THE UNION VETERAN LEGION.
Officers Deny the Report About the
Mckinley ResoIutions

The national officers of the Union Veteran
Legion today denied emphatically the report
that at yesterdays session of the national
encampment a resolution was adopted in
dorsng the candidacy of Mckinley and Ho-
bart. They expressed much regret that
such a report should have been given out,
as the order is in no sense a political or
ganization. and such a resolution would not
at any time be given considerable The
sessions of the national encampment are
held in secret. During the progress of the
final session yesterday morning the rcpor-
tiers in attendance at Builders Exchange
Hall were informed by members that
resolution had been passed indorsing the
candidacy of Messrs. Mckinley and Hobart.
This appears to have been the result of
misunderstanding by certain members.
There was some talk in the early part of
The meeting about the introduction of such
a resolution. but a majority did not think
that it would be proper in an organization
not at ali political in its nature to take any
such action.
Just prior to the adjournment yesterday
Mai William c. Carroll of Encampment
No % of this city, who was newspaper
correspondent during the early part of the
war, offered resolutions. which were unan-
imously adopted, in relation to the war
correspondents memorial arch at Gapland,
Md. which was dedicated yesterday. The
resolutions recited the important services
to the cause of the Union arms rendered by
the energetic and oftentimes heroic band
of chronicers and historians who were
known as war correspondents, stating that
the deeds of valor and heroism which
graced the names of dead and living heroes
would long have been obscured from the
world but for the enterprise. heroism and
sacrifices of the newspaper men I'm furnish
ing rapid and authentic accounts of the OPP
erations of the armies and navies during
that eventful period of national life. Ii
was therefore resolved that the Union Vet
eran Legion send to the War Correspon-
dents Association its heartfelt greeting
and commentator for the noble work in
which they were engaged in dedicating an
enduring monument commemorative of the
distinguished services of their living and
dead companions of the pen. that most
efficient auxiliary i'm working out the sal
walton of union of states. The COM
mander-in-chief is instructed to transmit
copy of the resolutions to the president of
the War Correspondents Association.
Nearly all the visiting veterans have left
the city for their respective homes, a large
number of them making side trips today TO
the battlefields in the vicinity of this city,
whence they will return directly TO their
homes. The members of the legion one
and all. express great satisfact ton and
pleasure at the manner in which they have
been treated in Washington, and the many
courtesies that have been extended to them

SITE FOR SAN JOSES SCHOOL.
The Board of Education Petitions for q
Portion of the State Normal
Grounds

SAN JOSE CAL, Dec. IA meeting
of the City Board of Education was held
this morning to discuss the matter OF Sc
curing part of the lands occupied by the
State Normal School as site for the new
high School building. The following
resolution was adopted and will be for
warded to Governor Budd:
RESOLVED, That 1t be the unanimous sense of
the Board of Education of the city OF San Jose
that the proposed High School building should
be located on the State Normal School grounds
that the Board of Education should use all
honorable means to secure from the State of
California and the trustees of the State Nor
mai School portion of said Normal Schoo-
grounds for the abovs purpose; that If a porl
tion can be secured that the Board of Educa-
tion pledges itself to keep said plat of ground,
other than the portion occupied by the build
ing, in lawn and shrubbery aud in as good
condition as other portions of said park.
The Normal Square occupies twenty
eight acres, and, as but very little of it
il used for school purposes, it is thought
that the State will readily deed to the
city a portion. The property was given
to the State for school purposes. An issue
of $75, 600 in bonds has already been voted
for the school building.
1t is said that Governor Buddis In favor
of granting the city the land desired. The
local representatives in the Legislature
will introduce bill favoring such action
at the coming session.

H0KE SMITH SAVES HER.
The Ex-Secretary of the Interior Success
fully Defends Woman Accused
of Robbery.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 12.-Ex-Secretary
Hoke Smith appeared in a magistrates
court as counsel for Mrs. NJ. Il. Henson,
who was charged by DR.. F. T. Powell with
robbing him of his pocket book. The doc
tor stated that Mrs. Henson had visited
his Office to get a prescription, AS she
was leaving he asked her il she would not
kiss him, and he declared that she did kiss
him and at the same time picked his
pockets, getting purse that contained
$45. The defendant denied the statement
and asserted that she ran out of the office
when he became offensive. Mr.. Smith in
vited the doctor, who weighs 225 pounds,
to show the Justice how the woman picked
his pockets. The doctor accepted the in
vitation, threw his arms about the neck
of the ex-Secretary and they hugged each
other tightly, but the doctor did not reach
Mr.. Smiths hip pocket nor could the ex-
Secretary reach the doctors gun pocket,
and the magistrate decided that it was
physically impossible for Mrs. Henson to
have robbed the physician, even if she
had hugged him, and dismissed her.

EX-QUEEN LHiU0xALAKrS VISIT.
Its Object Is to Obtain From This Govern.
ment Demand for Indemnity
From Doie's Crowd

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 12-Cesar
Celso Moreno, once prominent in, Ha-
walian politics, has received letter from
one of the leaders in the late revolt from
which Queen Liliuokaliani was arrested
and imprisoned. This letter throws some
light on the Queens Yisit to America. 1t
speaks of the robbery of the crown lands
which were hers by right and which
would have given her competence. The
Dole Government usurped her pension,
which was given, says the letter, on the
pretended promise of Intervention by
President Cleveland in Hawaiian affairs.
The apparent purpose of this visit of the
ex-Queen, as disclosed in the letter, is to
demand indemnity ior the loss of the
crown lands, as well as her regal author
ity, which, it is claimed, were taken away
by a revolutionary movement instigated
by the United States Consul and aided by
United States marines from the cruiser
Boston.

SUICIDE OF AN ALLEGED PRINCESS
Claiming to Be the Niece of a Polish
Hero and Imagining Herself Rich
Josephine Jeroski Dies in Squafor

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. 12.-Miss
Josephine Jeroski, an alleged Polish
princess and grand-niece of General
Pulaski, committed suicide in her dingy
little room, A Smith street, this city,
some time between last Wednesday and
this morning. Her death was discovered
through the arrival of letter addressed
to her which the landlady, who had taken
it from the postman, was unable to deliver
because repeated knocks on Miss Jeroski's 5
room door brought no response. The door
of the room was burst open and she was
found dead on the bed, fully dressed with
an empty bottle at her side, which had
evidently contained laudanum. Neigh
bors and some charitable people had con-
tributed to her wants, and she had plenty
to eat and was cosy and warm in her small
room, but other events combined to make
her despondent.
Miss Jeroski frequently stated to those
with whom she had intercourse that the
United States Government had $1,000, 600
belonging to her, and which had been
deposited with it by the Russian Govern
ment to satisfy claim for damages made
by the descendants in America OF General
Pulaski, and that the United States was
trying to cheat her out of the money. She
was thought to be mentally unbalanced.

Bat They First Held as Prisoners Some
of Their PursWers.
CORNING, KANs., Dec. IL. - Deputy
Sheriff Charles Andrews and City Marshal
Bensing of this place, re-enforced by a
posse of several hundred armed farmers
of the locality, succeeded in effecting the
capture of two burglars, wanted for safe
blowing here.
When the officers first attempted to ar
rest tho men on the highway there were a
display of revolvers and retreat to the
timber. Two farm workers in a field next
tried to capture the men, but after pre-
tended surrender they made prisoners of
the farmers and compelled the owner of
the farm to drive all four to the house.
Here the farmers bodies and that of an
infant which one of the robbers snatched
from a cradle were utilized as protection
against the gathering host of men and
boys. The younger of the robbers became
separated from his ompanion and was
aptured, while the other calmly ate q
supper he had ordered prepared, with the
three citizens and the baby as body-guard.
Then he surrendered.

| TRIES To KILL A
CONSUL GENERAL
Fury of a German Who
Goes Cunning for August
Feigel.
Wild Scramble and a Flight
Among the New York Con-
sulate Attaches.
Upon Being Disarmed and Arrested
the Would. Be Assassin Recites
Alleged Wrongs.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. IA man
made futile attempt to kill the German
Consul-General, August Feigel, at the
consulate, Bowling Green, at IL o'clock
to-day. The man appeared at the con-
sulate at 10 80 and asked to see the Con-
sui, and when told that he could not see
him went away. He returned half an
hour later and was again denied admit
tance.
He thereupon pushed his way through
a swinging door at the counter and at
tempted to get into the private Office of
the Consul General. One of the clerks
stopped him. Then the man drew a re-
volver, fully loaded, from his overcoat
pocket, just as Consul General Feigel ap-
peared at the door. Uttering curse in
German, the man leveled the pistol at the
head of the Consul-General.
Paul Falcke, the Vice. Consul, jumped
toward the man, grabbed him by the
shoulders and in the scrimmage the
revolver fell to the floor.
The man fought like madman to re-
gain the pistol and finally succeeded.
Then every body save the infuriated man
fed. A policeman was summoned and,
knocking the revolver from the mans
hand, and after freely using his club sue
ceeded in reaching the Church-street sta
ton with his prisoner.
Later the man WAS arraigned before
Magistrate Flammer in the Center-street
Police Court. There he said his name was
Ludwig Schultz, dairyman by occupa-
ton, and that he arrived in America from
Hamburg on November 80 Schultz then
told a rambling story OF having been
robbed of his money and alleged German
official persecution, which he thought had
followed him to this country. This was
his only reason for his endeavor to kill
the Consul. He was committed until to-
morrow for examination
