Picked Green walnuts.

It is only when the nuts are of me-.
dunn size, and before showing any sign
of blackness that they are tender, have
delicious ordor, that disappears
later, and are exactly right for pick
ling. To make all sure, whether or.
dered from the grocer or picked di-
rectly from the trees, it is necessary
to test the nuts by pricking with 9
coarse needle, which should enter to
the heart without resistance. Proceed
as follows: Rub the fuzz carefully
from each nut with a rough flannel,
then allow them to stand for nine days
in brine of salt and water strong;
enough to float an egg, this to be sure-
ly changed every other day. Onthef
tenth day remove, spread out to dry.
in the air for an hour, then cover with
boiling water, drain, rub each with fam
mel once more, prick again to the heart
with the needle in three or four places
and put in carefully in glass jars. To
twenty-five nuts allow quart of vine-
gar, teaspoonful Of whole cloves, the
same of allspice and black pepper, and
half the quantity of whole mace and
nutmeg. Simmer the vinegar and
spices in a porcelain-lined or agate
saucepan for twenty minutes, then
strain over the nuts while boiling (the
jars should have been properly sea-
soned to prevent breaking) spread the
grated horseradish and whole mustard
seed on top, cover and keep in dark,
cool place. New York Tribune.

The Bark Abandoned
Five Miles South Of
Cape Flattery.
Tuq Sea Lion Takes Her In Tow
and Heads for Port
Townsend.
The Vessel Lu11aber-Laden- Boats
Missing and Fears That Her Crew
Has Persisted.

VICTORIA. B, c., Dec. 29.-Captain
Debney Of the steamer City Of Puebla
reports that on his way north from San
Francisco he sighted a lumber laden
bark ashore five miles south of Cape
Flattery. he signaled, but got no an
swer. The bark was seemingly aban-
doned. Heavy seas were running.
At midnight word was received from
Tatoosh that the vessel reported ashore
by Captain Debney, of the City Of
Puebla, was the bark Tidal Wave, Cap
tain Lancaster, which left Tacoma De-
cember Is with lumber for San Pedro,
Cal. She is now being towed into
Port Townsend by the tug Sea Lion.
All the bark's boats are missing, from
which it is supposed that the officers
and crew, fearing she was going to
sink, put off and left her to her fate
AS there has been very rough weather
outside since the bark went to sea ten
days ago, it is feared the boats and
their occupants have been lost.
The bark Tidal Wave was built at
Port Madison twenty eight years ago
and has nearly always been engaged in
the coast lumber trade. Her home
port is at Tacoma, where she is owned.

Several Legislators Who OPP
posed the Incumbent Are
Now In His Ranks.
Opposition Forces Will Test Their
Strength on the Preliminary
Organization.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 2e.-There was
an influx of legislators tonight and
the scenes about the hotel Hobbies indi-
Gated that the senatorial election was
the absorbing question. That the anti
Hanna Republicans, led by Charles
Kurtz, will test the strength Of their
forces in the organization Of the Leg
islature was indicated by the unofficial
announcement that Representative
Mason of Cleveland would oppose Rep
resentative BoxweIl of Warren County
for speaker. Mason, accompanied by
Representative Bramley of Cleveland,
both of whom are known to be I'M
friendly to Senator Hanna, opened
headquarters at the Great Southern
Hotel to-day and 1t was generally I'M
derstood that the anti-Hanna men
would conduct their campaign from
Democratic State headquarters are 10
Gated in the same hotel.
Allen o. Meyers is the apparent
leader of the Democrats in the pro-
posed fusion with the anti-Hanna Re-
publicans. Meyers has given out that
the Democratic members of the House
Speaker and c. H. Gerrish IF Columbus,
one Of Kurtz's lieutenants, for clerk of
the House in opposition to John r.
Malloy. The anti-Hanna Republicans
are to turn all the other Offices of the
House over to the Democrats in con-
sideration of the election OF the men
chosen by Kurtz Tor speaker and clerk.
A conference OF Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature and party lead
ers is to be held here on Friday to
discuss the proposed fusion with the
antt-Hanna Republicans Within the
last few days strong opposition has
arisen from certain Democrats to the
proposed fusion, and it is now certain
that all the Democratic members can
not be whipped into line. Several
Democratic members who arrived in
that they would not vote for any one
except Democrat for United States
Senator. These members will serve
their first term, and they say that If
they voted for any Republican to de-
feat Senator Hanna, they would not
be returned.
There was conference of Republi-
can leaders at Major Dicks rooms In
the Neil this afternoon and tonight,
but It was stated that they were mere
~ talking over the situation. Major
Dick said that Senator Hanna's re-
election was assured.
It was significant that Representa-
tive Snyder of Green County, who was
formerly counted as an anti Hanna
man, was conspicuous at Major Dick g
headquarters and working in Senator
Hanna's interests. Several Republi-
can members. upon their arrival to-
day, were claimed by Kurtz's lieuten-
ants as opposed to Senator Hanna,
but, on being pressed, admitted they
intended to vote for him. While Kurtz
denies himself to all public interviews,
he at times asserts to his confidential
friends that Senator Hanna will be de-
feated-

CHOPS HIS WIFE TO

Horrible Crime Committed BY Negro In
the Business District of Kansas


KANSAS CITY, Mo- Dec. 29.-Nellie
Johnson, young negress, was chopped
to death with q Ratchet in an alley
near Tenth and Wyandotte streets. In
the business district OF the city. Her
husband was the murderer. He called
her from their house into the alley
and attacked her with the Ratchet. The
woman threw up her hands to protect
her head. When men who heard her
cries ran to the scent they found her
dying Each of eight blows upon her
head split the skull and her hands had
been literally chopped to pieces.
Near by stood horse and an express
wagon, in which there were ropes tied
to a heavy stone. II had evidently
been the intention of the murderer to
throw his victim into the river, but the
womans outcry had prevented this be-
ing done. Johnson is still at large.

The officers and passengers of the

simply watch the progress Of events.
The German admiral, in a proclama-
ton to the residents Of the districts

continue their peaceful avocations, and
warns them that any breaches Of the
law will be punished.

The German officials here take the
view that there are but two actual
steps on the part of Germany, namely,
the occupation Of Kiae-Ch Bay and
the dispatch ef Prince HeHFy's fleet to
Chinese waters. Beyond this, they
say, ali Is conjecture as to what Ger
many will de; that Prince Henry will
extend his field of operations beyond
Chinese waters and viii embrace sa-
nes and Hawaii is dismissed as alb

The British embassy has not re-
cetVed q word from the Foreign Office
on the Eastern situation, but, IN COM
mon with other diplomats, the off,
Gisls view the situation as the most
interesting one now occupying Rtten-
ton. There IL a general disposition to
credit the late reports that a consid-
cradle British feet Is at Port Ha1nr-
ton. off Korea. and that large num-
Der Of Japanese ships are In the same
vicinity. There are some II British
ships on the Asiatic station, and
EOod PetEt OI IIleI1 appear TO De cen
tering about Korea. This. however,
is said to be apart from the general
question Of Chinese partition and to
relate only to the displacement Of an
English official who had an tnf1uen-
tial position in the administration OF
Korean affairs.
French diplomats say France Is not
likely to take any part in a struggle
for Chinese territory, II that eventu-
atty comes, as France already has Sc
cured most extensive possessions in
southeastern China, notably French
Tonquin. 1t was M. Patenotre, the
late French ambassador at Washing
ton, who carried through the negotia-
lions with Ii Hung Chang by which
France secured this foothold on Ash
attic soil. Beyond the sending of the
French cruiser Jean Bart to Chinese
waters, it is said that the Chinese sit
uation does not appear to have
aroused France, and the dispatch of
this cruiser is said to have no more
significance than the sending of the
United States cruiser Raleigh, which
is now on her way to the Chinese sta
ton.

While IT Appears That Russia Has Virtually
Taken Possession of the Land of
Great Korea.

VICTORIA, Dec. 29.-Mafls from the
Orient to-day bring the text Of the
proclamation Of the German admiral
upon the occasion Of the seizure of
Kiao Chou Bay It is rich in German
humor. Won Diederichs, commander
in chief Of the Imperial German East
ern feet, after stating that his sove-
reign had instructed him ITO land at
Kiao Chou Bay at the head Of my force
and seize the said bay and all the ISL
ands and dependencies thereof" de-
fines the boundaries and adds that the
territory Is to be held until the case
Of the murder Of the German mis-
sionaries in Shang Tung be settled.
He then addresses the people thus:
ct find ii necessary to exhort to you
all to continue your servile avocations
and avoid listening to the words of
the disreputable and rowdy class to
create disturbances. AS a matter Of
fact Germany and China have always
been friendly and at peace, and for
rnerly when China was at war with
Japan Germany used her utmost eff
forts to rescue China from her d.
lemma This was to prove our friend
power. We are now here, not as enc
mics of China, hence you need not
hesitate and entertain suspicious about
u.s.
The admiral proposes that any dis
contented characters who shall en-
deavor to create disturbances shall be
beheaAed, and that If any German sub
jects be killed the murderers shall be
shot" He continues: You should

and you will see that you are too
weak to resist"
Particulars have also been received
Of the outrage upon the Chinese gen.
eral of Kiao Chou, who, when on his
way to the German admiral to for
mally protest against the occupation,
had his bodyguard fired upon by a
party of German blue Jackets, four
being killed by the three volleys d.
rected at them. The general was then
made a close prisoner on the German
flagship.
The text of the Alexeieff agreement
between Russia and Korea has been re-
ceived here. 1t recites that the send
ing Of the Russian of that name to
superintend the financial and customs
administration of the Korean Govern
nlent was at the request of the King
Of Korea, and after defining his duties
and providing for the dismissal of the
Englishman formerly filing the posi-
ton of Chief Commissioner of Customs,
it proceeds: "The friendly relations
between the two countries are such
that il is not necessary to decide the
limit of the duration of this agreement,
therefore it holds good indefinitely. But

people one whose financial ability is
competent to fill the chief adviser
