4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1896. ) WILLIAM GOES T0 KIEL 70 TALK After Swearing In Recruits He Will Speak About Army Scandals. The Emperor Is Also Anxious to Control Interpellation De- bates in the Reichstag. Opposition to the Proposed Increase In the Naval Budget May Cause the Chamber to Be Dissolved. [Copyrighted, 1898, by the United Associated Presses.] BERLIN, GerMaxY, Nov. 22.--Emperor William will go to Kiel to-morrow for the purpose of swearing in the recruits col- lected at that place, and there is a con- siderable degree of expectation that his | Majesty will in the course of his address to the recruits make some reference to the recent incidents impeaching the conduct | of military officers and privates toward | civiliaps. It is probable, however, that the Kafser will merely confine himself to a repetition of the old formulas of exact- ing allegiance to himself. In military circles the story published in the Berliner Tageblatt implying that the address of the Emperor to the officers immediately surrounding him on the oc- casion of the swearing in of the troops in | Berlin was not what it purported to be is | generally discredited. The Tageblatt’s ob- ject plainly was to lead its readers to befieve that the Emperor, while pretend- | ing to:admonish the officers against the | recurrence of the recenily reported out- | raghs upon civilians by officers,really gave | them to understand that any “insult to their uniforms on the part of the civilians | should be promptly and effectively re- | sentéd. This, however, is denied, by sev- ‘ eral of the officers present, who say that | the Kaiser simply advised them to avoid collisions with civilians. | The audacity of the Radical and So- | cialist speeches in the Reichstag, es-| pecially those delivered during the course of the Brusewitz debate by Herr Lenz- mann and Bebel, have greatly incensed the Emperor and Government officials generally, who hold that Baror von Buol- Berenberg, president of the Reichstag, | ought to have restrained the opposition from using language possibly Pflenslve to the Emperor and his Ministers. It is reported that the Emperor, on the eve of his departure for Kiel, had a pro- tracted conference with Prince Hohen- lohe, the Imperial Chancellor, in regard to the position of the various parties inl the Reichstag with a view of establishing | a better control of intervellation debates. | The political party of the Center in the Reichstag, through the conesion of its | members and the masterful tact of its | leaders, dominates the chamber and can | always, without directly attacking the Government, greatly embarrass the Minis- try. The Conservatives and National Liberals, although willing supporters of | the Government, are greatly at a disad- | vantage in lacking the leadership of the Centrists, The Cologne Gazette, in an article point- ing out the danger of allowing the Reichs- tag tosubmit to the masterly tactics of | the Centrist leaders, appeals to the Con- | servatives and National Liberals to sink their differences upon agrarian and other questions and rally to the support of the Government,which has already been twice assailed within che first fortnight of the present session, through tlLe machinations of the Centrists, upon the questions of | the Bismarck revelations and the practice of dueling in the army. In connection with the latter question a commission of officers has been appointed to submit a re- | port on the regulations of military courts | of honor, the commission having beld their meetings since the delivery of Prince | Hobenlohe's speech in reply to the radical interpellation on Tuesday. | The Emperor has asked the committes | to expedite its report, and has sent to | that body a draft of suggestions, which, it is understood, embodies a recognition of the principle laid down by the Prince Re- gent of Bavaria, who has decreed that hereafter officers refusing to fight duels upon the ground that they are opposed to the principle of dueling must not becom- pelled to resign from the army, as has hitherto been the rule. The leaders of the Radical faction in the Reichstag are watching the development of the matter, and as a result have reached the conclu- sipn that ‘nstructions of the Prince Regent -will not become strictly operative in any | corps of the army of Germany, holding that any ofticer declining to fight a duel, though he may not be formally expelled, ! will become a social outcast. Herr Richter, Radical Unionist leader, has gnnounced that upon the occasion of the ate on the military estimates he will again bring up the question of duel- ing by moving that any military ,officer who shall engage in a duel shall be de- prived of his rack and expelled from the service, and that officers’ courts of honor shall be abolished. General von Waldersee, now in com- mand of the army corps at Hamburg, has been appointed military governor of Ber- lin in place of General yon Loe, whose term of service is expiring. Dr. Koch, governor of the Reichsbank, has submitted to an interview upon the question as to how the trade of Germany is to be affected by the election of McKin- ley as President of the United States. In answer to this specific question Dr. Koch said: “We must wait and see. At all events McKinley is a lesser evil than Bryan. Iam hopeful that McKinley has abandoned His policy of extreme protec- tion, but we are not secure from surprises and we ought to be prepared for them. Ivis to our interest that ‘German trade should stand well in America and we are ready to give or take.” The keynote of the arrangements of the Porte with a view of preserving the status quo of Turkey fmven to be the financial plans of the directors of the Ottoman Bank. Each power acting in the nominal concert-of powers is doubtiess playing its own game, but for the present the ques- tion of obtaining fresh supplies of money rules the decisions of the Sultan. 8ir Edgar Vincent, governor of the Im- perial Oitoman Bank, was in Berlin prior to his going to Vienna for the purpose of conferring with the members of the Vienna syndicate, and while here he saw reports of the leading German financiers, t0 whom he proposed the raising of a Turkish 3 per cent loan upon the conver- slon of the old debts and the general guar- antee of the powers, proposing another scheme for the reform of the Turkish debt commission by the appointment of a Russian delegate thereto. Since then Nel- lidorf, Russian Em! or to Turkey, hasarrived in 8t. Petersburg,and Sir Edgar Vincent has learned that the Czar is un- certain about the appointment of a Rus- sian delegate upon the Turkish debt com- mission, the claims of Russia upon the finances of Turkey being superior to all other considerations. The sum of the metter is that Ruossia only blocks the way of the powers 1n dealing with the Porte. A section of the Centrist party in the Reichstag, chiefly composed of members from the southern Btates, have decided to oppose the proposed increase of 40,000,000 marks in the naval credit in the budget and are arranging a _coalition with a fac- tion of the National Liberals and the Rad- icals and Socialists for the purpose of de- feating the proposal. This movement renders the passage of the naval increase clause of the budget highly improbable. Ministerial reports in circulation in the lobby of the Reichstag agree that the Kaiser is determined to_ dissolve the Chambers if the increase is not granted, and tuis being the case a hot fight over the naval increase seems ineviiable. A strike of the dockmen which began at Hamburg yesterday is limited to 3800 men, but the lighter-men and other labor- ers threaten to join the strike 10-mOrrow. The strikers do not enjoy the sympathy of the public. > The fifty-sixth birthday of ex-Empress Frederick was celebrated_yesterday by a family banquet at the New Palace, gala performances at the Palace Theater and a supper in the marble saloon at which the Ministers and foreign Embassadors and their wives were present. All of the public buildings were deborated with flags in honor of the occasion. Under the assent of the British Goyernment, the German ‘War Office is about to send Captain Norgen to Dongola to witness the operations of the Anglo-Egyptian campaign up the Valley of the Nile, The leaders of the Bohemian sugar in- austries bave influenced the Austrian Government toopen communications with the Berlin Government to induce the latter to join in negotiations looking to a limita- tion of the international output of sugar. The smailer beet-growers of Saxony and Anhalt have become alarmed at the increased operations of the sugar ring, and have had several meetings, as a result of which they have decided to ask that Government that measures be taken to restrict the power of the ring. Herr Ahl- wardt, the notorious Jewbaiter, who has been conducting an unsuccessful anti- Jewish campaign in America, is expected to arrive 1n Berlin in December. Chapman Coleman, formerly first secre- tary of the United States embassy here, has left Berlin for the south of France, and after a short stay in that section will start for home. J. B. Jackson, first secretary of the American embassy, will spend” the re- mainder of his annual holidays in Italy. The American soprano, Miss Marie Howe, is singing in concerts in Dresden, where she has been very successful. Miss Howe will appear in Berlin on December 19. Miss Augusta Cottiow of Chicago has made her debut at the Song Academy and established a reputation as a young pianist of a remarkably high order of ability and great promise for the future. A conversazione held at the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiien last week, under the patron- age of the American and English em- bassies, for the benefit of the Episcopal church, realized a large sum. Mrs, Uhl and Lady Basel, respectively the wives of the American and British Embassadors, were in attendance and assisted greatly in the success of the function. Miss Poddy Ross of Davenport, Iowa, gave a concert at the Song Academy on Saturday. A Gold Club bas been formed in Dres- den, of which G. A. Dunning of Pbila- | delphia is secretary. Herr Ludwig Barnya, the eminent Ger- man tragedian, will make his reappear- ance on the stage in the career of *King Lear’’ at a charity performance in Berlin on November 26. WEYLER SAYS HE CAN YET WIN. Believes the Insurgents Cannot Withstand the Campaign He Claims to Be Preparing. HAVANA, Cusa, Nov. 2L—After a somewhat lengthy silence Captain-General ‘Weyler has at last been heard irom, and in an interview he expressed himself as being confident of putting an end to the insurrection. General Weyler was inter- viewed in the Jaca camp, which is located near the iown of San Cristobal, province of Pinar del Rio. He said, aiter declaring that he was satisfied with the operations that have been carried on up to the pres- ent time, that e believed the insurgents did not have in the hills supplies sufhcient to last them for more than three engage- ments. After these engagements had oc- curred it would be easier to estimate the resources of the rebels, but he believed that it would then be found that the am- munition of the insurgents was exhausted. He added that he had still fifteen or twenty days’ work to perform at the camp to complete his preparations for an ad- vance on the rebels, but that he would wait until after Christmas before he moved his troops forward. Then he would strike amortal blow at the insurgents. When questioned concerning the posi- tion of Maceo, the rebel leader, General Weyler, answered: *The last news I re- ceived about him located him south of the Western Railway, on which San Cristobal is located. He is unwilling to meet our columns even when his forces are in good positions. We will see.”” This indicates that so far the results of the campaign of General Weyler are still in the future. Maceo isapparently follow- ing his old tactics of drawing the Bpanish troops as far,as possible into the hills from their base of supplies, when, by dividing his forces into small commands, he will be able to continually harass them with guerrilla tactics, for which they have no uking. Some distance to the west of San Cristo- bal are mountain passes where a com- paratively few rebels would be able to nold tneir own against any force that Spain could send against them and 1tis thought that General Weyler will not meet the elusive Maceo until he comes upon him unexpectedly in some of these mountain fastnesses. The Epoca, a semi-official organ, admits that it is possible that General Weyler will return to Havana, owing to the un- healthy season. LONDON, Exe., Nov. 22.—A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid says the Gov- ernment has intimated to General Weyler that for reasons of international and do- mestic politics it will not be expedient for for him to return to Havana until he has achieved a decisive victory over Maceo, P sty Protest Against the Insult, LONDON, Exe., Nov. 22.—A dispatch to the Central News from Madrid says that the Duke of Tetuar, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has cabled to Senator de Lome, Spanisn Minister to the United States, to make an energetic protest to the American Government against the insult recently offered to the Spanish flag at Newcastle, Del. e Engaged to Miss Peck.

Belief in Church Circles That He Is to Be Created a Cardinal. He Departs From San Jose on a Pil- grimage to the Holy City. SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 22.—Bishop John J. Keane, late rector of the Catholic Uni- versity at Washington, left this city yes- W W N\ N NN \¥ Ny L i m men to generous self-forgetfulness for the welfare of others in your sublime resigna- tion to the will of the Holy Father. You are the masterpiece of your own training.” The letter of Cardinal Gibbons and the reply of Bishop Keane have already been published. Private advices were also re- ceived by him from almost every Cardi nal, Archbishop and other high official in the church both in America and Europe. All urged him to go to Rome, and pre- dicted that he would certainly be received there with distinction and be given prefer- ment. The action of the board of directors of the university was very encouraging to Bishop Keane, and after that meeting he awaited only the return of Archbishop Riordan of San Francisco, who was in at- tenaance at the meeting and was elected one of the board of directors of the uni- versity. Archbishop Riordan returned to San Francisco last week ana Bishop Keane went up from San Jose and had a conference with him. 8 On Thursday last Bishop Keane re- turned to this city with his mind defi- nitely determined as to what his course should be. He told a number of his friends that he would proceed to Rome 1mmediately, by the aavice of Archbishop Riordan. The latter during his visit in the East had conferred with Cardinal Gib- bons and a number of Archbishops, and they all agreed in urging Bishop Keane to proceed at once to Rome. It was believed BISHOP JOHN J. KEANE. The late rector of the Catholic University at Washington has been summoned to Rome. It is believed that upon his arrival at the Holy City he will be promoted to some position of eminence in recognition of his services to the church, terday afternoon for Rome. This move of the eminent theologian and educator is due to a pressure that has been brought to bear upon him in that direction ever since he was relieved of his charge as rector of the university. At that time, now over two months ago, he was requested by the Pope to go to Rome, but as he needed rest and an opportunity for deliberation over the situation he preferred rather to come to San Jose, where he sought and found needed rest and seclusion in the 0'Connor Banitarium. Every indication points to the prefer- ment of Bishop Keane after his arrival at Rome. All the high officials in the church, in America and at Rome, have expressed the highest regard for him, and on all sides there have been warm expressions of & desire for his elevation into some posi- tion of emipence fitting his ability and services to the church. During his stay in 8an Jose Bishop Keane was not idle, although he did not leave the confines of the sanitarium and its grounds. Every Sunday evening he conducted the seryices at the sanitarium chapel, and his loss will be greatly felt there on that account and on account of the fact that he took a kindly interestin even the most humble of the sick and afflicted and often visited and comforted them. Before leaving the sanitarium yester- aay, Bishop Keane expressed much regret to the sisters, to Facher H. Gallagher and to other friends. He said that his greatest solace at being deprived of his position at the head of an institution upon which he bad set his heart, was the opportunity that it gave him for a stay at so delightful an institution as the sanitarium, and in a city that had so pleasant a winter climate as San Jose. During his stay in San Jose, Bishop Keane was debating as to the best course for him to pursue in regard to the invitation to go to Rome. There was never any peremptory demand upom him in that direction, so that he counld not in- jure by the delay any chances that he might have for preferment. He had much interest before making a move in learning the wishes of the board of directors of the Catholic University of Washington, which met recently. Cardinal Gibbons was president of the board, and a warm per- sonal friend of Bishop Keane was ap- pointed his successor as rector, which proved that he still had a potent influence over that body. The appointment was the most satisfactory possible to Bishop Keane, who still feels and expresses as great an interest in the welfare of the uni- versity as when he was at its head. At a meeting of the board of directors of the university by a unanimous request Cardinal Gibbons sent a letter to the late rector expressing the hope and belief that his ability and eminent services would soon be rewarded by his elevation to some important station by the Holy Father at Rome. The following significant senti- ments are contalned in the letter of Car- dinal Gibbons. In reference to the posi- tion of Bishop Keane he says: “Your noble soul has grown from your undertaking. You have proven the effi- ciency of the university to train young that such a course would be’in a line of speedier preferment than if he retired here and awaited the action of the author- ities at Rome. This belief is strengthened by some sen- timents in a Jetter that has just been re- ceived by Archbishop Ireland from Cardi- nal Satolli at Rome. The letter gives assurances that “‘there is a bright future in reserve for Bishop Keane, the rector of the university.” Itis believed that nothing definite is known or has been intimated from Rome as to what special honors are to be con- ferred upon Bishop Keane, but his friends in America are confident that he will be made a Cardinal. Even before his retire- ment as head of the university a number of his influential friends predicted that he would some cay leave that work to assume ared hat, At present there is no vacancy in America and no regular appointment asa Cardinal can be made. Itis recog- nized that Bishop Keane is one of the best informed men in America as to the needs and condition of the church here, and it has been suggested that he might be ap- pointed a Cardinal for America with a residence in Rome. e — WENT DOWN WITHE A BRIDGE. Terrible Disaster to a Party Out on a Pleasure Ride. BIRMINGHAM, Ara, Nov, 22.—A party of a dozen young people who left Ensley City last night in a wagon for a pleasure ride had their merriment trans- ferred into death and disaster before they had proceeded a mile on their journey. Ten days ago a new bridge was completed across Village Creek, near Ensley City. ‘While crossing this structure ilf!u way, precipitating the wagon tifteen feet below mnto the water. Not a person in the vehicle escaped uninjured. ‘William Shannon, aged 20, was hurt about the head, which caused concussion of the brain, from which he died to-day. . Miss Maggie Hartigan was seriously in- jured about the head and her back was sprained. It is feared she will die. Charles Barnes had his scalp cut open and received internal injuries which may result seriously. 7T'ne other injured are: C. L. Shannon, head badly cut; G. G. Campbell, bruised about face and body; Ea Blackburn, arm broken; Sam Brown, lez and head cut; Miss Ella Jones, cut and bruised in bead and shoulders; Miss Luld Williams, bruised; Miss Annie Wil- liams, face badly cut; Miss Nellie Black- burn, bruised; Eph Bowie, driver, back sprained. The cause of the accident was that the stringers of the bridge were too short and gradually worked off the sills. The jar of the wayon last night caused them to fall, letting the entire span down., SR Suicide of Horace B, Sargent. BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 22.—Horace B.

How the Day Is Spent by the Members of the Varsity Eleven. CONGRESS SPRINGS, Car., Nov. 22.— The proprietor of the hotel here, on the arrival of the Stanford men, said that he had heard of the enormous appetites of football players and had fortified his larder against any onslaught the Palo Al- toans might make, but from the way in which his provisions are disappearing he has come to the conclusion that he knows nothing about the game and the appetite it develops. At the first meal the players ate everything in sight and loudly called for more, much to the host’s astonish- ment. = For practice the men go down onto & field near the hotel. Itisa mighty poor field, however, having a decided slope which greatly handicaps the team that | has to work uphill. The fietld is even poorer than that at Woodside, but the other accommodations are so much supe- rior to those the men have enjoyed in former years that they all are positive they will never care to train at Woodside again. Each two men have a nicely furnished room to themselves and the bathing facili- ties are good, but the men are not allowed to drink any of the mineral water for fear it will do them more harm than good— that is the opinion of the trainer. Talk about a bracing atmosphere! Itis simply indescribable up here. The eleva- tion of the springs is about 1000 feet. The place is a good distance from centers of civilization. Los Gatos is six miles away; San Jose twice as far distant and the uni- versity is twenty miles from here. The men spend their evenings in the large sit- ting-room, where they gather around a big blazing hearth, sing college songs and Aalk football. A few of the more studious ones retire early to their rooms, where they ‘‘dig” as hard at therr books as though they were expecting an “‘ex’’ the following day. Practice begins with running down the field of second eleven men, and giving some tacklers on the first eleven a chance to mend their faulis. After this the teams line up for a half hourorso. On account of the absence of Murphy and Cotton the first aiternoon McIntosh and Freeman were put in at quarterback and fullback on the. Varsity. Both of these men put up a strong game. Freeman’s line-bucking was good, while McIntosh’s passing was very sure, considering that the ball was wet and the ground in such poor condition, Harrington, left tackle, was the only man who failed to put up an excelient game, and he was put over on the second eleven, Rice taking his place. The latter played harder than he has at any grevimu game of the season. Jeifs and Btraight played admirably atendas. Both tackled hard and low and easily broke up the interference of the second team. Signal practice occupies considerable time each morning and a practice game of an hour occurs in the afternoon. GIVEN NORTH YAKIMA LANDS. Settler Proves Title to a Homestsad Including Eighty Acres in the City. TACOMA, Wasn., Nov. 22.—News has been received in North Yakima that the Becretary of the Interior has decided in favor of the applicant in a land case pend- ing since 1891. The result of the decision 1is that $50,000 worth of property, including eighty acres just outside the city limits, and eighty acres in the most thickly set- tled portion of the city, including dozens of houses and residence lots, passes into the hands of the applicant, J. H. Need- ham. The land and lots were sold by the Northern Pacific to the present holders, but the decision of the Secretary implies that the railroad had no title. Captain MacCrimmon 1n 1884 made ap- plication at the local land office to file a timber-culture claim on the land in ques- tion. This was two vears before the pres- ent city existed. His application was rejected, but in 1891 his partner Needham filed a homestead on the same tract, hold- ing that by reason of MacCrimmon's timber-culture claim pending before the Land Office in 1884, when the Northern Pacifi’s rights attached, the tract was ex- empted from grant. is homestead application was rejected, and he appealed. A telegram received by his attorney gives him dzo prior right of filing & homestead. The owners of the property will look to the railroad com- any for repayment of money paid on ands. —_— AT THE NAVAL STATION. Gunboat Bennington Enters the Drydock for Repairs—Work on the Ships of War. VALLEJO, Oax., Nov. 22.—The gunboat Bennington came up to the island on Thursday.and at once went into drydock. It was scraped and on Tuesday it is ex- pected the little ship will be on the way to San Francisco. The Petrel is nearly ready for sea and will, about the middle of De- cember, leave for China. A force of over 1100 men is employed at the yard. But little work was required on the Philadelphia, which will be sent to South America in a week or so. Thanks- giving day will be observed as a holiday and the various messes at the barracks and on the Independence will eat turkey on that day. One day last week the men on the Inde- pendence treated themselves to_a dish ot -sauerkraut and frankfurters. It required 200 pounas of the kraut and 150 pounds of the sausage for one meal for the 250 men on the In Congressman Hilborn visited the yard last week and he will use his best enaeav- ors at the coming session of Congress to secure an appropriation for a new wooden drydock. There are a number of ships at the yard requiring docking, but each will have to take its turn. The Press Association of California will visit the yard on Tuesday and make a thorough inspection of all departments, A OAKLAND CHILD'S JOURNEYX. Boards the Wrong Train at the Mole and Is Carried to Fresno. FRESNO, Car., Nov. 22—Among the passengers who arrived on the 5:20 train from the north this evening was a five- year-old boy who cheated the Southern Pacific out of a hali-fare from Oakland to Fresno, and will enjoy a ride back in the morning, also free of cost. The little fel- ow’s name is Frank Gould and his parents reside at the St. Vincent Hotel on Twelfth avenue in East Oakland. He says his father is a mining speculator. It appears that the boy and his mother were returning from a visit to San Fran- cisco and at e pier they became sepa- rated. She boarded the train for her home, while the youngster boarded the train for the South.” His presence on the train was not discovered by the conductor until La- throp was reached. The little feilow is unusally bright, and the trainman easily learned the state of affairs. He took the boy to the end of his run, and will send him back on the morning train. The par- ents of the boy were immediately notified by the conductor of the whereabduts of their son. The youngster won the heart of Conductor Dolan, and this evening he entertained the people about the Hughes Hotel in this city with his bright sayings n‘x_lxd amusingly descriptive account of his trip. e SAN JOSE ENTERTAINMENT.

Nov. 22.—During a preliminary examination of Ed Gould of San Francisco, who is accused of attempt- ing to extort money from Mrs. W. E. Wat- son, J. H.
