T1 1.' 1 a P Want wlirt vii mn victed at San Francisco of the mnrder of Addie tiilmorn, a Colusa milliner, upon whom he had performed a criminal operation, appeared in court tne otner morning to have sentence passed upon him. He was sentenced by Judge Wal lace to twenty-five years in the Btate nr win. A motion lor a new trial was denied. His attorney called attention to numerous technical points, and asked for a siavv of Droceedinm. whioh was granted. Tlie Ontario (San Bernardino county, Cal.) Fruit Exchange has brought suit anil asks lor restraining oruer anaium J. 8. Garcia to prevent linu from dispos ing of his orange crop for this season to any other parties than the plaintilT. The complaint allege tlie orange crop amounts to 300 boxes, and the de fendent is a membs-r of the exchange and entered into an agreement with the other members not to sell his fruit out side the exchange, but that he has dis posed of a portion of tlie crop to outside parties. A decision has been given in the United States District Court at San Francisco awardingMamages. segregat ing about (10.000, to heirs of tlie Cap tain, cook and owner of the schooner Fidelity, which was lost by the master of the steam tug Printer while towing the schooner over Humboldt bar in No vember, 1889. The Captain and all hands of the latter were lost. The court held that the bar before and after the disaster was In an exceedingly dangerous condi tion, and a careful pilot would not have attemnted to tow the schooner over. Therefore it gave judgment for the plaintiffs. The case Is tho nrnt 01 tne kind ever rendered in the United States courts. The Srfpreme Court of Oregon has af firmed the judgment of the lower court in the case of the State vs. Hansen, ap pellant, from Clatsop connty. The ap peal was on the ground of error being made in admitting certain evidence and giving and refusal of certain instructions by the court. On Wednesday, July 2(1 last, he murdered his wife, Caroline Hansen, while she was engaged in ptok ing raspberries at their home in Clatsop county. The deed was committed with a stick about a yard in length, with a knot on the end. The blow was upon the head. It occurred about 4 p. m. Hansen made a confession on the follow ing Saturday to Sheriff H. A. Smith and F. I. Dunbar. His wife died almost instantly, and after remaining by her side for about an hour Hansen went to a neighbor's place and told him what he had done. During the evening he burned the stick in a stove in his home. He was indicted and convicted of the crime of murder In the first degree. A motion for a new trial was overruled by Judge T. A. Mc Bride, and Hansen was sentenced to be hanged. The defendant a counsel contended that in the confession made in the presence of tlie Sheriir every thing shows that Hansen was insane, and that the subsequent confession was made after recovering from the eflecU ol liquor. Judge Moore, in the opinion, snvs the statute requires the accused, when insanity is pleaded as a defense, to establish the fact beyond a reason able doubt. It is not in the province of court to question the policy of law or say that the rule established in cases is inhuman, or if the accused can offer suf ficient evidence to raise in the minds ol iurors a reasonable doubt of his sanity, then the State must establish this fact, like all others, beyond reasonable doubt. From facts and circumstances of tlie case tlie Jury were at liberty, and it was theirs to say by. their verdict whether the design to kill was formed and matured in cold blood and not hastily upon oc casion, and having so found under proper Instruction from the oourt, the judgment is affirmed. The opinion cov ers fifteen pages of type-written copy. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL The subcommittee of the House Com mittee on Banking and Currency will report to the full committee favorably the bill of Cooper of Indiana to permit States and Territories to tax United States notes and currency. Kawlin's bill granting land from Fort Douglas military reservation as a site for the University of Utah and Geary's bill for a public road through Lime Point reservation, California, have been ap proved by the House Committee on Military Affairs. The House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce has voted to make a favorable report on the New York and New Jersey bridge bill, which Representative Dunphy has redrafted with a view of obviating the objections in the President's recent veto. The President has informed members of Congress who have approached him an the subject that he proposes so far as possible to appoint sons of army and naval officers as cadets at large to the Military and Naval Academies. This is in accord ance with his policy of eight years ago. There are two such vacancies at the Na val Academy, which, it is believed, will be filled before May 1. Grosvenor'a bill for a national celebra tion at Chickamauga and Chattanooga Military Park September 10 and 20 has been approved by the House Committee on Military Affairs. Arrangements will be under the direction of the Secretary of War, who is to request the participation of the President and Congress, tlie Su preme Court, heads of Departments of the Army and Navy, Governors, etc. Past Assistant Surgeon Richard Ash bridge has been dismissed from the navy. He was the recorder of a court-martial at Mare Island, Cal., but refused to draw up a report of tlie proceedings as directed by the President of the court, and was also charged with falsehood in the same connection. He was convicted by a court-martial of conduct prejudicial to flood order and discipline and of false tood and sentenced to dismissal from the naval service, which sentence has been approved. Special Treasury Agent M. B. Pereley has in custody three Chinamen, who were turned over to the United States officials by the Wabash railroad. It ia alleged that they came from China by way of Vancouver, sneaked across from Windsor, Canada, and came to Chicago on a sleeping car, beating ttioir way. They have no money and no baggage. They are dressed as Americans, but , small pieces of holly wood were found I concealed in their queues, which bore engraved credentials to tneir friends They could not talk, so they were booked One Lung, Two Lungs, Three Lungs, ac-j cording to size. Secretary Herbert has advised that the hull of the Kearsarge on Koncador reef la breaking up, and there is little hope of saving her. One consolation ia that none of the guns which did such ef fective work in tne battle with the Ala bama off Cherbourg were aboard the . . . . , . i ship when she was cast on the reef. An nffli.i .i.bmnt Kv t.A imlnanm hn. official statement by the ordnance bu reau for information ot tlie Secretary shows that her two eleven-inch guns aro now on hand at Mare island navy yard; four thirty-two-pounders were sold at Boston navy yard February, 1888, to M. Lissberger of New York ; a thirty pound Dahlgren rifle sold at the same yard in 1875 to the Boston Machine Com pany, and a twelve-pound light howitzer melted up in October, 1889. An extradition treaty between this country and Costa Rica will be sent to the Senate soon. A draft of the pro posed treaty has been prepared and practically agreed upon. One or two ? revision still await settlement, but it s supposed that the next mail from Costa Rica will bring news of the ap proval by the Costa Rica authorities of the changes suggested by the Secretary of State. The new treaty will make ex traditable from either country the follow ing crimes: Murder, including assassi nation, parricide and infanticide ; poison ing, arson, piracy, mutiny, burglary, robbery, forgery, counterfeiting and em bezzlement. When the Costa Rica auth orities surrendered embezzler Francis H. Weeks of New York Secretary Gresham agreed to exchange a treaty which would include the crime of which Weeks was guilty, and the negotiations now in prog ress are In accordance with the promise. More trouble is brewing in Samoa. According to official advices the son of Tamasese, one of the former Kings of Samoa, is leading a movement against Malietoa. He is said to have a large following of natives, who are rebellious, not so much against the immediate rulers as against tlifl tripartite govern ment that controls affairs on the islands. When Mataafa's adherents surrendered last fall and were transferred to one of the islands of the Marshall group, it was hoped there would be no further trouble in Samoa, although the present admin istration never folt very confident that affairs on the island would run along smoothly and peaceably until some other form of government prevailed. It is said negotiations are now in progress between the United States and Great Britain and Germany for a modification of the Berlin treaty, but it is not known what the proposed changes are. Presi dent Cleveland took occasion in his an nual message to note his disapproval of the existing tripartite. Great Britain and Germany are alike dissatisfied, and would probably like a change as much as this government, and the unfortunate natives are even more anxious for an other form of government than any other of the parties concerned. Mr. Chickering of New York has in troduced In the House a bill to amend the act of July, 1802, to enforce recip rocal relations between the United States and Canada. The bill provides in addi tion to the present powers that when ever the President shall be satisfied that there is any discrimination in the use of tlie Welland canal, the St. Lawrence river canal, the Chambly canal or the new Canadian Sanlt canal detrimental to the United States it shall be his duty to suspend the transportation across the United States In bond of goods imported or exported from any foreign countries from or to the British Dominions in NoHh America. In case of the suspen sion tolls are to be levied and collected on freight of whatever kind or descrip tion at $2 per ton and on passengers at not more than $6 a head. No tolls are to be charged or collected upon freight or passengers carried to and landed at Ogdensburg, N. Y., or any port west of Ogdensburg and south of a line drawn from the northern boundary of the State of New York through the St. Lawrence river, the Great Lakes and their connect ing channels to the northern boundary of the State of Minnesota, The bill was referred to the Committee oa Foreign Affairs.

California. Midwintm Intcm a- ) noNAi. EjfosmoN Department V ok Pusucfrr and Promotion. ' ) Weekly Circular Letter-No. It. An incident occurred in connection with the Midwinter International Expo sition a few days ago which furnished an Interesting commentary on its interna tional character, and which established in an unmistakable manner the fact that this great fair follows, in many respects, the lines laid down by its illustrious predecessor on the shores of Lake Michi gan, and that at the same time, it pos esses an individuality which will give it a prominent place in the fntnre history of the expositions of the world. One of the most prominent concess ional features of the exposition has been the Wild Animal Arena where Colonel EI Daniel Boone has been giving per formances with lions and other animals, which is said by those who have seen both to snrpass the famous show given by Hagenbeck on the Midway in Chi cago. Boone had an assistant in this work in the person of Carlo Thieman, a brave, bold tamer of lions, who was only less familiar and less foolhardy, if one may use that word, than Boone himself, in his associations with these big beasts. But, one night - last week, Thieman entered the den of the lions to prepare them for tbeir nsual appearance in the Arena, when suddenly the lights went out. Parnell, the biggest of the lions, fearful perhaps of some danger Which he could not see, made a savage attack on the keeper. The other lions fell to with him and poor Thieman was at their mercy in a moment. Boone, the master of the beasts, forced his way into the cage with a crowbar and beat the angry lions back, but not until Thieman had sustained such injuries that his death followed on the morrow. It was Thieman's funeral that fur nished the commentary at the opening of this letter. It was certainly a most impressive scene. Poor Thieman did not have a relative in all this great America, but his employer, Boone, was bis warm personal friend, and all who worked with him admired his courage and his personality. Thus it came about that the funeral of the lion tamer was so notable. It took place in the animal Arena. A'seetion of the great iron cage which shuts off the performing space from that reserved for visitors, had been removed, and through this opening the coffin was carried. A bier had been made of some of the material which is used for the lions to do their acts upon, and here laid the dead tamer in the midst of a group of his associates, while the solemn burial service was read by a local clergyman. Every seat in the vast arena was occu pied, and there were hundreds who wanted to get in but could not. On the back row of seats, stretching almost around the auditorium were Indians from the Sioux exhibit. Each warrior was in paint and feathers, but their bows were unstrung, and all carried themselves with the quiet dignity which always marks an Indian when a cere mony is being performed. Near to these were the Indians from the banks of the Yaqui river, and a delegation from the Esquimau village. Half a dozen of the Turkish dancers had come across the South Drive to mingle with the crowd at the funeral. A company of South Sea Islanders were there, and a quartette of native Hawaiian singers furnished the musio for the occasion, singing in their native tongue words set to old, fa miliar hymns. A big Cossack stood down in front with his shaggy head overtopping all his neighbors. Swarthy Mexicans from the '49 Mining Camp sat, sombrero in hand, and heads bowed down, and dark-eyed senoritas shed tears of sympathy as they sat among the mourners. It was an interesting com pany of people and such an one as had probably never before assembled on a similar occasion. A band of 50 pieces occupied a posi tion out of sight of the audience and its music came to the ears ot those present in a somewhat muffled tone. But there were other lmiSied tones that fell upon the ears of this funeral gathering during the exercises, which were neither so sweet nor so pleasing, but which brought a terrible reminder of what had caused this polyglot assemblage. The cages of the animals are located under the raised seats of the amphitheatre, and the beasts became restless as the hour for their nsual performance passed by and they .were not summoned to play their part. The big lion whose paw had dealt the fatal blow to poor Thieman, growled and roared at intervals all during the clergyman's address, and when thb musio of the band suggested to these knowing creatures that there was a crowd in the Arena, they seemed to unite in a chorus ot protest and disap proval. Strong men shuddered at the suggestion conveyed by these loud monthings. -Women shed tears and some of them were so overcome with fear and emotion that they passed hur riedly out of the auditorium. It was a scene that will never be forgotten by those present. Then came a procession through the grounds. A cordon of guards occupied the right of line. Back of them marched the band, playing a funeral march. Keeping step to this slow rythm walked the Indians, the Turks, the South Sea Islanders, and all the representatives of the different concessions, : who had turned out to honor the memory of the dead lion tamer. The hearse was cov ered with, floral offerings. Hundreds connected with the exposition walked in the long line that reached from one end of the grand court to the other and that wonnd its way between the beautiful industrial palaces, out to the plroe where dust was to be returned to dust. Yet this was but an incident. The next day the lions roared in the Arena again, and kappy crowds of men, women and children rapturously applauded. . It was only a drop in the great sea of vents on which the California Midwin ter International Exposition is sailing, and it has been given prominence simply as one of the charaoterutio features of ttetair. .

Germany has made a frontier agree ment with France. The Indian budget estimates a deficit of 360,000 lacs of rupees. All England and France is stirred op over Anarch iBt plot tings. Many of the Sicilian rioters have been given long terms of imprisonment. London bank officials say there is an embarrassing prevalence of farthings. Savings bank deposit accounts in France are one-sixth less than they were two years ago. There has been a eteadv growth in continental armies of the kind of hys teria known as neurasthenia. During the last year the French gov ernment has paid out about 30,000 francs for the destruction of 404 wolves. The poor of Saxony eat the flesh of horses, dogs and cats according to a re port made to the State Department. Word has been sent to the courts of Europe that the Shah of Persia intends to visit Berlin, St. Petersburg, Paris and Vienna next year. Queen Victoria has ordered court offi cials to adopt strict precautions to pre vent the sale of introductions at court by women of title. The proposal of Lsnres in the French Chambers to establish a State monopoly for the sale of wheat does not meet with pronounced popular favor.
