sELF-SUPPORTING PRISONS.
Convicts Employed Without Com
netting With Free Labor.

ALBANY On. Y),. Nov. 1S.-The
problem of how State convicts shall be
kept at work without competing with
free labor has seemingly been solved
by law that went into effect January
1st of this year This law provides
that all State institutions and depart
ments should purchase all their supplies
and articles of equipment from the
prisons, if such could be manufactured
there. Since the law went into opera
ton, acquisitions have been received
for over S150,000 worth of goods, which
guarantees the continuous employment
of convictS. AS it costs So00000 an
nually to maintain the shops, they are
made self-sustaining under the new sys-
tenn.
Speaking of the matter to-day Gen
eral Austin Lathrop, Superintendent of
State Prisons, said: None of the
methods of employing convicts during
my ten years administration has been
self-supporting with the exception of
the new one. An enormous amount of
money will be saved to the State. Near
ly SS00,OO0 worth of goods have been
ordered from the prisons this year
Next years trade will amount to ST.
100000. We sell at a price below that
of the markets, so that the books of
the institution show a net profit in
making purchases from us"

McKENNA TO SUCCEED FIELD.
Said That His appointment Has
Been Formally Decided Unon.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-A special to the
tribune from Washington, d. c.,
says:
Attorney General McKenna's ap-
pointment as Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court to succeed Justice Field
has been formally decided upon by the
President and heartily approved by the
Cabinet The succession to the De-
partment of Justice is still open. The
Presidents private files contain letters
from all over the country, suggesting
names, including those of many men
who have hitherto not been mentioned
publicly. Judge Waymire of Califor-
MIA appears to be in the lead thus far.
A number of letters from New York
suggested John j. McCook.
1t is state that, We're it not for se-
ographical considerations, John S.
Runnels of Chicago would have been
favorably considered. 1t was deemed
impossible, however, to have two Cab
met officers from Illinois, This same
attention TO political surveying has pre-
vented the active consideration of
Judge Nathan Goff of West Virginia
who is too near Maryland. 1t is be-
lieved the President will not see his
way clear to leaving the Pacific slope
out of the Cabinet, and in that event
Judge Waymire is likely to be the man.

FRENCH SLAUGHTERED.
About One Hundred of Their Force
Cut to Pieces.

CAPE COAST CASTLE, Nov. IS
The Governor of the Gold Coast Col
ony reports that there has not been
any collision whatever between the
British Colonial forces and Chief Sam
ory up to the present. An eye witness
of the fight between the followers of
Chief Samory and the French force on
August 10th last, says it occurred near
Bonita. The French force, numbering
about 10O men, was cut to pieces.
Another account of the affair says
the French officers were invited to q
palaver and seized by the Sofas, who
captured the rifles, stores, reserve am
munition and eight horses belonging
to the expedition.
PARIS, Nov 1S.-The "Depeche Colo
male announces to-day that it has re-
ceived news of the active advance of
two French expeditions from Ubanga
toward the Upper Nile under Captains
Liotard and Marchan The French, it
is added, expect to have a f1otilla of
gunboats on the Upper Nile by mid
summer, 1898. and will distribute $500

sHARKEY-GoDDARD FIGHT.
The Sailor Wins Another Question.
able Battle.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S.-Tom
Sharkey has won another questionable
battle, his victim this time being old
Joe Goddard, the decrepit barrier cham
pion. The fight. which was scheduled
Tor twenty rounds, terminated in the
sixth, when Sharkey after landing a
stiff right on Goddard's jaw, rushed at
his man and knocked him to the floor
ilterally by force of impact, falling
heavily upon him. Goddard's head
struck the canvas with an awful smash
Which dazed him. He arose at the end
of three seconds and staggered to the
rope, referee Macarthur meanwhile
holding the excited sailor back Amid
great confusion Macarthur awarded the
fight to Sharkey.
The decision was just, but Sharkey's s
victory is far from creditable, it being
the popular impression that Goddard
was hurt more by his collision with the
floor than by Sharkey's blows, which
We're at all times wild and miserably
timed
Like all of Sharkey's fights, it was a
very unsatisfactory affair. Goddard
made Door showing, and is not the
man he was few years ago. Sharkey's S
methods to-niSht were as unfair and
rough as could be tolerated, without
actually committing a foul.
In the preliminary ten-round bout
between Tom Lansing of Kentucky,
formerly KID McCoy's sparring part
ner and Joe Kennedy of San Francisco,
Referee Bob Macarthur gave the de-
cision to Lansing in the sixth round,
because of Kennedy's repeated foul
blows.

COAST STEAMER ASHORE.
GROUNDED ON THE NORTH
SPIT OF UMPQUA RIVER.
The Truckee Disable at an Early
Hour in the Morning During
Heavy Gale.

| MARSHFIELD (Or.). Nov. 1S.-News
reached here this evening that the
steamer Truckee, bound from Tillamook
to San Francisco lumber laden, went
ashore this morning on the north spit
of the Umpqua River.
! G. w. Freeman, Superintendent of the
Thirteenth Lighthouse District, who
was passenger on the stage down the
| beach from the Umpqua this after
noon, saEs that about D o'clock this
morning the keeper ofthe Umpqua
/ light heard distress whistle, but on
account of the darkness was unable to
distinguish anything. AT daylight the
Truckee was in sight south, evidently
/ disabled.
| 1t was blowing hard from the south,
and the Umpqua was breaking clear
across and nothing but a white strip.
At O'Clock the Captain, trying to hold
her in the channel, hoisted the foresail,
but the wind was too strong and it was
carried away. The squaresail was also
hoisted, and was Immediately carried
| overheard, throwing the vessel on the
extreme end of the north spit. All this
time the crew were discharging the
cargo.
The Umpqua life saving crew were
promptly on hand, and made three un-
successful attempts to reach the
steamer
When Mr. Freeman left the scene at
1890 there had been no communication
with the Truckee, and she was aDDar-
entity resting easy, with her hold in shore
and her stern to the wind. The sea was
very rough, and was breaking all around
the steamer, but did not apoear to be
breaking over her.
The Truckee went on at high tide this
morning, but as the evening tides are
largest, it may be possible that if she
did not go to pieces TO-DAY, after dis
charging her deckload of lumber she
may be forced in over the bar. News
regarding the wreck is very meager
and there will be no more information
from there before tomorrow evening.
The Truckee has register of $40
tons, and is owned by the Truckee
Lumber Company of San Francisco.
The Umpaua River is twenty miles
up the coast from here, and has no wire
communication.
The stage driver says that he has
never experienced such a storm on the
beach as that of to-day.

County's Expense.

FRESNO, Nov 1S.-For the last year
or more the county has maintained o
rock pile at a great expense for the
benefit of such tramps as might find
their way to Fresno County. This rock
pile has been under the control of the

roads and paths on property owned
by the Sheriff's deputies, while their
residences have been improved with
expensive stone hitching posts, made
from rock belonging to the county by
prisoners fed by the county. and actu-
any hauled to the deputies places by

Swind1ing Operations.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S-Chief
Lees to-day received letter from De-
tective Roche, of Sydney, informing
him that Henry Westwood Cooper, the
swindler in custody here, was known
IN Sydney in 1891 as Charles Ernest
Chadwick. He was arrested there at
that time under that name on two
charges of obtaining money under false
pretenses, but was released. as, in ord
er to prosecute, it would have been nee
essary to have sent to the Secretary
Of States office, London, for a person
to go to the colonies and testify that
the seal with which documents issued
by Cooper We're sealed were bogus. Two
years later he was sentenced to eigh-
teen months at hard labor for a SINH
lar crime. Later on he came to the
front as DR.. Henry Westwood Cooper,
at Regent street, Redfern.
