CHASING A MURDERER Frank Harwood Followed Round the World. IS A VERY DESPERATE CRIMINAL Escaped From an Australian l'rlson and Bis I'ursuerM Uopo to' Capture Him In California. Victouia, Jan. 5. Four men arc rac ing around the world, for San Fruncieco, and if they meet there one of them will go hack to New South Wales to be tried for a series of horrifying murders that have aroused all Australia to a pitch of intense excitement. The arch murderer escaped from New castle on a sailing vessel hound for San Francisco, Two of the cleverest of the colonial police started in pursuit on a steamer bound to Victoria. A third is on his way from London to meet his as sociates at the Golden Gate. Oil the race the man-hunters have tar outdis tanced the sailing vessel upon which the man accused of awful crimes took passage as one ot the crew. Two de tectives have just arrived in Victoria and started for San Francisco. The vessel upon which the accused man sailed is not expected to reach port within twenty-five days. All unaware of the reception he will be given, Frank Harwood, alias Butler, alias Burgess, alias Simpson, alias Claire, alais Lee Weller, is sailing nearer to San Fran cisco in the guise of an honest sailor of the crew of the four-masted ship Swan hide, which left Newcastle, N. S. W., November 28th, coal laden for the me tropo'is of California. In the first place, no suspicion rested upon him when he sailed from the Australian port; in the second place, he fancied himself secure under tho name of one of his victims, Captain Lee Weller. Hardwood, or Butler, as the latter is generally supposed to bo his correct name, is claimed to be the most desper ate murderer that has horrified the pub lic since "Jack the Ripper" closed his teriible career among the wretched habitues of London's White chapel. His trail of blood, it is said, leads from New South Wales to the reefs of West ern Australia, where, in Coolgardie and other camps he is more than suspected of similar deliberate murders. The list of missing men with whose disappearance he has been known to be identified or believed to be con nected numbers fourteen, He made n business of minder, his methods being to advertise in the daily papers for party to engage in prospecting in a richly mineralized district. Stipulation was made that the victim must have 10 capital. Of course many a poor fel low fell into the trap, entered into part nership with this fiend and went with POWDER CO., NEW YORK. him out into the wilderness to search for gold. Not one ever returned. The tapers Are Missing:. Washington, Jan. 5. According to the communication Bent the senate by Secretary Olney today, some papers in the account showing the amount due the Pacific roads sinking fund, on account of subsidies paid the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company, have apparently been lost.

Chris Schauers, jr., treasurer of the National Bauk for Savings, committed euicide last night. His body was discovered this morning dangling from the rafters in a closet of the Allegheny gymnasium. The presi dent of the hank says Schauers' accounts are straight. Schauers has not been in good health and was very morose. The Dauntless Lauded. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 5. A dis patch from Key West states that the Dauntless successfully landed its expe dition to Cuba. The expedition, it is said, is the one the Three Friends at tempted to land when pursued by the Spanish gunboat and left at No Name Key, from which place it was taken last Friday by the Dauntless. Something to Know. It may be worth something to know that the very best medicine for restoring the tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the stomach,, gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off impurities in the blood. Electric Bit ters improves the appetite, aids diges tion and is pronounced by those who have tried it as the very best blood puri fier and nerve tonic. Try it.

Cattle and Agricultural Products Con sidered Today. Washington, Jan. G. A large delega tion of gentlemen from the West ap peared before the ways and means com mittee today, the schedule considered be ing agricultural produce and cattle. The first speaker was F. N. Rockwell, of Warren, Pa., a cattle-raiser, grazing both in Mexico or Kansas. He opposed high duties. The McKinley rate on cat tie, he said, was prohibitive, and injured the farmers of Kansas, who were bene fitted by international grazing. The herds wore taken to Kansas for a period of from six. to eight months. M. M. Sherman, of Salina, Kan., rep resented that two-thirds of tho cattle imported from Mexico in the United States were owned by Americane. Sherman thought high duties on cattle had been decided upon by congress to keep out Canadian competition without thought of the Mexican business. He argued as Rockwell had, that the chief effect of the law was to injure Americans who invested their money in Mexico. "Then you think the tariff should be governed by the nationality of the pro ducers of goods?" Grosvenor osked. Sherman asssented to this, whoreup Grosvenor inquired what effect this sys tem would have on imported goodB of other lines. Asked why he removed tc Mexico, Sherman said because of lack of ranges here. Chairman Dingley said there 'vero plenty of ranges in Colorado, Wyoming and other Western states. "It is not possible to acquire title to the ranges in this country," was the answer. "Morever," said the witness. "American laws give a man's competi tors the advantage' of all the improve ments he introduces into his business." Representative Curtis of Kansas, said be represented a district in which more Mexican cattle were fed than any other in tho United States. In behalf of American cattle-raisers, feeders and farmers of Kansas, be asked to have re stored the duty of $10 a head on all cat tle one year old and over, and $2 a head on calves less than a year old. "I would have the duty absolutely prohibitory on every agricultural pro duct that can be raised in this country," said Curtis. "Kansas would like duties on hay, oats and flaxseed." "How about silver?" 'A lurge duty on silver would be a good plan." Representative Bowers, of California, declared the Wilson law had killed the cattle buaineec of California, flooding the state with Mexican cattle. He combat ted the statements ai cattle raisers that but few Mexican cuttle imported were sold, being brought in for feeding. On behalf of California fruitgrowers, Bowers asked for higher duties on fruit, of which the $10,00,000 worth imported annually, he said, might be grown by Americans. He suggested a duty of 3 cents per pound on raisins, plums, prunes and all other dried fruits and 25 cents per cubic foot on oranges. He said Americans were peculiar about some things, and preferred foreign wines and fruits at higher prices, just as some of their daughters preferred greasy liber tines and gamblers because they had a foreign label. He read petitions from the raisin-growers. Senator Perkinks, of California pre sented a memorial recently adopted by the state fruitgrower's organization. In addition to the recommendation by Bowers, he asked for duties on nuts, lima beans and chickory, and that the duty of the Wilson law on cocoanuts be dropped. The duty asked on lima beans was 40 cents per 100 pounds, on raw chicory cents a pound; on manu factured the present rate of 2 cents. A duty on pearl barley was asked also, The almond-growers of California were represented by T. C. Armstrong, ot Campo. He etated that $12,000,900 to $15,000,000 was invested in the business, and from 20,000 to 30,000 bands em ployed. The business had been brought to the verge of bankruptcy by the Wil son law, and an increase of rates from 3 cents to 0 cents was aked. Doom of the Theater Hat. CiuoAHO, Jan, 5.
