 The committee adduces as justif1ca- ton of the new report the seriousness of the situation, saying on this point:
 '"The serious consequences likely to result to the United States from the un- precedented and unwarranted action of the late Government of Nicaragua, and the evident purpose to force our Gov ernment into payment of a large sum as compensation for the future consent of the republic of the United States of Central America to the creation of a maritime canal through the San Juan River and Lax Nicaragua, require the committee to present the grounds on which it insists that this ~roceeding is without any support in law, justice of equity and that it violates the hitherto cordial relations of the United States with Nicaragua"

Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 7.-Governor Gage believes Ulysses S. Grant be- trayed the State ticket during the re- cent campaign. Judging from the re- marks the Governor made to-day MT. Grant will find in MT. Gage foe who does not know the meaning of the word compromise"
 1T am not friendly to Grant," said MT. Gage to-day, flor believe that he or some of his intimate friends in San Diego County acted the part of traitor to the State ticket during the recent campaign. A few days ago MT. Grant met me at the Palace Hotel and asked me to state my position. I told him that considering what had taken place in San Diego County I did not think was under any obligation to him. If MT. Grant had reflected for one moment he would not have interviewed me.
 'I did not object to the editorial that he published last summer in the Wave. The editorial denounced me. but as 1t was published before the State con- vention, it's publication was to cer- tain extent excusable. For the same reason I did not object to the postal card campaign that MT. Grant con-

 T have hardly left his bedside for a. moment during the past fortnight. Monday night he seemed to be improy- ing and was quite cheerful. After a time he asked me for drink of water and repeated my name several times. Finally he looked at me and, saying Lucy ,softly dropped off to sleep. He did not awaken.
 My boy, who was devotedly attached to him, has not been told the news of his stepfather's death. He is attending Dr. Spalding's school and will be told so that it will not shock him. He is such a manly. honest-faced boy, and he thought so much of poor Harry! Here is his photograph. Isn't he a boy of whom any mother could be proud?''
 Tears, the solace of the afflicted in all lands, then came to the relief of the bereaved widow.
 Out in St. Luke's Hospital an aged woman whose once active brain has been dulled by the years that have passed over her head calls piteously for her boy. This is Mrs. Mcdonald, moth CT of Hereward Hoyte Mcdonald, who was buried yesterday in Masonic Gene tery. Mrs. McDonaIds condition is so serious that her physician dreads the result when she is told her youngest son, always her pride, is dead. He brought her proudly from Australia and installed her in his home here. There came time when she required the continuous attention of trained nurses and then her son and his wife provided for her at St. Lukes, where all that modern science can do for her is applied to lessening her sufferings for the short time left her on earth.
 The romance which was ended by death on Tuesday had it's origin some three years since. Mrs. Auzerais had just divorced her husband. whom she found caused too heavy drain upon even her splendid income. The craving for the stage was strong within her at the time, and she placed herself under MT. Hoyte's tuition preparatory to mak- ing her debut as an amateur. This event, which was one of the great func- tionS of 1895, was a most impressive affair at the Palace Hotel. Admission was by invitation, and the maple room never held a more brilliant gathering. Mrs. AuZeraiS gowns were marvellous creations of the modiste's art and cast into the background any ever worn on the local stage before. At the time her greatest talent was in the wearing of these gowns gracefully, as though to the manner born, her acting being anna teurish.
 The apparent success of her debut made her stage mad, and she at once organized a company for the road. Here the troubles, which have beset her path. commenced The tour proved a junketing trip. The company went north into inhospitable Alaska, and the travelling expenses made heavy inroads upon Mrs. Auzerais' purse. However. it had its compensations. as the leading

ENGLAND WILL BE
 ASKED TO COOPERATE

LONDON, Dec. S.-The Washington correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says: T have ascertained from the highest source that President Mckinley has no thought of ignoring or violating British rights under the Clayton-Bul- wer treaty. On the contrary, when the proper time arrives. England will be invited to cooperate regarding the Nicaraguan canal"
 The Washington correspondent Of the Times makes a similar statement.
 The Daily Chronicle says, editorially: "The assurance given by our Washing ton correspondent cannot but cause great satisfaction here. Yet there prob ably will be some division of opinion in England on the question of making the canal with public money. There IS no reason why the work should not be done by private enterprise under gov ernmental guarantee by both nations. Our interest in the matter Is only that the canal should be free, neutral anc open to all the world on equal terms. :"
 The Madrid correspondent of the Standard, who contrasts the indiffer- ence of the majority of Spaniards to the Presidents message with the same anxiety regarding his declarations fore shadowing war. says:
 ''The press does not hide Its satisfac- ton at the indications in the message and elsewhere that American colonizing will be fraught with difficulties and eS- penditures. The prediction is made that the Nicaraguan canal will lead to trouble between the United States and Europe"

A well-known actor who died Tuesday and was quietly buried yesterday, and the
 woman who was both wife and pupil.

with Rose Coghlan and other stars. After appearing in all the big cities he returned to the Colonies. He was man of splendid presence and with his nat ural ability it was predicted that he had brilliant future before him. After q snort stay in Australia he again re- turned to this city, where he soon met Lucy Williams-Auzerais. a woman of great beauty and independent means. She had both talent of kind and an inclination for the stage and the fates sent them across each others path, whether for good or for evil let no un- kindly one say.
 Tn little vine-covered cottage on Oc- tavia street a brown-eyed, brown haired widow mourns for the dead actor whose passing away ends the one TO- nance of her life. The sorrow shown by Mrs. Hoyte is too deep and too poignant to be affected for the moment. Dressed in somber black and with a black bordered handkerchief to stem the tide of tears that will not dry she is pathetic little figure of distress.
 'He died with my name on his lips. Oh, he was so good and so kind to me. It seems hard for one like him to die. He was only 35 and such a splendid man. He was as big-hearted and kind ly as any one could be and I idolized him."
 Her mood changed as her thoughts reverted to his plans. We were going to act again and the future seemed so bright for us. He had planned it all, and now to think he is gone from me. It was not my wish that the funeral should be so quiet. but my friends thoughta 1t best. He was so well known

Hereward Hoyte, the actor, is dead.
 With the name Lucy, that of his wife, on his lips the man who in his day was the idol of the theater-goers of two con- tinents simply fell into the sleep which knows no awakening in this world. The curtain was rung down on a life that had not entered upon its most serious duties. The end was hastened by the attempt of the brilliant young actor to burn the candle at both ends.
 Hoyte's career during the past three years has been meteoric, not to say tempestuous. Born in Australia thirty five years ago. he first came to this country in 1890 and at once assumed a prominent place on the American stage, playing leading juvenile comedian roles

 "As far as the Senatorship is con cerned. am equally friendly to M. H. de Young. John D. Spreckels, Dan Burns, General Barnes, George Knight and MT. Bulla.
 The Governor does not appoint the Senator, and have troubles enough of my own without seeking those that do not concern me. I wish to say. how ever, that l shall be unalterabIy op- posed to any candidate who Is not open- ly and above board in favor of San Pedro harbor. Every candidate will have to proclaim himself in advance. {"
 Although Governor Gage absolutely refuses to say whether he leans to any one Of the foregoing candidates. some or the best posted politicians in the south say he is not averse to the can- didacy of Bulla. In the fight for the gubernatorial nomination Bulla was originally rival of Gage. When Gage won, however, Bulla took off his coat and worked for the success of the Re- publican ticket. Gage is not unmind- ful of the generosity of his rival.
 The Governor will leave Los Angeles on Friday for trip to his mine at Ac- ton. When he returns he will turn hls law business over to George Dennis. formerly United States District Attor- ney. The Governor will then 20 north. and until Christmas will divide his time between San Francisco and Sacra- mento. He has not yet selected a resi- dence. and has not even thought of his inaugural address,.
 AS far as patronage is concerned. MT. Gage has made only two selections his private secretary and the executive secretary. It IS understood that the Governor will appoint Colonel Stone ad5utant general. AS soon as he takes office he will name secretary to the Board of Examiners. He has not yet selected man for the position.
