A STREET SUICIDE.
Attempted Patricide, Followed by Sue
cessful Effort at Suicide.

MISSOURI VALLEY, Iowa, Dec. TO-
Ben Freeman, only son of DIR. George
Freeman of this city, killed himself in
the principal business street at 7:S0 this
evening, after an Intellectual attempt to
kill his father. He fired two shots at the
latter and then ran down the street
After the flight of a block he put the
revolver to his right ear and fired, the
ball penetrating the back part of the
head, resulting in instant death. But
one of the shots fired at the father was
effective, the ball cutting through the
right sleeve and striking near the shoul-
der blade, causing only slight wound.
The tragedy occurred on the main
street, on the way to the fathers office.
Ben was 20 years old, and came from
Stockton, Cal, last Sunday, on ticket
sent him from here by his father. The
father says ne cannot think of any rea-
son for tile terrible deed, claiming that
their relations since Ben's arrival from
the west, where he has been for eighteen
months, have been amicable in every
respect The son had just taken supper
with his father. DR.. Freeman says he
had no idea that eBn was armed. and
had not the least warning or intin,ation
of the attempt upon his life. DR.. and
Mrs. Freeman were divorced some six
years ago, the wife and child remaining
in Athens county, Ohio. DIR. Freeman
has practiced his profession here since
his removal from Omaha to this city
four years ago, and nothing is knoayn
that would cast any light on the tragedy.

NEW YORK, Dec. donaldson
Square garden was crowded tonight
with enthusiastic spectators of the six
days bicycle race, who enthusiastically
cheered all the tired riders. The boxes
were filled early in the evening, and the
presence of hundreds of handsomely
dressed women lent brilliancy to tn,
scene. During the evening Champion
Bald rode a mile paced by the BLACK
and White Tandem" in 2:1S 1-5. The
event of the night was the ten mile race
between Linton of Wales and Starbuck
of Philadelphia. The two men started
from opposite sides of the track. In the
fourth lap Starbuck fell and Linton
stopped, saying he was unwilling TO
win the race by an accident. The race
was begun again. Starbuck won in 20
minutes, 1-5 seconds.
The score in the big race at midnight
was: Hale, 1861 miles; Rice, 1914; Fors-
ter. 1874; Moore, 1885; Schock, 1858;
Reading 1889; Taylor, 1860; Pierce, 1929;
Smith, 1241: Ashinger, 116s; Maddox,
ITO; Cassidy, 1191; Click, $50; Cannon,
1924; Mcleod, 1886.
A squirt between Hale and Maddox en-
livened the race for the forenoon. The
other riders seemed to take little inter-
est in affairs about them. Hale COM
pleted 1900 miles at 10:30 a. m., and five
minutes later turned in for rest.
Major Taylor, who eats and drinks
more than any of the others, was dou-
bled up on his wheel during the morn
ing suffering from cramps. Hale was
1874 miles ahead of all previous records
for SO hours at II o'clock. Forster and
Rice were also ahead of the record,
which had been made by Waller in the
last six-days race. The attendance this
afternoon was unusually large. Hale,
who had rested during the morning and
early afternoon, came out shortly after
. o'clock, and with Major" Taylor, who
raced around the oval for couple of
fast miles.
Comparison with the score at o'clock
the eighty-seventh hour-shows that
nine of the contestants were ahead of
the best previous records and 1923 miles
made by Waller. Hale led this record by
not quite 115 miles. The attendance to-
night was large. At o'clock, 81 hours
after the start. Hale was more than 1874
miles ahead of the best previous record
at the garden, made by Schoch in 1893
his distance for the same time being ITO
miles.
At 1886 pm. Hale finished 1900 miles
and the performance was greeted with
wild enthusiasm. Schoch went off at 9
o'clock, though he returned to the track
only few minutes before. and there was
talk that he showed signs of collapsing,
but the veteran declared that he would
stay to the end and finish in the front
rank.

CLAIMS OF THE SEALERS
As Presented Before the Bering Sea
Commission
The Cardinals Case Disposed Of and the
Schooner Thornton Will Be Con-
sidered at Today's Session

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 10--At this
mornings session of the Bering sea
claims commission. the British case on
behalf of the Carolina claim was con-
cluded, and Gen. Dickinson proceeded
to read from the American case before
the Paris tribunal to show that though
there were a large number Of seals in
Bering sea great difficulty was expert
enced in killing them. Hon. Mr.. Pc
ters objected to the use of the extract
from the American case unless it was to
qualify and Gen. Dickinson, after sue
cession of objections. continued to read
extracts in order to refute the evidence
given as to the probable catch He
read from the minutes of a meeting Of
sealers held in Victoria in 1891. When
an argument was entered to use only
three experienced men on each schooner,
the remainder of the crew to be new men
he also read statements made by va
rious hunters to the effect that on an
average only one-third of the seals shot
were taken. He also submitted the
naturalization papers of Andrew Bech-
tel, renouncing his citizenship to the
United States and becoming a British
subject.
Hon. Mr.. Peters again objected, claim
ing 1t was irrelevant. Gen. Dickinson
said that he rendered the papers in order
to fix the date when Bechtel became a
British subject. Hon. Mr.. Peters re-
piled that he raised the objection in or
der to reserve a right in the matter, this
being the point Of the case for the Anal
argument. Justice King said it would
be better to withdraw the naturaliza ton
papers until they were ready to follow
up with other evidence in that line. The
papers We're then withdrawn and Gen.
Dickinson read a letter sent in 1887 by
John Tilton, deputy minister of the fish
cries. to Mr.. Munsie, informing him Of
an order of the president of the United
States releasing certain vessels.
AS the United Stat tes consul wished
time in order to prepare their case, an
adjournment was taken until tomorrow

Now Seeks the Restoration of
Her Throne
LILIUOKALANI, THE EX.QUEEN
Makes Her Appearance Unannouuced st
San Francisco
President Cleveland Will Be Asked to
Take Steps Looking to the Res
toration Of the Monarchy.

Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.-The un-
expected arrival of ex-Queen Liliuoka-
lani from Honolulu today evoked iDuch
interest. and gave rise to no little specu-
lation as to the object of her trip. Her
only attendants wire man and a
woman servant, and even her San
Francisco agent and former chamber
lain, George McFarlane, did not know
of the ex-queens arrival until he re-
ceived a summons from her on the ar
rival of the steamer.
Liliuokalani declines to be interviewed
and will give no information regarding
the length of her visit here or her fu-
ture plans. Her fellow passengers on
the steamer gathered the idea that she
will go to Washington and call upon
President Cleveland, in the hope that
the United States will take some step
looking to the restoration of the Ha-
waian monarchy. 1t Is intimated by
Colonel McFarlane that the queen will
represent that the great majority of
the Hawaiian people would welcome n
return to the former monarchical insti-
tutions.
Liliuokalani has been under the sur
veillance of the Hawaiian government
ever since the last native uprising until
few weeks ago, when she was granted
an unconditional pardon. She seems to
have taken advantage of the first op-
portunity to leave the island.
The ex-queen was seen tonight but was
extremely uncommunicative. To all
questions as to her intentions she re-
piled: II have not yet matured my
plans" She would not even say why
she had left Honolulu. The Hawaiian
consul, however. has received advices
from his government stating that on the
morning of her departure, Liluokalani
called on President Dole and informed
him that she was going to Boston to see
relatives of her husband, the late John
Dominis. Representatives of Hawaii In
this country have been Instructed to
show the ex-queen every courtesy while
she Is in the United States.
