Falling Walls Wreck the Library of the Royal Palace. —_— VENICE, July 14.—The Campanile (d tached bell tower) of St. Mark's Church, ninety-eight meters high, collapsed at o'clock this morning and fell with a great crash into the piazza. The Cam- panile, which was entirely detached from the cathedral, Is now a heap of ruins. A corner of the royal palace was dam- aged. The first intimation of danger was the sudden apearance yecterday of a longi- tudinal crack in the corner of the wall facing the clock tower and the breaking of two windows. A concert which had been arranged to be held on the piazza esterday was stopped by order of the Prefect, with the object of preventing a concourse of people. The ruins are piled up to a height ot 100 feet, and the Plazza di San Marco and the adjoining squares are covered by debris and dust. Some damage was done to the San Sovino loggeta, or vestibule, on the east side of the Campanile. The Campanile stood opposite the church of the Cathedral of St. Mark’ It was founded in 888, restored in 132), provided with a marble top in 1417, and in 1557 wws crowned with the figure of an argel nea ixteen feet high. The log- getta, or vestibyle, on the east side of the Campanile, was once a rendezvous of the nobilia, and afterward a waiting room for the guards during the s ons of the Great Council. There were bronze statues of Peace, Apollo, Mercury and Pallas on the coping of the Campanille, and its fine bronze doors were much ad- mired. At the top of the tower a fire watchman with a telescope was contins ually stationed. The Campanile, in falling, carried away the San Sovino loggeta and the brary of the royal palace. Premonitory signs of the collapse allowed a partial clearance of the plazza, and there were no fatalities, but a few persons were in- jured. A little before the collapse a noise af falling stones within the bell tower warned the shopkeepers, workmen and tourists of the impending disaster and all fled for their lives, crying, “The Cam- panile is falling!” When the disaster was_comprehended Venetians were seen in the streets bemoaning the destruction of one of the cldest art treasures in the kingdom. Four of the San Sovino statues of Vene- tian nobles were demolished in the San- sovino loggeta, while a beautiful exam- ple of a Paul Veronese painting was de- stroyed in the palace. The wing of an angel from the top of the bell tower was thrown down to the front door of the ca- thedral, smashing the bando column, which was hurled thirty-five feet, just escaping the column supporting the south angel of the cathedral and thus averting a more serious disaster. The fall of the tower produced a thick red dust which spread like a hanging cloud over the city. This, with the rum- bling, volcanic-like noise, startled the inhabitants of the most remote suburbs. Thousands of soldiers and police aided in allaying the panic, It is expected that a subscription will be raised to duplicate the original tower, and the Deputies of Venice have tele- graphed to the Government at Rome for authority to establish a lottery for thse purpose of raising funds. The Municipal Council has decided_to open a preliminary fund of 500, iire (about $100,000) for the rebuilding of the Campanile and the Sansovino Loggeta. Queen Margherita and Count von Bulow, the German Imperial Chancellor, have wired to the Municipal Council expres- sions of regret at the ruin of the tower. It is said that the constant dredging at the entrance to the grand canal and at the island of Guidecca in order to permit the entrance of larger ships caused Lhe earth to slide, and that the fall of the panile may be succeeded by other llapses. e e e e e ) SANGUINES GOES BACK T0 PRISON Evidence Against Lower California Governor Heard. e ERY SAN DIEGO, July 14.—A special from late this afternoon says that the prosecution of Governor Sanguines on the charge of killing a prisoner at Ensc- nada, Sanguines, Gualajaro and a soldier were remanded to prison. They all made appeal to the Supreme Court of Decisions which it is thought will revoke the order. Sanguines had appointed as his attor- ney Public Defender Maxiano Caballero, though he is regarded as being among the enemies of Sanguines. Caballero has not accepted the appointment, and it is said be bas given no legal reason for refusing. The Mexican law compels the acceptance of such appointments when made. In or- der to evade the duty he wired a request to the Secretary of Justice at Mexico Cily for a leave of absence for two months, but as yet the request has not been granted. A petition is being circulated for signa- tures in Ensenada and vicinity to the purport that Sanguines is in popular dis- favor in the district, and it is said only the lower classesare affixing their names. At present, for lack of new evidence, the case is closed. It will be passed to (he pubiic prosecutor. The new Judge, to take the place of the one deposed, nas not yet arrived at Ensenada. STRIKERS PROPOSE TERMS. CHICAGO, July 15.—At 2 o'clock this morning a conference between the na- tiopal executive board of the Teamsters, the Team Owners’ Association, the Freight Handlers’ Union, the Chicago Federation of Labor and the Truck Team- sters’ executive committee resulted in a new proposition which will be presented to the railroad managers to-day. In the new proposition the freight handlers agree 1o accept the wage schedule as presented July 1, with the following concessions: First—Elimination of probation. Second—Stralght time for overtime for all employes who are charged for lost time. Third—Seventeen and a half cents an hour for truckmen. After the conference had adjourned the officers of the Teamsters’ Union issued a petition asking the teamsters belonging to iwo of the local unions to return to work in order to prevent the total loss of sev- eral hundred cars of fruit that is lying on the sidings. It is claimed by Driscoll of the Team- sters’ Union that eight of the railroads have agreed to the proposition that will be submitted to them to-day. President Currant of the Freight Hand- lers’ Union states that if this is a fact the strike will be settled to-day. —_————— Charles E. Richardson. HONOLULU, H. T., July 8.—Charles E. Richardson, an old-time resident of the islands, who came here from Vermont about forty years ago, died July 5 at his home in Hilo. He was about 70 years of age, and had amassed a considerable for- tune since coming to Hawail. : 4 Sir Joseph Ignatius Little. ST. JOHNS, N. F., July 14.—Sir Joseph Ignatius Little, Chief Justice and Deputy Governor of Newfoundland, died to-day at the age of 67. SERIOUS DAMAGE T0 THE ILLINDRS Battleship Goes Aground in the Harbor of Christiania. HERADAETIEY, Hole Is Stove in Her Bottom and Two Small Com- partments Fill. IR CHRISTIANTA, Norway, July 14.—The United States battleship Illinois, flagship of Rear Admiral Crowninshield, and the United States cruiser Chicago have ar- rived heére. ¥ ‘While the Illinois was standing into the harbor leading the squadron her steering gear failed and her helm jammed hard to the starboard, with the ship headed straight for the shore. Both anchors were let go and her cngines were backed promptly, but the port anchor chain part- ed. The ship struck an obstruction and a hole was punched in her bottom. Two small compartments filled with watel. The crew was called to quarters and the water-tight doors were closed. The rest of the squadron stood in to the inner har- bor. The Illinois was eventually backed off and anchored safely. Rear Admiral Crowninshield probably will shift his flag to the Chicago, and the remainder of the proposed Baltic cruise may be abandoned. KID CARTER KNOCKS OUT AL WEINIG AT FORT ERIE Ex-Bicyclist Is Badly Punished but Manages to Last Twelve Rounds. FORT ERIE, July 14.—Kid Carter knocked out Al Weinig in the twelfth round. The fight was scheduled to go iwenty rounds, and it was one of the hardest fought battles ever seen here. Weinig worried Carter a little in the first five rounds with hard jabs, but after that the Kid made a_ veritable chopping- block of the ex-bicyclist. Carter punished Weinig terribly and in the tenth had him almost out, but Weinig managed to finisn the round. Weinig took some hard pun- ishment in the eleventh, Carter punch- ing him all over the ring. Blood was flow- ing from Welnig’s nose and mouth and from a cut over his eye. Carter rushed nig staggering. A right full on the jaw stretched Weinig at full length on knees and straightened up at the count of rine. Carter sent a right square on the pcint of the jaw and Weinig went down and out. y e e e s S e e i T ) DMIELS: ChSE NEARS AN END Prosecution Closes Its Side of Hearing in Police Court. Oaklnd Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 14, The prosecution has closed its offering in the Police Court. The first move of the defense, in the shape of a motion by Attorney Charles E. Snook to have | certain testimony of George A. Oakes, Russell R. Stedman and J. B. Lanktree stricken out, was. blocked by Police Judge Smith this afternoon. His Honor denied the motion to eliminate the evi- dence. Attorney Snook then submitted a mo- tion to dismiss the case, and Judge Smith continued the hearing until to-morrow morning, when arguments will be in or- der from both sides. nounced that he reserved the right to introduce testimony in the event that his ngortimn to d iss the case should be de- nied. Mr. Snook had asked that all testimony concerning declarations made by Oakes, Stedman_and Lanktree not in the pres- enge of Daniels should go out of the rec- ord. legal phases of his point, Attorney Allen replied. The motion was its case, which was done this afternoon. The first witness examined this after- noon was Chief Deputy County Assessor Thomas M. Robinson, who explained in the Assessor's office. ney Allen laid stress upon his questions concerning ‘‘mortgage books,” of which it is charged that the thirty ordered by Assessor Dalton were not made, although paid for by the county. band testified that the demands®on the county treasury for the unmade books were paid, one to J. B. Lanktree, other to the Bank of San Leandro. The prosecution’s last witness was Charles N. Walters, paying teller of the First Na- tional Bank, who gave evidence that he had personally pald to G. B. Danlels the $1500 which Oakes received by check from Lanktree. The cage of Henry P. Dalton, set for trial to-day in Judge Melvin's court, Las been continued until Thursday, and_will be tried, in all probability, by Judge Ells- worth. by Judge Melvin to-day that his physi- cians had ordered him to take a rest, and that he will be unable to try the Dalton case.

W., WASHINGTON, July 14—Washing- ton may be a tramps’ paradise and a rep- etition of the Coxey descent upon the cap- ital will not be impossible when Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the Agricul- tural Department, inserts in the papers an advertisement which he is preparing, something like this: * WANTED—SIx healthy young men with noth- ing to do but eat. Congress has directed the Agricultural Department to experiment and report on the effect of eating foods which have been artificially colored or preserved. Dr. Wi ley holds that he cannot make these ex- periments unless he has some one to ex- periment upon. = ¢ The “healthy” young men with nothing to do but eat may be sorry after they have eaten, but they will be under the ob- serving care of Dr. Wiley and their condi- :ion at all times will be recorded in his- ory.

San Francisco Bidding for the Next Gathering Two Years Hence. DENVER, Colo., July 4—The work of the forty-second biennial convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians began this morning with a meeting of the na- tional executive committee and directors. The order has a membership of 400,000 and about 500 delegates are expected to attend the sessions of the convention, which will open to-morrow. An anonymous circular is in circulation among delegates calling upon all good Hi- bernians to oppose any resolution which may be offered to the convention indors- ing the Clan-Na-Gael. President Keating has announced that ticnal Vice-President James F. Dolan of Syracuse, N. Y., and John A. Ryan of Boston are mentioned as candidates for the presidency. Buffalo, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati and San Francisco are bidding for the next convention two vears hence. The national directors decided to advise the convention, through President Keat- ing's report, to refuse all requests of col- lateral societies of Irishmen for aid. The Gaelic League, which is organized for the purpose of perpetuating the Irish lan- suage, will ask for money. Fifty thou- sand dollars has already been contributed Ly Hibernians for this purpose, and no more will be appropriated. Resolutions denouncing the Boer war as the most unjust conflict of modern times and a sacrifice to the ambitions of statesmen were incorporated in the T ort. The usual denunciation of Eng- and's oppression of Ireland was adopted but the national directors carefully re- frained from doing anything which might be construed as a recognition of the con- Clan-Na-Gael or any other Irish society. The Ancient Order of Hibernians, the na- tional directors will declare through Pres- ident Keating, is not a political society, but is Irish and Roman Catholic. The national directors refused to take up the cause of the Rev. Father Henneber- ry, who has been deposed from the fac. at Washington, and who has asserted that the fund furnished by the Hiber- nians to support a chair for teaching Gae- i lic z:lt the university was being improperly used. @ il @ JHIL-BREAKERS MUST RETURN Extradition Papers Is- sued for Criminals in Mex'co.

Big Fellow Wants Rest After Day’s Excitement. OAKLAND, July 14.—Jeffries didn’t feel | like getting up when his trainers called him at 6 o'clock this morning, so they let him bury his face in the feathers four Lours longer. He sald he was too tired after all the excitement of yesterday and refused to yield to all the prodding the cther fellows tormented him with. Every time his retinue came around to poke him | neath the pillows and it would be all oft for another hour or so. “The fact is that Jeff strained himself a little one day last week at Harbin Springs. He had been doing the limit anyway on exercise and last Wednesday he had a long brush with the Calistoga stage, 1t was a little too much for even such a tower of strength as Jeff is, with the result that when he came back he telt pretty much to the bad. So that to kind of offset things he has been taking it easy these last five days, doing almost nothing. 1t was not until this afternoon that Jeff began to feel ‘‘right” again. All in a mo- ment up at the Reliance Club he tossed his paper to one side and said he guessed he'd do some work, just about the time the retinue had made up their minds that there would be nothing to do for the day. He stripped and went in for everything portable. He slammed the bag around, hit out with the bells, stretched his abdomi- nal muscles over a chair, skipped the repe uncountable times and stood off the big sandbag. work he boxed eight alternate rounds with brother Jack and Joe Kennedy, winding up with that trying exercise by which he defles the strongest man in the audlence to push his head nfflnn the wall, Bill Delaney says this last is the greatest in the world for strengthening the nsuscles of the neck. v T guess Jeff didn’t feel like doing any- thing to-day because he wanted to drink in some of the cool air down here,” said Billy Delaney to-night. *It was insuf- ferably hot at Harbin and it feels good to get where the air is balmy and not so stifling. The big fellow will begin to work to-morrow just as hard as ever. There's no telling what he'll want to do, but you can believe that he'll work hard the rest of the time.”” e A FILLING STRIKERS’' PLACES.

Wilcox for another term as Delegate to Congress by a practically unanimous vote, and the indications are that they will withdraw from such affilia- tion as they have attempted with the Republican party and go it alone as the Home Rule party instead of the Home Rule Republican party. The feature of the convention was an address by Delegate Wilcox, in which he was very bitter in his remarks about the missionary party, as well as in his com- ments on annexation. His speech included the following: We are now in the family of the great United States, not by our own desire. They took us as a lion” takes a lamb. When we first lost our country and when the monarchy was over- thrown and the United States landed troops upon gur shores, America did not want us to become annexed. It was through the mission- aries that we lost our country. After referring to the campaign for and against annexation, Wilsox said: | Then came the war with Spain and the United States grabbed our isiands. Three com- missions from the United States and two from here were all in favor of annexation. Well, the missionaries managed to get nearly all the land and now they want the rest. The missionaries have tried to take away your votes, but God would not allow them to Tulfill the wishes of their biack hearts. We are now recognized and known as a part of the United States. I can truthfully say that I have no enemies in Congress, we have no enemies in Congress. The only place where I have heard any prejudice expressed against the Hawaiian race is right here in Hawali, where the mis- sionaries are all the time sending tales to the United States that we are nobodies and canni- als. In Congress the missionaries have friends posted to try and upset and thwart our plans all the time. It is true that I advised you to call the party the Home Rule Republican and to join with the Republicans, but that was be- Guuse I was advised soghy my friends, in Con- | ress. But from now on, let it be the Home Rule party. The Delegate made other references to the allcged efforts at Washington to dis- franchise the natives, and declared that the missionaries were constantly making efforts through their representatives and special agents to thwart his plans at Washington. Continuing, he sald: What the missionaries want for Delegate Is a haole, a white man. You can all see what a prejudice exists right here against the native, On the Fourth of July there were no natives asked to recelve the guests. The Governor's own Council was not asked. Why? some of them were natives. Wilcox's speech, like the Eroceedings of the convention, was in the native lan- guage. He outlined his plans for the next session of Congress, and announced his intention to, make a tour of the islands and exvlain to voters what he had done in the past sessions. His speech was re- ceived with much applause. There were 142 delegates in the convention. Because Licensad to Marry. OAKLAND, July l4.—Licenses to marry were issued to-day to John P.

Bidders Will Be Shy Because of Inability to Make Estimates. phi o 5 Taxpayers of Yolo County are much exercised over the comstruction of their new courthouse and especially since they have become imbued with the belief, with or without just cause, that there i3 an undercurrent that is working against their interests and to the detriment of their pockets. These good taxpayers are backed up in these SQuh(s by many reputable build- ers, who claim that the specifications and the plans have been drawn in the inter- est of some favored contractor, the coms clusion arrived at being a consequence of the manner the specifications and plans have been elaborated beyond the under- standing of the builders who are long- ing to put in their bids but are unable in justice to themselves to do so. The speci- fications and_ the plans in question are even sald to be extravagantly cloudy and so mazy as to baffle the most expert builder. And in view of the fact that to-day is the day when bids are to be received b: the Board of Supervisors at Woodland, there is a doubt whether there will be more than one straight, legitimate bid, though even that one straight, legitimate bid may have several comnnecting branches—a sort of family, as it were. It is further argued by a puzzled and disappointed number of builders that th matter has become so notorious that the people of Yolo County have already takem legal steps to protest against any action of the board so far as its accepting bids for the erectlon of the Woodland court- house under the present circumstances— that is, until the clouds can be pushed along and all can be allowed to under: stand the specifications and plans. Architect Mooser, it is claimed, has en= tered into a contract which will reap him 32500, whether the building goes up or not, he having been employed by the board as architect ,and superintendent. And Mr. Mooser will be further entitied, it is claimed, to 5 per cent of the cost of the new structure, which will cost $200,000. Several builders went to see Mr. the plans and specifications and gettin some information which would enable them to come to some conclusion before putting in a bid to-day. Mr. Mooser was not seeable for the reason that he was out. The attendant was asked about the specifications, but admitted his inability to explain or show or tell anything about the documents that would be of much use to _gentlemen desirous of competing. Under the circumstances of the alleged vagueness of the plans and specifications it is declared that no reputable con~ tractor or builder would submit a bid. The first distrust grew out of the elab- oration of the plans and specifications— work done at the architect’s office which is said to be surpassing in its intricacy. With such plans and specifications the builders ask how it is possible for them to make their estimates. Another stumbling block which the builders claim has been put in their way _is the calling for a certified check of 15 per cent of the contract price of 200,000, which has tp be deposited with the bid, which means a deposit of $30,000 on the part of a bidder. Such a demand was an outrage said many builders yesterday, and will go far in backing up the genera] opinion that there will be but the one bid. The statute expressly provides that al public buildings shall be open to com tition. In this case it is said that the Su- pervisors have straddled the law by their claim that the new structure will consist simply of alterations and additions to the old’ building, but the ecitizens of Woodland do not regard the matter in the same light, and on their part contend that the courthouse will he anfiralv g ~e—- structure.

POMONA, July 14.—Thomas Jefferson Hill committed suicide by shooting him- gelf in the head here to-night. He had been drinking hard for several weeks and was despondent all day. Hill was one of the many claimants to the estate of $142.000 left by the mys- terious Charles Hill, who died tly in Los Angeles, but he could bring little proof .of relationship to the deceased to estabiish his claim. It is said that he re- tused cash for his prospective equity in that estate. Soon after refusing that offer he learned positively that he could net establish his title to the estate, and since then he had been despondent.
