The San Francisco call., 1898-03-05

MT. Hinton stated at late hour last night that while he had not been of ficially notified of his appointment, he expected to receive his commission either Monday or Tuesday. He added that he did not know who would sue ceed him as Registrar of Votes of this county.
 The fact that Hinton would succeed the late Dr. James l. Stanton in the Board of Railroad Commissioners was exclusively published in The Call on February 25.
 There are quite a number of aspir- ants for the position of Registrar, made vacant by the appointment of Hinton. Harry l. Mulcreavy, at present chief deputy of the Registrars office. is in the fight for the place. Peter w. Me Glade, who ran for Clerk of the Su- preme Court at the last general cleo tion and who is now employed as a deputv in the office of Street Superin- tendent Ambrose, is also in the race. Charles Gildea, eX-ASSemblyman and forr-or member of the State Board of Equalization, is also mentioned as an aspirant.
 It is probable that Hinton's successor will not be named by Governor Budd before the middle of next week.

CRAzED BY MISFORTUNE. Asylum Opens for a Disinherited
 Young JapaneSe

SAN JOSE, March 4.-Kuro Soude, young Japanese, was sent to Agnews h. sane Asylum to-day. The unfortunate is the son of wealthy gun manufactures at Nagasaki, Japan. He came to Cali fornia about two years ago. and since that time has lived in this city most of the time. He enjoyed a handsome monthly remittance from his father, and lived rather a sporty life.
 The story of his wild career reached Japan. and last month his father cut off his remittance. The young man saw nothing but hard work ahead of him, and brooded over his trouble until he lost his reason. When a young man is thus cut off by a parent in Japan he is for ever regarded as a castoff, and this dis grace preyed upon his mind. Soude is about 25 years of age.
