Andrew Jeutter, Charles Hogan and W. E. Bush, the latter a younger brother of the wounded man, were eye-witnesses to the tragedy. According to their state- ments they, in company with Grimes and Irwin Bush, had left the picnic grounds to hunt on the south side of the river. Dur- ing the day Grimes and Bush frequently quarreled. Finally Bush resented an in- sult by Grimes and the men came to- gether, Bush throwing Grimes to the ground.

NEW YORK, May 20.—A Journal spe- clal from Detroit says: Now that ex-Sec- retary of War Alger is aboard ship en route for Carlsbad, Germany, his friends say he is hopelessly {il. The fact has been concealed for months out of consideration for him. Bright's disease has its grip on him. He may live for some months or even longer, but his end is only a ques- tion of time. Ever since General Alger's enforced retirement from the Cabinet his physical condition has been precarious. For weeks at a time he has been confined to his room. Callers have been told that his malady was mereiy due to gall stones. ———————— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. DOMESTIC PORTS. ASTORIA—Arrived May 20—Stmr George W Elder, hence May 18.

Gl SEial Special Dispatch to The Call CHICAGO, May 20.—Rat traps instead of cetectives will hereafter be employed by Goodrich & Potter, jewelers, to catch thieves that have been stealing hundreds of dollars’ worth of diamonds and other articles from their store. In the course of six weeks many diamond rings, small watches, brooches and other valuables have been missing. Much mystery sur- rounded the thefts, and the clerks began to look askance at each other. Private detectives were employed to assist the watchman to uncover the identity of the bold robbers. Last night the private watchman saw a large rat run out from a corner and take a diamond ring between is teeth and qisappear with it. “The mys- ?e?lo?les robber‘lesufiad been explained and he detectives who have been watching th: clerks since the middle of April were relieved from further duty.

The conductors invari- ably give one of the most successful and enjoyable pienics of the year and the committee in charge promises that this shall be no excention. There is one feature which alone would insure the reign of good-fellowship and mirth. Uncle George Bromley will be a sort of guest of honor and the orator of the day. Uncle George was the first railroad conductor in California and he takes es- pecial pleasure in these annual gatherings of raflroad men and their families and friends.

H. Plummer, United States District Attorney, for ora- tor at the National Cemetery, Presidio, May 30. Grand Army pests and other pa- triotic organizations were represented at the meBting by Gedége H.

Bush and F. S. Drady. Major General Shafter, president of the day, presided at the meeting. A communication was received from Captain Thomas A. Nerney, in which he stated that the Naval Mflitia would join | the parade. A letter from George W. Chaplin signified that Colcnel Oscar F. Long Garrison, Army and Navy Union, would be in line. C. T. Masteller of the programme committee submjtted an out- line of the exertises. The programme at the National Cemetery will consist of a prayer by Chaplain A. Drahms; remarks | by General Shafter; reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg address; oration by Hon. D. E. McKinlay; minute guns and volleys by a firing party. The programme of evening exercises at Metropolitan Temple is still undcr advisement. There will be music by the Presidio band, singing by | qiuanet of male voices, solos and invoca- tion. Colonel H.

He is captain | of the Tenth Infantry, United States | Army, and at present on duty at depart- | ment headquarters. He was introduced | to the committee yesterday by General | Shafter and briefly returned thanks for the honor bestowed u; him. George T.

Garfield Post having signified intention to decorate the graves in Odd Fellows' Cemetery the question came up whether the general committee should include this cemetery in the estimate for flowers. It was the sense of the meeting that Gar- | field Post would properly care for the | graves in Qdd Fellows' Cemetery. General Shafter reported that the chief gardener at the Presidio would supply 1000 roses. Announcement was made that the superintendent of Golden Gate Park would furnish all the flowers required. TLe question of engaging bands evoked | discussion. It was settled on the sugges- tion of Colonel Bush, seconded by Major | Filmer and Colonel O'Neill, that three | bands be engaged—one for the Grand | Army posts, one for the National Guard and one for other organizations of the | column. General Shafter told the committee that | Ceneral Long of the quartermaster’s de- | partment would have the platform in the National Cemetery ready for use in ample time. The committee adjourned to meet, next Monday afternoon. COLONEL CHAS. A. COOLIDGE ARRIVES FROM CHINA After Fighting Two Years He Re- turns to Take Command of Seventh Regiment. | Colonel Charles A.

The fund will apply to medical as well as to commercial education and will be placed in the hands of trustees who will defray the expenses | of Scottish students benefited under the scheme. / Carnegie's gift has been almost the sole topic of conversation in Edinburgh to- day. Sir William Muir, principal of the University of Edinburgh, when inter- viewed on the subject said: I regard the gift as one of extraordinary munificence, and there is no doubt it will largely Increase the number of students. I belleve that another result will be the free- ing of secondary education. Possibly the Gov- erament would make a grant for this purpose. Arthur P. Laurie, principal of the He- roit-Watt College, Edinburgh, said: 1 do not hesitate to characterize the cation of the money as a mistake. Poor parents cannot afford to keep their children -during a university course, and free university education would prejudiclally affect institu- tions like the Heroit-Watt College. If Mr. Carnegle would devote the money to the bet- ter endowment and equipment of universities it would do an immense deal of good.

Hamilton. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, May 20.—Willlam G. Hamilton, who is a member of a promi- in London Saturday to accept Mr. Carne- gie's gift. Among those present were Lord Bigin, Thomas Shaw, M. P.; A. J. Balfour, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, John Morley, James Brytee and others. The matter was discussed at length, but no conclusion was arrived at as to the best method of administering the gift. ‘arnegie declares that all Scotchmen and Scotchwomen shall enter the univer- sities on an equal footing, hence the money is not given to the students to pay their fees, but to the universities them- selves. The system is made nex@etua.l!y free and probably will be under Government aus- pices. \ According to tho educational authorities the addition of Carnegie’'s gift presents considerable difficulties, and for this rea- son the Scotch papers for the present are rather looking the gift horse in the mouth while the English press is inclined to cavi at the method of Carnegle’s munificence. The leading Scotca paper, the Edinbu Scotsman, says editorially that Carne; offer is “disconcerting from its very mag- nificence” and proceeds to show that the gift might disorganize the whole educa- tional system. It points out that the fees which students pay are only a small part nent family of Oakland, is wanted by the police of this city om a charge of forgery. The, alleged crime was committed last Thursday, when Hamilton, it is charged, forged the name of Manager Bailey of the Hercules Gas Engine Agency, at 109 North Los Angeles street, to a check for 310 made pavable to himself, and succeeded in inducing J. V. Collins, a saloon-keeper on the corner of First and Angeles streets, to cash it. The check was sent to the clearing house and thence to the bank, where the forgery was detected. Coliins refunded the money he had ob- tained on it and then notified the police. Hamilton left the city and the police are now endeavoring to ascertain ‘where- abouts. Ir addition to obtaining the money on the forged check, Hamilton, it is charged, appropriated a Southern Pacific 1000-mile book belonging to the Hercules Gas En- gine Agency and used it in obtaining transportation on leaving Los Angeles. Hamilton is about 30 years old, and his father is a well known resident of Oak- land, where he has been connected in an official capacity with the Southern Pacific Company for eighteen years. of the cost of educating them, the re- mainder being suppiied by endowments, and that if Carnegic's project were to bring an increase of students the univer- sities would be compelled to appeal to the public for further funds. Then, if uni- versity education is free, the untry will soon be asked, the Scot: y tends, to make &econdary educ: also. In conclusion, it asserts ceptance of the offer demands careful consideration, although 18 an offer which Scotland cannot me,‘ th- ont‘;l: best 8¢ good reasons.” "< w0 The London papers reflect these difficul- ties, while expressing admiration and gratitude. — Sees the New Comet.

R. P. Huribut, mar- shall, carried the invitation to the Scott | residence. When Mrs. McKinley saw the | gift she was very much pleased and in- sisted that' President McKinley should not forgo the opportunity to greet the Knights. The general design of the invitation is a Qreek eross. In the center Is a gold card upon which the honor of Mrs. Mec- Kinley's presence i{s requested by the Knights Templar. The idea carried out is that of a highly ernamental salver. Fifteen Hundred Swords. Unless something unforseen takes place there will be one of the finest demonstra- tions to-morrow afternoon that the Knights Templar have made in recent years. ‘In the procession which will es- cort President McKinley from the Palace Hotel tq the Mechanics’ Pavilion there will be 1500 swords. In the Pavilion thers will be gathered 12,000 members of the Masonic fraternity, representative of all the orders embraced by it.

Every one In the Pavilion will be provided with a flag to wave and the President will probably wave his. “The Star Spangled Banme.r™ will be sung by the assembled Masonic host. This will close the exercises and the President will return to the Scott residence. The Knights are greatly pleased that they will be enabled to honor the Prest dent as originally planned. President Me- Kinley received his invitation in Wash- ington and accented it. The cathusiasm of the Knights. is indicated by one strik- ing incident. Last week fifteen Knights from Siskiyou county packed their para- phernalia over the snow clad mountains of the north that they might take part in the procession and reception. “Dope” Morrissey Arrested. “Dope” Morrissey was arrested by the police yesterday on suspicion of being one of three men that held up Pat Sullivan of 29 Welch street and relieved him of his silver watch and a small sum of money last Saturday night. _ Morrissey was charged with robbery.
