SOME OF THEM WERE HERE.
Breaking Up Of a Gang Of Burglars
at the Bay.
Two of Billy Finn's Chicken-Stealfng
Companions We're Members Of
It-Who Is Whiteys"

The San Francisco police have sue
! ceeded in arresting three members of an
organized band of thieves that have
within the last three months committed
no less than 100 burglaries in that city,
by which they secured at least $50, 600
worth of stolen goods.
The chief conspirator and captain OF
this band of hotel and room thieves was
arrested three days ago, and has since
been confined in the tanks at the city
prison, awaiting the time when the de-
tectives should have collected sufficient
evidence to bring him out and place the
charge of burglary opposite his name.
| The man is John Garvey, alias John
Mitchell, alias Jack Casey, alias One
Armed Jack. He is an ex-convict, hay
ing served a five-year term in the Oregon
Penitentiary, and also three different
terms in the San Francisco House of Cor
rection for minor otfenses.
Garvey and an associate known as
Whitley" planned and in some cases ex-
ecuted the numerous hotel and lodging
house robberies that have occurred since
the lst of last December. Their conted-
crates and assistants were four boys rang
ing in age from II to 20 years, whose
names are Harry Hammell, an ex-mes-
senger boy who has served a term of
| three months in the House of Correction
for petit larceny; Thomas Corcoran, also
an eX-messenger boy; Jack DAILY, alias
Hatchet-Faced DAILY, and John Manson,
alias the Midget"
Corcoran and Hammell are now in Jail
charged with burglary having been ar
rested on the lst inst. for robbing the
lodging-house of Mrs. Horner at $40 Bush
street.
Daily is now serving a term of six
months in the Sacramento County Jail
for being caught in chicken-stealing
scrape in this city few weeks ago.
While trying to escape from the premises
| of NJ. j. Houghton Daily was shot through
the shoulder and William Finn. one OF
his companions, was killed. DAILY had
fled from San Francisco upon the arrest
of Hammell and Corcoran. The Mid
get' is known to have been member of
the gang that raided Houghton's chicken
house on the fatal Sunday night when
Finn was shot and killed by Houghton,
hut he has managed to elude capture
1t will be remembered that the man
who subsequently gave the name of ohm
o. zeal had mis- throat slashed by one Ed
| Riley in dive a couple of weeks ago,
was taken TO the Receiving Hospital and
card or slip of paper was found in his
| pocket on which was scrawled "San
| Francisco Whitley" Nothing is known
here of his antecedents. and it may be
that he is the Whitley" wanted by the
San Francisco police in connection with
the recent burglaries there or that he is a
chum of Whitley"
| This man O'Neal yesterday refused to
prosecute Riley, who nearly killed him
in the row referred to. wherefore it would
seem that there is an old and mysterious
bond of friendship between them.

During a recent blizzard in Colorado a
large number OF elk-stated at over 600
driven by cold and hunger, invaded
the cattle ranches at Steamboat Springs,
and, driving the cattle away frsm the

had been provided for them. The ranch

without much difficulty, as their suffer-

to try to domesticate them.

which she gives an entertainment that
would we'll stand alone. But Mr.. Wal
dron has an irresistibly humorous part,
and Mr.. Hallet assumes a role of quaint
humor that is a good foil to Waldron's
Lodovic. Mr.. Snow is at his best as the
villain of the drama-which is mixture
of melodrama and low comedy. Miss
Lingham assumes a matronly part with
an ease we had not expected, and gives
the character dignity and vigor. Miss
Nannary's heroine is fine piece of act
ing, and Miss Wells Stella is careful
and painstaking success. Mr.. Nannary's
Steve is an especially good study from

ADJUSTMENTS.

The clever Lilliputians, who are among
the most popular actors to be found on
the road at present, will open short en-
gagement at the Metropolitan Theater
tonight and closing tomorrow night.
They will produce two different plays.
both equally entertaining and artistic.
Candy" aspectacular play, has achieved
an enormous success in New York and
San Francisco, where it has been given
during the last few weeks. 1t is most
brilliant affair, and gives the little actors
| splendid opportunity to make use of
their abilities. There are several grand
ballets, the most striking of which is an
electrical dance, at the end of the first act
in which a host of electric incandescent
lights are used to produce magical effects.
| links ''Ta-ra-ra boom de ay" parody has
achieved phenomenal reputation, and
not less brilliant is the acting of genial
Franz Ebert, the smallest tot on the stage
in the world, and Miss Ida Mahr the
dashing soubrette and songstress of the
Lilliputians. Candy will be presented
this evening, while on the last night of
the engagement and at the Saturday mat
inee The Dwarf's Wedding" charm
| ing comic opera, will be the bill.
Both plays have highly interesting
plots, witty dialogues and catchy music
I
pany on the road, which gives more
wholesome and enjoyable entertainment
than these little people. The heavy ad-
vance sale indicates their popularity
here when they appeared some eighteen
months ago. The midgets, who are
highly accomplished artists, measure
from twenty-eight 10 thirty inches in
hight, while their ages range from 26 to
30 years. The company is now composed
of more than one hundred people, in
Guiding an excellent chorus and an ex-
ceptionally fine ballet. They use for
travelling a special train composed of two
| Pullmans, three coaches and four cars
containing scenery, costumes and prop
critics. The scenery is from the brushes
of foremost scenic painters, the costum-
cry is very rich and the ballet very
graceful, and in its grotesque dances
phenomenally novel, while the dances
by the midgets themselves constitutes
the most mirthful part of the perform
ance in Candy"

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Senor Muruaga.
The Spanish minister, in a conference with
Secretary of State Gresham today, stated
tba5 "A telegram had been received from
Madrid, intimating that Princess Eulalia
would abandon her trip 10 the United
States. The minister ventured to suggest
that until more definite information was
received, the arrangements already made
for her reception and entertainment be
changed or given up. Senior Muruagu said,
In further conversation regarding the
princess plans. that her highness was a
person of quite delicate constitution, and
that the care OF her health was her first
consideration. The fatigue that would
accompany the round of pleasure prepared
for one of her rank would be dangerous.
1T would be no less disappoiutmeut to
the speaking people of the United
States than To the authorities OF the coun-
Try and the officials of the fair, if she was
compelled now TO abandon her purpose
and return TO Spain from Cuba. Official
advlces are expected tomorrow which
VIII fully settle the question,

GERMAN POLITICS.

| BERLIN. May 13.-The first week Of the
| electoral struggle ends without any of the
! parties knowing where they stand. and
without any of them having anything like
reliable data from which to forecast the
result CT the contest for members of the
reichstag. The leaders OF the Social Dem
ocrats alone seem to retain firm grip
upon their organization. They have to-
night 142 candidates in the field. They
can reasonably hope 30 secure ffty-ive
seats, Il gain of nineteen seats over the
number held by the party in the last reich
stag. From the unprecedented number
of candidates appearing, it will be impos-
sible for the results of the first daysS poll
ing, on June ). 10 decide the general issue,
and il is expected that the vote on that
day VIII not certainly establish the polltl-
cal character of the new house. Each
party seems determined to expend
every available resource in con;estinC dis.
trlcts where it has the remotest chance OF
success; indeed, in many instances candl-
dates Will stand in districts where success
appears impossible. Thus, in Berlin the
Ccntri5ts will contest every district, al
though they know that the Catholic vote
Is certain TO be swamped by the immense
preponderance of Freisinnige and Socialist
votes
The retirement of Count ven Ballestrem
and other Centri5t leaders is under cousid-
Grafton. The bulk OF the party shrinks
from the prospect of DR.. Leiber's becom-
ing the leader of the party. Under him
the democratic evolution of the party
would proceed at full pressure. The aris-
tocratic element OF the party view such u
prospect with dismay. DR.. Lieber's recent
declaration that he WAS Prussian against
his will, and his attacks on the monarch
ical principle as represented in Emperor
William, have made 1t impossible for him
to be recognized as chief of a united Cen
ter party.
The two wings of the Freisinnige party
have started IN with opposing candidates
in Berlin and elsewhere The provincial
freisinnige organizations, however. 9ener-
ally support Eugene Richter, leader of the
faction known as the radical peoples
party.
The government organs carefully repro
ducs the reports in the French papers as
to how France is rejoiced at the rejection
OF the army bill, adding sinister. rumors
as TO the designs of the French govern
mept. They also publish doubtful tele-
grams from Strasburg, reporting that the
French garrlsous along the froutler al
ready have been or are being reinforced
and that the granting of furloughs to all
French soldiers aud officers has been
stopped. The alarm which these organs
profess TO feel has not spread among the
people.
