CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW.


Close of the Annual Exhibition of the
Floral Society.
The third and last day of the annual fall
exhibition Of the California State Floral So
clety was marked by a larger attendance
than on any previous day, and general were
the expressions of satisfaction of those in
charge at the highly gratifying success of
the exhibit throughout
1t was not the aim of the society to make
large display on this occasion or to exhibit
a great variety of flowers, but rather to
make a good one; one that would arouse
enthusiasm and urge competition in the cul-
tivatinn of the Mikado's favorite, the chrys-
anlhemum, for this has been a chrysanthe-
mum show from first to last The new
quarters Of the society also possess many
striking advantages over the rooms used for
the exhibition in previous years in Irving
Hall on Post street.
The chief attraction last evening was
fine display of water lilies from the Golden
Gate Park conservatory. 1t included bud
of the Vict oria Regia, member of the
American water lily family, which early in
the afternoon had been placed in a tub of
water, and, supported by an immense leaf,
gradually unfolded its beautiful self to the
great delight Of many eager watchers.
Much credit Is due j. II. Gardner for the
admirable manner in which he managed this
exhibition. None Of the flowers will be
a sum from a disposal of the many beautiful
varieties of chrysanthemums of which the
display was so largely composed. Many have
been given away, but none were allowed to
be taken from the rooms before the exhibit
ton closed at III o'clock last night

Special to THE MORNING CALL

VICTORIA B. c., Nov s.-About o'clock
this afternoon brutal murder was COM
mitted in the kitchen of Il. Milligan's resi-
dence. A friend came to visit the Chinese
cook, Ling, and the two were heard quar-
reling by Mrs. Milligan. She tried to enter
the kitchen but found the door locked.
Becoming alarmed she telephoned for the
police, and in ter minutes an officer arrived,
and finding Ling coming around the
side of the house from the rear
entrance placed him under arrest. An
entrance was then obtained to the kitchen,
and several bloOdstains being noticed on a
bed, search revealed the body of China

was first struck from behind with a heavy
knife and then the neck gashed. The body
was saturated with blood, and close
by was found carying-knife, with
which wounds had been inflicted. Hasty
efforts had been made to conceal
traces OF the crime. The kitchen floor had
been washed, and in box were found the

POLITICS AT

Gossip Regarding The Fifty-sec-

Senator Sherman Attributes the "Land-
Slide to the Women.
A Republican Successor TO ingalls, Blair
Certain Of Reelection the
House Will Stand.
Epecial to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Washington is
the liveliest political town in the country
just now; the interest which in the States
eliminated in last Tuesdays election is
transferred TO the national capital and from
the present m oment until the next President
has been six months in Office there is likely
to be no lack of gossip. Politicians are
already turning their faces toward this city
and all of them have something interesting
to say. Senator Sherman OF Ohio reached
this city yesterday afternoon.
THE women did it." was his laconic reason
for the tidal wave. "They found pr ices
higher when they went shopping, and the
men had to vote against the Tariff Bill"
Senator Hawley of Connecticut also ar
rived yesterday from a tip home TO vote,
and was in cheerful III God. He says the
Connecticut Legislature is surely Republi-
can; that Senator Platt will be returned.
and The Republican party will retrieve its
losses in 1892.
Senator Chandler was heard from By tele-
graph to-day and asserts that the New
Hampshire Legislature is Republican, nor
do the Democrats seem able to extract much
consolation from the defeat of Senator
Irgalls, for a private dispatch from Gov
ernor Humphrey Of Kansas says the sue
eessor 10 ingalls, would be Republican.
This would indicate that the Farmers
Alliance men, who are pledged to vote against
ingalls, are not willing to 60 to the extent of
voting for Democrat.
The gossip about the House relates first of
all to the Speakcrship. Representative Mills
is in the fed and this puts new complex
ion on the face Of things, and the candidacy
of the other aspiran:s for the honor is some
what imperied. Mills election would seem
to he the logical result Of the existing con-
dition of affairs. lie fought the fight when
Morrison had left the contest unfinished.
and his admirable management Of the tariff
legislation in the Fftieth Congress will be
remembered to his credit. as he was the rec

was Speaker. 1t is but natural for him
to suppose that his party will honor
him, now that The opportunity to do so has
come. The following is correct according

THE SHARON ESTATE.
Much Money Being Invested in Washingto
Suburban PropartY

Much Money Being Invested in Washington
Suburban Property.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-A notable sale Of
suburban property has just been completed.
Thomas J. Fisher & Co., in connection with
o. G. Green, have sold to the Sharon estate
the country place of James C. Busey for
$4,000 cash. This place is located on
Woodley Lane road. about opposite the late
residence of eX-PTesident Cleveland. The
property comprises twenty-nine acres, and
the price per acre was therefore $4,000. 1t
is one of series of purchases which have
been made recently for the estate.
AS is well known, the late ex-senator
Sharon, for some years before his death,
was an extensive owner of real estate in
this city. His property lies mainly in the
northwestern section of the city, ard the
bulk of it was originally purchased about
the year 1871 by Judge Sunderland, who, in
connection with Judge Hilyer and Senator
Stewart, constituted the famous California
syndicate, whose extensive investments in
real estate here nearly twenty years ago was
the sensation of that day.
The land has become very valuable and
the demand for it has resulted in rapid sales
recently. Since last spring Thomas j.
Fisher & Co. have sold over 100000 worth
of property OF Sharon holdings in this city.
The Sharon estate owns property in the
suburbs of the city which represents an in
vestment of over 81 100000.
II is the intention to develop this property
and the work of building an electric rail
road is now in progress. Much money will
be expended in other ways, SO that the
Sharon estate will be an important factor in
the future development of the suburbs.
One of the heirs of the Sharon estate,
Francis G. Newlands, is personally an ex-
tens We owner Of real estate here. Last
spring he bought the country place of ex-
President Cleveland.

DESPERATE POLITICAL FIGHT.
Bloody Sequel to an Electirn-Day Quarrel in
Lexington, Ky.

L'xln g OF, Ky.
LEXINGTON (Ky.), Nov. S-The terrible
election-day duel in Estill County, OF which
only meager mention was made in the dis
patches Wednesday, turns out to have been
one Of the most desperate encounters ever
witnessed in Kentucky. The men engaged
in the affair were DR.. Lilly, a prominent
young physician, and John Wilson. Com
missioner of the Common Schools of Estill
County. Lilly was a Republican and Will
son Democrat Lilly brought up negro
to the polls to vote. when Wilson challenged
him. The judge c0incided with Wilson and
the negro was rejected. This fired up Lilly
and hot words ensued, resulting in the
drawing of pistols by both men. Lilly got
his weapon out readily, while Wilson's wea-
pom hung In his pocket and was accident
ally discharged before he could level it.
Meantime he received his antagonists bull
lets, both lodging near the heart.
The wounds, however, were not imme-
diately fatal, and the dreadful combat con-
tinued. Wilson got his weapon free and
fired two shots, one of which struck Lilly
near the heart.
About this time Wilson's brother inter
fered, and succeeded in wrestling Lilly's
weapon from his hands. Nothing daunted
him, however. and almost in the thrOes of
death he drew his knife and made several
fatal stabs in his enemy's body, and both
fell TO the ground; but the terrible duel was
not over. With his last ebbing strength
Wilson raised and fired the last load in his
pistol at Grant Lilly, brother of DR.. Lilly,
who had appeared on the scene, inflicting a
fatal wound. Not satisfied with this, Will
son crawled over to where his antagonist
had fallen and buried the hammer of his
pistol in Lilly's head. Lilly died in a few
minutes, while Wilson fingered until the
next noon. In addition to the already
named as having been shot, three outside
persons received bullets. but were not seri-
ously hurt. Altogether, the affair was the
most desperate that ever occurred in Estill
County

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE.
President Polk Says lis Irfuence Has Only
Repun to Be Falt


Begun TO Be Felt
WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-President Polk of
the National Farmers Alliance is very jubi-
liant over the result of the elections. In an
interview to-day he said: THE Democrats
and Republicans are claiming everything
just now, but when they come to sift the
chaff from the wheat they will find
the Farmers Alliance had something
to do with electing fair proportion of the
good men who will have seats in the next
Congress. Up to the present time it is
certainty that Congress will contain thirty
eight straight-out Alliance men. and there
are twelve or fifteen more who are pledged
to us. These men are from the South and
Northwest-the two sections in which the
most of our work was DONE
" The Alliance in Nebraska, Minnesota
and Iowa is not our organization and is not
anal gamated with US, but it made the same
fight and will join us this winter. Our alli-
ance will cooperate with any farmers asso-
citation, and in little While will have a grip
on the situation in almost every corner of
the land.
I'VE are here to stay. This great reform
movement will not cease until it has i'm
pressed itself indelibly in the nations his
tory. Financial reform is necessity and it
must come. The press and the voice of
the stump speaker were our only assist
ants. The Alliance has no campaign fund, no
Doodle. Ii we had had money we would not
have used it. The principles on which the
alliance is founded are solid and correct; we
must succeed. The fight was no small af-
fair. The extremists of both parties at
tackled us bitterly and gave not an inch Of
ground. In the South it was the Democrats
vino opposed us; in the North our most
vigorous antagonists were the Republicans.

Republicans carried the State by popular
majority of over 2,00O, while the Democrats
secured two-thirds of the Congressman.
Protection is stronger to-day than 1t ever
was. and it will continue to grow In favor.
The Tariff Bill was misunderstood and
shamefully misrepresented. The latter
was done by importers, many OF whom
are not citizens of the United States and
are free-traders. L am sure it will win in
the end. The same issue win come to the
front in 1892, and then it will be better un-

from Mendocino and Siskiyou conflict with
the returns previously received from both

however, the effect will be to reduce Bar

The contest between Blanchard and

dangerous margin considering the fact that
only thirty-f0ur precincts remain to be heard
from, OF which nineteen are situated in
Mariposa County, where the Democrats had
majority of 100 TO 125 in 1888. The remain
