Continued for Three Weeks, Owing to
the Absence of a Witness.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.-When the
Bruner case was called in Judge Wal
lace's court this morning w. w. Foote.
Howard MacSherry and District AttOr-
ney Barnes appeared for the prosecution
and j. G. Campbell for the defense. A
large number of witnesses was present
from all parts of the State Mr.. Mac
Sherry began by asking for a continu-
ance. He said the prosecution had been
unable to secure the attendance Of Tick ct
Scalper Ottinger, who, he understood,
was at Anaconda, Mont.
Mr.. Campbell objected strenuousIy.
Mr.. Reddy, he said, was hurrying back
from Arizona, and is anxious to go on
with the case. The defense expects to 90
to trial to-day.
Judge Wallace said this could not be
done until the defendant pleads, which
he has not done. 1t seemed that this lit
tie torlnality had not yet been complied
with, and Bruner at once arose and
pleaded not guilty.
Upon the question of continuance. a
protracted debate took place among the
lawyers. Campbell objected to three
weeks, although he consented to two,
Foote said the disappearance of Ottinrer
at this time was very mysterious. where
upon Campbell somewhat hotIy declared
that the defense had nothing to do with
it. lie wanted Ottinger here worse than
the prosecution.
Inc discussion was cut short by Judge
Wallace setting the case for three weeks
from to-day.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Caminetti's Mining Bill Passes the
House.

IIOuS9.
| WASHINGTON. July 1S.-Two bills of
interest to California passed the House
to-day. One was the celebrated McGar-
rahan mining claim and the other the
Caminetti hydraulic mining bill. The
Speaker decided that the last bill was be-
fore the House as unfinished business.
when Caminetti called up the bill.
| Watson of Georgia demanded a second.
as this is suspension day. The second
was ordered and consideration OF the bill
proceeded with. Barley of Texas. Bv-
mum of Indiana and Watson of Georgia
opposed the bill on constitutional
grounds. Caminetti made a speech in
favor OF his bill. 1t passed by vote of
l43 to 43. 1t carries an appropriation of
only $4,000.
The Ways and Means Committee of the
House this morning adopted resolution
providing for the final adjournment of
Congress on the 18th. Unless something
unforeseen arises, it is believed that the
resolution will be adopted by both
houses.
This meeting of the Ways and Means
Committee about completes the work of
the committee at the session. The policy
OF some Democratic members for a post
ponement of further attempts at tariff re-
vision has prevented action on sugar.
SalC, IunlDeIs IRON ore ana Otner proposed
| bills. The improbability of any addi-
tional tariff bills emerging from the Ways
and Means Committee is increased by the
fact that the Republican members Of the
committee arc not disposed to assist the
Democrats on the committee to secure a
quorum. Word was received by the
Democratic members that the Republican
members would not attend any session
OF the committee except for consideration
Of the adjournment resolution reported
to-day. The number of Democratic
members makes it impossible for the
committee to do anything, The refusal,
if persisted in, besides preventing the
report of an additional tariff bill will
render it impossible for the committee to
do anything with the adverse report on
the sub-treasury bills, and also on Dali
zeIPs resolution of inquiry with refer
ence to the losses sustained through
national and through State banks.
In case the House decides to adjourn
Monday next, the committee investigat-
ing the Homestead troubles will probably
report progress. II the adjournment is
set later, the committee will investigate

A LITTLE SENSATION,
Run1or That Gladstone VIII Not ]
Called Upon to Form a Cabinet.

Rumor That Gladstone VIII Not Be
Called Upon to Form Cabinet.
LONDON, July lS.-The Pail Mall Ga
sette says that a rumor is in circulation
that the Queen will not summon Glad
stone to form Ministry, but that a coali-
ton Government under the Duke of De-
vonshire is possible. The Pail Mall Ga
zette connects the rumor with the visit of
Lord Salisbury, Joseph Chamberlain and
the Duke Of Devonshire to Windsor
Castle last week. The best-informed
Liberals rldicule the Devonsnire coalition
as outside of all possible contingencies.
EsIhe Times gives prominence to aletter
from Sir Edward WatKin, q Liberal
UniOniSt member-eleCt of the House of
Commons for Rythe, and Chairman of
the Southeastern Railway Company, urg-
ing the settlement of the Irish question
by compromise between Gladstone and
Salisbury, and by the construction of a
ship canal across Ireland, and a tunnel
connecting Ireland and Scotland.
The construction of the ship canal, Sir
Edward says, would place ireland on
the shortest sea route to all the great
West, and to the East by way of the
Canadian Pacific Railway. Surveys have
shown that the project is feasible and that
the cost would not exceed $40, ,000, 900.
Sir Edward further says that the con-
struction of the ship canal and tunnel
would restore prosperity to Ireland by
atiOrding work for thousands of men,
and by the impetus that would be added
to her present commercial industries and
the creation of new ones.
The sum of to-night's position, as
stated by several Liberals, is that they
meaning to play for two or three sessions
before dissolving Parliament-win not
rush the home rule bill. II constrained
to give it precedence, they will not ACCEPT
its rejection by the House of Lords as
necessitating Immediate dissolution, but
will proceed with measures tending TO
strengthen the Liberal vote throughout
the country. Gladstone will move sim
ply a mo confidence amendment to the
address instead of one alleging specific
reasons, and thus be enabled to limit the
scope OF the declaration of his own
policy.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon returns
show the election OF 81 supporters Of the
Government and 347 members of the
opposition. 1t is officially announced as
a result OF the visit Of Salisbury to the
Queen yesterday that the Conservative
Government will convene Parliament
August 4th.

ence to the Columbian Exposition.

priation for the fair, on condition that no

the murder of her Captain and crew,
taken from the China papers, is some
what mixed. The only vessel of that
name on this coast was lost several wears

was probably the yacht Ninoloaiti, which
formerly belonged to the King of fTahiti.
When the King died the vessel was sold
to private parties, and chartered to a man
named Wilson, who fitted her out for
trading cruise. The vessel cleared with
out proper formalities, and since that
time nothing has been heard OF her.
