LUETGERT VERY ANGRY.
Quarrels With His Counsel, Ex-
Judge Vincent

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-There is a strong
probability that ex-Judge Vincent will
not appear as counsel for Adolph L.
Luetgert in his second trial. which is
scheduled for next week. Luetgert
sent for ex-Assistant States Attorney
Ramsay to-day to consult with him
relative to taking charge of the new
trial.
Ex-Judge Vincent urged Luetgert to
agree to reasonable continuance of
the case, but he was obdurate. Mr..
Vincent then told Luetgert that he had
neglected his own business for three
months to try the case, and he now
proposed to have a little time for him
self. This made Luetgert very angry.
At o'clock this afternoon Luetgert
appeared before Judge Chetlain with
Attorney Phalen, and had his case con-
tinued to the next term of court on his
motion. States Attorney Deneen was
present. Previous to the continuance it
had been positively agreed by counsel
that Luetgert's second trial should be-
gin on November Sth, and Luetgert
wanted this understood.

MAMMOTH TANK FIGHT.
Eleven of the Ringleaders Landed
in Jail at San Diego.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2S-Eleven Mexi-
cans, who are thought to be the ring
leaders in the Mammoth Tank fight,
We're landed in Jail here tonight.
The nearest San Diego County officer
at the time the fight occurred was Con-
stable Burke of Hedges, fifty miles
away. He was summoned and ordered
to arrest the ringleaders, and with his
deputy, Presciado, went to Mammoth
Tank station Arriving there, Burke
deputized Constable Jones Of Yuma to
assist in rounding up the Mexicans,
stationing him on the railroad track
three miles east of the station, with
orders to let no man pass.
Jones had not been at his post long
when a murderer, much wanted by Ar
iona officials. Jose Rodriguez. came
along the track. Rodriguez had had no
part in the fight at Mammoth Tank,
and Constable Jones knew 1T. He wait
ed for the murderer to approach, and
the latter, suspecting nothing, walked
into his arms. Constable Jones took his
prisoner to Mammoth Tank, where the
other officers had in the meantime cor
raled eighteen of the rioters. They
were placed in a box car and taken to
Los Angeles, en- route to this city.
The murderer Rodriguez was left in
Jail at Los Angeles.

THE PULLMAN WILL.
Wife and Sons of Deceased Say
There Will be No Contest.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-There is to be no
contest of the Pullman will, so both
sons of the dead palace car magnate de-
clared to-day.
Said George NJ. Pullman: "The idea
of wishing to contest my fathers will
never entered my head, nor my brothers
head either. No steps have been taken,
and none will be taken to break the will.
My relations with the Pullman Palace
Car Company and with my family are
most cordial. l am in the company in
the capacity of an Assistant Superin-
tendent, and expect to remain with the
company"
Referring to the gossip that coupled
his name with that of Miss Felicite
Oglesby in the character of rejected
lover, Mr.. Pullman said: "Our relations
are exactly the same as they have al
ways been. SO far as my brother San
gers engagement is concerned, that is
an affair that concerns him. I do not
choose to interfere in his business.
Friends of Miss Lynne Fernald say
the engagement between that young
lady and Sanger Pullman has been
broken off.
In terms as explicit as those employed
by his brother, Sanger Pullman contra
dicted the rumor that his fathers will
was to be attacked in the courts. An
authoritative denial of the same rumor
was also made by Mrs. Pullman.
Gustav Behring, the young man who
was arrested While prowling around the
Pullman residence, and who claims that
he is a son of the late George M. Pull
man was examined bV an insanity eX-
pert to-day, who pronounced the man
sane. He was accordingly discharged
from custody. Behring declared that he
would push his claim against the estate
of the dead millionaire.

Bond of the Assignee of Bank
rnnt Furniture Company Stolen.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 2S.-The
County Clerks vault has again been
robbed. The $4,000 bond of ]. c.
Hughes, assignee Of the bankrupt San
Francisco Furniture Company, with F.

that he has no doubt that it has been
stolen. Some time prior to its disap-
pea,ance, however, one of the attor-
neys in the case took the precaution
to have a certified copy of the bond
made.
The affairs of the concern, for the
proper management of whose business
the bond was given, are in such a
state that Judge Slack described them
as chaotic" A referee has been ap-
pointed, and weeks have been spent in
striving to unravel the confusion and
discover what has been done with the
assets of the insolvent company, but
thus far without success.

SENATOR MORGAN.
His Physicians Say He Is on the
Road to Permanent Recovery.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. Ex-senator Nor
gan is slowly regaining his strength.
DR.. P. J. Parker, who has been at
tending the Senator since the latter ar
rived here Monday. made the follow
ing statement at 6 o'clock this even
ing:
Senator Morgan has been free from
fever for over thirty-six hours. He is
recovering, but must remain quiet for
some days yet. / do not think he will
be able to travel for a week, and per-
haps rot then. There is no word Of
truth in the reports that he has any
symptoms of apoplexy. His trouble is
due to the injury upon the knee which
occurred while he was in Hawaii it
took on form of erysipelas. He was
very sick man, however, when he
arrived here Monday. He was delir-
ious, and his temperature was 1O415
As soon as the fever was reduced his
mind became as clear as it ever was,
and has remained SO since.''
Dr. Parker added that he was con-
f1dent that Senator Morgan was on the
road to permanent recovery.

TOOK POISON.
A San Francisco Insurance Agent
Commits Suicide.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 2S.-Ray-
mond A. Diver, an insurance agent,
drained a goblet of cyanide of potassi-
um last night in a vacant room of the
building at 415 Montgomery street. he
was found at 11:30 a. m to-day by c.
c. Darling and r. K. Allen, occupants
of the building.
Diver had been connected for the past
few months with the Mutual Benefit
Life Association, whose office is room /,
at 415 Montgomery street. He was So
licitor and had a key to the front door
of the building, which is locked at
night.
Since his connection with the Mutual
Life Association he has done no busi-
ness. James Munsell, Jr., manager OF
the company, has been very kind to
him and advanced him on occasions
considerable sums of money.
Although Diver had been in the insur-
ance business many years he seemed to
have lost his grip on things. He worked
hard, but failed in every affair.
He had been very melancholy since
the demise of his wife in July, 1S9O.
His business failure increased his de-
spondency, and determined him to COM
nit suicide. Last night he admitted
himself to the building by his pass
KEY. went to the office of Mr.. Munsell,
picked up a worn rug, carried 1t to an
empty, untenanted room next to Mr.
MunselFs office and spread 1T on the
floor in a corner. He then took off MS
shoes and coat, unbuttoned his Vest'
rolled UP his coat and placed it to serve
as a pillow. He laid two pistols. one
a modern revolver, the other an olH-
fashioned, four -barreled gun, at ms
side. poured into a glass the conteius
of a bottle of cyanide of potassium ana
drained it dry.
When Deputy Coroner Mccormick
entered the room this morning the
dead man was lying on his stomach
with his face buried in his arms. The
deputy turned the body over until II
Law on its back. The features were
swollen, distorted and livid from the
fiery but deadly cyanide OF potas-
cium.

THE EXCELSIOR ARRIVES.
Confirms the Reports of Shortage
of Provisions in the KIondike.

SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 2S.-The
Alaska Commercial Company's steamer
Excelsior. Captain Higgins, arrived to-
night. fourteen days from st. Michaels
and eight and a half days from Una
laska the only intermediate port at
which she stopped She brought 5000
ounces of gold, all belonging to the
Alaska Commercial Company. No min
ers came down on her She carried
three passengers, Mr.. and Mrs. Ducos,
who started some time since for DaW-
son City, but got no further than St
Michaels, and Edward Hamilton, the
Journalist.
There has been no recent communica-
ton with Dawson City, the Yukon be-
ing impossible, but the latest informa-
ton received from Fort Yukon, which
now constitutes the base of supplies for
the places further north is to the effect,
that the people are swarming out of
Dawson and Circle City by every pos
sible means, to escape suffering and
possible starvation.
Small boats can still be used on por-
tions of the Yukon, and in one of these
an agent of the Alaska Commercial
Company came down from Circle City
to Fort Yukon. He confirms the re-
port of q great scarcity of provisions at
all the mining camps. Those who sue
ceedad in getting out in time will be
very fortunate. for hunger will surely
be the fate of the winter dwellerS on
the Klondike. The rush to escape from
the gold fields exceeds the influx, and
the indications are that large colony
will winter at Fort Yukon.
Captain Higgins of the Excelsior con-
firms the news of the probable loss of
a portion of the whaling fleet, but can
add no details to those brought down
by the Thrasher. He also tells of the
rescue of the men of the Navarch from
an ice foe, but says that there were
sixteen saved, and not fourteen, as at
first reported.
It is not expected that much if any
more gold win come down this sea-
son, unless some of the miners sue
ceed in reaching sailing points by land
routes from the interior. Sam Wall
and some other newspaper correspond
ents got as far as Circle City, eighty
miles from Dawson, but were obliged
to retrace their way to Fort Yukon,
where food is obtainable. They may
remain there until spring, but it is
more than likely that if the oppor-
ST Michaels and return home to re-
cupeTate for fresh start next year.
Captain Higgins says it is worse
than folly for any one to go to Alaska
now. tt8e1

BEKRING SEA DISPUTE.
MAY BE a COMPLETE CHANGE
IN THE SEAL QUESTION.
Belief That the United States, Rus
sia and Japan Have Come to
An Understanding.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-In reliable
quarters it said that the conference be-
tween Russia, Japan and the United
States, now proceeding here in refer
ence to scaling in the Behring Sea and
the North Pacific, has advanced to an
important stage, and that a PROPOSE
tion has been reduced to writing, which
if accepted will bring about a complete
change in the sealing question. The
proposition is said to be acceptable to
the United States and Russia, and ia
pan will probably indorse it, too.
The greatest secrecy is preserved in
all official circles as to the nature of
the proposition, and it is not officially
admitted that any proposition has been
made. From reliable sources it is un-
derstood that the proposition has a
far-reaching scope, and provides for
the material limitation or entire sus-
pension Of pelagic sealing or sealing on
the high sea. Such decisive step, if
agreed to by Russia, Japan and the
United States, would if understood,
not involve any concerted move to men
ace the claims of Great Britain and
Canada to the right of pelagic sealing
on the high seas, but would rather be
a proposition expressive of the cOnclu-
sions of the three most interested pow
ers, that in the interests of humanity
and the preservation of the seal herds
of their respective Government, all ma
tions, including Great Britain and her
colony, Canada, should unite with Rus
sia, the United States and Japan in
such effective prevention of pelagic seal
ing on the high seas as will put an end
to it, and thereby secure the preserva-
ton of the seals.
Tn last Act of Parliament carried the
modus up to September 31st next. 1t
was clearly the desire of the Russian
delegates to secure the largest possible
protection for her fur seals, and this
established throughout the delfbera-
tions a close cooperation between the
United States and Russia. AS to ia
pan, it was not so clear that her in
terests were for further restrictions on
pelagic sealing. On the contrary, one
of the japanese delegates made it clear
that Japan had more interest in catch
ing seals than in preserving them The
conferrees being agreed, it only re-
manned to hear from the respective
Governments they represented.
An adjournment was taken until next
Monday, by which time it is not doubt
ed the Governments at St Petersburg
and Toxic will have taken final action
on the proposition
Throughout the deliberations there
was no evidence of a desire to make an
issue with Great Britain, or to take
any action offensive in character or
likely to summarily abridge her rights
It was recognized by the conferrees that
as the high seas were governed by the
well-established rules of international
law. no sten should be taken in limiting
pelagic sealing on the high seas, without
endeavoring to secure the cooperation
of all parties concerned, particularly
Great Britain.

REDWOOD CITY, Oct. 2S.-The only
thing that prevented lynching mere
tonight was the absence of the intend
ed victim. who had been spirited away
10 San Jose late this afternoon.
For two days Sheriff McEvoy has
been lowering between life and death
as a result Of the wound received on
Tuesday from Thomas Flannelly, whom
he was trying to arrest for the murder
of his father, Patrick F'lannelly. Sher-
iff McEvoy sank steadily from early
this morning, and as soon as it became
apparent that he would not recover,
there was intense excitement through
out the community and threats of
lynching the prisoner were heard on
every side.
An angry mob surrounded the jail,
an ancient and insecure building. Fear
ing an outbreak at any moment, and a
raid on the Jail, it was deemed wise,
as precautionary measure, to remove
the prisoner to the jail at San Jose. To
divert the attention Of the mob, which
threatened to break into the jail,
false alarm of fire was turned in. This
drew the crowd to another part or
town. and Flannelly was hastily bum
fHGQ INTO a NdSOll anu dA4NCh ~ A0eNAA
Jose. The pace was rapid, and at May
field Under Sheriff Mansfield desired to
procure a relay, but fresh horses were
refused by the residents, none Of whom
possessed any sympathy with the pris-
oner.

discovered that they had been defraud-
ed of their intended victim.

SAFE IN JAIL AT SAN JOSE.
SAN JOSE, Oct. 2S.-Thomas F'lan-
nelly, the Redwood City murderer, is
safely lodged in the County Jail in this
city He was brought here at 6:30
o'clock tonight by Deputy Sheriff Fred
Desirello and B. A Rankin of Redwood
City. the journey being made by unfre-
quented roads, so as to elude pursuers
in case an attempt was made to fol-
low them.
While on the road Desirello asked the
prisoner if he did not think it was a
good plan to get him out of Redwood
City, and the reply was: 'Yes, / guess
it would be rather unhealthy for me
there"
Flannelly is suffering great pain
from his wounds, but was able to walk
TO his cell with a little assistance from
the officers. He refused TO talk to re-
porters but to Desirello he told a f1imsy
story to the effect that he thought the
officers who came after him were rob-
bers who had come after SO that he
had in his possession. He expressed
an opinion that Sheriff McEvoy had
only received a flesh wound, and would
soon recover. He has not yet been in
formed that McEvoy is dead.
Sheriff McFvoy was well known and
highly esteemed here, but while his
many friends deeply deplore his loss,
there is no talk of lynching the pris-
oner.
