San Francisco, April 6.—Officers of the Northwest Steamship company’s Pennsylvania, arriving here from New York, report that when ten days from this port the masthead and part of the deck planking of a wrecked steamer were sighted adrift. The Charles Nel- son company’s steamer Centennial is now twenty days overdue from Hako- { date, and shipping men say that the Isunken hull and masthead at sea may { belong to that vessel.

Greytown, Natal, April 6.—The colo- nial field force which was concentrat- ing at Impanza, twelve miles north- west of Greytown, for operations against the insurgent chief, Bambaata, the deposed regent of the Greytown district, has been compelled to aban- don its laager after heavy fighting and retire to,Greytown. A portlon of the force sent to fescue the women and children isolated at Keates Drift succeeded in so doing, but while returning was attacked by rebellious natives. A running fight was kept up for six miles, the Zulus continuing the pursuit until within a mile of Greytown. Three of the colo- nial police were killed and several were wounded. The remainder are safe at Greytown. The police report that the rebels are in strong numbers and flushed with victory and the officials fear fur- ther excesses. A strong fqree of artil- lery, infantry and mounted men is i moving out of Greytown to operate | against the rebels. A laager has been formed here and every preparation has been made to defend Greytown in case of attack. An assault on the town, however, is con. sidered unlikely to occur, the Zulus preferring to fight in the rugged coun l try outside.

LATER S PHYSICIANS DECLARE THERE IS ' ' NO SYMPTOMS OF PARAL- YSIS AS FEARED. H Berlin, April 6—Chancellor von Buelow, while attending the debate in the reichstag, fainted and was carried to a committee room by some of the members of the house. The chancellor made a speech on the subject of Morocco and was listening to the answer of Herr Bebel, the So- cialist leader, when he was taken ill, bexding over several times on his left side. Herr Carl Bacheman supported the chancellor and the vice president of the house, Dr. Count von Stolberg Wernigerode, called out, “Is Dr. Mug- dan there?” i The vice president then adjourned the sitting for a quarter of an hour, during which deep silence prevailed throughout the house. Dr. Mugdan COUNT VON BUELOW. a Beoker had {{lig menntimg gone to the"asslstance of the chancel lor, who had been removed: fiom-the chamber to the simngégvm Of'* the president of the house. He was.placed in an easy chair and soon.began to show signs of returning to conscious- ness. Rudolf -Renvers, head of the Moabite hospital, reached the room some time later and after examining the chancellor said that he was suf- fering from a severe fainting spell only, the result of influenza, and that there were no indications of paralysis, which was at first feared. Emperor William came to the door later, but was not permitted to enter, as the chancellor was sleeping. ‘Von Buelow’s breakdown was caused by overwork during the Moroccan conference. Owing to the difference in time the dispatches covering each day’s proceedings ‘arrived late and the chancellor often had to go to the palace at a late hour. He had been working from 8 in the morning to mid- night for three months past. MAY SETTLE DIFFERENCESE/’ Hungarian Opposition Is Negotiating With Premier. Budapest, Hungary, April 6.—The leaders of the coalition party had a conference during the morning under the presidency of Francis Kossuth. It is intimated that the prospects for peace are improving. Premier Fejervary, at his interview with M. Kossuth here, appears to have suggested summoning the lower house of the Hungarian parliament to dis cuss the electoral reform bill and the subsequent issue of writs for new elections under the proposed law pro- viding for universal suffrage. The scheme is said to have been approved by the emperor-king and a portion of the coalition party is probably agree- able to it. But it is understood that the followers of Count Andrassy, the former premier, and the clericals are opposed to the suggestion. WILL EXTEND HIS TQUR. Secretary Root to _C.rcumnavigate South America. ‘Washington, - April 6.— Secretary Root has decided to extend his trip to Rio de Janeiro, so as to circumnavi- gate South America and to visit Buenos Ayres, Montevideo, Santiago de Chile and Lima. The secretary would like to include the capitals of Colombia and Ecuador in his tour, but lack of time and the difficulty of reaching Bogota and La Paz from the scaports ~ will prevent him doing so. Mr. Root will be accompanicd by Mrs. Root and Miss Root and personal servants only, He expects to come up the west coast of South America to Panama and across the Isthmus; taking a steamer from Colon to New York. The trip will begin early in July and will end about Oct. 1. o 3 Acquitted of Murder Charge.

He says: “A revolution has broken out a;‘ Samana. ‘The Dubuque is there. American interests are not involved.” Mr. Joubert, the Dominican minister, called at the state department during the day to see Secretary Root, but had no information of his own re- specting this new-uprising. TUSKEGEE’S CELEBRATION. Secretary Taft and President Eliot of Harvard Among the Speakers. Tuskegee, Ala., April 6.—Owing to the delay in the Ogden special train the beginning of the exercises in con- nection with the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Tuske- gee normal and industrial institute was delayed until evening. Among the prominent men who came in on the Ogden train were Sec- retary of War William H. Taft, Robert C. Ogden, president of the board of trustees; Charles W. Eliot, president of Harvard university; Dr. Lyman W. Abbott and Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post. The party was greeted by 1,500 students and alumni and by members of the faculty and board of trustees. Principal Booker T. Washington de- livered an address of welcome. Mr. Ogden delivered a strong address on the significance of the celebration. President Ellot of Harvard spoke on “What Uplifts a Race and What Holds 1t Down.” Secretary Taft also delivered an address. SUICIDES BY SHONTING. New York Woman Kills Herself in Chicago Hotel, Chicago, April 6.—Mrs. Emo Bar- deleben of New York committed sui- cide by shooting herself in the head while in a room at the Palmer House. She and her husband had arrived at the hotel from New York in the fore- neon. Soon after the arrival of the couple at the hotel Bardeleben left, but the woman remained in her room. “A few minutes after noon a.shot was heard | and people who ran to thé rosm:found her lying dead on the floor. She had apparently died instantly. Later when Bardeleben returned he was informed of the suicide. He then sald that she was not his wife, but was the divorced wife of an electrical engineer in Providence, R. I. - He de- clined, however, to give her right name. MURDERER BREAKS JAIL. Had Just Been Sentenced to Life Imprisonment. Mantorville. Minn., April 6—John Burns, alias Frank McVey, who shot and killed Ole Havey, marshal at Hay- field, Minn., Dec. 30, 1905, broke jail at Mantorville during the morning and is still at large. Burns was sentenced to life im- prisonment late Wednesday by Judge Buckham, after pleading guilty to mur- der in the second degree. BALLOONIST CRAZED BY FEAR. Additional Facts Concerning Death of Paul Nocquet. = New York, April 6.—A coroner’s in- vestigation into the tragic death of Paul Nocquet, the young balloonist who perished in a Long Island salt marsh Tuesday night after he had safely landed from a perilous ascen- sion, will be made. To determine the exact cause of his death an autopsy will be held. It -is believed that Nocquet died from heart failure, following complete physical exhaustion and the mental anguish he must have felt when he believed he was being carried to sea by the big gas filled bag. The theory that he was- crazed by fear was strengthened by additional facts con- cerning his flight which were learned after the finding of his body. That his balloon became partly unmanageable perhaps several hours before he land- ed on the ocean beach appears from information which he shouted from his car: while passing over Garden City, L. I,/and which was heard by boys of that place. .The balloon passed over the city at a height of about 300 feet moving rapidly. That he was afterward carried out to sea appeared from the marks made on Jones beach by the car, which was plainly dragged, bumping here and therein the sand from the water's edge to a point some distance Tn shore. An examination of Nocquet’s foot- prints, when on leaving the balloon in the darkness he made his fatal mis- take in direction, shows that he ap- parently ran part of the time. Government -of Canal Zone. ‘Washington, April 6.—Senators Kit- tredge, Knox and Morgan have heen named. as a sub-committeé of the com 'mittee on interoceanic canals to pre- pare and report a bill for the govern- ment of the canal zone.

Declaration of Interstate Commerce Commissioner. ‘Washington, April 6.—The feature of the meeting of the National Asso- clation of Railway Commissioners dur- ing the day was the address of Inter- state Commerce Commissioner Judson C. Clements, who announced it as his opinion that “the public cannot rely upon the selfish interest of the car- riers to see that no injustice is done to any shipper, locality -or commod- ity.” By the admissions of the car- riers themselves, he said, this must be so. His remarks were called for by the report of the committee on rates and ratemaking, offered by Benjamin F. Chadbourne of Maine, its chairman. That committee among other things made the suggestion that it would be a good idea to bring into the delibera- tions of the association the knowledge of the trafiic managers. This proposi- tion, however, met with such opposi- tion that the convention declined to extend an invitation to such officers to attend the next meeting of the con- vention. Minister Commits Suicide. St. Paul, April 6.—Rev. Frederick H. Rowse, rector of Ascension Episcopal chureh, Isabel street -and Clinton ave- ; nue, West Side, fired a ballet into his brain at 1 o’clock p. m. His wife, who was in the house at 235 Prescott street, heard the report of the pistol, and going to the bedroom found the body of her husband on the floor, and a revolver beside it.

SPEAKER CANNON PRESIDES. Joint Caucus of Republicans of the Senate and House. ‘Washington, April 6.—The Republi- cans of the senate and the house of representativés met in joint caucus at the close of the session of the house during the day and selected members of the Republican congressional cam- palgn committee. Senator Allison called the caucus to order. In doing s0 he directed attention to the fact that ‘this was the first step in a cam- Dbaign which would doubtless prove in- teresting and the importance of which already is apparent. He nominated Speaker Cannon as presiding officer. He, too, spoke hrefly of the situation, indicating that the campaign already is being made and that the result in November will depend on legislation | now being enacted. He counseled | carefulness, a strict attention to busi- ness, economy and justness in appro- priations. The committee was then named. A meeting for organization will be called cither the last of this week or the first of next Among the members selected are: Iowa, A. F. Dawson; Michigan, J. 'W. Fordney; Minnesota, J. A. Tawney; Montana, - Dixon; Nebraska, J. J. McCarthy; New York, J. S. Sherman; Ghio, Nicholas Longworth; South Da- kota, C. H. Burke; ‘Wisconsin, J. H. | Davidson; Wyoming, F. W. Mondell.

Y., April 6.—The bills ' proposed by the joint special legisla- tive committee to meet the conditions disclosed in the recent investigation of life insurance are all special orders for the day in the senate committee of the whole. It is probable that the leaders will attempt to pass some of the bills then. The bill prohibiting campaign con- tributions by corporations was put over for the day because of sugges- tions that it would operate in ways not contemplated by the committee. The so-called “big bill”. generally amending the insurance law and con- taining most of the provisions that will cause extended debate and possi- bly opposition, was not taken up, not having been printed long enough. It will be placed on Monday night’s as- sembly calendar but may go over up- til Tuesday. Flurry in Call Money.

Therefore, we propose that subject to the approval of a convention of an- thracite mine workers, which shall be called at the earliest date possible, the ditferences between us as stated In our propositions and' your counter propositions be referred for determina- tion and settlement to a board of arbi- tration composed of the members of the present board of conciliation pro- vided for in the award of the anthra- cite coal strike commission, with Judge George Gray or any person he may ap- point to act as chairman and umpire. “‘The decision of this tribunal or the majority of members thereof, inso far as it influences wages, to be effec-. tive from April 1, 1906, and to con- tinue in force until March 31, 1908, such decision to be final and binding upon all parties in interest..
