A SMUGGLING STEAMER SEEN.
SENT TO STOCKTON.
Many Witnesses Affirm Jake Rudolph's
Insanity.
San Francisco. Jake Rudolph, who
attempted to kill the business manager
of the Chronicle on the 7th instant, has
been committed to the Stockton Insane
Asylumt as the result of the examina
tion before Superior Judge Levy and the
Insanity Commissioners. There was no
attempt to interpose a defense, and the
consensus of testimony established be
yond question that Rudolph was insane,
and that his mental condition was of he
reditary origin. Chris Buckley testified
that he had known him for twenty years,
' during the greater part of which time
Rudolph had been hi clerk and com
panion. The ex-boss recalled the occa
sional fits of melancholia which over
came Rudolph, who had several times
threatened to kill others and then him
self. Buckley believed Rudolph was in
sane, and that his insanity had been
hastened and aggravated by domestic
troubles. Sam Rainey's knowledge of
Rudolph extended over many years,
and he personally believed that the man
was insane, as well as dangerous to the
community. J. B. Eliot, whom Rudolph
tried to shoot, testified that he did not
know the man and had never seen him
before the assault. Lemuel Rudolph, a
brother of Jake, admitted the family
taint of madness, and confirmed the
statement that his father, mother and
sister were mentally irresponsible. Ex
Coroner W. F. Garwood, Dr. George
Franklin Shiels, Dr. J. D. Wilson, Noah
Flood and Dr. J. M. Bell testified that
they knew Jake Rudolph, and that they
believed he was insane. Rudolph was
accordingly committed to the asylum at
Stockton, with the provision that should
his reason be restored he must be turned
over to the San Francisco authorities for
trial upon the charge of assault with in
tent to commit murder.
TWO AGAINST ONE.
Decision of the Court in a Midwinter
Fair Dispute.
San Francisco. The suit of Conces
sionaire C. F. Hall against the Midwin
ter Fair management has been decided
in favor of the latter. Hall claimed that
in Chicago he bought the exclusive right
to exhibit gold and silver plating at the
Midwinter Fair. He paid $500 for the
privilege, and went to the further ex
pense of fitting up a $1,300 booth. After
he was in working trim he discovered
that three other people at the fair were
in the same line of business. ' Hall de
manded that their privileges should be
revoked. The management refused, to
ir-i .do this, and Hall brought suit for an in
junction. The whole case rested on his
application papers. Hall said he had
been unable to get them from the man
agement. The management declared
that they were " lost." In consequence
testimony had to be offered to show
what they contained. Hall swore they
granted him the " exclusive " privilege,
and pointed to his receipt to show that
he would not have paid the money had
he not got an exclusive right. Messrs.
de Young and Comely swore that Hall
had not been granted the "exclusive"
privilege. It was two against one. Judge
Murphy said that the preponderance of
evidence was on the side of the Midwin
ter Fair management and he must; per
force give judgment in its favor.
SMUGGLING STEAMER.
" The Strange Craft That Hovers About
i Monterey Ray.
Pacific Grove, Cal. Belated pedes
trians who were on the railroad track
that lines the beach near Chinatown the
other night were considerably amazed at
seeing through the thick fog the distinct
outlines of a small steamer. Being so
near the shore and among some of the
most dangerous rocks in this vicinity,
they came to the conclusion that the boat
was a smuggler. The helmsman evi
dently knew the ins and outs of the bay,
as no vessel could approach so near the
dangerous shore without being in great
peril. No lights could be discerned by
the men on shore. She had evidently
been there some time, and as soon as the
men on shore were seen by those on the
steamer the vessel was put about and
made straight for the open sea.' This is
the second occurrence of this kind in
this neighborhood, as on the 28th of
March last some railroad hands saw
what appeared by their description to
be the same boat that attempted landing
the other night. Monterey Bay is the best
harbor on the coast for smugglers, and
at times they have been captured here ;
but since the fifty Chinamen landed near
here by the Halcyon were taken into
custody the smugglers have been cau
tious. Some weeks ago several custom
house officials were at Pacific Grove, and
since then a close watch has been kept
by their orders, and some interesting
developments are looked for.
FENNIMORE CONVICTED.
The Ex-County Clerk .Found Guilty of
Embezzlement.
Poet Townsend. W. F. Fennimore,
bit-County Qlerk of Jefferson county, has
been convicted in the Superior Court of
embezzling $527.50. The jury recom
mended that he receive the lowest sen
tence consistent with the law. One year
before he retired from office two local
banks refused to pay their taxes on ac
count of their property being assessed at
an excessive valuation, and while the
matter was in adjudication paid to Fen
nimore the amount stated as a tender.
Subsequently the suit was decided in
favor of the banks, and Fennimore
turned the office over to the newly elected
County Clerk. ' The accused did not sur
render the money to his successor or the
County Treasurer. Such was the evi
dence adduced in the prosecution. The
defense offered no testimony except as
to Uennimore's previous good character
and reputation in the community. The
jury was out thirty minutes. Mr. Fen
nimore has lived in Jefferson county ten
years, and was a Deputy Collector of
Customs from 1883 to 1888. In 1880 and
1800 he was elected County Clerk bv
large majorities, leading the head of the
tickets by 200 or 300.
ASTORIANS REJECT IT.
The Stanton-Campbell Proposition is
Decided Adversely.
Astoria. The Stanton-Campbell rail
road proposition was considered by the
'Astoria railroad subsidy committee and
decided upon adversely. The main ob
jection found was that it was proposed
to tie up the subsidy for twenty days,
and this in accordance with the previous
determination of the committee to enter
tain no offer other than one to complete
the road was rejected. Whether the
Stanton-Campbell party will now retire
is a matter of conjecture, although Mr.
Stanton stated before his departure for
Portland that he would abandon the en
terprise for good. Many of his friends
here, however, claim that he will again
be in the field with an amended propo
sition in the course of two or three
weeks. The belief is gaining ground that
the Union Pacific will build the river
road this summer, and various rumors
to that effect, all apparently well found
ed, are current. The sentiment of the
majority of the property owners is fa
vorable to Messrs. Baxter and Dicken
son, in whose good faith and ability to
bring the matter to a successful issue
there is a pretty general confidence.
LITTLE ANNIE MOONEY.
Many Reasons to Relieve That She Is
Emily Freeman.
San Fbancisco. The police ridicule
the story that Emily J. Freeman is the
missing Annie Mooney. Sergeant Haley,
who has had a hand in the investigation,
says anxiety and worry over the loss of
his daughter has affected James Moon
ey 's mind, and that for that reason his
identification of the girl is of no value.
It goes without saying that this police
opinion is of no real weight in determin
ing the identity of the girl, which is the
real question at issue. Mary Cuneo, the
woman who is supposed to have abducted
little Annie Mooney, was in the city
about the time of the picnic at Belmont,
and she had the child in her possession
shortly after that event. The Freeman
girl was that child beyond possibility of
question, and there are many circum
stances, including the maudlin admis
sions of the old woman, which help out
the theory that Annie Mooney has been
found.
ASKS FOR DIVORCE.
The Parties Are Prominent, and Sensa
tionalism is Promised.
Seattle. A sensational divorce suit
was begun here the other day. The
plaintiff is Mrs. Dr. Rawson, cousin of
Prince Yterbide of Mexico, with whom
she was formerly in love and with whom
she was recently received at Washington,
V. C, by Secretary Uresham. bhe is
supposed to have been jilted by him,
and, meeting Dr. Rawson, who is a very
handsome man, on a train while she was
yet only 17 years old, she married him

THE CANAL BILL OF BRYAN.
A Plan for 'Completing the Nicaragua
Canal by the United States by a New
System of Financiering.
Washington. A plan for the comple
tion of the Nicaragua canal by this gov
ernment by a new system of financiering
has been introduced in the House by its
author, Bryan of Nebraska. While some
features of Senator Morgan's product are
repeated, a great innovation is brought
forward by provisions intended to in
crease the circulating medium of the
country, paying for the stock of the canal
company by an issue of legal-tender
notes modeled after the greenbacks of
1862. The plan is designed so as to meet
favor from the anti-bond men. Accord
ing to the bill the stock of the canal com
pany is to consist of 1,000 shares of $100
each, for which legal United- States notes
identical in character to those issued
under the act of February, 1862, are to
be issued, redeemable to the same ex
tent and same manner as those of 1862.
The Secretary of the Treasury is to pur
chase $70,000,000 of the stock of the
company and pay for it at par by the
issue of the notes described, which are
to be kept in circulation as a part of the
currency of the country. Six millions
of the capital stock is to be issued to the
government of Nicaragua, $500,000 to
Costa Rica, and the remaining $23,500,
000 is to be held in the Treasury until
the government decides whether to pur
chase it or permit it to be sold by sub
scription, except ah amount not to ex
ceed $7,000,000, to be used by the com
pany in taking up its outstanding stock.
Provision is made for an immediate issue
of $2,000,000 as a working capital and
the issue of the remainder in quarterly
installments as may be necessary to
carry on the work of construction.
FIGHTING SMALLPOX.
Extra Precautions Taken by the Chicago
Authorities.
Chicago. Mayor Hopkins and Health
Commissioner Reynolds have issued a
joint proclamation requiring all persons
in the city who have not been vacci
nated to have that operation performed
within ten days under penalty of prose
cution under a city ordinance providing
a fine of not less than $3 nor more than
$25 for failure. Those who cannot afford
to pay for vaccination will be treated
free. The Commissioner has put 100
men on the rolls. They consist mainly
of physicians and senior medical stu
dents, and will be used as vaccinators.
To the force of men investigating daily
the "sweat shops" twenty-five others
were added, making the total force fifty.
The health officials have secured a lum
ber kiln in which to fumigate clothing.
This will be useful in the fumigation of
clothing taken from " sweat shops." On
account of the prevalence ot the disease
the City Collector has temporarily re
fused licenses to junk dealers.
LOVE HAS FOREVER FLED.
Lillian Russell and Signor Perugini
Agree to Separate.
New Yoke. Lillian Russell and her
husband, Signor Perugini, who is known
in private life as John Chatterton, have
separated forever and aye. This an
nouncement, which is made positively
on the authority of no less a person than
Miss Russell herself, will be a big sur
prise to the public, as the memory of her
marriage to her fellow-singer, not quite
four months ago, is not yet faded, but to
those who are intimate with Miss Rus
sell and her husband it will come only as
the logical result of their difference in
temperament, which became pronounced
a few days after the strange Sunday
morning ceremony performed by a Ho
boken Justice of the Peace. For to their
relatives and others close to them the
songbirds made no secret of their sad
discovery that their hearts, unlike their
voices, were not attuned and never could
be. '
LABOR IN OREGON.
A Statement From the American Pro
tective Tariff League.
Washington. The American Protect
ive Tariff League has prepared a state
ment showing the condition of labor in
Oregon. From 140 different reports in
thirty-five dinerent towns it is shown
that the total average number of hands
employed in 1892 was 3,848. In 1893
there were 3,021, and in 1894, 1,512.
This was a decrease in 1893 of 21 per
cent, and in 1894 of 60 per cent. Seventy-six
reports were received from
Portland, showing 2,o89 hands employed
in 1892 and 1,154 in. 1894. The statement
says the deplorable condition in Oregon
is not confined to any one industry, but
extends to grain-storing, flour mills, ag
cultural implements, sheep and wool,
furniture, hardware, lumber, iron and
steel, building, etc. The details of the
depression from all sections of the State
are given.
Locusts in Arkansas.
Little Rock. Reports come from all
over the State that locusts are abundant,
and many fruit growers are making anx
ious inquiries regarding their destructive
habits and their probable damage to
fruit and crops.
NATIONAL CAPITAL NEWS.
A bill to provide for coinage at the
branch mint at Denver, Uol., has been
introduced in the House by Pence. It
appropriates $600,000 for the construc
tion of the necessary plant. '
The House Committee on Pensions
has voted to report a bill increasing the
rates of pensioners of the Mexican and
Indian wars from $8 to $17 a month.
Representative Caminetti of California
had introduced a bill to give this increase
to Mexican war pensioners, and the com'
mi t tee decided to extend it to Indian
war survivors.
There was a brisk discussion in the
Senate over the naval tr amine station
on the Pacific Coast. The California
Senators insisted that the station be lo
cated at Mare Island. Mitchell, Dolph
and Squire insisted that the matter be
left to a commission, and that the Co
lumbia river and Puget Sound be con
sidered. White and Perkins got angry.
and withdrew the bill. I
Representative Wilson of Washington
is prepared to show that the House cut of
the Apache Indian appropriation! from
$125,000 to $90,000 will necessitate a re
duction next year of 1,000,000 pounds! of
beei and pounds ol hour, it is
his opinion this cut is likely to lead to
trouble with the Apaches. It will also
be shown that the Indian police service
will be made inefficient by the proposed
cut and the Indian schools crippled.
There are many other specific items
likely to cause an uprising among the
Indians.

Senator Squire has offered an amend
ment to the river and harbor bill provid
ing for the Seattle canal in a new form,
as follows: "Dredging Shilshole Bay
and Salmon Bay and improvement of the
waterway connecting the waters of Pu
get Sound at Salmon Bay with Lakes
Union and Washington by enlarging he
waterway into a ship canal, with neces
sary locks and appliances in connection
therewith, $200,000." He also offered an
amendment of $25,000 for dredging Ev
erett harbor, including ! the mouth of
Snohomish river and Snohomish river
from its mouth to Lowell.
Among the serious charges Secretary
Herbert is investigating on the. coast
defense ship Monterey at San Francipco
is one relating to the virtual ruining: of
the hydraulic turrets, which contain the
big twelve-inch rifles of that ship's bat
tery. It is understood that on the re
cent sea cruise of the ship during prac
tice firing of the guns it was thought by
the officer in charge that the hydraulic
mechanism for taking up the recoil need
ed modification. One of the machinists
of the ship was ordered to take out the
plungers and reduce their diameter a
quarter to half an inch. The plungers
were reduced one-quarter, and when the
guns were fired again the water naturally
rushed past the plungers with very little
resistance, and every pipe and joint con
nected with the apparatus burst, flood
ing the turrets and necessitating repairs
which will consume several weeks.
Attorney-General Olney has rendered
an opinion in which he holds the settle
ment made by Secretaries Windom and
Foster with the North American Com
mercial Company, by which the govern
ment for the years 1890, 1891 and 1892
received a less rental both as to the bo
nus and the rental per skin than was
originally agreed upon, was illegal and
therefore is not binding upon the present
Secretary. This reduced rental and tax
was accepted because the company had
not been permitted to take the lull num
ber of skins ordinarily specified in the
lease as a limit. In view of this decision
the Secretary has made a formal demand
upon the company for the full amount of
rent and per skin tax for the year 1893,
and has referred to the Attorney-General
for such action as he may deem advis
able the matter of collecting from the
company the full amount due from the
previous years. The whole amount
claimed to be due the government is
about $320,000, of which $132,000 is on
account of the 1893 catch.
All but the final step has, been taken
in the admission of Utah as a State of
the Union. A favorable report on the
bill has been made to the Senate by
Faulkner, Chairman of the Committee
on Territories. It is provided that the
election for a constitutional convention
shall be held the Tuesday after the first '
Monday in November, 1894; that this
convention shall meet the first Monday
in March, 1895, and that the constitution
framed by this convention and the elec
tion of State officers under it and mem
bers of the State Legislature shall take
place the Tuesday after the first Monday
in November, 1895. This would leave
the constitutional convention to fix the
time for the election of the Legislature,
which would elect United States Sena
tors. It is believed that the House will
agree to the Senate amendments, and in
that case Utah will be started on its way
to Statehood some time during this ses
sion of Congress.
The legislative and judicial appropria
tion bill has been completed by the Ap
propriation Committee. It carries the
salaries of all the goverment officers for
the coming year. The whole amount
recommended in the bill is $21,101,823,
being a reduction under the estimates of
$1,208,687 and a reduction under the ap
propriation act of the current year of
$766,190. The whole number of salaries
especially provided for in the bill is 10,
110, being 363 less than the number pro
vided for in the law for the current year.
The reorganization of the Treasury De
partment on the basis recommended by
the Dockery commission is a feature of
the bill. It reduces the Treasury force
185, and reduces expenses $239,080. An
other new feature of the bill is the pro
vision for printing 10,000 copies of the
rebellion records, both of the Union and
Confederate navies, to be apportioned
among Senators and members and by
them distributed to libraries. The ap
pointment by the Secretary of the Treas
ury 6f a chief of the revenue cutter
service is provided for. The item for
sugar inspectors, heretofore in the bill,
has been dropped, as the committee evi
dently believes there will be an abolition
of sugar bounties. , ,
THE EARTHQUAKE.
Scores of Cities and Towns in
Venezuela Destroyed..
HE GOES FORTH AN EXILE.
Count Elie Talleyrand-Perigord Must
Leave France to Avoid Prosecution
for Large Forgeries.
Paris. Since the Deacon family skel
eton was brought to the view of the
public Paris has had no sensation equal
to the Count Elie Talleyrand-Perigord
affair. That the charges made by young
Lebaudy are well backed seems certain
from the fact that Princess Sagan, mother
of the Count, has consented to pay a
sum equal ' to $520,000. Whether the
Count or M. de Woestyn, both of whom
are now at liberty, thanks to the Prin
cess, knew they were handling forged
notes has not appeared in evidence; but
that somebody forged Lebaudy's name
to paper for a fabulous sum is certain.
Under the agreement Count Elie will go
out of France for a number of years, and
De Woestyn will probably leave Paris.
There is little doubt now that the Count
fell into the hands of sharpers, who soon
relieved him of whatever he realized
from the sale of the notes, for he has
not a franc left. In fact, he goes abroad
under a pension settled upon him by his
mother, who is willing to make any sac
rifice if he will reform.
TEN THOUSAND LIVES LOST.
Cities and Towns In Venezuela Destroyed
by an Earthquake Shock.
Caracas. The Herald's correspond
ent telegraphs : A terrible earthquake
shock took place in Venezuela April 28.
Reports which have been received here
from the districts affected tell of terrible
loss of life and the destruction of vil
lages and towns. The cities of Merida,
Lagunillas, Chiguara and San Juan, sit
uated in the northwestern part of the
Republic in the region of the Andes, are
reported as having been totally destroyed
by a fierce shock at 11 o'clock on the
night of the 28th. Many villages are
said to be wrecked, but details are not
yet to be had. The convulsions extend
ed to parts of the adjacent Republic of
Colombia. Full reports of the catas
trophe will be learned slowly, but it is
probable that 10,000 people have per
ished, and it is certain that the greatest
Buffering prevails in the places visited
by the earthquake. The United States
Minister here has notihed the State De
partment at Washington of the terrible
effects of the catastrophe, and has asked
that assistance be given to the people of
the stricken districts.
FROM OUR CHARGE D'AFFAIRES.
Washington. Secretary Gresham has
received the following cablegram from
Bartlemann, United States Charge d'Af
faires at Caracas, Venezuela: "An
earthquake od the 28th of April de
stroyed the cities of Egido and Merida
and several villages. The loss of life is
said to be heavy."
ENGLAND'S LARGE PROBLEMS.
On Their Solution Will Depend the Fu-
. ture of the Empire.
London. The Times comments edi
torially on a series of articles concerning
Canada, which it has published recently.
The writer says : " It seems manifest
that of the large problems, on the suc
cessful solution of which the future of
the British Empire will depend, there
are very few which are not more or less
directly illustrated by Canadian experi
ence, and the probable solution that Ca
nada will find, whether for good or evil,
largely affects the organic structure of
the empire. It is certain that the influ
ence of Canada on the international re
lations of Great Britain and the United
States have tended more than anvthing
else to a peaceful settlement by arbitra
tion of questions which under less favor
able conditions might have proved in
tractable to diplomacy. It is not per
haps altogether fanciful to surmise the
beneficent results achieved in this direc
tion. Possibly they , will be the germ of
future developments almost too vast and
far reaching for the political imagina
tion of living men to conceive. What
may be the future of Canada's relations to
the United States on the one hand and
to Great Britain on the other no man
can yet say, but none can doubt that the
problem here propounded is big with the
fate of untold generations."
Settled by the Pope.
London. A dispatch from Rome says
the Pope has resolved to put an end to
all differences existing between Monsig-
nore Satolli and the American Bishops.
The Propaganda has gathered all mate"
rial ior an immediate ana airecc inter
vention, and it is probable another svnod
of the American Catholic Hierarchy will'
be ordered for the purpose of directing
the growing organization of Catholicism
in America. The opinions of religious
orders are now obtained from the Vati
can, and they greatly favor the appoint
ment of cathedral chapters and legates
in America.
To Discuss Disestablishment. ;
London. The Liberal Federation of
the North of Wales resolved at a recent
meeting that, as the government had re
fused to pledge themselves to carry the
Welsh disestablishment bill this session.
the federation should take an independ
ent line of action and convoke the Welsh
Liberals to discuss the situation.
WHY CAMPING OUT IS POPULAR.
Girls Who Know Say That as a Proposal
Provoker There's Nothing Like It.
Wise girls have begun to realize that
the man who goes from town for a gen
uine outing does not hie himself to some
swell hotel, there to don as many suits
per day as a fashionable belle and be
come worn to the bone in his efforts to
please at least a dozen girls at one time
without offending any one of them. No,
indeed, there is too much work about
this method of summering. It ' savors
too strongly of labor for the man in
search of rest and recreation to enter
Into with zest.
Therefore the feminine mind having
grasped this fact, feminine lips form the
query, "Where does he go?" and the an
swer comes wafted back from mountain
lakes and piney groves, "To camp."
Then says the wise maiden: "I will go
to camp, too, for of what use are pretty
gowns where there are no men to appre
ciate them; of what value a fine orches
tra and smooth floor when girls must
perforce dance with girls or sit and tap
their feet in time to the music and wish
for a man to come? What will it mat
ter if camp gowns are not as stylish as
yachting or evening affairs planned es- :
pecially for the summer season by the
sea? Will there not be men, and what
are such trifles as gowns in comparison
with the lords of creation?"
One young woman who has just re
turned from a month of camp life on
Lake Otsego goes into raptures over its
simple pleasures and its beautifying
qualities. Of course tent life is prac
tically abolished, and in' its stead are
rude little cottages, which, however,
serve to protect the youthful explorers
from sudden showers and fierce gales,
that used to play sad havoc with, the
canvas and the feelings of those who re
garded living in a genuine tent as the ,
only way to actually realize the mean
ing of the expression "camping out."
In this especial camp were twenty-six
young folks, the professor and his wife,
who did duty as chaperons for the gay
crowd, and a colored coolt, whose quar
ters were removed somewhat from the
rest, and who took a fiendish delight in
calling "breakfast" at unseemly hours,
and thus getting up the contingent of
sleepy heads, who would wax exceed
ing wroth on finding themselves up an3
waiting at least a half hour before the
fish, potatoes, bread, butter and coffee,
which constituted -the first meal, were
ready to be served.
The girls, twelve of them, were all in
one cottage, which was in reality a sin
gle large room, and their bed? were bunks
that pulled up like steamer berths, but
which were much wider and more com
fortable than those precarious resting
places. The meals were served in a pavil
ion adjoining the men's quarters, and in
these last named apartments many gay
dances were held, as their trunks could
be stowed away, leaving a splendid
space for genuine summer frolics.
Besides this there were moonlight ser
enades to and by neighboring camps, a
grand float down the lake with lanterns,
banjos, mandolins atfd camp songs,
among which the Sunday school scholars'
remained prime favorite; gay straw
rides to Cooperstown, boating and fish
ing, and last, but not least among the
attractions, must be named "the sum
mer school."
This proved to be nothing more or less
than the going off in couple of men and
maidens ostensibly to study or read cur
rent literature, but as eight engage- '
ments have been announced it is well to
suppose that there was not much study
ing of a kind other than lovers indulge
in during those walks to and from and
the attendance at nature's own seminary.
"For downright fun, loads of atten
tion and sentiment by the bushel," said
the girl who tried it for the first time
and had three offers in the three weeks
she was there, "give me camp life every
time. "--Philadelphia Press.
Daisies and Buffalo Bugs.
A queer thing was told us the other
day by a lady whose new house sudden
ly became infested with buffalo bugs,
which eat everything in their path. A
friend told her that the buffalo bug's
birthplace is found in the golden cup of
the iovely common field daisy that
everybody loves. Determined to in
vestigate the matter, she looked into
some daisy cups growing in a field, and
