Sailors.
Special TO THE MoRSrSa CALI

Los ANGELES. May Ga special to the
Express from Redondo says that last night
conflict occurred between union and NON
union sailors at that point.
For some days the union sailors hays
been endeavorng to get the nom union sail
ors off the schooner Halycon. which is tied
up to the wharf, but with no success. Last
night number of union men from San
Pedro came to Redoudo to help the Re-
dondo union sailors kidnap the crew of tie
halycon.
CAPTAIN Price Of the Halcyon was made
aware OF the matter and had a constable
and several deputies on board the vessel.
The crew was also armed. The union men
appeared thirty strong and demanded that
the non-union men come ashore.
They refused and the union men then ell
deavofed to board the vessel, and when
Captain Rice emerged from the hatchway
tile attacking party fired at him and ordered

not believed that there will be any serious
trouble. The difficulty between the union

Pedro for several weeks.

RATHER CLOUDED.
Some Doubt About Holding the
Steamer Danube,

PoRTLAND, May 6.-There is some doubt
OF the Government being able 10 hold the
steamer Danube's officers liable for over
crowding. as the law is somewhat clouded
in respect to the meaning of Contiguous
territory" Vancouver Island is separated
from the United States by wide strait.
The enormous number of false certificates
held by Chinese on the Danube confirms
the long-circulated story of gigantic con-
spfracy organized in the Northwest to SNUG
gle coolies.
A Chlnaman died on board the steamer
Danube last night. He had been sick with
typhoid fever ever since the vessel had been
In port. Further sickness is expected if the
Chinese are confined on shipboard much
longer. Interpreter Richards Of San Fran
cisco arrived this morning 10 assist Col
lector Lotan in his investigations.

pleasure from the prospect Of visit from
his parents tomorrow.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.
Cleveland Wants the View of Con-
gresS on Silver.

WASHINGTON, Nay 6.-The announced
postponement of the monetary conference
until November is looked upon as affording
another indication of the Presidents pur-
pose to call Congress in extra session in the
early fall. 1t has been insisted upon by
some OF the European delegates to the con-
ference that a definite proposition on the
silver question should originate with the
United States. The assembling of Congress
in extra session In September will afford
time for the intentions of that body In re-
gard 10 the Sherman law and the silver
question generally TO be clearly made known
before the meeting of the conference 1t Is
thought quite possible that upon the action
of conditions may depend the question
whether the conference will reconvene. 1t
is now said Governor McCreary of Ken
tucky will be unable 10 continue to serve
uron the commission. He has been led to
this conclusion in part by the fact that Mrs.
McCreary's health will not permit her to
accompany him abroad.

Harris Was Condemned,

ALBANY, May 6-The report of Com

view of the testimony in the case. particu-
larly that part tending to prove that the
girl was confirmed morphine user. His
conclusion was as follows:
II am compelled to say that the careful
and conscientious discharge of my duty COM
pels my mind to the conclusion upon the
evidence before me that the deceased took
morphine incidentally as prescribed for her
and not otherwise"
