DREW LOTS TO MURDER.
How Woman Was Put to Death by
Japanfse Laborers,

Honolulu, Dec. 20. via San Francisco.
Dec Sl.--This has been a red letter week
in the Japanese colony for murders and
suicides.
Wednesday morning most atrocious
murder took place at Waialua Three
Japanese laborers drew lots to see which
should murder little woman, whom they
had determined should die. 1t fell to the
lot of the womans husband, who was one
of the three. The others were his cous-
ins. Taking the woman away from the
plantation ostensbly to come to Homo
lulu, secluded spot was reached and
there the brute struck the little creature
down with club and left her dead
In a few hours the police found the cor
rect trail and next day arrested the three
men. A confession has since been made
by one of them. They are now in Oahu
prison, and will be tried on the charge
of murder in the first degree.
In .--e first of the week a Japanese la
borer cut his throat and crawled under
his house in Honolulu to die. He had had
trouble with a woman
On Friday two men entered the shop of
a storekeeper named kimura, in the
Japanese quarter, knocked him down and
cut his throat in such a manner as to
cause death. The murderers, both of
whom are Japanese, have not yet been
caught.

MRS. B0TKIN STILL HOPES
THE NEXT MOVE is AN APPEAL TO
THE SUPREME COURT.
The Fight for Her Liberty VIII Be Made
on Question of Jurisdiction for
the First Time.

San Francisco, Dec. 31.-Mrs. Cordalia
J. P. Dunning and her sister in Dover,
Del, is an inmate of the branch county
Jail. She became hysterical shortly af-
ter her arrival there last night and was
calmed with difficulty, but she recov-
cred her usual sang froid to-day and
has taken hope from the promises of
her attorneys, who have stated that
they will stand by their client to the
end. Their next move in the case will
probably be an appeal to the supreme
court, as it is certain that Judge Cook
will deny their petition for a new trial,
thus casting the case into the higher
court for settlement. The attorneys for
the defense took number of exceptions
during the trial and hope to make capi-
tai out of these when it makes it's at
tempt to secure reversal.
The real fight for Mrs. Botkin's lib
erty, however, will be made upon the
question of jurisdiction The proSecu-
tion was conducted under the provis-
ions of section n of the penal code, pro-
viding for the punishment of crimes
committed in whole or in part in this
state. The defense contends that as the
outcome of the crime really took place
in Delaware, that Mrs. Botkin was only
liable to the law of that state. 1t is be-
lieved that this question has never been
presented to the appellate court in this
country. Judge Cook has fixed next
Saturday as the day for imposing SEN

SORRY HE TRADED WIVES
FOUR ACRES OF ONIONS THROWN IN
TO BOOT.
The Oregon Farmer Got the Worst of
the Matrimonial Deal-She Took
All of His Cash.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 31.-Frank
Burton, an Oregon farmer, a year ago
traded four acres of onions and his wife
for the wife of Frank Hall, a neighbor.
Now he is sorry, for he has neither wife
nor onions.
Mrs. Hall was a large. powerful wo-
man, while Mrs. Burton was slight and
pretty. Burton wanted to go to Klondike
in 1897 and wanted strong partner to
share his venture. He looked upon Mrs.
Hall and coveted her. Finally he pro-
posed to Hall that they trade wives Hall
agreed but demanded something to boot,
and Burton at last agreed to give Mrs.
Burton and four acres of onions for Mrs
Hall.
The bargain was closed, and as neither
woman made any objection, Burton and
his bride went to Alaska. Mrs. Hall
Burton proved a phenomenal worker, and
fortune smiled on the couple. When they
CLEANED up this spring they had soma
thing more than $1,000. Mrs. Halliburton
in whose name their mine stood, sold out,
and giving Burton $500, she kept the bal
ance and decamped, no one knows where
That is why Burton is now alone on a
farm near Sylvan, Ore. Mrs. Burton-Hall
and Mr.. Hall are apparently happy.

1.-THE people of Cuba. without regard
to previous affiliations, are invited and
urged to cooperate in these objects by
the exercise of moderation, concila-
tion and good will one toward another;
and a hearty accord in our humanitar-
ian purposes will insure a kind and
beneficent government.
1.-THE military governor of the islands
will also be pleased to confer with
those who may desire to consult him on
matters of public interest"
The text of the proclamation has been
cabled to Washington and has been ap-
proved.

Sacramento, Cal, Dec. sl.-The Califor-
MIA legislature will commence its biennial
session here on Monday, Jan. 2. A United
States senator to succeed Stephen NJ.
White will be elected by the legislature
this year, and as that body is over
whelmingly republican man from that
party will be chosen. The legislature
stands: S5 republicans, II democrats, %
fusionists and one independent, made up
as follows: Senate-26 republicans. DEM
ocrats and fusonists. Assemhly--59 re-
publicans, democrats, Is fusionists and l
independent democrat. On joint ballot
the republicans will have a majority of

gal holiday in this state and nothing ex-
cept the perfunctory assembling of the
legislature will be done on that day. On
Tuesday the legislature will organize and
on the following Tuesday will vote to
elect a senator. Probably during the
week the republicans will make an at
tempt to caucus on some one candidate.
There are a number of asprants for the
position, most of them prominent in state
politics. Among the ayowed candidates
are U. S. Grant, jr., who for more than
year has been making an active canvass
throughout the state; Van S. Peterson, ex-

nounced that he would be glad to be
elected senator, but will make no contest.
D. NJ Burns. a mine owner and racing
man, although he has not yet admitted
that he Is a candidate. is very promnens-
ly mentioned. Mr.. Burns has been a
power in republican politics in California
for some years, but his alleged candidacy
for the senate has called forth violent
opposition from the leading republican
journals of the state M. II. De
Young, proprietor of the Chronicle, has
also been mentioned as a candidate, and
is believed to have considerable strength,
provided that he announces that lie is a
candidate which he has not yet done.
