The special train of the party will leave the Southern Pacific depot at Third and Townsend streets at 6:50 a. m. The itiner- ary provides for stops en route to Los Angeles at Palo Alto, San Jose, Del Monte, Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo and Sante Barbara. The special is due to ar- rive in Los Angeles at 11:30 o'clock to- night. Yesterday was a day of sightseeing, which the members of the guild from the Surny South will long remember. They visited Golden Gate Park and the ocean between the hours of 10 and 2 p. m.. After a lunch at the Cliff House the party re- | turned to the city as they went to the ocean, on special cars of the Market- street electric ystem. Barly yesterday morning James O. Rountree, secretary of the association, was advised that The Call’s efforts to ar- range for the reception of the party aboard the famous battleship Oregon were successful. The intelligence was re- ceived by the Alabamans with delight, and on every hand The Call was praised for its enterprise and kindness. The knowledge that the members would be expected aboard the ship at 4 p. m. gave | additional enjoyment to the forenoon's outing in the park. At 2 o’clock the ladies and gentlemen of the Alabama party were courteously re- ceived by the San Francisco Club, occu- pying the sixteenth and seventeenth floors of the Claus Spreckels building, and were enchanted by the fine panorama of San Francisco as viewed from the windows of the club. In order to safely and speedily convey the members of the association to the Oregon The Call engaged an ample num- ber of commodious launches and gave STORM WAECKS FARMHOLSES ST. PAUL, Minn, June 23.—Heavy storms are reported all over this section this afternoon and the property loss will run into the thousands, while a number of persons have been injured and many head of live stock Kkilled. The worst storm was that which passed through the district south of New Rich- mend, Wis. It was a tornado and did much damage to farm property, although no lives were lost. On a smaller scale it resembled the tornado which swept over and destroyed the greater portion of New Richmond two years ago. Over a dozen farmers have already re‘ported the loss of a part or all of their bulldings, windmills, livestock, machinery, etc., and the loss here will be very heavy. In some cases the buildings were crushed down and in others swept away by the wind, while flood damage was elsewhere reported. A {filnfa.ll of nearly four inches is reported ere. A tornado is also reported to have caused much loss about Starr Prairie, some distance to the north of New Rich- mond. Hector reports all a\vpa destroyed cial directions against overcrowding. he programme as devised was carried out to the letter. The guests were aboard and never did visitors derive greater en- joyment than that accorded the Ala- bamans who inspected the Oregon. Lieu- tenant N. R. Lee received the visitors. Every one of the party was introduced by Mr. Rountree. The officers and sailors of ‘the battleship were attentive and courteous, replying kindly to all requests for information. So highly pleased were Ihc Alzbamans that the visit was pro- onged. Before the time fixed for guing ashore Mr. Rountree assembled the members of | the association aft and asked Major G. A. Joiner of Talladega to make a few re- marks. The major responded, thanking the oificers of the ship for their courtesy. He spoke of the loyalty of the whole country to the flag and the pride which the people of Alabama felt in the achievement of the Oregon. He compli- | mented The Call for the enterprise and courtesy in making it possible for the party to see the ship under such faver- able auspices. Lieutenant Commander Bostwick re- sponded on behalf of the officers and crew of the Oregon to the sentiments of patriotism expressed. He was delighted to be assured that the people of all tre States were proud cf the Oregon. Jvdge S. L. Fuller of Cullman, Ala., | then performed the pleasant duty of pre- senting to Mr. Rountree a diamond pin. The gift, from the Alabama Press Asso- clation, was designed to express in_some degree the appreciation of Mr. Roun- tree's efforts to render the outing agree- able to all his fellow travelers. Mr. Rountree, in accepting the gift, re- marked that the greatest pleasure that he had derived in the journey was the as- surances that he had contributed to the comfort and happiness of his compan- ions ¢n the trip. The visitors came ashore at 6 o’clack. wvast evening the editors spent the hours among the strange sights and stranger six miles from there by a destructive hail storm, MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 28.—A ter- rible storm swept over Minneapolis, St. Paul and vicinity this afternoon. The storm_ broke out about 4 o'clock, being preceded by almost utter darkness. Many people went into the street and when the storm of wind and rain broke there were many injured. Polly Bennett was struck by a live electric wire and killed. The frame building occupied by the Home Laundry was wrecked. The storm level- ed part of the canvas inclosure of the Pawnee Bill Wild West Show and several persons were injured there. Omne of the grain tanks being bullt by the Pioneer Steel Elevator Company in Southeast Minneapolis was blown down. The work- men barely escaped. Newspaper Train From Buffalo.

To them China- town was a place absolutely new and un- expected, and in every shop and every hole and corner they found something to wonder at. One hundred or more, under the guid- ance of policemen, detectives and China- town guides, strolled through the streets and places of interest for two hours and a half. The party split up into small squads, each one with a guide, and in that way the district was ‘‘done” thor- oughly and without loss of time. The usual places were visited, the opium jcints, the josshouses, where the visitors burned punks to their ancestors and coveted the tapestries and antique brass jars and ornaments; the theaters, where blood-curdling Chinese drama was running at high pressure; the restaurants, where some of the bolder ones tried a few Chinese dainties that looked less deadly than others; the dark alleys, whos rec- ords are written in blood: the merchants’ clubs, the highbinder meeting places, the gambling dens, the slave quarters and the shops. It was in the shops that most of the time was spent, for in them the visito found the best evidences of the peculiari- ties of the race that was so new to them. It was an interesting experience for them all, and will be remembered as one of the features of the trip across the con- tinent—that bit of Asia, lying right in the heart of a city that in all else is so truly American. —_—— ‘Will See Prune Orchards.

HERALDG TELL OF CORONATION Ruler of England Will Be Crowned King Next June. Officials in Quaint Costume Read Proclamation in London. Lo, Yot LONDON, June 28.—The royal procla- mation announcing that the coronafion of King Edward is to take place in June next, the exact date not yet being deter- mined upon, was read this morning at St. James Palace, Temple Bar and the Royal Exchange, with all th€“quaint, medieval scenes which marked the occasion of the proclaiming of the accession of the King. To-day’s ceremonial was unheralded, but crowds quickly gathered. The ceremony began at St. James, where from the purple-graped balcony of_the palace the Norroy King-at-Arms (Sir Wil- }liam Henry Weldon), in a brilliant uni- form, accompanied by the heralds and pursuivants, in gorgeous tabards, and nu- merous state offielals, read the proclama- on. At the appointed hour four state trump- eters, lavishly adorned in gold embroid- ered tunics, appeared in front on the bal- cony. By their side stood the Norroy King- at-Arms, flanked by two royal macers, bearing gold maces, and surronded by the blue mantle (Gordon Ambrose de Lisle Leo), the rouge dragon (Everard Green), the Somerset herald (Henry Farnham Burke), the York herald (Alfred Scott- Gatty), and the Windsor herald (Willlam Alexander Lindsay), all in their full offi- cial regalia, and the Earl Marshal (the Duke of Norfolk), the Lord Steward (the Earl of Pembroke), the Lord Chamber- lain (the Earl of Clarendon), and others. The trumpeters sounded a protracted fanfare, and then the Norroy King-at- Arms bared his head and read the procla- mation in a clear voice, which must have been audible to the royal party, oceupy- ing a stand on the grounds of Marl- borough House, facing the balcony of the palace. King Edward wore an admiral's umform. Queen Alexandra and the oth- ers of the royal party watched the cere- mony with the greatest interest, the King u.lslng field glasses to obtain a clearer view. As the Norroy King-at-Arms concluded with the words, “God save the King.' the trumpeters again sounded a fanfare, the King standing at the salute. A pro- cession was then formed, led by a de- tathment of the Horse Guards, five royal carriages containing the heralds, pursui- vants and other officials, proceeded to Temple Bar and the Royal Exchange, | where the formalities, less picturesque, perhaps, were repeated.

Several attempts were made by the oppo- sition and Socialists to amend the bill, but the Chamber in every case supported | the Ministry. The Abbe Gayraud (Catho- lic) sald the law would remain a stigma of shame and cpprobrium on the Govern- ment. The abbe was called to order. Count Albert de Mun (Seine-et-Marne) de- clared the bill to be the beginning of a war against Catholicism. M. Ribot (Pas de Calals) said he/ would not support the bill because it was in- spired by a policy of hatred. M. Waldeck- | Rousseau, replying, said the law would be | applied vigorously, but not in a spirit of | persecution. | ~ The vote on the bill was greeted by pro- | longed Leftist applause and _shouts of “Vive la republique!” and “Vive Wal- | deck-Rousseau!” .

Although the accounts showed that the unsecured debts amounted to £30,710, the trustees submitted that this sum could be s“c_aled down to £19,714, with assets of At his final examination to-day the Duke reiterated that his fallure was due to the loss of several thousand pounds in theatrical speculations, and said he had not gambled. Miss Portia Knight, the American act- ress, who has brought suit for damages against the Duke of Manchester for breach of promise, had lawyers present at the Duke’s examination to-day, but they were not permitted to question the debtor, and consequently they were unable to obtaln information of much value to their client. BIG STORM DAMAGES THE KAISER'S YACHT Meteor Has a Hard Time on the Pas- sage From England to the Races. KIEL, June 28.—During the last few -days the yachts taking part in the regatta here have suffered from squally winds, rough water and low temperature. Prince Henry's Tilly and the yacht Odin broke their rudders and two other yachts were barely saved. Emperor Willlam's Meteor has arrived here from England. His Ma- Jjesty intends to steer the Meteor in to- day’s race from Kiel to Travemund. The Meteor was severely damaged dur- ing her passage from England. Conse- quently Emperor Willlam entered the Idu- na in the races to-day. The Iduna ar- rived at Travemund at 5 o’clock thls aft- ernoon, the winner in a fleld of thirty- three yachts. The Emperor steered the yacht himself through a rough sea. Prince Rupert of Bavaria, the Grand Duke_ of Saxe-Weimar, Count von Bulow, the Im- perial Chanceller, and other distinguished personages were on board the Iduna. The Empress followed the yachts to Trave- mund on the imperial yacht Hohenzollern. Pope Leo in Good Health.

Then he stepped to the bedroom door and said, ‘Shoot, if you wish to.’ “I saw father lying across the bed. He raised himself and fired a shot. Dr. Jes- sup staggered and then went into the room and pounded father with the pistol or his fists, I couldn’t see which. “I assisted the doctor downstairs as he staggered out of the room, and helped him out on the porch. Then I ran down the steps, screaming.” “Do ¥ think you could recognize the pistol?” inquired District Attorney Allen, showing Miss Adams the hammerless weapon that Kerns had turned over to the either that one or a pistol very * replied Miss Adams. Dr. Jessup Braved Adams. Then came a mild cross-examinatio. “What did your father say when vou got the house?” asked Attorney Church. “Who is there? ™ “Ard what did Dr. Jessup reply?” Sort You've got to stop | s " | “Jt was rather commanding, sharp and clear.” “And your father's voice?" “Was thick. but sharp. “Then what occurred.” “T asked the doctor not to go ugsta.l but he replied, ‘Oh, he will never shoot. Miss Adams was dismisscd from the stand to be followed by Frank E. Arm- strong, who explained that, at request of his brother John, he had got the pistol from his brother’s residence, where it had been taken, and turned it over to the Marshal. Church made a motion for Adams’_discharge, claiming that the evi- dence showed his client had acted in self | defense. He argued that the law permit- ted a man to repel an assault that was about to be made upon him, and that in the present case the act was to be com- mitted in Adams' house and in his own slecping apartment. “The law gave him the right to defend his home and himself,” said Church. “If the appearances were such as to justify Adams in the thought that he was to have | bodily injury inflicted upon him, the law of this State allows him to take the life of his assailant. The testimony of Miss ‘Adams, the principal witness in this case. shows that Jessup took his coat off and ! rushed toward the room.” District Attorney Allen combated that | view, declaring that the testimony showed | that Dr. Jessup had stood in the doorway | of Adams’ bedroom, without making a | demonstration, and that Adams’ shot was wanton and unprovoked. In his decision, Justice Edgar said: “I | do not belleve for a moment that the de- fendant could be held on a charge of mur- der. The only question is, whether he should be held for manslaughter or | whether he should be discharged, the shooting being deemed a justifiable homi- | cide. The motion to dismiss s denied. The matter should go before a jury. If the defendant, as a reasonable man, be- | lieved he was in danger of his life, or in | danger of great bodily harm, I would see another aspect to this case; but I hardly think the defendant was in such dan- | ger.” ey f,r\;m pP- Standard Shirts.
