THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 7, 1895. INWILLIAM'S DOMAIN Mystery of the Illness of the Empress Explained. A ROW OVER SOCIALISM. Fierce Feud Between a Burgo- master and a Federal President. VON GERLACH SNOWED UNDER. So Confident of Election Was He That He Went to Klel as a Member of Reichstag. ~v, July 6.—Despite the ading the illness of the : at Kiel and the various statements which were issued , attributi er indisposi- i that and other cause, »d that the real cause of her 1ent s BERLIN, G mystery R it has trans! the exertion of ent of the fetes. i Aapre in good health, rap- overed from the effects of her mis- mperor was assured of her 1o health before leav- k where nhe arrived to- her to Potsdam the s enjoyed good health and has to take her usual daily exercise trav s arising from the battle rnment is waging against m are occupying public attention. e recent bye-election in Goslin, Herr ach (Conservative) headed the 2500 votes over his nearest oppo- \e Radical candidate, yet a re-ballot necessary to an absolute election. ch was so certain of being e attended the Kiel festivi- in the capacity of a member of the hstag. In the meantime the anti- nbined with the Socialists and in opposition to Gerlach, and m in the re-ballot, returning in his stead. The other is that of the fierce feud has now arisen between the ter of Kolberg and the Govern- President of his district. The Bur- r permitted a meeting of socialists 1d in the rooms of the corporation, pon the President of the district d an explanation of his conduct rgomaster defiantly maintained his permit any meeting in the corpor- he saw fit, and declared s of Kolberg were honest v other respect good citizens. In addition to this reply to the President the Burgomaster boldly asserted that *‘per- S who would not sit where socialists t ran a great risk of finding no resting place in Germany.” He did not for one moment, he ‘said, re- pent of what he had done, and would un- hesitatingly do the same thing again. The /Prasiden® made a violent response to the Burgomaster and charged him with gross violation of duty in willingly furthering the catise of a party which was assailing the social order of the monarchy and at- tacking Christianity. The President in- formed the Burgomaster that he therefore fined him the sum of 90 marks. The mu- nicipal authorities of Kolberg backed up | the Burgomaster, and as a mark of their indorsement of him and his acts presented him with an address expressing their ap- vroval of his attitude. The publication of the correspondence which passed between the President and the Burgomaster has led to a vehement discussion of the affair in the newspapers. Simultaneously a social flutter has been created by the action of the Emperor in sending a court marshal to Dr. Brahm, manager of the Deutsch Theater, with an order directing that the imperial subscrip- tions be taken off the list of the theater. A police officer accompanied the marshal, who directed that the imperial arms be removed from the emperial box. The marshal insisted upon seeing this done re he took hisdeparture. Dr. Brahm’s e consisted in his permitting the to become the scene of a demonstration upon the occasion he performance there of Hauptmann’s “Wav It is certainly true that the s held levees nightly in the lobbies of the theater and vociferously acclaimed ain passages in the play, but Dr. Brahm pleaded that he could not prevent such demonstrations. He appealed to the Emperor’s appreciation of the literary value of Hauptmann’s work, but in vain. Dr. Brahm is personally tainted as being among the leaders of the young German school of literature and in sympathy with socialism, and in these circumstances there is no chance of his receiving the Emperor’s pardon. The Unterhaus of the Prussian Diet has ed an agrarian proposal, by the provis- of which the Prussian land-owners are to obtain reimbursement for the sums vaid by them into the treasury under the land- taxreforms of 1893. The bill originated in the per house, and its effect will be chiefly to benefit the land-owners,to whom the state must now refund the aggregation of 16,- 000 marks. Dr. Miquel, Prussian Min- ister of Finance, gave a half-hearted op- position to the measure, which he justly denounced as an instance of junker ra- pacity. The anarchist leaders have decided to publish an organ, entitled Die Freihéit, the first issue of which will appear on July 15. The police are awaiting the appearance of the paper in the hope that it will contain something that may be construed into a pretext for its seizure. The railway station at Dortmund was de- stroyed ‘by .fire last’ night and two men were killed by the falling of its walls. The Vorwaerts (Socialist organ)in an ar- ticle commenting upon the opening of the elcctrical college in Munich yesterday, de- votes considerable space to a discussion of the various applications of electricity, The paper is especially opposed to the use of electricity as an agent in the execution of criminals, and denounces the execution of Dr. Buchanan at Sing Sing as a horrible instance of barbarity. The Tageblatt has an article on the same subject, in which it says thatif such anap- plication of electricity were made upen dogs and cats every society for the preven- tion of cruelty in the world would make an outery against it and the police would interfere without hesitation. “The Ameri- cans,” the Tageblatt says, ‘‘seem to desire to increase the Morror of capital punish- ment from terroristic motives.” The Tageblatt, calling attention to the fact that Kneebs, the American horse- owner, has failed to answer his bail to stand trial for fraud in having raced the trotting mare, Bethel, under the name of “Nellie Kneebs,” says that Kneebs has been expelled from all of the American courses. Considerable surprise has been caused here by a story printed in the Chicago papers of the marriage of Miss Rose Mar- ston, an heiress of that city, to a German of enormous wealth styled “Baron Ru- dolph Schutzebar-Milchling,” owning the estate of Hohenhaus, near Berlin. The story ef the marriage may beytrue, but if it is true the bridegroom is a fraud. There is no German nobleman of that name, nor is there any estate called Hohenhaus, near Berlin. The Fourth of July was celebrated here by fifty Americans, who dined together in the Central Hotel. Mrs. William Walter Phelps, widow of the former United States Minister to Germany, entertained the per- sonnel of the United States embassy,.her son-in-law, Count Rottenberg, and other prominent persons at dinner on the Fourth at the Bristol Hotel. Mrs, John Symmes gave an “at home” at her residence,which was crowded with Americans resident in Berlin. The United States embassy, the American consulate and the American shipping offices were covered with the United States flags, but there was no pub- lic or united celebration of the day. BRAZILIAN CONSPIRATORS. Rumors of a Plot to Overthrow the Government. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 6.—The Her- ald’s correspondent at Rio de Janeiro tele- graphs that alarming reports have been circulated in Rio during the last two days of a conspiracy on the part of the chiefs of the army and navy to overthrow the Gov- ernment and form a Junta or Provisional Government, with General Guadeos as War Minister and Admiral Goncalves Minister of Marine. T Fierce Riot at Kuttywar, LONDON, Exc., July 6.—The India Office is in receipt of a telegram from Bombay stating that a terrific riot has oc- curred at Kuttywar, in the province of Guzerat, resulting in the killing of three persons and wounding of 184, twelve of them seriously. The riot grew out of the clashing of a Hindoo procession and a Mo- hammedan Mohurrun procession. NEGROES WELL TREATED No Foundation for the Stories of Great Brutality in Mexico. Colonists Imported From Alabama and Georgia Are Working Faithfully. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.—The State Department is in receipt of a dis- patch from Jesse W. Sparks, Consul at Piedras Negras, on the colony of negroes brought from Alabama and Georgia last February to Tlahuatila, Mexico. It appears that W. H. Ellis, a colored man under contract with the owners of a large tract of land near Tlahuatila, im- ported the negroes to farm the lands. Some of them have since made their way to Piedras Negras and complain of bad treatment, Reports have appeared in American newspapers that some of the colonists from the farm were pursued and thirty-two were shot down, while the survivors were captured and taken back to the colony and subjected to harsh treatment. The Consul’s investigation has shown this story to be almost wholly without foundation. Forty of the colonists did leave the colony. Twenty of them re- turned in safety. Twenty-one men and women who insisted on going ahead have not been traced, but some of them have reached the United States and it is prob- able they spread reports of the death of those who returned to the colony. Charles Paul Mackie, an American who investigated the affair, corroborates this statement and declares that the colonists are receiving good treatment. e e DEATH OF A VETERAN., Close of the Career of Lieutenant-Colonel Henlon. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.—A tele- gram was received at the War Department to-day from Fort Ringgold, Tex., announc- ing the death there of Lieutenant-Colonel James Henlon of the Third Infantry. Hen- lon was born in England and was ap- pointed & second lientenant from the army in 1861, having served from 1853 up to this time as a private. In 1865 he was breveted to a captain for gallant services in the battle of Gettysburgz, Pa. The death of Henlon promotes Major J. W. French of the Fourteenth Infantry to a colonel; Captain J. C. Robey, Twenty- fifth Infantry, to a major; First Lieuten- ant E. F. Gleen, Twenty-fifth Infantry, to a captain, and Second Lieutenants P. C. Harris (Thirteenth Infantry), Monroe Mc- Farland (Twenty-first Infantry) and W. L. Wilder (Nineteenth Infantry) to first lieu- tenants. These three last promotions were caused by the retirement of Captain W. M. Waterbury, Thirteenth Infantry, who was promoted to a major by Colonel Henlon’s death, and Lieutenant E. L. Fletcher, Thirteenth Infantry, who became a captain on the same occasion. S sorsa s CONTESTED LAND CASES. Secretary Smith Decides in Favor of Missouri. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.—In the case of Minnesota, which appealed against the action of the Land Office in canceling certain school indemnity lands, Secretary Hoke Smith to-day decided that if the State will give a quitclaim deed for the lanas erroneously patented, it may have thirty days to select an equal amount of land from other entries held for cancella- tion. He has suntained the title of James B. Jones to lands in _Oklahoma Territory which were contested by persons claiming that he was a “sooner.” Jones, previous to the opening of the Territory to settle- ment, lived on the border and crossed it frequently for provisions, During these trips he seiected a tract and raced for it on horseback on the opening day. The Secre- tary of the Interior refuses to place the strictest construction of the law upon his case and allows him the lands. s Value of Wool Increased. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6.—Assist- ant Secretary Hamlin of the Treasury De- partment has received a letter from S. N. D. North, secretary of the National Asso- ciation of Wool Manufacturers of the United States, dated at Boston, Mass., stating that a remarkable increase in the value of foreign wools has occurred in the past few months and calling attention to the fact that unless appraisers exercise great care and judgment in appraising im- ported foreign wools a great hardship in consequence will be suffered by domes- tic manufacturers of wool products in_the United States. 2 Decrease of the Gold, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 6. —The treacury gold reserve to-day decreased $158,807, standing at the close of business at $107,401,401. -The loss, it is stated, was by heavy gold payments on Government account at San Francisco. TRAGEDY AT PARAISD. Ex-Governor Stevenson of Idaho Commits Suicide. CRAZED BY AN ILLNESS. The Invalid Becomes Des- pondent Because of His Slow Recovery. TAKES A DOSE OF LAUDANUM. He Is Unconsclous When Found, artd Dies Without Regaining His Senses. SAN LUIS OBISPO, CaL., July 6.—A pall of gloom has been cast upon Paraiso Springs, the pretty summer resort near this city, by the suicide of ex-Governor E. A. Stevenson of Idaho. The tragedy was enacted early this morning, and the un- fortunate man was found in an uncon- scious condition at5 o’clock. He lingered until 5 o’clock this afternoon. Ex-Governor Stevenson arrived at Paraiso Springs on June 5, accompanied by a servant. He was afflicted with sciatica, and was in a helpless condition, but had been gradually improving, and during the past few days was able to walk about some. His physicians were confident that he would in time fully recover his health. During the past three days the ex-Gov- ernor had been very despendent, and remained in his room. Last night his nurse left him at 10 o’clock. It is pre- sumed that a return of his pain caused him to resolve upon his own destruction. Toward morning he took a dose of lauda- num, and the deadly drug had well nigh ended his existence when he was discov- ered. Dr. Parault of S8an Francisco re- sorted to every expedient knewn to medi- cal science to counteract the effects of the poison, but his efforts resulted only in pro- tracting life until late in the afternoon. The body of Ex-Governor Stevenson will be shipped to-morrow to Boise City, Idaho, for interment. STEVENSON’S CAREER. He Took a Prominent Part in California and Idaho Politics. Edward A. Stevenson was born at Low- ville, Lewis County, New York, June 14, 1831. Eeight years later his parents re- moved to Washtenaw county, Michigan, and settled upon a farm. Edward was educated in the common schools and at Grass Lake Academy. In 1849 he emigrated to El Dorado County, Cal., and engaged in mining. He took a prominent part in local and State | politics. In 1851 he was elected a Justice of the Peace and in 1853 was chosen a representative in the California Legisls- ture. He was the only one of the repre- sentatives from the same county who was re-elected in 1854. Mr. Stevenson removed to Tehama County in 1854, Two years later, during his absence from home, his house was set on fire by Indians, and his wife and three children were burned to death in the build- ing. In 1859, he was again elected to the Legislature, and at the session of 1860 was chosen speaker pro. tem. of the House. Three yvears later he removed to Boise County, Idaho, where he engaged in farm- ing and mining, and was very successful. In 1864 he was elected a Justice of the Peace; in 1866 a member of the Territorial Council of Idaho. He studied law and was admitted to the bar the following year, and during the same year was elected a County Commissioner, serving until 1870. In 1874 Mr. Stevenson was elected a member of the Territorial Assembly, and was unanimously chosen Speaker of the Assembly. Two years later he was re- elected to the Assembly. President Cleveland named Mr. Steven- son as Governor of Idaho in September, 1885. The appointment was heartily ap- proved by the citizens of the Territory, regardless of party affiliations. He served four years as executive of the Territory. In 1894 ex-Governor Stevenson received the Democratic nomination for Governor, but met defeat by a slight majority in the election which marked the wave of Repub- licanism that swept the entire country. FOREST LAKE WIPED OUT, One House All That Is Left of the San Joaquin County Village. A Man Who Enters a Blazing Bulld- Ing Has a Narrow Escape From Cremation. STOCKTON, Cav., July 5.—Fire broke out in the village of Ferest Lake, two miles from Galt, at 10 o’clock last night. The entire town, with the exception of the residence of Mrs. Macauley, was destroyed. A young man named Altanow was burned. He was taken to the County Hospital at French Camp to-day. Altanow was sleeping in the loft of ‘a barn. He was awakened by the flames, which had reached the building, and he managed to escape. When he reached the ground it eccurred to him that his brother was in the burning building and he rushed back into the flames to arouse him. The Jatter was not in the structure, how- ever. The young man’s injuries are very serious, but they will not prove fatal, it is thought. His back, arms and hands were badly burned. Eight horses, including a valuable stal- lion, were burned to death. A blacksmith-shop and a machine-shop were among the buildings that were totally d:;t:—o ed. Itis not known how the fire started. S0DA-WATER TANK EXPLOSION. 4 Serious Accident Which Maims a Man for Life. STOCKTON, CAL., July 6.—Great excite- ment was caused at the Jackson baths this forencon by the explosion of a soda-water tank. The explosion occurred at 11 o’clock, when there was a lazge number of people at the resort. August Gunther was refilling the tank when the accident occurred. He was blown into the air and landed about fifteen feet from the spot where he had been standing. The tank was shattered. Gun- ther was picked up in an unconscious con- dition by Mr. Pearson, the proprietor of the baths, who witnessed the accident and who was the first to run to the assist- ance of the victims. fha latter was carried tofa room in the clubhouse and a physician was sim- moned. It was found that his left leg was broken below the knee, both bones being litterally shattered. The unfortunate man was removed to the County Hospital, and it is thought that amputation of the injured member will be necessary. The casualty occurred in the laundry- room, which is located just west of the public house. Gunther was refilling a ten- gallon zinc tank. There is a gauge over the pipe from which the tank was being refilled. The tank was tested for 400 pounds pressure, but it is thought fully 1000 pounds pressure was allowed to exert itself in tHe tank when the explosion oc- curred. % The man’s attention did not seem to be fixed upon what he was doing, for he evi- dently had not looked at the gauge. There was a piece_ot copper protruding from the tank, which served as a handle. It was about three inches long and about half an inch in diameter, being just about the shape of a large slug. It was blown from the tank with terrific force, and it was this that struck Gunther’s leg, —_— FRESNO AND THE VALLEY ROAD. Work of Securing Subseriptions to Be Prosecuted Vigorously. FRESNO, CAL., July 6.—The joint com- mittee of the Hundred Thousand Club and the Chamber of Com- merce, chosen to secure rights of way, etc., for the Valley road, had a meet- ing to-day and decided to begin the work of getting subscriptions next Monday. From $50,000 to $75,000 will be needed, but the committee is confident that the amount can be quickly secured. It has been sroposed that a union South- ern Pacitic and Valley road depot be built, as this would bring all the freight and passenger business to one point. The directors of the Valley road have asked that the route through the city be chosen as soon as possible, as surveying parties will be sent down to work north and south from this city SHOT DOWN BY MEXICANS An American Citizen Executed Without the Formality of a Trial. Robert Tribolet's Brother WIIl Ap- peal to the State Department for Redress. PHENIX, Ariz.,, July 6. — Albert Tribolet returned to-day from Fronteras, Mexico, where he has been to investigate the shooting of his brother, Robert Tribolet, on June 26. The latter had been taken from prison, where he had been incarcerated on suspicion of complicity in the murder of Stage-driver Moreno two weeks before, and, without the formality of'a trial, was shot to death by a party of Mexican soldiers. No relatives or friends were allowed to be with him or talk with him during his brief confinement, though the prisoner vainly attempted to show his innocence and that he wasin his field at home on the day of the stage robbery and killing. His brother met with scant courtesy at the hands of the Mexican authorities, and ! was informed by Captain Mendes, who had been both Judge and executioner, that Robert had been shot because a horse ridden by one of the robbers had upon it the Tribolet brand. The deceased was an American citizen, and his death leaves his large family almost destitute. His brother will appeal to the State Department at Washington for redress. o PACFIC GROVE STUDENTS Chautauquans Hear an Able Lecture Upon the Solar World. Professor Barnard of Lick Observa- tory Tells of the Advancements in Astronomy. PACIFIC GROVE, Cav., July 6.—The lecture by Professor Barnard of Lick Ob- servatory last evening was upon the ad- vancements made in astronomy through the aid of photography and the spectro- scope. He showed a chart of the solar spectrum, and explained the ‘black lines that are always found upon the spectrum. “These lines were not understood until experiments were produced by certain sub- stances that were burning in the sun,” said he, ‘‘and each element formed a black line in the solar spectrum. By these lines it can be told if the heavenly body is ap- proaching or receding from us. Professor Pickering of Harvard, who has exper- mented 1n photographing the specira of stars, sometimes found single lines and sometimes double. This proved that what was thought to be a single star was a double one—one revolving around the other. It would require a telescope ninety feet in diameter, which is an impossible thing, to tell if some stars are single or double. Galileo was the first astronomer to observe the ring around the planet Saturn, but now the width and depth of these rings have been estimated.”” The professor showed a beautiful stere- opticon view of an actual photograph of Saturn and its rings. He exFlained that those rings were composed of myriads of meteors; this had been proven stereoptic- ally. He closed his lecture by exhibiting some wonderful stereoscopic photo- graphs of the moon, the stars, meteors and comets, some of which were taken at the Lick Observatory and others in Europe and in the East by such men as Jansen of Paris, Robinson, Keeler and Roberts of England, and some splendid ones taken through the Lick telescope by Professor Holden and others. Professor Barnard stated that the lec- ture was positively his last in California, as he was on his way East, where he con- templated remaining. To-day was Chautauqua field day. Every one went to the big picnic held at Moss hBeln;h, where an open-air round table was eld. AR S A Marysville Officer Shoots Himself. MARYSVILLE, CaL, July 6.— Police Officer J. E. Parmalee, while dressing preparatory to going on duty this evening, accidentally dropped his revolver to the floor and the weapon was discharged, the bullet entering his thigh.

MARKED WITH RED INK, Officers Adopt a Novel Plan for ldentifying the Con- spirators. TRY TO FREE BUCK ENGLISH. Sples Watch the Would-Be Escapes While They Saw Through the Prison Door. NAPA, Car., July 6.—An attempt to break jail was made here last night by two prisoners in the County Jail, ¥at Read, a tramp, and Ernest Easton, a young man who claims Napa as his home. The at- tempt was made in the interest of ‘‘Buck’” Euglish, the stage-robber, whose prelim- inary examination had been set for to-day. Easton is serving three months for dis- turbing the peace, and Read is serving twenty days for the same offense. As all of the prisoners in the jail, except English, the highwayman, are petty offenders, the officers have not been in the habit of locking them up at night. Eng- lish has never been confined in a cell since his capture, his injuries being of such a serious nature that Dr. Springsten, the county physician, feared that confinement would be fatal. Until within a week ago he was constantly in bed, but 1s now able to walk about. The Sheriff has been sus- picious that English was feigning to be weaker than he really was, and kept a close watch upon him. English was told on Friday that hisex- amination would be held the following day, and though the delivery has been planned for some time this fact probably hastened it. The Sheriff’s office was aware of the plot and that a final break would be made Friday unight—in fact, the Sheriff discovered where the conspirators had been at work with a saw on one of the pad- locks on the door leading from the main corridor of the jail into the entry on the second floor. The marks of the saw had been concealed by wax. Though the officers knew or the plot they were not able to find out who the con- spirators were, and it was to gain that in- formation that they allowed the execution of the plans to go so far. A spy was put in the jail Friday evening and a close watch was kept on the outside. The jail building is separated from the main courthouse building by a narrow structure centaining a corridor above and below. The upper eorridor has a window on either side and is used for storing the effects of the prisoners during confine- ment in jail. The lower corridor is the entrance to the jail. The upper corridor is separated from the jail proper by a grating door, while the entrance from this corridor intc the courthouse is closed by a sheet- iron door containing a small wicket. The two windows are guarded by three-quarter inch iron bars four inches apart. Between 10 and 11 o'clock, when the two prisoners commenced to saw their way out of jail, Constables Secord and Allen were guarding the outside of the building and Shenif McKenzie, Under Sheriff Brownlee and George Brownlee watched the operations through the small wicket in the door. The officers could not distin- guish the faces of the prisoners, so a novel idea was hit upon. Animmense syringe was provided and loaded with half a pint of red ink. This was to be squirted through the wicket as soon as the men came within range, and the plan worked admirably. The prisoners, after about two hours’ work, succceded in sawing through the padlock on the grating door. As soon as thay got into the corridor they made straight for the .wicket and peeped out. Seeing no one they went to work on one of the window bars. Then Sheriff McKenzie gave them the contents of the syringe. The prisoners gave a yell of surprise, and dropping the saw fled to their cells. The officers fol- lowed as rapidly as possible and soon located the men by the ink stains on their clothing. The padlock was found secreted in the stove. The saw, an 8-inch blade, was identified by William West, a gunsmith, asone he sold to a boy Tuesday evening. It was fitted in an ingeniously contrived spring handle made of a bent piece of rake. The boy had told West that he wanted the saw to repair a bicycle. The attempted break caused great ex- citement here, followed as it was by the preliminary examination of English to- day. English’s examination was held be- fore Justice Bradford. Henry Hogan ap- peured for the prisoner and District Attor- ney Bell for the State. A. L. Palmer, the driver of the Lower Lake stage, and H. J. Gerdes, one of the passengers who was robbed when the stage was held up, were the principal witnesses. English, who says his first name is Laurence, was held to answer before the Superior Court, with bail fixed at $10,000. LILIUOKALANI TO MARRY, An Alliance With Japan to Be Effected by Wedding a Japanese. Private Advices From Hawall Glve Rumors of a Threatened Uprising. TACOMA, Wasg., July 6.—The Morning Union is in possession of private advices from Honolulu to the effect thal Queen Lil and her following are plotting to form an alliance with Japan by her marriage to a Japanese Count. The Japanese have 30,000 residents on the islands, and with this new alliance it is claimed the Hawaiian republic couid be overthrown.
