With the Crime.
Some Doubt Expressed as to Whether
Purser Rogers, Who is Reported to
Have Jumped From the Steam.
ship Santa Rosa While at Sea,
Committed Suicide-A Theory Ad-
VanCed That He Left the Vessel in
Disguise While at Port Hartford.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-The
state of mind of the men who have been
devoting their wits to the solution of
the Hoffman mystery may be inferred
from the following paragraphs:
Chief of Police Lees will not say that
Isaac Hoffman, in his opinion, commit
ted suicide, but he does not encourage
the murder theory.
Henry Ach, the attorney for Hoffman,
Rothchild & Co, declares that the dead
merchant was murdered, and he alleges
that Theodore A. Figel was not a trust
worthy bOol<keeper, but when asked to
name the man, who, according to his
belief killed Hoffman, he pauses, looks
grave and remains silent.
Edward S. Rothchild, the partner of
Isaac and Charles Hoffman, pictures
Isaac as man who had no reason to
end his existence with a pistol, and
speaks as if he We're convinced that
murder was committed, but he avoids
saying so positively.
Joseph Naphtaly, the attorney for
Mrs. Hoffman, can see no motive for
suicide, but he does not care to make a
decisive declaration as to who fired the
fatal shots

ARCHBISHOP JANSEN DEAD.
Expired on Steamer En- Route From
New Orleans to New York.

NEW ORLEANS, June 12.-Arch-
bishop Francis Jansen died on the
steamer Creole Thursday enroute to
New York, where he was to take ship
for Europe, his intention being to visit
his family in Holland. Three years ago
he visited them, and on his return he
was in the best of health. Since then
his grace labored hard, and for some
time it had been apparent that he was
breaking down, and that the germs of
an insidious disease were in his system.
Owing to opportunities of his friends
he decided to pay visit to his family,
believing that a sea voyage would do
him good. Accordingly, he sailed on
Wednesday, and at the ship many dis
tinguished Catholics bade him bon voy
age. 1t was apparent then that the
Archbishop was a very sick man.
Mgr. Jansen came to America as a
priest, became Bishop in Mississippi,
and on the death of Archbishop Leray
was appointed in 1888 Archbishop of
this diocese, one of the largest and
most wealthy in this country.
His administration of the diocese was
most successful.
The remains will be brought to the
city tonight from Port Olds, and ar
rangements will be made then for the
funeral, which will be a magnificent re-
ligious function. The Archbishop's
body was transferred at sea from the
steamship Creole to the Hudson of the
same line and arrived in New Orleans
this afternoon

REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH,
The Committee on Canons Not Ready
to Report.

NEW YORK, June 12.-There was an
atmosphere of anxiety pervading the
General Council of the Reformed Epis-
copal Church this morning What the
outcome of the councils action yester-
day will be-whether it will iniure the
church or not-was discussed.
Treasurer Helm, in reading the report
Of the Finance Committee, called atten-
ton to the church's need of money, and
announced that it ought to maintain
the regular reserve in the church treas
ury. The amounts annually given to
small churches would have to be re-
duced to 500. The salaries of some of
the old Bishops We're temporarily re-
duced.
The early part of the morning session
was devoted to reports on missionary
work
The constitution matter came up in
the afternoon session, when it was re-
ported by the Committee on Canons
and Constitution that it would be 1n-
able to report on the amendments, and
it was decided to make them a special
order of business for Monday.
The next General Council will be held
on the third Wednesday of Nav. 1900
at Baltimore.
A resolution was adopted declaring
that the sentiment that had gained
ground among people that the Chris
tian religion is not the only exclusive
and imperial religion for all the races
of men. but is only one among religions

land, w. C. Whitney. Ex-Governor
Flower, Ex-Governor Waller of Con-
necticut and others.
Ex-President Cleveland in his letter
of regret said: II should be delighted if
it We're possible to be with you, and
thus add one more to those who will
demonstrate to Mr. Bayard how fully
his broad patriotism and high civic
virtues are appreciated by his fellow
countrymen. Such examples as he fur
nished of true love of our country can
not, in these days of their scarcity, be
too fully recognized"
After the reading of these letters, Mr.
Bayard was introduced and said in
part: THE kind words of welcome
home again with which you have greet
ed me, and the generous measure of
praise and thanks which have been ac-
corded to me tonight, fill me with graf
itude, and are ample reward for all
have done as the representative of our
country in Great Britain, in what,
think, must be conceded to be a fair
and honest effort to deserve them. If
have ambition, which / may here con-
TESS, it is certainly to read my history
in nations eyes and to feel assured
that my fame or notorety has not been
increased by the losses and sufferings
OF the people, with the care of whose
interests / have been intrusted"
Mr.. Bayard concluded his address by
reference to the arbitration treaty and
to the political conditions existing in
the United States, pleading for the gold
standard and for the adoption of a
tariff for revenue only.

PURSER ROGERS.
Some Doubt Expressed as to Whether
He Committed Suicide.

SAN DIEGO, June 12-The supposed
suicide of H. K. Rogers, formerly pur-
ser of the steamer Corona. has occa-
stoned not a little comment among peo-
pie here who were well acquainted with
him. From them some facts have been
learned which throw new light on the
affair, but do not clear away the mys-
terry.
In the first place, Rogers had left the
steamship company's service some time
ago, on account of extra duties imposed
on him. Just before his disappearance
he sought reinstatement, but had not
succeeded. 1t is stated, too, that he
had private troubles which preyed upon
his mind.
Some doubt is expressed as to
whether he committed suicide. 1t is
stated by those in a position to know,
that he could have left the Santa Rosa
at Port Hartford without being OBJ
served. The steamer was there four
hours and he had ample opportunity to
slip away. The theory has been ad-
vanced that he disguised himself and
left the vessel at that place

ASA FISK'S ESTATE.
Contest Begun by His Son by a
Former Marriage.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 12.-Asa w.
Fisk of Boston, son of the late noted
money lender of this city by a former
marriage, to-day brought action in the
courts to have his fathers estate held
in trust until certain claims, amounting
to 81 ,099064, which he is prepared to
make, have been settled.
Fisk says that when his father left
Boston in early days to come to Cali
fornia he took with him the claimants
savings, amounting to S1SI 30. He al
leges that this formed the basis of the
money lenders fortune and that ii was
agreed the money should be invested in
the sons favor. The latter claims that
this money loaned out at the rate of
interest usually charged by his de-
ceased father would now amount to
S934 36S. He makes a further claim
against the estate for $144, ,S9G, which
he says his father lost by injudicious
Investment in Tacoma ONash.1 lands.
The claimant was cut off in his fathers
Will, hence the action.

der of Postmaster Brand Of this oity..

der of Postmaster Brand of this city,
Soon after it was thought that the
much-traveled dog had been killed in
Cleveland an edict went forth ordering
all mail clerks to refuse passage to the
Wanderer.
Owney fell sick about that time, and
was cared for in st. Louis. He was
then started out again, and came here
yesterday from Frankfort, Ind, bear
ing only three medals on his collar.
This is evidence that he had done very
little travelling, as he was usually deco
rated at each stop with some sort of a
badge.
Owney attacked Clerk Blankertz
here, infiicting painful wounds in his
hand United States Marshal Shannan
was asked to kill him, but the dog
made rush for the gentleman and tore
his trousers.
Postmaster Brand, seeing that the
dog had grown so cross that it was
dangerous to harbor him, ordered the
Chief of Police to kill him, and Owney
met death within a few minutes. His
skin will be mounted at the expense of
the Toledo clerks and forwarded to
Washington for the official museum.
The medals were sent to Albany, where
his other trophies are stored.
Owney was II years old, and his
years of travel all over the United
States and around the world have
made him t he most noted dog of his
time.

Closer Organization Between Pro-

LOS ANGELES, June 12.-Producers
of oil in the fields in this city have per-
fected a closer organization, and to-day
an agreement was entered into to ship
by rail 10000 barrels. They refuse to
say where it will be shipped to.
Since the edict of the Southern Cali
fornia Railway, the largest consumer
to pay only 81 per barrel after June 1st,
the producers have been disorganized,
but with the organization and an
agreement it is hoped that this will re-
lieve the situation until larger stor-
age capacity can be obtained.
