and hastened back to the husband in Oak
land. She informed him of the discovery
she had made, told him with every evidence
of deep emotion that she loved only him,
and asked his assistance TO relieve her from
her strange predicament.
She expressed deep fear of the legal
consequences of her action in entering
into second marriage while her first hus-
band was still living, and begged No. to
save her from a prosecution for bigamy.
After consultation, in was decided that
legal separation should be secured, and that
she should then commence proceedings for
divorce against ber first husband for deser-
ton, that the butcher aud herself could
then be reunited and all would be merry.
The flrst part OF this programme was car
ried out in a remarkably smooth and pleas
ant manner, the butcher paying the e4-
penses of the suit and supporting her dur
ing the pendency of the legal proceedings.
Strange to say, however, no sooner had
this separation been effected than Smith
appeared and demanded of Lough an inter-
view with his wife. She asserted her COM
plete devotion to Lough and refused to
meet Smith. Happy in the possession of
such undying love, the young butcher now
urged the institution of divorce proceed
ings by her against her first husband.
What was his surprise at this juncture,
when one evening recently upon returning
TO his home, he found instead of his COM
panion note informing him that she had
found the old love too strong to be resisted,
and had departed with Smith.
Lough takes his loss philosophically, and
says he is satisfied with the denouement,
but that he is often led to wonder if the
temporary Mrs. Lough really intended to
remarry him when she was urging the sep
aration and promising to secure a divorce
from Smith

POWER OF THE PRESS.
How Some Newspaper Clippings Wer
Used in n Divorce Suit

How Some Newspaper Clippings Were
Used in a Divorce Suit.
OAKLAND, January 18th. Rudolph Wenz-
lick, who has been attempting to get di-
vorce from his wife on the ground of deser-
ton, was treated to surprise by Judge
Ellsworth yesterday. There appeared
to be no defense to the action, and the
plaintiff expected that he would get his
decree as matter of course. But the re-
suit was entirely different. 1t appears that
Wenzlick disappeared mysteriously from
his wife and family in New York in 1874.
His disappearance created great sensa-
ton, and was reported in the daily papers
under the head lines, "Was He Murdered
and Robbed" and other titles, indicating
that he was supposed to have been foully
dealt with. These newspaper accounts, it
appears, had been clipped out and preserved
by Wenzlick's family, and it also appears
that son of his learned of his fathers
whereabouts and his action for divorce in
Alameda county.
Therefore, instead of going to the ex-
pense of making legal defense to the
action, the son advised his mother and sent
on the newspaper clippings and other in
formation to Judge Ellsworth. When the
Judge made them the basis of a searching
cross-examination in court yesterday morn
ing, Mr.. Wenzlick's chances were knocked
all to pieces.
Judge Ellsworth refused to grant the de-
cree, saying, There is not sufficient evi-
dence that your wife deserted you"

CANADA,s POLICY.
Many of Her People Are DESTROYS OF
Annexation.

Many OF Her People Are OeSlrouS OF
Annexation.
LONDON (Ont), January 12th.-Erastus
Wiman addressed a meeting here under
the auspices of the Young Liberal Club.
His subject was the Three Futures for
Canada" These he defined as continued
colonialism, annexation or an Independent
Republic. The speaker believed that if an
arrangement could be made between the
United States and Canada for commercial
freedom, Great Britain might continue to
hold forth part of her Empire on the North
American continent. If, how ever, annex
alton were deemed desirable, it could
sooner be brought about by commercial
arrangement between the two countries
than by policy of pressure, isolation and
indiferentism.
Annexation in Canada" he said. chad
been made a disloyal bugbear, which a
mock sentimentality had clothed with
features unattraciivs, but which upon ex-
animation would be found to be of the
most desirable character. 1t was one of
the noblest heritages 10 be an American
citizen, and the child born in the United
States to succeed to the achievements of
the present generation had possibilities of
a happier future than the child born in
any other land under the sun. Generous
in their instincts, unstinted in their well
come progressive, intelligent and success
full, there is no people with whom it would
be more honorable to be joined. But an
nexation was not question for US to de-
eide, but for our children and for their
children"
Mr.. Wiman maintained that the growth
of the annexation sentiment in Canada had
been promoted by discussion of the pos
sibilities of a commercial union, but that
as practical force IN politics it would take
twenty five years to elect twenty five men,
bers of Parliament of 250 in favor of
separation from Great Britain. An inde-
pendent nationality was much more at
tractive, and there was no reason why the
young Canadians should not look forward
to great republic in perfect harmony with
the United States.
Mr.. Wiman said that the whole question
of the success of Canada must be decided
in this, the last decade of the present CEN
tury. At the general election to be held
within eighteen months, the question, if
not squarely before the people, would re-
suit in the triumph of the Liberal party,
who had adopted as the sole plank on their
platform, unrestricted trade relations.
Should Congress Y press its readiness
to meet this ovei 10 power on earth
could prevent practical union for all COM
mercial purposes.

Good 'Thrashing..
WASHINGTON, January 12th.-The fol-
lowing story appears in to-day's Sunday
C0pitaL. A letter received from Japan a
few days ago tells q remarkable story of the
action of Vice-Consul William Skidmore
at Yokohama, which is sanything but cred
liable. A party of naval officers have
started hoIel at Yokohama as a matter of
speculation, and they elected q board of
officers to attend to the business end OF the
concern.
The President of the board is. we'll
known in Washington and held in high
esteem by prominent people all over the
country. About week ago, so the letter
reads, when he wes siitirr ~ the nerlor of

by the Vice-CoesEi and ordered TO tell the
barkeeper to mix him g drink He was
told politely bat firmly that he bad moth
ing to do with the 5arroOm. whr7eupon The
representative Of ihe United States took
himself off 7areltly satisfied.
About miuni eI1, when the officer in
question was reforming from . party, he
was surprised TO the Vioe-Consnl bang
ing at the door of the-hotei. When asked
by the officer what he wanted, he ordered
him to mix him drink. 1t was observed
that the Vice Consul had already paqtaken
of liquor refreshments, in order to avoid
q disturbance the officer quietly told him
he had nothing 10 do with the bar and
started to walk away. The Consul seeing
this hurried toward him, saying: Il am
five feet ten, and viii make you do as 1
wish" He then struck at the officer two
or three times. This was more than the
American navy could stand, and a few
well.directed blows had a very decided eff
feet upon the eyes and nose of the Vice
Consul
The latest accounts say that ne is laid up.
The mother of the Vice Consul brought
charges against the officer before the Ad-
miral, but this gentleman said the officer
treated him Just as he deserved and refused
to notice the charge. The American colony

An Effort to be Made to Keep Out Jap
anese Women.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 12th.-The at.
tention of Collector of the Port Phelps has
recently been called to the fact that there
has. been an increase in the number of
japanese women arriving at this port in
the past few rlonths. There might seem
nothing extraordinary in the fact were it
not that it is only too evident that the
women came, or were brought here, for
immoral purposes. During the past year
ninety females have been imported here
from the Mikado's kingdom. Some of the
women call themselves teachers, others
tourists aud yet others domestics.
AS soon as be became apprised of the
facts Collector Phelps consulted with I'M
migration Commissioner Thornley, in order
to see what steps could be taken to prevent
the arrivals of the women, as there is no
law covering the subject. The Commis-
sioner said that if Mr.. Phelps would CO.
operate with him he would do his best to
endeavor to put stop to the importation.
Another conference will be held this week
by the two officials.

WASHINGTON, January l2th.-The Sunday
Herald to-day says At a reception TO the
New York Worlds Far delegation at the
Arlington last night ex Secretary w. G.
Whitney was in one corner Of the room,
where he held quite reception. Every
body appeared glad 10 see him. A re-

In reference to politics be said It's too
early to anticipate what 1882 will bring
forth, but Unjust say everything is in favor
of ex-President Cleveland very strongly,
and if it continues TO increase nothing can
prevent his nomination. If anything, I
believe Mr.. Cleveland is more popular
with the masses to-day than he was in
1884.
