BERLIN, May 9.-While reviewing the
troops in the field at Temple Ehoter to-
day, the German Emperor ordered the
principal officers of the Imperial Guards
to gather around him, when he addressed
them as follows:
Il have been seriously disappointed in
the patriotism of the late Reichstag. l
hope that the coming Reichstag will adop.
military bill, but if it should refuse to
adopt 1t, am determined to carry bill
into effect despite unpatriotic opposition.
L know, myself, that I am at one with
the federated princes and the people,"
The Emperor's concluding words, in
addressing the officers, were:
II felt 1t necessity to tell you candidly
my decision as told you my hopes when
the bill was first proposed
The officers maintained an absolute
silence, although they were evidently in
deep sympathy with the Kaiser's views.
Ihe speech is causing enormous excite
ment among the people. 1t appears in

with unusual emphasis, pausing at every
word in order to convey the sense of his
determination to abide by his declara-
tions.
There is profound and widespread
impression that the Emperor would not
hesitate to risk a conflict with the new
Reichstag should it prove hostile to the
bill.
The leading men in German politics,
who have heard of the Emperor's speech,
now consider that he has embarked on
policy OF Russian high toryism and that
the changes in the Freisinnige party, to
bring about moderate liberal era, have
vanished
The tendency of the public is toward
the conviction that the Emperor is point
ing straight for the goal of Prussian re-
actionaries, and he will not shun con-
tlict with constitutionalism. A CORE
spondent of the Associated Press was
assured officially this evening, however.
that the Emperor did not wish his speech
TO be menace to the Reichstag, or as
challege to a conflict. ''On the contrary
said the informant, "his majesty desires
the most scrupulous adherence to con-
stitutional reforms. He feels quite
strongly, however, the urgent need of re-
forming the Reichstag. He cannot gov
ern with the Reichstag split into ten
political parties. Few things would
please the Emperor better than consoli-
dation OF the parliamentary factions into
two or three large parties, with whom he
would be able to reckon in determining
his policy. Then he would be happy to
govern in harmony with the parliament
ary majority"

SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.-William I,
Morgan, capitalist and well-known real
estate man, shot and killed himself at 2;3O
O'Clock this afternoon in the Parrott
building, 5l2 California street. The bull
let passed through the heart, and death
was instantaneous.
The deceased came from st. Louis here
in 1884 and was very successful in busi-
ness. He organized the William I. Nor
gan Company, corporation. At the
time he killed himself he was President
OF the Belvcdere Land Company.
n few years ago he married the grand
daughter of Milo Hoadley. Upon the
death OF her grandfather she inherited all
his wealth.
It's believed that the suicide was caused
IN consequence of troubles in the land
company mentioned.
Morgan had prepared for death if the
pistol failed to kill him. In his vest
pocket was found package marked
poison.
The deceased was only 35 years of age
ana one Of the most popular men of the
town. He is presumed to be a million
are, but the conditions of his affairs are
not known now.
The dead man leaves a wife and one
daughter to mourn his loss. He also has
relations in ST. Louis. He was interested
IN SO many great enterprises that
1t Is presumed some of them have surely
collapsed.
AT 10 o'clock to-day he was in the Office
OF the California Title and Trust Com
paDy and seemed then in his usual health
and spirits.

TURF TOPICS.
THE KENTUCKY DERBY TO BE
RUN AT LOUISVILLE.
Six Horses to Fight For the Much
Coveted Prize-Speculatiou as to
the Winner To-Day.

LOUISVILLE, May 9.-That classic turf
event, the Kentucky Derby, will not be
run over fast track tomorrow. Three
days of rain put the track at Churchill
Downs in bad condition, but the sun
came out to-day, and the wind began to
blow, and if there is no more rain the
track will be fair. In all probability
there will be six starters, and they will
be ridden as follows: Lookout, Kunze:
Buck McCan, Thorpe; Linger, Martin;
Boundless, Geometz; Plutus, A. Clayton;
Mirage, Isaac Murphy.
Which of them is the best is a question
to be asked. 1t is pretty hard to answer,
not because none of the five or six
starters is a mud lark, but because all
of them are more or less fond of
a heavy track. If there were no mud
horses in the race, Cushing and Grth
would probably prefer heavy going, as
Lookout and Boundless have demon
strated that it does not stop them, but, as
the others are equally good or better in
the mud, they would rather see dry
track.
Buck McCann comes of mud stock, and
if the distance is not too far for him, and
he does not give it up in the stretch, he
ought to have no trouble in heading the
others safe. One thing is certain, how
ever, Scoggans' have their heart set on
winning the race. The reputation of
their great sire, Buchanan, is at stake.
He has the name of getting only sprinters,
and Scoggans could afford to give double
tho of tho fol 10 tn
Plutus likes mud, and he has no obiec-
ton to rain. The stable is trifie mys-
terious about him, and it is hard to
obtain any information except as to his
general condition. No one, outside of
his trainer, owner and rubbers, have seen
him work better than 2:424, but the i'm
preston prevails that he has covered the
distance in at least six seconds better.
Linger won his stake at Lexington in
the mud. The distance was mile and a
sixteenth, and the weight ninety-four.
and go three-sixteenths farther. This
will probably stop him.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Officials of the
State Department tonight confirm the
predictions heretofore made that ex-
Representative Blount would be ap-
pointed Minister resident to Hawaii. 1t
had been supposed that Minister Stevens
would remain in charge of the legation
until the oath of this month, at which
time he had announced his intention of
sailing for San Francisco. 1t is not
known that Stevens has been instructed
to forthwith turn over the legation to
Commissioner Blount, who has been ap-
pointed his successor. There is reason to
believe that Stevens will not be allowed
20 remain in charge of the legation until
the 24th inst, because of his activity in
behalf of annexation.
1t was further stated at the State De-
partment that Bowen and Sewall, who
went to Honolulu shortly after Com
missioner Blount's arrival, are active in
their efforts to stimulate a sentiment on
the islands in favor of annexation, and
there is reason to believe they sought TO
create the impression in so doing that
they were representing the President.
Secretary Gresham has informed BIount
that the President repudiates everything
said and done by these gentlemen.
1t VIII be remembered that Sewall was
an applicant for the position Of Third
Assistant Secretary OF State under the
present Administration, but failed to Sc
cure the appointment.

Ing justification of the court outside of

OF many that at the time of nv wife's
death L desired marriage with some other
woman. Such a person was never found.

reasons, all sentiment or love aside, for
desiring my wife to live as had. She
would have brought me money and pro-
fesslonal success. She would have graced

habit it would have been my happiness
to shield and cure her. May God in

CEREALS AND FRUITS.
Condition of Crops Throughout tt
State,

SAN Francisco, May AT meeting
of the State Board of Trade Secretary Le-
long of the State Board of Horticulture
reported that the prospects for fruit in the
State are exceedingly good. The outlook
for prunes, cherries, apples, pears and
grapes is good and for peaches and necta-
rines fair. There will only be medium
crop of almonds and that of apricots will
be short. Bartlett pears in some sections
will be failure. At the upper end Of
the Russian River Valley fruit will suf-
fer on account of the lack of rain, not
withstanding fifty-two inches have fallen
in that section.
w. II. Mills summarized the situation
in regard to wheat as follows: All crops
in the country lying east of the Sac
mento Valley and in Butte County will
be failure, owing to the continued cold
and foggy weather. Twelve days of sue
cessive rain had made the ground exceed
ingly wet. The usual volunteer crops,
on account of the late spring and wet
weather, would not be harvested. On
the west side, below Willows. the wheat
crop would be very poor. In the whole
Sacramento Valley there would not be
gathered more than one-third the usual
crop of wheat. In the San Joaquin Val
ley the wheat crop would be good, and
in the Santa Clara and Salinas Valleys it
would be full

CHICAGO, May 9.-As soon as news of
the trouble in the affairs of the Chemical
National Bank became known on the
Worlds Fair Grounds this morning
anxious crowds gathered around the
branch of the bank, which is the official
bank of the Worlds Fair, and located in
the Administration building. The doors.
however, were tightly closed, and nobody
could learn anything as to the prospects
of getting money, though simultaneously
with the notice of the difficulty in which
the bank was placed it was said deposit
ors in the branch bank have been fully
secured.
1t was quiet crowd, most of the de-
positors being Americans, but some
foreign depositors animadverted some
what severely on the exposition manage
ment for giving official sanction to a
bank, which they took for a guarantee.
1t appears some foreigners deposited in
the main bank down town, which com
plicated matters.
The record-union., 1893-05-10

As anticipated, the main bank was also
closed. The capital of the bank is ST.
100000. 1t had deposits of something
over 100000. It is expected the deposit
tors will be paid in full. The bank is not
a member of the clearinghouse. The
failure had no effect in financial circles.
Poor judgment in making loans and the
monetary stringency are the causes of
failure.

clare the management has done nothing
to make the Worlds Fair responsible for
