VERY SERIOUS QUESTION.

1--WE denounce arbitrary interference by
Federal authorities in local affairs as a
violation of the constitution OF the United
States and crime against free institutions
and we especially object to government
by injunction as a new and highly danger
Gus form of oppression by which. Federal
Judges, in contempt OF the laws of the
states and rights of citizens, become at
once legislators, judges and eXecutoners. !"
We quoted, last week, a portion of the
above plank of the Chicago platform with
comments thereon by Tennessee demo
cratic newspaper and EX-president HaIyi-
son, and recur to the subject again because
there is involved in this declaration a
question OF even more serious character
than the free silver heresy, viz Must the
United States under no conditions take
action to protect life, enforce Federal
Statutes, or even suppress rebellion in any
state, so long as a weak or corrupt gov
ernor fails to ask Federal aid.
The law abiding people Of the United
States have not forgotten the great Chicago
riot of the summer oil 1S9i which, threaten
ing to extend to other sections of the country,
caused anxious suspense and alarm through
out the land, and led European observers to
predict the imminent downfall of the Ameri-
can Union. They remember, too, that the
governor OF lllinOis-the pardoner of the hay
market bomb-t hrowers-whose duty it was
to maintain order, took no measures to
enforce law, and that the Federal Govern
ment was obliged to step in, keep Chicago
from pillage, and torcibly suppress the
riotous disorders which had stopped the
carriage OF the mails and interstate com
merce, and were defying the civil officers
OF the United States. And this is the
interference by Federal authorities
which the Chicago plank above quoted pro-
tests against-a protest which Mr.. Bryan
in his letter accepting the Chicago nomina-
ton amplities upon and defends, leaving ii
to be clearly understood that the Presi-
dent has no power under the constitution
and laws to maintain the government
intrusted TO his charge, and that, if elected
he would not himself exercise such power,

and the Chicago deliverance on the subject

THE Philadelphia Record effectually dis
poses of the Popocrats' lament that gold is
becoming scarcer. The fact is, it says, that
there is more gold in circulation and as a
basis of paper currency than at any former
period of history. AS to the alleged de-
cline in the supply, the report of the Di-
rector of the Mint shows that while the

POSSES RETURN TO USAL
Two Mudgett Murder Suspects
Still at Large in the
Mountains.
Search Will Be R sumed After the
Hearing of Those Under
Arrest.

CAHTO, CAL, Nov. 1.-THE sheriff 5
officers returned to Usal tonight, having
failed to effect the capture of Smith and
Noble, the last of the quartet suspected OF
completely In the murder of rancher John
Mudgett. Deputy Sheriffs Hart and Day
saw they have the two men located and do
not anticipate any great difficulty in
effecting their capture. The preliminary
hearing of the Dodge family and Ferguson,
which Is set for tomorrow. requires the
presence of the officers, hence their
abandonment of the pursuit for the
present.
The evidence against the Dodge family
is strongly circumstantial. The family is
known TO have been soreiy pressed for
money for some time prior 10 the murder,
and Immediately afterward young Dodge
endeavored TO negotiate draft that was
payabl. to Mudgett. Other members OF
the family suddenly became possessed of
money and made lavish expenditures
This in itself seemed abundant reason for
holding them for trial. District Attorney
Sturtevant of Ukiah and Judge Balm Bridge
OF Usai will conduct the hearing.
There is noticeable lull in the excite
ment to-day as compared with yesterday.
The community is apparently satisfied to
await the result of the examination. The
prisoners are well guarded.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Nov. 1.-THE off.

therefore, 4G4.
Congressman Bowers declines to say
whether he will contest the election of his
opponent. desiring time to study over the
matter. Up to this evening MIR. Bowers
had expressed confidence that he was re-
elected, but official returns, showing
y Castles plurality to he in the height bor-
hood of 300. find him a greatly disap.
pointed man. His close friends do not be-
lieve that he will make any effort to defeat
Castle, whose plurality is much larger
than was considered possible a few day:

Bowers attributes his defeat to Judge

failing to secure a denomination, thus, il

from the regular ticket by com binations

Bowers chances. Bowers was expected to
have a plurality of nearly 1000 in this
county, but the actual figures are less
than half that number.

Watching for the B uecoat's

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. II. = Three
years ago William Davrey, the owner of a
farm near Vancouver, WASH, went to Ari-
zona to engage in mining, pursuit in
which he believed he could the more read
lily lit mortage resting upon his place.
Davrey at that time was about 80 years
old. He left behind two children and
wife, whom he had reason to believe was
both loving and faithful.
1t appears that Davrey succeeded fairly
well, for, from time to time, he RENTED
money to his wife to assist in freeing his
farm from debt. Recently Mrs. Davrey re-
ceived $500 draft from her husband for
that purpose, and in reply she wrote to
him that she would no longer consider
herself his wife, and asked his advice as
to what disposition should be made of
their children. He at once took his de-
parture from Arizona for home, but when
he reached Vancouver, two days ago. his
wife was not there to bid him welcome.
He learned that the last $500 he remitted
had not been applied to the Tart canceia-
ton OF the mortgage upon his farm, but
that the faithless woman had appropri-
ated it to her own use. Then he ascer-
tanned that his wife had eloped with Ray
Cleary, deserting private soldier from
the barracks. Her two children she left
with friends in Vancouver. but early last
week she sent for her four-year-old
daughter.
Davrey, accompanied by Sheriff Miller
of Vancouver, came 10 Portland yesterday
in the hope of finding the pair. The de-
ceived husband stated that he had no fur
ther use for his runaway wife, bu: all he
wanted was his little girl and the $500 his
wife had robbed him Of All they sue
ceeded in learning was that Mrs. Davrey
and Cleary had left for San Francisco last
Thurday.
By this time all the military authorities
on the coast have been notified of Clearv's
desertion. and his being handicappe by
the woman and her child will make his
capture an easy matter, providing he and
Mrs. Davrey really have gone to San Fran
cisco

THE NEWS OF SAN JOSE.
Mrs. Emma L. Parker Wins
Her Contest for a
Fortune.
A Jury Declares That Her Father
in.Law's Last Testament
Is Invalid.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 1.-THE will OF
the late George H. Parker was broken to-
day, and as It now stands Mrs. Emma L.
Parker. the widow of Edward L. Parker,
the only son OF the testator, will secure
the whole estate. which. is valued at
$3.50, 900. The verdict was that Packer was
OF unsound mind a: the time the will and
both of its codicils were made. The jury
stood nine to three. This was the only
question at issue, as the charges OF fraud
and undue influence were stricken out
during the trial.
Under the will, Edward L. Parker, the
husband of the contestant, was left $500 a
month during his lifetime. and the rest of
the property was bequeathed to relatives.
The first trial resulted in disagreement,
the jury standing seven to five.
A stay of fifteen days was granted pro-
ponents, and new trial will be asked.

IS FELT IN RICHMOND,
McKinley's Election Gives on
Impetus to Business in
the West.
Beneficial Effects Already Apparent
in Raj Estate and I'm.
provements.

"Richmond by the sea" has already felt
the effects of the election of President
Mckinley. Inside of the short space of
one week confidence in the stability OF the
country has had the effect of bringing the
Richmond district into touch. with the
good news from other portions of the
country.
T. G. Parker. the principal real estate
agent for the Richmond district, who was
a candidate for Supervisor OF the Twelfth
Ward, said:
II am willing to confess, although was
a Bryan man, that / have noticed an i'm
provement already in this section. The
fore the election they were in doubt about
investing their money.
II have rented four houses and two
stores since election day, and have had
inquiries for.>choice pieces of property.
Consequently / am willing to confess that
the people who voted for Mckinley were
right, while yet believe Bryan is great
man"
In addition to Mr.. Farker's opinion
others in Richmond have felt the good in
huence. F. NJ Flugeer, who owns the
Boulevard, on the southwest corner of
First and Point Lobos avenues, had an
offer on last Sunday OF S1050 for his sa-
loon and two-siory building, which he de-
clined. This probably is owing to the
fact that First avenue, between Point
Lobos and the park, is about to be BIZ
tuminized in the near future and made a
boulevard.
In addition to this, the streets and ave-
nues running through the old racetracK
are being laid out and will De macad-
amized just as soon as suitable sewers are
run through them.
n,,t e I, ifn n hat Nf
gers, where the big sand hill stood for
centuries on the Irregular lot facing the
Odd Fellows Cemetery, $1,000 building is
now i'll course OF erection. This property
is owned by Mrs. Wheeland, and the
building is being put up by Edward Cox
for the sum mentioned. 1t will consist OF
a store and FIVE flats, and will, when fin
ished, be a decided improvement to this
section of Richmond.
Other buildings are being added to the
Richmond District. A store and two flats
on Point Lobos and Eleventh avenues at
cost of $4,000 are being built
Mr.. Conway is building two dwellings
on Eighth and Point Lobos avenues.
The concrete foundation for Mrs.
Ryer's building. on Fourth avenue and
Clement street. is finished, and the work
of erecting the houses will be pushed to
finish at once.
Ninth and Point Lobos avenues viii
have $2500 residence in the course of
few weeks.
Father Coyie's new parsonage is nearly
finished. He was fortunate in having the
roof on before the rain came.
Several of the streets and avenues are
being macadamiZed and put in condition
for the winter.
The only thoroughfare that seems to be
neglected is Point Lobos avenue. which
has several inches of red mud over its sur
face. But as this ayenne is under the
control of the Park Commissioners the
residents have given up all hopes OF bet
terment in that direction. This and the
blind sewer in front of the French Hos
pital property on Sixth avenue are two
evils from which there seems to be no re-
lief for the present.

PORTLAND, Or. Nov. 11.-John Par

part owner of the Lucky Hill Mining
Company in Nevada. swindied Morris Carr
of this city out of $275 and then departed
for Chicago. 1t is believed he has swindied
others in Portland and Oregon towns.
His method was TO exhibit letters from
the mines, telling of wonderfully rich de-,
velopments. Tuen after Parker had
worked himself well into the acquaint-
anceship of men and secured their conf
dence il was no trouble TO get loan OF q
few hundred dollars on his personal note.
This shielded him from criminal prosecu-

had been duped, and the only recourse
Carr and others have Is the civil courts.
