SENTENCE AFFIRMED
Hill Must Hang for Numbering His
Wife

SAN FRANCISCO. April 2s.-The su-
preme court has affirmed the decision OF
the lower court of Alameda county, which
pronounced the death penalty against
BENJAMIN Hill for the murder OF his wife,
Agnes In Oakland. on January II. 1875
Hi.. was a railroad man, and on account
of scarcity of work has been In oregon
for some time leaving his wife and child
in Oakland On his return Hill met his
wife on the street. asked her TO live wi.h
hirn, but she refused and he alleges that
she had been unfaithful to him. He claims
that sne admitted the charge OF infideity
Thereupon he shot her. from the effects
OF which she died in few minutes. Upon
his arrest Hill acknowledged the act and
asserted that he desired to have the law
take it's course. He afterward changed
his mind ard fought the charge OF murder
against him. The jury brought In ver-
dict of murder without provocation and
Hill was sentenced 10 be hanged He ap-
pealed upon the ground that the jury had
been improperly charged. that the testi-
mony against him had been improperly
admitted, but relied principally upon the
fact that the court did not provide blank
form of a verdict of guilty of murder in
the second degree for the jury. The court.
meeting this contention, says that If the
Jurors conclude upon verdict other than
one furnished to them. they have the
power TO write q verdict in conformity
with their opinion.

YUCATAN is PLEASED
OVER SETTLEMENT OF BELIZE
BOUNDARY
The Citizens Join in Sending Thanks
to President Diaz for His
Successful Meditation

| CITY OF MEXICO, April 23.-The cit
| izens of Yucatan are sending by wire and
! mail their thanks to President Diaz for
the final settlement of the Belize boun-
dary dispute by means of the treaty just
, ratified Foreign Minister Mariscal, in
| a speech during the recent session of the
senate, at which the tretay was ratified,
said that the question of the rights of
England in Belize could not be discussed
for the reason that that power refused to
discuss them.
He added: 1T would have been impos
sible to oblige England TO enter into
discussion except by means such as Ven
ezuela resorted to. beginning by break
ing off diplomatic relations with the
English government and sacrificing the
immense advantages of our credit in Eu-
rope and ending by falling under the tu-
telage of the United States, which would
make the treaty in our name and ap-
point arbitrators to act for us, as for
Venezuela. This is the only thing posi-
BILE and at this sacrific we should not be
sure that arbitration would go in our
favor as their rights are much clearer
than ours, as they claim actual possess
sion which is more than we can do. The
result of arbftraAioI would be against
Mexico without doubt, for on legal
grounds Mexico has no solid reasons for
claiming sovereignty in Belize"
The minister declared to the senate
that he had, in his long diplomatic ca,
reer, never performed more ungratefui
duty than that of signing this treaty,
but ones fulfilment of duty cannot al
ways be pleasant: He added:
The settlement of the question
might have been indefinitely postponed,
but it seemed best for the interests that 1t
be ended and the treaty will put stop
to the Illicit trade in mahogany and vii,
prevent Belize being made base of OPP
erations of depredating Indians. Mex
leo recalls, however, in 1S45, when thu
Indians were in insurrection, British
colonists in Belize sold arms and ammu-
nitien to the Indians, who laid waste
great part of Yucatan.~
The minister characterized this as
crime against humanity and said this
undoubtedly tended to enhance erro-
neous ideas on the part of the Mexicans
regarding their territorial rights. The
publca ton of the minister's speech has
served to allay criticism.

ONE-WAY RATE
Doesn't Suit the Southern
Pacific
RATES FOR ENDEAv0RERS
GREATLY TROUBLE WESTERN
MANAGERS
A Bare Possibility That the Bay Oily
May Yet Lose the Big Con-
vention Altogether
RATES FOR ENDEAvoRERs

Associated Press Special Wire.
! CHICAGO, April 23.-Western roads
held a meeting this afternoon to consid-
er Christian Endeavor rates. They dio
not come to any decision. but referred
the whole matter to the executive COM
mittee. The proposition which seemed
most favorable was that one-half way
rate of s25 between Chicago and san
Francisco be made in both directions
/ via the Missouri river. and that one
way in each direction via st. Paul and
Portland be S32.5o. In making this
proposition the western roads know it
will be acceptable to the Southern Pa
cific. 1t rather signified its dislike OF
the one rate plan in dealing with the mat
ter and wants a round trip rate Of $50
made from Chicago.
The western roads cannot see any more
than the one way rate of protecting
their regular business from demoraliza-
ton through manipulation of these very
low rates, however. and they have In
timated very strongly that II the south
ern Pacific does not like their plan, they
will stay out of the business altogether
and allow the convention to be taken
away from San Francisco.
The reference OK the matter to the ex-
ecutive committee Is to see If 1t cannot
make terms with the Southern Paclnc,
without concurrence of which no rate
can be made. 1t may be ten days or two
weeks before the matter ie finally set
led, although the executive committee
was instructed to meet tomorrow and
consider It.
The Southern Pacific road objects to
the one-way rate plan. but the other
lines think it is the only way left them
of protecting their local business. or
course the Southern Pacific can refuse
to adopt the plan, and II so would kill 1t.
In that case, however. the western
roads would simply say that under such
circumstances they did not care to go
into the business at all The result OF
that course would be to take the con-
vention away from San Francisco and
leave the Southern Pacific in the cold.
FIVE CENT FARE
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 2S.-
Judge Showalter Of the United States
court has granted an injunction asked
for by the Citizens Street railway
against the enforcement Of the three
cent fare law. TIL effect will be to re-
turn to five-cent fares.
Attorney-General Ketcham intends
that the supreme court of the state shall
pass upon the act. After be had read the
opinion of Judge Showalter he said: IF
any one thinks that the supreme court
OF this state will not have an oppor-
tunity to pass upon the constitutionality
of this act he is mistaken"
The attorney-general does not regard
the decision of the matter as q strong
one.
1T is not a decison: 1t is an excuse
said he in reviewing it.
Mr. Ketcham believes the law Is valid,
and he does not propose to leave any
thing undone to present his views to the
supreme court Of the state.
