o ] THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1899. WILLOWS MUSICIAN WILL TOUR EUROPE ILLOWS, May 17.—The peo- ple of Glenn County are great- ly pleased over the fact that the talented musician, Miss Mamie mall Randolph, has been called to Par by a cablegram from her former teacher, Professor Joseph Sancho, who has been engaged to give a season of concerts at the French capital. Miss Randolph is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Ran- dolph of Willows. She is a decided blonde, of fer, willowy and gracefal form, and pretty of features. Her age is 22. Sh as a wonderful talent for music, having studied since early child- hood. Three years ago she graduated first in her cla: from Beethoven Con- servatory of Musie, St Loufs, Mo., and soon thereafter took a year's course of sons on the mandolin and bandurria Professor Sancho in San Francisco. Miss Randolph plays the piano, the guitar, the bandurria and the mandolin with equal excellence of execution. She il to high-grade and classic and will take part in thesseries et concerts to be by Pro- f ncho and class. Miss Ran- dolph will be the traveling companién of Mrs. Joseph Sancho on the tour of @+ isisieioi e ieies will be all serene M no time.” Dr. Lawlor said he would do nothing of the kind; that if the man would | come to him of his own accord un*ll promise to make no more attempts on | his life he would have nothing n to say. That was the end of the n the assault on McDonald by | imer, when Ph renewed and said he would “do up not only that old ‘ct wlor, but | Henry Moller as well.” Then ‘“Jac O'Neill came out with a series of reats, among them being a statement | that on the first opportunity he in- tended to (ki uard Yoho a Guard | Randolph.'

He, therefore, refused to in- carcerate the ringleaders, and said the matter should be called to the atten- tion of the Prison Directors at their next meeting. The men are exasperat- d at this reply, and do not hesitate to say that if more blood is not spilled before the next meeting of the direc- tors it will be lucky for the marked men. McDonald's condition to-night is re- rarded as hopeless. He w visited by Dr. Lawlor at 9 o'clock. and the follow ng statement was made by the physi- *ian on leaving the office of Captain Birlem: “The patient has developed traumatic monia, which generally follows a re wound by a knife or a gunshot, ind is spitting blood. His legs have urned purple from the knee down and heat has to be kept applied to them. This discoloration is dué to a sluggish sirculation, and the low condition of McDonald may be gauged from the fact that the discoloration is seen even at he neck, in the form of spots as large is a silver dollar. The temperature is 01.4, the pulse 112 and very erratic and ‘he respiration 44. It is my belief that | he man cannot last forty-eight hours."” JOURT-MARTIAL OF PRISONERS.

"CINCINNATI, May 17.—A foul com- mitted by Jockey Coley Thompson on Myosotis in the third race at Newport to-day caused considerable excitement on the track. Myosotis bore out on Bon Jour coming down the stretch and carried him to the rail. J. Matthews, on Bon Jour, after getting his mount straightened again, drew his whip and struck Thomp- son across the face. The blow brought a stream of blood from Thompson's nose and cut a gash in his lip. The judges disqualified Myosotis and placed the other horses up. After the race Thompson and Matthews got into a fight in the pad- dock, but were separated by the police before any damage was done. Both boys will be up before the judges Thursday to explain their disorderly actions on the track. Weather pleasant; track fast.

POLITICAL OPPOSITION TO EXPANSION DOCTRINE NEW YOREK | May 17.—A special to the Sun from Washington says: At a meet- ing of Irish-American Republicans, held in the parlors of the Ebbitt House on Monday and Tuesday of this week, an organization was effected which has for its purpose energetic and organized polit- ical opposition to the doctrine of e sion and retention of the Philippine ands by the United States. movemer origin in New Y pan- Isl- | appears to have had its ork City some weeks ago, but has been kept quiet.

" Beyond the adoption of these rules and the appointment of a committee to issue propaganda and con- duct an extensive correspondence, noth- ing was done. The task citizens into of drawing Irish-American the party will devolve largely upon Colonel O who is > of the most enthusiastic members of rganization. Colonel O'Ferrall has been a Republican, and before the nce of that party was an Abolition. During the last Presidential cam- ign he was on the stump six or seven eeks in the interest of McKinley. Dis- ssing _the proposed organization Col- el O'Ferrall to-night said; “I have always been a Republican, but I am unalterably opposed to this new dbe- trine of imperialis I believe we should confine ourselves to this continent and the islands contiguous. We only bring new troubles upon ourselves by going to Asia and endeavoring to do things which ist. pa W E Spain has tried to do for 300 years and failed. So far as 1 am concerned, loyal Republican I have always been, 1 shall vote for the ticket of that party which pledges itself against imperialism and these new doctrines that threaten to wreck the country. We expect to have man additions to our ranks, although we all do little beyond conducting cor- respondence until we see what the Re-| publican party intends to do. If it is the policy of that party to keep the Philip- pines and fasten upon us an imperialism inconsistent with Republican institutions, then the mass of the Irish-Americans wili | vote against that party ATKINSON SPEAKS ON “CRIMINAL AGGRESSION” | CAMBRIDGE, Ma; May 17.—The | Cambrige Anti-Imperialist Association | held a well-attended meeting to-night and | 1 ened to a speech by Edward son, who took for his subject, Aggression—The Way Out.” After dwelling upon the dangers of an imperialist policy Mr. Atkinson sald: “There is one way, and perhaps the only one, by which not ‘only can aii that may | be ‘rightfully or fully done by the | United States be attained, but a preced- | ent may also be established leading to | eace and good will among all nations. | That way is by agreement among th great naval and commercial powers of the world to neutralize the Philippine Isl- | ands, to aid them in establishing an or- | derly government and to open them on | equal terms granted to all nations to the commerce of the world. “What stands in tne way of making the Philippine Tslands and the seas within their jurisdiction neutral? For the first time since their partial occupation by Spain under a grant of dominion from the Pope, they are now free from Spanish op- pression. * To subjugate them would, ac- cording to our code of morality, be an act of criminal aggression. ““We ought not to assume this responsi- bility, nor ouim Wg to give any protec- tion to any other ndtion to assume it.

Last year, previous to the beginning of the actual | campalign service in the tropics, the in- | mates of the home numbered in the neigh- borhood of 750 men. Now the number has increased to 820. Noy who have been & ands shali | y of free commerce, me of the regulars vho ngaged in service in the Philippines have yet arrived at the home, but it is probable that the number wil exceed that from the combined Cuban and Porto Rican service, in view of the greater length of time during which the | Philippine forces have been actively en- gaged. The changes and improvements | Wwhich are about to be made have been under contemplation for several months past. According to estimates made the entire work will cost about $100,000.

KANSAS CITY, May 17.—An address to the Populists of the country was issued here to-night by the national organiza- tion of the People’s party with the in- dorsement of the Natfonal Reform Press Association. These two bodies, whose common object is to keep the Populist party in the middle of the road, avoiding fusion with other political parties every- where, had been in session here since Tuesday morning, and the adoption of the address concluded their labors. All was not harimony among these middle-of-the-road leaders, and only after long and heated discussions was an address agreed upon. A hard fight was made to secure the indorsement of Whar- ton Barker and Ignatius Donnelly for President and Vice President in 1900, but ibis the committee refused to recom- mend. Instead a thorough organization of the middle-of-the-roaders in every sec- tion of the country is urged, with the understanding that they shall enter the next national campaign with the present Populist organization, but that wherever fusion shall gain the day, whether in county, State or nation, the middle-of- the-roadérs shall bolt and begin an active campaign to carry out their principles.

The Queen rode in an open carriage and was not protected from the sun by a parasol, and did not wear any glasses, colored or otherwise, until the ceremonies of laying of the cornerstone began. I have been informed on the best au- thority that the Queen's eyesight is as of her age, and it has not been impaired | during her visit to Cimiez. A correspondent of a London evening pa- per who made inquiries at Windsor of one | of her physicians in residence there was | distinctly told that there was no truth in the report that the Queen's eyes were se- riously affected. Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone of the Victorla and Albert Mu- seum. She drove through the streets, lined with troops from Buckingham Pal- ace, the royal carriage being escorted by a detachment of the Life Guards. Her Majesty was accompanied by several personages met her at the museum, where a raised dais was reserved for them. The embassadors, members of the Cabinet and leading state officials were at the pavilion. An enormous number of formed without leaving her carriage and amid much enthusiasm. The ceremonies resembled a miniature jubilee. American flags were conspicu- ous among the decorations. Inside the museum the scene recalled the spectacle at St. Paul's Cathedral upon the occasion of the Jubilee. The Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Rose- bery, all the Cabinet Ministers and the diplomatic corps were present, nearly all brilliant uniforms. " The pages, with footmen, was very glclur— esque. United States Embassador Joseph H. Choate and Mrs. Choate drove up in 4 plain carriage, Mr. Choate wearing a uniforms of the other diplomats. Mr. and Mrs. Choate were given a prominent lace on the Flntform and while await- ng the arrival of the Queen, the Premier, the First Lord of the Admiralty, George ‘t]i\ Goschen, and others chatted with em. Her Majestv locked remarkably well. She was dressed in black except for a White plume in her bonnet. She took the greatest interest in the mechanical part of the stone laying, talking at length with the Prince of Wales on the subject. The Queen was seated in a four-horse open carriage: with Scotchmen on the rumble, and escorted by outriders.

We share the humiltation of the Populist vot- ers who have found themselves in the past forced to vote for candldates not in sympathy with each demand of the People’s party plat- form and urge them to diligently work in the future to avert any repetition of such com- plications.

NEGRD ASSASSIN RESISTS ARREST emri Holds a Posse of Police at Bay. fauriges Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, May 17.—Humphrey Taylor, a negro suspected of the Rosen- stein murder at Slidell, Md., to-day shot and killed Police Sergeant Fritz Passau, wounded Policeman Gow and kept a posse of half a dozen officers at | bay from the loft of a house for nearly two heurs. Dozens of shots were ex- changed between the officers and the fugitive, who surrendered only when preparations were made to burn,the premises. Last Saturday morning Louis Rosen- stein and wife, who kept a small store at Slidell, were found insensible and horribly wounded in their storeroom. Rosenstein | soon died from his injuries and the woman is believed to be near death. Suspicion fell upon the negro, Hum- phrey Taylor, alias Brown, him in a house near the scene of the miurder. ‘Wken they entered Taylor opened fire from the trapdoor in which he had taken refuge. Sergeant Passau received two Lullets through his chest and Gow was wounded in the hand. Taylor re- treated to a corner of the loft and the reserve of the two precincts was called out to surround the house. Mean- time the shooting had attracted several thousand persons. dislodged until preparations to burn the place had been begun. urrounded by officers with drawn re- volvers, he was hustled out of the house to the patrol wagon. The crowd surged forward with shouts of “Lynch him! Burn him!” and made a rush for the prisoner. A rope was obtained and the mob made a desperate effort to place it around the wretch's neck. The cool- ness of the officers saved Tayior, though he was rather badly disfigured by blows from the nearest of the crowd. The feeling against the prisoner con- tinues very strong, and during the evening over a thousand persons gath- ered at the station where the man is confined. There were many threats ut- tered and suggestions made that the man should be lynched. Finally the police department increased the force around the station by the addition of about thirty officers and succeeded in restoring quiet. DATE FOR THE BIG FIGHT. Fitzsimmons and Jeffries Will Argue Their Case on June 9. NEW YORK, May 17.—The day of the Bob Fitzsimmons-Jeffries fight before the Coney Island Athletic Club has been fixed as June 9, and George Siler of Chicago will be referee. The selec- tion of Decoration day as the day for the big fight aroused so much opposi- tion among sporting men that the man- agers of the club and the managers of the fighters met to-day in Willlam Brady's office to discuss the situation. It was argued that Decoration day is usually a big sporting day, when there are many events of interest scheduled. and that to have the fight on that day would mean a smaller attendance and smaller gate receipts. It was decided finally to postpone the fight until June 9. The arrangement was satisfactory to all concerned. pis A i) Queen’s Chaplain Dies. LONDON, May 17.—Rev.
