California Tragedy,

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Andrew
SCHUYLER, a broker, fatally shot his wife
and then committed suicide at his Office
in California street last night. SCHUYLER,
who was 20 years old, had been sepa.
rated from his wife for over two years.
She had been msrriad before, her
former husband leaving her valuable
estate. She frequently accused Schulz
Ter of having diverted great portions Of
this money TO his own use and she
stated to day that the object of her visit
to his office was to obtain some money
which he had promised her. What
passed between them in the office is not
known. Suddenly two shots in success
sion were heard and SCHUYLER, pistol in
hand, was seen pursuing his wife. She
fell 10 the floor and the enraged man
fired three shots at her. Schiller then
ran back to his Office and Mrs. SCHUYLER
was taken to hospital. As soou as the
officers knocked on Schuller's door
shot was heard and on entering he was
found dead on the floor.

TIE Virginia negroes in Washington,
nearly all OF whom are sent to this
State by some of the many republican
committees there to vote the republican
ticket at every national election, have
gathered themselves together and re-
solved that though they constitute
nearly the whole really effective
strength of the republican party in Yir-
GINA, they get none of the spoils OF
victory, either State or national, and
that therefore they will hereaftar nom
mate candidates of their own and sup,
port them at future elections. IT they
were to, it would unquestionably make
the normal democratic majority great
er, and show in its true light the real
impotancy of the republican party in
the State. But they won't. They have
made such resolves before, but have al
ways allowed the republicans to fool
them into supporting the republican
ticket, and they will do so sgain. 1t
is their nature to do so; they have no
better sense.

MONDAY EVENING, MAR IA, 1898.

THAT THIS is the day OF peanut poll
tics in this country has long been plain
to all intelligent men, and that 1t Is,
must now be apparent even to the
stupid. The republican administration,
as it should have been, was con-
tent to allow Spain to settle her
troubles with her insurgent Cuban SUBJ
jects in her own way, until the blind
could see that it had lost its hold even
upon the members of its own party, ex-
cept the benefciarie5 among them, and
would certainly be defeated at the next
election, and then, as means of re-
gaining its forfeited purchased support,
it avails itself of the opportunity afford
ed by an accident to ship in the har'
Dor of Havana, to make u great ado
about its regard for the "honor Of the
country" and the defense of the flag, "
against poor old Spain that has never
impugued the former nor threatened
the latter, and, more remarkable still,
in this, it is not only supported by the
republican, but by the democratic
party. But besides this, the administra-
ton says the fifty million, that has just
been given to it by Congress can well
be spared, as the Treasury has large
surplus, and, in order to retain the vote
OF the negroes, appoints them to the
most responsible and important offices
in the larger cities of the South, though
every body knows that the money re-
ferred to was borrowed by Mr.. Cleve.

interest on government bonds, AID that
when negro goes to the polls, he is

But peanut politics and shirt sleeve

THE STATES FIGHTING STRENGTH-
The number of letters which Gov.

the State who want to raise troops to
serve against Spain in case of war is
greater than on any subject since Bis

the State is divided into the active and
the reserve force. The former includes
the present organized force, numbering
about 200 men, which would probably
be swelled to 1900 in case of war. The
reserve militia consists of sll able
bodied men between the ages Of /, and
50, with certain exceptions, including
nearly all State officials, court officers.
customs officers, and clerks, ministers
of the Gospel, and others The total
strength of the reserve force at the a-t

sists of five divisions, or, rather. is -ul-
posed to be divided in that manner tor
as matter of fact, this force is entirely
