N THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1895. "HANDS OFF" THE CRY Manitoba Refuses to Be Coerced by the Do- minion. THE PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS Canada’s Remedial Order Is Liable to Raise a Great Storm. GREENWAY MEN STUBBORN. If They Reject the Command It Will Be Equlvalent to Open Rebellion. ST. PATL, Mixx., March 26.—A Winni- peg (Manitoba) ial to the Pioneer Press says: The first step in the renewed fight over parochial schools in Manitoba began in the Legislature this afternoon when the full message was presented from the Dominion Government at Ottawa, or- derir g the Manitoba Legislature to give the Cathol their rights as they existed before the abolition of parochial schools in 1890. The reading of the Ottawa message occu- pied over an hour and, all verbiage re- moved, it amounts to the request as above stated. Mr. Martin, a French Catholic member of the Legislature, urged that the Legislature should take immediate action, Premier Greenway protested, saying the message should be printed, in order that all the members might know what they are dealing with. Here the matter rested and the discussion will now prob- ably not take place until Thursday. Mean- while the situation grows more compli- cated. The Catholics and their friends say that Greenway and his followers, if they reject the order from Ottawa, are rejecting an order signed by her Majesty the Queen, and such act would be equivalent to open rebellion. They say they cannot conceive how the Dominion Government could do otherwise than make the formal request they have made, as they were bound, so far as layin their power, to take imme- diate action upon the decision of the high- est court and see that the grievances of her Majesty’s subjects of the Roman Catholic faith in Manitoba received redress at the earliest possible moment. The Greenway Government contends on the other hand that the present school law is satisfactory to many Catholics if it were not for the agitation by the priests of the church. They say that if Manitoba is coerced into recreating a dual system, alism both in language and education will be extended to the Territories as well, and thus there would be perpetuated into the West the evils which have caused dis- satisfaction and stagnation in the province. Among the members of the Government side to-night it seems to be a matter of opinion that the remedial order will be posed of during the coming week, and without any great amount of speaking. Premier Greenway, when questioned on the matter, said the length of the discus- sion wovd depend upon the amount indi- vidual nfembers wanted to talk. Greenway denies that he will compromise the mat- ter by introducing a bill making the schools entirely secular. AT THE CANADIAN CAPITAL. Statesmen Sorely Puzzled Over Pacifying All the Factions. OTTAWA, Oxstario, March 26.—The news from Winnipeg that Premier Green- has declared that “the Governor-Gen- eral’s order would be rejected in its en- tirety,” while not unexpected, has caused great excitement in official circles, It is admitted that the situation is preg- nant with critical possibilities and that much depends upon the action of the Do- minion Government. Itis, of course, pos- sible that the Manitoba Legislature may shelve the question for a year, as the Fed- eral Parliament has no jurisdiction till the Government of the Province acts or refuses to act on the order. But this seems hardly likely to happen, judging from the reports of the feeling among the most of the people of Manitoba. Assuming then that the or- der in the Council of the Dominion Gov- ernment is ignored, what will be the steps taken by the Government to enforce its commands? This question may be deter- mined by the outcome of two bye elections, one in Quebec and the other in Ontario, which are shortly to be held. Vercherres, an old “Rouge” (Liberal) district ‘'of Quebec, is vacant. The Gov- ernment will bringon an election there, end if the Conservative candidate is re- tained the Government will be encour- aged to introduce a bill in Parliament at the coming session re-establishing the Cath- olic parochial-school system in Manitoba. The other vacancy is in Haldimand, which went Conservative by a small majority at the last election. Should the result here show, as is expected, large liberal gains, it will be evident that what the Government has gained in the French Catholic con- stituencies it has lost in the English and Protestant districts and the Government will have to choose between the two or en- deavor to appease both by some interme- diate course. The British North American act is in many ways an elastic affair, and it will be a difficult matter for the Dominion Gov- Mernment to decide that it has or that it has not the right to interfere in the educational legislation of the provinces. If it shounld decide to interfere, 1t is probable that such interference would make the present di- visions of Canada coincide with its great religious devotion, or would lead to a series of appealsto the courts, the end of which ean be scarcely foreseen. So far the action of the Government has resulted in stirring up a feeling in Ontario very hostile to itself, while in Quebec it has a directly contrary effect. None of the party organs in Ontario dare to commit themselves to any definite state- ment as to the course to be pursued toward Manitoba. The liberal papers, naturally, their party being in opposition, are de- lighted at the trouble and devote many columns to reports of all news bearing on the school question, while the Canadian organs, to give one example, yegterday gave only the bare announcement in four or five lines of the arrival of the order in the Council in Winnipeg. But th'e inde- pendent journals, without exceprion, cry out against any interference by the Domin- ‘ion in the school affairs of the province. Their cry is, “Hands off,” and there is no doubt as to that being the sentiment of the great majority of Protestants.

Sl AFTERMATH OF A BULL-FIGHT. 4 Judge Refuses to Accept an Editor's 5 Challenge for a Duel. MEXICO CITY, Mexico, March 26.— At Sunday’s bull-fight Julie de la Elizaldo. editor of the Correo Espanolo, became of- fended at the rulings of Jesus Contreras, one of the members of the City Council who was the presiding judge at the func- tion, and challenged him to a duel. Con- treras has made reply that it is impossible for him to seriously consider the challenge, as the offense is taken as the result of his official and not personal actions. The in- cident is one of the most interesting which has occurred since the re-establishment of duel-fighting in the Federal district, and is the first time a spectator has allowed his enthusiasm over the famous Spanish sport to run away with his reason in the direc- tion of the judge, who is considered by the rules of the game to be above crl his rulings.

STORMS O HOCHS, Kaiser William Marches to Freidrichsruhe With Troops. NOT FOR A CONQUEST, But to Pay Just Homage to the Venerable Prince Bismarck. PEESENTS A SWORD OF HONOR. Imposing Beginning of the Celebra- tlon of the Ex-Chancellor’s Birthday. FRIEDRICHSRUHE, GErMANY, March —Emperor William, at the head of a detachment of cavalry and infantry, with flags flying and bands playing, paid his respects to-day to Prince Bismarck, pre- sented him with a sword of honor in be- half of the army and congratulated him upon the eightieth anniversary of his birth. His Majesty was accompanied by the Crown Prince, Frederick William, General Bronsart von Schellendorf, the Minister of War, and the officers of his military household. The ceremonies attending the visit of the Emperor to the great Chancellor, though marred by showers of rain, were brilliant and imposing. The crowds roamed at will through the Sachenwald, and nearly a thousand persons gathered behind a low hedge on the railroad em- bankment opposite the castle, while others were grouped along the roadway to Aumehle, a villaze not far from Fried- richsruhe, and waited patiently in the drenching showers for the arrival of the Emperor. His Majesty and suite left Berlin on a special train at 8:30 o’clock this morning for Friedrichsruhe. He wore the uniform of the Guards du Corps. At Aumehle he left the train, mounted a horse, and, ac- companied by his suite, rode quickly to the spot - selected for the assembling ef the troops detailed to do honor to Prince Bis- marck. In the meanwhile the imperial train with the Crown Prince proceeded to Friedrichsruhe, and soon after the latter’s arrival there music in the distance an- nounced the approach of the cavalry headed by his Majesty. Drawn up ready for his inspection were a squadron of Ha- berstadt cuirassiers, of which regiment Prince Bismarck is an honorary colonel, the Seventy-sixth Regiment of infantry and a squadron of the Fifteenth Hussars, all with their regimental bands, and a bat- tery of the Holstein artillery regiment. With the Emperor at its head this force marched to an open space in Prince Bis- marck’s park, and upon arrival there the troops were deployed in parade order. The approach of his Majesty was the signal for a storm of *‘hochs,” which was taken up on all sides with great enthusiasm. The Crown Prince and hissuite, including Gen- eral Count von Waldersee, had in the meantime walked to the parade grounds, and as the Emperor appeared on one side Prince Bismarck’s carriage emerged upon the ground from the other side. The Prince wore the uniform of the Haberstadt Cuirassiers. When his Majesty caught sight of the Prince he spurred his horse forward and, sitting gracefully in his saddle, rode ata fast canter to the carriage of the veteran statesman and soldier and cordially shook hands with him. The Emperor then presented the Crown Prince and his suite to Prince Bismarck. Bismarck hurriedly descended from his carriage, shook hands with the young Prince and with the latter re-entered his carriage. Then, with the Emperor riding behind it and General Waldersee walking beside it, the carriage was driven down the line of soldiers; the officers saluted, the troops presenting arms and the bands playing patriotic airs as the Prince and Emperor passed. The Prince’s carriage was then driven to the middle of the parade ground, where Bismarck alighted. His Majesty took up a position in front of the troops, delivered an address of congratulation to the Prince and, in the name of the army, pre- sented him with a sword of honor of an- tique form, richly embossed and inlaid with gold. The Emperor, in presenting the sword of honor to Prince Bismarck, said: “Your Serene Highness: Our whole fatherland is preparing to celebrate your birthday. Thisday belongs to the army, which is firstly called upon to fete a com- rade, an old officer whose activity placed the army in a position to achieve the mighty deeds which found their reward in the resurrection of the fatherlana. The band of warriors here assembled is symbolic of the whole army, and -above all there is the regiment calling you chief and whose colors, dating from the time of the Elector and hallowed by the blood of Mars la Tour, are a monument to Brandenburg and Prussian fame. “Your Serene Highness sees in the spirit behind this band the whole army in battle array who celebrate the day with us. In the presence of this band, I come to hand you a gift. I could not find a better weapon than the sword, the noblest weapon of the Germans; symbol of that instrument which you and my blessed grandfather helped to forge, sharpen and wield, symbol of the great time during which power was blood. ‘“Iron is a remedy which never fails and which, in the hands of kings and princes, willin case of need preserve unity in the interior of the fatherland, even as when, applied outside the country, it led to inter- national union. You see engraved on the sword the arms of the Reichsland and your own. May you look upon this as a token of gratitude of deeds recorded in history which were brought to a conclusion twenty-five years ago. Let us, comrades, shout *Hurrah’ for his Serene Highness Prince Bismarck, Duke of Lauenburg.” Bismarck in reply said: ‘“Will your Majesty permit me to lay at your feet my humblest thanks? My military position toward your Majesty will not allow me to further express my feelings. I thank your Majesty.” Prince Bismarck, who was deeply moved, then reseated himself in his carriage and the Emperor ordered the troops to march past the Prince’s carriage. The ex-Chan- cellor returned the salutes of the troops with evident pleasuge. At the end of this ceremony Prince Bismarck thanked the Emperor for his courtesy and kissed the Emperor’s hand. After this the Prince re- turned to the castle, stood on the terrace from which he addressed. the delegations yesterday and the Emperor led the Cuir- assiers to the front of the castle and back ‘ again. After the review Prince Bismarck was joined by his sons, Count Herbert and Count William, and by Count and Count- ess Rantzau, Dr. Schweininger and others of the household who had witnessed the presentation. When his Majesty voted three cheers for Prince Bismarck at the conclusion it was responded to unani- mously by the troops and people. The Emperor then, amid renewed cheers, grasped Prince Bismarck’s hand. His Majesty afterward entered the schloss and lunched with Prince Bis- marck, taking this occasion to present his host with a seal from the writing-table of his grandfather, William I. During the luncheon the cuirassiers remained outside the castle, and the artillery remained as a guard; of honor on the parade grounds. From the spot where the Emperor had proposed the health of Brince Bismarck, the artillery fired a salute. Emperor William, in proposing Prince Bismarck’s health after the luncheon, re- ferred to the services which the latter had rendered to William I. Prince Bismarck replied, saying that since 1848 he had only done hisduty and nothing more. As for the recent events in the Reichstag, he added, he could only deplore the lack of national sentiment thereby displayed. The Empress of Germany commissioned the Crown Prince to present to Prince Bis- marck a beautiful basket of roses and a latter of congratulations. The Crown Prince handed the gift to Prince Bismarck with the simple words, “From mamma.”” Emperor William has appointed Prince Bismarck's physician to be his private medical counselor, and has conferred upon Dr. Creysander, Bismarck’s secretary, the Order of the Crown. The railroad station, postoffice and all public places in Friedrichsruhe and neigh- borhood were decorated with flags to-day in honor of the Emperor’s visit and the occa- sion. The imperial train started from here on its return to Berlin at 3:27 p. M. The Em- peror was escorted to his saloon carriage by General Count von Waldersee. Before he departed he had an earnest conversation with Dr. Schweininger from the window. At the last moment Prince Bismarck ap- peared on the platform in order to take final leave of the Emperor,and cheers were raised and continued long after the Prince re-entered the castle. L1 HUNG: CAANG MUST D THE REPORT MADE BY A GERMAN EXPERT SENT BY THE MIKADO. FRoM ANOTHER SOURCE, HOWEVER, CoMEs A REPORT THAT THE EnNvoy Is IMPROVING. NEW YORK, N. Y., March 26. — A special to the Press from Washington says: In a private cablegram from Tokio, re- ceived by a member of the Japanese lega- tion here, is news of world-wide interest. According to this dispatch, which comes from the highest officials in Japan, a German physician, who 1is president of the University of Tokio, an expert of high standing, was sent yesterday, at the personal request of the Mikado, to examine Li Hung Chang’s wounds. After a thor- ough examination of his distinguished patient the physician reported confiden- tially to the Mikado that Li Hung Chang must die. The wound is in the face, and the bullet, which the surgeon had not succeeded in extracting, is apparently beyvond reach. Moreover, Li Hung Chang is 70 years of age, and, although a giant physically, his years are against him. The dispatch which conveys this information is a private and confidential one, but its trustworthiness is not doubted by its recipient. SHIMONOSEKI, Japax, March 26.—Li Hung Chang’s condition is favorable. Itis reported that he has now consented to the extraction of the bullet in his face. His only fear was a lack of cleanliness on the part of his physicians in usingold instru- ments. ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, March 26.— It is stated on good authority that in addition to the indemnity which will be guaranteed by the provisional occupa- tion of the Chinese territory already oc- cupied by the Japanese Li Hung Chang is authorized to cede to Japan the Loo Choo Islands, which lie to the south of Japan, the Majiro Sima group, to the eastward of Formosa, the islands of Batan and Babuyan, which lie to the northward of the Philippines, and the island of For- mosa. Instructions have been given to Li Hung Chang ordering him to oppose any demand for the cession of territory in the Liao Tong Peninsula. As a last resort he may suggest the conversion of the penin- sula into a buffer state between Korea and China on condition that it be placed under the protection of Russia, France and Eng- land. WILL WORK FOR THE STATE. That Is What the Manufacturers’ Asso- g ciation Means to Do. There is a good deal of what is known as ‘“‘ginger” in the Manufacturers’ Associa- tion which has been put into active fer- ment by the recent meeting. The associa- tion is anxious to be recognized and is be- ing recognized as a State affair. The following officers have been elected by the association for the enswuing year, and they are already preparing for an active campaign: President, H. T. Scott; vice-presidents—Louis Saroni, W. F. Bow- ers and J. Mills Davies; treasurer, Andrea Sbarboro; secretary, Lewis R. Mead; ex- ecutive committee—R. S. Moore, James Sproule, Julian Sonntag, M. McGlynn and Louis Saroni. The membership of the association is rngidly increasing, both in this city and in other parts of the State. Secretary Mead has been authorized to employ an assistant secretary. e $300 on _hand has been turned over to Treasurer Sbarboro, and will be devoted to paying for the printing of the proceed- ings of the late convention. § soon as the finances of the association are in proper shape, a permanent office will be opened, and a competent man will be employed to visit the various cities of the State fo present the advantages and de- sirability of co-operation and united effort for the general good, as the membership cannot be augmented too rapidly, J. M. Davies of Los Angeles, who was present at the meeting of the board, spoke very carnestly in advocacy of widening the scope of the association and removing the notion at the extremities of the State that the association is a local one. He said that Los Angeles was heartily with the association in spirit, feeling the need of co-operation with any body organized for purposes of push and progress. He felt that the Manufacturers’ Association would do great things for the State. The next meeting will be held on Friday at the Chamber of Commerce and the executive committee will at that time make a full report, with recommendations for immediate action.

BRUTALITY AND IGNORANCE. One of the Most Shocking Crimes In the Annals of Irish History. WATERFORD, Ireranp, March 20.—A most extraordinary case of murder arising from superstition was inquired into to-day by the Special Court of Clonmel, twenty- five miles from here. Ten persons were arraigned before the court charged with murdering a Mrs. Clearyt The prisoners included the murdered woman’s husband and father; and the evidence showed that she was suffering from nervousness and bronchitis, and her husband, believing her to be bewitched, obtained a concoction from a herbist of the neighboorhood. While the other prisoners held the un- fortunate woman in bed he forced the concoction down her throat. After this the suffering ‘woman was held over a fire aud dreadfully burned until she declared that she was not Cleary’s wife. This torture was repeated on the follow- ing day, after which he knocked her down stripped off her clothing, poured parafiine over her body, then lighted it and the woman burned to death in the preseénce of six male and two female relatives. Cleary declared that he was not burning his wife, but that he was burning a witch, and that she would disappear up the chim- ney. The husband collected the charred remains and buried them. The prisoners, who were remanded, narrowly escaped lynching and had to be removed to jail under the escort of a strong force of con- stables. THEY WANT MORE MONEY. WHOLESALE DEALERS ADVANCE THE PRICE OF WELLINGTON COAL. CoNSUMERsS MusT BEAR THE BUR- DEN—OTHER CoAL May BE AFFECTED. A few days ago all the dealers in coal in this city received a card on which was printed: TO THE TRADE. Take notice that on and after Monday, March 25, the price of cleaned Wellington coal will be $8 per ton. R. DUNSMUIR & SONS. 2240 pounds. i The notice means. that the price of coal to dealers,which Dunsmuir & Sons reduced 50 cents last September, had been restored. “There is no combination to raise the price of coal,” said John Rosenfeld of John Rosenfeld's Sons, one of the largest handlers of Wellington coal. *“It is simply this: Dunsmuir & Sons sent us notice of their desire to increase the price and we said ‘all right’; it simply restores the price to what it was before that firm lowered it. As a consequence retailers now charge their cnstomers half a dollar more a ton for coal delivered."” At the office of Dunsmuir & Sons, in the absence of the representatives of that firm, it was stated that the reason for the ad- vance was there was no profit in the busi- ness at prices before the raise, but that there was no combination to affect prices beyond the Wellington coal. : At the office of Macdonough & Co. it was said that this was a result against a cut- throat policy some dealers had "adopted in regard to coal. They had cut prices down so low that there was no money in it, and now they had come to their senses and put the price at living rates. As yet none of the other coal had been affected, but no doubt there will be a slight increase in that. Charles R. Allen, a wholesale dealer, in explaining the situation gave some inter- esting facts about the coal trade. He sai “Senseless competition by both whol salers and retailers brought down the busi- ness to such a state that there was actu- ally nothing init; the wholesalers could not make collections from the retailers, who showed that they could not get money from their customers, and the result was that every now and then the whclesalers were forced to hold an inquest on some re- tailer. Some turned in lists of debts amounting to $500 which were not worth So the wholesalers to protect them- selves fixed the price so as to give the re- tailers 50 cents more margin on a ton. ““The retailers buy a long ton (2240 pounds) for §8 and sell it for $10, which gzives an apparent profit of $2, but there is this to be taken into account. The re- tailer has to pay an average of 50 cents cartage to his yard on every ton, 25 cents for screening and sacking—and the screen. ings are a dead loss to him. Then it costs him on an average $1 a ton to deliver it to customers—that makes $9 75. But while he buys a long ton, he sells it by the short ton (2000 pounds), and if he sells at $10 he has 25 cents and 240 pounds of coal with which to pay rent ana living expenses. Some of the dealers have been selling coal almost as cheap as the wholesalers, and it is no wonder they had to go under. “Some dealers sell by the ton to in- dividuals who have to dpay for cartage and for sacking if desired, as the teamsters dumpitin bulk on the sidewalk. The charge for final deposit is a matter between teamster and purchaser.” BRO. ALEXANDER BURIED. IMPOSING FUNERAL OF THE LATE PRESIDENT OF SACRED HEART COLLEGE. \ A LARGE AND REPRESENTATIVE ASSEMBLAGE OF SINCERE MOURNERS. All that was mortal of the Rev. Brother Alexander, late president of Sacred Heart College in this city, was laid to rest yester- day in the Brothers’ plat at Calvary Cem- etery. . Artythe age of 19 years John Robert Mec- Carthy, known in religion as Brother Alex- ander, found that he had a vocation for poverty, chastity, obedience and teaching the young. So he entered the novitiate in Oakland and step by step after nearly twenty-five years’ work found himself at the head of the college on Eddy and Larkin streets. When he could have rested he lpgnevered in class work, and this, com- bined with the great responsibility of his directorship, brought on heart failure. He had been ailing for some months, but his will-power kept him at his post. On Saturday he conducted the night services in the chapel. At 6 o’clock on Sunday morning he complained to the sub-direc- tor that he was ill, and at 9:30 he was dead. The funeral yesterday was probably one of the largest ever seen in_this city. Hacks stretched on both sides of Van Ness avenue two blocks each side of St. Mary’s Cathedral. The funeral procession was headed by a stalwart delegation of St. Mary’s College students. After that came the sad and bereaved boys of the Sacred Heart, going with their teacher to his grave. A solemn requiem mass was celebrated at St. Mary’s Cathedral, with Rev. Father Byrne celebrant, Rev. Father Cottle deacon and Rev. Father Coyle sub- deacon. Rev. Father Mulligan was master of ceremol and it was noted that all four priests are old St. Mary’s boys and were educated by the Christian_Brothers. The cathedral on the floor and in the gal- leries was crowded to the doors, attesting the affection in which Brother Alexander was held. The mass was sung through- out by male voices. A sermon was preached by Rev. Father Q’Neile, who, in extolling the life of the deceased brother, urged young men present to give their lives to God. The remains were laid to rest in the Brothers’ plat at Calvary Cemetery, fol- lowed by hosts of suffering and sorrowing friends.” The pall-bearers were the Rev. Bros. Vidonus, Florinus, Lascian, Xeno- h(f)n,]Albion, Andrew and Michael of San afael. The successor of the late Brother Alex- ander has'not yet been decided upon. Brother Hosea,formerly vice-president,isat present acting as president. The appoint- ment is vested in Brother Bettelin, supe- rior of the order on this coast, and he will not make his selection immediately. HATHWELL_IS_MSCHARGE]] POLICE SATISFIED HE HAD NOTH- ING TO Do WITH THE BLAKE SHOOTING. CAPTrAIN LEEs ANxIous To Know THE LADY WHO SAW THE SHOT FIRED. . One of the three men arrested on sus- picion of being implicated in the shooting of Walter P. Blake of the Stockton Inde- pendent, on Sunday night, was released from custody yesterday by Captain Lees. He was Jackson A. Hathwell, sometimes known as Jackson Hall, the printer. The captain after carefully investigating his story was satisfied that he had nothing whatever to do with the crime. Hathwell was not knocked down in the alley where Blake was shot but on Annie street, a con- siderable distance from it. He was robbed of $3 while on the ground, showing that the motive of the man who knocked him down was robbery. The captain thinks that Hathwell's hat was picked up by some one of the many hoodlums who fre- quent that locality. ' The other two young men, William Ziegler and John Mullin, are being held and suspicion points strongly to Ziegler as the man who fired the shot at Blake. ‘When he was taken before Blake, the latter said that he resembled his assailant in height, build and complexion. But Blake said the same of Mullin; the only difference between him and the robber was in their hair, the former’s being shorter. The hat that was found was tried on Ziegler yesterday in the prison and it fitted him perfectly, which 1s another point against him. Ziegler was released from the City Pri- son on Sunday morning at 11 o’clock, after serving a sentence of twenty-four hours for drunkenness. He made a statement yesterday that after his release he hunted up Mullin and they went on a drunk to- gether. Tnily got to Ziegler’s room in the St. David’s House at 4 o’clock in the after- noon and went to sleep. They were awak- ened by the police about 1 o’clock Mon- day morning and were taken to the Grand Hotel and then to the prison. Detective Byram last night stated that as far as he had been able to investigate he had established the truth of Ziegler’s story. Ziegler isa brother of the famous bicy- clist, Otto Ziegler, and the police know nothing against him hitherto. Mullin has the reputation of being addicted to drink, but nothing worse is known against him. Captain es is very anxious to ascer- tain who the lady and gentleman were who were close to Blake when he was shot. When the lady heard the shot and saw Blake stagger she screamed three or four times from fright. In the excitement no one thought of askine their names. The captain believes that she would be able to give a correct description of the man they want. One of the hackmen said he heard them talking in German. The captain says that if she would call upon him and did not wish her name made public her wish would be respected. There is another man the captain would like to hear from. He helped Dalton to lead Blake to his room in the hotel after he was shot. No one procured his name or address. I think,” said the captain yesterday. ‘“that Dalton either knows too much or too little. At present'I cannot decide which. I have personally made inquiries about him and find that he is a good boy. His mother, I understand, has been talking to him and adyising him not to get mixef u{) in the case, but we may yet get him to tell exactly what he knows.” Blake, according to a midnight report, was resting easily, and the physician in gm:ndance said he was feeling yery much etter. — e The Yale crew has been vaccinated and it will probably pull through.

TILLAMOOK BAY — Salled Mar 26 — Stmr Truckee, for San Francisct FIVE DAYS MORE, After April 1 the $25 Rate for.Curing Rupture Will Be Withdrawn. In announcing & rate of $25 for a radical cure of Rupture, Dr. C. Z. Ellis intended that it should be for & limited time only, atd pro- posed withdrawing the rate on March 1. Since that date Dr. Ellis has had many inquiries from persons suffering from Rupture, who state that it was not possible for them to take advantage of the low rate before its with- drawal and requesting an extension of the time. Dr. Ellis does not want to show any favoritism in extending the time, but to allow all an equal opportunity will continue the $25 rate until April 1. It must be distinctly under- stood, however, that it will positively be dis- continued on and aiter that date. $25 FOR A CURE. Names of patients cured will be far- nished on application. C. Z. ELLIS.
