THE WRONG MAN
The Baden Murderer Is Still at
Large


SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 30.-The man
arrested at the Almaden Hacienda and
brought to the County Jail last night
on suspicion that he was Willett, the
Baden robber and murderer. Is not the
man so much wanted. While he has
some points which are almost exactiy
similar to those of Willett, he is shorter,
lighter weight and of a different COM
plexion. Under Sheriff Benson says:
1.-The man at cursory glance looked
enough like Willett to warrant closer
examination. We had him at the jail
but a few minutes last night before we
were certain he was not the man ana
released him. He asked, however, Tor
lodging and breakfast, and we PROVIDED
it. He has not been under detention at
any time since the examination last
night"
In an interview this morning, the man
gave his name as Thomas Pritchard. he
is a native of Wales and came to San
Francisco last August from England.
He had previously worked two years at
the Potrero Rolling Mills, In San Fran
cisco. Since his return, he has been
stopping at the Oakland House on Third
street.
He says his brother, Willett Pritchard,
resides near Sixth street. He claims to
have left San Francisco last Saturday,
going to Almaden, where there are many
Welshmen in search of work.
The man will probably remain at the
iail until Sheriff Mansfield arrives from
Redwood City this afternoon, so that
the latter may be convinced that he Is
not Willett. The local officers insist,
however, that they have no complaint
against him and that he is not restrained
by them.

DAYLIGHT BURGLARS
A Bold Robbery in the Heart Of
Chicago <'

CHICAGO, Nov. 30.-Three men en-
tered the home of Maurice Eppenstein
No. 4444 Wabash avenue; yesterday af-
ternoon, terror.ze2 Mrs. Applenstein and
the female servants, at the pistols point
and made away with jewels and money
of the value of $4,000 or more.
It was all done by the broad light of
day. There was q fourth one in the
crowd who served as an outer guard,
while the others were in the house. The
property taken by the men included six
single stone diamond rings, four dia-
mond set hoops, two single stone hoops
one small "Marquise," gold watch and
chain, gold watch and chateaine, three
pairs of opera glasses. set of diamond
studs, a pair of diamond earrings, a gold
wedding ring, $50 in money and enough
other diamond rings to make about fif-
teen in all.
All were contained in one of the
drawers of a chiffonier which the two
robbers went through, breaking some of
the keys on Mrs. Eppenstein's key chain
in doing SO.
After the jewels had been secured, Mrs.
Eppenstein was locked in her chamber
while one of the robbers went down the
rear stairs and told the servant who
was then in the kitchen. that her mis-
tress wanted her. The girl very unsus-
pectingly responded to the call and was
locked in a closet on the second floor
AS Mrs. Eppenstein and the servant
were the only occupants of the house,
other than the robbers, the latter took
time to ransack the dining room and
kitchen before making their escape by
way OF, the alley in the rear.

Tobacco Duties

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-A decision OF
much Importance to the tobacco import
ing interests has been rendered by the
Board of General Appraisers. In favor
of the importer. The case was q test
one, coming up on protest made by
Rothschilds & Brother, tobacco mer-
chants of this city, against ruling OF
Collector Bidwell in regard to the classi-
fication Of four bales of tobacco and the
assessment of duty thereon. These bales
consisted chiefly of filler tobacco, but
contained from two to four per cent OF
wrapper tobacco. BY the decision OF the
Collector the filler and wrapper mater
ials were separated and all of the wrap
per tobacco was assessed for duty at
s1.s5 per pound, while the filler was
dutiable at So cents per pound. The I'M
norters claimed that each bale should
he assessed as a unit of 35 cents per
pound and that so small an amount as
less than Is per cent of wrapper tobacco
could not properly be separated from It,
The decision upholds the importers.

TRADE TROUBLES
Germany and England Talk of New
Treaties

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Commer-
clal Agent Stern at Bamberg, in a report
to the State Department, has given
good deal of general information con-
cerning the recent notice of England to
terminate the commercial treaty made
with Germany. Mr.. Stern says that ne
gotiations have been entered into at the
instigation of Great Britain for new
treaty. The commerce between England
and Germany comprises nearly 25 per
cent of the latter's trade. Germany's
exports to Great Britain proper in 1896
were valued at $169.9S2 900, and to the
British colonies s26,41S,000. The great
amount of trade, he says, is due to the
treaty of most favored nations, existing
between Germany and England and her
colonies. The treaty about to be termi-
mated comedies to German trade the en-
soyment of any concession or privilege
granted to the colonies of Great Britain
or to the mother country by the colonies.
Germany does not have the same advan-
tages with the Dutch, French or Spanish
colonies. The relations of the three lat
ter mother countries to their colonies is
much closer in matters of trade than
the relations of England with hers.
The writer considers the ultimate con-
sequence to be that the struggle for SUI
premacy will necessarily lead Germany
to a conflict of interest with England
and finally a struggle for the markets
which shall remain open to Germany.
In closing his article, Professor Roth
gen makes some remarks which are sig
nificant in view OF the late German
seizure in China. He says that Germany
must look to other markets. China is
principally to be considered. The Ger
man merchant has gained good footing
there, but Russia, Japan, England and
France are always ready to snatch parts
of that country away.
"The twentieth century will bring the
struggle about China" he says.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the

Among the bills already presented to

Ambassador White and United States
Consul general Schmidt attended the
opening sitting Of the reichstag.
The speech from the throne was u1-

who have up to the present time been

poiri7ed out that Germany has not yet
presented an ultimatum to Hayti, no
German fleet has been sent to Haytien
waters, no official intimation has been
made that force would be exercised
against the republic. The only tangible
facts thus far, according to the Ger
men view of the case, are that an in

pecuniary loss, and that Germany has

TWINKLING STARS
Another Myth Destroyed--The Stars
Don't Twinkle

BOSTON,, Nov. 30.-Astronomical dis
coveries of great value are reported by
DIR. T. ]. j. Loe, who has charge of the
Lowell OF )servatory in Flagstaff Ariz,
established and maintained by Percival
Lowell. DR.. Lee, who is now in Boston.
gave an interesting account Of his recent
discoveries through the twenty-four-
inch telescope which has been in use for
eighteen moi lths.
DR.. Lee said that since August, 1896,
he has discov cred about 500 new double
stars. and has measured about ZOO OBJ
jects noticed by previous observers.
Many of the stellar systems discovered
are large and brilliant, and thus possess
the highest interest.
The discovery of these 500 new double
stars is accounted the most important
contribution TO southern astronomy
since the survey of Sir John Herschel
sixty years ago. One of these stars has
been found to revolve once in five years
and another in about sixteen years.
Both have become of the highest interest
to observers.
A phenomenon of general interest is
twinkling stars, so familiar on clear,
cold nights. This, DR. Lee says, is due to
small waves OF currents in the air about
the size of an egg or sometimes even
lager than a mans hand These little
waves fill the air under certain condi-
tions, as on a cold night and, imposing
before the eye, dart the light from side
to side, and in this way convert the light
of the star into colOrs or eXtinguish
it entirely. The appearance is Sim
liar to light reflected from wavy, run
ming water. Mr.. Douglas discovered how

11r. Lee brings proof that they cause the
twinkling.

made in the Lowell Observatory.
