lie did not improve and decided to return to
Tacoma. While looking for ticket office
on Monday in San Francisco he met young
man who appeared to take great interest in
him and assisted him In procuring his ticket.
Then he accompanied him across the bay to
Oakland pier, but instead Of directing him
TO the Oregon express the young man put
Kane on the Alameda local train and rode
with him as far as Bay-Street station, where
they both aiighted.
Alter walking few blocks the old man

to him and found him lying PROSTATE on San

was found an hour later riding on the mar

denied That lie had seen the old man and
said that he had come over to Alameda on
visit. Subsequently he changed his story
and acknowledged that he had been In the

ANOTHER TEMPEST.

Auditor Strother Declares He Will Not
Sign the Returns.
There was no canvassing Of returns by
the Election Commission yesterday fore
noon. The greater portion of the time was
consumed by Auditor Strother, who had an
other attack of the sorehead, and swore he
would not sign any of the returns that were
so manifestly incorrect.
Yesterdays disgraceful exhibition OF the
chagrined demagogue was only scene two
of a programme that has been concocted by
the Democratic s0reheads to obstruct the
official canvass. As usual, Strother was the
mouthpiece. Reducing his fifty-minute va
porings to their real substance. the story is
told in these simple words: 1--WE are going
to throw out this whole election work and
force a general recount, by reasonable
means if possible, by unfair means II nee
essary."
He admitted in the course of his mouth
ings that he would refuse TO sign the re-
turns and force the issuance of mandamus.
That would throw the whole matter into
court and the ballots would have to be
counted.
1t was shown as plainly as figures could
show that the data on the disputed tally
sheets were ample to carry out the entire
vote OF the precinct with the utmost ac-
curacy.
MIR. Strother didn't care. He was not in a
condition to be convinced. He wanted
those precincts thrown out completely, and
made a motion to that effect.
Mayor Pond evidently took no sides with
the Auditor, and voted with Commissioner
O'Brien on every proposition. Strother saw
he was out-measured. Commissioners Smith
and Flournoy were both absent, neither
having any further interest in election
matters. So all that the irate Strother
could do was to hiss and suarl in impotent
fury. He finally simmered down by de-
clarng he would not sign the returns when
the canvass was completed.
A. j. Clunie found his way up to the front
desk during Strolher's harangue, and when
the tempest subsidized so tlIat he could be
heard he entered protest against the eau
vass because the entire commission had not
been present during the progress. He fur
Their demanded that the commission order
tho ballots taken from the vault aud
counted
No notice was taken of the protests, and
dnring the afternoon the canvass proceeded.

Thirty-eighth District, though several pre-
cincts had been skipped.

FIRE MATTERS.

The Purchas- OF Another water-Tower
Recommen ed.
AT the meeting of the Fire Committee OF
the Board of Supervisors yesterday after
noon Chief Scannell reported that the
bridge at the foot of Fourth street was in
such a wretched condition that in case OF
fire on the other side the department could
not get across it without an hour or two OF
delay. The committee resolved to notify
the Superintendent of Streets of the condi-
ton of the bridge and direct him to make
the necessary repairs.
The purchase of water-tower and ma
chinery, such as the Fire Commissioners
and Chief Engineer have repeatedly asked
for, was recommended. The argument that
there is no money in the Fire Department
Fund was answered by the committee that
in six months more the money from taxes
will be coming in and the department will
have all the funds necessary.
The payment of $50 to James Commit.
foreman of Engine Company /, as recon-
mended by the Fire Commissioners. was
ordered. Commit was injured at fire on

SLAPPED HIS FACE.
Skipper Elliott Attacked by His Sister

ip-Llw.
Captain George Elliott, master of coast
ing vessel, was yesterday granted the
custody of his two children by Judge Finn.
The mother Of the children has been insane
for ten years, during which time they have
been in the custody Of Mrs. Bertha Sparks,
a sister OF Mrs. Elliott. When the father
demanded possession of his children the
aunt refused to let them go. This led him
to sue out writ OF habeaS corpus, with the
result already stated. As he was leaving
the court Mrs. Sparks attacked him
furiously. She abused him for tearing away
from her the children to whom she said she
had become very much attached, ard ended
by viciOusly slapping his weather beaten
face. He made no defense, because both his
hands were occupied in holding his chill
dren

A copy of the report of the committee that
was nominated by the Senate of Colombia
to study the plans OF Lieutenant Wyse, in
which he. solicited for an extension of the
concession for the construction of the Pana-
ma Canal, was published in Spanish by the

Government Of 20,000,000 francs. and by
giving shares in the new company to the
same amount The first sum to be paid in

it was debated at great length.
The following dispatch from NJ. Wyse

A Bolivian paper reports that while the
procession of Our Lady of Mercy was pass
ing through the streets of La PaZ, the
capital. the daughters of Senior Jorge f.
Pinto, the Argentine Minister in Bolivia,
happened to pass near the procession,
dressed in ordinary everyday costume The
religious feelings of those in the procession
induced them to murmur and complain, and
at length police officer violently tore the
hat off the head of one of the young ladies.
This act must in no way be considered one
common in Bolivia, but it may safely be as
sumed that if the officer who thus acted
were casually to visit any Argentine city
he would promptly learn the penalty there
attaching TO those who would thus publicly
insult a lady.

Nothing has been discovered regarding
the whereabouts of eX-Dictator PierOla,
who made his escape from prison week
ago. 1t now appears that his wife carried
bundle of female attire to his room in the
Police Office. and after his escape his own
clothes were found there, together with evil
dences that he had cut his hair and shaved
his whiskers. The officers of the Police
Office are still under arrest for negligence
of duty, but it is imagined that no very en-
ergetic efforts are being taken to recapture
the fugitive, whose detention was becoming
troublesome, and from the fact that tile legal
proceedings against him had been aban-
doned, his further incarceration was regard
ed unnecessary.
Professor Raymond, the famous Italian
naturalist and geographer, and whose great
book on Peru is not yet completed. has been

are entertained for his recovery. His loss
