WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Another

fulness of the ill-fated battle-ship Tex-

it is warning from the medical Off

that while it will be feasible to wash
out most of the foul sediment that was
deposited in accessible portions of the
vessel, it will be exceedingly difficult to
reach the numerous seams in the bulk
heads and small angles into which solid
particles of sewage have accumulated,
and that the affected compartments

PORTLAND (Or.). Nov. 2S. - The
steamer Dalles City, plying between
Portland and The Dalles, struck on the
rocks in the Columbia River last night.
A big hole was stove in the bow. and

There were on board twenty-five pas
sengers, four carloads of cattle and two
of hogs. None of the passengers or
stock was lost.
A furious gale was blowing on the
river and the Columbia is full of float
ing ice, making navigation dangerous
and difficult. The Dalles City left down
for Portland yesterday morning, but
as she failed to get through the Gov
ernment locks, which were frozen, she
turned back. The vessel lies half SUBJ

RECORD OF THE ASSASSIN.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S.-A spe-
cial to the "Call' from San Diego says:
James p. Kelly, who was shot by the
San Jose police this morning, had
long and broken record. He leaves
son and daughter in San Diego. Kelly's
crookedness first developed at Denver
in 1884, when he ordered a big lot of
jewelry from an Eastern firm amount
ing to about $1,000, remarked and
shipped it at Denver for some point on
this coast and then disappeared He
sent word to his wife and children to
follow him to San Antonio, Tex. They
went there, but he was nowhere to be
found. Mrs. Kelly was forced to work
out, and her two sons and daughter,
as they grew older, supported them
selves.
After some years of bitter poverty
Mrs. Kelly secured a divorce and mar
ried 0. Steiner and moved to San
Diego. Later her children followed her.
The older son went into partnership
with StelZner in a grocery and built up
quite business. The mother died and
the children took up 32O acres of land
at Escondido. With the strictest
economy they managed to acquire a
little property worth $1,000 or $4,000,
including three lots at San Antonio.
Soon after his mothers death the eld-
est son, w. F. Kelly, stepped on a
rusty nail and died of lockjaw
Last November, after a silence of
eleven years, without a word received
from him, Kelly turned up at Phila-
delphia. He had skipped to Australia.
Pursued by Dun's Agency, and after a
checkered career, he skipped back to
Philadelphia, taking with him the wo-
man, Mrs. Mack, whom he tried to
kill to-day. She left her husband and
took her two little children with her.
Kelly, learning of his children's good
fortune in San Diego, wrote a loving
letter to them, and soon after turned up
in this city. He then went by the name
of Mack. Finding that his children did
not display enough filial love to turn
all their property over to him and his
mistress from Australia, Kelly brought
suit, first having obtained appointment
as administrator of the estate Of his
deceased son. The old man took pos
session Of the grocery store and run
the thing into the ground. The court
awarded the property at Escondido to
the old man, and the boy, after work
ing hard for number of years, was
left without cent. The daughters
| portion of the estate was also confis-
| Gated by Kelly.
For a short time Kelly ran a small
jewelry store, the property being in the
name of Mrs. Mack. The business fell
| through, and Kelly, after robbing her,
deserted her and went to San Jose
She learned Of his whereabouts and
followed him to San Jose some months
ago. They made up and lived together,
with occasional quarrels, until to-day's

A Revolution Likely to Occur at Any
Moment.
A Steamer Runs on the Rocks in the
Columbia River, a Big Hole Being
Stove in Her BOw-The Vessel
Beached and the Passengers and
Crew Safely Landed.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 2S.-The officers of
the British sloop-of-war Wild Swan,
which arrived here late on Friday even
ing from South American ports. ad-
mitted to-day that serous trouble was
threatened in Chile by the revolution
lists at the departure of the sloop. Duels
and personal encounters between Bal
macedites and followers of ErraZuriz
were of frequent occurrence while the
Wild Swan was at Iquique, where it lay
at anchor on election day, September
18th last.
The officers learned from reliable
sources that the BalmacedaS, through
coalition with the opposition party, in
reality fusion of Liberals and Conser-
vatives, were giving their consent to the
election of Errazuriz, with the intention
of gaining time for a conspiracy then
forming to overturn the Government.
AS result of the fusion the friends of
Errazuriz secured promise Of several
places in the Cabinet. The officials so ia
vored were to cause dissension among
the supporters of Errazuriz and by
overturning the Cabinet take advantage
of the crisis and start a revolution.
The reports that the British officers
heard both at Iquique and Coquimbo
were that Errazuriz was elected by the
smallest majority in the history of
Chilean Presidential campaigns, and
soon after the election revolutionary
tactics We're very noticeable at Coquim-
bo and Iquique over the Cabinet selected
by President Errazuriz, who was unable
himself to remain on good terms with
the members. To add to the trouble,
the Finance Minister reported that a
deficit of $S,O00,OO0 would be shown at
the end of 1896, the principal expense
being in building UP the navy.
The President also had trouble with
the Minister of the Interior regarding
the appointment of Governors for Ger
tain districts, and the Minister, who is
said to be friendly to the opposition,
made most of his chance to SOW seeds of
discord. On financial questions the
greatest trouble arose, as the Cabinet
assumed dictatorial methods. and the
certain downfall of the Ministry was
expected when Congress met on Novem-
Der I'd. The Wild Swan was at Quay
aquil on that date, and did not learn
what took place in Chile. 1t was said
that President Errazuriz had invited
Barros Luco, a leading Liberal poll
tician, to form a new Cabinet in case
the first one went to pieces, and this he
is shown to have done. The Balmace-
dists are certain to stir up trouble, and
there is every indication that it will be
serious.

SMOKED ON THE SCAFFOLD.
Execution of a Negro Who Murdered

Young, a negro, was hanged here to-
day. The murderer ascended the scat
1oid smoking cigar, seemingly in
diflerent to his fate until the trap was
being adjusted. Then he gave signs of
some fear. The doomed man neither
confessed nor denied his guilt, but said
he was ready and willing to die.
The crime for which he was hanged
was most brutal. His victim was a
young girl about 16 years of age, who
was ms sister. He crushed her skull
with an ak and her face was also mu-
tilated. The girl recovered conscious
ness long enough to tell that her BROTH
er had done the deed. An outraged

HONOLULU, Nov. 81 (T'o the United

lists In Honolulu that Minister Coop
er's errand to the United States last
month is nothing less than to assist
Minister Hatch at Washington in ne
gotiating a treaty of annexation with
President Cleveland. Cooper took the
Government stenographer along as Pri-
vate Secretary, a strong indication that
his errand was OF peculiar Importance.
1t is not learned why the President is
believed to have so changed his mind

ject of annexation. 1t is highly proba-

DOUBT IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES.
WASHINGTON, Nov 2S.-Some
doubt is expressed in official circles
respecting the report that the Hawaiian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr.. Cooper.
is coming to Washington to assist
Minister Hatch in negotiating a treaty
of annexation between the islands and
the United States. Mr.. Cooper has been
in this country about a month, and
since his arrival he has been employed
principally in an inspection of the Haw-
aiiap Consuiates on the Pacific Coast
and in other parts of the country. He
will reach Washington early next week
and during his stay here will discuss
Hawaiian matters fully with Mr.. Hatch,
but not. it is understood with a view
to bringing the subject of annexation
before Congress this winter. What ac-
ton the Hawaiian Government will
take for annexation after Mckinley
goes into power cannot be stated, but it
is asserted in a general way that if the
new administration shall favor the
proposition it will be speedily brought
to their attention.
Francis Hatch, the Hawaiian Min
New England for some months, is
again in the city. He declines to dis
cuSs the subject of annexation, but re-
fers all inquirers to the resolution
adopted by the Hawaiian Congress last
May, which contained a declaration
strongly favoring the annexation of the
islands to the United States. 1t will be
remembered that the Harrison admin
iStration, acting through Secretary of
State Foster in February, 1893, nego-
tiated a treaty of annexation with a
special committee of Hawaiians who
came to Washington for that purpose.
The treaty was sent to the Senate. but

FOUL MURDER.
Headless Body of a rlan Found bv
Two Hunters in New JERSEY.

JERSEY CITY On. j., Nov. 2SATwo
boys, while cunning on the Hackensack
Meadows to-day, discovered the decap-
itated body Of man lying alongside
of the tracks of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railway. The
place where the body was found is in
kearney Township. A large knife be-
smeared with blood was lying near the
body. The body was subsequently re-
moved to the Morgue in this city. The
police of this city are now working on
the case. Their theory is that the man
was murdered in the roadway and the
body subsequently secreted in the
bushes alongside the track.
