NEW YORK, Oct. 24—A World cable irom Madrid suys: The Spanish Minister of Co Senor Moret, made to the ‘World correspondent yesterday the follow- ing staiement of the new Liberal Govern- cy in reference 1o Cuba: rnment purposes to carry out its programme and follow the advice President Cleveland and Secretary Olney ave to Premier Canovas.

The cabinet councils are to be presided over by a governor-general, but he will have no right to veto. ““Cuba, as contemplated in Mr. Giaa- stone’s home-rule scheme for Ireland, will continue to be represented in the Spanish Cortes by Senators and Deputies. The imperial government and the Cortes will retain control of the army, navy, foreign affairs ana judiciary of the colony, which will aefray the expenses of those depart- ments, “The Insvlar Parliament will be entirely elected by universal suffrage. In case of a disagreement between the houses and the responsible local government there will be the right of appeal to the country, like the Bwiss referendum, for important matters only. ““The government is confident that all Cutan parties will co-operate in carrying out this policy and expects much from the coolness and conciliatory spirit of Mar- shal Blanco.” Senor Moret counts upon the support not ovly of autonomists in Cuba and ibeir representa ivesin Spain butaiso of auton- omists restdent elsewhere in Europe. — e CRITICAL S1AGE KEACHED, Spanish Press on the Controversy With the United States. LONDON, Oct. 24.—The Madrid corre- spondent of the Daily Mailsays: The (Spanish press unanimously supports the ttitude of the Government, which it :ls eminently sober and dignified, but ¢ impression is that the controversy with the United States has reached a critical stage, which may be the prelude to a rupture.

Dr. Cobern Tells of the Finding of an Entire Page of the New Tes- tament by Or. Petrie. DENVER, Oct. 24—Rev. Dr. Cobern star:led the congregation of Trinity Metho- dist Episcopal Church to-night by declar- ing that for the first time he was prepared to tel! of the discovery of an entire page of the New Testament at Oxmyrnchus by Dr. Petrie. The speaker did not want this find to be confounded with that of the papyri scraps containing the writings of Christ. The leaf contained first chapter of Matthew, and was almost identical in lines with the Greek Testa- ment of to-day. The discovery was con- figed to Dr. Cobern three weeks ago when he Jeft Dr. Petrie, by reason of the fact that Dr. Cobern is secretary of the society that had undertaken the researches. The speaker aelivered an eloquent ser- mon based on the find, proving conclu- sively that the early Chrisuans baa the same views and beliefs as those of the modern church. The book from which the page was {aken was said to be the earliest authentic record of Christianity. Among the verses which are authenti- cated by the find the following were cite “Jesus said except you fast to the world veshall nowise find the kingdom of God.” “Except you Sabbatize the Sabbath you shall not see the father,”” gain Jesus said 1 went into the midst of the world and in the flesh was I | seen of them, and I found all men drunk and nome found I athirst among them, and my seul grieved over the sons of man.” LURING POLITICAL LIGHTNING BOLTS Numerous Rods Reared Sky- ward by Seekers for State Offices. But Few of the Incumbents Would Object to Remaining Where They Are. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SACRAMENTO, Oct, 24.—The Gover- nor’s chariot race will not be the only event in the coming political hippodrome, there are other tourneys coming off and tiits of some importance at that. Th successor of Becretary of State Brown may come from Santa Clara County, and if he does it will probably be Paul Austin, ex-Mayor of Jose, and a very strong man in every way. His candidacy may be complicated somewhat in the fight friends of Judge Lorigan will make for a place on the Supreme bench. It will probably be ad- justed, however, provided, of course, that Morehouse does not achieve his cherishei ambition to head the ticket. Surveyor-General Wright wants to suc- ceed himself and Treasurer Rackliffe would not object to remaining in Sacra- mento another four yegrs. N. W. Douglas, who 4as been withi Col- gan eight years, might take his chiet’s place, provided the latter should be given the gubernatorial plum. A. J. Johnston has put up a mile or two of fence around the Printing Office reser- vation and no doubt will be given the benefits of “improvements necessary to confer title,”” It was rumored for a while that Harry Rogers, the popular foreman of the State printing establishment, was being urged by bis friends to “stand in,” but those who know of his fidelity to Johnston say he will not venture in the race against his chief. Assemblyman Guy of San Diego, chair- man of the Ways and Means Committee at tbe last cession of the Legislature, will in all probability ask for the nomination which will bestow upon him the Attorney- Generalship. Frank D. Ryan had a covetous eye on tnis billet, bat seeing that, with Johnston’s place on the ticket and a Supreme Judge or two from Sacra- mento in addition, it would be asking too much for his scction, ne has resolved to beat the same bushes Grove L. Johnson whacked at a year ago. There is a chance for some good Repub- lican to retire La Kue from tne Railroad Commission if he will but make himself known. Friends of John F. Davis of Am- ador will try to persuade him to accept it, although John F. has announced that he is out of politics, and would attend con- ventions in the interest of friends only. There is a good job on the Board of Equ ization, too, which as yet is without a claimant. Superintendent of Schools Black is by no means dissatistied, and would not mind another term if thrust upon him. The State Librarian tight is won and J. L. Gillis will be elected at the first meet- ing of the new Board of Trustees, which convenes early next year. ‘Ward, who is Supreme Court Clerk, will try again, and if McCreany’s Bryan raper doesn’t come out too strong for him he will probably win. Taking 1t all in all, the situation at the capital shows a wonderfal unanimity in the willingness of the State servants to continue in theirservice of the people. o 5 et Accidentally Shoots Himself.

Berger's Slayer Found Not Guilty by the Jury. | \ John Schlegel Upheld for the Killing of His Wife’s Assailant. Close of a Most Sensatlonal Case at Kansas City by a Verdict Returned on Sunday. Special Dispateh to THE CALL. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 24.—John Schlegel, who one afterroon in July last, in the center of the city, shot and killed Dr. A. L. Berger, one of the most promi- nent local men in his profession, was ac- quitted at noon to-day. The jurors had been out siuce last evening, and reached their verdict on the sixteenth ballot. The first formal ballot stood seven to fivs for acquittal. Notwithstanding it was Sunday the courtroom was crowded when the jury re- turned its finding, and the spectators gave veut to their feelings by shouts and ap- plause, The case has been on befare Judge Wof- | ford in the Criminal Court for the past week, and criwds have thronged the courtroom daily. Probablv no case in the annals of the city has proved so sensa- tional as this one. * John Schlegel is a German grocer whose | wife and two children had been attended by Dr. Berger as their physician for years. Last November Mrs. Schlegel told her husband that Berger had criminally as- saulted her while she was in his office. Schlegel made mauy threats on the doc- tor’s life, and at noon on July 8 starred out with a six-shooter, bent on avenging | the wrong alleged to have been done his | family. Schlegei came across Berger at Twelfth | and Wainut streets, one of the busiest cerners in the city. Without warning, save an incoherent threat, Schlegel ap- | proached the doctor from behind and fired | ashot into his body. The doctor, recog- | nizing his assailant, made for a near-by | door. He never reachea it, for a second | bullet from Schlegel’s revoiver brought kim 10 the ground. Dr. Berger died on the way to the hos- pital without having uttered more than two or three unintelligible words. The | announcement of his murder created the profoundest sensation. After committing the crime Schlegel stood unmoved, the smoking revolver in his hand, and awaited arrest. He was told that the doctor might | live, and his only remark was, “I am | sorry I did not Kkili nim; he has ruined | my home.” An angry crowd came near | wreaking vengeance on the murderer ba- fore he reached the jail. Dr. Berger was the son of Dr. Adolph | Berger of Lebanon, Ill., who was one of | the German patriots that sought refuge | in this country years ago, and one of the | faculty of the Kansas City Medical Col- lege. | One of the most sensational phases of the trial was the production of a letter | which Schlegel, teiore the killing, had seut to County Prosecutor Frank M. Lowe, suggesting financial compromise with Berge: | CROKER'S WEAIH FLEETING. | Tammany’s Dictator Said to Re Los- | ing the Fortune He Acquired in New York Politics. NEW YORK, Oct. 24.—Anent the dec- laration of Henry George to make Richard Croker take ship if he is elected Mayor and that Croker got his fortune dishon- estly, a cableeram from London to the World says that Tammany’s dictator has been spending at the rate of $200,000 a year on the Eaglish turf to maintain his racing establishment. Though his experience on racecourses were a long string of losses, he continued to spend money like a Monte Cristo. This in the light of the fact just brougnt out bere that in 1887, Croker was paying$25a month rent for his family of six, had no money and owed some $200, according to his own story, and therefore desired the political position of fire commissione: which he got, has aroused greater indigna- tion than ever over the accumulation of Croker's great fortune. In 1896 Croker’s string was increased to twenty-one snimals, suowing he was in no way dismayed by the immense losses of the preceding season. His stable then included Santa Anita, Sir Excess, Amer- icus, Eau Gallie, Montauk, Nora, Nash- ville, Aibany, Georgi New Hamp- shire, Princeton, Susan, Westchester, Harvard, Antietam, Nantucket, Charter Oak, Lafayette, Lexington, Manhatian and Red Banner. Atone time he had between twenty-five and thirty siablemen and boys employed at Letcombe, and some fiiteen others apout bisy house. Croker cannot keep up under $40,000 a year, apart from his bet- ting, which 1 well known to be far the heaviest item of his expenditure. —_———— Prodably Urugged and Rovbed. MIDDLETOWN, N.

The treasury officials say that notwithstanding the charges made against Hock Toy of Victopia that he wrote the letters which reached the Treasury Department, and which purport to have been written by Yee Gee, the lat- ter is undoubtediy guiity of smugghing.

OCEAN DISASTER BARELY AVERTED British Ship Falls of Clyde Almost Run Down by a Collier. Less Than Two Feet Separates the Vessels as They Pass During a Storm. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. ASTORIA, Oct. 24 —Captain Anderson of the four-masted British ship Falls of Clyde, which arrived -to-day, telis of a very narrow escape of his vessel from dis- aster in Friday's gale. : “It was 9:35 in the evening of Friday,” he suid to THE CaLL correspondent to- day, “when I saw looming up in the dark- ness about a mile and a quarter distant, and southbound, what appearel to be a large steamer. Captain Woods was my pilot and I was walking the deck with a blue light in my pocket, for it was a nasty night and I bad sighted other shipsin the vicinity. We made ordinary signals, but the steamer paid no attention to us. I did not like to barn my blue light, for I had been compeliea to use a good many in Bhanghai and was short. “Nearer the ships were coming together and it was impossible in the storm and nd wiere it was for usto do n ‘we did to get out of the steamer’s track. A collision with ail its horrors seemed inevitable. The steamer kept steadily on her course. In & mo- ment more the pilot sang out to me: “‘‘Light your blue light, captain!

She is one of those big colliers and wili run us down ! “I fired my biue light and held it aloft while we held our breath and sent a prayer out into the storm that the steam- er’s officers would see us and change tneir course. In what seemed only a second the big collier swept past us on our star- board side and not two feet from us, almost raking our side fore and aft.

One Man Killed, Anoiher Fatally Crushed and a Third Bad y Injured. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 24.—The care- lessness of & switchman in the Southern Pacificyards this evening caused the death of one man and serious injury to two others, one of wnom will die. He threw the wrong switch and sent a Southern Pacific paycar crashing into the yard engine, which was standing still on a siding. Engineer Frank Orr, Fireman Lemas- ters and William Hitehcock, a biacksmith in the shops, were standing on the tail- board of the engine and were pinned between the platform of the car and the locomotive. Both of Lemasters’ lezs were broken, and he died at 8 o'clock to-nignt, an hour after the disaster. Hitchcock’s back was broken, and bis death is certain. He was sent to the Oakland Hospital to- night. Engineer Orr suffered the fracture of four ribs and was otherwise badly bruised. His condition is not considered dangerous, but he will be confined 1o his bed for some weeks to come. Lemasters, who lost his life in the acci- dent, was a young man, a native of In- diana, and lived with his parents here. The engineer and fireman have spent years in the Southern Pacific service. Four physicians did all that was possible to re- lieve the sufferers. The damage to the paycar and engine was slight as the car was moving slowly. A Coroner’s inquest will be held 10-mor- row and tbe blame forthe disaster wili probably be fixed upon the switchman, but as his mistake was unintentional he will in all likelihood escape with a cen- sure. e B R IGNORED IN HI>s WIFE'S WILL.

Just think now as to whether you have eith'r one of these symptoms. Ifyou have beware! There's dunger ahead. Is your skin dry? Is your hair getting gray? | Isthe scalp ary and the hair brittle? Do the legs feel too heavs ? Is there nausea aiter eating? Do the joints pa‘n and ache? Are the eyes duil and staring? Is there pain in the smail of back? Has your perspiration a bad odor? Have you chills running down the back? Do spots sppear before your eyes? Do your fect or hands ever sweli? Do you have unpleasant dreams? Now each and cvery one of these sympe toms indicates something wrong with the kidneys, and itis by no means necessary that vou should feel them ali in order to be sure that you have some form of kidney trouble. Even two or three will show that you need treatment immediately. The best thing you can do is to take a slip of paper and answer these questions truth- fully and send your reply to the grand old | Hudsoa Medical Institute, at the corner of | Market, Stockton and Eilis sireets.
