in different lands. He was in Bulgaria a
few years ago, when every other man
made mincemeat of everybody else, and
Alexander bit the dust, and it is believed
that he is the man who so stirred up con-
hicting passions in Seoul as TO cause the
death of the Queen.
Now he is over in Japan for some mys-
terious purpose and the Mikado is so agi-
tated about him, fearing it is trick of
Russia to get the country embroiled with
1t, that detectives are constantly following
the trail of the Slay.
Wherever the Russian goes he sets every
body by the ears. AS a breeder of politi-
cal dissension and puller of wires he is be-
lieved to have no peer nowadays. What
he does is at the instance OF the Gar.
This man is now going around the
streets of Yokohama carefully guarded by
Japanese detectives" said DR.. Clark
1.-TWO 90 before him and two behind.
This is done on orders of the Japanese
Government.
The Japanese are afraid something may
happen to the Russian which would give
Russia an excuse for war. The name of
the man is Hetrova. He is supposed to
have instigated a lot of murders in Bulga-
ria at the time of the death of Alexander.
He is believed, also, to have been
mixed up in the affairs at the time of the
death of Stamboloff. Besides this it is
gravely asserted that from all the circum-
stances he has probably had a hand in the
late Korean EN- broglio.
''By the way, | want to say that the
Queen of Korea is really dead, notwith-
standing late denials of it in the United
States. | get this from Stephen Bousal,
the secretary of the American legation in
Toxic. He visited Korea and got back to
Yokohama just before l left. He told me
that the Queen was certainly dead.
There were four women in the castle
when the attack was made. Three of
these, including the Queen, were killed,
while one escaped by crawling under the
house.
THE King himself, who had discarded
her and sent her forth, disallowing her
the title of Queen, when she was dead re-
stored to her her former honor.
"She was a wonderful woman, the last
of the famous Ming dynasty, that had
held the crown of Korea for so many CEN
turies. Political diplomacy and wire
pulling, however, finally ended her life,
as it had SO long held the Mings in power.
1.-The Russian, Hetrova, is said to have
effected the political revolution in Korea
through setting one man against another
there. Mr.. Sill, the Minister to Korea,
who was formerly from Ann Arbor, Mich,
got SO agitated over the situation that he
came away from Seoul. / would not paw
much attention to what he says, though,
for when he went over from here he took
two COWS and calf along with him. He
thought they didn't have any cows there.
His secretary was one of the missionaries
in Seoul. They all tell the same story
about the intrigues, and none of ther,
has any doubt that Hetrova was at the
bottom of it.
"Hetrova, the Russian, is a man gigan-
tic iii appearance. He is about 6 feet 2
inches high and weighs 260 or 270 pounds.
Japan is very much stirred up about him.
Everybody there is convinced that his
mission bodies no good.

pital, took fit in court and had to be
taken to the Receiving Hospital.
Murray went to the Sailors Home on
Tuesday and late that night he was taken
in the patrol wagon to the Receiving Hos
pitai with wounded scalp and his eyes
biackened. After his wounds were dressed
he was removed to the City Prison and
booked on the charge of assault to murder,
the complaining witness being Special
Officer Herlihy.
Ye sterday morning Murray appeared
before Judge Low. Three sailors, friends
OF Olsen, and Special Officer Herlihy testi-
fed to Murray having thrown a heavy
piece of crockery at Herlihy, who was
called in to keep him from raising a dis
turbance, and Herlihy, to subdue him, had
to use his club which he did with marked
effect. On this testimony the Judge held
Murray to answer before the Superior
Court in $1,000 bonds.
Murray was not represented by counsel,
and the prosecution had it all their own
way. He says that Olsen's friends had
been threatening him that if he testified
against him they would do all sorts of
things TO him. They got him drunk on
Tuesday night, and when he was going
into his room three of them and Special
Officer Herlihy attacked him, and he
threw the piece of crockery at them to de-
fend himself. Special Officer Herlihy's
conduct may be brought to the attention
of the Police Commissioners.

apart $32, 600 for election expenses. There
will be no general election during the
present fiscal year, which ends June 80
next, but according to an amendment to
the general election law passed by the
Legislature last winter, registration must
begin 100 days before the election. Hence
voters will begin to register on March 26
of the present fiscal year, and the money
allowed by the Supervisors Will be needed
by the Registrar to employ clerks and pro-
vide blanks to register The names.
The Commissioners and Registrar will
not assume, however, that the primary
election law will be set aside a. uhconsti-
tutional. Should the court sustain it, the
money provided by the Board of Super
visors will be necessary to carry out its
provisions, and then there would be no
money for use in registering voters 160
days before the general election.
According to the law under which the
Election Commissioners have acted since
the board was organized in 1878, registra-
ton has begun ninety days before cleo
ton. There is no contention, so far as can
be ascertained, that the amended general
election law recurring registration 100
days before the day Of election is unconsti.
tutional.
The Board of Supervisors, in making es-
Inmates of expenses for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1, 1896. will probably allow
$25O,000 for the general election of next
November.
The Election Commissioners appointed
by Mayor Sutro, under the law declared
void by the Supreme Court, were: James
Denman and P. M. Wellin, Democrats
and Albert E. Castle and Samuel Foster,
Republicans.
Leading Republicans, such as P. B..
Cornwall, M. NJ. Estee, NJ. Cooney and
others, vigorously opposed and defeated
Mr.. Fosters confirmation, on the ground
that he was persona non grata to
the political party he was appoint
ed to represent. Mr.. Foster, how
ever, qualified and became as much OF
an Election Commissioner as any one else
on the board. Auditor Broderick never
recognizes the board as having right to
exist under the constitution and reso-
lutely refused 20 audit salary demands of
the Commissioners and secretary. He en-
gagged Garret McEnerney to contest the
act in the Supreme Court, and is satisfied
with the result

Gus cities of the United States with view
to ascertaining the climatic and sanitary
condition most favorable to The spread of
the diseases.
The Board of Health received a letter from
Walter Wyman, supervising surgeon-gen-
subject and the board was pleased to send
statement showing that during the past
five years the death rate in San Francisco
from the diseases mentioned has declined
to remarkable extent. The figures are as
follows:
1891. 1892 1898. 1894 1895
Diphtheria. ....... 314 229 153 SO 81
Group. .............. 143 SO 73 SO 27
The low death rate in 1895 is due to bet
ter sanitary arrangements and increased
vigilance on the part of the health officials

M|DWEEK THEATER NOTES
A Revival Of "The Ensign at
the Columbia Theater Proves
Successful.
Continued Popularity of ''In Old Ken
tucky"-A Child.Actress at the
Grand.

"The Ensign" which was revived on
Tuesday night by the Frawley Company
at the Columbia Theater, has proved the
same satisfactory performance that it was
found to be last season.
For the closing week of the Frawley
Company's engagement they have selected
De Mile & Belasco's "Men and Women, "
play that had run in New York City
alone of over one year. Over twenty peo-
pie will be in the cast, which il is said will
be one of the best yet offered by the COM
pany.
I'm Old Kentucky" continues to please
large audiences at the California Theater.
The great horserace scene, the picka-
ninny band, the mountain heroine Madge,
the scenery and various features all COM
bine to make the play success. "In Old
Kentucky" runs through this and next
week.
''The Wolves of New York" is we'll acted
by the company at Growers Alcazar and
the success which is attending the perform
ances proves that the play has not yet sur
vived its usefulness.
The next production will be a new comedy
OF San Francisco life, entitled "a Canting
Scoundrel.'
Little Woodle van Dyke, the Child
actress who made her San Francisco debut
on Monday night, has already become
quite a popular favorite with the audiences
at the Grand. She plays her part of the
blind child in "The Man Without a
Country" prettily and pathetically, and
she is charmingly free from affectation.
The other parts in the melodrama are
well held up, and the performance on the
whole Is one well worth seeing.
The Orpheum has quite a galaxy of new
talent this week. Rachel Walker. the
soprano from the West Indies, is perhaps
the favorite performer, on account of her
sympathetic and clever singing of popular
songs. The De Witt sisters have also
proved to be effective musicians, and the
performance of the Sisters de Van on the
breakaway ladder is quite feature of the
programme. The Fonti Boni Brothers
and Hawley and Doyle are rapidly becom-
ing fayorites.
The Christmas spectacle, "Ixion," is in
its last nights at the Tivoli "a Gentle
Savage" will be the next production.
The sale of seats for the Tavary opera
season at the Baldwin will open carrier
than was at first anticipated.

EFFECT OF THE RULING.
1t Restores to the Old Election
Board All Powers Derived From
the Act of 1878.
MCFARLAND, J.


the Act of 1878.
The decision of the Supreme Court re-
stores to the old Board of Election Com
missioners of the City and County of San
Francisco all the powers which it derived
from the act, of the Legislature of 1873,
which created the board and defined its
duties.
The board as now constituted consists of:
Mayor Adolph Sutro, Populist.
Auditor William Broderick, Democrat.
City and County Attorney H. T. Cres-
well, Democrat.
City and County Surveyor Charles Til
ton, Republican.
Tax Collector James N. Block, Demo-
crat.
The Registrar of Voters, William NJ.
Hinton, who was appointed by Governor
Budd, is Democrat, and the chief deputy
IN the Registrars Office at the time Mr.
Hinton was elected secretary of the COM
mission which has Just been declared un-
constitutional was Peter McGIade, a Dem
ocrat.
| Mr.. McGlade, it seems, resigned that po-
sition to avoid some com plieation under
the new law, but from what Registrar Hin
! ton SAID yesterday 1t is inferred that he
will be reapponted. In other circles it
was supposed that Charles Gildea, ex-mem-
! Der of the State Board of Equalization,
would receive the appointment of chief
! deputy.
The Registrar said concerning the or
ganization of the Office that nothing would
be settled until the remittitur was le-
ceived from the Supreme Court.
The property in the hands of the Board
of Election Commissioners, consisting of
booths hooks, blanks, maps, ETC., was
never transferred to the Commissioners
appointed by Mayor Sutro under the act
which has just been declared void. The
Registrar has, therefore, in his keeping all
the equipments of the office. The old
Board of Election Commissioners, at the
last meeting, adjourned to meet again at
the call of the chairman, Mayor Sutro.
The Mayor will probably call meeting
this week.
The primary election law. which was
enacted by the Legislature at its last ses-
sion. still cuts some figure in calculations.
The opinion is wides pread, however, that
the Supreme Court will declare it to be
contrary to the constitution ana therefore
of no effect.
The Supervisors, in making the tax levy
for the present fiscal year, were guided by
the presumption that the primary election
law would take effect, and therefore set

GIFTS OF BOXES OF ORANGES.
How Pomona Made Glad Large Party

How Pomona Made Glad a Large Party
of Visitors.
General Passenger Agent Goodman of
the Southern Pacific Company is quite
proud of box of oranges that he has on
exhibition on the top of his cylinder desk
1t is a souvenir of an excursion engineered
by the enterprising people of Pomona
from Los Angeles, an affair in which no
less than 1882 people participated.
AS an inducement to people to pay their
town visit the progressive residents of
Pomona promised that each excursionist
would be presented with box of oranges,
and they kept their pledge, despite the
fact that the influx exceeded their most
sangune expectations.
The oranges were all selected specimens,
carefully wrapped in tissue paper, and so
large that each box held but two of the
golden-hued globes. And it detracted
little from the appreciation of the novel
gift that the box measured 7x3x3 inches.

Some Faots For Farmers.

In 1877 the average value of the hay
crop in the United States was $500 per
ton. The following year it dropped to
81. 20, and in 1879, the year next ensu-
ing, it jumped up to So 80 per ton.
Again. In 1891, when this country
was firmly on gold basis, the average
value of the hay crop was So. 40 per ton.
In 1892 it fell to 1918 per ton, and in
1898 it rose to $S.6S per ton. Last year
the average value was So. Sc per ton.
Assuming that the fall in prices is
due to the 'fcrime of 1873" how are
these fluctuations to be accounted for?
Will some Bryapite explain also why it
is that the average value of the hay crop
per ton was greater in 1895, when we
were on a gold basis, than it was in
1873, when gold was at premium?
Hay has undoubtedly declined in price
since 1873, but why should it not have
done so? Apart from cheaper methods
of production and cheaper rates of trans
portation, the annual hay crop increased
from 25, OS5, 100 tons in 1873 to 65,
766, 158 tons in 1898. Last year it
amounted to about Al, 100000
At the same time the number of
horses in the United States increased
only from 9, 222, 47O in 1878 to 10, 893, :
81S in 1895. 1t is estimated that there
are nearly 1,1OO. 900 fewer horses in
this country today than there were three
years ago.
These plain facts and figures should
not be hard to comprehend. Let the
farmer study them before he allows
himself to be hoodwinked by free silver
demagogism.
