The Wong family and the Four Familles have dis- agreed on the question of punishment which should be inflicted upon some of the members of the former tong who ab- sconded with money that had been ad- vanced on condition that they go to the Alaskan fisheries. A carnival of carmine hue is likely to be the result. Aiready one of the Wong family highbinders is under arrest.

The principal feature of entertainment was an able address by Mrs. Laura Bride Powers on ‘“California Missions."” The fair speaker urged that the soclety found a club for the purpose of restor- ing and preserving the ruins of missions built by the first California Padre, Juni- pero Serra, in 1769, who was buried in San Carlos in T7ST. The only structure-in San Francisco is Dolores Mission, but others are scattered throughout the State that arc widely interesting as historical points and should be preserved. s. Powers is a Native Daughter and thoroughly at home with the subject, as she has writ- ten two books regarding the missions that have been pronounced especially clever. One appeared four vears ago and the other will be published in September. After the discussion refreshments were served. The afternoon was delightfully spent. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. L.

Army’s Commanding Officer ‘Will Fight the General Steff Bill Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Mareh 17.—Sincerely as the friends of the President and of Lieutenant General Miles regret it, there is a gulf separating the executive and the commanding general of the army as wide as that which existed during the McKin- ley administration. ‘When . President Roosevelt assumed office it was antici- pated that GeneralaMiles would receive the recognition which had not been given him by McKinley. ' The relations of the two officlals were cordial, and as a result of the President's efforts General Miles received greater consideration from the Sécretary of War. ‘This happy condition continued until the President 'directed Becretary Root to administer a snarp reprimand to General Miles for the lat- ter's Indiscreet interview on the Schley controversy. Thatreprimand caused Gen- eral Miles to immediately sever ali rela- tions with Root, ahd he has not to tnis date, placed his foot inside of the Secre- tary’s home or the Secretary’s ofmce. Severs Friendly - Relations. The final blow to’'General Miles’ friendly relations with the executive, in the opin- ion of his friends, occurred when the President officially’ condurred in the rec. thal General Miles’ plan for the pacification of the Philippines be not adopted. This contemplated the selection’of half a dozen bans and half a dozen Porto Ricans, who should accompany General Mites to the Phillppines. These men would be given an opportunity to,talk with the Fili- pinos regarding the beneficent results of American rule in their islands. After a short stay in the _archipelago General Miles proposed to induce ‘several promi- | nent Kilipinos ‘to come: to the United | States for the purpose of studying Ameri- | can institutions. This plan_"had\brougm! successful results in treating with the in- | ‘dians, and General - Miles was ‘confident | that it would be equally advantageous in | alding the settlement of the Filipino in- | surrection. It is authositatively stated that there was no_personal animesity on the part of the Presldent and Secretary Root in | disapproving General Miles’ recommenda- | tion. Before actinz Secretary Root dis- | cussed the plan with Governor Taft, and also obtained the views of Major Gen- eral Chaffce, commanding the American | forces in the Philippines. These officials | were opposed to adopting the scheme. Would Not Discredit Taft. On this indorsement, Secretary Root stated that it seemed unwise or inexpe- dient to him to inaugurate a policy so entirely different from that in force, and whieh was producing such satisfactory re- sults. To do so would be to discredit the work of Governor Taft and his associates on the Philippine Commission and of General Chaffee, who now has the mili- tary situation well in hand, and would only create the impression among Filipi- nos that the United States was display- ing weakness and vacillation to continue the war. The President concurred in the Secretary’s views, The fact that General Miles’ recom- mendation has been turned ‘down should not carry with it, the authorities state, any idea of ill-feeling against the com- manding general, and they regret that he is inclined ta view it in any such light. By his antagenism of the administra- tion, General Miles has placed himself alongside the political opponents of the dent, and this may serve to widen | the breach between the army headquar- ters and the White House. General Miles has determined to' fight the army staff bill, which Secretary Root has prepared | and which he is pushing before Congress, | This bill contemplates the abolition of | the office of commanding general because of the friction that. has always existed hgtgveen its incumbent and the Secretary of War.

Expresses Himself as Highly Pleased With His Trip to America. CHERBOURG, March 17.—The Ham- : “burg-American line steamer Deutschland. | having on board Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia and his sulte, arrived here at 6:35 | p. m. from Plymouth, England. The arrangements made by Emperor | ‘William for the reception of Prince Henry | when the latter arrives at Cuxhaven | were communicated to the Prince after | the Deutschland left Plymouth. Prince | Henry expressed himself as sgreatly | pleased therewith. He interprets the elab- | orate plans of Emperor Willlam as an expression of his Majesty's compiete sat- isfaction at the success of the Prince's | American trip. When Emperor Willlam in a letter ad- dressed to Prince Henry at Plymouth no- tifled his brother of the reception arrange- | ments at Cuxhaven his Majesty invited the Prince's entire party to dine on board the « battleship Kaiser Wilhelm II next Tuesday evening. The next day Admiral von Tirpitz and General von Plessen and the other members of Prince Henry's arty who live in Berlin will leave for heir homes. Prince Henry says he was so tired when he finally boarded the 'Deutschland at New. York that he‘slept' almost continu- ously, for forty-eight hours, except for the time when he appeared for his meals or to take short walks on the bridge. He says he never worked so hard in his life as when he -was in the United States, that he never changed his' uniform so many times a day or faced a'succession of situ- ations requiring such alertness and a cer- tain initfative on his own part.

He said his regret, if he ‘dared to say he had any. was that he could not know some of those people better. The reports that Prince Henry would | occupy a different position in Germany in | the future and live at Berlin, instead of | continuing his active sea life, are un-| founded. He will hoist his flag upon his | arrival at Kiel, and will resume the train- ing of his squadron. The Prince will take a squadron to England next June for the naval review on the oceasion of the coro- nation of King Edward. BUT FEW LIVES LOST IN THE BIG BLIZZARD Railroads Are Making Strenuous Ef- forts to Release the Snow- bound Trains. ST. PAUL, Minn., March 17.—The great blizzard which had raged over the Da- kotas and Manitoba since last Friday | sutsided last night, and to-day the weather was generally fair, but intensely cold, the thermometer ranging from 10 to | 16 below zero. With the subsidence of the | storm, the railroads are bending their | energy to again open their lines for | traffic, and immense rotary snow plows and gangs of men with pick and shovel are attacking the mountainous drifgs that block the tracks. The Great Northern has succeeded In opening its line as far west as Church’'s Ferry, N. D, and the road is expected to be clear as far as Mi- not by morning.. This will cpen an ave- nue of escape for the transcontinental | trains on that road, which have been snowbound at Minot since Friday night. If all goes well the coast train that should have arrived in St. Paul last Sat- urday morning will get here some time onyWednesday. The Northern Pacific ex- pects to have its road open again by to- morrow, and its through trains that have | been held at Mandan in the west and Fargo in the east will be re-started upon their journeys. While the reports so far have been meager and many remote points have not | been heard from, it is the general bellef | that not more than eight or ten persons | perished throughout the storm-swept re- gion. A family of four is reported to | have perished near Minot. N. D., and two | or three others are sald to have been | frozen to death at different localities. The loss to stock is hard to_estimate. A report from Dickinson, N. D. the loss at from 25 to 30 per ce rumor places it in other localities at a much higher figure.

JACK CLIFFORD DEFEATS JACK WADE AT SALT LAKE The Young Californian Lightweight Scores a Knockout in the Thir- teenth Round. SALT LAKE, March 17.—Jack Clifford, the sturdy little California lightweight, knocked out Jack Wade, the lightweight champion of Montana, in the thirteenth round of a scheduled twenty-round bout at the Salt Lake Athletic Club to-night. The blow that did the business was a right hook squarely on -the point of the chin, and Wade did not recover for some time after being dragged to his cormer. The fight was a very. fast one after the third round. For the first four rounds Wade was the aggressor, though he fought very carefully, paying a great deal of attention to Clifford’s stomach with his right. In the sixth round Clifford sent Wade to the floor with a right to the chin, and after that slowly but surely fought his way to victory. Wade went down again in the ninth and was very weak. He came up surprisingly strong for the tenth, how- ever, and had Clifford in a bad way for a moment. But Clifford evened matters up and in the twelfth Yent Wade to the floor five times. The knockout blow came about the middle of the thirteenth round during a flerce mix-up in Clifford’s corner. Decision Goes to Yanger. CHICAGO, March 17.—Clever footwork and constant holding while in trouble was all that saved Eddie Lenny of Philadel- phia from being knocked out to-night by Benny Yanger at the America Club. Yan- ger forced the fighting from the start and easily gained the decision at the end of six rounds of as fast fighting as ever was witnessed in Chicage. i o SRR On Alleged Disfranchisement.
