San FranciscO's Woman Murder
Wrapped in Mystery
MISS HARRINGTON'S MURDER
Ex-senator Buck Will Die From HE
Injuries
Very Few Additional Facts In Connection
With the At trocious crime-A Very
Singular Tragedy
Associated Press Special Wire


SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-The muir.
der of Miss Harrington yesterday in her
house on Ellis street and the tragic fate
of ex-State Senator l.. W. Buck. who was
thrown from cart while on his way
to San Francisco to explain his connsc-
tion with the woman to the police, were
the talk of the city today.
Ex-senator Bucks physicians said to-
night that the injured man could not
possibly survive and his death is only a
question of few hours. When pitched
of out the buggy Mr.. Buck struck the
ground on his head, fracturing the skull.
While the police will not say definitely
that they suspect Buck of the murder,
their actions lead to the belief that they
think he knows something about it. 1t
has been proved that Buck was con-
stant caller on her and had taken Miss
Harrington driving and to various re-
sorts. The police say that the murder
was committed by some one intimately
acquainted with Miss Harrington and
her habits. Whoev yer committed the mur-
der let himself in at the front door with
key or rang the bell. If Miss Harring-
ton let the man in it was undoub btedly
some one with whom she was on init
mate terms. as she was only partially
dressed when the murder was commit
TED. Inc ponce Searcned through the
papers found in Miss Harrington's rooai
in the hope of finding some clew.
When asked what the result of the
search had been Captain Lees said that
he had found certain evidence which he
could not make public at this time. A
conference of detectives was held aud at
its close Chief of Police Crowley. ac-
companied by detective, went to Oak
land where Senator Buck resides.
The detectives have investigated the
statement made by Senator Bucks
family that he was at home at the time
the muruer was committed. When ques-
toned as to the accuracy of this state
ment the detective who made the inyesti-
CATION avoided the question.
Owing to Buck 3 prominence and the
fatal accident that befell hlm before he
had an opportunity to clear himself of
the suspicious which have grown up
against him, or explain his connection
with Miss harrington, the murder has
created an amount of interest only ex-
ceeded by the Emanuel church horrors
of a few weeks ago.
: Senator Buck has not regaineo con-
seriousness since the accident last night
and if he had any explanation to offer it
will probably never be known.

1t is shown that the pensions payment
during June will be at least $25, 00O 600
less than for May, and that the payment
on account of interest will also be reduced
81, 500, 900, with an increase of the inter-
nal revenue of 1000, 900 on account of
special liquor, tobacco and oleomargarine
licenses. which must be paid before July
1st. and very material reductions in
pension and interest payments, it is con-
iidently expected that next month will
show small surplus, with the deficit
further reduced to at least $44. 600. 600.
The month of July, however, is likely
to see the deficit increased by at least
$40, 900. 600. as that months interest pay
mehts will aggregate about S7,0C0,000.
Disbursements in every branch of the
government are usually much heavier in
July than in Eany other month, SO that
without the receipts are greatly increased
the deficit on August 1st. next will not
likely fall short of sos, 100000 for the
thirteen months.

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
Voyager Thinks the Life Of the Admins =
tratiou Short


OMAHA, June 2.-Mortimer Higley of
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. is here en- route
from Hawaii. Higley is an intimate
friend of President Dole and has been in
the republic some time, and asserts that
the life of the present administration is
very limited unless some of the powers
come to it's rescue. He says:
They have thoroughly organized re-
public but the more intelligent class
realize tnat it is provisional one neces-
sarily. The sentiment lh favor of annex
alton is strong. The most kindly feel
ings are cherished towards the United
States among the natives as well as the
rest of the population. ] predict that if
the United States does not annex the
islands Japan will. YoI know what the
effect of the late war was on Japan. 1t
made her jubilant a.d selfcontident. She
has 40, 900 citizens in the islands who
have settled there. Besides. the Japa-
nese are restless under the Hawaiian gov
ernment because the government does
not allow the orientals to participate in
public affairs. The remainder of the pop
ulation, however. are allowed to vote,
with some property restrictions and edu-
cationa1 limitations"

The London rlarkets

LONDON, June 2.-The issues Of Amer
lean railroad bonds during the past week
have made no appreeiable call upon the
bullion market here. The races at Ep-
som Downs. the cricket matches OF the
week; the Jewish holidays and the ap-
proach of the Whitsuntde holidays have
caused u break in this market. Opera
tors are rushing to realize profits from a
break in the katfir and American mar
Kets. The worst. however, appears to
be over and the closing prices OF Friday
were the worst, and indicated a buoya t
tendency. Canad ians have risen and
Newfoundland fours recovered on the
arrangements of loan to the colony.
Fears OF a war in rates arising out of the
rupture OF the pooling arrangement for
