The Ferald--Review, | MAS. MKINLEY ILL By E. ©. KILEY, AND RAPIDS, - ESOTA. Rev. Frank Gunsaulus of Chicago, has interested his congregation in mining and the church has invested in a mine in the Cripple Creek district, which will be operated for the bene- fit of the church. MI India and Ceylon have competed so successfully with China in the produc- tion of tea that, whereas in 1880 2,100,- 000 hundredweight of the leaf were ex- ported from China, only 1,631,000 hun- dredweight left the country in 1899. A Minneapolis man bought from a Russian in Halifax five years ago a curious rough stone of reddish hue. Acting on a recent hint, he sent the stone to Kansas City, and cutters de- veloped ten fine Siberian rubies worth $75 a carat. Public-spirited citizens at St. Louis have offered conditionally to free the site of the exposition if it can be se- cured for the use of the public library, in order that the city may avail itself of the $1,000,000 gift offered by An- drew Carnegi There is only one building at the Pan-American exposition in Buffalo designed in its entirety by a woman, and that one is the structure which will represent the states of New Eng- land. The woman whose brilliancy as an architect has gained for her this honor is Miss Josephine Wright Chap- man of Boston. The Atlantic pigeon post, which was suspended for the winter, will be re- sumed next month. Passengers on board Atlantic steamers can avail themselves of the birds to let their friends hear of the progress of the voyage or of their impending arrival. Of the hundreds of pigeons sent off at sea last year only two went astray. In passing upon the constitutionality of an act of the legislature limiting the height of buildings to seventy feet on lands adjacent to the new courthouse, the Supreme Court of Massachusetts held that the state, in the exercise of its police power, has not the right to impose such restrictions without pay- ing damages to the property owners af- fected. If Lieut, Elmsley, the young Canadi- an officer who was reported dangerous- ly wounded in South Africa some weeks ago, recovers, his restoration will be one of the record recoveries, since on his arrival at the hospital in Pretoria it was found a bullet had gone through his heart. Whether the diagnosis was wrong or his case is an- ether example of the humanness of the modern bullet remains to be seen. The fact that he lived at all is suffi- ciently remarkable. Succi, Tanner, and all other fasting men, would appear to be distanced by a young widower who lives in the Fau- bourg St. Antoine, Paris, This person lost his wife a few months since, and his grief took the form of a desire to Starve himself to death. He had, it is affirmed, been without food since De- cember 29, 1900. When found he was a mere heap of skin and bone. A neighbor poured some warm bouillon own his throat, and after awhile he Tévived and wrote on a piece of paper, “Being unable to survive my wife, I resolved to commit suicide by starving myself to death.” In his biography of Phillips Brooks, Alexander V. G. Allen of Cambridge tells of a clergyman who was going abroad and talked in jest of bringing back a new relation with him. “You might have some trouble in getting it through the custom house,” some one remarked. “No,” observed Bishop Brooks; “we may take it for granted that a new religion would have no du- ties attached.” Another person, for the sake, no doubt, of argument, once drew attention to the fact that some men, calling themselves atheists, seemed to lead moral lives, and Brooks promptly disposed of it. “They have to,” said he; “they have no God to forgive them if they don’t.” A horrible parricide was committed recently at Marseilles. M. Martin Jo- sime, cashier at a large firm, resolved te contract a second marriage. His on, aged 20, who had given his father @ great deal of trouble, asked to be present. M. Josime gladly consented, and presented him with a new suit of clothes for the occasion. Joseph Jo- sime angrily declared that they were not of good quality. The wedding par- ty were just starting to the church for the ceremony when the son said to his father that it would be more in keep- ing to take some flowers to the tomb of his dead mother. He then pulled out a revolver and exclaimed: “Take that. One bullet for you, and two for me afterwards.” M. Posime fell dead, and his son, who expressed gladness, ‘was arrested. Mr. F. Neville Wells writes from Linconia, Ajo, Buenos Ayres, about an extraordinary storm. He says: “At about 1:20 p. m. one could see a storm was approaching. In less than five minutes one could not see five yards, hailetones as big as pigeons’ eggs smashing panes of glass and the stones darting from one end of a room twelve feet long to the other. This lasted a quarter of an hour, and then the sun shone brilliantly and the dust com- meuced to blow again, the thermome- fe: an bour afterwards registering 80 @egrees in the shada” - CAUSES UNEXPECTED CHANGE IN PRESIDENT’S ITINERARY. Arrives in San Franciweo Several Hours Ahead of Schedule 'Time— Mrs. McKinley Taken to the Scott Residence Where She Can Have Complete Rest for a Few Days— President's Physician Says Mra, McKinley's Condition Is Not Seri- ous—Impression of Those Who Saw Her Is That She Is Very M11. San Francisco, May 14.—The sudden illness of Mrs. McKinley has caused an unexpected change in the itinerary of President McKinley. He arrived in this city quietly yesterday afternoon, several hours ahead of the time scheduled. The state of Mrs. McKin- ley’s health was such yesterday morn- ing that the president decided to leave Del Monte and bring his wife to this city immediately, to the home of Henry T. Scott, where she could have com- plete rest for a few days, and where a specialist could be consulted if neces- sary. A special of two cars and a loco- motive was made up from the presi- dent’s special and at 12:30 the presti- dent, Mrs. McKinley, Miss Barber, the president’s niece, Secretary Cortelyou and wife, Dr. Rixey and Mr. H. T. Scott and wife, left Del Monte for San Fran- cisco, leaving the remainder of the pres‘denttal party at Del Monte. Only a few hundred people greeted the pres- ident upon his arrival in this city. His coming was not generally known and only those who chanced to see the bul- letins posted by the newspapers an- nouncing that the president would reach the city at 4 p. m. awaited his train. The president, in order to avoid the crowd that was expected to as- semble at the Southern Pacific depot at Third and Townsend streets, left the train with his little party at Valencia street, a station in the southern part of the city. When the train, consisting of a baggage car and the president’s spe- cial coach, stopped at Valencia street, Mrs. McKinley was carried in a steam- er chair by two colored porters from the private car to a closed carriage in waiting. She was heavily veiled and the rresident and Dr. Rixy followed close behind. Mrs. McKinley was gent- ly placed in the carriage and the pres- ident and Dr. Rixey took seats in the Same vehicle. The president was * Quite Pale and Looked Serious. The rest of the part¥ followed in car- riages. Mr. and Mrs. Scott had ar- rived at their residence ahead of the president and were waiting to receive their distinguished guests. Mrs. Me- Kinley was again lifted out of the car- riage and placed in an invalid chair and carried into.the house. Secretary Cortelyou, when questioned concerning Mrs. McKinley’s condition, stated that there was nothing alarming in her present indisposition and that perfect quiet and rest for a few days would restore her to her usual health. It was the impression, however of those who saw Mrs. McKinley that she is j very ill and that her present state may result in an entire change of the presti- dent’s program. Should his wife's health improve, the president will carry out his intention to attend the celebra- tion at San Jose to-day. If, however, her condition is no better, the president will not leave his wife’s bedside, but will allow the cabinet officers and oth- ers of his party to represent him at jan Joge, At 6 o'clock last night Dr. made the following statement: Del Monte mitich better thah ¥ éxpect- ed. Her condition is not serious. She will stay here at least a week and have perfect rest. I think by that time she will be able to continue the journey. Sh: has been gaining strength all af- ternoon.” TROLLEY CAR RUNS AWAY, Over One Hundred Passengers Re- ceive Injuries. New York, May 14.—An apen trolley ear in which were packed about 115 persons got away from the motorman near Fort Lee, N. J., and dashed down Leonia Hiil. Every person on the car was bruised, three are seriously hurt, but only one is likely to die. Frank Sunstruck, the conductor, it is feared may lose his life on account of possi- ble internal injuries, and J. E, Robinson and his wife of ths city are the tw® others who were seriously hurt. The heavily loaded car had started down an incline a quarter of a mile in length when the motorman lost control. It was going so fast no one dared to jump. The road is a winding one. At the foot of the hill it curved sharply. When the front trucks hit the curve they started around it and made it. The rear ones followed part of the way. The wrench upon the car, however, as it swung around, was so great that the body was lifted and torn from the trucks and rolled over on the ground. The passen- gers were caught in under the car and piled up in a heap. CONSPIRACY CHARGED. Doctor Is Said to Hnve Wanted to Kill His Wife. Philadelphia, May 14. — Dr. Thomas Eldridge was arrested, charged with conspiracy to kill his wife. Several days ago the police were notified by Paul Schroeder, a private detective, that he had been employed by Dr. Eld- ridge to procure two letters from Eld- ridge’s wife, who had left him. ®ehroeder asserted that the doctor wanted him to inject morphine into Mrs. Eldridge, and if he was unable to secure the letters by that means El- ridge said he would furnish the de- tective with a stick of dynamite to blow up the house in which Mrs. Eldridge resided. PROVE THERE IS NO QUARREL. London, May 14.—The duke and duch- ess of Marlborough have taken an act- ive and conspicuous part in the Prim- rose league meetings this week, al- ways appearing together, as if to em- phasize that there was no truth in the recent stories of a serious misunder- standing between them. At the recep- tion which Mrs. Eischoffsheim gave to the league Thursday evening, among the prominent people grouped about the hostess were the duke and duchess of Marlborough. __ rs. McKinley stood the frip front] THE PANIC IS OVER. et Condition of Lassitude Prevails in Wall Street. New York, May 15.—The stock mar- ket made appreciable progress yester- day toward that condition of lassitude which usually follows such a violent convulsion as that of last week. This Was most notably shown in the volume of the dealings. The feverishness of the market and the wide extent of the fluctuations showed that sentiment was still much unsettled, but In this respect also there was not so wide a sweep of the pendulum. There was a pretty general upward movement at the opening which might be sufficiently accounted for by the feeling of great relief over the tiding of the stock ex- change settlement in London. As there was known to exist a large short in- terest in Northern Pacific in that mar- ket in addition to large declines in oth- er Americans since the last settlement there was much uneasiness lest heavy losses and failures would result. The news that a settlement with the shorts on Northern Pacific had been arranged which would allow them to cover at 140 was, therefore, an immense relief to sentiment in New York, which was in dread of a reflex action of renewed dis- order in the London market. After only a short time Union Pacific began to absorb pretty near all the buying demand and its buoyant flight of 113-4 points began to arouse ‘Obvious Uneasiness among stock operators. After last week's experience the first thought aroused by any such movement is that another corner is in process of forma- tion. The most conspicuous sharers of Union Pacific’s strength were St. Paul and Amalgamated Copper. The former rose five points and the latter seven. Meantime, some points of weakness which had been moderately developed early in the day began to grow and spread. When Union Pacific touched 1231-2 the buying demand for other stocks showed a notable decrease and was not sensibly revived for the rest of the day. The selling pressure was not severe as to volume when the reaction set in, but very wide concessions had te be made in order to effect sales of even small amounts of stocks. In Rock Island, which had advanced quite eagerly to 11-2 over Friday, there was a Crop of 37-8 on the sale of only 100 shares. There was similar weakness in other stocks, These wide declines, how- ever, dislodged very little stock, indi- eating the small new committments for speculative account on the long side. On the other hand prices were bid up with apparent ease when any effort was made to support the market. The money market was free from disturb- ance and large repayments of loans made in the crisis last week were re- ported to have been made. THE MARKETS.

WITHOUT WARNING ABOUT FIFTY PEOPLE HURLED TO A WATERY GRAVE. Steamer Paducah Strikes a Snag and Sinks in Less Than Five Min- utes—Two Passengers Drowned, the Remainder of the Dead Being Mostly Negru Members of the Crew—All the Officers Saved—The Steamer Ix Thought to Be a Total Loss—Divers Search for Dead. Grand Tower, Il, May 15. — The steamer City of Paducah sank in twen- ty-five feet of water at 9:50 o'clock Sunday night in less than five minutes after striking a snag while backing out from Brunkhorst landing. The bodies of two passengers who were drowned, have been recovered. It is estimated that between twenty-five and fifty peo- ple were drowned, among them twenty- five negro roustabouts. All of the of- ficers were saved. First Mate Tobias Royal of St. Louis says only about twelve passengers were on board, and all were saved except two. The body of Dr. J. W. Bell of Gell’s Landing, Tenn., was taken out of his stateroom. The remains of a young woman, on which was a visiting card reading “Mrs. Har- ry L. Allen, 3430 Eads avenue, St. Louis, Mo.,” was recovered from her state room. The possenger list has not been recovered. A diver is searching for it. Only the Texas and the hurri- eane deck are above water, which reaches to the skylights of the cabins. All the staterooms are completely Filled With Water. The steamer drifted a third of a mile below the landing before she sank. The first mate says the boat went down within three minutes after striking the snag. He was on the cabin deck and escaped by climbing through the sky- light. It is supposed that most of the missing deckhands, who were on the lower deck, were washed down the river. The boat lies down about 100 feet from the Illinois shore, the fore part of the hurricane deck being under water. She appears to be a total wreck. Between 11 and 12 o'clock Sunday night Miss Fannie Block, who, in com- pany with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Block, was going from St. Louis to Evansville, Ind., was aroused from sleep by a sudden jar. She asked her mother if her berth had broken and no sooner had the words passed her lips than water rushed into the apartments and they were compelled to act quickly to save their lives. With four others they escaped to the Illinois shore by holding to driftwood and swimming. Rev. Mr. Block is a Jewish rabbi. The seven survivors of the catastrophe made their way down the river bank to Grand Tower and were given lodg- ing at the Tremont hotel. They lost all their clothes and valuables and had nothing but blankets about them. IS MUCH REGRETTED. Mrs. MecKinley’s Iltness Interferes With Plan San Flancisco, May 15. — President McKinley returned late yesterday af- ternoon from San Jose to the bedside of his wife at the Scott residence, where he will remain until to-day. If Mrs. McKinley’s condition is still fa- vorable the president will carry out the arranged program with some curtail- ment. He will visit Leland Stanford, Jr., university at Palo Alto and make brief stops at San Mateo and Bur- lingame. At Palo Alto he will be joined by his entire party and the president’s official entry into this city will take place this afternoon in accordance with the previously arranged schedule. Sec- retary Cortelyou said to the Associated Press last night: “Mrs. McKinley rest- ed well and comfortably to-day.” Gorgeous Floral Display. San Jose, Cal., May 14.—Thousands of people between Del Monte and San Jose who had been anticipating a sight of the president for months, were dis- appointed yesterday. The president’s presence in San Jose for the hour yes- terday afternoon took the edge off the disappointment here, where the rose carnival was being held in his honor and where the floral display surpassed anything ever before seen in this part of the country. After leaving Del Monte yesterday morning the cabinet carried ‘out the itinerary as originally planned, stopping at Pajaro and Santa Cruz and visiting the big trees in the San Lo- renzo valley, but they had no heart to put into the festivities in the absence of their chief and the keen regret of the people was written on their counte- nances. Many expressions of kindly sympathy for Mrs. McKinley were heard at each stopping place. At Santa Cruz Secretary of State Hay was the representative of the president to ad- dress the assemblage in response to the welcome by the mayor. The president's presence here Barely Saved the Day. He ran down from San Francisco on his special car, arriving here just as the cabinet train pulled into the city from the couth. But he only remained for the formal ceremonies. At 3:30 o'clock, when they were concluded, he was driven back to the station and left immediately for San Francisco. At St. James Square, opposite the court house, a handsomely decorated stand had been erected, and here the formal exercises took place. Immediately in the rear of the stand was the big bou- quet of which so much had been heard. It was ninety feet in circumference and stood in its frame twenty-five feet high. The stem was a telegraph pole stuck in the ground. It was composed of cut flowers of every variety that blooms. Great preparations had been made along the route to receive the presi- dent and the disappointment at not seeing him was very keen. STEAMER BLOWN ASHORE. Two Women Passengers Drowned in Wreck of Hermes. Cape Town, May 15.—During a storm Sunday night the transport steamship Hermes, from Buenos Ayres, with a cargo of forage, was blown from her moorage in Table bay and went ashore on Blauwberg beach. The steamship arrived at Table bay on Sunday morn- ing. All the passengers and crew with the exception of two women, who were drowned, were saved by the rocket ap- Be WELCOME TO SAN FRANCISCO. President McKinley and Party Re- ceive an Enthusiastic Greeting. San Francisco, May 16, — President McKinley mage his official entry into this city, the objective point of his tour, late yesterday afternoon. After being formally welcomed by Mayor J. D. Phelan he was driven through the principal streets attended by a military and naval escort. Last night he at- tended a public reception in the large nave of the Market street ferry depot. Early yesterday morning President McKinley decided that owing to Mrs. McKinley’s illness he would not visit Stanford university as had been planned but would limit himself to the day’s exercises in this city. At 2:40 o'clock he left the Scott residence for the Valencia street station. Here he met the train bringing the members of the cabinet and remainder of his party who had fulfilled the program between San Jose and this city. Pres- ident McKinley was also met here by Mayor Phelan and formally received. The president, the members of his cabnet, Mayor Phelan and the recep- tion committee were then taken by special train to the Third and Town- send street depot, where the military and naval escort was waiting. Long before the hour set for the president’s arrival Third street from King to Har- rison, was a solid mass of humanity. The line of march was handsomely decorated with flags, bunting and ev- ergreens. At Van Ness avenue Presi- dent McKinley reviewed the procession, after which he repaired to the Scott residence for dinner. At 8 o'clock the president was driven to the ferry depot. In the large and handsomely illuminated nave of the building he recetved a vast crowd of people. Mayor Phelan delivered a brief address of welcome, to which President McKinley responder. Entering at one end of the nave, the pople passed down the hall to the southern end, where President. McKinley stood, surrounded by members of his cabinet and other prominent visitors. The president did not engage in handshaking, but gra- ciously bowed as the pople passed, each one saluting him with a small flag. Mrs. McKinley Improving. It was announced at the Scott resi- dence yesterday afternoon that Mrs. McKinley was a shade better than early in the day, feeling stronger and brighter than at any time since the beginning of her illness. She slept some during the morning and Dr. Rix- ey is well pleased with her progress. HILL SEEMS WORRIED. of Financial Giants Shifts Beck to Union Pacifie. New York, May 16.—It looks in Wall street as though the fight between the Harriman-Gould and Morgan-Hill in- terests had shifted back to Union Pa- cific, the buying of which stock is be- ing conducted on a huge scale. The best information is that the Harriman- Geuld side has won the first round by getting control of the Northern Pacific, and for the first time since the battle of financial giants began James J. Hill seems worried. Hill, in an excited man- ner, emphatically denied a street re- port that Morgan had cabled him to sue for peace and to make the best pos- sible terms. It is persistently rumored that Morgan will sail for the United States on Wednesday's steamer. Meantime a general fear fills Wall street. The battle for the Union Pa- cific looks so much like the disastrous Northern Pacific fight that the traders are holding off, awaiting a settlement by the warring interests. Fight D NINE-HOUR DAY. DEMA) Machinists and Allies Will Make ft Effective May 20. Washington, May 16.—At yesterday's conference of the representatives of the machinery and allied metal trades na- tional and international unions, at which President O'Connell of the In- ternational Association of Allied Metal Machinists; President Thomas of the Patternmakers’ league; President Lynch of the Metal Polishers, Buffers, Platers and Brass Worke Union of North America and President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, were present, it was decided that all workers in the machinery and allied metal trade should demand the nine- hour day, without reduction in pay, be- fore May 20, the same to go into effect on that date. The officers of the or- ganizations decided that the men in their respective trades would stand by each other in the enforcement of the demand, should it be necessary to cease work, BRIGANDS BROK. EN UP. Nand That Has Been Operating Nenr Manila. Mania, May 16.—Detectives and the police have broken up a band of Ameri- can brigands who have been operating in the province of Pampanga, north of and not far from Manila. George Ray- mond, Ulrich Rogers and Oscar Mush- miller have been captured and Andrew Martin, Peter Heise, George Murhm and two others are still being pursued. This band committed outrages, mur- dered and raped at Bacolor and in that vicinity, and Sunday last they killed Henry Dow, an American. The band sometimes represented themselves as American deserters and at others as ‘American soldiers. George Raymond wore the uniform of an American cap- tain. Raymond and Martin were form- erly police officers in Manila. FOR COMMISSARY FRAUDS. Sergeant Woodcock Senten Dismissal From the Army. Manila, May 16—The military court yesterday sentenced Commissary Ser- geant Woodcock to dismissal from the army and three years’ imprisonment. He was found guilty of having improp- erly disposed of government stores. Charged With Grand Larceny. Toronto, Ont., May 16—Thomas EF. Leland, until April, 1900, Chicago agent for the Colonial Insurance Company of New York, was arrested here last night on a charge of grand larceny. Extradition proceedings are set for to- day. ad to Kaiser Is Scarred. Paris, May 16.—Telegrams from Metz announce that the German emperor's complexion has taken on a peculiar hue which is quite noticeable. The wound on his face is ugly and shows @ purple scar. _ MILITIA ON GUARD RIOTOUS STRIKERS AT ALBANY TOO MUCH FOR POLICEMEN. Attempt Will Be Made to Ren Street Cars Under Protection of tie Naw tional Guard—Force of One ‘Thou sand on Duty —One Man Dying, Twenty Injured, Trolley Lines Cat and Cars Demolished t+ the joting-— Jum Total of the Day Police Powerless to Control the Thousands of Men Patroilinz the Streets. AYbany, N. Y., May 16.—A thousand national guardsmen and a hundred mounted men will occupy Albany's streets to-day and attempt to force a riotous crowd to let the cars of the United fraction company run with non- union men. The Twenty-third regi- ment of Brooklyn, the Tenth battalion of Albany and the Third signal corps will make up the complement of men. They will be reinforced by 2C0 special deputies, 500 policemen and over a hun- dred Pinkerton detectives. It is feared that the bloodshed and riotous scenes of yesterday will be repeated with much greater fatality. The results of the day are one mam dying, fully 20 or 30 injured, 80 mem out of 150 brought here by the company induced to desert, the trolley lines cut, ears demolished and the police almost powerless to control the thousands of men patrolling the streets. The company, however, insists that it will run its cars with protection, and it was said late last night that 500 new non-union men are in a train near the city waiting for the troops to make their entry safe. Bight men have been arrested for rioting, two only of whom were strikers. At midnight three com- panies of the Tenth battalion took their stations at three important points. FIGHT BL TRU: Chicago Capitalist’s Gut for Mors gan’s Scalp. Chicago, May 16—Three local capital< ists, it is said, taking advantage of the fact that the Morgan forces in the billion-dollar steel trust were somewhat crippled during the recent financial maelstrom that tore throu Wall street, have started out to fic the United States Steel corporation.
