FRESNO, March 2S.-The proceedings in
the Heath trial were to-day clear of sensa-
tions. The defense seem only to be try
ing to impeach the important testimony
of the prosecution.
John Henry and the foreman of Curtis
vineyard testified that on the day 5. s.
Culver claims Heath made such threats
against him Culver. just after the muir
der, that Heath was at that time on the
Curtis vineyard.
Joe Trojanari, barkeeper at the Mon
arch Saloon, denies that Heath was in that
saloon on the morning McWhirter was
murdered, but says he was there on the
morning Albert Lee was murdered.
Ex-Sheriff J. NJ. Hensley heard shots
on the morning of the murder, about 3
o'clock, and came down to the jail, think
ing an attempt had been made to liberate
George Sontag. Later he proceeded down
town. When opposite the Monarch Sa-
loon a carriage drove up to the saloon.
From this SeaWard and two men stepped
out with some fowls i'll a sack under their
arms. Later Seaward said he knew some
suspicious characters who might have
committed the murder. but that no names
were given.
Mike Murray, barkeeper at Monag
hams saloon, was put on the stand TO
contradict Deputy Sheriff Peck's testi-
mOny in regard to seeing Heath in that
saloon on the night of the murder with a
pistol. Murray remembered seeing
neither Heath nor Peck at the saloon.
He did not remember either whether he
was on the night watch that night or not.

TROUBLE LOOKED FOR.
Why Admiral Walker Was Ordered to
Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Secretary
Gresham undoubted alluded to the con-
summation of a rather startling plot
which has been disclosed while Mr..
Davies, the guardian of Princess kai-
laani, has been in Washington. This
plan contemplates the restoration
of the Queen with the assistance
of England, aud a British pro-
tectorate in the Hawaiian Islands
Mr.. Davies is a thorough Englishman,
his sympathies are entirely with Great
Britain, and he now goes to represent her
fallen majesty at the court of st. James in
the affair.
The plan is to have the Queen proclaim
sovereignty. and then proceed at once to
the British Legation, which is immedi-
ately across the street from the palace in
which she now resides, and there apply
for protection on the pretense that
her life is in danger. Mr.. Wood
house, the British Minister, will
recognize her as Queen and give
her the protection she desires. 1t is
undoubtedly in connection with this
affair that Mr.. Davies has visited Wash
ington, and he has given due notice of
the intentions of her majesty to the Pres
ident and Secretary Of State.

The Governments Project for Elect
oral Reform Rejected.
vienna, March 28.-At the Socialistic
Congress here to-day aresolution in favor
of the people ultimately declaring a gem
eral strike was adopted. Resolutions
were adopted declining to accept the Cow
ernments project for electoral reform,
and urging that every means be em-
ployed to obtain universal suffrage. The
congress decided to support the demand
of the Ministers that eight hours consti-
tuted a legal days work. A proposal
was made that in the event of a general
strike being inaugul ated, workingmen
refuse To pay rent. After some argument
it was rejected. Reasons were submitted
by DR.. Adler, leaving open the questions
of why and how general strike should
be effected. DIR. Adler pointed out the
extreme danger of strikes unless there
was absolute certainty of success. He
reminded his hearers that the troops in
the large cities would make short work
of any popular rising. DIR. Adler con-
cluded by declaring he was convinced
such an extreme measure as a popular
rising would not be required TO secure
universal suffrage.

Wild Rush tn Cover Among Shorts at
Chicago.
CHICAGO, March 2S.-Wheat jumped
three cents to-day on the prospects of the
cold wave. The scare started wild rush
to cover among the shorts, and with
heavy trading the pit was a scene of wild
confusion. May started only higher
than last nights close at 50s; but the cold
wave scare took possession of the crowd
almost at once, and the price went
up by long jumps till 1t touched
5l4. At that point the longs began to
take profits in droves, and the offerings
soon caused the prices to sag off TO 50g,
the market becoming quiet and steady at
about those figures.
The boom to-day means u great deal to
the holders of wheat. They have been
forced TO endure tremendous shrinkage
in values and pay for carrying the prop
erty besides. The decline in price was
nearly twenty cents bushel and the car
rying charges were fifteen to twenty cents
bushel, making total Of thirty-five to
forty cents a bushel. which was borne by
the bull spectators. On local stocks
alone this loss amounts to between 81, ,000,-
600 and SS,00o,000. The advance to-day
carries the cash price up over five cents
buShel. Stocks OF wheat in Chicago
warehouses and loaded in vessels in the
river approximate $4,000, 900 bushels. A
five-cent rally, therefore. means differ
ence Of 81 ,250,000 on the cash grain alone
to. the bulls. The amount OF wheat COW
cred to-day was heavy, possibly 10000 900
bushels, but those who are familiar with
the trade laugh at the claim made in GER
tain quarters that the shorts were all run
in on to-day's bulge. 1t would take
week of steady buying to liquidate such
a terrific short interest as this market has
developed as d result of six months trad
ing in the May option.

sued an address last evening declaring
smallpox to be epidemic in Brooklyn, as
well as in New York. DR.. Emery calls
upon all classes of people to submit to
vaccination, and declares that unless his
advice is followed the ravages OF the dis
ease will be something to be dreaded.
DR.. Emery then goes on TO say that he is
convinced that scores of cases are being
concealed, especially in the tenement dis
tricts.
Advices from New England show that
many cities in that section are preparing
to enforce quarantine against New York
and Brooklyn. Hundreds of families are
quietly leaving town to escape danger,
and if this scare continues the exodus
will be similar to those seen in the South
when yellow jack is abroad.

Los ANGELES, March Is. - Sheriff
Moore did not depart for the East last
night, as he intended, with August
Cronkhite, the embezzling County Treas
urer from Warren County, Ind. The
delay resulted through failure to secure
the necessary requisition papers from
Sacramento. A sad scene occurred in
the police station here this morning when
Cronkhite was taken from his cell and
confronted by his wife and little boy,
who had journeyed hither from Indiana,
concealing their identity, and also hoping
to be met at the depot by the husband
and father. They knew nothing of the
arrest until they had waited several hours
IN vain. Then Mrs. Cronkhite made
some cautious inquiries and learned the
distressing truth. She then made herself
known to the Chief of Police, and the
reunion that followed was one of the sad
dest ever seen in the City Prison. The
wife and little boy will accompany Sher-
if Moore and his prisoner back to Indi-

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. CASE.
The Plaintiffs old Lover on the Wit
ness stand.

ness stand.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The surprise
of the Pollard -Breckinridge trial to-day
was the unexpected appearance of Miss
Pollard's old lover, Rankin Resell, a
Kentucky sehoolmaster. His deposition
had been read in the case, but to make his
testimony doubly sure he appeared in
person, and no sooner had he taken the
stand than Madeline Pollard glided iii for
the first time this week from the office of
her attorney across the street, where she
was to be sent Tor when her presence was
desired. Probably she will be in court
tomorrow 10 lace her Silver-haired ac-
cuser, tor the attorneys declare there Will
be positively no longer postponement
OF the testimony OF the principal in the
case, and that Colonel Breckenridge will
take the stand without fail in the course
OF the day.
Most OF the testimony to-day was in
the form of dispositions, and much OF 1t
was OF character which can only be
published III eXpurgation. The deposit
tions regarding which Judge Bradley had
expressed his regret that they could not
be excluded on general principles, were
recited, and the justification OF the scath-
ing comments on them was self-evident.
Some of the language employed by
Hiram Kaufman and John Brandt,
would hardly be tolerated in a well-regu-
lated barroom. These gentlemen adj
mitted, in matter-of-tact way, their ten
denotes toward habitual drunkenness and
marital intidelity. and the court admitted
their statements uneXpurged, as he re-
marked in conversation, that the jury
might judge OF the characters OF the wit
neSseS.
Colonel Breckinridge's private secre-
tary was one of the witnesses of the day,
and another was Colonel Hay, the best
known man in Washington and incident
ally an expert on penmanship, who was
subjected to further cross-eXamination
upon the principles employed in detect
ing forgeries. 1t looks as if hard fight
had been rrecipitated over that black
bOrdered letter which was made public
yesterday, exclusively by the Associated
Press.
The case of the defense is drawing to
close with the appearance OF Colonel
Breckinridge, whose testimony is ex-
pected to occupy at least three days-as
long time as Miss Pollard was on the
stand. Then there will be rebuttal for an
indefinite period, as Miss Pollard will
take the stand again and witnesses have
been summoned from Kentucky.
