Why do they not try to stem the porular prejudice?

The jingoes not only object to England fraternizing with Germany, but are determined to prevent Germany fraternizing with anybody else.

BERLIN, Nov. 11.—King Alfonso will leave Berlin for Vienna to-morrow after six energetic days with Emperor | William, hunting, reviewing troops, dining and dancing with German Prin- cesses. In two days’ wild boar and stag shooting in the great preserves near Hanover the Spanish King killed forty-one wild pigs and thirty-five other pieces of game, or three more than the Emperor, who took care to let“the largest animals fall before the King's gun. The youthful spirits and boyishness of King Alfonso made a sympathetic impression. He has apparently not | made a single error In placing persons ! properly and saying the right thing, { but to do so he has had to spend an hour dally with the court marshal, who supplied him with careful notes on | every person likely to be presented. Thus the King was able to remind Em- bassador Tower that he had formerly been an attache of the American lega- tion at Madrid. —_————— STUDENT RIOTS AT MADRID ARE NOW BECOMING SERIOUS Authorities Decide to Close the Unl- versity Unless the Disorder ‘Is Immediately Stopped.

The disorders are the outgrowth of a decision of the faculty of the Univer- sity of Madrid expelling a number of students for insubordination. At e~ lona the university is closed and the police are guarding the student quar- ters.

DANCE ON THE ISLAND. A party of young Alameda folk, who had attended a dance on Goat Island Friday night, became lost in the fog on the bay, and not till dawn, after several narrow es- capes and much discomfiture, did th_e bells give them bearings. Fog on the Bay ALAMEDA, Nov. 11.—Lost In the fog in an open boat on the bay, nearly wrecked on Goat Island and almost run down by ferry steamers was the thrill- ing experience last night of a party of young people from this city who at- tended a ball at the Yerba Buena naval training station. They succeeded in making a landing at the Oakland mole early this monr ing- after their little craft, which was in tow of a launch, had blindly vo: aged around Goat Island and down the bay south of the Alameda mole. When the badly frightened passengers were taken ashore they were benumbed from exposure and two of the wemen were 111 to-day as a result of the try- ing ordeal. Among those who went through the perils of the trip were Mrs. Fred Wag- ner, the Misses Park. Mrs. Gus Wag- ner, Miss Hazel Wagner, Bert Mar- shall, Harry Hintz, W. J. Lewis, Harry Gardenier, Harry Cathcart and Harry Johns. After enjoying the dance, which ended at midnight, the Alamed- ans boarded a cutter in tow of a launch and started for the Oakland mole, where the party planned to catch a late train for this clity. Dense fog obscured the lights on the slip, but the launch captain believed that he could .make the landing safely. When the launch had been running for half an hour it dawned upon those In — S ks Spectal Dispatch to The Call WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—In the omce} AND DRIFTED ABOUT TILL DAW TWO MEMBERS OF ALAMEDA PARTY WHICH, AFTER LEAVING A DANCH ON GOAT ISLAND FRIDAY NIGHT, LCGST BEARINGS IN FOG ON THE BAY of the chief of artillery to-day Prince Louis of Battenberg’s statement that his fleet could lay New. York City in ruins was recelved with more amusement than anger. One of the ranking officers of the big gun service said that from where the Prince’s ships lay in North River wooden vessels with old smoothbores could spread destruction’ in the streets of New York, “but,” this artilleryman added, “how would his Highness and his men-of-war ever get there?” And then he told of the defenses of the city. L3 Before the British ships could get with. in double range distance of the forts on the south shells from mortar batteries at Fort Hancock would be falling on their decks. The mortars have a range of 13,000 yards—more than double that of heavy rifles on shipboard. As Prince Louis’ ships came nearer the heavy guns of Forts Hancock, Hamilton and Wadsworth would pepper the vessels’ steel sides, and with the much more accurate fire possible from land than from sea the chances are that no ship would survive to get within la range that would allow the dropping of a shell into the city. “If the Prince tried the other route through Hell Gate he would find the pass- age well named,” sald a general staff ar- tilleryman. “Forts Slocum, Schuyler and Totten would give him a fiery reception.” WEST POINT, N.

The launch was then headed south, and on crosging the path of the ferry- boats two of tlle big steamers swept by and it was only by a few fee: that they missed colliding with the launch and its tow. Through the hours of the night the launch navigator floundered about in the fog, unable to get his bearings and fearing serious mishap at any moment. The party in the cutter was scantily protected from the damp and the chill and the misgivings they felt added keenly to their discomfiture. But the tide was kindly. no rock lurked where the boats drifted. When with the dawn . the fog signals began to sound to guide the ferry steamers, the launch headed with its tow for the nearest bell and there in the thick the Oakland mole depot loomed up. A landing was soon effected and, with nerves unstrung and shivering in the cold, the merrymakers of the night before clambered on the Alameda train in baste for home and hot breakfast.

Folzer. 307 Pasadena ayenue, and Dorothy Wheeler, 499 Agate street, clad in male attire, were arrested by Police Officer Couts this noon as they stepped from the train arriving from Los Angeles. The disguised damsels were taken to the police station. On being quizzed they admitted they were girls, and that they had run away from home for the fun of the thing. They were alone and Mad no friends in San Diego, so the Chief held them at the office and wired to the police authorities of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles police asked that the girls be sent north, promising to have an officer at the depot to meet them. They were escorted back to the Santa Fe de- pot and sept north on the train leaving just one hour after their arrival im San Diego.
