THE ADAMS At SAN DIEGO
Naval Apprentices Reach Fort After Their
FIRST Cruise on an American
Ganboas

SAN DIEGO. CAL, March q. = The
United States gunboat Adams, the train
ing-ship for naval apprentices, arrived in
port at $3.50 o'clock this morning, after a
cruise of thirty-fve days from San Fran
cisco. Lieutenant Miner reported all we'll
on board, including the 100 apprentice
boys, who are now in port alter their first
cruise on the trolling Deep"
For the first ten days after leaving San
Francisco" said Lieutenant Miner, 1--WE
encountered very rough weather and the
boys were frightfuliy sick. Some of the
poor fellows were SO ill that they declared
that they didn't want to live any longer.
But few days of that sort of thing in
itiated them beautifully, and before we
had been out two weeks there wasn't q
sick man or boy aboard ship. The weather
since then has been fine and, as far as
can Judge, / believe the experiment of
training young American boys for the
United States navy will prove a.signal
success.
1--WE Will remain here about ten days
and will then sail for Magdalena Bay,
thence to Honolulu, thence to Port An
geles, Wash, arriving back at San Fran
cisco about July Is. During our cruise we
have been under sail all the time, having
used none OF Uncle Sans money for coal,
and the boys have thus had an experience
in sailing a ship impossible for them to
acquire IN any other way. During the
cruise we have sailed $3.50 miles, going as
far south as Cape San Lucas"

VETOED BY WASHiNG70G'S CHIEF.
EW Providing for New Stntehouse
Meets the Opposition of the
Governor

TACOMA, WASH, March Ex-Governor
Rogers last night vetoed the capitol bill
passed by the late Legislature. and there
by destroyed all hopes OF this State hav-
ing a suitable statehouse before this GEN.
tury ends. -Four years ago plans were
accepted for $l0Oo,OoO capitol and the
necessary appropriation was made, pay
ment. to be made by warrants drawn on
the capitol fund, having for its basis the
big land grant given to the State by Con-
gress for capitol purposes. None of this
lanu has been sold, and warrants have not
been salable without the State guarantee
of interest. Excepting the foundation the
capitol has remained unbuilt.
The bill recently passed provided for re-
ducing the cost of the edfice to $500. 900,
and the State was to guarantee per cent
interest on half that amount. Governor
Rogers declares that a building erected for
that sum by modifying the original plans
would be an eyesore and disgrace. He
therefore vetoes the measure, which means
that entirely new plans must be procured
if the next Legislature TWO years hence
orders the capitol built.
The present frame Statehouse at Olym-
pia was built manv years ago, and could
be duplicated for $1,000. The State offices
are located in rented brick building.

The socialist movement was causing

Kneller conceived the idea of turning it

There is not much in common between
the latter and the Christian social organi-

agitator, DR.. Lueger. They have pros

causes. The discomfort of the lower

action among the upper classes in Austria

wife two years ago by strychnine poison
ing, is a free man. He had three trials.
At the first the jury disagreed; on the
second a verdict of manslaughter was
brought against him and he was sentenced
to fifteen years mprisonment but the
Supreme Court reversed the judgment and
his third trial was taken up three weeks
ago, resulting in his acquttal by jury
this morning. 1t was a case that at-
tracted as much attention here as did that
of young DR.. Carlyle Harris, who, about
two years ago, vas electrocuted in New
York for poisoning his young bride while
she was attending seminary.
Mrs. Ellsworth died on the morning of
February 10. 1895. under conditions SO
peculiar as to justify a coroner's inquest.

death, and a subsequent examination OF

The circumstantial proof
against the defendant was dangerously
strong. Even the dying declaration of
the woman tended to the belief that she
had been given strychnine by her hus-

Another strong point made by the prose-
cution was the introduction of testimony
to the effect that several hours before
Mrs. Ellswor.h's death, the accused had
written and mailed letters to friends an
nouncing the death OF his wife.
The supposed motive for the alleged
crime was Ellsworth's infatuation for an
other woman. Ellsworth is young man
about thirty years old. and formerly lived
in New York, Casper (Wyoming) and st.
