ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
King mcManus Ready to Shoot Big
Ioe McAuIiffe.


SACRAMENTO, June 2l-There was
scattering of politicians around the Golden
Eagle Hotel this evening and for a few
minutes it looked as if blood might be
split. 1t was all the result Of row be-
tween King MeManus. ex-pOtentate of the
Potrero, and Joe MeAuliffe, the big bruiser.
The pugilist has got an idea that the
King owes him some money, while the
latter does not own up TO the imputation.
There has been bad blood between the
two about this for some time. About $50
o'clock this evening the two got into
a dispute about the matter in the
corridor of the hotel. McAuliffe abused
McManus roundly. and finally in the heat
of the passion threatened to strike the
King across the mouth. The King
wouldn't back water. He stepped back,
and, putting his hand to his hip pocket,
advanced on McAulffe threateningly.
Lift your hand TO me now, and I'll put
hole through you," be cried.
McAuliffe reiterated STEP and the poll
ticians assem- bled made a break in all d.
rec:ions as soon as they saw McManus'
motion.
Some cooler than the rest crowded upon
the two Infatuated men and got between
them. McMaDus' friends finally dragged
him away, and others took McAuliffe
down the street. For a time. though, ii
locked as if a tragedy was not very far of.
The exodus of the politicians will begin
at once Some will leave on the train
which goes out at 8 O'clock In the NJ orning
and the rest will depart tomorrow.
They generally seem very well satisfied
with the ticket, and think they have done
three days work at Sacramento that will
rebound to the benefit of the party at the
November election.
Morris N. Estee was greatly fatigued by
the excitement attending the convention.
He was also much annoyed by the Barnes
speech and he looks carewOrn, though that
is TO be expected after such week as
that through which ne has just passed.
He retired to bis room al his hotel this
afternoon and asked to be called at in
The morning, in order that he might catch
the early train for San Francisco.
TINS has been a great week for Sacra-
mento. The city has easily regained all
its outlay, for the crowds seemed well pro-
yided with money, and they were in for a
frolic. By tonight the city will have
been restored 10 its normal condition.

PLATFORM AMENDMENTS.
Some Changes Made After the
Report Was COMPLETED.

Report Was Completed.
SACRAMENTO, June 21.-The platform,
as originally drawn, was given to the
Associated Press in Sacramento on Tues
day afternoon last and it was sent out by
express. The platform committee made
several alterations afterward. and list Of
these alterations and corrections was
given to the Associated Press representa-
tive in Sacramento by the chairman of the
committee on Wednesday morning and
sent out on that morning. However, the
new list as given by the chairman did not
con ain the changes mentioned below,
and the errors were not discovered until
the San Francisco papers containing the
platform reached Sacramento to-day.
First = The viticultural plank, COM
mencing, I'VE recognize in this State the
large and increasing product of the
orchard and the vine" should be stricken
out altogether. Is ii was not submitted to
the convention as originally intended.
Second-The honest election plank, CON-
mencing I'VE denounce the repeal by this

tion laws" should be stricken out and the
following substituted: "Since the orgaui-
cation of the Republican party it has been

policy has ever been that every voter. no
matter what his color or condition in life,
should be permitted to freely exercise the
right of suffrage, and that his vote, no
matter for what party or candidate it
might have been cast, should DO counted
exactly as he had given il. The sanctity
of the ballot box is the protection of the
nation. Corruption at the balIot-box is
the destruction of American institutions
and American liberty. Too many safe
| guards cannot be thrown around this foun-
| tain whence flows the entire government
of all the 100000 of people that march
| beneath the stars and stripes. We there
! fore denounce the action of the Demo-
cratic Congress and the Democratic Presi-
dent in repeating the Federal election
laws as wicked surrender TO those who
rule the South by force and violence, aud
who have sought to rule the North by
| fraud and corruption at the ballot-Dox."
| Third-Tbe first sentence Of the natu-
ralization laws plank should be stricken
out and the following substituted: 1--WE
are in favor of amending our naturallza-
lion laws so that no one can be made a
citizen who is not of good rspute and who
cannot read and write the Eng lish Ian
guage."
The other part of the naturalization
plank remains as originally given.

LED A DOUBLE LIFE.
Burglar Barrett Was Respectable
Mr.. Bassett in New York,

BosToN, Oct 15.-lnvestgation by de-
tectives has brought to light the fact that
William Barrett. now locked up in Cam
bridge Jail charged with the murder of
Constable j. Farrar of Lincoln, Mass,
last May, led strange double life. In
New York City he supported wife and
child In style and represented TO them that
he was dealer in driving horses, while
the evidence secured by the police leads
to the conclusion that he was also prcmi-
nent burglar.
On the night of May II last burglar
entered the house of James Farrar in
Lincoln. Farrar was awakened and with
his brother and several neighbors pursued
the burglar. After following the foot
prints OF the thief's rubber shoes for some
hours they came across Barrett in The
woods and attempted to arrest him. In
the struggle which followed Barrett killed
Farrar. Barrett was captured, however,
and on him were found a complete burg
lars kit, as well as rubber tennis shoes.
such as the thief who entered Farrar's
house had worn. Property which had
been stolen from other houses In the
vicinity a short time before was also
found in his possession. 1t now develops
that Barrett's real name is William Bas-
sett, and the police claim that he has been
professional burglar for some time
When his wife discovered who he was she
left New York and went TO Canada with
her son. 1t is said that the boy is still
ignorant of his fathers character.

RIGHTS OF SENATORS.
Jere Wilson on Sugar Stool
Speculation.
Just as Legitimate as Dealing in Rice
or Horses or Anything
Else.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. - Arguments
were closed to-day in the District Supreme
Court on the demurrer of Mccartney and
Chapman to the indictment against them
for refusing to answer questions of the
sugar trust investigating committee. AS
sistant Attorney General Conrad. for the
Government, attacked the defense's claim
of freedom from inquisitiop, saying
"When a bankers books are made the de-
pository of evidence of crime the produc-
ton OF those books does not constitute in.
vasion of private matters. 1t must be re-
membered that these witnesses did not
claim exemption on grounds of personal
danger to theni."
Jere Wilson, for the defense, laid espe.
cial stress on the plea that the resolution
did not show on its face that it was the
purpose of the Senate to take action on the
results of the committee investigations.
Mr.. Wilson maintained tnat the buying
and selling of stocks, matters of daily oc-
currence in every commercial center of the
world, was as legitimate as the buying and
selling of horses and rice or anything
else. He characterized this attempt to in-
vestigate such alleged speculation of the
Senators as an impertinence and an aim
less injury destined to cast slur on some
body. The real point at issue was whether
the resolution was such a one as would
Justify citizen in refusing 10 testify con-
cerning his private business. The plea
could not be made that as the Senate had
the power to expel its members this in
formation was necessary 10 that body. II @
asserted that the Senate never intended to
expel any member. Tie history of the
Investigation showed that at least one Sena-
tor had openly said: ~ es, bought sugar
stock, what are you going to do about it ?"
Whereupon Mr.. Wilson said the Senators
from a way back and near by had held
their peace. Judge Wilson argue ed at
length the analogy between the Senate
resolution and the resolution of the House
of Representatives in 1873 when Kilbourne
was arrested for refusing to testify, and
the USiied States Supreme Court held that
the resolution did not contain on is face
any purpose to do anything in the future,
and sustained Kilbourne in refusing TO
show his private records. He cited quite
a mum Der of other cases, and oncluded by
declaring that Ii the citizen was not pro-
tected against such inquiries the invasion
of the rights of the citizen would be abso-
lutely endless and the sanciity and sacred
ness Of his private affairs would cease.
The court took the motion to dismiss on
demurrer under advisement and will rem
der its ruling in few days.

TWO PRISONERS SHOT
One of Them Dead and the Other
Very Weak.
The Men Were Innocent, but Tried
to Escape Rather Than
Go to Jail.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Oct. 15.-
Thomas Short and James Cannon, the

Sheriff Sterling OF charge OF having
robbed the Victor gamblin g-house, at

killing Cannon and wounding Short so
that he may die Of loss of blood. 1t is
believed the men were innocent of the
crime with which they we're charged, as
many miners declare that both were at a
ball in Victor at the time the robbery was
committed.
The Coroner's jury exonerated Deputy
Sheriff Sterling, who shot and killed
James Cannon. Sterling said his reason
for removing the prisoners so hastily
from Cripple Greek was that be feared an
attempt at rescue would be made. His
testimony concerning the shooting was as
follows:
1--WE drove from Cripple Cresk to the
Divide and were putting our horses in a
livery stable. My two guards brought
their guns and leaned them up again st
the wall The prisoners grabbed both
guns and leveled them at me. One said,
Hold up your hands, and the other said,
Hand over the keys or we will fix you.'
Il advanced and put one of my arms
around each gun and called for the guards.
Then one Of the prisoners drew a revolver
from my belt and hit me over the head
with il. saw they were getting the best
of ;ne. so l wrenched one of the guns from
the prisoners and said. I am shot, and
managed to get out of the door. Both of
the prisoners ran out and while going took
a shot at me. They ran to the railroad
tracks where there was a large pile of
ties. | shot three times and told them to
come to me. They said they would give
up, so l went to them. Cannon was lying
across the track and dying Short was
badly wounded.
''ShoIt, who was shot in the leg, and was
weak from the loss OF blood, confirmed the
deputy's testimony. Short SAYS Cannon
and he lad nothing to do with the robbery
and they determined to try and get away
rather than be locked up in the Colorado
Springs Jail. where many miners have
been detained for months without trial.
Bull Hill miners are much excited over
the affair. They claim that Cannon and
Short had committed no crime.
