Colonel W. P. Clough, general counsel and a director for the Northern Securities Company, was the first witness, In the company's answer to the com- plaint of the Government it says that five-sixths of the stock of the Great Northern Railway Company has been “negotiated for.” BSolicitor General Rich- ards wanted to know what the words meant and Colonel Clough explained that of the 1,250,000 shares of $100 each the Northern Securities Company actually owns 1,238,804 The holders of the smaller amount, he sald, virtually hold them as trustees for the Northern Securities Company.

Later A DUEL IN PARIS Fatal Termination of an Affair of Honor Be- tween Poles. PARIS, Sept. 25.—A fatal duel with pis- tols was fought this morning at Viroflay, near Versallles, between young Poles named Niecengeiwicz and Belkiewlecz. At the first fire Belklewiecz was shot through the head. He was removed to & hospital, where he died. Both duelists were sons of wealthy merchants in War- saw and came to Paris to study French. The cause of the duel was trivial, one of the young men having refused to shake hands with the other after a quarrel, Stromboli Volcano Is Active. PARIS, Sept. 25.—A dispatch to the Fi- garo from Rome says the volcano on Stromboli Island, off the north coast of Sicily, has been active for several days. A large cornical mass has appeared on the edge of one of the craters and a fissure at the base of this crater is pour- ing out lava and jets of flame to the height of 400 yards. A dispatch from Rome, dated September 9, stated the Stromboli volcano was then in full erup- tion. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1902. MORE TESTIMONY (STUDENTS FIERT FALLING WALLS MARINES GUARD FIGHTING FORGES KILL HUNDREDS| PANAMA WHARVES REMAIN PAGSIE Further Details of Big Temblor in Eastern Turkestan. BERLIN, Sept. 25.—A dispatch received here from Tashkend, capital of Russian Turkestan, gives further details of the terrible earthquake of August 22, the shocks continuing until September 8. One hundred persons were killed at Kashgar, in Eastern Turkestan, 400 in the village of Astyn, and twenty at Jango, while the town of Aksuksitche was completely de- stroyed. ALLAHABAD, India, Sept. 25.—A dls- patch to the Pioneer from Kashgar, East- ern Turkestan, says that only a dozen people were killed there in the earth- quake, but that the disturbances wrecked many villages in the northern part of the province, the total of persons killed be- ing 1000. There were no premonitory signs, says the dispatch, but a pro- nounced flf in temperature followed the principal shock. The temperature contin- ued to rise during the subsequent days, which were attended by a repetition of slight quakes. The dispatch says no Bu- ropeans lost their lives. i Uncle Sam'’s Forces Are Kept Busy in the Isthmus. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTO! Sept. 25.—That the situation on the Isthmus of Panama is serious and that it will continue to re- quire the attention of the American forces was evident from cablegrams re- cetved at the Navy Department to-day from Commander McLean, now at Colon. Just before Secretary Moody left the Navy Department he received from Com- mander McLean a dispatch which stated that the conditions, while not seriously disturbed, are such that the United States force there cannot be withdrawn nor diminished for the present. This is taken to mean that the situation is so se- rious that all the avallable forces of the United States will be necessary to pre- serve transit on the raflroad. Commander McLean yesterday cabled the department regarding the distribution of his force. He said that Colonel Russell, commander of the battalion of marines sent to Pa- nama last week on the auxiliary cruiser Panther, has been stationed on the wharves at Panama with two companies, g:l%; another company is stationed at y twelve hours before bulkheads along the in some cases de- | hored off the beach, began and drive in toward women crowded the in any manner in the vessel and those ieloff lashed him- | e Slater thought nce to escape lay in com- surf with the hope M | formerly ar extinct that he was employ of Miles & The body of recovered three He was a and feeling aroused by wdition to be of It n working order This is the | DYNAMITE IN A TRUNK. | Brandt was bruised about the body and badly shaken up and received a severe | ut op the left leg. Mrs. Brandt sustatned bruises about the body and a cut hand. When the wrecked building was searched to-day enough dynamite was of buildings. There were six whole sticks and parts of two or three broken sticks, together with a box of caps and a quanti- ty of wire for long distance explosion. He had at least nine sticks of dynamite in his possession. McKie was about 28 years old. He was of Philadelphia and had rela- tives in Chicago. His brother, Harry Mc- Kie, was killed in Chicago last year, ac- cording to a telegram found in the dead man’s room to-day. McKie was a ma- chinist in the navy yard here, but re- signed on inheriting upward of $20,000 about four years ago. This amount he is said to have lost on the races, and his act is accredited by some o his loss. De- tectives are investigating the case. An uncle of McKie, who was located to- day in Philadelphia, telegraphed to Major Silvester, the Chief of Police, that he would come to Washington and take charge of the remains of the dead man. McKie is known to have inquired regard- ing the effect of explosives, and there seems no doubt that the explosion was deliberately planned. | EXAGGERATED IN LONDON. LONDON, Sept. 2.—Great excitement | was created in London this evening by a | story sent out by the Dalziel News Agen- cy under a New York date saying it was | supposed that an anarchistic attempt on the life of President Roosevelt was in- volved in the wrecking of the Golden Eagle Hotel in Washington with dyna- | mite and the subsequent suicide of the perpetrator of the outrage. The newspa- pers here got out “specfals” and flaming placards and boys were bawling the start- ling news through the streets, with the result that half the population of London went home believing that the assassina- tion of the President had been attempted.

It was announced after the conference that it had been decided to postpone the further hearing until October 20 in the Federal building at St. Paul. | PTOWER IS TO BE NAMED EMBASSADOR TO GERMANY Notice of This Decison on the Part of the President Reaches Berlin, BERLIN, Sept. 2%.—President Roosevelt has chosen Charlemagne Tower, Embas- sador to Russia, to succeed Mr. White as | Embassador to Germany. Notifications | of this decision and that White's letters of recall had been issued by the State De- partment have reached the Foreign Office | here. The appointment of Tower had been ex- pected here for several weeks. White will probably not have his farewell audience with the Emperor November 7, his birth- day, as has been provisionally arranged, because his Majesty leaves November 5 for England. The retiring Embassador, therefore, is not likely to present his let- ters of recall until about the middle of November. ¥ WASHINGTON, Sept. %.—The appoint- ment of Charlemagne Tower as Embas- sador to Germany to succeed White is confirmed. It is likely that officlal an- nouncement of the change will be made soon, either by President Roosevelt him- self or by the State Department. Tower’s acceptance of the German mis- sion will create a vacancy in the Embas- sadorship to Russia, which is held now | by him. It is regarded as quite likely that he will in turn be succeeded by Bel- iamy Storer, present Embassador to the { court of Madrid. It is intimated further that the vacancy in the Spanish mission may be filled by the appointment of Hen- ry White, present secretary of the em- bassy in Great Britain. PRI el IMPRESSIVE SERVICES IN HONOR OF DEAD QUEEN King Leopold and Members of the Royal Family Attend, Accom- panied by Court Diplomats, BRUSSELS, Sept. 25.—A memorial ser- vice in honor of the late Queen, Marie | Henriette was celebrated to-day in the Cathedral of Sainte Gudele. King Leo- pold and members of the royal family at- tended, accompanied by a long procession of military and civil officlals, diplomats and Cabinet Ministers. Very large crowds thronged the ap- proaches to the sacred edifice and the windows and balconies of the houses. The street lamps were covered with crape and were lighted. The whole interior of the cathedral was imposingly draped with black. EARL OF DUDLEY WWAKES HIS ENTRY INTO DUBLIN New Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Is Received With But Small Dem- onstration of Joy.

W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—From United States Consul Ellsworth at Puerto Cabello the State Department has re- ceived a dispatch dated September 24, which is a rather comprehensive state- ment of the position of the revolutionist and Government forces in Veneszuela. Ellsworth says that while Puerto Cabello, the Valencia Railroad and the small towns adjacent to Puerto Cabello and Va- lencia are in the possession of the Gov- ernment, the coast and the interior west to Maracaibo, including the Bolivar Rall- road and the ports of Tucacas, Chichir- wichi, San Juan and La Vela, are held by the revolutionists. He adds that the main body of revolutionists has south of Valencia en route to join the main army of General Matos at Zaraza, and that there is no immediate danger of an attack on Puerto Cabello. —_— Genulne frankincense is produced only in Arabia and a part of East Africa.
