SACRAMENTO, June 19.— As the re sult of a Quarrel several weeks ago, Roland Holmes this evening fired five shots at William Harbinson. The shots took effect in the abdomen. Harbinson will die. ;¦ ._ - . . "The shooting- occurred in a saloon an Fourth between J and K streets. Holmes was discharged from the county hospital yesterday, after having been treated for three weeks for - in juries inflicted by Harbinson in an al tercation on a public street, while both were on a spree. Although Harbinson is much the Emaller in stature, he inflicted such shocking injuries upon his antagonist that it was feared Holmes would die. He was made permanently deaf in one ear and blind in one eye. while his tongue was so injured that he has not recovered speech since the assault. Holmes during his confinement at the hospital, constantly brooded over his troubles, and several days ago sent a note into the city to Harbinson warn ing him that while he had not prose cuted him in court he would take re venge upon him for the Injuries re ceived at his hands, and that when he did so he would "fix him good." Harbinson paid no attention to the warning and was standing against a chair in the Fourth-street saloon to right when Holmes entered, And ap proaching him unawares and without uttering a sound, 'placed a revolver against his body and emptied the chamber of five cartridges. As the first shot was fired Harbinson was heard to beg Holmes not to kill him, but the frenzied man kept up the fire and Harbinson dropped to the floor. Holmes was placed under arrest and Harbinson taken to the Sisters Hos pital. The 1 surgeons said he would surely die. He is a married man. while Holmes is single. Both are middle aged. Special Dispatch to The Call. Illinois has decided to make an ac tive and aggressive campaign for Hitt for Vice President. A caucus was held to-day in the State headquarters and a campaign in the interest of the Illi nois Congressman was decided upon. After a discussion between the leading men of the delegation, it was arranged that Senator Shelby M. Cullom should present the name of Hitt to the con vention and seconding speeches will be made by at least two delegates, one from the Middle Missippt Valley and the other probably from New York. After the adjournment of the caucus it was announced by some of the Il linois men that the seconding speeches would be delivered by. Senator Dolllver of Iowa and some one else yet to bo selected. The Senator was out of the city to-day visiting friends and could not be seen, but members of the Iowa delegation scouted the idea that he would speak for Hitt. According to them, he had received and not accept ed the invitations to speak for the nomination of Senator Fairbanks and John L. Webster of Nebraska and under the circumstances it was not at all probable that he would second the nomination of Hitt. Moreover, there Is a decided sentiment among the Iowa men in favor- of Fairbanks, al though a number of them are for Hitt. The Michigan delegates, after learn ing of the statements made after the Illinois caucus, declared they were in CTJLLOM TO NOMINATE HITT. There Is no doubt expressed about the selection of Secretary Cortelyou for chairman of the national committee, although many men prominent In tha party are found who do not hesitat* to privately express some disappoint ment that a more experienced politi cian was not chosen. Senator Lodge arrived from Massa chusetts with a draft of the platform in his pocket. He was notified that he would* be recognized to move the appointment of the committee on reso lutions and this means his selection as chairman of the committee. All In terest In the platform centers In the tariff plank and the sentiment 13 that there will be a straight declaration for protection, without promises for future tariff revision or reciprocity. Senator Allison of Iowa has been consulted regarding the tariff plank and has advised against making any pledges for future action. It la alao understood that such a course will suit the President. Two active Vice Presidential aspir ants were about the Auditorium cor ridors during the evening— John Lee Webster of Nebraska and John W. Springer of Colorado. "STAND PAT" THE SLOGAN. CHICAGO. June 19.— The Vice Presi dency and the tariff plank In the plat form were the principal subjects of discussion among the delegates of the Republican National Convention to day. Prom present appearances Senator Fairbanks will be the choice for Vice President, as a sufficient number of leaders have declared for him and an nounced the probable support of their delegations for him to indicate his se lection. The Indiana Senator was seen for a few minutes in the corridor of the Auditorium and was greeted by -a throng of men. who indicated to him their desire to see him named for sec ond place on the ticket. He remained non-commital, as usual, his position being that the nomination would neith er be sought nor refused. The knowledge that the Senator will not refuse has been communicated to the delegates and has largely increas ed the prospects for his nomination. The movement to-day for Represent ative Hitt seems to have been prompt ed to some extent by those who felt that Fairbanks should make a declar ation. Then, again, the Illinois men feel that, in view of the action of their State convention, they mu3t make an earnest effort for Hitt. It Is a fact, however, that the recent Illness of Hitt in Washington has dampened the ar dor of his supporters, who acknowledge that this will work to his disadvan tage. Of the stings' efficacy for the cure of rbtumatism the chemists say their ex periments have left no doubt. The tale cf how the scientists conceived the idea of experimenting with the stings is told thus: A farmer afflicted with rheumatism was set upon by a swarm of bees EJ!d frightfully stung. His face, neck and limbs were covered by red spots and swollen for days. When the Fwclling subsided, to the farmer's de light the rheumatism was cured. Sup plemented by similar cases, this tale came to a man who was interested in bacteriological experiments. The loss of its sting, if carefully amputated, will not destroy the bee's honey-making ability. A special laboratory i? being con structed near Philadelphia for the transformation of b*»e stings into terum. The stings will be transport ed thither from bee farms in air tight glass tubes in especially con structed cases, so designed that the temperature surrounding the tubes may b» kept the same as that of the bee's body. I n its finished state the product will be sold in small vaccine points of the same form as anti-toxin and smallpox virus. That an ample Fupply of raw material may be avail eble the company will encourage the establishment of bee farms in Dela ware and Chester counties in North ern Delaware. PHILADELPHIA, June 1?.— After a leng exr^riment by bacteriologists in their employ, an incorporated firm of wholesale chemists of this city has sent sg?nts to Texas with instructions to obtain al! the bee stings they can for medicinal purposes. An order for 60.000 Htings was placed with one bee farmer in that Ftate. A serum for injection through the skin will be made from the TOtent fluid with which the tiny weap ons are charged. EEEVILLE. Tex.. June 19. — A new apiary product became known through the receipt of an order here from a Philadelphia firm of chemists for 10.000 bee stings. The acids which the poison sacks of bees contain is said to.be valuabJe in the manu£actur£,-pf a remedy for rheumatism. !?ret:al Dispatch to The Ca" The bureau has reports from abroad saying that agents are scouring the cities for persons to send to America under the present cheap rates. The Consul General in London says that a certain large charitable organization is shipping regularly to the United States hundreds of persons whom they had to care for for many years. "This kind of immigrants can do us no good," said Larned. They simply add to the burdens we already carry in the criminal and pauper classes." "According to all reports we have at hand, the JlO-rate immigrants that are now being landed at New York are the worst riffraff of foreign coun tries." said F. H. Lamed, chief clerk of the Bureau of Immigration to night. "The Potsdam arrived the other day with 1200 immigrants of this class, more than 500 of whom were rejected. In many cases these people are the families of men now living in this country- We rejected one family, the head of which was a fairly prosperous laborer here with money in the bank. The family said that they had been objects of charity in London for more than five years. We could hardly consider such people desirable citizens."

It has no{ been confirmed. TOKIO. June 20. — A report from Vice Admiral Karmmura, forwarded from a port whose jiame the naval board will not reveal, states that thus far he has failed to discover the Russian Vladivostok fleet. It is said that the Tokio naval tacticians have received positive assurance that the squadron has not returned to Vladivostok. in'Svhich event it is now placed between two powerful divisions of the Japanese riavy. While Kaminiura continues the quest for the Russian cruisers at sea. another strong squadron is awaiting its arrival off the harbor of Vladivostok. It is believed here that' the real object of the Russian cruisers is to divert the attention of the Japanese fleet at Port Arthur in order to permit the Russian fleet now '"bottled" there to escape. Then, having formed a junction, the combined fleet would attempt to go .back to Vladivostok, or, possibly, to return to Russian waters. Dense fogs that have prevailed for nearly a week off Japan's coast have enabled the Vladivostok snuadron to elude Kamimura. '.. i *'¦?¦> V .
