THE SAN FRANCISCO C'ALL,‘ MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1896 WILL THE CZAR VISIT BERLIN? The All-Absorbing . Ques- tion at the German Capital. ANXIETY AND JEALOUSY In Cafes and Otber Public Piaces the Subject Is Much Discussed. IMPERIAL PARTY'S ITINERARY Grand Fetes and Military Displays Are in Preparation at Vienna and Breslan. [Copyrighted, 1898, by the United Associated Presses.] BERLIN, GerMANY, Aug. 16.—The ques- tion which is now agitating the minds of the inhabitants of the German cavital is, Will the Uzar come to Berlin? Up to this time it has merely been officially an- nounced that the Czar and Czarina will be the guests of the Emperor at Breslau and Goerlitz, but as Vienna and Paris will be the scenes of elaborate receptions to the Russian autocrat and his consort, the Ber- liners are jealously anxious lest the Czar and Czarina should be slighted here. The Berlin and provincial newspapers are variously discussing the question and the matter is the subject of much argument in the cafes and other public places. Some of the newspapers in the course of their articles point out the advantages of Bres- lau as the scene of the reception of the Czar in Germany, while the others assume & pessimistic tone and declare their belief that it is the intention of the Russian Em- peror to come here, but to give to his visit an aspect of minor importance as com- pared with his visits to the Austrian and French capitals. This sorf. of thing has aroused the leaders of the official circles, as evidenced by an inspired article in the Cologne Gazette, which not only sharply rebukes the grumblers, but is seemingly intended to give positive intimation to the public ibat it is not tke intention of Nicholas II to visit the city of Berlin at all and has not been from the first. The paper makes no direct announcement to this effect, bowever, and the whole matter probably awaits the definite decision of the Czar. There has been a prolonged series of communications between the German and Russian Cabinetsin regard to the sequence of visits proposed by the Czar, and itis generally presumed that full and final arrangements have been concluded. Some time ago a tentative commuaication from a Russian source suggested that the Czar should make visits to Vienna, Munich and Darmstadt, prior to his weeting the Kaiser, but tbis programme was in no way acceptable to Emperor William, who set the diplomatic Ministers to work to effect the changes which he desired made in the Czar’s itinerary. The result of the efforts of diplomacy was that the Russian Cabinet maintained their contention that Vienna must take precedence over the German capital, inas- much as Emperor Franz Josef’s was the older imperial court, Berlin coming next. This view of the matter was acquiesced in by the Emperor, and according to the existing arrangements the Cgar will start from Krasnoe-Selo on August 24, accom- Runied by Prince Lobanoff Rostovsky, the ussian Minister of Foreign Affairs; Count Vorontzoff-Daunhkoff, Chief of the Ministry of the Imperial House and Im- perial Domains, and six other attendayts of exalted rank. | The customary extreme precaution will be taken in the matter of guarding the railroads over which the imperjal party will pass and in protecting his Majesty at other pointsalong the route. Upon the arrival of the Czar at Vienna he will be re- ceived at the station by Emperor Franz Josef in_person, wono will conduct tie Russian Emperor to the Hofburg Palace, The programme for the entertainment of the Czar in Vienna includes a grand state performance of *‘Manon” at the Im- erial Opera-house, and a concert at the ofburg Palace on the following day. Be- fore finally leaving Austria the Czar will pay a visit to the_ex-Queen of Hanover and the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland at Gmunden. The Czar and Czarina will arrive at Breslau on September 5, and 1the German Emperor and Empress, with a brilliant assemblage of princes and other notabili- ties, will greet them at the station, where a guard of honor consisting of the Em- peror Alexander of Russia’s Grenadiers, of which the Czar Nicholas 1I is the chief, will await them. This regiment; together with the Second Regiment of Dragoon Guards, of which her Majesty the Czar- ina is the chief, has been ordered to Bres- lau especially for the occasion. In addi- tion to these troops, 14,000 veterans will form a double line through which the Czar and ‘Czarina and their suites will pass upon leaving the station. The two days of the visit of the Russian Emperor and Emvress to Breslau will be largely taken up by military reviews and parades, in the course of which the Czar and Czarina will lead their respective reviments past the Kaiser. A gay per- formance will be given in the theater in honor of the visitorson the evening of September 6. Among the personages of note who are expected to assemble at Breslau to take vart in the honors to the Russian Emperor ana Empress are the King of Saxony; Prince Albrecht, Regent of Brunswick; Prince Heinrich; the Count of Turin, nephew of King Humbert of Italy; Prince Albert of Belgium; repre- sentatives of the courts of Bavaria and Whurtemberg; Captain R. K. Evans, mili- tary attache to the United States em- bassy; attaches to the other foreign em- bassies and lecations fin Berlin; the Earl of Lonsdale and Lord Charles Beresford. On_the morning of September 7 all of the imperial guests will go to Goerlitz, where there will be more military parades and maneuvers. -On the evening of Sep- tember 7 the Czar and Czarina, with their suites, will take tbeir departure for Copen- hagen, unless in the meantime it shall be decided that the Russian imperials visit Berlin. A snggestion that the three Em- perors meet at Breslan has been quite seriously discussed, but it is not probable that such a meeting will take place. Emperor William on August 2 will at- tend the unveiling of a moment in Berlin in bonor of the Third Regiment of Foot Guards. Arrangements are in progress for a sporting week in Berlin from September 20 to September 27, upon_ the lines of the annual sporting week in Dresden. The Emperor has been asked to become a patron of the sports. The programme as at present contemplated will include a water corso, a .sailing regattza and flat steeplechase racesat Carleliorst, a concours hippique on the exhibitien grounds and a battle of flowers, bicycling, athletic sports, fencing and shooting contests at other laces. ¥ The health of Prince Bismarck, accord- jre to the Hamburger Nachrichten, is now very good indeed, The ex-Chancel- ior has resumed his former long walks, and is even meditating a resumption of his practice of horseback riding, Military circles are greatiy interested in the whereabouts of Lieutenant Ahmed Ilhami Bey, one of the Turkish officers who was sent to Germany at the expense of the Porte to learn the methods of the German military system, who disap- peared. The Ottoman lientenant got into trouble with his landlay, whose husband brought suit against him in the courts. The Turkish officer’s declarations in court seem to bave involved him in a charge of Ferjur)'. and fearing the result he fled rom Berlin. A warrant has been issued for his arrest upon the charge of desertion from the German army. Henry Dalley of New York, who was commissioned by the Congress of the United States to inquire into the German system of using free alcohol in manu- factures, has completed his investigations and expresses himself as extremely grati- fied at the assistance he receivea from the various German officials with whom he came in contact. The conclusion arrived at by Mr. Dalley as the result of his obser- vations is that it will be possibie to pro- mote the use of free spirits in manufactur- ing in the United States without defraud- ing the revenues, and at the same time avoiding the existing high taxes imposed upon manufacturérs. He finds that those who claimed that the use of free spirits in German manufactures was impossible were greatly mistaken. i Whatever semi-official statements may be made upon the subject, it will be a very difficult matter to persuade the public that the retirement of General Bronsart von Schellendorff from the Ministry of War is not conneeted with the differences which have arisen between him and Gen- eral von Hahnke, the chief of the Em- peror’s Military Cabinet, over the pro- posed changes in the military code of pro- cedure, which have already been explained in these dispatches. If the statement made yesterday that General Schellen- dorff’s resignation is not due to the army reform question be generally aceepted hs true, it will not make a particle of differ- ence so far as the better informed circles are concerned. The Von Hahnke Mili- tary Cabinet embodies the entirs opposi- tion to the War Ministry and still controls the Kaiser's action, consequently Von Hahnke's views are likely to prevail. The departure of Genera! Schellendorff from the Ministry strengthens the ex- pectation that Prince Hohenlohe’s withe drawal from the Chancellorship will not be long delayed after the Czar has con- cluded his visit to Germany, as Prince Hohenlohe, equally with General Schel- lendorif, is pledged to the Reichstag in behalf of the reform of the military courts. It may be, however, that the re- forms will be temporarily sheived should an Eastern crisis develop, Prince Hohen- lohe retainiug his post until the inter- national situation clears up. It was the Eastern complications that caused Prince Hohenlohe to go to Wilhelmshohe to see the Kaiser, and upon his return here he called the members of the Cabinet to Berlin. Herr Thielen, Minister of Public Works, was the only member of the Ministry in Berlin, the others being absent on their vacations, but Dr. von Boetticher, Vice- President of the Council of Ministers, and Freiherr Marschall von Bieberstein, Min- ister of Foreign Affairs, were immediately summoned to take part in a conference of the ministers. These membersof the Cab- inet will remain in Berlin for the present, while Prince Hohenlobe, pending the ar- rival of the Czar, has gone to Werki, Rus- sia, with his wife and daughters on pri- vate business. J. B. Jackson, first secretary of the United States embassy, Mrs. Jackson and Miss Ratter are spending 8 month’s holi- day at Beuzeval, France, After the Silesian maneuvers Captain Evans, military attache to the United States embassy, will leave for home. His departure from Berlin will be greatly re- gretted, as he has made hosts of friends among the officers of the German army and others who have had the pleasure of meeting him. MAN AND WIVFE KILLED, Struck by a Train While Walking on a Railroad Track. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Aug. 16.—At half- past 11 o’clock to-night, while Mr. and Mrs, Thaddeus K. Martin, aged 50 and 45 years respectively, were walking on the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad tracks at Kings Highway, they were struck by a south-bound train and instantly killed. Itis supposed that the headlight of the locomotive dazzled Mr. and Mrs. Martin so that they failed to discover which track the train was on until too late. The en- gineer and conductor of the train have been placed ander arrest. R S NEW YORK PAINTERS. Threaten to Strike for Eight Hours and $3 50 a Day. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 16.—Th painters threaten to strike to enforce the payment of the union scale of wages of $3 50 a day and eight hours’ work, and the strike may begin to-morrow. There are four or five painters’ unions in this city—the German painters, the operative painters, the decorative painters and New York ‘progressive painters—and all are controlled by an executive board, which hasissued the order to strike. The German painters, of whom there are about 200, are opposed to any strikes at present, as they say the times are not propitious for such action, and they have called upon the executive board to resign, e p DROUGRT IN TEXAS. The Cotton Crop Will Fall Short 3,000,- 000 Bales. DENISON, Tex., Aug. 16.—R. M. King, the cotton expert, and who has a corre- spondence with the entire cotton belt, has issuea the following bulletin: In North Texas not over a third of the area has been visited by rains at all, and it is safe to say not one acre in 100 has had enough to suftice the present needs of the plant. Not- withstanding the recent showers, we do not hesitate to advance the oghflon that the great “‘monster’’ crop of 1896 thatwas to be, has surely miscarried, and the crop that was sold in May and June for a 10,000,000 bale crop will be under 7,000,000 bales, and before the last of September we will probably see the bulk of :\'onl); Texas cotton ready for the market if not sold. : —_—— LIVELY CHUBRCH NMNEETING.

SORT OF AN EPIDEMIC. Deserters Released From Prison to Save Expense of Their Maintenance. GENERAL FORSYTH'S ORDERS Transfers of Horses and Mules From One Point to Another Must Cost Nothing. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 16—TUn- usual economy seems to be exercised just now by military and naval officers. Last week Assistant Secretary of the Navy MeAdoo remitted eleven months of the year’s imprisonment which was imposed upon Machinist Dunphy of the ram Kathadin, dismissal to follow, on the ground that it was too expensive to keep him in prison that long. General orders just issued by General Otis, in command of the Department of the Columbia, seem to show that the same policy is to be 1ollowed in the army. Tweo soldiers were sentenced to dismissal fol- lowing a year's imprisonment for deser- tion. Reviewing the revort of the court- martial, General Otis approves the sen- tence, after reducing the term of imprison- ment to six months. Similar remission of punishment is also made by General Forsyth, Department of California. Orders from the same head- quarters relating to the transfer of horses and mules from one point to anotner re- quire the transfers to be made without cost for transportation. The foliowing order has been issued by the President: EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washin August 10, 18 To the present schedule of punishment for enlisted men, established under act of Con- gress approved Semtember 27, 1890, as an- nounced in an executive order of March 20, 1895, and promulgatéd in General Orders No. 16, of 1895, from the headquarters of the army, is added: 3 First-class privates of engineer and ordnance corps may be reduced to second-class privates of those corps, respectiively, in all cases where for like offenses on the part of non-commis- sioned officers their reduction in grade is now authorized. GROVER CLRVELAND, Major-General Miles has promulgated the following: By direction of the Secretary of War the is- sue of full dress unitorms to hospital stewards, acting hospital stewards and privates of the hospital corps, will be discontinued and an equivalent allowed in money value of white cotton duck clothing, which will be made in- stead. The First Infantry hasbeen concentrated in full force at the Presidio of 8an Francisco and is now marchicg to Santa Cruz, where it will arrive on the 20th inst. fora month’s instruction in evolutions of the regiment. SINOA NOT A PARIDSE Americans Advised to Stay Away From the Distant Islands. Bo6: %] Ex-.Consul-General That the I Mullen Declares Berlin Treaty a Farce. ‘WASHINGTON, D, C.,, Aug. 16.—The State Department has resolved to publish the report of James H. Mullen, ex-Consul General to Samos, upon the government, commerce, products and people of that country, which has hitherto been held as confidential, and it will appear in the Au- gust volume of Consular Reports now in press. This report was submitted to the department in September, 1895, when Mr. Mullen resigned his office, and was the expression of his views after a year's stay in the country. It isalengthy document, comprising nearly 100 printed pages, and is valuable and interesting from almost any point of view. Mr. Mullen explains that one reason for making the report was the receipt by him of a large number of letters of inquiry from persons in the United States, who, probably persuaded by roseate and mis- leading reports, expressed themselves as auxious to leave the United States with all its opportunities and advantages to make their homes in these islands, where they fatuously suppose & living could be had without exertion and large profits awaited the application of ordinary in- dustry or enterprise. As a matter of fact, he says, the ex- pense of living in Bamoa is two or three times as great as in the United States. Of the workings of the Government under the treaty the writer says the real merits of the situation, hazed in conflicting re- ports, biased by divergent interest, viewed irom widely separated standpoints, is not to_be clearly understood at a distance. Mr. Mullen reaches the conclusion that the Berlin treaty 18 an utter and unre- heved failure, and that, without surren- dering an iota of American prestige or right in the islands or failing to maintain the rights of the people, the United States “should put an end to an arrangement un- der which a farce is perpamnea from which no credit ensues.” The report contains abundant informa- tion regarding Samoa and its interests, some of the figures being rather surpris- ing. Itsentire trade in 1‘&4 amounted to less than $750,000; the total Government and municipal revenue was less than $8000, of which thirty-two Americans, registered at the consulate, paid but $557; customs duties were $27,500. The popula- tion of the island is estimated at 35,000, Apia, the principal town, bas 826 inhabi- tants and is without a wharf, a public school, a fire engine or a foot of sidewalk. B LN EVERETT JAILBREAK. George A Kline, the St. Louis Murderer, \ Escapes With the Assistance of a Confederate. EVERETT, Wash., Aug. 16.—George A. Kline was arrested here jon Friday night by City Marshal Getc! on. a charge of having shot and killed a policeman in St. Louis seven years ago. The arrest was the result of & long and persistent search, and was brought about through corre. spondence from the Chief of Police of St. Louis, who had located Kline on Puget Sound some three months u'go. Kline had been worklnf the shingle- mill of Wade & Metcalf, and but afew months ago was arailroad brakeman on the Everett and Monte Cristo Railroad, and was also en in swilching in the Northern Pacific yard at Tacoma. After placing him inside of the cage of thie city lockup, Marshal Getchell remained in his office in the city building until a few minutes after 6 o’clock, when he went out to get supper for his prisoner. He was gone aboug an hour, and on his return unlocked the outside door 2nd called out, *‘Hello, George; here’ssomething to eat.”” Receiving “no response he glanced through the bars, but could see no one. He took his key to unlock the cage door | when he was thunderstruck to find that the Yale padlock was gone and the bird had flown. As the lock is protected from the inside by a large steel plate it is plain thaf an outside confederate must have helped Kline to escape. The window of the jailer’s room had been raised and the lock deftly picked, — ARIZONA JUDGE ASSAILED, Charges Filed Against Territorial dsgo- viate Justioe Bethune. TUCEON, Ariz., Aug. 16.—Anather po- litical squabble is on the tapis, War has been declared agamnst Judge Bethuna of this district and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of this Territary. The fight is managed by W. K. Meade, United States Marsbal, aided by seven members of the bar, The ground aileged is that his state of health incapacitates Betuune for duty, and public business is neglected and suifering. ethune has been supplied with a copy of the complaint and has demanded that an examiner from the Department of Jus. tice be sent here at once to examine into the facts, The record shows that Bethune has, during the last two years, disposed of three times as many cases as did his predecessor in the two previous years, A majority of the members of the bar of this district strongly support Betbune. It seems to be the general tentiment that if be is removed his successor shounld be appointed from outside the Territory, to insure immunity from petty quarrels of local politicians.

MONTERY, CaL, Aug. 16.—The annusl shoot for the championship of San Jose, ‘Watsonville, Salinas and Monterey took placg to-day at the Del Monte Shooting Park, The meet was under the auspices of the Monterey Wing Club. San Jose ‘was represented by twenty-two men from the Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club. Wat- sonville was represented by the Cascade Rod and Gun Club, and the Salinas City Gun Club appeared for Salinas. The championship honors fell to San Jose. Tbe meet opened with a sweepstakes shoot between the Monterey and Salinas teams, The first match Balinas won, but in the second Monterey took the prize. The 8an Jose and Watsonville teams ar- rived at Monterey on an excursion train at 11:30 and proceeded at once to the shooting park, whers an old-fashioned Spanish barbecue had been prepared for the visiting teams. At 1 o'clock the cap- tains of the several clubs selected the men to represent them. Umpire Thomas Allen called time and the clay pigeons com- menced to fly from the five traps, The Watsonvilles were the first to take their places. They did excellentl work, and the final defeat oi the team was sur- prising, considering that it had a good start. Salinas was the next club to shoot, and it made a poor score. The Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club was last, but piled the score so high as to discourage all other contestants. Anderson, especially, did zo:l)ld work, with Dr. Barker a close sec- ond. The total average score was: Ban Jose, first, 185 birds; Monterey, second, 165; Salinas, third, 158, and Watsonville last, with 129. The best individual score was made by Anderson of San Jose, who shot twenty- four ont of a possible twenty-five birds. Varien and Work, both of the Monterey club, were tied for second place, with twenty-one each, This will be shot off to- mOrrow. ‘The men representing the respective clubs were: San Jose—Hell, Flint, Hobson, Schillings, Lipsett, Kendall, Barker, Holman, Anderson, Coykendall. slonterey — Ingram, Gunzendorfer, Olsen, Work, Hare, Morgan, Carr, Day, Varien, Few.

STOCKTON, Car,, Aug. 16.—The great game of baseball between the teams of the Independent and Mail offices of this city brought hundreds of people to Goodwater Grove this afternoon. There were hun- dreds of ladies on hand to cheer for their favorites and the grand stand was filled with the representatives from the fair sex. The game was for the benefit of the car- nival fund of the Native Sons and this drew the large crowd. The game as origi- nally arranged to be played would have been a great farce, as a keg of beer was to be placed on fthird base and only those reaching the third bag were to be entitled to a drink. When 1t was decided to play for the benefit of the Native Sons’ fund the players dropped the farcical side of the aifair and played in earnest. The editorial and composing-rooms and job offices of both newspapers were represented on the team. The public were surprised at the cleverness of some of the stick-wie] derg and while there were some rank playq made by llha ten‘ms the list of errors wag not nearly 80 large 88 Was expected. Lynch of z’he Mail team knockedp%ut:qa home run and several two-base hits were made. The Independent men had three rofessional players in their team and the ails one, each side hiring a professional catcher; bug the first-named team hag ‘Walters of the Stockton team and Gamble, who used to play professional ball in tj,0 Northwest, in their offices and so had the best of the game. The Mails proved 10 be the best at the bat, but their hits were not bunched and they did poor work in the field. In the third inning the Indepen- dents piled up nine runs, which won them the game. Black and Pace and Pace and Newell alternated as the battery for the Mails and Harlin and White were the bat- tery for the Independents. Gamble ang Walters also pitched for the last-named team. L The runs by innings were: Ind-pendents. Mails. DELMAS MAKES A RECOED. The Garden City Cycler Covers the San Jose Five-Mile Course in 12:37. SAN JOSE, CaL, Aug. 16.—Tony Del- mas, a member of the Garden City Cycl to-day lowered the record over the San Jose five-mile course to 12:37. beats the former course record of 13:02, held by John Wing of the QOlympic Club, San Francisco, 25 seconds. Deimas was paced by four tandems. If the pacing had been a little better the time would have been cut to 12:30. The riders of the tandems were Al Baker and J, D. Lawrence, Roy Johnson and Edgar Johnson, Gai_l Hardenbrook and Julius Smith and Irving Ryder and R. R. Shearran. The first tandem slowed up a little too soon at the end of its pace and Delma3 was compelled to go around it, and the third team rode a couple of miles on a flat tire. The five-mile handicap road race of the Garden City Cyclers was held over the same course previous to Delmas’ ride against time. The handicapping was good and the race was hotly contested from start to finish. Both events were wit- nessed by a large number of spectators, R. W. Bridgman, with a handicap of 1:30, won the race in 14:20, R. R. John- son (1:45) was second, and R. R. Shear- man (:35) third. Tony Delmas secured lzge:“tima prize, riding from scratch in NEW TO-DAY.
