Counsel ror the Defense Delaying the Selection of a Jary. Fresno, Nov. 21.—The selection of a jury for the trial of Chris Evans, on tbe charge of murdering Vie Wiison, was continued before Judge Harris this morning. It is notable that the defense is asking many apparant trivial and use less questions, and the impression ie tbey are trying for some reason to delay tbe work of getting a jury. Notwith standing the lengthy examinations, six jurors were accepted today. At tbe close of the session the defendant's at torneys objected to Sheriff Scott's depu ties having charge of the jury, on the ground that the sheriff was interested in tbe reward for the conviction of F.vans. The objections were sustained and J. W. Smyth was appointed by the court as special officer. Altogether 33 jurors have been examined. The regu lar venire will probably be exhausted in tbe morning and a special issued. It is said the defense will object to Sheriff Scott or bis deputies serving summons for tbe special venire, on the same ground aB the objection heretofore men tioned was based on. THROWN DOWN STAIRS.

John G. Carlisle, secretary of the treasury, responded to the first toast of the evening, which was: Com merce demands and the honor of the country requires that the obligations of tbe United States shall be paid in coin current in any market of the world, and that the question eball be settled for all time and beyond controversy. Carlisle in part said: "Whileit would be unfair to attribute tbe unequal dis tribution of our trade with tbe outside world to the character of tbeir fiscal legislation, I tbink it may be eafely as serted that this country could not long maintain its present position as one of tbe most conspicuous and important commercial nations which now control tbe trade of the world, unless we pre serve a monetary system substantially, at leaßt, in accord with the monetary systems of the other principal nations. We can not possibly change the situa tion, and consequently the only practi cal question ia whether it is better to establish by laws an inferior kind of money for use at home, exclusively, and another kind for the use abroad, or have all our money good enough for use in every market where our people trade. Gold is the ouly international money. It ia useless for the advocateß of a differ ent ayatem to insist that this ought not to be' so. It is so, and we can not change tbe fact. I never have been abie to understand what ie meant by a double standard of value, and never found any ope who could tell me. To my mind it seems as absurd to Contend tbat tbere should be two different standards ac it would be to insist upon having two yardsticks of a different length or two gallon* of different dimensions. If the two standards are not eqal in value it is evident tbat one of them must be a false measure, and if they are of equal value it is evident, no matter what the law might declare, tbat there will be in fact but one standard. Tho question whether the obligations of tbe United States shall be paid in coin cur rent in all tbe markets of the world haa already been settled, in my opinion, for all time te come. Thia does not imply tbat silver is to have no place in our monetary system. What ia to be the ultimate fate of that metal ia one of the problema which time and eventa alone can aolve, but for many yeara the fluc tuations in its value have been so rapid aa to demonstrate tbat it cannot be safely coined without limitations into money of final redemption at the exist ing ratio, or any other ratio that might be established." Among the other speakers waß Hon. William McKelway, on Municipal Gov ernment. Hon. William Walter Phelps made a felicitous reminiscence speech. Mrs. Drew Snee Her Son.

The Culprit Taken from the Offlcerß and Hanged. The Mother of the Innocent Furnished the Rope and the Father and Grandfather Helped to String the Wretch Dp. By tbe Associated Press. Ottumwa, la,, Nov. 21. —Fred Gustav son, a laborer, aged 32, who recently came to this city, was hanged by a mod ,on the main street of Ottumwa, at 2:30 this afternoon. Last night be en ticed the 4 year-old daughter of Jonas Sax into a room of a boarding house and criminally assaulted her. The child now lies at the point of death. This afternoon Gustavson waa brought to Justice Truitt'a office for preliminary examination. A fight ensued there be tween the father, grandfather and other relatives of tbe child and the officers. The culprit was finally wrested from the hands of the officers and dragged ipto the etreet. Here tbe mother of tbe child stood with a rope and gave it into the hands of tbe mob. It was immedi ately placed about the wretch's neck and he waa banged to a baluster outside tbe stairway. A great crowd bad by this time collected. No effort was made to cut tbe villain down. After hanging 12 minutes the rope broke and the body foil to tbe pavement. It was seized by officers and hurried to the jail. The mob, fearing life was not extinct, fol lowed and demanded the body. Mayor Enforce assured tbem the fellow wae dead, and ordered them to disperse. Tbey refused. Finally a committee from the crowd was selected to view the re mains. Tbey reported life extinct, and tbe mob dispersed. For a time it looked ac if the mob would not have been satisfied until it had taken another life. The trial of Ed Walton for the murder of a young girl by malpractice began tbis morning in Judge Babb's court. When the mob made a break for the jail some one yelled, "Let's get Walton;" but fortu nately be had been spirited away by officers, and no further trouble ensued. BAY DISTRICT RACES.

The purpose was the formation of a commit tee to financially reorganize tbe Union Pacific railroad system, with nearly 8000 miles of road and over $300,000,000 securities. The senate committee on Pacific railroads authorized its Bub-com mittee to sit during recess, aud tbe sub committee delegated its powers to Sen ator Brice as a committee of one to do the important work.

DEATH OF JERRY RUSK. HIS LONG ILLNESS TERMINATED FATALLY. Although Expected Hl* DemUe Camed a Profound shook Throughout the Nation—The Kx-Preeldent Deeply Affected, a Madison, Wib., Nov. 21.—Gen. Jere miah Busk, ex-eecretary of agriculture, died at his home at Yiroqua at 8 o'clock this morning. Though not unexpected, the announcement tbat the end had come to tbe life of this etrongly indi vidual character in tbe political life of the nation, caused a profound shock. He had been ill some time and danger ously, but, up to a day or two ago, it was thought his iron constitution would pull him through. Since then, how ever, his constant failing strength led his friends to anticipate the worst. Uncle Jerry, as he was affectionately known, was a familiar figure to every resident of this city. No other man ever brought here in official life, won so many friends, political and non-pout i cal, in the Wisconsin capital, as he dur ing his three terms at governor. Flags are at half-staff on all tbe public build ings, and a public meeting was held in Governor Peck's office to arrange for a special train to Viroqua to attend the funeral. The end wae entirely unexpected. Colonel Carson, his former private sec retary, left his bedside at 9 o'clock last night and gave hie friends the most positive assurance tbat the crisis was past. General Rusk himself told bis physicians during tbe evening tbat be was better. He took tbe usual amount of nourishment and slept a good portion of the night. His death was due to a complication of disorders dating back several years. Tbe trouble began in tbe form of dys pepsia, resulting in an enlargement of the prostata gland, followed by an ab scess on tbe liver, finally involving tbe gland. Seven weeks ago he was obliged to to take to his bed. November 10th it was decided tbat a surgical operation was necessary and an opening was made and a drainage tub inserted. Its removal and reinsertion caused him ex cruciating agony from time to time, but tbe fatal ending even then was not con sidered certain. Up to within 15 min utes of his death be talked with tbe watchers and appeared to drop into a peaceful sleep from which he passed into the hereafter without a struggle. An autopsy will be held to determine the immediate cause of his death. The whole family was it hie bedside when tbe general breathed his last. His last words, spoken with effort, were: "I am dying; I am dying." Tbe fnneral will be held in Viroqua on Friday, and the remains will lie in state at tbe Methodist ehnrch the day previous. Indianapolis, Nov. 21.—Ex-President Harrison was deeply affected by tbe news of Husk's death. He expressed the deepest sorrow at the taking of the venerable member of his late official family. He at once sent Mrs. Rusk a telegram of condolence, and stated he would probably, with ex-Attorney Gen eraljMiller, attend the funeral. Washington, Nov. 21.—The newß of the death of ex-Secretary Rusk was re ceived by his successor, Secretary Morton, just as he left the office to attend the cabinet meeting. He at once ordered the flag over the agricultural building at half-mast. The building will not be closed theday of the funeral, according to custom, on account of the amendment to tbe last legislative ap propriation bill forbidding such action. GBOVIR AT WORK. The President Dm; Preparing His Forth coming; Message. Washington, Nov. 21.—President Cleveland spends a large share of his time preparing his annual message to congress. It is said that the Hawaiian matter will be presented in tbe regular message. The probabilities are tbe message will be a long one, owing to the entrance of several topics to be dis cussed, not only on the Hawaiian sub ject, but the tariff.

Washington, Nov. 21.—At the state department today the newspapers were given everything in the Hawaiian mat ter except the instructions to Willis. It is stated the instructions will be made public in Honolnln and come to this country. It is asserted that the infor mation received by the Australia ie highly satisfactory to the administra tion and showed just the progress ex pected. The belief is expressed that the change is already accomplished and that the next eteamer wiil bring the import ant information tbat Minister Willis carried out his instructions and that the restoration of tbe queen is complete. THURSTON'S STATEMENT. The Hawaiian Mlniiter'e Version of the Revolution. Washington, Nov. 21. —Lorrin A. Thurston, tbe Hawaiian minister, gave a statement tonight. He says: "I am urged to make a statement tar publication, setting forth the position and claims of the Hawaiian government and making a reply to the charges con tained in Mr. Blount's report. As I have received no official information that Blount made a report, I am unable to intelligently state wbat the position and claims of tbe government are. A large portion ot the published extracts from Blount's report consist of personal attacks upon me and those associated with me in the provisional government, inpngning our veracity, and good faith and courage, charging ua with fraud and duplicity. "First I desire to call attention to Blount's method of constructing his re-, port. Although he in eeveral places states I waa a leader of tbe revolution ary movement, he never asked me a queetioA concerning the same nor gave me, aa' opportunity to make any i Btutornant. 'i'he same ie trne pf a large j nnAVtir of oiher men who took a load j irigs}an;lrl "life movement of January. | ; i ie evidence consists exclusively of pre pared affidavits or answers to leading questions put by himself at a private interview, no one else being present but the stenographer. In no instance of any croaß-examination was an opportu nity given for contradiction or to ex plain evidence. "A brief examination of the published portions of the report ehowß a number of incorrect statements. Blount charges that the American troops were landed under a pre-arranged agreement with the committee of safety. At no time did Stevenß or Captain' Wiltse asßure me or the committee of eafety, or any sub-committee thereof, that United Statee troops would assist in over throwing the queen or to establish a provisional government, and, aB a mat ter of fact, they did not bo assist. I can produce witnesses in support of this statement. "In Wundenburg'a statement he says when the committee of safety told Stevens they were not ready to act, he replied: 'Gentlemen, the troops of the Boston will land at 5 o'clock whether you are ready or not.' The reason for this reply and tbe subsequent landing of the troops is manifest. The troops were landed to protect American citizens and property aDd not to co-operate with the committee in carrying out their plans; in fact the troops did not co-operate with the committee and the committee bad no more knowledge than did the queen's government where the troops were going nor what they were going to do. "Tbe whole gißt of Damonis long ex amination is likewise contained in tbe statement that when a request was made for the support of United Stateß troops it was refused by Commander Swine burne sending back word: 'Captain Wiltee's orders are to remain passive.' "Blount charges that but for the sup port of the United States representative and troops the establishment of tha pro visional government waa impossible. Although the presence of the American troopß may have prevented bloodshed, they were not essential and did not as sist in the overthrow of the queen. Tbw result of the movement would have been eventually the SAtne if tbere had not been a marine within a thousand miles of Honolulu. Ju support of this state ment tbe troopß did not land till Monday night, the 16th of January, after tbe revolution was in full progress since tbe afternoon of Saturday the 14th, during which the committee of safety was open ly organized for the avowed purpose of overthrowing tbe queen. "Second—There waa absolutely no attempt at concealment from the gov ernment of the objects and intentions of the committee. "Third—The queen, cabinet and her supporters were utterly demoralized and suspicious of one another and devoid of leadership. "Fourth —The committee and their supporters were united; had ample force to execute tbeir purpose; knew pre cisely what they wanted, and proceeded with intelligent deliberation, thorough ness and confidence to do it. It is ud mitted by all tbat the queen began the revolution at noon Saturday by attempt ing to promulgate a new constitution. Such attempt waa immediately followed by preparations for armed resistance and United States troopß were landed at 5 o'clock Monday. "In eupport of the second proposition, on the afternoon of Saturday, in reply to a request of the cabinet for advice,
