SARAH ALTHEA HILL
She is Adjudged Insane and Sent
10 Stockton.
Nanny" Pleasant Tells of Her Talk About
Spirits and Judge Terry-The Defendant
CrOss-kxamnes Her.

SAN Francisco, March 10.-Mrs Sarah
Althea Sharon-Terry was to day adjudged
insane and was committed to the state
asylum at Stockton. The proceeding were
conducted before Judge Levy, who held
court today in the larger room, but even
these enlarged quarters were crowded
with spectators, including many prominent
citizens. Mrs Terry, however, did not
seem surprised or nervous at the sight of
the large number of people, but when
court opened she began weeping. 'Mam-
my'' Pleasant Mrs. Terry's colored nurse,
was the first witness examined by the
commissioners. She related various in
stances recently occurring 10 indicate Mrs
Terry was insane. "She is constantly
talking about spirits and about Judge
Terry" said Pleasant, land l am afraid
she may harm herself or others.
Mrs. Terry here rose and asked permits
sion TO question witness, which the court
hnally granted. She then put long series
OF lnterrogations to the witness which COW
cred her doings from the time when her
mental trouble first became apparent, a
few weeks ago, TO the time she finally left
NANNY" Peasants house. These, or
similar questions, were put to the other
witnesses, Mrs. Terry sometimes display
ing considerable clearness and humor, and
at other times wandering in her question
ing or breaking into hysterical laughter,
Mrs. Terry was also placed upon the stand,
but she talked incoherently, and after an
other witness had testified to instances
where Mrs. Terry had displayed irrational
symptoms, the court ostensibly adjourned
until pm. In the meantime, no gever, an
order committing her to the STOCKTON
asylum was signed by Judge Levy.
Mrs. Terry was taken away in a closed
carriage, those who had been present in
the court room throDging the sidewalk to
watch her departure. 1t is stated Mrs.
Terry's insanity is due to general debility
brought on by her nervous tension of the
past few years. Some friends believe that
by quiet, and asylum treatment, she may
be restored to health in few months, bu,
others express fear she will lever recover
her mind.

Doinps st Pocatello

PocATELLo, Idaho, March 10.-[Special
telegram to The HERALD. -Pritchard,
who was killed in Owyhee county a few
days ago, was one of the appraisers of the
Pocatello town lots and well known and
generally liked in this locality. His sad
fate las been the subject of much comment
and it is probable combination of rope,
man and tree would have been the result
had the affair been in this county.
A party of prospectors went to Bannock
creek, taking three days in making the
forty miles, on account of heavy snow. One
of the most valuable horses, by getting
tangled in the picket rope at night broke
Its neck. One of the party returned to
town after another horse, and reports they
struck a vein some distance from the first
location, and that they will run tunnel
there in preference to the spot first
selected on account of the rock being of
much better quality. No further reports
are expected from this district for month
1T least.
There is much discussion as to the prob
able time of opening the reservation among
people of the city, most claiming within
six months, but the general opinion is
from eighteen months to two years. 1t is
possible stampede 10 the reservation may
force the issue, and Fort Hall will be as
prominent as Oklohoma.

OMAHA, Neb., March 10 Especial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. The blizzard and
windstorm prevailing during the last
twenty -four hours is the most remarkable
in the history of the west. The gale at
tanned velocity of 100 miles per hour and
was continuous. The damage in the towns
Of the state is enormous; il cannot be esti-
mated in the country districts, and there
has been no communication during that
time. Ali day pedestrians in Omaha were
kept dodging signs and fragments of roof
which had been loosened by the wind and
were blown about the streets. A high
chimney at the new ST. Joseph's hospital
was blown down and crashed through the
slate roof, doing considerable damage.
Several of the ornaments on the turrets of
Trinity church (Cathollc) were torn loose
and small buildings were overturned and
vehicles in the streets we're blown IN every
direction. j. r. Porter, prominent mer
chant, was blown into the street and dan
eerously crushed by a cab. The fremen
probably have more cause ID complain
about the storm than any body else. For
nearly tWenty-four hours there was trouble
in the department wires. Frequently our

| Tie horses were driven nearly wild by the
excitement and constant ringing OF the
! bells. The windstorm played havoc with
the wires of the Western Union Telegraph
company. Shortly after midnight gust
struck the poles just east of the Union
Pacific bridge and snapped six of them,
tanging up the forty wires in in
extricable confusion. Some of the
wires were broken and those that
were not, were grounded so that not
one of them could be used. A gang
| of Western Union linemen in the city this
morning and force of twenty-five men
was put to work to repair the damage OIL
east bank of the river. Owing to the high
wind, the men could not work but cross
arms were placed on the broken streets,
and by noon twenty of the wires were
working. Up to that time relay messeu-
ger service was keep in operation between
this city and the Bluffs, as the wires were
working from the latter point east, and
messages were brought across the river by
motor. Several of 5he Omaha operators
were sent across the river and the bulk Ell

A NEW CABINET
Eduardo Matte is Selected to
Form One for Chill.
The Inquiry into Lieutenant HarlOw's' Case
Coneluded-COnsul McCreery's Recall
Would be Agreeable to Chilli.

NEW YORK, March 10.-The Herald's
Valparaiso correspondent csbles: 1t is un-
derstood that at a meeting of the Liberal
party last night Eduardo Matte was Sc
lected to form new cabinet. The follow
ing is said to be the composition of the
cabinet: Minister of the interior, Eduardo
Matte; foreign affairs, Senior Cosfellon;
justice, Caspar Taro; finance, Aguatin Ed
wards: war and marine, Luis Barros Bor-
genoa; puolic works, Vicente Davils
Lalrain.
With the exception of Senior Borgonon.
all these men held csbinet positions during
the nrst year of Balmaceda's presi-
dency.
Judge Grimes NoRuera has concluded the
investigation of the case of Lieutenant
Harlow, Worlds fair commissioner Of
Chile, and handed the evidence to the
temporary minister of foreign affairs.
Noguera's examination shows Lieutenant
Harlow, under the name of Remier sent
dispatches TO several New York news
papers, and Consul McCreery also wrote
dispatches to the same papers. In the
judges opinion the dispatches sent bv
Harlow and McCreery contained
many untrIthful statements which were
calculated to operate against the amica5le
relations of Chill with the United States.
He says there is also evidence to prove
several kilograms were sent to the Ameri-
can legation at Santiago addressed to
Reimer upon the formation of the new cab
met The CHILEAN minister of foreign
affairs will be urged to bring the matter to
the notice of the United States government.
In conclusion Senior IsidOre Errszuriz said
the Chilian government would like to re-
turn Consul McCreery's exequatur, except
for fear of giving offense to the United
States, and it would be greatly appreciated
if the United States of its own accord
would send a new consul to Valparaiso who
would not lend himself to transactions in
exchange, based on diplomatic data OBJ
tanned through bis official position.

A Combine to Limit Copper Production

New YORK, March 10.-Rumors of
great combination which, if effected, will
involve millions of dollars, just now is
proving matter of prime interest to man
ufacturers and dealers in copper and hold
ers of copper mining stocks. For months
copper prices have been very low and the
tension upon most copper mining companies
IN the Lake Superior region, Montana,
Arizona and New Mexico to keep things
going has been severe 1t has long been
urged by copper men that some combina-
ton to limit production should be forced,
but only within very recent time has the
matter assumed shape. Negotiations have
been carried on very secretly. The course
Of prices, however, in the Boston market
has shown things were going on favorably.
a Boston dispatch received this afternoon
says: The statement is made here, or
good authority, the proposed combination
Of copper mine properties, with the eXcep-
ton OF the Quincy company, which de-
clined to Join, is PRACTICAL effected. 1t is
stated the annual production of the Ana
conds mine is fixed at 10000, 600 pounds and
the Calumet and Hecla 90, 100000.
J. b. Haggin denied that it was the
4neconda's intention TO add one western
mine to its plant He declined to say any
thing about the effort of the producers to
tx a uniform price on the limit Of produc-
tion.
"a trust would have been brought about
by any uniform price fixed by the largest
producers if a certain big company did
not desire to get control Of all the
copper mines in the west" said man who
knows all about the conf erences
which have been held between the copper
men. There are big mines in Arizona and
New Mexico, as well as Montana. II
one company were in control of all
these it would be in a better position
than at present to fix prices to
suit itself. Mining companies in
Arizona and New Mexico are not
making much money at present and are
perfectly willing TO enter into any
agreement with the Anaconda company, of
Montana, and the Calumet and Hecla COM
pany, of Michigan, but not willing to sell
the controlling interest of their property
to any other company, and as the
Anaconda company wants to get hold OF
these companies it proposes to oppose
any measure that will place these mines in
an independent position. 1t is to the Ana
condas interest TO keep the price of copper
down at present so the Arizona and New
Mexico companies can more easily be
brought to terms, ana for that reason the
Anaconda will not at present consent tc
Sell copper at any fixed price"

The Great Blizzard In Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, March 10.-After raging with
terrific fury for thirty hours the blizzard
passed to the northeast, leaving in its wake
intense cold AS fuller details of the storm
are received it's magnitude and intensity
are shown. Fears are entertained there
may be great loss of life. Many people out
in the storm have not returned and friends
are anxiously awaiting news from them.
If they were lost the intense cold would
prove fatal. On account of the condition
of the wires and the drift covered country
roads full details of the loss OF life will be
slow in coming in. Reports of damage to
property have been received from all over
Minnesota and the Dakotas, while com
munication with Montana is still cut off
