The force OF employees in the engineers

some one else to perform certain work
which was clearly his duty to perform,

work out OF his own salary, and am in

HOW J. F. SWIFT DIED.
DEATH STRUCK HIM DOWN WITH
OUT WARNING.
He Expired in the Night While Convers-
ing with His wife-Heart Failure the
Cause--Honors Paid the Dead.

SAN Francisco, April 6.-Particulars
OF the death of John f. Swift, United
States minister to Japan, arrived here
today on the steamer Rio de Janeiro.
Mr.. Swift had been prostrated by an
attack of influenza, early in the year,
but was supposed to have entirely re-
covered. On March 10th he complained
of pain in the region of the heart, and
went to bed. That night, while talking
to Mrs. Swift, he suddenly expired
without further warning. His death is
attributed to heart failure.
His body was taken to Yokohama,
where it was received with great honors.
AS the funeral procession reached Yoko-
hama, minute guns were fred from the
United States ship Alliance. The fu-
neral arrangements were made by the
American colony, and were participated
in by japanese officials, the foreign
diplomatic corps, the American legation
and Admiral Belknap and staff.
Funeral services were held in the
American Episcopal church, at Toxic,
March 18th. The coffin was draped with
the United States flags, and covered
with flowers, some Of which were sent
from the imperial household. The SER
vices were conducted by Bishops
Williams and Bickersteth. The remains
were escorted to the train by the foreign
and Japanese ministers, naval and mill
tary officers, and large detachment of
troops.
AT Yokohama sailors from the United
States, British, Italian and Japanese
men-of-war acted as an escort. Bishop
Williams conducted the services at the
cemetery. A wreath sent by the en-
peror, was buried in the grave. The
remains are only temporarily inferred at
Yokohama, and will be conveyed to
California,

President Harrison's Coming I rip-Proc-
tors Change of Mind.
SAN Francisco, April 6.-Mayor San
derson this morning sent out an invita-
tion to number of prominent citizens
to meet at the rooms of the chamber of
commerce on Wednesday eve, and
take action relative to giving President
Harrison a proper reception on his visit
to the coast.
Secretary of War Proctor, accompan-
led by the military party who came
here with him, re-enforced by Adjutant-
General Greene and Lieutenant
Caball, of General Gibbons staff,
today made tour of inspection
of the various Notifications and sites of
the proposed Notifications, which were
pointed out by Colonel Mendell, chief OF
the United States engineering corps on
the Pacific coast.
kilograms were sent this forenoon to
various northern points, giving notice
to military officers and others, that it
had been found necessary for Secretary
Proctor to change his plans, and con-
veying, also, the information that the
secretary would start eastward tonight.
1t is thought that the decision of Presi
dent Harrison to start soon on his south
ern and western trip, and the desire of
the secretary to consult him, has some
tLing to do with the matter.

News Notes About Trotters, Bang
tails and Jockeys.
The prospects for big entries for the
California fairs of 1891 are not very en-
couraging. The Trotting Horse Breed
ers' association, the leading organiza-
ton of this coast, have just canvassed
their entries for the summer meeting.
Notwithstanding that the association
offered twice as much money as ever
before, several of the principal classes
failed to fill, and not one could be said
to have filled reasonably well, consider
ing the big money offered. Not single
entry was made for the free-for-all trot
for $2500. Rupee and Princess Alice
were the only entries in the free-for-all
pacing. The 2:18 class, for $4,000, was
declared not filled, although five entries
were made. The 2 80 pacing class was
also declared off. Several OF the slower
classes filled.

Associated Press Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, April 8. 6.-Accompanied
by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the Canadian
cabinet officers called upon Secretary
Blaine at his house just before noon to-
day. Their stay was but few moments,
and returning to their hotel they an
nounced that they were about to leave
Washington. President Harrison has
signified his desire to be present at the
conference, and as his coming trip west
would interfere, it was thought best to
postpone the negotiations until such
time as the president could give the
matter his attention. Messrs. Foster
and Thompson left Washington this af-
ternoon for Ottawa, and Upper will go
to London. He says Sir Julian will no.
tify the party when to return to WASH
ington, which will be as soon as the
president can conveniently give his at
tention to the negotiations.
SECRETARY PRocToR's PLANS.
No one at the war department knows
of any telegram having been sent to
Secretary Proctor requesting his return.
The secretary telegraphed last Friday
that he would leave San Francisco for
Washington. Monday. He carried out
the principal part of his programme in
visiting the military posts of the south
and Pacific coast, and he desired to cur
tail his trip probably because he wishes
to see the president before the latter
leaves Washington on his western tour.
THE SAN FRANCISCO AND CHARLESTON.
A dispatch from Denver last night
stated that orders had been received by
Admiral Brown, at San Francisco,
directing the cruiser San Francisco to
sail Wednesday for Chile, and the
cruiser Charleston to return to Homo
lulu at once to guard American inter-
ests. Secretary Tracy said, when shown
the dispatch, that it was entirely erro-
neous; no such orders have been given.
1t is stated at the navy department
that the cruiser Charleston will not be
ready for sea for at least ten days OF a
fortnight. The navy department has
not yet decided where to send the
Charleston, but will select her destina-
ton when she is ready for sea, accord
to the necessities of the hour.

Beach.
A telephone message was yesterday
afternoon received at the coroner's
Office, stating that the body of man
had been found on the beach about five
miles below the town of Long Beach,
and asking that the coroner come down
and hold an inquest. No particulars
could be learned, as the body had not
been identified. Coroner Weldon
was absent from the city at
the time, being at Cahuenga
holding an investigation in the case of
woman who died from natural causes
without an attending physician. He
returned late in the afternoon, however,
and at once left for Long Beach. He
will visit the scene of the discovery and
hold an inquest, probably returning to
this city today. Later telephone mes
sage brought the information that the
man was Jacob Briff, an Odd Fellow, and
who will be buried by members of that
order at Long Beach, today.

Fire.
ROCHESTER,, Pa, April GA fire broke
out about midnight in large frame
building occupied as a dwelling and
stores. The fire started in the kitchen
of Mr.. Keene's residence, and he and
his son Walter were suffocated by the

ing rooms in the upper portion of the

BURBANK BURGLARS.
They Make a Rich Haul by Means of
Chloroform.

A remarkably daring robbery occurred
at Burbank on last Tuesday. Mr.. S. w.
White and his son conduct saloon at
that place, and sleep in room adjoin-
ing the barroom. On the night in
question Mr.. White remembers hear
ing the sound of footsteps in his room,
but can recall nothing which occurred
during the night. On awakening in the
morning he and his son discovered that
the place had been robbed, and that
they had been chloroformed.
Itwas discovered that the burglars had
made an entrance by forcing open a
window. That they had chloroformed
the two Whites was evident; they had
then rifled the pockets of the clothes
they found, taking quite a sum of
money besides 800 cigars, ten gallons of
whisky and quantity of wine.

A Parson Indicted for I.fbeling Preach
ers of the Same Faith.
DALLAS, Tex, April 6.-The grand
Jury has returned two indictments for
criminal libel against Rev. Robert T.
Hanks, noted Baptist divine, and ed
itor of the Western Baptist. He is
charged with libeling Rev. E. B. Hardy,
L. r. Scroggs, s. r. Grant and
A. M. johnson, all prominent
preachers of the same faith. The
offense consists in having charged in
his paper that the divines were paid
scandal mongers of the Texas Baptist
and Herald, and notorious liars. The
indictments are the outcome of bitter
newspaper war between the Western
Baptist and Texas Baptist and Herald.
The accused parson declares that he
will prove that the allegations made are
true when the case goes to trial. The
legal contest bids fair to become most
sensational one.
