MURDERER BUTLER.
Little Doubt the Fugitive is on the
Ship Swanhilda.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20-From
Intelligence brought by the officers of
the steamship Australia, which arrived
to-day, it would appear that Captain
Fraser of the Swanhilda is aware of
the identity of the supposed Captain
Lee Weller, and that probably the
much-wanted fugitive is now in irons
on the vessel.
When the steamship Monowai ar
rived two weeks ago she brought infor-
nation that the Hawaiian steamship
Taupo had spoken the Swanhilda, and
that papers containing accounts of But
Ter and his crimes had been given to
Captain Fraser. By the Australia it
was learned that the Taupo had spoken
the Swanhilda, but had not placed any
papers on board.
When the Captain of the Taupo
sighted the Swanhilda he signaled to
Captain Fraser as follows: Frank But
Ter, alias Captain Lee Weller, muir
derer, on board"
Captain Fraser responded with the
signal, "All right; 1 understand
This would indicate that Butler was

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2O.-Hon. Jo-

where he has been in conference with

Il have been to Canton" said Judge
McKenna to a representative of the AS

concerning the Cabinet and concerning
my taking a position therein But
wish to say that some statements have

rs it true that you have been invited

Nothing has been decided" was the
response.
But were you not invited to visit
Canton in reference to your acceptance
of the position alluded top
THAT is putting the matter too board
ly"
But what is there to the report about
the Cabinet in connection with your
self?"
Il am afraid the newspapers have
stated it too strongly. My visit to Can
ton has been given too much signif-
canoe. | do not deny that l may enter
President McKinley's Cabinet but from
that to the fact of entering it there are
some obstacles. 1t is difficult to express
and be correctly understood the freedom
which has been left with Major McKin-
ley and myself"
Concerning the obstacles, Judge, it
has been more than limited that one OBJ
stacle to your accepting a Cabinet po-
sition might be the possibility of
your appointment to seat on
the bench of the Supreme Court of
the United States to succeed Justice
stephen j. Field upon his retirement"
Now" said Judge McKenna, decided
ly. there is nothing at all to that story.
When | mentioned impediments it is not
10 be understood that my going on the
Supreme Court bench is a condition.
The impediments are entirely personal
which may prevent my going into the
Cabinet-if the position should be finally
rendered to me-"
Further than this Judge McKenna did
not care to talk about any connection
between himself and the Cabinet of the
President-elect.
1 was not a candidate for Cabinet
position when l went to Canton he
said, nor am l a candidate for such a
position now"

Store up Food for Winter

Our Animal Friends: Have you
ever seen the weasel carry his
winter food to his den2 If you
meet him in the woods, watch him
at work; no one could be more
methodical. He brings his food
to the entrance of his home, and
suddenly pops into the ground
that serves him as a doorway.
Whatever food he may have
brought he willlay it near his door,
go in, turn around and then reach
out to drag in the dainty after
him.
The chipmunk is another busy
housekeeper. He works on much
the same plan IS the weasel, and
to and fro he will hasten on the
still days of October, seeming to
understand the advantage of toll
ing while the winds and sky are
favorable. In storing his provis-
ions the chipmunk is far more
careful than the red squirrel, and
he is also more particular about
furnishing his home. He selects
the dry maple leaves or those of
the plane tree, and stuffs them
carefully into his cheek pockets
to carry them to his den. When
he cannot find enough nuts or
grain this provident little house
keeper chooses something else.
We know oftwo chipmunks that
were observed by a student of
animals while they we're gathering
cherry pits from under a cherry
tree near the students house. AS
he Preferred watching the workers
to disturbing them, theygrew more
friendly, and we're full of Joy at
the unusual feast that they were
laying up for themselves. They
gathered the seeds of the sugar
maple also, and, as many of the
keys we're yet on the trees, al
though the leaves had fallen, the
chipmunks harvestedthem by run
ming swiftly out upon the ends of
the small branches, reaching for
the maple keys, shipping off the
wings and deity slipping the nut
into their cheek pockets.

Hardy Bulbs What to Plant.

There is so much to be done in
the spring in the yard and garden
that if we depend on spring SOW
ing for all our flowers for the sea-
son we shall either have too much
work or too little bloom. There
are so many beautiful, hardy,
plants and bulbs that, when once
put in place properly, remain there
year after year and beautify the
yard with their green foliage and
brilliant %colors, just at that early
season when spring-sown seeds
are sprouting, that no n desir-
ing a pretty yard or lawn can af-
ford to neglect them. They bless
their owner three times a year;
when they are seen in spring,
shooting into the air without hav-
ing to be planted; when they are
in bloom; when they require no
lifting in the fall.
If you can not have many bulbs
in the yard, or if you are a begin
ner in flower culture, begin with
H%yacinths, Tulips, Crocuses, Mar
cissi, Lilies and Iris Kaempferi.
If one starts out without plump,
sound bulbs and a well-drained
bed, and has a fair supply of COM
mon sence, there is no reason why
any n should not grow any bulb
to perfection.
October is the month to do
ones hardy bulb planting, al
though they often do finely when
planted earlier or later. Perhaps
Crocuses andLilies should be plant
ed earlier than than the Goth of
October.
