The Associate Justice of the u. S. Su.
preme Court in san Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-Justice
Stephen J. Field arrived from Washing
ton to-day, and will remain on the coast
several months. With him are Mrs.
Field, Mrs. j. Condit-Smith, Miss
Condit-Smith and Miss Mary o. Condit-
Smith. Judge Field says that he
came out on account Of his health and to
get away from the heat Of the East and
into the cool breezes of San Francisco.
His knee. which was injured many years
ago, is giving him considerable trouble.
Justice Field had heard of the appoint
ment of MIR. Harmon as Attorney Gen.
eral. but did not remember him. Speak
ing of Mr.. Olney, the new Secretary of
State, he said: MIR. Olney is very able
man. / have no idea, however, what his
position will be on the questions of
foreign policy. There is a good deal of
feeling in the East that we should have q
more decided foreign policy.
'The sentiments growing very much
in favor of the United States taking pos
session and opening up the Nicaragua
canal. What Mr.. Olney's position on
that subject will be / cannot say. / am
sure that the feeling all over the United
States is in favor Of that canal. Admiral
Ammen lately told me in Washington
that il Mr.. Cleveland had not Withdrawn
from the Senate the treaty with Nicara-
qua, which ceded to the y nited States con-
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1895-06-10

troll of canal and granted land ten miles
on each side, it would have been COM
Dleted five years ago. / have a strong
impression that MIR. Cleveland is more in
favor OF the project now. and l think that
that is the general impression in the
East.
Senators with whom I have spoken
speak OF the building of the canal by this
country as a thing that is bound to take
place soon. My opinion is that it would
change the commerce of the Western
world as much as the Suez Canal changed
the commerce of the Eastern world. 1t
seems amazing to me that any one would
have any objection to it. California aud
all the people from British Colum bia
down along the whole Pacific Coast have
an immense interest in it.
II remember conversation with Mr..
Chase, who said that there are certain
great events in the history of the world
that stamp character on countries, and
spoke of the completion ofthe Suez Canal
as one of the great historical events, and
then he passed on to the subject OF some
interoceauic canal between the Atlantic
and Pacific. 1t would rebound greatly to
the honor of country that would carry
it through"

MINNEAPOLIS, June 9.-The Northwest
was to-day visited by the worst rain and
hailstorm for years. All reports received
thus far indicate that the rain was general
all over Minnesota and the Dakotas. In
Minneapolis the rainfall was one inch
and quarter, and the storm did not last
long. 1t was accompanied by heavy
lightning, and considerable damage was
done. Several houses in this city were
struck, and number of people rendered
senseless. Mrs. Elizabeth Richmond,
with child in her arms, was thrown
down the cellar by the force of the shock.
She is seriously injured. Many electric
street cars were burned out. and the
electric wires suffered. There are re-
ports of bad washouts in the country, es-
pecially at Elk River. where the bridges
have been washed away. The great rain
only adds to the prospects of enormous
crops in this section, and were not severe
enough to do any damage i'll this respect,
SO far as known.

THE CHIN ESE LOAN.

Germany DIspleased at the Action
Taken by Russia.
BERLIN, June 9.-Russia' action in the
matter of the guarantee OF the Chinese
loan Is regarded AS partaking of disloyalty
to Germany, aud il is more keenly felt
by the German Government because it is
thought by Emperor William and his
Ministers that Russia has every reason
to be thankful for the cooperation OF
Germany when Russia lnterposed OBJ
jections against the permanent occupa-
tion of the Liao Tung Peninsula by the
Japanese.
The German Government, as we'll as the

the home of James Ish. in this city. He
had sold the family sewing machine and
had been summoned several times to fix
1t, aud was sent for Saturday. He came
this evening instead. and according to the
story told by Mrs. Ish. attempted to out
rage her while her husband was in an
other part Of the house.
Mrs. Ish claims that when she screamed
ChappelI drew his gun, bur that she
grabbed it from his hand and commenced
shooting at him. Her husband rushed
into the room, revolver in hand, and Mrs.
Ish says she grabbed that revolver also
and continued the shooting. In all nine
shots were fired, four of which struck
Chappell.
Mrs. Ish was placed in custody, but
later developments indicate that it is
likely the woman's husband did the
shooting, and that the outrage story was
told to screen him. Letters found on the
person of the dead man show conclu-
sively that he and Mrs. Ish had been un-
duly intimate.
