SEQUEL TO A BIG ROBBERY.
Seventy Brilliants Bought by a
Local Sport.
WHICH ARE HELD FOR EVIDENCE.
Diamonds Which Were Stolen From
a Sacramento Jeweler Pro-
duced in Court.

SACRAMENTO. March 8. - The Grand
Jury has not yet completed its investga-
ton of the robbery of the Wachhorst
ieweIrv store, on which occasion the
thieves broke a large plate-glass window
and stole several thousand dollars worth
of diamonds.
Ex-Captain of Police l. }. Simmons
worked up the case so thoroughly that the
men implicated IN the robbery were all
located, and one of them, Horace Black, is
in Jail, having been captured in San Fran
cisco about two weeks ago. Simmons as
certained through his investigations that a
quantity of the stolen diamonds had been
sold to Ned Foster. a well-known sporting
man of San Francisco, and this informa-
ton was given to the Grand Jury.
Foster came to this city and told the jury
that ne had bought a quantity of dia-
monds from man named Jordan. When
asked to produce the gems Foster said
they were not in his possession; that
Carroll Cook. a San Francisco lawyer. had
them. This did not suit either District
Attorney Ryan or the Grand Jury. who
insisted that the diamonds should be pro =
duced at once to be held as evidence or an
order for them would be procured from
the Superior Court.
This demand had the desired effect and
Foster brought forth The sparklers and
displayed them to the Grand Jury yester-
day. There are seventy of them and their
estimated value is $1,000. When the gems
were shown to Mr.. Wachhorst and E.
Gerlach. an employee in the store. they
iden lifted number of them as having been
St0lan from Lne shpW-Wi ndOW
Foster explained that several diamonds
were missing, he having made presents of
them to various friends. The theatrical
man in no way duplicates Black, the
prisoner, in the tTansactionfof disposlng Of
the stolen diamonds, but Captain Sim
mons is not worrying over that fact. He
says he knows Black was one of the most
prominent men in the robbery.
There is one man still at liberty, but the
claim is set forth that it is known where
he is. and that be can quickly be taken
into custody. He is now in an Eastern
city. The Grand Jury will resume its in
vestigation of the case next Monday.

BERLIN. March 3.-Although no diplO-
matte questions have arisen between Eng

tration of Gladstone The news of his retire
ment caused satisfaction here. The Ger
MAJ people has never got over the resent
ment occasioned during the Franco-Prus-

Gladstone encouraged the sale of arms

Gladstone was regarded as an enemy of
the Dreibund, and as responsible for Eng
lands isolation in European politics.
The committee of the Reichstag to-
day adopted the first twelve clauses of
the kusso-German commercial treaty,
with the exception of clause 8, dealing
with import duties. the discussion Of which
was deferred. The first eighteen clauses
of the final protocol were also adopted.
The debates of the silver commission will
be chiefly concerned in four questions:
First-Is it robable that the gold pro-
duction of the future will suffice TO cover
the demand for coinage?
Second-Have the lack of gold and the
general depression resulting from its en-
HANGED value been noticeable in countries
with gold currency?
Third-What influence have silver f1uc-
tuations exercised on the monetary and
economic situation of Germany?
Fourth-How could the evils or dangers
caused in Germany by the present cur
rency be removed or lessened?
Great interest is taken in the silver CON-
mission. and fnaDciers are awaiting the
result of the deliberations with great
anxiety.

DEMOCRATIC TARIFF FIXING.
White Succeeds in Protecting
California Products.
ZANTE CURRANTs ON THE LIST.
The Committee Virtually Decides to
Place Duty on Many Articles
on Wilson'S Free List.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The Demo-
cratic mem bers of the Finance Committee
continued work on the Wilson bill to-day,
but did not make such progress as to JUS
tify the chairman in calling meeting OF
the full committee for Monday. There is
little room for doubt that the committee
has virtually decided upon duty upon
coal, iron ore. lead ore and many other
articles on the free list in the Wilson bill.
but the committee refuses TO make an Off
cial announcement until the bill is pre-
sented as whole. Among other articles
on which rates of duty have been decided
upon are wines and fruits ana nuts.
Senator White of California complained
of the rates fixed by the House bill. The
Wilson bill provided that no still wines In
casks should pay higher rate of duty than
10 per cent ad valorem. Senator White
represented to the committee that under
this provision cheap French ciarets would
be admitted almost free, and he secured
the promise of an amendment striking out
the ad valorem clause and providing that
such wines. when containing less than IA
per cent of alcohol. shall be assessed at q
srecifc rate OF 80 cents, and those con-
tanning more than IA per cent 80 cents per
gallon.
He has also obtained a concession pro-
viding for a duty upon spirits In which
cherries are preserved. The amendment
secured will tax spirits at the internal
revenue rate, which puts the domestic
cherry preserves on an equal footing with
the imported. Important changes were
also made In the fruit schedule, and prac-
tically all dried fruits have been put on
the same footing as raisins, upon which a
duty of ~ cents per pound is fixed by the
Wilson bill As amended by the Senate
the committee will raise Zante currants,
figs and prunes to this level. Under the
Wilson bill the rate on prunes is 20 per
cent ad valorem, which would be about
three-quarters of a cent per pound. Figs
at 2 per cent ad valorem is equal to l cent
per pound, and Zante currants at l per
cent ad valorem is about a quarter of a
cent per pound.
Senator White made especial effort in
the matter of Zante currants, claiming
that they were really grapes. and it is
understood be convinced the committee of
the correctness of his views. The Greek
Minister has made vigorous protests
against these changes on fruits, but it is
claimed that the duty rate proposed is not
so great as is imposed In Greece upon the
same impOrtatinns.

CAUGHT IN A TYPHOON.
The Warship Marion Returns to
Yokohama for Repairs.

WASHINGTON. March 3.-The United
States steamer Marion. which sailed from
Yokohama February 10 for San Francisco
has had an exciting time, and has been
obliged to return to Yokohama. When
out four days she ran into typhoon and
was roughly handled. One of her boats
bas swept away. the boilers were shifted,
and it was found necessary to return to
port and 90 into the dock for repairs. A
serious feature of the matter is that the
Marion may be so delayed as to render her
of small service in the Boring Sea patrol
this season.
