Sc-Mcyou, the Hereditary King of the Bassa Tribe, Graduates From a Divinity School. LEWISTON, ME., May 2L—The Cobb Divinity School has just graduated the t native African in the history of the school. Louis Pennick Clinton, a native- born African, the hereditary King of the Bassa tribe, has been made a minister of the Free Baptist church. The Bassa tribe is a powerful one, esti- mated at 2,000,000. - Clinton, or So-Mayou, as he s his tribal name, is a typical A , with flattened nose, big lips and retreating temple. He is of stocky build, weighing 145 pounds and standing 5 feet 5 inches. His address is good, and En- glish he speaks fluently. = So-Mayou's plans are to return to his tribe. He in- tends to go back in the spring of 1898 and live among his people—a people barbar- ous, aadicted to cannibalism, snpersti- tious, knowing nothing of civiiization ex- cept what they have learned from inter- course with foreign traders, sharp and bright enough in their way, but in great terror of the med:cine man. Mayou's uncle, the present ruler, usurped the throne. So-Mayou being the hereditary King, and therefore a danger- ous rival, was closely watched by his uncle, but So-Mayou managed to escape to Liberia. When in his teens there he fell into the hands of one Clinton, a Yankee merchant, from whom he took bis adopted name. By him %e was intro- duced to a Protestant missionary of the High Episcopal church, who found means to send him to college. After a year of trave! through the States under the aus- vices of the Free Baptist church, he will return home to devote his life to the wel- fare of ins people. - Judges Should Be Above Keproach Read Shortridge’s great speech in to- day’s News Letter, Infull.

His Friends Belleve Him Innocent and a Victim of Circumstances and Conspirators. PARIS,T: May 21.—E. H. Leutweiler, formerly United States Commissioner at Duncan, Ind. T., who has been on trial in the United States court in this city for two days past upon a charge of bribery, was to-day found guilty as charged 1 two of the indictments. Owing to the prominence of Judge Leut- weller the trial Las attracted widespread attention, and the courtroom was thronged while it was in progress. The evidence upon which he was convicted showed that he had accepted a bribe of $125 from a | physician in a liquor case and a bribe of 500 in another case from a wealthy farmer whose relative was in trouble upon an- other account. Leutweiler does not deny receiving money from the parties named, but claims that it was not received as a bribe, but in payment of attorney fees due him in cases in other courts. The Judge has many iriends here and throughout Texas who believe him to be inuocent and but the victim of circumstances and conspir- acy. He was ably represented by counsel, and the verdict was a surprise. Doubtless a motion will be made for a rehearing. Leutweiler is one of the prominent Re- publicans, not only of the panhandle country, but of Texas, and solely through his efforts many counties were carried for the McKinley delegates to the National convention at St. Louis. He was also a member of the delegation that went to Canton to formally present the name of National Committeeman John Grant for a Cabinet portiolio. Judge Leutweiler re- sides at Bowie, Texas, where he is uni- versally esteemed. EASTERN OR CALIFORNIA STONE 2 Supervising Architect Aken Talks of the Postoffice Building—Interest of the Southern P:c.fic. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 2L—TgE CaLL correspondent bad another inter- view with the supervising architect of the Treasury to-day about the San Francisco Postoffice building. Mr. Aiken was shown some of the copies of THE CALL containing editorial expressions of the paper as well as interviews of prominent business men of California in favor of using stone from California_quarries in the structure in- | stead of Eastern material. Mr. Aiken said: I have noticed in THE CALL the péopla | of San Francisco are considerably exer- cised about the sugeestion that Eastern stone might be used. You may say to vour people that as far as I am concerned 1 am heartily 1n favor of using s'one from the California quarries. I was in Cul fornia two years ago, and {rom personal observation I know that the stone in the quarries of that State is of excellent quality. Of course, I do not know just how long my tenure of office will be, but if I baveanything to do with the matter the stone used will be from California quarries.” Mr. Aiken mentioned several quarries. He was inclined to believe that the granite and marble quarries in the State would be much bstter fora building of such pro- portions than either sandstone or lime- stone, both of which latter were weil enough for smaller buildings. He men- tioned particularly the Raymond granite and Inyo Connty marble for the Postoffice building. He thought that it might be a good plan to construct the lower story of granite and the upper part of marble. He believed that this would be a very pretty combination. The suggestions were merely tentative, how- ever. He said he had no preference as be- tween the various California quarries and no favoritism to show. In the course of a rambling conversation the supervising architect inadvertently let out a hint that will surprise San Francisco people. The Southern Pacific Railroad agent here may endeavor to have the stone shipped from the East in order to give them a longer haul. Mr. Aiken did not make this positive statement; itcame about in this way: “What influence might bring about the selection of Eastern material?”’ asked THE CALL correspondent. The supervising architect smiled as he replied: “'Ob, various influences over which I woutd bave no control, as, for in- siance, the Southern Pacific Railroad, which seems to be all powerful in Wash- ington.” Mr. Aiken added that be had no knowl- edge that the raiir oad would attempt any- thing of the hind. It was merely a sur- mise on his part. He said that of course the officers of the department would not knowingly favor the railroad company, but there were various ways in which the railroad might bring influence to bear. Senatorial and Congressional influence wmight be a factor, he said. s iy VOTED AGAINST THE WOMEN. Cembridge Decided Not to Al.ow Members of the Fair Sex to Take Degrees at the University. LONDON, Exc., May 21.—Voting on the proposal to allow women to take degrees from the Univer-ity of Cambridge began at Cambridge to-day. The opposition was very strong and excitement over the ques- tion intense. Crowds from all parts of the country swarmed the sireets, and every student entitled to vote was early on the ground. At the conclusion of the voting it was announced that the proposal had been defeated by an overwhelming major- ity. The undergraduates cheered and velled themselves hoarse. The vote re- sulted: Against 1713, for 662; majority against 1051. Cambridge was the scene of wild rejoicing among undergraduates this afternoon, and In the evening was ablaze with fireworks and bonfires. —_— Cauned by Slow Collections.

No One to Claim the Body, and It Wil Be Interred in the Potter’s Field. BOSTON, Mass., May 21.—Hattie Fran- | cis, a beautiful blonde of 23 years, hand- somely attired, sat ata table in the Bos- | ton Cafe, one of the most fashionable res- taurants of the city, last nignt. She smiled across the cloth at her escort, a well-known youngz man abont town, and raising'a glass of wine to her lips with the words *‘Here’s to you,” was about to| drink. Suddenly she turned pale and fell back in her chair, while the winegiass was shiattered on the tiled floor. “I’m aying,’ she gasped. A thin stream of blood trickled from her lips. There was a com- motion in the restaurant. Then the gong of the emergency hos- | pital patrol sounded at the door, and a surgeon came passing through the agita- ted, well-cressed throng that surrourded the prostrate woman. One glanee was sufficient for his professional eye. “I can do nothing; she isdead,” he said. The body was taken to the city morgue; there it lies to-night unclaimed. The dead woman had no one to call ber friend and must sleep in the potter’s field. Her fine garments will be sold to pay the expense of burizl. Her old parents on the New Hampshire farm never want to hear of her a;ain.

At this the Duke boxed both ears of Comas and felled him to the floor. Comas’ son threw himself npon the Duke and struck him a heavy blow with his fist. Several Senators intervened and a general scuffle ensued. In the Chamber Representative Mores questioned the Premier on the subject. Canovas declared that the Government entirely approved of Weyler's policy and accepted the responsibility therefor. It bad full confidence in his statements con- cerning the decline of the rebellion. The Government, the Premier added, had no diplomatic information to communicate. Its exchange of views with the powers re- zarding Cuba bad always been unofficial. The powers maintained great reserve in the matter, but their attitude induced thé belief that they would not offer effective intervention. The exchangs of communi- cations with the United States had been friendly, but 8pain had refused the prof- fered American mediation and had de- clared she would not submit to foreign interference. Liberal members of the Senate have de- cided not to attend the sittings of that body until the Duke of Tetuan gives satis- faction to Comas and the Liberal party ior the insult he has given him and it. AT WILLING TO GO TO WAR. Spain Sald to Be Determined Not to Tolerate Foreign Interven- tion In Cuba. LONDON, Exa., May 2L—The Stan- dard’s Madrid correspondent says that in political and official circles the opinion is held that the relations between Spain and the United States are not likely to be much altered by the adoption of Morgan’s resolution, inasmuch as the Spaniards don’t believe McKiniey and Sherman wiil ailow the Senate to drive them into a con- flict. The country is willing to go to war rather than discuss the independence or sale of Cuba or tolerate foreign interven- tion. GUARD THE CONSULATE. Spanish Troops Will Pravent Any Insult to Consul-General Lee. KEY WEST, Fra, May 21.—It is ru- mored here that a mob in Havana has made demonstrations against the Ameri- can consulate. The report is not cor- roborated, however. There is considerable excitement in Havana over Washington reports, and it is understooa that the palace officials are greatly worried over recent 1eports sent them by De Lome. The Spanish officials, fearing some out- break by the people when the news got out, quietly placed a guard of troops around the American consulate, though they are ostensibly placed there to guard another building, ALL AMERICANS BARRED. Prince Luigi Wis®® His Expedition to WMount St, Elias to Be Exclusively lwalian. BOSTON, Mass., May 2L—Prince Luigi barsall Americans from his expedition to Mount 8t. Elias. The Appalachian Moun- tain Club is greatly interested in his ex- pedition, but it will not take part in it. Correspondence has been maintained be- tween Sella, the Italian photographer, and Professor C. E. Fay of the Appala- chians. In one of these letters Sella thus expresses himself: *The voung Duca Deg'i Abruzzi is jealous to keep for his expedition an ex- clusively Italian character and would be sorry should anything occur to make it appear otherwise.”” The Prince brings with him & party of friends who are experienced in mountain ascents, including Seila and probably others of the Italian Alpine clubs and a party of five guides, who have been selected from the wmost skilled of those on the Italian side of the Alps. No Appala- chian or other American will be a member of the climbing party. On the other hand the Appalachians will not be guilty of the discourtesy of permitting this exploring party-of repre- sentatives of interests so allied to its own to pass through our country without re- ceiving such aid as wiil serve to bring it most easily to the scene of its real alpine activities and to give it the greatest pos- sible assistance within these lines. Pro- fessor Fay has therefore been exceedingly interested in securing transportation fa- ciiities, including a smail steamer for use beyond Sitka and Porters to carry pro- visions to the base of the mountain, and the fallest possible supply of information regarding the mountain and its difficul- ties, all of which the club is very glad to do toaid the visitors. ey G UNITED STATES CONSULS. Atter a Tour of the World Chisf Chilton Has Glcwing Words for the Service. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.—Chief of the State Department’s Consular Bureau Chilton returned from a trip around the worid inspecting consulates and will sub- mit a detailed report to Secretary Sher- man upon the general system. He visited every United States consulate in Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Ltaly and the smaller countries of Europe and then crossed to Egypt. In Europe Chil- ton found the service on the whole in ex- cellent condition, although be will report that several barnacles in the Government employ for years might be removed and their places filled by competent men. He says no consular system in the world 13 better than ours and that European of- ficials are now admitting that United States Consuls are doing more for their Government than those of any other country. In Cbina and Japan Chilton found some defects in the prevailing sys- tem. Asaresult of hs tour a general re- arrangement of the present system will probably be ordered. —_— CUSTA KICA PHEUTESTS, Olney’s Letter Interferes With Nicara- guan Canal Megotiations. WASHINGTON, D.

The protest is said to be the re- sult of the recent action of Minister Rod: guez of the Greater Republic of Cent: America in presenting the letter of ex- Secretary Olney protesting against the Nicaraguan canal Eiu then mslng in the Senate.

It Is Proposed to Pay Poor Rates and County Cess Out of the Exchequer. One of the Greatest Reforms to Be Carried Out Under the S fest Conditions. LONDON, Exc., May 2L—First Lord of the Treasury and Government Leader Balfour made an important statement in |’ the House of Commons to-day regarding the Government's Irish policy, which will be carried out next session. He said it was the intention of the Gov- ernment to place both the poor law and the country’s administration on a broad, popular basi Landlords will be relieved of all rural rates. At present land-owners are liable for half of the poor rates, which the Government proposes to pay herealter out of the imperial fund. Tenants are liable for the other balf of the poor rates and toe county cess. The Government proposes hereafter to pay the county cess out of the imperial fund. Buifour explained that this double benefit to the two classes would enable the Government to launcb a scheme for | local government. He could not give the details of this scheme, which would piacea large charge upon the exchequer; but it was a charge which the country at large and the Unionists would not grudge if thereby they could see the way to carry out the reforms to which they had pledged themselv:s. Balfour tnought every classof the coun- try was disposed to favor what must prove one of the greatest reforms carried out under the safest conditions ever sug- wested. Loud cheers greeted the announcement of this Irish relief policy. FATHER KNEIPPE CALLED 70 REST Continued from First Page. spired by a Bavarian priest, the Abbe Kneipre, and cousists 1 packs and local cold water applications. It condemns shower-baths and all surface friction. The use of the towel is absolutely forbidden. Once wet the patient must remain wet till dried by nature. The devotees wring their nightgowns out in the basin and go to bed in them. They also wear wet stockings a specified length of time each day or walk bare- footed in wet grass or snow. They may not take coffee or liquor, or wear flannel or silk, or furs or corsets. The regimen 18 severe and the garment worn near the skin, summer or winter, is of coarse, brown linen, known as Carmelite or Kneippiste linen. Naturally this beroic Carmelitist treat- ment is easiest followed in the country, | The Late Father Kneippe. and within a short time the abbe’s little village of Woerischoffen in Bavaria has become a place of pilgrimage so renowned that in five months last summer nearly 20,000 visitors, it is said, registered there. 1. is the quality of these visitors that at- tracts attention, for they number among them such important personages asthe Rothschilds of Vienna, the Duke and Duchess Paul of Mecklenburg, the Duke d’Alencon, the Infanta Maria Therese of Portugal, the Persian Shah’s daughter and Bishops, patriarchs and papal nun- cios. The things that such people do every- body else wants to do, and so the Kneippe cure is the fashion. Moreover rome value has been found in it. The German physicians who began by pooh-poohing have ended by ecertify- ing that the humble abbe is a natural physician and his system worth the atten- tion of the scientifically trainea doctor, and everybody in the German countries to-day has Kneippiste literature' in the hand. As to Father Kneippe himself he seems to bear modestly his honors, which have recently culminated in his being manded to Rome to treat the Pope. Credit is evi- dently due him for a disinterested effort to bring luxury-enfeebled people back to nature, and the simple and reguiar life of the orders appear to. have furnished him the model. The matter has ernded by reaching France and there are, it is said, already several Kneippiste journals, pharmacies and physicians, and the gossip is of a Kneippe institution to treat invalids at Paris. DINGLEY'S TARIFF BILL. It Will Soon Come Up for Consideration in the Senate, but Can't Become a Law' by July 1. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 2L.—ltis probable that the Dingley tarift bill, as re- vised by the Senate Committee on Fi- nance, will be called up for action in the Senate Monday, according to the pro- gramme already agreed upon, unless the Senate shall adjourn immediately after the meeting out of respect to the memory of the late Senator Earle of South Caro- liza, Bhould this action take place the a tariff bill will.come up Tuesday, an Aldrich, as spokesman of the Republican members of the Finance Committee, will explain its provisi-ns in detail to the Een- ate in a speech which be bas been busily working upon for the past few days. Pre- liminary to the consideration of the bill in tbe Senate the Republican Senators will hold a caucus Monday morning to agree upon a plan for controlling the time of debate, which under the rules of the Senate can only be done by an amicable understanding. 1t is probable the work of considering the schedules will begin promptly, with- out any formal preliminary speeches on either side, except that of Aldrich, and possibly a rejoinder from Vest as spokes- man for the minority of the Finance Com- mittee. On both sides of the chamber there is an evident desire to dispose of the bill at the earliest day, but promises origi- nally made by the Senators in charze that it will bea law by July 1 can hardly be kept.

Chicago Police Claim That the Noose Is T.ghtening Around the Sausage Manutacturer’s Neck. CHICAGO, 111, May 2L—Frank Bial, formerly night watchman at Luetgert’s sausage factory, bas iniormed the police that a few nights before thedisappearance of Mrs. Luetgert he helped his employer tofill the vatin which the police say the woman’s body was destroyed. The con- tents, he says, were of a different charac- ter from what had ever before been used, and he burned his hand so badly that he had to carry itin a sling for a week. Analytical chemists say that the flesh and bones in and about the vat are human. More bloodstains and hbair, said to be | human, have been found, and the police claim that tie noose is tightening around Luetgert’s neck. There are still many persons who be- lieve him innocent and that Mrs. Luet- gert will yet be found alive. The testi- mony of credible witnesses who have claimed to have seen her near Kenosha since the date of the alleged murder will, they believe, be fully substantiated.
