Fred Yardell, a Livermore ranchman, died near that place last evening from a wound inflicted by his own revolver. The weapon fell from his pocket while he was climbing a fence and was discharged as it struck the ground., the bullet penetrat- ing his abdomen. The unfortunate man was employed on the John Scott ranch, near Livermore. The accident which caused his death oc- curred as he was going about his work on the place last Thursday. Some of his fellow workmen, hearing the shot, hurried to his aid and found him bleeding and unconscious. He was car- ried to the ranchhouse, where every ef- fort was made to stanch the flow of blood till the arrival of medical assistance from Livermore. As soon as the doctors saw the patient they said that there was little hope of saving his life. He lingered about thirty hours after the accident. Yardell arrived at Livermore from Ideho only a few weeks ago. He was a stranger in Livermore and nothin, is known there of his family connections. He was 23 years of age. The remains were removed to the branch morgue in Livermore, where Coroner Mehrmann will hold an inquest next Monday evening.

An Account with us IsE with i EDITORS HEAP THEIR WRATH ON THE KAISER German Press Continues to Comment on His Speech. ————— Great Britain or Japan Sus- pected of Trying to Cause New Trouble. —— BERLIN, April 6.—The entire German press is still greatly excited over the Em- peror’s recent utterances on the occasion of his toasts and the reviews in to-day’s weekly press confirm this condition. The Cologne Volks Zeitung says Em- peror Willlam’s words to the Emperor Alexander Grenadier Regiment upon the occagion of thelr installation in their new barracks near the Emperor's palace, when he called them his life guards, have been received everywhere with dismay and amazement, but sadder still is the fact that the Emperor had the regiment’s barracks built in close proximity to the castle, which shows that the Emperor meant what he sald upon that occasion. The paper then dissects the Emperor's toast concerning Russian-German rela- tions, and says It is evident that some- body is systematically trying to embroil these hitherto friendly relations, and that from the Emperor’s hints this can only be Great Britain or Japan. The paper con- cludes: ‘““Where on earth are our new English friends?” The fact of the matter is that the Em- peror's utterances have been interpreted in all ways, to suit everybody’'s taste and partyism. The case of Frederick W. Beyer of Gera, formerly a large importer and dealer in American meals, who was ruined by the local authorities rendering his trade im- possible, is now in the highest land court at Jena, which has decided that the State does not owe Bever the damages of 50,000 marks which he claims. Beyer will carry the case to the imperial court at Leipsic. The Germasn press comments unfavor- ably on_the farewell speech of C. P. Bryan, United States Minister to Brazil at Port Allegra, in which Mr. Bryan was guoted as counseling the German resi- ents of Brazil to contribute to the wel- fare of that country without wounding the national sentiments of the Brazilians. A letter in relation to this matter from a prominent German of Rio de Janeiro is making the rounds of the press. This letter says Mr. Bryan's words were tact- less and that the American Minister in- terfered in matters which did not con- cern him, and denies that Germany seeks political independence for the German residents in Southern Brazil. @ il @ PORTO RICANS IN HAPPY MOOD Governor Allen Says the Rule of Uncle Sam Is Agreeable. WASHINGTON, April 6.—Charles H. Allen, Governor of Porto Rico, who ar- rived in Washington this morning, had an hour’s conference with President Mc- Kinley to-day. Great interest was mani- fested in Governor Allen’s visit, on ac- count of rumors that have been rife ever since he sailed from San Juan that it was his intention to relinquish his post in the island. After the conference, however, Gov- ernor Allen announced that he would not resign and would return to his dutles about the first week in May, after set- tling up some private affairs in Boston. It is pretty well understood that Gov- ernor Allen came to Washington in the hope that the President would relleve him of his duties in Porto Rico and that he geked the President to do so, but the President prevailed upon him to continue at the head of the administration of af- fairs of the island. Governor Allen en- joys the confidence of the President to a very great degree and he feit that it was his duty to accede to the wishes of the chief executive. Speaking about the affairs of the island Governor Allen said that the situation had improved very materially in every way since he became Governor over a year ago. He said further: Conditions in the Island. The civil government established in Porto Rico is working smoothly. The various de- partments have been organized and our ad- munistration is seemingly giving general sat- isfaction. In a material w: there has been ‘wonderful progress. Most of the land which was not under cultivation under the old regime is being taken up and being made profitable. There is & great field in the island for products that can be shipped to the United States, es- pecially oranges and other fruits. The ad- vantages possessed by the Porto Rican fruit growers, on account of the discrimination in thelr favor @s far as tariff duties are con- cerned, which will be increased when all duties are removed July 1, cannot but result in mak- ing It & great fruit growing country. Recently persons who are interested In the growing of lilies and other flowers, as well as onions and potatoes in Bermuda, have been looking over the island with a view to trans- ferring to Porto Rico the agricultural indus- tries that have mnd; Bermuda famous. A faint idea of what this would mesa to the islands can be gathered from the fas tkat last year this country imported frow Degmuda 400,000 bushels of onions_alone. In the old established industries in Porto Rico there has been a great improvement in all except coffee growing and production. Un- fortunately, this is languishing at the present time. The production of sugar has been in- creased from 40,000 tons last year to probably 100.000 tons estimated for this year. e sugar industry is bound to flourieh, ow: tariff discrimination In its favor. Upon the estimated for this year the Porto Ricans will save $5,500,000 In tariff duties. The orange Industry is being increased by the investments of Americans. The frult is deliclous and there is plenty of land to be had for the cultivation of oranges. 1 believe that Senator Foraker builded more wisely than he knew in the organic law cov- ering the island, and I feel, after a somewhat ultimate acquaintance with the situation, that that law itself, interpreted in the spirit In which it was made, will be found to work quite satisfactorily in Porto Rico for some time to come. Causss of the Complaints. ‘When asked about the alleged unpopu- larity of the Hollander tux law Governor Allen explained that there was naturaliv much misunderstanding about the inau- guration of the pure,y Amcrican system of taxation, based upon property valua- tions, to take the place of the old Spamsh stem that had been ir vogue for over 300 years. He sald that iLe total valuation of the property in Porto Rico would be close to $100,000,000 and urder the law but one-half of 1 per cent, it is believed, could be levied for municipal purposes and the for insular purposes. This would re- fire abe xx.ooo.gwrwno other million B Ennoy’ tn"smeka wp the_ total b dget necessary udge! would be ralsed by excise taxes on rum, cf s, cigarettes, e eté. wvernor Allen explained that the com.- laint made against the features of.the ollander law, which cnly allows _six months for the redemption of property sold for taxes, was one that could be rem- edied by the next Legislature, which meets In December, 'f the time was found to be too short. Governor Allen said that the taxation under the Hollander law was lower than in any of the States of this country. NEWS FROM THE CAPITALS OF EUROPE BY CABLE TO THE CALL. VISIT TO KING IS PERPLEXING TO CATHOLICS Court Deputation In- trusted Wich a Deli~ cate Mission. —— Representatives of the Church ~ Will Call on Edward This Week}. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, April 6.—A deputation of Ro- man Catholics who will visit the King next week to present an address have a rather delicate problem to face. The text of all addresses must be submitted for royal approval before presentation for the double purpose of preventing any false note and at the same time of affording to royalty an opportunity for framing an appropriate answer. Under these circumstances the deputas tion is naturally perplexed how to avoid giving utterance to the sentiment upper- most in Roman Catholic minds in connec- tion with royalty and at the same timo frame an address not replete with mean- ingless platitudes. Since the war broke out the public expressions of Cardinal Vaughan have given great offense to tha majority of Roman Catholics in England who are Irish born. They have taken the position that this gquestion is one of politics and not religion and hence are opposed to the Cardinal’s views. A leading Catholic paper, the Catholic Times, is outspoken in declaring that the coronation oath is one which under all circumstances should be subjected to pro- test wherever a public expression of Cath- olic opinion is made, and should the dep- utation leave out a reference to this sub- ject the result may put to a severe test the loyalty of the lay Catholics toward the Cardinal. DEATH HAS ENORMOUS HARVEST IN INDIA Depopulation Caused by Cholera Reaches an Appalling Figure in Al] of the Cities. LONDON, April 6.-The depopulation of India through famine and cholera is as- suming alarming proportions. The latest advices from Simla say the census returns of the central provinces show a decrease of over a million since 1891, when under normal conditions an increase of a mil- lion and a half might have been expected. It is expected that five millions have died in India since 1896 from causes direct- ly due to the famine. In Western India things are even worse. The Odepoor State returns show a decrease of 84,000, or 45 er cent of the population; the State of hopaul shows a decrease of 808,000; the district of Banda shows a decrease of 124, 000, and so on. In Bombay City the pop lation has diminished by 50,000. The localities which escaped the plague show a satisfactory though uncompensat- ing increase. For Instance Madras, which has galned 8 per cent over 1891 ENGLISH GUN-MAKERS WANT A PLANT HERE Rumor Abroad That a Large Estab- lishment May BeConstructed Some- where in Pennsylvania. NEW YORK, April 6.—Men prominent in the local trade are inclined to discredit the report that the Vickers Sons & Maxim have purchased a site on the Delaware River for the erection of a shipbuilding and ordnance plant. It is known that the Great Britain corporation has been nego- tiating for some time past for a gun plant In this country, and it is believed that when the works are finally decided upon they will go up somewhere in Penn- sylvania. D TRIFPLE ALLIANCE MAY REVISE THE TREATY Italy Will Probably Ask for Minor Changes, but Compact Is Likely to Endure, BERLIN, April 6.—The Lokal Anzeiger states that in well informed circles here it is not regarded as impossible that Signor Xanardelll will make proposals for changes_in_the treaty of the triple alll- ance. No doubt, however, is felt that the treaty will be renewed, especially as the advantages from it are chiefly on the si of Italy. The treaty does not expire until May 6, 1903, and it will continue un- changed from that date unless it is de- nounced twelve months in advance. DICKENS’ FAMOUS INN WILL BE TORN DOWN Scene of Some Celebrated Descriptions by the Novelist Is Doomed to Destruction. LONDON, April 6.—The Black Bull Inn, the last of the anclent hostelries in Hol- born, is to be pulled down. It was here that Dickens laid the scene of the nurs- ing experiences of Mrs. Gamp and Betsy Prig and where the immortal Sairey per- petuated so many of her historic experi- nces. & After standing for over 300 years the structure is now to make way for mod- ern buildings, which will soon replace- all the old haunts so dear to Dickens. ADVERTISEMENTS, AN EASY WAY To Keep Well, It is easy to keep well if we would only observe each day a few simple rules of health. The all important thing is to keep the stomach right, and to do this it is not necessary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill of fare. Such pampering simply makes a capricious appetite and a feeling that certain favorite articles of food must be_avoided. Professor Wiechold gives pretty good advice on this subject. He says. “1 am 68 years old and have never had a serious illness, and at the same time my life has been largely an indoor one, but I discovered that the way to keep healtny was to keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran crackers or dieting of any sort; on the contrary I always eat what my appetite eraves, but for the past eight my robust health for a man of my age toytha regular daily use of Stuart’s Tab- lets. “My_physiclan first advised me to use them because he said they were perfectly harmless and were not a secret patent medicine, but contained onl&the natural digestives, peptones and stase, after using them a few weeks I never ceased to thank him for his advice. “T honestly believe the habit of taking Dyspepsia Tablets after meals is the real health habit, because their use brings health to the sick and ailing and preserves health to_the well and strong.” Men and women past fifty years of age need a safe digestive after meals to insure ease, and the safest, own and most widely is Stuart’s I psia Tab- lets. They are found In every well re; household from Maine to Califo: and in Great Britain and Australia are rapidly pushing their way into popular favor. All drugsists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, full sized packages at 50 cents, and for a weak stomach a 50-cent package ‘will often do fifty dollars worth of good. A ITALY'S RULER SAYS WE LEAD WORLD’S NAVIES King Victor Graciously Receives Commander Beehler, Inventor Marconi Will Soon Be Obliged to Do Mili- tary Service. e BERLIN, April 6.—Commander Willam H. Beehler. the United States Naval At- tache at Berlin, Vienna and Rome, has returned from his trip of inspection to the navy-yards of Austria and Italy. Commander Beehler found Austria and Italy to be fully alive in naval matters. At Trieste, Austria is constructing three large battleships on the latest models. He found the Austrian navy to be in excel- lent condition. Italy will launch two new battleships during 1901 and begin the con- struction of two others in the yards at Spezia. At Rome Commander Bechler was pre- sented to “‘ne King of Italy, with whom he had a ong conversation. King Victor flEmlmmueA saidto the American naval of- cer: “‘You have nothing to learn from- us. The United States are at the head in na- val matters.” Commander Beehler then spoke to King Victor Emmanuel concerning Signor Mar- conl. The King, replying, said: ‘““Marconi will soon have to do military service, but we shall arrange to assign him to a vessel upon which he can con- tinue his experiments while fulfilling his military duties.” CHANTING OF A PRAYER STAYS THE MULTITUDE Timely Action of an Aleppo Muezzin Prevents a Panic at the Sultan’s Reception. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 6—During the panic resulting from an earthquake shock, felt at the time of the Sultan’s re- ception last Sunday in the palace, a Muez- zin from Aleppo, possessed of a magnificent voice, began chanting a prayer from the Koran for pro- tection nst ~ earthquakes. His voice rose above the tumuit and had an instantaneous effect on those present. The Sultan, who had taken a few steps from the throne, and all other Moslems present, holding their hands before them, joined in the supplication of the Muezzin. Afterward the band resumed playing and the reception was continued. IRELAND’S POPULATION IS REMARKABLY SMALL Census of the United Kingdom Indi- cates That There Has Been an Fxtraordinary Decrease. LONDON, April 6.—Ths census of the United Kingdom, taken last Sunday night, will not be tabulated for some time, but the indications are that the popuiation of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales is more than 50,000,000 The percentage of increase is less than in the previous decade. Depopulation of rural districts in favor of citles is most marked. Ireland’s population is less than it was ten years ago and probably lower than :t any other time in the nineteenth cen- ury. e HOBSON’S WORK UNDONE BY A TON OF DYNAMITE Collier Merrimac, Which Obstructed Santiago Harbor, Is Blown Up. SANTIAGO DE' CUBA, April 6.—The colller Merrimac, which was blown up and sunk in the harbor by Lieutenant Hobson while Admiral Cervera's fleet was inside in 1898, was successfully destroyed by a ton of dynamite to-day. Hitherto it has been extremely dangerous for ves- sels to attempt the narrow entrance to the harbor, but now that this wreck has been destroyed it is perfectly safe. A great crowd on shore witnessed the blowing up of the old hulk. DR. KILMER'S THIISAS. TH [rl'l[ AND SWAMP-ROOT.

RIG PACKING COMPANIES MAY FORM A TRUST Reports From London Say That Chi- cago, Kansas City and Omaha Interests Are Uniting. terests in this city and a recognized au- thority on matters pertaining to that busi- ness, was seen to-night with regard to the dispatches from London that a large com- bination of the packing interests was be- ing formed.
