si!Io, Sonora, wired to the Evening Sun
to-day as follows:
HERMosILLo, " exico, Nov. 8.
Captain Porter and a sailor named Johnson
OF the Junk World OF San Diego were killed.
about October 27, by the Seris Indians on
Tiburon Island. They left the junk to kill
birds and on their return found the boat in
charge Of Indians. The white men fired
twelve shots before they were killed. The
sloop Juliette brought the news. The infor-
nation is reliable.
Captain George Porter left here on the
schooner World almost a year ago to
make long cruise along the Mexican
coast, and especially in the Gul O. Cali
fornia. He was a gatherer Of turios and
shells and was part owner of the World
shellsto"e in this city. His partner, Miss
Cook, was not inclined TO believe the dis
patch, as she had received a letter from
Captain Porter saying that he would not
go near TIbuIo1. as the island was barren
and he did not care TO take chances
against the Indians with only one com
panion. In order to verify the story, if
possible, Miss Cook wired to the Ameri-
can Consul at Guaymas and received the
following dispatch this evening":
''Such a rumor in circulation. Will OBJ
tain facts and send by mail"
Captain Porter had lived in San Diego
about twelve years, and during all that
time was in the shell and fishing business.
He was we'll acquainted with the Mexican
coast and we'll aware OF the dangerous
character of the Serls Indians, who in
habit Tiburon Island. Some weeks ago
he was at Guaymas with his little schooner.
and was seen by Captain Lew B. Harris
Of the schooner Emma and Louisa of this
city. He told Captain Harris that he was
about to take another little run up the
gulf. and would soon return to San Diego
with rich cargo of curios, shells, birds
eggs, etc.
Miss Cook said the last consignment OF
shells from Captain Porter came last Au-
gust and no word since then had been re-
ceived. She expected that he would soon
return from the south.
Captain Porter was 80 years of age and
unmarried. He leaves a mother and sis.
ter residing at Cleveland, Ohio. John
Johnson. his assistant on the schooner
was a well-known waterfront character.
He had been sailor all his lie. 1t was
because he spoke Spanish huently that he
was engaged to go south on the World

while on his recent cruise and learned
much about the Indians by his own OBJ.
servation and by conversation with Mex
leans, said:
"if the bodies of Captain Porter and
Johnson were not recovered at once there
is little doubt that they will have been
eaten by the savages on Tiburon. The
Mexicans insist that those Indians are
cannibals. and tell of reoule who have lost
their lives and whose bodies have never
been recovered. the Indians are full of a
malignant cunning, and it would be one OF

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Passed As

at Mare Island on charge of absence
from duty without leave and scandalous

INFLAM MATORY TALK.
Chairman of a Labor COnven-
tiOn Advises Strikers to
Carry Guns.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-A three days ses-
sion of the labor convention ended
yesterday afternoon in a climax of in
cendiary speeches. E. NJ. Bannister of
ST. Louis, chairman of the convention
resigned the gavel to introduce a reso-
luton advising strikers in general to
arm themselves for resistance when
necessary. B. r. Credon, of Iaho, was
one of the most radical speakers. He
said:
THE time has come for radical
measures. If we adopt this resolution
it will make the st. Louis convention
the largest gathering of workingmen in
the history of the world. Every ad-
vance of the human race has been
gained with guns, aand we must use
them. This is the best thing that has
been introduced into the convention. 1t
is what my people expect"
Q. J. Mccarthy of Chicago. opposed
a resolution as a matter of policy on
the ground that it was well not to
warn the public of their intentions. He
said:
General Miles has already asked
that the army be increased to 225, 900
men and we don't want to give these
people any warning before we get at
them or that recommendation will be
followed 1t is poor policy to discuss
this in open convention because we can
never get at the capitalists if VIE allow
them to prepare We must catch them
before they are ready"
E. M. Bannister in speaking in de-
Tense of his resolution said it was
right, arms should be met with arms
This convention, he declared would new
er been called had it not been for the
Hazleton murders and some action
must be taken. A motion to lay the
matter on the table was carried after
McCarthy's speech about it's being poor
policy.
The western delegates secured a free
silver amendment to the platform They
said they were empowered to announce
if it were not passed, not a cent more
of money would come out of the west to
assist the eastern men in strikes and
other troubles.

California Needs No Exhibit at Nash
vile, Says the Governor.

Governor Budd does not believe in
advertising California products in a
sister State, particularly when $4,000
is asked for the purpose. He yesterday
vetoed Flint's bill providing for an eX-
hibit at the Nashville (Tenn) Centen-
nial, and gave the following reasons
for his action:
To the Honorable Senate Of the State
OF California-Gentlem [ return
herewith S B. 13S without my approval
and with my objections thereto
| seriously doubt the advisability of
expenditures of the character contem-
plated by this bill Exhibitions of a
similar nature to the Nashville Centen-
nial Exposition are held with compar-
ative frequency within the United
States, ana while their purpose is laud-
able, and their maintenance advanta-
geous, a State appropriation to main
tain an exhibition at each of them
would result in a great aggregate ex-
penditure without a resulting general
benefit
l have but recently approved of an
appropriation for the maintenance of
an exhibition at Guatemala, but the
cases are not parallel. Guatemala is a
foreign country, new and in process of
rapid development. Her markets are
in a receptive condition, ready to be
appropriated by the most enterprsing
foreign countries. Our country is rich
in the products which her people con-
sumo; her markets are convenient to
our shores, and | believe it advisable
that this state should eXpend a limited
sum in the development of a market so
convenient of access and so rich in its
promise. The Nashville Exposition.
upon the contrary, is within the bor-
ders Of a sister State, already familiar
with our products and a purchaser of
our commodities That the consump-
ton Of the products of our soil and
their sale may be promoted by this and
similar exhibitions | do not denv. but
when we consider the frequency with
which such exhibitions are held. that
they are conducted by our own people
within the confines of our own country.
and that to appropriate money to ex-
hibit at one, would establish a prece-
dent for an appropriation for all, L feel
constrained to withhold my consent to
this bill.
We have heretofore appropriated
$500, 900 for an exhibition of our
various products and resources at Chi
cago and $4,000 for an exhibition at
New Orleans These exhibitions were
international and the conditions sur
rounding them We're such as justified
the expenditure. They resulted in ad-
yertising our resources within the linn
its Of the United States to an extent
which renders unnecessary the enact
ment of s. B. 13S. The proposed exhi-
bition at Nashville lacks the features
which distinguished those at Chicago
and New Orleans.
In view of the great expenses which
appropriation similar TO the one con-
templated by this bill might ultimately
errtail 1 am convinced that the general
welfare VIII be best subserved by leav-
ing to private enterprise the develop
ment of our domestic markets.

Reasons Why Cities Shall Not Erec

why his signature had been withheld:

tiles of the class therein designated,
adds to Section 3 the following words.

works and electric plants and all ma
ohinery, conductors and appliances ne
cessary therefor and to supply such
city with and to sell 10 the inhabitants
thereof water, light, heat and power.
ETC." thus giving 70 the Board of Trus-
tees Of such city greatly increased pow
ers.
very seriously doubt the advisabiIity
of conferring upon Boards Of Trustees
the power. etc, Ito purchase lease or
construct water works and electric
plants. and all machinery. conductors
and appliances necessary therefor" un-
less the proposition to So purchase,
lease or construct be submitted to the
legal voters Of such city at either gen
eral or special election. and their APP
proval Of such proposition be given 10y

1t will be recognized that while this
power is in some cases limited by the
Constitution and by other sections OF
