Before beginning this letter let me-
briefly announce that my alliance vita
the Princess Angelina, eldest daughter
Of King Seattle, emperor OF Puget
sound and duke OF Puyallup, has been
broken of.
This is naturally private matter,
but so many conflicting reports are
abroad regarding it that am compoll-

or suffer from gsrbled accounts now at

Since the SAD story OF the Princess

EsTEE WILL BE GovERNoR.
A Democratic Trick That Did Not Avail
In California.

The Republicans OF California have been
10th to accept as q fact that their candi-
date for governor. Estee, had been beaten,
notwithstanding the reports sent in pur-
porting to be returns from all the outlying
districts. 1t was discovered yesterday
that the returns IS sent in were iraudu-
lent figures made up BY INSCRIPTIONS per-
sons interested in Budd's election. The
trick Was successful for nearly two days,
and Budd has been receiving congratuia-
tons which in tact belong to Mr. Estee, as
the official returns from q number of out
lying districts which at first gave a plural
ity to Budd are found to be in favor of
Estee, the total of which will give Estee
plurality that makes certain mis- election.

PRENDERGAsr GUILTY.
End of the Trial of the Murderer of Car
ter Harrison.

End of the Trial of the Murderer of Car
ter Harrison.
Z CHICAGO, Dec, 30.-The jury in the case
Of Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor
Harrison, found the prisoner guilty yes
terday afternoon, and recommended that
he be hanged.
| The verdict produced profound sensa-
ton in the courtroom. Prendergast was
brought into court and heard his doom.
He was apparently almost paralyzed with
fear, and stood dazed and pallid until q
bailiff led him to a chair.
When Clerk Fitzgerald arose to read
the finding OF the jury, the prisoner stood
clutching the back of a chair, eyeing him
with the most intense @gerness. His
long, bony fingers nervously clasped and
unclasped the back of the chair, his
knees trembled violently, his face was
flushed, and the spiteful looking mouth
opened and closed as though he would
say something but lacked the power to
speak.
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant,
Patrick Eugene John Prendergast, guilty
of murder in manner and form as charged
in the Indictment, and fix the penalty at
death"
F1tzgerald's voice, clear and calm, read
out the finding, and died away with
slight emphasis on the final word.
Then Prendergast revealed himself the
utter coward. His face turned pale, he
opened his mouth to speak, but only
faint murmur came from between his hot
and quivering lips.
He moved slightly and would have
fallen to the floor but for the assistance of
bailiff. When the jury was polled he
listened gFith-aviditE to each and every
answer to Judge Brentano 8 question:
"Was this and is this now your verdict?"
''It is, said Foreman Jacob Sutter, and
sit is' repeated every other juror, and
hope and the last vestige of courage faded
utterly in Prendergast's breast. He was
half led, half carried back to his cell,
where, refusing to speak, he threw him
self upon his bunk in the attempt to hide
from his fellow-prisoners, whose express
sions OF satisfaction over the verdict were
more emphatic than graceful, and more
sincere than polite.
