MISS DICKS IMPERSONATOR.
A Possible Clue to the Identity of the
Swindler Discovered.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. PA possible
Miss Emma L. Dick, and thereby
was furnished by San Diego gentleman
fraud attempted in the southern city,
and the fact that the pretended Miss
Dick is believed by some persons to
have been man in disguise. 1t
appears from the gentleman statement
that about eighteen months ago Will
liam Allison, an employee of an abstract
office in San Diego, and one Ryan
claimed to have a power of attorney
from w. H. Booth, San Jose man, to
sell some property, and in trying to
negotiate it were discovered and ar
rested. Allison was we'll connected in
Kansas, and after having two trials,
which both ended in disagreement, was
admitted to bail in 10000 and was al
lowed to depart for Kansas. While
his case was pending Ryan was declared
innocent. News from Kansas that
Allison was near deaths door, made the
judges relent, and they struck his case
from the calendar, allowing his bonds
men to withdraw their deposits. About
six weeks ago William Allison, the ex-
San Diegan, made his appearance in this
city and was at once recognized by an
ex-San Diego peace officer who now re-
sides in San Francisco. Allison is young
man and could impersonate woman to
perfection, while the plan which he out
lined in San Diego was similar to that
executed in the Dick-Crane affair, and
the San Diego officer yesterday was con-
vinced that the two frauds were worked
by the same person. Allison has not
been seen since the Crane swindle came
to light

CORBETT IS WILLING.
He Whipped Kilrain Once and Can Do

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-Jim Cor
bett has received the following dispatch
from the Metropolitan club OF New Or
leans: "Will you meet Kilrain in linn
tied number of rounds for a $4,000
purse?"
The Metropolitan club is one of the
strongest organizations in New Orleans
1t but recently decided to 60 into the
prize fighting business. 1t has offered
an $4,000 purse to Dempsey and Fitz-
simmons, one OF $4,000 to La Blanche
and Mitchell, $500 to Ed Smith and
Dave Campbell and $4,000 to Bowen and
McAuliffe, or Myers and McAuliffe.
Regarding the offer, Corbttt said this
afternoon; II can do nothing until
May 1st, when 1 leave the Olympic club.
Then l will probably have an engage
ment, but, of course, do not intend to
let good offer pass, and especially with
Kilrain whom l believe whipped fairly
in our contest in New Orleans some
months ago. If the Metropolitan or
any other southern club makes me a
good offer after May next, they will not
have to wait long for my acceptance"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-In the senate
today Frye offered concurrent resolu-
tion (agreed toy directing the secretaries
of state, treasury, war and navy to ex-
anime the report and recommendations
of the international marine conference
of February, 1890, and prepare and sub
NIT to congress bills for the enactment
into laws OF such recommendations so
far as they apply to their respective de-
partments and meet their approval.
The senate then proceeded to con-
sideration of bills on the calendar, unob-
jected to. Among the bills passed was
the senate bill in recognition of the
merits and services of Chief Engineer
George Wallace Melville, U. S. N, and
other officers and men of the Jeanette
Arctic expedition. 1t provides for the
advance of Melville one grade, and a
medal to each survivor and the heirs of
of the dead.
Hale introduced a Joint resolution,
which went over without action, author
izing the secretary OF the navy to pur-
chase at his discretion, nickel ore, or
nickel metal to be used in the manufac-
ture of nickel steel armour plating, ar
mour piercing projectiles and other
naval objects, and appropriating 81 ,000,-
600 for the purpose.
Boutelle has introduced similar res
olution in the house.
The senate resumed consideration of
the house bill with the senate substi-
tutesl to define and regulate the juris
diction of courts of the United States,
and it passed, 45 to 6. Conferees were
appointed.
The bill, as passed, provides for the
appointment by the president of an
additional circuit Judge with the same
compensation as the other circuit
Judges. 1t creates in each circuit a
court of appeals to consist of three
judges, and which is to be court of
record with appellate jurisdiction.
A term is to be he held annually by
the circuit court OF appeals in the several
judicial circuits. No appeal whatever,
by writ of error or otherwise, is to be
hereafter taken or allowed from any dis
trict court to the existing circuit courts,
and no appellate jurisdiction is hereafter
to be exercised or allowed by said existing
circuit courts, but all appeals shall only
be subject to review in the supreme
court OF the United States, or in the cir
cult court OF appeals.
Hale's JOINT resolution appropriating
$1,000,000 for the purchase of nickel for
the navy department was referred to the
judiciary committee.
The senate then resumed consideration
of the bill to establish a United States
land court.
Blair made determined effort to have
it postponed in order to take up the
house bill for the adjustment Of wages
of laborers under the eight-hour law,
but after a long discussion his motion
was rejected.
The land court bill went over without
action.
The senate bill to pay the rep
resentatives of Captain Ericsson $13,930,
due him by decree of the court of
claims in 1857, was passed.

LOST IN THE FOG.
Captain Hageman Says He Did Not De-
sert His Boat Crews.


sert His Boat Crews.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-Captain
Hageman, of the sealing schooner G. G..
White, which arrived today from Alaska,
was much disturbed at hearing that
some of his crew who were found adrift
in Bering Sea and been brought to this
city, had accused him OF deserting them.
The captain stated that the schooner
caught very few seals after leaving here
last February, and when the schooner
Lewis was spoken some time in July and
reported good sealing off Copper island
the crew of the White became clamorous
to proceed in that direction
The, captain refused as the is
land is under Russian jurisdiction, but
during the night the man at the wheel
directed the cruiser toward the island.
August 2nd, six OF the schooner's boats
put off for the island. A fog arose and
the schooner cruised around all day be-
fore two, OF the boats were picked up.
the island and find the other four boats,
were probably out of them. For six
days the schooner beat about the island
in the fog, or drifted about becalmed,
but though cannon was fired several
times, none OF the boats returned, and
the captain finally concluded that the
men had given themselves up to the
Russian authorities rather than
starve on the island. Ten days after the
boats disappeared, the captain headed
the schooner for San Francisco. The
missing boats on making the island
were fired on by the Russians
and one man was killed and two wounded.
The crews of two boats were thrown
into prison, but were released on the
representations OF an agent of the Alaska
Commercial company, and were sent to
San Francisco, while the crews of the
other four boats were eventually picked
up bp the schooner j. Hnmilton Lewis
and brought to this city.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Kennedy's Famous Speech Eliminated
From the Record.

IA
From the Record.
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 24.-In the house
today. Miller of South Carolina, yester-
day elected from the seventh South Car
olina district, appeared and took the
oath.
The committee on foreign affairs re-
ported resolution calling on the presi-
dent for information relative to the kill
ing of General Barrundia. McCreary,
of Kentucky, strenuously advocated the
resolution.
Stewart, of Vermont, from the COM
mittee on judiciary, reported the follow
ing: 'The house, deeming it high
duty that the utmost courtesy and de-
corum should mark the mutual rela-
tions of the two houses OF congress, does
hereby express its disapproval OF
the parliamentary language used by
r. P. Kennedy, a representative from
the state of Ohio, in speech delivered
on the floor of the house on the third
day of September, 1890, and published
in the congressional record, September
IA, 1890, and considering it impracti-
cable to separate the unparliamentary
portions of said speech from such parts
thereof as may be parliamentary, there
fore,
s'Resolved, That the public printer be
directed to exclude from the permanent
congressional record the entire speech of
Hon. Robert p. Kennedy in the first
resolution mentioned"
Kennedy made an eloquent speech in
his own defense, making, however, no
apology for his previous remarks.
Kennedy, in his speech, referred
again to the pledges in the Republican
platform, and the fact that the elections
bill had not yet been passed upon by
the senate. 1t was for this that he had
spoken of broken pledges. 1t was not
the fault of the house, and he had a
right to say this here and elsewhere.
He had but spoken in defense of the
poor, down-trodden and oppressed, in
behalf of liberty, justice, free ballot
and fair count.
Stewart spoke briefly in re-
ply, saying the question simply
was whether the speech, which was in
spirit and substance bitter and savage
arraignment of the coordinate branch,
was a violation OF parliamentary law
and the privileges of the house.
Struble, of Iowa, endeavored in vain to
secure action on the substitute, declar-
ing the house disapproved of so much OF
the speech as in any manner reflects
upon the senate or any member thereof
in his official capacity.
This was not read and the previous
question was ordered on the former res
olution, it being adopted, $50 to 36.
