ADEN, Arabia, April 5—King Menelik of Abyssinia has appointed Ras Makon- nen, the famous Abyssinian general, to attend King Edward’s coronation. Ras Makonnen, who defeated the Italian troops under General Baratieri in March, 1806, at the battle of Adowa, Abyssinia, when some 000 to 10,00 of Baratleri's soldiers and camp followers were reported to have been killed, is a cousin of King Menelik »nd is the principal general and confidentia] representative of his Majesty. He is remarkable in character, in physique and in the possession of a qual- ity of courtesy which justifies his rank. e S NUMEROUS “SQUATTERS” | ON EACH GOOD CLAIM Lively Contest in Prospect Over the San Jacinto Reservation Lands. LOS ANGELES, April 5.—When the con- test for possession of public lands in the San Jacinto forest- reserve, recently opened, comes up for hearing it will be warmlyg fought. Eight men appeared at the land office during the opening and filed upon the records for sections 14 and 24, the choice land of the reserve. These are the defendants in the case, and they believe that they have first and legal | right to the land claimed. Previous to the opening a number of “sooners” en- tered upon the land and pitched their tents. At present there are several shacks and tents upon each claim of the best land, the “squatters” all claiming prece- dence over one another, as well as over the eight who filed at the land offices. Santa Fe's Convention Rates. 1.OS ANGELES, April 5.—The Santa Fe has authorized a one and a third fare rate for the convention and meetings: Cali- fornia State Medical Society at San Fran- cisco, April 15 and 17; Knights Templar and Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Ma- sons, S8an Francisco, April 14 and 19; Cali- fornia and Nevada State Grand Army of the Repubiic Encampment at Hanford, May 8 and 10; California State Sunday School Convention at Pasadena, April 15 and 17: Bakersfield Street Fair, May 3 and 10; Supreme Court Independent Order of Foresters, Los Angeles, April 29; La Fiesta de las Flores, Los Angeles, May 1, 2 and 3, and the convention of the Fed- | eration of Woman's Clubs, Los Angeles, May 1 and 8, These rates are from points in Callfornia.

WASHINGTON, April 5—Three sepa- rate minority reports on the Cuban reci- procity bill were filed to-day by Repre- sentative Robertson of Louisiana, New- lands of Nevada and Cooper of Texas, all Democrats. Robertson says in part: *“The bill if enacted into Jaw would af- ford no relief to the Cuban treasury. I believe that the benefits would go into the pockets of a few sugar planters own- ing thousands of acres of land. The 20 per cent reduction woula not go to the relief of the Cuban people, but would BO immediately and entirely to fill the al- ready overflowing coffers of the sugar re- fineries of the United States, known by the name of the sugar trust.” Robertson expresses astonishment that one of his Democratic associates (Mc- Clellan) in his report refers to the bill as an enunciation of ““Democratic doctrine of reciprocity.” Robertson adds: “It seems to me that that kind of reciprocity is absolutely impossible under a Demo- cratic tariff. Should the tariff ever be revised on the lihe and plane of the prin- ciples of the Democratic party reciprocity would be entirely unnecessary and im- possible, as the rates would not be pro- hibitive, and the extensfon of our trade would as a natural consequence flow from the imposition of such tariff rates with- out the necessity of reciprocity.”/ Newlands makes an elaborate presenta- tion, reviewing the pollilcal and commer- cial phases. In concluston he says: “The American people are becoming | tired of sentimental legislation. We have spent $300,000,000 in a war to free Cuba. We have spent $500,000.000 in attempting to carry civilization to the Philippines. It is now proposed by the sentimentalists that we should inaugurate legislation changing our finance system, not for the benefit of the American consumers, nor for the benefit of our agricultural classes, which have thus far received little of the benefit of our financial legislation, but for the purpose of diverting to the Cuban planters, in order to relieve their threat- ened economic distress, a very large amount of money. “I am willing to extend this sentimental legislation to Cuba for a reasonable period, provided it is accompanied by an invitation to Cuba to become a part of the United States. I wish to give Cuba full opportunity of deliberation, and I am willing to relieve Ler necessittes so that this deliberation shall not be dis- turbed by acute economic distress, but 1 am opposed to the legislation, unless we give Cuba clearly and unequivocally to understand that if she wishes commereial union with this country and conditions of commerce not enjoyed by other indepen- dent nations she must seek political union with us in the form of annexation as a part of the republic.” Cooper’s report is brief and expresses general opposition to the bill, —_— Triple Alliance to Be Explained. VIENNA, April 5—With a view of giv- ing fresh proof of the pacific tendency of the triple alllance the powers interested have decided to publish, after the com- pletion of the new treaty, a statement pointing out the defensive character of the alliance, which is operative only in connection with European questions. i DIVORCE DEGREE FOR MRS, BYRNE| Mining Man Does Not Oppose °Suit for Separation. Husband and Wife Stipulate as to the Custody of Their Child. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. MARYSVILLE, April 5—Mrs. Hope Ellis Byrne was this afternoon granted a | divorce from Callaghan Byrne, the well- known mining man, on the ground of de- sertion. The defendant made no contest and it is understood that there was an agreement between him and his wife that he would not oppose. her application for a separation on the ground alleged. No alimony or costs of suit were demanded. The only issue of their marriage, a child of two and a half years, was awarded to the mother, the father to have charge of the little one at stated Intervals. When the child reaches the age of 5 years both parents will beco: its custodians on equal terms, the time of their possession of the youngster to be impartially divided. Mr. Byrne will provide for the child's maintenance permanently. On the 14th of February, 1803, Hope Eilis Sherwood and Callaghan Byrne were mar- ried. The happy pair had faced matri- mony early in ’92, but a lovers' quarrel brought the engagement at that period to a sudden termination. It happened at Del Monte during the fashionable “shoot” period. Miss Ellis in those days was addicted to decollete gowns. Mr. Byrne objected to his fiancee's wearing too little dress. The couple quarreled and the betrothal was broken off. Miss Ellls went back to her home in Marysville and one day surprised her friends by announcing her marriage to Bert Sherwood, the divorced husband of beautiful Miss Blethen. The knowledge of Miss Ellis' wedding to young Sherwood was a great surprise to her many friends. She was to have been one of the bridesmaids at the wed- ding of Miss Eleanor Dimond and Paul | Jarboe, but on the very day of the wed- ding Miss Dimond received a telegram from Miss Ellis announcing her marriage to Sherwood and declaring her consequent inability to serve her friend. All through her marital troubles the young wife had the silent sympathy of Callaghan Byrne, who had long before realized that his first love was his only one. Finally, after long years of separa- tion, Byrne and Hope Ellis Sherwood met at Governor Gage’s inaugural ball. It was not long before the estranged pair were recalling old memories and the re- newal of the old ties followed easily and naturally. “On January 29, 18%, the en- gagement was announced and two weeks later, on Mardi Gras, the wedding was solemnized In the presence of but.a few intimate friends in the apartments of the bride’s father, W. T. Ellis, at the Palace Hotel. Everything pointed to a happy union. But the love that lived through years of separation could not stand the many triais of matrimony and now Byrne and the lady from Marysville are free once more to go their respective ways. Suit Against Woodmen Lodge. SAN JOSE, April 5.—An action against the Modern Woodmen of the World was begun here to-day to recover upon a ben- eficiary certificate for $2000, issued to Dr. R. H. Burke in March, 199, and made payable to his legal heirs. Dr. Burke died in October, 1801, and bequeathed all his property, including the certificate, to his wife, Alice 8. Burke. The secret order re- | fused payment on the ground that the Ii- | linois law, under which it was organized, does not recognize a will and that other heirs may claim a share. —_—— Albanians on the Warpath. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 5.—Advices received here from Uskup, European Tur- key, announce that a number of Alban- fans recently surrounded the Government offices at Ipek, took all tne officials pris- oners and then telegraphed to the Yildiz Palace here demanding the release of the Albanians who are’detained in custody at Constantinople. Two battalions of Turk- ish Infantry have been dispatched to Ipek. SR b Engine Crushes an Employe. BUTTE, Mont., April 5—A special to the Miner from Anaconda says Michael Bones, an employe of the Washoe smelt- ers, was caught between the compressed air locomotive and an iron post and so badly crushed that he died within an hour after the accident. Bones was trying to get out of the way of the englne when he | was injured. —_—— County Commissioners Removed. GUTHRIE, O.

Bashears, George Fischer and William Hinton, County Commissioners, charged with will- ful maladministration of the affairs of their office. All were removed.

Hender Cannot Deliver the Tuolumne Delegation to Governor Gage. ‘W. L. Crooks, Benicia; R. D. Robbins, Suisun; Alexander Irwin, Marysville, and Douglas S. Cone, Red Bluff, are Republi- can candidates for nomination to the of- fice of Railroad Commissioner for the First District. The candidacy of the last named 1s reported in the following dis- patch from Shasta County: “REDDING, April 4—Douglas S. Cone, farmer, stock-raiser, banker and capital- ist of Red Bluff, while in this city last evening virtually announced that he Wwould be a candidate for the nomination to the office of Railroad Commissioner at the hands of the Republicans at the State convention, Cone has long been promi- nently connected with the party in North- ern California.” The district is counted as safely Repub- lican. In 1868 E. B. Edson, the Republi- can nominee, secured 42,106 votes against 38,121 for his Democratic opponent, H. M. Larue, The appointment of Thomas Hender of onoma to the Yosemite Valley Commis- sion will not cause the delivery of the Tuolumne County delegation to Gage. Frank Street and other progressive Re- publican citizens of the county clearly comprehend the political situation. Hen- der stands well in Tuolumne County and has many friends in that region. His friends do not blame him for his loyalty to Gage. They remark: “It is all right for Tom Hender to be for Gage, but if Frank Street and other Republicans who are openly opposed to the renomination of Gage want to go to the State convention Hender cannot stop Tuolumne County from sending them there.” Street Is Opposed to Gage. Hender is vice president of the Tuol- umne Bank, an insurance agent and the proprietor of the principal saloon in So- nora. Frank Street is president of the bank and is justly rated as one of the leading men of the ceunty. He is known to be opposed to the nomination of Gage. Indications are that the Tuolumne Coun- ty delegates will stand by Uncle Jake Neff for chairman of the Republican State Convention, and Yosemite Commis- sioner Hender may feel constrained to fall into line. The boast of the bosses that they have everything fixed in Humboldt County for a Gage delegation may be premature. Local reasons may Incline the delegates to support George Knight for chairman of the convention, but the heroic attri- butes of Lieutenant Governor Neff will claim appreciation in Humboldt. The friends of Gillette and Selvage, rival can- didates for the Congressional nomination in the First District, will not care to in- cur the displeasure of the mining coun- ties by opposing Neff for chairman. The Gage vush in the Palace court de- flantly assert that the Humboldt delega- tion will take orders from J. C. Bull, and that Bull is for Gage to a finish. The counties in the First Congressional Dis- trict other than Humboldt County are Del Norte, Siskiyou, Trinity, Tehama, Shasta, Modoc, Lassen, Plumas, Sierra, Nevada, Placer, Eldorado, Amador, Cala- veras, Alpine, Mono, Mariposa and Tuolumne. Most of these counties are against, Gage, and they do not take or- ders from Bull. e ‘Will Not Stand Organization Tactics. The Republicans of California who are fighting the push machine to save the party from dishonor and disaster will not stand for organization tactics such as Herrin and Burns employed in organizing the late Republican Municipal Conven- tion in San Francisco. The Republicans favoring the nomination of a truly repre- sentative leader of the party will have a candidate for chairman of the conven- tion. That candidate is fairly named in advance of the primaries—the Hon. Jacob Hart Neff of Placer County. The Gage- lings in secret have selected George A. Knight, attorney of the State Board of Health, as their candidate for chairman, but they hesitate to come forward and name him. Their plan is to keep him in e e e e ADVERTISEMENTS.

The candidate last night attended a campfire of the Army and Navy Republi- can League at Fort Jones, Siskiyou Coun- ty, the home of Major Myers, commander in chief of the league. The following dis- patch gives an account of the demonstra- tion: “FORT JONES, April 5—Camp Myers No. 15 of the Army and Navy Republican League of the State of California mus- tered in council to-night to do homor to their comrade, the Hon. E. B. Edson, whose candidacy for the nomidation of Governor has been announced. A large number of invited guests from every sec- tion of the county was present. Com- mander in Chief Myers presided. A bean banquet and hardtack got up in true army style was heartily enjoyed. Speeches were made by comrades of the camp and others commendatory of the sterling qualification of Comrade Edson, who In a spirited speech of well chosen words con- firmed his fitness for high station. He assured the Army and Navy League if he were chosen Governor he would give to the people of the State a business ad- ministration. A committee appointed sub- mitted the following, which was unani- mously adopted: Resoived, That we heartily Indorse the work of Comrade Edson in the conduct of the re- sponsible position, which he now holds, as Rallroad Commissioner. We commend his patriotic devotion to the principles of the Re- publican party, and believing that he is emi- nently qualified to flll the position to which he aspires, the highest station within the gift of the people of this State, we therefore con- fidently commend him to all our comrades. Delegates appointed by the Union League Club of San Francisco to attend the San Jose convintion will meet at the rooms of the league, Palace Hotel, next Wednesday evening to organize and exchange views. The club has an active bona flde membership of 500 men and never falters in its devotion to Republican principles. It will be ably represented om the floor of the convention. Aspirants May Be Heard. Delegates attending the convention may have the opportunity of listening to re- marks from . the leading Republican as- pirants for the gubernatorial nomination. The constitution of the league will not permit the convention to indorse the can- didacy of any individual, but it does not follow that candidates are precluded from. attesting in the presence of the assembled delegates their allegiance to the Repub- lican faith. Let Preston, Pardee, Flint, Gage, Ed- son and Cutter go to San Jose and fell the convention what they have done for the Republican party—what rewards they have received and what they expect. In every Republican contest during the past twenty years Preston, for example, has gone to the front for the party. His friends say that he would not hesitate to go before any audience of his feliow= citizens and submit his record of devotion || fo Republican principles. A hint that Johnny Mackenzie’s claquers had been primed to whoop it up for Gage would not deter Preston from speaking. Men who have a sincere purpose to say something for the good of a cause and the intellect to express the idea in a con- vincing manner usually get a hearing ought to fiave the amplest opportunity to speak, and as the Governor of the State he should have the privilege of naming the day and hour for the delivery of his remarks. Pardee is a ready talker. Flint is a scholarly man and a good speaker. Cutter can take care of himself in amy kind of a debate. As an orator Edson is not in Samuel M. Shortridge’s class, but he has a plain way of saying what he means. ————e—— Body Under Tons of Rock.
