SONS OF THE LATE H. H. ADOLPHUS, DUKE OF TECK, Captain First bife ECK HAD BEEN INSANE ONDON, Jan. 22.—The Duke of Teck, who died Sunday evening, as cabled to the Assoclated Press last evening, had been insane since the death of the Duchess and had been constantly under restraint. Previous to her death he showed signs of insanity, which subsequent to her demise became fully developed. His death was hastened by an attack of paralysis, which came on suddenly. The general feeling in court circles is that it was a merciful release, though putting the finishing touches on the gloom now overwhelming society, and there is now no prospect of any so- cial season in London, as the court ne- cessarily will go into mourning, which s0 many leading families are already wearing. No members of the family were at the Duke’s bedside when he died, but the Duke and Duchess of York arrived at Richmond Park this afternoon. ° NOWATTHE FRONT PRINCE ALEXANDER OF TECK, Lieutenant Inniskillings.

The Boers could k further, because England had pen- nem In, had taken the land north and d had also blocked the seaboard, en the Boers realized this it led to the war of 1581, which ended in the abso. lute defeat of the British arms at Majuba Hill At that time England had a statesman, Mr. Gladstone, and he, unitke Mr. Cham- berlain, knew what he was up against when he tackled the Boers. A treaty was drawn up at Pretoria, in which the suzerainty of England was acknowledged, but this was never ratified by the Boers. Later Mr. Kru- ger, General Joubert and Mr, Schmidt went to London and a new treaty was drawn up fn which England recognized the absolute independence and suzerainty of the Trans. vaal, and the only other feature was that the Tranevaal should not enter into a treaty with any other nation except the Orange Free State without England having power to veto within six months. After the defeat of Majuba Hill England decided to do by the ballot box what she could not do by force of arms. So she flooded the country with English and then demanded the franchise for them. These Englishmen merely went there to make a fortune. They not intend to stay; they did not assimi- te with the country, they were merely ad- turers who wanted everything in sight, i who dld not wish even to pay their re of the taxes Napoleon once sald an English army was a troop of lions led by asses. Bismarck ald some vears ago that England would dig her grave in South Africa before the close of the nineteenth century. If it takes a hundred years to make a century there s time yet for Bismarck's prophecy to be ful- filled. 1 deny that English ideals or civilization are n any way higher or more to be desired than Dutch ideals or civilization. England still has the relic of barbarism—the law of primogeniture and the House of Lords, the latter of which will cause her downfall in South Africa.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, Jan. 22.—Charles B. Gibson, | a well-known real estate dealer, with of- | fices In the Porteo block, was arrested on a charge of forgery. The complaint | was sworn to by Mrs. Refugio de Bernal | of Milpitas, and she charges him with | | forging the name of County Auditor | | Thomas F. Morrison to a note for $600. | A short time ago Mrs. Bernal's husband dled, leaving_her 32000 insurance in the Workmen. Gibson is financier of Enter- prise Lodge, and according to complain- ant he at once laid plans to secure some of this money. She says Gibson made | many trips to her home at Milpitas and | made all kinds of inducements to her for | loaning the money. Finally ne told her | that Auditor Morrison wanted to borrow | 3600 and would give his note as security. | Mrs. Bernal finally consented and gave Gibson the money. In return she re- ceived a note purperted to be signed by Morrison, bearing date of December 3§, 1899, with interest fixed at 9 per cent. The note was payable in six months. A few days ago Morrison’s appointment as auditor of the Postal Department for the Philippings was announced. Mrs. Bernal decided sha wanted her $600 be- fore he left and gave the note to Attor- ney Owen D. Richardson to look after. Then it was that the forgery was discov- ered. Glbson. was arraigned before Justice Wallace. His preliminary examination was set for February 1, and bail fixed at $2000.
