Sever an Ear and Carry It
Away as Evidence of
Their Success.
TEN CHINESE UNDER ARREST,
Emp Dyes of the Murdered Man Sus.
pected of Completely in
the Crime.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. S.-One of the
most brutal murders in the histery of San
Joaquin County was committed last night.
and ten Chinese are in jail here charged
with completely in connection with the
killing of See Jack, Monaghan gardener
of Staten Island. The murder was clearly
the deed of some highbinders' organiza-
ton, as the left ear of the murdered man
was cut off and carried away by his
slayer as an evidence TO those who en-
pioyed him that he had disposed of his
victim.
y See Jack was engaged in farming a tract
OF land on Staten Island and had two
other Mongollans in partnership with him.
A number of almond coolies were
employed in cultivating the place, on
which was raised garden-truck for the San
francisco market. The men were all in
the bunkhouse last night. according tc
the statement OF the occupants, when See
Jack went outside. He was heard quar-
reling with another Chinese, but those
within did not go outside to see who the
other man was. Shots were heard, ano
when the inmates of the bunkhoust
rushed out they found See Jack Iyiue
dead outside, with three bullets In him
| and his head mutilated where the assassin
had cut off his ear.
The Sheriff's office was notified and the
officers who went to the island scout thi:
story. The dead Mongol was found tc
have one bullet, from a 44-caliber pistol
in his neck; another entered above the
eft nipple, and third entered his body
from the left side. The missing ear wa!
cut off so close to the head that il mus
have been severed with knife as keen a.
razor. The other Chinese on the place
denied all knowledge of the killing and
| united in saying that they knew nothing
until they heard the shots and ran out tc
find See Jack lying dead in a pool o.
blood. The Sheriff's deputies did not be-
lieve this, and arrested every man on the
place for completely in the crime.
This county has for years been very free
from highbirder warfare, as the officers
keep strict watch on all who come from
San Francisco for this purpose and notify
them to leave at once upon their arrival
On the islands, however, it is difficult tC
francisco societies are about, and this
murder is, without doubt the work oi
some member of the organization of paid
assassins. An inquest will be held to-
morrow afternoon, when it is expected
that new evidence will be brought out
Meantime the officers are busy on the
case and expect TO i'm mplicate some of the
Chinese now under arrest.

THE HOTTEST REGION ON EARTH.
Water for tho Inhabitants Obtained
From Springs at the Sea Bottom.

Water for the Inhabitants Obtained
From Springs at the Sea Bottom.
The hottest region on the eerth's surface
is on the southwestern coast of Persia. on
the border OF the Persian Gulf. For forty
consecutive days in the months of July
and August the mercury has been known
to stand about 100 degrees in the shade,
night and day, and to run up as high as
130 degrees in the middle of the afternoon.
At Bahrein, in the center OF the most
torrid part of this most torrid belt, as
though it were natures intention to make
the place as unbearable as possible, water
from wells is something unknown. Great
shafts have been sunk to depth of 100,
200, 800 and even 500 feet, but always with
the same result-no water.
This serious drawback notwithstanding,
comparatively numerous population
contrives TO live there, thanks to copious
springs, which burst forth from the bot
tom of the gulf more than mile from
the shore. "Machadores" (divers), whose
sole occupation is that of furnishing the
people of Bahrein with the life-giving
fluid, repair to that portion of the gulf
where the springs are situated and bring
away with them hundreds of bags full OF
the water each day. The water of the
gulf where the springs burst forth is nearly
200 feet deep. but these machadores
manage to fill their goatskin sacks by
diving to the bottom and holding the
mouths of the bags over fountain lets
this, too, without allowing the salt water
of the gulf to mix with it. The source OF
these submarine fountains is thought to
be in the hills of Osmond, 400 or 500 miles
away. Being situated at the bottom ci
the gulf it is mystery how they were
ever discovered, but it is said that they
have been known since the dawn of his.

WANT McKINLEY'S FAVOR
Offc Seekers of Every Descrip-
tion Are Now Presenting
Their Claims.
Wagon Loads of Flowers Divided
Among Sick Friends or Sent
TO Hospitals.

CANTON, ONO. Nov. S.-Major Nc
Kinley is rapidly recovering from the
effects of the mental strain and arduous
labors of the campaign, and this evening
expressed himself as being quite fully
rested. He is in excellent health and
spirits. The President-elect spent a very
quiet Sunday. He took short walk early
in the morning, attended church as usual,
and in the afternoon went for drive. The
balance of the day Major Mckinley passed
quietly in his library. Among those who
called were: Charles q. Dawes, mem her
of the executive committee OF the National
Republican Committee. Ferdinand w.
Peck and Alexander Revell OF Chicago,
Captain A. 7. Wimberly of New Orleans
and Congressman Francis 81. Wilson of
Brooklyn, n. Y.
The determination of Major Mckinley
to remain in Canton till the middle of this
week on account of the feeble condition of
his wife may keep the stormcoud of
political interest central over Canton for
some days longer. The character of the
visitors to Major Mckinley has changed
good deal since his election.
During the campaign when the railways
made low rates there were hundreds and
thousands of people from the lowly walks
of life who came to Canton. Now the Wis.,
itors are largely of the political, office
holding or office-seeking classes, and only
aspirants for places of the higher grades
take the trouble to come to Canton. For
the apparent purpose of rendering con-
gratulations in person many persons who
have great expectations bring themselves
IL
Applications for official places are begin
ming to come in by mail in large numbers
and they include appointments from day
laborers up to chiefs of bureaus. Flowers
in unlimited quantities continue to reach
Mrs. Mckinley. Every room in the house
is filed with them, and the supply was so
large yesterday afternoon that wagon
load was divided among sick friends and
the patients in the city hospital.
Among the many letters and kilograms
received by the Presldent-elect to-day
were the following:
r. J. Colcord, chairman State Committe,
Carson, Nev.-The few Republicans of Nevada
extend sincere thanks and hearty congratula-
tions to our gallant leader and the Repub-

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. S-The Oak
land aggregation of baseball players did
about as it pleased with the crack nine of
Stockton at Goodwater Grove to-day. The
Stockton team had been leading in the
race for the pennant, and after last Sun
days game was only slightly behind the
Imperials. The Stocktonians thought
they would have an easy time with Oak
land to-day, but they were sadly disap-
pointed, as the curves of OakIand's left
handed twirler, Russell, were too puzzling
for the batsmen of the Mill City. They
failed to make a run for seven innings,
and it was not until the eighth that they
managed to send four men across the
rubber. So puzzling was Russell that
only five base hits were made off him,
and the Stockton men are usually very
handy with the stick. It was the great
work of the Oakland pitcher that won the
game. The runs by innings were as

.COAL INDUSTRY.

Probably few people have even a re
mote idea OF the extent Of the coal in
dastry In the United States or Of the an
'nual output. The chief statistician Of
the Geological survey computes that the
annual amount of coal mined IN this
country In 1895 was III, s04, TAG long
tons. This quantity would FIJI a train
OF more than tive and half million cars
extending 1892 miles or once and a
halt around the world. The value Of
this output at the mines was Sl97, 572,-
AT. The prodact OF anthracite coal
from the Pennsylvania mines increased
fren 46,35s, la long tons In 1894 to ST.
7sS, 122 long tons In 1895. The value,
however, showed an increase OF only
%, SOC, 900, Indicating that the price was
lower In 1895. The production Of Bit
luminous coal was 1874 ,421 ,974 short tons
OF 1000 pounds each, an increase over
the output OF 1894 Of lls, $50, 4o5 tons.
