A Murderer Hanged.
San Quentin, Cal., April 20. Patrick
J. Suliivan, who brutally murdered his
wife on the streets of San Francisco in
November, 1892, was banged at 11
o'clock this morning in the presence of
the prison officials, reporters, doctors
and others. Sullivan passed the previous
night comfortably and joked and
laughed with the guards several hours.
He ato a hearty breakfast. After the
usual religious consolation by a Catho
lic priest, a few moments before 11
o'clock he mounted the scaffold with a
firm tread. He made a short speech,
adjuring those present to be aware of
wine and women, "which are man's
downfall." As the black an was
drawn over his head he shouted; "You
can't say I died like a cur." The trap
was sprung, and his death was instan
taneous. ."
Gallnger on the Tariff.
Washington, April 20. Senator Gal
inger spoke on the tariff bill. Galinger
denounced the bill as one nobody un
qualifiedly approves except the senators
from Missouri and Indiana, McLaurin
and Turpie. Even the author entered
an apology for the measure. It is
strictly a Sonihern bill, and most of the
New England money invested in the
South is forever lost if it becomes a law.
. He took np in turn the various industries
of New England that would be injured
if passed, and said the increased tax on
spirits would benefit alone the whisky
trust. Free wool will ruin this industry,
and the income tax was denounced as
sectional and unjust. The laboring
masses of the Nor.h had set the seal of
condemnation on the bill and no longer
stick to the ticket they voted last year,
but ally themselves with the party that
stands for protection, good wages, happy
and comfortable homes.
ASKING FOR AMNESTY
Conference
With the
Leaders.
Insurgent
Bubnos Ayhes, April 20. A dispatch
to the Times says an envoy from President-elect
Mores lias held a conference
here with the insurgent. General Mar
tins, for the purpose of arranging peace
in the state of Rio Grande do Sal, Brazil.
General Martins terms of peace were
that the governor of Bio Grande do Sul
be deposed and that a new election be
held in Brazil ; that the insurgent
officers be reinstated in the posts they
formerly held, and that amnesty be
granted to all. It is stated Da Gama
will- be landed in Buenos Ayrea today.
It is reported General Saraiva, with
5,000 of bis insurgents, is on the North
western frontier of Bio Grande do Sul.
NEWS NOTES.
The betrothal is announced of the
ciarowitz, Grand duke Nickolas, to
Princess Alix Victoria Helena Louisa
Beatrice of Hesse.
The creditors of C. I.- Webster & Co.
are disposed to help Mark Twain. He
is in his 60th year, has aged rapidly the
last few years, and bis fortune is greatly
over-estimated.
It is proposed, that the United States
congress, in the name of the people, com
plete the explorations of the north and
south polar regions and make an
annual appropriation of $25,000 for this
purpose.
The reported discovery of a wonderful
deserted city in a remote section of the
Sierra Madre mountains, in Durango,
has been verified by Maurice Lentow
and a party of explorers. They found a
secret entrance to the city and made an
exhaustive exploration. They returned
laden with curiosities from abandoned
residences and temples. The population
of the city could not have been less than
25,000.
Highest of all In Leavening Power
LL.
AESSHfElf PURE
NWS OF THE STATE.
A barber in La Grande named Ankeny
is missing'. - The only explanation is a
note posted on the Wallowa bridge stat
ing that he intended to jump into the
river. , The note reads : "Notice--To
whom it may concern : Having drank
so much whisky, making myself and
everybody else enemies, have come to
the conclusion I would end my. life by
jumping off this bridge. Hoping it will
relieve others as well fas myself, I go.
If my body is recovered feed it to the
hogs." Those who were acquainted
with him think it is a hoax.
ORIGIN OF DEATH VALLEY.
An Indian .fcre"d Regarding: a Queen as
Beautiful ns Cleopatra.
. The Indian legend regarding the
origin of Death valley, in. Mayo county,
California, is an interesting1 one.
From the outer edge of this vast
furnace it is three hundred miles
square and one hundred feet below sea
level one may see far off, tremulous
through the shimmering waves of
heat, a sort of butte that has the form
of a ruined castle. The story goes
that in the old days, before the Amar
gosa river ceased to water the valleys,
the place was the site of a powerful
city ruled by a princess as beautiful as
Cleopatra and as imperious as Eliza
beth. An ambassador to the reigning
Aztec monarch described to her on his
return the glories of the king's palace
in the City of Mexico.
Itesolving to equal the magnificence
of her neighbor she began the'ereetiop
of a vast building. : All the laborers
and artisans of the city- were employed
and the work. Was pushed -night and
day, for within twelve months the
Aztec ruler was to be' her guest, and
she wished to welcome him to a pal
ace as splendid as his own. She ex
hausted the resources of her realm,
men went mad with toil and hunger,
and at last the high priest protested.
He was ordered to execution, and, dy
ing, cursed the city for the princess'
sake. That night the earth shook and
sank, the river . dried up' and ; the
morning sun poured down a flood of
heat. All perished, and now the ruined
walls of the palace alone remain.
The Amargosa, by the way, Is a
most erratic stream. It flows south
ninety miles from its fountain head in
the western Sierras, vanishes at Best
ing Spring mountain, is in evidence
again for fifty miles, disappears for a
space, then bobs up and runs along tur
bulently for one hundred milea, All
trace of it is lost at Death valley.
-Excess of Etiqancte Killed Blm,
The rigid etiquette of courts has
more than once come near making a
martyr of the person whom the rules
preveutod from aiding ofS-hand. In
Spain these, notions of etiquette were
carried to such an extent that Philip
III. met his death in direct conse
quence of them. The king was one day
gravely seated by a chimney where the
firemaker of the court had kindled so
great a quantity of wood that the mon
arch was being suffocated with heat.
Hi3 grandeur would not suffer him to
rise from the chair to call for belp; the
officers-in-waiting were not within call,
and the domestics could not presume
to enter the apartment, because it was
against the etiquette. At last Mar
quis de Pobat appeared, and the king
ordered him to damp the fire; but he
excused himself, alleging that he was
forbidden by the etiquette to perform
such a function, for which Duke
d'Asseda ought to be called upon, as it
was his business. The duke was gone
out, the fire burned fiercer, and the
king endured it rather than derogate
from his dignity; but his blood was
heated to such a degree that erysipelas
broke out in his head the next day,
which, being succeeded by a violent
fever, 'carried him off.

THE MIDWINTER.
'Sing Three" Sees lirautlfal Things and
Hides a Camel. -
; San Francisco, April 16, '94.
Editor Chromiclb:
Sometimes we are compelled, no mat
ter how much we resent it, to take back
what we have said so often that we have
come to believe it the whole truth and
nothing but tho truth, and such is the
case as present. The Dalles is not
the windiest place on earth, for if yester
day's wind storm is a fair sample of San
Francisco breezes.- no place on the globe
can compare with.it. However up till
yesterday we had fine weather and
ought not to complain though we were
so "blowed." . : Well, we have not
changed our minds in regard to" the
merits of the Midwinter fair, and the
more we see of it the better are we
pleased. Through the influence of Mrs.
Barton, who is a sister of Mrs. French
and in the office of Mr. DeYoung, and
t the kinduess of the executive secretary,
; Mr. Badlam, I was allowed a pass into
; the grounds without other recommends
tion, so have had a good opportunity to
; see all that is to be seen. The licet plan
is to spend a day at a time on the
grounds, so that you may' miss none of
! the fine music by Sonsa's band and also
j enjoy watching the illumination in the
j evening, which is grand, all of the prin
I ci pal buildings being fringed with elec
trie lights. The principal object of in-
; terest is the electric tower, about 200
; feet high, and on which are arranged
: different shaded lights to represent
shields, stars, diamonds, etc., and op
i the very top is a powerful search light,
j This tower is in the center of the court
and around it are walks fringed with
flowers and plants. Directly in front of
the administration building is the alle
gorical fountain, which I do wish I could
describe, for L think it one of the most
interesting things to be seen. One
statue particularly took my fancy, that
of a mining shaft, in front of which are
two miners at work, one holding in his
'hand a large hose from which flows "a
powerful stream of water. Near the top
of this fountain, below a beautiful statue,
are the w rds, "California, the land of
sunshine and flowers." The electric
fountain is situated in front of the liberal
arts building and plays at about 8
o'clock every evening, when all other
illuminations are suspended for the
time. It must be seen to be appreciated,
for it cannot be described. Those who
attended the world's fair say this is one
of the things which fully come up to
what was to be seen there. r
. The exhibits of the different counties
in California of .coursehave a' sameness,
but are none the less Interesting. The
orange exhibits of Southern California
are especially fihe,: comprising "among
other things honses, arcbes, .Ferris
wheels, etc., of oranges.
The Examiner and Chronicle of this
city have offered prizes to be' given by
vt to the county having the best ex
hibit. S;ilinc comity eo far has the most
votes for the gold cup to be given by the
Examiner, but hs n-nal, it stems to me
does not deserve it as much as many
others. '
The attendance at the fair is increas
ing every day, but in spite of the efforts j

to reduce the price of admission, in the
words of the immortal fakir, it "still re
mains at 50 cents a head' Speaking of
fakirs, there are fakirs galore, as numer
ous as the fleas in San Francisco, and
one is anything but complimented to
have them .yell at you a block away,
'Here, lady, bay Bomething for the
children," or "Lady, has yonr husband
taken you to see Pharoah's -daughter,
the dead woman who is made alive?"
One feels inclined to (top and afck if
among the other illusions may be seen
the said . "husband" or "children."
Among other concessions which no vis
itor should fail to hear are the Vienna
Prater concerts. ' The orchestra is "im
mense" and in addition to that Satur
day evening was a chorus of about! 300
male voices, which was grand. . - j - "
Last Wednesday being Berkeley day,
the university students took the grounds
by storm, and we were not a little proud
to be escorted by a student from The
Dalles, and took it for Grant-ed that a
number of yonng ladies were envious.
The fireworks in the evening were de
cidedly "in sight" and the best we ever
saw. As the different pieces were dis
played, especially one representing the
main university building you could hear
the college yell "Rah rah, California, D.
C. Berkeley, Zip boom ahl" from every
part of the grounds. -
The next three days are to be the days
of the fair, when the famous Manli Gras,
which is held every year in New Or
leans, is to be celebrated. The city is all
decorated in red, green and yellow, and
great preparations are being made, -of
which I will tell you when I return.
We are taking in everything worth
seeing, from the mint down to the tilth
and degradation of Chinatown, and will
be fully learned when we return, which
will be by the next steamer. -
I forgot to tell yon of our ride on the
cainals in the streets of Cairo. Deter
mined not to miss anything, we perehed
ourselves on the back of one of tbote
ugly looking beasts, with the apsaiance
from the "black beanty" who led it tat
