He was calmer when asked for his version
OF the atfray. Without great deal of
preliminary pumping he launched into a
description of the affair that did not differ
materially from Captain Bullene's, except
at the point where the actual conflict
took place. Ward asserts that the
men were the aggressors, and that his only
idea IN drawing u revolver was to protect

sides against him, whereas they claim
that they were endeavoring to quiet the
lighters and keep them from doing each

SAN Francisco. June 25-The hostile
feeling which has existed between the Nc
Manus and WEIGH factions in the Potrero
resulted in an attack this morning
by Frank McManus and a crowd
of his followers on Jack WEIGH and
Mike Curran, and Welch was stabbed in
the stomach and Cornelius McManus was
shot and fatally wounded. WEIGH and
Curran were In cart and the Nc
Manus band stopped them, and Cor
nelius McManus, who is known
as the "Gossoon, and who is brother of
Frank McManus, the so-called king of
the Potrero," hauled WEIGH from his seat,
at the same time plunging pocket-knife
into his stomach. inhicting ter
rible wound. WEIGH fell to the pave
ment and the crowd jumped on
him and began kicking him. WEIGH,
while PROSTATE, drew pistol and fired at
McManus. the bullet striking the latter
just below the heart. Both men were
taken to the receiving hospital by the
police who had some difficulty in driving
back the mob.
For years Frank McManus and Jack
Welch have been mortal enemies. They
are rival clearinghouse keepers at the
Potrero. Frank McManus has been en-
gagged in many disturbances, and
WEIGH has in numberless cases
used his influence to have McManus
arrested. MeManus, however, always
managed to avoid conviction. The feud
between the two men was also embit-
tered by the opposite political views
they held. McManus is Republic
can and generally managed to carry the
primaries for his faction. This year. how
ever, WEIGH, who is a Democrat, made up
his mind to drive the king" from his
stronghold. and when the primaries were
opened for the election of delegates to the
last Republican state convention, he
threw out the regular Republican board of
election and put Democrats in their places.
He managed to defeat McManus and the
affair today occasIoned no surprise to
the police. who had been expecting
some such bloody sequel to the numerous
clashings the Potrero clans have INDUCED
in. William Phillips. a brother-in-law of
McManus. was taken into custody by the
police this afternoon. He denies any
knowlege of the fight.

Antecedents of Stage Robber RurgIes.

sIssoNs, Cal, June 25.-John n. Ruggies, the
Redding stage robber, who was captured
at Woodland few days ago, formerly
resided, it is stated. in Sskiyou county
having his home in the mountain fastness of
the Butte creek country, where the cattlemen
regarded him as q desperate and lived in con-
slant terror OF him. While the crime of cattla
stealing was traced on different occasions to his
door, no cattle owner had the courage 10 prefer
charge against him, and his lawless
deeds passed UNPUBLISHED. Ruggles was at
home III the mountains and his wonderful ex-
hibtion OF craftsmanship added greatly to his
success in deiying cattlemen. Two years ago a
team OF mules and a wagon, which afterwards
were proven TO be the property of Thomas J.
sutton, Of Tehama, were found in Butte Creek
valley, and sutton's disappearance at the time
led TO the firm belief that he was muir
dered. Blood stains were found on tho
wagon seat and while the body OF sutton was
never discovered. this is accounted for by the
existence Of numerous deep crevices in that vi

QUEEN VICTORIA SUES AMERICANS.
Test Case to Determine Ownership OF
Trinidad Asphalt Deposits

NEW YORK, June 25-Victoria, queen of
Great Brita n and Ireland and empress of
India, appeared through Niles & johnson,
as counsel, before Justice Andrews of the
supreme court yesterday on mo-
ton arising out of an action she
has brought against the Standard
Asphalt Company to recover a cargo of
asphalt valued at $1,000. Defendant
moved to vacate the attachment she had
obtained on the cargo. The asphalt was
taken, it is alleged, from the island of
Trinidad, owned by the queen, and was
bought by defendant, in ignorance of any
dispute as to its ownership. Asphalt
by thousands OF tons is taken in
Trinidad every year from pitch
lake. which is swamp of asphalt. The
British government has claimed part of
this asphalt territory, but the claim has
been disputed at Trinidad and the case
has been taken into the courts. The
cargo in suit arrived last Monday. The
asphalt was bought at $40 ton by the
defendants. 1t is not disputed that de-
PENDANTS purchased it in good faith On
Wednesday the crown began a repevin
suit to recover the property. and obtained
an attachment. Lawyer Niles said the
asphalt lands owned by the crowned head
had given out, that raids had recently been
made on prohibited territory, and that
this asphalt had been stolen. The crown
has obtained I'M unctions at Trinidad re-
straining the removal of cargoes until it
is ascertained where the asphalt comes

Suffering Among Poor Farmers in
Northern Mexico and Southern Texas.


Northern Mexico and Southern Texas.
LAREDO, Tex, June 25-The great
drouth which prevailed over Northern
Mexico and a portion of Texas on the
Rio Grande border for the last two sea-
sons, continues unoroken except in
places. The cattle industry has been al
most annihilated, and a total failure of
crops, except in the irrigated districts. will
result, causing extreme suffering among
the poorer classes.
The situation in the states of Durango
and Coahuila is extremely pitiful.
At Laredo fund has been established
TO run lunch rooms where the poor and
suffering classes are fed, and this only
prevented actual starvation. Several
hundred thousands of bushels of corn
have been shipped from the United States,
which also has alleviated suffering.
In the Texas drouth region the poorer
classes have been subsisting for months
on contributions sent from other parts of
the state.

The Copper Trust Limits the Output.

BUTTE, June 25.-[Special. u. B. Hag-
gin, of the Anaconda Mining Company,
who arrived yesterday, states that the
copper producers of the United States
have all come to the conclusion
to reduce their product, and that the Ana
conda Company. on it's part, will lower it's
product nearly 80 per cent, begin
ming with the lst Gay of July. After that
date no part of the product of the Ana
conda mine will be shipped, as heretofore,
in the shape of matte, but it
will all be reduced to bars or
some other merchantable form. The large
amount of silver and gold obtained in
Anaconda copper renders it imperative
to refine the latter by the electrolytic pro-
cess, whereby all the silver and gold is
saved. and the result is perfectly pure
copper. Mr.. Haggin expects, with the
increased consumption of the metal in the
United States and the great reduction in
the product. that little or none of his
copper will be shipped abroad.
He says all the copper producers have
come to the conclusion that it is better for
them to supply the market at fair price
than to produce an excess of copper and
have to contend with fuctuating and un-
certain markets.

at Washington City. has given directious
to w. Scott Simms, inventor of the Simms-
Edison torpedo boat, to make experiments
with the submarine boat invented and
built in this city by George c. Baker, and
is here for that purpose. Simms said
Commodore Folger is greatly interested in the
Baker boat, and considers that it. in conjunc-
ton as q submarine boat with my torpedo, will
furnish all the requirements for q
perfect destroyer. The combination fur
nishes all the deadiress, together
with a minimum risk, Which forms the
ideal element of assault. In Bakers boat 1 feel
confident that the problem has been satisiac-
torily solved. He has the first boat to ride on
an even keel. Its submerging powers depend 20
a large extent upon its propellers. 1t is easily
controlled ana OF powerful structure.
