San Francisco. Oct. 5.-Governor Budd
this afternoon decided that Mrs. Cor
della Botkin must go to Delaware to
stand trial for the murder OF Mrs. John
+. Dunning and Mrs. Joshua Deane.
He Will honor the requisition of the
governor of Delaware and order the is
suance of his warrant for the delivery
of Mrs. Botkin to Detective Mcvey
the agent OF the state Of Delaware
Last Saturday Chief of Police Lees re-
ceived the news that requisition papers
were here and on Monday they were
submitted to Governor Budd. To-day
he gave his opinion.
He said two questions which had re-
ceived his careful consideration rre-
sented themselves. First. could Mrs.
Botkin be tried In this state for the
murder? Second. was she legally n
fugitive from the Justice of a state in
which she had never been? There was
a wide divergence OF opinion among
attorneys as to whether or not she
could be tried here. There was but
one supreme court decision upon the
question of her being a fugitive, and in
that case two Justice held that the de-
fendant was and three that she was
not The governor did not believe that
she was. but thought the law should
be tested. and II IL be defective, IL could
be amended.
For that reason he would issue the
requisition papers and Mrs Botkin's
attorneys could carry the matter to the
supreme court on habeas corpus.

On the Columbia river we saw the

tose Of getting the insects. And if when
we want to FISH for men we could only
have the right kind Of bait, they will
spring out above the food Of their sins
and sorrows TO reach 10. The Young
Men Christian associations Of America
will also do part Of the work. They are
going TO take the young men Of this ma
ton for God. These institutions seem
in better favor with God and man than
ever before. Business men and capital
lists are awaking 10 the fact that they
can do nothing better in the way OF liv-
ing benefcence or in last will and tesla
ment than 20 do what Mr.. MaTquand
did for Brooklyn when he made the
Young Men Christian palace possible.
These institutions will get our young
men all over the land into a stampede
for heaven. Thus we will all in some
way help on the work, you with your
ten talents, with five, somebody else
with three. Il is estimated that 20 irri-
gate the arid and desert lands Of Ameri-
ca as they ought to be irrigated, it will
cost about 500, O0O 900 to gather the
