kind regarding the cause of the killing.
w. H. Bailey gave the most important
testimony at the inquest, Newcomer
having given him, briefly, the reasons for
his act.
1.-The first knew of any trouble was
Tuesday morning between 8 and 9
O'clock said Bailey. "Mr. Newcomer
came to the house and turned over the
keys to his cabin to me, saying he had
shot Colonel Dorsey. He wanted me to
go down and take charge of the place. 1
asked him how it happened and he said
he asked the colonel to appoint receiver
for their mine, and the colonel said he
would have gold enough to pay every
thing. Hot words followed and Dorsey
reached for his pistol, but Newcomer drew
his first and fired. He said he did not
know if he had killed Dorsey or not, but
thought that he had. He then rode away
and said that he was going to Sonora to
give himself up.''
Newcomer is reported as having said in
Columbia on yesterday that Dorsey ac-
cused him of stealing amalgsm from the
mills. He called Dorsey liar. Dorsey
reached for his pistol, but Newcomer got
in the first shot. Dorsey's nephew, as we'll
as others who were at the mine at the time
of the shooting, knew of no trouble be-
tween the partners. Dorsey's pistol could
not be found, although it was his custom
to carry one always. The searchers did
find cartridges on his person.
Dorseys friends attempted to bring his
body out from the mine on mule to-day.
The mule became fretful and unmanage-
able and after hard work they succeeded
in getting the body from its back, and, en-
folding it in a blanket, strapped it to a
puckboard. They are bringing the corpse
by the wagon road via Sugar Pine, dis
tance of thirty-fve miles. 1t will reach
Sonora before morning.
Colonel Dorsey was cousin of the late
Caleb Dorsey, for many years District At
torney of this county and prominent
mining lawyer. The Colonel was Mason
of high rank.

SEATTLE, WASH, April 22.-The Puget

passed into the hands of the Federal Gov
eminent to-day with the docking as an
official test of the harbor of the coast de-
tense vessel Monterey. The calsson was
holsted at o'clock A. NJ, and when the
great warship passed through the gate at
extreme low tide-the water being twenty
six feet deep over the sill at this time-a
mighty cheer arose from the thousand or
more persons present as the Monterey's
nose broke beautiful blue ribbon which
was strung across as an artificial barrier.
Without break or mishap OF any kind
the vessel settled upon the blocks. and by
the noon hour she was visible from ste m
to stern and exposed to view from her up
permost deck to her keel. Three great
pumps, which were Moran Bros make,
could have emptied the dock within less
than two hours, but it was o'clock and
after when all the water was removed, ex-
posing and making prisoner, as was done
by lowering the caisson, of million fish,
ranging in size from a light torehnger to
ten pounds in weight. The dock was in
charge to-day of Commander ]. G.

Captain Ludlow, who mastered the Monte

into the charge of Naval Constructor Bax-

The British warship Pheasant and her

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH. April o.
The schooner Falcon, Captain Peterson,
arrived to-day from Kodiak, Alaska. the
1400 miles being traversed in exactly seven
days-steamer time. The Falcon recently
took cargo of supplies to the station and
came to the sound for a cargo of lumber.
News was brought by the Falcon of the
loss of the trading schooner Seventy-six,
which left Kodiak about four months ago,
manned by five men, for a trading cruise.
There was provisions aboard sufficient to
last only three weeks, and as the vessel
has never been reported it is surmised
that it was lost with all on board.
The fishing schooner Lizzie B, which
left here month ago bound for Kodiak.
came back to port this morning in distress,
having run short of water and provisions
after making $50 miles against head winds
and terrific seas. For the past two days
there had not been single drop of water
aboard and the men began showing the
effects of it. The men will be paid off
here.

itself in the difficulty of making collec-

Secretary of State for the Colonies, reiter-
ated his formerly expressed views regard
ing South African affairs. He insisted
that Great Britain must above all things
prevent foreign Intervention and expressed
hope that harmony would soon be restored.
In his remarks Mr. Chamberlain di-
vulged nothing regarding the negotiations
now in progress. The Government. he
said, was fully alive to the serious posi-
tion resulting from the revolt in Matabele-
land but believed that the suppression of
the outbreak could be best achieved by the
local forces and, therefore, unless an unex-
pected emergency should arise he would
not send large detachment of imperial
troops to the scene of the trouble.

DR.. David Starr Jordan. who plays fine
first base and is also a fair pitcher. DR..
Jordan was IN times past phenomenally
heavy batter, but when he was compelled
to use glasses it interfered with his batting
eye considerably. Professor Richardson,
head of the chemistry department, is the
catcher of the team. Once he was star
at Lehigh. Then there is Professor An
gell, head of the psychology department,
who has played ball since he was a boy
and Is undoubtedly the best man on the
team. Professor Fish is a good pitcher
and will probably fill the box. Professor
Young is star third baseman. This
match is always very interesting for the
students, who take pleasure in ioshing
their "Profs" on this occasion.
Sunday morning will be devoted to the
baccalaurate sermon in the chapel. May
25 will be senior class day. The farce en-
titled, "An intercollegiate Affair."" will be
given in the morning. This farce was one
of six offered the committee, and was
chosen as the best. The play was written
by W. H. Irwin '9S. A prize of $25 went
to the winner. In the afternoon the class
will hold literary exercises and the even
ing will be devoted to the senior hop.
Alumni day falls on Tuesday, May 26,
and in the evening grand promenade
concert will take place in the quadrangle,
which is to be Illuminated for the occa-
sion. The finest band on the coast will be
engaged for this affair.
