WOO DEATH AND WIN.
With Rope and Pistol Two Men End
the Struggle Against Adverse
EorfU0o

FRESNO, CAL, March 22-The body of
George Ramsey, a vineyardist residing in
Kutner Colony, about twelve miles east of
this city, was found yesterday suspended
by o rope from rafter in the barn stand
there for two weeks.
Ramsey was about so years of age. He
lived with Chris Wolf. who says that his
fellow-viney ardist had often spoken of
suicide. Two weeks ago Ramsey disap-
peared and search had been kept up
ever since. No trace of him could be
found, and no one thought of looking
into the barn lott. The disappearance as
sumed a mysterious aspect, and there
we're suspicious of foul play. Wolf, under
a promise he had given Ramsey, did not
saw anything about his suicidal tenden-
cies.
The coroner's jury was convinc ced that
the case was one OF suicide andrendered
verdict accordingly. Ramsey was born in
Iowa and had resided ill this county for
many years.
This evening a man was found dead in
q room in the Degen lodging -house in this
city. A pistol lying at the side of the
body told the tale. All OF its cham bers
were empty excepting one and the bullet
from TINS DaQ Deen sent through MS pralh
On his person was found q written state
menr, signed ~. Wodder." saying that "a
terrible suicidal mania had possessed
him for years. It was Irresistible and
uncomfortable" In the statement it was
also directed that $32, which was found in
an envelope, be used in defraying the
burial expenses. In a valise were found
letters directed to '.Neil Blue, 529 Sacra-
mento street, San Francisco from Dr.. II.
H. Kane of New York, it appearing that
Blue had taken treatment from the doc
tor.

SEE YUPS At WASHiNGTON.
Scene From 1.-The Mkado" as They Pre-.
sent Their Grievances to the
Chinese Minister

Chinese Minister.
WASHINGTON d. c., March 22-There
was an interesting and quite dramatic
scene enacted at the Chinese legation to-
day when the party of Chinese merchants
from San Francisco had an audience with
his Exeellency, Yang Yu, the Chinese
Minister, and laid their grievances before
him.
The heathens were arrayed in their silk
brocaded robes, and the Minister and his
suite were dressed in their best to meet
the millionaire Chinese of the See Yup
Company. When the Minister and his
retinue entered the Chinese merchants
fell on their knees, and remained kneeling
before his Excellency during most of the
interview. 1t was as impressive as
scene from "The Mikado."
Messrs. Campbell ana Keogh, counsel
for the See Yups, were spared this humiI-
iation. They were not present at the in
terview. The argument of the See Yups
was made by Chan Man Wan. At the
conclusion OF his statement the Minister
announced his understanding OF the
propositions to be considered by him TO
be as follows:
First-A dissolution of the American corpora
ton of See Yups.
Secondary ment to the Minister of 4 certain
amount of money tor expenses in connection
with the whole matter.
Third-Dlsm,ssal OF the injunction granted
by Judge McKenna against the Chinese Con-
sui at San Francisco to prevent him from In
terferng with the affairs of the See Yups.
Fourth-Declaring off the boycott by See
Yups against the Sam Yups.
The Sam Yups did not make definite
reply, but promised to submit the propo-
sitions 10 their counsel for consideration.
Mr.. Campbell declares that if the result
of his mission to Washington Is not sue
cesstul his clients will petition both the
State. Department and Chinese Govern
ment to have the Minister removed.

LONDON, Eng, March D. In the
House of Commons to-day the Right
Hon. George n. Curzon, Parliamentary
Secretary of the Foreign Office, stated
that Sir Alfred Biliotti, the British Con-
sui at Canea, had reported to the Govern
ment the text of an intervlsw lad on Fri
day last by the admiras of the warships
In Cretan waters with the chiefs of the in
surgents. The chiefs did not approve of
the scheme OF the powers to grant au-
tonomy 10 the island, and declared that
nothing but annexation to Greece would
satisfy them.
BERLIN, GERMANY, March 22-The
Post, which is known as the "Embassa-
doris organ" says semi officially to-day
that it seems that an agreement between
the powers on the Cretan question can
not be reached. 1t adds that if Germany's s
efforts to maintain peace do not meet
with the support of the other powers she
will not further lend her disinterested
services to that end.
CANEA, CRETE, March 22.-The outlook
in this city and vicinity is not very re-
assuring. The situation of the Turkish
garrison in the forts at MaIaxa is very
critical. The pace is besieged by insur-
gents and the Turkish troops have not
enough provisions to last them more than
two days. Attempts have been made to
revictual the forts, but the insurgents have
rendered the efforts fruitless. If the
Christians capture the forts at Malaxa
and Keratide, which it now appears highly
probable they will do, Canea will virtually
be blockaded landwar
ATHENS, GREECE. March 22.-King
George to-day had a long interview with
NJ. 0nou, the Russian Minister, after
which he summoned Prime Minister
Delyannls, to whom he gave prolonged

the enrolment OF all robust citizens not
otherwise liable to military service to
form militia force to guard the towns IN
the absence OF the troops.
Advices reached here today that a can

LONDON, ENG, March 22.-The Times
tomorrow VIII publish a long dispatch
from Athens, the gist of which is that the
Greek Government, realizing the gravity
of the situation and not sharing in the
war fever prevailing in the army and pop
ulace, is sincerely seeking solution of the
present troubles. 1t awaits with anxiety
The effrots toward mpromise that are
being made by the powers friendly to it
and is doing erything in its power to
check the troops and prevent an outbreak
on the frontier.
The Daily News will tomorrow publish
a dispatch from Rome, the sender of
which claims to have received reliable in
formation that although the powers are
anxious to maintain their concert, they
are unabl to agree upon their future ac-
ton. There are two courses of opinion
flowing, one in Russia and Germany and
another in Great Britain and Italy, and
these are d!ametrically opposed to each
other. The dispatch adds that the Italian
Government has instructed Admiral
Canevaro, who is in command OF the COM
bined fleets in Cretan waters, 10 make an
inquiry into the bombardment by the
Turkish warships in the Suda Bay. and
empowering him in his discre ion 10 COM
pei the Turkish warships 10 withdraw.
The Standard will tomorrow publish a
dispatch from Canea stating that there
has been further looting by Mussulmans
OF property owned by absent Christians.
The dispatch denies the alleged miscon-

ATHENS, GREECE, March 22.-After his
audience with The King, NJ. Delyannls
summoned a meeting of the Cabinet. The
council is supposed to have discussed the
naval preparations which Greece is making
in the Gulf OF Arta. which are reported
to have produced uneasiness in st. Peters
burg.
There is a scarcity OF horses for army
purposes, and the Government has issued
arequisition for all the best horses here,
TO be used by the troops. Many of tne
wealthy residents OF the city and vicinity
have turned all their horses over to the
Government, glad of the opportunity thus
furnished them of aiding in this way the
cause of Greece.
CANEA, CRETE, March 22-It is esti-
mated that nearly half of all the Mussul-
man inha bitants Of the island have sought
refuge here Their number is SO large
that the space within the Gordon is not
sufficient for their needs, and in many
cases they are herded like animals.
Measures are being taken to extend the
lines with the foreign detachment on duty
here. In the present temper OF the in
surgents near the city this is considered
to be hazardous experim

quests in the cases OF Christian Kilnecker,
who died on Saturday after engaging in a
boxing bout with Frank Connolly, and of
Edward Gibbons, who died the same day

by Samuel s. Perry on Friday night dur
ing bout at the Tenth Ward Democratic
Club.
It was testified that kllnecker stumbled,
and in falling struck his head on spike
which projected from the floor. The
autopsy showed that the fall broke an ab-
scess which had formed on the mans
brain and that death resulted therefrom.
Connolly was discharged.
In the Gibbons case, Peter Gillespie, the
referee James O'Neill, the second for
Gibbons; William Orr, the second for
Perry, and several others stated that it was
not brutal contest. Mr.. Cattell, the
Coroner's physician. declared that death
was caused by "aemorrhage OF the neck,
nose and brain, due to traumatic I'M uries. ;"
The jury held Perry responsible, and the
Deputy Coroner committed him to the
county prison without bail. to await the
action of the Grand Jury.

was to-day begun in the Justices Court
by J. E. Doolittle, collector, against
Mayor C. ]. Craycroft, who is a candidate
for reelection as the representative from
the Second Ward on the Board of City
Trustees. 1t is alleged that the bill was
contracted in Nick Justy's saloon four
years ago. on the night of the election OF
q Republic an Board of Trustees.
Mayor Craycroft and Joseph Spinney,
the two Republican trustees who were
then elected, were carried about the
streets by jubilant citizens, and several
saloons were visited. Nick Justy's place
was one of these, and the owner. four
drinks for the crowd. Cray croft is not a
drinking man and was simply carried
bodily into the saloons. The bill is out

after looking into the matter care fully,

Speaker and denouncing as groundles,
folly the report which the lobby had sent
out that it had influenced the Speaker and
members OF the Legislature. The report
was adopted unanimously. Another COM

Brothers of New York and Thomas Kuhn

This suit was really fight between the
