ROCKS ROUND HIS NECK.
Desperate Suicide of an I'm
known, Believed to Be
Sailor.
Chastity Fiud of the Crew of the Bay
Schooner Pike County Near
Baden.

An unknown man, fairly well dressed
and having every appearance of being at
least in comfortable circumstances found
death in the bay some time between Sun
day and yesterday morning, and his body
is now awaiting identification at the
Morgue at Redwood City. When the crew
of the bay schooner Pike County, that was
lying at the wharf opposite the XII dairy,
about two miles from Baden, in San Mateo
County, began it's labors yesterday morn
ing it discovered the body OF man be-
meath the vessel, and after an Intellectual
attempt to extricate it sent for the Coroner
and the police authorities
When the body was taken out it was
found that a small sack containing a ouan-
tity of rock was fastened about the neck,
and place on the side OF the head ap-
peared TO contain bullet wound
At first the case was thought to be one
of murder and Deputy Sheriff Fred DIsa-
relic began an investigation, but soon
came to the conclusion that the man had
committed suicide. Coroner's jury,
consisting of III. A. Potter, Richard Con
ley, J. f. Cody, n. Jones, J. f. Horn, A.
Wilber and j. B. Wales, was called, and
after hearing the evidence and viewing
the corpse rendered verdict of suicide.

ness card of p. Flanagan, furnishing
goods dealer of 152 Sixth street An Odd
Fellows pin was attached to his vest.
A copy of THE CALL of Sunday last, also
found in his pocket, showed that he must
have made his fatal plunge some time
subsequent to Sunday morning.
IL is supposed that he tied the sack of
rocks about his neck and leaped off the
wharf where the body was found
Inquiry at the business house, whose
card he had, failed to elicit any lnforma-
ton that would lead to his Identification,
though the proprietor remembered that
on Saturday last two men, whom he took
to be either sailors or miners, called at his
place to make purchases and before leav-
ing took his card.

4 REPORT is In circulation that Capt.
Hathaway went into the regular repub-
licsn convention on trade; that he had
previously agreed to stand in with the
boiling delegates but later was induced
TO switch on the promise OF a position
in the public schools. The writer per-
sonally knows the report to be untrue
inasmuch as he was present at the time
and during the last conversation had
between himself and George Christ, Jr.,
the avowed leader Of the boilers. Mr..
the opera house, and vauntingly to the
writer said, II am the balance of power.
IL they want anything they must come
to me, will not 60 to them" While
repeating the boast Capt. Hathaway
came up and said, George, why don't
you come in? Come in and will stand
with you, the convention is the place to
make your fight and not on the street
corner" Christ refused and again de-
VI pONoI
and insisted that the convention muet
seek him and not he the convention. In
response to such repeated declarations
Hathaway finally said, "Well, George,
| was elected to attend the republican
convention aud sm going TO attend it
whether you do or not l will wait If
teen minutes and at the end of that
time l am going" ana go he cid. This
conversation took place as before noted,
in the presence of the writer and he can
certify to 1t if necessary. Hathaway Of
tered Christ his support for the sake of
getting him into the convention, but
Mr.. Christ fancied himself bigger man
than the convention and demanded that
the latter come to him. AS the conven-
ton sat IN blissful ignorance Of the
pleasure that awaited them they missed
the grand opportunity of their lives and
the balance OF power" lost the support
of good and loyal republican.

ed that 10 time it's beneficial results
would become manifest. Repu blican
free trade journals show the depression
to be more general than had been anti.
cipated. Late reports are more die
couragiDg than those which were pre-
sented late last year and in the early
months of this year. For example, the
New York Textile Manufacturers jour
rsi reports that of 256 wooden mills
whose conditions had been inquired into,
OK were closed and 81 were running on
fractional time. OF a full complement
OF A., 508 employees, 1926 are now en-

which there are too many to serve even
republican purposes, that have practic-
ally given Mckinley the presidential
nomination.

ing a period ot unprecedented financial
depression, and aided in bringing the
great work TO the point of realization,
Mr.. Cameron feels that be may DOW
devote himself to his mining and other
interests. For many months his former
associates have urged him to devote his
extraordinary energy and bis rare exc
cutlve ability to other enterprises, but
he would not abandon the great work
he had undertaken, so long as 1t urgent
ly required his services.
Though the Arkansas Pass enterprise
is now safe in the hands Of circle or
distinguished business men, the thons-
auds interested therein-even those
who have never met him-will sincerely
regret the retirement OF the mau whose
name has been so long, so intimately,
and SO prominently associated there
with. But the deepest regret will be
with those whose acquaintance with
Mr. Cameron bss enabled them to hp-
pfeciate bis brilliant ability, bis high
sense of honor, and his answering
loyalty TO those so fortunate as TO be
numbered among his friends.
The Herald is pleased to learn that
MIR. Cameron's family will remain at
Rockport fer some weeks at least. snd it
cher;shes the hope that be will yet settle
down in the city of Aransss Pass, which
is so deeply indebted to him.-Aransas

WEEKLY CITIZEN.
ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.

Washington correspondents predict
that the enabling bills for Arizona end
New Mexico will not pass at this ses-
sion, though the committee on terrific
ries has reported favorably on both
applications. III congress adjourps in
three or four weeks, as is expected,
both bills will go over, to be acted upon
in the session of 1867. No opposition
been manifested.
Arizona has BOT the population requi-
site; it contains Il, 900 people. while the
ratio of representation in the house lie
173, SOL for each member; but it Is pros
pering, and there is perhaps no reason
why it should not be state. Its gold
product last year rose to Si.260,0O0, it's
silver product being over 81, GOO, 0G0; the
miners predict large increase this
year. Forty five thousand ceres of arid
lands were irrigated in 1895, and are
low cut up in farms. 1t will never be
populoue state. but it may be expect
ed that its yield of the precious metals
and of cattle will figure among the i'm
portant products OF the country.
New Mexico's population falls short
the 173,901 required for member of
congress. but not far short; it contains
more people thar Idaho, Wyoming and
Montana did when they were admitted.
and far more than Nevada has now. IT
has been knocking at the door OF con-
gress for forty yesrs; it would have been
admitted long ago if there had not been
among its people 30 large an infusion
of non-assimilsting races. Still, terri
tory which contributes annually $50, 900
cattle and 10000 sheep to the food
markets of the country is not to be dis
dsined. The New Mexlcans have been
familiar with the working of representa-
tive government for half q century.
1t has been suggested in some quar-
tiers that Arizona and New Mexico
should pool their issues, and apply for
admission as single state. The area
OF such q state would be 236, 900 square
miles, and the population about 100000
souls. Such state would be rather
unwieldy, and it would be difficult for
state officials to administer a govern
mept over its whole extent. When it
was proposed to define the boundaries
of Cali form issoas to embrace the pres
ent states of Nevada and Utah, 1t was
argued very justly that the state laws
could not be enforced over such a vast
expanse of territory. and the same OBJ
.ection would apply to q state embrac-
ing New Mexico and Arizona. In ad-
hitting the few remsining territories of
the United States as states, care should
be taken to turn 10 account the expert
ence of Nevada. The people of that
state would surrender their state gov
eminent if they could. They cannot
afford the luxury, and the state officials
have not the means to enforce the exc
cution of the laws. Nothing would be
gained by admitting to the union new |
independent sovereign state which could |
not put down riot, or check an Indian |
raid without appealing to the general
government for helps. f. Bulletin.

A LATE Washington letter says: II
there ere any more democrats who wish
to poee as the administration candidate
for the democratic presidential nomina-
ton they should lose 90 time in CON-
municsting their wishes to Mr. CIeve-
land, who appears TO have laid aside his
customary obstinacy in this particular
matter and to be willing to allow all OF
the would-be leaders of the party to try
their hand at playing the part. First il
was Olney, then Carlisle, who was
followed by Russell, and bow it is Patti
SOD, of Pa. 1t may be that Mr. Cleve-
land himself is playing part in this
democratic melodrama. Already some
of his worshippers gre saying that none
of the men suggested as satisfactory
candidates to the administration have
developed any support IN the rank and
file OF the party; that Whitney, who
might develop large party following,
will not allow bis name TO be used, and
that there is only one man who can
prevent the nomination Of a silver man
by the Chicsgo convention. That man
lie, of course, Mr.. Cleveland. And, &C.
cording TO the aforesaid worsi.ippeFs.
the only wgy be can head of the silver
wing of the party is to cgsin become
the candidate himself. 1t may be that
Mr.. Cleveland has nothing TO do with
this sort Of talk, but it is much more
probable that be has.

WHY M'KINLEY?

Three months ago, says the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, our democratic friends
were confident that Mckinley would not
be the republican candidate for the pres
idency. They said that his nomina-
tion would make the tariff the dominant
issue of the campaign. and were positive
that the republicans would avoid a
revival of that issue. This line of re-
ssoning brought Mckinley to the front.
The democrats themselves had as much
to do with the segregation of Mckinley
from all revival espirants as the repub-
Iicans. The democrats gave ''dare''
and the republicans eagerly accepted it.
1t is doubtless due to truth to admit
that the democrats were deceived by
such of their newspapers as received
their inspiration from English trade
reports. The democrats did not know
the real condition of the manufacturers
OF the country. Many of them imagin-
ed that the Wilson-Gorman tariff was
working fairly well and honestly assum-
