ROME, March 21.—The recall of Embas- eador Ballamy Storer from Vienna has | caused a stir at the Vatican, where Mrs. | Btorer was very well known because of her series of efforts to obtain a Cardinal's hat for Archbishop Ireland. Taking ad- vantage of her former sojourn at Mardid, Mre. Storer had induced a brother of Car- | dinal Merry del Val, the pontificel secre- | tary of state, and three other prominent | 8pantards to use thelr influence for the ame purpose. Mrs. Storer was expected here at the same time as Archbishop Ireland, who is now on his way to Rome. She asserts he recelved a promise from Cardinal Merry del Val that the Pope would confer a red hat on Archbishop Ireland, and it is | said that she wished to see the promise | redeemed. | | | In fact, it we| VIENNA, March 21—The Foreign Of- | fice was informed this afternoon of the appointment of Charles R.

COTTON MAY LEAVE | HARRIMAN’S EMPLOY :Report That Oregon At- | torney Is to Join the Hill | Legal Staff. Special Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, March 21.—From a | source belleved to be thoroughly re- liable it is reported that W. W. Cot- | ton, secretary and general counsel for | the Oregon Rallroad and Navigation | Company. is about to quit the Harrl- man service and identify himself with the Hill lines. It is sald that Cotton will become chief counsel for the Great Northern and allied roads. On the death of United States Dis- trict Judge Bellinger Cotton was ap- pointed by the President to the bench and an elaborate banquet was given in his honor by the Portland Bar Associa- tion. When he finally decided to stay with the Harriman people a return din- | ner was spread at the American Inn during the Lewis and Clark Fair. When seen this evening Cotton ex- pressed great surprise at the report | that he had joined the Hill forces and insisted that there was no truth in the | story. . —ee————— Drummer Is Arrested. Michael Schlegel, a drummer, living |at 1359 Webster street, got into an | altercation with a street track sweeper |named Frank Maguire yesterday and | was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. Schlegel alleges that the | sweeper brushed mud on his trousers. A fight ensued, in which the drummer | drew a pistol and threatened to shoot He was booked at the Mis- sion station. [ncomparable Miss Ethel BY SALLY SHARP. It hag long been sald—in whisper—that San Francisco is a little, Paris. Just why in whisper I know not, for San Francisco has sipped from Parls the dew | of Bohemia—the sweet dew that is dis- tilled from a commingling of spirits and pecples—the sweet spirit of the cama- | raderie of merging nations, nurtured un- der the sun and the stars—mostly stars— of warm-souled Callfornia. In all truth, is California new France, new Italy, new Spain, new Switerland— | 2rd last night the joy, the eff rvescemos, the ebullition of the Latin countries was blended into our blood, and it flowed warm and red and responsive. TUp at the Sequoia Club, nigh neighbor to the Cercle Francaise, the Mi-Careme was on—both clubs the hosts. And let it be said in passing-that they know how. As to the quality of the punch—which is usually taken as a measure of hospital- ity—methinks the French club had a litfle the best of it. But this morning a juster verdict may be rendered—if there be de- grees of justice. Here in this delightful home of good- fellowship ’'twixt men and women was care forgot. Merry went the dance, and gay and jest, till ninfble feet and nimble tongues a-weary grew—'twas morning. Over on Post street, where the Owl hooteth at the woes of man, the Bo- hemians, under the guldance of a charm- ing chap—Frederick Greenwood—made merry. 'Twas the one break in the long, gray weeks of Lenten passivity, and it served the mechanical usefulness of a safety valve. It was in truth a safety valve. At 19:30 Henry Blossom’s comeditta, “There’s a Crowd,” was given by the inimitable Miss Ethel Hager (who could hold a job any day in Weber-Fleld), Allan Dunn and Alfred McKinnon, two of the luminaries of the ne'er-to-dle production of Dick Hotaling’s “Shylock.” Following this—which proved to be a stunner, with many local thrusts— “The Broker and the Blonde” was pre- sented by Miss Elsle Arden, Teddy ‘Webb, George Baldwin and George Kunkel. And as a demi-basso Mac- kenzie Gordan sang with a sweetness all Gordanian. And thus in two rendezvous of the wooers of pleasure—innocent pleas- ure, whereat Mr. Langdon hath no con- cern—merry hours were whirled into the purpling past. ———— COLD INJURES PEACH TREES IN GEORGIA ATLANTA, Ga., March 2L.—Reports re- ceived from many of the peach-growing sections of the State indicate a loss of between 40 and 50 per cent from the cold of Monday and Tuesday nights.

EL PASO, Tex., March 21.—With firing of volleys by Federal troops .and music of bands, a three days’ celebration of the one-hundredth .anniversary of the birth of Benito Juarez began at daybreak today in Mexico. Throughout all the public schools of Mexico there were exercises today in honor of Juarez, who drove Maximilian from Mexico, but El Paso schoolchildren contributed the most novel feature. In a distinctively American tribute to a Mexi- can hero the children, nearly 3000 strong, marched over t.e river to Cludad Juarez. Accompanying the children were members of the City Council, the directorate of the Chamber of Commerce and members of public bodies. At the Plaza de Consti- tucion in Juarez wreaths were piled upon the statue of Juarez and commemorative addresses dellvered. The American chil- dren carried flags of both countries and sang national anthems of the two repub- lics. The army band from Fort Bliss ac- companied the procession by r,ecial per- mission of the Secretary of War. BUILDINGS AT MINE SWEPT BY SNOWSLIDE All Structures Destroyed at Mountain Queen in Colorado. SILVERTON, Colo., March 21.—News reached here today that the Mountain Queen mine was sWept by a snowslide last Saturday and all the bulldings, in- cluding the compressor-house, were de- stroyed. A force of twenty men escaped without injury. The financial loss 1s not heavy, as the company had not installed the expensive Improvements planned. The Mountain Queen is situated in California Gulch, over the ridge from the Sunny- side and Gold Prince properties. A large party of men left today on Bnowshoes for the Shenandoah mine, in Arastra Gulch, above Howardsville, to assist in digging for the bodles of the twelve miners who Were swept to their deaths by a snowslide. Still another party is on its way to Green Mountain mill to search for the body of Foreman D, R, Hickev. Considerable alarm fa felt for the members of these rescue gangs,- as they will be compelled to go over trails where slides are frequent. —_—— ‘Warnell Pleads Self-Defense, EUREKA, March 21.—J.

USRS N Ly WANTS GUARDIAN APPOINTED.—On pe. tition of Eleanor Stetson the Supreme. to effect & itallst’s in the case will heard on SLAV LIBERTY ONLY A W National Assembly Will Have but Small Part in the Government of Bussia CZAR YIELDS LITTLE Right to Voice Their Com- plaints the One Privilege Granted to His Subjeets ST. PETERSBURG, March 21.—The im- perial manifesto and the ukases of March 8, which incorporate in the fundamental law of the empire the provisions for a National Assembly in Russia, promised in the manifesto last fall, are disappointing in many respects. They constitute neither a constitution nor a bill of rights for the Russian people. They do create a popular assembly, but the promises granted to it are so hedged about wifh restrictions and conditions that it will be rather a presentment in name than in fact. Neverthelesg by the terms of the mani- festo the Emperor himself is powerless to revoke what he has now given. This constitutes the great victory which the people have won. They at last have an authoritative medfum through which they can make ‘thelr voice heard, and it is in this assembly, probably, that the histori- cal struggle against prerogative and priv- {lege will be fought out. An examination of the documents shows clearly that their purpose has been to in- trench the Government at every point against the assaults of the people. The Council of the Empire of upper chamber, as reorganized, provides for the election of only half the members, and these are chosen by the nobtlity, clergyd Zemstvos and commercial Interests, so that, with the other half directly nominated by the crown, the Government can always inter- pose a declsion of the Council as a buffer between it and the direct representatives of the people in the Douma, or lower house. Besides certain important ques- tions, notably malfeasance in office for members of the Council of the Emplire, the Cabinet, the provinclal general gov- ernments and other functionaries of the Government belonging to the three high- est ranks in the Russian hierarchy, are excluded from the jurisdiction of the Parllament and are consigned to com- mittees or ‘“commissions,” as they are called, of the Council of the Empire. The composition of such committees is restricted to the members appointed by the Emperor. The following are given as the ques- tions within the jurisdiction ot Parlia- ment: i of la peal. .ond—The budgets of the Ministers and offle\.ile empire and the ufll(llmtnls" ‘loco:g: crown mot provided by the budger in acords ance with the special regulations relating subject.” m’i‘hlm‘—‘l‘he report qf the Controller of the empire upon the execution of the budket. =~ Fourth—Matters relating to a litigation of any portion of the receipts or property of ¢ state requiring the authorization of the Em- tione relating to the publication Q;x;:h amendment, suspension or re- ror.

PETERSBURG, March 21.—The workmen in one of the mills in this city, to render the elections ridiculous, today formally chose as their delegate a pet dog called Rosa, declaring that the selection was made In a wpirit of economy, as if she should be elected 3t would cost the Government only 7 oapte a day to malintain this delegate Instead of the allowance of $5, and at the same time the dog would be quite as useful as a representative of the workmen's interests as any of their candidates who have a chance of elec- Yoo workmen of another foundry designated as their delegate the factory chimney, on the ground that it would not suffer from machine gun fire. The first appearance of anti-Jewish disorders is reported from Theodosa, in the Crimea, where a crowd broke into a synagogue and destroyed the altar and the relegious emblems and pictures. L e JEWISH EDITOR IMPRISONED. Punished for Having Reproduced the Speech of Herr Bebel. . ST. FETERSBURG, March 21.—Th Court of Appeals has sentenced M. Notovitch, formerly editor of the Jew- ish paper the Novostl, to imprisonment for one year In a fortress for the pub- lication of articles against the Emperor and the army. The principal count in the indictment was based upon the re- production in the Novosti of a speech by Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader In the German Parliament. BEFT R s RUSSIA’S GREAT NAVAL PLANS, A Hundred Milllon Dollars to Be Ex- , pended in Two Years. LONDON, March 21.—The Pall Mall Gazette today says it learns that the Russian Government has prepared a naval programme involving the eéx- penditure of $100,000,000 during _the next two years, of which amount Brit- ish shipbuilders will secure a good share. The sum of $25,000,000, the pa- per adds, has been allotted for four first-class battleships, similar to those now bullding for Japan. et RS e No Outbreak at Sebastopol. ST.

The receiving oper- ator at the local station of a wireless telegraph company, although several blocks distant from the Santa Fe of- fices, heard the Santa Fe operator call- ing “Vg,” which is the telegraph call for Las Vegas, N.

Later in the day the same operator caught the replies being sent from Las Vegas. The wireless operator then called up the Santa Fe offices and verified the messages which he ‘had re- ceived. There is no connection of any sort between the offices of the Santa Fe and the wireless company cxcepting the ordinary -telephone conaections, which are in no way joined with the telegraph instruments of either office. BOSS COX FACES THE GRAND JURY Asked to Tell of Payment of Gx:atuities to County Treasurer in. Cincinnati INTEREST ON DEPOSITS Court to Determine Nature of the Transactions on Part of the Ohio Banks —_— CINCINNATI, March 21.—George B. Cox, who announced his retirement from Republican leadership in Hamilton County at the close of the last campaign, was one of the bank presidents summoned to appear before the Grand Jury today to testify in regard to the payment to the County Treasurer of interest. or “gratul- tles” for the deposit of public moneys. The other bank officials summoned in- cluded the heads of all banks in which county funds have been deposited during the past few years. This actlon.was taken by County Pros- ecutor Rulison, following up the Investi- gation by the Drake committee of the State Senate, before which County Treas- urer Hinicka and others testified that the banks had been paying what amounted to 2 to 2 per cent on funds deposited with them, such payments being made per- sonally to some one in the County Treas- urer’s office, and that deposits would not be made in any of the banks until an understanding as to the payment of these gratuities had been reached. Checks for $25,000 and $35,000 to cover the amount of interest estimated to have been pald were yesterday turned over by County Treasurer Hinicka and former Treasurer French, respectively, both of whom promised to pay any additional amount if this was insufficient, the money to be held until the courts had decided whether it belonged to the county or to the officlals personally. —_——— WOULD-BE MURDERER DIES FROM SELF-INFLICTED WOUND Los Angeles Man Who Shot Wife and Then Himself Passes Away at Recelving Hospltal.

The officials. belleve they have a good case against the prisoner and will prosecute him vigorously. Yesterday the assistant general counsel for the railroad company visited the sus- pect in the Redwood City Jail. He was accompanied by Constable Sheehan, who made the arrest. Through an interpreter, Benzito denled that he was responsible for the attempt to wreck San Mateo cars, three of which have been made during the last month. He said that he was on his way to work. This statement is dis- credited by the authorities, who say that Benzito should have been at work in the section gang at 6:45 a. m. He says that he left the city on the 7 o’clock car and got off near Millbrae to go to his work. As he was walking away from his work instead of toward it his statement is not believed. He could not have arrived at the point where he was seen by the crew of the car which came near to destruc- tion had he been on the 7 o'clock car. All of the statements of Benzito are dis- credited, and many of them are proved false by the evidence in the hands of the raliroad detectives. Tracks from hob-nailed shoes, such as were found on Benzito, were traced in the new ballast at the scene of the at- tempted wreck. District Attorney Bul- lock of San Mateo County has the evi- dence in hand and will'prosecute the case. The railroad authorities have decided to hold the Itallan without a charge until they complete their investigation. They say they can convict him of the attempt to wreck a car Tuesday morning near Millbrae, and they are looking for evi~ dence of other attempts. Yesterday morning and last night armed detectives for the rallroad com- pany patrolled the roadway to prevent any. more dastardly attempts at wreck- ing. All of the night cars are ordered to run slow and motormen are cautioned to be alert. The United Rallroads offi- cials still cling to the theory of revengh in accounting for the attempts to wreck cars. —_—— FASTERN STEWARDS WILL ACT. Jockey Club Ofiicials Will Approve Sus- pension of Durnell and MeCafferty. NEW YORK, March 21.—Just as soon as the officlal decision of the Pacific Jockey Club stewards, who ruled C. E. (“Boots™) Durnell and John J. MecCafferty off the turf for life, reaches New York, the stew- ards of the Eastern Jockey Club will take similar action. There has long been an understanding between the officials of the East and the West in regard to rulings where fraud wag charged and proved. Both McCaf- ferty and Durnell were charged with practices inimical to the best interests of the turf, and were ruled off after an appeal had been taken against the first penalty of suspension for a year. The ruling against the men does not affect their horses. While they will never be permitted to run them, they will be al- lowed to sell them all or in part at either private or auction sale. It was repeatedly reported last fall that John W. Gates was a partner of Durneil in the latter’s stable. Inquiry at the Jockey Club’s offices revealed the fact that no partnership as demanded by the rules, has ever been registered between Durnell and Gates. The latter, it was | 1earned, loaned money to Durnell to pur- chase several of his best horses and took Durnell's notes for payment of the amount. ————— MecKensle Gives Comeert. J. W.
