SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-An opinion
was rendered by the Supreme Court to-
day affirming the judgment and order
of the Superior Court Of Napa County in
refusing new trial to Margaret Merkle,
charged with the murder of Joseph Won
Wyl, convicted of manslaughter and SEN
fenced to five years. Imprisonment in the
State Prison.
The ground for the appeal was the denial
by the Napa court of the motion for
new trial on the grounds of newly dis
covered evidence which appellant was
not able to produce upon her trial. This
new evidence was an affidavit made by
the husband of Mrs. Merkle TO the effect
that he, and not the appellant, had killed
Won Wyl.
1t is set forth that this testimony was
not used by defendant upon her trial be-
cause she knew herself to be innocent,
and further, that her husband would not
consent to 1t being used.
In affirming the decision refusing
new trial, the Supreme Court holds that
the lower court was not bound to accept
the husbands affidavit as true, and that it
had to consider the whole evidence,
which included the testimony of Han
cock, the main witness for the prosecu-
ton, who swore that he saw Mrs Merkle
strike at the deceased with knife.

LONDON, May 16.-Thomas 3. Reed,
eX-Speaker the United States House of
Representatives talking to a correspond
ent of the Associated Press in Italy con-
cerning the Mckinley bill, said, in part :
1T will stimulate our foreign commerce
by large number of articles on which
the duties have been reduced, or which
have been added to the free list. It will
stimulate our domestic industries by rea-
son of the reduction in the duties on raw
material and increased duties on very
few articles of necessity, but which we
have hitherto been unable to manufacture
profitably.
1T was extremely unfortunate that the
bill went into effect at time, or was fol-
lowed soon by most severe financial
panic, when the failure of Barring Bros
seemed to shake the foundations of the
strongest houses, when general insolv-
ency seemed to stare the whole CONNER
cial world in the face.
Going into effect under such circum-
stances, it was not difficult matter to
convince thousands of voters that the
financial difficulties We're due solely to
the inherent defects Of the measure. Why,
look at the case of Austria, whose mer-
ClldillS complain so loudly OF the rum that
the Mckinley bill wrought to their trade.
They complained that their industries
were affected to such an extent by the
measure that the Austrian Government
was forced to seek to draw other nations
into measure of reprisal against the
United States. Notwithstanding those
complaints, the exports for the first three
months under the operation of the bill
were increased 60 per cent. over the CORE
spending quarter of 1890. The Italian
merchants and press re-echoed the wall
ings of the balance of the European press,
until they discovered that had the bill
been specially devised for the purpose it
would not have been better adapted to in
crease the trade with the United States,
for by its provisions 50 per cent. of the
purchases from here are on the free list.
"a per cent. are admitted at q reduced rate
of duty, u per cent. at the same rate.
while the duty was advanced on but per
cent.
"The commercial alliance of the CEN
tral states of Europe, which certain pow
ers are endeavoring to bring about, is
evidence that the commercial nations are
not slow TO take every possible precaution
to protect and stimulate their trade, and
that is exactly the policy on which the
Mckinley bill is founded. / am very
confident that the next few years will be
years of great prosperity to the United
States, and that they will prove to be
favorable both to our domestic manu-
tacturerS and TO our foreign commerce. -

THE NORTHWESTERN LOCKOUT.
a Decision Rendered in Favor of the
Railroad Company.

"A OeclS1On ISenuereu In FaVOr of the
Railroad Company.
CHICAGO, May 16.-The Supreme Coun-
Gil of Federated Railway Employees de-
cided against the Chicago and North
westean switchmen this evening. The
Council recommended the switchmen's
officers to call upon the railway officials
with a view to the Reinstatement OF
as many of their old hands as places
could be provided for.
The proceedings of the Council were
prolonged and stormy. At the close of
the session, which lasted nearly eleven
hours, Sargent said the representa-
tives of the switchmen and their op-
ponents, the trainnen. had each been
given hearing, and the course of the
former in demanding the discharge of
yardmaster Mc1nerny was declared un-
justitiable.
From others it was learned that all of
the town switchnen would probably be
reinstated upon application, and the
same was true of many of the Chicago
switchmen.
The switchmen appeared tonight to be
somewhat embittered toward the firemen,
neither Sargent nor Debs having voted on
any question before the council, ostensi-
bly, because the Order OF Trainmen had
no quorum present, but really, it is
asserted, for desire not to be upon
record.
The question of sustaining the action of
the railroad was settled by vote of to
favoring the company. A resolution in
troduced by the switchmen was adopted
by the same vote, requiring the train
mems officers to request the company to
remove the trainmen who have been
given the switchmen's places, and that
the switchmen be reinStated.
The traiumeO hOyaVar UOta6 orojDSt
the resolution, and the Secretary of the
Superior Council, who is one of the train
men. refused to sign it, and Wilkinson,
chief of the trainmen, refused point blank
to act upon it. The outcome of the action
of the council, therefore, is far from
settled.
Yardmaster Brooks, whose name fig
ured in the interviews which brought out
the strike, and who is member of the
Trainmen's Brotherhood, was discharged
from the Northwestern Railway service
to-day with the switchmen.

AT THE GERMAN CAPITAL.
NEW PHASE OF THE GERMAN
TREATY WITH SPAIN.
The Latter's Reciprocity Treaty With
the United States Stands in the
Way of It's Consummation.

Copyright, 1891, by n. Y. Associated Press
BERLIN, May 16.-The negotiations for
the Germau-Austrian commercial treaty
with Spain have become curiously in
volved with the reciprocity convention
proposed by the United States. The
German Embassador at Madrid sent q
dispatch to the effect that the Spanish
Minister of Foreign Affairs received
the overtures for treaty with Ger
many favorably, and told the German
Embassador that the Cabinet meant to
renew the treaties generally on the prin-
ciple Of reciprocity as far as was compati-
bic with the protection policy. Since
this, however, the concession to the
United States has become known. This
renders difficult any treaty with Euro
pean powers.
Spain has agreed to give American i'm
ports into Cuba and Porto Rico differ
ential rate of % per cent against similar
imports from all other countries, whether
or not they conclude treaties with Spain
Such privilege, constituting practical
customs union between the United States
and the Spanish Antilles, blocks further
negotiations which the German Embassa-
dor had undertaken simultaneously with
the Austrian, Italian and Belgium Minis
ters.
Spain has been invited to send dele
gate to the Customs Conference at
Vienna, where the difficulty might
be discussed. The German traffic with
the Antilles is Of no great importance,
but the formation Of treaty recog-
nlzlng exclusive American privileges is
hardly possible. The Madrid Govern
ment finds that every country of Europe
takes q similar view of matters.
The resignation of Herr Maybach,
Prussian Minister Of Public Works, re-
moves from tho public stage the last
Minister Of tho old Emperor, except
Boetticher. The latter is now on the eve
OF departing. 1t is reported that he will
become the President of the province of
Schlesswig- Holstein, Herr Won Benning-
ser succeeding to the home office, and
Herr Miguel, Imperial Minister of
Finance, becoming President of
the PrusSian Council. The impending
changes will add power to the National
Liberals in the Ministry
The press is discussing a pamphlet,
supposed to have been inspired by Bis
marck, asSailing the Emperor's tenden-
cies toward the resolution. The paper
argues that the Ministers alone ought to
be responsible, and that he ought to spe-
cially avoid rhetorical declarations as in
the proportion that his fallibility becomes
obvious, will respect for him suffer.
A chapter on 1.-THE Kaiser and his own
Minister" blames Chancellor Won Caprioi
for not using his influence to prevent the
Emperor's injudicious public utteranccs,
compares Germany to a rudderless ship,
and accuses the Emperor of confiding
private advices behind the back of his
Ministers.
The misery of the defeated strikers at
Westphalia is extreme. Over 10000 who
have applied for work in the Bochua
district have been refused employment,
and are threatened with expulsion from
their homes.

MUsKEGoN (Mich.), May 16.-Twenty-
two squares of business buildings and
dwellings were swept away tonight by
the most disastrous fire Muskegon has
ever seen.
The fire started at 2:30 O'Clock in the
Launkowel Hotel barns, Just off Pine
street, and aided by strong wind, swept
with hghtning-like rapidity ten blocks
up Pine street, one of the chief business
streets of the city. Then by sudden
shift of the wind the flames We're driven
toward Terrave avenue, one of the finest
residence streets in the city, where they
swept unchecked until the southern por-
ton of the city was reached, where the
buildings We're not so close together.
There the firemen, aided by engines and
men from Grand Rapids, succeeded in
getting the flames under control, although
at a late hour some buildings were still
burning fiercely.
Twenty-Five blocks are devastated. The
Pine-street business houses for ten blocks
are entirely wiped out. Among the more
valuable blocks are the West Hine-Street
House, Philabourn Block, Eckerman's
drug store, Matthew Wilson'S residence,
Sedgwick's wholesale house, McMichePs
shoe store and the Launkowell Hotel.
Not less than three hundred and fifty
residences, including some of the finest
in the city, are in ashes. The $100, 900
courthouse was gutted, but the public
documents were saved. The prisoners in
the county Jail, which occupied the base
ment OF the courthouse, were liberated
Several COWS and horses were burned
and little child sleeping in the Launko-
well Hotel, where the fire started, is
missing.
\ conservative estimate of the total
losses is over half million dollars. Hun
dredS Of families who were rendered
homeless are being cared for by the peo-
pie in the portion of the city which es-
capped the visitation.
The scene on the streets tonight is ter
rlbIe. Homeless people are running
frantically about making endeavors to
save some little portion ct their most val
liable effects which have been dragged
from their houses, but in most cases the
spread Of the flames was so rapid that, as
in the case Of the great Chicago fire, little
or nothing could be carried away.
Above the cries of women and children,
and the shouting of men, could be heard
an explosion of dynamite used by the
tiremen to blow up the buildings, in hope
of staying the progress of the flames; and
again the heavy concession as the boiler
in some business building would explode,
scattering the debris in all directions.
The firemen labored under difficulties
from the start, the gale which was blow
ing scattering huge blazing brands far
beyond where the men were working,
and causing new fires to spring up con-
stantly.
Among the sad incidents was the death
of Harry Stevens, son of Postmaster
Stevens. He was i'll with pneumonia,
and when the flames approached the
house he had to be moved. The shock
was too great, and he died while being
removed to place Of safety.

SHIPMENT OF LIVE CATTLE.

Commission.

Recommendation of q Governments
Commission.
LONDON, May 16.-The commission ap-
pointed by the Government to INQUIRE
into the treatment of live cattle on the
Atlantic cattle-ships is about to issue its
report, which contains recommendations
of the utmost Importance to those en-
gagged in the trade. The commission re-
commend that cattle should not be car
lied on the bridge deck, the poop or the
upper deck, but under temporary shelter.
which should be Of such character as To
form the part OF permanent structure of
the snip. The cattle should not be car
ried OIL a tower or between decks. unless
adequate means for artificial ventilation
are provided. The cattle should not be
carried Oh the hatchways or on anv part
of the deck where they impede the navi-
CATION of the ship, or interfere with the
lowering OF the boats. The fittings
should lie so constructed as TO be able to
resist the strain of severe weather that
the losses and suffering which have been
described as being due to the destruction
OF htungs are preventable, and that
where the fittings are inadequate the YES
sci should be considered unfit for trade.
The report also gives implied approval
OF the United States regulations for the
inspection and shipment of cattle. The
report recommends, where ample ventila-
ton for cattle is impossible, that vessels
IN such condition should be considered
unfit for transportation Of cattle across
the ocean. Touching the number of men
to be employed in tending load of cattle
across the Atlantic, the committee is of
tho opinion that foreman required not
less than four competent assistants for
each hundred head of cattle. The fore
man and his assistants should be re-
quired 70 sign articles and the men would
thus be placed under the authority of the
Captain OF the vessel having cattle ON
board
