Rioters Wave Incendiary Flags in Face of His Majesty. BRUSSELS, April 9.—King Leopold was mobbed by Socialists this afternoon on his arrival here from Blarritz. The meet- g between the Soclalists and the King was quite accidental, but it was none the le: unpleasant for his Majesty, whose automcbile was surrounded by excited So- cialists, who shouted, “Long live the republic,” “‘Long live universal suffrage,’” and waved red nags in the King’'s face. The Socialists had collected at the rail- road station to bid fareweli to the mem- bers of 2 delegaton of Spanish repubiucan deputies who had attended the Socialist gatherings here, and who had paruci- pated 1n last mgnt's aemonstration. “Lhe police this mormng informed the Span- iards that they must leave Brusseis forth- with, and the delegates were escorted to the station by a large gathering of So- cialists bearing red flugs. The King hap- pened to arrive at tne same time and had difficuity in getting his automoblie out of the crowd, but he finally found an opening and passed his pursueps. A thousand Socialists to-night attended a meeting at the Maison du Peuple and afterward marched to Sentin street, where they stoned, the house of a Cath- olic deputy. The police charged the riot- ers with drawn swords. Several of the latter were severely injured and twenty Wwere arrested. The smashing of windows, revolver fir- ing and other disorders _continued threughout the evening. A crowd of riot- ers marching toward the suburb of Schaerbeek drove three policemen into cafe. The rioters looted this cafe and wounded all three of the policemen by revclver shots. Reinforcements of gen- darmes have been sent to Schaerbeek. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M. Furnemont, Soclalist, gave notice of his intention to intergellate the Government on what he termed a ‘“gross breach of in- ternational hospitality” in expelling the Spanish deputies. The Minister of War has ordered the mlilitia reserves of eighteen regiments to be in readiness to rejoin the colors, and gendarmes of all the divisions are held in instant readiness to march wherever re- quired. LIEGE, Belgium, April &.—A procession of 1500 persons met the delegation of Spanish Republican deputies who were expelled from Brussels, when they arrived at the railroad station here.

O R e FRANCE VERY WROTH AT THE KING OF SIAM Ruler Is Caught Trying to Levy a Tax on the Cambodian Islanders. PARIS, April 10.—The Eciair this morn- ing says that it has heard that about a month ago the King of Siam, under the pretext of a pleasure cruise, tried to levy a tax on the inhabitants of the Cambodian Islands, where his agents have been guilty of other incorrect acts. The French Min- ister at Bangkok, the capital of Siam, having heard of the King's efforts, sent the French gunboat Comete after the royal flotilla. This put an end to the King's enterprises. It appears, continues the Eclair, that the Siamese Government has also pre- vented the sale of an estate at Bangkok which the French Minister wished to purchase for a legation. The King of Siam is believed to be acting under Brit- ish influence. Cambodia is a French pro- tectorate and borders Siam on the east.

Wash- | Angeles, | Bishop, | \ MAY BE ASKED Danish Upper House Dis- cusses the Sale of Islands. Plebiscite in tho West Indies Is Not Now Recom- . mended. COPENHAGEN, April 9.—The Lands- thing (cr upper house) of the Danisly Parliament concluded its secret debate on the treaty providing for the sale ‘of the Danish West Indian Islands to the United States. A report will be pre- sented to Parliament in open session at an early date. The Landsthing majority report, which was signed by thirty-five members, rec- ommends the ratification ef the treaty after-a secret vote by electors who are qualified to vote for members of the Colonial Council of the Danish West Indies. These electors are holders of property worth 2000 kroner and upward. The plebiscite heretofore demanded in- volved the entire population, including the negroes, so that the proposals are much modified. Twenty-two supporters.of the Govern- ment signed the minority report, which is in tavor of the ratncation of the treaty without a plebiscite. The inde- pendent group, aggregating eight mem- bers, signed a third report, advocating the ratincation of the treaty with a sub- feruem plebiscite of the entire popula- on. The Landsthing will vote on the report in open session next week, when the question will be returned to the Folke thing (or lower house), al ready ratified the treaty without provid- ing for a plebiscite. A conference com- mittee will then be appointed, and it is thought possible that this will eventually resuit in the adoption of the report sub- mitted by the eight independents. To-day's session of the Landsthing was very exciting. The opposition moved to rejéct the treaty outright, but the mo- tion was lost by 28 to 35. The majority report is understood to be couched in ex- treme terms, for the purpose of exact- ing some concessions on the part of the Folkething. The United States Minlster to Denmark, Swenson, ignores the .com- munications which Captain Christmas has addressed to him, denying the alleged bribery of Congressmen. Swenson declines to become involved in the Christmas-Gron quarrel. The Min- ister's name has never been connected with the scandals and it is asserted that Christmas is now trying to secure Swen- son’s influence in order to help himself out of a.predicament. ST. THOMAS, D. W. L, April 9.—The St. Thomas Bulletin, in its comments on the proposed blebiscite of the Danish West Indies, says: . “It is simply intended to let the island- ers share the responsibility. They cannot undo what has been done, hence it only signifies further delay, which nobody wants, The people have had enough of the enormously harmful and demoraliz- ing effects of the question. Therefore, they all wish to have it settled forever. The Ligh contractors having agreed on the matter, let the executive end the in- tolerable situation.” | PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SACRAMENTO VALLEY Scuthern Pacific Officials Counsel With the Capital City Cham- ber of Commerce.

A B ADMITS SHE POISONED AND ROBBED A WOMAN \ / Montana Woman Makes Confession and the Police Expect More Startling Disclosures. BUTTE, Mont., April 9.—Mrs. Minnie Grady, charged with drugging Mrs. Emma Proulx, a rich widow, robbing her of her diamonds and leaving her to die by the roadside in the country, has made a full statement and confession to Chief of Police Reynolds, admitting all that Is charged. She said it was her intention to give Mrs. Proulx enough poison to kill her and that after taking her diamonds, while she was unconscious and in con- vulsions, she left Mrs. Proulx in the buggy alone and walked back to the city. Vhen charged with having caused the death of her husband and fifteen-year-old son about a year ago she exhibited no emotion, but denied that she did. She sald two physicians had performed an autopsy on her husband and determined that his sudden death was from natural causes, but the two doctors deny it. The police and County Attorney. have decided to have the bodies exhumed and ex- amined. It develops that Mrs. Grady had the lives of both insured and collected $5000 insurance. She has also insured the lives of three other small children in her own favor. The police are expecting some startling disclosures and believe that Mrs, Grady will make further confession. —— YOUNG GIRL STABBED AND BEATEN TO DEATH Brutal Murder is Committed in Detroit by a Man Who Escapes. DETROIT, Aprfl 9.—Just before mid- night the most brutal murder of recent years in this city was committed on Thirteenth street, between Antoinette and McGraw streets. A young girl who has not yet been indentified was stabbed and beaten to death. Her throat was cut from ear to ear, a knife was thrust into her brain behind the ear and a dent in her forehead showed that she had been clubbed. A resident of the neighborhood, Harry Jewell, heard -cries and screams and looking out saw a man striking a girl down. After felling her and running away a short distance Jewell says the a gallant turned again and renewed his at- tack on her prostrate body. Jewell notj- fled the police, who found the girl dead. She was apparently a working girl. Sev- eral people residing in the vicinity of the murcPer ‘were taken to the © by the police, but none of them uld identify the girl. No trace of her murderer has been found. R ey Cornish Elected a Director. NEW YORK, April 9 —The annual meeting of the Southern Pacific Company was held here to-day.

Creditors of Oakland Cafe Are Now Looking for George Morehead. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 9. Accused of robbing a widow of her late husband's small estate, charged with swindling many merchants of Oakland and culminating his misdeeds by defraud- ing a money lender, George Morehead, one of the proprietors of the Oakland Cafe, at Broadway and Eleventh stresl, is a fugitive. Left behind is Mrs. Millie Ennis, relict of William C. Ennis, & fireman who lost his life last August while fighting flames in a North Oakland cottage. All Ennis had for his wife and children was a $2000 insurance poliecy in the Ancient Order of United Workmen. Of that money 31900 was imtrusted to Morehead by the widow to invest in the restaurant business. It was disclosed to-day that he had fled and had made rapid use of his time during the few montns the partnership has existed. The creditorsy headed by the Theodore Gier Company, the Buffalo Brewery and Goldberg, Bowen & Co. have piaced their affairs in the hands of Attorney Max Marcuse. Mrs. Ennis has glven over the restaurant to them. On Monday Morehead gave a chattel mortgage on the restaurant to P. Bakar, Sixth-street butcher, who loaned him $400. That was the last seen of the missing restaurateur. It was from explanations made by Mrs. Ennis that the creditors discovered the last transaction. The widow first learned that matters were not right last week, when Move- head was in San Francisco, claiming he was ill. Bills that Mrs. Ennis supposcd had been pald wers presented. When Morehead returned he was asked for ex- planations. He promised to rectify mat- ters, and securea from Mrs. Ennis a olll of sale of her half interest in the restaur- ant. She was to receive $300 at once of thé money she had invested. Monday came, but Morehead had vanished. The widow explained to-day that she | haa trusted Moreh=2ad because of his | long experience in the restaurant busi- ness. 1t was her capital that was to be used in refitting the place, which was formerly the hiladelphia Restaurant, one of Oakland’s old-time eating-houses. But the returns show that Morehead used his credit to the extent of $1300 or 5140, and, it is charged, did not put all i of the widow’s gold into the business. _ It was upon her bill of sale that More- head m;gnmted the chattel mortgage. Mrs. Ennis has placed her affairs in the hands of Attorney George Samuels. The creditors have called a meeting to decide what shall be done with the res- taurant, which has been doing a good business. Morehead was for five years head steward at the Palace Bakery, and only recently retired as president of the Cocks’ and Waliters’ Union of this city. ‘‘As soon as he can be found, Morehead will be arrested,” sald Attorney Marcuse.

An enthusiastic preliminary meeting of the membpers of the Republican Primary League was held last night in the league's new headquarters, at 18 Geary street. The meeting was called for the purpose of outlining a plan of action for the approaching campaign, to get the members into line and to arouse their interest in securing clean primaries. Every district in the city was represent- ed at the meeting and the greatest in- terest was displayed. In regard to the convention at San Jose, it was decided that the league should be represented by a full delega- tion of 832 delegates and alternates. A train of ten cars will be secured and the delégation will be headed by a band. When the train arrives in Sam Jose Mon- day forenoon, the delegates from this city will be met at the &tation by another band and a grand parade wiil be held through the streets of the Garden City. Each of the delegates will wear a badge showing that he is a representative of the Republican Primary League of this city. As to the future policy that the league shall pursue, it was decided not to adopt any iron-clad rules, but to leave the league in a position to support the anti- boss policy which will appear best calcu- lated to secure clean and honest govern- ment for the city and State. The league further decided not to pledge its support to any candidate and to send an un- pledged anti-boss delegation to the Re- publican convention at Sacramento. One of the most important steps taken at the meeting was the appointment of a central committee of 180 members, ten being selected from each district. This committee is to act in conjunction with the board of directors of the Primary League. It is expected that by having a large committee and allowing each dis- trict representation the wilk of the eople will be better served and the wel- are of the city at large will bemore likely to be Kept in view. There were two vacancies on the board of directors, caused by the resignation of Mayor Schmitz and Grove Ayres previous to the last municipal election. Abe Ruef an- nounced that Frank Schmitz, brother of he Mayor, had en selected to fill the position of his ‘relative on the board, while Major Hugh Sime had been chosen to succeed Mr. Ayres. A resolution was unanimously adopted lwlth the greatest enthusiasm commend- ng the work performed by Congressman Julius Kahn in securing the passage of the Chinese exclusion act in the House of Representatives. The league instruct- ed its secretary to telegraph its congrat- ulations to the California Congressman. The members declared themselves as be- ing emphatically anti-Chinese. It was the sense of the meeting that the members of the league should at once commence actlve campaigning and the work of gathering into line all the Re- publicané who are opposed to boss rule and machine politics. It was decided to inaugurate this work with a grand house- warmlng at the league's new headquar- ters at 16 Geary street on next Saturday night. Good speakers will be secured for the occasion. Refreshments will be served and a good, old-fashioned Republican ral- 1y will be held. All the members of the league are expected to attend and to bring’ their friends. The league has se- cured very commodious headquarters. L. E. Savage has been elected as secretary, and will be on hand with the membership | roll to record the names of new members. After the business of the evening had been transacted speeches on the weélfare of the league and the best means of se- curing a triumph of pure politics in the coming campaign were made. Remarks were made by J. G. Boyne, V! T. Pease, Gustav Schnee, H. C. Langrehr, John Mc- Glynn, J. B. Sykes, John W. Rogers, Cap- lafil‘n!- W. Lees, Colonel R. B. Treat, Em- met Barrett. Thomas Duff, Samuel Strauss, 8. Bloom, A. Ruef and Thomas A. Woodward. Opposed to All Bosses. All_the Reépublican bosses, backed by the Gage administration, and an army of Democratic rounders were lined up at the last primary election to defeat the delegates nominated by the Republican Primary League. In the face of this combined opposition the league carried several districts and made a close fight in many other districts. If the Republi- can citizens had been permitted to set- tle the contest among themselves the league delegates would have triumphed in at least fourteen of the eighteen As- sembly districts, Members of the Repub- lican Primary League enter the guberna- torial campaign with renewed strength and confidence. It is weil understood at the outset that Democrats propose to vote for Republican delegates at the primaries next August, and they promise now to vote the Gage ticket, hoping to gain the advantage of a weak adversary at the general election in November. The Dem- ocrats are getting apprehensive that Gage will lose “the nomination, and that the: will be forced to meet a United Republi- can party at the polls in Novémber. ‘Will Send Good Delegates. The Republican Primary League has no candidate for Governor, but it is deter- mined to send to the State convention men representing the best citizenship of the Republican party. The league will send no trading or gurchunhle delegations to Sacramento. he sentiment of the or- ganization s against all bosses. Ex- pressions at the meeting last night con- vinced all who h the campaign dis- cussed that there would be no compro- mise or alllance with boss elements. While this large and expanding organiza- tion has no candidate for Governor, Jus- tice of the Supreme Court or for any other office, the fact is vividly recalled that Governor Gage last August joined hands with the allied bosses and Demo- cratic rounders to fight the league ticket. If any cunning political trickster should attempt to deliver a Primary League del- afuucm to the bosses or to a special can- didate of the bosses a storm of resent- ment would follow. Charles Reeves, secretary of the committee on legislation for the St. Louis ‘World's Fair, who is touring the State in the interest of the fair, has apparently caught on to the drift of political sen- timent. While in Stockton Tuesday night he remarked: “I take it that Gov- ernor Gage has few supporters in this art of the State.

Deputy United States Marshal Accidentally Spoils the Plot. John Doe, alias Mah Foo, a Chinese, was convicted by a jury yesterday in the United States District Court of the crime of aiding and abetting in the illegal land- ing of-Mah Foo, a Chinese coolie not entitled to be landed under the provi- sions of the exclusion act. The evidence was conclusive, and there was no defense. Assistant United States District Attor- ney Benjamin L. McKinlay represented the Government and T. C. West the de- fendant. The story, as told by the witnesses, was to the following effect: On the steam- ship Coptic, which arrived July 26, 1901, came a coolie named Mah Foo in transit to the City of Mexico. Customs Col- lector Stratton suspected that Mah Foo intended to subsequently cross the bor- der into the United States, and he ac- cordingly denied Mah Foo's petition to allowed to pass through this country. A writ of habeas corpus was issued Jan- uary 30 of this year, and, in pursuance of the writ, Mason S. Blackburn, Gov- ernment watchman at the Chinese de- tention shed on the Mail dock, turned over the genuine Mah Foo to Express- man Duffy to be taken to :nghotonu.pmc gallery for his portrait, thence to the office of the United States Marshal. A mere accident exposed the substitu- tion that was afterward practiced. Dep- uty United States Marshal George H. Burnham was in the photograph gallery in charge of a Chinese girl who was hav. ing-her portrait taken. He saw the real M Foo in Duffy's custody sitting for his photograph. A short time thereafter Burnham returned to the Marshal's of- fice .and saw an old, decrepid Chinaman sitting in the prisomers’ room. He was informed that this 0ld man—the John Doe of the story—was Mah Foo, and he was shown the photograph of John Doe af- fixed to the writ of habeas corpus. Both Burnham and Blackburn swore on the stand yesterday that the prisoner was not the Mah Foo who arrived on the Coptic, who was placed in charge of Duffy and who sat for his picture in the photograp)f gallery. No evidence was introduced for the de- fense. John Doe was ordered to appear on Saturday morning for sentence. GENERAL SHAFTER’S SUIT TOO0 LARGE FOR BURGLAR Thieves Steal Veteran’s Valise From Kern City Depot, but Leave Contents Behind. BAXEREFIELD, April 8 — Burgiars broke into the Southern Pacific baggage- room in Kern City last night and cut open four mail sacks and slashed the tops from a number of valises, but took away nothing of value. There were no regis- tered packages in the mail and only one letter was torn open by the thieves. This contained nothing of value. After the Owl train had passed south- ward, Baggageman A. A. Van Winkle left the baggage-room to attend to his duties in the ticket office. The electric lights in front of the building were at that time turned out and the front of the building was left in darkness. The thieves were, in consequence, able to work without much chance of detection. Entrance was effected by breaking the heavy lock from the baggage-room door with a piece of iron. One of the four heavy valises opened belonged to General Shafter, who had the north on the 8:30 o'clock . The general's baggage was over- looked by the baggageman and did not get aboard the train. In the valise was a dress suit, but it evidently did not prove a fit for any of the robbers, as it was left spread out on the ground beyond the tracks, where it had been carried with the mutilated valise. it FIHE, SEEKS GREAT FORTUNE OF A DECEASED BISHOP New Yorker wul_l;ry to Prove Re- lationship to Former Greek Catholic Prelate.

When 80 years old he dled. His will left a vast estate to his heirs, but there was nothing to tell who the heirs were or where they were located.
