PARIS AND COMPANTA.


The American liner Paris, 20 ueen of
the Seas" pulled out out of her dock at
nine o'clock this morning, promptly
on time, and was followed twenty
minutes later, by the palatial Cuharder,
Campania. which is expected by her
owners to wrest from the Paris the proud
Iaurels she has held against all comers
for SO many months.
The Paris escorted her rival down the
BAY and out OF the Hook with seeming
courtesy. but did not materially increase
the gap between them. The Paris cleared
Sandy Hook aud discharged her pilot
at 1855 and the Campania at 11:13.
The eastern record to Queenstown, 5
days, 10 hours aud SO minutes, is held by
the New York, and the western record, 5
days. IA hours and "a minutes by the
Paris.
The Cam pania is scommended by Cap
tain w. II. Blaines, formerly commander
of the Etruria. Both commanders
treat the matter of race with
the usual nonchalance cnaracteris-
tic of their calling, but it is
very generally believed that the two ves-
sells will do some pretty lively sprinting
between here and the outposts of the
mother country.
Both vessels take out large number
of passengers. On the Paris are Lieu
tenant Governor Streetan and Mrs.
Streetan and I2naus Paderewski.

HAPLESS CAPTAIN IDA.

Salvation L assie Murdered BY the Lover
She Would Not Marry.
SEATTLE, WASH, May g. 1S93..-A Spokane
spe ecial says:-Captain Ida Bennett of the
Salvation Army was murdered yesterday
afternoon at three o'clock by her lover,
Daniel W. Hoskins. He fired TWO shots
into her heart and then turned his gun
aud fired two shots into his own head. In
less than three uinutes after the quar- rel
started both lay dead on the floor of the
Salvation Army barracks. The murderer's
work was SO quickly ACCOMPLISHED rhat
interference on the part Of those present
was impossible.
Hoskins had been persistent In his at
tentions to Captain Ida Bennett for the
last two months. AT first she encouraged
him to come and see her and it is be-
of the society forbidding her to marry
the Army. He would not join the
Army, but WAS persistent in his
appeals that she should marry him.
Lately he had become'moody, and at times
assumed so desperate an air that mem-
bers believed him to be insane. Notwith-
standing this Hoskins had insisted that
Captain Bennett should desert the army
and marry him. He went TO the barracks
yesterday to get his final answer. He
went into the hall with his hand under
MS coPIGallss SayluR: d uSI ke6p stllls i
am not going to hurt any of you."
A moment later he jumed on bench
and shouted:-"1t anyone cries TO get out
of the room rll kill him."
Then he jumped down and walked to
the little room at the left of the stage.
The door opened and Captain Bennett
came out. After talking a few minutes
he pointed the pistol at her, crying:-
You wronged me and you know it,
and fired.
She reeled backward and he fred
again, both bullets reaching her heart.
He then turned and fired the two bullets
through his own brain.
Captain Benuetg was native of San
Bernardo aud had been c6nnected with
the Salvation Army for about two years.
She was widely known oyer the Pacific
coast and was beloved by ali members Of
the army.
Hoskins came here several years ago
from Arkansas, where he had been a
Sheriff and Deputy United States Mar

age. Since coming to Washington he had

BAD VETERAN VERNIMMER.
His Wife and Children Get Warrants
III

His Wife and Children Get Warrants
for His Arrest.
Peter Vernimmer, lives at No. 144
Franklin street, and is noted for the
dozens of dead and half starved dogs
which he keeps on the premises. The
CANNES excite the anger OF the residents
nearby by their continuous bowling. and
every time any one can get shot ar the
dogs, the opportunity is not wasted.
But Peter has got himself into bad
fix. and when a warrant is served on him
this afternoon by constable authorized
by Justice Peter Beck. the dogs will
probably decrease in numbers, as good
chance will be afforded for the anxious
gupners to make away with the Offensive
CANNES.
Louise, his wife, in her affidavit accuses
Peter of several things. The affidavit says
that on yesterday Peter came home from
some expedition to store. and wanted
dinner Dinner was not thoroughly
cooked. and Mrs. Vernimmen told Peter
that if he wanted raw dinner that he
could have it. He grew angry with her at
this. and picked up carving knife on the @
table, making jag at her throat. He
missed his shot and Mrs. Vernimmer fled
for her life. Peter pursued her, but she
managed to evade him. He watched for
her. and when she came out OF room,
made another dash at her with the knife
He elected her from the house, and she
went directly to Justice Beck. She
thought it dangerous TO return home. and
went to her aunt's house in the lower
part of the city, Justice Beck would not
say where. She wants TO draw up ar
ticles of separation, as she considers him
q dangerous partner.
She told the Justice that her husband
never did stroke of work. He was wait
ipg, she said, for pension amounting to
$500 which he will receive sometime in
The future. The pension he expected to
squander. Two sous of theirs will issue
a second warrant on Vernimmer charging
him with having caused his daughter
Louise, who is twenGy-four years old, and
exceedingly pretty, to go insane. They
charge that Vernimmer, by his cruel ac-
tions towards the delicate girl caused the
girls insanity. The latter is now under
the care of a doctor. and is in danger
GUS condition.
Vernimmer could not be found this
morning by NEWS reporter. Several of
the neigbbors say they are going to dig
up the whole back yard and look for
some silver which they say Vernimmer
has buried there. The reporter Wis
tied the yard this morning and saw the
famished dogs running around. Several
of their dead comrades were lying on the
ground, no obsequies having been held
over them, The neighboTs will inter
them as soon as they can get at the yard.
over which Vernimmer keeps a strict
watch.

Violence May Be Opposed to the En-
forcement of the Geary Law.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 6. 1898. .-Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue John Quinn. in
an interview in regard to the Chinese
registration law says:-"The Chinese are
acting very sullenly about this law. They
have refused to register and seem
TO think no actual steps can be taken
to remove them. In fact, they laugh
at the idea of the law going into ELECT.
They seem to think that the Chinese
Government will never permit its people
to be removed from the United States.
The Chinese have stated to ME that If the
United States insisted upon their depar-
ture o fleet of Chinese battle
ships may be expected at
the Golden Gate at any moment.
This indicates that among the lower
class of coolies therc exists q determine
ton to resist the law and that they ex-
pect their government to go TO war II
necessary TO keep them in this country.
If violence is not opposed to the officers
when they are called upon to perform
their duty, II the law is declared consui-
tutional, l shall be much surprised"
Inquiry in Chinatown shows that the
fears of Collector Quinn are we'll ground
ed There exists among the Chinese a
most sullen disposition, which has been
inflamed by circulars issued by the Six
Companies. Every circular issued
has contained advice to the Chinese
to resist the law. Yesterday
another circular was issued calling upon
the Chinese TO stand firmly on the ground
they had taken and to prepare for a
vigorous defense. AT the office of the
Six Companies it was stated that this
simply meant that the Chinese were not
to become panicstricken to register on the
last day, but were able to contribute
their quota TO hire lawyers to resist the
