Hatt L] Copyrighted, 189, by the Associated Pre BERLIN, May 27.—The United States and n trade relations continued to be d sed this week. The toy- makers of Sonneburg complain that exports to the United States are declin- | ing, and the Coburg Chamber of Com- | merce has petitioned the Foreign Office, the United States tariffs of Commerce of Worms and Offenbach, interested in the leather trade, have petjtioned their representa- tives in the Bundesrath to effect a more just settlement of the questions at is- sue. The press pronounces the present | position to be untenable and reaction- ary. The Kreuz Zeitung admits there will be no result from the negotiations, as it is impossible for Germany to make concessions. Whitsuntide, the favorite time for | excursions into the country and moun- | | permit the enlistment and shipment uniimited numbers of the peasant class | of labor from the northern part of the | kingdom. In dealing with the laborers, both in shipment and on the plantations here, the Italian Government desired to follow the same plan practiced in the la- bor transactions between Hawail and Portugal Mr. Schaefer stated this morning that if the scheme acceptable to the planters the laborers would be shipped from Genoa v of Japan and ome via 8 R /ill come by the rman-L10oy: some of which sa rom Italy to China and Japan, and oth- ngements could be int boats to come ers to Australia.

MARYSVILLE, May 27.—Special Mem- orial day services will be held in the First Presbyterian Church of this city to-mor- row. Corinth Post, Grand Army of the Republic, will attend mn a body. Rev. T. J. Lamont will preach a_sermon appropri- ate to the occasion. His subject will be “Soidierly Qualities of the Apostle Paul, On Tuesday open-air exercises will be held on Cortez Square. The graves of the sol- diers in three cemeteries will be decorat- ed and there will be a parade in which the returned volunteers, the Grand Army post and school children will take part. The decoration of the cenotaph sacred to the memory of the unknown of the nation’s dead will be an impressive feature of the day. T tains, has been marred by cold, rainy weather. 1In the Hartz Mountains heavy frosts have prevailed, and all the mountain resorts have few holiday | makers. Emperor William and his fam- ily spent the holiday at the new palace. Later in the week he visited the art ex- hibition and a number of Berlin stu- dios. His Majesty's quarrel with Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia has broken out afresh. Several years ago Princess Frederick Leopold, while skating, was immersed in a pond at Potsdam and was carried to her home, where Prince Frederick Leopold and the Emperor met. The latter was in- censed at the incident and a quarrel ensued, whereupon the Emperor, as head of the Hohenzollern family, ban- ished the Prince and Princess to Cassel. The Prince, who has estates near Pots- dam, desired to return to them and has repeatedly begged the Emperor’s per- mission to do so. His Majesty has steadily refused. The petition was re- newed during the Emperor’s recent visit to Cassel, and a refusal led to a ewal of the quarrel. Lieutenant Commander W. H. Beeh- ler, United States naval attache at Rome and Vienna, was presented to Emperor William at Potsdam on*Mon- day. He was cordially welcomed by his Majesty, who highly complimented the American navy and illustrated the voyage of the Oregon from the Pacific to the West Indies and the battle of Santiago as examples of its eeffctive- ness. His Majesty displayed marvelous information regarding the ships and details of the events of Santiago and asked, “Where is ‘Fighting Bob?" " Lieutenant Beehler has been invited to dine at the palace next Tuesday. Admiral Tirpitz and the other German naval officials are most cordial toward him.

B Special Dispatch to The Call. s.r\(‘n;\!\u:.\“m, \1(1\' 21.—The. an- nouncement said to have been semi- officially made at Los Angeles, where Governor Gage now is, that J. L. Maude, the new , would appol Miller of Los An s occasioned c As & member of the tast Leg- Miller was the strongest antag- st of the good roads bill, which em- ied the best ideas of the department of highways for a term covering months of research and experience. In this attitude of opposition it was declared that he was acting at the r(quesl of the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, which was violently opposed to the measure. Miller was particularly emphatic in his opposition to the bill providing that one- half of all road moneys raised each year should be spent in permanent improve- ments of a character approved by the advanced science of road building. It would seem, therefore, that the very last man who should be selected to promote the good roads movement in this State would be Assemblyman J. H. Miller of Lios Angeles. But the announcement as it comes from Los Angeles occasions small surprise with all the discussion that has followed it. During the early part of the session of the Legislature Miller voted for R. N. Bulla for United States Senator, but toward the last_he turned about and cast his ballot for D. M. Burns. Naturally the belief pre- vails here that if there is any truth in the published story from Los Angeles Miller will receive his job through the influence of Burns, notwithstanding the improprie- ty of the selection in view of Miller's well known attitude against the cause of good roads. Commissioner Maude says that Miller is not a candidate for the office and so developments are awaited by the cnpnal habitues. It is interesting to know that the retiring Commissioners of the De- partment of Highways are opposed to such an appointment™ as that reported from Los Angeles. TAX-PAYERS TO ACT.

This was just twenty- one hours after the tragedy. ‘When the men were carried ashore both were placed in the hospital. The murderer, having been only stunned, was shortly afterward removed to the police station, where the entry, “For investigation,” was made opposite his name. Wade said he was sorry he had hurt Gillespie, as he was ‘“his best friend.” He was kept in ignorance of the desperate condition of his victim until, after the end, he was charged in the Police Court with murder. This was vesterday mornjng. Wade showed a feeble gait as he was conducted from the cells below into the courtroom by Detective Kaapa. As he was settling into a seat in nt of Judge Peterson he staggered. The big mulatto’s head was bandaged. Deputy Marshal Hitchcock read the charge of murder in the first de-ree to the prisoner. The same official then suggested that the case go over until after the return of the Australia, on the Sth of June. Wade was asked if this were not the best course. “I suppose 86, was his reply. Then for a few moments Wade was silent and motionless. In slow tones he broke the silence with the query, “Is that fellow dead?” On being told of the fact and time of Gillespie’s death, he remarked: “I am awfully sorry.” He was venturing to say more when Deputy Marshal Hitchcock checked him with *the usual cautions. Any- thing that he might now utter was liable to be used against him as evi- dence. Immediately after the death of Gil- lespie a Coroners’ jury was impaneled. After having been sworn over Gilles- pie’s body, the jury postponed the in- quest until after the return of the Aus- tralia. There is not a person in Hono= lulu who saw the crime. Poor Gillespie on the way to the hos- pital only murmured that he had not deserved so cruel a fate, as he had but tried to restore peace between the two quarreling men, Wade and ‘Sidney,” the butcher. He also spoke of his mother, hoping she would believe he was “‘all right.” ‘No ante-mortem deposition was ob- tained from the dying man. He had ral- lied wonderfully the morning before his death, but relapsed into a sinking con- dition and could not be disturbed—not even to leave his testimony for the avenging law. The funeral took place from the hos- pital to the Catholic cemetery yester- day. Rev. Father Valentin conducted the services. Employes of W. G. Irwin & Co. (limited), agents of the Oceanic Steamship Company. together with many friends the dead man had known here, attended the obsequies. Many floral emblems were contributed. These, with the coffin, were photo- graphed at the grave to form a sad memento for the bereaved mother. Mrs. Elizabeth K. Wilder, mother of Miss Helen Wilder, ‘who on board the Australia called the police officers up the ladder again when the shooting oc- curred, sent a beautiful cross. New Laws in Texas.
