SAN FRANCISCO , March 23. ( 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.

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 ,

assassin was pursued from the scene by n
large crowd of people , among whom was n

The fugitive Jumped Into a wagon and

a blind alley and was forced to abandon the
vvapon , He Jumped over the fenceInlo a

There the ollh.ers located him , and though

WASHINGTON , March 23. 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. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

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. " '

BUDA PESTH , March 23. 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

HAD THEIR HANDS FULL.
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.

with Attorney Harper.
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.
What program the men will adopt before )
ho tribunal h not known , but It Is thought
the attorne > H for the various tiades will
get together now and map out a line of pro
cedure.
eight stenographers 1 ave been constantly
it work since the conference commenced
and hundreds of pages of testimony have
) cen the- result , which will undoubtedly
iavo to bo milled out before submission to
ho court.
So far as the men are concerned the con-
ercnco Is closed In all probability. Juct as
