San Francisco, Feb. 24 John W.
Mackay, the famous capitalist, was ebit
in the back wbilb standing in an alley in
the rear of the Lick bouse, at 12.25 this
afternoon. Hia assailant was an old man
whose identity is not yet d:tc ostd. At'
ter shootincr Mickav, he . turned the
weapon on himself, tnd it is believed
mortally wounded himself, t ia not
thought'tbat Mack ay's wound is fatal
Mackay's astai'ant was a white haired
man named Duun, fully 70 years of age,
Mackav was standins in the alley in the
rear of the Lick house. Dunn fired
poiut blank at Mackav, the bullet enter
ing the letter's back Dunn then turned
the pistol to his own breast and fired,
the ball passing just above the heart
Mackay was at oLce pieced ;n a carriage
and driven awiiy. How serious his
wound is, b s not been learned. The
motive ot the shooting is not known .
Dnnn, it is how stated, had a grievance
against MacKsy, fancied or otherwise,
dating back to mining days, and sougm
in this manner to kill him He is a man
73 years ol age. He shut himaelf over
the heart, but did not expire immedi
atrly, as first stated, but was at once re
moved to the receiving hospital, where it
wa stated be w-is d log a 1 ociock.
Mr. Mackav after being sbot walked
to his room in the Palace hotel.. To a re
porter be said he had never sen the man
who shot bim before, and did not know
why be did it. Mackay was very coo!,
and walked about bis apartment in the
Palace hotel
"I was to leave for Virginia City, Nev ,
this evenink, be said, "and was on my
wav to the hotel. I walked np Sutter
street to Lick alley to avoid- the crowd.
As I entered the alleyway a man jumped
ont behind me from a doorway and hot
me in the back He then pnt the pisto'
to his own breast and fired one shot . I
knew I was injured, but did not know
bow badly. After tb'e man fell to the
ground I walked to the hotel, told the
it
pie I was oho' and waited tor a cue-
The surgeons who ' examined
Mackay have not yet located the bmlct
Mackay is wonnded midway between
the shoulder blades, and when seen did
not seem to be suffering rnuEh pain.
' When Mackay's assailant arrived at the
receiving hospital he was near V nncon
scions. He wai shot through the left
breast. . The bullet went clear through
bis body, and there is no hope of his re
covery. In his pocket was found a let
ter addressed to the Examiner It wes
beaded : -
'PC D FOB REFLECTION. "
'Paid $150,0(10 'or one sapphire to

Colfax, Feb. 24 The icpoit of Ed
Hill's escape, following close on the news
of his capture In Arizona, .caused a sen
sation in Whitman county, where bis
three accomplices await trial frr murder
in the first degree. Hill administered
the fatal stab to o d Lmgford Summers

was $1000 reward for his capture, which
amount wig clulmed bv Depu'y Sheriff

patch received today from Pi cents, Ariz

wis captured about ten days ago in tbe
Sierr Anchss mountains, 70 mibs east
ol PbCBniz by Webb, who bad followed
him six hundred miles in a wanderinp;

Cleveland's) Peltry. '
. Washington, Feb. 24 There is con
sjernation among certain candidates - for
places under tbe new administration.
Mr. Cleveland has given ont bis policy
He has determined that new men shall
e selected almost without exception.
The acnonncement of this policy ccmi-i
through members of the ntw cabinet.
From time to time, it has been rumored
thut Mr. Cleveland bad views which
would stand in the way of bis former
office-holders who are seeking reap
pointment; but this is tne fitst authorita
tive announcement. Mr. Cleveland take
tbe position that his former appointees
f boa Id have gone to work after losing
their offices lour years ago. The fact
that they are turning up now for reap
pointment is evidence to him that tbey
have been waiting four years to get back,
aud .be does not believe in encouraging
tbat 8 rt-of thing Conversing about
the wisdom of tbis policy, he refers to
himself. He says that alter bia defeat
be thongbt no more of office holding,
turned his atten'ion - to tbe practice of
law and was miking a very good living.
He did not seek a renomioation and only
yielded as a matter of duty to the will
of tbe people. He says it would have
been unseemly for him to have sought
the presidency again aud be tbinks it is
unseemly for those who were assistant
secretaries, commissioners paymasters,
marshals, district - attorneys, ministers,
consuls, and what not, to appear pressing
claims tn reappointment. This substance
of Mr. Cleveland's conversation is being
repeated to tbe friends of candidates
who are trying to get back their old
placet. Tbey are ' being told with em
phasis tbat their efforts will be of no
avail.
1 . Will Extend tke Tubs.
Panama, -Feb. 24 Inasmuch as any
American proposition concerning the
c,anal will be dependent upon the action
of congress next fa L and as Colombia
ha no funds with which to care for tbe
material shun d she deny tbe French an
extension of time and declare tbe prop
etty ot tbe company forfeited, it is con
sidered likely that an extension of a
year will be granted to ill Mauge. Ibe
fact that the rights of Colombia in tbe
matter are guarmteed by ' both the
Uni'ed' States and .ireat Britain has a
determining effect in this direction .
Whatever arrangement is. made, how
ever, will be on linrs laid .dowo bv C

membership limited to less than 1800

tiy, except in times of war, is being

Vancouver Independent: It was largely
due to this Oregon misfortune the mortgage
tax law that Washington's growth and
financial resources surpassed the growth
and developments of Oregon To this fact
and the nnceasmg efforts of Portland capit
alists to remove this law and further fhe
nest interests of their state they were led
to tbe repeal of the obnoxious mortgage tax
law, and Oregon is once more a free state.
We say tree because it has been relieved
from the most damnab e encumbrance that
ever disgraced the fair name of the state,
and it may now go forth to the financial
world that another unfettered field for prof
itable investment is now open. The ban
bas been removed. -

of the state of Oregon will bnng their face
in gold at any time. Tnere are plenty of
bankers and other people in Oregon, Calif- '
ornia and elsewhere who will take them np
fast as they are issned. Only a few days
ago a letter was reoeived from a big New
York nrm wanting to boy all tbe warrants
that are issued or likely to be, indorsed.
'not paid for want of funds." Such war
rants draw eight per sent interest, and, as
Oregon hss do state debt, they are gilt

No state in tbs Union has a better credit
than Oregon. So don't get excited, friends,
about the money running short. If overy -
