A Woman Killed and a Man Wounded. ban FitANcisco, Mny 10, A lively shooting nffrny occurred on Kenrny street, between California and Sncra mento streets, about 1 o'clock this after noon, resulting In tho killing of n woman named Sarah Indlg, .and the wounding of n man named William A. MtunmerBctt. Aug. Daniels, nlias "Win. Willllts, did tlio principal portion of the shooting, nnd Is innlnly responsible for the killing of tho woman nnd tho wound ing of Hummersclt. Tho last named, however, fired two Bhots nt Daniels without effect. Tho cause of the trngo- dy was tho attractions of the woman. Daniels ran away with her from this city two years and u half ago, and took her to Los Angeles, where she assumed tho name of Sadio Ilay, nnd became the Inmato of a bagnio. About three months ngo Summersett, who wns orlgi nnllyfrom Oakland, went to Los An- gcleH nnd supplanted Daniels in tho woman's affections. Last week they packed up and the woman drew $700 of $1,000 that belonged to her and Daniels jointly. Slio and Summersett then left Los Angeles en route to Montana. On arriving hero the woman took up quart ers in n dlsrcputnblo house on Sacra mento street. Daniels, who made threats in Los Angeles to kill his rival, reached this city on Friday. Ho renewed the threats, and it is said laid In wait Fri day night to kill Summersett. To-dny lie traced the woman to the Sacramento street houso and walked down to Kear ny street with her He was importun ing her to return to Los Angeles with nun, but she refused and told him to leave her, saying, "If we meet Billy there'll bo trouble." On Kearny street the woman bhw Summersett on tho op posite sidewalk, nnd called him over. All threo then stopped and n quarrel ensued between the men. Summersett, according to tho Btory of an eyowitneps, assumed the aggressive nnd drew a large sized old fashioned Colt's revolver from his jiocket, and began to shoot. The fire wns returned by Daniels, who ran backwards nnd emptied three shots from a bull-dog pistol. One ot these caused tho death of the woman, who was shot in the right Bide, tho ball pass ing through and entering Her heart. The other two shots hit Summersett, one in the right chest and the other in tho left arm. Neither of them arc serious. It is said the woman gave Daniels $700 to leave her for good. It is not thought Daniels shot nt the woman, and the police believe thnt sho was killed by a stray shot. He was allowed to view tho body before it was taken to the morgue. lie wept like n child upon viewing it. Ho was charged with mur der and Summersett was placed in the receiving hospital. tor cleaning out the slngo tho robbers disappeared, nnd tho vehicle continued its journey. In n short time the opposi tion stage came along with four passen gers, nnd the hlghwnymon covered th driver with shotguns nnd compelled the passengers to form In a lino, and while one kept them covered, the other went through them, taking in all about $200, two watches nnd other valuables. As today Is pay-day for tho troops nt the post, it is generally thought that the robbery was committed in the hope of getting the paymaster's money, they no doubt supping that n portion of the amount, nt least, might come by ex press. As soon as the news reached the post .1 number of cavalrymen were at once sent out to scour the country. Civ ilians ns well as soldiers arc out look ing for the offenders, but considering the nature of the country, it is doubtful If tho guilty parties arc ever captured. RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

Santa Fe, N. M., May C A special from Fort Stanton Bays: Yesterday, about 3 a, in., at Bonita, 15 miles from here, Martin Nelson arose from bed, and while committing a robbery shot and killed Dr. William II. Flynn. late of Boston, who was sleeping in the same room with Nelson, upstairs in the houso of M. S. Maybury. Tho firing aroused tho family, when Nelson shot and killed Maybury, his wifo and two sons. A little daughter was wounded tatally. A neighbor was alarmed and tamo to tho house, and ho too was shot dead. It was suppposed tho murderer remained in tho house, and ten citizens watched it to prevent his escape, but at 7 n. m. tho guard was surprised to hear a shot from tho rear, and Herman Black fell tlead. Nelson then camo down the street, firing his Winchester until he was shot tlead. Nelson, when sane was n good citizen. He camo here four years ago from Nebraska. Tho sceno at tho houso of Maybury beggars description. Tho greatest ex citement prevails. In every direction lay dead bodies, clad in night clothes.

Whon tho stage arrived within threo or four miles of Post Cteur d'Aleno, whoro tho road runs through tho timber, two masked men armed with revolvers Btopped the vehicle nnd ordered tho passengers to dismount, form a lino nnd hold up their hands, tin invitation thoy responded to with nlacrity.

A(- Growlinp- at Gladstone Aggressive. Nnw YortK, May 10. A cable ppeclal from London says : Tho feeling on the Russian compromise is n curiously mix ed one relief at the escape from war nnd anger at the clumsiness of the es cape. Even tho strongest jingoes admit that the Pcnjdeh accident was a trum pery, and an absurd pretext for war, but tho public generally cannot forgive Gladstone for yielding, nfter his pas sionate orations nnd enormous pre parations. The real secret of the back-down was gross miscalcula tions concerning the intentions of the aineer, Thnt the nmeer sold Eng land there is little doubt, and it is now gravely d.scusscd whether the ameer is not a Russian agent, and whether it is not useless to deal with him. The latest developments to-night regarding the Anglo-Russian complication indicate the abandonment of even tho so-called arbi tration, which has been vaunted as an honorable mode of covering England's retreat. Not till to-day has tho English public been allowed to know what the arbitra tion agreement with Russia meant. Gladstone announced it to the house of commons on Monday in terms bo am biguous that Sir Stafford Northcote im mediately asked what was the precise point to bo referred to tho arbitrator. There was no answer from Gladstone, but the answer has now arrived from St. Petersburg. Russia evidently thinks it is for her interest to make known the terms of settlement which Gladstone thought it for his interest to conceal as long as possible. The czar calmly an nounces that Gen. Komaroff acted in entire accordance with his instructions and that he was not forbidden to ad vnnce, but only forbidden to occupy Ponjdeh. Russia, therefore, takes upon herself the entire responsibility of Gen. Komaroflfs action, but Binco the British cabinet thinks that the Russian cabinet ought, according to agreement, havo ordered Gen. Komaroff to abstain from all attack, Russia is willing to submit the interpretation of the agreement to arbi tration. In tho meantime negotiations respect ing tho frontier havo been resumed, and tho Russians remain in possession of the territory occupied, pending the de limitation of tho boundary. The feeling in England, at first ono of perplexity, is daily hardening into hos tility nnd anxiety at tho ultimate result ot tho peace obtained in this singular manner. Lord Randolpli Churchill at onco struck tho keynoto of his own par ty by denouncing tlio action of tho min istry as a base and cowardly surrender. Others employ less violent epithets, but dislike tlio policy adopted, tho radicals and purely ministerial liberals except ed. Russia, in fact, scores every point in the gamo. While pretending to nego tiate, sho occupies debated territory. Pledging herself March 10 not to ad vance, nntl declaring that sho had or dered Iter generals to avoid a conflict, she let loose Gen. Komaroff and slaugh tered tho Afghans. Required to npolo nize, sho refused. Asked to arbitrate on tlio Penjdoh incident, sho has con sented to refer, not tho Ponjdeh inci dent, but tho interpretation of tho agree ment. Kucti rciereuco can have no practical result. It cannot deprive her of ono foot of territory nor disturb the immenso prestige sho has won 111 Asia, und also in r.uropo. She refuses to plcdgo herself not to advance to Herat, or beyond tho frontier now to bo drawn almost exactly on tho Lessjir line. No wonder there is dismay in India and disgiibt in England. Tho recall of Sir Peter I.umsden,- though probably not demanded by Russia, is sure to lie con sidered in Asia as ono moro visible tok en of tho Russian triumph. It is not tho less a triumph because won by- flag rant perfidy, nor is immoditito peace qulto cortain, nor permanent peaco pro bable Wjiat England gains is n re prieve. What Russia gains, besldos everything elso, Is time tucomploto rail ways to the, frontier. Figuring to Capture the Senate. Tho domocrats hope to hnvo a ma jority in tho United States senate after tho 4th of March, 1887. Every nerve will bo strained to accomplish this re sult, us it will enable tho democrats to confirm all of tho president's appoint ments something thoy cannot do if tho republicans continue to hold their pres ent powor. On tho 3d of March, 1887, tho terms of 25 sonators 10 republicans und 0 democrats will oxplro, Tlio re publicans who will go out then nro Miller pf California, Howloy, Harrison, Halo, Dawes, Conger, McMillan, Van "Wyck, Howell, Miller of Now York, Slier man, Mitchell, Aldrich, Edmunds, Ma hone and Sawyer. Tho outgoing demo crats tire Gray, Jones of Florida, Gor man, Goorco, Cock roll, Fair, Jackson, Maxov and Caaidon, Tutte. aft al'ftii- cut two vacancies in the senate, both on tho republican side. Ono of theso will bejlllcd next winter by appointment by Gov. Moody of this state, nnd the other, from Illinois, now bids fair to bo filled by the re-election of John A. Logan. By way of recapitulation, tho situation may be stated as follows: Deducting tho 25 retiring senators 10 republicans nntl 9 democrats the remaining two-thirds of the body would stand 20 republicans to 25 democrats. As 39 is just a ma jority, tho republicans would hnvo to get 13 and the democrats would have to carry 14 of the 25 senatorial elections. Present political conditions indicate 11 of the states in which elections will oc cur as quite surely democratic nnd 9 ns republican. Tho democrats calculato that the very fact of their having the ad ministration, with its influence and pat ronage, will aid them very materially to obtain control of tho senate, and they entertain strong hopes of having a ma jority in the next legislature of this state. Passenger and freight trains on tlio Willamette Valley nnd Coast railway between Corvallis and Yaquina havo been discontinued until further notico, in consequence of the trouble existing between the railway company and somo of its late employes that have not been paid and who have threatened the de railment of trains nnd other acts of vio lence in revenge.
