Killed in a Fight in II saloon That Was
Being Plundered.
OAKLAND, Cal, March 11.--An exciting
shooting atfray occurred in Oakland at four
o'clock this morning, in which burglar
was killed and a police officer fatally
wounded. At the hour named Officers Ely
and Cashin were passing Seventh and
Coulter streets, when they no.
tioed a light fash in ga
loon. They went to the door
and found it unlocked. Then the officers
entered. They had only crossed the thresh-
old when two burglars inside opened fire
on the officers. The policemen returned
fire and seven shots were exchanged. OH
Ger C,.shin cried. II am shotn' and fell to
the floor fatally wounded. One of the
burglars escaped through back window
and the other ran out of the doorway under
fire.
Ely devoted his attention to his brother
officer, aud an hour later Il track walker of
the Southern Pacific found the body of one
of the burglars lying on the track. He had
been shot in the back of the head and the
bullet pierced his brain. A kit of tools
carried by the burglars was found and was
almost complete one. They had commit
ted four burglarles during the night, and
wrecked one safe. The dead burglar was
identified at the morgue as William Gill
more. an ex-convics who served ten years
in Folsom prison for burglary. The seo-
ond burglar is supposed to be wounded and
in hiding.

Openly sold Their Votes.

GUTHRIE, q. L., March 1.-THE terrific
rial Legislature closed yesterday amid
scenes disRraceful in the extreme. During
most of the sixty days session the princi-
c,pal occupation engaged in by the leglsla-
tors has been quarrelling. In the hurry
and heat of the closing days it is said that
much of the legislation passed is SO badly
jumbled thae the territory lH worse off
thun it wGs before. During an at
tempt to repeal the anti-gambliug bill yes
terday panaemonlum rolGned supreme.
Members called each other liars. and at
times almost came to blows. Charges of
bribery were openly made and enough was
disclosed, ii is asserted. to show that
certain members had openly sold their
votes.

Treasury Appointments VIII Be Made in

Treasury Appointments Will Be Made in
"a Few Days.
WASHINGTON, March lit is announced
at the treasury department that several
treasury appointments will be sent to the
senate by the president Monday. The most
pressing subject, that Of building up the
gold reserve, having been accom- mplished for
the present at least, Secretary Carlisle has
turned his attention to the subject of offices.
His first move in this direction was to Sc
cure private room in the treasury depart
ment far removed from his Office where he
could work without being constantly in
terrupted by office seekers. The desire OF
the members of congress and applicants for
Office to see papers on file for POSITIONS has
retarded the work of the appointing di-
vision 30 much that Secretary Carlisle has
issued an order on the subject as follows:
a. The papers of one candidate cam
not be seen by another candidate; CD The
papers of any candidate can be seen by his
endorsere; (3.) The member of congress in
whose district the Office ia located may see
all the papers in the case; (4.) Unfayorable
papers nre not to be shown to either candi-
date or his endorsers but the member of
congress of the distte may see them.

be represented. and all those people who
are fortunate enough to be present on
this occasion, will probably witness the
Rrandest marine display that has ever
taken place. All the arrangements Of tho
parade will DO under tho immediate super
vision OF Rear Admiral Gherardi, of the u.
s. navy, who has prepared an elaborate
programme.
Bancroft Gherardi was born in Jack
son, La, November 10. 1882. He
entered the navy from Massa-
chusetts as midshipman, in 1886.
and served on the Ohio. OF the Pacific
squadron, till 1860, entering the naval
academy in 1852. He became master and
lieutenant in 1856. and at the beginning of
the civil war was on the Lancaster of the
Pscitio squadron. He was made Lieutenant
commander in 1865 and took part in the
engagement with Fort Macon in that yeal .
In 1868 GA he successfully commanded the
Runboat Chocorna and the steamer Port
Royal of tho west gulf blookadinQ squad
ron. In the latter vessel he took part in
the battle Of Mobile bay and distinguished
himself for GOODNESS and courage. He was
promoted to commander in 1866. to onptain
in 1874, and to commodore i'll 1884, and in
1886 served on the board of examiners for
promotion. In 1856 he was made COM

Chancellor Won Caprivi Declares the
Triumph of His Opponents
Of That Sort
The Government Will Stick to the
Army Bill to the
Very Last.
And Will Challenge tho Opposition to
Defeat 1t at u Plenary Meeting
OF the Keichstag.

BERLIN. March 11.-Once moro tho op-
ponents of the nrmy bill are jubilant. They
declare that the government sustained a
decisive defeat yesterday by the committee
rejecting essential clauses, but again Chan
cellor Won Caprivi responds that the result
of tho committee action will be negative
one. and it leaves the fate OF the bill un-
settled. He adds that even if majority
OF the committee finally refuse to compro.
mise the government will not cease to
struggle until it challenges the vote at
plennry sitting OF tho reichstag. Confidence
is expressed in official circles in the event
ual acceptance OF the bill. and cer-
tainty is expressed by their op-
ponents in defeat. 1t is part of a
game of bluff on either side. The
truth 10 the government realizes how Diff
fcult it will be to obtain any form of bill
worth having, and is maneuvering for
time, during which it hopes to take ad-
vantage Of the dissensions of the centrist
party to secure a small majority. Through
strategy President Won Levetson. who
acted in unison with tho chancellor, who
wants the discussion delayed. the motion
in regard to the return of the Jesuits to
Germany was postponed. Time is not yet
opportune for the government to declare
its intentions in the matter.
Negotiation with the vatican. although
almost hopeless, proceeds. During the dis
cussion of the war budget Herr Ahlwardt,
repeated amid chilling silences accusations
against the government for taking defective
Lowe rifles. During the same debate Herr
Richter asked whether the budget included
sums paid to newspapers for supporting the
army bill. Chancellor Won Caprivi indig-
nantly denied that single pfennig was SO
expended.
Latest developments In the agrarian
question are the governments proposals to
establish a chamber of agriculture. Agra
rian leaders eye the project aakance. On
the occasion of the Emperor Williams visit
to Rome, on the twenty-ffth anniver-
sary OF the marriage of the king and queen
Of Italy, he will observe the same Sformali-
ties in calling on the pope that character
lied his visit to the pope in 1888. No i'm
portance is attached to it, as 1t will simply
be courtesy audience.

her family refusing to talk. Kings brother.
John W. King. paymaster of the Missouri
Pacific. will provide for the interment of
the remains, probably in this city. Tho
dead man was at one time clerk in the
Wabash railway office here.
King gave up work soon after he was
married. and induced Mrs. King to sign
over all her property to him, as she says.
to give him foundation for credit in bus
mess which he never started. Trouble
al ose between tho couple, and last October
she filed suit for its return. The two
agreed to separate, and King transferred all
his property to his son, James V. S. Bar
rett. in trust for his mother. Mrs. King
was not to ask for any nlimony, and King
WAS to go away and never molest her. A
few days later he tried to cut his throat.
His life being saved, he was induced to go
to Denver, where he has been since.

strictly business basis.

laborers. under strict clvli service rule and
that order is to be continued in effect un-
Ger this administration. Secretary Her

ministered, as believe it to be- will con-
tinue it in force"

purpose of retaining the efficient employees
of the department without regard to poll
tlos. When changes become necessary he
will recognize the claims of party workers

LONDON. March 11.-To-dny Lady Blanche
continued her testimony in tho Howard De
Walden suits. She testified that before 60
ing to Bournemouth to gee her child she
staid at her residence in Yorkshire. Count
Jean De Madre was also there. but she did
not give him the name of the hotel at
which she proposed stopping. The count
had, perhaps, seen her off on the train Mt
Waterloo station. Count Joan dined with
her only once at Bournemouth. She had
not seen him since 1891. Lady Blanche
concluded her testimony and the case was
closed.
The jury after only few minutes deliber-
alton arrived at a verdict that Lady
Blanche was not guilty Of adultery and
that Lord Frederick Howard De Walden
was guilty of cruelty. Judge Jeune, III pur-
suance of thie verdict, therefore pronounced
his decision granting judicial separation to
Lady Blanche from her husband. Lord
