Sacra.mk.nto, Jan. 27.—The legislature
adjourned this morning out of respect to
the memory of Blame. Both houses
adopted resolutions praising the quali
ties of the dead statesman.
The senate resolutions said : "We de
sire to pay a tribute of our admiration
and respect to the worth and ability of

labors and matchless eloqnence accom
plished so much for California in her
struggle for permanency and supremacy
of Caucasian civilization."
Tne assembly, in its resolution, said :
"He has ever been ttie constant friend
of California and tjie champion of tbe
rights of her citizens."
Dodge introduced a concurrent resolu

pointed by each house to fix the time
and the speaker on such occasion.

Developments In Seattle's Sensation.
l>r. Jordan in a Bad Fix.
Seattle, Wash., Jan. 27.—1t devel
oped today in connection with the Yes
ler will contest that t l ie information on
which the city is prepared to begin pro
ceedings came from Dr. Jordan, through
Junius Rochester. The latter offered
Mayor Arnold to prove the existence of
a will leaving tbe bulk of the property
to the city, on condition that he and.for
dan were paid a contingent fee of one
fourth of the amount secured. At a sec
ret meeting of the council, corporation
counsel was authorized to go on
with the suit, though no contract waß
definitely closed. When ready to begin
the mayor backed out, and the city has
done nothing since. Lowmin then took
up the matter alone and caused the ar
rest. Jordan ie now in a predicament
If he fights the charge of Btealing the
will, he can not carry out his proposed
contract with the city; and, if he at
tempts to carry out his contract, he will
convict himself of c mplicity in the
alleged crime. Not only the will, but
four deeds to property bought by Yesler
in partnership with Jordan are missing
The attorney for Mrs. Yesler made a
vigorou tight for an immediate hearing
before Justice Humphreys today, but it
was postponed to Wednesday.
NOBODY HURT.
An Express Train Kane Into Three
Freight Care.
Marysvii.le, o*l., Jan. 27. — This
morning at 1 o'clock the north bound
Oregon express ran into three freight
cars on the main track at Reed station,
seven miles south of this city. The
freight cars were badly demolished and
the engine dami-grd. Both the engineer
and fireman miraculously escaped. The
engineer saw a man wildly waiving his
hands, but did not stop, believing he
was attempting to hold up the train.
After the accident, a wrecking train was
sent for, and by S o'clock the track was
clear, and with a fresh engine the expreeß
resumed its journey. A mysterious and
thus far unexplained portion of the
affair is how the freight cars got from
(he siding to the main track. At G
o'clock Thursday night some farmers in
the vicinity knew of the matter, but did
not let the railroad people here or in
Wheatland know they were there. It
ie thought come boys did it in a joke
and an investigation will be made.

A SAN BERNARDINO SENSATION.
Street ravins; Contracts l.ci Under the
Wrong Act.
Ban Bernardino, Jan. 27.—Somewhat
of a sensation has boen caused in this
city by the discovery of the fact that
the contract for paving Third street,
recently awarded by the city trustees,
was under the Vrooman act and not
under the Mathev;s act, the former re
quiring the payment iv full when tho
work incompleted, the latter giving 10
years time at 8 per cent interest.
Five blocks have been let, involving
the payment of about ?G2,000, none
of it being business property.
All being unproductive property
the owners feel the pressure severely
and are indignant that the blunder
Bhould have been made in letting the
contract. The property owners signed
a petition to pave, but with the under
standing that they would have 10 years'
time in which to pay for the same The
progressive spirit heretofore displayed
in public improvements will be some
what checked aa the result of this fatal
blunder. Half a million dollars has
been recently expended in street work
and other public improvements.

A WELTERWEIGHT FIGHT
BILLY b.ULAOnitK KNOUKKD OUT
liJT AN AUSTRALIAN.
A Hard Fmight Battle of Nineteen
Rounds—The California Boy
Was Game, lint the An
tipodean Won.
Sau Fkanoisco, Jan. 27.—8i1'/ Galla-
gher, * California welter weight, and
Tan Treacy, a recent arrival from Mel
bourne, met in a finieh fight at the Pa
cific Athletic club tonight. Much inter
est wav taken in the contest, owing to
Gallagher's good local reputation, and
to the fact that the Australian came
here with the best recommendations
from hie own country. Tr'eacy waa the
favorite before the battle at odda of
about 10 to 7. Gallagher was knocked
out by Treacy in the nineteenth round.
It was 9:30 o'clock before the fight be
?!4rs-uo^infTrffie ? close of the second,
when Gallagher received a hard counter
on the chin and went down. He took
nine seconds and arose without diffi
culty.
After the eecond round Treacy forced
the fighting, and during the next few
rounds he landed several good right and
left jabs on Gallag ,ere jaw and wind,
and got little in return. The men
clinched often, and Treacy showed a de
sire to wrestle and throw Gallagher.
In one of these attempts Gallagher sent
him spinning to the floor. Most of the
time the men were in Gallagher's cor
ner. The (Jalifornian led often, but was
not able to land with any great force.
No very lively work wbb done until
tho ninth round, when, after an ex
change of hard body blowß, Gallagher
assumed the aggressive. He landed
hard right jabs on the Australian's chin
and forehead, and again on the nose and
eye. The pace was hot, and Treacy be
gan to weaken. His face was bleeding
badly and lie had trouble in keeping off
Gallagher's attacks. He revived after
the rouud closed, however, aud did most
of the fightiDg in the next two roundp.
He was bleeding freely all the time. He
awung biß right on Gallagher's jaw and
throat and split the letter's lip.
There was a hot rally in the thir
teenth round and the Australian re
ceived several punches which staggered
him. Gallagher swung his right on
Treacv's head twice and the latter
clinched to avoid further punishment.
Gallagher parried him again in the
fourteenth. Little waß done daring the
next three rounds beyond ihe exacting
of an occasional punch on the jaw or on
the body.
Gallagher started in to do some hard
fighting in the eighteenth round. He
reached Treacy's jaw with a Btifl' punch
and received a hard counter in the wind.
He contiuuod to pound away at hiß op
ponent and the latter appeared groggy.
He reached the Australian's jaw sevo/al
more times before the round closed and
seemed to be winning the fight.
The nineteenth round was tbe last
and it resulted disastrously for the Cali
fornium Treacy had revived during the
minute's rest, and after a sharp rally in
which little harm was done, he swung a
bard one on Gallagher's head and an
other in hie wind. Gallagher was weak
ened by the blows and when he received
still another ewing on the head he
dropped in bis own corner. He took
nine seconds on the floor and rose slow
ly. Treacy was after him at once and
drove him around the ring. Gallagher
tried to hug the Australian to avoid
punishment but finally Treacy reached
his jaw with a stiff punch and he went
down on his knees against the ropes.
He waß too weak to rise this time and
was counted out
Joe Choynski was referee.

THE PANAMA CULPRITS.
TRUE 111 1.1.N FOUND AGAINBT MEN
IN HIGH LIFE.
Ex-Mlnlster Rouvier Included In the
Indictments-How the Incrim
inating; Evidence Waa
Obtained.
Paris, Jan. 27.—The examining mag
istrate haa found a true bill of accusa
tion against Deputy and ex-Minister
Kouvier, Senator Albert Grevy, brother
of the late president of the republic,
Senator Reral, Senator Deves and Sena
tor Leon Renault, on charges of corrup
tion in connection with the Panama
Canal company. Franqueville absolves
from accusation Deputy and ex-Minister
Jules Roche, Senator Thtvenet and
Deputy Emmanuel A-ene. Franque
ville also found a true bill againßt Dep
uties Dugue de la Fauoounerie and Aa*
The proceedings against Rouvier and
the other defendants originated through
tbe discovery of counterfoils of the so
called Thierre checks, which were sup
posed to have been burned. They were
discovered in the following manner:
The committee appointed by the
chamber of deputies to investigate the
charges of corruption in connection with
the Panama legislation, received an
anonymous letter declaring that the
counterfoils had been photographed, and
giving the name aud address of the pho
tographer. This letter was forwarded to
Frauqueville, who sent the police com
missary to the photographer. The offi
cer succeeded in laying his hands upon
the photographs. The photographer
admitted having printed six proofs from
a negative of counterfoils and having
sent them to Thierre. He added that
he kept six proofs for himselt, and these
he gave to the police officer, who after
wards confronted Thierre with the
same. The banker being called upon to
surrender any photographs in his pos
session, nt first maintained that he had
destroyed the original counterfoils, but
ultimately admitted that he had en
trusted them to the care of a notary,
whose address he gave. The commissary
of police at once proceeded to this nota
ry's office, where he found the missing
counterfoils.
AN EXPERIMENT.
Australia, to Furnish Meat for British
'Soldiers.
London, Jan. 27.—Wordall, financial
secretary of the war office, received a
deputation of Queensland meat export
ers on the subject of supplying meat to
the army. Wordall, after hearing the
deputation, said although Australian
frozen meats were inferior to chilled
American meats, yet the government
was willing to give exporters of meat
from Australia an opportunity to show
what they could do. The government
would therefore apply to parliament at
the coming session for funds to establish
storage chambers at Gibraltar for Aus
tralian meat, to feed the garrison at that
post, and if the experiment should prove
successful, the use of Australian meat
in the army would be extended.

A Profound Sensation Caused by th.»
News of nis Death Throughout
the Nation—many Tributes
of Respect.
By tiie Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 27.—The protracted
illneßß of Hon. James G. Blame termin
ated fatally at 11 o'clock this morning.
The end came peacefully, the ex-sec
retary paaaing from a state of uncon
sciousness to death. His wife and
children were at his bedside.
The news quickly spread to the Capi
tol and throughout the city. It waa
everywhere expected, but when the an
nouncement came the impression made
was more profound than any created by
similar news since the death of Abraham
Lincoln.
TIIE FAMILY WERE FOREWARNED.
Blame's death at last came painlessly
and quiet, but not without premonition.
The approach of death was made evi
dent to the family fully two hours be
fore its actual occurrence. It was
between 8 and 9 o'clock thia morning
when the first dangerous symptom
were observed. Both physicians were
immediately telephoned for and arrive*
within a few minutes of each other
The powerful heart stimulant (nitro
glycerine) which had several time
brought the patient out of the dar
valley of death, was powerless now.
Dr. Hyatt at 9:3 D came out and sai
to the group of waiting newspaper nic
that he feared the end was at hand
In the meantime all of the family «
summoned into the death chamber '
*fra. TH»s«n>', H'attie Blame, Mrs. D*<n
rosch, James G. Blame, jr., and Hist
Dodge (Gail Hamilton). In silence and
tearful sorrow they witnessed
TIIE CLOSING SCENE.
The patient lay so quietly that even
the doctors were hardly able to say when
he died. No word of consciousness, no
look of recognition, passed. At 10:45
he lay so still that the window shades
were raised to give more light, to ena
ble the physicians to determine if life
Btill lingered. Fifteen minutes later
they proclaimed him dead.
EXCITEMENT CAUSED BY THE NEWS,
The news was instantly flasned all
over the world. Young Blame was in
the act of writing a note to President
Harrison to inform him of the event,
when the president himself arrived,
accompanied by Private Secretary Hal
ford and Secretary of State Foßter. All
the rest of the cabinet quickly followed,
and excitement throughout the city
became general as the news spread.
NO PUBLIC KlNh.ll.vL.
A public funeral was suggested, but
the wishes of the family prevailed and
the ceremonies will be of a private
nature. They will be held at the Pres
byterian church of the Covenant where
Dr. Hamlin, who officiated at the funer
al of Mrs. Harrison and her father, will
conduct the services. The remains will
be laid at rest in the beautifull Oak Hill
cemetery in Georgetown, which now
forms part of vv ashington city, by the
side of his favorite eon, Walker Blame,
and his daughter, Mrs. Coppinger.
TnE CAUSE OF HIS DEATH.
The physicians have officially made
public the cause of Blame's death
as Bright's disase of the kidneys, aggra
vated by a tubercular disease of the
lungs and followed by heart failure.
THE DOCTORS' OEFICIAL STATEMENT.
Following is the official statement of
the attending physicians aa to the cause
of his death:
The beginning of Blame's illness
dates back some yeara. The earliest
signs of his ill health were associated
with and no doubt due to a gouty ten
dency which manifested itself in sub
acute attacks of gout, disturbances of
the digeßtionand progressive innutrition
and ancomia. Subsequent events prove
that at thiß time changes were going on
in the arteries of the body which re
sulted later in symptoms of obliteration
of the vessels and chronic disease of the
kidneys. In December signs of a lung
complication appeared, which no doubt
were connected with the general disease;
but as tuber baccili were found in his
sputa, it is probable there was some
tubercular infection as well. Much of
the distress which Blame Buffered is as
sociated with his disease of the lunga,
and his death was cerUi«ly hastened
