A San Francisco Girl Becomes Heir to
a Title iu Germany.
BERLIN, Nov. 15.-The case of Mrs.
Catherine Robinson and Miss Ida Green.
who have been suing for the estate of the
late Baron Won Barnekow, has been de-
cided in favor of the claimants. Miss
Green, the courts decide, is entitled to call
herself Baroness Won Barnekow and re-
ceives the whole of the Baron's property
after his debts are paid.
ears ago Baron Won Barnekow, an
officer Of the German army, after life oil
dissipation, fled to America and, after a
varied career, became runner for hotel
in San Francisco under the alias of Fred
Green. While employed in this capacity
he became acquainted with girl named
Galligan. The couple lived together,
though not legally married, but after the
birth of daughter the Baron yielded to
the importantly of the girl and married
her, thereby. under the laws of Cali
fornia, making the daughter, though born
out of wedlock, his legal issue. The Ba-
ron soon resumed his dissipated life, ne
glecting and finally deserting his family.
His wife applied for and was granted a
divorce.
Baron Won Barnekow subsequently re-
turned to Germany, falling heir to the
family title and estates. Without obtain
ing divorce he married again. In 1887,
the year before his California wife OBJ
tanned her divorce. the Baron died. His
second marriage was naturally illegal.
Without knowing that her husband was
dead Mrs. Green obtained divorce and
later on married sailor named Robin

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. ia Times
Democrats Tyler (Tex.), special saws:
The clearinghouse of Bonner & Bonner
has been forced to the wall. 1t had a
successful career of twenty years, and a
reputation as one of the solidest and
soundest banks in the State. The news
OF the failure spread like wild-tire, and
was the one topic of conversation. 1t has
been known by those familiar with it's
affairs that the bank was in straits, but it
was thought that it would be able to pull
through. Yesterday its paper went to
protest In New Orleans, and Receiver
campbell OF the International and Great
Northern Railway, ran an attachment
against it for S3S5, ,2IS, being the amount
belonging to the receivership OH denosit.
There had been deeds of trust eX ecuted
by the bank as guarantee for the rail
roads deposits. Receiver Campbell,
thinking its deposits still insufIiciently
secure, ran the attachment above referred.
The failure is, in fact, an assignment
for the benefit of certain preferred credit
ors and the depositors generally. Ii is
thought that the loss to outside banks
VIII be small, as most have withdraw n
their balances or were secured The in
dividual and business deposit accounts
were heavy, and the loss will be severely
felt, many men losing the savings of
years. The failure will occasion no panic
at other banks of the city This evening
the books showed, as far as can be learned,
that the banks liabilities will exceed half
million. The assets are said to exceed
the Liabilities, but as they consist of stock
and personal paper, is is not known
whether they will realize face value.

Washington special says: Minister Ryan,
who has been here for few days to con-
fer with Secretary Blaine in regard 10 the
negotiations for reciprocity agreement
with Mexico, will leave Washington thiS
week and return to his post of duty. 1t
IS understood that an agreement will be
concluded and proclaimed before January
/, 1892, the date fixed by the third section
of the Tariff Act.
What products of the United States
Mexico will agree to admit free, or at re-
duced rates of duty, in consideration of
the free admission into the United States
of coffee and hides produced in Mexico,
is not yet fully determined
MeXico's exports of coffee and hides to
the United States amount to about S., 5,OO0,-
600 year, of which seven-tenths are
coffee and three-tenths hides and skins.
Both those articles have been admitted
into the United States free of duty since
1872, and the Mexican trade with the
United States in these articles was estab-
llshed and has been maintained on that
basis. 1t is natural that Mexico should
suggest that to change this basis now and
impose duties unless she shall comply
with the conditions which have not been
eXacted heretofore would be likely to
arouse ill-feeling against the United
States and divert the coffee export trade
from this country to the European coun-
tries, which stand ready to receive it,
The Mexican cotfee-planters, who now
receive advances from the importers and
merchants in the United States which
enable them to carry on operations, could
obtain such advances without difficulty
from English, French or German inn
porters and merchants. There is good
reason to believe, however, that Mexico
will agree to substantial concessions in
favor OF certain products of the United
States, for there is no doubt of the sin
cere desire Of the Mexican Government
to promote friendly relations and the
freest commercial intercourse with the
United States

Gutta-Percha Trnes.

The Ken Bulletin makes some peril
nent comments upon the recent discovery
in the forest of Bonket-T -Timah, near Sim
gapore, of a supply of the most valuable
species of gutta-percha trees, which were
supposed to be practically extinct. This
particular quality of gutta-percha, it ap-
pears, was in especial demand for sub
marine cables, and the ignorant natives
exterminated the trees in their eagerness
to supply the market. 1t is said that the
commoner kind of gutta-percha trees
will also disappear in few years, if
they are not protected in some way. The
Bulletin regrets that the whereabouts of
the newly discovered grove has been
published, and urges the Government to
take steps to preserve it before it is too

WOODLAND, Nov. 15.-William Wohl-
from, the slayer of Mat Faigle, broke
jail yesterday morning by saving the
bolts that secured the rear door to the
corridor of the jail. Wohifrom was with
Dan Bemmerly at the time OF the killing
of Faigle, and was sentenced to seven

conviction of Bemmerly, Wohlfrom
seems to doubt the propriety of standing

has been offered, but up to this time no

OPIUM FACTORY.
Evidence That One Has Been In Full
Blast at MarYSYilIe.

MARYsvILLE, Nov. 15.-Friday night
Revenue Inspectors Thomas and Nelson
Of San Francisco, and Thayer OF this
district, after considerable skirmishing
and much effort, made an entrance
through an old and deserted Chinese the
ater building to an adjoining house and
there discovered four very large opium
ovens and every evidence of recent
preparation for the packing of cooked
opium. Over LOGO five-tael cans were
discovered on the floors. These had
been put in position and were ready to
receive the prepared substance. When
the officers reached the place there was
not the sign of a Chinaman, nor could
any dope be located. The building is
evidently constructed to avoid an inva-
sion, and is certainly thoroughly equip
ped for cooking the contraband article.
The furnace showed recent use and
strainers had also been used. From the
quantity of labels and packages about
Deputy Thayer gave it as his opinion
that not less than $4,000 worth of the
drug had been put up in the place very
recently. He says that owing to the
present vigilance in San Francisco and
other cities, Marysville is made the dis
tributing point for much unbranded and
illegal stock. Thirty cans of unstamped
opium We're found in two stores. These
were confiscated, but no arrests were
made.

The Police Force Condemned for Fri
day Nights Raid.
CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-"Red" was the sub
ject discussed by vehement, excited
gathering of socialists at Waverlv Hall
this afternoon. The discussion contained
scathing, outspoken denunciation of
the Chicago police force in general, and
inspectors Hubbard and Lewis particu-
larly. The red in the American flag was
discussed, and declared the token of uni
versal brotherhood. AS q cherished color
of anarchists, it was praised in the ex-
treme, and the recent outbreak of the po-
lice against the color was characterized as
a burlesque upon justice.
Resolutions ridiculing the Mayor and
Chief of Police were introduced by one
Mrs. Woodman. NJ. Zanetkin, an es-
capped nihilist from Siberia, delighted the
audience by asserting that the only diff
ference between Russia and the United
States was that in Russia reformers were
hung by the Gar, while here Inspector
Bonfield attended to the duties of execu-
toner.
At turbulent Trades and Labor as
sembly Mayor Washburne, Chief Nc
Claughry, Inspector Lewis and the Chi
cagO police were condemned in unmeas-
ured terms. Several speakers declared
that the raid made by the police was the
first move by those in power against
organized labor to destroy and break it
up.
A petition was introduced to be pre-
sented to the City Council tomorrow
night, asking that body to condemn the
intrusion OF the police made on Friday.
The Citizens Alliance passed resolu-
tons demanding that the Mayor investi-
gate Friday nights raid.

He Has Only Taken the Part of the
People Against Their Oppressors.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-Right Rev.
OBrien, one of the Papal Chamberlains,
has arrived here from Rome, whence he
comes as Papal representative to attend
the jubilee Of Archbishop Kenrick. Con-
cerning the Pope's recent en1yclical let
ter, O'Brien said: 1.-THE Pope has done
nothing more than enforce the principle
contained in the commandment. Thou
shalt not steal Private property in the
land has existed from all time. TO deny
the assertion that the Pope had no right
to enforce that principle would be to
deny the actual fact Of It's existence. The
church has only taken the part of the
people against their oppressors. The
world looks upon the Pope's position as
untenable. He will not leave Rome un-
less compelled to. AS to whether he can
be compelled to or not, is a matter which
cnly the future can reveal. The Jews
and Free MasOns are the backbone Of the
revolution, and it is by them that the
present rulers have been pitchforked into
power"

they are in safe hands, and there is no
danger of any person becoming mem
Der and causing any change in the sys-
tenn. The affairs are entirely in the hands
of a Board of Elders, and no one person
