He stated also that German physicians, | who examined her Majesty, pronounced a very unfavorabie opinion, expressing the belief that she could not survive more than a year. Watannabe stated that the news had | caused consternation in court circles at | Peking, but was unknown to the public generally there. The diplomatists of the powers, however, have learned of the the BEmpress and of the désease. The probability of the aged woman's early demise naturally enough has ex- cited alarm, for in all but in name she is the unyleiding ruler of the empire. Her death may easily be the opening wedge for extraordinary changes in which a greal part of the civilized world may be involved. — e Former Actress Dies in London.

SYRACUSE, Sept. 7.—Believing that he intended to assassinate President Roose- velt, the police this afternoon arrested John Miller, 35 years old, as he was leav- ing his home, supposedly to go to Han- over Square, where the Prestdent was re- viewing the parade of the National Asso- claticn of Letter-carriers. The evidence upon which Miller was arrested was supplied by Mrs. Philip Smith and her 15-year-old son, who testi- fied that they heard him declare: “I am going' to shoot the President.” Although no weanon was found on him, the police believe Miller intended to carry out his alleged threat. While there is much secrecy maintained about the case at police headquarters, it 1s asserted that the authorities have been on the watch for Miller since yesterday morning. They was not until this afternoon that they caught sight of him, Secret Service men aided in the watch, and from the number of men detailed on the case it was con- sidered to be of considerable importance. Miller is married and has four children. He Is a German. ————————— Emperor Rebukes the Uhlans.

Dr. Dalby was in California for his health when he was taken suddenly worse. When told that he was doomed he drove to the railroad station and took the first train for home. So near to death was he on_the road that the conductor telegraphed to have an undertaker meet the train. Dr. Dalby’s strong will triumphed and he arrived here alive. Unable to speak, but smiling in his. pain, he was taken home, where an hour later he expired. He had cancer of the stomach. .

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET N. W, WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Because he made insulting remarks in the presence of the wife of a brother officer, First Lieu- | tenant Louis McLane Hamilton, Four- teenth Infantry, a son of Dr. McLane Hamilton, of New York, has been sen- tenced to dishonorable discharge from ser- vice in the United States army. The find- ings in the case have just reached the War Department and have been reviewed by Brigadier General Davis, judge advocate general. They will be forwarded to the President for approval. Géneral Davis had not had an opportun- ity to read the papers in the case and de- clines to discuss their contents. Every effort has been made, and thus far with success, to keep secret the name of the officer in the presence of whose wife Lieu- tenant Hamilton used improper language. The lady was in no way implicated in the affair and there is a general desire to keep her name out of the case. It is alleged that Lieutenant Hamilton was intoxicated at the time he magde the remarks, but this cannot be verifi t the ‘War Department.. The affair océurred in the early summer, in the Philippines, where Lieutenant Hamilton is now sta- tioned, but details of the trial and its re- sult’ did not leak out until the papers in the case reached the War Department. Lieutenant Hamilton has many friends in Washington and this fact and the promi- nence of his family, both here and in New | York; has aroused keen interest in Genera] Davis' recommendation and the Presi- dent’s final action in the case. .

Mrs. Ed Russell, wife of a mining man, was passing along in the crowded street at the time and received a stray bullet in one of her thighs, but the wound is not serfous. Godat was carried to a hospital | and'is being cared for by surgeons, but | they do not think he will live. Brown and Godat had quarreled at Soulsbyville, five miles from here, several | months 2go and their falling out was bit- | ter. Godat left the place and went to Ari- | zona, leaving his family at Soulsbyville. It was not believed he would return, but he came back to the county to-day and | arrived here during the celebration of La- | bor day. He said to some of his friends | that there would be trouble when he und Brown met and the threat was carried to Brown, who prepared for a hostile meet- ing. ‘When the shooting occurred Mrs. Godat sprang between the men and tried to stop the fight, but she was pushed aside and | ‘was not seriously-hurt. | devotea | speakers. 'LUorkin:gmen in JSolid Ranks. = Best Pt_zra'de Fver Seen in City. ABOR DAY has come and gone and with its passing one fact stands out in bold outline. It is evident that the unions of San Francisco comprising more than one-third, of the male adult population of the city, have enjoyed a season of unexampled in- crease and prosperity. There were between 20,000 and 25,000 men in line by actual nt. cou This number does not by any means represent the total! strength of the local unions, nor will the estimate be satisfying to the labor leaders, who claimed nearly twice as many In line. But the actual figures gathered by men experienced in such matters and who all their. time to tallying the marchers give slightly under 23,000 fmen in line in both parades. The wild estimates made of previous pe~ rades, when shorn of their exaggerations, as small will show a very much than this and the se in the repre- sentation, appearance and interest that marks this year's turnout cannot fail to r number re. give encouragement to the friends of or- ganized labor. Oakland unionists made a noble show= ing, placing that city among those which own the sway of organized labor in every | department of manual work. NOTABLE ADDRESSES. The literary exercises at the Chutes in this city and at Shell Mound were remark- able for the loftiness of thought and the conservatism of utterance by the various Apparently the day of the blatant agitator in laboring circles has passed. Among all the addresses there was not an utterance that savored of radicalism. The speeches were dispassionate statements of the high fundamental purposes of trades organizations of such erudite character as to do credit to college presidents or educated students of deep sociological questions. That they were the product of men who have made their living by the work of their hands speaks volumes for the educational influences of trades union~ ism. Of the men composing the unions who took part in the various exercises of the day no praise can be too high. They showed in every action the influence that fair wages and liberal hours have had on them. They evidenced the dignity which a clear appreciation of their own impor- tance in the industrial fleld has disclosed to them. They indicated a realization that, having assumed a position of im- portance, it was their duty to maintain it properly and that any lapse was not an individual matter, but a collective in- jury to their low toilers. IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY. No finer body of men of equal numbers was ever seen anywhere. They were the toilers of the people, but nothing of de- pression or oppression w: visible any- where. Permeating every division, every line, every individual among the great mass was that indefinable air of supe- riority that accompanies industry and prosperity. They were typical of the best in manhood that the earth has to offer— the Western American workingman. As far as tke present industrial pros- perity overshadows the conditions of past years so far did the parade of yesterday surpass that of previous Labor days. Be- tween the present and past performances on the part of organized labor there was no comparison. In numbers the turnout exceeded that of last year; in appearance it was in every way superior. Dm}ne:lva uniforms of attractive design and “appro- priate to the various crafts were worn by the different bodies fof the most part. There was no motley assbmblage of un- labeled toilers. Each division, each trade was readily recognizable. Impressive beyond the power of expres- sion was this display of craftsmen who constitute the productive power of the city. It was a revelation not enly to those who give scant thought to indus- trial conditions, but even to the men tak- ing part In the display. Such sterling manhood and strength, physical and men- tal, as was shown bespeaks a force great- er than that which in past uays has made and unmade empires and totally changed | political and social conditions.
