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.

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

Costa Rica will bring news of the ap
proval by the Costa Rica authorities of

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

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

tion to the present powers that when
ever the President shall be satisfied that

United States In bond of goods imported
or exported from any foreign countries

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

THE MIDWINTER EXPOSITION.

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. . " --- .
