From the Times Herald, Chicago. III.
Late In 1861, when President Lincoln is
sued a call for volunteers, L. ]. Clark, OF
Warren, Trumbull Co., Ohio, was among
the first to respond. He Joined the mortar
fleet Of Admiral Porter just before the me-
morable operations on the Mississippi River
began. 1t was at the terrific bombardment
Of the vicksburg forts. that the hero OF this
story fell with shattered arm from a
charge OF schrapnel.
After painful months in the hospital, he
recovered sufficiently to be sent to his home
at Warren, Ohio. Another call for troops
fired his patriotic zeal and Clark soon en-
listed in Company II, of the 7th Ohio Vol
unteers. In the army Of the Potomac, he
was In many engagements. Being wounded
In skirmish near Richmond, he was sent
to the hospital and thence home.

ivak Island the Indian wife of hum
ter and trader named Marstem return
ed to Nunivak from Kuskowim, where
she had been visiting relatives, and re-
ported that when the steamer Jessie
and barge Minerva went ashore in the
breakers large number of Indians
were on the beach and rendered assist
ance in getting the whites ashore and
saving supplies from the barge. After
being comfortably camped the Indians
demanded a large portion Of the sup
plies, which, according to the Indian
woman's story, was refused. A few
nights later, while all were asleep, the
Indians made rush on the camp,
killing the entire party, including Mis-
sionary Weber, his wife and child. Af-
ter the massacre the bodies were strip

PARIS, Nov. 22.-The Spanish Peace
Commissioners last night telegraphed
to Madrid the substance of the United
States memorandum presented yester-
day, and late last evening they were
discussing it among themselves. As
late as / o'clock this morning a Span
ish Commissioner affirmed that his
colleagues did not know what to do
regarding the American offer
There is a difference of opinion
among unofficial people near the COM
missions, but the prediction is made
that Spain will decline to accept the
American money offer; that she will
refuse to cede the Philippines, and will
say to the United States:
You may take the archipelago, be-
cause you have the power to do so.
AS you advance we will retire, pro-
testing against greedy aggression. We
will faithfully carry out our part OF
the pledges, and leave Cuba and Porto
Rico in your hands. You came here
to engage in a discussion under the
terms of the protocol, but you evidently
meant, when drawing up that docu-
ment to provide a conference in which,
though we differ man to man, you pro-
posed to announce at the proper time
what you will do, whether we agree
to it or object. Such an attitude robs
the conference of a negotiative char
acter, and sets up the United States as
a dominant Power whose first purpose
is to listen, but whose ultimate deter
mination is to do its own will"

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-Anoth-.
er mysterious highbinder murder was
committed tonight in Chinatown.
Wong Alb Jung, who belongs to the
Suey Ying faction of Chinese, was
walking up Clay street on his way
home, and had just passed the en-
trance of a. lodging house, when two
shots We're fired at him. One bullet en-
tered his head and caused almost in
stant death.
A search was made of the house in
which the murderers, supposed to be
two men who had been watching for
their victim, had disappeared, but the
place had eight exits, and nothing was
found except the pistol used, which
had been thrown into an ash barrel.
The murdered man is the fourth vic
tim of the Suey Sings since the exist
ing feud against the Suey Wings be-
gan.
A Chinese giving the name Of Pom
Men has been arrested on suspicion
of having fired the fatal shot.

LILLIAN BRANDEs' DEATH.
The Father and Step-Mother Are
Charged With Her Murder.

OAKLAND, Nov. 22.-The Coroner S
inquest in the case of Lillian Brandes
was held at Berkeley tonight. Neither
Brandes nor his wife were present.
During the afternoon there had been
mutterings and threats about the quiet
town that bode no good to the night
watchman Sheriff White heard of
them, and decided that to take BraIde5
to the inquest might so infiame the
people that trouble would ensue.
The streets about the Morgue at
Berkeley were densely packed.
The testimony developed two more
new and important points. j. S. Har-
vey, who had been employed by
Brandes testified that one morning last
week about 10 o'clock he had heard
Rrandes Beating Lillian Brandes, after
coming from his beat; had dragged his
child out of her bed and thrashed her.
This story was confirmed by the evil
dence of many neighbors.
Other witnesses, including Mrs. M.
M. Godfrey of Piedmont, who called at
the Brandes home last Tuesday on bus
mess, told the same story of Brandes'
brutality to his daughter.
The evidence of the physicians who
conducted the autopsy showed that
death had been caused by blows, and
not by strangulation.
DIR. G.. f. Whitworth, who was called
by Brandes, said he had not made a
careful examination Of the body.
After a short consultation the jury
returned the following:
I'VE, the jury, find that the name of
the deceased was Lillian Brandes; that
she was 13 years DID, nativity unknown,
and that she came to her death some
time between the hours of $3.50 p. M,
November 18th, and $50 a. M, Novenl-
Der 10Th, at 1924 Telegraph avenue,
Berkeley. and that death was caused
by injuries on the head inflicted by a
blunt instrument in the hands of w. A.

Gently substituted electricity for a ca
BILE system, and this line, which form

Honolulu inflicted with Typhoid.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-Major
General Merriam to-day completed his
report of the administration of the De-
partnient of Hawaii. He gives 1t as
his opinion that the city of Honolulu is
thoroughly infected with typhoid fever

possibly due to the men that were sent
from here with the disease, who were
taken off the transports ait Honolulu
and put in hospitals there. General
Kings departure abandons Camp Otis,
and General Merriam says it will not
be again occupied by troops. Camp
Mckinley has also been moved to new

MAIL CONTRACT BIDDERS.
An Obstacle Placed in the Way Of
Alleged SpecuIators.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-The POST
Office Department has placed a very
serious and perhaps inSurmountable
obstacle in the way of the alleged COM
bination of speculative mail contract
bidders, by prohibiting Postmasters
from certifying bonds of the bidders
unless the revenue stamp is affixed
thereto.
The Postmaster at Sedalia, Mo,
where considerable number of the
speculative bidders are located, tele-
graphed for instructions on this point,
the contract proposals requiring the
Postmaster to pass on the sufficiency
of the bond of the bidders in his juris~
diction. The following response, laying
down the law and the departmental
policy on the subject, was wired by
Second Assistant Postmaster General
Shallenberger:
Answering telegram, Section 755 or
the postal laws prohibits Postnasters
from approving bond before bond is
signed by bidder and sureties. The
revenue law prohibits the signing of a
bond without the bond having there-
upon the required revenue stamp
Therefore, you will not sign the certifl-
cate of approval of the bidder OF sure
ties until after the revenue stamp is
affixed to the bond.
