IN JURYS HANDS
No Verdict Reached at
Midnight.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALINAS. Nov. THE sole topic of
conversation in Salinas tonight is will
George Suisser, who killed Sheriff Farley
on the night of September IS, atone for
the act by capital punishment. The jury
in the case has already been celebrating
several hours and at the present time
there is no immediate prospect Of YER
dict. Knots of people were gathered to-
gether at various places discussing the
subject, while at the Courthouse con-
course of citizens male and female,
waited patiently for the jurors to decide.
The entire day was devoted to argu-
ment, most brilliant appeal being made
on both sides. District Attorney Andres
sen made a most telling argument this
afternoon in closing the case for the peo-
pie. G. F. Lacey for the defense related
the entire course Suisser pursued during
the three days before the fatality and
expostulated vehemently with the jury
that the poor wretch who committed the
crime was not responsible and further
more that the majority of the witnesses
for the defense were virtually negative
witnesses and hedged questions whenever
possible-So great was public opinion
against Suisser that they dare not try to
assist him.
Judge Dorm gave an exhaustive charge
to the jurors and at 4:45 they retired, to
the amazement of some, who thought the
jury balloted several times and at
o. clock went to supper. On their return
they could not agree and remained In
the same condition until a late hour to-
night. The jury was locked up at mid

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE Russian
ambassador, Count Cassini, who Is just
back from a long visit to Europe, was
seen at the Russian Embassy to-day and
talked in most entertaining manner on
international questions which have en-
gagged public attention. Count Cassini has
been prominently identified of late with
the Chinese situation, as 1t has been
stated that on his return here he would
make known to the President and Secre-
tary Hay the desire of the Continental
powers of Europe that the United States
should Indicate what port or sphere Of
influence in China 1t desires to occupy
Il saw many prominent public men
while in Europe, Including Count Mura-
you that this is the first time that have
heard that such q proposition was to be
submitted to the United States. In my
talks at st. Petersburg, Paris and else
where many phases of the Chinese sub
tect were discussed but nothing abso-
lutely nothing, occurred to warrant any
report that 1 individually, or with. others,
have any special inquiries to make con-
corning China To be sure. this and all
other current topics are informally dis
cussed, but II can be stated positively
that l return without any special mission
to perform and without instructions re-
lattng to China"
Count Cassini said It was difficult 20
understand the recent agitation over an
$50 far as Russia is concerned" said
he, her door stands open. The great
commercial port Of Talien-Wan has been
made free to the commerce Of the world
by formal proclamation
mo determinations are made against
the commerce of foreign countries, and
Russia enjoys no special privileges at this
port"
Concerning the identity Of Russian and
American interests in China, Count Cas-
SIM said Russia was now buying rails and
railroad supplies from the United States
to build the Trans Siberian Railway
through Manchuria; moreover, the EN-
bassador pointed out that there as else
where the traditional friendship between
the Russians and the Americans existed
AS to European sentiment concerning
the South African war, Count Cassin
said: "Of course all Europe is watching
this conflict with profound interest and
concern. But it Is the interest of OBJ
servers, and there is no suggestion or
thought of any Intervention or move of
any kind from outside quarters. The loss
Of life which is occurring is particularly
regrettable. and 1t is to the interest Of
all that peace should be speedily re-
stored 4"

VICE PRESIDENT
HOBART BETTER
Sits Up and Hears Elec-
ton News.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PATERSON, N. J.. Nov. AT late
hour tonight Vice President Hobarts
condition was reported to be more favor
able. 1t was stated at his house that Mr..
Hobart had been able to sit up in chair
a the window for short time and had
eaten some solid food, something that he
had not done in three weeks.
He was less nervous tonight than he
has been for some days, and his family
felt encouraged over his apparent i'm
proved condition. Dr. Newton, who re-
mained at the house tonight, would not
offer any encouragement as to the Vice
Presidents recovery
During the day Attorney General Griggs
called and had a short interview with the
Vice President. Mr.. Hobart was cheer
full and he told Mrs. Hobart that he hoped
to be able to take her out for drive be-
fore long.
1t was undoubtedly the best day the
Vice President has had for weeks. He
appeared greatly interested in the elec-
tions and inquired especially after the
Ohio result. He instructed his private
secretary to procure for him the earliest
possible returns from Ohio and the other
States. The early returns were furnished
him, but he did not remain awake for the
later news.

MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE.
Bartlett Irving Putsa Bullet Through
His Heart.

AUBURN. Nov. 7.-Bartlett Irving, a
popular young man, committed suicide
here to-day. He had been employed at
Zantgraf mine, but was in town on a
short vacation. Everything was appa-
rently well with him when last seen at 2
o'clock last night. He borrowed a pistol
from Arthur McMurray ostensibly for
protection and started for the Conroy Ho-
tel, where he roomed. There he left his
coat and vest and repaired to a vacant
house some distance away, where his
body was found this afternoon on the
back porch. His breast was barred and
an ugly wound covered the heart. The
bullet passed through the body and into
the woodwork of the building. The body
was first discovered by Miss Nellie
Prewitt, a daughter of Judge Prewitt,
while on her way, home. No motive has
yet been learned for the rash act. Young
Irving's parents reside at Placerville, and
he has a brother in Sacramento and a sis
ter in Oakland.

SAYS FILlPIN0S CAN
EASILY BE CRUSHED

FLORENCE, Ala. Nov. General Joe
Wheeler IN a letter to Hon. w. J. Wood
Of Florence. stating his views on the Phil
ippine question. says:
Il am delighted with the Philippine
Islands. I have no doubt that a little
push and energy this fail will crush out
the Aguinaldo insurrection. Out of
100000 Of people in these islands I do
not think that he has more than %, 900
soldiers and In a square fight 5000 Ameri-
cans would tear them to pieces. All that
IS necessary 10 crush them out at once Is
Tor the army to get at them and keep at
them until the work is done.
The evil features of these islands have
been exaggerated to our people. Their
extent is so great from north to south
and the variation of the altitude is such
that there is a great variety Of climate
and productions. Americans viii find this
an excellent field for their energies. and
The San Francisco call., 1899-11-08

the wealth producing powers of these isl
ands under American influence Will be
very great.
United States in asserting that the people
Of the Philippines ought to have inde-
pendence does a great deal of harm
and assists Aguinaldo in maintaining the
insurrectlon, as he publishes all asser,
tions by Americans of that character and
he tells his supporters that If they hold
cut until winter independence will be
given them. 1t also has a bad effect in
this-that the people We're disposed to be
favorable to US, and though desiring US
to govern the islands, fear to assert
themselves, because they know that if
they should do so and the Americans
should abandon them they would be in
q eat danger. Their lives and in all prob
ability their property would be coniis-
Gated.
"On the 9Th Of September had a little
fight with the enemy at this point, but II
d'd not amount TO much. although as i'm
pOrtant as some other engagements which
have been dignified in the papers as
fights. l am sorry TO say that much
which appears in the papers Of the United
States is gross eXaggeration. l expect
to be on hand for Congress"

FIRE IN THE HOLD.
Vessel Arrives at Boston With a
Cargo of Cotton Ablaze.

BOSTON, Nov. THE American tramp
steamer Winifred, commanded by Captain
Langhorne, arrived here to-day from
Galveston, October Is, with cotton in her
forward hold on fire. The vessels cargo
consists of $3.50 bales of cotton, consigned
to New England mills. On the second
day out from Galveston smoke was dis
covered issuing from the forward hatch.
Steam was at once injected into the hold
and by this means the fire was held in
check although not wholly extinguished.
The steamer continued on her way here
with the fire smoldering among the bales
Of cotton, but there was no danger to The
ship.
Just how serious the fire is cannot be
ascertained until some of the bales re
removed The value of the ships cargo
is about $3.50 900.

COURT MARTIAL FINDINGS

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE War De-

of the three volunteer soldiers court-mar-

death for assaults upon natives. While
no information as to the nature Of Gen
