of ignorance. The men who voted tht
opposition ticket are always scratching
the republican ticket-never vote il

C. c. ThompsOn's school closed at the
center with vocal and instrumental and
well prepared exercises by the pupils,
which goes to show how well they have
been looked after by their teachers. The
exercises were listened to by about thirty
visitors, who showed their interests, not
only in their teacher, but in the school
as well, and the wishes for the district
are that we may be able to keep G. G.
Thompson as teacher as long as possible.

the trial will embrace all the features
incident to the issues of both end line
and side line trespass. The complaint
alleges a willful trespass by defendants
on the dip of plaintiffs ledge and also
across plaintiffs south end line and de-
mands damages in the sum of $1,000

on the dip, admits an unintentional
trespass across the same line upon a
ledge which, upon want of information,
it denies that the plaintiff owns.

BATTLESHIP OREGON.
Admiral Beardsiee Calls Her the Fast
est Craft of Her Class AfIOat.

SANTA BARBARA, May 10.-The
battleship Oregon arrived from San
Francisco this morning. The run down
was a surprise to navy officials, and
Admiral BeardsIee smiles with conf
dence when he asserts that the Oregon
is the fastest craft of her class af1oat.
Her average speed on the downwarH
journey was 1872 knots under ordinary
draught. When called upon for a squirt
she logged 1874 knots and still had
speed in reserve. President Scott of the
Union Iron Works declares that his pet
will exceed II knots without effort in
her official trial., and this belief is also
shared by Admiral Beardslee and the
other members of the trial board. The
finishing touches will be put on the yes
sci tomorrow, and on Tuesday the
great test will be made.

ENGLISH ADVICE TO SPAIN.
She Had Better Curb Her Natural
Ferocity This Time.

LONDON, May 1O.-The Daily
News" will say tomorrow that it re-
CARDS the Competitor case as being of
the most serious nature, recalling as
it does, the Virginius horror. The paper
advises the Spaniards to mistrust their
own national ferocity in cases of this
sort and adds that by prompt and
timely intervention Queen Regent
Christina may find a solution of the
difficulty.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
STANDARD" telegraphs that the anti
American feeling among the Spaniards
has been bitterly revived by the action
of the United States Government in the
case of the filibuSters who are now
under sentence of death at Havana.
The Prime Minister has announced
publicly that the United States does not
protest against the right of Spain to
punish the filibusters, but against their
summary trial by a military court,
claiming that American citizens are
entitled to be tried by the civil court.
Great Britain had also protested
against the execution of Kildea.
The "Epoca'' recommends prudence
and intimates that the Government will
seek to conciliate President Cleveland.
The paper confirms the statement that
the case has been transferred to the
Supreme Council of the Army and Navy
at Madrid. The execution of the SEN
tences is thus virtually shelved.
All the Madrid papers with the ex-
ception of the "Epoca" denounce the
United States in their comments on the
case.
The Standard" will say: "The posi-
ton of the Spanish Government must
attract sympathy. If it quashes the
sentences it will lose the services of
the only man in Cuba whose firmness
and generalship it can rely upon, and
will besides have to face the inyectives
of its countrymen at home. On the
other hand, If the justice of the sem
tences is maintained Spain must face
a probable war to which the Cuban in
surrection will be mere child's play.
The present crisis is produced by con-
ditions which ordinarily good will
would have rendered impossible.
The Chronicle will say: President
Cleveland has an admirable opportu-
nifty to emancipate Cuba. He Will not
regret it If he uses it to the full for
there is no longer any doubt that Span
ish rule in Cuba is abominable."

AGREED AT LAST.
Raisin Packers of Fresno Will Ship
No More on Consignment.

FRESNO, May 10.-Raisin-g growers
of this and adjoining counties have
been waiting patiently for three weeks
for the report of the committee which
was appointed to fix prices and arrange
the sale of raisins this season. An in
formal report was made last evening,
and printed report will follow in few
days and be sent to all the raisin- grow
ers in this valley. The prices at which
raisins will be sold have not been an
nounced, but it has been settled that
positively no raisins shall be shipped
from the State by any member of the as
sociation, unsold. AS nearly every packer
belongs to the association, this means
that raisins this year will be stored in
California until they are sold at prices
fixed by the committee. All members
of the committee sign the contract to
this effect. 1t is a plan which has long
been advocated by some of the most in
telligent growers and packers, but
never before could it be put into prac-
tice

LAVERONE AND ROBERTS.
Officers and Citizens Are Determined
to Recapture Them.

MADEIRA. May 10. The chase after
Laverone and Roberts, the highWaymen
who escaped from the MADEIRA jail, is by
no means abandoned. The officers and
citizens who are in pursuit are deter
mined that no efforts shall be spared
TO recapture the daring robbers; on the
other hand, those who know the men
predict that the escapes will not be
retaken without a fight. 1t is believed
the fugitives are in the vicinity of the
Quartz Mountain. Yesterday the ohl-
GERS deployed themselves in Gordon
surrounding the region where the two
were supposed to be in hiding, but it
seems the escaped robbers were too
vigilant to be hemmed in and starved
into a surrender.
Deputy Sheriff Jones of Fresno, who
is in charge of the bloodhounds, re-
turned about noon to-day with the dogs
and it was believed that they had rem
dered all the service which would be
necessary from them. He had scarcely
reached town, however, before mes
sage was received for him to return
with them. That the men have been
seen several times is believed by the
officers.
Lille Larsen saw a man two days
ago answering to the description of
Roberts trying to catch horse in her
fathers pasture.
An Indian reports a trail which in
dicated that Laverone and Roberts had
been above DahellOs place, between
ONeals and Fine Gold.
The trail was made by two men, one
making a large track and one a small
one, just as Laverone and Roberts
make Later in the day an Indian
woman reported to Sheriff Westphal
that she had seen two men who an
swered to the description of the rob-
bers. These men upon seeing the
woman jumped into the bushes and dis
appeared. Their tracks were the same,
big one and a little one, at the point
where the woman said they disappeared
in the brush. The chase has been taken
up again and this is the cause of the
hasty summons for the return of the
dogs.
Jailer Wells has recovered sufficiently
from the injuries received in the fight
to join in the pursuit and a number of
citizens have gone to the scene of the
hunt.
1t is believed that one of the robbers
is an ex-convict and that there is re-
ward of 81, 800 offered for him for a
murder committed in the southern part
of the State.

MITCHELL'S MURDER.
His MOther-in-Law Was Deliberate
and Will Probably be Tried.

SAN ANDREAS, May 1O.-Criminal
annals of California do not contain a
record of crime that equals the murder
of F. J. Mitchell by his mother law,
Mrs. c. E. Halliday, at West Point on
Thursday. The aged woman, IN aveng-
ing the alleged wrongs of her daughter,
who welded Mitchell when he already
had a wife living, became transformed
into a demoness, taking the life of her
victim in a manner indescribably fero-
c:ous and revolving. Not satisfied with
blowing out his brains and sending a
charge of shot through his heart, she
dubbed his head into a pulp, striking
it with her gun until the weapon was
in splinters. During all this time she
was apparently cool-a calculating, de-
termined Nemesis.
Mrs. Halliday and her son -in-law,
Mitchell, alias Trewick, had been quar-
relng in the morning prior to mis- going
to work, and some hot words passed be-
tween them. Mitchell took the lunch
Mrs. Halladay put UP for him and
started for his work. Shortly after his
leaving the woman went to a neighbor
and borrowed shotgun, stating that
she wished to shoot a few quail. After
leading the gun Mrs. Halliday started
for the Granite mine. On the way she
met several friends and told them she
was going to FIX the man who had
ruined her family.
Mitchell and a companion were chop,
ping wood near the mine when the
woman appeared. She called him and
he laid down his AK and went to her.
They sat down and talked for some
time, being close enough to Mitchen's
companion for him to hear all they
said Suddenly the woman drew up
the gun, and before Mitchell could stop
her Chey were but four feet aparO she
fred. Mitchell saw what was coming
and put his hand in front of his face as
if to shield it. The charge went through
his hand and struck him in the fore
head The next charge struck him in
the chest, making .frightful gap. The
woman then took the gun and began
beating her victim over the head. She
did not desist in this until the gun broke
into many pieces.
Mitchelrs head was crushed to a pulp.
Having satisfied herself that he was
dead, the woman started for town. Dur
ing all this time the murderess was
calm and cool. Mitchells companion
ran away when the first shot was fired
and stayed in hiding for two hours
When he was found he was still trenb-
ling from fright.
A Coroner's jury held an inquest on
Friday and returned a verdict in effect
that the deceased came to his death
from a gunshot wound caused by Mrs.
Halladay. Ii did not state whether she
was justified or not in committing the
deed JusticeWickam, in his ignorance
of law. swore in jury and held the pre-
liminary examination. at which Mrs.
Halliday was acquitted. 1t is hardly
probable that she will get off without
punishment, as the citizens now regard
the murder as premeditated and pro-
pose to have the case taken up again.

IT Is ALL over
BUT THE SHOUTING.
That is What General GroSYenor
Thinks.
He Says Mckinley Already Has a Ma
jority Pledged to Him.
CONGRESSMAN Aldrich is Hopeful OF
Reed, and Says the rloney Ques-
tion is the nain One and Strad-
ding Platform Will Not Do-Ex-
Senator Platt Thinks Mckinley
Will Not be the Nominee and Will
Lack Many Votes.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-General
Grosyenor, in his weekly bulletin relat-
ing to the Republican Presidential noml-
nation issued tonight, insists that it is
all over but the shouting.
Il do not deem it vitality important,
he said. Ito issue this bulletin. Every
body who has information enough to
be significant and candOr enough to be
frank. knows that this campaign is
over and that nothing can prevent the
nomination of Mckinley on the first
ballot.
Il still insist in placing in my table
the men who have been elected beyond
all reasonable doubt and who are either
Instructed. pledged or known to be sup
porters of Mckinley. If 1 should doubt
the integrity of men who had accepted
elections as National delegates with in
structions attached to their elections,
the public would infer either that l had
knowledge that they were scoundrels
elected as delegates, or that long con-
tact with vicious men in politics had
polluted my mind to such an extent that
1 believed that other men were dishon-
est.
In this connection it may be stated
by the great masses, more so than has
ever been taken by the people since I
have known anything about politics,
and the power of public opinion that has
crushed combinations and humiliated
bosses and marched in triumph over the
great body of States, is abundantly
capable of realizing the fruition of the
victories it has won"
fo Of "
States and Territories aggregates 54S.
in addition to which he asserts that at
least twenty votes east of the Allie
ghanies are not enumerated by him. In
cluded within his table are sixty con-
tested seats, some of which, he says,
will be surrendered to the Mckinley
delegates without further contest, but
allowing that all should be decided
against Mckinley, Grosvenor figures
out for him 4SS uncontested, instructed
and pledged votes on the first ballot.
OF the ~ delegates to be elected he
counts on 80, which added to the 4SS,
makes 53S beyond all controversy.
Thus it will be seen that. allowing the
politicians who are superior to us in
the management of all these affairs to
have their own way upon every one of
these contests and unseat every one of
the Mckinley delegates, still then Nc
Kinley will have sweeping majority.
Coming in conclusion to the question
of the Committee on Credentials, about
which there has been some anxiety
manifested in certain quarters, General
Grosvenor says: Mckinley has either
the entire delegation or the majority
thereof in thirty-three States and Terri
fnriac CO h. Ii
that Mckinley has sweeping majority
of the States uncontested. He has
National Committee, honest and incor-
ruptible, and which will insure him
fair Committee on Credentials, which
is all he asks"

REEDS FRIENDS HOPEFUL.
Congressman Aldrich Says a Strad-
ding Platform Will Not Do.

WASHINGTON, May 10-Congress-
man Aldrich made the following state
ment tonight: The friends of Speaker
Reed, fully conscious of the gains made
by Governor Mckinley in the pending
contest during the past week, but with
full information concerning the posi-
ton and standing Of the delegates thus
far elected, are yet hopeful, ii not confl-
dent, of the ultimate success of their
candidate before the convention.
Up to to-day there have been elected
S32. out of a total of 91S delegates. of
which number it is reasonable to say
that Governor Mckinley has, excluding
the contested cases, 361 votes. Con-
corning the latter, we will not prejudge
the action of the convention. The num-
ber Of delegates yet to be elected is Sc
Should he succeed in capturing them all
and he will not get one-half of them
he will still fall short of the necessary
majority, and must then rely upon the
contested cases to give him the nomina-
ton.
All Republicans favor protection, but
it is quite evident that the tariff will not
be the sole issue of the campaign, for a
new and more important element now
commands public attention-the money
question. The straddling platform will
never do, nor can any candidate who
was ever on it gain the full confidence
of the people, 1t is for this reason, and
because we believe sentiment is under
going a rapid and radical change in
that particular, that we are convinced
the candid, sober judgment of the dele
gtes, after deliberation which will be
had between now and the 10Th of June,
will nominate Mr. Reed, because he
best represents the great interests of
the financial world and the American
people.

A Son of Ex-President Barri!las
Mixed Up in the Affair-Quarter-
MilliOn-DOllar Blaze in San Fran
CiscO-The Oregon the Fastest of
Her ClasS-MitChelI'S MOther-in-
Law rlurdered Him Deliberately.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1O.-Two
weeks ago Frederick Bell, a we'll
known young millionaire, was report
ed to have fallen down a circular stair
way in a private residence. on Bush
street, this city, sustaining serious If
not fatal injuries.
The alleged accident attracted more
than passing attention because of the
fact that the young mans father, the
late Thomas Bell, a Santa Barbara
capitalist, met death in the same build
ing and under precisely the same cir
cumstances four years ago. There were
rumors of foul play at the time, but no
investigation was held. In the house
with young Bell were two ladies' the
hostess, Mrs Clinton Ferry, who is the
divorced wife of Duke of Tacoma" and
Mrs. Etelka Gordon, also a divorced
woman. 1t is said that Bell was devoted
in his attentions to Mrs. Gordon and
that he had strong rival in the per-
son of Alfonso Barrillas, a son of ex-
President Barrillas of Guatemala. There
are hints of an inebrious collision be-
tween the two, but all persons connect
ed with the scandal are extremely ret
icent 1t is known, however, that a local
detective agency is working on the case
and a sensation is threatening. Bells
relatives are not permitted to visit him.
His uncle and sister have arrived and
are anxious to see him, but Mrs. Ferry
has placed a guard in front of her res
idence and no one is allowed to enter.
When interviewed regarding the acci-
dent M. Barrillas said
''They cannot put any blame on me.
I 10 a
knew Etelka up to a year ago, but
have not cared for her since Bell be-
came her friend. / was not in the Bush
street house when Bell was thrown out,
but 1 understand they are going to

In the meantime ex-President Bar
rillas has cabled that he has taken pas
sage from Guatemala and will arrive
here as soon as the steamer City of
Sydney can carry him. He will defend
his son in the event of prosecution.
This will be the first visit of that dig
nitary to this country
