( Special Telegram to The flee. ) No crime committed In Sun Francisco since Stock Gambler Rlp- pey shot down Millionaire John Mackay has created so much excitement as the cruel murder today of Bank Cashier William Her- rlck of the uptown branch of the San Fran cisco Savings Union. Thu man who killed Herrlck gave his name as Ilonnemant , but elaborate tattooing on his arms and breast led to his Idcntlllcatlon as William Fredericks , a notorious ex-con- vlct , for whom a laige icward has been offered for nearly a year for shooting llrake- in.in Ilrlicc ot the Southern Pacific last June , nnd also for Killing Sheriff Pascoe of Nevada coiinty vvhllo pursuing him. Fredericks Is also accused ot being an associate of Chris Evans , the train robber , and it la known that he furnished the arms with which George Son tag made his desperate break from Folsom prison l.ibt spring. Fredericks had evidently carefully planned his attack on the bank , selecting an hour when Jiti knew that only the cashier and bookkeeper were present. Ho counted on getting about $10,000 which was In the trays , bjit ho did not reckon on the determined resistance made by the cashier , who had a pjslol In his drawer , nor on the presence ot mind of Bookkeeper Melvln , who puisued him. INTENDED TO KILL BOTH. Fredericks , who Is tin expert pistol shot , It Is believed had planned to kill both men and Mien esiape with tlio booty. When he pre ejited the letter to the cashier and the latter throw It back , Frederick pulled his revolver und crled , "Stand back. " At the Baino moment he pulled the trigger. The cap snapped , which gave Herilck time to get his pistol. , I'ledcrlcks had an extia cap and -an extra overcoat , so that the po lice assume that his plan was to change his derby hat for the cap , slip oft his ovcj- coit and thus escape. As It was ho came near getting away , as no police weic In the 'Vicinity ard the fugitive intimidated pass- crjsby with hls plstol. * Vrederfcks talked" freely this afternoon and was perfectly cool and self-possessed. " "He said Ijo prepared a bottle of alcohol with a fusa , so that It looked exactly like ta small dynamite bomb. This ho slipped down on the counter In front of Herrlck , with a letter written In red Ink demanding money. He Intended the thing purely as a bluff , and expected to run If there was trouble , but before ho could turn Herrlck grabbed his pistol and fired straight at htm. Fredericks says ho foil something lilt him In the eye and then ho became rattled and opened fire , hitting Herrlck at the first shot. He expressed no contrition for the act. ' AVENGERS WERE AT HAND. Cashier Herrlck was very popular and the Indignation aroused by his murder led to the gathering of so largo a crowd about the city c s- hall and such strong threats of lynching that * v the prisoner vvlll probably bo rvmovcd to t the county Jalrfoi safety. Herrlck was 35 years of ago and resided in Oakland. Fredericks Is u good loklng German of . more than ordinary Intellect. Ho writes German correctly , hut his English Is de fective. Ho has had a good education and has read much. Ho has not less than sixteen Jlgu.s tattooed in India Ink on his arms and breast , and It Is to hla romantic fondness for these sailor decorations that he owes his Identification. When llrst caught It was thought ho was some fresh ly arrived anaichlst , as his papers contained many anarchist documents , and ho had tint-atoned the cashier to blow up ( lie bank with nltro-glyccrlne , AH soon as he was Identified It was seen at once that ho had simply been dabbling In this dynamite literature as a cloak to his real plans , as ho had burglar tools In his possession. Ho has Miovvn repeatedly tljat lie Is a desperate man who would commit murder without compunction and his latest crlmo furnishes ample proof ot this. mat to Honor n Demand for 'Money CoitM H Hunk faultier Ills Life. SAN FRANCISCO. March 23. A man \ -went Into the branch of the San Francisco Savings union , which Is situated at the corner of Maiket and Polk streets , about 8,30 o'clock this morning. Ho presented n written demand for money to Cashier William A. Herrlck. The demand was * refused , whereupon the desperado niurdeicd the cabhler and lied , but was captuied n few blocks away. The note presented to % the murdered cashier read as follows ; "Mr. Cashier : Sir After considering my deplorable condition , I am convinced that this life Is not worth living without desperate means , and therefore I am re solved to make ono moro effort to seek help to sustain my miserable existence. Should you not comply with my demand I am compelled to employ my last remedy a liottle of ultra-glycerine and to bury my self under the ruins of the building , blasted to overlaying nothingness. Yours respectfully - ' spectfully , A DESPONDENT MAN. " This note was penned In red Ink and at the bottom was imlely sketched a bkull and cross-bones. After glancing at the iloru- "p mcnt Ilorrlck returned It to the man with s e. shako of thu head. The man quickly drew a revolver and tired , but his aim was bad. Herrlck seized his pistol , which lay beside his desk. The cashier and desperado fired at each other almost simultaneously. The former missed , but the hitter's second nhot found Its mark. The bullet passed Into Derrick's heart ; Aa the murderer turned to flco Hook , beeper C. S. Melvln drew a pistol and sent n number of bullets after him , two of which It was afterward dUcovcred look effect. The assassin was pursued from the scene by n large crowd of people , among whom was n quantity of police olllcors. The fugitive Jumped Into a wagon and druvo bovcral blocks. Finally ho turned Into a blind alley and was forced to abandon the vvapon , He Jumped over the fenceInlo a yard and crawled umlc'r a vacant house. There the ollh.ers located him , and though the murderer had a pistol In hU possession he surrendered. Upon the prisoner were found two -JS.call- bcr pistols , a belt full of cartridges and a . dirk Knife , a razor and a fuse , such as U V until to Ignite dynamite. Upon being taken to tlu > city prison ho gave his name as Fred lluiincment and said ho came here from Denver last vveuk Ho had been seriously wuunded by .Uelvlu'a UulieU , one striking his temple near the eye , the other lodging In his left hhouldcr.

Probably be catiKe It was cabinet day , and therefore dlttlcult to get the car ot the president , ther wcro few congressmen at the white nous today , lltit they have In no dcgrea been re llcvcd ot anxiety as to the fate ot UK seigniorage bill , and doubtless will make ui In numbers tomorrow the omissions of to day. The situation at the white house pro scnts ono strong feature of novelty , In thi fact that It appears to be the scene of r bloodless battle just now between the con gressmcn on ono hand , the large majority o whom arc urging the signing of the seignior ago bill , and the great commercial InterosU of the country on the other , for twenty-nine out of every thirty of the communication' from thorn pray for the veto of the bill. The congressmen have the advantage ot persona presence on the field , but the other side Is in evidence of great force In the large number of letters tccelvcd In the prcsl dcntlal mall , and ot telegrams that come BO numciously as to keep the white house operator occupied to his lull capacity. These communications by mall and wlro arc com ing from all parts of the country , and arc not , as might be supposed , altogether ol eastcin origin. For Instance , today there were appeals for a veto from Cincinnati St. Louis , San Franclbco and Salerti , Ore Vliginla has also joined the line , as was made evident by protests against the bll from the cotton factories of Norfolk and the transportation Interests there. Aery thoughtful presentation of objectlohs to the bill coming from Richmond , without doubt has made some impression upon the presi dent. Of course It Is manifestly impossible for the president to read himself in dotal all of these communications , but they are carefully examined by Mr. Thurber and any new point 01 suggestion on elthei side oi the case Is brought to the attention ot the president. There are all sorts , of stories alloat as to the president's disposition toward the bill , and some have gone to the length of reciting that lie has already pie- pared a veto message. If this be trtto ho has not taken the members of the cabinet Into , -hls confidence , and at the meeting today the subject was discussed from all points of view , with a distinct Impression in the minds of the members of the cabinet that the president Is still open to convic tion. Ho has up to and Including next Thurs day nearly a week to make up his mind what to do with the bill , and thcie are In dications that he proposes to nsc most of this time in thoughtful consideration of the matter. It is certain he has committed himself to no man as respects his action on the bill. When a congressman calls to urge the signature of the bill he Is HKely to have put to him a question that discourages him , but ho soon learns hla colleague , who prays for a veto , has had a precisely blmilar experience , and both are left more in doubt as to the outcome than before their call. It is noticeable that some of thu communica tions received urging a veto concede that , owing to the slow formation of popular opin ion , the result may be a temporary party loss at the polls , but they Insist that in the end the sound and conservative course they approve will surely bo rewarded by popular support. This view Is stiongly exptessed In the communications from the south , which , In cases , adjuie the president to fol low the line of conduct pursued by him In making the tariff Issue. The comparatively few appeals for the signature ot the bill , as a rule , are based on the plea that It will done no harm and is absolutely demanded to In sure party unity and the control of the next house of representatives. A rumor has found publication to the effect that the president is about to go on a fishing' trip of a few days , probably to Wood- inont , Va. , but the rumor can be positively dented. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ AT THU OII.JUCTIONS. I'liinierH of the Now Chinese Treaty Ililnk tint Mcuauio Unjustly Crltlul/eil. WASHINGTON , March 23. Some surprise Is manifested In admlnlsttatlon circles at the opposition that has already developed to the now Chinese treaty. The new treaty , said one who spoke for the State department today , Is the outcome of months of patient work and skillful negotiation , and It was hoped the State department had succeeded at last In settling In a mannet entirely" satis factory the question of regulating Chinese immigration. Tor nearly ten yeirs this subject has been a source of trouble and the public has surely appreciated the danger to which the country lias been exposed of a total severance of friendly relations with China , with the probable loss of our valuable commercial relations with that country. The correspondence which has passed In that time between our State department and the diplomatic representatives of the Chinese government , however , mikes this very clear , for the Chinese have used "some very severe language In charging our government vvitlt a deliberate violation of treaties. So , In nego tiating the tieaty now before the senate for latlflcatlon , the administration felt It had achieved some vciy deniable results , for not only had It set at rest the morally sound complaint of China , but had at the same time preserved in the form of sacred treaty obligations all of the restrictive features of the existing Chinese restriction laws that , In the opinion of the department were worthy of perpetuation Tills tesult was secured with the entire approval of the Chinese gov ernment. There was a reasonable certainty , also , that the tieaty would meet the ap proval of the senate , unless there had been a great change In public opinion within the past few yeuts , for It was framed on the lines of the treaty negotiated by Secretary Hayard In Ii > S7 , which had received the un qualified sanction of the senate. It Is felt that some of the criticisms which have been passed upon the new treaty are unreasonable , or clad have been made under a misconception of the exact scope of the Instrument , Such , for Instance , Is said to bo the complaint that the treaty opens the way to fraud , In that It will permit Chinese who leave the United States with the express determination to leturn to sell tholr papers to other Chinese and thus keep up a stream of Immigration , As a matter of fact , the treaty clothes the collectors of customs nt Immigrant ports with the widest measure of discretion In this particular ; and they may frame thulr regulations relative to Identifi cation of Chinese returning to America with such completeness as to make It absolutely impossible for any substitution to take place uul thus Insure the country against further mmlgratlon of Chinese. As to the objection Unit has been made to the treaty provision allowing thu Chinese government to place similar restrictions as to certification , etc. , upon the Immigration of American laborers Into China , It Is uigcd by the friends of the treaty that no great hardships will be worked , for , In the 111 at place , It Is doubt ful whether the Chinese government over will exercise the power It reserves In this particular , and , .In the second place , there are probably not moro than two score of American laborers In all China at this time who would bo affected , even should the see- .Ion be made operative. The 1'aclflo coast delegation In congress Is eagerly discussing Its terms , ot which all the Information they have Is the reports mbllshed In the Associated press dispatches Ucpresentatho Geary of California , the itithor of the Geary act , Bald he expected o read the treaty carefully during the day Jntll then ho would give no opinion on Its effect In admitting Chinese. The democratic congressmen from Cali fornia rvero averse to cxprwnlng their views the republicans are very emphatic in con dcmnlng the treaty. Me. Bowers of Call fornla said : "Thin treaty , U a part of th general sympathy of the present ailmlnlstra tlon for the Chlnc q. Tnc , theory of th Geary law was sharply restrictive and th theory of this treaty h to nullify th restrictions. " , Representative Illlhorn ol California , wh was United State * ' dlstrlit attorney durlni the first prosecution of Chinese under th original Chinese cnlualon law , said tonight "Tho reported features of tiie treaty pro vldlng that American laborers shall reglste Is meaningless , as wo htive not moro thai fifty laborers In tint country. If there wa to be reciprocity It should have been It protecting Americans In China. Our people missionaries and others , take their lives li their hands when th&y go twenty miles lnt < the Interior of Clrlna. That country wll never grant us the protection she asks fo her people In this country. The proposec treaty will be a great shock to the Pactll states. " Uepresentotlvo Magulrc of California said "In so far as the treaty In any way change. the political provisions for Chinese exclusion which represent the result of twelve yean experience , I am opposed to It , I think tin treaty should unqualifiedly recognize am uphold all present laws on the subject o Chinese Immigration. I can see no objcctlot to having China establish ; and maintain reg Istratlon laws applying to our citizens Ir China nor to those \vhlchMia\o applied to hei citizens in this country. " * Representative Wilson of Washington said "After battling for years for an adequate restrictive law , the present pro-Chinese ant pro-lirltlsh administration has overrldder the law and has not only gone Into the bus ! ness ot aiding the Chinese to Invade my state , but has also' nade contracts wltli Urltlsh coil firms across Jhe border from otti state and in competition with our people. " Representative Ellia'of Oregon said : "The reported abandonment , ! photographic Iden tification will take away the vlt-il means o Identification. Until the full treaty Is at hand It will be difficult to form an oplnloi of It , but If It In any way limits the present restriction or makes Chinese Immigration easier , It will bo a serious blow to the people of the Pacific coa t.

There Is con. slderablc excitement today among the students and others who took part In the riotous demons rations last night agalnsl those citizens who had not displayed em blems of mourning lu honor of Louis Kos- sutli. During the Invasion of the theaters by the students , who drove the actors and audi ences from the building , and as a result ol the conflicts which took place between the students and the police later when ihc former dispersed the audiences In the con cert halls , over twenty people vsere more or less seriously Injured. The police have made several arrests , but further trouble Is anticipated lotilght. As a matter of pre caution there Is a great display of mourning emblems today , as the citizens who do not make such an exhibition of respect to the memory of Kossuth are almost certain to have their windows smashed by the s'udents this evening. The students have announced their de termination to compel people of all classes to show respect to the memory of the gen eral , and opposition to the will of the stu dents bicked up as they are by crowds of sympathizers among the masses , Is II ibio to cause serious disorder. The police , In or der to avert further rioting , are advising people not to run the risk of Incurring the animosity of the students and people who are now stirred to a state of great excitement by the death of Kohsuth. YIELDED TO POPULAR CLAMOR. The government has so far yielded to the popular demand regarding the respect to be shown by It to the memory of Koksuth that It has caused to be hoisted upon the state buildings the national flag draped with crepe. Today persons began to congregate In crowds about the squares and other places during the afternoon Gathering together In strong bands , which were reinforced from the ranks of the disorderly element of the two cities , the students prepared to nnke further attacks upon the theaters , but the authorities from caily morning had been preparing for disturbances and the students found the theaters , conceit halls and other places of amusement , as well as public buildings , strongly guaided by police. In addition , detachments of Infantry and cavalry were kept under arms at the bar racks , and the students were notified that the authorities had determined to preserve the peace at any cost. It was against the criminal clement that the police mainly djrected their efforts , and a number of the most desperate of these who were found In citing people to violence were promptly ar- lested and will be detained In custody until the funeral excitement has entirely disap * " peared. DIFFICULT TO PRESERVE ORDER. In spite of the . .fact , that All tl.o police force of Buda Pes h and the neighborhood ! o' OH duty here today arid , though reinforce ments of police have been drafted here , from neighboring cities , the authorities find the greatest difficulty in preserving order. The officers in charge of the police were In structed to do everything possible to pre vent a violent outbreak , as it is fcarrd that any conflict will result In considerable blood shed. An enormous and exrlted ciovvd gathered In front of the Parliament house , which was strongly guarded by police. Led on by the excited students Iho people filled the air with shouts and threats in sisting that Parliament was not doing suffi cient to honor the memory of the dead patrlo * . Finally the ciowd made a rush toward the doors of the Parliament house and a sharp engagement with the police fol lowed , Tlie police , strongly reinforced , drove back the mob , but the excited people eemed determined to force an entrance In o the House of Parliament , for It icqulred a number of charges upon the part of the police before the crowd was kept within a reasonable distance of the doors. The police also had the greatest diffi culty In keeping n passageway through the crowd until the arrival of deputies , but when it was noticed that all thoi > o repre sentatives wore mouinlng , the people became - came better humored and heartily cheered the popular deputies who were recognized on their way to the entrance gates. Inside the Parliament house thuic was a largo attendance of deputies , and the public galleries were packed wlf.li people , either Iresspd In mourning or conspicuously wearIng - Ing mourning badges. When the president arose to address the house the most pro- round silence was observed throughout the chamber , AH the deputies arose from their scats and stood with bowed heads while the president announced the death ot Louis Kossuth. The president was most deeply affected whllo making his address - dross to the deputies and almost broke down when ho spoke of the patriot's death In a foreign land. Ho concluded by asking foi : ho unanimous adoption of the proposals made by Dr. Alexander Wpkerlo , piesldent of the council ot ministers , who at the con- 'crcnce of the liberal members of the llungailan diet last evening suggested that .he House express the nation's giatitmlo for : ho services rendered by Kossuth oivl that t also send a telegram extending sympathy to the family of the dead general. Dr. Wekerlc alfao suggested that a doputa- Jon of members of tlio lower liou.so bo sent ; o Turin to place a wreath upon Kobsiith's iler and that the house adjourn until the luneral. After the president had made this propo sition M. 4usth , leader of the Hungarian ndependents , warmly protested against the iroposals as being Inadequate , and length- ly extolled Kossilth's services EXTOLLED THE PATRIOT. After the president had made this propo sition M. JuRth , leader of the Hungarian in dependents , warmly protested against the > roposals as being Inadequate , and Inngthlly extolled Kobsuth's m.rvlces to Hungary and noved that the expense of his funeral bo ) erne by the state , that his services bo re corded In an act ot Paillament and that the nunlclpal authorities bo Instructed to close all the theaters until after the funeral 'Inally M. Jubth proposed a vote of thanks o the Italian government and to the miinlcl- ml authorities of Turin for the hospitality vhlcli they had extended to the patriot Count Apponjl moved that Ko suth's death to declared a national loss and that the ewer house of the Diet Itself pay the ex- icnscs of hlti funeral. Dr. Wekerlo , who arose to reply for the government , declaied that the latter could only accept the proposals which the presl- lent ot the House had made to the deputies The House then rejected the proposils made 0 M. Jimth and Count Apponyl and adopted ly a largo majority the proposals made by ho president ot thu House. Cavalry and Infantry patrolled the streets luring the day , but their piesence was not sutllclent to preserve order Shortly after lark crowds began to gather In ceitaln of he cafes and other pluc ° a of public resort Soon the crowds took the streets , vIHTO heir numbers were rapidly augmented , and > cgan u meeting In a ilotous mannei.

The soldiers and police had their hamU full and It looked after the llrst charge at though the tloteis would turn the tables , Again and again the crowd was charged , After the second charge they began to give way a little In the dlicctlon of the river , keeping up a tire of stones upon the troops and police. U was not until several charge : were made that the mob began to break up , The soldiers and police used their snvords unsparingly , and many rioters weiu so badly Injured that It was necessary to remove them to the hospital In the meantime rioting of a Uss danger ous character had taken place In other partfi of the city. At thcso points , however , the authorities had comparatively llttlo dlfll- culty In dispersing the mob. Older was not restored until about midnight. The Journalists' club tonight Issued a mani festo appealing to the public to abstain fiom making any further dcmoiihtratlons. During the night the authorities received information that the students and tholr sup porters Intended to cross the river to Utula for the purpose of hoisting a black Hag on the palace of the Mug of Hungiry. The royal palace stands but a short distance fiom two great bridges which span the Dan ube from Pesth. Doth appro iches to these bridges and the bridges proper were occu pied by strong forces of cavalry under orders to prevent any crowd from passing over. Measures wcro taken to prevent the mob from crossing the river In boats. Lite at night a crowd proceeded to the Kcttcn bridge- , the ono ncaiest the palace , but was turned back by the cavalry without much trouble. Some of the mob shouted : "Tho king should also mourn , " showing that it was tlio intention of the crowd to pioceed to the palace and hoibt a mouinlng emblem.

When the delegation of firemen of tlio Union I'aclilc system entered the confcr- oilco room nt hcadquaitcra yesterday It was irctty generally understood tlmt a crisis luul about been reached. Hut the eiul cnmo sooner thnn was anticipated. Chalrmnn Futile of the delegation pre sented his substitute schedule for the sched ule proposed by the company , which was read at length. Mr. Dlcklnecn on bchalC of Mr. Clark stated that the company could not accept the compromise schedule because It made but few changes In existing rules and regulations , evccpt that It was moro explicit thnn the old schedule. Ho ro- grcttcd , ho said , to be compelled to talio this position , but the schedule presented by the flromcn did not sa\u the company a single dollar , and In some cases cen raised the scale , should It bo adopted , Ho went over the financial standing of the company and told the men the necessities of the cor poration. _ Having recited In a low \\oida the condition of affairs ho declined to ac cept the schedule. Chairman 1'etrle , In re ply , stated that It was useless to attempt a compromise tinder thcso conditions , ami as the men could not afford to accept the schedule prepared by the company there was llttlo use to thresh over old straw , nml therefore , as chairman of the delegation , ho thought the conference ! might as well end , so far as the firemen worn concerned. Mr. Petrlo also stated that the delegation needed some llttlo time to prepare their case for submission to Judges Caldwell ami Sanborn and they might as well tulio up the few remaining da > s before the court con venes in conference with the general attor ney of the Hrothcrhood of Locomotive Fire men , T. W. Harper of Tcire Haute , Ind , who would repiQJent the firemen In court. Having given his decision the delegates filed -out of the conference room somewhat happy , If one could judge from the appear ances that the stialn was over for the tltno being. IN A NUTSHELL. Chairman 'I'atrlo ' was scon Immediately uftqr the adjournment of the conference and was asked the situation. Hd frankly stated that-so far as the firemen were concerned the conference was at an clid. "Of course wo are liable to bo called back , but ttty understanding is that the heating between our body and Mr. Clark IH over.Vo recog nized that something definite had to bo done. We could not accept the Echcdulo offered by the company , and to show pur position tcndeted the company a substitute schedule so-called , but really a series or rules and regulations. The scale of wages vvaa not oven touched upon. Mr. Dickinson , after" liearlng the schedule read , stated fiankly that the company could not accept our schedule. What was the tibo to go any futthcr ? Wo simply recognized the Inevitable - table and withdrew. " A number of the men admitted that Mr. Clark had been fair , but had not held out thd olive branch to any great extent. They deeply regretted the position In which they were placed , but after Uio-bccoml day saw the uselessness of proceeding further when neither side showed a willingness to conccdo any material point. And so the conference , which railroad men the country over had hoped would bo productive of an agreement satisfactory to all Interests , ends In smoke. Hoth sides have stood firm when material points came up for discussion , although thcro was a dis position to yield Immatoilal points which saved the company very llttlo. If anything. The lines ot battle will now bo formed for the contest , which , by the action of the mglnomcn and trainmen , Is transferred to the cot 11.

So far as the men are concerned the con- ercnco Is closed In all probability. Juct as The Heo predicted a couple of days ago , the nen do nut care to use up time that Is needed to prepare tholr case for the court In holding conferences that have been barren of results from the star and which piomlso nothing better In the future. As the flru- mcn stated this morning , the cnglnteis do not see any necessltj of again going over the same ground TRAINMEN AHn THUOUOH. Chief Clark of the trainmen , when asked If his organisation was also through , uald , "Mr. Clark knows my address and If ha wants us wo arc ready to go ahead and talk the matter over , " thus Indicating thai unless the company desired to continue the hearing the men were through The telegraplmrH completed the work ol rompatlng notes on the Kansas division yes terday and this ends I ho work so far an Mr. Korty Is concerned In addition to the icetlons of the rulca which nrn common to the engineers and firemen , there aio scvetal things brought up by the firemen which effect them alone , but nothing was done toward u settlement of them. One thing bi ought up for consid eration was the fact that the lltcmen at tlio end of each trip worn compelled to clean up all tlio hi ass and bright woiK on the engine , which required from ono In two hours each day TliIn work had to bo done after the onglno came Into the house and for thin they received no pay v.halevor The vvlpun * In the round liointi cleaned up everything below the running board , but above tlmt tlm work falls upon the flir-mcn They con tend thny should receive somu conipomiatlo for doing this.
