THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 21, 1896. GOSSIP FAOM THE CASER'S REALM, The Civil Code Bill Still Under Debate in the Reichstag. RADICAL OBSTRUCTION. Li Hung Chang Being Feted and Fawned Upon at Berlin. EMPERCR SHOWERING HONORS. German Officers to Reorgamiz: the Chinese Army—Many Persons Prostrated by Sunstroke. BERLIN, GErMANY, June 20.—The de- bate on the second reading of the Gov- ernment bill reforming the civil code w. begun in the Reichstag yesterday. vrevious sittings of the chamber since the | reassembling of the Reichstag after the Whitsuntide recess have generally dto present a quorum, but when the question of the second reading of the civil code was taken up a fairly good house assembled. The Government is convinced that a ma- jority of the opposition has hoped to retard the passage of the measure by prolonging the discussion of the bill and seizing every ty to ‘‘count out” whenever they become weary of discussion or the house does not contain a quorum; the house opport but the Government supporters are alive to these tactics and have managed to foil the opposition in their resort to them. Dr. von Boetticlier, vice-president of the Council of Ministers, stated in reply to a question asked by Dr. Rinteln, Centerist, at yesterday's sitting, that the Federal Gov- ernment hoped that the civil code bill would be passed at the present session, after which Prince Hohenlohe, the Im- Chancellor, would announce the nment of the Reichstag. r Richter, Radical, moved to elimi- nate from the order of the aay the whole of the civil code bill, saying that accord- ing to the belief of his s on, as well as the opposition of the F inings, the measurs was bad and beyond the possi- y bility of being mended. ~Herr Richter added that he well knew that the House would r e his motion, but as a matter of principle he would offer a similar mo- tion at each subsequent sitting. T ist, Conservative and Natio Liberal speakers protested against such ion on the part of Herr Richter. T Boetticher expressed the hope that this great National legislative work (the passage of the civil code bill) would be finished within the year marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the empire. Herr Richter's motion was rejected, six members supporting it, ixty voted againstit. The Frei- -Socialist opposition to the bill is clalists, Freisinnigs and a ti-Semites. The Berlin newspapers are filled with reference to the presence in Berlin of Li Hung Chang, the Chinese Viceroy, and Field Marshal Yamagata, commander-in- chief of the Japanese army, who came here from Moscow, where they represented their respective Governments at the cor nation of Czar Nicholas II. Li Hu Chang had a conference lasting two h with Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, Minister of Foreign Affairs, yesterday which gave rise to ramors of the cornclu- sion of a definite Chino-German agree- ment whereby China cedes a coaling sta- tion and grants land concessions to Ger- many to increase the Chinese customs. The Post assumes to confirm these ru- mors, but the report is nevertheless dis- credited in diplomatic quarters wherein the extent of Li Hunz's powers to treat with foreign Governments is best known. The Emperor has showered honors upon Li Hung Chang, believing that the Viceroy is still In possession of great influence with the Pekin Government, and is abie to forward German industrial enterprises in Chbina. What is known as an absolutecer- tainty in regard to Li Hung Chang, how- is that he 1s ready to accept money eve w0 help the Pekin Government from any | one who is ready to lend. The Vie remarked toan American gentleman whose acquaintance he formed in Moscow and whom he again met in that he would be glad to place for the construction of warships hing of munitions of war in nited States, if he could negotiate a n with American bankers. Li Hung Chang hass-en several of the leading Berlin financiers and talked over prospects of another Chinese loan, but conclusion was reached, nor has the iceroy given any definite orders to Ger- man firms. Li will visit Kiel as the guest of the Kaiser and will inspect the Em- peror’s new racing yacht Meteor. From Kiel he will gzo to Hamburg and visit the fortress. A Chinese fete was given in honor of Li 1 Chang at the Berlin exhibition, and eroy has received from the the first Berlin, ti n 1 a son of the the crown order of While Li Hung Chang was being feted and fawned upon Marquis Yamagata kept n the background all the time he was in little, and He went out very ent specialist, in regard to an in- ) compldint which has been increas- since his campaign in Marshal Yamagata declared that d no official mission anywhere, and vanted to be quiet, After his recep- the Kaiser on Thursday Marquis a started for Brussels. ung Chung has obtained the sanc- i of the Emperor to his employment of Colonel Liebert and a hundred other Ger- man officers to reorganize the Chinese army. Prince Birmarck’s chef de cuisine, Herr Leichau, was arrested on Wedunesday 1n the kitchen of the ex-Chancellor’s resi- dence at Freidrichsruhe, on a charge of embezzlement. He was taken to Altona and put in jail. A search of his lodgings resuited in the finding of a large number of stolen articles. The heat within the last few days has been intense and many persons have been prostrated by sunstroke and taken to the hopital.

HONOLULU, Hawan, June 12.—Presi- dent Dole to-day signed the income tax bill—all incomes above $2000 taxed 1 per | cent.

PAUL, Mix June 20.—A shock- ing tragedy took pl. in this city at an early hour this morning. William Scheft- ner shot and fatally wounded his son Paul and then kiiled himself. Scheffner had been on a protracted soree, and when he reached his home thiz morn- iug wasin an_ugly humor. He at once began quarreling with his wife, who tried | in vain to pacify him. Suddenly drawing a revolver he fired at the frightened woman, but she saw his in- tention in time and fled. The bullet missed its intendel mark. Sheran from | the hohse screaming for help. Then Scheffner, now i1 a frenzied con- dition, fired at his son Paul.

Pointing the weapon at his own head he sent a ball crashing into his brain, and | fell dead beside his fatally injured son. ! 3 COLORADO MINERY STRIKE., Over Fifteen Hundred Men HKefuse to Work. LEADVILLE, Coro., June 2 As a re- sult of the determination of the Miners’ Union to advance wages from $250 to $3 per day, over 1500 men are idle, some on strike and others because the operators have closed down pending the difficuity. The strike began about midnight, quietly and without public notice. | The miners affected are the Bon Air, | Weldon, Bohu, Alps, Penrose, Coronadao, Maid of Erin, Henrietta, Wolitone, | Marian, Small Hopes and El Paso men. The trammers at the Little Johnny are also king for the same advance and though the underground men. there are | receiving $3, the strike of the trammers | compels them to come out, closing that great nroperty. The Turbot closed down | to-night, by order of the manager, though there the miners get the advanced price. | Nothing is publicly said about the | 1ssue of recognizing the union and com-| | velling the discharge of non-union men, | | but the operators in holding out against the | | demanded advance; claim that they can- | not afford to recognize the Miners’ Union. A conference will be held immediately and strong efforts will be made to effect a | compromise. The camp is quiet and | orderly. The pump men, engineers and | remen are still at work, but should they conclude to go out, the mine-owners will | saffer an untold financial loss by the flood- | ing of the properties. Should the opera- | the pumps and let the mines fill with | water. | S S | HAMILTON THE FICIOR. He Beat Hackenberger, the Denver Won- der, Twice in Une Day. DENVER, Coro., June 20. — W. W. Hamilton was the victor in the two great races of to-day. Hackenberger failed to make good the assertions of his friends that he could eclipse Hamilton in any kind of a race. His friends declare that he was too contident owing to his easy victory over Hamilton in the twenty-five mile race of yesterday, and they maintain that Le will yet prove his powers on short distance races. Hamilton won the unpaced mile stand- ing start in 2:09 3-5, establishing a new world’s record, Hackenberger losing by five feet. The other race was a two-mile standing start paced by a quad. Hamilton | held on to the guad until the stretch of | the last lap was reached, when he made a | magnificent spurt, finishing ahead of the | guad in 3 , also a new world’s record. ackenberger let Hamilton pace him, but failed to get up a spurtin time to catch the other man. An immense crowd witnessed the con- tests to-day, and the betting was very heavy. Bl THE WARER STATUE Will Be Unveiled in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, on the Fourth. NEW YORK, N.
