Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. how, | w that Congress is justified if not com- | ut of over one million tons of merchant | In addition to the rolling mill | :#66444+¢4f6+§+4#t | ¥ LONDON, April 4—The Berlin + correspondent of the Standard says: Mr. White, the American Embassador, expressed to me to- day his firm conviction that the whole Samoan question is now in a fair way to a settlement satisfactory to all the powers in- terested. I* | + e PR S TeY [++ 4+ 444444444444+ WASHINGTON, April 3.—The Presi- | dent and Secretary Hay have been giv- ing consideration to the selection of a | representative of the United States | Government on the Samoan commis- sion. He will not be a member of either the Senate or House of Representatives, according to present lights. It is ex- pected that the effort will be to find | | some person thoroughly familiar with the issues likely to be presented in the settlement of this Samoan dispute. It is regarded by the State Depart- ment as essential that the commission | be appointed at the earliest possible moment. Many cable dispatches have been passing between Washington and Lon- | | don in regard to the Samoan settle- ment. The main point is on determin- ing exactly the extent of authority | which the high commission is to pos- sess, Lord Salisbury desiring all uncer- tain points first cleared up and an ex- | act definition of what the commission is to do before committing Great Brit- ain. The British Government is as ready as the United States or Germany to accept the general principle of com- | n sners, but it wants to know in ad- | vance as to the power of thé commis- sion. The indications are that the British authorities will give their adherence to the agreement within a day or two, but it is stated that there is still a chance, although a very slight one, that the agreement may not be con- cluded. The present negotiations are concen- trated on three main points, viz.: First, is the commission to report, or is it to have cutive authority to administer as well as to negotiate, and if so what is the extent of its executive power second, will the action of the commi sion be determined by a majority or will unanimous action be required; third, if a majori determination is arranged what safeguards are to be provided to insure unanimous exXecu- tion. This last point—as between ma- jority or unanimous action—is a vexing | one and is the one which has arisen | between the consular officials in Sa- | moa, and it is evident that Lord Salis- bury hesitates to assent to any agree- ment which may renew this contro- versy. An agreement upon King Oscar as final arbitrator would obviate a dead- lock, but this, while proposed unoffi- | cially during the recent discussions, has | not been assented to officially. FOUGHT TO THE DEATH BEFORE THEIR CHILDREN CHICAGO, April 3.—Before his two chil- | dren, aged two and four, Joseph Brown was stabbed to death to-day by his wife. | The murder was the outtome of a family quarrel. Brown had beaten and kicked his wife and threatened to kill her with a butcher knife that was lying on a table. When Brown made a move toward the knife Mrs. Brown snatched it - herself. Brown raised his foot and kicked her, but she plunged forward with the knife, strik- | ing him fairly in the stomach. Maddened with frenzy and pain the two battled back and forth, the husband kicking and | striking and the wife plunging the knife into her husband until with a fifth blow he fell backward dead. Brown was stabbed flve times—once under the chin, twice in the stomach and twice in the right side. All made big, gaping wounds, and any one of them would have proved fatal. Brown was a packing house em- ploye. MISSING FROM GILROY.

PRESIDENT’S PROCLAMATION | ORDERS DISPLAY OF OLD GLORY THROUGHOUT THE NATION. Full Military Honors to Be Accorded During the Burial of the Bodies From the West Indies. v Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, April 3.—Arrange- ments have been practically completed for the funeral services on the occasion of the reinterment in the Arlington Cemetery at 2 o'clock Thursday after- noon of the remains of about 350 sol- diers and civilians who lost their lives as a result of wounds or disease in the | campaigns of Santiago and Porto Rico. | The services will be of the simplest | character, being confined to the com- | mitment service conducted by Post Chaplain Charles W. Freeland, who has been summoned here from the military | post at Fort Monroe for that purpose. Full military honors will be paid the memory of the patriotic dead and all regular troops in this vicinity, the Dis- | trict National Guard and a battalion of | marines will participate in the cere- | mony at the cemetery. Colonel Francis L. Guenther of the Fourth Artillery will have command of the military es- | cort exercises. The remains of 150 of the heroes of | the war have already been deposited in tents near the spot selected for their | interment, and it is expected that the | remaining 200 bodies will be brought on ,érom Jersey City to-morrow or next ay. The President and most of the offi- | | cials of the administration in this city will attend the funeral services. Presi- dent McKinley to-day issued the fol- lowing executive order in connection ith the interments: It is fitting that in behalf of the nation tributes of honor be paid to the memories of the noble men who lost their lives in their country’'s service during the late war with Spain. It is the more fitting, inasmuch as in consonance with the spirit of our free institutions and in obedience | to the most exalted promptings of pat- | riotism, those who were sent to other shores 'to do battle for their country’s { honor under their country’s flag went | | freely from every quarter of our beloved land. Each soldier, each sailor, parting from home ties and putting behind him | private interests in the presence of the | stern emergency of unsought war with | an alien foe, was an individual type of devotion of the citizen to the state which | makes our nation strong in unity and in action. i Those who died In another land left in | many homes the undying memories that | attend the heroes of all ages. It was fit | ting that with the advent of peace, won | by their sacrifice, their bodies should be | | gathered with tender care and restored | to home and kindred. This has becn done with the dead of Cuba and Porto Rico. Those of the Philippines still rest | | where they fell, watched over by their surviving comrades and crowned with the love of a grateful nation. The remains of many brought to our | shores have been delivered to their fami- | lies for private burial. But for others of | the brave officers and men who perished | there has been reserved Interment in | | grounds sacred to the soldiers and sailors | among the tributes of military honor and | national mourning they have so well de- served. 1 therefore order: That upon the arri- val of the cortege at the National Ceme- | tery at Arlington all proper military and naval honors be paid to the dead heroes; | | that suitable ceremonies shail attend | their interment; that the customary lute of mourning be fired af the cemetery | and that on the same day at 2 o'clock, | Thursday, the 6th day of April, the na- | tional flag be displayed at half-mast on all_public buildings, forts, camps and public vessels of the United States and that at 12 o'clock, noon, of said day, all | the departments 'of the Government a Washington shall be closed. | WILLIAM McKINLEY, | Executive Mansion, April 3, 1569, In the same connection Acting Sec- retary of War Meiklejohn issued this | order: { The remalins of officers and soldiers who lost thefr lives in the war with Spain | during the operations in Cuba and Porto Rico will be interred with due and fitting | | ceremonles in the National Cemetery at | Arlington, Va., on Thursday, April §, at | p. m. | | ” By direction of the President all of the | | United States troops serving in the vicin- | | | ity of Washington, together with the Na- | tional Guard of the District of Columb be assembled at Arlington on _th. date in question to participate in the fu eral ceremonies. BEEF BOARD GROWS WEARY. WASHINGTON, April 3—The Beef In- quiry Board had no witnesses before it to-day.

NEW YORK, April 4—The condition of ‘Warren F. Leland, who was operated upon for appendicitis on Sunday after- noon, took a serious turn about 9 o’clock last night and an hour later Dr. Pitkin was hurriedly called. He at once pro- nounced the change a very grave one and advised that all relatives be summoned. mr. Leland’s son, Charles W., was already with his father, and a telegram was im- mediately sent to Chicago for the re- maining son. Miss Fannie, the surviving daughter, was also called to her father's beside. Mr. Leland was still living at 1 o'clock this morning, but Dr. Pitkin said only a miracle could save the patient's life. He did not think he could survive until daylight. PSS S ‘James J. Steytler Dead. SEATTLE, April 3—James J.

Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, April 3.—When the Governor pocketed the bill providing that women be allowed the franchise | in educational matters he destroyed his | popularity with the fair sex of ILos | Angeles. As the matter cannot be brought to an issue again for two years the women who labored for the law and the many men who expressed approval question Gage's judgment. Mrs. M. E. Threlkeld, an earnest ad- vocate of the principles embodied in the bill, expresSses regret that the Gover- nor could not see its value. “In Kansas,” she sald, “the Legisla- | ture passed a bill permitting women to | vote for school directors. I can say from personal knowledge it was the | ‘Women on | hool board do well. They always | nore attention to the sanitary con- | of the schools than do the men.” | .rs. C. B. Bradfield, drawing super- intendent of the Los Angeles schools, | and Mrs. Gertrude Paison, special | teacher of music in the city schools, ex- | pressed the belief that the bill ought to have been signed. The schools | would be benefited by the measure. They say the matter should have re- ceived greater attention than to be sub- jected to the treatment accorded by the Governor. “It would have been a good thing without a doubt,” said Professor James A. Foshay. “I have seen the experi- ment tried in the East. It would have worked to the perfect satisfaction of everybody concerned. If women vote for school directors the board is kept out of politics. From experience I say | women use good judgment in these It is to be regretted the Gov- ernor did not sign the bill.” g GAGE AROUSES THE IRE OF MONTEREYANS MONTEREY, April 3.—Great indigna- tion is expressed here over the recent ac- tion of Governor Gage in vetolng the Colton Hall bill. The bill was presented by Monterey’s Assemblyman F. P. Feliz, and provided for the appropriation of $2500 of the State's money for restoring the build- ing and beautifying the grounds of Colton Hall, California’s first Capitol. The amount was asked for to supplement a subscription already raised by the citi- zens of Monterey city and county, which alone, though liberal, was inadequate for the necessary work. The bill first asked for $5000, and it was then the plan to con- vert the old building into a museum of California_history, bet this project was abandoned for the time and the amount of State aid asked for was reduced to $2500, with the understanding that the Governor would sign the bill. This is the second time within the last decade the restoration of California’s most historic landmark has been frowned | down by the commonwealth's chief ex- ecutive, Governor Markham having best thing for the schools. the s tration. The Montereyans say they will | not despair, but will renew the fight next | session, hoping for better success. In the meantime the historic old build- | Ing grows daily more dilapidated, and un- less something is done it will eré long be past the point of restoration. CRIPPLED DURING A GALE. HALIFAX, N. 8., April 3.—The steamer Charing Cross, from Philadelphia for Ipswich, arrived in port this ' evening with the steamer Forest Brook in tow. The Forest Brook Is from Leith for Hampton Roads. She has lost her tail- shaft and propeller and possibly the stern tube is damaged. The mishap occurred Friday last aboul noon, 250 miles southeast of this port, in a howling gale and a high sea. The weather was so heavy that no effort could Jee made after the shaft snapped to secure the propeller and it was lost. ~ R e Flood Danger Is Past. WOODLAND, April 3.—Further danger from flood water is not expected. There is considerable water in Sycamore Slough, but there is very little on the farming land in District 108, and that little will soon be removed. At Knights Landing the river fell two and a half inches Sun- day night. It now stands 14 feet 9% inches. At the Woods break the water has receded about two feet and more than a foot and a half is now running out into the basin. The water in the basin is re- ceding rapidly. If all the breaks on the Yolo side had been open during the big spring, {reshet, grainfields In the vicinity of Swingle statfon that now look weil would be three feet under water and ruined, and a large district in Solano Cmu&ty that is still safe would be devas- tated. ! — Suliivan Easily a Winner.

NEW YORK, April 3.—George Byers of Boston got the decision over Charlie Goff of Oregon in the second round of what was to have been a twenty round bout at the Broadway Athletic Club to-night. They met at 150 pounds. In the second round Goff landed a straight left on the mouth and swung over Byers' head. By- ers swung left to mouth and right to ribs and a moment later put a solid left hook to the jaw, scoring a clean knock-down. Goff arose groggy and Byers started to finish him, knocking Goff down twice more, when Referee Tommy White stopped the fight and awarded the deci- sion to Byers.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, April 3.— ‘Warden Hale | anese | Yokohama, arrived here to- has relinquished all hope | of being reappointed, and admits so | with seeming frankness.

Governor Gage intends to den, whatever may be the cost. install | | Martin Aguirre of Los Angeles as war- But | Hale still clings to straws, as may be | gathered even from his admissions. He says he is not a candidate for the war- | denship, but in the same breath certi- | fies to the fact that he is in love with | his job, as he terms it, and will occu- | py his position as long as the prison | directors see fit to keep him there. “Just say in The Call for me,” said Hale this evening, “that I am not a candidate for warden on account of ill- | health and have so notified the presi- dent of the board of directors. My of- fice does not expire until April 20, be- cause four years ago 1 held over until the 20th of the month for various rea- sons. I may hold until June 1 or even July 1, on account of the volume of bags to be sold and other business to be cleared up. “Whether I stay longer than April 20 or not depends upon the pleasure of the board.

CITIZENS OF REDDING WILL BE ARRESTED Accused of Having Violated the Pro- visions of the City Fire Orcdinances. REDDING, April 3.—According to City Attorney Watson, a half-dozen of Red- ding’s prominent citizens will be placed under arrest to-morrow for having vio- lated the express provisions of the city fire ordinances with reference to the Ar- mory Hall. The Board of Trustees passed an ordinance requiring the building as- sociation which owns the hall to place stand pipes and hose in the building, and the directors of the association ignored the order. Last Tuesday night a local talent show was given in the hall in spite | of the order of the Board of Trustees. The city fathers were tricked by a bluff at complying with the order. The Trustees became indignant and resolved that the hall should remain closed hereafter umil‘ the order were complied with. Another local talent show was billed for to-night. To-day on_ injunction was granted in the Superior Court restraining the Trustees and the City Marshal from interfering in any way with the show or the hall.
