Plan to Check Individual Action and to Preserve Integrity. Ll . Epecial Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 146 G STREET, N. ., WASHINGTON, May 2L.—In order that China's integrity may not be dis- turbed after the withdrawal of the pow- ers, & proposal has been made -that the powers enter into a special agreement binding themselves not to seize territory in case the Peking Government is unable to meet its obligations with respect to in- demrity. This proposal contemplates the appointment of an international board of financiers which shall periodically collect from China the amount of money which foreign Ministers in Peking say she can pay, and this sum shall be distributed among the powers in proportion to the value of bonds issued to them by the Chi- nese Government. Should the Chinese Government fail to pay the amount the board fixes upon after consultation with the foreign Ministers as reasonable, then each power shall lose in proportion to the amount of bonds it has received. Individual action is to be prohibited and the sefzure of territory is not to occur in case China shall fail to make payment. Special Commissioner Rockhill, who has | communicated the information regarding this proposal to the State Department, has been carefully instructed by the State De- partment as to the attiude of he President thereon. Rockhill's instructions permit his acceptance of the general features of the proposal. Whether the powers would be willing to, adopt the plan outlined cannot be said at this time, as some of the Ministers in Pe- | king are as yet without instructions from their Governments. Even should the plan fail of adoption, however, it is the purpose of the administration to insert in the final treaty to be entered into a provision for the establishment of the “open door” and 4 | if possible a provision insuring the integ- rity of China. The question of the method to be adopted to obtain payment of the indemnity cannot be determined until the amount of indemnity is fixed, and the State Department is still insisting that there should be a substantial reduction. CRITICISM OF VON WALDERSEE Russian Press Denounces His Cam- paign in China. 8T. PETERSBURG, May 21.—The at- tack on the Kaiser's speech by the Berge- vaia Viedomost! is considered to have been inspired. It says: “We suppose Emperor Willlam made the speech to try to pacify the Germans, who are angry at the disproportion be- tween the real interests of Germany in the Far East and the colossal sacrifice of lives and money for fantastic ends. It is principally the fear of a break in the amicable relations with Russia that causes anxiety among the common sense people in Germany. ““Waldersee's campaign has been the most deplorable mission in modern his- tory. The Chinese have not learned to appreciate our civilization. On the con- trary, such deplorable nditions cannot be hidden by rhetorical display Novosti sa “The ~ Emperor praises Count von Waldersee. Public opinion not only of Germany but of all Europe appreciates the case otherwise. At best his efforts have been useless. Quite uselessly he prolonged the military occupation of Pechili, and artificially ere- ated a sphere of activity. Otherwise peace would have been concluded long ago.” The Novoe Vremya has a special dis- patch from Viadivostok describing a grand performance at the Chinese theater in aid of the families of the Chinese fall- en. The Russian Governor was present and large sums were subscribed. PRINTERS WILL HOLD OUTING AT EL CAMPO Elaborate Souvenirs Containing the Best Possible Workmanship to Be Given Away.

AKLAND, May 21.—The retire- ment of George Estes, chairman of the Southern Pacific system division of the Order of Railway Telegraphers, and B. A. Myers, secretary of the division, was not volun- tary, though resignations prepared by the two are now on their way to Grand Presi- dent Dolphin at St. Louis. Before the res- igrations arrived Grand President Delphin removed both of the Pacific Coast officials. The actual reason for the dif- ferences between Estes and Dolphin is the refusal of the Order of Railway Teleg- raphers to recognize the new general or- der of railway men known as the United Brotherhood of Rallway Employes. Estes possesses great ability as an ors ganizer, and has taken much interest in the organization of the new general order of railroad employes. This was not pleas- ing to the officers of the Order of Rall- way Telegraphers, and a few weeks ago Doiphin himself made a trip to San Fran- cisco to look into this very matter. He returned to the headquarters of the order in St. Louls without taking any action, gnd the remcval of Estes was of recent ate. A dispatch from St. Louis, sent out through the regular news channels of the Assoclated Press, tells the story of the removal of Estes and Myers without mentioning their names. This dispatch President M. M. Dolohin of the Order of Rall- way Telegraphers, wno has just returned to the headquarters of that organization from a busi- ness trip through the East, when shown a dis- patch stating that the der of Railway Teleg- raphers is interested in the establishment of an organization similar to the old American Ralil- way Union on the Pacific Coast, sald: ““The Order of Railway Telegraphers Is neither officlally nor otherwise connected with such & movement. It is true that two of our local officials in San- Francisco were connected with the movement, aud they were removed from office by me a f days ago on that ac- count. The plan of organizing all railway em- ployes into one organization is not feasible, and it is my belief that it never will be. The old class organizations which are now in_exist- ence and have been for years have accom- plished great good for the railway employes, and there is no reason why they cannot con- tinue to do so. I will reiterate that we have not only not aided or abetted this new move- ment, but that we have not recognized it in any way."” This is a_ plain statement coming from the head of one of the strongest of the railway orders. Taken together with the annBunced removal of Hstes and Myers, it means that as far as the officials of the Orders of Rallway Telegraphers are concerned they will not recognize the new general railway order. Estes has thrown himself bodily into the new order, and it remains to be seen whether he can get the telegraphers into it or whether the officers of the Order of Railway Telegraphers can hold them to the old organization. This will be an important raflroad ques- tion, for the telegraphers are now very strong, parti v on the Southern Pa- cific Compar stem. Between San Francisco and Portland on the north, OF SOUTHERN PA- CHAIRMAN RAILWAY TELEGRAPHERS. CIFIC DIVISION OF ORDER OF ” Ogden on the east and New Orleans on the south there are 1300 employes eligible to membership in that order and 1100 of them are members, showing the complete- ness of the organization. Much of this organization is due to the work of Estes, but not a little is due to W, E. Davidson, who has been appointed by President Dol- hin to succeed Estes. These two men Rn,vo been leaders in the order on the Pa- cific Coast. The position which Estes held and to which Davidson has been appointed is the head one of the order so far as all of the lines of the Southern Pacific Company are concerned. If there is any trouble be- tween the men and the officials of the road it becomes the duty of the chairman of the division to adjust it. From the statement of President Dol- phin it is apparent that his order is going to lcok with disfavor upon the new gen- eral order. What stand is to be taken b; the four other great ‘brotherhoods,™ 3 those of the engineers, firemen, conduc- tors and tralnmen, has not been made manifest. There has bcen a general har- mony of action between the five “brother- hoods” since they united against the rail- road on the insurance scheme proposed by the late Collis P. Huntington, but whether it will extend to opposition to the new general order is a question. The gen- eral impression is that the old organiza- tlons will oppose the new one, but that remains a matter for future development. @ sttt el e @ GOLOEN JUBILE 0F UNVERSIY Methodist Institution San Jose Will Cele- brate. in SAN May 21.—The commence- ment exercises of the University of the Pacific, which are now in progre: attracting a great deal of attentio the alumni of the school, because they mark the semi-centennial of the found- ing of the institution.

PUEBLO, Colo., May 21.—It is learned to-day that the flood which last night washed out a Denver and Rio Grande Railway bridge over 8t. Charles Creek, ten miles south of Pueblo, submerging a pas- senger train, caused the death of two per- sons at Beulah, twenty miles further up the stream.. Mr. and Mrs. J. Brown of Avondale, who were occupying a cabin in the canyon for the summer, were drowned. The escape of the passengers from the wrecked train was almost miraculous. The train was struck by a wall of water fourteen feet high and carried down with the bridge. The passengers, eighteen in number, succeeded in reaching places of safety on theitops of the cars. H. F. Grove, editor of an agricultural paper in Denver, tried to reach the shore before. belp came and was carried eight miles down stream before he was able to land. The flood was causcd by a cloudburst in the Sierra Mojada Mcuntains. enn e PROMOTION FOR COLONELS AND QUICK RETIREMENT Two Officers Will Advance to Judge Advocate Generalship Before Davis Is Appointed.

SON' LIFE ENDS WTH HER 0N Crazed Woman Com- mits Murder and Sui- cide Near Tacoma. TACOMA, May 21.—Mrs. Charles Gun- zert, wife of a plumber, to-day shot and killed her 13-year-old son and then com- mitted suicide by taking carbolic acid The tragedy occurred in the woods west of Lake Park station and was.evidently premeditated, as the mother had invited the boy out for a walk. The revolver, a three-ounce bottle of carbolic acid and a bottle of strychnine were. carried by the desperate woman. The boy was shot four times in the back and side. Mrs. Gunzert's face was pressed close to that of her son—so close, in fact, that the carbolic acid running out of her mouth fell upon and burned the flesh on the boy’s cheek. The bodies were found shortly after the tragedy by a man wan- dering through the woods. Mrs. Gunzert was the daughter of John H. Anderson, a prominent politician. Her physician says she was mentally unbal- anced for some time. LOST THEIR PLANT IN A FOREST FIRE Owners of a Destroyed Shingle Mill Suing Neighbors to Recover Da.ma.gas.

In their complaint they allege that they warned the defendants against start- ing a forest fire on land adjoining theirs, P %nat the warning was ignored and that Alexander and Peers were grossly careless in not guarding against a spread of the flames to the shingle mill. Samp- son brothers’ entire plant, together with a large stock of shingles and lumber, was destroyed. ¢ A I R Strike Affects Steamship.

It was announced yesterday that the Vickers Company had obtained an option on the stock of the Bethlehem Steel Com- pany at a price bordering on 23. The op- tion is also said to include the Bethlehem Iron Company stock at about the present market price of 63. In order to complete the transaction the New York syndicate, which is to under- write the present combination, has been compelled to raise about $15,000,000 in act- ual cash, as it is entirely a money trans- action, and fully that much will be re- quired to purchase the two Bethlehem companies’ stock. It will take $7,000,000 to buy the Bethlehem steel stock. Stockholders of the Cramp . Corapany will, it is said, have the option of taking cash or exchanging their holdings, share for share, for a 7 per cent preferred stock in the new company. There is $5.000,000 worth of Cramp stock and $15,000,000 cash ‘will be necessary to buy out Bethlehem. VASSAR COLLEGE FIELD DAY. POUGHKEEPSIE, N.

Colonel Mills will return from Wasl on to- morrow, bringing with him the official or- | ders. He will cause five men to be notified of their dismissal by noon, thus prevent- ing them from reporting for ernoon and evening duty at 2 o'clock, the usual time. At dress parade, a few minutes after 6 o'clock, as the corps is assembled on the grounds, the cadet adjutant will read out the sentences, including, besides the five dismissed, six men suspended. The expulsion of five cadets at one time for disciplinary reasons is "hhoutmfll}el in the history of the academy. a thoritles regret the necessity for such drastic action, but they feel that it is an essential to the well-being of the acad- emy. Of course the cadets are sald to have been implicateq in the demonstra- tion agafnst Colonel Mills. Five were ac- cused of conceiving and le: it, twen- ty-five of actual participation and eighty- three were declared to be particeps crim- inis, in that they aided and abetted deed by encouraging shouts and cheers. The five chief offenders accused are re- ceiving the most severe penalty. Only six of the second-class offenders are being punished now, leaving nineteen of those thus accused to be tried.
