other night were considerably amazed at
seeing through the thick Jog the distinct
outlines OF small steamer. Being so
near the shore and among some of the
most dangerous rocks in this vicinity,
they came to the conclusion that the boat
was smuggler. The helmsman evil
IDENTIFY knew the ms and outs of the bay,
as no vessel could approach so near the
dangerous shore without being in great
peril No lights could be discerned by
the men on shore. She had evidently
been there some time, and as soon as the
men on shore were seen by those on the
steamer the vessel was put about and
made straight for the open sea. This is
the second occurrence OF this kind in
this neighborhood, as on the 2Sth Of
March last some railroad hands saw
what appeared by their description to
be the same boat that attempted landing
the other night. Monterey Bay is the best
harbor on the coast for smugglers, and
at times they have been captured here;
but since the fifty Cinnamon landed near
here by the Halcyon were taken into
custody the smugglers have been eau
tious. Some weeks ago several custom
house officials were at Pacific Grove, and
since then a close watch has been kept
by their orders, and some interesting
developments are looked for.

FENNIMORE CONVICTED.


The Ex-County Clerk Found Guilty of
EmbeZzlement.
PoRT TowNsEND,-W. F. Fennimore,
ex-County Clerk of Jefferson county, has
been convicted in the Superior Court of
embezzling s527.50. The jury recon-
mended that he receive the lowest sem
tence consistent with the law. One year
before he retired from office two local
banks refused to pay their taxes on ac-
count of their property being assessed at
an excessive valuation, and while the
matter was in adjudication paid to Fen
nimore the amount stated as tender
Subsequently the suit was decided in
favor of the banks, and Fennimore
turned the office over to the newly elected
County Clerk. The accused did not sur
render the money to his successor or the
County Treasurer. Such was the evil
dence adduced in the prosecution. The
defense offered no testimony except as
to Fennimore's previous good character
and reputation in the community, The
jury was out thirty minutes. Mr.. Fen
nimore has lived in jefferson county ten
years, and was a Deputy Collector OF
Customs from 1883 to 1888. In 1889 and
1890 he was elected County Clerk by
large maiorities, leading the head OF the
tickets by 200 or 800.

SENT TO STOCKTON.
Many witnesses Affirm Jake Rudolph :
Insanity.

SAN FRANCIsCo.-Jake Rudolph, who
attempted to kill the business manager
of the Chronicle on the 9TH instant, has
been committed to the Stockton Insane
ASYLUM as the result of the examine
ton before Superior Judge Levy and the
Insanity Commissioners. There was no
attempt to interpose a defense, and the
consensus OF testimony established be-
vond question that Rudolph was insane,
and that his mental condition was OF he
reditary origin. Chris Buckley testified
that he had known him for twenty years,
during the greater part OF which time
Rudolph had been his clerk and COM
panion. The ex-boss recalled the occa-
sional fits of melanchoia which over
came Rudolph, who had several times
threatened to kill others and then him
self. Buckley believed Rudolph was in
sane, and that his insanity had been
FASTENED and aggravated by domestic
troubles. Sam Rainey's knowledge of
Rudolph extended over many years,
and he personally believed that the man
was insane, as well as dangerous to the
community. J. B. Eliot, whom Rudolph
tried to shoot, testified that he did not
know the man and had never seen him
before the assault. Lemuel Rudolph,
brother of Jake, admitted the family
faint of madness, and confirmed the
statement that his father, mother and
sister were mentally irresponsible. Ex-
Coroner w. F. Garwood DR.. George
Franklin Shiels, DR.. J. ID. Wilson, Noah
Flood and DR.. ]. NJ. Bell testified that
they knew Jake Rudolph, and that they
believed he was insane. Rudolph was
accordingly committed to the asylum at
Stockton, with the provision that should
his reason be restored he must be turned
over to the San Francisco authorities for
trial upon the charge of assault with in
tent to commit murder.

The Propaganda has gathered all mate

TWO AGAINST ONE.


Decision Of the Court in IA mldWlnter
Fair Dispute.
SAN Francisco. The suit OF Conces-
sionaire c. F. Hall against the Midwin-
ter Fair management has been decided
in favor of the latter. Hall claimed that
in Chicago he bought the exclusive right
to exhibit gold and silver plating at the
Midwinter Fair. He paid $500 for the
privilege, and went to the further ex-
pense of fitting up 81, 300 booth. After
he was in working trim he discovered
that three other people at the fair were
in the same line OF usiness. Hall de-
manded that their pr vileges should be
revoked. The management refused to
do this, and Hall brought suit for an in
junction. The whole case rested on his
application papers. Hall said he had
been unable to get them from the man
agement. The management declared
that they were lost" In consequence
testimony had to be offered to show
what they contained. Hall swore they
granted him the exclusive" privilege,
and pointed to his receipt to show that
he would not have paid the money had
he not got an exclusive right. Messrs
de Young and Cornely swore that Hal
had not been granted the exclusive y
privilege. 1t was two against one. Judge
Murphy said that the preponderance o.
evidence was on the side of the Midwin'
ter Fair management and he must per
force give judgment in its favor.

On Their solution Will Depend the Flu

On Their solution Will Depend the Flu
ture of the Empire.
LoNDoN.-The Times comments edi-
torially on a series OF articles concerning
Canada, which it has published recently,
The writer says: 1T seems manifest
that OF the large problems, on the sue
cessful solution of which the future Of
the British Empire will depend, there
are very few which are not more or less
directly illustrated by Canadian expert
ence, and the probable solution that Ca
NADIA will find, whether for good or evil,
largely affects the organic structure OF
the empire. 1t is certain that the intiu-
ence of Canada on the international re-
lations of Great Britain and the United
States have tended more than anything
else to peaceful settlement by arbitra-
ton of questions which under less favor
able conditions might have proved in
tractable to diplomacy. 1t is not per
haps altogether fanciful to surmise the
beneficent results achieved in this direc-
ton. Possibly they will be the germ Of
future developments almost too vast and
far reaching for the political magma
ton of living men to conceive. What
may be the future of Canada relations to
the United States on the one hand and
to Great Britain on the other no man
can yet say, but none can doubt that the
problem here propounded is big with the
fate OF untold generations"

LITTLE ANNIE MOONEY.
Many Reasons to Believe That She is
Emily Freeman.

SAN FRANCIsCo.-The police ridicule
the story that Emily J. Freeman is the
missing Annie Mooney. Sergeant Haley,
who has had a hand in the investigation,
says anxiety and worry over the loss OF
his daughter has affected James Moon
ey's mind, and that for that reason his
identification of the girl is of no value.
1t goes without saying that this police
opinion is OF no real weight in determin-
ing the identity OF the girl, which is the
real question at issue. Mary Ounce, the
woman who is supposed to have abducted
little Annie Mooney, was in the city
about the time of the picnic at Belmont,
and she had the child in her possession
shortly after that event. The Freeman
girl was that child beyond possibility OF
question, and there are many circum-
stances, including the maudlin admis-
sions OF the old woman, which help out
the theory that Annie Mooney has been
/ found.

ASKS FOR DIVORCE.
The Parties Are Prominent, and Seusa-
tionalism is Promised.

SEArrLE.-A sensational divorce suit
was begun here the other day. The
plaintiff is Mrs. DR.. Rawson, cousin OF
Prince Yterbide of Mexico, with whom
she was formerly in love and with whom
she was recently received at Washington,
d. c., by Secretary Gresham. She is
supposed to have been Tilted by him,
and, meeting DR.. Rawson, who is very
handsome man, on train while she was
yet only II years old, she married him
after a six days courtship. They then
resided in Helena, Mont. Mrs. Rawson,
who is a lovely woman and now visiting in
California, asks to be excused from de-
failing the causes of the divorce, but al
leges that her husbands practices were
such that she could not live with him.
DIR. Rawson was recently in London, but
is now believed to be in New York.
What is known aside from the complaint
promises extraordinary revelations.

FIGHTING SMALLPOX.


Extra Precautions Taken by the Chicago
Authorities.
CHIcAGo.-Mayor Hopkins and Health
Commissioner Reynolds have issued a
joint proclamation requiring all persons
in the city who have not been vacci-
mated to have that operation performed
within ten days under penalty OF prose-
cution under city ordinance providing
a fine of not less than s. nor more than
$25 for failure. Those who cannot afford
to pay for vaccination will be treated
free. The Commissioner has put 100
men on the rolls. They consist mainly
of physicians and senior medical stu
dents, and will be used as vaccinators.
To the force OF men investigating daily
the sweat shops twenty-five others
were added, making the total force fifty.
The health officials have secured lum-
Der kiln in which to fumigate clothing.
This will be useful in the fumigation OF
clothing taken from "sweat shops" On
account OF the prevalence of the disease
the City Collector has temporarily re-
fused licenses to junk dealers.

AsToRIANs REJECT IT.


Decided Adversely.
AsToRIA.-The Stanton-C Campbell rail-
road proposition was considered by the
Astoria railroad subsidy committee and
decided upon adversely. The main OBJ
lection found was that it was proposed
to tie up the subsidy for twenty days,
and this in accordance with the previous
determination of the committee to enter
tain no offer other than one to complete
the road was rejected. Whether the
Stanton Campbell party will now retire
is a matter OF conjecture, although Mr..
Stanton stated before his departure for
Portland that he would abandon the en-
terprise for good. Many of his friends
here, however, claim that he will again
be in the field with an amended propo-
sition in the course of two or three
weeks. The belief is gaining ground that
the Union Pacific will build the river
road this summer, and various rumors
to that effect, all apparently well found
ed, are current. The sentiment of the
majority of the property owners is ia
vorable to Messrs. Baxter and Dicken-
son, in whose good faith and ability to
bring the matter to a successful issue
there is pretty general confidence.

JuEglcr's Tricks.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
CinquevallI. the French Juggler, says that
1t is hard to tell which is his most difficult
trick. LAS usual thing" he goes on.
the easiest trick Is the most snowy and
gets the most applause, while some very
difficult feat will not get hand as We
say. For instance, the trick of throwing q
potato in the air, dividing 1T with one
stroke of the knife and then catching the
two halves, one on the fork and one on the
knife, is perhaps the most difficult, and
took me nearly two years to learn. 1t is
so quickly DONE however, and apparently
so easy, that an audience cannot appre-
Ciate it before 1t is over. Let me purposely
drop the potato and catch 1t on the knife
blade just as it IS only an inch from the
floor, and they burst into applause. 1t is
SO unexpected.
Two others of my most difficult tricks,
one, balancing a cigar on top of another
on my forehead and tossing It from there
so that 1t turns over once and falls point
first into a cigar holder in my mouth; the
other, twirling a hoop in my right hand
with a glass Of water balanced inside its
rim, and passing two balls through IT with
my left hand. have been watched with
stolid Indifference by an audience that went
wild over juggling two plates in the air,
one OF the simplest tricks"

Every time the sermon is preached these
