 OF COLONIES Progress of the Conven- ton Being Held at
 Melbourne.
Australian States Are Uniting Under One Central Gov
 ernment.
DeIeqates Still Have the Features of the Enabling Bill Under
 Discussion.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, March 6.-The Aus tralian mail brought by the steamship Aorangi contains very full reports of the meetings at Melbourne of the Fed eration Convention. The convention opened on January 20, and when the Aorangi left on February no great progress had been made.
 When the convention got down to business it took up the federation en- abling bill. A long discussion ensued over the judiciary bill. It was decided ultimately that as regards the h1gh court the bench should consist or al least a chief justice and two other jus tices. The right of appeal to the Im- perial Privy Council is abolished, except in cases involving public interest. A proposal giving over all railways with out consent of the States, instead of railways that might be agreed to by any State, was rejected. Another pro- posal to include a power to deal with conciliation and arbitration for the pre- vention and settlement of industrial disputes extending beyond the limits oi any one State was agreed to.
 A question which had almost result
  was a proposal to place the Murray Darling and Murrumbidgee rivers un- der Federal control.
 The New South Wales delegates raised the cry that the colony was De- ing robbed of it's rivers
 At last the convention unanimously decided as a preliminary to remove from the bill the sub-clauSe, giving the federation the control and regulation of the navigation of the Murray ano the use of it's waters from where the stream forms the boundary between Victoria and New South Wales to the sea.
 Various compromises regarding other rivers were being discussed when the mail left.
 The colony of Victoria. like Tasma- mia. has suffered fearfully from busf fires. Fires are reported from all parts of the colony. and much damage mas been done. Scores of families art homeless.
 In Tasmania, Chief Justice Sir Lam bert Dobson is obtaining report o' the damage done by fire to guide tht relief committee in it's distributions Nothing has ever been known before in the southern colonies like the ru1I wrought, and this year will long b. woefully memorable, both in Vlctorl; | and Tasmania.

 Repairs.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, March 6.-The wrecked steamer Corona has been hauled off the rock upon which she struck on Janu- ary 23 in Arthur Channel near Lewis Island, Alaska. This information was brought down by the steamship Lakme, which arrived in port at o'clock this afternoon. Captain Anderson says that when he was passing the wrecked steamship on Thursday evening Cap- tain Harry Goodall asked for his assist ance in floating the Corona. The steamship had been pretty we'll pumped out and at S:30 o'clock on Thursday the Corona was again af1oat. Through the aid of the Lakme and the steam schooner Maude she was hauled into Shoal water.
 Her pumps having been stopped for several hours the vessel again began to fill up. It was expected that in a day or two the steamship would be raised and placed on the sand beach. After plugging up the holes she would then be ready to be brought south and placed on the dry dock for permanent repairs.
 The steamship Lakme had pleasant trip, having left Skaguay on Tuesday afternoon last. While coming down she passed the following vessels going north in the order named: Wolcott. steam schooner Alcazar, Rescue with two scows in tow, Danube and North Pacific, all within thirty-six miles of Skaguay; unknown steamship and tow with two scows.

FRANCES E. WILLARD
 NOT THE FOUNDER,
Correction of Popular Error as to the Organization of the
 M q n IT


 CINCINNATI, March 6.-The Enquirer to-day publishes the following: Many persons have been speaking of Miss Frances Willard as the founder of the National Womens Christian Temperance Union. The founder of the Women's s Christian Temperance Union resides in this city. Mrs. Mcclellan Brown was in- strumentai in calling the first convention inaugurating the movement at Columbus fn February 1874 and in August following she went to the Chatauqua assembly with a full plan of organization, which she had incorporated by committee from various States present at that assembly. By her correspondence the first conven- tion was called at Cleveland in Novem- Der, 1874 where Miss Willard first en- tered upon the work and was made secre- tary of the convention. Mrs. Brown at that time declined the nomination for the presidency.
 Mrs. Annie Wittenmeyer of Philadelphia was president for five years preceding Miss Willard'S succession to the preSl- dency in 1S79 Mrs. Brown was, in 1874, the right worthy vice-templar of the Good Templars, which had constituency of SOO,O00 paying members Mrs. Brown still holds the copyright of the original plan of work in the Women's Christian Temperance Union, dated January 12 1875. and bearing the signature of Li- brarian Spofford and the official seal. Mrs. Brown formerly resided at Alliance and later at Pittsburg.

Escholle Estate Divided.

MONTEREY, March Gone of the large Monterey County estates, the divi- sion of which was made necessary by the death of Henri Escholle three years ago, has just filed it's articles of incorporation, and each of the heirs is to receive his pro- portion of the stock. The capital stock of the concern Is s110,000, divided into no shares of 5000 each. Adelaide, Leon E., Charles B. and Joseph Escholle and Marie E. Lucke are the directors of the corpor- ation and will manage it's affairs for the Escholle heirs. This step was made nee essary on account of the difficulty of di- viding the estate as it stood equitably.

 holding semi exposition in San Francisco to commemorate the fif- tieth anniversary of the admission of California into the Union. The idea. I believe, has originated with The Call, and I can promise my hearty support to the project. Of course every one realizes that it is a stupendous under taking, and one that would involve a great deal of hard work all over the State to make it properly representative of the State whose Seni-centennial ad- mission it is proposed to so fittingly celebrate I have no doubt, however that if the project is taken hold of in the proper spirit, as advocated by The Call, it can be made a great success. It would be a magnificent advertise ment for the State and would attract many Eastern visitors here, as the Midwinter Fair did. It would give Fresno County splendid opportunity which would attract the attention of a doubtless result in bringing many ne State. Other counties would also have hip thing for the whole State. Yes.

The new device is very simple in it's mechanism, but perfect in its working and the patent attorneys who are handling Heneken's interests say it is the greatest invention ever brought to their attention. Henneken has just procured a caveat on the invention and will apply for foreign as we'll as United States patents. He intends erecting a small working model here to demonstrate the practicability of his invention.

 the admission of California into the sisterhood of States. Such an exposi- tion on the lines suggested by The Call would, in my opinion, do incalculable good. It would be a grand advertise ment; it would show what we are do ing: it would point out our possibilities as nothing else could. What our State needs most is some enterprise which will show the people of the two conti- nents what we are doing. and this is just what an exposition would do. No one will say that the Midwinter Fair was not a grand success, nor that it did not do wonders for the State. A celebration in honor of the golden we'd ding of California should and would exceed in magnificence and general good to the State a Midwinter Fair We have the resources. No other State

'I heartily indorSe the proJect as du-
 vocated by The Call of having an ex- position in 1900 in honor of the fiftietn anniversary of the State of California. On the 18th of October, 1850, was pres ent at the raising of the American nag at Portsmouth Square, San Franclsco' in honor of California's admission to the Union. California was admitted nearly month prior to that date, put fifty years ago the telegraph and the telephone were not giving the news or the world to California as they are to- day. Let us give an exposition Tn lsoo and show to the world the advance ment that this, the greatest or all States, has made in half century.

 vocacy of an exposition for 1900 Is wise, thoughtful and in keeping with the progressive element for which California has been famous throughout the civil ized world.
 San Francisco is particularly noted for her hospitality in entertaining strangers. Her resources for handling large crowds are unlimited.
 The exposition we should. by all means, have. It will bring thousands of people to our shores who will come for settlement, and thousands will be attracted thither by advertisements of our remarkable resources and great ness.
 The immense benefit which will ac- crue to the entire Pacific Coast cannot be estimated. An exhibition and publi- cation of what California has done in

While the ninth day of September, 1900, will be day which will justify a general iollification and high jinks by the Native Sons, 1t will remain for the populace to put their shoulder to the wheel by inviting to our midst the world. that it may learn of the great strides the young State has taken and become convinced that the advancement is not a phantom, but a real. steady progress, that In a remarkably brief space of time will place her in the galaxy of States the grand particular star of all.

exposition at San Francisco is one wor- thy of The Calls enterprise and of the attention and interest of every resi- dent of the State. San Jose and Santa Clara County I am sure can be de- pended upon to lend their moral and financial support to the enterprise. No State in the Union, no country in the world, ever made such marvellous ad- vancement in so short a time from
 such humble beginnings Fifty years ago California was in a state of semi barbarism. It was comparatively an unknown country, separated from the East by thousands of miles of noun tains, deserts and plains, haunts of wild beasts and hostile Indians. Yet within a year American energy and courage overcame all these obstacles

into the Union. The mining lalr re- gently held in San Francisco to cele- brate the f1ftieth year after the discov- cry of gold proved a great success ana of incalculable benefit to the whole State. as it was school for the old ana young and will be the cause for a closer relationship between all of the people now within the borders of the State. l believe the move to hold an exposition in 1900 similar to the Mid Winter Ex- position a most excellent plan and just what should be done to bring people of the United States and Tn fact of all parts of the world to our State. It would do more to advertise our re- sources than any other means possible, and I for one would do all possible to assist in such an undertaking.

SECRETARY OF STATE SUED
Idaho's State Auditor Wants S675
From Lewis.


Boise, Ida, Feb. 16-J. II. Anderson,
state auditor of Idaho. began an ac-
ton in the supreme court here today
against Secretary of State George j.
Lewis. The proceedings are in the
form of an application for writ of
mandate to compel the secretary of state
to pay into the state treasury 1918,
which, it is alleged, he collected from
the Sentinel Printing company of this
city for transcribing the session laws
and senate Journals An appropriation
of $1,000 was made at the last session
of the legislature for the printing of
the laws and journals. The secretary of
state charged the Sentinel company.
which did the printing, 1913 for the
transcribing and turned the balance of
the apprOpria ton over to the company.
Lewis justified his action by the state
ment that the work was done outside
of office hours and he was, therefore,
entitled to the proceeds, which he ap-
propriated to. his own use.
In his petition to the court the state
auditor alleges that Lewis did the work
in his official capacity, and that the
money he received belongs TO the state.
In addition to the S675 the auditor has
entered in his account against the
secretary of state Is per cent damages
for failure to pay the money into the
treasury, and 10 per cent interest on
1915 since Oct l, 1897, the time that
the money was received. The total
amount alleged to be due the state is

Car company, named Wagstaff, part
ly corroborated the statement of
Mrs. Mayer. He said that he
was driving along Fifth East, go
ing to work, just after o'clock,
when lie noticed two men running up
Fourth East from Fifth South. They
kept in the shadow of the trees, but at
the time Wagstaff thought nothing of
the event. John Thomas, a newsboy,
stated that he was driving along Fifth
South shortly after o'clock, going
east. when he noticed two men near the
corner of Second East, only a short
distance from Browns store. The men
moved rapidly and before he reached
them they turned the corner and went
south along Second East.
Henry Green, another newsboy who
lives next door south of the store, said
that he was busily engaged about
sos O'Clock in Harvesting his horse
preparatory to driving up town for his
papers, when he was startled by what
he thought was the slamming of a
door. He paid no more attention to
the matter and soon after drove away
in the cart. The slamming of the door
was probably one of the shots. and, it
is thought, that it was the sound of
his cart which was heard leaving the
place after the shooting.
ANOTHER BUGGY STORY.
Miss Carrie Pepper who lives two
doors south, said that she heard two
shots. A man named Samuelson stated
that he had heard three shots, and
then some man exclaimed: Get up
jeff" the exclamation being followed
with the slash of a whip and the rat
tie of wheels leaving the corner. 1t
seems that every person in the neigh
borhood had a different story to tell
as to the wagon and the running Of
the assassins.
It was advanced as one theory that
Brown had committed suicide, but that
is hardly probable, as he would not
have rified his own pants. fired a shot
at the door, broken the glass in that
portal and opened it, then walked back
and shot himself. Another theory ad-
vanced was that the shooting was acct
dentally done by himself as he crept
about the room. That idea is also
secuted by the police. Several other
