One Hundred and Eighty Coolies Who
Were Going to Mexico.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 12th.-The steamer
China reached this port yesterday morning
Much interest was centered in the arrival
OF the vessel, as it was expected she would
have an unusually large number of passen-
gers in transit to Mexican ports, and test
OF Secretary WINDOWS recent order, refus-
ing them permission to depart for Mexico,
was expected. Collector of the Portohelps,
with his assistants, were early at the wharf
to await the docking of the vessel and as
certain the nature of things regarding Chi
nese passengers. The news that not
single Chinese was on board bound for
Mexican ports was great surprise.
For time it could not be stated why no
passengers had arrived booked for Mexican
ports, but this morning the reason was
made known. Before the news of Secre-
tary WINDOWS order was dispatched by
cable from this city, Chinese focked on
board the China at Hongkong, and 1S0 Sc
cured tickets for Mexican ports. Then the
csblegram giving notice of the Window
order was received. The steamship Off
cials at Hongkong accordingly notified the
entire number that passage was refused
and their money would be refunded. This
programme was carried out, and it is be-
lleved that in consequence the steamship
line lost about $4,000. OF the 1S0 that in.

ANOTHER SCANDAL.
An Aged Millionaire Attempts to Shoot
Woman.

Woman.
New YORK May 12th.-Murat Masterson,
who says he is an ex-Supreme Court Judge
of Prescott, Arizona, and who lives at 80
West Thirty street, was locked up
tonight on charge of attempting to kill
his alleged cousin and mistress, Mrs. Alice
Hopkinson, at the Grand Central, 65 West
Thirty-six street.
Mrs. Hopkinson makes similar charge
against Masterson. Masterson, according
to the account given by Mrs. Hopkinson's y
maid, called at the house early IN the even
ing, and being denied admittance kicked
the door open and entered her apartment,
demanding S100, 900 which he claimed she
had swindled him out of.
A shot was heard shortly afterwards, and
Masterson rushed from the room with a
smoking pistol in his hand, and running
demanded Mrs. Hopkinson's arrest for
attempting to shoot him. Mrs. Hopkinson
was arrested, and at the police station made
counter charge against Masterson.
Ex-Judge Masterson comes from Prescott.
Ariz., and is said to be worth S. ,0O0, 900.
He had been visitor at the flat long
time, and his son Howard, a boy of 13, lived
with Mrs. Hopkinson until few weeks
ago.
Masterson, it is also said, owns gold
mines in Chihuahua, Old Mexico, and onyx
mines in Arizona His story is that the
woman swindled him out of 500 600 in
mine bonds, and when he demanded their
return she shot at him, and that she is now
trying to blackmail him. He added that
be had been her dupe long enough.
The woman denies the accusations, and
claims that she was partner of his in the
mining business, and that the money she
retained was her share of the profits, and
that Masterson attempted to shoot her. A
week ago, she said, he beat her black and
blue, and took $500 and gold watch from
her.
In the woman's possession were found
loving letters from Masterson in which he
speaks of her as the only woman he ever
truly loved. Mrs. Hopkiuson is blonde
about p years old and claims to be mar
ried: Jealousy is at the bottom of the
trouble. A prominent New York business
man, said to be George Carlyle Warner, is
mixed up in the affair. Masterson is q
married man.

W estern Roads Are Cutting Rates Down
Extra Service.
CHICAGO, May 12th.-There never was a
more mixed state of railroad affairs than
that existing in the Western passenger
business. Tomorrow the Alton will begin
selling tickets either way between Chicago
and Kansas City for So, and between Chi
cago and Denver for $40 so.
The Atchison road will meet these rates
on Wednesday. The Burlington and
Northwestern roads will not decide until
to- morrow what they will do. The Chi
cago, st. Paul and Kansas City will stick TO
the present IS rate n order to preserve Its
local.
To cap the climax the Rock Island will
raise its rate between Chicago and Kansas
City to 50 30, thus preserving its entire local
passenger earnings but abandoning through
business.
Beginning in few days the Atchison
will carry the war into Africa by putting
on q double daily vestibule train service
between Chicago and San Francisco which
will beat its present time Just twenty-four
hours. This will reduce the time between
Chicago and Kansas City to fourteen hours,
a time with which the Alton alone can
compete.
Not to lag behind in the procession the
Burlington also gave notice that beginning
on May 10Th, it will reduce rates both wavs
between Chicago and st. Paul to So first
class and $5 second-class.
The st. Paul road also bobbed up with a
notice that on May 26th it would make. in
connection with the Iowa Central, a rate OF
$40 for first-class and 81 second class from
st. Paul to Kansas City and $11 first-class
and IS second-class from Kansas City to
st. Paul.
General Passenger Agent Busenbank, OF
the Chicago, st. Paul and Kansas CITY,
said that his line was the short one between
these points and that he would meet the
reduction.

1t is Said That the Famous Colt Has
Seen His Best Days.
CHICAGO, May 12th.-The Times CORE
spondent at Nashville, Tenn, telegraphs as
follows: i have read the accounts of how
the New YORK World had sent a veteri-
marian down to Nashville expressly to ex
anime and report on the condition of Ell
Rio Rey, of how he made thorough and
critical examination of the great horse,
and how he found him sound and all right
with the exception of some head trouble,
catarrh, perhaps, which can readily be
cured. l believe that, with the single ex-
ceptlon of the Superintendent, | am the
most frequent visitor to the track here. and
if any New York vet has examined El
Rio Rey in Nashville he must have done
so when Major Estill was asleep, when Joe
Courtney was away and when 1 was hold
ing down ward meeting in the other end
of the town.
II am sure no one here will accuse me of
being prejudiced against Ell Rio Rev. All
know how reluctantly have brought nv
pen to describe him as he is, or, at least, as
believe him to be. All know how stuck
to him through good and evil report until
the facts came out. and became convinced
OF his true condition, and hence whatever
say here concerning him / say with the
keenest regret, not only from my admira-
.tion for the horse, but also from the respect
and esteem in which I hold Mr.. Winters.
Major Estill and Mr.. Courtney
II know that they have all along been
hopeful of the horse and are still hopeful.
but they must prepare to face the inevitable.

that his wind is permanently and seriously

Probably Those of Packers Who Were
Killed Thirty-Two Years Ago.
MARYsvILLE. May 12th.-Two human
skeletons, believed to be those of white
men, were unearthed few DAYS ago in dig
ging ditch on the Friesleben ranch on
Feather river, about midway between
Marysville and Oroville.
In early days there was noted hostelry
there known as "Charley's ranch" and old
residents recollect that in the fall of 1858
two men mysteriously disappeared at that
place. They were packers, and pitched
their camp short distance above the
hotel. On the evening of their arrival they
drank freely, but refused to gamble. They
left the hotel about midnight, and were
never seen again.
A few days later a noted gambler took
possession of their pack animals and other
effects, displaying bill of sale of the prop
erty. The missing men were known to
have had a considerable sum of money in
their custody belonging to other parties,
and the report was spread that they alb.
seconded with it, bat the discovery of the
skeletons in spot where there was no sur
face indication of a grave puts the disap-
pearance of the two men in new light,
and suggests robbery and murder.

Mob of Sight-Seers.
BALTIMORE. May 12th.-The cruiser Bal
timore was invaded by mob of 10000
people yesterday, who played havoc with
the beautiful vessel A general invitation
had been extended by Captain Schley to
the public, but he did not expect such
wholesale acceptance.
From early in the morning until late in
the afternoon men, women and children
crowded in on to the vessel until it was
almost impossible to move on. Ten police
men had been detailed by Marshal Frey to
help preserve order, but they might as we'll
have been kept at home, as a hundred
officers could not have prevented the crowd
clambering over the sides and taking posr
session of every part of the ship. They
forced their way into private as well as
public quarters, even the hold being
thronged. Captain Schley and his officers
were utterly unable to cope with such
mob.
Not content with breaking up rods, sky
lights and minor attachments, thieves stole
the ships glasses. The vessel will require
considerable cleaning before she regains
her trim appearance.

WAS NOT A THIEF.
1t Was a Case of Woman, and Not At
tempted Robbery.


ST. LOUIS, May 12th.-There are new de-
velopments in the case of Henry Kunalt,
who was shot and killed last Thursday
morning by George Stahlksmp, who
claimed Kunalt was trying to rob his shop
1t has been learned that Kupalt was not on
thieving mission. His character had al
ways been good. He had no need to steal
Kunalt, who was married only six
months ago, had an old sweetheart, and he
was not entirely off with the old love when
he married the new. He had an appoint
ment with her for that night, and the loca-
ton of Stahlkamp's carpenter shop was
such as to make it convenient trysting
place.
Stahlkamp, when questioned, said the
man made no effort to force the door, but
simply put his hand on the lock. He did
not use his gun then, and did not fire until
after his victim had run fully fifty feet
away from him. 1t is altogether probable
that the authorities will take up the case
again, and that there will be some highly
sensational revelations.

Washington and Idaho, end says the
amount of snow in those sections is appaIl-

has been made upon it by the warm
weather. He is of the opinion, Judging
from what he has seen, and the conditions
attending previous spring freshets, that
within month C@ur d'Alene, Spokane
and Snake rivers will be fearfully swollen,
and consequently the Columbia will have
all she can do to carry off the melting
snow. The latter river is steadily but
slowly rising. which fact accounts for the
rise in the Willamette at this place.
