WHAT FRISCO WANTS.
An Effort to Capture One of the Nh
tiOnRl Conventions.

An Effort to Capture One of the Nh
tiOnRl Conventions.
San Francisco citizens are determined to
make strong effort to capture one or both
of the national conventions. The conven-
ton of silver men from the Pacific and in
ter-mountain states, which meets at Salt
Lake City this week, will agitate this move
ment by resolution in favor of San Fran
cisco, which is expected to receive almost
if not the entire support of the delegates to
the silver conference. In addition to this,
the Californians have appointed a commit
tee of citizens to be present at the conven-
ton of republican clubs to be held in Cleve-
land next June.
In order to dispel the general impression
that San Francisco could not offer adequate
telegraphic facilities and other accommoda-
tions, the suggestion is now being consid-
cred of taking the Washington correspond
ents to San Francisco, as the guests Of
California citizens. They believe that the
newspaper men could not fail to be i'm
pressed with the advantages San Francisco
offers, and that they would be convinced
that the telegraphic facilities would be per-
fectly satisfactory.

SHOT BY A CRAZY WOMAN
State Senator Morrissey Killed in St.
Louis
His Slayer Believed to Have Been In.
zane Mt the Time-She Raved
IncOherently.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 13.-State Senator
Peter r. Morrissey was shot and instant
ly killed at $3.50 I'm. today by Maud Lewis,
his mistress. Morrissey went to the house
at a very late hour and had retired when
the crime was committed.
The woman had been mentally unbal-
anced for some time, according to the
statements of her neighbors. She is sup
posed to have been insane at the time.
The first information the neighbors had of
the tragedy was from the woman's
screams. They ran in and found her in
frenzy of grief and terror, bowling over
the body and calling on Pete" to come
back"
The first witnesses on the scene could
gain no Information from her as to the
precise manner in which the murder was
accomplished. but everything indicated
that MorriSSey was asleep when he met his
death. Two shots were fired, one entering
the mouth and the other penetrating the
brain through the left eye. Death was in
stantaneous.
AS soon as the neighbors ascertained
tragedy they sent word to the Four
Courts, and Detectives Jim Smith and John
Howard were dispatched to the place.
They were unable to get coherent state
came more violent and desperate every min
ute. They had her sent to the City Hospi-
tai in a patrol wagon, and permitted an
undertaken to take charge of the body.
At the City Hospital, soon after she was
received, 1t was stated that she was vio-
lently crazy, though whether her condition
was due to remorse for her act or ante
dated the crime could not then be ascer-
tanned.
Maud Lewis is twenty-five years old, and
was born and reared in st. Louis She is
sald TO nave come of good family. She
was in the City Hospital from August 2S
to September 10 of last year, suffering from
hysteria.
Morrissey was notorious as a crooked
worker at the polls. Ten years ago he was
indicted for ballot box stuffing, but the in
huence of the leaders Of the party kept him
out of the penitentiary.
The deceased was born in st. Louis, ALI
gust ID. 1885, and was educated at the ST
Louis University. In 1885 he was elected
to the municipal assembly, and at the time

his saloon, southeast corner of 11th street
and Clark avenue. He was a single man.

IF ADMIRAL MEADE is TRIED
Embarrassment in Organizing a Qualified
Court.
Talk About the Latest Naval Sensa-
tion - The Command of
the Squadron.

There were no special developments in
the Meade incident today. The admiral
did not cail at the Navy Department dur
ing the day, nor has he, SO far as known,
made any written explanation of his re-
ported arraignment of the ,administrat ton.
The incident is the principal topic of con-
versation IN naval circles at present, and
the outcom3 is awaited with great interest.
1t is known that the President and Secre-
tary Herbert are very much provoked at
the remarks attributed to Admiral Meade,
and that unless that officer can explain
away the serious reflections upon them he
will be sternly disciplined.
Action may take the form of a simple
public reprimand. but the, impression is
growing that court-ma rtial proceedings are
more probable. In the latter event the con-
sequences might be serious to the future of
Admiral Meade A conviction would cast
stain upon his career, regardless of the
nature of the sentence imposed, whether
suspension or dismissal.
The Composition of the Court.
There is considerable gossip as to the
composition of such a court in case that
course is determined upon. Under the law,
a general court-martial must not have less
than five members, majority of whom
must be senior to the officer to be tried.
Admirals Brown, Walker and Ramsay are
Admiral MeadeS s only seniors IN the SER
vice. and there are said to be personal
reasons why Admiral Ramsay should rot
serve on such court. 1t might be impera-
tive for him to serve. however, inasmuch
as it is the only way the court could be
constituted in full compliance with the law.
Admiral Mcade's Successor.
Secretary Herbert said today that he had
rot yet given serious consideration to the
que estion Of Admiral Meade's successor in
command of the North Atlantic station.
Notwithstanding this assertion there is
well-grounded belief in naval circles that
the detail will be given to Rear Admiral
Ramsay, chief of the bureau of navigation,
inasmuch as it will be that officers last
chance to command squadron in his
present grade before his retirement, about
a year hence.
He has made formal application for the
detail, and is entitled to it according to all
the rules of the service. 1t Is conceded that
the command lies between Admiral Ramsay
and Commodore Selfridge. No action has
yet been taken on Admiral Meade's appli-
cation to be retired on the 20th instant un-
der the thirty years service clause. Action
on this application is suspended pending
the settlement of Meade's alleged infrac-
tions of the regulations.

lister on leaving the ship. Capt Glass of
the cruiser Cincinnati commanded the gig
conveying him to shore, and in the course
of the trip Capt. Glass stated that the rules
of the navy forbade Sunday salutes and
like courtesies.
Another Phase of the Matter.
A phase of the important pending ques-
ton between England and Venezuela, in
which the United States has intervened to
ask arbitration, is involved in the demand
of the State Department for the resigna
ton of United States Minister Haselton of
Venezuela on serious charges made by Ad
mral Meade. Minister Haselton regards
the charges as inspired by pique, and as
an evidence of this he cites political repre-
sentatiohs of a direct and indirect charac-
ter, by which, he says, Admiral Meade
sought to impress the Venezuelan govern
ment and public that the visit of the
United States squadron was something
more than courtesy, and involved pollt-
ical assurances that the United States was
about to lend the strength of it's navy to
maintain Venezuela against Great Britain
The minister says this impression char
acterized all the admirals actions while
the United States fleet was in Venezuelan
waters. 1t was so marked as to attract
the notice of FeneZuelans.
The government officials, who were well
informed On the pacific character of the
visit, were surprised that the impression
s,-cuid be given that there was political
significance IN the FlSlt. Ar. f1aSeltOn says
this course aroused a decided feeling of
dis approval among government authorities.
They did not, he says, care to be patronized,
" hen, as they understood the facts. the
visit of the fleet was an incident to its be-
ing in southern waters, and was not in
tended as an evidence of the position of
the United States on the international
question involved
The minister today referred to Admiral
Meades address as something more than
an expression of the usual official cour-
tesies, and declared that it conveyed this
general impression that the United States
sailors were there an evidence of the
political policy Of the United States.
VIII Not Return.
1t was stated at the White House today
that the action taken in the case of Min
lister Haselton of Venezuela would not be
recalled and that Mr.. Haselton would not
return to Venezuela minister of the
United States.

FOUND TIED TO THE TRACK.
The Startling Story Told the Chicago
Police by William Musch.

The Startling Story Told the Chicago
Police by William Musch.
CHICAGO, May 13.-William H. Musch,
one of the oldest and best mechanics con-
nected with the Siemons- Haskell Electrical
Company. was found tied to the rails on
the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul tracks
at Bloomingdale road and Leaviet street
yesterday morning. He was firmly bound
hand and foot and was in imminent danger
OF being run over and killed, as freight
trains are passing over the tracks at all
hours Of the night. He was taken to the
hospital in an unconscious condition Dur
ing the afternoon consciousness returned.
and he told the police strange story cf
assault, abduction and Imprisonment for
nearly three weeks which the police think is
a fabrication, but which finds partial cor
roboration in Musch's actions and condi-
ton.
Musch claims he was assaulted on the
night of April % by three men, who chloro-
formed him and kept him in dark base
ment until Saturday night, when they
placed him on the tracks. He cannot tell
where the basement was located, and could
give no description of the men. While he
was confined he was fed regularly on
bread and water, which was passed to him
through a hole in the ceiling. No reason
was given why he was kept a prisoner
There was no attempt to rob him, and his
rings and watch are safe in his pocket.
He said he thought he could identify one
of his assailants by his. voice. On the
strength of this statement the police last
night arrested Joseph Won Rembow, and
he will be held for Identification. Musch
told the police that Won Rembow had brok-
en- up his home and caused him to get q
divorce from his wife two years ago. Mrs
Musch has since died.
The physicians at the hospital gave it as
their opinion that Musch had been pois-
oned
Won Rembow said he knew nothing about
the case, but he charged that Musch had
ill-treated his daughter and that this led
to the application for divorce by his wife.
