MADRID, Nov. 17.-Almost all the
papers deprecate the dilatory proceed
ings at Paris, expressing their belief
that the United States will decline ar
bitration, and urging the Government
to yield quickly, since it is impossible
for Spain to renew the struggle or to
expect European assistance, and fur
thermore because it would be better
to cease wasting money, and. to con-

The Unfortunate Tragedy Due to the Care
less Handling Of a Shotgun.
Was Pulling the Loaded Weapon
Out of His Buggy Muzzle First,
When the Trigger Caught on
Something and the Gun Was
Discharged, the Contents En-
tering His Heart.

STOCKTON, Nov. 17.-Contractor j..
D. McDougald was instantly killed this
afternoon, about 3:15 o'clock, at the
Weber Cutoff, three miles from Stock
ton He was pulling shotgun out
of his buggy, muzzle first, when the
trigger caught on something, causing
the contents of the gun to be dis
charged into his heart.
Edward Sherwood of Stockton, who
witnessed the accident. says McDou-
gald died instantly Sherwood immedi-
ately came to town and notified the
Coroner.
McDougald was President of the
Board of Managers of the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Stockton, and
was we'll known throughout this part
of the State. He leaves a wife and
several children. 1t is understood that
his life was heavily insured.
A brother of the unfortunate man
was killed in the same way in Yo-
semitic Valley some years ago.
McDougald had large enterprises on
hand. and carried to completion some
of the big projects of recent years. He
had the contract to excavate the Mo-
desto irrigation canal, and became en-
barressed for a time by carrying a
large block of the bonds of the dis
trict, while they were not negotiable,
but finally won out when they were
declared good. He also had large con-
tracts in grading the Valley Railroad

RACE TROUBLES IN SOUTH.
Colored People Meet at New York
to Resent Treatment of Race.

NEW YORK, Nov IA mass
meeting of colored men and women to
protest against the recent treatment
of their race in some of the South
ern States was held tonight in Cooper
Union. AS a precautionary measure
the police were out in force, as even
in this city, in the Hell's Kitchen dis
trict, there has been considerable
amount of anti-negro sentiment. This
precaution, however, was not at all
necessary, as the gathering, although
enthusiastic at times. was a very
peaceable one.
The hall was crowded with colored
people, with a sprinkling of whites.
During a tedious wait for the speakers,
a white man, with long flowing hair,
arose in his seat in the center aisle
and shouted: 'Oh. if we only had q
William Lloyd Garrison, a Wendell
Phillips or an Abraham Lincoln at this
time!" This evoked great applause.
Thomas Fortune appeared on the
stage a few moments later, and took
the presiding officers chair. Mr. For
tune. in lengthy address, told of the
race troubles in the South.
Ebenezer D. Bassett. formerly Min
lister to Hayti, also spoke.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
the ''rioting and revolution which have
disgraced the States of North Caro-
lima and South Carolina" censuring
the Governors of those States for their
failure to suppress the outbreaks
against the negroes, and for their fall
ure to invoke the aid of the Federal
authorities if they found themselves
unable to cope with the conditions, and
insisting that the just rights of all
citizens under the Constitution shall be
respected.
The resolutions further recite that
the States of Mississippi. South Caro-
lima and Louisiana have by censtitu-
tional action disfranchised more than
half their population. and demand that
the basis of representation of these
States in Congress and the Electoral
College be reduced in the proportion to
the number of male citizens thus dis
| franchised.
The concluding resolution was as
| follows:
Resolved, That we implore the guild
ance of Almighty God in the shaping
of our citizenship, to the end that 1T
may make way for Righteousness, for
| human progress and for the invine1-
bility of our great and beloved Repub-
| lie against the elements of rioting and
revolution from within and the as
saults of enemies from without"

NEED OF DRY DOCKS.
Chief Endicott Points Out Necessi-
ty of Ample Docking Facilities.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17-In his an
nual report to the Secretary of the
Navy Chief Endicott of the Bureau of
Yards and Docks makes a. strong point
of the necessity for ample docking fa-
cilities not only for small vessels, but
for the battleships upon waters near
Key West. The estimates submitted
for the next year provide for only one
new dock, which is to be of the largest
type, constructed of granite and con-
crete and located at the Norfolk Navy
Yard.
The estimates of the various navy
yards for the next fiscal year are as
follows: Portsmouth. N H., $500, 900;
Boston, Mass. $367, 900; New London,
Conn. $50, 1000; New York, S612, 600;
League Island, Pa, $755, ,97S; Washing
ton, D. c., $205, 900; Norfolk, Va. ST.
100000 ($1, 100000 being for a new
dock); Port Royal, S. c., $145, 900; Key
West, $112, ,520; Mare Island, 1851. $50;
Puget Sound, $53, 800
Treating of this last station, Puget
Sound, Chief Endicott says that if it
be important to equip a ffrst-class naval
station in that vicinity, a new site
should be selected, for the present has
none of the desiderata of a good naval
station. There is no nearby population
to draw upon for skilled labor; no
available market, and no direct rail-
road connection with a trunk line.
Under these conditions, it is said to be
doubtful if it be wise to build large
station at this point.
The report also comments upon the
fact that no battleships or heavy
draught cruiser has yet approached the
Wharves at Mare Island, and it remains
to be demonstrated that this precious
location as navy yard was a fortu-
nate one. Attention is called to the
fact that the Oregon was compelled to
go SOO miles north to Puget Sound to
De docked. While the Government
could construct ample dock facilities
ON San Francisco Bay, this would still
be 400 miles north of the southern
boundary of the United States, where
1t IS quite as important to have a naval
station as on the northern boundary at
Puget Sound. Therefore it is recon-
mended that a. board of experienced Of
hcers be directed to give attention to
the establishment of such a station
near the southern limits of the Pacific
Coast
The total estimates of the bureau for
the next fiscal year aggregate S6.347.-
421.

NEVILLS ON THE STAND.
The Complainant in the Extortion
Case Cross-Examined.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-Captain
w A Nevills took the stand this morn
ing when the hearing of the case of
extortion against Myron Azhderian,
Elsie Williams and Grace Loose was
resumed in Judge Cooks department.
The owner of the Rawhide was hos
tile, and in response to questions in
cross s-examination, entered upon such
lengthy arguments with counsel that
the court was finally compelled TO warns
him that a repetition of the offense
would subject him to punishment for
contempt of court Then Nevills calm
ed down and responded in more amiable
fashion.
why did you give Mrs Williams
check for $2,000?" asked Attorney
Baker
Because she had threatened to in
form my wife of our relations, and
feared such thing would set her
crazy" was the reply.
Did not your wife know you We're
friendly with Mrs. Williams at that
time?''
mo, she did not"
Did not Elsie Williams call on you
at the Palace Hotel and nurse you
for two days after you had given her
the $1,000 check?" was asked
Il did not give her a $1,000 check
The check was raised from $500 to S2,-
OO0."
At this point Judge Cook quizzed the
witness, and drew from him the in
formation that when he filed out the
check he wrote out two thousand dol
lars" in words but only inserted $500
in figures. Another cipher was sub
sequently added to the amount.
In response to further questions. the
witness went over the story of the
scene at the Palace Hotel, when he was
lying seriously i'll, and was visited by
the defendants. At that time he claim
ed he was so i'll that all he wanted was
to be let alone 'I filled out the check
and gave ii to Mrs Williams" he said.
but l was SO sick that 1 did not know
what l was doing"
You remember, do you not. that a
boy came to your room with the check
from the bank. and that you O. KID
it?" was asked
Yes, have faint recollection that
such thing occurred was the re-
eponse.
While the morning session was in
progress, J. Azhderian, a brother of one
of the defendants, came into court and
was taken into custody by the order
of the court for violation of the order
made excluding witnesses. He would
give no reason for his act, and was
fined 500 and committed to the Gus
tody of the Sheriff for five days, but
later Judge Cook vacated the order.

Stories are current here in Spanish
