TOO MUCH POISON.
Hochko2er"s Wife Still Alive, bat Has Small
Chance of Recovery.
San DIEGO, Dec. 2<;.— Joseuh Parisl de
HochkotW, whoie death occurred at Na
tional City yesterday, was the eldest son of
an Austrian banker who lives at Triest.
His wife, who attempted suicide at the lime
of ihe death, is somewhat improved, but
still very low, with small chances of re
covery. The combination of the three dif
ferent poisons s-lie took at the time partially
destroyed the effect. .She was an artist of
considerable merit and was a native of
Germany. 'I hey were married In this coun
try.
Count Paris't came from a very noble
family ol Austria. His father formerly oc
cupied aa exalted position of Mat* in the
Austrian Empire, but was forced to retire
on account of the burden of his years. He
stiil stands at the head of one of the fore
ncst banking-houses of Austria. This
house has branches all ovtr the continent.
I'arist was the Count's real i ame, b;it to it
he udd)d of his own acctrd the name Hoch
kufler, the title of his stepmother. Count
Tarisi was born In Trie=t, Austria, and
was the youngest of two brothers. From
his early \ears he was of a wild disposition.
He li iirntd the Kussian, Bulgarian, Spanish,
French, Gerujan, Italian a::d other lan
guopes. He then filtered the Austrian
Army ai an < fticcr and served there, for two
years.
His parents had no icfluenco over him,
BU(i, as lis wild practices were in danger of
disgracing them, they fixed upon him a
liberal allowance, and a little over five
years ago he come to this country, to San
Frau Cisco, where his half brother Is now
tl.e Austrian Consul. His stepbrother sent
him to S«n Diego, where he came shortly
after his trip to New York, and for six
moiitlis he was manager of a wine-cellar on
the coiner of Fifth and F streets. He wss
married in Galvestun, his wife being at one
time a teacher of art in a university at
G.ilvestoa.
A cablegram has been received from the
Count's father, ordering his bjdy to be em
balmed and sent to Austria, and, in case
of the death of the Countess, to have her
body shipped there also. In case she sur
vives she is to be sent to her father-in-law,
to take her rank and stat'cii v. :.a ncr hus

SEATTLE'S STORM.
Many Buildings Demolished and Railroad
Traffic Suspended.
Seattle, Dtc. 26.— This city was visited
ye-li-iday by the heaviest wir.d-storui ever
knonn here. The stnrtu broke early in the
mi>.rnirg and continued all diynithun
.dimiuishcd fury. The climax was reached
about 5 o'clock in the murning. Vessels in
the harbor were torn from their moorings
and tossed about like corks. Large trees
and telegraph and electric wires were Lad
low. AH railroad travel was suspended and
many buildings were demolished. The
damage h not yet ascertained, but it will be
heavy. George Bell, a wood-chopper, was
crushed to death in his tent Dy a falling
tn-e.
Reports from Saohomish state that the
gale was very disastrous, particularly to the
Luke Shore and Eastern road. Huge trees
were blown across the telegraph lines in a
score of places, thus rendering communica
tion impossible. A long tre-tle over a deep
raviue was literally broken in two by a
larce fir tree being blown down upon it.
Above Snohouiish there was some ob
■trartiou in the sliape of trees across the
track. The Seattle and Northern road also
s>uffVr»d great damage on Snohomish Flats.
The wiud at Ballard lifted the big pattern
shop of the iron and steel works from its
foandatiou and turned it part way round,
■early wrecking it. At Redmond, on the
Seattle Lake Shore road, a barn was blown
down and several cattle killed. In Snoqual
ißie County huge trees were upturned and
wagon-roads were nearly all blockaded.
The Seattle and Montana contractors esti
mate the damage to th»ir roadbed at $15,000.
Chief Engineer Donovan of the Fair Haven
and Southern road says tlie storm did but
little damage in the Bellingliam Bay coun
try.
Magnus Nelson, a railroad laborer, was
struck by a large Or tree which crushed his
•fcnll. Nelson lived about an hour after
ward. A tree five feet in diameter fell across
toe barn of Z. T. Clark on Melford street
»nd crushed in the roof and ■ large beam in
the peak of the roof fell, killing a large dray
torse and fatally wounding another. No

STRAINING THE LAW.
Ex-Congressman Build's Objection to the Count
ing of Decisive Ballots.
Stockton, Dee. 2o\— In the contested
election case for the office of County Treas
urer the result depends upon the ruling on
thirty-two votes in which the erasures and
subdivisions were made by the use of ani
line or indelible pencils and a stencil-plate
and priuting ink. The objection to count
ing the ballots is made by ex-Congressman
Budd for the Democratic contestant Kerriek,
because the law allows only the use of a
lead pencil or common writing ink. With
regard to the indelible pencil marks he
makes the point that the aniline pencil
makes a distinguishing mark in the color,
and, therefore, the ballots must be rejected.
The case has gone over for argument next
week.

Tbe Proposed Inquiry Into the Death
of Sitting Bull.
Special to Tbe Morxino Call
Washington, Dec. 2C. -The Bureau of
American Kepublics has received a dispatch
from Argentine Republic giving a brief sum
mary of the commerce of that country for
the year ending June 3d last. It appears,
notwithstanding the revolution, that the im
ports fur the year nmounted to $175,955,000
and the exports to 81.V.1, 627,000. Tfie wheat
crop for the year has been enormous and
will probably be tlie largest ever grown In
that country. During the year 239,000 im
migrants landed at Buenos Ayres, of which
number 109.000 had their passage paid by
the Government.
Information is also received l>y the bureau
that tlie Government of Colombia ha? signed
a contract with J. L. Cherry of Milwaukee
for the completion of the Cauca Valley
Railway from Uuena Ventura, the chief
uort of Colombia, to the cities of Calli and
Manizales, with the privileceof continuing
the road to tlie Gulf of Daricn on the north
and the frontier of Ecuador on the south
and eastward to the navigable waters of the
Amazon River. This road when completed
will give a larze portion of Colombia that is
very rich in both agricultural and mineral
resource* access to tide-water. The Gov
ernment guarantees iuterest of 5 per cent
cold for eighteen years upon the expendi
ture of $33, MX) Roll per mile and the exclu -
sive privilege fur seventy year* of operating
a railway within twenty- four miles on either
side of the route surveyed and nccepted,
titlo to all the gold and other mines that
may be discovered Wltbin the tweuty-four
miles' limit and freedom from all duties uud
taxes for ten years.
The bureau has information regarding the
renewal of the l'anama Canal concession by
the Colombian Government. From this it
appears the company is allowed two years
from the Ist of January to reorganize and
resume operations; is required to pay for
lnnds on the isthmus, which under the
original concession were granted them
without cost, also the expense of sustaining
whatever military or police guard may be
found necessary to protect the. works and
maintain peace along the line of the canal.
The couipmy is to pay the Government of
Colombia a bonus of 10,000,000 francs and
give it first-preferred stock in the company
to the amount of 5,000,000 francs.

An Animal Flower.
The inhabitants of St. Lucle have lately
discovered a most singular plant. In a cav
ern on that island near the sea an Immense
basin of l>rat.kMi water haa collected. Tlio
waters are as dear as crystal and revpßl
million* of vari-colored pebbles on the bot
tom. Each of these pebbles furnishes a
resting i lace for from two to five of a most
remarkable species of plant— a plant much
more allied to the annual than to the vege
table kingdom. The shallow waters around
the edge of the pool look for all the world
like well-kept beds of raw and wonderful
flower/, all bright and shining in color, the
ninjurity of them reminding one of the mari
gold family, only that their tint Is much
brighter.
Those seeming flowers, on the approach of
a band or n stick, retire like a snail out of
sight. On examining them closely the middle
ol tlie disk is found to be provided with four
brown filaments resembling spiders' lees
which move around tbo petals with a brisk
spontaneous motion. These filaments have
pinchers wih «liieh to seize the food on
which this queer animal-plant subsists, the
food of the strange creature being spawn
of fish and niiinn*>insects thrown Into the

Roosevelt on President Jacluon.
The Chautauquan for January contains a
short «k"tch ot Andrew Jackson by the
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt of the Civil Serv
ice Commission. Ono striking character-
istic of President Jackson is thus de
scribed: He was wholly incapable of dis
tinguishing bt-tween a public and a private
foe. To him an enemy of his own was of
necessity »n enemy of the nation, nut he
followed both witn inveterate hostility. H«
wrought tin- nation permanent harm hy in
troducing the most virulent form of the
"spoils" system of politics into national
affairs, turning out his political opponents
v<'hnle.»ale and supplying their places with
men whose only virtue was their partisan
ship. As a natural result the public service
deteriorated largely in efficiency, and em
bezzlement and fraii'i in connection with the
public moneys became more frequent than
ever before or since.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS.
Fourth Annnal Meeting of tbe American
Association at Washington.
Washington, Dec. 26.— The fourth an
nual meeting of the American Economic
Association began to-day. Several interest-
Ing papers were read. Professor Francis
A. Walker, Prosident of the association, in
his address Burvrve.il at length tlio impor
tant economic developments In the United
States. The extraordinary growth of
psoudo-socialism under the local name of
nationalism he attributed to the fact that
the masses of people had at last come to ap
preciate the supreme importance of the in
dustrial relations, but had not yet learned
within what unrrow limits the exertions for
the amelioration of mankind must neces
sarily be confined. All these reformers,
now so defiant of established economic
principles, would sooner or later become re
cruits of the economic army.
Kejiarding the apparent growth of the
Single-tax party, he expressed his opinion
that economists were going to take the
view that something more of an economic
rent than the State had been accustomed to
exact could be advantageously brought into
the Treasury, while, on the other hand,
practical politicians, the more they studied
tha subject, were more and more impressed
with the tiopelessue<B of the project, in view
of the opposition of the farmer class and of
the holders of small properties to the in
crease of direct taxes.
Walker referred to what he termed
the remarkable "weakening" in the present
financial crisis of many of those who,
through the greenback and silver contests,
stood most stiffly against every measure of
possible Inflation, but now had seemingly
cpased their resistance to the further coin
ago of silver, if they did not actually desire
it. He attributed this largely to the dis
crediting of the views of orthodox Ameri
can economists on the subject of money and
especially of their indifference to the money
r-upply. "In lack of natural leadership,"
he said, "we can hop? that prudence may
rule the hour and that the instinctive
conservatism of the American ueoplo may
enab'e them to pass through this, perhaps
the most perilous crisis iv their financial
career, without wreck."
Touching on the subject of immigHtion he
said the American people were called upon
now to decide whether there was any limit
to tho extent to which they would share
thi-ir birthright with strangers. Not only
the enormous increase of immigration, but
tho manifestly lower character of recent
comers, made the question urgent.
CONCLUSIVE PROOF.
Preliminary Examination of Ah Lee, the
San Rafael Murderer.
San Rafael, De<\ 26.— The preliminary
examination of Ah Lee, alias Lee Tune, on
the charge of murder was commenced tills
morning before Justice Gardner. The Su
pervisors' chambers had been used as a
court-room owinc to the interest manifested
in the cbsp. The court-room was so
crowded that standing-room was at a pre
mium. The Chinaman was brought into
court about 11 o'clock, and was represented
by C lien Darwin. District Attorney An-
Eellotti and District Attorney-elect Ctch
rane appeared for the prosecuti<<n. Several
witnesses- were examined in relatiou to the
murder, and it was conclusively proven
that Loe wna the guilty party. Owing to
the absence of the principal witness who
was ill the case was postponed till to-mor
row.
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
Remains of an Ancient Town Found
Eighty-five Feet Xniler Water.
The city authorities of Rovigno, on the
peninsula of Istria, in the Adriatic Sea,
have discovered a little south of the penin
sula the ruins of a large town at the bottom
of the sea. It has been observed for years
that fishermen's ucts were sometimes en
tangled in what appeared to be masses of
masonry, of which fragments were brought
up from the sea bed. A year or two ago a
diver declared that he had seen walls and
streets below the water.
The ciiy authorities recently decided to
Investigate. They sent down a diver, who,
at the depth of eighty-rive feet, found him
self surrounded 011 thd bottom of the sea by
ruined walls. Ue says he knows they were
the work of man. He is a builder by trade
and he recogdizen the layers of mortar.
Continuing his explorations he traced the
line of walls and was aide to distinguish
how the streets were laid our. He did not
see any doors or window-openings, for they
were hidden by masses nf seaweeds and in
erustiuions. He traced the mas-onry for
dUtimce of 800 feet, where he had to stop,
as bis diving cord did not peiniit him to go
further. He had proved beyond a doubt
ihat he had found the mini of a once In
habited towi:, which, through some catas
trophe, had been sunk to tho bottom of the
sea.
Some people think that they identify this
lost town with thfl island mentioned by
Pliny the elder under the name of Cissa,
near Istrin. This islane cannot be found
now, and it is thought the submerged town
may have been a settlement on the island
that so mysteriously disappeared.
EFFECT OF WIND ON TREES.
Soinetlilng Beside Pronmire Which
Directs Their Tops.
Trees which grow in exposed situations
have their tops always leaning away in the
opposite direction from the prevailing
winds, and the casual observer concludes
that the branches have- been bent by the
constant pressure of the wind and retained
their position. Now, although such tress
have the appearance exactly of trees bend
ing under a gale, still it is not pressure in
that way which has given them th;lr shape.
The fact is, they have grown away from the
blast and not been bent by it after they
grew. Examination of the branches and
twigs will show this, says a writer in tne
Garden.
Wo hardly realize the repressive effects of
cold wind upon tree growth, which it par
tially or altogether wrests, according to its
prevalence. Conifers show the effects of
this more distinctly than other trees.
Owing to the horizontal habit of growth of
the branches they point directly to the
teeth of the gale from whatever directioa it
comes, and cannot, like the oak, lean over
and grow in the opposite direction, hence
coniferous trees growing in cxDosed situa

The Way That the Hatives Prononnce Callao.
An Earthquake That in 1746 Swept

Fannie B. Ward, a traveling correspondent
for the Philadelphia Record, furniahes that
journal with the following concerning Peru,
where Pizarro once held sway :
How different is the renowned seaport of
Callao from anything our imagination had
pictured— how disappointing in one sense
because now showing no traces of its
fifteenth century youth nor tne glamour
with which history and tradition have sur
rounded it. On the contrary, it is the most
cosmopolitan, commonplace and matter-of
fact sort of city we have yet found in South
America; a place where English is spoken
almost as much as Spanish, and where
people of all nationalities have crowded
the easy-going natives to the wall, so far as
business is concerned. Even the correct
pronunciation of its name is a surprise to us,
for whereas we were ttught in school to say
Cal-lay-o, it should be rendered ns if spelled
Col-yow, with the accent strung on the last
syllable.
Though the harbor is nothing ta boast of,
and on our storm-swept northern coast
would be dignified by no such name, it is
one of the best on this side of ihe Southern
Continent, beiig sheltered from prevailing
winds which blow fn m the souih and
southwest by the high, bare islauds of Sau
Lorenzo and a projecting tongue of land.

We arrive about 8 o'clock in the morning
and drop anchor a mile from the b>-acli, in a
fog which the sailors say is " thick enough
to cut with a knife," and is attributable to
the condensation of tropical moisture by the
cold currents (if air sweeping
from Antartaric regions. Looming oQKf
the mist, in dim outlines iiud exaggerated
proportions, is a spectral forest of masts and
spars belonging to sailing vessels from all
seas, steamers, store-ship*, coke-hulks and
other phantom cr.ift. while to the right San
Lorenzo lifts to the skies a light-house that
is said to be more ornamental than useful,
and directly in front rise the cheese-shaped
turrets that lop the famous old castle of ban
Felipe, above whose yellow walls and mas
sive battlmncnts the Spanish llag way.d for
tbe lust time ou this continent.
To the left, "as through a glass darkly,"
we sco a loir shore covered with yellowish
verdure, anil trees pale-green for luck of
ritin, rising gradually to the foothills of the
Andes. The brown heights seem to stand
in closh ranks, one beliiud anotksr, each tier
mounting higher.

we can concerning thu locality.
A communicative mate directs our atten
tion to some sea-lions that are bobbing about
among the shipping, lie tells us that It is
great fun to watch them aud observe how
they mock humanity in their flirtations and
jealousies, their love-making and final set
tling down to family life. Listen a moment
at any time of the day and you may hear
their unmusical voices, half 'uaikiut:, half
howling. Abounding all up and down this
coast they have refused to be entirely driven
away, even from this busy harbor, aud nave
grown almost tame.
There are no cud of the tales one may
listen to concerning the freaks of the "(Jui
lao painter," as a mysterious local uhenom
enou is culled— an aggravating artist, who
works with invisible brushes and confines
his operations solely to this harbor, never
going inland not out to sea, nor more than
a few miles mirth and south. All sea-goers
know with what cure the eailors tire re*
quired to scrub nnd clean every part of a
vessel before it comes into poit, till every
inch of it, outsido aud in, is spotless and
shining as goupsuits, elbow - grease and
"holystone" can make it.
AFTEK ALL THIS LABOR,
Imagine the di>gu»t of the tired seamen
when, perhaps the very next morning after
anchoring in Cuiluo Bay, they awake 10 find
tUe ship coaled all over lrom stem to stern
wi ih a greasy, sticky, clioculate-colored film
which penetrates every crack *nd seiiui, aud
even forces its way through the battened
hatchways, The C'allao painter liaß been at
work.
lie always comes in the night, without the
slightest premonition, and tills the air with a
repulsive odor. If the slime is scrubbed
while yet damp, with plenty of soap aud a
stiff brush, its stains may be removed; but
if allowed to dry on, nothing but scraping
will bmige it, mid tho cheapest aud easiest
way will be to put a coat or two of paint on
over it. Of course there are many theories
regarding this strange frost which no sun
• ■.in nrCit. borne say that it is a kind of
grease forced uu into the atmosphere of this
particular spot by vapors beneuth tho sea;
while others attribute it to a species of vol-
CRuic dust driven through the water by sub
terranean forces. On only one point are
all agreed; that the sticky, uinking fliin,
uhicbi* found nowhere else on eartn, has
given just cause for more profanity than all
the storms that ever blew into (Jallito harbor.
That the region is peculiarly volcunic iv
common with all the western slopes of the
Andes, is proved by the uunrerous upheav
als that have occurred here. The worst of
these on record, and one of the most terrible
calamities that has overtook any city, was
the great terrimote of Octobers, 1746, which
swept the old port of Callao, w hich occupied
the projecting point of laud to the. left, with
all its inhabitants, excepting one man,
into the sea. It was on a warm
but perfectly calm evening, about 10:30
o'clock, when a tremendous shock of
earthquake shook botli Lima anl Calao,
doing a great deal oX damage iv the for
mer city, aud In five minutes reducing
the latter to a rnnss of ruins. Then a
huge wave came rolling into the devoted
port, eugultinn everything and everybody;
and 5000 people polished in the raging
flood. The waters, which a few minutes
befoie had been calm as a mill-pond, sud
denly receded to a great distance and then
rolled back with 6uch tremendous force as
to sweep not only the town and its fortifi
cations and inhabitants out of existence,
but a score of ships at nnchor in the harbor
wero destroyed. Several others were borne
far inland on the breast of the wave, which,
instantly receding, left them stranded high
and dry. One of these was the Spauisli
man-of-war tit. Fcruiin, and the, spot where
it was stranded, between the present Callao
and Bueua Vista, is marked by
A SMALL MONUMENT.
Naturally it took a long time for the citi
zens of Lima to recover from their panic;
and then they chose what was believed to be
a better locality for their sea gate (where
stands the. modern Callao), and defended it
by a castle in the form of a pentagon, with
two round towers and a "curtain" on the
ocean face. Though carefully built to resist
human invasion, and mounted with cannon,
it would be but a plaything for the invisible
but all-potent forces of earth, air and sen:
and the people tremble in their boots when
ever a teirimottt gives them never so slight
a shaking. Again in 1525 Callao had a nar
row escape from total destruction; and
many lesser shocks have done more or less
daumge.
The brief visit of the Tort Captain being
at last concluded, and the Health Officers
having satisfied themselves that there is no
contagious disease on board, we have per
mission to go ashore and the long-delayed
marineros swarm the decks. But we are
not left to their tender merries, for our party
includes a new Minister from the United
States en roulo to his South American mis
sion, and the fact having been duly signaled
by saluting guns and living flags, wo were
carried to laud in the gig of a man-of-war,
with uniformed "rowers rowing in tune,"
and the stars and stripes fluttering iv our
laces, mingled with the red, white and red
of the Peruvian bandera.
If Callao looks tumble-down and shabby
when viewed through a veil of mist at a
mile s distance, bow much more disappoint
ing is a closer inspection iv the full glare of
the sun. Somebody has well described it
at " built generally of canes, plastered over
with mud and painted a dirty yellow, its
iliinpsT houses stood askew, witb ssareely a
perpendicular or horizontal line among
them, and look as if they were trying to
straighten timiielvst uj> altar a good de-
bauch, in a vain endeavor to 'toe the line' of
the street." As there is considerable swell
even in the mildest weather, a long mole, or
breakwater, lias been extended out toward
the anchorage, having stairs behind, where
all the small boats aud lighters receive and
discharge their passengers and cargoes. The
stairs are thronged with a motley and jost
ling crowd, mostly ragged loafers who have
no business on band but vagrant curiosity,
who stare at the ladies and obstruct the
landing so that we have some difficulty in
forming a path through their dirty ranks.

OBITUAUV.
llr.lM.'Ml SCHLEIMANX.
Dr. Helnrich Schleiuiann, F. S. A., well
known tho world over as a famous archte
oloiiist, died yesterday in Berlin. He was
born at Ankerohagen in ilecklenburs;uilt>:!2,
having been tho son of a Lutherau
pastor, who inspired him at an early
ag« with an cnthusiastio admiration
ot the liproos of Ancient Greece, whose
exploits have b^en Immortalized by Homer.
On his mother's deat.li, which occurred when
he was 9 years old, he went to live with his
uncle, a clergyman of Kalkhorst, where he
remnincd two years. When he was
14 years old his father tost his par
ish, became miserably poor and could
no longer pay fur his son's schooling.
He then entered a eroceVs-shop in Fursten
burg, where he remained five years. He
was compelled to associate with the lower
orders ol society, and work from 5 o'clock in
the morning until 11 at night. Finally lie
obtained a position as book-keeper and
correspondent in Amsterdam, where in a
short time he was receiving a salary of 1000
florins a year. He went to St. Petersburg
as ageut of his firm in 184 C, and a year later
commenced busiuess there on his own ac
count. In the course of a busy life
durieg which lie visited ail places of
note in Europa and America, learning
many languages, he amassed a fortune, aud
commenced his archaeological investigations
and explorations in the East. In 18(i7 and
1809 he published several works in the
French language, giving the result of his in
vestigations. In February, 1?74, he ob
taiued permission from the- Greek Gov
ernment to excavate Mjceua 1 , where in
1870, he discovered the five royal tombs
which were pointed out to Pausanius as
those of Agamemnon and his companion*
who had been murdered by Argisthcia. The
tombs contained geld and silver objects of
perfectly artistic design aud workman
ship. On his return to England Dr
Schliemann was elected an honorary
member of the Grocers' Company, a Fellow
of the Societies of Antiquaries, a member of
the Royal Institute ol British Architects
and of the Archaeological Institute. Many
of the antiquities discovered by Dr. Schiei
mann have been placed on exhibi
tion in various museums. In his ex
plorations he was greatly assisted
Oy his wife, who is a native of Greece, and
a profound Greek scholar. In 1881, he pub
lished a description of his journey from
Athens to Orothomenos and Copais. Sub
sequent works were published in 188" 1883
and 1(*86. He recently finished the buildim:
