SAN ( RANCIsCo, May 12.-Good news
Was given oat at the Weather Bureau to-

any day. In fact. cold winds and obscur-

-Four warm days in succession are enough
for one season, and if the forecaster
wishes to retain his popularity in this
community he will bottle up any or all
northers he may have in reserve.
The mercury made another noble start
this morning, but began to back down
about noon. Eighty-two degrees was the
highest registered in this city. This was
at noon, but a sharp wind set in from the
west which lowered the temperature con-
siderably. 1t was the wind from the
north which drove the warm airs of the
Sacramento Valley in this direction, and
shifting breeze is sending the heat back
to where it belongs.
By o'clock the mercury had dropped
from so to 700 and the populace began
to feel more comfortable. Later in the
evening the change was more marked.
and the weather sharpS predict that the
torrid spell would be over by tomorrow
morning.
In the interior the heat was greater
than at any time during the wave by at
least A. At Fresno the thermometer
registered $50, which is 1O0 in advance of
the hottest perioo in this city on Satur-

intirmary west of this city, Abe Wise, a
semi-paralyzed inmate. 40 years old,
being the victim, and John G. Karg,

The two men quarreled over trivial
matter, and Wise threatened to kill
karg, striking him over the head with a
cane. karg went to his room and procured
a butcher knife. Returning, he secured
Wise's cane, and then made rush at him
with the knife. Wise was almost help
less, being paralyZed in one side, and
therefore at Kings mercy. The knife
was rs sharp as a razor. and with it karg
slashed Wise across the neck and head.
Wise attempted to get downstairs, and
as he was going along the hallway in the
dark karg made another dash at him.
Drawing the knife across the back of his
neck, he nearly severed the head from
his body.
With the blood streaming from his
stairs, but he died soon sfterward.
After karg washed himself he went to
his room and pretended to be asleep
when the superintendent knocked at his
door. He was placed under arrest. His
clothing was found to be saturated with
the blood of his victim. In karg's room
were found two other knives beside the
one with which he killed Wise.

Fleming, the Leader of Confidence
Game, Landed in Jail.
SAN Francisco, May II. - Charles
Forbes, sailor, and j. P. Fleming, the
swimmer, who was the leader in the con-
fidence game that worked so successfully
among the passengers on the ferry Pied
mont two weeks ago, attempted the same
trick to-day on the ferry Ukiah. 1t was
arranged that Forbes should be the one to
apparently fall overheard, and Fleming
was to jump in after him to the rescue.
Both mon felt so good over the prospects
of the success of their scheme that they
drank freely before the steamer was
ready to leave. AS the Ukiah crept out
of the slip Forbes rushed to the side and
plunged in. After he reached the water
he made so jocular remark to those on
the boat, and his scheme was so apparent,
that Fleming, who had arranged to Jump
in after him, became SO disguised that he
asked the steamers crew not to bother
about attempting to rescue such fool A
boat was launched, however, and the
swimmer picked up. The cold plunge
brought him to his senses, but Fleming
tried to drown his sorrow to such an ex-
tent that when the ferry came back he
was arrested and charged with being
drunk.

that really led me into the Salvation

my countrymen along army lines. The
late war, l believe, has made China open
her eyes. AS a result, the way will be
opened for Christianity, civilization and
other good things"
Captain Fong expresses huently in
English, but uses some expressions that
are peculiar. Following is a note he
wrote for the reporter: II fully believe
that when we have a Chinese work
started in a prosperous way lots Of
Christian Chinese will rally round us
and fight beneath our colors to bring
China to Christ. Yours, to lick the devil,

Governor Watson VIII Appoint Suc-
cessor to Senator Higgins.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The probable
ity that Governor Watson of Delaware
will appoint Senator TO succeed Senator
Higgins is considered sufficiently stroug
in political circles here to cause general
speculation as to what would be the
chances of his being seated. The history
of the Senate does not furnish a parallel
case to that which would be presented in
case of such action by the Delaware Gov
ernor, but it is more like the case of two
years ago presented from the States of
Wyoming, Montana and Washington
than any other. 1t would be similar to
those in SO far as it would involve the
Governors right to appoint when the
Legislature has failed to elect, but it
would develop other questions. important
among which would be the right of the
Governor TO act in the capacity of State
Senator while filling the executive office.
The cases OF the Northwestern States also
differ from that which would be pre-
sented from Delaware, in that there was
no counter claimant in any of them.

METALLIFEROUS MINERS.

DENVER, May 12.-The annual conven-
ton of the Federation of Western Metal
liferous Miners will begin in this city at

alton represents a membership OF forty
thousand miners, and it is thought there
will be one hundred and fifty delegates
present at the sessions this week. The
delegates will come principally from Col
orado, Idaho, Montana and South Dakota.
Probably the most important subject
that will come before the convention will
be that of affillating with The American
Federation of Labor and with the coal
miners. By uniting with the western
coal miners, the membership would be
increased largely beyond what it now is.

There were eleven horses killed. Their
names cannot be learned, as Foster is in
