VICTORIA, B.C., March 28—The steam- | er Princess Victoria, which reached port | | to-day from England via Coronel, at| I which port she called to fill her bunkers, | | brought news of a tragedy which oc- | | curred during her stay at that port, as a result of which an American shipmaster, more recently a partner in a Chilean coal | mining company, was murdered by a mob { of Chilean rioters. Few facts were gleaned regarding the | tragedy by the officers of the Princess Victoria. It was learned, however, that | Captain Condell, a middle-aged American citizen, who has lived at Coronel for years, was beaten to death with clubs. of Coronel to his residence, a gang of | rioters springing upon him from behind.

The riot, as a result of nt of the Cold | which the murder was committed, was u- | understood to be due to the fact that, taking advantage of an inciplent revolu- tion occasioned by an election—the de- feated politiclans of the South American states usually become revolutionists when the polls close—the coal miners had struck because of alleged grievances, and strikers and revolutionists were rioting in | the streets of Coronel.

The heavy downpour of rain also served to dampen the ardor of some, and thinned out the crowd on Pike street to a mere handful. The striking street car men expected much of the meeting. They would like to see the strike settled, and they say it could be settled in ten minutes if Presi- dent Furth will just say that the com- pany will recognize the union. That is just what Mr. Furth will not say, how- ever, so the two parties to the.conflict are just as far apart as ever. The committee of business men suc- ceeded in their efforts to bring the two sides together In a conference, but the meeting was barren of results. Repre- sentatives of each side made a statement as to the position of each, but as there was no middle ground prgposed upon which the two factions could be asked to unite, there was nothing said or done that would indicate an early settlement.

While Lach- Horn took up a twelve-pound hammer and whirling it around his head sent it flying through the air directly toward Lachridge. It was thrown with much more force than Horn had intended and before Horn could warn Lachridge the latter was struck on the forehead.

LONDON, March 28—London’s smart world is very much exercised by Queen Alexandra’s initiative in setting the fash- | ion of wearing high-necked dresses at the theater.

FATHERLAND VENTS ANGER UPON DEWEY Bitter Resentment of the Admiral’s Criticism. —— Press Devotes Long| Articles to Heated Replies. One Editor Styles the American Naval Hero a “Brawler.” { —_—— Special Cable to The Call and New York | | Herald, Copyright, 1003, by the New York | Herald Publishing Company. BERLIN, March 28.—Admiral Dewey’s criticism of the German navy and his claim for the superiority of the American navy arouses a strong protest in Govern- ment as well as in popular and naval cir- cles here. The interview with Admiral Dewey, as given in The Call, was cabled from New York this morning and formed a leading subject of editorial comment in the newspapers this evening. The Kiel correspondent of the Tageblatt this even- ing states that in marine circles there the conviction prevails that the American fleet is not to visit Kiel because the fleet is made up of various types, and, com- pared with the fleet organization and bat- tleship types of Germany and England, would appear antiquated in the eyes of Germah naval experts. In other words, the United States authorities are ashamed to send a ‘fleet to Kiel which is not able | i fon. to be proof against German expert op\n-i COMMISSION ON TEXTBOOKS IS COMPLETE [ | | i -+ MEMBER OF COMMISSION CREATED BY LEGISLATURE TO REVISE TEXTBOOKS. > = Governor Selects Dr. | Brown of State Not in months has popular sSentiment | been stirred up in the capital as it is to- @ay by Admiral Dewey's invidious com- parisdn of the German and American navies. Admiral Dewey is speclally dis- liked here because of his sharp action against German Admiral von Diedrichs at Manila Bay and the occasion has been eagerly seized upon to lecture Dewey. | The Tageblatt this evening devotes an | article headed “American = Chauvinism™ to the Dewey interview and says: “We have often pointed out that the easily won military and naval victories of the Americans over the Spaniards, with their fragile ships, has led the Americans to overestimate their military prowess, It is highly probable, according to the infor- mation at hand, that Baron Speck von Sternberg will make complaint to the State Department demanding reparation for Germany on account of Admiral Dewey's criticism of Germany's navy.” The Tageblatt also quotes the views of the Kiel officers that the United States’ fleet s not coming because it is unable to stand critical judgment. The Lokal Anzeiger gives The Call- Herald interview, and says: “It is as though Germany intended a threat against the United States with its few ships at V-nezuela, which were there only for Venezu 'an affairs, Certain it is that the Europ an powers can place warships of an entirely different caliber before Admiral Dewey’'s eyes than the ‘wooden hulks of the Spanish navy.” The Neuveste Nachrichten calls Admiral Dewey a “Krakeeler (brawler) against Germany, and one who wants to brag at the cost of the German nav: The Post prints a semi-official state- | University. 20 ACRAMENTO, March 8. —~Gov- | .Y ernor Pardee at the State Board of Education meeting to- day named Dr. E.

The matter will be taken up at the next meeting. @ ieinimiiimin i @ | HEAVY REGISTRATION | OF CINCINNATI VOTERS | Men of the Rival Factions Taking Unusual Interest in the City | Campaign. | CINCINNATI, March 28.—The registra- | tion which clgsed here to-night for the city election on April 6 has been unusually heavy. Voters who registered for the general election last fall were mot re- | quired to reregister, and it was not | thought that the registration would be heavy. To the surprise of the politicians 11,149 voters registered yesterday and to- number ever day. This is the largest known in a municipal election. It is said that during the contention be- ment regarding the Kaiser's invitation to | the American scuadron to visit Kiel and | says that it is believed that the visit is | only postponed and has not been finally called off. The Vossische Zeitung says: “The American navy is evidently suffer- ing from a disease of infancy—lack of modesty. Its leader evinces something un- speakably immature. One can only stand amazed that such intensified self-compe- tence should take root in a people of Ger- manic origin. Such behavior would not excite wonder if it had occurred in some central or South American republic, or Hayti. Admiral Dewey is a worthy imi- tation of Captain Coghlan, who, at a New York Club, gave a boastful toast bristling | with insults to Germany, and warmed up the exploded story that Admiral Dewey compelled the German fleet at Manila to lie to when it refused to respect the blockade. Captain Coghlan seems, how- ever, to have spoken from Admiral Dew- ey's own heart. Captain Coghlan was disciplined and President McKinley ex- pressed to the German Embassador his regret that the incident occurred. The same thing must perhaps be done now in order that superheated Deweys may be cooled down. Political generals and ad- mirals, at any rate, are not a sign of wholesome political conditions.” At the Foreign Office the officials say they do not believe a diplomattic incident will result from the interview with Ad- miral Dewey. They are reluctant to be- lieve’ that the admiral was correctly quoted, but add that should the interview turn out to be true, it “will probably prove somewhat disturbing to the pleasant reia- tions with the United States.” —— DEWEY NOT REPRIMANDED. President Seems Disposed to Stand by the Admiral’s Interview. WASHINGTON, March 2.—President Roosevelt and Admiral Dewey had a short conference to-day regarding the in- | terview of the admiral, in which he ex- tolled the United States navy and used the German navy as an illustraton of the difference in organzation between our navy and those of Europe.
