REILLY'S FUNDING BILL.
Sir Chariot Rivera Wl'auu la Dl.natlillo.l
With It.
San Francisco, Doc. 21. —Sir Charlea
Rivers Wilson, ths special delegate of
the British holders of Central Pacific
railway ssenrlties, arrived in the city
thia afternoon. Sir Charles represent)
(JO per cent of the $68 000,000 ol Central
Pacific stook held in Eogland, Holland
and the United Stales, and bli mission
here is to ascertain the precise conditio i
of the railroad's affairs.
In an interview today he expressed
his dissatisfaction with tbe Keilly fund*
ing bill. He thinks on the basis of 3
per cent as proposed :n tbe bill there
would be nothing left for the stockhold
ers and he thinkß the bondholders have
been having things all their own way
long enough. Sir Charles says tho
foreign stockholders are also dissatisfied
with tbe present rule by which tbe
Southern Pacitio operates the Central
Pacific Under the former syßtem the
stockholders were guaranteed annual
dividends, bat under the operation ol
the present contract not a dollar goes
out for this purpose.
Tbe reason for this, Sir Charles says,
is that although tbe foreigners own a
majority of tbe shares the stook is un
registered, and they bad no voioe in de
termining the present nrraatgasnent, and
in fact their wishes were not even con
sulted when the existing contract waß
under consideration.

Franciico** New Chartnr.
San Francisco. Dec. 21.—The free
holders of the city and comity of San
Francisco met this afternoon for organ
ization. I. W. Hellman was present,
not only with his certificate of election,
bat with a communication from his
awyer, B. F. Bergen, in which he is
authorized to take his seat as a board
member and fulfill tbe duties to which
he has been elected.
Bergen holds that Hellman is in honor
bound to act with tbe board. He says
the law required that 15 freeholders be
elected; that so far as anybody knows
15 were elected and that he should not
retire, thus invalidating the work of tbe
board should it proceed without him.
He says tbat he (Hellman) is a lawful
member of the board until the court de
cides that he is not, and this decision
cannot be brought about except by the
attorney-general of tbe state bringing
the matter before the supreme court
and this, he can only do npon the pe
tition of citizens. Therefore, tbe
opinicn concludes, Mr. Hellman is in
honor hound to serve until so enjoined
by the court.

who died in the province ol Onlairn
about 18 months ago. If Mrs. Blatter

Thia provision of toe will is sOppOied
to he tiie excuseol three attempts which
have recently been made to abduct Mrs.

father is proprietor of the Rhodes houl
in i iirard, where sue and her husband
live. She was found iast night bound
band and foot and gained in the garden
near the entrance to the hotel baru.
When discovered she was unconscious.
S c was carried iuto tbe bo.ioe and a
physician luminoned. He found that
nho wao suffering from the application
of some drusr.
When she recovered she *aid she
could only remember that alter she was
passing through the hotel hallway in
the front of the building some one seized
her from behind and thrust a sponge
over her nose and mouth. It is thought
her captors were scared away when tbey
bad taken ber as far ai tbe place where
she was found. About this time a wagon
was heard to drive rapidly away from
tbe hotel but no one thought of any
harm, so the vehicle and ite occupants
or occupant got away unnoticed. This is
the third attempt to kidnap Mrs. Bax

Mrs. Baxter is unable to give a good
description of the men, notwithstanding
her three experiences. The family will
not give the names of the old heirs,who
are suspected of trying to get Mrs. Bax

MURDERED FOR MONEY.
THEORY BEO\RUING THE KILIi-
UQ OF MRS. MATaON.
The Tlimbiml of the V ctlra of Hit To
ll ka Trssjeiiy l*t*lbg at San
Oiago.
Tip'ka, Knn , Doc. 21.—The most
plausible theory regarding the murder
of Mrs. Mutsoa appears to be that she
was murdered by some ono familiar
with her wars and who knew she kept
money in tbe house, collocted each
mouth from half a dozen tenements.
Mrs. Matain's husband, from whom she
is separated but not divorced, lives in
San Diego.
She was expecting him to visit her in
Topeka some time this month. A mes
sage was received thin afternoon from
San Diego: "Mr. Matßon is otill in tho
oity, but has beard nothing ol the mur
der. Your message has been tent to
his house, about two miles out." He is
a music teacher.
Today letters were found in Mrs. Mat
son's house written by her husband
from California in November. They
told of come domeßtio trouble between
the two and expiessed contrition ou the
part of her husband and desire to re
turn to Topeka, which place be left
eight years ago.
THK Ut'BBAND IN SiN DIKGO.
San Dihoo, Dec. 21.—The husband of
Mrs. A. 1). Matson, who was foully mur
dered some days ago in her house in
Topeka, Kan., and discovered Thnriiday
afternoon, lives in the suburbs of San
Diego, wbero he has purchased several
lots. He ia staying here for bis health.
The first he knew of the terrible affair
was when he was notified by Attorney
L. A. Wright, whe received word from a
friend at Topeka that Mr. Matson was
to be found here. Mr. Matson said that
he had no idea of the identity of the
murderers as he knew of no trouble be
tween his wife and others, and in fact be
had been away for several months and
did not know of the domestic arrange
ments at his home. He said tbat the
last letter from his wife, received some
weeks ago, waa to the effect that she in
tended to go to their ranoh, some 125
miles from Topeka, on business. It was
there, when Mr. Matson first heard of
her murder, that he supposed the deed
was committed.

guished with difficulty. The Chen Yuen
gallantly placed herself between the
Japanese vesiels and the Ting Yuan,
taking tbe fire of tbe fleet while her
flagship extinguished the flames. The
main Japanese squadron continued tbe
action with tbe battleships, bnt though
their projectiles hit time and again, the
14-inch armor was more than a match
for the Japanese lighc guns.
LOKUKS ON BOTH SIDES.
Tbe Japanese loss consisted of 10
officers aud CO men killed and 160 of all
r.'.nks wounded. Nm» of their vessels
were lost, the Matsushim, Hiyei and

SUNDAY UONCUKTS,
Boston Polio* Commission.™ Place ao
Kinbargo on Them.
Boston, Deo. 21. —After aa executive
session lasting for several hoars, the
board of police, which has been investi
gating the propriety of the Sunday
evening concerts, has decided to revoke
the licenses granted to the Palaoethsa -
ter, Howard Atheneum and tbe Grand
dime museum. No notion was takoa in
tbe cases of the Boston and Hollis-street
theaters, judgment in tbe former case
being suspended on account of a dis
agreement.
The reason given for revoking tbe
three licenses is that the managers of
those theaters do not pay special atten
tion to the sacredness of the Sunday
concert programmes. The licenses were
granted by the board of aldermen, but
under an act of tbe legislature of 1894
the board oi police is given authority to
revoke the lioenses granted by the
aldermen. This decision is looked upon
as a viotory by tbs leaders of tha move
ment against Sunday concerts.
