Governor Budd Grants Long Respites to
Murderers

SACRAMENTO, June Ex-Governor
Budd today granted reprieve to Rico
Morasco and Fremont Smith. both of
whom were to be hanged next Friday
Morasco's reprieve is until March /.
1897, and that of Smith until August 0,
1895. 1t is also stated that he is making
some further Investigations into the case
of Patrick Collins. another of the con-
demned men.
Rico Morasco. one of the repriev ed
men, was condemned for having dellber :
ately killed Danaeto Delucca. who had a
few days before whipped him in drunken
row. while Fremont Smith was convicted
of having killed two fishermen at Coldsa.
AttorneyGeneral Fitzgerald has given
an opinion in the case of Patrick Collins
holding that he must be hanged under
the law on Friday next, along with the
other murderers now under sentence of
death at San Quentin. The point made
by Collins attorney was that the repIieve
of mis- clients sentence from May Sd to
June 7th required that lie should be again
taken before the superior court and sen
fenced to death. The attorney general,
howev r. holds that the reprieve merely
operates as postponement of the pen

BEDOUINS ON THE WARPATH
Fear That Wariike Tribes Will Attack
Jeddah
Held Responsible for the Attack on the
Consuls-- Arrival of British Warships
Is Expected

CONSTANTINOPLE. June 5.-Advices
from Jeddah, Arabia. seaport of Mecca,
and the scene of the recent murderous
assaults on the consular officers of Great
Britain, Russia and France. announce
that panic prevails there. 1t is feared
the Bedouins will attack the town. The
latter are held responsible for the attack
upon the consuls which resulted In the
death of the wee consul, and mum Der
were arrested in consequence. This has
caused an angry feeling among the Be-
douins who demand the release of tn hose
apprehended and threaten to use force if
the demand is not complied with. The
situation is so serious that Europeans
of Jeddah are hastily seeking refuge on
board OF merchant vessels in the harbor,
taking all they possibly can of their be-
longings. 1t is also stated the arrival of
the British Mediterranean squadron,
mum bering seventeen warships of various
classes, is anxiously expected at Jeddah
even by the Turkish authorities, as tn G
garrison is very weak.
Animosity has also been aroused by
the quarantine measures which the Turk
ish government has been compelled to
take at Mecca at the instance of the pow
ers. in order to prevent the Introduction
of cholera into northern ports by the re-
turn of infected pilgrims from Mecca. In
fact it is believed that the sanitary mea-
sures were the loca cause of the attack
upon the consuls- The me asures referred
to were quite recently taken under severe
pressure of he powers and at the in
stance of the Turkish international coun-
ellis of health for the purpose of cleansing
the holy places frequented annually by
so many thousands of pilgrims.
These sanitary improvements began in
April last at Jeudah. and at other towns
OF the pilgrim districts OF Arabia. and
they include the building of hospitals, the
f'equent disinfection of the places re-
sorted to by pilgrims, the selection by the
ealth officers of the camping places, fur
fishing wholesome supplies of water and
rovisions, and general sanitary super
I ision over the pilgrims. To this new
|. rider of things the latter have strongly
objected, looking upon it as unwarranted
interfe; ohce on the part oftthe Europeans
in their religious customs, and it is feared
that the so-called holy men are exciting
tn pilgims against the Europeans believ.
ing that tner old time privileges will be
swept away if the macrh of sanitation is
not stopped.
The ENJOYS of Great Brita in. Russia
and France in this city are awaiting in
structions from their governments in re-
gard to the situation of affairs at Jeddah
as well as regarding the refusal of the
TURKISH government, as exclusively
cabled to the Associated Press yesterday,
to agree to the reforms in Armenia which
have been proposed by the powers. In
this connection the situation of affairs is
unchanged. The porte S reply. however,
is regarded as momentary success for
the military party. On the other hand
the policy of Turkey in this matte r
is criticized by the Ottoman statesmen
who regard the porte action as disas-
trous to Turkey.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. June 5.-With every
train today came large del-gationst o the
Democratic state silver convention. More
people came than anyone expected. and
the streets were thronged with silverites.
Blue badges bearing the inscription Free
Silver 16 to H. fluttered from the coat
lapelsot the incomers and many delega-
tions carried banners proclaiming belief
in free coinage. The delegations that
came in yesterdy and last night were up
almost with the sun this morning, and
silver speeches by enthusiastic believers
in flee coinage could be heard in the
Hobbies of all the hotels. Every delegate
seemed to be for the free coinage of sill
yer and if there were any opposed to it
they were so quiet as not to be noticeable.
There is no doubt radical free silver
platform will be adopted and the Demo
cratic party of this state will be commit
ted to that policy.
During the morning the different con-
gressional delegations held sessions for
the purpose of selecting mem bers of
committees on credentials. rules, perma-
nent organization and resolutions. III
many cases resolutions were adopted up.
holding the Democratic state central COM
mittee for calling the silver convention.
When the committees conclud sd their
work a stampede was made to get de-

was to be the convention hall. Secretary

hall in gala attire with bunting and flags

prayer Hinrichsen spoke.
THE question has been asked, Why was
the convention called Sd early? 1t is
easily answered. for there were two good
reasons. One was to forestall the action
of the National Silver party, which was
preparing to launch a boom that would
have carried many good Democrats in

AMERICAN FLOUR VS.. RICE

Scheme

SEATTLE, Wash, June 5.-James j.
Hill, president of the Great Northern,
while here spent most of his time in con-
ference with Woo Gen, Sea tile manager
of the house of Wa Chong company,
Honskong. and made searching inquiries
respecting the disposition of China to-
wards flour as an article of food. Woo
Gen was of the opinion that if -four could
be laid down in China for 621% cents per
sack of fifty pounds 1t could be sold at a
profit for IS cents by dealers and compete
with rice. He thought that If the great
masses of China once began to use flour
they would not go back to rice, and if it
could be placed within the reach of the
laboring classes demand would be Gre
ated so large that all the flour mills on
the Pacific coast could not supply one
tenth OF the calls made on them. Hills
idea is to carry flour SO as to give it to
the Chinese for ] q cents per pound. and
bring return cargoes of rice so as to sup
ply the markets here ct y cents per
pound. He wants to be assn. ed of per-
manent demand before taking up the en-
terprise, and says that ii the Great North

vded the Asiatic line is set up.
Mr.. Hill declined to speak of the North
crn Pacific deal. except to say that the
recent changes meant that the road was
to be placed upon a substantial basis.
There was to be a JOINT management of
the Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cltic. and the two lines would be kept en-
tirely separate. He would not attempt to
get control of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation company. and never had any

A Little Light on the Murder of
Miss Harrington
WAS L. w. BUCK THE MAN ?
San Francisco Detectives Come to a
Conclusion
The Chief Does Not Desire to Speak Of the
rlatter, Because He Says He Hates to
Fight Dead 1en
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special wire.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.--The Even
ing Post states that the entire detective
iorce of this city is convinced that ex-
Senator Buck struck the blows which
killed Miss Nellie Harrington in her
Hat last Saturday. Buck died yesterday
from the effects of injuries sustained by
being thrown from cart while being
driven by policeman to the office of the
chief of police. The local chief of de-
tectives said today:
'I don't want to talk about this MUIR
der, because | hate to fight dead men,
The conclusions of the police are said
to be based on the contents of 50 private
letters found in Miss Harrngton's room,
which are saio TO indicate that there was
between the murdered woman and Buck
even greater intimacy than appeared on
the surface. On the back of Buck S
photograph Miss Harrington had left a
written request that it be destroyed at
her death. The alibi of Buck, as stated
by his family, is not borne out by police
investigation Detectives state that in
stead OF remaining in his Oakland resi-
dance from the time OF the arrival of the
MarysvIlle train, at j. 80, until 80, as
stat ed by his son, Senator Buck actually
left home a few minutes after noon. An
Oakland resident named Cham berlain
came across the ferry with Buck and
Cham berlain's bookk, eper states that his
employer arrived at his office before /
O'Clock. This, the police say, would give
Buck time tc proceed to the Ellis street
residence OF Miss Harrington and commit
the crime and get away before 2:30, the
hour the alarm of fire was rung in from
the fiat. In trying to fasten the crime
on Buck the detectives are building up
cumulative evidence. They say the dead
senator's actions after the tragedy were
suspicious. When he returned to Oakland
on the ferry many of his acquantances
discussed the murder, put Buck kept
silent. and although he had the after
noon papers. with accounts of the crime,
he said nothing to his family of the mur-
der. although all the mem bers knew Miss
Harrington well. 1t has been proved that
Buck was in the habit of making midday
calls on Miss Harrington. and the mur-
uerer must have been on intimate terms
to secure admission. to her room and to
make his exit unnotlced. Bucks remark
to the policeman who went to his house
on Saturday. 81 know what the police
want me for, " is also considered by the
detectives to corroborate their theory.
The most unfortunate part OF the police
theory is that the accused man is deau
and no testimony can be offered in reply
to police suspicious.
