NO WINE FOR
 THE CRUISER
Protest Against the Ceremony of Breaking a Bottle at
 Launching.
Women who Think the Japanese Custom of Freeing Doves Would
 Be Enough.

If the California Women's Christian Association has it's way, the Japanese cruiser Chitose will have noFwine dripping from it's brow when it takes its first dip in the waters of the bay this morning. According to Japanese custom. as the wine bottle breaks on the iron front two doves will be released. The ladies think the freeing of the birds will constitute enough ceremony. They would have no wine spilled. but would desire the office for which Miss Budd has been selected purely honorary. They have formulated a protest, signed on behalf of the union by B. Sturtevant Peet (president, Dorcas J. Spencer Corresponding secretary and Rose NJ. French. This has been sent to Irving M. Scott of the Union Iron Works. It is as follows:
 '"The California Womens Christian
 Temperance Union, speaking for
 thousands of mothers of this State
 esteem it an honor to protest against
 long-established usage, and would
 respectfully call your attention to the
 Japanese custom of freeing a dove as
 feature in the ceremony of launch
 ing a ship. Wine is dangerous too
 while the dove is world-recognized
 emblem of peace. To free the dove
 instead of breaking bottle of wine,
 as is our custom upon similar occa-
 sions, would be happy innovation,
 and at the same time complimentary
 to the custom of the nation for whom
 the ship to be launched January 2,
 1898, Is constructed.
 Letters, with copies of the protest. have been sent to Miss L. Budd, niece of the Governor, who is to christen the cruiser: to her mother, and also to Mrs Irving M. Scott; and 1t js pointed out that af Kasagi at the Cramps shipbuiIdine Q yards recently the breaking of wine was dispensed with.
 It is not believed that any change in the original programme will result from this protest, as wine has always been used on similar occasions at the Iron Works without evil effect, so far as noticed. The wine was observed to mingle with such an expanse of water that it was hopeless ly diluted-the water saline at that

The Residence'of William Burke Thoroughly
 RanSacked.
Two Ex-COnvictS Enter the House Unknown to the
 Servant Girl.
STEAL VALUABLE JEWELS
A Portion of Their Booty Is Found in a Mission Street Pawn
 shop.

Detectives Silvey and Byram are look ing for a brace of clever burglars who entered the residence of William Burke at Washington and Franklin streets and stole jewelry and silverware valued at 5000. An entrance was effected by opening the front door with a skeleton key. MT. Burke and his family were absent, having gone to the theater In the house at the time were the servant and sick woman, who was a friend of Mrs. Burke. The former was sitting in the kitchen when the burglars en- tered. After opening the front door, un- known to the servant, they quietly walked upstairs to the bedroom occu- pied by Mrs. Burke. With the aid of jimmy" they broke open the bureau drawers, taking a miscellaneous assort- ment of jewelry and silverware, belong ing to the family. The burglars, after securing the booty, walked downstairs and emerged from the house without disturbing the occupants.
 It was not until Mir. Burke and his wife returned to their home that they discovered that the house had been en- tered by burglars. They at once re ported the burglary to the police, and Silvey and Byram were detailed to ar rest the house breakers.
 Last night the detectives found some of the stolen silverware in a pawnshop on Mission street, where it had been dis posed of by the burglars. They took it to police headquarters and turned it over to Captain Bohen.
 From the description given of the men who disposed of the stolen prop erty the detectives are convinced that they are two ex-convicts, who were re- gently released from San Quentin after serving a short sentence for burglary committed in this city.
 Last evening the description of the burglars was read off to the officers of both stations with instructions to ar rest them if found. They are regarded as desperate characters, and likely to resort to murder if cornered while com mitting a crime.

PIONEER AND MINER.
Sketch of the Successful Career
 of Isaac L. Requu.


 Chief among the men who have aided materially in the development of the great mining resources of California none IS more conspicuously prominent than Isaac L. Requa. This gentleman has been identified with all the prin- cipal mining companies in the State, and on questions pertaining to this subject he is a recognized authority. MT Requa Is man of great force of character and a shrewd business man, qualities which have enabled him to amass very considerable fortune.
 MT. Requa is 65 years of age, but he IS as active as many men of 30. He arrived in San Francisco in 1850 and at once engaged in mining. He was at various times superintendent of the Union Mill and Mining Company of Virginia City, Chollar, PCtosi. Norcross and Savage mines. He succeeded in sink ing vertical shaft 3250 feet in the Saw age mine. which was in many respects wonderful feat. He remained in Vir- ginia City until 1883, when he removed to his present home in Oakland. At the present time, besides holding large in- terests in many valuable mining prop critics. Mir. Requa Is president of the Central Pacific Railway and of the Oakland Bank of Savings. He owns one of the handsomest residences across the bay and Is known socially as a most hospitable entertainer. Among the builders of this great com monwealth MT. Requa holds a high place.

to the office of Dr. Hall for the express purpose of submitting to criminal oper- ation. Coakley accompanied her, and he said that in answer to his question the defendant told him that there would be no danger in his wife submitting to the operation. Mrs. Coakley, the witness continued, then went into the operating
 room and returned in a few minutes, ac- companied by Dr. Hall, who said that she would be well in a few days. In place of recovering, however, Mrs. Coakley be- came worse and died in a few days.
 Question after question had to be asked the witness to get him to tell all he knew about the commission of the crime, and his demeanor impressed all who listened to his story that he was more interested in his own welfare than in the fate of his wife. When he left the stand a motion was made by the assistant District At torney that the charge of murder against Coakley be dismissed. Judge Dunne then ordered the charge against him with drawn from the calendar and the prisoner discharged. This was done, and the man whose words had opened to him the gates of a prison looked greatly relieved.
 Whether or not Coakley's evidence will have great weight with the jury remains to be seen. His confession of yesterday was hardly compatible with many state ments he has made ons and off the stand, and it may not have the weight with the twelve men who now hold the fate of Dr. Hall in their hands the prosecution would like. Another weak point is that the wit ness did not see the operation performed.

A DESPERATE CHARACTER
William Devine, an Ex-Convict
 Held for Burglary.

William Devine, an ex-convict. was yes terday held to answer before the Supe- rior Court by Judge Conlan on a charge of burglary in 5000 bonds. He broke into the Webb House on Second street and stole a number of articles There is an- other charge of burglary against him, to be heard next week
 Devine's real name Is Tom Desmond and he is looked upon by the police as g desperate character. About ten years ago he broke into a jewelry store on Market street and a few days later De tective Bee discovered him in a pawn shop on Fourth street trying to sell a revolver. Bee placed him under arrest but he showed fight, and a desperate struggle followed for possession of the revolver. Desmond got Bees right thumb between his teeth and bit it to the bone, and Bee carries the mark to this day. Bee finally laid him out and handcuffed him.

FancieS He Can Fool the Democratic Central
 Committee.
Trying to Induce Its Members to Resolve in Favor of
 Annexation.
DEMOCRATS ARE ANGRY.
They Cite the Fact That Representa- lives at Washington and at Home
 Oppose the Scheme.

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald is particularly busy. Ever since he un- dertook the task of annexing Hawaii with its thousands of coolie workmen little above slaves, he has kept himself employed. Yesterday, however, he was sprinting around the corridors of hotels buttonholing gentlemen from interior towns. Having secured a grip and for cibly borrowed unwilling ears, he poured into them some fervid words. For be it known the Commissioner had been struck by thought. In his mind he could see his coolies annexed and flooding the State.
 The gentlemen he was chasing were members of the Democratic Central Committee. They are to meet next Saturday, and are already drifting in so as to be able to enjoy Jubilee week. Fitzgerald has an idea he can induce them to adopt a resolution indorsing annexation and calling upon Califor- nia's Democratic members in Congress to vote for 1t. Where Fitzgerald got this remarkable notion has not been eX- plained, and that it will in all likeH- hood be rudely knocked out of him does not need to be explained.
 Senator White has not only declared against the Dole Morgan Huntington scheme, but Is looked upon as a tower of strength in opposing it. His voice has been raised in no uncertain tone, and even a proposition from so dis tinguished a source as Fitzgerald might fail to change his views all at once Congressman Mcguire and Congress- man De Vries take the same stand as the Senator. This being the attitude of California Democrats at the capital, the magnitude of the Fitzgerald con- tract can be appreciated and a sugges- tion of it's cheekiness revealed.
 Governor Budd is against annexa- ton and in this is upheld by a great majority of the Democratic coast pa pers. The position taken by the Ex- aminer is of no moment as that sheet is not recognized as Democratic and is in no sense regarded as a leader nor a safe adviser.
 Personally the Labor Commissioner, 1t is said among politicians, can exer- else no influence, as he is believed to have used the cloak of office to cover an expedition to the islands not taken for the purpose of subserving the in terests of labor. but exactly the con- trary. Much indignation is expressed among Democrats over the misdirected zeal which if not absurdly futile would, they affirm, tend to put the chosen rep resentatives of the party in an awk- ward predicament.

COAKLEY TURNS
 STATES EVIDENCE
Accuses Dr. Samuel Hall of Having Caused the Death
 of His Wife.
Charge of Murder Against Him Was Then Dismissed by the Dis
 trict Attorney.

John Coakley, husband of Mrs. Ida Coakley, whom, 1t is alleged, was mur- dered by pr. Samuel H. Hall, turned States evidence yesterday and accused the defendant of having performed the operation that caused the death of his wife. The confession of Coakley dropped like a thunderbolt on the head of the de- fendant, but he will fight the case to the end. In the proceedings against Dr. Hall last Thursday Coakley was put on the stand. but nothing of importance could be wrung from his lips. When he left the stand the prosecution stated that it had closed it's case, and Tn consequence a con- tinuance was granted until yesterday morning. Thursday evening, however, Coakley signified a desire to turn State's g evidence, and when the case against Hall was called yesterday morning Assistant District Attorney Hinkle asked the court to permit the reopening of the prosecu- ton that Coakley might be further ex- anined.
 The defense objected. but Judge Dunne overruled the objection and allowed Coakley to be called to the stand Coak- ley then nervously walked to the witness chair and took a seat. The prosecuting attorney questioned him regarding the operation that caused his wife's death. The witness answered that his wife went

and his knowledge of it as merely hear

and his knowledge of it as merely hear say.
 After Coakley left the stand the de- fense made its opening statement. pr. Webster Of Oakland was then put on the stand as an expert He testified to the fact that the wound that is said to have caused Mrs. Coakley's death might have been administered a week or more prior to her taking off According to the statement of Coakley on the stand the operation was performed but two days prior to the death of his wife, and the suddenness of her death, in the opinion of the physician, might have been brought about by some constitutional difficulty augmented by the effects of such an oper- ation as it is claimed was performed on Mrs. Coakley. Death in such cases sell dom results as quickly as Coakley claims the physician testified, unless some other cause or disease existed. The defense still is confident that the case is not lost and believes that matters will look much brighter for pr. Hall when their side of the case is ready for the deliberation of the jury.
