L, June 15.—The pres- ence of 700 armed men sent by Governor Kimball to restore order had little influ- #nce to-day except in the central parts of this city, where the soldiers formed an in- vincible guard, and this afternoon rioting broke out ew in the suburbs and spread to the neighboring city of Central Falis. The reswu which ha @ay, was the signal for demonstrations at the pe where neither soldiers nor po- lice were stationed and the character of the attacks grew worse until the Traction Company was forced to abandon the car | service. The disorders extended over so great an srea that the troops avallable were un- eble to handle the situation, and 1t was sald that before the usual car traffic can | be resumed it will be necessary to place: the city of Central Falls and parts Cumberiand, Lincoln and North Prov @Yence under military control. To do this en increase in the number of troops will be necessary. It was demonstrated that the cars could not be operated in safety under the present condition. The tracks were obstructed and cars Avere peited with stones by the mob, not only fCentral Falls, Missiles struck many of the employes, some of whom were injured, gxd rolling stock was damaged. About 3000 persons gathered around one gar in Central Falls, and their attitude was so threatening that a machine gun wras loaded and two companies of marines wrere ordered to charge the crowd. The car proceeded, but the line was later #bandoned The marines then marched | through the city and at another point the ine gun was made ready for action that an out- mach: when it became apparent kurst was imminent.

L] R s s e ] COST OF FRIAR LANDS MAY BE TEN MILLIONS Speclal Dispatch to The Call. ROME, June 15. overnor Taft to-day visited Cardinals Ledochowski, prefect of the propaganda, and Vives. The latter sald that the Pope was highly gratified with America, and added that the per- sonality of Governor Taft, apart from his mission, had produced the deepest im- pression on the pontiff, as. also upon all who had seen him. Governor Taft after- ward called upon Cardinal Steinhuber, but the latter was out. Fear having been expressed that Amer- ica would pay for the land of the Friars with Philippirie bonds, which, it is con- sidered, would depreciate, Governor Taft explained that the bonds would be in- dorsed by the American Government, and that Washington would be ready to pay cash. Tt will be impossible to establish a price for all the land, but, roughly ay- eraged, it will be from $7,000,000 to $10,- 000,000. LONDON, June 16.—A dispatch to the Central News from Rome says it is un- derstood that, with the exception of Car- dinal Vannutelli, the members of the sub- commission of Cardinals which wiil ex- amine the propositions presented to the Vatican by W. H. Taft, Civil Governor of the Philippine Islands, in connection with ecclesiastical affairs in the archipelago, are in favor of the regulation of the church in the Philippines in the same manner ‘as obtained” when the islands were under Spanish sovereignty. In a dispatch from Rome In which the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph notes that the sub-commission of Cardi- nals which will examine the propositions presented by Governor Taft to the Vati- can included three of the leading candi- @ates for succession to the papacy, name- ly, Cardinal Rampolla, the Papal Secre- quarrel.

Sudden Shooting Wit- ! nessed by a Woman. Citizens Become Exci-| ted Over the Affair. | ! Special Dispatch to The Call, i REDDING, June 15.—A tragedy, not en- tirely unexpected by the people here, but | sensational enough in its various features | to have excited the community to an al- | | most alarming desree, and which caused | apprehension of a lynching, occurred at | half-past 10 o'clock to-night when William | | Middleton, a young carpenter, shot and killed John H. Yeakey, a prominent resi- dent of the town. | The shooting was the culmination of a | { quarrel between the two men at the home | of Miss Passie Clawson in West Red- | ding. The woman, who is about 2 years | old and has lived here for several years, was well acquainted with Yeakey and | Middleton. Both had bestowed on her | | some attention, and it is conjectured, in the lack of a definite statement by Miss | Clawsoni or Middleton as to the cause, that a quarrel over this attention | brought about the tragedy. BULLET ENDS QUARREL. Yeakey went to Miss Clawson’s house about 10 o'clock to-night and was cordial- 1y received by her. On entering the par- lor he discovered that young Middleton had preceded him in visiting, and he lost | no time in exhibiting his displeasure, He | spoke severely to Middleton, and the | young carpenter resented some of the re marks made. The woman sought to restrain the in- creasing belligerence of the two men, but | was unable to check the violence of their | tempers or the harshness of their words, | She left the room for a few minutes and | returned just in time fo see Middleton | draw a revolver and fire a bullet at | Yeakey's breast. | Yeakey fell to the floor and Middleton ! immediately left the house. Miss Claw sbn felephoned foi o physielan, but hefare | he arrived Yeakey was dead. A search of | his clothing showed that he was not | armed. | CROWD AT JAIL. | On his way to the main part of town Middleton met Deputy Sherifft F. A. J.| Eckles, to whom he explained that he had | Killed Yeakey and desired to go to the | jall. He was soon afterward placed in s& | | | cell. He maintained a resolute silence as | to the cause of the shooting. | Information of the tragedy spread | quickly and the streets were soon | thronged with persons exclted over the ! sudden and startling nature of the affair. The crowd about the jall was large | enough and rapld enough in hasty judg- | ment to have accomplished a lynching, | but when the first intense feeling sub- | ded there was no danger of law-break- | ing. Yeakey was about forty years old and leaves a wife and two children. | For many years he was a prominent merchant, but lately had been engaged in contract work. His wife is well known in Baptist Church circles. Middleton is nineteen years of age, carpenter by trade. He will not-talk to- | night of the affair, and Miss Clawson has { not sufficiently recovered her composure | to furnish an explanation. | | MRS. ROOSEVELT'S LIFE | ENDANGERED FOR A TIME Recent Illness of the President's| Wife More Serious Than | Was Reported. | NEW YORK, June 15.—The World has the following from Washington: M ! Roosevelt's recent illness was much more | serfous than was reported at the time. | Although of unusually strong physique, she succumbed suddenly on the eve of the reception to the French delegation at the Rochambeau exercises. Mrs. Roosevelt was greatly debilitated | by the trip to Charleston. Tt occurred at | a time when she was peculiarly suscep- | tible to nervous influences and her mind was constantly racked for her husband's safety. She made it a point to appear with him on all occasions in public; in- deed, he was beyond her sight for hardly a minute during the whole trip. The long receptions at which she was forced to stand and receive thousands who presented themselves broke down Mrs. Roosevelt's strength. Her guardianship of the President was purchased at great cost. While superintending preparations for the Rochambeau reception she was suddenly taken 1ll. As a result the stork has flown far away from the White House | and all of Mrs. Roosevelt's plans for the | summer have been changed. Just before she left Washington for a Jeisurely trip to Oyster Bay on the Dol- phin Mrs. Roosevelt announced her in- tention to return to Washington on July 5 and resume the hospitalities which have been so freely dispensed from the White House during the present administration. She probably will remain in Washington until after the adjournment of Congress. L e e e e S Y generally supposed that the sub-commis- sion was constituted in this manner in or- der to prevent the Philippine question be- ing used as a party cry in the next con- clave.

TRAGEDY | KING EDWARD SUFFERS FROM A SLIGHT CHILL INDUCED BY EXPOSURE Ebwams { EOMERSET Symptoms of Lum- bago Accompany Indisposition. Doctor Orders Per- fect Quiet for the Patient. ONDON, June ward was suffering to-day from a chill, which prevented him from attending the church pa- rade of the Aldershot garrison. The chill came as a result of the King's prolonged stay out of doors last night, on the occasion of the torchlight tattoo at Aldershot. The chill was a slight one, accompanied by symptoms of lumbago. The weather last night was extremely cold, and 1t ralned at intervals before the King and Queen left the brigade rec- reation ground. King Edward returned to his apartments chilled from the wonted exposure. These reports of the King's illness have naturally caused apprehension, but there is apparently no reason to expect serious sults. Sir Francis Laking, physician. in ordi- nary to the King, was summoned to Al- @ il un- ON UNCLE SAM’S SHIPS Succeas of Experiments Made by the Naval Bureau of Steam Engineering. WASHINGTON, June 15.—Naval offi- cers are watching with great Interest the progress of experiments with oil as fuel which were begun last week under the direction of the Bureau of Steam Engin- eering. On Wednesday the first of the tests was held, and met with a degree of success hardly expected. Rear Ad- miral Melville is of the opinion that a material advance has been made in oil The advantages of oil in comparison with the experiments with coal recently concluded are quite ap- parent, while the objections which have arisen, it is believed, will be offset by naval inventive genius. The experiments already held have determined the value of oil as fuel. The oil used is from .the Beaumont fields. Later on the California product will be tried. Congress has appropriated $20,000 for the experiments. TS VRS Lord Francis Hope Is to Marry.

A PR ILLNESS CAUSES ANXIETY. Feassuring Bulletin Is Believed to Be Too Optimistic. LONDON, June 16.—4 a. m.—Sir Francis Lakin, who was in attendance upon his Majesty last night, found the King to be much better. The latest expectation is that King Edward will be able to attend the review to-day King Edward's {indisposition was an- nounced too late to come generally known in London y . but, consid- éring the near approach of the coronation, it is bound to cause extreme anxfety. It is announced that the King is “run down™ to some extent as a result of his constant att ion, during the past few weeks, to numerous state duties and obligations, and, in spite of the hope expressed at Al- dershot last night that he would be able to attend the review of troops to be held there to-day, it is more than Mkely that Sir Francis Lakin will forbid his running any further risks, especlally as the wea- ther continues to be cold and rainy.

ELECTRIC BOLTS STRIKE i THREE CHICAGO CHURCHES Causes Panic in Ome Edifice Whers Sunday-School Services Are Being Held. CHICAGO, June 15.—Chicago was vis- ited by an electric storm this afternoon which wrought death, caused a panic among 100 school children and damaged much property. Thres churches were struck by electric bolts, ons of them, the Memorial German Eplscopal, being de- stroyed. Calvary Presbyterlan Church, West Congress and Forty-second streets, was struck while the Sunday school services were being held.

C., June 15—A half- million dollars in Klondike gold dust ar- rived to-night from Skagway by the steamer Dolphin. There were eight boxes of the heavy dust, all consigned to Seat- tle, principally for the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Three guafds were kept in the captain’s cabin all the way down, and the big shipment was constantly under the eye of the officer on watch. This is the biggest consignment so far this sea- son. It came up the Yukon River on the steamer Dawson. The water in the Yukon is still very low and at a standstill on account of a cold wave. The Dawson touched bottom many times between Lower Lebarge and ‘White Horse, and had much difficulty in reachins nart,
