Miller General Agent of the Yosemite
Valley Stage Company, is dead
He passed away about Z o'clock this
morning after a long spell of sickness,
which is supposed to have had it's ori-
gin in an attack Of grip about a year

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Recommendation in Reports of Gem
eraI Officers Discussed,

ROCH ESTER On. Y.), Nov. 1Se-The
delegates to the General Assembly of
the Knights of Labor gave up the
morning session to a discussion Of the
recommendations embodied in the re-
ports of the general officers and the
Committee on the State of the Order.
No action was taken.
The question of inserting in the pre-
amble free silver plank, as recon-
mended in the report of General Master
Workman Sovereign, is the most seri
Gus question which the assembly has
yet to settle Since 1889 the General
Assemblies have simply indorsed free
silver, and it has never been made part
Ct the preamble. The question was dis
cussed at great length to-day, each del
eagte taking part. No action was
taken.
The question of establishing a degree
in the order known as Minute Men
was also discussed. The convention will
rot adjourn until tomorrow night
Tomorrow the assembly will discuss
the question that while monetary re-
form is fully provided for in the six
teenth and seventeenth planks of the
preamble, the free coinage CT gold and
silver ait a ratio of 16 to /, regardless of
the action of any other nation, is i'm
portant, looking toward the ultimate
success Of the system we desire. and we
therefore indorse the agitation in favor
of free coinage as a means to the end
we seek.
The Woman's Suffrage Convention
sent an invitation to the knights to at
tend one of their meetings after being
refused admission to the convention of
The knights The invitation will be ac-
cepted.
\ resolution was introduced and
adopted refusing admission into the

mended tha. the General Executive

retained in the control of the national
worlSmen and the foreign workers be
kept out. a resolution to this effect was
IaSSod.

BIG LAND FRAUD.
A Matter Which Will be Investigated
by the Grand Jury.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S.-One of
the most gigantic land frauds ever at
tempted in this State, which had it
been successful, would have netted the
projectors many thousands of dollars,
has just come to light. The recent Fed
eral Grand Jury left a legacy to the
United States District Attorney in the
shape of three secret indictments
charging prominent citizens of Butte
County with attempting to defraud the
Government by causing certain ac-
knowledged mineral properties to be
entered at the Marysville Land Office
as timber lands. The parties accused
are o. NJ. Enslow, Fred Jones and Lin
coin Brodt. The land in question is
situated near Magalia, Butte County
and covers an area of something over
900 acres. Within this territory is To-
Gated the Alkali mine, owned by NJ. L.
Merry and George Parry. This mineral
grant covers 800 acres.
1t appears from the evidence pre-
sented to the Grand Jury that Lincoln
BrOdt was the principal in the at
tempted steal, though he was ably
backed by Jones and Enslow. The lat
ter was, up to two years ago, Surveyor
Of Butte County, and consequently ia
miliar with the general character of
the lands. For over ten years Merry
and Parry have been operating the AL
kali mine as well as other claims with
in the territory claimed by Jones, Ems
low and Brodt as timber lands. They
have constructed fumes, bitches, hoist
ing works and altogether spent some
thing like $4,000 in the development
of the property.
When three months ago they were
Informed by the Land Agent at Marys-
vile that a timber patent had been
issued to the land, a searching inquiry
was instituted. 1t was then brought
out that Brodt was the ringleader
though EnsloWs former official posi-
ton made him a valuable aid. The
matter was brought to the attention Of
the District Attorney here, who in turn
reported the facts as he knew them to
the Grand jury
The record-union., 1896-11-19
Said the President Elect Has Settled Upon
the Geographical Distribution.
Middle West to Get the Treasury, the
East the State Department.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, According to
the Gossipers, Will be Selected by
rlajor Mckinley as the Successor
of Secretary of State Olney.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-A Washington
special says: 1t is said here that Major
Mckinley has settled already upon the
main geographical distribution of his
Cabinet, and the work from now on
will consist entirely of the selection and
canvassing of names for the different
places on the basis which has been
outlined.
Under this supposed scheme it is said
that the Secretary of the Treasury VIII
certainly come from the territory be-
tween the Alleghanies and the Missouri
River, and the Secretary OF State VIII
be chosen from some one of the States
east of the mountains. This theory IS
in harmony with more or less we'll
known desire of the President-elect to
keep the Treasury Department free of
the suspicion of undue influence on the
part of Wall street There is a good deal
of quiet talk here on the assumption
that the treasury is going West, con-
Meeting New York with the position OF
Secretary of State.
For some reason which is not entirely
apparent the name of Chauncey M.
Depew keeps cropping up in the most
unexpected quarters. The gossips are
out the ldcl tildI lie SoiilNo
from the great Empire State, which has
the closest connections with foreign ma
ton, and that in addition to this his
wealth and social position would
strengthen the administration, espe-
cially among the foreigners visiting
here.
The Secretary of State under the
present regime has very onerous social
duties. He is expected to be-preSent at
the formal dinners at the various iega-
tions, and is almost obliged to entertain
the diplomats at frequent dinners him
self, besides being the direct represen-
tative of the administration at the state
dinners held at the White House. En-
thusiastc admirers of the great New
York after-dinner orator declare that
his peculiar talents in this direction
would be of ineStimable service to the
administration, and that he could rep
resent Major Mckinley at big ban
quets throughout the East in exactly
the same way that Comptroller EckelS
is said to represent the financial side
of President ClevelandS administration.
In all the gossip concerning Chauncey
NJ. Depew, any other New Yorker
would be satisfactory if the factions
from that State could agree upon him.
It is said that Mr.. Depew would be
more acceptable to both Platt and Bliss
than any other man.
The early gossip naturally connected
Mr.. Depew with a foreign mission,
where his talents as an after-dinner
talker would have full scope, but lat
terly it has come to be more or less an
accepted fact that New York is to have
good place in the Cabinet, particularly
because geographical reasons will pre-
vent Mr. Bliss from being put at the
head Of the treasury.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S.-The

vened at 10 O'Clock this morning in
the basement of st. Mary's Church ON

The Committee ON Laws and Order

1t was also recommended that a lib
eral sum be placed at the disposal of

ganizing purposes.
The recommendation was also made
that the Treasurer of the State Coun-
ell be required to give a bond of $1,000
for the ensuing year, and that he alone

The report of the Committee on
Finance was read and accepted.
Spiritual Advisor Rev Serda pre-
sented his resignation from that office,
and recommended the election Of
Father Cummings, pastor Of st.
Charles Borromeo Church at Roswell
and Eighteenth streets, San Francisco.
as his successor. Subsequently the
resignation was not accepted, and he
was reelected by acclamation.

MURDER OF MRS. GREENWOOD.
PLACED ON THE
WITNESS-STAND
Saws the Confession Made at Los An-
geies Was Done While Suffering
From DeIirium Tremens.

NAPA, Nov. 1S.-The defense began
the introduction of testimony in the Roe
murder trial this morning. The opening
statement was made by Attorney York
who said that in defense some of Roe's
life for several years past would be fol-
lowed, and that witnesses would testify
to his good character. The defendant
himself would be placed on the witness
stand and would deny the truth of the
confession made. The Introduction OF
testimony then began.
The course of the defense was as laid
down in the opening statement. Sew
eral witnesses testified to Roe's good
reputation.
Defendant then testified, stating that
the confession made to Shaug in Los
Angeles was done while he was suffering
from deMrfum tremens. He wanted to
die and made a confession thinking ne
would be lynched and that Shaug would
get the reward. He said the entire con-
fession was lie and a fabrication, and
that he furnished only the names Of
people he was acquainted with and dates
where he had been in certain places
finished the story.
Sheriff Mckenzie has a theory about
the murder of Deputy-Sheriff Maltby of
Woodland. and the theory involves the
present prisoner. The Maltby mystery
has never been solved, and Roe is the
first man who has claimed to know
about it, When Maltby's body was ex-
hunned several days after the murder
the suspicion of poisoning was not veri-
fed. According to Sheriff McKenzie's
theory, if Roe poisoned Maltby he prob
ably would have used chloroform with
which he was so familiar, and the traces
of the poison would not have been dis
covered in the examination made after
the body had been for some time buried
Under Sheriff John Maltby was mys-
teriously killed in 1882, and there is no
doubt but that Roe was IN Woodland at
the time Roe told Sheriff Mckenzie
that he could clear UP THE Maltby muir
der mystery.
