ATTORNEYS ARE APPOINTED.
Governor Markham Thinks the
Estate Has EScheated.
WOULD SWELL SCHOOL FUNDS.
FlOrence's Lawyer Is Disqualified,
but He Thinks There Is No
Ground for Action.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.-GovernDr Mark
ham to-day authorized the law firm of
Estee & Miller of San Francisco TO insti-
tute legal proceedings for the purpose of
having the property of the late Thomas
Fl. Blythe escheat to the State Govern
ment.
The Governor is of the opinion that the
title to the property of Blythe has failed
for want of heirs or next Of kin. aud for
that reason has reverted 10 the State.
The statute provides that the Attorney
General shall act in all such cases, and also
gives him authority to select counsel.
But as Attorney General Hart is attorney
and counsel for Florence Blythe Hinckly,
who claims to be sole heir and next of kin
of Thomas II. Blythe, deceased, the At
torney-General is disqualified from acting.
1t therefore devoves upon the Governor
to select attorneys. The estate, which is
of the value OF about S4,O 900, and has an
annual income of 100000. if Governor
Markham's theory is correct. would es-
cheat to the State and the proceeds would
become part of the common school fund of
the State, thus making it the most i'm
portant suit, so far as the State is con-
cerned, that has ever been Instituted since
its existence

NO FURTHER INTERFERENCE.
The Governor Refuses to Com

DAY OF EXECUTION VERY NEAR.
The Pale-FaCed Slayer of Collins
Says He Was Led to Expect
Executive Clemency.

SACRAMENTO. Jan. 16.-Governor Mark
ham to-day decided that he will not COM
mute the sentence of John McNuIty. SEN
fenced TO be hanged on the Goth inst. in
San Francisco for the murder of John
Collins, committed nearly six years ago.
This is the celebrated case that has been
to the Supreme Court of this State on two
different occasions and also to the Supreme
Court Of the United States, and in which
Sheriff Laumeister at one time refused to
execute McNulty because of certain legal
technicalities. Governor Waterman once
and Governor Markham on three different
times heretofore had refused favorable ac-
tiOn. The first three applications were based
entirely on the grounds of the insanity of
the prisoner. which was also the defense
at the trial.
After Governor Markham's second re-
fusal McNulty changed his tactics and
wrote "a long communication to The Gov
ern0r, in which he confessed that bis plea
OF insanity had been false, and then set up
a claim that be shot Collins in sef-de-
fense, offering many affidavits of parties
whom he claimed had been at sea and had
no chance TO testify at the trial. The
Governor refused this application on Au-
gust 10, 1892, and it was at this time
that the Sher # refused to execute Nc
Nulty, and again the case went 20 the Su-
preme Court. The judgment of the lower
court had. however, been affirmed in each
instance.
Governor Markham then took up the
case from its incipieDcy and gave 1t con-
sideration the same as if he had never be-
fore decided it, even obtaining evidence at
the preliminary examination. and after a
very careful search. continuing over a
period of perhaps sixty days. he has again
refused to commute the sentence on the
ground that MeNulty was perfectly sane
ana aware OF what he was doing al the
time of the killing; that he did not shoot
Collins in self-defense, and that he was
not justified in any re pect In taking the
life of human being as he did that Of his
victim.

YET HE LOVES JOHN.
Olney's Opinions Ali Favorable
to the Chinese.
Power Given Under His Latest to
Chinese Consuls in This
Country.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The Secretary
of the Treasury recently requested from
the Attorney General an opinion as to
whether the consular officers of China
stationed in foreign countries can properly
certify the statements which certificates
are required TO set forth. The Attorney
General holds that the Identification of a
Chinese person should be evidenced by a
certificate issued by the Government OF
which he may be subject. The Govern
ment can act, he holds. in the Issuance of
such certificates only through or by its
officers and agents, and If il chooses to
select consular officers in foreign countries
as such officers and agents It has a right so
10 do. THIS opinion, with the previous
one of the Attorney-GeneTal that China
men en- route to other countries can pass in
transit through the United States, will
hinder the enforcement of the Chinese
exclusion act.

the retirement of Bayard from the Britis b

down in heap and covered the track Tor
distance of $50 feet ranging in depth
from ten to gfteen feet. The slide is very
extensive, reaching up the mountain SIDE
for quarter of mile. The late rains
have been the heaviest ever known in this
country. and the soil. which is of a soft.
elayish Kind. became so saturated that the
whole mountainside became mass of mud
ana Slowly moved nearer the track until
the massive heap piled down.
A force of fifty men are engaged in
clearing the debris. A special from
Colfax brought a crew of men. At present
everything available is being done to
clear the track. Three large streams of
wafer were turned from Cedar Creek ditch
ana used in sluicing away the mass.
FROM present indications the track will be
cleared tomorrow some time. Should the
great mass keep sliding as it is being
cleared from the tracks it is hard 10 tell

EUREKA, Jan. 16-The greatest storm
of the season commenced in this section
Saturday afternoon. The wind blew
gale from the south. The storm was VIC
lent and the steamer Pomona made but
sixty miles on the outward course in ten
hours. In the evening the rain began to
fall in torrents. and swollen streams and
washouts in this section testify the storm
~ as severe in the extreme. The dam
age in Eel River Valley was great. A
number of farms were almost entirely IN

continued.
Fears are entertained for the safety of
residents on Eel River Island. Reports
to-day state number of houses on the
island are under water. The families in
few cases are compelled to live in the
second story of the houses. In fact
dreadful state of affairs exists in Eel River
Valley. Reports to-day state the entire
valley is sheet of water. Several miles
from the river bed the lands are submerged
to a depth of eight feet. a number of
ranches. houses and barns are surrounded
by water and considerable stock perished.

THE MOUNTAIN CAME.
AD Immense Landslide Near Towles
Station.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.-About noon to-
day an Immense landslide occurred be-
tween Alta and Towles station on the
road to the mountains. A mountain fifty
or sixty feet wide, and in its downward
grade covering 800 feet. slid upon the rail-
road track between the stations named.
The great body of earth came down like
an immense glacier. moving at the rate of
sixty feet an hour. Its downward course
was noticed by persons in the vicinity for
many hours before the mountain finally
lodged at the base of the grade. Stalwart
pines moved with the mass OF earth, keep
ing their upright positions all :be way
down. When the branches of the pines
struck the telegraph wires they were
Ieyeled along with the poles and buried be-
meath the mountain side. Colonel Wright
of the railroad company at once ordered
out q large force of men to relieve the
track Of its burden of earth and trees, IL
Is expected that it will take all night 10
clear the track. Meanwhile 1t is not known
how the landslide will affect the moye-
ment of trains. This is the first slide oc
curing in the vicinity for many years.

for a Communication.
The shadow OF the gallOws that has
hung over McNulty became darBer than
ever yesterday afternoon, and for the frs
time since his conviction the prisoner ap-
parently abandoned hope. The following
telegram was received in this city yester-
day morning and was shown 10 the pale
faced prisoner, who was pacing the cor
ridor of the County Jail at he time:
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 16.-Posltive and reliable
information comes from the CAPITOL that Gov
eTnor Markham has decided that McNulty
must hang. His decision VIII be formally

lion Of McNulty, unless the law providing
that all prisoners sentenced to be hanged
shall be executed in State prison be re-
pealed.
McNulty displayed signs of deep de-
spondency while discussing the Governors
action last night. With forced smile he
said: This is life in the far West. GOD
knows that have suffered as no man has
suffered, and after all these years of walt
ing am told that the Governor will not
help NE. Why did he reprieve me fol
thirty days and prolong my torture?
II was led TO believe that he would
commute my sentence or perhaps pardon
me. This was not said to my friends in sc
many words, but when the reprieve came
l was told TO hope.
1T is strange that petition signed by
Archbishop Riordan. by Senators Perkin:
and White, by nine of the twelve juror:
| who convicted me and by 5000 others
should have no effect on the Governor. Say
for me that l thank all who tried to save
my life. and please don't say anything
harsh about me"
Then the pale face faded back into the
deep shadows of the cell.
