Churchill also treated Lord Roseibery,
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Mr. John
Morley and other big leaders of the o
position to a dose ot chaffing, but "his
clever crlUcium and siwtiuli gttucntily
attracted considerable attention. The
conservative .Morning Post says:

SAN FRANCISCO. June J.-W. R.
Green and J. R. Porter, who were taken
to police headquarter and questioned In
connection wfth the mysterious dlsaip.
pearance of $22,000 ln gold on the steam
er Alameda, on her trip from Australia
to this port, were released by the po
lice after a few hours at haedquarters.
