SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-Beatsn

at the city and county hospital.
Her skull is fractured at the base
of the brain; her face is frightfully
bruised and lacerated; there is an ugly
scalp wound over her left eye and her.

Daniel Harding, a teamster, who was
caught by Policemen George F. Ewing
and Frank Garcia in the act of striking
the unfortunate woman, under the floor
of the Terminal saloon, near the county
line, where he had dragged his victim
after rendering her unconscious, is held
in detinue at the Potrero police station
Word from the hospital is to the eff
feet that she cannot recover and the
man in custody will in all proba bility
be forced to trial on a capital charge.

Tt was shortly after 10 o'clock last
night that Ewing and Garcia, who are
both identified with the Potrero sta
ton, were doing patrol duty in the
vicinity of the Six Mile house on the
San Bruno road
Passing the Terminal saloon their at

termined to investigate. Not knowing
what was before them both officers
prepared for the journey under the
house from whence the means seemed
to come. They came upon Harding and
his victim before they had travelled

Harding put UP desperate battle

quarters the policemen would have

rian question as paramount, proposing
to remedy the deficiency in land
through the operation of an agrarian
migration to Siberia.
1t proposed the introduction Of uni
versal and compulsory education, the
reform of the administration and real
ization Of liberties.
Premier Goremylxin's statement, how
ever. returned a non-possumus ON the
chief question raised by the house. 1t
declared that the fiat and unexcep-
tional laws cannot be withdrawn until
murder and terrorism cease.
Refuse Right to Investigate
The appropriation of appanages of
the crown and church and private
lands was declared inadmissible. The
right OF Investigating administrative
acts, the statement declared, belongs
to the crown, the house having only
the power of Interpolation. Amnesty,
Premier Goremykin said, Is solely the
prerogative of the emperor.
Such briefly, was the government S
reply to the address of the house and
the premier's words seemed to arouse
all the latent resentment in the hearts
of the members of the house. The con-
stitutional democratic leaders were the
first to give free rein to passion and
with flaming words orntor after orator
denounced the governments program
and said that the ministry must give
way to cabinet in which the people
can have confidence. M. Rodicheff an
nouhced that the governments reply
had dashed to the ground the hope OF
working in harmony with theladminis-
tration.
M. Kovalevsky enacted the role OF
Mirabeau, practically paraphasing the
will of the people and nothing but bay
onets can dispense use," while half a
dozen peasant members hurled def
ance at the ministry.
Even Count Heydon, the leader of the
right, deserted the government, saying
that inasmuch as it had refused to re-
deem its promise to repeal the excep-
tional law. his vote also was for CEN
sure.
The resolution of censure as adopted
provides that the house shall proceed
with the order Of the day Monday, thus
adroitly placing upon the government
responsibility for the next move.
For the moment, as indicated by a
communication issued by the official
agency at midnight, the ministry is hesi-
tating in dilemma, being ready neither
to resign or dismiss parliament.
The communication says:
I'VE are able to announce authorita-
lively that the rumors of dissolution
of parliament are unfounded The par
lament will sit until the middle OF
June, when it will take vacation. The
dismissal of the ministers is a matter
exclusively for the unfettered decision
of the sovereign. The speech of the
minister of Justice at today's sitting of
the house was an expression of his per-
sonal views. given on his own initia-
tive"

ASSEMBLY, WORK
IS CONCLUDED
PRESBYTERIANS ARE PLEASED
WITH RESULTS
Des Mones Meeting Declared to Be
the Most Important In the
History Of the
Church
Rv Assoo,ated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, May 26.-The
one hundred and eighteenth Presbyter-
ian general assembly concluded its
business late this afternoon and ad-
journed to meet next year at Columbus,
Ohio.
The assembly is considered to have
been the most important In the history
of the church because of the compile
ton of union with the Cumberland
Presbyterian church.
The solemn declaration of the con-
summation of the union by the modera-
ator and the appearance of delegates
from the Cumberland assembly were in
| cidents that will be remembered long
| by the men who came from all parts of
| the world to assist the cause of con-
| solidation.
Federation Is Important Step
The declaration of the assembly in
| favor of the church federation is also
considered an important step and 1T is
| expected that it will be followed by
similar action on the part Of other
churches.
The movement for union and fedora
tion is believed by church leaders to
be in full swing, and they predict the
early union of all Presbyterian churches
in the United States. The closing ses-
sions were enlivened by several acri-
monious debates, one of which came
when Rev. DIR. j. B. Moffatt offered
resolutions intending to conciliate OBJ
jectors to the recent union. DR.. Will
liam Lowrie of Bellefonte, Pa, objected
to statements that the synods and
presbyteries of the Cumberland church
had been added to the rolls of the Pres
byterian churches in the United States
of America, because, he said, a large
number of Cumberland ministers are
said to be in session in st. Louis plan
ming to continue the Cumberland
church.
DR.. Moffatt flashed back that the
union is fact. The resolutions were
then adopted.
