AUSTRIA WARNS THE GERMANS OF A DANGER Acquiescence in Every Agrarian Demand Is Opposed. Subjects of the Kaiser Are Anxiolls to End the China Affair. BERLIN, May 25.—The declarations of Count Goluchowski, the Imperial Minister of Foreign Affairs, before the Austro- Hungarian delegates have created intense interest here. They were received in the main with satisfaction, as expressing con- tinued and cordial faith in the triple alli- ance; but his reference to commercial re- lations, intimating that they must not be seriously disturbed if political friendship is to continue, is here interpreted as a plainer hint than is usually given from Vienna thaet Germany must not yield far to the agrarians. Other points mentioned by the Czech and Polsh leaders here are considered un- important, especially as Hungary in uni- son favors continued cordial friendship with Germany. The press points out that the Russo-Austrian understanding regard- ing the Balkans is still valid, henoce seri- cus disturbances there are improbable. The case of Queen Draga of Servia is almost universally re ed in Germany from its commercial Official circles deny that the affair is ught with seri- ous political import. e newspapers throughout the week have printed many anecdotes and some amusi: correspond- ence from Servia. Beveral com- mercial authorities consider that Queen Draga’s health mey improve in view of the fact that she has been sent to Franz- ensbad. The feeling throughout Germany of tiredness of the China war still continues, and now includes even the Emperor, who, during Count von Bulow’s visit to the Reichland, was thoroughly informed re- garding the present status of affairs in China and thereupon agreed with the Chancellor that It was best to effect the withdrawal of the German forces as quickly as possible and reach some under- standing in regard to paying the indem- nity. This conclusion, it is said, was hast- ened because, in contradiction of the semi- official statements on the subjeot, Rus- sia’s attitude in China recently has come outspokenly hostile to Germany an the danger seemed imminent of a serious clashing there. Among the Germans returning from China will be Emperor William’s special- ly deputed battle scene painter, Theodore Rocholl, who is laden with numberless sketches made on the spot, from which his Majesty will order scores of paintin, to be executed. Herr Rocholl has partly finished two fine intings showing the body of Colonel York von Wartenburg be- ing delivered at the Shatow, and also the fureral of Von Wartenburg in Peking. BEmperor William has created a new dec- oration for the members of the Red Cross Society who served in South Africa. It is a medal with a gold pin. On the medal is the inscription, “South Africa, 1899-190.” de. DESPONDENCY MAKES SUICIDE OF FINANCIER e R A Distinguished Russian Allows a Train to Crush Him. Many Large Institutions Em- barrassed by the Deed of Altschensky. e ST. PETERSBURG, May 24 (Friday).— President Altschensky of the Kharkoff Chamber of Commerce committed sufcide Tuesday by allowing a railroad train to run over him near BSt. Petersburg. He was a financler of great influence. His death,was due to flnancial difficulties and will embarrass many_institutions. He owed the Volga-Karma Bank 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 roubles and was president of the fcultural Bank. - The des owed about 10,000,000 roubles, his creditors including the A. H. Meyer Discount Bank, the Moscow Credit Company and the Kharkoff Commercial Company. He con- trolled the Donelse-Yudeyeff Iron Works, which concern is undercapitalized. The Imperial Bank will protect those who have sfi ‘ered from the death of M. Altschen- sky. SHAMROCK WRECK MAKES THE EKING MORE POPULAR Britain’s Ruler Displays Tact and More Completely Endears Him- self to His People. «LONDON, May %.—The King’s escape at the time of the accident on board the Shamrock II last Wednesday has, if any- thing, added to his popularity. With what tact his Majesty preserves the happy re- lations between himself and his subjects can be judged from an incident tha® oc- curred this week. Colonel, the Honorable Charles Elliot, whose friendship with the King dated from the time of the royal visit to America, when Colonel Elliot act- ed as the mentor of the then Prince of Wales, lay dying at the Sports Club. Colonel Eiliot had not had any intimate relations with the King for ‘many years, but his Majesty, hearing of the soldier’s condition, immediately drove to the club, got out and Inquired sympathetically fof is former friend, and these visits were continued dally until Colonel Eilliot died. Princess Christian also called at the club, for Elliot was formerly a member of her household. She walked straight to his room, said a few words and kissed the dying man’s hand. Cervera Fears for Spain. MADRID, May 25.—Speaking before the naval congress yesterday on the subject whether or not Spain should be a naval power, Admiral Cervera expressed fears of the disintegration of Spain into a num- ber of smaller states. “I do not wish,” he sald, “that the in- terests of the navy should predominate at the expense of the other interests of the country, but, observing, as I do, what is going on at the present day, I am afraid Spain may become like the Italy of the middle ages.” MUNIFICENCE OF CARNEGIE AROUSES IRE Protest Against Invasion of the Almighty Dol- __lar of America British Fress Also Indulges in Facetious Remarks Anent Morgan and Croker. T AR LONDON, May 25.—‘We trust in Scot- tish pride to rise in its wrath against this invasion of the almighty dollar,” says the Review of this week, commenting upon Andrew Carnegie's munificence to Scot- land's universities. “Many of the oldest and best families in Scotland,” continues the periodical, “send their sons to Scottish universities, - | where they pay the fees, like the sons of their humblest neighbors, neither more nor less. Is it to be belleved that this will_continue if the fees are pald for them by Mr. Carnegie? Imagine the Duke of Hamilton, Cameron of Lochiel or Macdon- ald of the Isles ailowing his heir to get education at the cost of an American iron monger! We shall next hear of some Chi- cago pork (Fackel‘ proposing to buy up Oxford and Cambridge and dictating terms of admission and the subjects to be taught; or of Boss Croker forming a lobby to control the London University, with the object of inculcating Tammany prin- clfpleu n the mind of the rising generation of Cockneys.” The Bt. James Gazette, in_an editorial headed “The Anglo-Saxon Millennium,” commenting on a pessimist's proposal that ‘“Yankee Doodle” be made the na- tional anthem, that the American lan- guage be made compulsory in the gchools and that the coronation of J. erpont Morgan be arranged for June or July next, says: “But there is a bright side of the Ameri- canization of this insignificant country. It ought to make war Impossible. How can the patriotic American suffer from Anglophobia when he loves England so much that he wants to be her owner? How could he sink merchant ships in which his own country invested? War would ruin his industrial enterprises, stage, press and locomotive companies, philanthropic schemes, aristocracy, race riding—in fact, everything except our ag- riculture, which has ceased to exist.” Princely Title Relinquishd. BERLIN, May 2.—Bernhard of Saxe- Weimar, who under the dynasty law has been compelled with his wife to leave Germany for the United Btates, has vol- untarily relinquished the princely title and the right of succession. In considera- tion of this act the Grand Duke of Saxe- Weimar has awarded to him and his wife the titles of Count and Countess of Gray- enberg.

Two Oruisers Are Sent to Protect the Federal Interests. Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., May 25.—The offi- cial announcment that a serious clash in authority has occurred between the prov- ince and the Federal administration will be contained in an extra of the Provincial Gazette on Monday morning. For some time there have been strained relations between the two governments over the valuable salmon fisheries of the Fraser River. Now the provincial executive has taken the defiant action of seizing the in- | dustry and its control and attempting its administration. With this trouble and considerable difficulty between the ocan- nerymen and fishermen the outlook for the season is not promising. The canners have insisted upon the province taking hold of the administra- tion of affairs because the Dominion has heretofore put all revenues into the gen- eral treasury and the fisherles of the | Fraser River have not been improved to i the extent of even a fifth of the revenue idlrectly derived from the big canning | business. Already 2500 licenses have been issued by the Dominlon to fishermen at 1810 each. The new regulations of the province reduce the cost of a license to | 8250, and provide that the remainder of the previous revenue be made up by a special levy on the canners’ pack. A board of commissioners composed of rep- 1esentatives of the canners and the fisher- men is to regulate fisheries and admin- ister affairs for the province. On _the other hand, the labor leaders of the fishermen are strongly taking the side of the Dominfon. They belidve that the Federal authorities are determined not to g1ve up control of the fisheries, especially as there are two large fishery cruisers now here fitting out for the protection of Dominion interests. According to a long established precedent, minion authority extends over tidal witers and provincial | authority over rivers and lakes. The po- | sition now is that the fishermen must buy | both provincial and Dominion licenses | when fishing around the mouth of the kraser River and in the Gulf of Georgia, |or else be liable to have their boats and outfits seized by one or the other of the fishery cruisers. Leading fishermen are ‘of the opinion that there will be another strike this year. The men want 15 cents per fish guarantee for the season, while the canners are talk- ing 10 cents, and they are now no nearer a solution than they were a month ago. | REPORT ON PHILIPPINES MYSTERIOUSLY LOST Judge Taft Sent It on the Sheridan, but It Cannot Be Found. WASHINGTON, May 2.—According to a cablegram received Ly the Secretary of War from Judge Taft, of the Philippine Commission, the report of the commission was mailed on the transport Sheridan, which arrived at San Francisco from Ma- nila a week ago, but the War Department | has been unable to find the slightest clew to its whereabouts. The commission’s report, making rec- ommendations for a genegal government [ for the Philippines, was anxiously looked for by the Secretary of War. Its non- arrival yesterday caused no special un- easiness, but when it was ascertained to- day that it could not be found telegrams were sent to the Postoffice Department at San Francisco and also to General Shaf- ter's headquarters to send a tracer after it. One theory advanced at the War De- partment was that the document had been lost in the handling of the mail at San Francisco. St anens OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Cornerstone of Oakland Postoffice to Be Laid With Masonic Ceremonies WASHINGTON, May 2.—Thomas J. Andrews has been commissioned Postmas- ter at Oysterville, Wash. Upon nomination of Senator Perkins, William G. Palmanteer, vice president and manager of the Central National Bank of Oakland, Cal., has been appointed disbursing agent of funds appropriated for the censtruction of the postoffice building at land. At the request of Senator Perkins the Treasury Department has granted per- mission to have the cornerstone of the Oakland postoffice building lald with Ma- sonic ceremonies. Hanna Makes a Coal Deal. TOLEDO, Ohio, May 25.—-M. A. Hanna & Co. have secured optlons on almost the entire Massillon coal district. The output of the properties included in the deal amounts to over 1,000,000 tons per year. As the land is largely upon the Wheeling Railroad it is thought that the deal is part of the one by which George J. Gould secured control of the Wheeling. This feature of it is given credence on account of a conference between Joseph Ramsay Jr. and representatives of the Hanna Coal Company at Cleveland yesterday. say, it is sald, represenied the Goulds in the regotiations and authorized the clos- ing of some of the options. ——— Masked Men Shoot an Officer. SALT LAKE, Utah, May 2.—A special to the Deseret News from Brigham City, Utah, says that Deputy Sheriff Frank Thompson was shot and probably fatally wounded last night by two masked men who stopped him in front of his house. Thompson was commanded to throw up his hands and as he did so was shot twice in the body. Thompson returned the fire without effect and the men escaped in the darkness. Posses are hunting the country for the would-be murderers, but there seems little likelihood of their capture. ——— Senators Are Granted Mileage. ‘WASHINGTON, May 25.—The Comptrol- ler of the Treasury has declded that United States Senators Bate and Tillman, hav- ing been summoned to this city as wit- nesses on behalf the United States in the case of the United States against Cul- len, are entitled to the usual mileage and witness fees provided by law, and that the law as to clerks and officers of the United s:a.te.,hv.vllluch lpx—t?evm?lu t! 3: lnfl-uah cases t no allowe eage, Horapply to United States Senstas. “°°° Lynched for Shooting an Officer. ‘WICHITA, Kans.,, May 25.—A special to the Eagle says that Bill Campbell, a ne- gro, was lynched at Pond Creek, Okla- homa, at 10 o'clcck to-night by a mob of 400 persons, who broke down the jail, took him to the scene of his crlm_lghn.n hanged him to a telegraph pole. e crime for which Campbell was hanged was the fatal shooting of Deputy Sheriff George Smith through the head while the latter was trying to arrest him.

To Prove what Swamp-Root will do for YOU, Every Reader of ‘“The Call’”” May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail. It used to be gonsidered that only url- nary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood —tMat is their work. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, you can understard how quickly your entire body is affected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or “feel badly,” begin tAklng‘the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health.

Mr. Robert Berner, 14 West 17th St., New York City, writes: I had been suffering severely from kidney trouble. All symptoms were on hand; my former strength and power had left me; I could hardly drag myself along. Even my mental capacity was giving out, and often T wished to die. It was then I saw an ' advertisement of yours in a New York paper, but would not have paid any attention to it had it not promised a sworn guarantee with every bottle of your medicine, asserting that your Swamp-Root is purely vegetable, and does not contain any harmful drugs. I am seventy years and four months old, and with & good consclence I éan recommend Swamp-Root to all sufferers from kidney troubles. Four members of my family have been using Swamp-Root for four “different kidney diseases, with the same £o0d results.” Truly yours, ROBERT BERNER. Weak and unhealthy kidneys, are re- gponsible for many kinds of disehses, and if permitted to contjnue much suffering with fatal results are sure to follow.
