considerabl note in the supreme court:
The case of State of Vermont VS.. Frank
Morrill, has just been heard and disposed
of in the supreme court at Montpelier.
Morrill, was tried at the last term of court
4 in this county for horse stealing, having
stolen the property at Coaticook, In Can
ada, and brought it to Newport, where he
offered to sell it, and finally abandoned it
at feed stable. He was convicted and sent
to States prison for three years. The case
was carried to the supreme court on the
ground that it did not constitute an Of
Tense against this State; that the crime
was punishable in Canada, and not else
where But the court held otherwise, and
the prisoner is remanded to Windsor to
serve out his time. States Attorney Annis
appeared for the State; E. A. Cook for the
respondent.

The administration of the Pension
Bureau came in for some sharp criti-
cism day Or two ago in both houses
Of Congress. It emphasized, in ger
eral way, the old truth that even good
laws may be made obnoxious by a
narrow, carping, unfriendly spirit in
administering them. There is no debt
the nation can owe more sacred than
it assumes to the men who placed
their lives between it and destruction.
That the policy undertaken by party
in power fails to keep the public rev.
enue up to what it should be is not
reason why it should resort to sharp
practice to get out of debts of honor.
If the business of that country had
been sustained on basis of prospect
ty we would have heard less of re-
trenchment in pensions. 1t is not
fair that the pensioner should feel the
pinch first, nor right that he should
be looked upon as blackmailer.
The failure of Gen. Campos in Cuba
is acknowledged by his retirement
and the substitution Of Lieut.. Gen.
Polaviejo as Captain General and
commander of the Spanish forces.
Nothing could SO completely de-
mOnstrate the strength of the revolu-
ton in Cuba as the failure of Spain's
ablest General to subdue it with the
great number of soldiers placed at his
disposal.
The new Captain General served in
the ten years. war in Cuba, and was
noted for his severe discipline and his
extreme cruelty towards the insur-
gents If similar methods shall be
employed now it may very soon be-
come question how much longer the
sympathy Of our people with their
near neighbor struggling for freedom
and elf-government will consent to
official suppression.
Cuba has a right to freedom. Her
people have established the fact of
belligerency in successfully resisting
and sending home in failure Spain's
most distinguished General World.

SUSPICIOUS FIR.

Fire Marshal TOwe Investigating the
Bush-Street Saloon Affair.
Fire Marshal Towe continued his inves-
tigation yesterday into the cause of the
incendiary fire in the saloon at 81 Bush
street early Wednesday morning, pub
lished exclusively in yesterdays CALL.
He had NJ. C. Wenceslow, the proprietor
of the saloon, at his Office and took his
statement under oath. Wenceslow admit
ted that he had two policies on his stock
and fixtures, one for $1,000 with the Home
Mutual, taken out in June, and the other
for $500 with the Home Phoenix, taker
out on September 8. He admitted that all
the fixtures and furniture in the saloon
were the property of Mrs. Sullivan, the
owner, and that he insured property that
did not belong to MIN. He did not give
any satisfactory reason for doing SO.
Another fact the Fire Marshal brought
out was that on Tuesday Wenceslow, or
Winslow, as he sometimes calls himself

to ask for permit to take other insurance

HELD FOR MURDER.
Result Of the Preliminary Examination
of John Collins, Long
ahnreman.

The preliminary examination of John
Collins, longshoreman, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Margaret Crowley, 315
Beale street, was held before Judge Camp
bell yesterday.
The evidence was similar to that given
at the Coroher's inquest. Collins was in
Mrs. Crowley's house on the night of
August %. They were drinking, and Col
Inns struck one of Mrs. Cfowley's chill
dren. Mrs. Crowley interfered and Collins
knocked her down, kicked her and choked
her. She was taken to the City and
County Hospital, where it was found her
left leg was broken and she was suffering
from abdominal injuries. She died on
August 81 and DIR. Barrett, who made the
autopsy, attributed her death TO peri
tonitis.
The defense tried 20 show that Mrs.
Crowley was not knocked down nv Col
Inns, but fell, breaking her leg. 1t was
not attempted to explain now she died
from peritonitis, as Dr. Barrett had testi-
fed it could not have been caused by the
broken leg.
The Judge decided to hold Collins to
answer before the Superior Court on the
charge of murder. His attorney asked
that bonds be fixed for Collins release
and the Judge said he would give his de.
cision tomorrow on that point.

A Story That Recalls the Ven.
lures of Planter Campbell
of Honolulu.
RoPED INTO A GAMBLINe-DEN
By Pulling a Six-Shooter He Forces
His Captors 10 Allow Him
TO Escape.

S. II. Rowland, the well-known mining
man from Jackson, Amador County, who
is now staying at the Grand Hotel, had an
adventure with several strangers last
Wednesday in a room on Eddy street that
reminds him of the Winthrop affair.
However, the fellows caught the old Cali
fornia miner with big six-shooter in his
hand and the game stopped short, not to go
again. They decoyed him to the room as
Millionaire Campbell was decoyed, but
there were no chains and handouts and,
unfortunately, no arrests.
The story of Mr.. HowIand's ventures is
as follows: About two weeks ago How
land was strolling along the sidewalk,
near the Grand Hotel, when he was ac-
costed by brisk young man, who asked
the way to the park. He was a total
stranger, he said, and when he received
the required information he disappeared
Several days afterward he again accosted
Rowland at the door of the hotel and was
again after information. He had lottery
ticket, which he said had won $45 and he
must get it cashed in Oakland. How
could he reach Oakland, he asked.
Three or four days later he again APP
peared to the old miner as that gentleman
was taking his customary stroll along New
Montgomery street, and in fiippant man
ner stated that he had to get his ticket
cashed at 20 Eddy street. as the Oakland
agent wanted TO charge him IS commits
sion for collection. Again he was mud
died as to localities around the City, he
was such stranger, and asked where Eddy
street was. He was told to go TO the
Baldwin ana any one there could direct
him Alright.
"Oh, 1 don't know where the - that
Baldwin is" he answered profanely.
Suppose you take a walk up there with
me?n he asked. 81 don't like the way

The man who had gone through some of
the hardest places in the West was not
biting at every hook that swung in his
reach, but feeling able to take care of him
self he concluded to stand in and raise the
young fellows ante with a full hand of
lead if there was any game.
They entered the building at 20 Eddy
street, aud in a small room found-as he
expected-a gambling table with several
hard-looking customers betting and win

that his companion flung the door, shut

Forty of the hundred delegates who at
tended the American Protective Associa.
ton Municipal Convention at 1o2 o. Farrell
street last evening bolted deliberately and
concertedly, and caused much excitement
in the gathering.
The leaders of the bolt admitted after
ward that they went there with the full
intention of seeking an excuse to walk out
and that they will continue as boilers as
long as the association persists in its pres
emit course regarding the nomination oi
municipal officers.
The forty and some others who did moi
take part in the bolt believe that it is the
better policy to wait until the various
parties have all held their conventions
and nominated candidates before putting
forth the associations choices. The re-
mainder think that the time is ripe fol
nominations, and neither side will com
promise. When Chairman DR.. Fitch
raped for order last evening there was q
panicky feeling in the hall that increased
until the climax came.
The feeling among the delegates was
shown by the remarks that were made be-
fore the convention was well under WAY.

one delegate as another man rose to speak,
and similar expressions came from other
parts of the hall. The boilers saw no op-
portuniiy to carry out their purpose until
the report of the committee on resolutions
was reached. This body had provided a
measure limiting speeches TO three min
utes.
DR.. TITUS, the leader of the boilers, took
this as his cue and delivered strong talk
against it, terming it a gag resolution and
an outrage. In spite of his protest the
measure was adopted, and then the boilers
bol;ed.

WARNING THE PUBLIC.
Superintendent Flint Says Uncle Sans
Mail Must Not Be Distracted or
Retarded.

The following letter from Superintend-
emit Flint of the railway mail service is
self-explanatory:
SAN FRANCISCO Cal, Sept II, 1896.
The general public has been notified through
the press that a railway postoffce service has
been established in the City of San Francisco
for the purpose of enhancing the delivery and
dispatch of mail from oil portions of the City
contiguous to the lines over which said service
has been established. time card has been
made upon which these cars will run. In order
to have the public served in the best poss ible
manner il is absolutely necessary that the
schedule as made should be closely adhered to
in the running of these cars.
In this connection / would invite the atten-
ton of the public to section 694 of the postal
laws and regulations of 1893 in relation to
penalty for obstructing the mails, which is fol-
lows:
Amy person who shall knowingly and will
fully obstruot or retard the passage of the
mail, or any carriage, horse, driver. or carrier
carrying the same, shall, for every such offense
be punishable by fine eff not more than one
hundred dollars" Revised Statutes 3995)
L think it will only be necessary to call the
attention of the public to this section in
order to have all persons traversipg the streets
of San Francisco give these cars free passage
way over such streets, to prevent detention to
the United States mails. Very respectfully

WHERE = THE MAUNA ALA.
Sailed From Puget Sound Nov
ember 9th.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, March 9.
alarm is manifested for the
safety of two vessels, one bound to and
one from Puget Sound, whose masters
are we'll and favorably known along
the Pacific coast. The Hawaiian bark
William Smith,
which sailed from this port November
9th, laden with cargo of lumber valu-
ed at $4,000, is long overdue at Port
Adelaide, Australia. The vessel is we'll
insured, staunch, seaworthy and in the
charge of an experienced and skillful
who is thoroughly familiar
with the ocean between Puget Sound
and the English colonies in the South
Pacific
. He made a wager with another ship
master, Captain Rasch OF the German
bark Bertha, which sailed for the same
destination nineteen days later, with
lumber, and was determined to make a
quick voyage, for which the Mauna Ala
is noted on the Pacific ocean.
The Bertha arrived at Port Adelaide
February 18th, and reported experience
ing severe gales during the entire pas
sage. The Muna Ala was faster sail
er, which causes general apprehension
to be manifested for her safety. Cap
tain Smith has visited the Sound annu-
ally for the last eight years in the same
vessel
