Incidents of the Trial Yesterday of Sier
Yuen


The Sier Yuen murder trial was on all
day yesterday in department one of the
superior court. Coroner Weldon, who
went to the house occupied by Wong
Fong Dick, the murdered man, in COM
pany with Sheriff Gibson, testified as to
how the body lay and the surroundings
of the place. The house was locked,
but no keys were found inside. The de-
fendant was present when they went in
the house.
Sheriff Gibson also testified to break
ing in the door with Ratchet and to
finding the body in the bed. A trunk,
which stood on a shelf above the
bed, was open and the. contents
disarranged. An old pair of overalls
were found on the floor. They were
stained with blood. No money was
found in the trunk or about the bed.
Witness said one side of the house bore
evidence of having been on fire.
The evidence in the case is all circum-
stantial, but the prosecution is weaving
a strong net about the defendant. The
case will be resumed this morning.

CHICAGO, Nov. GA post norton ex
animation on the body of Fanny Cart
wright, the actress, who met mysteri-
GUS death in the railroad yards, in this
city, today. utterly failed to show any
wounds except those inflicted by train.
Developments in the case tonight make
it more complicated. The police, APP
parently, have not abandoned the muir
der theory, and tonight placed under
arrest a young man named John Beat
tey. His name was furnished the police
by the dead woman's sister-in-law,
who asserted that Fanny spent
Tuesday night with her, and other
friends dropped in. After drinking beer
together until midnight. Fanny left and
Beattey accompanied her. The two were
considerably under the influence of
liquor when they left the house, and
whether they wandered down into the
railway yards, where she was run over
accidentally, and Beattey conceived the
foolish notion of denying knowledge of
it, or whether there can be possibly
dark crime beneath the whole affair, re-
mains for the officers to show. The gen.
eral appearance OF the case makes the
first proposition the more reasonable.

Wonderful Progress Made in the Manu-
facture of Cotton and Iron.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Hon. Patrick
Walsh, of Georgia, president of the Au-
gusta exposition, has written letter to
President Harrison in response to re-
quest for information regarding the in
dustrial progress of the south, in which
he says The south is developing
rapidly and her manufacturing posi-
bilities cannot be exaggerated. The
south's cotton mills used last year over
900, 900 of the 2, 100000 bales consumed
by the United States. In 1880 the
south, took only 10000 bales. Of 8 ,000,-
600 tons OF iron produced last year, the
south contributed 100000, or more
than the entire production of the union
in 1860. England fell behind our coun-
try last year nearly one-fourth the
amount of iron produced in Great
Britain. The figures given are approx
mately correct. The south's future for
the manufacture of cotton is assured.
Her production of iron aad manufac-
lures thereof, afford profitable field of

Flavin, tho McCarthyite, Carries the
Cork Election.

Cork Election.
Cork, November 6.-The election was
held today for the successor in parlia-
ment to the late Charles Stewart Par
nell, who represented Cork city in the
commons. The Parnellite candidate was
John e. Redmond, and Martin Flavin,
butter merchant of this city, was the
McCarthyite candidate. To influence
the priests with the McCarthyites, they
made se-to-housecanvas OF the
voters, following Immediately after the
Parnellite canvassers, and threatening
the electors with all sorts of horrible
things if they voted for Redmond or
failed to vote for Flavin. In order to avert
possible disorder, the polls this morn
ing were strongly guarded by police.
Voting was active, but everything was
quiet. Many priests were stationed
about the booths, mingling with the vot-
ers and giving them final instructions
and admonitions, or making final APP
peals before they entered the polling
booths.
In addition to the precautions taken
by the police authorities, the whole gar
rlson of Cork and the adjoining fortif-
cations was confined to the barracks,
and there held under arms.
AT the close OF the polling, Mr.. Flavin
was credited with victory. The count
ing of the ballots commences in the
morning. The polling was heavy.
1t was noticeable that in the many al
tercations between priests and Parnell-
ties, the women in most cases sided with
the priests. William O'Brien received
an ovation from the women, who pre-
sented him flowers, and even Invested
themselves of their shawls for him to
walk upon.
The supporters of Flavin claim ma
jority of 1900 for him, while the Par
nellites believe they carried the election
by one hundred majority.

PALMER FOR PRESIDENT.
A Great Boom for the Illinois Vet
ePau.s

A Great Boom for the Illinois Vet
Chicago Herald.
Gen Palmer, since his election, has
received in the neighborhood of 1.2OO
letters and telegrams. They came from
all over the country, and may be ac-
cepted as an expression of powerful
trend of political opinion, which will
certainly increase in strength as the
days roll by. In fully four-fifthS- OF
these letters Gen. Palmer's name is
connected with a nomination for
the presidency, and the friends
who are nearest the grand
old leader admit they believe Gen.
Palmer will be delegated to lead the
Democratic host to victory. SO sure are
they of this result that they predict that
the legislature that cOnveneS in Illinois
in January of 1892 will have an oppor-
tunity of selecting a successor to the
next president of the United States to
fill out the uneXpired term of Gen.
Palmer, and that, moreover, he will be
a Democrat also. This would present
the somewhat singular fact that six
legislatures in succession have balloted
for United States senators and the next
would have the duty of filling MIR. Cul-
lom'S seat.
The desirability of Gen. Palmer as a
presidential candidate can best be
gathered from the statement made to-
day by we'll known Democrat who has
been a prominent figure in the late SEN
atorial contest. Said he: with Gen.
Palmer as our candidate we can carry
Illinois. There is not the slightest
doubt of it. With Illinois Democratic.
Indiana is bound to be. This makes
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mime
sofa extremely doubtful states, with the
chances more than favorable to the
Democrats. With popular Eastern
Democrat for vice president, all hill
could not bring us defeat. The
Cleveland-Hill factiopal fight has
made New York extremely doubtful.
Palmer's present success has made
Illinois almost a certainty. and it would
be far better to drop New York and
gain the Western states than TO en-
danger defeat through party strife. 1t
was Gen. Palmer himself who predicted
months ago that Illinois had become the
dominant state in the politics of the
union, and circumstances show the
truth of his prediction"
This is not idle talk. The sentiment
is growing every day and with surpris-
ing unanimity the provincial press is
taking up the cry. Gen. Palmer is the
ideal man. His unpretentious and sim
pie ways endear him to the heart of the
working classes, and no man is so
poorly clad who is not given as hospit-
able a welcome as the man who has
been more fortunate in the daily walks
of life
