CHINESE PEDDLER’S VICTIMS SEVERAL PERSONS COME CLOSE] TO DEATH. Mr. and Mrs. James and Three Por- tuguese Taken Violently Ill Case on Which Police Are Working. Special Dispatch to The Call. MENITO, Sept. 6.—Poisoned | is responsible for the severe | SACR. cabbag sickness of a number of persons in Sut- | terville, this county. A few days ago several residents of that town bought | cabbages from a Ch peddler who | claimed he was from Sacramento. Afleri eating the cabbage they became sick, and as they exhibited symptoms of poisoning a doctor was sent for and | at once detected that they were suffer- ing from arsenical poisoning and gave | them an antidote. One of the victims s a woman named Mrs. James. In ing the story of her illness to-day said: I had just left my home and was walking down the road when L met a Chinese peddler, who had a Wagon- load of cabbages. He sald he was from Sacramento, and as the cabbages appeared to be all right 1 bought one | of them and advised him to drive into town, as I realized that he would be able to sell the entire load. I took the cabbage which I had bought to my home and prepared to ccok it. I no- ticed several of the leaves were cov- ered with a white substance, but not thinking anything of it at the timge I placed it in a kettle containing hot water. My husband and I ate of the cabbage and were at once seized with violent pains. “Realizing that we were poisoned, we sent for a physiclan, who after consid- erable trouble, relieved us. The follow- ing day we heard that three Portuguese Lad purchased cabbages from nese peddler, and fearing for we went to see them. To our surprise we found them all ill—victims of the poisoned cabbage. One of them was ser; ly ill, and for a time we thought he would die. He finally re- covered, however, and now threatens vengeance on the Chinese peddler on sight. “Just what motive the Chinese had I am at a loss to know. It is possible that he was not aware that the cab- bages were sprinkled with arsenic and started out to sell them. It is a strange fact that he has not been here since he sold us the cabbages. Whether he knew of our sickness and was afraid to con- front us, I am at a loss to state. I have endeavored through my husband to find out if the cabbages were sent by an enemy, but have been unsuccessful. “A short time ago one .f the Portu- guese who had partaken of poisoned cabbage received an anonymous letter in which it stated that his life would be taken. Thinking it a joke he paid no attention to it until he was taken ll from the effects of arsenic. I do not think I have an enemy, but in future I intend to closely examine everything I buy to see whether or not it contains poison.” The police are investigating the case and hope to be able to land the culprit in a few days. They believe the pois- oned cabbages were given the Chinese peddler to sell to residents of Sutter- ville. Whether the poisoner intended to kill one or more persons it is im- possible to tell. The police, however, believe that the Portuguese were the intended victims and that the China- man was instructed to give them as many of the poisoned cabbages as they wanted. PHILIPPINE LEADERS WA!'[ ANNEXATION Eighteen Out of Twenty Declare in Favor of Coming Under American Rule. MANILA, Sept. 6.—At a meeting yester- day of twenty leaders of the Filipinos of all sections called to discuss the policy of these islands, eighteen of them were em- phatically in favor of outright annexation to the United States and two were in favor of a republic. The general native opinion is that it is best to adopt United States Consul Wildman’s suggestion and offer liberal inducements to the independ- ent factions to co-operate and to reward the services rendered.

TACOMA, Sept. 6.—News comes to-day rom Port Valdes that the Copper River | Indians are reaping a harvest by gather- | ing up outfits left by scores of disgusted prospect@s.

Contest for the Honor of Command- ing the Grand Army of the Republic Becoming Some- what Complicated. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CINCINNATI, Sept. 6.—The second day of the thirty-second annual en- campment of the Grand Army of the Republic was a banner day—a “Star- Spangled Banner” day—in every way. The weather was delightful. It has rained every night preceding the en- campment days, and after a shower cooler weather is promised for the big parade to-morrow. The Ohio labor | parade on Monday and the naval pa- rade to-day were both under clear skies and nature promises to smile on the old veterans in line to-morrow. Some of the veterans advocate dis- continuance of encampments, because they want all remembrances, even cf sectional differences wiped out, but they say they will attend the annual encampments as long as they are held. The leading surviving ouicers of the Civil war are prevented attending the encampment this year, because of the | Spanish-American war. Among the ladies who are missed none is referred to more than Mrs. John A. Logan. Much disappointment is expressed be- cause President McKinley and ex- President Harrison are not here, as they have been in former years. In the absence of the President Governor Bushnell of Ohio will occupy his place on the reviewing stand to-morrow, sur- rounded by Governor Pingree of Michi- gan, Governor Mount of Indiana, Gov- ernor Atkinson of West Virginia and other Governo~s with their staffs. The decorations are unusually elabor- ate, the electric light designs in the public squares and at the street inter- sections surpassing even the finest ef- forts of past expositions, and the en- tertainment is equally lavish. This was Naval Day and to-morrow is Army Day, to be foliowed on Thurs- day by the Peace Jubilee. The National Naval Association gave a grand parade this morning. After the parade the naval veterans were entertained on steamboats and they captured Coney Island. The fea- tures of the day were the regimental, brigade and other reunions, at which the old comrades got clos together than on any other occasions. There were demonstrations on the arrival of several department commanders and of Governors and their staffs. The citizens tendered receptions to Commander-in-Chief Gobin, Rear Ad- miral Kelley, Mrs. D. J. Martin, presi- dent of the Women's Relief Corps; Mrs. Flora M. Davey, president of the Ladies of the G. A. R.; Mrs, Jennie Laird, president of the National Asso- ciation of the Ladies of the Naval Vet- erans, and others. The contest for commander-in-chief has become much more complicated with the arrival of a large delegation from New York, headed by Corporal Tanner, in_support of Colgnel John C. Sheets of Yonkers.

News of this situation spread among the Indians, who hastened forward from both seacoast and interior to enrich themselves with a_winter’s supply of provisions. Never before have théy enjoyed such luxury. In previous years great loads of furs have brought less than they are now securing free. Morton Ramsdell, a young Tacoma so- clety man, who returned from Copper River to-day, says that the few whites who winter in the interior will also fare well at small expense. Ramsdell says: “Flour sold as low as 50 cents per sack; Mocha and Java coffee, 4 cents a pound; bacon, 5 cents, and everything else in ;lz_ropomon. lnc‘udirLg clothing and tools. he Indians and whites who remain will have more clothes than they can wear. Of course four bits was not the regular price for flour, but occaslonal sales were made at that figure. It usually sold at $1 50 per hundred pounds, though it cost at least 15 cents a pound to get it into the country, Ramsdell thinks that twenty-five or thirty people were drowned in the swift Klutina River, Latest Yukon advices state that four tributarles of Seventy-mile River have been found rich in gold and are being ex- tensively worked. They were named Crooked, Barney, Deep and Flume creeks. Casper Ellengen, recently arrived at Dawson, stated that when he was at against Colonel A. D. Shaw of Water- town, but it also divides the vote of other Eastern departments that were expected to be sclid for Shaw. While Colonel J. A. Sexton of Chicago had only one or two votes in the Illinois delegation against him he is now los- ing some support through the candi- dacy of Colonel Tom Anderson of To- Peka, who is getting Western votes that were depended upon for Sexton and who was considered a favorite in the race as the only Western candidate until the Kansas man was brought out. L F. Mack, the Ohio candidate for commander-in-chief, is embarrassed in his canvass by the fact that W. C. Johnson of Cincinnati has been deter- mined on as the man for senior vice- commander, and the leading two offi- cers are not likely to go to the same State. Commander W. E. Atkins has hereto- fore been considered the leading candi- date for rear admiral of the National Naval Association, but he is having a close contest now with Commodore J. G. R. Foss for that position. The con- tests for the new offices have now be- come quite animated among the ladies. Seventy-mile mine-owners on _these creeks were offering men $15 per day to work.

MADRID, Sept. 6.—The Cabinet has au- thorized the Foreign Minister, Duke Al- modovar de Rio, to negotiate with the Philippine insurgents to ransom the 6000 Spanish prisoners now in their hands, and it has been decided to transmit money to Manila for that Eumose and for the relief of the Spanish troops, which are urgently in need of funds. The Ministers will ask General Jaudenes, the comman- der of the Spanish troops in the Philip- pine Islands, how to transmit the funds. gribabtes Kid o GRAY OR LINDSEY FOR COMMISSIONER NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent says: , Since it has been definitely known that Justice White would not accent a place on the Peace Commission, a number of names have beén discusssed in connection with the vacancy, including those of Major- General Merritt and genator Lindsey of 1 was told late to-night that Raleigh returned from Hengkong to-day. entuc fither Senator Gray of Delaware or Sen- ator Lindsey youldy be appointed. DREYFUS CASE 0 BERETRIED Spectal cable to The Call and the New York He Copyrighted, 185, by James Gor- don Bennett. PARIS, Sept. 6.—The French Cabinet met to-day. General Zurlinder, the new Minister of War, was sent. The whnl% sitting practically was occupied by the Dreyfus question. The Fizaro says it is in position to affirm that the principle of revision was decided upon unanimously and the Minister of Justice was instructed to take the necessary judicial steps con- nected with the affair, General Borin has been appointed acting military governor of Parfs in succession to General Zurlinden, who has accepted the portfolio of Minister of War. 3 The newspapers regard the revision of the Dreyfus case as being assured, say- ing that the prisoner's counsel will now make strenuous efforts to secure a pub- lic_re-trial. The Matin says that Colonel Picquart yesterday signed a demand for the pro- visional liberation of Dreyfus.

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 6.—The events of yesterday were but the overture for far more important ceremonies to-day upon the occasion of the long awaited enthroning of Queen Wilhelmina, who came of age on August 31. The day began with a salute of 101 guns and a majestic choral performed by trumpet- ers from the crenelated towers of the five great churches of Amsterdam. Crowds of people assembled early in the morning and took up positions from which to view the royal proces- sion to the Neukirk, an edifice that, in spite of its name, is 400 years old. By 10 o'clock the Damplatz presented a magnificent spectacle. The center was cleared and the sides were densely thronged. the front places being re- served for the children of the orphan- ages. The multitudes were kept back by lines of troops of all arms. From the principal gate of the palace to the chufch, between lines of naval cadets, was stretched a gay awning decorated with streamers, and velvet carpeting was laid over the short dis- tance which the Queen had to tra- verse. At 10:35 the princely families of Saxe-Weimar and Wied drove to the church, escorted by cavalry with bands playing and drums beating, while the troops presented arms. Almost immediately afterward the Queen’s mother appeared in a state coach, which was surmounted by a gilt royal crown upon a crimson cush- ion. She received an ovation and was greeted with endless cheering and cries of “Long live the Queen-Mother.” About ten minutes later the beating of drums and the blare of trumpets signaled the fact that Queen Wilhel- mina had left the palace, and at that very moment the sun burst from the clouds in brilliancv which was looked upon as being a happy augury for the young sovereign. The procession was headed by the king-at-arms, with the heralds in their gorgeous antique costumes and bearing long trumpets, adorned with pendant flags. But all the splendor of the royal retinfle was overlooked by -the vast crowds of people, whose eyes were turned upon the central figure of this imposing procession—the young Queen on foot amid the people, decked with all the emblems of royalty. On her head was a diadem of diamonds, crown shaped. - Her robe was of white silk, with a long train, under a mantle of rich red velvet, on which the Lions of Nassau were slisplayed in gold em- broidery. = The mantle was bordered with ermine, The sword of state was carried be- fore the young Queen by a general. Her Majesty carried herself with grace and fortitude, but her blanched cheeks were evidence of the profound emotion inspired by the greatness of the cccasion. The jewels worn by the young Queen were part of those stolen in Brussels September 9, 1829. Some cf them were recovered by the police cf New York a year later through infor- mation which a Frenchman named Roumage gave to the Dutch Minister at Washington. It is impossible to accurately de- scribe the acclamations which greeted the Queen. The roars of loyal cheers grew louder and more sustained as her Majesty proceeded to the church, which, in the meanwhile, had been filled with brilliantly robed ladies and uniformed civil and military authori- ties, naval officers and members of the diplomatic corps. The interior of the church disclosed a magnificent wealth of drapery, banners, palms and flow- ers. As" the procession of the Queen- Mother entered the church the assem- bly arose and remained standing. The Queen-Mother wore a low-necked dress of light mauve color, trimmed with lace and covered with pearls. On her head was a splendid tlara and on her breast were displayed the insignia of the Dutch orders. The maids of honor and the ladies in waiting were dressed in beautiful costumes, blazing with diamonds. Then followed the Queen- Mother, who took up a position on ths left of the throne, but who remained standing until the arrival of her daugh- ter, the sovereign. Suddenly the kin=-at-arms, from the portal of the church, heralded the ar- rival of Queen Wilhelmina, who en- tered the building escorted by a train of generals, each bearing an emblaz- oned bLanner. The choir, which included the great- est arfists of Holland, sang “ Withelmus Van Nasrauwe.” The Quecn, looking very well in her robes of state, bowed from side to side as she passed on to the throne, and reaching it she turned and again bowed and took her seat. A moment later her Majesty arose and in a clear and perfectly calm voice spoke as fol- lows: Gentlemen of the Btates General: Since the death of my ever lamented father,. and until T have completed my eighteenth Kea.r. the government has been in the ands of my mother. I have now as- Fovarnment. and I have {s- amation to my well-beloved sumed the sued a proc! people. The hour has now arrived when, amid the faithful states general, and invocat- ing the holy name of God, I shall pledse myself to the people of the Netherlands to maintain their rights and privileges. On this date I draw more clo-e¥ the sol- emn tle existing beiween myself and my eople. The very ancient unfon of the etherlands and of the House of Orange is confirmed afresh.

Later in the day the Queen drove around the city and viewed the dec- orations. The carriage was drawn by slx horses and was attended by a guard of honor.
