Associated Press. Copyrighted, 1598, by th LONDO Sept. 17.—Three or four black thu clouds are overhanging the political horizon of Europe. T! Dreyfus, Cretan and Egyptian ave become more acute and cult at present to forecast the n either case. An Indication of the activity in the official world is found in the fact that the Marquis of Salisbury, who went for & quiet holiday to take the waters of Contreville, has had a speclal telegraph office established at his hotel this week in order to deal with the mass of of- figial telegrams pouring in and out. It s understood that the British Premier ha ordered that the most stringent measures be taken at Candia, Island of Crete, where British troops were re- cently fired upon by Mussulmans, the execution of which only awaits the ar- 1 flicient reinforcements of her soldiers, who now number qu it is oute e Majesty 2000 there, while another battalion is on its way to Candia from Egypt.

PRESS GOES TO EXTREMES BUT SOCIALISTS STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS. Turkey Making Elaborate Arrange- ments to Receive Emperor William at Constanti- nople and Jerusalem. Copyrighted, 183, by the Assoclated Press. BERLIN, Sept. 17.—The assassination of the Empress of Austria at Geneva, $witzerland, on Saturday last by an Italian anarchist, has led to a violent outery in some of the reactionary ar- gans for repressive measures against anarchists. Indeed, some of them went to extremes, advocating measures against socialists and their “allied po- litical parties.” Statements have ap- peared in several of the newspapers to the effect that the German Government intended to take the initiative in pro- posing international action. Official cir- | cles, however, deny any such intention, but they declare that proposals on the subject will be well received by the Ger- man Government, which will do all pos- sible to co-operate with united action. In spite of this, there is no chance of any sweeping repressive legislation be- ing adopted in the Reichstag, as the Center party, without which no such measure could pass, says through its leading organ, the Cologne Volks Zei- tung: “The murder of President Carnot gave birth to the Umsturz bill of 1894. We may, therefore, expect that Lou- cheni, the assassin of the Empress of Austria, will cause a second edition of the Dbill to be introduced. But, if so, it will suffer the same fate—defeat. Even | the least informed persons are aware that socialists and anarchists are not identical.” The Vorwaertz remarks: “Behind the Reichstag stands the German peo- ple, who understand that legislation in the guise of fighting the Umsturz will only be by capitalists and severely in- jure the rights of well-being of the la- boring masses.” The Liberal newspapers all denounce the idea of repressive legislation, but there is a strong current in court and Government circles in favor of such measures, and a dispatch sent to Em- peror William by the spokesman of the leading industrial association of the Rhine and Westphalia, welcoming in advance any steps taken to repress the enemies of the state and ethical or- der, is significant, especially as it was on after his Majesty had per- n a speech, pronounced himself in favor of such repression. Diplomatic circles will not be sur- prised if Russia and Austria set on foot a proposal for international action against anarchists, but they consider it extremely doubtful whether Great Brit- ain, the United States or Switzerland will co-operate. The Deutsche Zeitung suggests that all European governments agree to de- port confessed anarchists to a far away isiand and keep them there until they die. The approaching visit of Emperor William to Turkey is now arousing con- siderable interest. The Sultan is mak- ing extraordinary efforts to please the Emperor during the latter’s stay at Constantinople. The palace intended for his reception is being fitted up with lavish luxury. The decorations alone Emperor William will stay about twelve days at Constantinople. The Turkish troops, it is asserted, are somewhat dissatisfled on the subject, as their arrears of pay have been devoted to the expense of Emperor William’s visit. The preparations at Jerusalem for the visit of Emperor William are in full swing. Streets are being cut through the city and the regular mountains of rubbish in the Bazaar quarter have been removed. The garrison of Jerusa- lem has beeen especially active in drill- ing in order to impress the Emperor, though many of them are bare-footed and wear no uniforms, while others are little better clad. All of these soldiers, however, are to receive new uniforms for the festivities organized in honor of the visit of Emperor William to the Holy Land. CUBAN COMMISSION FEARS A SERIOUS CRISIS Special cable to The Call an@ the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 189, by James Gor- don Bennett. HAVANA, Sept. 17.—In my dis- patches sent through the censor last night it was intimated that the Ameri- can commissioners had decided to move more quickly than they originally in- tended. That fact may be stated with more emphasis to-day. Affairs are approaching a crisis rap- jdly, and with ever increasing speed. The crisis may pass smoothly. Other- wise it will involve the introduction of American troops on an earlier date than has been expected. Reports daily received from various sources confirm- ing one another have convinced the commissioners that the Cuban soldiers are in desperate straits for want of food. The question Is apparently quickly becoming one of starvation or violation of the protocol. In the in- surgent camps men are still armed, and, hard pressed by hunger, must be dangerous even under the best disci- line. 4 Such is the view reached by the com- missioners and hence their inclination to hurry. PARTICIPATE IN THE REVISION Dreyfus Case Still Causing French Statesmen to Resign From Office. Minister of War Zurlinden Succeeded by General | Chauoine, While Godin Succeeds Tillay. Bpecial Dispatch to The Calk PARIS, cided to submit the decision in the Dreyfus case to a commission to be selected by the Minister of Justice, M. Sarrien. T1he Ministers for War and Public Works left before the council adjourned, which was rightly inter- preted as meaning that they did not agree with their colleagues in this mat- ter, and that they intended to resign. The council met at the Elysee Palace at 9:30 a. m., President Faure presid- ing. According to a semi-official note, the Minister of Justice said that after examining the papers he felt unable to decide upon the question of the pro- posed revision of the Dreyfus case un- til he had taken the opinion of a spe- cial commissi n of the Justice. The Cabinet thereupon au- thorized the Minister to summon a committee for the purpose. It is re- Sept. 17.—At a meeting of | changing in favor of a reopening of the the Cabinet Ministers to-day it was de- | Dreyfus case. | vinced me too fully of his guilt for me | Ministry of | | succeeding M.

Brisson will assume the duties of Minister of War in addition to the Premiership, and M. Valee will be ap- pointed Minister of the Interior. As he was leaving the Elysee Palace after the Cabinet meeting a large crowd | of people cheered the Premier, M. Bris- son, with cries of “Viva la revision!" apparently showing that feeling was General Zurlinden, the Minister of War, has tendered his resignation. General Zurlinden sent his resignation in writing to Premier Brisson, as fol- lows: “I have the honor to beg you to re- | celve my resignation as Minister of | War. An exhaustive study of- the papers in the Dreyfus case has con- to accept, as the head of the army, any | other solution than that of the mainte- nance of the judgment in its entirety.” Later in the day another Cabinet council was held, at which General Cha- noine, commander of the First Division of the First Army Corps (Department | of North and the Pas de Calais), was | appointed Minister of War in succes»} slon to General Zurlinden, and Senator | Godin, representing French India, was appointed Minister of Public Works, The latter, in transmitting his letter of resignation, is apparently bidding for popular favor. He wrote: “The council having decided to ap- point a commission to consider the re- | quest for a revision of the trial of the | convict Dreyfus I am unable to accept any share in the responsibility for the | step, which, in my opinion, involves a revision of the case.” The committee summoned by M. Sar- | rien to decide upon the question of the | proposed revision will begin to consider the matter on next Wednesday. ©-0-0-0-6-0-0OO O OO0 O-0-0-0-0-00 dings and Linens.

MACKENZIES KNIFING REA “JOHNNIE” WANTS TO BE BOSS HIMSELF. Ambition of the Ungrateful Under- ling May Aid in Ridding the Garden City of Both. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 17.—The trouble In the city schools has caused strife among the leaders of the gang and “Johnnie"” Mackenzie is trying to ob- tain the leadership now held by “Jim” Rea. Mackenzie has had ample train- ing to qualify him for the position of “boss,” but Rea refuses to give way to his lieutenant. The “boss” sees that Mackenzie is undermining him and it hurts his pride and he denounces Mackenzie for his “sneaking ways."” The respectable people of the city care little whether Rea or Mackenzie is “boss,” because both are objectionable and things will run along in the same old rut with either in control. The in- gratitude of Mackenzie is causing much comment. Rea made his lieutenant what he is and now the latter is en- deavoring to supersede him. Mackenzie as game warden and peli- ticlan and with aspirations for the Postmastership is distasteful to the citizens of San Jose. He has split the ranks of the Republican party wide open and wrecked the High School and public school system of the city. Mac- kenzie is Rea’s most trusted lieutenant and for years has done the boss’ dirty work. Of tue two evils the people pre- fer Rea, but the latter’s reign has im- peded the growth of the city and done injury from which it will take years to recover. The trouble in the city schools is the bone of contention between Rea and Mackenzie. Since the disastrous result of the dismissal of Professor Smith from the High School for political rea- sons Mackenzie has been accusing the “boss” of mismanagement. He claims Rea stirred up all the strife by ordering Smith’s removal and the displacing of Mrs. A. B. Clement as Deputy City Superintendent of Schools to make room for Miss Irene Hankenson of Gil- roy. The people objected to these re- movals and strongly protested against them, but Rea was “bullheaded” and refused to give in. Mackenzie is trying to make the respectable people believe he tried to keep Smith and Mrs. Cle- | | sition of Supervisor of Kindergartens ment in office and that Rea insisted on them going. His friends are telling this broadcast over the city. He also claims Rea directed the ballot-box stuf- fing' at the late primary against his (Mackenzie's) wish. The bad financial condition of San Jose's schools is the result of gang rule as administered by Rea and the Mac- kenzie family—John, Andy and Miss Belle Mackenzie. This latter person is a recognized lieutenant of the gang and it 1s she who maps out the work of the woman teachers in the school depart- ment at election times. All the teach- ers are compelled to get out and hustle for votes in the campaigns and they are a great aid to the gang. The po- at $756 a month was lately created for Miss Belle Mackenzie. The place is a sinecure and is in the nature of pay for | political work done by herself and | brothers. : The schools are going from bad to worse and if things keep on this way it will be only a question of timé when | the school department of San Jose will be the laughing stock of the State. The mingling of politics with school affairs is the cause of the difficulty. Rea’s School Trustees—Graham, Kenyon and ‘Wemple—have used the people’s money extravagantly and now there is not enough to carry on the schools for the ensuing year. Last year there was a | deficiency of $6000 in the school depart- ment and this year it promises to be larger. The prospects are that the new $75,000 High School will have to stand vacant for a year because they have no money to use in moving into it. There is $11,425 in the High School fund for the ensuing year. and this is but a little | over half what will be needed. Over | $12,000 will be needed alone for salaries, to say nothing of incidental expenses To move into the new High School be. tween $6000 and $8000 additional will be needed for increased expenses. Rea has given the trustees orders to move into the High School at any expense, and the trustees now propose to take $6900 from the county school fund to help defray the expense. The City At- torney has been requested to give a favorable opinion in the matter. This will cripple the grammar schools, but the gang is determined that the High | School shall be shoved to the front. The | recent strike of the puplls in that in- stitution against gang Interference in school affairs has given the school a ! great setback. This year there are less | than 250 pupils enrolled there, while | there should be about 400. L. year | the enrollment was 348. Over 125 pupils from this city are attending the High | School at Santa Clara. The City Board of Education is con- sidering the cutting of the salaries of the High School faculty 20 per cent. This is necessary in order to conduct the school, owing to the extravagance of the trustees. The principals of the grammar schools are to be reduced $200 a year. By this reduction in -the ,pay roll the board hopes to be able to keep the school running according to the dictates of Rea and the Mackenzies. Sen Jose Cemetery Chapel Burned. S8AN JOSE, Sept. 17.—This afternoon the chapel of the Catholic Cemetery at Santa Clara was totally destroyed by fire. Nothing was saved. There were many valuable oil paintings burned, one, very large and much treasured. be- ing from the brush of Brother Torto~ ria of the college. The origin of the fire is unknown.
