THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 15, 1895. BOUNTY ON EXPORTS, Mr. Lubin in the East in the Interest of His Project. TO MEET SHIP-OWNERS. it Is Thought That They Will Readily Co-operate for Its Success. SEEKS A PARTY INDORSEMENT. An Effort to Have the Proposition Inserted In the Republican Platform. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 14.—The Pa- 1 ci e States have recent become quite interested in a campaign conducted by David Lubin o cramento, Cal., a ealthy gocds merchant, who advo- cates the nent of an export bounty on staple agricultural products, and which proposition the Republican party of C fornia adopted in 1894 as one of the pianks in its platform. Mr. Lubin is a Republi- can and a protectionist and hopes to secure the insertion of his proposition in the Na tional Republican platform as one of its nks. ome months ago Mr. Lubin was asked s 'oposition, con- ication to such agricultural re transported in ships owned and built in the United States. He ar- rived in New York to-night, having come st in order to ascertain whether he can obtain the co-operation of those interested in the advocacy of his pro- S ounty, provided he and the 2,000,000 farmers who are members of the Patrons of Husbandry and who, he says, are committed to his proposition, will use r influence to i out the restora- rg in toe foreign €XpOrts as B 2. o 5 owners of America L 1be neld to- Morrow morning in this city, which meet- Lubin will add: n the subject vort bounty, and urge a orts on the part of those inter- \ipping, for mutual aid ested in sl n Fran- ad Seattle have form- yproposition, as jing, and before he .

Should Mr. Lubin succeed in inducing the Nation to adont his propos it is the expecta- tion of those interested in American ship ping to limit the payment of the export bounty to such shipments as are made only in American built and owned ships. The outcome of Mr. Lubin’s sion will be watched with considerable interest, no doubt, by the leaders of both the great po- litical parties, there being nothing to show as yet, so far as has been learned, that the so-called Lubin proposition has received the indorsement of any of the Presidentia! timber in the Republican party. MAY GO ON THE WARPATH Omaha Indians Aroused Over the Murder of Their Chief. Only a Miracle Saves His Slayers From Being Burned at the Stake. PENDER, Nrpr, July 14—Two of Captain Beck’s Indian police are in the Thurston jail to answer to- the charge of murdering George Parker, son of Fire Chief, the last great chief of the Omahas, The crime occurred last night on the Omaha reservation, near the tribe’s cele- bration grounds, and it was only a miracle that saved the two policemen from -being | burned to a stake by the 500 Omahas that were near at hand. The policemen are both Winnebagos—Frank Ewing and Ewing now claims the shoot- ing was accidental, but other reports state that he made the assertion that he just wanted to kill an Omaha. The two tribes are very unfriendly. People from the reservation will call at- tention to this erime to prove that Beck’s Indian police are not the proper persons to be given fire arms. The Omahas are wild over the murder and a tribunal war is possible. DECLARES THE LAW VALID, Attorney-General Crane De- cides Against Pugilism in Texas. The Sheriff of Dallas County In- structed to Prevent the Coming Prize-Fight. AUSTIN, Tex., July 14.—Attorney-Gen- era} Crane to-day gave the public his opinion on the law of 1891, which prohibits prize-fighting in Texas. The opinionds banded down at the instance of the County Attorney of Dallasicounty, in view of the approaching Corl Titzsimmons fight. The Attorney-General holds that the law of 1891 prohibiting prize-fighting is valid wnd operative. This opinion 1s contrary to chat cf many lawyers, who contend that che law is invalid because it denounces the »ifense as a felony and affixes thereto the punishment of a misdemeanor; and, secondly, because the act is so indefinitely tramed and is of such doubtful construc- tion, considered either by itself or in con- section with the other provisions of the written law, that it cannot be understood. In rebuttal the Attorney-General holds the intention frequently controls the ex- press language in the construction of the statues, and following this doctrine laid iown by the higher court, the courts are at 4berty to eliminate that word felony if such | there. elimination were necessary to give effect to legislative intents. It must be plain that the court believed the intention of the Legislature was to prohibit prlz&iihts. It the court further believed that the fact that the Legislature affixed the punish- ment of a misdemeanor to the offense of prize-fighting, and that the word felony was inserted by mistake, it was at perfect liberty to disregard that word in construe- tion of the statute. He argues that the Court of Criminal Appeals bas held the law to be valid, and he does likewise. He instructs the Sheriff of Dallas County that it is not his duty to question the le- gality of law, but that he must carry out its sions to the letter until the law 1s set aside by the courts. The opinion is very liable to raise a stir among the Dallas people, who are longing for the fight. It is generally conceded that if the matter could be gotten in the higher courts on a statement of facts, as to its contradictory elements, the law would be declared invalid, but as that can hardly be done before the date of the fight, some uneasiness is expressed that the Governor will enforce this law of 1891 at any cost. IR WRECKED BY A CYOLONE, Liamage Done by a Twister in South Dakota. GRAFTON, 8. D., July 14.--A cyclone struck the farm of O. D. Nelson, six miles northeast, at 4:45 this afternoon. It lifted the dwellings up in the air and whirled them around and dashed them into thousands of pieces. There were five persons in Nelson's A 12year-old girl named Peters ally hurt. Mr. Nelson and several of his children were in Grafton attending church. Six miles southeast a farmer named Knudson had the roof taken off his house and there is undoubtediy more dam- age done. A number of people from here have visited the wreck. There is nothing of the house left. A buggy standing near the machinery shed was not overturned. The twister was plainly seen from Graf- ton and seemed to be taking a southeast course, at one time coming directiy toward Grafton, but turned to the east and may have crossed the Red River. AID FOR THE ROMELESS, Relief Funds for the Victims of the Eastern Tornado Started. Sightseers at the Cherry Hill Ruins Contribute Liberally to the Cause. CHERRY HILL, , July 14.—Three dead and about six seriously wounded is the result of yesterday’s tornado, not in- cluding the homeless condition of about fifteen families. The dead as reported | last night are Conrad Friedman, the hotel- | keeper; Anton, an employe of August und, and William Ahrens’ 3 months old ix persons were taken to the Hack- k Hospital, but two have since been discharged. Edgar Chinnock, whose skull was fractured while he attempted to save iis brother’s horse, is still in a critical con- dition. He was able to recognize his mother this afternoon, but his recovery is doubtiui. The Cherry Hill relief fund was formed at Hackens: to-day. Cigar-boxes were displayed on all the prominent thorough- fares, and collections taken at Cherry Hill all the afternoon from the mass of visitors. About $1006 was collected. Upward of 25,000 persons visited the scene of destruc- tion to-day, some driving from New York, Jersey City, Long Island and Nyack. Rev. A. Duryea, pastor of the Reformed Church, which was blown off its foundation, held services in the open air this evening, and fully ) persons attended. On Monday night a mass-meeting will be held in the Hackensack Opera-house to devisg means of establishing a fund for the relief of the needy sufferers. All the churches have promised to combine in the work. The Bergen Hook and Ladder Company of Hackensack was on hand this morning and cleared away the dangerous rocks. Curio-seckers and camera-fiends were out in full force. The damage to property will reach about § 0. Noinsurance policies cover damage by tornado. Tents have been sent here by neighboring towns. About ten families are in _ore circumstances through the loss of their new homes, and prompt attention will be paid to their relief. NEW FIREF SPRING UP. Michigan Towns Still Menaced by the Burning Forests. TRAVERSE CITY, Micr., Juiy 14.— Since last nightonly a few new elements of danger from forest fires have presented themselves here. Fires, however, are scattered throughout the woods, and should 2 wind arise the results will be de- structive. In Bensie County the wors fears are entertained, though fires are sub- siding near Wallin, the village destroyed last week. To-night new fires have sprung up near Cedar Run, Lake Ann and Fouch. Stand- ing timber is in danger, but ne mills are threatened. _Along the line of the Man- istee and Northern Railroad tbere are fires scattered. THOMPSONVILLE, Mich., July 14.—In all the churches in this part of the State rain was prayed for to-day. Showers are needed badly to extinguish the forest fires and to revive the withering crops, but the sky gives no signs of immediate answer to the petitions. The situation. howerver, is not as bad as it might be. Itis true that one town has been wiped out, but unless the wind rises to the dignity of a gale, there is now no immediate danger to the isolated farmers. e S e CATHOLIC SUMMER SCHOOL. The DMadison Gathering Opened With Pontifical High Mass. MADISON, Wis., July 14.—The Colum- bian Catholic summer school began this morning with the celebration of pontifical high mass in two of the Catholic churches of the city. Archbishop Feehan of Chicago celebrated the wass at St. Rafael’s Church, while Bishop Mesmer of Green Bay cele- brated the mass at St. Patrick’s Church. A number of very prominent Catholics will be in attendance x‘lurinz the session of the school. Monsignor Satolli has prom- ised to spend a short time, at least, in Madison, and & number of Archbishops and Bishops of the Northwest will be Besides, there will be a number of prominent educators and laymen of the church during the session. S PLACED UNDEER THE BAN., Pope Leo’s FEdict Regarding Secret Societies Read at Chicago. CHICAGO, Iun, July 14.—Catholic members of the Knights of Pythias, Odd Feliows and Sons of Temperance were authoritatively placed under the ban of the Romish church by the published order that went into effect to-day, and must now count themselves ostracized from all communication with the religion of their fathers, - Such is the effect of the edict of Pope Leo XIII read from Roman Catholic gulmu this morning, not only in Chicago, Fut éhrnughaut the diocese of Archbishop ‘eehan.

FAST NEARING A CRISIS. England Likely to Take the Field in Defense of the Island Empire. EUSTIS' ALLEGED INTERVIEW. Harold Frederic’s Covert Insinua- tion Concerning the Attend- Ing Circumstances. yrighted, 1895, by the New York Times.] . Exc., July 14.—Those here who know most of the far East and who supported throughout my belief that the Russo-Chinese loan would go through de- spite all denials, expect now to hear very soon of friction or even of collision be- between the Russians and the Japanese. All accounts through private channels represent Japan as straining every muscle to prepare at once for a bigger struggle than that just finished, and troops re- turning from the seat of war have all been dispatched immediately to the north in order to seize Korea the moment Russia gives any sign of aggression either there or in Manchuria. It seems indeed likely that the new European grouping, with England and Italy at its head, will show its band soon in the Pacific, and that it would discover itseif on the Japanese side instead of against her this time. Embassador Eustis’ explanation and disclaimers regarding the reputed inter- view about Canada and Cuba have been re- ceived here, it must be admitted, with rather impolite incredulity. His amazing public speech here in April was lightly passed over by the London press for the reason, in at least two cases I know of, that the reporters present at the banquet ex- plained to their editors the conditions un- der which the remarks were uttered. The | natural tendency is to ascribe these new in liscretions to the same cause. Nobody minds them much, but there is an element of contempt in this indifference which does not cause the American heart to glow with pride. Tne poor Cornell boys have not contrib- uted much in that direction, either. No athletic visitors to these shores ever got into quite such complete bad odor with the public. The unhappiest part of it is that they really did not deserve it at all. They would gladly have rowed their heads off that evil Tuesday in any way the Eng- lish suggested rather than had incurred the slightest suspicion of unsportsmanlike behavior. But the English declined to suggest anything and bave been rather mean since, I feel, in visiting upon the lads the penalties of criticism and ostra- cism as if they were sharpers instead of honest if somewhat green youngsters a long way from home. Fortanately the revelation the next day that they could not row took some of the bitterness out of the episode. But the boys themselves present such a melancholy picture of abasement and humiliation that one cannot but grieve for them. Despite the serious disturbance of the Lendon season by the elections, Augustin Daly’s company more than held its own this year, and Miss Reban, standing the exceptional test of comparison with both Duse and Bernhardt, is spoken of with much more certainty by the critics as holding the first place among English- speaking actresses. Of the others Miss Carlisle was quickly picked out for praise, although no word has been said here of her tamily connections. The Lord Mayor on Tuesday gives a ceremonial luncheon at theMansion House in honor of the company. FREDERIC. REGRETTED BY THE QUEEN, Court Officials Who Canceled Presentations Displeased Her Majesty. Victoria Not in Sympathy With the New Woman or the Ad- vanced Novel. LONDON, Exa., july 14. — The Lon- don season will close with a great state ball at Buckingham Palace on July 15. The Princess of Wales and her daughters, the Princesses Victoria and Maud, who are now at Sandringham House, will be present on the occasion and afterward will go to Goodwood, thence to Cowes and later to Cupenhagen. What- ever truth there may have been in the oft- repeated stories that a coolness existed be- tween the Queen and Princess Alexan- drea, it is certain there is none now. Her Majesty is rejoicing over the assiduity of the Princess to the duties of a long and trying season, and is greatly pleased that her daughter-in-law and social representa- tive has emerged from her virtual retire- ment and assumed her proper place in the royal functions. The coming ball will be much less exclu- sive than such affairs usually are. Atre- cent drawing-rooms several presentations were privately canceled, whereupon pro- tests were made by interested persons, which reached the Queen, Her Majesty took these protests under consideration, and ner investigation of the matter led to the forwarding of official expressions of regret to the party aggrieved. The Queen has now decided not to allow court ofticials to act upon their own responsibility in re- viewing presentations, and has 1uled that persons who undertake to present others must be held responsible for those they in- dorse. If a mistake occurs the offending indorsers may be altogether excluded from court. According to Vanity Fair, the Queen speaks scathingly of the “new woman” in the “advanced novel.” She is reported to have remarked on this subject: “It i a pity that educated women will nl_low their pens to so run riot, and it isa pity that the public isin.a mood to buy such books. If there was no demand the authors would quickly quit writing.” The death of Francis Clark, the suc- cessor of John Brown, the Queen’s Scotch “‘gillie,” who was carried off by a cancer, is keenly regretted by the Queen and her household. In consequence of his death her Majesty has countermanded the per- formance of an Italian opera, which was to have taken place at Windsor. within a few days. Clark spent twenty-five yearsin the service of the Queen, and at the death of John Brown succeeded that functionary as her Majesty's personal attendant. He was much better liked than Brown. He was never insolent to the Queen’s en- tourage, as Brown was, and made many friends by his retiring and unassuming manner. He was buried at Crathie, and upon his coffin were placed wreaths sent by the Queen, Prince and Princess of Bat- tenberg, Prince and Princess Christian and many others who appreciated his good qualities, e WILL APPEAL TO THE POPE. The Sultan of Turkey Wants Leo to Act as Mediator. PARIS, Fraxcr, July 14.—The Matin’s Constantinople correspondent telegraphs that the Sultan thinks of sending Galilee Bey, introducer of diplomats, to Rome to ask the Pope to mediate in the questions that have arisen between Turkey and the powers in connection with Armenia. s e Politics Barred in the Church. DUBLIN, Irgraxp, July 14.—The Most Rev. William Walsh, Archbishop of Dub- lin, has sent a circular letter to the clergy of his diocese protesting against the feuds and dissensions between public men in Ire- land and reminding the clergy that it is improper for them to deal with politics in churches, AL Subscribes to a Relief Fund. SOUTHAMPTON, Exe., July 14.—Sui- dam Palmer, owner of the schooner yacht Zampa, which capsized in the drydock at Fay’s yard here last Friday, killing one man and injuring others, has subscribed $200 to a fund that has been started for the relief of the families of the victims of the accident. MADE A CLEVER WITNESS, Mrs. Rhodes Outwits the Ex- aminer in a London Divorce Suit. Testifies In an Action Brought by the Wife of the Notorious Joseph Tasker. LONDON, Exe., July 14.—A prom- inent figure in a suit for divorce, brought by Mrs. Tasker from her husband, Joseph Tasker, is Mrs. Joseph Rhodes, widow of a wealthy mine-owner in Colo- rado. She was called to the witness-stand yesterday, and in her testimony gave abundant proof that the plaintiff’s charges against her husband, and incidentally against the witness, were well founded. Tasker was recently made notorious in connection with a dispute over the pur- chase of the famous Agra diamond from a well - known jeweler while under the influence of drink. He in- herited £4,000,000 and has since then been extremely dissipated. He married a woman of simiiar tendencies, and almost from the day of their marriage they fought, drank, gambled and plunged into all sorts of excesses. Tasker met Mrs. Rhodes in San Fran- cisco in 1893. Mrs. Rhodes testified that she was introduced to Mr. Tasker by,a Captain Templeton, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. Her husband committed suicide in Denver. He left her a small in- come, she said, but she could not be in- duced to state the amount. Her cousin managed that estate. She admitted that she came to England with Tasker. Cap- tain Templeton was a buyer of drafts and notes, some of which Tasker cashed. She lived in Manchester with Tasker and in Amsterdam nursed him through a long illness. She had also lived in the Hotel Metropole and other expensive places, but she could not recall the amount of the ex- penses involved. She declared amid the smiles of the habitues of the court that Tasker was a mere acquaintance. She had never asked him about his wife and had never given her a thought. Mrs. Rhodes proved to be an exceedingly sharp woman and had no difficulty in par- rying the thrusts of her examiner. The duel between her and the opposite coun- sel wiil be renewed next week. In the meantime the score is in her favor. ST ALL PARIS CEFLEBRATING. Thousands Make Merry on the Anniver~ sary of the Bastile’s Fall. PARIS, France, July 14.—To-day was the one hundred and sixth anniversary of the fall of the Bastile, ana falling on Sun- day, the holiday was more generally ob- served than usual. All the public bnildings and private residences were decorated, and the day was celebrated in the most fervid manner. Thousands on thousands of per- sons strolled about the streets, while thou- sands visited the-various resorts in the vicinity of the city. Many Parisians went in carriages or on bicycles to Longchampsin the afternoon to witness a review of troops. Ia the even- ing the city was brilliantly illuminated. The open-air resorts were crowded with onlookers and the merriment promised to last all night. SR Thanked Queen Victoria. LONDON, Exc., July 14.—King Hum- bert, replying to the message sent him by Queen Victoria expressing her pleasure at the visit to Eugland of the Italian fleet, has sent her Majesty an enthusiastic dis- patch thanking her for the reception ac- corded the squadron by the British naval officers and people. A SUP AT CLEVELAND, Michigan Democrats Engage Colonel Morton as Chief Organizer. He Had Been Removed From the Treasury Department Less Than a Month Ago. AUGUSTA, Mk, July 14.—The Demo- cratic State Committee of Maine has re- engaged Colonel Charles B. Morton for the coming campaign as chief organizer of the party throughout the State. Colonel Morton was appointed fourth as- sistant auditor of the treasury by Presi- dent Cleveland a couple of years ago and was removed less than a month ago. The ‘“cause” of the removal was that Colonel Morton had made himself obnox- jous to Secretary Carlisle and Assistant Secretary Hamlin of the Treasury and to Secretary Herbert of the Navy, whose ac- counts he had to audit, and had written several letters expressing freely his opin- ions regarding his superiors in office, in- cluding the President himself. Colonel Morton is known in Maine as “the boss of the plum trust.” His re- engagement as boss organizer is a direct slap in the face of the President and his Cabinet, whose personal feelings in regard to Colonel Morton are well known. There are dissensions enough in regard to the Maine remnant already, and this action on the part of the State Committee is likely still further to divide it. N A CRISIS IN SWEDEN, Relations Between King and Storthing Again Menacing. DEMANDS MORE MONEY. Oscar Insists That His Yearly Allowance Be Greatly In- creased. AFFAIRS IN THE FATHERLAND. A Monetary Conference to Be Called, Even Though Hohenlohe Does Not Act. BERLIN, GErMANY, July 14.—The latest advices from the Emperor at Stockholm are to the effect that he will leave there to- morrow for the northern part of Sweden, but it is his intention to meet King Oscar again on his return. The relations of the King with the major- ity in the Storthing are again menacing. In the early part of this week the Stor- thing will be called upon to vote the annual allowances for the King and Crown Prince. Two years ago the majority showed their hostility to the King by reducing his Majesty’s annual allowance from 366,000 to 256,000 kroner, and the allowance of the Crown Prince from 60,000 to 30,000 kroner. The King, through his Ministers, now de- mands the old grant of 366,000, and con- tends that it was in violation of the provis- ions of the constitution to reduce the royal grant during the lifetime of the reigning monarch. There is very little likelihood that the Norwegian Radicals will admit the validity of the King’s constitutional ar- gument unless his Majesty assents to their view of the constitution in regard to the diplomatic and consuiar representation of Norway. Premier Stang has again gone to thé King asking him to reconstruct the Cabi- net, and the state of affairs issuch that the King, before he sees the German Em- peror, is likely to go to Christiania and make another attempt to construct a coali- tion Ministry. The Emperor, upon leav- ing Stockholm, will probably sail on board the Hohenzollern to Gefle, where he will land and proceed to Hernosand, and thence to Wisby and Borgholm. ‘Whatever serious business engagements the Emperor and King Oscar may have had, they have not militated against the Kaiser's open and hearty enjoyment of this town. A representative of the United Press, with only one other journalist as well, has been privileged to accompany the Emperor on his trips from Stockholm to the various places he has visited, and was thus enabled to observe the Kaiser frolicking on board his yacht, seemingly oblivious to every care and enjoying each moment with the zest of youth, at the same time making the occasion pleasant for everybody about him. The officers of the Hohenzollern say that after visiting Borgholm the Emperor in- tends to return to German waters. The Empress had arranged to go to Sassnitz, on the Island of Rugen, on July 20 with the four younger Princes and the little Princess, but she changed her plans and left Potsdam for Sassnitz on Wednesday. The Emperor will without doubt visit the Empress at Sassnitz before going to Cowes to witness the regatta. The influx of Ger- man tourists into Rugen is so great that the degree of quiet, which the Empress especially desires, is likely to be broken into by the swarm of visitors around Sass- nitz, Binz and Stubbenkammer, all of which places are easy of access from Stet- tin and Swinemunde. TheSchlossat Daziden, which the Kaiser has leased, has been so inclosed that the Empress can drive for miles on the grounds without being seen by the public. The Schloss stands upon a cliff overlooking the sea, three miles from Sassnitz, The rooms are large and pleasant. A flight of marble steps leads up to the great hall, which is supported by marble pillars adorned with frescoes. There is a private means of ac- cess from the cliffs to the sea and exten- sive woods of beeches and fir enhance the seclusion of the place. The lease of the Schloss was secured by the Kaiser in 1894, upon hearing how the Empress was an- noyed on the occasion of her last visit to Rugen by a mob of curious visitors, After witnessing the Cowes regatta the Emperor will spend a week in grouse shooting in Scotland, and will return to Berlin in time to lay the foundation-stone of the national monument to his grand- father, Emperor William I, on August 18, the anniversry of the battleof Gravelotte. The occasion will be one of great ceremony. All of the heads of the German Federal Governments and the leading dignitaries of the empire will be present, and it is ex- pected that the Emperor will deliver an oration glorifying the results of the war of 1870. The celebration of the twenty-fifth Sedan day, on September 1, will be general in Germany. This will be followed by the ceremony of the Emperor’s unveiling the statue of his father, Emperor Frederick, at ‘Woerth, both of which events will be occa- sions when the Germans, one and all, will ignore the popular delusion about the growth of French good feeling toward Ger- many. The Socialist organizations have adopted concurrent resolutions declaring that they will take no part in the celebra- tion, but there are no tears shed over this action. Two representatives of the French Bi- metallic League, Deputy Fourgieril, vice- chairman of the league, and M. Thery, the secretary of that organization, spent sev- eral days in Berlin this week, and have had a number of conferences with ‘Herren Kardorff and Mirbach and Dr. Arendt. The mission of the French gentlemen was to prepare the way for an international monetary conference, and the result of their discussion points to the convening of an international conference within a short time. Herren Kardorff and Mirbach ex- press confidence that Chancellor Hohen- lohe will fulfill his promise to call such a conference before the Reichstag again assembles, but the Government officials outside of the bimetallic circles do not be- lieve that Prince Hohenlohe will be so ready to act when the time comes as his promise indicated. The chief difficulty will be to find a basis for a conference which will be acceptable to the German Federal States, nor will the difficulty be surmounted when such a basis is obtained, -as many of the considerations which would have to be put forth to meet the wishes of the German States would involve long negotiations with the foreign powers. If Prince Hohenlohe fails to meet the hopes of the bimetallists, it has been decided by the latter to call a meeting in Berlin on the initiative of the German Bimetallic League. The French and English leagues have already promised to send delegates. Another madhouse scandal similar to the Mariaburg affair has arisen in Bremen in the Protestant hospital, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Bodelschwings. The charges against the institution are made by Herr Schuttze, the director of the Bremen po- lice, as the resuit of an investigation by Dr. Scholz, who asserts thathe has personal knowledge that cruelties even greater than those practiced upon the patientsin the Mariaburg institution have been common in the Bremen hospital for a long time. The managers of the institution have made energetic denials of these charges, but Dr. Scholz persists in his charges, and the di- rector of the police, at Scholz’s instigation, has laid his information before a magis- trate and demanded a public inquiry. Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria has made his reappearance at Carlsbad, which cir- cumstance is regarded as indicating some- thing important concerning the adminis- tration at Sofia. It is one of the peculiari- ties of Ferdinand that when he is about to alter any of the rules, regulations or cus- toms of the Bulgarian Government he im- mediately gets out of the country, leaving his Ministers to face whatever pop- ular displeasure may arise. Consequently, whenever he leaves Sofia it isassumed that there is to be another change, the responsi- bility for which he desires to shirk. Itis reported and generally believed that he had authorized Bishop Clement, the head of the Bulgarian mission now at St. Peters- burg, to inform the Czar that he (Ferdi- nand) is ready to make any sacrifice, even his personal conversion to the Greek faith, in order to reconcile the relations of Bul- garia with Russia. Prince Lobanoff-Rostovsky, the Russian Foreign Minister, received the mission on Friday and the St. Petersburg Government has permitted the statement to be sent out by telegraph that Prince Lobanofi asked Bishop Clement if there was any danger that ex-Premier Stambouloff would return to power, and that the Bishop replied that there was. Indeed, he gave the Prince to understand that the danger would exist as long as Russia and Bulgaria remained un- reconciled. Prince Lobanoff is reported to have re- sponded that he was in favor of a policy of reconciliation, and further said that the Czar had no personal feeling against Prince Ferdinand. The Bulgarian mission will be received by the Czar on Wednesday. The general opinion in diplomatic circles is that the submission of Bulgaria to Russia will change the whole situation in the East. A marriage has been arranged between Prince Maximilian of Baden, heir of the Grand Duke of Baden, and Princess Vic- toria of Schieswig-Holstein, daughter of Prince Christian. The pair met at Wind- sor recently and the Queen gave her as- sent to the betrothal. The ship which was sunk in the Baltic Canal yesterday lies upon her side near the right bank of the waterway. Canal pilots are notified that the passage of the canal is open, but that extreme care must be observed. The Archbishop of Freiberg has issued a circular to the German Bishops calling upon all Catholics to assist in the estab- lishment of a university at Freiberg in Saxony. The university will be the only purely Catholic institution of the kind in Germany, although there are sev- eral notable ones in Baden, Bonn and Tu- bingen, which have Catholic faculties in charge. The Pope has given his hearty approval to the plan. The studies in the university willinclude theology, philology, sociology, civil and canon law, natural science, historic science and philosophy. The Catholic press hail the establishment of the university and call attention to its importance. The lawn tennis tournament between army and navy officers will open to-mor- row at Homburg under the patronage of the Emperor, Prince Albert of Schleswig- Holstein and Vice-Admiral Valois. The Emperor has ordered the erection of a cov- ered Jawn tennis court at Potsdam, so that the games may be played in the winter months. His passion for the game has set the fashion. The crowds of Americans at Homburg include Mr. B. Postley, wife and daugh- ters; Mr. T. Stillman and family; Mr. W, 8. Pyle and wife; Mr, C. W. Webster and wife; Mr. Kissam and wife and_Mr, Scar- isbrick and wife, all of New York; and Mrs. M. Rothschild and family, and Mrs, Courtney of Chicago. WRECKED N A DENSE FOE: The Steamer City of Mexico Runs Ashore Off Belle Isle. Had Been Aground Several Days Before Sighted by an Eng- lish Vessel. QUEBEC, O~rt., July 14.—The steamer Assaye from London arrived here at 10 o'clock to-nicht and reports having sighted the City of Mexicg ashore on the northwest side of Belle Isle, two and a half miles from the lighthouse. Captain Daly of the City of Mexico sig- naled the Assaye from the northeast side of the island on Thursday at 8:30 p. »., and Captain_ Caruthers hove his steamer to and waited for daylight, when a part of the crew was shipped on board. Captain Daly and part of the crew remain on board the wrecked vessel. The oiher members of the crew were landed here to- night. 'he Mexico is a total wreck. Her water- tight compartments are full everywhere and she has a heavy list to starboard, and her stern is submerged. The Mexico was laden with a general cargo from Montreal to Avonmouth. ‘The cargo consisted of cattle, cheese, butter. ham, grain, etc. ashore Saturday, July 7, and Captain Daly blames the current and fog for his mis- fortune. The vessel and cargo are valued at £100,000, partially insured. Help will be sent to the Mexico immediately, and what- ever can be secured from the wreck will be brought to Quebec.
