It was announced from Friedrichs- ruhe on Saturday that Prince Herbert | Bismarck was seriously ill and that | contradictory reports had been in cir- culation for some time regarding his condition. According to one version | rince’s condition was hopeless and inal cancer was hinted at. An- other report said the Prince was merely suffering from ptomaine poisoning, due to eating bad fish while in England several months ago.

'Cobb (R.), 75,594; HENRY ROBERTS FOR GOVERNOR Probably Will Be Chosen on the First Ballot by Connecticut Republicans | PLATT IN THE CHAIR Senator From the Nutmeg State Compares Records of the Two Old Parties| OSSP G HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 13.—The Republican State Convention met to-| night with United States Senator Or- ville H. Platt as temporary chairman. The indications are that Lieutenant Governor Henry Roberts will be nomi- nated for Governor to-morrow on the first ballot. In second place Rollins S. ‘Woodruff will be named. The other places on the ticket prob- | ably will go as follows: Secretary of State, Theodore Bodenwein; Controller, | Azel A. Mitchell, A. J. Mussey or Charles Bissell; Treasurer, Willlam E. | Seeley, the present Controller; Con- ressman at Large, George L. Lilly. 'he entire fight centers on the head | of the ticket. | On taking the chair Senator Platt said: | It ‘the voters of the country are earnestly | seeking an answer to the question as to which | or the great political parties should receive their support it is surely to be found in the history of the last twelve years. Twelve years ago the Democratic party came into full power in the Government. It proceeded at once to { put its policy into force and from that very hour a blight fell upon the nation. Crippled business, vanishing opportunities, rising dis- content, impaired national credit, increasing internai disorder, ever-growing unhappiness, marked as with successive mile stones tha progress of Democratic administration. That even lower depths of uncertainty, want and loss were not reached we attribute to the act that its President was better than his party in all respects but one. The Democratic party was imbued with the most vicious rad- icalisms. Grover Cleveland, with all his faults, was conservative. The Republican party won the election in 189¢ and commencing with that very hour pros- perity returned. Speaking of the two opposing candi-, dates, he ridiculed the suggestion of an ! “unsafe candidate,” saying: Unsafe! Who have been his advisers? Who stand as his supporters and admirers? Let me name three of them—three whom all men honor, all men trust—Elihu Root, John Hay, William H, Taft. Is the man unsafe who se- | lects such advisers? | i £A SRS CHEERS FOR ROOSEVELT. | Locomotive Firemen Loudy Appluudl Name of the President. | BUFFALO, Sept. 13.—The public| meeting held last night in Convention | Hall by the Brotherhood of Locomotive | Firemen of America, now in convention | in this city, wound up in a demonstra- | tion for President Roosevelt. The hall | was filled. | Grand Master Hannahan of the! Brotherhood was just drawing his ad- | dress to a close and he had called at- | tention to the fact that a New York| newspapers had criticized the Presi- | dent because he had accepted an hon- | orary membership In thé Brotherhood | of -Locomotive Firemen. I “Let me say,” said the grand master, | “that’ if the President of the United States or any -other of its citizens does nothing worse than'accept membership will neither | merit the ill-will nor deserve the cen- | sure of any of his fellowmen. | “If the rest of the public and par-| ticularly those who are entrusted with the direction of our Government and the management of the nation’s great- est enterprises would do as the Presi- dent and meet us upon a common level there would be fewer strikes and less strife and more of peace and good will | in the industrial world.” i “What has the President done for| u?” shouted a man. H The President,” the grand master | replied, “has proved to the organized | workingmen of this country that he| has an interest in their welfare by ac- organization of men whose faces are begrimed by smoke and dust and daily | | and hourly face the gravest dangers.” | An outburst of cheering followed. | During the demonstration the men on the stage sat silent.

CHICAGO, Bept. ~18.— Former United States Senator Thomas Carter of Montana, now a World’s Fair Commissioner, was at the Republican national headquarters to-day. He said his State was as certainly Republican as Ohio. “If the Democrats are planning to carry Montana they had better save their trouble and time,” said he. “It is certain to go Republican.” Irrigation legislation, said the for- mer Senator, had made Mr. Roosevelt theusands of friends in the semi- arid regions, as well as in the Bastern States, mong home-seekers and home-makers, who would have a chance to take up this reclaimed land. g Stokes and Black May Be the Nom- inees for Governor.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 13.—The interna- State Is Completed and the | tional jury on wines finished testing the vintages of California this afternoon. The members were busily at work all day vesterday and most of to-day on ' the wines of the Golden State. From all | indications California wine producers have cause to feel jubilant. It is felt ' by those watching the interests of the ! State that California will carry off | higher honors than she has at any pre- vious exposition. They make this/ statement direetly. | A few days ago the situation looked | gloomy, and for a time there was a| possibility that California wines would | be withdrawn from competition alto- | gether. The old protest.of France| against wines of any other country bearing the names of districts within her borders that had made her own| wines famous was renewed. The jury, | composed mostly of foreigners and | of Frenchmen, was in favor of | | | sustaining the protest. Henry Lachman, the juror from San Francisco, reached here Sunday night. | A long conference was held immediate- | ly after his arrival between some of the | French jurors, Superintendent Haber | of the California wine exhibit and| Lachman. Many points of dispute were | amicably settled. The jury this morning honored Cali-| fornia by electing Mr. Lachman its| chairman. M. Kester, who was presi-| dent of the Paris jury which threw out | all California wines because they bore | the names of French districts, was | chosen vice chairman. Lachman’s stand in favor of Califor- nia wines won a victory for the State | and settled the point regarding labels. | The concession was made to Califor- | nia that as long as the wines bearing| typical French labels also bore the | name California so prominently that | there could be mno possible deception they could be entered in competition. The jurors finished their work weH satisfied and showed utter impartiality | in dealing with California. Among the | Frenchmen on the. jury are men known throughout the world in the wine trade. They are Calve and Guestien, twe of | the biggest shippers of: Bordeaux; Kes- ter of Paris, Buhan and Schyller of Bordeaux and Foucauld, Farne, Laporte and Broquet_of Cognac; Signor Ruoff of Ttaly; Dr. Basserman Jordan, the Rhine wine expert of Diedesheim, Ger- many, and Mesquita and Pintso of Lis-| bon. The American jurors ,are Lachman, Leej Vanco of New Yofk; W. B. At- wood of Blackberry, Va.; Judus Schul- ler of Indianapolis; John Ludwig of Winona, Minn.; W. H. McNeall of St. Joseph, Mo., and E. Dubois of* Talla- hassee, Fla. Vance will depart for California Sat- urday as the representative of the American Wine Association to confer with California growers concerning her wine and food laws. The awards here are being made by classes and not varieties, which is an | cepting an honorary membership in an | 2dvantage to California. EXPERTS TALK ABOUT FREIGH —_— - | Railroad Men Give Evidence at Investigation Into the Charges of Denver People SRR DENVER, Sept. 18.—Interstate Com- merce Commissioner Charles A. Prouty to-day continued the investigation be- gun yesterday of complaints of alleged discrimination in freight rates by the railroads against this city. Evidence was submitted by local manufacturers and merchants in support of their con- tention that rates on some commodities from Atlantic Coast points are higher to Denver than to San Francisco and that Missour! River cities are granted lower rates than Denver to interior Colorado points. 5 The following officlals were in at- tendance to-day: ‘Willlam R. Kelly, general attorney of the Union Pacific; J. A. Munroe, freight tariff manager of the Union Pa- cific; J. B. Kelby, assistant attorney of the Burlington, and D. O. Ives, general freight agent of the Burlington, all from Omaha; George H. Crosby, assist- ant general traffic manager of the Bur- lington, and P. F.- Dunne, attorney of the Southern Pacific, San Francisco. Attorney Dunne conducted the exam- ination of witnesses. Under examination Traffic Manager Munroe of the Union Pacific explained that Missouri River points were espe- cially favored, because that section was the great distributing point east and west and the railroads must neces- sarily make a rate basis at those cities; that Denver had a contributory terri- tory of 100 miles to the east, but that lack of population kept tae jobbers and manufacturers here from selling all their product. “The Union Pacific Railroad cannot afford and never has tried to build up Missouri River points to the detriment of points west,” declared Munroe. ‘Willlam Sproule of the Southern Pa- cific, William B. Biddle of the Santa Fe and George H. Crosby of the Burling- ton, freight experts, were questioned regarding the reasons for the higher rates to Denver than to t Lake and other points west of this city. It was shown that while Denver paid $2 24 a ‘hundred pounds on cotton piece goods The | Salt Lake paid only $2, while ts to China were for 31 10. dis- crepancy was ati ted by the rail- road men to the need of ballast on some roads and to operated ships, for w] —ptie.

ROBBERS FIND LITTLE BOOTY Safe of Rock Island Train Held Up in Towa Did Not Contain a Cent of Money POSSES AFTER BANDITS Bloodhounds on the Trail of Desperadoes, Who Are Be- lieved to Be Railroad Men DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 13.—Ex- press officials say that the five bandits who perpetrated a successful holdup of the passenger train on the Rock Island near Letts shortlv after midnight this morning secured no money, though the safe was blown open and the contents taken. They aver that the safe con- tained merchandise of some value, company papers in transit, etc., but no money. Three special trains on which were posses of railroad and express company employes and a number of officers were rushed to the scene of the robbery im- mediately upon the receipt of the news, going from Muscatine, West Liberty and Davenport. Horses were procured in the country surrounding Columbus Junction and in that town, near which point the robbers left the railroad. Mounted men with bloodhounds are scouring the country in every direction, while all trains that pass through Co- lumbus Junction or nearby points are being carefully -inspected by officers to ascertain if the bandits are undertak- ing to escave in this way. The en- gineer and fireman of the train fur- nished pretty accurate descriptions of the three men. The robbery occurred at the end of a sharp curve, exactly where a similar holdup was engineered two years ago by the Chicago car barn bandits. The engineer, as the train rounded the curve, saw a red lantern on the track Immediately the engine, express: car and baggage car were boarded by the robbers, ap- parently five in number. A fusillade of shots was fired along the sides of the train to prevent in- terference by passengers. The mes- senger of the express car was com- pelled to open the door and the car safe was dynamited and the contents taken, after which the engine crew was compelled to return to the pas- senger coaches. The engine was cut off and the robbers mounted it, ran it west through Letts and to within two miles of Columbus Junction, where the en- gine was left standing on the track. The manner in which the robbers handled the engine, their knowledge of the fact that Letts was a closed station at night and the selection of a point contiguous to Columbus Junction to abandon the engine convince the offi- cers that the robbers, or some of them, are experienced railroad men. Two packs of bloodhouhds are work- |ing upon supposed trails of the rob- bers. The one near Columbus Junction struck a trail three hours after it was made by the robbers. A message re- ceived from the posse states that the hounds are following the trail and going in the direction of the Delta, upon the Mississippi, where the coun- try is overgrown with stunted timber. | splendid chance '|GIFTED YOUNG STAR CAST TO SING YVONNE f— MISS DORA DE FILIPPE, WHO | WILL SING YVONNE IN “THE | SERENADE." *- . 4 Dora de Fillippe Will Appear at Tivoli Opera-House in “The Serenade.” ‘When Victor Herbert's melodious comic opera, “The Serenade,” is pro- duced at the Tivoll next Sunday night one of the most delightful features of the cast will be Dora de Fillippe as Yvonne. This gifted young singer has established herself as an immense fa- vorite, and it is worthy of remark that some of her greatest trilumphs have been accomplished when she has been pitted against formidable artistes who have had superior opportunity. It is therefore naturally expected that the afforded by Yvonne will result in the greatest triumph of her San Francisco career. - Miss de Filippe will sing the waltz song, “Cupid and 1,” and will be heard in the duet, “Gaze on This Face so Noble,” with Andrew Bogart, whose debut on the operatic stage will be made in “The Serenade.” She will also have several other lyric opportunities, and the satisfaction of having sung the prima donna role in the greatest cast the opera has ever had in this city. —_———— It is best, to settle a quarrel without any outside interference.

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Sept. 13.— While having sport with a tenderfoot in making him believe he was experi- encing a sure enough hold-up, George Reed, a stockman, was shot and killed by Night Patrolman Robert S. Cayou at_a late hour last night. Reed was about 55 years of age and when on periodical sprees was given to practical joking. He has had trouble with the police on other occasions. Last night, to scare a gnewcomer named Hamlin, Reed flourished a gun and told Hamlin to throw up his hands. Hamlin was scared but ran and told his tale to the police. Officer Cayou saw Reed about sixty feet away and or- dered him to surrender. In reply Reed fired a shot. The officer returned the fire, two of three bullets taking effect, killing Reed instantly. Cayou thought he was firing at a highwayman. —_——————— A Carload of Trunks. A carload of trunks and dress suit cases just received at a saving of 50 per cent in freight. Now is the time to buy.

HELENA, Mont.,, Sept. 13.—The Democratic State convention will con- vene here to-morrow morning to nominate a State ticket. It is con- ceded that Gevernor J. K. Toole will be renominated by acclamation and that his friends will be in full con- trol of the convention. Secretary of State George M. Hayes also is likely to be renominated without serious op- position, but there are several candi- dates for each of the other offices. There is some talk of fusion with the Populist and Labor parties, but no definite movement to that end has so far developed. The delegates now on the ground appear to be In- different in regard to fusion. ——————— CONTEST IS EXPECTED. DENVER, Colo., Sept. 13.—While the renomination of Governor Pea- body by the Republican State conven- tion here to-morrow is a foregone conclusion, surface indications point to a contest over the indorsement of the Governor’'s actions in connection with the labor troubles. Delegates headed by State Semator Newell, who is a candidate for the Gubernatorial nomination, advocate a law and order plank, but disapprove any indorsement of the deportation of strikers from their homes that have taken plate.
