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

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. The senate adopted a resolution
on the 10th ultimo calling for them.
Acting Secretary Curtis replies today
that tliev cannot be found.
Bank Treasurer Hung Himself.
Fittshuho, Jan, 5. 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. Sold for
uOu or $1.00 per bottle at Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store. (2)
A Spot on Old Sol.
Lick OnsKitv.vroitv, via San Jose, Cal,,
Jan. 5. On photographing the sun this
morning Mr. Colton found a large spot
neat the eastern limb, which is easily
visible without teleecopic aid. It is
mostly penumbral, however, the nucleus
being small. The extreme length of the
spot is about 08,000 miles.
No one would drink poor
tea if he or she knew the
difference in tea.
Good tea is not costly.

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.
