A SECRET REVEALED.
The Story of a Poisoning Un-
 folded.
A Girl Whose Hold Upon Her Lover was Slipping Tries by Deadly
 DraughtS to Bind Him to Her.

By the Associated Press
 SAN FRANCISCO, March Miss Alice Aldersley, the Napa girl who was found with the dentist, J. J. Leek, in an unconscious condition in Leek's apartments, died this morning. I.eek is still lowering between life and death. It is now believed that they decided to die together and took poison. The girls parents have come to the city.
 Police detectives have now formed 8 conclusion that Alice Aldersley took poison hel self and then secretely ad- ministered drug to Dr. Leek with whom she had carried on a guilty amour and over whom she felt herself losing her influence. Dr. J. Milton Bowers who has been in constant at- tendance on the two victims states that during Miss Aldersley's rawlings she uttered incoherent exclamations which put together seems to indicate that she administered morphine, cocaine and hemlock to Dr. Leek and afterWard took the drug herself
 During his semi-unconsciousness Dr.. Leek at times referred to the bitter of the wine which he had drank and also talked as if he had known that the young woman was sick and suffering when they were found. Leek had 8 bottle of ammonia clutched in one hand and Dr. Bowers believes he lost cons- ciousness soon after he got the drug and while he was endeavoring to resus- citate the girl. Leek is still alive.

THE MURPHY ESTATE.
The English Wills Set Aside by a
 California Court.

OAKLAND, Cal, March 7.-Judge Henshaw handed dawn a decision today in the famous Murphy will case. The contest was between the children O. Mrs. Murphy, the widow of a million aire merchant of this city. She died in London. leaving two wills of uncertain date, under which her daughters Helen, Frances and Isabel claimed the greater portion of the estate. The contestants alleged that their mother had been un- duly influenced by the three sisters were constantly with her. Judge Hen shaw's decision revokes the probate of both wills. which, he says, are wholly inconsistent in their terms, and leaves this estate to be distributed among the seven children, share and share alike. This decision is victory for Lady Vols ley of London and the three contesting brothers. Owing to the expenses of 8 long litigation the estate is now said to be valued at not over $6OO,O00.

has been made by the pupils during the past five months than ln the five preceding terms. The regular term having expired the trustees resolved to extend it as far as the funds of the dis trict would allow.
 A condition of affairs has existed in this school as we'll as in many others in the territory which should receive the attention of both school officials and school institutes and associations.
 This school is made up almost entire ly of Spanish speaking pupils, many of whom are unable to speak or under stand English. Previous teachers have been unable to speak or understand Spanish so that there were absolutely nc means of communication between the teachers and large body of pupils. The latter might as well have been deaf and the former dumb so far as their relations to each other were con- cerned. The result of this state of af- fairs has been that the pupils quit at- tending school and if the teacher earned his salary at all it was by the daily loneliness he was subjected to.
 The present teacher, fluent Spanish scholar, succeeded in opening commu- nication with the pupils, who readily responded to efforts for their advance ment and the school now for the first time is pervaded by an eager interest.

 WASHINGTON, March 7.-An interest ing debate was precipitated in the sen- ate today by Harris motion for the second reading of the selgniorage bill. Tins was opposed by Sherman, who moved it's reference to the finance com mittee and in the course of a strong speech in opposition to the bill, said it's object was to divert trust fund from its legitimate purpose, a thing which, in Ohio, would be peniten tiary of- fense.
 His motion was defeated, however, and the bill was taken up as unfinished business, and almost before any one was aware of what had happened it passed to it's third reading and was on the point of passing the senate. There it's opponents recovered from their sur prise and endeavored to prevent it's passage and on the request of Senator Sherman 1t went over until tomorrow. Pension Appropriation Bill Passed.
 WASHINGTON, March 7.-O'Neil (Dem- ocrat) of Massachusetts, who is in charge of the bill, closed the debate on the pension bill today. He said the debate was largely for political effect.
 Republicans, as they saw the limit in pensions soon to be reached, realized that their stock in trade would cease when they could no longer go before the country, crying out that they had increased the number of pensions.
 Grosvenor of Ohio offered an amend ment to increase the appropriation for pensions carried by the bill from $150,- O00, ,0OO to $165, ,000 .000. which WAS de- feated without division.
 Gen. Henderson, Republican, of Iowa, then got the floor. He was was pained beyond measure, he said, to find that upon theme which ought to inspire every patriotic heart, this house was as divided as if it was war measure. Gen. Black, who deserved every generous word that had been spoken concerning him, stood here with bouquet of rhetoric for the soldier in one hand and dagger to strike him to the soul in the other. "Oh, my coun- trv!" said Henderson, addressing the Democratic side, Che who wore the stars upon his shoulders in the cause of the Union can do more harm to old comrades than all those who fought un- der the confederate flag"
 Pickler, of South Dakota, offered an amendment to make the reports of ex. amining surgeons open to the inspec- tion of attorneys and applicants. This was agreed to and the bill was then re. ported to the house and passed without division. The house then adjourned.
