2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1902 DEATH RINGS DOWN CURTAIN FOR LOVABLE BILLY EMERSON Passing of Noted Minstrel Whose Name and Fame Were Familiar PRESIDENT'S HEBURE T0 OSTON, Feb. 23.—William Emer- son Richmond. or, as ‘he was familiarly known, Bflly Emer- son, the famous minstrel, died last night at Diman’s Hotel, on Elliott street, where he had lived for sev- eral months past. Death was caused by consumption. The deceased actor was 56 years of age, and a native of Belfast, Ire- land, coming to this country when a year old. His first stage appearance was in 1857 with Joe Sweeny's minstrels as a balladist and jig dancer. During the lat- ter part of his career he is said to have received the highest salary ever paid to an individual performer in minstrelsy. Billy Emerson was one of the most popular men in the theatrical business who ever visited, the Pacific coast. and many regrets were voiced at the news of his death. San Franeisco played 2 promi- nent part in his career, and some of his ‘eatest successes wére made here. He ad the old Standard Theater on Bush street in the seventies, and gathered around him a coterie of singers and comedians that for brilllancy and ability has seldom been equaled anywhere. Among_them were Billy Birch, Charlie Reed, Harry Wyatt, J. H. Frohman, the ted basso; Chauncey Oicott, T. B. Dix- , Carroll Johnson, Charley Seaman, Cogill brothers, Wilson and Cameron, and 2 host of others whose names were fa- miliar to theater-goers twenty years ago. Bijou Theater Built for Him. In 189 the Bijou Theater was built for Emerson, on the site of the present Spreckels market. SBomehow bad luck haunted the house, and it was not a financial success, despite the magic of Emerson’s name and his goodly company. One night the performance was given by candle light, because the gas bil was in arrears and the supply had been shut off. Eight years ago Emerson made his last appearance in Ban Francisco, playing at the California Theater, and his welcome PROTESTANTS OF CUBA MEET IN CONFERENCE Number of Religious Denominations in Cities Depends on Size of Population.

McLeurin Writes Out a Challenge for a Duel, but Is Induced by . a Friend to Tear It Up. SR e Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 22.—The World has the following from Washington: Presi- dent Rooseveit decided this afternoon to | recall Senator Tillman's invitation to the state banquetto Prince Henryat the White House to-morrow night. He does not be- lieve that a Senator in contempt of the Senate can fittingly attend a state ban- quet. If Tillman does not send his re grets by noon to-morrow he will be noti- fied that his invitation has been recalled. | McLaurin would be treated the same way | if he had been invited. A Senator {s authority for the story that { McLaurin last night wrote a challenge for | a duel, and wanted Senator Pritchard to Be his second and convey the challenge to Tillman. Pritchard told McLaurin he was making a fool of himself, and pre- vailed upon him to tear up the challenge. Everybody here who knows the two men says another person#l encounter is inevi- table. Both are fighters, and as soon as they meet at some place where allega- tions are made by one or the other it is expected they will come together, and fists may not be the weapons used. A blackened and bruised knuckle on Senator Tillman's left hand and a swollen lump on Senator- McLaurin's forehead above the right eéyebrow are the only visi- ble marks remaining of the first actual physical encounter that ever occurred on | the floor of the United States Senate. Tillman may be punished with expulsion from the Senate. 'There are many Repub- licans who justify McLaurin's denuncia- tion of Tillman's accusations. Tillman, | it 1s sald, believes he will escape with a suspension and probably a resolution of | censure. Wity L | ONE RESULT OF COMBAT. | South Carolina May Be Unrepre- sented for Many Days. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 23.—The topic of chief interest in Senatorial circles to-day—in fact everywhere in official ‘Washington—was the fight in the Senate yesterday between Senators Tillman and McLaurin of South Carolina. There have been a number of conferences among Sena- tors as to what should be done to preserve the dignity of the Senate and to manifest its sentiment with reference to the two Senators who violated its traditions. ‘While no plan of procedure has” been agreed upon it is learned that there will be very deliberate action, and it is said to be more than likely that not less than thirty days will elapse before the South Carolina Senators are restored to their full power as Senators, this deliberation in their case being in the nature of a pun- ishment,.since they will not be allowed to address the Senate or vote until no longer in_contempt of the Senate. During that entire time South Carolina will have no representative in the upper house, and action upon several important measures may be affected by the loss of these two votes. . Senator Burrows is chalrman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. He sald to-night that, In advance of any meeting of the committee, he could not say what would be done, but he added that the affair was of such serious import that it must receive careful consideraition. It will be a day or two before the com- mittee meets to take up the resolution re- | ferred to it by the Senate. It is understood the conferences among " NOTED AND HIGH SALARIED BLACKFACED COMEDIAN, WHO DIED SATURDAY AND WHO WILL i BERED IN THIS CITY, WHERE HE OFTEN APPEARED. - 4 | | IN BOSTON . | the Senators have shown the existence of | @ considerable sentiment that the apolo- | sies made by the South Carolina Senators | are not deemed sufficient, and that the | committee will require other and more | | | BE WELL REMEM- ample apologies to be submitted to it in| writing, with the assurance that such | attested the high esteem in which he was held. Emerson made a large amount of money during his stage career and commanded the highest salary of any minstrel man in the business, but he died in poverty. He was lavish in the expenditure of his money, and generous beyond reason. His personality was charming, and theatrical men discussing his death last night re- counted many anecdotes of his lovable- ness and charity. He was a splendid mimic, and off as well as on the stage al- ways kept his auditors in a merry mood. Emerson’s Famous Songs. Among the songs which Emerson ren- dered famous were “Happy as a Big Sun- fiower.” ~“Are Ye There, Moriarity?" “Could I Only Back the Winner’ and a ecore of others whose titles would bring a smile of joyous remembrance to thea- ter-goers of a decade or two ago.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23.—Since the present storm began the rainfall in Los Angeles has been 1.60 inches. Nowhere in Southern California has there been a fall of less than one inch, and the indl- cations to-night all over this section are Bood for more rain. The storm has come in time to save the grain and hay crops, which in the entire south were threatened with destruction. In many places even the second seeding for grain, which was done after-the long dry period following the November rain, was in jeopardy. Prior to the coming of this rain orchardists generally had begun to resort to irrigation almost as generally as during the summer., The sugar bect men in the vicinity of Oxnard and Ala- mitos were exceedingly ~doubtful about planting, but this rain has stopped irri- gaticn for the time being, and has made a large planting of beets a certainty. During the past fortnight there has been some loss among cattle on tha ranges, but this rain will start feed grow- ing and no further danger from this cause is anticipated. Afier the good rains of last seascn large herds of cattle were shipped in to replace the herds shipped out during the dry seasons of the three receding years. These cattle could not e shipped ‘out this season on acoount of the quarantine against this section, and cattle men were fearful lest a dry season would reduce the herds brought in. If good rains come between now and the end of March Southern California will have the best crops in itg history. SAN DIEGO.

DVORNIKS MAKE ATTACK ON RUSSIAN STUDENTS LONDON, Feb. 24.—The St. Petersburg cerrespondent of the Dally Express savs that the police, learning that some 500 stu- dents had arranged a meeting to be held in a certain theater last Friday night, duickly filled the gallerfes of the theater with a thousand Dvorniks. After the per- formance had ended at midnight the stu- | dents remained in the pit, the Dvérniks still in the gallery. At 3 o'clock in the morning, at a given signal, the Dvorniks suédenly descended and attacked the stu- dents, beating them with clubs in a most brutal manner. The students had arms and ribs broken and some of them were killed. A large number of them have been sent to hospitals, while others have Leen imprisoned. FUGITIVE FROM ENGLAND | SURRENDERS TO POLICE NEW YORK, Feb. 23,—William Wild, a young Englishman, arrived here to-day on the Kronprinz Wilhelm, and a few hours later gave himself up to the police, saying that he had robbed the Birming- ham, England, firm of Walsh, Leavitt & Co. of jewelry valued at $5000. After the robbery he fled to London and then to' this country, When searched he had in his clothing thirteen large diamond rings, some other jewelry and 521 in Americarn money, besides a few sovereigns. He de- clared that hig lonesomeness on finding himself in America depressed him so that he thought the best thing to do was to give himself up.

He was discovered by the | porter of the house in an unconsclous | ccndition, but by the prompt attention of Dr. Bohm was resuscitated and pro- nounced out of danger after several hours’ treatment. | Although Adrian is the owner of $30,000 worth of real estate, he spent the last half deliar he had to buy a rubber tube with which to aid him in his attempt at suicide. He attached this to the gas jet in his room, put the other end in his mouth and lay down to die. He is sorr: for it now, and says that he will not renew the atemot. He aur}bules his desire to die to de- spondency over the fact that his prop~ erty is somewhat involved and he has been unable to draw any benefit from it. The most valuable piece of property owned by him is a ranch in Merced Coun- ty, estimated to be worth $20,000. His wife dled in Minnesota last fall, and as this was the homestead the management of the property was thrown into the Pro- bate Court, pending the settlement of the estate. It became necessary for Adrian to decure the services of lawyers. First he tried a Modesto attorney, who, he says, proved unsatisfactory. Then he en- gaged a local lawyer to look after his legal interests. According to Adrian, this | lawyer . took everything that hove in | sight in the way ‘of dividends as part | payment for his legal services. Satur-| day Adrian found himself without money. He says he went to the lawyer and offered him a pawn ticket for a watch on which he asked an advance sufficient to pay room rent. The lawyer took the ticket, according to Adrian’s story, redeemed the | watch and kept it, but refused to give Adrian any money. Laboring under the despondency pro- duced by this last unkindness, Adrian concluded to end his troubles by killing himself. He has many friends and ac- quaintances in this city who would have aided him if he had made known his condition, but his pride, he says, prevent- ed him asking for assistance.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 24—A tele- phone message from Hartsville, Tenn., at 1.30 o'clock this (Monday) morning says the entire south side of the businesuexot- tion of Main street has been destroyed by m-ei Loss $50,000. The fire is under con- trol. i informal salutes. The distance from Steamer to tug was too great for conver- sation, however. As the two vessels, with a flotilla of tugs and official craft, moved in past Fort Wadsworth the first of the salutes of twenty-one guns was fired. As the first gun sounded the Prince advanced to the end of the bridge of the Kronprinz Wilhelm and stood at atten- tion. “As he passed the big American fla; fioating over the fortification he raise his cap in salute, and the members of his suite did likewise. The flag at the jack- staff of the Kronprinz Wilhelm was dipped, and the German naval band ac- companying the Prince played “The Star- spangled Banner.” The guns of Fort Wadsworth were not silent before those across the Narrows at Fort Hamilton beomed out their salute. When that cere- mony was over the Kronprinz was stopped and the Nina hauled around to her port side, and Admiral Evans and his staff boarded her. The passengers were gathered on the main deck and there was a hearty cheer as the admiral came upon the gangway. Admiral Evans was escorted forward at once, and in the quarters of Captain A. Richter, master of the Kronprinz, he and the Prince met. The Prince came for- ward, and taking the hand of the naval officer, shook it warmly. “I am very glad to see you, sir,” sald the admiral. “Everybody in the United States is waiting to welcome you. It is my pleasure, sir, to formally greet you in their behal z “I thank you, sir, and through you the eople of your country,” replied the rince. “I am very glad to be here, and on this splendid day. The Emperor di- rected me to convey his compliments to you, admiral, and I do so with very great pleasure.” Admiral Evans expressed gratification at the thoughtfulness of the Emperor. He presented the members of his staff, and the Prince gave each a hearty handshake and a cordial word, The newspaper corre- spondents who are to accompany the Prince in his tour through the country were introduced by the admiral. The Prince, who was In_excellent spirits, smiled when he faced the newspaper writers, and after the formal part of the Ppresentation said he was “quite sure that their relations would be very happy.” Guns Roar Out a Welcome, After a brief halt the liner moved ahead. and at 10:50 o'clock was abreast of the speclal squadron off Tompkinsville. The Gerpan standard was run to the foretop of tRe Kronprinz, and its appearance gave the signal to the American fleet to salute. The San Francisco, Cincinnatl, Olympia and Illinols lay in perfect alignment in the order named and made an attractive picture, with their crews manning sides, turrets and tops. They raised the German naval standard and then opened blank fire. The Prince stood at attention on the bridge, and back of him were Admiral Evans’ and his staff and the numerous suite of the German visitor. The Prince and his staft were especlally interested in the Illinois and Olympia, and offered warm congratulations to the American admiral on the splendid appearance of his squadron. e Prince said that he was very anxious to visit the squadron, and that he would do that at the earliest mo- ment. As the Kronprinz cleared Tompkinsville the fleet of small craft around. her in- creased, and they kept thelr whistles sounding. A crowded ferry-boat joined the others, and in response to the cheers of the passengers the Prince went to the end of !henhfldgo and touched his cap in salute. There was a rush to the side of the ferry-boat that carried her over on a list thate looked dangerous. When the Kronprinz came abreast 6f Governor's Is- land there was another salute, and the Prince again stood at attention until the last of the twenty-one guns was fired. New York and surroundings have rare- ly shown to greater advantage than to- day in the sunlight, with the added brightness that came from the glistenin; coating of snow, and the royal visitor dls not leave the bridge during the run up the bay. He said that he was at last gratifying an old ambition in visiting New York, and asked that the points of interest be shown him and the geograph- ical bearings explained. He knew of the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge and the Battery, and had heard the fame of the tall buildings. The latter towered high in the clear light and the Prince viewed them with keen interest as the Kronprinz swung into North River. The famed sky Time that ehows 5o weri from the Jersey shore caught his attention and he watched it until a tooting tug claimed a salute. Royal Guest Boards Hohenzollern. The first of the Jarge crowds was met at the Battery, and from there on up to Rec- reation pler, where the largest crowd of all had gathered, every pier to which ad- mission was not denfed was partly filled. The number of river craft also increased, and the welcome Was a noisy one. crossing ferry-boats sounded thefr whis- tles and the ever-increasing fleet of tug- boats kept up their noise. e big liners in port were dressed, and the German col- ors were displayed at several points along the harbor shores. The Prince frequently came to the side and either saluted or waved his hand in acknoweldgmgnt. To the Americans present he expressed his . 1200 school teachers, most appreciation of the tended to him. The last greeting in the run up the river was from the imperial yacht Hohenzol- lern, which is to be the home of the Prince while in New York. She bore a full dress of flags, and her white paint with Its trimmings of gold shone in the brilliant sun. Her jackies wore new uniforms and straw hats and manned the sides, while the officers in full dress uniforms were drawn up on the deck. The Prince smiled at the sight of her, and again stepping to the end of the rail saluted. The jackies of the Hohenzollern gave a lustg cheer and the Prince smiled and saluted again. The Kronprinz was abreast of the pler at noon and was quickly warped into her berth, but there was some delay in getting a gangway arranged. There was no demonstration at Recrea~ tion pler, for the Prince was not seen by the great crowd that choked up the end of West Thirty-fourth street. Cavalry Squadron A of the National Guard of New York and a heavy force of police kept the pler clear. ! JFrince Henry disembarked at 12: o'clock, at that moment walking down the decorated gangway from the Kronprinz Wilhelm into the ‘elaborately decorated pler. He then passed through an orna- mental gangway and arch to the gang- glank of the Hohenzollern, which had | een decorated in the German colors and | was covered half its length. The Prince | Was met at the bottom of the gangplank by Admiral von Baudissin, commander of the Hohenzollern, and his officers. Mean- while the band from the Kronprinz Wil- helm was playing the German national alr. Taking_the precedence due to his rank, Prince Henry walked up the plank, | followed by the officers of the Hohenzol- | ern. Greetings From Army and Navy. The first of his callers to arrive after he had boarded the Hohenzollern was Gen- eral Brooke, U. 8. A., accompanied by | two aids. Admiral Barker and his aid, | Captain West, representing the United | States navy, followed, apd then came | the German Embassador at Washington | and his brilllantly attired suite of mili- | tary and naval attaches and secretaries | and the military attache of the German | Government at Mexico, Lieutenant Bar- | tels.

The | German Consul General at New York and his suite formed a part of the German Embassador’s party. About an hour was spent by the Prince in recelving his callers and in making an | admiral's inspection of the troops and | ' warm welcome ex- crew of the Hohenzollern. Then followed a luncheon. The Prince invited to this luncheon | those of the Americans among his callers Wwho represented the navy, and besidss | these there were at the board the mem- bers of the Prince’s suite and members ofl the German Embassy in Washington.

TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 2. —For some unknown reason two immense log booms on the Humptulips River, near Hoquiam, were blown loose by dynamite three days ago. Between twelve and fifteen millfon feet of logs were turned loose and are now floating down the river into Grays Harbor and becoming mixed with other The loss is sustained entirely by the HumptuMps Boom Company, which constructed large booms on the upper Humptulips, where logging operations are being extenstvely carried on. Two terrific explosions at the log boom were heard Thursday morning by boom tenders, who were blown from their beds some distance away by the force. When they reached the bank of the river the booms had broken loose and as the river is running very high they could do noth- ing toward stopping the loss of the logs.
