WALTER GUY FURNALD.

Made for His Pardon,

probably an Application Win be
Made for His Pardon.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-The latest de-
velopment in tie sensational diamond
robbery case in which Walter Guy Fur
maid figured as the main actor is the
probability of an application being made
to Governor Markham for q pardon.
Furnald was convicted by a jury in
Judge Murphy's court last March, and
was sentenced to three years. imprison-
| lnent at Folsom. A petition was drawn
up by his attorney, Carroll Cook, last
month, and forwarded to FurnaId TO OBJ
tain his signature. No answer has as
yet been received, and it is believed that
the document is in the hands of Mrs.
Garner, the woman who gained some
notorlety as a witness in behalf OF the
defense. She was at that time employed
at the Mint, and was discharged upon
FurnaldS conviction. Her whereabouts
nave since been mystery, and as far as
can be ascertalned she Is said to be en-
gagged in circulating a petition among
EurnalGs sympathiZers in Los Angeles.
Carroll Cook processes entire ignorance
as to what disposition his client has made
OF the petition, and claims to have for
gotten the grounds upon which the ap-
pIIcaEon was based.

CUSTODY OF SCHOOL FUNDS.

The Supreme Court Decides That They
Belong to the County Treasurer.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-The Supreme
Court has decided that the custody OF
State and county school funds belongs to
the County Treasurer, and not to the
City Treasurer, as the legislative amend
ment of 1893 decreed. The Supreme
Court decided that the Legislature ex-
ceeded its power in making such amend
ments to former Acts.
The case in point was that of Louis
Bruch, principal in the public schools
OF San Jose, who asked for a writ of man
date on the refusal of the City Treasurer
to pay him his salary as City School
superintendent. Treasurer Colon bet be-
ueved that he was not tho proper person
TO uay such demands.
The courts opinion, written by Conn
missioner Jackson Temple and concurred
in by the court, closes with the following
words: Il think that the law authorizing
the City Treasurer to have the custody OF
State and county school moneys is in
valid, because it violates the REQ uirenent
of uniformity and the provisions prohib-
iting special and local laws in the man
apenent of the common schools On this
ground, therefore, l aln of the opinion
that the writ of mandate should be de-
nied.'

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The English news
papers have apparently recovered from
the scare caused by the hasty calling of the
Cabinet Council, The afternoon papers
are now unanimous in expressing the
opinion that there is not the slightest
cause of anxiety as to serious dispute
with France. 1t seems the Cabinet Cour-
Gil will not be called upon TO decide any
thing more serious than the protection of
British interests in China. 1t seems gem
orally agreed. however, that the Cabinet
Council will decide the question whether
British troops shall be sent Immediately
to the treaty ports OF China.
The Cabinet Council met to-day. Most
OF the Ministers were present. Sir Will
lam Harcourt, Chancellor of the Ex-
checquer, was absent. The meeting lasted
from noon until 1:30 P. NJ. 1t is under
stood that perfect agreement was
reached respecting the plans submitted
Tor the protection of British residents in
China.
1t Is announced upon authority that.the
Cabinet, alter discussing The state of af-
fairs IN China, decided to send troops to
that country to protect British interests.
1t IS also probable that additional ships
Will be sent to strengthen the fleet in Chi
nese waters under command Of Admiral
tremantle. 1t is also said, in consequence
OF to-day's meeting OF the Cabinet that
the British Legation at Pekin will
shortly be guarded by British blu,s-
Jackets and native Indian soldiers.
NO CAUSE FOR TROUBLE.
PARIS, Oct. 4.-The French Cabinet to-
day decided TO prosecute the Po7'tt OtoD-

due to misconstruction of French meas
ures taken TO prevent the landing of arns

and the three fastened to the scene. Just
before reaching the house the burglar
jumped from a window to the alley
below and beat a hasty retreat,
with the officers in pursuit. The thief
was too fleet of foot, however, and made
good his escape. The alley and sur
rounding block were closely searched,
but in vain. 1t is not known whether
any booty was secured or not.
At about $3.50 O'Clock last William Dwi-
nellie, on returning home with his family,
discovered the back door propped open
and the windows up, the evidence
pointing TO the work of burglars.
Ii is thought the thieves were at work
when the family came home, and hearing
the front door open made hasty exit
without securing any plunder, as Mrs.
Dwinelle found her purse on the table
with the contents undisturbed.

"A Well-hnoWn seattle Attorney in
Trouble at Portland.
PORTLAND Orr, Oct. 4.-Ex-Judge
Junius Rochester, well-known attorney
and politician of Seattle, is detained at
the city Jail pending the adjustment of a
charge OF obtaining money under false
pretenses. Judge Rochester has not
technically been arrested, and it seems
probable that matters will be so arranged
with several Portland parties whom he
has victimized that he viii be released
tomorrow and allowed to return to
Seattle.
Judge Rochester arrived in Portland
from Puget Sound on Thursday night OF
last week, and plunged AT once into a
reckless course OF gambling at faro He
had Ill luck, and on Friday be drew a

soon Squandered at the faro table. The
playing at faro continued during Satur-
Gay, Sunday and Monday. and the law
yer at intervals prevailed upon several
other persons to indorse either drafts or
checks Tor various amounts. In this way
he secured S400 more.
All this money, except very few dol
lars. the infatuated lawyer invested in
red, white and blue chips, with very nm
satisfactory results. In the course of the
usual exchange between Portland and
Seattle banks, it developed that Mr..
Rochester had no funds in the Seattle in
stltutlon upon which the checks and
drafts were drawn, and, indeeU, none in
any bank. The first 500 indorser was
called upon by the Portland bank to
make the sum good. He at once insti-
tuted inquiries, and ascertained the truth.
and then he informed the police. No in
formation was filed or other specific
charges made, but the police at once be-
gan to hunt the erratic lawyer, and Mon
day they found him at a faro table, rap
