MONTREATY, Sept. 15.—The Duke and | Duchess of Cornwall and York journeyed | from Quebec to Montreal to-day and were | greeted with another affectionate demon- | stration from the people of Canada. They | Separted from Quebec at 9:30 o'clock in the morning and the last sound that fell | upon their ears was a cheer from the peo- | ple. They had spent the night aboard | the royal yacht Ophir and came ashnre; fiy after § o'clock.

The royal special was preceded half | an hour by another special train, which o fied Lord Minto, Governor Genera S Wilfria Laurier, Premier, and mem: bers of the Dominion Cabinet. The peo- | Die came for miles to give a cheer or wave | D'%ag at the fleeting train.

Even Mayor PrLelan talked over - the He delivered himseif of a brief come and got a wave of the How are you, Mayor?” from the returning general Handshakings and Hellos. When the time had arrived for board- ing the Grant the Slocum slipped its nos into the gangplank and blocked the way of the Markham. There was nothing for the committee to do then but scramble over the decks to the rant, which was ith much celerity and dispatch. “urzon was the first to s old comrade’'s hand. “When we os 1 was the last of the regiment to say good-by to him,” said Curzon. “You see, I was his adjutant.” After that came a deluge of handshaking and a who were forced to walt until the ral came to them. This he did later on—after all the business of customs in- spection had becn passed. The committee ds filed up the gangplank, had dshake and then looked pleasant, as the sun, which hitherto was buried in fog, broke through its dim covering. Brings Filipino Family. Some one shouted from the tug before the quarantine flag was hauled down, “Jim, how is everything?”’ The ready an- swer was, “All right—both myself and Filipino family.” And General Smith has a_Filipino family wit ily-skinned na vs, whom he has brought back for a schooling. They are streets designated for the course of the royal couple to the house of Lord Strath- cona, which had been placed at their dis- posal. The party proceeded first to a beautifu ly decorated stand in front of the sta- tion, where, under a banner inscribed, “God Prosper Our United Empire, Prefontaine read an address of w The Duke, in reply, referred to his own two previous visits to the city and that of his father, King Edward, in 1860, and ex- pressed his_thanks for the kindly recep- tion given him. At the conclusion of the address 140 veterans of the South African war were called into the stand and presented with service medals. As the Duke handed each man his medal he briefly thanked him for his patriotism and crowds behind the long lines of troops cheered wildly as the rewarded soldiers filed from the stand. At the conclusion of the ceremony at the station the royal party were escorted (o their carriages and under guard of a strong military de- tachment were driven to the home of Lord Strathcona. The progress of the royal pair through the thronged streets was a prolonged ova- tion. The municipal reception, which was planned for to-night in honor of the Duke and Duch was abandoned on ac- count of the dealh of President McKinley, but the city was brilliantly illuminated and there was a torchlight procession and a display of fireworks. As a further mark of respect to the American people in their mourning there will be no public functions to-morrow. ‘The Duke is to re- ceive a degree at McGill University and he and the Duchess will make a number of private visits. JUMPS FROM WINDOW TO ESCAPE THE MORB Itinerant Preacher, Who Is Accused of Speaking Against McKin- ley, Is Threatened. ST. PAU Sept. 18—The Rev. D. H. Dalquist to-night narrowly escaped from a mob of about 1000 people who were de- manding that he be lynched. Dalquist is alieged to have made a speech in Minne- apolis a few days ago in which he re- ferred to the assassination of President McKinley as “a noble deed.” The man is an itinerant preacher, and has been holding meetings on Payne avenue in/a district largely inhabited by Scandinavians. Many of these people had heard of the Minneapolis speech, and when he appeared at the hall to-night to preach a crowd of 1000 had assembled. As soon as he was seen a rush was made for him, and threats of hanging and other ill-treatment were heard on all sides. He had anflfclpalbd trouble, however, and a o P They had great difficulty in pr tecting him, and at last he broke awa jumped out’ of a window and ran down the street, with the mob at his heels.

As soon as he stepped aboard the tug he was pulled into the pilot box and from that time until the landing at the Mission-street wharf he was in the hands of his wife and mother. There was much to say between mother and son, yet little was uttered. It was a reunion that none on the Markham cared to disturb. At the wharf carriages were in_ waiting, and General Smith, his wife and mother on either arm and his son Cyril in front, got into an open one. They were driven to the California Hotel, followed by SCORES CASTAC Commander of Colom- bian Forces Makes Explanation. COLON, Colombia, via Galveston, Sep- tember 18.—General _Alban, the com- mander-in-chief of the Colombian forces, in an interview to-day regarding the statement which Torres Cardenas, the Foreign Secretary of Venezuela, tele- graphed from Caracas on August 17 on behalf of President Castro, said: President Castro has published, on different occasions, statements declaring that Colombia hes provoked the situation, now all but war, between the two republics. President Castro, who has several times set fire to our country and sowed the seeds of revolution, now cries to the whole world, ‘“Voila, Messieurs! It i= Colombla who desires to enter and burn my house. I have done nothing to her,.although my soldiers and my battalions entered her territory and thousands of my troops have been slain in battle while abetting her rebel cause. 1 have done nothing to her, though I gave them arms and money and newspapers in which to publish what they listed. I have done nothing to ler, ‘though it was I who sum- moned General Uribe-Uribe from the United States, expressly for an invasion of her terri- tory. ‘It is not likely that his army, consist- ing of 1500 troops, which I supplemented by men, arms and munitions of war when near the frontier and ready to penetrate into Colom- bla, met with signal defeat at the hands of forces under Rangel Garbiras. It was 1 who recently addressed the following telegram to the érnor of the State of Zubla, which, af- ter having been found in a portfolio belonging to General Socalras, who was slain at the battle of Goagfra, Colombia, i now triumphantly published. 'The telegram read: ‘General Da- vala shortly leaves with a thousand men, am- | munition, artillery and steamers destined to Rio Hacha to reinforce the expedition under General Castillo.” ™ | General Alban added: ‘“Colombia and her Government have nothing to fear from the Government of Venezuela, who are opposed to war and strongly con- demn Castro's aggressive policy.” The general asserts that the prisoners cap- tured at the battle of Goagira were all Venezuelans, who said they had been torn from their homes and forced to fight against Colombia under penalty of being lubbed to death, ‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—The Colom- bian legation officials to-night expressed | the view that the Colombian insurrection was practically. suppressed.

Judicial affairs and all litigation was so hopelessly tangled and delays were of such provok- ing insistence that we found it necessary to make a jurisprudential revolution in re- gard to procedure. ‘“American caplital is being placed in Manila and in all the islands, but the English had the lead.

Smith Meets Success in Every Under taking After Leaving This City. James Francls Smith, though full of merited honors, is yet on the early side of his prime, being In his forty-third year. His career as a lawyer in this city is well known, and every step he has taken for allies were unlikely to give further material aid. Curacao press advices to the legation allege that many of Presi- dent Castro’s supporters in the interior of Venezuela are protesting against his anti-Colombian aggressiveness. Accord- ing to the legation, the defeat of a Nica- raguan force recently will stop further hostile movements from that quarter. Members of the legation say they under- £tood that the Nicaraguan Government has given assurance to the American Minister that it will not wage war. on Colombia. - President Platz of* Ecuador, who has recently assumed office, has fre- auently pledged neutrality toward Coiom- bia. The Colombian Minister, Dr. Silva, says that reports he has just received say that the Colombian troops under arms numbered 65,000 last July, and that the force since then has been consider- ably augmented. WANTS DUTY REMOVED ON CRUDE OIL PRODUCT American Smelting and Refining Company Official cn His Way to Mexico. AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 18.—Daniel Gug- genheim of New York City, chairman of the executive board of the American Smelting and Refining Company, passed through here last night on his way to Mexico. He sald that the object of his visit to that country at this time is to urge upon the Government authorities the advisability of taking off the duty on crude oil. He said extensive experiments had been made with the Beaumont oil in the refining plant of the smelting trust at Perth _ Amboy, . J., and the results showed that the new fuel can be used successfully for smelting purposes. It is the intention of the company to substitute oil for coke for smelting pur- poses in all their smelters in Mexico if the duty on the product is removed. The oil Il also be used in the company’s smelt- ers in this country. 0dd Fellows in Indianapolis. INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 18.—The third day of the annual encampment of the Soverelgn Grand Lodge, 1. O. O.

COMPIEGNE, France, Sept. 18.—The Czar's first day on French soil passed without untoward incident, except the de- lay of a couple of hours in docking the Standart, the Russian imperial yacht, at Dunkirk. The - Presidential train, con- veying M. Loubet and the Czar and Czar- ina, with their suites, arrived at Com- piegne this evening. The utmost vigilance was exercised along the railroad track. The train dashed through a double row of bayouets and drawn sabers, as the infantry was reinforced by regiments of dragoons and hussars. In some cases a double linc of troops was on each side of the track, the first line being foot soldiers and the sec- ond line cavalry. Any outrage along the track was utterly impossible, as no une was allowed to approach it. The town of Compiegne was brilliantly illuminated, the whole route from the station to the chateau being decorated with festoons and colored lights. _The streets were clear of the pubtic, and the sidewalks - were occupied by soldiers. Bvery window, however, was filled wita spectators, who greeted' Emperor Ni las with an incessant roar of cheers. A four-horse landau with the Czarina and her ladies of honor headed the pro- cession, Emperor Nicholas and President Loubet following together. At the back of their landau sat a Presidential foot- man ‘and a scarlet-coated cossack. Can- non salutes were fired and the bands played “The Marseillaise” and the Rus- sian hymn until the chateau was reached. This beautiful structure was illuminated with lines of electric lamps. The evening An elderly woman, neatly dressed, was found "dying early yesterday morning in a clump of bushes in Golden Gate Park. A bottle marked laudanum” was found by her side. She was hurried to the Cen- tral Emergency Hospital, where she died a few hours later. - There was nothing about her person to furnish a clue to her identity. Some time after the remcval of the body to the Morgue, Julius Wolff, man ager of the California Commercial Com- pany, reécognized the deceased as hig mother, the relict of Willlam Wolft, form- erly of Cambridge, Mass. With her son she has been residing at 2068 Fell street. About five months ago her husband died, und since that time she had been griev- ing. Her advanced age, i2 years, added 10 her despondency. Leaving the house, which fronts the park, Mrs. Wolff walked a short distance and sought a secluded spot. She calm- ly prepared herself for death, and drain- ing the contents of the vial lay dowr. to die.
