a warrant hOf ms surrender TO Issue
Soon.
The record of testimony taken in San
Francisco before United States Commits
sioner Heacock in the case of Frank But
Ter, who is wanted in Australia for murder
has reached the State Department, and is
now under examination. So far, the pro-
ceedings appear to have been regular in
all essentials, and a warrant for the sur
render of this most remarkable criminal
to the Australian authorities will probably
issue Immediately. Butler is given no less
than seven names In the application for
extradition, being variously known as Lee
Weller, Frank Harwood, S. Burgess, Samp-
son, Glare and Butler. He stands accused
of fourteen murders, and he is suspected
of fully as many more. His plan of opera
tions was to invite "tenderfeet" in Austria
liza with money to enter partnership with
him to prospect for gold. When the expe-
dition had gotten a few miles out of town
Butler would, as charged make way with
his partner, take his money and effects
and hide his body. He escaped the law
officers in Australia by shipping as sailor
before the mast on sailing ship bound
for San Francisco. but the cable headed
him Off on arrival, and he found awaiting
him detectives, who arrested him at once.

The Worst Weather Experienced by
the Adriatic.

QUEENSTOWN, March 6-The White
Star steamship Adriatic, Capt. Sowden, ar
rived here shortly after midnight, after
very stormy passage from New York. Vio-
lent northwest gales, accompanied by tre-
mendous seas, We're successfully encoun-

experienced on March 3, when three top
sails were blown away and two of the life
boats were washed over the side from their
fastenings, and a portion of the rail of the
promenade deck was carried away by an
enormous sea. The ships steering gear was
also disabled, and signals were at once
made that the vessel was out of control.
The decks We're washed for several days
by the terrific seas, and much water got
below. The passengers did not dare TO
leave their cabins. The officers of the
Adriatic say this is the worst passage they
have ever experienced.
