The Queens Choice.

Great amusement was caused by the
recital of an incident which occurred
after her majesty's accession to the
throne. A grand dinner party was be-
ing given at Buckingham Palace. The
probable husband the Queen might Sc
lect was then matter of much interest
and speculation. Lord Melbourne, as
Prime Minister, felt the matter to be
one in which he was entitled to OBJ
tain information if possible. So he
inquired of the Queen, as neatly as he
could, whether there was any Individ-
ual for whom she entertained a prefer
ence Her majesty was little taken
aback and inquired whether he put the
question as a matter of state policy.
If so. she would endeavor to give him
an answer. Lord Melbourne replied
that he did, and that under no other
circumstances would he have ventured
to intrude in so delicate a matter.
Then" said the Queen, there is one
person for whom / entertain a decided
preference" ''Yes?" said Lord Mel
bourne, expecting to hear a great se-
cret "And that is-that is" said the
Queen. "the Duke of Wellingtonl'' The
venerable hero of Waterloo was past
his 10th year, and the story used to
be retailed by Lord Melbourne at his

Ex-CoLLECTOR WELBURN.
Damaging Testimony Brought Out
at the Preliminary Hearing.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-Ex-Col-
Iector of Internal Revenue Q. NJ. Wei
burn appeared before United States
Commissioner Heacock to-day for pre-
1iminary examination upon the charge
of embezzlement preferred against him
by Special Agent Thrasher. The tes-
timony proved to be unusually sem
sational. and disclosed a state of affairs
wholly unexpected by Welburn
friends.
1t was shown by w. H. billiard, the
colored messenger employed in Wei
burns office, that at the instance of
his employer he had signed the name Of
e c. Aiken to the salary checks for
each month from September last un-
til March of this year. These sigma
lures were modelled upon genuine sig
natures furnished by Welburn. Chief
Deputy Louis Loupe had subsequently
acknowledged each signature under
oath.
Aiken swore that he only received S25
per month for his services, although he
was on the payroll for $1,000 per an
mum, and that he had not authorized
anyone to use his signature. Owing to
the illness of LOupe, a continuance was
granted until Tuesday next.

Belief Gaining Ground That II Was a Case
of Suicide.
Very Damaging Testimony Brought
Out Against Accused in the
Preliminary Examination of
Ex-Col1ector WeIburn for Ir-
Irregularities IN the Internal
Revenue Office at San Fran
cisco.

SAN JOSE, July 10. - J. z. Pruett
shot and killed himself this morning
1t was generally reported accidental,
but the new belief is gaining ground
that il was suicide.
He was native of California, "A
years old, and leaves a widow and two
children.
He told his family he was going to
clean his rifle and go to the mountains
on a hunt to-day He went to the cell
lar, and few minutes later shot
was heard.
The body was found on the floor with
the right side of the head blown off,
and the rifle was lying near with only
one exploded cartridge in it. On pile
of grain sacks near by lay a number
of cartridges.
Pruett had been Deputy Assessor and
Collector for a number of years under
Assessor Splitter. He had made no set
tlement of this years work, and his
books are not in the Office and have
not yet been found, but are supposed
to be about his residence. He told
Splitter Friday he would settle up this
morning. Splitter now says he owes
the office, so far as known, S3OO or
S400. but his affairs are in confusion,
and the definite condition will not be
known until the books are exported.
The deceased was a member of the
real estate firm of Swigert & Pruett
and was widely known Within the
last few days he had allowed his MEM
lDership in the Workmen to lapse py

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.
MEETING WITH GREAT FAVOR
IN THE EAST.
Peaches Grown in This State on a
Par With the Product of Della
ware and New Jersey.

NEW YORK, July 19-The Times"
will say tomorrow in a leading edi-
torial: Our market for the past few
days attested the final triumph of the
California fruit growers. Eastern
skeptics who maintained for a long
time that no good thing to eat could
come out of the Pacific Nazareth have
been driven from one position after an
other. They have been forced to admit
successfully that the oranges and the
grapes and the cherries of California
We're good to eat.
And they have retreated into their
last fastness, the position that at all
events the California fruit grower
could not produce peaches that had any
flavor. Now this citadel has also been
carried. Peaches that We're so much
larger and handsomer than those of
nature, but which were made of wood
pulp, have not this season appeared at
ALL They have been replaced by peach
es much smaller and less oppressive to
the eye, but most agreeable to the nos
trils and the palate They smell like
peaches-they taste like peaches. It is
impossible any longer to deny that they
are peaches.
We congratulate the California grow
ers upon the production of a fruit that
is not easily distinguishable from the
common product of Delaware and New
Jersey. Thus far California has not
sent us anything that rivals in flavor
the choice specimens and varieties of
Eastern orchards. 1t is very possible
that that is in store for u.s. In the
meantime the peaches we are now get
ting are undoubtedly fit to eat.
1t is noteworthy that success has
been attained at the cost of the pictorial
quality of the fruit, for California
peaches of 1897 are by no means as
handsome or over-grown as their pre-
decessors and are not to be easily dis
tinguishable from the Eastern fruit by
their appearance California growers
long ago mastered the difficulties of
transportation and distribution in a
manner very exemplary for Eastern
growers. To lay down so very per-
ishable fruit as peaches in an edible
condition acrSss the continent from the
place Of it's origin is a new triumph
The question arises if peaches can be
carried across the continent, why can't
they be carried across the ocean? That
has heretofore been given up as i'm
possible. 1t is doubtless a fact that
the Atlantic a fresh peach that was

RUSSIA THREATENS INVASION.
DEMANDS IMMEDIATE EVACU-
ALTON OF THESSALY.
If the Sultan Refuses to Comply
Her Troops Will Gross the
Turkish Frontier.

BERLIN, July 10. - According to a
special dispatch received here, the En-
peror Nicholas has telegraphed the Sui
tan, demanding immediate evacuation
of ThessaIy, and threatening that 9TH
erwise Russian troops will cross the
Turkish frontier
1t is said here semi officially to-day
that all the Powers except Great Brit
ain have consented to this course
The ambassadors have informed the
Porte that they wish a written decla-
ration as to the intentions of the Turk
ish Government, which have hitherto
been communicated orally by Tewfik
Pasha. The ambassadors have stated
if this is not forthcoming they viii sus-
pend the peace negotiations and refer
the whole matter to their respective
Governments with a view to adopting
coercive measures.
At Saturdays sitting of the peace
conference Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish
Minister of Foreign Affairs, arrived
late
He submitted to the conference a new
frontier scheme which was unaccept-
able to the Powers, and the Embassa-
doris thereupon informed Tewfik that
the conference would adjourn until he
brought a written acceptance from his
Government of the frontier traced by
the military attaches.
1t was arranged that the Turkish
Military Commission should meet the
European military attaches at 8 o'clock
Saturday morning at Tophane, but the
Turks failed to keep me appointment
| The ambassadors assembled at 10
| o'clock, but finding that Tewfik Pasha
| did not come adjourned to the Austrian
| Embassy, where Tewfik Pasha present
| ed himself at noon, with the excuse that
| the Sultan had detained him and the
| Military Commission at the Yildiz XII
| OSk.
| Tewfik explained that the Sultan had
appointed Marshal Zekki Pasha and
! Saadted-Dig Pasha as new military
delegates to negotiate peace.
The ambassadors unanimously and
positively declined to discuss the ques-
ton with anybody except Tewfik Pasha.
Although the orders recently issued
have been countermanded, $1,000 troops
are still in readiness to start for the
island of Crete at the shortest notice.
! Djvad Pasha, whom the Sultan or
| dered to proceed to Crete as a Turk
ish emissary, has now been ordered to
postpone his departure. 1t is n derstood
that the Powers threatened to resist
| his landing by force.
The terms of the Turkish Govern
ment, as submitted to the Embassa-
dors by Tewfik Pasha on Saturday, not
only proposed a change of frontier, but
| fixed the amount of indemnity at four
| and one-half million pounds, Turkish,
and renewed the demand for abolition
| of the capitulations granted Greek
subjects in the Ottoman Empire. This
| is regarded as clear proof that the En-
| bassies Of the Powers will be unable
! TO effect anything by merely diplo-
| matte negotiations.

TRAGEDY IN FRESNO COUNTY.
Rancher Assaulted by Two Neigh
bors and Fatally Injured.

FRESNO, July 19.-W. P Hedrick
and his son, E. w Hedrick of Squaw
Valley this county, We're lodged in jail
to-day on a charge of murder. The
victim of their assault, H. H BARN,
is still alive, but it is believed that his
injuries will prove fatal.
The parties are all residents of Squaw
alley, and trouble has existed between
them for some time in regard to stock.
Barin warned the Hedricks to keep off
his ranch, but on Sunday evening they
put in an appearance and renewed the
quarrel. BARN was out looking after
his hogs. and was carrying his rife
with him. A Mrs. Belts, who lives
at the BARN place, was present.
After quarreling a While BARN start
ed to go to his house. and Mrs. Belts
took the gun he was carrying. No
sooner had she done so than the elder
Hedrick assaulted BARN with knife
cutting him three or four times. BARN
grappled him and threw him to the
ground. and while in this position the
younger Hedrick wrested the rifle from
the woman and struck BARN a savage
blow across the back, breaking three
ribs and infiicting a probably fatal in
jury. Barin's knife wounds are not
serious.

THE ANGUS-CRAVEN CASE.
The Defendant Again Placed on
the Witness Stand.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-When
the trial of the Angus Craven case was
resumed before Judge Slack to-day, Mrs
Nettie Craven was requested by At
tcrney Wheeler to write certain words
at his dictation in pencil upon the mar
gin of a contract similar to that already
in evidence, and then attempted to try
the experiment again with softer pen
Gil and in a smaller hand. but the court
sustained the objections of her counsel
to this method of procedure, ana she
escaped this trying ordeal
This crafty piece of evidence was Sc
cured for the purpose of rebutting Mrs.
Craven's statement that she did not
write the pencil words on the margin
of the contract which Aitken refused TO
sign: and once admitted in evidence. 1t
was promptly exhibited to the jurors, to-
gether with the original contract.

BRoADMooR CASINO BURNED.
Famous Pleasure Resort at Colo
rado Springs Goes Up in Smoke.

COLORADO SPRINGS (CoI), July
l9.-The famous Broadmoor Casino,
the 100000 pleasure resort Of Colorado
Springs, was burned to the ground this
morning. Flames We're discovered
about o'clock in the boiler-room and
in about one hour the site formerly oc-
cupied by one of the handsomest build
ings devoted exclusively to pleasure in
the West was covered only with a
mass of ruins.
There was no water available and in
ten minutes after the flames were dis
covered all hopes of saving the struct-
ure were given up and efforts directed
towards saving the Hotel Broadmoor
adjoining. This was saved through the
timely assistance of the United States
soldiers camped at Broadmoor.
The loss will be 100000 to the
Broadmoor Land and Improvement
Company, and $4,000 to Happier &
Miller, the Denver lessees. There is
scarcely any Insurance. 1t is doubtful
if the resort will be rebuilt.

fears are entertained that the damage
will be immense, as the fire will sweep
the entire western portion of the
county.
The damaging forest and field fires of
the past few days are supposed to be of
incendiary origin, and residents from the
burned district are in consultation with
the Sheriff and the District Attorney
regarding the mysterious blazes. 1t is
said that several arrests will be made

1t is reported tonight that fires are
raging in two other parts of the county.
No further news has been received of
the original fire, which is not yet under
control. The strong north wind of the
past two days is subsiding, and the
prospects of checking the fires are good.

PACIFIC RAILWAY DEBTS.
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION IN
THE SENATE.
Morgan Speaks in Favor of and
Thurston and Stewart Against
the Harris Resolution.

WASHINGTON, July 19-TO-day in
the Senate was principally devoted to a
discussion of Harris resolution relat-
ing to the Union Pacific Railroad. Nor
gan of Alabama concluded his remarks
in favor of the resolution and Stewart
spoke in opposition to it. Thurston of
Nebraska was speaking in opposition
when the Senate went into executive
session, and shortly thereafter ad-
journed.
The Senate, after assembling, went
into executive session for over two
hours, and on reopening the doors, the
conference report on the general de-
f1ciency bill was agreed to.
The Harris resolution in regard to
the Union Pacific Railway was taken
up and Morgan OemocraD of Alabama
continued his speech on the subject.
He read a letter from a correspondent
saying that in the manipulations of the
stock the large shareholders have been
promoted while smaller holders had
been frozen out. This was about to be
done again. He hoped the President
would defer action, in order to enable
Congress to look into the matter.
Harris of Kansas hoped a vote would
soon be had.
Thurston gave notice of his intention
to discuss the subject in the future.
Stewart of Nevada then took the floor
and reviewed the history of the con-
struction of the road, contending that
it was a patriotic effort, and not
scheme to rob the Government.
Harris, in refutation of this. called
attention to President Cleveland s
structures upon the Union Pacific man
agement in his message January IS,
1883.
Stewart said he did not wish to exon
crate the company from payment of
lust dues to the Government, but OBJ
jected to their being regarded as Grim
inals. He desired to have the whole
matter closed. The resolution under
consideration would accomplish no pur
pose.
Thurston of Nebraska spoke in op-
position to the resolution. He con-
tended that the Government had al
ready risked enough money in the in
vestment: that without exchanging and
other further expenditure. it should
proceed in the ordinary legal methods
through the courts of the country to
enforce its legal rights, whatever they
might be. and to secure repayment of
all its dues on whatever property the
courts shall find are justly subject
thereto. The proposition before the
Senate, he said, stripped of all techni-
calities, was simply to invest another
SO 3t.000,000 and take the chance of get
ting it back on the ultimate sale of the
road
At , O'Clock an executive session was
held. and then adjournment was had.

serted it.
When he repudiated the Cleveland
heresy," and announced the doctrine
that "all taxes should be levied for rev.
enue," the Democrats in sympathy
with him cheered Justify.
McMillin, who had twenty minutes,
consumed this time in denouncing the
sugar schedule, which he said had add
ed 81, 1000, 900 to the price of sugar GER
tificates to-day, and in replying to
Bailey's remarks about his record. Any
statement from any quarter that he
had ever advocated a duty on wool, Nc
Millin declared, was unjust to him and
incorrect. He had been consistent
Payne and Dingley successfully took
the floor for some closing remarks. The
former devoted his time to a reference
to the sugar schedule. He figured out
a differential in favor of the refiner in
the present law at the price prevailing
in 1893 of o412 cents per 100 pounds
Taking SwansOn's Illustration of the
" degrees sugars, Payne figured on
the basis of the amount of raw sugar
refined Ol412 pounds) that the refiner
under the present law had differen-
tial of .314 per 100 pounds against 173
of differential in the proposed schedule
Dingley openly avowed that the
schedule gave a slight additional pro-
teton to refined sugar about the same
time it raised raw all along the line.
Trusts, he said could not be eradicated
by epithets.
THE way to break down the trusts"
he cried, lis to establish a beet sugar
factory in every Congressional District
in the country and make competition.
That is the way to clip the wings of the
trusts"
Amid a storm of cheers Dingley then
demanded the previous question on the
adoption of the conference report. The
demand was sustained by a viva voce
vote. and the vote on the adoption of
the report followed by yeas and nays.
Considerable excitement occurred
While the vote was being taken. When
the Speaker announced the vote as 1S5
ayes and 11S nays the Republicans
broke into loud cheers.
The House then, at 1911 a. M, took
a recess until Wednesday,
