ton that all labor. without regard TO
color is welcome TO its ranks, and de-
nouncing as untrue in fact the reported

CLUTE MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED.
Her AssaiIant Russian Nihilist,
Who Is Now I'm Custody.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 16.-The mys-
terry attending the brutal murder of Mrs.
Mary c, Clute in Guerrero street fat last
evening has apparently been solved. After
a severe struggle the woman was beaten
to death with an iron coupling pin, which
crushed her skull, and the police are salts
fed that the man who used this deadly
weapon Is now in custody.
He is Russian, known as Albert HoY,
but his full name Is Albert Frederick
George Verenssenockkockhoff. He stated
to the police that he was born in Baden
in 1890 but he does not appear to be more
than so years of age. He had been en-
ployed by Mrs. Clute 10 assist her to move
and renovate some mattresses, and was
known TO have been at her house yester-
day afternoon. Today he walked into the
police station and attempted to account for
his presence at the newlyrented Clute
fiat. His statements were suspciousiy
contradictory, and he was placed under
arrest.
Late this evening the prisoner was posi-
lively identified by Mrs. l.. A. Legg who
occupies the room directly under that In
which the murder was committed. as the
men who she and her invalid father-in-
law saw leaving the house after they had
been alarmed by Mrs. Clute's dying calls
for help. Further discriminating evil
dence against the prisoner Is furnished
by the fact that he IS left-handed. and
that his left hand is badly cut. as though
by the sharp fsange of the coupling pin
which the murder was committed with.
Abundant evidence was found that a
struggle had taken place. but there was no
indication that the assassin had accom-
plished his evident purpose, which was not
robbery.
Hoff. who streruously maintains his in
nocence, is known As a socialist. an
anarchist. and It is reported that he is
actively connected with the nhilists.

yesterday TO prohibit pelagic sealing by

poses and the necessity for its enactment

limit should be placed on the operation of
the act. so that in case the negotiations
with Great Britain should collapse our

bill He argued that the effect OF this
bilI and the negotiations now being con-
Quoted, would be the boistering up of the
two great industries, one in the Bering
sea and the other in London. The present
herd was not worth protecting. The pur-
pose was 20 build up a new herd. He de-
ciared that Canada would only be too will

sealing on condition that we should allow
her TO write our tariff laws. He was par
