THAT a hot fight makes a big vote
was again illustrated in Boston last
evening In the Democratic caucuses
for delegates 70 the convention for
mayor when in nearly every ward
practically every Democratic VOTER
turned out and in many OF the wards
The ballots east numbered more than
the total vote for all candidates at the
last municipal Ell !etion when everything
was tame. In behalf of the candidacy
OF the Hon. p. A. Collins on the one
hand and of the Hon. John r.. Murphy
on the other a goodly number of heads
have already been cracked and no end
of noses f1avc been tsrppcti7- tssrst ev-vrr-
ing the president OF the common cou,l-
Gil had his jaw broken and somebody
heayed brick orr something a. Alder
man Brick with temporarily disastrous
effects upon that gentleman. But such
wounds receives in the playfulness OF
a knock-down- and -drag-out political
fight are soon healed. Once the Bos-
ton Democracy has chosen its
candidate 1t will all vote to-
sether. And unless those par
icularly pious Republicans who have
made 1t possible for Boston To have a
Democratic administration take Of |
'ense at the character of the canvass

NOTHING Is more curious than the
current attempt on the part of the
Democratic press and certain luke
warm Republican contemporaries to
represent That the Republican partv
the Mckinley administration or the
people OF Ohio are eager to get rid of
the Hon. Mark Hanna so that the
party, the administration. and inciden-
tally the nation be duly and prom
erly saved. The latest canard goes so
far as 20 represent that our senator
Aldrich is slated for Hanna's Mace as
head of the Republican campaipn
forces. All this is ev. emily absurd .

Then Takes Strychnlne and S|ashes His
Own Threat.
The Woman Feigned Death and
Afterwards Escaped to a Neigh
bor's-Dan Donnelly is Dead and
There Are Mysterious Circum-
stances Surrounding His Shoot
ing.

GARFIELD CWash.), July IA hor-
rible tragedy occurred this morning five
miles west of this place A young man
named Roby Gragg cut the Threats of
his wife and lady guest and then took
big dose of strychnine and slashed
his own throat. At this writing all
three are alive but in a critical condi-
ton. Gragg is about 33 years Of age
and lives on farm. Yesterday he says
he detected his wife and neighbor
named Fitzgerald in a compromising
position to which act he believed his
wife's guest, Mrs. Maude Carroll of
Spokane, was an accomplice. Gragg
spent the night with a neighbor to
whom he told his troubles He said he
intended to go to Garfield in the morn
ing to arrange for a division of his
property and a separation from his
wife
About O'Clock he set out, stating he
would go by way of his home and
change his clothes. On arriving there
he asked his wife for his gun, and she
told him that she had hid it. He then
whipped out his pocket knife and at
tackled her. He slashed her throat and
face and stabbed her in the abdomen.
To escape further injury she feigned
death. She may recover. He then
made for the other woman and butch
cred her up in frightful manner.
After trying the knife on his throat lie
ran upstairs for his razor and both wo-
men. streaming with blood and in their
night lothes, fled to a neighbours.
Gragg used the razor on his own
throat, almost severing the windpipe.

LANDING OF DREYFus.
A Complete Surprise to the Admir-.
al and Other Authorities.

BREST France). July 1.-The Sfax
has just been signaled passing Sey ISL
and about three hours distant outside
of Brest
The landing of Dreyfus at Quiberon
was complete surprise to the Admiral
and other authorities here. who even
now have not yet been officially noti-
fed of the fact
When the Sfax arrived in the haarbor,
Admiral Barrera refused all requests
for permission to board her tonight
and gave orders that no one is to en-
bark or dlsembark from the cruiser I'M
til tomorrow. Little interest Is dis
played here. Only a few people are
clustered about the quays and promen-
AIDES overlooking the harbor.
LONDON, July 1.-The Pail Mall
Gazettes' account of the landing of
Dreyfus says:
He was almost entirely hidden by
hooded cloak and as there was no
light beyond few lanterns it was only
possible to catch the. barest glimpse CT
his unkempt gray beard and haggard,
. anxious features. Amid a few timid
cries of 'Abas Dreyfus,' which the gem
darmes Immediately silenced, he en-
| tered a carriage which drove to the
station as rapidly as the intense dark
ness permitted"

RECIPROCITY TREATY.
That With Jamaica Concluded at
the State Department.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The recipro-
city treaty with Jamaica was concluded
at the State Department to-day at q
conference between Commissioner Kas-
son, in behalf of the United States, and
Mr.. Tower, the British Charge DAT
flares. The Jamaican treaty is now TO
be forwarded to Kingston for the APP
prevail of the colonial authorities. The
jamaican tariff commission left this af-
ternoon, going first to Ottawa to con-
fer with the Canadian authorities. All
parties concerned have been placed un.
der the, strictest reserve, as it is said
that the discussion of details of the
convention just concluded might prove
prejudicial in both countries. 1t is
known. however, that the convention
concluded to-day is under section four
of the Dingley tariff law, providing for
reciprocity treaties and is not a merA
arrangement, as provided for by. sec
ton 81 Of the Act. The concessions
given to Jamaica differ materially from
those allowed other British West In
dian colonies, mainly because or the
recent tariff law enacted by Jamaica,
which had special application to the
United States.

DAN DCNNELLY IS DEAD.
Considerable Mystery Surrounds
His Shooting.

FRESNO, July dan Donnelly,
who was shot in Chinatown early Tues
day morning, died at IL o'clock this
morning from the effects of his wounds
There is considerable mystery sur
rounding the shooting. AT the time he
was shot Donnelly claimed he had been
robbed in a house of ill-repute and
when he accused a woman of the theft,
he was shot at by unknown parties.
Donnelly took to his heels and ran, but
was pursued by Jack Brooks, a bar
tender in the Favorite saloon. Brooks
admits pursuing Donnelly, but claims
the latter fired at him first
Officer Tony Rice also took a hand in
the shooting, and it was thought at the
time that the officer had fired the fatal
shot, as the bullet extracted from Don
nelly's abdomen was of A caliber, the
same as that fired by Rice
The District Attorney swore to a
complaint charging Charles Ardwell,
manager of the Golden West saloon,
with murder 1t is claimed that Ar
dell also used A caliber pistol and
fired the fatal shot.
Jack Brooks was also charged with
murder.

CLASH DID NOT OCCUR.
Nippon Maru Withdrew Again Into
the Stream

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The an
ticipated clash between the Federal ard
local health authorities regarding the
steamer Nippon Maru, supposed to be
infected with the bubonic plague. did
not occur. The agents of the Japanese
Steamship Company, recognizing that
they could not proceed with the landing
of freight in opposition to the orders Of
the police force stationed on. the dock
expressly to prevent such action with
drew the vessel into the stream. There
was a sharp war Of words while this
was being done, but no attempt was
made to ignore the orders of the Board
of Health.
This afternoon the vessel was again
thoroughly fumigated, this time by or
der of the State Board of Health. 1t
is understood shewill not again attempt
to make landing until the expiration
of the legal time limit The passengers
and crew are still detained at the quar-
antine station on Angel Island. where
they will probably be kept for the full
time required by law, in order that no
infectious germs may BIZ brought into

The weeping wife acknowledged the
courtesy with which she has been
treated. The gendarme who was or
dered to be present at the interview
carried out instructions and kept at
discreet distance
The Sfax had several plates and her
bulwarks slightly damaged by the
heavy bump Of the Caudan against her
sides when DreyfuS was transferred,
the sea- being very rough. The only
incident of the arrival of the prisoner
at Brest was the cheering by two
sloops manned by boys belonging to the
training ship Borda, which passed the
Sfax as she was proceeding to her
mooring.
Commander Cof1iniere landed alone
this evening, and proceeded to the resi-
dence of Admiral Barrera, with whom
he had a half hours interview
In the course of a conversation had
with him late Tonight by the represen-
tative of the Associated Press. the Ad-
miraI said:
Until this afternoon I had no in
structions respecting the Sfax: bur now
that Commander Coffiniere has landed,
1 am enabled to give you few details.
First of all, Dreyfus has been in the
best of health during the voyage, and
has had an excellent appetite. He was
given an officers cabin, which was es-
pecially arranged for his convenience
This cabin has not been changed in any
way, and Tomorrow newspaper men
