MORE PUGILIsrIC TALK.
John L. Has Little to Say About
Mitchell.

John L. Has Little to Say About
Mitchell.
MINNEAPOLIS, March Son receipt OF
Mitchell's ultimatum tonight an Asso-
ciated Press representative hunted up
John L. Sullivan. After reading over
Mitchell's talk Sullivan reiterated his
statement that he would fight Mitchell
any time between the 18th of August
and 7th of September. He could
not extend the time beyond the
latter date because of his next theatrical
engagement, which begins on the 18th
of September. This gives Mitchell six
months to train and allows
him only three months from the
termination of the season. As
regards the Olympic club articles re-
ferred to by Mitchell. Sullivan says he
hasn't seen them, knows nothing about
them. had authorized nothing beyond
his challenge, and wants to know why
Mitchell is so cOnversant with them.
Sullivan says he does not propose to
sign articles he knows nothing about, or
jeopardize the championship title
through any fake. He wants Queens
berry rules so as to prevent any
foot racing. AS regards Mitchell's
assertions that he stood Sullivan off
twice, John says it is deliberate false
hood, as is also Charley's statement
that the champion outweighs him forty
pounds. "Poor little 20l-pound baby"
said John; ''it's wonder to me he is
permitted to 60 out without nurse.
Charley's stock seems to be limited to
billingsgate and bluff, and leave the
public to Judge, and defy any man to
say ever faxed or showed the white
feather"

Special to the HERALD
FULLERTON, March 1.-THE town was
thrown into excitement this evening at
6:45 by serious shooting scrape.
Abraham Deyer recently arrived here
from Redlands and opened butcher
shop. He visited Roman Wisser's
saloon this afternoon and got into q
quarrel with Wiser that lasted some
time. At last the latter got tired of the
trouble and picked Deyer up bodily and
threw him out into the street.
Deyer picked himself up and imme-
diately drew revolver and fred at
Wiser, the ball passing through his
right shoulder and lodging under his
left shoulder blade. The injury ie very
serious. but the doctors say is not neces-
sarily fatal.
Deyer was at once arrested and taken
to Anaheim, where he was jailed.
This afternoon while some children
were playing about barn belonging to
Joseph Lac, they started a fire which
destroyed the barn, a corn crib and the
contents OF both buildings. Lac's resi-
dence was saved by scholars from the
neighboring school, who formed bucket
brigade and successfully fought the
flames,

FOSTER AND GosCHEN.
Two Interviews Concerning the Holding
OF Currency Conference.

Two Interviews Concerning the Holding
OF Currency Conference.
LONDON, March 7.-Hon. Charles Fos-
ter, secretary of the United States treas
ury, and the Right Hon. G. J. Goschen,
chancellor of the exchequer, have had
two interviews, but nothing has been
settled concerning the'holding of cur
rency conference. The matter depends
entirely upon the coming negotiations.
Foster will start for Southampton to-
morrow, where he will proceed on
short visit to the Isle of Wight before
sailing Wednesday on his return to the
United States. He made rapid tour
around London, visiting the docks, the
Tower of London and the national gal
lery. He also visited the Seven Dials
district. The health of the secretary
shows marked improvement.
Secretary Foster, in an interview to-
day, said it was impossible to disclose
the nature of his conversations with
Goschen. Perhaps they referred to the
currency conference, but the matter was
not discussed at any length. He said,
if satisfactory basis were obtained, he
would not hesitate to confer.
Speaking of the weakness of the BIZ
metallic section in Germany, and the
Austro- Hungarian project to return to
gold, the secretary said: 1--WE are per.
fectly aware of these difficulties, but l
have been surprised to find 60 much in
terest taken in bimetallism in England
and the extent to which public opinion
IL growing in favor of double stand
ard"
Foster said if Tellers' senate resolu-
ton carried it would be the duty of the
president to call conference; but he
could not yet say whether there is
reasonable assurance that the call will
be responded to.
Some of the English papers have re-
produced the substance OF an interview
with Foster, cabled to New York last
week, and in which the expression,
"clam mouthed," as applied to Irish
immigrants created much discussion.
Mr.. Foster reiterated the statement that
the expression was not his. He used,
said he, the familiar phrase, "fannel-
mouthed" to denote the raw immi-
grants whose children become assimi-
lated with good American type.

CRAZED BY GRIEF.
A Deserted Husband Kills His Wife and
~%,sThen Suicides.

~%'sThen Suicides.
WALLA WALLA, WASH, March ~
At 6 80 this morning, Theodore Hertz
shot and instantly killed his wife and
then killed himself. Mrs. Hertz left
her husband about two weeks ago, and
went to live with her sister, Mrs. Kel-
len. Early this morning Hertz called
his wife to the door and Immediately
shot her. The wound was mortal, but
Mrs. Hertz held her footing, and was
showed by her husband through the
backyard and into an alley, he shooting
at her once on the way. About ten feet
from the house she fell on her
face, when Hertz fired a bullet
into her back. Then he raised the pis-
tol and shot himself in the right jaw,
breaking the bone. Clapping his hand
to the wound to prevent bleeding,
Hertz ran through the yard and across
the common half mile, when he shot
himself through the breast, dying inside
of half an hour. Mrs. Hertz only lived
a few minutes after falling.
Hertz and wife were married about
four months ago in Belgium. They ap-
parently had been contented and happy
until letter was received few weeks
ago which reported that Hertz had
wife and seven children in Wisconsin.
On hearing this Mrs. Hertz left him
and said she would not live with him
again until he disproved this report.
Hertz was hard working man, owned
a home and had several thousand dol
lars. He had always been looked upon
as a peaceable but eccentric person. 1t
is thought he was crazed by grief.

A Chicago Pool Room Raided and $50
Seculators Arrested.
CHICAGO March lone of the most
extensive raids organized by the Chicago
police department. in years was made
this afternoon when Chief of Detectives
Shea and twenty-five officers surrounded
the premises at 267 and 269 Clark street
and placed 250 men under arrest. The
establishment was full-fedged pool
room, run by Frank Shaw of St. Paul,
Sid McHie and other alleged members
of the Chicago gamblers trust. Books
were being made on the Gloucester and
Guttenburg races, and rushing bust
ness was in progress. The scheme
worked was that bettor ostensibly sent
dispatch through the Mercantile
Telegraph company to St. Paul, where
the bet was supposed to be consummated.
This alleged interstate arrangement, the
proprietors professed to believe, left no
room for prosecution under the Hi
nois anti-pool-selling law. The police
evidently thought differently and the
speculators were hauled in patrol wagons
to the armory where they were bailed
out by Proprietor McHie.

UNION LAROR DOWNED.
SAN FRANCISCO SHOE MANUFAC-
TURERS SCORE A VICTORY.
Their Employees Return to Work as Nom
Union Men-The Same Terms to Be
Exacted from Brewery Employees.
Federated Trades Proposals Rejected.

SAN Francisco, March 1.-THE notice
posted in all the shoe factories on Sat
urday, to the effect that none but those
who are not connected with any trade
organization need report, went into
effect this morning. After the posting
of the notice speculation was rife
as to the possible serious con-
sequences that would result. Among
the majority of the, labor people
it was confidently expected that quite
number, at least. would refuse to sever
their allegiance to the union. The ex-
pectation was not verified, as every man,
30 far as could be learned,
accepted the new conditions and
reported for work at the different fac
tories, as usual. In all but two factor
les the men were questioned, and upon
their assurance that they were not con-
nected with the union, were allowed to
resume work at once.
Whether this action in yielding to the
demand of the employers is the result
of a preconcerted arrangement cannot of
course be known, as the proceedings of
the meeting held yesterday were kept
secret. At any rate the accept
ance of the new conditions
would seem to indicate that
the union has come to the conclusion
that it is policy, at least in the present
instance, to accede to the demands of
the employers. The latter are naturally
jubilant at the outcome of what prom
ised to be serious situation.
Tonight the brewery workmen will
have the same alternative presented to
them. They must either return to work
tomorrow as non-union men or seek
other employment.
The board of directors of the Employ
ers' association met this afternoon to
consider the Federated Trades proposal
to jointly discuss the labor troubles, and
decided to decline on the ground that
it's constitution left the settlement of
their respective disputes to its subor-
dinate bodies.

two miles south OF Gray,s llarbor bar,
che passed a schooner bottom side up.
Although she steamed around she could

and was registered at 152 tons. She

SAN Francisco, March 7.-The Post

have clear field this year in the base
ball business. There will not be any
opposition. Ex-Manager McC Closkey an
nounces that, owing to the failure of
Mr.. Crowley and other San Francisco
representatives of the proposed league
to find grounds in this city, the scheme
has collapsed. McCloskey asserts that
all details at Sacramento were perfected
and that he had selected team capa-
BILE of playing first-class ball and which
would have been gotten together at .

German Socialists Divided.

BERLIN, March 1.-THE recent riots in
Germany have had the effect of widen
ing the cleavage existing beteen the
Socialist factions. At meeting of 1000
members of the advanced wing in Ber-
lin today, the Moderates were de-
nounced for declaring the riots were due
to loafers. The speakers declared that
the plundering of shops was the work of
workingmen driven to desperation by
hunger. Fifteen Thousand Socialists at
tended the funeral of Herr Reiner, at
Hamburg, today. One hundred Socialist
flags were displayed and Frohme, So

stating that 800 supporters OF Delyannis,
the ex-prime minister, had been placed
under arrest, and that all the members
Of the Delyannis cabinet were being
closely watched, is emphatically denied
by the authorities here. As for the
stories printed abroad that the people
throughout the country are arming for
rebellion, and that altogether the situa-
tion is very alarming, are laughed at by
those best qualified to Judge of the state
OF affairs. No revolution is impending
and perfect quiet reigns.

A Motion to Hasten Their Completion
Lost In tho Commons.
LONDON, March THE question OF
defenses at Esquimault caused lengthy
debate in the commons today. Sir Stat
ford Northcote called the attention of
the house to the state of affairs of the
defenses there, and asked what steps
had been taken to secure the completion
of the works. The Canadian Pacific
railroad, he said, now offered an alterna-
tive route to the east, and would be of
immense service in the event of war.
He moved that the Notifications be has
tened to completion.
Admiral Field, member for South
Sussex, said the question of expenses
ought not to be thrown solely on the i'm.
perial government.
Messrs. Munro and Ferguson also re-
gretted that Canada was evading her
share of the imperial burdens of defense.
Secretary OF War Stanhope spoke of
the importance OF the Esquimault de.
lenses and regretted that the works had
not yet been completed. The imperial
government had promised to provide
guns, mining stores, skilled engineers
and plans, and Canada ought to provide
sites, construct the works on which the
guns were to be erected, and maintain
them. The imperial government was
sorry to say that although the
guns and trained garrison were
ready, the fort works were not
yet commenced. He had recently
telegrapbed the Canadian government
that the defenses should be carried out,
and he was quite sure Canada was also
determined to complete the works. Ur-
gency existed for executing the work,
and he assured the house that the spirit
of the action would be observed.
Northcote's motion was then defeated.
LONDON, March IA mistake by the
telegraph agency reporting Secretary
Stanhope's speech on the Esquimault
.defenses, created much alarm today. 1t
made him say urgency has arisen dur
ing the last few days." instead of ''in
the last few years." On the outside this
was connected with adverse rumors re-
garding the Bering sea question. Had
not the stock exchange been closed, the
error would have caused panic.

night a band of whitecaps visited the
