Another Murder.

Seattle. March 20.-Skaguay has had
another murder. according to n OIL
GERS Of the steamers Al h n
Hueneme. which arrived here direct
from Lynn canal to-day. On last Mon
day night a laboring man was shot by
a colored woman of the lowest class at
the entrance OF her cabin i'm the saloon
district of Skaguay. He died shortly
before the sailed TUESDAY
morning. The murder was the result
of trouble which began early Monday
evening over the disappearance OF the
mans watch. He was armed at the
time the negro woman shot him, ana
had told her a few minutes before that
he would come back and kill her. The
names of either the man or woman
had not been learned. 1t was thought
that the woman would be released. as
all the circumstances seemed to justify
her plea Of self-defense.

The Eminent Tragedian to Appear This
Evening In .'vireinius'' at the Margaret.
The surest and most emphatic evil
dence of dramatic success is the returns
from the box office, where the people
pay their money to see the entertain
ment. and the people seldom make a
mistake: they may be lured once or
twice by gaudy posters, skillfully word
ed advertisements and other meretrici-
Gus devices, adopted by INSCRIPTIONS
managers of unworthy attractions. but
the deception is soon apparent and the
result disastrous. Frederick Warde Is
heralded with no superffuous adJect-
ives: his portrait is seen in the win
dows. a plain poster is on the Dill
boards. and the simple announcement
that III will appear on a certain even
ing in " irginius' is the advertisement
in the newspapers. yet the sterling abil-
ity of his actor Is so well known that
the houses are invariably w by
the best class of theatergoers. On sew
eral occasions Mr.. Warde has been COM
PEELED TO give extra matinees TO ac-
cummodate those who were unable To
obtain even standing room to his per
formances. This result is as gratifying
to those who have the welfare OF the
stage at heart as il Is a worthy tribute
to one who's life has been devoted &c
the best interests of the drama and the
exposition of all that Is true and noble
in art.

CLUB SCANDAL
Racing World Reused to a High
Pitch of Excitement.
PATRONS WERE ROBBED
Crooked Work by a Combination OF
Bookmakers, Jockeys and Powerful
"Sure Thing" Gamblers-A
Thorough Investigation.

Special Dispatch to the standard.
San Francisco, March 20.-The local
racing world Is aroused to a high pitch
of excitement over the scandal that the
suspension of Jockeys Jones and Spen-
Ger has created President Williams
and the authorities of the California
Jockey club determined TO probe the
matter to the bottom. There Is posi-
tive evidence Of the existence OF a dis
honest combination Of bookmakers.
jockeys and several powerful sure
thing gamblers, who use both book
makers and Jockeys as TO fleece
the public. The existence Of the con-
spiracy to rob patrons of race tracks Is
frankly admitted by those concerned in
the investigation.
President Williams of the California
Jockey club says: I'VE have not pro-
ceeded without sure foundation and we
know that as far as We have gone we
are on the right track. without DOUBT
there has been rocked work ana we
have cornered some of the workers.
THE information at hand Is a guar
antee that we hall have no trouble In
establishing the guilt of those we have
accused and probably more besides. AT
any rate. there will be no protection
given and I propose to run this investi-

of the people at the track. The further
il goes the better ! will be suited, for
then the action will be a sweeping one.
At least we do not intend to play any
favorites, but shall probe this affair TO
the bottom, no matter whom 1t hits
Judge J. A. Murphy said: Il am
certain that we have not made a nasty
move. We nave already summoned at
least 30 witnesses. The jockeys whom
we have set down are undoubtedly
guilty. We will, however, make no
errors. and even IL the scope of guilt
extends over a big area we Will make a
clean sweep. Punishment will be dealt
out to the guilty ones, no matter who
they are
President Williams will call as wit
nesses men who are known to possess
some information. George Rose knows
Jockey Spencer, and may tell some
thing about the boy. Joe Rose is cred
tied with knowing Eddie Jones very
well. Joe Rose is at present enjoying
a vacation. He closed his book when
Jones and Spencer were suspended. ana
has not been seen since at the track.
His friends feel assured, however, h a
he can shed very strong light on the
whole affair If he cares to do so.
IL may be a matter incidentally OF
interest to know that Joe Rose was a
bookmaker at St. Louis when Eddie
Jones was set down for suspicious
practices that cloud his reputation at
present. Ned Lanigan, Jack Sullivan.
Billy Harrison, prominent democratic
politicians. Danny Lynch, and his pro-
tege, Tom Sharkey. and Johnny Cole
man OF Chicago, may also be Wit
nesses. They are generally informed,
and. IL is understood. a tell a great
deal about crooked jockeys IL their
modesty does not overcome them. IL Is
understood. however. that on subjects
relating to the race track they have
have conscientious scruples about be-
ing parrulOuS.

The Chicago Is Being Rebuilt Now

washington, Jan. 15.-Secretary OF
the Navy Long sent a recommendation
to congress today for an appropriation
of $4,000 fer improvements in the bat
terry of the cruiser Chicago and ac-
companying it is d strong report OF As
sistant Secretary Roosevelt in which
he points out some weaknesses of the
navy. Mr.. Roosevelt says the Chicago
is being rebuilt at a cost considerably
greater than was her original contract
price and says the department viii be
inexcusable if it turns out new snip
with defective guns for her main pat
terry.
1t will be expensive to put four new
guns aboard the Chicago but no more
than 6 per cent of the total expenditure
on repairs.
In the event of war, if any disaster
happened to one of our ships OWING
to her possessing an Anticipated pat
tery. a responsibility would rest on the
navy department for failing to ask 1or

ADVANCE OF GOLD STANDARD
PREPARATIONS FOR IT'S INTRO
DUCTIoN IN INDIA.
Speech of the Finance Minister of the
Council-Delegates Arriving For
Indianapolis Convention.

Calcutta, Jan. 15.-Sir James West
land. the finance minister of the coun-
ell, at the meeting yesterday of that
body, made a speech. in which he said
he was unable to give final reply to
the question of the introduction of a
gold standard. One thing was clear,
he continued A great advance had
been made in the direction contem-
plated by the authors of the policy OF
1893, namely, the gold standard would
become possible. Many obscure points
had been determined by actual .eX-
perience. The disasters of 1897 Ada.
been followed by a bOuntiful harvest.
and the renewal of trade discussions
of last autumn had prepared the pub
lie and official opinion in England TO
the possible necessity of the gold
standard which might involve the ac-
tual diversion for Indian purposes of
a certain amount of gold from the gen
eral available stock. The speaker said
also that he was fully alive TO the
grave commercial bearings of the sub
ject, adding that if the legislation of
1898 had not been introduced, exchange
might have dropped to pence, and the
present situation might have been far
worse
