He Relieves Borni et al. ol the Odlnm or Trying to Defraud Badd or His Ollice and Fathers It Hlin.elf. By the Associated Press. Ban Francisco, Dec. 12. —In an inter« view to be published in tbe Evening Post today M. M. Kitee takes npon him self all responsibility for the action be gun in bia behalf in the state supreme court to contest the election of Jamee H. Budd cc governor. Estee says he can no longer allow the Democratic press and politicians to etate tbat be disap proves of the attempt of bis party lead ers to investigate the alleged election frauds in San Francisco. The Post also prints the following card from Estee to the people of California: mr. kstek's card. San Franciscj. Doc. 12, 1804. Totlio Teople of California; Some days ago in a letter addressed to the Republican state committee I stated ' I will make no contest to secure tbe office of governor, either on my account or by my direction. The question whether there has been an honest vote and fair count is for the people to de cide," Thia is my position still co fur as it relates to the office of governor. I would not accept that office if tbe tit c rested upon mere technical grounds, but I cannot permit my frienda or my party to stand in a false poeition, or to do lor me what I am not will ing to endorse. It is due to Mr. Cornwall, who recently commenced an action in the supreme court to test the validity of the election in oertain pre cincts in San Francisco; it ia due to tbe whole people ol tbe state, regardless of party, for me to explain why these pro ceedings have been taken. They bave been brought to uncover alleged frauds in ths recent election in San Francisco, and not for th* purpose of changing tbe result by technical means. lam willing to assume all re sponsibility of tbis litigation, and I state now tbat is ie right. I say further, there is nothing worth preserving in our government; there is nothing wortb preserving iv the Republican party, if we cannot have an honest vote and a lair counl at our elections. The petition file! asks for a recount in certain precincts in San Francisco which show the earmarks of fraud. No goO!i citizen can object to this. No law abiding Republican can oppose tbia pro ceeding. It is not an attack upon a party. It ia to test the purity of our elections. It would seem tbat in San Francisco custom has made election frauds popnlar, and opposition to them ia railed an attack upon tho elective franchise. TIIK SAN FRANCISCO VOTE. San Francisco, Dec. 12. — Tbe official canvass of the vote for governor in thie county at the last election was com pleted at the registrar's office this after noon.

A MOB MADE A GIJOD INDIAN OF HIM. The Clttrane of Fort Jonea nave Regan a Crni.il, Again.t Crlm* by Lynching an Indian Uurd.rur, Fort Jonbs, Cel., Dec. 12.—William Dean, tbe Indian who murdered Will iam Baremore at Happy Camp last Thursday, waa bronght here yesterday by Constable Dixon of Happy Camp, on tbe way to Yreka, where Dean had been committed to tbe county jail to await a trial before tbe superior court on the charge of murder. About 2 o'clock thia morning about a dozen masked men went to the Fort Jones hotel, where the constable and Dean were slaying, and broke open the door of the room wbere tbe men were, and demanded Dean. Tbe constable made an attempt to re sist, but be was soon overcome by the mob, which disarmed him and took the prisoner out of bed. Tbey tied him hand and foot, and telling the constable if be made any disturbance they wonld kill bim, tbey carried Dean about 200 yards down tbe main street, where there waa a derrick, and faetsned a rope around hiß nock and swung bim up. The mob waited for a short while to make sure he was dead, then they quiokly departed and disappeared, and this morning when the citizens of Fort Jones got around they saw a sight they will notsoon iorget. The dead body of Deau wae swinging in the air, where it remained until about 0 o'clock, when it was cut down by the coroner of tbia connty. There is no clue to the mob, as the work was done iv a quiet and determ ined manner, and as soon as it waa over they disappeared, loaving no trace behind. This town was the home of Dsan and he had a bad reputation, and wbile tbe crime he suffered for waa not done here, the action of the mob bas the approval of many law-abiding citizens. The verdict of the coroner's jury thia afternoon was that Dean came to his death by hanging, at tbe hands of parties unknown. This is the first lynching in this part of tbe country, but many crimes havo been committed lately, and it seems that the citizens have determined to put a stop to it. FAI.SK PUKTENBKS.

Chicago, Dec. 12.—At 5 o'clock this afternoon President Cram, of the Shoe and Leather National bank of New York, walked into United States Mar shol Arnold's office. Half an hour aft erward he was sitting in Inspector Shea's office, when the door opened and hia defaulting bookkeeper, Samuei 0. Seely, stepped into the room. Mr. Seely reached out and took the extended band of President Cram. As the president ebook Seely's band with the warmth of an old friend, it was readily seen that Seely was much af fected. "Mr. Cram, I did not think you would want to shake bands with me," said Seeiy. Mr. Cram pushed him into the chair beside him and replied in a kindly tone: "Why, Sam, lam glad to see you; eit down." For half an hour tbey were oloeeted together. Inspector Shea, at the re quest of Mr. Grain, invited the newspa per reporters to enter the room. Then President Cram said: "Gentlemen, from the importance of the affair, you naturally expect some startling developments from this con versation I have bad with Mr. Seely. I have called you in tbat I might speak in his presence. He absolutely refuses to talk abont his case. He says he is entirely in tbe hands of hiß counsel, Frank W. Angel, who has requested tnat he talk to no one about the matter. He has told me tbere is no one to whom he would sooner tell all than to me, but he would obey the injunction of bis counsel. He stubbornly, if you please, but firmly refuses to talk." Turning to Seely be said: "Isn't that so?" "Yes, sir; I refuse to talk about the matter." At the suggestion of a reporter. Presi dent Grain asked : "Was there anyone else connected with this defalcation be sides Baker?" "That ia tbe only man," replied Seely, " Were there no others ?" "No one else." Aa to the uuestion of authority in the return of Seely to New York, Mr. Grain said tbat it was probable that Seely would be turned over to the federal authorities. Seely said: "I prefer to go back with the govern ment authorities." Mr. Grain said tonight that nnder the terms of the reward offered for the ar rest of Seely, it will be paid only after the conviction of the prisoner. This mill be Bud news for McFarland, who lias made several calls on the police de* partment to see when be waa going to get that $5000. He wante it all at once and wante it now. Seely was shown a New York dis patch tbis afternoon reporting his wife prostrated and seriously ill. He was much agitated and eagerly inquired for late* news from her. "I cannot Bend any enoouraging word to ber," said be, "but I hope some one will tell her I sra well." "Did you profr much by the alleged defalcation?" asked a reporter. 'T cannot answer that now," said he, "hut Ido not look very prosperous do I? Do you think I look as though I had very many thousands of dollars?" Seely talked very bitterly of McPar land, the man who aided in bis arrest. •'1 don't want to say much about Mc- Farland." he said, "but I consider giv ing tne away a low trick. I hope tbat $5000 reward for my capture will go to thepoltoe instead of him. No, I have no idea as to how the bank people will treat me. Whether they v/ill be hard en me or not I don't uare very rnuoh, aa thin thing has taken the Intereat out of life for me." HAWAII\N ABFAIRS. Sale of a Big PlantHtlon — Smuggled Opium—i.T.r.

Florence, Ariz., Dec. 12. — Judge Rouse last night at 8 o'clock sentenced Oscar Rogers, convicted of train robbing, to be banged on the Bth of February. The jury was out only 30 minutes. The evidence against Rogere was very strong. Tbe crime for which he has been sen tenced to suffer the death penalty was perpetrated on tbe 30th of las Septem ber, when three meu, Osuar Rogers, Frank Armer and John Donavan, bold np the eastbonnd overland at Maricopa station at midnight. They were daring in work, bnt made only a small hanl, securing only $60 from the Wells-Fargo local box and the messenger's gold watch. Armer was captured tbe following day near Phoenix after a desperate fight with tbe sheriff and posse. He was badly wounded, bnt has fully recovered. Rogers was enptursd by fanners along tbe lower Gila river, near Yuma, about the 15th of November, and was brought to 'lucaon. He bad been confined in jail only a short while before he made a desperate attempt to secure his freedom by digging through the wall. He was discovered at work, however, just ac he was removing the last layer ot brick. Jobn Danavan is etill at large, and tbe officers bave about given up all hope of ever effecting his capture. He ia eaid to be the moat desperate one of the gang. Rogers and Armer were indicted some daya ago on a number of charges grow ing oat cf the Maricopa robbery, Last week Armer pleaded guilty and waa eentenced to 30 years in tbe Yuma pen itentiary. Rogers declared bimeelf in nocent and the trial resulted as already stated. An appeal will be taken. Tbe general opinion of the legal lights of the territory is that the law making train robbery a capital offense ia unconstitu tional, and tbat the supreme court of tbe territory wili order a new trial in tbe caee of Rogers on a simple charge of robbery.

A Futile Attempt to Dis place It With a Popgun Tariff Bill. CLOTURE AGAIN DEFEATED Th. Urgency Deficiency Bill Taken Up. In the Houae—Opposition to tha Pension and Income Tax ProTl.lon.. By the Associated Press. Washington, Dec. 12.—Thsrs wis a amall attendance in tbe senate today when it was called to order, Oa motion of Alien of Nebraska tba senate passed an amendment to tbe house bill, amending section 8 of tbe act of March 3, 1889, withdrawing publio lands from private entry. He explained, that the bill was important at tbis tima on account of the large number of per-, sons in the northwest driven from their homes on account of drought. Piatt, Republican of Connecticut, then addressed tbe senate briefly on the bill introduoed by Berry to establish the ter ritory of Indianola irom the territory now occupied by the five civilized tribes. He said that something must be done to change the government of the Indians 'n the Indian territory. The Indians themselves request that the Indian gov ernment sbauld be abolished, as well as as the 300,000 white people who had been allowed and enoouraged to go into the Indian country. He did not over etate tbe matter when he said that leg ielation was openly and nnbiuehingiy bought in the Indian legislatures, nor did be overstate it when he eaid that the administration of juetice wae bought and sold for tbe benedt of the "white Indian." At the conclusion of Mr. Piatt's epeech, tbe bill was referred to the committee on Indian affairs. Pugh presented the credentials of Senator John T. Morgan, re elected by the Alabama legialature for a term ol six yeara, from March, 1885. Tba resolution of Higgins, calling for correspondence relating to tbe offer of mediation by tba United States in the war between China and Japin, waa tben passed. On motion of Call the senate took no the resolution heretofore offered by him authorizing tbe appointment of a com mittee to investigate and report whether the Louisiana and Honduras Lottery company had been established and is now in operation in Florida. After a statement by Call, the resolu tion was referred to the committee oa contingent expenses. Tbe senate then proceeded to tho cori eideration of pension biila nn the calen dar. Among those parsed were b/.ils granting pensions of $11)0 per mont/i to Mary Palmer Banks, widow of W ajor General Nathanial P. Banks; Mrs. Katherine Todd Crittenden and tn .U*-. jor General A. McOlernand. A riena'.e bill was passed to authorize tfie con struction ol a bridge across tne Red River of the North at Drayton, li. I). At 2 o'clock Gray, Democrat, ol Dali ware, stated that he lm .no 'desire ;o delay consideration of the nana,', bill, but he considered tbe tariff bills >o( greater importance, and he though*, the sonata should bave an opportunity to say whether these bills should be consid ered. He did not think the discussion of the bills would occasion any grtal delay. He therefore moviid to dieplect the canal bill with the sugi.r bill. Senator Morgan stated that while h< favored tbe sugar bill, he should I*! compelled to vots agaimt its considera tion at tbe present time, owing to tha fact that he had been placid in charge of the Nicaragua canal bill. The bill was then read, after which Senator Berry, Democrat, of Arkansas demanded the ayes and nays or. ths question. When the announcement came il showed the defeat of Gray's mition by 23 to 27. Vest, Democrat, of Missouri took tin floor to move to take up hiß resolution for an amendment of the senate rules, with a modification instructing tha committee ou rules to report by the 15th inst. He asked for the ayes and nays on tbe motion. The motion was lost; 24 to 37. The senate then resumed considera tion of tne Nicaragua cnnal bill and Morgan addressed the senate. Morgan devoted considerable time to a dißcucsiou of tbe international ques tions that presented themselves in con nection with this matter and uf ths right of the government to participate in tbe construction of the canal, in view of the existence of treaties, etc. There could be no more majestic position as sumed by the i'nited States anions tba family of nations than to take up tin subject and have tho canal In closing, Morgan announced that lit was very anxious to have progress mad* with the bill, and he asked tbe Benatort to inform tbomeelvea on tho matter ac it conld be brought to a vote at an earij day. He intimated that he would soo*
