The Sagacity of a Deputy Sheriff Saves
an Ex-Convlct's Life.
SANTA Rosa. May 3l.-Deputy Sheriff
Frank Murphy landed Winfield Basham,
ex-convict, in jail here about o'clock
this morning, and only the prompt
action and sagacity of that official pre-
vented the citizens of Guerneville from
lynching Basham. Basham had been
working at Guerneville for some time.
Monday afternoon he made a criminal
assault on little seven-year- girl in
that place. Screams attracted help and
Basham, in the excitement, escaped out
of the back window.
Deputy Sheriff Murphy heard of the
trouble Tuesday, and at once started after
Basham. He had fled to the mountains,
but Murphy headed him off, and at the
point of a rifle, compelled him to sur
render.
Then Basham was secured and brought
to Santa Rosa. When Murphy arrived at
Guerneville, on the way here, he learned
that number of citizens there had pro-
cured a rope and were about ready to
swing Basham from the bridge over Rus
sian River. Murphy avoided them and
came at once to Santa Rosa.
Basham served a term in San Quentin
for cutting man, and is wanted in Santa
Clara County for serious CRIME. He is
very desperate man, and is known all
over the State.

The Monetary Situation in Italy Con-
tinues to Grow Worse.
ROME, May 3l.-The monetary situation
grows worse. The scarcity of silver is
paralyzing trade, and the revival of forced
paper currency is believed to be in
evitable.
The Parliamentary Commission to in
vestigate the reported completely of Ital-
ian Senators and Deputies in scandals re-
lating to the Banca Romano and other
financial institutions, has resigned, on
the ground that the Chamber of Deputies
made valid the election of Aguglia, an
Opposition Deputy, contrary to the ad-
vice of the commission. The weakness of
the newly constituted Cabinet is aggra-
waited by this resignation.
The report Of the Committee of Depu-
ties on the banking crisis has been pub
lished. Its recommendations differ ma
terially from the provisions of the
Government bill on the same subject,
While the bill provides for the liquida-
ton of the Banca Romano through the
Banca Italia, to be organized for the pur-
pose, and the payment Of 45O on every
1000 lire share Of the Banca Romano
stock, the committee advises liquidation
merely, without any payments whatever
to the shareholders. The committee adds
that the banks issue ought to be pro-
hibited from dealing in land, and that the
Deputies should be forbidden to hold any
post, gratuitous or otherwise in connec-
ton with such banks.

CARSON, May 3l.-There is war in the
Buckeye Mining District. in the Black
Horse claim. Some thirty shots had
been fired, sixteen at Arthur G. Roy
croft, riddling his cabin. He escaped un-
harmed. Seven shots were fired at Tom
Roycroft and the balance at anybody in
sight. Pete Millich, while sneaking on
Roycroft's cabin, was shot through the
coat in the left side, the ball just grazing
the flesh.
Henry Morrison. who walked to Car
son, thirty miles, blistering his feet ter
ribly, says: 81 was in the mine with
George Jaqua and did not expect an as
sault. Three men-Pete Millich, Bob
and viii Trimmer-approached the cut
with cooked rifles and said: You fellows
leave this claim at once. We have come
to take possession None of us were
armed. except with picks. We parleyed
as long as possible, but finally the Jump
ers became desperate and ordered us to
move at once or we would be packed out.
l insisted upon going TO my cabin, which
considered my home, but Mellich
showed me ahead and ordered me over
the line. Three others of the Black
Horse men meanwhile were driven off in
another direction. and when all had left
was taken back to my cabin, accompa-
MED by two guards, armed with Win
chesters, where was allowed to change
my gum boots for leather boots before l
walked back to Carson. 1 found the
cabin riddled with bullets fired at Ar
thur Roycroft, who had also been driven
off with the Chinese cook. About twenty
men now have possession of our mine.
and warrants have been issued for sew
eral arrests. Two armed men on horse
back followed myself and George Jaqua
three miles from the mine to be sure we
had left.''
1t is not known whether anyone was
injured, but further trouble is expected.
The owners of Black Horse say they will
fight for the claim, which is considered
their own property according to law.
There is great difference of opinion in the
legal point.

RICHMOND tVa.l, May 31.-Jeff Davis
funeral train arrived here at 3 o'clock this
morning. An hour before the arrival the
artillery began firing salutes and con-
tinued till the remains rested in the Capt.
tol. They were escorted from the denot
by r. E. Lee Camp and the First Virginia
Regiment.
Winnie Davis and the rest of the fam
lily went to the hotel where Mrs. Davis is
stopping, having arrived last night from
New York.
The reinterment ceremonies attracted
to the city one of the largest crowds ever
seen here.
The decorations in the rotunda of the
Capitol, where the remains lay in state
as well as elsewhere in the city, were
simple, but impressive. Black and white
are the prevailing colors.
A continuous stream of people passed
through the room in which the coffin lay
all morning. Five thousand school chill
dren viewed the casket, each dropping a
flower on it. By this time the mass Of
flowers on and around the casket
amounted to several wagon loads.
At $3.50 P. NJ. the body was removed to a
caisson drawn by six white horses capari-
soned in black, and, with a big military
and civic escort. the long line of march
was taken up for Hollywood. John b.
Gordon, Chief Marshal, and a staff OF
some fifty prominent Confederate officers,
headed the procession. Flowers were
strewn along the route in front Of the
catafalque, and the bells of town were
tolled while the procession was in pro-
gress.
On arriving at Hollywood Cemetery
the distinguished guests formed circle
about the grave. On a bluff to the right
of the grave the cavalry and artillery
were drawn up, and next came the in
fantry. Association after association of
Confederate Veterans formed a third
ring of large proportions. Outside this
circle was dense crowd of thousands
upon thousands.
The grave was lined at the head with a
Confederate national flag, at the foot with
a battle flag, and on the sides with broad
stripes of red and white, Confederate
coiors.
The band played a funeral dirge as
soon as everything was in readiness. and
a selection from the Scriptures was next
read. The hymn, "How Firm a Found
ation," was then sung by the assem- bIaee.
At the close DR.. Hoge offered prayer, and
Rev. Parten pronounced the benediction.
Immediately after the casket was lowered
into the grave. After the bugle signal
came the taps, and the infantry fired a
salute which announced the services
over. The column then moved to Get
tysburg Hill, where the annual memorial
services of the Ladies' Hollywood Asso-
citation took place.

PARIS, May 3l.-Sir Charles Russell
concluded his argument in behalf of tho
British case. before the Behring Sea Tri-
bunal to-day. He said this was the first
occasion upon which a nation claimed
property in free-swimming animals.
The contention was untenable. and it's
advance derogatory TO the freedom of the
seas. 1t was an eXtravagant and un-
founded pretension that international
law sanctioned the seizure and condem-
nation of vessels of a friendly power.
Sir Charles appealed to the tribunal to
declare that it could not make law. In
his peroration he dwelt upon the import
ance OF arbitration here submitted to by
the two great powers, one representing
the old world civilization, great in extent
OF domain and greater in long-enduring
traditions of liberty; the other, a young
but stalwart member of a family of ma
tions, great also in territory and almost
boundless in the resources, genius and
enterprise Of its people, and possessing
enormous powers for good in the future
of the human race. Their presence as
friendly litigants is a fact of great moral
significance, and their submission to arbi-
tration victory for peace, as the award
will be if it leaves the principles Of inter-
national law untouched.
Attorney-General Richard Webster fol-
lowed Sir Charles, substantially going
over the latter's arguments.

Coils P. Huntington. Henry Hart. Isaac
E. Gates, Calvin S. Brice, Samuel

Sage, George J. Gould and j. B. Houston.
The annual report was presented and ap-
proved.
The report of the operations of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company for the
year ending April 30, 1893, shows that the
| total earnings have been S4l1S,473 SO,
and the total expenses S4,175,2l4 81, leav-
ing net loss of S51, ,740 IS.
In a letter accompanying the report
President Gould says the unfavorable
showing was due in the first place to the
quarantine at Panama during the cholera
scare last autumn, and since the termina-
ton on February lst of the last contract
between the Pacific Mail and Panama
Railroad Company shut off almost en-
tlrely from any participation in business
between New York and American points
on the Pacific. This, of course, reduced
the earnings very heavily, while the re-
duction in expenses will only begin to
show from the present time, as the opera
| tions of the company's fleet could not be
reduced Immediately. Gould i'll closing
reiterates his determination of resigning
the Presidency, owing to the demands on
! his SINE from other corporations.
The Board of Directors will meet FRI
day and organize by the election of c. p.
