Tlio Appearance of Otis Hates Creates Com-
motion Among His leather's Heirs.
San Francisco, Cal., November 25.--
[Special]—The appcarance in this city of
young Otis Bates of British Columbia, after
an absence of seven years, has caused com-
motion in his family, as the boy was sup-
posed to be dead. He was not received very
graciously by his step-mother, who has ap-
propriated all of liis father's estate. Young
Bates, who had just reached his majority,
claimed the larger part of tho estate valued
at $30,000, and has already made a demand
for It. His story reads like a romance.
Captain Bates, bis father, more than thirty
years ago came out from Boston around the
Horn and drifted to Arizona and Mexico,
lie made some inonw, and then ten years
later went to Thompson river, B.
C., about two hundred miles from
Victoria, Ho founded a settlement
known as Bates' flats. He had large herds
of cattle. He started numerous stores for
trading with the Indians, and when tho
mining excitement broke out he handled
some of the best mines. He also acquired
timber and farm lands by the thousand acres.
Bates, like most white men at that time,
lived with an Indian woman as his wife, and
Otis, wandering here, is hor son. Soon af-
ter the boy's birth Bates married a Danish
lady and abandoned the Indian woman. He
mailo amnio provision for his squaw, and
took the half-breed boy to his new home
in Victoria. In a short time he moved
to Oakland and built a fine residence.
Tbore he lived with his wife and
Otis until he died about eight years ago.
The widow, after a decent period of mourn-
ing, married C. H. Harrison, an English-
man of small means. Harrison and the boy
Otis did not love cach other, so there was
no objection when the lad wanted to go to
sea. He was shipped oil' to Australia, and
that was the last seen of him until he ap-
peared a few days ago. Ills family regarded
nim as dead, and his relatives divided his
inheritance.
Unless they yield what he claims there
will be a lively contest. Tho young heir
has had lively experiences, being ship-
wrecked several times, and spending more
than live years as a cow-boy in Old Mexico.
THE POLITICAL-STORM CENTER HAS
MOVED OVER FRANCE.
Indications Point to n Crisis—lJoulaiigei's
Silence Ominous—His Strength I ndi-
uUulshctl Indignation on the An est
ot I'urliumeiit Mcubci'l.
Pari?, November 25.—[Special]—Tho po-
litical storm center has moved over Franco.
All indications point to a crisis. People
with long memories remark that the state
i of affairs in Paris at the present moment
reminds them of the situation which pre-
ceded tho Napoleonic coup d'etat of 1851.
The republic was weakened by internal dis-
sensions, parties were divided into factions,
and the legislature was unable to control
itself and lmd lost its hold upon the country.
Although the republicans had a largo nu-
merical majority, they were menaced by a
man formerly considered ridiculous, but
who, by the magio of his name, had made
himself called
the prince president.
Ho complained that his safety was threat-
ened by sections, as Boulanger asserts now-
that tho republicans meditated his Capul-
sion. The parallel is almost complete. Both
sides charge each other with preparing for
a coup d'etat.
In 1851 Louis Napoleon struck flrst, as he
always claimed, to Jsave himself. Many
are saying: "The time has come a^'ttin.
Who will striko flrst now?" -
General Boulangcr's silence for some time
past is ominous. Monarchists and impe-
rial cities have been busy around him.
Charges of connivance in their intrigues he
disdainfully ignores. The government un-
doubtedly have profound reasons for dis-
trusting him. They could have expelled
him from Franco long ago, and could liavo
given legal color to their action, but they
dared not. His
strength with tiie people
was too great and it has not diminished.
The persecutions have increased his popu-
larity outside of Paris, and ho is no longer
ridiculous there. As tho 2d of December,
tho anniversary of tho coup d'etat, ap-
proaches the excitement Increases. The
revelations promised by Numa Gilly cn;ne
to nothing before the assize court at Niii es,
and his book, Mess Dosier, which is being
hawked about tho boulevards, contains
nothing new, though.it shows that there js
something rotten in other lands than Den-
mark and that pots do vius or bribery is
more common here than during the palmy
days of tho lobby and ring regime at Wa i-
ington. But Gilly Is admittedly a wdl
meaning pigmv.and the real holder aloft of
the Damoclean sword, the fall of which so
many fear, is undoubtedly Wilson, recen ly
known as M. LeGendre. Your correspoi-d-
ent imagines that Wilson has seen tho opi ra
of Olivette. At all events he has leaned
that there is a
time for disappearing,
and now that tho gale has blown over which
dislodged Grevy from the Elyseo he has
bobbed up serenely, and instead of going
into exilo at Brussels and practicing law,
has returned to the palace on the avenue
Jena, about which there was bo much talk
during the decoration scandals, and receives
tho editors of tho French papers every after-
noon, to whom ho displays t lie sticks which,
during all tlio outcry against him, he lias
reserved for his enemies against a day of
recognization. "While he is what the radi-
cal papers were pleased to call the Dauphin,"
said he yesterday to Arthur Meyer of tlio
Golois, "I receive every day some live hun-
dred letters from prominent politicians
begging illicit favors.
These gentlemen, after seven years of
trial, seeing that they could not induce me
to abuse my position, combined and
crushed mo politically. Thoy will, howev-
er, be disagreeably surprised to hear that I
have retained all their communications and
will shortly begin their publication in Petit
France under tho caption Mes Vigit Deux
Milles Dossier." No one doubts for an in-
stant but Wilson has in his possession
many compromising letters, and uneasiness
about palaco bourbon is very noticeable.
The sayings of the celebrated Judge d' in-
structions, "Give me three lines of a mail's
handwriting and 1 will hang liini," is pres-
ent in tho minds of all meanwhile.
ENGLAND.
gladstone and henry george.
London, November 25.—[Special]—There
is an outburst of indignation over tho
threatened arrest of seven members of par-
liament. It is looked upon as a revival of
the senseless persecutions under tlio coer-
cion net, which it had been thought tho
government had given up. The Irish mem-
bers treat it as a deliberate attempt to
weaken their troublesome minority in tho
house so that the estimates may bo passed
with greater ease. Nothing could be more
injudicious on the part of tho government.
It can not help them in the debates on the
land purchase bill, and may cause some of
their liberal unionist allies to revolt. Noth-
ing the government can do now, however,
is too strong forthe stomach of the marquis
of Hartington. In an address to his constit-
uents to-day the noble lord reaflimcd
the absolute separation
of the unionists from the liberal party
which followed Mr. Gladstone and pledged
again his support to the government
through thick and thin. If he does not get
a cabinet office after this, kingdoms will
prove as ungrateful as republics. The re-
ward may be a long time coming, but the
Right Hon. Marquis is playing for a large
stake, and tho game is a complicated one.
Henry George has haunted parliament all
week, listening to tho debate of tho land
purchase bill. He has some idea of starting
a penny paper here similar to the Standard
of New York, in-which to promulgate his
land tax doctrines. George has a great
deal stronger support among the masses
here than in New lork.
he came here to rest,
but has been compelled to promise to ad-
dress three big meetings. He will speak at
Lambs on Tuesday night and go to Glas-
gow Wednesday night, where he will be
given a public reception the following even-
ing. On Friday he will go to Liverpool to
address the financial reform club. He will
speak in London on Friday night, and sail
for home from Southampton on the Ems
on Sunday, addressing the workingmen
there from the pier before going aboard the
steamer. George has been interviewed by
nearly all the papers here.
This is the gist of what he says: "In
America we are gaining ground steadily,
and in some places rapidly. Before the next
presidential election
you will find one party not afraid to avow
itself in favor of free trade, and from free
trade it is but a step to the single tax. Free
trade, which will help to bring about the
single tax, has entered into American poli-
tics aud has come to stay. Nothing but a
great convulsion, such as the war, of seces-
sion, will postpone that question. It lias
taken the same place in American politics
that the anti-slavery question took in 1856,
when Fremont was defeated. Tho free trade
question has been votod down, but it will
riso again at the next general election and
sweep all before it."
"To what then," George was asked, "do
you attribute tho defeat of the democratic
party?"
"Largely to tho unpopularity which re-
sulted from the president vetoing all the
pension bills, and the loss of political
strength resulting from civil service re-
form."
George saw the division on the land act,
and with that his interest in the parliament-
ary session ends. The Ashbourne bill is
practically the lav of the land. It will be
read the first time in the house of lords on
Tuesday. By taking up the Ashbourno act
this week the government has shortened
the session. There is now no reason why
the house should sit after December 14.
how in ireland.
There is a big row in Ireland over the new
papal rescript. It may bo promulgated to-
morrow, but the probability is that the
bishops will manage to keep it very quiet.
They had a long conference over it this
week, and while terrified at the open dis-
obedience to the pope, are fully aware that
this new pressure to suppress the popular
sentiment against coercion is in a bad po-
sition. They realize that if the rescript is
published there will be an explosion of
wrath which Home docs not dream of. This
second rescript is said to cover much the
same grounds as the first one, only it is
more explicit.
Your correspondent asked a prominent
Irish member what the pope's object was
in interfering. He said: "The only object
is to get an English representative. The
pope stands as much chance as he does iu
getting back temporal power."

City of Mexico, November 25.—[Direct
to Galveston by Mexican Cable]—Heavy
rains have been reported throughout the

age. A heavy norther is blowing.
One hundred and seventy American
editors en route here have passed Vera
Cruz. Governor Galan received them. The

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
The Assassination of One Man Followed by n
Sulchle—The Details.
Pittsburg, Tex., November25.—Last Sun-
day Mr. S. Finberg was lying a corpse in
this little city, the victim of a uight assas-
sin, Growing out of the killing of Finberg.
the lifeless body of Mr. Berry Hood, who
took his own life, now lies in tho court'
house at this place. This morning
at 11 o'clock Mr. . Hood wn3 discov-
ered in a stall iu Russell & Son's livery
stable by a negro police, and upon investi-
gation it was found that lie had committed
suicide by cutting his throat from ear to
ear with a ipockctknife.
Tho preliminary trial of Ed Bolton,
charged with the murder of Fineberff.led to
the arrest of Charlie Hood, a boy about 18
years of age, the only soon of Air. Berry
Hood, under a charge of perjury. They
sued out writs of habeas corpus and the
cases were tried before District Judge W.
P. McLean at Mt. Vernon yesterday, who
fixed Bolton's bond at $>2000 and Hood's at
$500. This morning Mr. Berry Hood, the
father of Charles Hood, who lives near
Leesburg, was in Pittsburg making prepa-
ration to secure bond for his son. He
seemed greatly distressed, but it was not
suspected that his troubles would result iu
suicide.
Sheriff Dupre was getting ready to take
young Hood to the country lor tho purpose
of making the bond when tho town was
startled by tho announcement that Mr.
Berry Hood, the father of tho boy, had com-
mitted suicide. Ho leaves two daughters
about full grown.
POSTAL ROBBERIES.
A Systematic Sories of Robbery—I.arge
Amounts of Money Procured.
Little Rock, Ark., November 25.—The
agents of the postal service in this city are
greatly worked up over a systematic series
of robberies on the star route between
Plummerville, on tlio lino of the Little
Rock and Fort Smith railway, and Cob-
lent!!, in tho interior of Contvay county.
The matter has been kept very quiet and
the secret service ^Icpartment has been at
work on tho casoseveral days. It is known,
however, that mails on this route have been
robbed five times within the last ten days,
aud that tho amounts secured altogether
will aggregate about $1500, taken on vari-
ous occasions from registered packages.
The mail on this route is carried on horse-
back by a middle-aged man and passes
through several fourth-class offices. The
department, has men at work ferreting out
tho crookedness and it is safe to say that
tlio robbers will be located. Some of the
letters containing money wero directed to
Wolf Bros, of this city.

Judgment Against a Gambler.
Chicago, III., Novembers,;.—Afteruvelvo
years of litigation judgment of $CC 0 was
recovered before Judge (jury to-day by Mrs.
Mary Earned, who sued on behalf of Cook
county, against Francis Tiernan, a former
well-known gambler. In 1876 plaintiff's
husband, Elliott P. Lamed, was a faro
dealer in Tiernau's employ. He played
against the game, and in all lost about $000'),
which his wife now seeks to recover, one-
half of which under law belongs to tho

Sentenced for Selling Imported Liquors.
marshtlltown.Ia., November 25.—Judge
Stevens sentenced George J. Bowman, con-
victed of selling liquor imported from Illi-
nois, to pay ?1000 fine, tho highest penalty.
He held that an importer has no right to
sell even in original packages. The case
was a test one. This decision indicates that
while the importat ion may not bo prohibti-
ed, sale inoriginal packages can. The mat-
ter jmay again betaken through the state
supreme court aud to the United States su-
preme court.

THE RESULT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION PREDICTED
Hy an Editor in tho National Capital Ob-
jection to Chairman Unrnum—Tariff
Hi-form Has Undo Substantial
Oains—Extra Session.
Washington, November 25.—[Ppecinll—
Donn Piatt, formerly editor of the Washing-
ton Sunday Capital, and now editor of Bel-
ford's Magazine, when spoken to about tlio
election said, according to an interview iu
to-day's Post, that he had discounted tho
result long before it occurred. "I wrote to
Mr. Cleveland," said he, "and to Mr. Dick-
inson and to Mr. Garland, and I told them
wo were gone unless they put somebody
else at the head of tho democratic national
committee than Barnum, but no change
was made, and here we are."
"What was the troublo with Mr. Bar-
nuini"
"He was a high protectionist at the head
of a tariff reform campaign. What non-
sense! When I wrote to the president I
asked Henry Wutterson to join mo in sign-
ing the letter. 'No, I won't, do it,' said
he, 'I would only be snubbed, and I don't
propose to be snubbed any more. You go
on and send your letter, and when tho elec-
tion is over you can say I told you to.' "
"Do you think tariff reform madu any
substantial gains?"
"In manufacturing centers, yes. In the
country throughout the north farmers paid
no attention to tariff, and when election
day cams the only thing they talked about
was the necessity of stopping tho rulo of
rebel brigadiers. It was tho same old ever-
lasting sectionalism."
"When do you think we will bo able to
eliminate it?"
"Not till wo have another row."
Mr. Breckinridge in answer to a question
as to what ho thought of tho next house,
said he was
not prepared to answer.
He would wait for official returns before
expressing himself as to its complexion.
"It will be very close," said he, "no matter
which side has control."
"Will there be an extra session?"
"Well, that all depends. If wo have the
house I think Air. Harrison will not care to
call an extra session, but if tho republicans
have it, I'm inclined to the opinion that an
extra session will be had."
Iu speaking of the tariff question Mr.
Breckenridge said ho thought the .senate
i would take up their bill nnd discuss it. 1 Ie
could not see now they couid avoid it. Mr.
Breckenridge ridiculed the idea t hat there
would be any serious trouble should the
democrats organize the house. It may also
be remarked that even republicans arc
laughing at political hot-heads who are de-
claring that-ther* will bo a "rumjm»" it. the
house unless democrats cave right in and
give tho republicans control before it is
definitely ascertained which party has
elected a majority of members.
Representative Springer reached the city
last night. He called 'to see Colonel l/i-
mont at tho white house to-day. Speaking
about tho outlook, ha said that ho was not
satisfied yet which party would have con -
trol of tlio next house, but it appoared that
tlio majority
would be too small
to be of any good to either party. Ho
thought it uot likely that much would bo
done this session. In his opinion it was a
mistake on tho part of the democrats not
to pass the enabling acta last winter for the
admission of new states into tho union. He
is going to make an effort for the admis-
sion of four new states, and hopes to secure
the passage ol' his bill for that purpose this
winter. He does not expectauy tariff legis-
lation this winter, and very much doubts
the ability of the republicans to revise tlio
tariff at any time. "If," he said, "we should
send twenty-five democrats homo and give
the republicans a majority in both houses
they would not be able to pass their tariff
bill. Thoy can not agree."
Air. Springer is here for the session.
A MISSOURI HORROR.
Two Voting Daughters Terribly and T'atully
Mutilated—A Mother's Suicide.
St. Louis, Mo., November 35.—Advices
from Ozark, Alo., state that news has
reached thero of a horrible tragedy which
occurred yesterday evening on Ball creek,
eighteen miles south of Ozark. Wiliialn
Pruitt, an old citizen of Toney county, bad
left home early in tho morning to assist a
neighbor in sortie work, and upon his return
home found his two daughters, aged II. and
13, respectively, lying on the floor shock-
ingly mutilated on the head and face. A
bloody hatchet lying on the floor near the
prostrate bodies of the little girls showed
that it had been tho instrument used in tho
savage work. The mother of the girls
could not be seen about the house, and after
a long search she was found in tho woods
with her throat cut from ear to ear, t >.e life-
less hand still grasping tho razor that did
the fatal work. No cause for the unnatural
actions of the mother, except, temporary in-
sanity, can be suggested.;
The Socialists at Work.
Chicago, 111., November 2".—Under the
guise of the working people's associations
the socialists are endeavoring to affect new
organizations, which shall include branches
now partially disintegrated, of various
groups, embracing anarchists, communists
and such other societies as have for their
object the overthrow of existing govern-
ments and social system. A meeting for
tho purpose of forming one of itiesa socie-
ties was lield in this city this afternoon on
West Lake Street.

Texarkana, Ark., November 25.—J. D.
Hall, a leading citizen and business man
and formerly an extensive cotton buyer in
Arkansas and east Texas, has iiled suit in
tho United States court hero for damages
against tlio St. Louis Globo-Democrat in tho

In an interview Kefeico rider said: • flier*
have been some comment ; that tin- .- wis
not an honest one, but 1 am satistl.nl that It
was, and can not lin.l any reason f n- c h iag-
ing my decision, I consider my.seii r-.iw,in-
tentto judge of the character of lite c.la-
test, and I am confident tho raeo was v.- >:i
fairly, and that O'Connor deserves hit
victory. I regard him as being a
wonderful oarsman, and I think now
that he can not only lieat any one in litis
country, but that ho can beat nin ons i > t :io
world. Men who had bet money on Teemtir
declare that Teenier could have beaten
O'Connor if lie tried. J. M. SuIliVHI), a
Pittsburg man, who had increased the stakes
to $3300, and who bad made other wagers tt>
the extent, of KtMK) that Teenier would win,
has sent formal notice to each stakeholder
not to pay over tho money, as ho p iposes
to contest tho referee's dti ision. Sullivan
also called on Referee Elder and .tated
that he rcgurdetl the race a*
being unfair, and request-,si that ha
withhold Ilia decision in order thai tha
matter might be investigated. Elder, how-
over, replied that lie was satisfied that tho
race was decided on the merits of the two
men, but ho was willing to hear tiny
evidence to the contrary which they might
desiro to produce. Sullivan has already
employed Campbell Carrington as hisattor-
ney, and it is likely some trouble will lm
caused before the matter is ended.
It, should be borne in mind that thesa
complaints como from losers. O'Connor
aud his friends deny that ttiero was any-
thing wrong uboiit the race, and this is til*
feeling among disinterested observers.
