WILL RECEIVE EXTRA PAY
POST OFFICE CLERKS WILL BE
REMUNERATED.
Night Work to he Paid for at the Same
Rate as Regular Day Duty-Thomas
Throws Up His JOU.

The clerks in the post office are to
be paid extra for night work. Here
tofore in the case of steamers arriving
at night all the employees of the de-
partment have been forced to duty to
all sorts of hours without extra pay.
For some time the injustice of the ar
rangement has been apparent to every
body in town. At the session this
morning the Cabinet took up a recon-
mediation of the Postmaster General
that the clerks in the Office be paid
extra for extra time on duty. There
was little argument on the question.
II was voted unanimously. There will
now be schedule of so much per
hour for each man while on extra or
additional duty.
f. b. Thomas has thrown up his job
as contractor to build the addition to
the station house. His original bid,
which was accepted, was S5,S49. He
has since written the Cabinet that
there was mistake in the figures and
that his figures should have been &c.
$40. AT its session this morning the
Cabinet decided to declare all bids off
and to reopen them again. The Min
lister of Interior was accordingly in
structed to call for new tenders.
The sum of $4,000 was authorized
to be expended for the new sewerage
system. This represents the expenses
Immediately ahead. As more money
is needed it will he appropriated i'm the
same way.
Minister King is still indisposed and
will not likely appear in the Cabinet
councils in some days to come.

TERRIBLE CRIMES

Murder Of a Young Man and His Two
Sisters and the Most Fiendish
MutiIation Of Their Bodies.
BY j. MARTIN MILLER.

Special Correspondence of The Cali.
The San Francisco call., 1899-02-09

U. S. Grant for the Senatorship. Sym~
pathy for Grant, or sympathy for both
Green and Grant, calls the Collector to
sacramento. Before he is here twenty
four hours he will find that Green has
a much better chance of going to Jail
tnan Grant has of going TO the SEN
ate.
There is talk tonight that Green will
go to jail, as he has made up his mind
tnat he will not answer the questions
propounded to him. The intimation is
broadly thrown out that such an ac-
counting of the disbursement of money
as Green could give to the Assembly
under oath would not conform to the
accounting made to his principal who
supplied the money. The sum of $780,
0OO was mentioned in the testimony as
having been diSbursed for Grant in the
various legislative districts of Califor-
MIA, but aside from the amount paid
to Jilson and Wright, very little is
known as to the disbursement. If the
San Diego bank managers were called
and compelled to- produce the accounts
kept with Grant the expenditure of the
remaining s28,0 might be traced The
theory is gaining strength that Green
is recalcitrant for his own protection
rather than for the protection of Grant.
In anticipation of a break from Grant
and Burns there is talk tonight that
Timothy Guy Phelps of San Mateo and
Judge Van r. Paterson of San Fran
cisco will have rods in position to catch
the lightning. Charles NJ. Leavy, for
merly of the Custom House of the me-
tropolis, is said to be the advance agent
of Mr.. Phelps.
He is here taking observations of the
situation. Paterson was voted for
early in the contest and was therefore
once recognized as a Senatorial possi-
bility
1t is the judgment of many onlookers
tonight that General Barnes prospects
were never brighter than they are now.
To-day and yesterday he received
many assurances of support to be given
when the lines of the contest are re-
adjusted.
Many members of the Legislature are
making arrangements to leave Sacra-
mento Immediately after the joint bal
lot next Friday and remain away until
Monday next. Several comittees have
planned to visit State institutions south
of Tehachapi. A pressure is exerted
this evening to induce Legislators to
postpone long-distance Journeys until
the deadlock is broken. There is a gen.
eral feeling that important events are
impending and that the break from
Grant and Burns may come suddenly
1t is the desire of all the candidates
that their friends should be on the
scene of action when the events occur
This evening the signs point to con-
tinuation of the deadlock throughout
the present week, yet the members who
are planning to leave here next Friday
will want positive assurance before
leaving that nothing will be done to
disturb the existing situation while they
are absent.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SAC
RAMENTO, Feb. S.-U. S. Grant can
not win this Senatorial battle, neither
can d. NJ. Burns 1t is not possible for
either candidate to advance more than
one or two steps if, indeed, any ad-
vance whatever can be made. A Re-
publican Senator can be elected when
both agree to retire. The expression
of this sentiment comes from every
section of California. Irving M. Scott
who has been here several times and
made thorough study of the situation,
has about concluded that he cannot
break the deadlock, and he is not sure
that if the lock were broken that the
scattered forces would come to him in
any considerable numbers. Taking
this view of the outlook, he may de-
eide to give no further consideration to
the Senatorship.
Influences have been brought to bear
to bring Van r. Paterson into the field
again. Word is given out that he would
be able to enlist the support of several
Democratic members of the Legisla-
ture, provided the Republicans would
bring him somewhat near the winning
tonight to the effect that Senator Tay-
lor of Alameda and Assemblyman La
Baree sympathize with the aspirations
of Mr.. Paterson and would be among
the first to accord him their support
provided he should consent to re-enter
the race.
Indications tonight point to a break
in the deadlock early next week. Grant
comprehends that he cannot win the
Senatorship this trip, and would con-
sent to the support of some Republican
other than D. M. Burns. The Grant
forces, however, will remain firm as
long as Burns is in the field The
colonel is said to be willing to con-
cede anything for the election of a
United States Senator except the cleo
tion of Grant.
The failure of the Grant-Perkins
scheme, to bring Senators Stratton and
Taylor and Assemblyman Knowland
into line, has proved a great disap-
pointment to the friends of the San
Diego candidate. Moreover the Ala
media legislators are incensed at the re-
peated suggestion that they could be
managed and shifted by the plots and
tricks of politicians. Senator Stratton
resents the assertion of the Grant
boomers that he is ready to desert the
standard of General Barnes.
Colonel John P. Jackson. Collector of
the Port of San Francisco, arrived to-
night and Immediately sought the
apartments of Grant In the Golden
Eagle Hotel. He was promptly ushered

Both girls had their hands tied behind

The matter was reported to the police,
and the bodies were subsequently taken
to Cation. The new of the tragedy
spread like wildfire through the sur
rounding country, and during the day
large numbers visited the paddock in
which the bodies were discovered. Had
the police taken proper steps, however,
this would not have been allowed, and
the officers are as harshly criticized by
the colonial press as the law of libel in

excellent one for tracking purposes, the
soil being fairly soft, and the ground
we'll covered with small sticks and dry
leaves. The traffic which has been al

BRISBANE, Queensland (Australia),
Jan. 16.-One of the most mysterious
and horrible crimes of the century, in
any part of the world, when all its
CHASTITY features of outrage, mutilated
bodies, unspeakable acts and the mur-
der of the victims are considered, was
committed on the night of Christmas in
one of the most highly civilized colonies
of Australasia. The criminals have not
as yet been apprehended. 1t was a tri-
pie murder, and the victims were g.
brother and two sisters.
The scene of the crime was within a
short distance of the quiet little town
ship of Cation, farming center on the
Southern and Western Railway, sixty
one miles from Brisbane. the capital Of
the colony Of Queensland.
The circumstances surrounding the
tragedy are of a horrible nature. It ap-
pears that the victims-Michael Muir
ply, aged twenty-nine years, and his
two sisters, Nora and Ellen, aged twen-
ty-seven and eighteen years respective
ly, left their home, situated on Black
fellows Creek, about seven miles from
Cation, early in the evening of Christ
mas Monday to attend a dance that
had been arranged for in the township.
Upon reaching Cation it was found
that on account of the promoters being
unable to procure musicians, the func-
tion had lapsed.

MANILA, Feb. o.-The Fill
pinos at Caloocan opened fire
last evening just before midnight
upon the Kansas outposts on the
extreme left of the American line.
They maintained a fusillade of
musketry, supplemented by an
occasional shot from two big
guns, for about twenty minutes.
The Americans did not reply.
MANILA, Feb. 8. Last
evening, as the Filipinos at Ca
loocan were evidently massing
for night attack upon the
American left wing, the Twenti-
:eth Kansas Infantry was ordered
to attack and drive the sharp
shooters from a bamboo jungle
in front of the firing line, where
they had caused considerable an
noyance all the afternoon. The
battalion charged brilliantly,
driving the enemy like chaff and
penetrating to the very heart OF
.Caloocan.
First Lieutenant A. c. Afford,
as cabled last night, was killed
while leading his company. He
was shot in the forehead.
Sergeant Jay Sheldon, Com
pany I, was seriously wounded.
-, Privates Daniel Healitt, Ern-
est Fritz, John Gillian and two
other members of Company B
were also slightly wounded.
Thirty dead Filipinos were
counted in the brush, and there
were many more injured. The
gunboats Concord and Callao
kept up an inceSsant fire from the
bay, the Concord dropping many
shells into the town with telling
effect. In order to avoid acci-
dents from this source, General
Otis was compelled to recall the
Kansas battalion, after burning
the outskirts of the town. Either

ships or the natives themselves

he carefully examined the tracks, with
the result that he came to the conclu-
sion that they had been made by, the
trap in which the young people had
been riding. Following the tracks for
about half mile, he made a CHASTITY
and sickening discovery. On the side
of spur, thinly timbered and dry-look-
ing, he found the dead bodies -of the
three young people who had left their
home the previous evening, all in good
health and spirits.
The spectacle that the corpses pre-
sented was a horrible one. All three
had their skulls broken in. Nora, who
was found lying on a rug just at the
foot of a large gum tree. had names
strap tied tightly around her throat
and as a result of blows across the
head portions of her brains were pro-
truding. Subsequent examination
showed that the lower portion of the
