Destitutton.

CoLIMBUs O., Jan. s-A delegation
of miners has arrived here from Nell
sonville for the purpose of making an
appeal to the people through the gov
ernor for assistance. They tell a
most remarkable story of suffering
among the miners and say that unless
aid is furnished at once many Of them
will die of starvation. According to
their statement there are l,s00 idle
miners in the immediate vicinity of
Nelsonville who. with their fami-
lies, make a total of nearly 5000
persons who have no means of
obtaining even the most common neces-
Saries of life. and are suffering for
want of food and clothing. In the
five couaties in that coa section
they estimate that there are about 80. 900
persons who are in actual want and
must have aid They say the great ma
tional strike of last summer impover-
ished them, and as work mas been
very slack since then, they have not
been able to recover,

Second Degree Murder.

Wong Fook, the Chinaman who
stabbed a countryman to death
about two weeks ago, was convicted
of murder in the second degree last
night.
Attorneys Dole and Davis, who
had been assigned by the Court,
made mastery speeches in the de-
tense of the prisoner, and ex-Judge
Hartwell prosecuted in his usual
quiet manner. At 7:45 o'clock
Judge Magoon charged the jury as
impartially as ever a charge was
delivered from the Hawaiian bench.
While the pleadings and charge
were being made the prisoner sat in
a semi-dazed condition with bowed
head. During the afternoon he
was examined in the law library
by two physicians as to his sanity,
but, whether from fright or other
wise, he could not be made to an
swer. From his actions and the
fact that absolutely no motive can
be found for the murder the i'm
preston seems to be that the mans
mind Is affected.
