FRISCO ON THE ROCKS.
City Officials in n Dilemma Over
Finances.


SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April Is
The city officials have as yet been I'M
able to solve the problem of how to
tue over the city's financial distress
until the beginning of the next fiscal
year, June l. While the mayor, the
supervisors, and the heads of the de-
paftments were wrestling with the
subject yesterday, the supreme court
was engaged in writing a decision re-
aflfming its former decisions to the
effect that the expenses of one year
may not be paid out of the revenues
OF another. In other words the city
cannot mortgage it's future, although
the expense of maintaining the fire
apartment and public institutions for
the remaining two months of the fiscal
year will be $125,0O0, to meet which
there is practically nothing in the
treasury
Taken together with the refusal of
contractors to furnish supplies to the
hospitals, aims houses and jails after
April 80, this is the condition of af-
fa1rs that has caused the finance COM
mlttee to do a great deal of figuring
AS the salary demands of each month
amount to $135, 600, it was proposed that
the employees of the city forego draw
ing their salaries for April until May
- OF course this plan does not meet
with the approval of the employees
Alter much talking the official gath
ef1ng adjourned without having ac-
complished anything.

PORT TAMPA, Fla, April 2S.--
Edward Tucker, merchant of this
place, was taken from his house last
night and numerically whipped by
female Whitecaps. Tucker has been
in the habit of going home drunk
and abusing his wife. Some time ago
he was warned that he must treat his
wife better or he would be severely
dealt with. Last night Tucker went
home drunk, and soon Mrs Tucker
was heard screaming. Soon after, a
number of men entered fuckers res
idence and dragged him to the out
skirts of the town, where a number Of
ladies wearing white caps were wait
ing. Tucker was stripped to the
waist and lashed to a tree Then
the ladies, each one of whom wac
armed with rawhide, began to whip
him. fuckers screams were heard
mile. When the women finished.
the mans back looked as if it had
been knouted. The skin had been
cut in dozens of places and bloods
was streaming from the cuts Tucker
promised never to abuse his wife
again. 1t is thought that some of the
most prominent ladies of the place
were engaged in the affair."

CHICAGO, April 2S.-A Tim Herald
special from Pittsburg, Tex, says: In
a, remote section of Titus county,
twenty miles north of here, yesterday,
Constable Oliver attempted to arrest a
man named Belcher for some minor of
Tense. Belcher resisted, and in the
shooting which followed Constable Oil
yer was shot through the hand. Oliver
withdrew and secured reinforcements
in the persons of three men named
Cooper, Price and Richie. Returning
to make the arrest, Belcher and the
male members of his family ambushed
the party at Blacks Ridge, on White
oak river, just at dusk, pouring a
heavy fusillade into the party from RI
hes and revolvers, moving down the
entire party. Latest reports from the
scene of the ambuscade state that Oh
iver and Cooper were instantly killed
and Price and Richie fell mortally
wounded. The Belchers mounted their
horses and fled, leaving the dead and
dying officers in the road where they
fell. Armed posses are on their TRAIL
but it is not believed the Belchers will
be captured alive. They are desperate
men and further bloodshed is looked

DOESN'T SUIT BUDD.
California Thinks That Gresham
Should Have Insisted on Arbi-
trUtiOn.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2s.-Gen.
James H. Budd, Democrat, in referring
to the Nicaraguan difficulty yesterday,
said: 1.-The United States of America
should never have allowed the British
marines to set foot on the Nicaraguan
shore. In the beginning it should have
demanded that England submit her
claims to arbitration, and we should
have forced her to do so. If our diplo-
matte protests were not needed, there
should have been American marines
in Corinto to prevent the invasion
The Monroe doctrine expresses the
policy of the United States, as 1t does
the sentiment of the people, and this
is violation of the spirit of that doc
trine. The landing of the British
troops is the entering wedge; the next
demand will be for a territorial in
demnity for some alleged outrage. No
European country can be permitted to
get into a position to control the
Nicaragua canal, and it would have
saved trouble in the future if our gov
eminent had drawn the line there
THE nation should have given
warning that it will see that it's weak
er sister republics receive justice, and
we should stand jealousy on this
ground. Let war with the United
States be the consequence of agrees
sion on this continent and there will
be no aggressions.'

ENGLAND INSISTED

upon this when the United States de-
clared the Confederate ports closed
during the war. For the purpose of
learning the real situation respecting
affairs at Corinto, DR.. Guzman, the
Nicaraguan minister, sent a telegram
of inquiry to his government. Today
dispatch came in reply from the min
lister of foreign affairs at Managua con-
firming the report that the British are
"Corinto is today under the British
flag
The minister does not know whether
his government has declared Corinto
closed port, but he is of the opinion that
such a step has been resorted to. DR..
Guzman made a negative reply when
asked whether he had any news as to
whether his government had changed
its attitude and taken any steps to
satisfy the demand set forth in the
British ultimatum. A reporter read to
the minister the protest against the
action of the British made by Presi-
dent Zelaya through the Associated
Press yesterday. DR.. GuZman listened
intently but made no comment. The
report that the government of Costa
RIGA had volunteered to pay one-fifth
of the indemnity demanded by Great
Britain was also news to the minister
Such a thing is possible he said,
with a shrug of the shoulders. They
are very patriotic, but l have no in

GOLD AND SILVER DOLLAR
ON THE SEE SAW PLAN

DETROIT, Mich, April 2S.-The
Tribune Republican, will tomorrow
publish ain editirial leader which will
declare in favor of the solution of the
present money question by the issu-
ance of new dollar to be composed
of proportional parts of gold and sill
yer. The article quotes the national
platforms of 1888 and 1892 in favor of
bimetalliSm, and points out the dan
gers of practical silver monometal-
Ism through the throwing open of
the minis to the unlimited coinage.
1t calls attention to the difficulties
and delayswhich would attend the ne
gotiation of an international COM
pact, and questions the successful
maintenance of parity between gold
and silver by that means in any
event. 1t calls upon the party to
fulfill its platform pledges by form
ulatinS without delay a practicable
scheme for bimetallism, and espe-
clally in view of the threatened d s.n-
tegratiOn of parties and the drawing
of new party lines with gold mono
metalliSm on one side and silver mon
ometallism on the C:her. Continuing,
the Tribune advocates the composite
dollar as a measure easiest to effect
and with the least disturbance to
business of any plan suggested 1t
proposes:
THAT all existing coinage laws be
repealed, and that there be Slacted
law creating a
NEW AMERICAN DOLLAR,
which would be the standard coin of
the nation, this dollar to be COM
posed of 2O6A grams of standard sill
yer and II $40 grains of standard
gold, fused together and struck into
handsome coin about the size OF
the present half dollar.
The coin would be of absolutely
| stable value, for in case of disparity
at any time in the commercial value
of silver what was lost blythe depre-
citation of one would be made up
by the exactly corresponding appre-
citation of the other"
As to the question whether the pro-
pose dollar would be suitable for ex-
port, the Tribune says: "It would
not be necessary to export the coin
while uncoined gold could be Sc
cured, which would be just as avail
able. If at any time it became neces-
Sary to separate the gold from the
silver it could be done at the United
States mint at a cost of less than
L per cent This very cost would be
a precaution against the export of
coin while uncoined bullion was at
tainable"

Missing Man Located but He Is
in His Grave.

3 PORT ANGELES, Wash, April 2S-
Ansel White, the man referred to in
the dispatch of April % as being heir
to estate in New York valued at 81, O0O,-
600, has been traced to this country,
where he died in May, 1858, on his
rahch. located between this city and
Dungeness.
AS was stated in the San Francisco
papers, it was supposed that Ansel
White had come to his death many
years ago by drowning in San Fran
cisco bay. During the past two years,
Pierpont White, a son of Ansel Whites
nephew, has been searching for the
fost heir, and found conclusive evil
dence of his death. He was traced
from Utica, N. Y, to Missouri, and
from thence to California, where all
trace of him was lost. The nephew
then advertised in the San Francisco
papers, and from the description c. F.
>Clapp, of Seattle, recognized Ansel
White, a rancher of Dungeness. He
Immediately telegraphed the informa-
ton to Mr.. White at San Francisco.
and that gentleman came to Port
Angeles for the purpose of meeting
County Auditor John w. Troy. who
Dor of Ansel White. The identity
OF the dead man was fully established
during conversation between these gem
uemen, for Mr.. Troy recalled many
circumstances which Mr.. White had
spoken of as having occurred during
his early life, for instance of the fact
Of his having been a schoolmate of ex-
Gov. Seymour, of New York
Pierpont White was so confident that
he had at last succeeded in tracing
the missing heir to his grave that he
lett at once for New York, and stated
before leaving that two attorneys
would be at once sent from New York
to this city, whose mission it would
be 10 secure legal and conclusive data
in order that the will might again be
probated and the 100000 divided be-
tween the sixteen heirs, who have
been waiting fifteen years for the in
formation now obtained.
Ansel White had lived for twenty
years on his farm east of this city, and
at the time of his death was seventy
six years of age.

OLDBURY, Eng, April 2S-The case
OF Rev. Jonathan Bell, the Methodist
minister who was implicated in the
events that led to the recent death at
Detroit, Mich, of Emma Hall, an
Engllsh girl, and who had disappeared
since publicity was given to the mat
ter, continues to attract much atten-
ton in the circles where Bell is

LUsCoMBE OUT ON BAIL.
Public sympathy Is With the Stay
of Sanger.


err of Sanger.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 28.-Ex-
City Attorney Robert Luscombe was
formally placed under arrest this after
noon, charged with murder in the first
degree for shooting his brother-in-la law,
Emil A. Sanger, brother of the cham
pion bicyclist, Saturday night The
prisoner was released on $1,000 bail fur
niShad by his father and Henry Hase
Public sympathy seems to be with LuS-
combe, and hundreds of leading citi-
zens called upon him at the police sta
ton to offer assistance and advice
Even some OF the members of the San
ger family do not show any great re-
sentiment, knowing as they did that
the murdered man had cruelty beaten
his wife and threatened to kill Luz
combe. When Sanger went to the Lus-
combe homestead "a Grand avenue and
Fifteenth street, where his wife had
taken refuge with her brother and
mother, after he had beaten her, he
carried heavy cane but no revolver,
but when he stepped up to the door
and tried to force an entrance Lus-
combe shot him through heavy plate
glass. His head was literally filled
with the pieces and he died instantly
He had been to the house before and
showed a landscape gardener a long
knife which he said he would use on
Luscombe. This is the latter's excuse
for shooting before Sanger forced an
entrance
