A DESERTED CHILD.

By cable from London comes the news
of a child deserted by its almost royal
relatives and in danger of going to the
workhouse for the lack of support. The
story is told by Miss NJ. Canning, super
intendent of the Ings House Hospital in
London. Miss Canning says that three
years ago the Baroness de Buren, al
legged to be a relative by marriage Of the
late Empress of Austria, came to the
hospital with a girl not over 16 years Of
age, who, the Baroness said. was her
sister. She wanted the girl cared for and
the hospital for three months, during
which time baby girl was born to her.
This child was left in charge of Miss
Canning, who says she was told to take

says, until now she is in. destitute cir

larceny for having swindled Cornelius

Rood had been on trial for many days
before Judge Lawlor and the jury named

SAYS HE WILL NOT RE-ENTER
POLITICAL LIFE.

Judge James G. Mcguire fatty de-
MES the many rumoTs that have been in
circulation during the past week to the
effect that he will be a candidate for
Mayor at the coming election. He states
that he does not intend to enter political
life during the next campaign or any OF
the following campaigns. The rumors and
statements to the contrary that have been
lately set afloat have been a source of
annoyance to Judge Mcguire and when
interviewed last night on the subject the
Judge vehemently denied the rumors.
There is absolutely no truth in the

so great was the headway of the flames.
The fire first swept up the back end of
the building and licked it's way to the
many departments Smoke was pour
ing densely from every window and
soon leaped high above the structure.
One alarm after another was rung
in. Traffic on Mission and Market
streets was suspended by cars and the
thousands of people hurrying to the
scene of the confiagration. Fire lines
were hastily strung, but as the fire in
creased in volume the police were
forced to draw their clubs and drive the
curious mob of spectators back to en-
able the fremen to work. In Fremont
street for the first half hour disorder
reigned supreme. Above the roar of the
blaze could be heard the voices of fire
men shouting unintelligible orders.
Ladders were hastily run up the sides
of the building and as hurriedly with
drawn, owing to the intense heat and
dense smoke.
Finally the water tower was backed
up in front of the blazing structure and
tons Of water were poured into the
building. The fight of the elements
had commenced in earnest. At about
the same time lines of hose were at
tached to the standpipes on the Sacra-
mento building and the fire was thus
fought from the rear. A half dozen
streams were poured in, but in the face
of the vast wall Of flame they appeared
useless. Wherever a stream struck
there would be an almost indistinguish-
able kissing noise, a few sparks would
fly up and that was all. When the
flames were finally under control the
building was a complete wreck. To-
day, after ell is over, there are four
charred and blackened walls standing
and an immense mass of destroyed
stock.
During the progress Of the fire, Jo-
seph Sloss, a member of the firm, re-
mained in Mack & Co.'S drug
house. which is Immediately opposite.

Scott, another member of the firm. The

were guilty of a gross impropriety in adj
dressing the court on such matter at
such time, or, in fact, at all; and the
court felt constrained to believe that
when you were bold enough to speak on
such a matter your conduct should be re-
garded with suspicion"
When Moore had expended his resources
endeaVoring to lead the court into the be-
lief that his conduct was innocent in in
tent Judge Lawlor ordered that his name
be withdrawn from the box and informed
the juror that henceforth he would be
excused" from further duty on the
panel.
This did not close the scene, however.
District Attorney Murphy was in court,
and astounded the gathering by the state
ment that he was in possession of evil
dence that established his contention be-
yond the peradventure of doubt that the
jury had been tampered with and that eX-
terror influences were responsible for the
verdict of acquittal.

Attorney, but 1 will continue my investi-

This closed the arraignment of the
jury, but the crowd had become excited
and jammed out through the door dis
cussing the situation in loud and indig-
nant manner. Rood was taken away to
rejoice over his escape, no matter how
it was effected. 1t is now up to- Dis

APRIL FOOL BASEBALL.
A Warm Article Scheduled for To-
Day at Recreation Park.

People who desire very warm article
in baseball should not miss the meeting
this afternoon at Recreation Park be-
tween the Gilt Edges of Sacramento and
the heavy hitters of the San Francisco
league team. Early in the season as it
is, the playing and practice already are
top notch, the teams in the league going
out in a bunch for the far-off champion
ship.
The experience of last season has shown
the managers that the people of this city
will patronize good ball and give the dis
tant go-by to the ragged article. For that
reason the best material has been select
ed for the clubs and the men know that
they must play ball all the time or they
will hear something drop.
The game will begin this afternoon at
o'clock sharp and will be made further
interesting by the reappearance among
the Sacramento contingent of Pitcher
Hughes, who twirled last year for Bal
timore He is scheduled for the right gar
den, but it is likely that he will be put
in for few innings to April fool the enc
my. The San Francisco aggregation is
sure the visitors will need him and then
not win out. The lineup of the teams
will be as follows:

CHINESE DENS RAIDED.

The police made their first move in the
battle against the Chinese gambling dens
which flourish under the name of clubs
last night. At 11:30 o'clock Lieutenant
Esola and Sergeant Christiansen, with
four men, started out from the California
street police station to make general
roundup.
They first attacked the "Chinese Mer-
chants Exchange. and the United Ori-

PEKING. March 91.-The disturb
ances of the province of Shantung
during the whole winter have been
causing serious anxiety and have cuI-
minated in the imprisonment of a Ger
man priest at the town Of Thine, ac-
tually within 100 Ii "a Ii is. approx
mately three cable lengths) of the Ger
man sphere about Kiaochau.
The facts regarding the attack on a
German officer and several companions
show that a German naval patrol, con-
sisting of an officer and six men, was
landed at IChou, not at I-Tscho-Fu
as cabled last night from Kiaochau,
and advanced a short distance inland.
This patrol was met by a detachment
of Chinese soldiers, who fired upon the
Germans.
The officer in charge of the German
detachment caused the fire to be re-
turned, killing several Chinese, but his
party was obliged to retire, and the
German admiral is landing a stronger
force to restore order. The presence of
nearly the whole of the German fleet
at Kfaochau, it is believed, indicates
the possibility of extensive operations,
and the Chinese, in consequence, are
seriously alarmed.
The TSung Ii Yamen, in order to
show it's desire to remove all possible
causes of friction, has dismissed three
magistrates voluntarily, although the
German Minister, Baron Won Heyking,
has been constantly pressing for their
disgrace.
The fearful ravages of the Yellow
River flood have caused terrible misery
and great discomfort in the province of
Shantung, and the native officials
have been unable to maintain order.
The landing of the Germans is intended
to show the Chinese that If they are
unable to control the populace it is
necessary for the foreigners to protect
themselves.
The Imprisonment of the German
missionary near the Germans sphere
of influence about Kiaochau is difficult
to explain, as the place mentioned is
within easy march Of a German out
post.
The Chinese fear that the present
operations will expand the German ad-
ministration to the 100-h sphere.

is said there was no panic on board.
The coasting steamer Lynx, which
brought the news of the disaster here,
picked up four boats and forty persons.
1t is estimated that 120 persons were
drowned
The second officer of the steamer. who
was among those rescued, says that

people, but he thinks she struck on the

twenty women, who escaped from the

landed here.
The Stella had on board 210 passen-
gers, who were going to spend Easter
in the Channel Islands.
The Stella, which belonged to the
London and Southwestern Railway
Company, left Southampton at noon
yesterday, conveying the first eXcur-
sion of the season TO the Channel ISL

on board and the crew numbered
thirty-five men. The weather was
ernoon, when the fog became most
dense. At o'clock the Casquet Rocks
suddenly loomed through the fog bank,
and the steamer almost Immediately
afterward struck amidships. The cap

the women and children were embarked

the men to look after themselves.

twenty-five others put off from the
Stella in a small boat. The sea was
calm, but there was a big swirl around
the rocks When this boat was short
distance away from the wreck the
boilers of the Stella burst with a ter
rife explosion, and the vessel disap-
peared stern foremost in the sea.
The last thing the survivor saw was
the figure of the captain of the Stella
standing calmly on the bridge and Civ
ing his last Instructions. He perished
with his vessel, the suction caused by
the sinking steamer being very great.
