Interests Delegate Wilcox in His Fight for Vast Estate. —— VICTORIA, B. C,, Nov. 27.—Emil Ney, who claims to be a grandson of Napo- lecr's greatest marshal, has enlisted the aid of Delegate to Congress Robert W. Wilcox of Honolulu in . his attempt to gain possession of the fortune of the famous warrior, which new amounts to about $13,000,000. Emil Ney is the bailiff of the Grand Jury of Honolulu district. Marshal Ney, who had eleven titles of nobility, from Prince de la Moscow down through dukedoms to lesser ones, left two sons, one of whom was Emil Ney's father. This son mar- and accomplished. The son of Marshal Ney died, leaving three children, of om Emil Ney, now a resident of Honolulu, was the eldest. The latter was born in Prussia. His mother never told him the complete story of his family, and at 11 years of age he came to America. The fortune which he is now seeking | through Delegate Wilcox was that of | 3 . vhich, at his execution, was | R the French Government, | but was ordered restored during the thi ties. It came into the possession of Ma shal Ney’'s other son, known as the Prince | of Moscow, who died a bachelor in Paris | on October 13, 1882. The fortune was \heui held in trust by Count de Lavatary. Emil Ney, on hearing of the death of his uncle, began efforts to obtain the for- tune, these attempts being made through Levi P. Morton, then United States Min- ister to France. They were rewarded | only to the extent of accumulating an im- | mense amount of documentary evidence. | Ney, who was then in San Francisco, did no# at that time have money enough to effectively prosecute his claim, and when the Baldwin Hotel burned all these docu- ments were destroved. - { VESSEL BEARS ARMS FOR REVOLUTIONISTS Venezuelans Learn That Weapons and Ammunition Have Started From a British Port.

[ CLERK REREES 70 STAND THIAL Man Accused of Steal= ing State Papers Is Arraigned: NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Carl H. Hoff- mann, who was employed as a stenogra- pher by the Isthmian Canal Commission | at Washington, was arraigned before | United States Commissioner Shields to- | day, charged with stealing Government papers. He agreed to return to Washing- ton to stand trial. The charge against Hoffmann is that on November 19 he stole a copy of the final | Teport of the commission to President | Roosevelt. It was charged that Hoffmanu | offered a copy of the canal commission's report to the French Embassador and | paper. | It is understood here that when Secre- | tary Hay was informed that a State paper was being offered in_this city he reported the matter to the United States | District Attorney’s office at Washington. | An investigation was at_once begun by the Washington Police Department and | the arrest followec. The specific charge against Hoffmann is that on the 19th day of November e | stole the final report of the canal commis- Sion to President Roosevelt. When the complaint was read Hoffmann did mnot answer, but when the Commissioner | asked him if he wished 1o waive examina- tion he nodded and he consented to g0 back to Washington. . 1t is alleged that when the commission made reports Hoffmann struck them off on the typewriter. It is also alleged that papers as would buy them. He, it is al- jeged in the complaint, had two exira copies of the final report of the commis- sion. Up to the time he was taken to the Ludlow-street Jail he made no admission | and had nothing whatever to say. S ———— IS DEAD IN COLORADO | 27.—Former Gover- ASPEN, Colo., Nov. apples. He had been in good health up to the very moment of his death. It is believed that the cause of death was heart trouble. Davis Hanson Waite was horn at Jamestown, N. Y., April 9, 18%. During the early part of his life he was engaged in mercantile pursuits at Russell, Pa., and Fend du Lac and Princeton, Wis. He was a member of the Wisconsin Legisla- ture in 1857. He taught school for a time and Jater published a newspaper at Jamestown, N. Y. In 1876 he removed to Larned, Kans., where he was elected to the Legislature. He came to Colorado in law at Leadville and Aspen. He was a Republican in politics until 1892, when he was a delegate to the Popu- list convention at Omaha. He was nom- year by the People's party and was elect- ed. His administration during 1893 and 189¢ was tempestuous and eventful. Twice time to maintain order in Cripple Creek during the miners’ strike and the second time to seat his appointees on the Den- ity had been disputed by the o¢ld board and who had been forcibly excluded from Governor Waite was a candidate for re-election in 1894, but was ;19!68!2(1 by Charles A.

LONDON, Nov. 2.—Lord Brassey, speaking at the London Chamber of Com- merce this afternoon on the needs of the navy, said Great Britain had not received an adequate return, from a naval point | of view, for the amount spent in ship subsidies. In spite of the £573,000 paid to four companies since 1887 not one of the vessels thus available was fit for any- thing except scouting. He urged that hereafter the Gevernment insist that -all | reserve cruisers be built with the view of carrying a pretective belt when called on for war service, WORK SATISFIES THE TRAINMEN Employes at Pittsburg Decline to Join Switchmen, Strikers Express Confidence in Success of the Cause. PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 27.—The Rail- way Trainmen decided officlally and finally at a delegate meeting held in the Avenue Theater to-day that they would continue at work, notwithstanding the strike of the Switchmen’s Union of North America. This means that they will take out trains made up by non-union men and that the switghmen, who are mem- bers of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, will join the strike of their union. At a late hour to-night Messrs. Morris- sey and Fitzgerald are in secret confer- ence with Robert Pitcairn, general super- intendent of the Pennsylvania lines. What the subject of the conference is has not been learned as yet. The strikers continue confident of ulti- mately winning the strike, and say the action taken by the Brotherhood of Train- men will not materially affect their cause. | They say the roads are to all intents and purposes tied up, and that to-night even passenger trains are being blocked. The company officials say that what delay there may be in passenger business is caused by the unusual congested condi- m of the 10oads here and elsewhere, he conditions as found to-day are about as follows: The Baltimore and Ohio made little at- tempt to move freight locally, although several trains were made up in the Glen- weod yards and sent over the “pike.” Four crews worked until noon, when two off; The yardmasters says trains were made up in’ the yurds to-day. The Allegheny Valley road has experi- enced little if any relief and business in the yards is practically at a standstill. Only a few cars filled with perishable freight were moved. The Crescent mill at Forty-ninth street is reported partial- 1y closed down and the Carnegie, Twen- ty-ninth street and Thirty-third street mills, it is feared, will have to suspend if the Allegheny Valley fails to get supplies to them soon. The Pittsburg and Western has fared pretty well to-day. It landed in the yard at Bennett station fifteen men from Philadelphia, and three shift4 were work- ing. The officials now have hopes of breaking the strikc in a few days. They have given their old men until to-mor- row to return, and if they fail new men will be put to work at once. The Pittsburg Junction road is still tied up and nothing is being moved. TWENTY-NINE VICTIMS ON THE LIST OF DEAD University Professor Will Make Ex- amination of Boiler That Caused Detroit Disaster. = DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 21.—When the search of the ruins of the Penberthy In- jector Company’s plant, wrecked by a boiler explosion yesterday morning, was completed to-night the death list had reached a total of twenty-nine. All but two of the company’s employes have been located, and as these men worked in the front building, which was not wrecked, it is thought that they are at their homes. The men’s addresses are not on the com- pany's books, So it may be some time be- fore they are located. At 6 o'clock to- night the searchers finished the work of turni the debris. Only two bodies were found to-day, both of which were terribly mangled. The Prosecuting Attorney this afternoon began an examination into the cause of the explosion. Professor Mortimer F. Cooley of the University of Michigan, who has been asked by Prosecutor Hunt to make an expert examination of the wrecked boiler, came in from Ann Arbor this afternoon and went directly to the scene of the explosion. He inspected the exterior of the boiler, but said as yet he could venture no opinion with regard to the cause of the explosion. Professor Cooley will begin his detailed examination to-morrow. The injured at the hospitals were reported resting easily to-night, with the exception of John Klinowicz, who, it is said, will probably die before morning.

Diplomat Says His Country Is Not Seeking Any Favors, ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Wu Ting Fang; the Chinese Minister, called upon President Roosevelt to-day. In the course of the interview, which took place in the Cabinet room, the re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion act was discussed. When the Chinese Minister emerged from the White House he declined to tell a group of newspaper men whether his Government was protesting against the re-enactment of the exclusion law. “All we want,” said he, ‘is justice and fairness.” 5 As ehe was saying this the Minister was greeted by Senator Foster, of Washing- ton, who is himself very much interested in Chinese exclusion. y “Senator,” said the Minister, turning to him, “you are a fair man. Remember that justice and right have neither color nor race. We do not ask for favors, we only ask for equality.” In the course of his conversation witl the newspaper men Mr. Wu suggeste that he would be willing to meet any three of the managing editors who fa- vored exclusion and debate the question before an impartial tribunal. @ vl @ ARE MARRIED AT HIGH NOON AT ST.-LUKE’S S e As the church bells rang out the noon hour yesterday the Right Rey. Willlam Ford Nichols, Bishop of California, united Miss Laura Agnes Louisa Simpson to the Right Rev. Sidney Catlin Partridge, Bish- op of Kyato, Japan. The ceremony was the most impressive of.its kind ever per- formed in St. Luke's Church. Every seat in the sacred edifice was crowded with friends of the contracting parties and the vestibule was filled with late comers, who were unable to find seats. The altar was prettily decorated. Ever- greens and white roses were entwined with the altar rails and canopies of flowers added to the effect. Potted plants were also used to advantage in the deco- T ORSen noon the sweet strains of “The Bridal Chorus’ from ‘‘Lohengrin” stole softly over the church and as the bridal party emerged from the rector's study in the rear the gladsome song filled the edifice. The ushers led the way. They were George Hind, Henry Ohlandt, Peterson and Harold Smith. Then, came two little flower girls, Lurline Matson and Amalia Stmpson. The children looked charming in their white satin dresses and | bonnets. After them came the brides- maids, four in number. They were Miss Gertrude Palmer, Miss Jeanette Deal, Miss Bessie Wilson and Miss Bertie Bruce. They were beautifully gowned. All were attired alike in white chiffon over pink silk and carrled shower bouquets of Bridesmaid roses. Next came Miss Maud Simpson, sister of the bride and maid of honor. She was escorted by E. Frank Green, the best man. Miss Simpson looked very pretty in ! 2 gown of Nile green silk over white satin. She carried a shower bouquet of Amer- | ican Beauty roses. Bishop Fartridga followed and on_bhis arm was the mother of the bride. Last in the procession was the bride, who leaned on the arm of her father. She was handsomely gowned and made a striking picture. Miss Simpson looked lovely In a robe of white duchess satin, made with a long court trgin and covered with white mousseline de sole. The cor- sage was high, Sleeves long and the gloves were of white undressed kid. In her coiffure she wore a spray of natural orange blossoms that held in place the flowing veil of rare old duchess lace. The bride met the groom in the chancel and then the solemn ceremony commenced. _ The Rev. Burr M. Weeden, rector of the church, stood before them as they knelt at the altar rail and read the betrothal service. At the close of the reading the couple stepped within the rail before Bishop Moreland of Sacramento, who read the formal words of the marriage service. ‘When they were pronounced man and wife Bishop Nichols gave them holy com- munion. It was extremely solemn and lasted nearly half an hour. The bridal party then passed out of the edifice to the stirring strains of Men. delssohn’s ‘“Wedding March.” The bride and groom led the procession and were followed by the flower girls, maid of honor, parents of the bride, bridesmaids and ushers. - The bridal party departed in carriages for the home of the bride’s parents at 2520 Vallejo street. The home was beau- tifully decorated with cut flowers, ferns, smilax and potted~ plants. The happy couple received the congratulations of their friends beéneath a pretty bower of chains of smilax, pendant from the center of which was a basket overflowing with white chrysanthemums. There were 200 guests at the wedding breakfast.

Consul General Dickinson Strives to Raise Needed Money. Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N, W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—Negotia- tions for the liberation of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the captive missionary, have re- ceived a decided setback as a result of the refusal of the brigands holding her to accept a ransom of $65,000. On the ground that a rich country like the United States which can offer $65,000 can raise $45,000 more, the brigands have acquainted the American authorities with their purpose to hold the woman until the sum originally demanded, $110,000, has been paid them. If they persist in this determination they will hold Miss Stone indefinitely. The °officlals are confident. that no harm will befall the woman. She represents a large sum of money and the brigands will undoubtedly see that she sufrers no discomfort which would injure her health. . 2 The refusal of the brigands to accept less than $110,000 is responsible for the de- parture of Consul General Dickinsen from Sofla for Constantinople. ' A dispatch re- ceived by the State Department from Dickinson has led the authorities to the conclusion that his purpose in going to the Turkish capital is to consult with the missionaries with a view to raising more money. The authorities here do not be- lieve it will be possible to obtain further contributions by charitable people of the country. Congress will be in sessian next week and the Senators and Representa- tives friendly to missionaries will prob- ably introduce a bill appropriating $45,000 to be used with the sum now available for Miss Stone's ransom. SOFIA, Nov. 21.—The Government has forwarded to C. M. Dickinson, the Unifed States diplomatic agent here, who re- cently left this city for Constantinople, a reply to his note of November 12 concern- ing Miss Stone, the American missionary. It is merely a repetition of the official views aiready cabled repudiating the ze- sponsibility of Bulgaria and alleging that the officials had given every assistance possible in the matter. e EERSHOW’S NURSE TELLS HOW SHE HEARD OF WILL Alice Kennedy Says Jules Gamage Came and Told Her About Document. The Kershow will contest case in De- partment 9 of the Superior Court is still affording a great deal of amusement to the visitors to the court. Alice Kennedy, the colored woman who cared for Ker- show during his last illness and who gives such remarkable answers to the ques- tions asked her by the attorneys, was on the stand” again yesterday and displayed the same amount of ignorance of dates that she did in her examination the day before. All years, months and days evi- dently look alike to her, for she informed the court yesterday that she did not know the day of the week on which Good F'ri- day falls or the time in the month the Fourth of July is celebrated. She said yesterday that she was first in- formed by Jules Gamage of the fact that in the will which is now being disputed she had been left §1000. He came to her house the morning the Yale athlete died and told her that Kershow had left her that sum. He also told her to go to the office of Attorney Kowalsky and see about it. She said thaf at that time she in- formed Gamage that she would have nothing to do with that will. She said she did not want to get ‘‘mixed up with that crowd.” On being asked to explain, she said that she knew of no other will made by Max Kershow except the one | in the possession of Attorney Michaels, and that she also knew that Max Ker- show had made on provision for her in that document. She admitted, however, that Kershow had told her that he would leave her $1000. Pl s SRSENS e et e IMAYOR ASKS RECORDER GODCHAUX TO EXPLAIN Civil Service Commission Refers Charges of Dismissed Copyists to Him for Investigation. The Civil Service Commission sent a communication yesterday to the Mayor, informing him of the charges made by Mark Bartlett and Frank Urmy, dis- charged copyists in the Recorder’'s office, against Recorder Godchaux, to the effect that they had been dismissed because they had refused to contribute to God- chaux’'s campaign expenses. The com- mission contends that the copylsts em- ployed in_the office of the Recorder and the so-called county offices are subject to civil service jurisdiction, pending an ap- peal to the Supreme Court. As the com- mission is not empowered to take final action in cases of official misconduct the results of future'investigations will be referred to the Mayor, Mayor Phelan transmitted the Com- missioners’ letter to Godchaux, together with the followirng personal communica- tion: TWill you please make a statement to me, In writing, concerning the allegations made? and on Baturday, at 11:30 o'clock a. m., I would be pleased to see you in my office concerning the subject matter.

Excess of expenditures over re celpts, 3,028,727, i The Secretary says regarding the serv- ce: While the expenditures in the ordinary de- velopment and through various extensions of the service are §7,814,652 greater than for the preceding year the deflcit is $1,461,061 less. Un- der present prosperous conditions the ammual | increase of receipts is fortunately larger than | the inevitable Increase of outlay, and for sev eral years the deficit has been steadily sTowing smaller, | The rural free delivery has advanced with increased strides. Its extension during the past_vear has been nearly three times as great as the whole amount of service previously es- tablished. The number of routes in operation at the beginning of the fiscdl year was 1236 and at the close 4301. During the currant year the work will proceed still more rapidly. At the opening of December §080 routes will be | running and under present plans the number will increase by July 1, 1902, to $600. The rural population how receiving daily ser- vice is about 4,000,000 and at the end ‘of the fiscal year it will reach 5,700,000, The delivery system will then cover more than & quarter of the eligible portion of the country and at.the present rate of establishment the entire area suited ‘to the service—that. is, as estimated, 1,000,000 square miles of territory, with 21000,- % rural residents—will be brought within its scope ir: less than four years. In conclusion the report says: The fol- lowing recommendations for legislation, some of which have heretofore been made, are submitted for the consideration of Congress: That the maximum fee for fixed at 25 ingtead .of 30 cents. | That a fund be created out of the salaries | of rallway mail clerks to provide for the re- tirement of such clerks as have, after long periods of service, become incapacitated for active duty. 2 That publishers be required to make a pre- liminary separation of newspapers, under the direction of the department, as a condition under which they shall enjoy the exceedingly 1iberal rates provided for carrying second-cliss matter shrough the mails. That the interstate commerce law be amend- ed to prohibit common carriers, to wit, telegraph and express companies, or any of their em- ployes, from aiding and abetting in the n goods or lottery swindles, or any other scheme carried on partly by mail and partly by com- mon carrier and which is in violation of the postal laws. IENORE OROER 0F THE KAGER Officers Violate Dueling Rules and Annoy ‘William. money order be BERLIN, Nov. 27.—In the Reichstag to- day Herr Bassermann, National Liberal, interpellated the Government regarding the recent fatal duel at Insterburg, East Prussia, in which Lieutenant Blaskowitz was killed by -Lieutenant Hilderbrand. He asked what the Government was do- ing to prevent duels in the future. The Minister of War, General von Goss- ler, in reply said that when Lieutenant Blaskowitz offered.to apologize the coun- cil of honor ought to have arranged a cempromise. The Emperor had very care- | fully investigated the matter and had | reached the conclusion that the object and spirit of his Cabinet order concern- ing officers’ courts of honor had not been | observed. His Majesty had given a strons and definite expression of his opinion an had peremptorily commanded that full ef- fect should hereafter be given to this or- der. General von Gossler added: ““We can only be grateful to the Em- peror for having with his wonted ene: indicated the right course to be pursued. An official, like any citizen, is subject to the penal provisions of the law. The army is not the nursery of duels. In 1897 there were four duels in the army, in 1888 three, in 1899 eight, in 1900 four and in 1901 five duels. This shows that a good tone predominates among the officers. In civil- ian circles a duel is not regarded with the ess with which it is viewed 1 the. army. We must publicly recogniza the fact that officers as a rule meet in- sults with dignity and composure.” e EMPLOYS CLEVER SCHEME TO CAPTURE A .THIEF Mrs. Kirby, who keeps a lodging-house at the corner of Fourth and Howard streets, employed a very clever scheme last night in order to prevent the escape of a Japanese servant whom she sus- pected of having stolen her gold watch, together with $45 of her money. She did not dare to openly accuse the Japanese, who bears the name of uda of theft, fearing that he would take flight. So she walted until he went to- his room | and then quietly slipped up and turned the key in the door. % Knowing that the Japanese could not escape from his confinement Mrs. Kirby dispatched a messenger for Police Officer Cooney. She kegt Kamuda confined in the room until the arrival of the police- man, when the Japanese was placed un- der arrest. S S O WALTER N.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—The principal witness to-day before the Criminal Court. in which Mrs. Lola Bonine is being tried for the murder of James S. Ayers Jr., was Dr. Martin W. Glazebrook, the dep- uty coroner for the District of Columbia, whe ccnducted the autopsy on the body of Avers. The doctor described in detail the three wounds on the young man’s body, and the court crier, siripped to the waist, was used to illustrate the course of the wounds for the instruction of the jury. Dr. Glazebrook also testified that Mrs. Bonine had given him her version of the manner in which Ayers came to his death, claiming that the wounds were in- flicted while the pistol was in Ayers’ hands, and illustrating how the occurred, but he thought that it was im- possible for the wounds to have been made with the weapon in Ayers’ ' own hands. She had told him that he was at | her back and had his arms clasped about her when the shots were fired. | REGISTRAR’S DEPUTIES DRAW HIGH SALARIES Auditor Wells Recognizes Ordinance Creating New Positions for Clerks Gordan and Zemansky. Auditor Wells decided yesterday that he would audit the demands of Daniel Gor- dan and Harry Zemansky, respectively chief clerk and Deputy Registrar in the Registrar's office, whose salaries were in- creased to $130 per month by the Board of Supervisors. Several months ago the Au- ditor refused to sign the demands because he took the ground that under the char~ ter the salaries of deputies in the Reg~ istrar’s office were limited to $100 per meonth. The City Attorney, however, recently discovered another section of the charter which makes it possible for the Supervi- sors, acting on tlie recommendation of the yor, to create the two positions and fix the salaries - thereof. e ordinance on the subject was passed by the yotes of fourteen Supervisors, and the Auditor's favorable .action makes it enforceable. The salaries were raised because Gordan and Zemansky have a thorough knowl- edge of affairs in the Registrar’s office ngd act as foremen of men uader thefr charge. —_—— At the Orpheum and Fisher’s.

It has been stated on good medical au~ thority that nine-tenths of cases of deaf- nesy are caused from catarrh or from sore throat trouble. % The little tube which leads to the ear from the throat is lined with a sort of vel- vety structure called mucous membrane. This membrane is simply a continuation of the mucous membrane lining of the throat: When disease of any sort attacks the mucous membrane of the throat it is very liable to extend into the hian tube and up into the ear. The history of nearly all cases of deaf- ness is like this; a cold is contracted and other colds are taken. the W 4 condition causes to spread into the tube that leads to the ear. It seems A}tfla far fetched to say that ' t used from tarrh, but it is cona.mg.!::n g:g who w’{ad a severe catarrhal eel‘ must have noticed the was how affected while the cold lasted. ‘With catarrh sufferers this of hearing becomes orse the longer the cn';on:cbm W catarr] You can cure catarrh and deafness by use of an excellent new prepa-
