SAN DIEGO, Dec. 18.-A peculiar and
fatal shooting accident occurred on the
bay this evening. w. P. Francis, a
well known engineer in the employ OF
the Pacific Coast Steamship company,
was hunting ducks down the bay. He
had constructed "battery" in which to
conceal himself to await the ducks.
Two boys were rowing in the vicinity.
One happened to see portion of Fran
cis's body, which from the position
of the boat, the boy thought was peli-
can. He pulled revolver from his
pocket and fired at it. Just as the re-
volver was discharged, Francis straight
ened up, and received the bullet in his
breast. Thinking it was an attack on
him, he tried to raise his gun to fire
back. He had not the strength, how
ever, and though he did fire, the shot
fell far short of the boys. Francis had
received a mortal wound, as he fell for
ward and died Immediately after he
discharged his gun.

NEWS FROM THE sOUDAN.
Forty Europeans Held In Captivity by
the Cruel Mahdtsts.

CAIRo, Dec. 18.-More news of the
Austrian missionaries, whose arrival at
Llorasko, near Wadey- Halfa, after
escaping from the hands of the Mahdists
has been received. In an interview at
Korosko, Father Ohrwalder states that
forty Europeans are still held in captiv-
ity in Omdurman. These captives, he
says, are loaded with manacles, are
often cruelty beaten, and are SO strictly
guarded that they have lost all hope of
ever being able to effect their escape.
The priest says food in the Soudan snow
cheap. He declares, however, that the
people are tired of strife and desire the
Egyptian government of the country re-
stored. He AYERS that the Dervishes are
losing their ascendancy. He says they
have big camp at Fashoda, and their
position there is strengthened by the
possession of steamer, but they dare
not venture far from the Nile for fear of
being attacked by hitherto friendly
tribes. Slatin Bey is still alive and be-
longs to the bodyguard of the Mahdi's
successor, but is closely watched.

SEVEN Walls OF WRATH.
Ex-PREMIER MERCIER OF QUEBEC
is MAD.
He Publishes Tirade Against Lieuten-
ant Governor Anglers for Dismissing
the Cabinet-Premier Abbott of Canada
Included in the General vituperation.

QUEBEC, Dec. 1S.-A monster mass
meeting is being organized by the Lib
erals throughout the province. The
police are in readiness to march to the
official residence of the lieutenant gov
ernor to protect it against any hostile
demonstration that may be made.
The citizens of Stroche and
st. Saveur, especially, are boil
ing with indignation. Mercier has
made public his views on the political
situation, and published the correspon-
dence between himself and the lieuten-
ant governor, and the interim report of
the royal commission. This report re-
grets that certain correspondence was
not produced, and concludes that
it is not proven that Mercier
knew of the existence of a bargain
between Armstrong and Pacaud, and
that gentleman denies that he was bene-
flied in any way thereby. 1t is signed
only by Judges Baby and Davidson.
Mercies, in his final reply to the
acknowledgements, tells the latter that
he has the audacity to do what the
queen would never dare to
do in England without provok-
ing a revolution. "All good citizens"
says he "must admit that there is a
limit to tyranny, and a man, though
he may have been prime minister, is
not q slave"
Mercier characterizes the report as
that OF 1.-TWO partisans from whom you
have dragged an unjust and unfounded
opinion altogether informal and without
legal value; containing gratuitous in
suits to your ex-ministers, supported by
a great majority of the legislature"
Mercier charges the lieutenant
governor with personal and autocratic
government; with having carried out
one of the most odious conspiracies ever
entered into against the constitu-
tional liberties OF free people.
He taunts the governor with desire to
place power in the hands of his political
friends, against all the rules OF decency,
and with trampling under foot the dig
nifty of the crown. The governors con-
duct, he says, puts political institutions
Pacific scandal, and charges the governor
with supporting the then guilty minis
ters.
To-day" says he, "you obey the will
OF the federal prime minister, Abbott,
who was himself a distributor of this
bribery money to the ministers. l will
try to undo your nefsrious work with
the assistance of my colleagues and po-
litical friends"
In closing, Mercier says: "You will
shortly receive from Abbott, your mas
ter, the price of your national treach-
cry, and / shall go before the people and
receive new mandate which will en-
able me to resume the position from
which you have driven me, ana to
chase you surely from Spenserword.

WASHINGTON VIKINGS.
A BOLIvIAN-C CHILE TREATY FAILS
OF RATIFICATION.
Completion of Reciprocity Arrangements
Between Germany and the United
States Assured-Italy Has Not Yet
Named a Successor to Minister Fava.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The bureau of
American republics is informed that the
congress OF Bolivia, by majority OF one
vote, rejected the treaty made with the
new government of Chile. In this
Bolivia granted Chile exclusive and
perpetual right of sovereignty over the
province of Cobija, which hau been in
the possession OF Chile since the war
with Bolivia and Peru in 1881. In con-
sideration, Chile ceded to Bolivia GER
tain commercial rights, and also agreed
to pay Bolivia s4,0OO,000 for the benefit
of subjects who suffered damages dur
ing the war OF 1881. 1t is understood
that the treaty will be referred back for
modification.
GERMAN RECIPROCITY TREATY.
The ratification by the reichstag today
of the commercial treaty between Ger
many and Hungary insures the
completion of the reciprocity arrange
ments between the United States and
Germany, so far as the latter country is
concerned, but its effectiveness still de-
pends upon the action of the Austro-
Hungarian reichsrath, as our agreement
is contingent on the ratification of the
German-Austrian treaty by each OF
those governments.
ITALY MUST TAKE THE INITIATIVE.
Assistant Secretary OF State Wharton
says he is not advised as to the inten-
tion of the Italian government to re-
sumo active diplomatic relations with
the United States by appointing min
lister to succeed Fava, recalled. 1t is
learned that when Italy takes the initia-
tive, the leave OF absence granted Porter,
United States minister to Italy, will ex-
pire, and he will resume his post at
Rome from which he has been absent
since the recall of Fava.
REWARD OF MERIT.
The French Institute has granted the
Cuvier prize of $500 to the United States
Geological survey for tho excellence of
it's work.
A CANDIDATE FOR QUAY's SEAT.
Representative Dalzell of Pennsylva-
MIA has announced himself candidate
for the United States senatorship. In
talk today he spoke of sentiment in
Pennsylvania as against the reelection
of Quay, and said he himself would be
highly honored to get the place.

A Farmer Takes a Dose of Laudanum
Then browns Himself.
STOCKTON, Dec. 1S.-Charles With
erby, farmer aged 80 years, living ON
his mothers ranch, near Linden, this
county, took a dose of laudanum last
night, and then drowned himself in
water trough at the ranch. Witherby
had been respondent for some time, and
did not care to talk to any one. He
complained of feeling ill and had de-
termined to go to Santa Cruz today
where his father and mother have re-
sided for several years. The physicians
who made the autopsy found that the
laudanum did not have time to operate
before death was caused by drowning.
He had swallowed it, and then jumped
into the trough, where he lay with his
head under the water.

Reports of the Market Are Unusually
Conflicting.
New YORK, Dec. l8.-Reports of the
market for California raisins are un-
usually conflicting. AT this point sales
of good sized black two-crown quality,
in bags, at 354c are noted, while other
parcels wenS at 3?8@4c. In Philadel-
phia, 4(043ac was obtained at auction
for that grade of fruit, and 1906 for
three-crown. 1t seems to be the i'm
preston among those in the trade who
have watched inside movements very
closely of late, that liquidations account
able for the very low prices that have
been made in exceptional instances, and
weak holdings are gradually getting into
the hands OF merchants who are in posi-
ton to tide over the unusually dull
period, and who will quietly wait for
matters to regain the natural form.
