32 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 11, 1901. SOLEMN SCENES AT GOFFIN 3IDE Remains of Late Em- press Borne at Night to Church. Court Chaplain Addresses Mourners Who Join in Silent Prayer. PSR B CRONBERG, Aug. 10.—The church bells bave been tolling throughout the day. The Emperor, Empress, Crown Prince @and other princes drove over from Hom- burg this morning and were present at the reading of prayers by the Bishop of Ripon &t the side of the coffin of the Dowager Empress. A requiem service was held in the old Catholic church. Bishop Eckerl- wing eloquently discoursed on the virtues of the deceased. All the Itallan workmen at Cronberg have been sent to Frankfort or have been ordered not to leave their residences. The military and police regulations are of the most drastic nature and the facilities of newspaper correspondents are much cur- teiled. The village is full of troops and presents a scene of great bustle. Officers and mounted orderlies and other messen- gers are hurrying to and fro, completing arrengements for the funeral. Emperor William has conferred on Pro- fessor Renvers the title of Privy Sanitary Councillor, and has also bestowed an or- der on Dr. Spielhagen, who, with Profes- sor Renvers, attended the Dowager Em- her iliness. In addition the waiting of the deceased Dow- have received Red Cross It 18 understood that Prince and Prin- cess Frederick Charles of Hesse will in- berit Friederichshof. The Princess is the youngest daughter of the deceased Dow- &ger Empress. All day long the heat was intense. From cck this afternoon carriages and | venicles of every description came stream- | ing into the fown, bringing sightseers | from Homburg, Frankfort, Nauhelm and | the ccuntry for miles around. Mingling soldiers, detectives and workmen engaged in erecting mourning masts, one found a motley gathering intent upon secking points of vantage from which to view the funeral procession. From early this morning the military held the streets and none but a most priv- ileged few were permitted along the route 1o be taken by the cortege.

Special Dispatch to The Call. .VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 10.—Bayne Reed, the superintendent of the Victoria meteor- ological office, reports that in all proba- bility news will shortly be fecelved of very serious earthquakes occurring in the Alaskan region on the morning of Friday, August 9. The seismograph, which is part of the equipment of this office, and which was installed here by Professor R. F. Stu- part in July, 1835, gives very clear detalls of these shocks and the photographic records show the disturbances to have been the heaviest registered here. From the size of the waves and their peculiar formation, it is probable that the earthquakes occurred in Alaska or some locality not far from Victoria, and the movements are very similar to those which were recorded by the seismograph on September 10, 189, and October 9, 1900, both of which earthquakes so serfously affected Skaguay. Unlike, however, the two earthquakes above referred to, which ‘commence abrugtly and with little or no warning, in this instance there were reliminary tremors and qual nearly four hours before the maximum or ex- treme severity was felt.

C., Aug. 10.—An in- sane man named Eagles set fire to the town of Armstrong early this morning. By the time the flames were got under control, at 4 o'clock, over $100,000 damage had been done. Eagles poured five gallons of ofl over a pile of boards in the street outside Gar- glll's general store and set it alight. Half an hour later two entire blocks, contain- ing most of the stores in the place, were burning. The townspeople gathered, as well as the force from the flour mills near by, and kept the fire within bounds with many buckets of water and wet blankets. Fifteen stores in all were burned and half a dozen dwelling houses, whose oc- cupants saved nothing and are now home- less. The private water system at the mills saved them from destruction, else the loss would have been twice as great. A trainload of flovr standing in front of the depot and hotci owned by the Cana- flan Pacific Railway saved these bulild- ngs. Jerome Strike Is Breaking.

The authorities have not yet found him. _ There were two prisoners, watched by three guards, in the smoker of the Oregon ‘When near Dunsmuir, as the train was running rapidly down a canyon, one of the men asked to be allowed to walk down the car.

The train was quickly stopped and it was expected the daring fellow would he found dead ‘or dving. but half an hour's search failed to reveal his whereabouts, although the spot where he had struck the ground head first was believed to have been found.

CANAIAN YAGHT FNISHES LAST The Cadillac Very Easily Defeats Invader in First Race. CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—The Cadillac, the defender for the American’s cup, this aft- erncon won the first of the international yacht races, beating the Royal Canadlan Yacht Club’s challenger Invader by eight and one-half minutes. The race was safled around a frianguar course of seven nauti- cal miles to the leg, and the first leg was exceedingly close. It had been planned the third leg would be a beat to wind- ward, but a sudden shifting of the wind soon after the start upset the calculations of the committee. The first leg, which Wwas a free reach at the start, developed into a port beat to windward, both boats having to make a short tack before turn- img the buoy. The second leg was a free run before the wind, and that leg was a fairly close-hauled reach. The Cadillac finished fully a mile ahead of the challenger. The Cadillac’s elapsed time was 2 hours 46 minutes 35 seconds. EEE——— Of Interest to People of the Coast. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—Postmasters appointed: Oregon—A. E. Johnstone.
