Coxswain johnson Accuses the E~ecu-

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The cruiser
Olympia, under orders, is at Mare Island,
where an inquiry will be begun regarding
the death of Coxswain John johnson, who
was killed at San Diego by the recoil of a
5-inch gun during target practice. The dead
mans brother, Frederick, Is a Southern
Pacific employe. and has been out on the
road With the news by wire of the broth
er's death, he received letter which had
been written by CoxSwain Johnson at
Santa Barbara before his death. This let
ter will cause Frederick Johnson to make
a demand for an investigation. This de-
mand, with copy of the letter, was sent
to Washington.
Following are extracts from the letter,
" which is dated Santa Barbara. April 20:
"Our ship is besieged with visitors, and
every inch of her is as clean as new pin;
she is a pretty sight to one who comes on
board. But. Fred, it is h to be one of
her crew. AS have already told you, our
troubles lie in our executive off1cer. He
and the captain are both alike, and they
are detested by the crew.
ITO give you some idea of our troubles,
we are poorly fed, to begin with, and are
cooped up like lot of convicts. If We go

He Furnishes the men for mere trifles, and.

BURNED ALIVE.
Awful Death of a COlored Man a
Wilmington, Del.

Awful Death of a Colored Man at
Wilmington, Del.
WILMINGTON, Del, May lone Of the
most distressing scenes witnessed in Will
mington for long time was the burning
of Frederick Asbury Freeney, a colored
man, twenty-three years of age, in the
stables of the Wilmington Transfer Com
pany, on Pine street below 4th, today. The
unfortunate man had eyidently been asleep
in the second story of the building when
the fire broke out, and when he awoke he
saw that escape by the big front door was
cut Off. The only possible means of get
ting out, apparently, was by the window
near him. He was surrounded by flames
and made rush for the window, only to
weight against the obstruction, but was
powerless to break through. All the while
he was calling piteously for assistance
from outside.
An alarm of fire was turned in, and in
the meantime several firemen who had ap-
peared on the scene made an effort to get
al Freeney, but they Were unable to reach
him. SO fierce were the flames.
The struggles of the frantic negro were
terrible, and his screams were heartrend-
ing. He succeeded in shattering the win
dow frame and clutched the broken glass
as though 1t were paper. The horror
stricken crowd could see his hands and
body bleeding from the gashes made by the
glass, but he paid little heed to his injuries
and directed his efforts against the firm
obstruction until, finally overcome by the
smoke and fames he fell back dead into
the fire.

York is in excellent condition and ready
for further service at a moments notice

THE BALL is OPENED
The Free Silver and Anti-Silver Campaign
in the South.
Mr.. Crisp for Silver and Secretary
tion's Sound Money Policy.

Secretary Smith of the Interior Depart
ment, whose departure from Washington for
the anti silver campaign in Georgia was an
nounced in last Mondays Star, has entered
vigorously upon the propaganda for sound
money. He gave his first public announce
ment of his position upon the silver ques-
ton at Macon yesterday in long inter-
view, and came out in unqualified opposi-
ton to free coinage by this country alone.
The ball Opened.
Southern politicians here say that Secre-
tary Smiths bold stand opens the ball in
the south, and that with ex-Speaker Crisp
and his hackers on the one side, and Secre-
tary Smith and the administration sup
porters on the other, the fight is now to be
prosecuted with relentless vigor for the
control of the democracy of Georgia. Opin-
ion is divided as to the probable outcome.
Some are inclined to think there will be a
breach in the party, which will be utilized
to good advantage by the populists to draw
off large portion of the democratic vote.
Those who take this view of the situation
say there will be nothing left for the free
silver democrats but go with the popu-
lists.
What is Claimed for Crisp.
In direct opposition to this theory, how
ever. Is the belief that Mr.. Crisp will rally
the democrats to his support. and will draw
away from the populists that element of
the democracy which may have gone with
them on account of their free silver ideas.
1t is claimed by these people that the popu-
list craze is done for in Georgia upon gen.
eral principles, and that when the demo-
Gratis who have Joined the populists see
Prominent men of their own party. such as
those who will stand with Mr.. Crisp. advo-
eating free silver. they will then have no
excuse for dallying further with the popu-
lists, and will flock to the old standard.
to be the case, the administration and
sound money democrats may have a very
hard pull in Georgia. 1t is thought that
the realization of this is what caused Sec
retary Smiths early departure for the scene
of action, and his vigorous stand in pre-
cipitating the fight at once.

GEN. RUGER's DETAIL.
A Flutter When 1t Was known He
Was Ordered Here.

The announcement in yesterdays Star
that Gen. Ruger, commanding the De-
partment of the Missouri, had been trans
ferred to special duty at Washington AUS
ed quite a futter in military circles. Some
Of the officers argued that it meant that
he was to succeed to the command of the
army on the retirement of Lieut.. Gen.
Schofield, in September next. Little or
no credence is attached to this theory by
officers who are usually well informed on
military matters inasmuch as it is not at
al: likely that the President would ignore
Gen. Miles, the senior major general in
such an assignment. 1t is believed to be
settled that Gen. Miles will suco eed Gen
Schofield and that Gen. Ruger will succeed
Gen. Miles in command of the Department
of the East These changes are not due
however, before September next
Secretary Lamont is credited with hav-
ing said in regard to the detail of Gen.
Ruger that Gen. Schofield was to be alb
sent until he retired, and the department
desired a general officer here with whom
to consult Besides, Gen. Ruger is at pres
ent engaged on a revision of the drill tao
tics. and the Secretary says that he can
perform that work much better here than

Rumors Regarding Possible Changes
Fail to Materialize.
DOVER, Del, May 1.-Before today's bal
lot was taken there were rumors of change
based, presumably, on yesterdays confer
ence between Addicks and his chief lieuten-
ant, Representative Moore, and Represen-
tative Burton, who at present Is voting
for Massey, but none CT the rumors ma
terialized. 1t was stated that as the out
come of yesterdays conference there would
be desertions from the ranks of Massey,
but the latter held his six followers intact.
1t now seems to be the general opinion of
the legislators that there will be no Sem
ator elected at this session Of the legisla-
ture chiefly because the Addicks followers
will not agree on Il candidate who is ac-
ceptable to the Higgins people.
The adherents of the latter have all along
shown Il disposition to agree on some per-
son who would be acceptable to the Mas
sey end Addicks faction, and while the
Massey men have shown disposition to
desert their candidate, the forces of Ad-
dicks have not mentioned a man upon
whom they would unite with their op-
ponents.
The report that -Addicks expected to be
elected on the last day of the session gains
but little credence here, as it is known that
there are at least five men at present
identified with Higgins who have declared
that under no circumstances would they

peditcd as Rapidly ns Possible.
Mrs. Leland Stanford has arrived in
Washington from San Francisco, and last
night had an interview with the Attorney
General in regard to the government suit
now pending against her husbands estate
She was particularly anxious to have the
suit expedited as rapidly as possible, and
was assured by Mr.. Olney that he had been
from the first anxious to have the case
heard at the first opportunity, and would
give the necessary instructions to the
United States attorney at San Francisco
On account of bonds issued by the govern
ment to the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and the accrued interest there will
soon become due to the government about
$6O,OOO,OOO. Under the laws OF the state of
California. each stockholder of a corpora
ton is individually liable for his proportion
of its debts. The Stanford estate was
about one-quarter, or SIS OOO, 900, of the Gen.
trail Pacific stock. and hence its alleged
liability to that amount. Suit was brought
in anticipation of the failure of the stock
holders to meet this obligation. 1t is
thought that the suit may be brought up
to the United States Supreme Court for a
hearing at the next October term.
