\ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1895. “YIVA-EL. CARDINAL Royal Welcome of Balti~ more Catholics to Gibbons. LOVED BY THE PEOPLE. Thousands Gathered at the Archiepiscopal Residence to Extend Greetings. MANY NOTED PRELATES THERE. ‘With All the Homage Paid, His Emi- nence Found Time to Preack on “Love Your Neighbors.” BALTIMORE, Mp., Aug. 25.—The re- ception tendered to Cardinal Gibbons to- night by the Catholic Club was an event long to be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to gain entrance to the rooms of the club. Long before 8.0’clock, the hour set for the arrival of the guests, thousands of persons had gathered on Charles street in front of the archiepisco- pal residence and the clubhouse directly opposite in the hope of personally convey- ing their congratulations to the Cardinal upon his safe return, after an absence in Europe of nearly four months, to his home and among his beloved people. Premptly at 8 o’clock the Cardinal, lean- ing upon the arm of James R. Wheeler, president of the Catholic Club, emerged from his residence and picked his way through the immense throng to the club- house, closely followed by Mgr. Satolli, Mgr. Sherretti, Bishops Foley of Detroit and Donohue of Wheeling, and the clergy of Baltimore, headed by the venerable Mgr. McColgan." The hall of the clubhouse where the re- ception was held was handsomely dec- orated with flowers, ferns and plants, The Cardinal’s red chair was overhung with ferns and festooned with flowers, resem- bling a fairy grotto. As the procession entered the hall the cathedral choir, under the direction of Professor F. X. Hale, sang “Viva el Cardinal,”’ a march chorus. When the Cardinal was seated, with | Mgr. Satolli and Bishop Foley on either side, Assistant District Attorney Edward H. Gans welcomed him on behalf of the Catholic' Club and the citizens. nence responded briefly, thanking the hosts for the unmistakable warmth of their greeting. Professor Lindhardt's orchestra, con- cealed by a floral screen, played a number of sacred airs while the fortunate ones who had been able to squeeze into the apart- ments were formed into,line and said a few pleasant words to his eminence as they filed from the hall to make room for the waiting thousands on the outside. The re- ception was continued for more than two hours, when the Cardinal was compellea to excnse himself and was again escorted across the crowded street to his residence, The Cardinal objects to public demon- strations on the Sabbath, but owing to the fact that the annual retreat of the Catholic clergy of the archdiocese will begin to- morrow the officers of the club prevailed upon him to allow his flock to see him and offer greeti before secluding himself for a week in Mary’s Seminary, where the retreat will be held. Cardinal Gibbons of- ficiated at the 7 o’clock mass at the cathe- dral to-day. He also delivered a short ser- mon on “Love Your Neighbors,” MORTON T0 B LEAOWED Western Congressmen Irate Over the Loss of Sugar Stations. Threaten to Investigate the Admin- istration of the Agricultural Department. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.—There is a great row over Secretary Morton's ac- tion in closing sugar experimental stations which were authorized by Congress, and Congressmen declare that Secretary Mor- ton’s administration of the Agricultural Department will certainly be investigated next winter. Twenty-two sugar experi- mental stations in different parts of the United States, including that in California, were closed by Secretary Morton arbitrar- ily, and he says if sugarmen want to ex- periment let them do it themselves and at their own expense. Morton’s action in thus setting aside the law of Congress is even more astonishing than that of Comptroller Bowler, who also seeks to nullify a law. In his last annual report Secretary Morton expressed the opinion that ‘the Agricultural Depart- ment, as_organized, presents opulent og» portunities for most pronounced paternal- ism.” He considered distribution of seeds gratuituously to farmers to be paternal- ism, and cut them off in defiance of the expressed wish of Congress, which passed an appropriation for their purchase. Now he has abolished sugar stations as be- mg paternalistic and “no good.” ecretary Morton said to THE CALLcor- respondent to-day: “The Government has been steadily losing money in the maintenance of the sugar experimental stations without ec- complishing any real good so far as the in- dustry was concerned. Upward of §500,000 was spent in Nebraska antf nearly $200,000 in Kansas since the inception of this work of education of the farmers of the West in the culture and . production of cane and beet sugar, and it can safely be said that the benefits derived therefrom have been merely nominal. There were ten stations originally, most of which were situated in Kansas and Nebraska, but by some leger- demain they have been spirited away one after another, so that now we are able to find but five of them upon the map. I Lave therefore decided that it would be best to do away altogether with these ex- perimental stations, which, being of no practical utility, have been the means of fleecing the Government aanually out of large sums of money.”’ In his argument at the bounty hearing lge!ore Comptroller Bowler a few days ago, Senator Manderson praised the work which bhad been accomplished by these experimental stations in Nebraska in the way of teaching the farming element out there the secrets of the ‘‘sun plants.” The possibilities of that branch of agriculture were said by Mr. Manderson to be so great that with the repeal of the bounty by Con- greu a movement was set on foot to secure tate aid for the industry. Bt RS NICARAGUAN CANAL ROUTE. United States Commission Will Recom- mend a Change. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.—The latest mail from Central America brought His emi- | files of the Bluetields Nicaragua Recorder, in an issue of which, July 27, appeared the article purporting to give the recommenda- tions of the United States Commission which recently inspected the canal. “We are in receipt of United States ad- vices to the effect that a favorable report on the Nicaraguan canal will be made by the United States Government Commis- sion which lately examined the proposed canal route and the terminal harbors on the Atlantic and Pacific_coasts. ““The report, which will very shortly be published, will be of an exhaustive char- acter and deal with all the aspects of the colossal enterprise. The commission will state their unanimous conclusion that Colorado bar, which has caused so much trouble at the entrance to Greytown har- bor, can be practically removed by dredg- ing, and that a permanent opening through it can be maintained by building a piling to the southward of the harbor, so as to break the ocean current which washes up the sand on the bar. . “A slight change in the route of the pro- posed canal will be recommerded, owing to a belief on the part of the Commission- ers of several serious obstacles on the route as heretofore laid down. “The Commissioners think the work of constructing the canal can be completed in six or seven years, but that the total cost will considerably exceed the limit set by the projectors, and that $110,000,000 will not be an excessive figure. They will ven- tilate their opinion of the former manage- ment of the canal enterprise and will present a number of severe criticisms in this connection. “Since the above was in type, we have communications of a private letter from Greytown, in which it is stated that | American advices have been received to the effect that the report of the commis- sion is not as satisfactory as at first antici- pated. It appears the Commissioners, after reaching the ‘divide,’ decided? not to g9 any further and retuznied to Gréytown. 'here Colonel Ludlow, chairman of the commission, expressed himself very openly on the question of the Atlantic terminus, which he said should be, in the event of any decision being arrived at, at Colorado bar instead of Greytown.” LUBIN'S GREAT SCHEME: He Would Grant a Bounty on All Staple Agricultural Exports. The National Implement Manufact- urers Willing to Indorse His Plan. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.—David Lubin of Sacramento is at the Ebbet House. To interested listeners he ex- ploited his scheme to grant a bounty on taple agricultural exports. Beriah Wil- kins, editor of the Post, was among those deeply interested in Mr. Lubin’s scheme, and after listening to the able Californian, stated emphatically that its adoption s O | would be nothing more than justice to the committee, the club and the assembled | farmer. Mr. Lubin has succeeded in interesting Senator Frye ot Maine and Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. Both of them, aiter listening intently, said that such bounty would be equitable and just. Mr. Lubin has a letter from A. L. Conger of Ohio, president of the National Associa- tion of Agricultural Implements and Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association, in which he says: “We are ready to unite with the agricultural people of the United States, and to extend our trade and in- fluence to this propositicn, to the end that the protective system now in operation shall be so modified as to remove any in- justice or inequity.” This association will hold a meeting this fall in Chicago, when it is expected that Mr. Lubin’s plan will be indorsed. Mr. Lubin is very much encouraged at his success thus far. Having enlisted numerous ship-builders, prominent among them being the Cramps of Philadelphia, he will, after speaking in Virginia, go to Pennsylvania, and while there endeavor to gain converts and recruits among iron manufacturers. Then' he will go to Mis- souri and Illinois. Mr. Lubin said to a CaLL correspondent to-night: “The plan is not only making very strong headway among farmers of the different sections, but among business men as well as men of highest National reputa- tion.” THE SITUATI UNCHANGED. Crowds of Politicians in Evidence at the Havrrisburg Convention. HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. 25.—The hotels here are beginning to have a State Convention appearance. Decorations and crowds of politicians are always in evi- dence about this time. Ex-Senator Thomas V. Cooper, Congressman Jack Robinson, David Martin and other well- known leaders are here and large delega- tions are expected to-morrow. There is practically no change in the sitnation respecting the condition of the convention, each side claiming a majority. Governor Hastings has sent the follow- ing letter to each delegate: HARRISBURG, Aug. 25/ My Dear Sir: 1would be greatly pleased if you could arrange to be in Harrisburg on Tuesday morning next, the day before the convention, and I would be glad if you would call upon me as soon as convenient after your arrival. I feel confiaent that I will be abie to convince you that the present contest to be de- termined by the State convention is not one of my seeking, that it has been precipitated upon me and my administration because I refused to break my pledged ‘word in regard to the ap- portionment of the State, and furthermore be- ceuse I declined to withdraw my support from Colonel Gilkeson for re-election to the chairmanship of the State Commit- tee. 1 was for him when the party leaders of tke State were for him, and I have not changed my attitude. Iam strongly of the opinion that the best interests of the party will be served by Colonel Gilkeson’s re-election to the chairmanship of the State Committee, His services to the party in the last two cam- lelgns are the best proof of his ability as a eader. With the kindest regards, I am, very truly, yours, ASTINGS. DANIEL H. ————— CHILE'S STRANGE ACTION. A British Captain Claims He Was Driven From an Island. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 25.—A strange story was brought to Philadelphia to-day by Captain Quick of the British steamer Stuart, who claims that he was driven from a guano island in the South Pacific Ocean by the Chilean ironclad war- ship Esmeralda. Captain Quick says the Stuart had been ordered to proceed to the islands, which are known asthe Lobos de Apeure, to load guano for Liverpool. e had taken aboard 190 tons when the Esmeralda came in sight and ordered the Stuart to leave. He weighed anchor and bore away to Callao, 200 miles distant. The reason assigned for the order from the Esmeralda was that Peru owned the islands until a short time ago, when they were seized for a war debt owed to Chile. Captain Quick says the Esmeralda demol- ished the dock used to load guano by ayn- amite. Railroad tracks were torn up and the work of years was laid waste. The few residents of the island were made pris- oners of war aboard the warship, which bore away for Valparaiso. The report of the whole affair was sent by Captain Quick to the offices of the English Government. e 3 Killed by a Trolley Car. GRAND RAPIDS, Micu., Aug, 25— George F. Legge, editor of the Sunfield Sun, was instantly killed in this city this even- ing by jumping off an electric car in front of anotiner going in an ofigomte direction at a high rate of speed. s body was cut in two and horribly mangled. UNCLE SAMS SHIPS Superiority ot Cruisers Over Those of Other Nations. THIS SHOWN AT KIEL, One Speedy Performance That Greatly Astonished Em- peror William. ENGINES QUICKLY UNCOUPLED. To Perform the Same Feat Re- quired Fifteen Times as Long On a British Vessel. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 25.—An un- ofhcial report to the Secretary of the Navy, recently received, contains further evi- dence of the general superiority of the new ships of the United States Navy over the best of the navies of ‘the European coun- tries, especially those of Great Britain. Mention has been already made of the fact that at the Kiel celebration, at mid- night, without a moment’s warning or preparation, the engines of one of the ves- sels were coupled and uncoupled at the re- quest of Emperor William, who was spend- ing the evening on board, the whole operation requiring but two minutes and forty-five seconds, greatly to his Majesty’s astonishment. Dut it has not been pub- lished that the same operation on board the cruiser Blake, the crack ship of the British navy, at drill, when every prepara- tion had been made for it, required thirty- three minutes for its performance. Another thing which elicited expressions of praise and astonishment from the offi- cial visitors to the Columbia at Kiel was the condition and appearance of the vessel so soon after its trial trip. Everything, to their surprise, was found to be in ship- shape. After the Blake had undergone her trial trip, it is said, months were required to put her in order, the machinery baving racked so in that ordeal, and it was diffi- cult for visitors to the Columbia to under- stand how the American ship had sp speedily been put 1n condition. The report further stated that the ma- chinery in the Blake was to be torn out and that she was to be practically recon- structed, aithough still one of the new ves- sels of the Brit; RE-INFORCEMENTS FOR CUBANS. Several Steamers Heavily Laden With War Stores on the Way. LONDON, Exg., Aug. 25.—The Standard will to-morrow publish a Madrid dispatch saying that the concentration of re-inforce- ments for Cuba is proceeding rapidly throughout the kingdom. Several heavily laden steamers belonging to the Spanish Trans-Atlantic line started from Barcelona, Santander, Coruna and Cadiz for Cuba dur- ing the past week. Eight thousand cavalry, forming the first body of a total of 30,000, will be landed in Cuba before September 20. Though Captain-General Campos de- clared that 30,000 would be sufficient the Government will prepare 25,000 more, who will embark at the end of October if their services should be necessary. The cost of war in Cuba up to the present time has been $20,000,000. Since February transport service alone has cost $1,600,000. Official advices received in Madrid from Havana are to the effect that in several recent encounters the Government troops have been successful. On August 22 fifty-nine soldiers repulsed 350 men led by Maceo, who made an at- tack on the Union Sugar Works. The Government loss was one killed. ST. LOUIB, Mo., Aug. 25.—A special from the City of Mexico says: The Noticcerro states that there exists in this city a Central Mexican committee with the denomination of Cuba Libre, whose object isto aid the patriotsof that island in secur- ing their independence. It adds that per- sons of good character and armed with proper documents, clothing them with the character of special agents, will person- ally be engaged in the matter of raising recruits and supplies for Cuba. L P A ESPIONAGE LAW IS BARBAROTUS. The United States Will Protect Ex-Consul Waller. LONDON, ExG., Aug. 25.—The Daily News will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Paris saying: The Waller affair ought to show the French the danger of their revised espionage laws. The United States will protect this convicted spy as firmly as if he were a white man. The spy law, as it stands, is barbarous. It was devised by General Boulanger when he was fishing for popularity. France ought to be obliged to the United States for giving this demon- stration of its evils. The Under-Foreign Secretary of the United States is now here and he has been telling Embassador Eustis what the public expected him to do. Rep- resentations were made to the Government and passes were immediately given to the Embassador to enable him or his repre- sentative to_visit Clairvaux prison, where Mr. Waller is confined, on Sunday. It is believed; that the court-martial that sen- tenced Mr. Waller will be disavowed if the United States makes out a good case. B Sl ONE MORE CHINESE OUTRAGE. Spanish Priests Murdered by a Mob at Hoyun. LONDON, Exc., Aug. 25.—A dispatch to the Central News, from Shanghai, says that the latest victims of the anti-foreign feel- ing, are two Spanish priests, who have been murdered by a Chinese mob at Hoyun. The Times to-morrow will publish a dispatch from Shanghai saying that the inquiry into the massacre of missionaries at KuCheng has been proceeding since ‘Wednesday. All the members of the Con- sular commission have been present, but progress hasbeen slow. The dispatch adds that a Mohammedan rebellion has broken out in Kan-Su, the most northwestern province in China, and is spreading. The situation is serious. g PAYS FOR THE CHILDREN. Princess Colonna Makes a Cash Settle- ment With Her Husband: - NAPLES, Irary, Aug.25.—The repre- sentative here of The United Press learns that the settlement that has been arrived at between Prince and Princess Colonna, the latter being the stepdaughter of John W. Mackay, gives the Princess the cus- tody of the children, she paying the Prince the sum of 60,000 francs yearly. ARl < PUNISHED A DUELIST. A Mexican Judge Imposed Heavy Penalty on Colonel Romero. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 25.—A special from City of Mexico says: Colonel Romero was convicted to-day for unlawfully killing Verastegui in a duel. The Judge sentenced him to prison for three years and four months at hard labor; to pay all the costs of the trial; to pay Verastegui’s funeral expenses; to pay a fine of $1800 or serve three months more in prison and to &ay in monthly installments to Verastegui's widow ‘and children $4500 annually for eighteen years. 'he jury by a unanimous vote absolved Dr. Preciado, the attending gur%eon. and by varying majorities lc(};me all the seconds in the duel, also_General Rocha, the judge of the field. Judge de la Hose said he could not consent to a verdict in their cases contrary to the law and the evidence. Therefore he suspended it and sent the case of those wvarties to the Superior Court for revision. It is believed that the court will set aside the verdictand impose exemplary sentences. —_— - The Infernal Machine’s Victim. PARIS, Fraxce, Aug, 25.—M. Jacobsky, the confidential clerk of Baron Alphonse de Rothschilds, who was badly injured yesterday by the explosion of an infernal machine that had been sent to the Baron by post, is progressing as well as could be expected. The doctors attending him per- formed an operation this evening and hope to be able to save his eyesight. The Pre- fect of Police, who was absent from Paris op a holiday, returned to the city as soon as he heard of the outrage. He is direct- ing the inquiries that are being made into the case. L German Catholic Congress. MUNICH, GermaNy, Aug. 25. — The forty-second general assembly of German Catholics met here this afternoon in the festival hall of the City Brewery. The at- tendance was larger than expected. Many of the Centrist members of the Reichstag were present. Count Presyingfproposed a toast to the Pope, which was followed by a toast to the Prince Regent of Bavaria and Emperor William. These toasts were drunk with all the honors. It is stated tbat the congress will not allow Herr von Hertlin, a member of the Austrian Reichsrath, to read the paper he has prepared on Papal- ism and the Roman question. fren iR Signor Boscow Elected. ROME, Iravy, Aug. 25.—A by-election for a member of the Chamber of Deputies held in Palermo to-day resuited in the re- turn of Signor Boscow, who is now in prison for his connection with the late so- cialist disturbances. SAM JONES' HOT' TALK. At Asbury Park the Noted Evangelist Spcke in His Usual Style. Parkhurst’s Work in New York Eu- logized and Old Party Poll- ticians Denounced. ASBURY PARK, Aug. 25.—Rev. Samuel Jones was the star attraction at Asbury Park to-day. He preached morning and evening in Educational Hali. The morning text was “For God so Loved the World,’ etc. He spoke of parental love and told how much greater was God’s love to his children. He said in part: i Woman, if you play cards and don’t want your son to be & gambler, you are a fool. If I got a telegram from my oldest son to-day say- ing that my wife had a progressive euchre party or geve & wine supper last night, I would wire back to my son, “Watch mother; she must be demented.’” A gambler worth hundreds of thousands will go to New York and nearly every one will bow to him. Let an angel of God visit- New York and try to get away without paying his board bill and the police department will be called out and told to stand guard over heaven and intercept that angel when he tried to enter the celestial eity. The whole manhood of America is trying to_ hunt up an easy job. I like the man who has corns on his hands as big as nickels, for that man knows what work is. _ | 1f we can get'the saloon-keepers of New York on the run we can clean liquor out of the country. The rum-subsidized editors say we cannot keep the saloons closed on Sunday; that the laboring-man hasgot to have his beer. They said to Parkhurst: “You're a liar; you have disgraced yourself; you’re a failure.” But he went up, up and up, until Superinten ent Byrnes was compelled to put in his res nation. It's funny to see the prayers of As- bury Park and Ocean Grove trying to run out the devil. It reminds me of the dcg chasin the hog—the dog was in front. The devil knows a\al he has got control of the country as long as the Republicans and Democrats are in power. Men, if you don't change your politics pretty soon you aufim o tell your wife “’,F“" your summer clothes in your coffin. The World’s kair was not all that it was adyertised, for the managers claimed to have the prod- duets of the world. Did they have the prod- uects of the liguor trafic? Isuggest that they ought to have exhibited forty red-nosed bums in a glass case. Asbury Park could then be represented. L POWERS’ MURDERER IDENTIFIED. Bandit Smalley, the Grand Rapids Train Robber, Was the Assassin. GRAND RAPIDS, MicH.,, Aug. 25— John Smalley, who was shot and in- stantly killed by Deputy Sheriffs McBain and Spoftord last night, was identified co- day by Detective Jacob Way as the man who murdered Detective George W. Pow- ers aboard the Grand Rapids and Indiana train Wednesday niiht while it was leav- ing this city north bound. Way was on the train when the shooting took place. The circumstances of the killing of Bandit Smalley were as follows: Sheriff Dunham of Missaukee County };ot word yesterday afternoon that two of the train robbers were thought to be near McBain, about fiiteen miles from Cadillac City. Dunham and Deputies Spofford and Troy started at once for McBain, Spofford with a team and Troy with a railroad velocipede. Spofford reached McBamn about 8 o'clock last night and started with several men to look for the man, : They located him at the house of his brother-in law, Lipsmith, and called upon him to open the door, which he did. When he saw Spofford and McBain armed with Winchesters he pulled a revolver from his hip-pocket. Before he could shoot, two bullets from the guns of Spofford and McBain had avenged the murder of Powers, and he feil dead. < 3 The dead man carried a satchel in which were several revolvers and a large sum of money. The body was taken in charge by the Coroner. — LEAVES THE SANTA FE. General Solicitor Peck Will Go to the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. CHICAGO, Irn., Aug. 25.—George R. Peck has tendered his resignation of the office of general solicitor of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad to Receiv- ers McCook and Waler and the same has been accepted. E.D. Kennell of St. Louis, who has held the position of general attor- ney of the Frisco road, part of the Santa Fe system, has been appointed successor . Peck. The matter was acted upon g the visit of Receiver McCook and other officials of the system to this city en route to Topeka to attend the foreclosure proceedings before Judge Caldwell. The party left this evening. 5 It is stated on reliable authority that Mr. Peck has been given the position of gen- eral counsel of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road, which has been vacant since the death of John W. Carey, several months ago, although the St. Paul officers W_olild not confirm or deny the story last night. —_——— TRAIN WRECK NEAK PULASKI, Two Tramps Were Killed Under the Depmolished Cars. OSWEGO, N. Y., Aug. 25.—Early to-day as a freight train on the Rome, Water- town and Ogdensburg Railroad, consisting of forty-one cars, was nearing Pulaski, it broke in two on a down grade. The rear section crashea into the forward section, making a fearful and fatal wreck. Fifteen loaded cars were completely demolished. The train hands escaped injury, but two tramps who had been stealing a ride were badly hurt, The damage is estimated at between $15,000 and $20,000. MISLEDTHE EMPEROR, German Officials Say American Papers Exaggerated. FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR. Further Fetes Commemorative of That Conflict Will Be Held in Berlin. A RIOT NARROWLY AVERTED. Soldlers and Unarmed Civillans Had a Hand-to-Hand Conflict at Spandau. BERLIN, GErMANy, Aug. 25.—Misled by the exaggerations of the American newspapers, which représented that about 2000 German-American veterans of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 were coming here to take partin the fetes commemorative of that conflict the German officials, acting under the orders of the Kaiser, prepared to give them a reception which should be ofa national character. The Emperor exvected that about two regiments of these veterans would parade before him and would have made a special occasion of his reception of them. Official information has since been received, however, which shows that the promised 2000 men have dwindled down to about 210. Although the official and public reéeption of these veterans will be of the most cordial character the officials feel that the small number will not justify a national demonstration in their honor and the programme contemplated will in consequence be very much modified. Nevertheless all Germany knows that the German-American veterans represent an immense mass of the men who fought in the war of 1870 that are now in America and will accord to each and every one of them a splendid reception. It is proposed by the Berlin city author- ities that the veterans shall first parade before the United States Embassy as a mark of recognition of their transfer of citizenship, but a final decision upon this question has been reserved. In the mean- time it has been definitely arranged that the veterans arriving at Bremerhaven shall be welcomed by the local Kreiger Verein (war society), upon which occasion a festival march, especially composed by Conductor Kalbitz of Chicago, will be played as the men disembark. The vet- erans will then march through the city to the warriors’ memorial monument, where they will deposit wreaths. From the mon- ument they will march to the Burger Parx, where they will be entertained at a special concert and later at a banquet. The park will be gorgeously illuminated, and no pains will be spared to make the occasion a memorable one. Each veteran will also receive a memorial medal from the Bremen Senate. Upon the arrival of the veterans at Berlin United States Em- bassador Runyon will deliver to them a speeca in reply to an address which will be presented to him by the veterans. In his speech Mr. Runyan will receive the men as citizens of the United States and not as societies of German soldiers taking part in the fetes commemorative of the war of 1870. This will involve a deli- cate task, inasmuch as the Embassador will have to avoid wounding the feelings of the French, and consequently it will be necessary for him to make very diplomatic reference to the occasion of their coming, failure to mention which would, on the other hand, be extremely likely to of- fend the Germans. The Americau vet- erans throughout their stay in Germany, from the moment of their landing, will be the guests of the German vetersns, Since the celebration of the various events of the war of 1870 began nothing has so strengthened the assurance of the German public that German command of the Reichstag is a proper safeguard against the recurrence of war between Germany and France, as the testimony given by the French press in regard to the progress of the change of feeling which has been developed in Alsace. The French press, unhampered by German op nion, have in- stituted free inquiry and their own reports of their investigations are now reproduced here. The correspondent of the Paris Matin sent to his paper a report of an interview with the Alsatian member of the Reich- stag, Abbe Guerber, who was for yearsa bitter opponent of German absorption of the Reichstand provinces. M. Guerber says: “We accept accomplished facts with the reluctant conviction that it would do no good to nourish hopes of restoring the Reichstand to France—come what may, France will be beaten and possibly extinguished. Germany will never assent to the abandonment of an inch of the ter- ritory of the Reichstand.” M. Petri, Deputy from the Strasbourg District, to the Landosauschuss similarly advises his French friends to accept the facts as they are. *“The hour of resigna- tion has struck,” says M. Petri. “Stras- bourg has prosperity under the German regime such as she has never known under the French. A majority of the inhabitants of the Reichstand wish to remain in the status quo.” M. Zornde Butach, an Alsatian member of the Reichstag, says: *‘Just now official opinion is less worth observance, but it is still something, as it is comparatively un- tainted politically. The Alsatians have no complaint to make of their treatment at the hands of Germany. We have done nothing to become Germans and we don’t want to become French at the expense of war.” The sum of the whole testimony gath- ered by the French press is that the Reich- stand will be henceforth almost purely German in sentiment and aspirations. The celebration of the greeting of the delegates to the Catholic congress, which will begin its sessions in Munich to-mor- row, was held in the festival hall, city brewery, in that city this evening. Count Preizing proposed a toast to the Pope (Dom Captular). Herr Stiglohr toasted the Prince Regent of Bavaria and Raths Councilor Rumpst toasted the Emperor. The Burgomaster delivered an address of welcome to the congress on behalf of the city of Munich.

Beyond these stated events there will also be meetings of other unions at other places which will be made known later. Included in the list of speakers before the congress is Herr Schirmer, alocksmith, whose paper on behalf of Catholic work- ingmen’s union may be regarded asthe most important utterances of the congress. Count Szchy will speak upon the position of the Catholic church in Hungary. Ex-Chancellor Caprivi has invited the German-America veterans to visit him after their visit to Prince Bismarck. The veterans will be the guestsof the Leipsic Central Veteranen Bundfest when they are in Berlin, when both the Leipsic and the American veterans will be the guests of the Berlin Central Veteranen Bund. Amid the general repose of European politics, due to the wholesale dipolomatic vacations, the disturbing feature of events is the return of Prince Ferdinand to Sofia. Emperor William recently sent an agent to Sofia to report to him in regard to the connection of the Stoiloff Government with the murder of ex-Premier Stambou- loff. This official has reported that there isno possible chance of tracking the murderers while the Coburg-Stoiloff regime isin ex- istence. The legal court at Sofia, the agent says, has refused to hear any charges con- necting Prince Ferdinand with the murder of Stambouloff, although the counsel pre- senting the charges offered to call wit- nesses who would swear that the Coburger Ferdinand induced them to murder Stam- bouloff, the Prince’s protector. Throwing off the last vestige of decency Prince Ferdinand is now supporting the municipal authorities in Sofia in the action in ordering Stambouloff’s widow to deliver to the police a ground plan of the house and a- plan of the grounds of the estate left by her husband. The heat has been almost bevond endur- ance throughout the week. Twenty soldiers were prostrated with sunstroke during a march from Zossen to Potsdam on Thurs- day, and three persons died from the effects of the heat in the stores. Ex-Chancellor Caprivi dined on Thurs- day with Mrs. William Walter Phelps, widow of the former United States Minis- ter to Germany, at the Hotel Bristoi. The only persons pressnt were the ex-Chan- cellor, Mrs. Phelps, Mrs. von Rottenberg, her daughter, Miss Boardman and Dr. von Rottenberg. Count Caprivi said that he was now feeling happier than he had ever felt in his life. He bad been greatly rejoiced, he said, at receiving a telegram from the Emperor on the “anniversary day’” of the battle of Gravelotte. He ex- pressed himself as being perfectly con- tented in his retirement at Skal, where he was in daily companionship with two old: comrades, who, like himself, had definitely resigned, especially from polities. A riot between soldiers and civilians oc- curred in a dancing saloon in Spandau Friday night. The girls present preferred the company of the soldiers, and this was resented by the civilians. The soldiers drew their swords and the civilians used glasses, chairs, etc., as weapons. In the ‘melee the orchestra stand was completely wrecked and the musicians wese put to flight. The soldiers finally drove the civilians out. A number of the combat- ants were wounded, some of whom were conveyed to the hospital. In the tennis matches played at Ham- burg yesterday, the gentleman’s single match was won by Forbes and the gentle- man’s double by the Turner brothers. The single handicap was won by Turner. The ladies and gentlemen’s double handicap was won by the Grand Duchess of Meck- lenburg-Schwerin and Count Vossbenau. The second round was won by Miss Coster and Mr. Forbes. The ladies’ single handi- cap, first round, was won by Miss Pollin and the second round by Miss Vignelles. Leberecht Von Kotze, formerly Chamber- lain of the Emperor’s household, has begun an action for libel and slander against Baron Von Schrader. The case will be heard in October. On August 18 the Emp- eror sent a pardon to Von Kotze, who was confined in the fortress at Glatzerving on on a three months’ sentence for fighting a duel with Baron Von Schrader. The pardon was granted in consideration of Von Kotze’s gallantry in the war of 1870, when he rode in the brigade of Brodow in the famous charge at Mars La Tour. The Emperor has refused to incorporate in the musical programmeon ‘‘Sedan Day” the song of the Aegiar. Among the Americans here are Colonel Jackson of Chicago, Senator Smith of Néw Jersey, Mrs. W. Kingsley and Frederick Roosevelt of New York, Mr. Sumner Clark of Peoria, Illinois, and Mr. and Mrs. R. Ashton Lawrence of Boston. Embassador Runyon and Mrs. Runyon will leave for Herinsort on the Baltic to o their daughier, Mrs. Hawkins. LEAKS 1IN THE BOILER. Young ILoeschner Tells Amother Yarn About the Denver Explosion. ANTONITO, Coro., Aug. 25.—Elmer Loeschner, the Gumry Hotel engineer, has made another statement in connection with the condition of the boiler and fur- nace-prior to the explosion. He says the boiler was in bad condition and three months ago an inspector came to the hotel. He told Gumry that if he did not take out the flues in ten days he would shut. down the house: Gumry said the time was too short and had a talk with some one at the City Hall. . ‘When he returned he said he **had fixed that fellow,”” and soon after the inspector was discharged. When repairs were made the work was not done right and the flues leaked. DENVER, Coro., Aug. 25.—Loeschner’s statements made in Antonito are not be- lieved 3 many here. The beiler-maker who made the repairs declares that after fifteen years’ work in Denver his work- manship cannot be questioned by a boy. Many who knew Gumry’s characteristics are inclined to believe thal he went into the boiler-room after Loeschner departed that fatal night and turned on the water, eansh:g the explosion. The fact that umry’s body was badly mutilated and his head entirely gone leads to this con- clusion. Loeschner will be brought back to testify at the inquuk.but he cannot be held for the t. Gumry left no Iivhihuhfivu many legal com tions over the settlement of his estate will ensue. A number of suits will be filed against the estate. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Fifteen Bannocks Slain by Cattlemen in Oregon. WERE KILLING CATTLE. Stockmen Retaliated by At- tacking the Camp of the Reds. SQUAWS AMONG THE DEAD. The Whites Led by “Rye” Smith, Long a Terror to the Braves. BURNS, Ok., Aug. 25.—A courier from Diamond Valley reports the killing of fif- teen Bannocks by cattlemen under the leadership of “Rye’” Smith. Smith's reason was revenge for the murder of his father in 1878 in Diamond Valley. There is great excitement in the town and throughout the county. Troop A is ready to march on short notice and is awaiting orders from the County Sheriff for authority to act. While particulars are difficult to obtain it is learned that the matter has no bearing on the Jacksons Hole troubles. Ever since Smith’s father was killed in 1878 by warriors of the Ban- nock tribe he has been on their trail and not a few have met death at his hands. It seems that a party of Indians were on a summer hunt near Diamond Valley and killed a number of cattle belonging to the stockmen whose herds pasture in that vi- cinity. A party of cattlemen were organ- ized to punish the marauders and Smith readily undertook to lead them. The pursuers located the Indians about an hour before sundown at their camp near the western edge of the valley and without warning opened fire on them. The Indian bucks were thrown into a panic and fled for the hills, the squaws following suit. The stockmen pursned them and fired a volley at the fugitives, dropping several of them, including one or two squaws. The pursuit was not continued, the cattle- men believing sufficient punishment had been inflicted. The courier reports fifteen dead Indians after this one-sided battle. FURTHERK DETAILS NOT LEARNED.

Her father, A. C. Edmunds, a’ well-known business man, strenuonsiy objected to her going downtown evenings and frequently meeting young men and women of her ac- quaintance. g Last night Mr. Edmunds, failing to se- cure obedience by persuasive arguments, attempted to corral his daughter in the parental mansion. The young lady broke a window and forced her way out. Father and daughter engaged in a lively srim- mage before a big crowd of spectators. The girl broke away and ran down the street, ollowed by her father, who caught her arm. A wrestling match followed. Miss Carrie jerked loose from her father’s grasp, ani Len smashed him in both eyes, and fol- lowed this up with a blow on the jaw. The police were telephoned for, but when the officers arrived the cause of excitement had subsided. Mr. Edmunds is nursing his black eyes and Miss Carrie is doing as she pleases. —_——— Riotous Life of a Portland Heir, PORTLAND, Ozk., Aug. 25.—Paul A, » Kinzel, aged twenty-eight years, who' about six years ago inherited $50,000 from his father here, has_gone to South Africa to retrieve a squandered fortune.
