HOT FOR HANNA
English Comment on American Polit-
ical Gossip

LONDON, August 12.-The West
minister Gazette this afternoon pub
lished a long leading article in which the
opinion ie expressed that if Secretary
Sherman should be forced to retire it
Twill make opinion too hot for Senator
Hanna" adding: TT is awful to con-
template the results. Hanna done out
of the price of making Mckinley Pres
ident. Some innocents may object that
if Sherman is too sensible to hold office
he must be too sensible for the Senate,
but as a matter of fact no one has yet
estimated how incompetent the man
must be before the Senate is closed to
him. In this it shares the advantage of
the House of Lords.
I'VE are rather sorry if Secretary
Sherman is to be superseded, as in his
own rough way he expresses a phase of
American feeling which it is important
for us to know"

HEN RY'S DUELS
No Referee to Decide Questions of
Priority

PARIS, August 12-Prince Henry of
Orleans, replying to the Duke of Aoslta
eldest nephew of the King of Italy, sent
to France by his Majesty with instruc-
tions to make an attempt to prevent a
duel being fought between Prince Henry
and General Albertone, as a result of
the Princes reflections upon the conduct
of Italian soldiers in Abyeinnia, in
formed the Duke that it is impossible for
him to retreat. 1t is now thought 9TH
ers will intervene in the matter.
The following semi-official communi-
cation has been issued:
1t is learned from trustworthy source
that the unexpected intervention of a
very high Italian parsonage, claiming
for himself the privilege of encounter
ing Prince Henry of Orleans, will in all
probability modify the situation. I'm
der these circumstances it is probable
that General Albertone will have to give
place to the exalted parsonage in uues-
ton.
A telegram received by Prince Henry
while travelling last night apprised him
of the new intervention.

Registered Mail

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Third AS
sistant Postmaster General Merritt to-
day called attention to growing prac-
tice of certain business concerns which,
in extending their trade, send registered
parcels containing their goods to the
smaller postoffices, addressed to ficti-
tious or otherwise unknown persons.
The concerns then make some plausible
excuse to the postmaster and ask him
to examine and dispose of the goods at
reduced prices rather than return the
parcel The opening of packages other
than by an addressee or on his written
order is forbidden by the postal regula
tons, as has been frequently been point
ed out by the department, and postmas-
ters are again warned to return them to
the sending office

Wei, says the japanese troops are being
rapidly reduced and only a comparative
ly small garrison now holds the place.
The forts are all dismantled and in
ruins; expensive Krupp guns of large
caliber lying about some broken and
fractured by charges of dynamite and
all thrown down and damaged in sucl,
a way as to be rendered utterly useless.
The thrifty husbandman has, in the
meantime, changed the aspect of affairs
by using the ground occupied by the
forts as an addition, to the adjoining
fields Of millet or sweet potatoes.

THE CRAVEN CASE
Notary Cooney Forgets Good Many
Things

| SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-The cross
| examination of Notary Cooney was con-
cluded today when the Angus Craven
trial was resumed. Beyond the fact that
Senator Fair called a. his office on Sep
tember "a, 1894, and acknowledged the
two deeds by which Mrs. Craven now
claims $1000,000 worth of property, and
that Roberts and Williams subsequently
desired to inspect the record book, he
remembered nothing. While he testl-
fed that he was in the habit of clipping G
the blank forms of certificate acknowl-
edgments, so that the printers name was
obliterated ne could not remember sim
gle other instance where he had done so,
although ques toned very closely.
The first witnesses for Mrs Craven this
afternoon were Carlos Jossa ano Charles
Sadler, San Rafael stationers whose
testimony was introduced to discrsdit
that of Witness Schneidea, the latter's
testimony having supported the allega
tion. that ex-senator Fair was in Sar
Rafael on September "a, 1894, and could.
not have given the deeds to Mrs, Craver
in this city on that day, nor could have
written the disputed will.
Williams Hennessy. for years a jan
itor at the school of which Mrs. Craven
was principal, testified that he haG car
ried many letters from Mrs. Craven to
Senator Fair, and had brought her
many answers. He said in Decenlber,
1894. in response to a rote from Mrs.
Craven, Fair had given him for delivery
to Mrs. Craven large, sealed envelope,
in which, Il is alleged. by defendant,
were the deeds at issue. Mrs Catherine
Williams, boarding house keeper, teS-
titled that she had ha6 business with
Senator Fair on September q, 1894, and
located him in Notary Cooney's office.
where she had waited for ar opportunity
to talk to him.

THAT BAD BRANDY
Dockery Gives His Reasons for Spill
ing It

SAN FRANCISCO, August 12.-Chief
Food Inspector Dockery took the wit
ness stand today in his own behalf when
the hearing of the case against him was
resumed before United States Commits
sioner Heacock, and testified to the eff
feet that when he took several barrels
of alleged brandy from the Southern
Pacific car and spilled the contents on
the ground he was not aware that the
stuff was in bond. This statement was
corroborated by several witnesses who
accompanied the inspector to the freight
yards in search of the liquor. Further
more, it was shown by the defense that
Naval officer J. p. Irish had never is
sued any permit for the withdrawal of
the liquor from the bonded warehouse,
having purposely refused to sign or
cOuntsrsign such order, upon learning
that the stuff was adulterated.
