DIFFERENCES SETTLED.
California Jockey Club and Horse
mems Assoc iation Reach an
Understanding

Admirers of the turf and bookmen in
general VIII be please to learn that the
differences existing between the newly
organized California Owners and Breed
ers' Protective Association and the Cali
fornia Jockey Club have been amica bly,
settled to the satisfaction of all parties in
terested.
The officials of the California Jockey
Club state they are perfectly in accord
with the views set forth by the horse
mems association and from now on there
seems TO be no reason why perfect har-
mony should not prevail between the
two. For a time il seemed as though
there would be a serious upheaval in turf
affairs, but wiser counsel prevailed and
the lowering clouds have lifted. With
both sides working in unison, followers of
the turf viii probably reap the benefit by
seeing cleaner sport and higher class
racing.

THE BARONESS TROUBLE
JENNIE YOUNG WILL RETURN TO
SAN FRANCISCO.
She Says She Was Only Taken To Europe
To Prevent Her Giving Testimony In
The Fair Will Case.

New York, May 2O.-A special to the
Journal from London says:
Baroness" Won Turkheim, formerly
Jennie Young, of San Francisco, who
believes that she was decoyed from
home to prevent her appearing as
witness in the Fair will case, has de-
parted from London for Liverpool,
whence she sails for America by the
steamer Laurentian. She was ac-
companied by her 4-year-old son. Her
COMPANION, who came with her from
San Francisco will meet her at Liv-
erpool and sail by the same steamer.
The Baroness Won Turkheim, as
she still calls herself, said that she had
lust received the telegram from the
district attorney at San Francisco
that passage had just been taken Tor
her to San Francisco. She only de-
sires to get quietly back to San Fran
cisco to her own house, deeds of which
she says, are in the possession OF Won
Turkheim.
She says that she has missed two
valuable gold watches which Won
Turkheim knew were in a little trunk
that disappeared as he did. A large
quantity of clothing was in her trunks
which he professed to have shipped to
Mannheim from Liverpool and she had
not seen them since.
The Baroness" says that Won Turk
helm was very much disappointed on
reaching London two weeks ago to
find that the remittance he had expect
ed was $1,000 short of the amount
promised him. He did not know wheth-
er Mr.. Delmar, Mrs. Craven's lawyer,
had failed to send the amount agreed
on, or whether Detective Stillwell had
secured it. 1t was while Won Turk
helm was smarting under this disap-
pointment that he revealed to the
Baroness" she says, that he had mar
ried her in pursuance Of a plot to get
her out of the way. He suggested to
her then she says, that they stand
in" together to make Delmar pay
large amount of money. The Bar
oness'' declares that if Won Turkheim
dares return to San Francisco she Will
prosecute him for bigamy.

WITNESSES WON'T TESTIFY
LEST THEY BRING DOWN
WEYLER'S WRATH.
Calhoun Is Very Patient And Will
Probably Begin The Actual
Hearing Of The Facts
In The Case Next
Monday.

New York, May 2O.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havan,v via Key West,
says:
The joint investigation of the Ruiz
case does not get along very we'll and
there is some danger that the United
States representative will find himself
forced to withdraw because of delays
and the tendency to politely ask and
insist upon undesirable conditions.
News comes that Ferrer, who figured
in Gen. Lees report of the Ruiz case,
and who was in Jail with the unfortun-
ate man in Guanabacoa at the time
of Ruiz's death, has been re-arrested
quietly, probably as a warning to him
and others that while Spain consents
politely to a free American investiga-
ton, she has her own ideas about the
duty of her subjects in a. case Of this
kind.
Ferrer insists that he is an American
citizen but not registered. 1t is said
also that since Mr.. Calhoun's arrival,
just as before General Lee began his
investigation last winter, word has
been passed down the line that all per-
sons who talk overmuch about foul
play will hear from it later, no matter
how prodigal the American govern
ment may be with promises Of protec-
ton at any cost. Mr.. Calhoun is dis
playing much patience and hopes to
get to work with the actual hearing by
Monday next.
There Is little doubt that he will Ell
Their confirm General Lees report Of
the Ruiz case in full or decide that
proper investigation of the facts is i'm
possible now because he cannot make
the witnesses believe that they will be
protected.
1t is reported that two new witness
ses have been found who heard impor-
tant matters in the Jail on the day that
Ruiz died.
General Weyler is expected here soon
and he has sent ahead Of him a long
interview to the local press in which
he makes the statement that the Gu
bans are worthy and intelligent people
and that as four western provinces are
wholly pacifedr the time to put the re-
forms in operation has come.

NEW ZEALAND PREMIER
IN NEW YORK ON HIS WAY TO
ENGLAND.
He Likes This Country And Is Sorry The
Arbitration Treaty Didn't WOrk-Talks
About His Own Country.

New York, May 20.-Richard John
Seldom, premier Of New Zealand, ac-
companied by his wife and two daugh-
tiers, is at the Waldorf. Premier Sed-
don is a distinguished looking man
and was born in England. His home
is in Wellington, and he was chosen
by the local parliament to represent
the colonies at the Queens jubilee. He
is now on his way to England and will
sail for Europe by the Cunard line next
Saturday. In the meantime he will
make a visit to Washington.
Mr.. Seldom journied leisurely across
the continent after he left San Fran
cisco. He stopped at Salt Lake City,
Chicago, Niagara Falls. Yesterday
he was warm in his praise of this
country. At am combining business
with pleasure on this trip" said he,
while on the way to attend the
Queens jubilee, / am seeing the Unit
ed States and will also look after mat
ters of my own. will go to Washington
for this reason and may be busy there
for a day or two.
II would like to take a run into Can
ada, but my time is so limited that
can hardly do that. 1 am much i'm
pressed with your country. The stretch
between Salt Lake City and Chicago
reminds me much of New Zealand.
We have in our country better roads,
1 think than you have here. Our
roads and streets are of hard wood and
smooth. We have no sleeping cars
yet, but we have several large cities and
our newspapers and various institu-
lions compare favorably with those in
this country"
When asked about the failure of the
arbitration treaty, Mr.. Seldom remark
ed: Il feel the same way as all other
subjects in her Majesty's dominions.
We all regret that treaty was not
passed, because of the common tie of
affairs between the two countries and
such a treaty and feel that it is the
general wish of the world that the two
countries shall always live at peace
with each other"
Mr.. Seldom expected to leave for En-
gland the latter part of June and will
get back to his old home some time in
September.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS.

Juan Ambrigo, who was arrested
early yesterday morning by Detective
McCIosky and officer Diaz and lodged
in the city Jail on the charge of being
a suspicious character, was not tried
in Recorders court this morning
Neither were Bernardo Cidron or
Manuel Cano, who were arrested yes
terday also later in the day by the
same two officers. The prisoners were
not brought into court at all and their
cases were all continued until tomor-
row. owing to the absence of witnesses
as the attorney for the city announc-
ed.
1t is believed that they are only be-
ing held on this charge until the Off
GERS can secure evidence enough to
make more serious charges against
them.

CITY TOPICS.
MR.. GRAY'S LETTER.

If there is any one thing more than
another that helped to pull down the
Elmendorf administration, it was the
employment of Mr.. Samuel Gray as
consulting engineer. 1t was under
stood when Mr.. Gray furnished his
expensive plans for the sewer system
to the city that the city would be
through with his services, except per-
haps in case there should arise any
necessity to consult him as to changes
or mistakes. In fact, if MI. Gray's plans
were what they should be, any COM
petent engineer would be able to carry
them out. The city engineer should
be a competent man, and Mr.. Gray's
employment was entirely superfiuous.
Mr.. Gray's occasional visits to our city
ostensibly to inspect work, were fars-
ical and caused any amount of scan
dial. An inspection of Mr.. Gray's &C
count in the auditors office shows the
following items: paid Mr.. Gray for
plans and specifications S5,777.OO. This
was the first payment. In making
these specifications Mr.. Gray did not
leave his home in the city of Provi-
dence. He was furnished all the lev
els and all information by the city en-
gineer's department, he merely put 1t
on paper. Right here the city should
have stopped all further payments to
Mr.. Gray. But we find the next pay
ment is s., 10000 for inspection. of sew
er material. Every one will remember
the brick scandal and every one knows
that this inspection fee TO Mr.. Gray
was entirely unnecessary and was not
continued. We next find that the city
enters into a contract with Mr.. Gray
to engage him as a consulting engineer
at the salary of $1,000 per year, paya-
BILE monthly; that all that was required
of Mr.. Gray was to be present when
bids. plans, ETC., were to be considered,
and to visit the city at least seven
times during the year, or $771 per visit.
This contract began in March 80. Mr..
GRAY has received from the city s1S.OSI.
And there is due him up to the time
of his dismissal, under the contract,
81. $4,000. So the public can see that
Mr.. Gray has been a very expensive
sewer ornament. 1t transpires that
affairs were so loosely conducted that
Mr.. Gray did not take the trouble to
pay the seven visits in person but had
a substitute at times, although the
contract required his personal pres
ence and made no provision for a sub
stitute. Sufficient facts have come to
the knowledge of the present admins
tration to warrant Mr.. Gray's dismiss
sal because of noncompliance with his
agreement The latest development
in this transaction is Mr.. Gray's letter
TO Mayor Callaghan claiming that he
is still the consulting engineer, and Of
fering his distinguished services. He
limits the time in which the city shall
avail itself of his services by inform
ing the mayor and council that he will
he at the Menger hotel until the 18th
inst. After that at his home in Provi-
dence. r. 1. The nature of Mr.. Gray's
services. after the acceptance of his
plans, have been positively worthless
to the city, and even If the city Is COM
PEELED to pay for his time. we can dis
pense with his company.

Murder OF Two Men and Burn the
Home of Another.
Mountain Grove, Mo-, May 20.-Six
miles north Of here on the banks OF
Milestone river, a mob Of white caps
murdered two men last night and
burned the home of another. There has
been much thieving in that district of
late, and suspicion pointed to Lige
Mayfield and the Mitchell brothers,
John and Dave, who had been warned
to leave the country. The mob did
not find Mayfield at home, so his house
was burned. The Mitchell boys barri-
caded their house and the raiders fir
ed upon the place, killing John Mitch
ell and his brother-in-law, Jack Coff1
man, and seriously injuring Dave
Mitchell. The raiders recently took
Dave Mitchell from his house, whip
ped him and warned him to leave, but
he remained defiant. The Mitchelps
have been in the pen.
