EULALiA ATTENDS CHURCH.
In the Evening the Catholic Club
Give Her Reception.

NEW YORK. May 2S.-Her royal High
ness Princess Eulalia arose this morning
refreshed after day of absolute quiet, but
still looking rather pale. Promptly at
;45 the Princess left her apartments and
started on the way to the cathedral. The
avenue all the way was lined with people
anxious to get look at the Princess. At
the church the crowd gave way for the
party as it appr cached, preceded by the
Old Guard, under command of Major
Sloane.
The royal party was escorted to the
front OF the church and the Princess and
her consort were given chairs Immediately
in front of the first row of pews. There
was no special deviation from the regular
mass and the music was not prepared par
ticularly efor the occasion Father
Lavelle, who celebrated the mass, well
coined the Infanta and Prince Antonio to
the United States in the name of the
Catholic church and the people.
After the service the royal party were
escorted back to the hotel by the Old
Guard. Later in the day the royal party
took drive through the park and re-
turned to the hotel for dinner.
The reception rendered the Princess by
the Catholic Club tonight was a tremen-
dous success. The apartments Of the club

FIELD IS WEARY.
Run1or That the Justice
VIII Resign.
WALLACE'S NAME RAISED.
1t Is Said That His Prospects to
Succeed the Aged Jurist
Are Good.
WALLACE'S NAME RAISED.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The rumor is
again revived that Justice Field will retire
from the United States Supreme Court
bench this fall. 1t is not known just what
authority there is for this report. but it is
pretty certain that several eminent law
yers believe there is something in the
rumor, and are trimming their sails ac-
cordingIy Gresham's name is frequently
heard mentioned in This matter but his
appointment would be cut of the question,
as it is generally believed that if Field
should retire his successor would come
from the Pacific Coast region.
Although Senator Dolph of Oregon is a
Republican, some of his friends affect TO
believe that he might be appointed. Poll
ties should cut no figure in making those
judicial appointments, they say, and cite
Harrison's appointment of Justice Jack
son Democratic).
It is altogether probable that the visit
here of W. G. Wallace of California had
something to do with Fields contem-
plated resignation. Justice Field knew
that Wallace was expected to arrive in
Washington, for he told The CALI. corre-
sDOndent at the time of the Supreme
Court decision In Chinese cases that Wal
lace would be here.
When asked whether Wallace was COM
ing on public or private business, Justice
Field did not give any direct answer. II
is pretty certain that he had been In cor
respondence with Judge Wallace, but
whether it had anything to do with his
prospective retirement from the Supreme
Court is. OF course, merely speculative.
Judge Wallace called on the President
while here. and he may have said some
thing on his own account or for some OF
his friends.
Whether Justice Field retires in the i'm
mediate future or not. it is pretty certain
that he will not hold on much longer.
Field is quite an old man, and has been on
the United States Supreme Bench thirty
years. After the court had adjourned for
the session, on May 15. Justice Field said
my dear wife, my work is over. We
can go to New York now"
This might have meant that his work
was over for the season and that he pro-
posed visiting New York. On the other
hand he might have meant that his court
work was over for all time and that he
would go to New York to live. 1t is well
known that he has some property interests
there and that Mrs. Field is fond of New
York City as place to live.
In short, while there is 10 authority for
making the broad statement that Field
will retire soon. yet circumstances poin t
strongly in that direction and 1t is more
than probably that Judge Wallace knows

RELIGION AND LUCRE.
MuSselman Webb Has a Scheme
on Foot.
He Proposes to Create Colonies of
His Fellow w-Moilammedans From
India in America.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

NEW YORK. May 2S.-It now turns out
that Alexander Russell Webb the United
States Consul. who four years ago en-
braced the religion of Mohammed and
who represents the Mohammedans in the
United States, returned TO this country for
other reasons than those he has already
stated. In an interview to-day Webb
confirms the statement that he represented
large number of Mohammedans, who are
planning to emigrate from India to the
United States. and that they will probably
form colonies in several OF the Southern
States.
For some weeks past Webb has been in
communication with large property-hod-
eTs in the South, notably in Georgia and
Florida. He has secured figures on large
strips of land, and has already reported
these prices to the syndicate of Moham-
medaDs, who, from religious and financial
motives, are interested in the movement.
Webb has no doubt that the colonies will
actually be established.
1.-The idea of the Mohammedans," said
Webb, was to form in every town and
city OF the United States circles to study
the great religion of the Indies.
Their purpose. however, was not 10
seek converts. but to soften the prejudice
OF Christians in America against the Mo-
hamm edans. Already three circlesEhave
been established, two in New York City
and one in Woodbridge, n. j.
There seemed to be such fair and
honorable reception already accorded the
religion that the colonization plans were
fastened and the contemplated purchases
of land were simply the taking of time by
the forelock. Our plans have gone so far
as the preparations for laying out towns
and farms. l secured for such purpose an
option Of $4,000 acres in Georgia and on
seven or eight other tracts equally as
large. l believe that within five years
there will be about 5000 active, able-bodied
Musselmans settled in the first colony"

Nicaraguan Trouble May Lead to a

official information that the Nicaraguans
desirr the United States to establish a pro-

DIR. Guzman is of the opinion, however.
that such will be the ultimate issue under

The Nicaragua Canal project, he says,

Nicaragua's interests will be greatly en-.

HIS PLANS FAILED.
Crushed by Defeat an Ex-Mayor
Ends His Life,

CHICAGO, May 2S.-S. C. WheelwrIght,
ex-Mayor of Tacoma, WASH, committed
suicide at his room at the home of Edwin
Williams, at 1886 Groveland avenue, a
week ago last Thursday light. This is con-
ceded by the relatives this evening. in the
face of the Coroner's verdict that death
was accidental.
His friends and relatives in this city at
tempted to keep the facts of his death
from the public. and his less intimate
friends were told that he died suddenly
from natural causes. On Thursday, My
IS. the Coroner was notified of the death
by w. E. Wills. nephew of the deceased.
and an inquest was held the same day.
Only the relatives and the Williams fami-
ly were present, and the proceedings have
been kept secret.
Mr.. Wheelwrjeht had lived at the house
for several weeks. On the evening of
May II, when he went to his rooms, h e
was restless. and his actions were peculiar.
He left the house fer a short time and
when he returned he went directly to his
bedroom. The next morning when he was
called for breakfast there was no response,
The door was forced and the dead body
was found. Wheelwrigtl;'s actions for sew
eral weeks have been. peculiar and his
friends believed his mind was failing.
The long spell Of despondency ended only
by death was caused BY his financial in
ability to carry out leng- planned scheme
OF establishing in Chicago Washin gtonjan
club, the object of which was to accommo-
date those citizens of the State of Wash
ington who became is nembers while
VISITING the exDOsition
He had in part carried out his plans, but
failed before they were completed. AL
ready large number Of most prominent
men In Washington had become members
and had paid the fees. Failing in his plans
after they had been so sar advanced, ana
compelled to disappoint those whom lie
had solicited to become members, he be-
came despondent and; took his own life
with cbloroform.
Several acquaintances of the deceased
when seen tonight repeated the story that
hs had been very despoEdent for some time
