LITTLE GENERAL INTEREST BRELATIVES OF THE PRINCE REMAIN AWAY. None of the Well-Known Adherents of the Great Chancellor ! Appear at the 1 \w, Church. 'QA ! Spectal Dispatch to. The Call. ./ BERLIN, Aug. 4.—To-day’s ceremony | was brilliant and impressive as regards court display, but quite disappointing in pther respects. It bore traces of haste and half-heartedness. The church was inadequately decorated and the public displayed no enthusiasm in the ceremonial, which, so far from having the exceptional character of great na- tional mourning for a great statesman, differed hardly any from hundreds of similar functions that may be wit- nessed here at any time. Perhaps the most disappointing fea- ture, though it was known beforehand, was the fact that not a single member of the Bismarck family attended. The royal pew, set apart for their accom- modation, remained significantly empty. It must be admitted that the deceased statesman was not altogether popular with the masses in Berlin, .but on such an occasion this alone could hardly account for the sparseness and nondescript character of the public at- tracted to the scene. The bitterness of the old chancellor toward the young Kaiser seems to reach beyond death. To-day’s incident was emphasized by the fact that Prince Herbert Bismarck came to Berlin during the afternoon on private business. The proceedings were characterized by the utmost simplicity, but the Em- peror’s invitations in the official world were liberally responded to, many of the leading men coming from distant places for the sole purpose of being present. The Emperor and Empress arrived by train at Charlottenburg and drove to the church in an open. lan- dau, drawn by four horses with pos- tillions, preceded by outriders and es- cortéd by two squadrons of culrassiers. Shortly after the service they left for Wilhelmshohe. The Kings and Federal Princes of the empire were not there in person, but only by representatives. All present wore mourning except those who appeared in uniform. 7The pres- ence of Dr. Carl von Boetticher, for- mer Prussian Minister of the Interior, attracted much attention. A company of the | Guards constituted a guard of honor. This regiment had old relations with the late Prince and sent its band to serenade him after Blind’'s attempt on his life. Thé American Embassador, Andrew Second Foot | White; and the Spanish Embassador, Senor Mendez de Vigo, arrived almost together and sat side by side. The ab- sence of all well-known adherents of the Bismarcks was most noted, es- peciallv as many of them came up to Berlin immediately after the death, pre- sumably to confer on the attitude they would . observe. Their Majesties took seats in two arm chairs in front of the altar. The Em- peror wore the uniform of the Foot Guards and the Empress was in simple mourning attire. The church was not filled by those that were invited, so some of the remaining congregation obtained admittance. On entering Em- peror William shook hands with Prince Hohenlohe, the Chancellor. After the singir~ of a choral came “Gott Thut Das Ist Wohlgeban,”" and the hymn, “Jesus Lebt.” Dr. Faber offered an extempore prayer, based on the 149th psalm, which he said had once been commended to Prince Bismarck, at an important crisis in his life, by an | old friend as a source of comfort and strength and which the departed had often quoted. The prayer was a Ger- manic pean of triumph and gratitude for the achlevements of Bismarck and his contemporaries. One passage ran thus: ““All who speak the German tongue will laud Thee to the most distant days, and the hearts of their singers will praise Thee in ever fresh strains be- cause through him and through all those loyal, great men who stood by the | side of King Willlam in the perilous deeds of war and in the noble work of peace Thou didst show Thy good pleas- ure in us and didst gloriously help us. Thou gavest into their hands sharp swords to execute vengeance among the nations who set themselves against us and to bind their kings and nobles with fron chains and with fetters of the might of our armies, but afterward with the gentle bonds of reverence for true greatness so that they were forced to do right as it is written on the tables the right of the re-established German empire and the right of the German name, once again come to honor. Be- cause all that swells the patriot's breast with joyful exultation is bound up with the name of Bismarck, we therefore thank Thee that Thou didst give him to us.” After the choral, “O, Haupt Voll Blut und Wunden,” as their Majesties left the church, the organ burst into their | favorite hymn, and the crowd outside gave the Emperor and Empress hearty cheers as they drove away. FRIEDRICHSRUHE, Aug. 4.—A magnificent wreath bearing the " in- scription “The German Reichstag to the First Chancellor of the German Empire” was laid to-day upon the cof- fin of the late Prince Bismarck by a | delegation composed of former Vice- President Spahn, Dr. Bochem and Herr Gergheim; Councillor of Accounts. Prince Herbert Bismarck, Count Wil- liam and the Countess Von Rantzau, coming to Friedrichsruhe for this spe- cial purpose, received the delegation and conducted its members to. the death chamber, where the delegation formally expressed the condolence of the Reichstag. Prince Herbert on be- half’ of the family, warmly expressed gratitude. i SIX WAREHOUSES BURNED. Forty Thousand Bushels of Grain Destroyed by the Flames.

ADDRESS TO THE VOTERS URGED TO DO THEIR DUTY AT THE PRIMARIES. Good Government Club .Calls Upon Honest Men to Assisc in Throw- ing Off the Shackles of Gang Rule. 1 L ™™ Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 4—The Good Gov- ernment Club of Santa Clara County has issued a letter to its members and all independent Republicans urging them to turn out and work at the pri- maries to be held on August 10 in’or- der to rid the party of the influences of “Bozs” Rea and his gang. The letter is a s‘rong arraignment of the methods of the big boss. Several thousand copies. have been printed and will be distributed about the county. The club is making a vizorous fight for purity in the Republican party. The letter is as follows: A Republican primary -election is to be held in each precinct in Santa Clara County on August 10 for the selection ot delegates to tne county, Congressional and State conventions of the Kepublican party. The poiis will be open trom 6 o’clock a. m. until 6 o’clock p. m. Xor years the Kepubiican party of this county has been owned and controlled by a ring. lts hold has gradually tightened upon us. 1t has dictated our nominations, and controlleda our officers after their We have been driven as shee] to the shambles. As siaves, the Republi- can voters of this county have been valued only because they could execute the will of the master. Such a system has at last borne its legitimate fruits. Our local public affairs have at last come to such a state that there is a job, if nothing worse, in nearly everything in a public way done in the county. iav- orites and creatures of the ring are re- warded at the expense of the taxpayers. Merit and faithfuiness in the public ser- vants Is little regarded, and loyalty to the ring and willingness and ability to execute its commands have come to be the chief qualifications of the officeholder in Santa Clara County. Criminals, if they belong to the ring, are not only often quietly overiooked, but it is commonly reportea that they are sometimes protected and assisted to es- cape the just punishment that the law declares shall be meted out to them. In- nocent peopie are often persecuted and sometimes even killed by incompetent and unprincipled officers. This ring has filled the schools of San Jose with its creatures and_is now reaching out for the schools of the county. But why continue the dis- gusting recital? Our beautiful county has become a byword in the. whole State; our politics are a- shame and a disgrace to every voter in the county. Shall “this state of affairs continue? This question is addressed to you per- sonally as much as to any voter In the county, because Upon you,as upon each individual voter depends the responsibil- ity of answering. Our State Central Com- mittee has taken a courageous, maniy stand in this matter and has made it possible for the Republican voters of Santa Clara County to free themselves from this slavery. Let us take the full- est advantage of this opportunity. Will you not give a few days—at least one ay—to this work? Patriotism is demand- ed here and now as much as in the trenches of Santiago. We beg of you to come out to the primary and get ail your neighbors who are not owned by the ring to come out and see to it that independ- ent and fearless men are sent out to our conventions from your section. The ticket indorsed by the Good Gov- ernment Club has not béen named by any ring, but has been put forward by the independent, anti-ring . Republicans of your neighborhood. See that, so far as you can contribute to that end, it is elected. Only so can you discharge your duty to yourself and the community. The enemy is active, unscrupulous, powerful and thoroughly intrenched, and, there- riends of good government must lly actlve and vigilant. The primaries on August 10 will be closelr watched by members of the Good Government Club and no loop- hole will be left t: ~ough which the gangz can stuff the ballof boxes. The Democratic County Central Committee also will be on the wiert. Its watchers will aid the Good Government people and any Democrat who votes at the Republican primary will be barred from votin- .at his own party’s pri- mary. . PRACTICALLY VINDICATED. Findings in the Suit Against Ex- County Clerk Boring. SAN JOSE. Aug. 4—The find.ngs in the suit of Santa Clara County against ex-County Clerk S. W. Boring were filed to-day and are practically a vin- dication of the charges of defalcation made against th. . official. The report finds that there is due the county from Boring the sum of $39 35. At the time suit was brought. it was declared Boring was short over $6500. Ex-County clerk Boring is a strong anti-gang man and during his tenure of office incurred- the enmity of Rea and his followers because he refused to bow to their .lctates. As soon as he got out of office they orenly charged him with bein~ a defaulter and using the public’s money. They boasted he was short from $6000 to $12,000. H. S. Foote was put In to expert the books and he claimed to have discovered that Boring was indebted to the county over $6500.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Hawali, the Phil- ippines, Formosa, China and Japan are to be connected with the United States by cable, if the project of the Pacific Cable Comfpany meets the approval of I understand a company, which includes such financiers as J. Pierpont Morgan and J. A. Scrymser, requested President McKinley to give authority to land the American end of the cable at San Francisco. The com- pany was recently granted the right by the Hawalian Government to land its cable at Honolulu and only the con- sent of the American Government is necessary before it begins the work of laying the line. + What action the President will take upon the - company's request is not known, but in view of the recent opin- icn of the Attorney General declaring that Congress only had the right of landing cables at points within the jurisdiction of the United States it is doubtful if it will be approved. The company is making arrangements for the introduction of a bill in Congress immediately after it convenes in De- cember, and no doubt is felt that it will be passed. The plans of the Pacific Cable: Company are to connect San Francisco and Manila by a line from Honolulu. The line will be laid to Apl: Samoa, and from Manila to Borneo n Australia. The line will also be run to Formosa and Japan and will touch at 4 peint in China. It'is also pro- posed to connect the line with the cable which ramifies through Europe and the Far East. s % Garfield Park Discussions.
