Success of the Talented Woman in Her Writing the Cause of the Ensuing Estrangement. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, March 19.—Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the well- known author of *Little Lord Fauntle- roy,” “A Lady of Quality,” “His Grace of Osmonde,” and other books which have gained wide circulation, to-day in- stituted divorce proceedings in the Su- | preme Court of the District of Colum- bia against her husband, Dr. Swan M. Burnett. The grounds upon which a | decree is asked is desertion and failure to support. The charge, to a large ex- tent, is purely technical. For about three years Mrs. Burnett and her hus- band have lived apart, and none of their intimate friends were surprised to-day to learn that steps had been taken to secure a legal separation. The circumstances which led up tc and caused action to be taken to se- cure a divorce cover a considerable period of years. During her early ca- reer it is d that Dr. Burnett was very proud of his wife's ability, and the first years of their married life were happy. Two children were born— Lionel, who died several years ago, and Vivian, who is now 21 years old. and a student at Harvard. According to an impression which generally pre- vails, he was the boy character upon which Mrs. Burnett founded her story of “Little Lord Fauntleroy.” Intimate friends of both Dr. and Mrs. Burnett had known for a long time of their strained relations and they only remained as husband and wife for the sake of their child, and until he should become of age and able%o care for him- self. All during the time that he was in the High School in this city, there was domestic discord. Husband and wife were rarely ever seen together, and conducted themselves toward one another only as acquaintances. Burnett is a woman of pleasing ap- pearance and much personal magnet- ism. While her husband is of less than ordinary stature and is a cripple, it is said, too, that while a man of some means, an oculist enjoying a large practice and a writer on scientific sub- jects, he nevertheless grew jealous of his wife’s reputation, which exceeded his, as did also her fortune from her 00kS. While their son was preparing to go to college and Mrs. Burnett was on her Mrs. | EMPEROR WILLIAM A DIPLOMAT Clever Ruse in Ignor- ing . a Sliyht i of Prince Regent. Evades a Visit to Bavaria, Remembering Insults of the Past. New Decrees Expected to Be Directed Against American Goods in Germany. NEW MEAT INSPECTION. United States Consuls Fear It Will Ee Construed Unfairiy and Seri- ously Injure Imports. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. BERLIN, March 19.—The strained | relations between the Prince Regent of Bavaria and the Emperor were strikingly illustrated by the former’s invitation asking his Majesty to at- tend the unveiling of a bust of Em- peror William I in the Walhall at Ra- tishon, although it was known to everybody that the Emperor had ar- ranged to unveil the same day three statues in honor of his ancestors on the Sieges Allee. The Regent's invita- tion was evidently intentionally sent so late that it was impossible to change the plans. The Emperor re- plied to the slight characteristically by deputizing Prince Frederick Henry the youngest and least®important of the Prussian princes, to attend the ceremony at Ratisbon in his behalf. In court circles, it is said, Emperor ‘William still most unpleasantly re- members his reception at Nuremberg last summer, when the people shouted insulting epithets at him. It is believed in parliamentary cir- cles that an important resolution will be introduced in the Diet by the Agrarian leaders, Von Mendel and Ring, asking for a uniform and rigor- ous inspection of meats at frontier stations and urging the Government to exert influence to secure a similar decree from the Bundesrath. If it be passed the measure will be a hit at all foreign meats, and the United States Consuls fear it may be construed unfairly and seriously injure American imports. The sugar manufacturers of the Rhine, at a special meeting just held, have requested the Government to inform them definitely whether the proposed conference on the sugar bounty question is to meet at Brussels. There is widespread complaint at the delay and uncertainty. The belief that the conference would meet in February had largely. affected sales and pur- chases, and {its failure to meet would have a disastrous effect on prices.

Old-timers on the Yukon and the | 1ate comers who have been in the coun- | try long enough to become familiar with the general conditions, and also the representatives of the Alaska Com- | lmercial Company and the North Amer- ican Trading and Transportation Com- pany are fearfully apprehensive of the conditions that will prevail at Dawson | and on the Yukon next winter as a re- | sult of the rapidly increasing popula- | tion of the region. How all the incom- | | ing thousands are going to be fed is| the worrying question. Notwithstand- | | ing the amount of provisions that was taken in last year by the commercial | | companies and individuals, the recent | food shortage and starvation scare re- | sulted. A hundred men are going in this year to one last year. Even if the state of water in the Yu- kon is at its best and permits two or | three round trips by the many steam- | ships from St. Mickael, sufficient food | cannot be taken in. But the state of | water in the Yukon is a very uncertain | quantity. { It is so problematical that only one | trip is as likely to be made as two or| three.

The latest finds at | THE POSTAL BILL PASSED All Objections to the Big Appropriations Are Overcome. But Mr. Loud Has a Lively Time in Replying to Criticisms. Calls Down Silver Dick Bland and Says Uncomplimentary Things About Colleague Castle. Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, March 19. There was a hot time in the House | this afternoon during the consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill. | There were heated colloquies between | Loud of California, chairman of the committee, and Representative Bland | of Missouri, and again between Loud and Castle. Later in the day Barlow | of California took a hand in the pro- ceedings, and denounced Jerry Simp- son, a brother Populist, for voting sub- sidies to railroads. Last night, just before the close of | the session, Chairman Loud excited the ire of Bland and the Democratic side by proposing to cut short the vote on the item for railroad mail transportation. Bland intimated that Loud was show- ing favoritism to railroads, and de- | nounced the appropriation of $30,500,000 as being wildly extravagant, and that the increase of $1,700,000 over.the ap- propriation of last year was unwar- ranted. Loud did not have sufficlent time to reply to Bland yesterday afternoon, as the session was near its close, but this morning shortly after the House met he arose in his place, and vigorously de- nounced the Missourian. Loud averred that he cared not for the criticisms of the press when such criticism was un- just, nor did he care for utterances made by gentlemen on the floor when they did not bear the imprint of truth. “Some time ago,” he said, ‘‘a com- mittee came down here from Brooklyn to urge a measure pending before Congress. They returned to their | homes and declared that I had char- acterized them as ‘a pack of damned asses,” but this was not the truth lit- erally. Damned asses is not one of my phrases. A great press association telegraphed broadcast over this coun- try that my domineering manner in refusing amendments offered had de- feated .the Loud postal bill. That as- sociation is now enjoying the court- esies of this House and its representa- tives are permitted to sit upon our floor, but yet the reporter of the Bung- | town Bladdér, with 100 circulation, would have better sense than to inti- mate that Congressmen are governed by petty prejudice when it comes to casting their votes on great appropria- tions. The gentleman from Missouri said that I was opposing any reduc- tions in the appropriations to rail- roads for mall transportation. My position upon this quéstion is well known, for I have repeatedly said that the pay of railroads for such seryice should be reduced. I have never yet seen the time when I could not afford to I honest, and when that time comes I hope to God that I may sink down to perdition where dishonest men properly belong. The gentleman from Missouri, as every member upon that side of the House knows, has simply been playing to that part ofthe gallery which in a theater is known as the ‘nigger heaven.’ When I was a long. They decay mentally and physi- cally.”” Bland in reply said that no one on the floor would impugn Loud’s hon- esty of purpose, but might criticize his management of the bill. At another stage of the discussion Loud became engaged in a colloquy with his colleague from California, Cas- tle, who had been arguing in favor of a reduction of this appropriation for mail transportation. Castle proposed that the amount be reduced from thirty millions to three millions eight hundred thousand, claiming that this would be | equivalent to 1 cent per pound on 380,- 000,000 pounds. Loud turned upon his California colleague and in tones of deep disgust said: “If I had a 10-year-old boy, Mr. Chairman, who was as ignorant of facts and got his figures so confused, or so inaccurate as my associate from California, I would be tempted to drown him for a damned fool.” (Great laugh- ter.) Loud explained that the Postoffice Committee in fixing the amount to be paid railroads acted on the estimates submitted by the Postoffice Department and that it was incumbent upon Con- gress to provide the department with the amount requested for railroad mail transportation. After further debate the House passed the postoffice appropriation bill, which has been under consideration since Wednesday. of attack to-day were the appropria- | tions of $30,000,000 for railway transpor- tation of mails and $171,000 for special facilities between New York and New Orleans, and $25,000 for gpecial facilities from Kansas City to wewton, Kan less of a contest. position seemed to be less intense. All efforts to reduce the appropriation for railroad transportation signally failed, and the vote on the Southern mail sub- sidy was 77 to 98 against striking out. By peat parliamentary maneuvering vented from getting a direct vote on a motion to recommit with instructions. —_— BOY ROBBERS COME T0 GRIEF Twelve Lads Had Erected Huts With Modern Elec- trical Appliances. Material for Their Dime Novel Ar- rangements Secured by Raids on Dwellings. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. March 19.—A gang of twelve belonging to the best families in Wallaston, a fashionable suburb, was arrested to-day. Back in the woods the boys had erected several small huts in regular dime novel style, and there had stored their plunder. The little shanties were connected with wires and bells, and the boys had a regular electric outfit in running order. It is alleged the boys ab- stracted the signal boxes of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad at Wallaston. The unoccupied houses owned by Nathan Nickerson and Henry Fenno at Wallaston and Henry G. Fay and the John Holden estate at Wallaston Park were entered and the electric bells and connections stolen. They also broke into the clubhouse of the Wallaston Golf Club_at Norfolk Downs and golf sticks and balls were stolen from the lockers. They were recovered a few days after the burglary by Officer Connolly in a cluvert near the Wallaston depot. The ages range from 8 This embryo Jesse James gang had built a number of huts in the thickets of the lowlands of Wallaston, where they had hiddden their plunder. They had utilized the electrical appliances stolen from the houses mentioned to connect the huts for electrical communication. The members of the youthful gang belong to very good families, and the injured parties are dis- inclined to prosecute the offenders. For this reason the police refuse to divulge the names of the boys. - Farmers May Yet Hope.

Close of the Battle Fought on the Trans-Atlantic Cable. Announcement of the Result Greeted With Hearty Cheers In London. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. | NEW YORK, March 19.—The interna- | tional chess match between Great Brit- ain and the United States begun yes- | terday was won by the Britishers by 5% to 41 games. Last year the Amer- jcans were defeated by their British opponents by exactly the same figures, while in the first match, played two | years ago, the Americans were victori- ous by 414 to 312 games. Following are the details of the play on all the boards: Pillsbury played a queen's gambit against Blackburn, who declined to ac- | cept_the gambit pawn. Later Pilisbury | managed to _establish a passed pawn on | the king's fight, which seemed to be & great ntage. However, the advan- tage seemed not strong enough to win, although Pillsbury sacrificed his pawn tg get an attack, and he was finally obliged to_accept a drav Showalter, against Burn, also played a queen's gam declined and was mas- terly throughout, his brilliant sacrifica being a piece of work which gave the Kentuckian the victor: The Bostonian, - rry, selected a queen’s gambit opening ’against Caro.

His French defense against the Scottish champion, Mills, was weakly played. The latter secured the exchange and left Del- mar in a hopeless position, when he re- signed. A long drawn out game Tesulted be- tween Baird and Locock. This was an even contest throughout. From the be- ginning to the end neither side was abls to claim any distinctive advantage at any age of the game, and S0 & draw was the only legi 1t.

It in- sures the adoption of the most impor- tant measures pending in the Reichs- tag and Diet, while it furnishes the voters with definite issues for the com- | ing campaign. The main issue will be | the commercial treaties, now pending, which are largely in favor of indus- trial interests and detrimental to agri- cultural interest. They formerly met with the Emperor's approval, and brought honors to General von Capriv the former Chancellor, their frame: The new treaties, according to the Gov- | ernment, promise to be more favorable | to_agriculturists. The Agrarian election manifesto just issued is signed by the leaders of the different conservative factions, and by part of the National Liberal and Cen- trist parties, the new amalgamation ent representation in the Reichstag and over half the Diet. In opposition to this combination, all the liberal and radical factions have. hooted these issues and they will be supported by the socialists in uphold- ing the many lines of the political treaties. ~The campaign has been opened throughout Germany. The commercial convention, sitting this week in Berlin, representing all the chambers of commerce and large in- dustrial firms of the country, unani- mously passed a resolution in favor of the present treaties. The Centrists having a hundr-d votes in the Reichstag, and consequently the balance of power, are strenuously op- posed to forcing a new issue, as likely to disrupt the party, which is already split upon the naval bill and military reform bill, part supporting them and others, mostly the'South Germans, op- posing them. As a counter-demonstra- tion to that of the soclalists and Lib- erals in honor of the celebration, the officers of the Garde du Corps decor- ated the monument over the graves of the soldiers in the street fights, the Emperor causing a wreath with his initials to be deposited at the foot of the memorial column.

The present rate of the exodus to the Klondike, from | 1000 to 2000 people a week being dumped | into Dyea, Skaguay and Fort Wrangel, | already makes the food question a very serious one. Before the open season | closes people with large outflts, owing to the congestion on the trails, will drop | | most of their freight and g on to Daw- son with what they can get in, just as they did last season. The matter of allowing no gold to be shipped out of Dawson, or, if sent at all, to ship it secretly under another name, is being seriously considered in Dawson. Some action along this line may, from information available at the coast gateways at this time, be looked for. Consequently the public may not be surprised or disappointed if the Ex- celsior and other first ships from St. | Michael next June do not bring out any visible or announced quantity of gold. Perhaps a search in the coal bunkers might discover a few sacks, tfe con- :ents of which will be heavy and yel- ow. Every man who has come out of the | Klondike during the last sixweeks, with whom I have talked, has said that if the present rush to the Yukon country runs on apace there will be unparalleled suffering, starvation and death there as sure as ice forms in the Arctic cir- cle. It is estimated by the latest out- comers over the 600 miles of frosty trail that the spring clean-up of gold from Bonanza, El Dorado, Hunker, Do- minion and the other tributaries of the Klondike will amount to between §7,- 000,000 and $10,000,000.
