Gentlemen, the supporters Of this

there is a similarity between this measure
and the law 10 place tax upon the sale
Of liquor. They argue that the men who
pay the tax on selling liquor will be on
the lookout to see that those persons who
are selling without having first paid the
tax are prosecuted. They fail to tell you
however, gentlemen, that there is pool
selling In many cities and villages in the
state and there are not at the same time
any person or persons in such cities or
villages who are In any way interested in
any race track and consequently there is
no person who is selhshly interested TO see
that this law is not violated. The whole
argument is but slimsy veil to hide the
true intent, and the same gentlemen who
are asking us to vote for this bill, II they
secure It's passage, will simply laugh at us
and say what fools they were to be so
easily deceived

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-Miss Amelia
Wukey or Donnelly, aged 16 years, died
this evening under suspicious circum-
stances. The body was removed to the
morgue and upon examination it was
found that death resulted from the ef-
fects OF criminal operation. On Mon
day night DR.. Samuel Newman was
called in to attend the sick girl. her
mother claiming she had been treated
for pneumonia by Mrs. DIR. Godfrey,
without success. DIR. Newman soon dis
covered that all was not right, and in
making an investigation OF tho room
found several instruments used In un-
lawful operations. A visit was paid to
DR.. Godfrey who turned out to be DIR.
Lephane, proprietor OF the Folsom street
hospital. She at first disclaimed all
knowledge Of such Q girl, but upon being
pressed finally stated she lad treated
the girl for cancer, but as she could not
effect a cure had given the case up. Her
story is not believed, and at late hour
tonight che was arrested by the police
and will be held pending an investiga-
tion by the coroner. Mrs. Lephane is

rAArE,s CLEVER MOVE.
A Bill for the Reform of the Austrif
Suffrage.

buhrhk6s
VIENNA, Oct. 16.-There was much ex-
citement and surprise in the reichsrath
today when Count Taafe, president of
the ministry and minister of the in
terror, announced that he desired to sub
NIT bill for the extension of the fran
chise. He declared that the govern
ment itself had resolved to take the in
ltiate in the matter, as they we're con-
vinced it was impossible to further delay
measures for franchise reform. The bill
introduced by the government aims at
enabling any one properly fulfilling his
duties as citizen to vote at all elec-
tione. The premier concluded by advis-
ing the house to discuss the bill at the
earliest date. In view of the prevailing
agitation, Connt Taafe's action is con-
sidered very clever move, and one cal
culated to cut the ground from under
the feet of the agitators. The proposals.
contained in the bill produced profound
impression. The socialists are
not satisfied with the measure,
because it does not touch the existing
group system OF election, with four
classes of constituencies. On the other
side it is argued that the proposed re-
forms only apply to the middle classes
whose votes will be swamped by the
increased Socialist votes. 1t is not at
all certain that the bill will be passed,
but its introduction is regarded as most
important, as opening an era OF parlia-
mentary reform.

RESOLUTIONS Adopted FavOring Govern
msnt Aid and Protection.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-The second
day of the annual convention of the
California Miners association began at
9:30 this morning in Pioneer hall. As
most Of the important work had been
transacted yesterday, the attendance
was not large. Nevertheless the pro-
ceedings were spirited. committee to
represent the mining interests in the
mid-winter fair coming up, j. A. Filcher
reminded the convention that two great
objects had to be promoted by the dele
gates. One was to bring pressure upon
congress for necessary legislation, and
the other to assist in securing a suitable
mining exhibit at the mid-winter fair,
go as to arouse enthusiasm in the min
ing industry and attract capital to it's
development.
The committee on legislation recon-
mended the adoption OF q resolution de-
claring the association opposed to cer-
tain changes in the eo-called Stewart
mining bill, which bill has for its pur-
pose the amending of certain sections of
the revised statutes OF the United States
relative to the acquisition of title to
mining lands. The resolutions declare
in favor Of striking out of section 1924
the words "Dut no relocation of a claim
of person who has already located and
failed to comply with the conditions of
the act in performing the work or max
ing improvements, shall be valid prior
to such resumption and continuance Of
work upon such claim"
1t is also demanded that government
agents in granting title to citizens ehall
construe and apply the law with great
liberality and not put an onerous bur
den on applicants.
the committee further recommends
that a bill be presented to congress pro-
viding for an appropriation of $1.030,000
to be expended under the direction of
the secretary of war in accordance with
the plans OF the California debris COM
mission. for the purpose OF constructing
works for the restraining and impound-
ing OF mining debris upon the tributar-
les of the Sacramento and San Joaquin
rivers in California, and the branches Of
such tributaries.

DUBLIN, Oct. 10.-It is evident from
speech of John Redmond. leader of the
Parneliite party, at meeting here last
night, and the resolutions of the meet
ing, that the Parnellites have definitely
broken with Gladstone, claiming he has
abandoned Irish interests, and will here
after fight all English measures in the
house of commons.
The speech has caused sensation
here and in political circles throughout
Great Britain. Redmond said the Irish
cause ives at present menaced by a
deadly peril which was the inevitable
result of the Nationalists' surrender to
the English. Parnell's prediction was
fully justified. There was no use de-
ceiving the Irish people into the belief
that the British people who had taken
up home rule, acted from any other mo-
tive than necessity, and only when they
realized that British interests were i'm
periled. The Liberals had now hung up
home rule for an entire year. until 1894,
at least, and intended to proceed to con-
sideration of English reforms without
having settled with Ireland, go soon as
the voters of Great Britain realized that
Ireland would submit to this. Thus a
large part of Parnell's life work was
undone and home rule would disappear
for generation or more. Furthermore,
what could Gladstone offer? Last ses-
rion's bill was dead and the next one
would be further compromise.
Redmond criticised the course of
Dillon tand O'Brien, whose names were
greeted with groans and Kisses. He
added that at the coming session he and
his followers would decline to follow the
government to division on English
questions. This statement was gi eeted
by prolonged cheering.
The Parnellltes then passed resolu-
tions that the refusal of the government
to consider at the autumn session a
measure to reinatate evicted Irish polit-
ical prisoners. and Glsdstone's failure
at Edinburg, recently, to define his in
tentions in regard to the Irish question,
indicated the policy he intended to fol-
low in regard to home rule. All this
necessitated immediate action upoa the
part of the Irish party, and the re-
organization of that party throughout
the country should be one of the first
steps taken.
AT the National league meeting here
today John Redmond said meetings
would be held Immediately throughout
Ireland in order to bring about the re-
organization of the league. These meet
ings will be addressed by ParnelIite
members of parliament, who will not go
back to Westminster unless they see q
chance of raising amnesty on the evicted
tenants question,

Minister Steinbach Makes Some Start
ling Predictions.
VIENNA, Oct. 10.-Minister Stein bach,
referring to the financial situation today
in the reichsrath, said the Austrian se-
curities which we're flowing back con-
sisted chiefly OF silver rentes. Foreign
countries are now frightened at the
very name OF silver, therefore Austria
has adhered to the view existing in con-
nection with that metal. The finance
minister predicted that in few
years Austria would possess the
whole amount of gold she required,
while the United States would be pas
sing through an unprecedented crisis.
Austria, he added, was free from diff
culties and the currency must not be re-
stricted or inflated. America, he said,
showed to what initiation led.
The minister of war presented bill
to re-organize and increase the land
wehr, remarking that the growth OF the
army estimates would continue owing to
the political conditions, which were not
likely to alter.

The Missing Mans wire Wants Letters

RIvERsIDE, Oct. 10.-The facts attend
ing the mysterious disappearance of one
Charles Potter, resident of San Ja-
cidto, some months ago. and the subse-
quent discovery OF dead body claimed
to be Potter's near this city were re-
viewed today when the widow of Potter
applied to the court to be granted letters
OF administration on the property OF
the missing man. Mrs. Potter produced
evidence going to show that the body
found was that Of her husband, though
the proof did not conclusively prove it
to be such. Potter, when he lett home
last March, had in his possession con-
siderable money, and he has never been
heard of since. 1t appears that he met
with foul play. The petition of the
widow was not decided by the court,
and as yet the mystery of Potter's dis
appearance, as well as to who the dead
man found near here was, remains un-
aolvpd
