ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
Thomas MaIoney in Prison for Kill ing Frank Mckee in Bakersfield.

OAKLAND, Aug. 25.-Thomas Maloney was arrested tonight on a warrant from Bakersfield charging him with murder. . The incident leading up to the death of the victim occurred at Bakersfield last Saturday Maloney who Is about 20 years of age, got into dispute with a youth named Frank Mckee. They came to blows in a saloon while both were under the influence of liquor. Maloney says he had a penknife in his hand and that he cut Mckee. He did not know he had cut Mckee till some time afterward, and Mc- Kee did not realize that he had been in- jured for several hours.

 Yesterday an old lady, who from her manner was evidently deaf, paid her fare after the car had started from Market street, and Instructed the aforesaid con- ductor to let her off at Cough street. When the car arrived there the conduct or had got the old lady mixed up in his mind with another one of Celtic persua, sion. and, thinking that the latter had made the request, he stopped the car and addressing himself to the daughter of Erin he said, "Go-off street." She made no response, and the deaf lady did not hear the name of the street at which she wished to anght, or else did not under stand 1t as pronounced. Fixing a stern look of offended dignity on the woman for delaying the car, he repeated in higher key, "Go-off street! She now realized that he was addressing her, and, arranging herself as if to take a f1rmer grip on her seat, she gazed at the ex asperated conductor and said in decided accents, 'Ill not go off. I've paid my fare, and am going to ride to the end of the line" By that time the deaf lady had made out that it was her street, and she left the car, which proceeded on its tourney, and the determined Celtic lady went with 1t.

THE GzAR AND HIS PROPOSITION
OF PEACE.

II do not imagine that any posi-
tive steps will be agreed to looking
toward the age long dream of proph-
ets and sages,' writes B. O. Flower,
in an article on the Cars proposition
which appears in the November Nat
ional Magazine. ''Jealousies and
distrusts are too pronounced to rem
der it probable that the European ma
tions will agree to radical measures
looking towards disarmament, unless
some feasible agreement can be reach
ed whereby a court of arbitration can
be established that would reduce the
chances of war to the minimum. Yet,
though the immediate outlook may
appear discouraging, I believe great
and permanent good will flow from
the proposition. 1t is the appeal Of
far-seeing craftsmanship, prompted
by purely practical reasons, which
now reipforces the arguments Of hu-
manitarians and philosophers. And
as the burden Of taxes grows more
and more, and the restlessness Of the
people spreads, the wisdom of the
Car will perhaps be forced home to
European rulers in a manner that
cannot be eyaded. =

the rate of one cent per yound.

FROM co. K, IN CUBA.

In the Jennings Times we find a
letter from a member of Co. X,
Hoods Immunes, now at Santiago.
from which we make these extracts.
which will be Of interest to the friends
Of our boys IN that command: 1--WE
are still in camp at Sango but are ex-
pecting orders every day to move.
Those faint hopes that we have been
treasuring so fondly, about going
back to s'Dixie," are away below par
and we have about made up our minds
to spend the winter in Cuba and ey-
eryone would be willing to stay, with
out murmur, if we were used right.
You must not think we expect feath-
er beds nor pumpkin pie in army life,
but we do expect to be used as II. s.
Soldiers. Perhaps when we get set
tied in barracks for the winter, it will
be different. The past week was
very rainy, the worst since our land
ing, so that every thing has been dis
agreeable. The company streets are
a mudhole from one end TO the other.
Most all the tents leak and things are
damp and musty. | do not think
this will last long, for the rainy sea
son is about over.
Co. K is making a good record,
having more men for duty than any
in the regiment. We said we were
immunes and we don't intend to con-
tradict ourselves by getting sick.
I will try and describe our COM
pany. We have hammocks with wide
seams so we run bamboo poles
the seams and get them up
on pegs, 50 we have pretty fair cot,
and that is about all the furniture we
have. Capt. Pickard received COM
mission today. We have no lieu
tenants at present but suppose they
will be appointedtin q day or two.
The biigler sounded assembly about
o'clock last night and in five min
utes. co. X was dressed and in line.
We were several minutes ahead of
any other company in the regiment.
We stood in line about 10 minutes
and Col. Grubbs rode up and said
had evidently made a mis-
take and sounded the alarm without
orders, and dismissed us. We had
received orders to be ready at any
time, as trouble is expected with the
who show signs Of hostility,
and the event occasioned no sur
prise. :

We publish a supplement- this week
containing biographical sketches of
the republican candidates for county
and Legislative Offices, and we kindly
beg our readers and especially the
voters to give to their claims for
support q fair and candid consldera-
ton. We believe the republicans
come before the electors with an ad-
mirable ticket, made up of good,
clean, honest and capable men, well
qualified for the different positions
for which they have been nominated.
Furthermore, we believe that the
sentiment among the people this
year is to give the republicans an in
ming, and that large number of
former Peoples party men and some
democrats will assist the republicans
to win a glorious victory. We are
confident that these men if elected
will give the people good and eff
Gent service.

DEMOCRATIC speakers in this cam
paign are constantly charging the re-
publican party with being domineered
by corporations and monopolies, but
they never say word about their own
party being in any way contaminated
by such influences. They never tell
us that j. J. Hill, the head of the
most powerful corporation in the
state, is a democrat, and generally
does, and in all probability does this
year, furnish the democratic cam
paign committee with the sinews Of
war" The liquor interest, the
most dangerous and baneful Of all,
is arrayed almost solidly on the dem
ocratic side. Why, the Crookston
Times last week says that Dan Aberle,
head Of prominent wholesale liquor
house Of st. Paul, and prominent
democratic politician, gave a pleasant
dinner party to John Lind at Hotel
Crookston on the previous Sunday. s
