Notwithstanding that Mr.. Peck il Z
Democrat, Democratic Official, and
was an appointee Of Mr.. Cleveland him
self, these facts have dreadfully hurt
the feelings of tho Democratic party,
and more particularly of Mr.. Cleve-
lands managers. They frankly confess
that they do not want wages and pro-
duction to increase in the United States
under . Republican administrations
they won't hssen TO Mr.. Peck's figures.
They say the figures are falss-they ut
terly decline to believe them-they sim
ply won't have the facts rs Mr.. Peck r.
ports them. One would suppose that
every American party ought to Be pa
triotic enough to welcome the fact Of
increasing prosperity among the people,
but the Democracy thrives and grows
fat on calamities. 1t is happiest when
the people are overburdened with debit
when the statistics Of labor rs sta is

condition that calls forth fts fullest re-
joicings. Mr.. Clsveland's managers il

shall submit his statistics to the exam

traders, gentlemen who are always COIN
petent TO make figures mean anything
that suits their purpose. The announced
intention of this committee Is TO take

that the saddest calamity which can BE-
fall an American workingrnan Is 70 have

LOUISVILLE, May 24.-The night before
the battle gives every indication that to-
morrow's contest in the Bourbon State
Democratic Convention will add another
blossom to the great laurel wreath of
Cleveland's successes. Although there is
great division Of opinion, the preponder-
ance of sentiment seems to be favorable
to strong declaration for Cleveland,
which, however, can only be given in the
face of the most vehement opposition of
the supporters of Carlisle and Watterson.
Carlisle stands himself as a Presidential
candidate, and Watterson the leading ex-
ponent OF the principle that the Demo-
cratic party in 1892 must "shun New
York and save the party"
Congressman McCreary appears to be
the unanimous choice for permanent
Chairman of the convention. OF the four
delegates at large the selection of three is
practically settled. They are Henry
Watterson, J. A. Mckenzie and w. C..
Owens. For the fourth position a contest
is probable.
In a speech tonight in response to a
serenade, Watterson said in part: From
first to last, speaking as a friend, and not
the enemy of Cleveland, l urged that it
would be ruinous to him and to us, to his
great name and fame, aud to our hopes in
the immediate future, to nominate him
unless New York should come to the
National Convention solid behind him.
New York is split wide open. Its regular
Democrats are committed against Cleve-
land. How can any thoughtful Demo-
crat see anything but defeat in such con-
ditions? [ know in the beginning Cleve-
land took the same view of the situation,

the nomination, he has changed his opin-

Sol Smith Knocks Out Dal Hawkins In
Thirteen Rounds.


Thirteen Rounds.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-Dal Haw-
kins, the San Francisco feather-weight,
and Sol Smith of Los Angeles met at the
California Athletic Club in a finish fight
for 81 800 purse Smith, who weighed lis
pounds TO Hawkins La, proved to be a
whirlwind, and banged Hawkins with
both hands in the first round, all but put
ting him out. Smith continued to get in
staggering blows on Hawkins during the
next few rounds, and the latter did little
in return. Smith did some upper cutting
at close quarters and smashed Hawkins
on the wind and closed the sixth round
with two hard blows on the head.
From the seventh to the eleventh
rounds the fight was slower. Hawkins
stood up well under his punishment and
scored number of good lefts.
In the eleventh Referee Coots, suspect
ing something wrong from Hawkins
action in the rally, asked him what he
said to Smith. Hawkins said he was
telling him to break away
IN the next two rounds Hawkins
countered well with his left, but the end
OF the thirteenth found Smith smashing
him about the head. There was no DOUBT
as to Smiths superiority, and finally he
sent Hawkins flat on his back and out
with left drive on the nose, drawing
blood. 1t was some seconds before
Hawkins revived.
Prior to the contest President FuIda
introduced as his successor Hiram Cook,

elected President Of the club at the regu-
lar election to-day
Joe Goddard, the Barrier champion of
Australia, and Joe McAuliffe, who are

the dock this morning to take the ed
itorial visitors on an excursion around
the bay very sad accident occurred.
About half an hour before the steamer
Ukiah left her dock a detachment oi
twenty men from Battery A, Second
Artillery, marched down from their
armory on Pacific Nights, under COM
mand of Lieutenant " estphal. The de-
tachment had been procured to fire the
salute when Governor Mark ham arrived,
and also to answer the salutes of the
various forts around the bay.
Among the force on gun number one
was Fred Wells, young man, but one
who has for several years been connected
with the battery. AS the Governor adj
vanced to the dock gun number one was
fired.
AS gun number two was fired the sec

Sheriff Mckenzie on the Witness
Stand.
NAPA, May 24.-Thls morning, during
the trial of Carl Schmidt for the murder
of Mrs. Lucina Greenwood, Sheriff Geo.
S. Mckenzie was placed on the Witness
stand. He related how he went to Dem
Yer, where Schmidt was arrested, and
brought him here, coming from Suisun
to Napa by carriage. At Dayisville
Schmidt pointed out the warehouse where
he slept the second night after the muir
der; also, q pine tree near COrdelia where
he slept the night following the tragedy.
When he passed the Greenwood house
Schmidt pointed ii out, showing the gate
by which he entered the premises, and
the lane up which he came to the house.
Schmidt showed the Sheriff the different
saloons along the road and in town where
he and his companion took drinks. He
also said he always supposed Greenwood
was dead until told different in Denver
Defendant was driven to the Greenwood
house and went all through it, showing
exactly how the crime was committed.
He also picked out the pistol which he
used the evening of the murder from a
group of pistols.
On croSS-eXamination witness said
Schmidt told him his partner in crime
hired him (Schmidt) to go to work on a
ranch, and when about one mile from
Greenwood's his partner told Schmidt
that he had no ranch. that rich old devil
lived up there, and he was going to rob
him. His partner then took out of his
pocket three pistols and two bottles
which he said contained poison, and gave
Schmidt one revolver. Schmidt also told
the Sheriff in Denver that after the mur-
der. when he and his partner wentto the
house the second time, he Schmidt let a
horse go, for which his partner cursed
him and fired shot at him.
This afternoon the confession made to
Sheriff Mckenzie by Schmidt at Denver
was admitted as evidence and read to the
jury.
DR.. Haun identified the bullet taken
from the head Of Mrs. Greenwood.
After corroboratiye testimony the pros
ecution rested.
The defense made an opening state
ment, saying it would prove that Schmidt
was so much under the influence of his
partner that he was induced TO help com
init the crime for fear of his own life.

Los ANGELES, May PA sensational
arrest was made by the Los Angeles po-
lice authorities. About April /, 1856,
Bryant B. Crandall of Buffalo, \. Y, af-
ter insuring his life to the extent of about
$4,000, disappeared. His hat, coat and
other articles of clothing were found on
the bank of the Niagara, which seemed to
point to suicide. Some three months
later dead body was found below the
falls exactly fitting CrandalPs descrip-
ton, even TO an injury to the right foot.
Crandall's wife and relatives positively
identified the body as that Of Crandall,
and part OF the insurance money was
paid.
The insurance associations were still
suspicious, and the matter was got into
the courts. In March, 1887, Crandall was
seen on the streets of Los Angeles by a
prominent citizen of Buffalo, who knew
him well and positively identified him.
The New York authorities were notified
who in turn sent out photographs and de-
scriptions of the man, and search COM
menced. But he had disappeared.
Some months ago Crandall was again
seen on the streets in Los Angeles, and
again he disappeared. From that time
Chief Glass and the detective force have
been on his track, and he vehs finally To-
Gated at Newhall, in this county, where
he was working at petroleum well.
When the officer reached Newhall Gran
dali had again disappeared, but was easily
tracked to this city and located in the
County Hospital, where he was being
treated for injuries received in the oil
country.
Last Thursday Chief Glass and Detect
i've Moffett placed Crandall under arrest,
and he was conveyed TO the City Prison,
where he has since been confined. The
matter was kept secret for fear of habeas
corpus proceedings.
The New York authorities were noti-
fed of the capture, when requistion
was at once forwarded to Governor Mark
ham, and tomorrow Detective Diehl of
Buffalo, n. Y, will arrive in the city for
his prisoner, who will at once be taken
back to answer for his crime.
Crandall has been identified beyond
any shadow Of doubt. His case attracted
widespread attention at the time it oc-
CURED, and his trial promises to be sem
satiOnal one.
The identity of the dead body found
floating below Niagara Falls will have to
be cleared up, and some startling devel-
opments may be looked for. Crandall's s
wife and children are still in Buffalo.

ST. ANN'S ARM.
Methodist Ministers Doubt the Genu

Methodist Ministers Doubt the Genu-
ineness of the Relic.
New YORK, May 24.-At the weekly
meeting of the Methodist ministers yes
terday one of the members said that it
was strange that Protestants should stand
still while part of the alleged arm of St.
Ann was exposed for the worship of
ignorant people in the Catholic church
of st. Jean Baptiste. He thought that a
protest should be made. There was no
proof, he said, that the so-called relic was
really what it was represented to be.
Others spoke to the same effect.
Monsignor Bernard O'Reilly, who was
formerly the domestic prelate of Leo
NIL, when told of these remarks. said !:
1.-The body Of st. Ann was buried, ac-
cording to the Bollandists, in the tomb of
the Blessed Virgin in Jerusalem. The
legend in the south of France is that
when all the relatives of our Lord and the
Virgin Mary were banished from Pales-
tine they took with them the body of
st. Ann. 1t was entombed in q Subter-
ranean chapel in the Cathedral of Apt, in
the south of France, by the first Bishop
of that see in the first century.
"When France was invaded by the
barbarians the entrance to the chapel was
walled up and the evidences of its exist
ence were obliterated. In a. u. 772 the
vault was discovered and opened in the
presence of Charlemagne, Archbishop
Turpin and great company Of priests
and mobiles. On the coffin was inscribed:
This is the body of st. Ann, the mother
of the Blessed Virgin Mary
"a letter of Charlemagne to Pope
Adrian l. concerning this discovery is ex-
tant. The body has been kept ever since
in the Cathedral of Apt to the great glory
of that city. The relic that was recently
exposed in this city came from the right
arm, which was sent to Rome to be kept
in the monastery of st. Paul.
"With respect to the Methodist minis
ters who criticise us,'' said Mgr O'Reilly,
81 have only to say that they should go
to the libraries and read for themselves
the history of the proofs ofthe miraculous
preservation OF the body Of st. Ann"

GHANT-CoNKLING LETTER.
General Busscy Has No Doubt 1t Is a
Forgery.


Forgery.
NEW YORK, May 24.-General Bussey,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, is in
this city. Speaking of the alleged Grant
letter to Conkling, he said he had excel
lent reasons for declaring the letter a
forgery. he was in New Orleans in 1880
when Grant returned from his TIP
around the world and was with the GEN
eral great deal for ten days. He en-
couraged the efforts looking to the choice
of delegates favorable to his nomination,
saying his experience as President and
his travels in the Old World had made
him feel desirous of another term in the
White House in order that he might be
enabled to carry out certain plans that he
had in mind. In all the conversations
he never uttered one word that would
harmonic with the sentiments contained
in the letter reputed to have been written
to Conkling. His visit to New Orleans
in 1880 was just one month before the let
ter was supposed to have been written.
