Governor Smith today granted a
pardon to Ella st. Clair, who was con
yicted in Missoula county August 1e,
1894, of grand larceny and sent to the
penitentiary for twelve years. Judge
Frank Wood, before whom the woman
was tried, interceded with the COVER
nor in her behalf, while Conley & Me-
Tague, the ~penitentary contractors,
urged the governor to pardon her, as
they represented that her health was
breaking down under the confinement
and they believed she had been suffi-
punished.

SALISBURY PLEASED THEM
GERMANS COMMENT FAVORABLY ON
GUILD HALL SPEECH.
Interest in China Waning Opening of
Reichstag Awaited Important
Measures to Be introduced.

Berlin, Nov. l0-Lord Salisbury's
Guild hall speech is commented ON
favorably by the German press, es-
pecially the passage anent the Anglo
German agreement in which infer
entially Great Britain's o-German
sentiments are diyulged. The British
premier's army reform reference like
wise met with approval and the hope
is expressed hat the reform will be
thorough. The passage touching upon
the United States was passed over
silently by a majority of the papers.
Interest i'm China is gradually wan
ing. This may be seen everywhere,
in the press and in conversation,
Interest just nov eenters on the
reischstag opening next Wednesday,
which will BIZ particularly solemn.
1t will take place at noon in the
Rittersaal of Berlin castle. Previous
thereto, there will be divine service,
both Catholic and Protestant, The
press generally calls attention to the
importance of the forthcoming session,
whose first part will deal with the
China policy, and the emperor's and
the governments hitherto c0mpre-
hensiye measures, including the crea-
tion of a special China army, which
the liberal press has been pointing to
as unconstitutional, Furthermore the
reischstag will deal with the Posadow-
ski-Bueck matter, which will arouse
heated debates, The budget and bills
referring to insurance companies, pub
fishers rights, commerce and marine
will also receive attention. The
centre party will also introduce q bill
providing for recall of the JesHlts,
The SECOND part of the session of the
reischstag viii probably not begin be-
fore April. The first work will be a
revision OF the tariff and renewal OF
commercial treaties, in the prepare
tory work of which the governmental
departments are still far behind,
Nevertheless agitation on the whole
subject is carried on vigorously
throughout Germany, including the
entire press and in chambers OF com

London, Nov. l0-South Africa
threatens once more to absorb public
attention in Great Britain. Lord
Salisbury in his speech at the inaug-
nral banquet of the lord mayor at
Guild hall last night held ont little
hope of immediate pacication and
the return of Lord Roberts is still
problematical and is certainly a mat
ter of weeks and perhaps months. One
of those most seriously interested and
best informed as to the future of the
belligerent regions, when asked by a
representative of the Associated Press
what was going to happen and how
soon it would happen, replied: "Un-
fortunately am not a minor
prophet" That voices the govern
ment's attitude, The ministers have
given up specializing az to when peace
will be thoroughly restored, and to

ARRArcrr. MONTICELLO FOUNDERS
IN BAY OF FUNDY.
FEW LIVES ARE SAVED
Same Wave That Smashes Boat
Hurls Occupants Upon
Beach Uninjured.

Yarmouth, N. S., Nov. 1O-Word
has been received here that the steam.
ship City of Monticello has foundered
off Cape Forchi. Forty persons went
down with the doomed vessel.
The City of Monticello piled be-
tween Yarmouth and Halifax and was
bound for Halifax when she foundered.
Cape Forchi, near where the vessel
sank, is i'll the Bay of Fundy and is
considered dangerous by fishermen and
coast-wise sailors, who frequent these
waters. Recent storms have made
them unusually dangerous. As yet
there is no report TO the effect that
any person was saved from the doomed
ship.
The place where the Monticello
struck is at the mouth Of the Bay of
Fundy, where the waters of the bay
join those of the Atlantic. There are
many reefs and shoals at this spot
and the currents are many and change
able, it being of the most danger
GUS places Oh the coast. The gale last
night worked up a tremendous sea
and at the time the vessel struck the
were beating upon the rocks
and sending spray for hundreds of feet
over the land.
The Monticello was on her way from
St. John to Yarmouth with a full
freight and fairly large passenger list.
Just before she foundered All attempt
was made to reach the land in a small
boat in charge of the quartermaster
and it contained Third Officer Flem-
ming, the stewardess, named Smith,
and three passengers. This boat was
smashed by a huge comber, the occu-
pants being hurled high upon the
beach at Pembroke uninjured.
1t is believed that these are the
only survivors out of 40.

CONVICT CLAIMS PART OF THE
BLYTHE ESTATE.
BACKS IT UP BY the WILL
Institutes Legal Proceedings but
Lacks Funds to Carry
on Contest.

New York, Nov. IO-Jacob J.
Haffner, who has spent the geater par
of the last fifteen years in state
prison, made a statement today and
produced letters and documents con.
corning Thomas H. Blythe, multo.
millionaire, who died in San Fran
cisco in 1883. The papers were
turned over to Lawyer E. B, South
worth, who has been retained by
Haffner TO press his claim to a share
of the Blythe estate. The documents
include what purports TO be the origi-
nal will of James Hey Pearcy, other
wise known as Thomas HI. Blythe,
dated March 4, 1881, and signed in
the presence of Haffner and one James
Plough, Of Los Angeles, Calf.
This will appoints Haffner executor
of the estate and names as residuaTy
legatee my adopted daughter, Flor
ence Pearcy, otherwise known as
Florence Ashcroft, now residing with
her mother, Mrs. Julia Ashcroft, at
London, Eng" The third article in
the will reads: II give. devise and
bequeath to my borther, Charles
Pearcy,s of Chicago, $50, OO0. 1t is
under this article that Haffner makes
his claim to a share of the Blythe es-
tate.
1t is OH record in the probate court
of Cook county, Illinois, that Charles
Pearcy died at the West Side hospital
in Chicago, in November, 1897. Half
ner was in the Dannemora prison at
this time. Charles Pearcy had lived
for several years at No. 224 West
Madison street, Chicago. He was
practically a hermit. There was paper
the corpse by which it was found
he had left $500, 900 in real estate
and Chicago city bonds. Heirs were
for and Albert Pearcy of
". Va, who ~professed to
be a brother, appeared. Upon his
testimony the property was divided,
share and share alike, between him
self and his five brothers and sisters.
Haffner was released from Dannemora
prison in April last. He went to Chi
cagO and produced what purported to
be the Last will and testament of
Charles PeaKcy. He engaged Lawyer
William p. Black of Chicago, as his
counsel and endeayored to have the
estate reopened. The lawyer carried
the proceedings to a point where a
considerable fund for expenses was
necessary and when this was not forth
coming dropped the matter. This was
in September last. This will which
is now on file in Cook county, Illinois,
contains the following clause;
II give, bequath and devise to my
brother, Thomas H. Pearcy, known as
Thomas I'll. Blythe, San Francisco,
~, 000." There are other
requests amounting i'm all to about
$40, 900 and Haffner is made residnary
and executor, This will is
dated September "A, 1894.
Haffner seeks to recover $50, 900
under the will of Charles Pearcy and
also $50, 600 from Blythe, which as he
was willed to Charles Fl,
Pearcy and should fall to him as resi-
duary legatee under the Charles Fl,
