BERLIN, Oct. 9.—It developed to-day that the Boer generals declined in a tele- graphic message to seek presentation to Emperor Willlam througn the Britsh Embassador and this fact has produced an extraordinary commotion among poli- ticlans and courtlers. No later than last | Monday the Foreign Office received a message from the generals announcing that they had not the slightest objection to applying for an interview through British Government channels, and it was even understood here that the Govern- ment of Great Britain was willing to countenance the interview. Whether that is true or not the pan-German committee | in charge of the Boer reception was con- Ifident the generals' would come with Baby Mine a mother should be a source of Every mother feels a great dread of the pain and danger attendant upon the most critical period of her life.

A. Mack of A. Mack & Co. of i San Francisco made an excellent presen- | tation of the merits of the case for the Pacific Coast on the floor of the conven- | tion. He took the position that was as- sumed months ago by the attorneys for | the Pacific Coast Manufacturers’ and Job- i bers’ Assoclation before the Interstate Commerce Commission, showing that the | present system of postage stamp rate was | better calculated to keep open all markets to the Pacific Coast and to enable all markets better to sell their goods on this : coast than would be possible under the application of the graded rates, which are go earnestly advocated, for their own good, by the St. Louis jobbers. After Mack had presented the matter there was little discussion. The general opinfon of the delegates is that they have had a profitable convention. As to the pleasure they have derived from their visit to the coast there are no two opin- ions. fproper credentials and hence have an op- portunity for an audience. Then - on Wednesday came a dispatch saying the were determined. not to apply to h Government, but would leavo | the Emperor to summon them himself. This, of course, would have put his Ma- | Jesty in direct opposition to Great Britain | and" the announcement immediately fol- | lowed that the proposed interview would rot take place. The press to-day attacks the Boer gen- erals in the style which it has heretofore reserved for Colonial Secretary Chamber- lain. Some of the newspapers oppose the generals being allowed to come here at all and advocate the suppression of the proposed reception, including girls crown- ing the generals with laurel wreaths. Va- rious explapations aré given for 4the Boers’ motives. A favorite idea is that Dr. Leyds, who is called the Boers' evil genius, devised the whole thing so as to strike back at the Emperor for refusing to receive Kruger. The reception commit- tee is advised that the generals intend to come here as though nothing had hap- pened, and any anti-British demonstra- tion now will certainly be stopped by the police, as official circles are very much annoyed at the Boers’ behavior. — GENEVA STRIKE SITUATION IS BECOMING THREATENING Men Connectéd With the Building Trades Go Out in Sympathy ‘With Car Employes. X LONDON, Oct. 8.—A dispatch to a news agency from Geneva, Switzerland, to-day announces that the Workmen’s Natlonal Committee has decreed a general strike throughout Switzerland in sympathy with the street car employes there. Troops are Leld in readiness to deal with any disor- der, GENEVA, Oct. 9.—The strike was pro- claimed by the Workmen's National Com- mifttee by a vote of 200 to 4. All the men connected with the building trades struck ard the newspapers will have to stop pub- lication; but work continues at the gas works and in the bakeries and the cafes and shops are open. - The Workmen’s Na- ticnal Committee placarded the streets with an appeal to all workmen to leave tlheir work and announced that before de- claring the strike the committee made s last appeal to the street car company, which refused to receive its delegates. ‘Two additlonal battalions ‘of infantry and a detachment of artillery have been crdered to be held in readiness for even- tvalities. Toward noon, because of tha threatened attitude of the strikers the authorities. ordered a suspension of thol street car service. i boat NAVAL EXPERTS FAVOR OIL FUEL Experiments Prove That It Is Not an Im- practicability. Board to Recommend Its Use \on Torpedo Boats and Destroyers. — Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—Experiments { with oll fuel have demonstrated its naval | value to un extent which has led the Board of Navy Department experts which has been conducting experiments, to rec- ommend that one-third of the torpedo destroyers now in commission be equipped with oll fuel appliances. This is a clear indication of the confidence which has been inspired by the experi- ments thus ‘far conducted. Far from demonstrating that oil is an impractica- bility, if not an impossibility, as service- able naval fuel, the tests have shown that it may be used to advantage in army and navy transports, torpedo boats and naval auxiliaries even if the absence of an oil supply in mary parts of the world and the danger of explosion when oil fumes mix with powder gases render its use on battleships inadvisable. The board does not expect to submit a final report for many months. The pre- liminary report which shows the result of fourteen official experiments has been submitted and will be made public with a report of the engineer-in-chief of the navy, Bear Admiral Melville. The report will show that the engineer- ing difficulties have been almost solved. | There are commercial and structural fea- tures of the problem which will have to be solved, and the matters will be care- fully treated in the report. In all probability all the information furnished in the preliminary report will be of greater valus concerning the solu- tion of the liquid fuel problem than any- thing of the Kind ever printed. In addi- tion to the board of experts the crews of torpedo boats have been utilized in car- rying on experiments and the expense has not been considered too great to se- cure reliable and complete data. The report will be particularly valuable by reason of the fact that it will permit those who have studled the question to draw valuable deductions in regard to the pressure which would be carried for | atomizing the ofl. FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1902. EXTSTING LAWG ARE INADEQUATE System of Governmentin Guam Does Not Meet Requirements, 'No Appropriation Available to Repair Damage Done by Earthquake, Pl Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 140§ G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—It is. _quite probable that the next session of Con- gress may witness an effort to secure leg- islation for a new form of government for Guam and for the United States’ interests in Samoa. The recent earthquake in Guam, which destroyed a large amount of public property, has served to bring forth the drawbacks of the present system of gov- ernment under a naval Governor. Fhere is no appropriation available which can be used to make the necessary = repairs to the public works in Guam which were injured Ly the earthquake. The only money the Government can legally spend there is for the’ maintenance of the naval estab- lishment. It is practically impossible on this account to relieve the present neces- sity. The damage to public and naval property was about $45,000. Acting Secretary Darling has started an examination of the law bearing on the subject in an endeavor to find some plan of a colonial dependency government which will be adapted to the peculiar con- diticns existent not only in Guam but also ip Samoa. A form of.térritorial govern- ment is in his mind a vital necessity, but there is some question as to the possibil- ity of securing legislation. Efforts in Congress to change the form of govern- ment, it is feared, would precipitate a. hot debate on the old questions whieh made the Philippine bill such a bone of conten- tion. The naval Governor of Guam, Commander Schroeder, is considered one of the best officers in the service and his record at that post has been excellent, but the system is thought to be at fault and steps will be taken to remedy it. ‘Warns French Agitator, GENEVA, Switzerland, Oct. 9.—In view of the threatened general strike the Gov- ernment has ordered out additional troops. The Public Prosecutor to-day summoned Sebastian Faure, the well known French agitator, and warned him that he woud be expelled from Switzer- land if he continued his agitation. 3 FAPID BREAK UP -~ OF CAMP ROOT Regulars Show How an * Army Is Placed in " Motion. Tents Are Down and Read for Shipment Within Fif- teen Minutes. FORT RILEY, Kans., Oct. .—For two weeks officers of the National Guard from rearly all the States between Wiscensin oand. Georgia, California and Rhode Isi- and, have remained at Camp Root wit- Aessing practical object lessons in the movement of armies and the control of men i action. There were very few-of them left in camp this morning. Had these who departed prolonged their visit but ome day they would have gained knowledge of the art of swiftly placing an army in motion, second in importance to ‘nothing they have acquired concern- ing the more showy operations in the field. This knowledge they would have obtained by looking on at the simple, fricticnless but marvelously rapid break- up of Camp Root under the ensrgetic rersonal direction of Captain C. B. Baker, the chief quartermaster of the maneuver camp, who had entire control of the load- irg of the trains and transportation of the o A | ply at a contract price of $7480. troops. At 6:29 this morning 1500. tents stood in the camp. All their ropes had been loos- ened, however, and at 6000 tent corners stood Y men, each holding a tent rope. ‘At 6:30 a cavalry bugler standing upon the hillside which slopes away to the east from the tent of the commanding gen- eral raised his bugle to his lips and the notes of the ‘“general” rang out upon the air. Instantly the call was caught up by the regimental buglers and within one minute ‘it was ended in the camp of the farthest regiment. The 6000 soldiers lcesened the ropes they held and instant- 1y every tent was on the ground. Within fifteen minutes every tent was ready for shipment and the first loads of canvas be- ing placed aboard the cars for transpor- tation to Omaha, where all the tentage ‘will be sent. The work went on as though it had been rehearsed a thousand times. One hour after the first note of the “gen- eral” sounded the first train carrying the headquarters, band and four companies of the Eighteerith Infantry pulled out for Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo. General Bates and staff on a special train left for Oma- ba at 8 o’clock. At 12:52 p. m. the last train of the day puiled out for Washington, D. C. It car- ried the signal corps, hospital corps and REGORDS OF BID DISCLOSE FRAUDS Contractors Accused of Conspiring to Rob Uncle Sam. Form Combine to Charge Exorbitant Prices for Food Supplies. NORFOLK, Va., Octf9.—United States Ccmmissioner Bowden to-day held for the Federal Grand Jury Aaron ‘Marx, J. A Codd and Louls Wasserman for conspir- acy with intent to defraud the United States in the matter of the contract for supplying the Norfolk navy yard with 100,000 pounds of beef and a similar amount of fresh vegetables. The accused were admitted to bail in the sum of §1000 each. The evidence introduced at the hearing showed that Marx, Wasserman, Codd and Richard - Eastwood met in a hotel in Washington, and Marx, by paying $150 to each of the others, secured their bids for the contract with figures greater than those submitted by himself. His bid was $15,400 and he secured the contract for tkat sum. Fastwood has not yet been arrested. ‘Wasserman is now furnishing the Hamp- ton Rcads station with an identical sup- Assistant Distriet Attorney Miller stat- ed that Marx was informed of the in- vestigation being made into the records of the bids and contract by some one connected with the department at Wash- ington and that an investigation to dis- cover who this is will be made. ———— Sunk by Collision.
