Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18.—After having slowly but steadily improved throughout | the day, Senator Bard suffered a relapse while it did not| wholly overcome the beneficial effects of the improvement, caused his family and physicians grave apprehension. What they fear is that this relapse will be fol- lowed by periods of depression from | which he will not fully revive, and becom- ing weaker with each, will suddenly suc- cumb. The crisis is expected to-morrow, and | it is believed that his very life will in a great measure depend upon how he passes the night. There is no immediate danger of dissolution, and just before he retired at 11:20 o'clock Dr, Taggart stated he was sur;x the patient would live through the night. Although Dr. Taggart was very guarded in his statements it was evident that he was worried, and when he sought his couch in the room adjoining that occu- pied by the sick man he left two trained | nurses on duty with instructions that he be called even if the Senator awakes, A few minutes before he had administered a sedative to relieve the restlessness | which was causing an increase of fever, | and under the effects of this the Senator dropped into an unnatural sleep which the | physician stated would probably centinue for several hours. Last night the patient slept naturally for six hours and when he awoke this morning he was quite cheerful and sald he felt better. He took short naps | throughout the morning, and so marked was the improvement in his condition that his relatives became more hopeful than at any time since his iliness began. About dark, however, he became restiess and from the high pulsation which had heretofore been considered so dangerous the heart action dropped almost to the other extreme, and for a time it was beat- ing at the rate of 9 to the minute. The fever almost disappeared and so weak did the patient become that it be- came necessary to administer a stimu- lant. The stomach also refused to per- form its functions and would not retain the liquid food, which has been the only nourishment given for more than a week. A gaseous condition in the abdomen gave the patient much distress, He became very restless and for the first time during his illness complained of feeling worse than before. ~ | At S o'clock to-night he asked that all | of his children be summoned to join his | wife at his bedside, but the physicians decided that he was in no condition for the least excitement, and when they told him so he withdrew the request. Later he asked whether the physicians could not give him something to afford rellef, | and it was then that the scdative was administered. It is the sudden weakness of the stom- ach which is causing the physicians un- easiness. Heretofore predigested food has been administered and has been readily assimilated, but if it become impossible to give necessary nourishment the con- sequent weakness will render the case well nigh hopeless. The physicians have decided that to-morrow they will make tests both for pneumonia and for typhoid fever, provided the Senator i strong enough to stand the examin; o At midnight his pulse had risen to 118.and was very irregular and the temperature was two degrees above normal. e FLAMES IN MONTANA OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN Government Officials Declare That Malicious Persons Are Destroy- ing the Forests. BUTTE, ‘Mont., Sept. 18.—It has de- veloped to-day that the forest fires in the northwestern part of the State are prob- ably of incendiary origin.

Rain is falling for the | first time in many weeks. T — MILES WILL INSPECT LOWER SOUND FORTS Commanding General of the Army Passes Through Seattle on His Official Tour.

Here had been erect- ed a large table over which was spread a blue canopy, out from which peeped hun- dreds of sparkling electric lights, imita- tive of the Egyptian frmament. This canopy had for its support a date palm thirty feet in height. In the center of the court the famous marble fountain, Poso de Verona, from which the Hacienda derives its name, shot sparkling streams into the air. A myriad of electric lights, white and parti-colored, locked out from many places. Suspended from the edge of the canopy were awnings of gorgeous colors, which Mrs. Hearst brought from Egypt. They were white, red, vellow, blue and green and of many patterns, in which were worked inscriptions in Arabic | &nd verses from Arabic poets. 1 ‘The table bore articles and ware of Egyptian patterns. The inner circle was | eraged In a rich white cloth festooned | with greens and flowers. The upper linen was appliqued with lotus flowers and pink | cdges.

Special Dispatch to The Call. WOODLAND, Sept. 18.—A sensational scene occurred mear the depot shortly after the arrival of the Sacramento-Te- hama ‘‘cannon-ball” last night, Mrs. Katie W. Cook of Sacramento attempted to stab her divorced husband, Edward Cook, with a hatpin. The man observed her move- ment In time to seize her by the wrists. The pin struck Cook in the face, inflict- ing a slight wound. In the struggle the woman fell. The big_crowd around her imagined that Cook had struck her and he was in danger of violence until he convinced them that he was only holding her to prevent her from doing any injury. About that time an officer arrived and took both parties be- fore Judge Ruggles. The difficulty began in Sacramento. Cook and the woman, whose maiden nai was W. Sheridan, were married in Sacramento in March, 1893, It was an unfortunate alllance from the beginning. For some time Cook has been out of the State. When he returned he learned that the Humane Society had threatened to take the two children away from Mrs. Cook. Wednesday afternoon Judge Shields granted Cook a divorce and awarded him the custody of the two children. The woman made no defense, but she was furious when she learned that the chil- dren were to be taken from her. The officers took the children and de- livered them to the father at the train. Cook proposed to bring them to Wood- land and leave them with his family. Mrs. Cook also boarded the train, —She was almost hysterical during the entire trip. At the Woodland depot the party was met by Mrs. Cook, an aunt of the children. There was no interference when the little boy was placed in the buggy, but the mother seized the little girl and struggled with such desperation that the father concluded to allow her temporarily to have her way, to accompany her to | the office of a Justice of the Peace and endeavor to gain possession of the child without creating a further disturbance. They were on their way when the In- cident above described occurred. Judge Ruggles heard statements from both and examined the decree, after which he stated that he could do nothing, He ad- vised the mother to surrender the child, but she refused to do so and the little one clung to her, After a great deal of parleying the father and mother agreed that the little girl should be taken to the home of relatives of the family for the night. The woman was persuaded to re- turm to Sacramento on a frelght train Wwhich left Woodland about 9 o’clock last night. She went away threatening to take steps to have the divorce annulled. Cook took both children out in the coun- try this morning and left them with his brother, Ross Cook, and wif e Beans Cause a Child’s Death. REDDING, Sept. 18.—Frankie Beetz, a 2-year-old boy of Keswick, was playing and laughing in youthful health and glec ten minutes before his death. He was the son of B. G. Beetz, who resides near the Keswick baths. His death is sald to have been due to some beans with which he had been playing a couple of days be- fore and which he swallowed. This morning at 10 o'clock he was seized with a fit of coughing, which none of the or- dinary remedles could relleve. Within ten minutes he was dead. vzt Fruit Growers Have Difficulties. SAN JOSE, Sept. 18.—The continued un- | favorable weather for fruit drying Is causing the growers much annoyance and worry. At many dryers no fruit will be received, as trays full of prunes are still in the field. This is particularly true of the region about Campbell. Good drying weather is anxiously looked for, as the balance of the prunes, amounting to about one-half the crop, is still on the trees. —_— Swiss Celebrate an Anniversary.

REDDING, Sept. 18.—If the news that reached Redding to-night is true a fabu- lously ‘rich mine has been discovered in southeastern Trinity County, near Wild- wood,” and in a section that is known to Bo rich in various kinds of: metals. The report from Wildwood is to the ef- | fect that Morris Jones, who for several months has been developing a claim about eight miles from the Wildwood postoffice, has uncovered what appears to be an immense chimney of ore that is nearly pure gold. The yellow metal is said to be S0 thick that a knife blade cannot be quartz without touching the gold.
