THE PRINCE OF WALES.
He May Soon Become King Edward
VII. of England.


VII. of England.
LONDON, Sept. 3d. Queen Victoria's
rheumatism is worse. At the present
time her majesty of England goes up and
down stairs in litter and is rolled about
her rooms in vehicle which resem bles
an enlarged baby carriage Specialists
say it is rheumatic gout. Rumor suggests
that is dropsy, and those people who
know everything insist thatit is varicose
veins.
The Queens illness brings prominently
to the front again the question. Will not
her majesty abdicate in favor of her son,
the Prince of Wales? The court gossips
say that on the 9th of November next the
birthday of the Prince of Wales, the an
nouncement of her majesty's retirement
will be made in favor of her eldest son,
who will be acclaimed as Edward VII
This assertion may simply be hope,
which is father to desire, but it is certain
that such an act on the part of the vener-
able lady, who for fifty seven years and
more has been the nominal ruler of the
mighty empire upon which the sun never
sets, would be extremely popular and
earn the most unqualified approval among
and from all classes of her subjects,
whether Scotch, Irish or Canadian.
Queen Victoria Is TS years old, an age
when one can well understand that she
might be only too willing to free herself
entirely from all trammels, even of such
feeble responsibility as the British mon
arch now possesses. The Prince OF Wales
is 53, and, therefore, no longer young, and
so 1t is about time he had some taste of
his natural heritage.
A court presided over by man who is
so thoroughly esteemed at present by his
countrymen, and would continue to be so
by his subjects, with a Queen who is
justly regarded as the most beloved Prin-
cess in Europe and by the young Prince
and young Princess of Wales, provided
with future Prince of Wales in the shape
of healthy and robust baby, would
really give an impetus to trade and revive
social gayety to an extent which has
not been enjoyed in England since the
days when the Queen and Prince Consort
were a young married couple with a
nursery full of toddling infants.

STOCKTON, Sept. 30.-Grove L. Johnson,
the Republican nominee for Congress
from this district, spoke to large audi-
ence in Masonic Music Hall last night
Great preparations were made to receive
him, but the heavy downpour of rain,
which lasted from the forenoon till 8
o'clock at night, prevented the carrying
out of any Of the plans. The committee
had arranged for big procession, with
brass bands, the Estee Drill Corps and
other political organizations
When Mr.. Johnson arrived it was rain
ing hard, and instead of being met by a
big crowd ofpeople with yells and bonn bs
he was greeted by few members of the
committee, who escorted him to his hotel
in carriage. Despite the rain, bonfires
were lighted and the noise of bursting
bombs announced that there was a meet
ing in progress. Mr.. Johnson stated at
the outset in his remarks that Uncle Sam
was sfck and that four doctors had ap-
piled for the job of curing his intirmities
These four doctors were the Democratic,
Republican, Populist and Prohibition
parties. The rest of his'speech was taken
up in explaining the record of each of the
four parties and showing that the Re-
publican was the proper one to act as
doctor.

RWBRR BOUND TO PLAY iPoKER.
Newspaper Men, Out of Cash, Put Up
Brains for Stakes.


Poker has been played with every
thing from pea beans to hundred dollar
bill, but, perhaps, the most curious COM
modify that was ever passed about over
the green cloth occurred the other night
among party of newspaper men.
Somebody suggested the evening hours
would pass more quickly If all hands in
dulged in the national game. Every one
was willing, but when an account of stock
was taken it was discovered that there
was only about 81 80 in the crowd and
every one objected to playing for "windn
After little discussion someone had an
idea, which he put in these words: Lets
appoint a committee of two to act as
Judges, then for an hour let us each sit
down and write short stuff for the Sun
day paper. Everything that the commit
tee agrees upon as being good enough to
be printed shall be accepted as cash and
can be paid in as equivalent for stack of
chips"
This idea met with instant favor, and
for an hour or more nothing could be
heard in that room but silence. At the
end of that time each one produced his
quota of alleged interesting stories, and
the committee to which it was submitted,
reading it all with a lenient eye, passed
nearly the whole lot.
Then the game began and furnished the
curious spectacle of men opening jack
pots for quarter of column and ante

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-A dispatch to
the World from Rome says: A high &C.
clesiastic dignitary was to-day asked by
an Associated Press reporter with regard
to the changes in the administration of
the Catholic Church in the United States.
He said:
sit is quite true the Pope is preparing
document concerning the United States.
The document will deal with the general
position of the church in the United
States. 1t also discusses the Washington
legation. Instead of passing through
the intermediary of the Prefect of the
Propaganda, Mgr. Satolli would refer
matters to the Pope direct The question
is rather question of form than SUBJ
stance. especially as the Pope has already
authorized Mgr. Satolli to judge large
number OF cases which formerly would
have have to be submitted to the Propa-
ganda. AS to the assuming, as Mgr.
Kean says, that the Pope will transfer the
administration of the church to Wash
ington, the idea is absurd. The situation
may be summed up in these terms: The
Pope wishes to maintain and strengthen
the delegation, but Mgr. Satolli certainly
will be recalled

WASHINGTON Sept. 30.-The Chinese
Government after delay of more than a
month, has finally ratified the treaty
with the United States, providing for the
exclusion of Chinese laborers from this
country and recognizing the validity of
tke Geary law and other statutes relating
to Chinese immigration.
The official notification of this impor-
tant action has been withheld under cir
cumstances exceedingly mystifying to
the State Department. The news of the
ratification of Tsung Ii Yamen, Imperial
Council for Foreign Affairs, leaked out
through unofficial sources. The action
of the Chinese Government was taken in
secret. and is known to only few OIL
cials here, who have been guarding the
information with great care to prevent
its being made public in advance of a
formal exchange of ratifications, which,
it is now feared, may be long postponed.
A strong impression has been created in
the minds of those officials of the Ad-
ministration who have closely observed
recent developments, that China is anX-
lous to hold the exclusion treaty open as
long as possible. in order to influence the
course of the United States during the
war between China and Japan.
The treaty was ratified by the Ameri-
can Senate August 18th, and the Chinese
Minister was notified forthwith. Al
though initial steps in its negotiation
were taken by Minister Yank Yu, it was
generally recognized in this country that
the new treaty was necessary to proper
enforcement of the Geary law, especially
in the matter Of registration of Chinese.
Negotiations were pursued energetically
by the State Department, and favorable
action of the Senate followed.
Close upon the declaration of Pacific
| Coast Representatives that the treaty was
acceptable to California, official notice of
the Senate's action was forwarded to Pc
kin, where the treaty was taken up for
consideration, and after careful exam
| ination ratified. Under ordinary circum-
stances ratification would have been
made public Immediately, but about that
time the Chinese-Japanese quarrel as
sumed serious aspect, and the attitude
of foreign nations became subject of
deep solicitude at Pekin.
Diplomats here are awaiting with much
expectancy the efforts they believe China
will make to induce the great powers to
interfere in the war. In case the United
States is invited to take part in an arbi-
tration there the observers will not be
surprised should the Chinese exclusion
treaty figure prominently in the negotia-

HARRY KNOX INDICTED.
Charged With Conspiring to obstruct
the Mails.

Charged with ConSpiriug to Obstruct
the Mails.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30-A day of
wrath is coming to many of the unfortu-
nate men who participated in the great
railroad strike. They lost the battle.
MANY of them lost their positions and are
now face to face with starvation. and
many of them were imprisoned, yet the
United States District Attorney and the
Federal Grand Jury have determined to
add TO their misery by prosecuting them
for conspiracy, delaying the mails and
violating the law against trusts.
The Federal Grand Jury was instructed
10 investigate the strike several weeks
ago and indict the law breakers, whether
masters or men. 1t has toiled without
ceasing, and as result of its labor the
jails will soon be full of eX-strikers
awaiting trial. At the end OF the first
week the Grand Jury presented sixteen
indictments, another batch followed two
weeks later, and on Friday last forty
were presented. Thus far the Grand
Jury has charged seventy men. who are
now in custody or out on bail, ana 1t ex-
poets to charge at least thirty more.
Harry Knox, the popular leader OF the
Sacramento strikers, is among those who
were indicted on Friday, and 1t is proba-
bic that Roberts, the Oakland leader,
will be indicted before the close of the
current week. Knox lives in Yolo
County aud last week the Populists there
nominated him as their candidate for
Sheriff. He found himself without en-
ployment when the strike collapsed, and
he is now the star in dramatic company

HOOPA VALLEY RESERVATION,
An Immense Tract of Land to be

SAN Francisco, Sept. 30.-C. c. Dun
can, an inspector of the Department OF
the Interior, whose official duties consist
OF the inspection of agencies and schools

The past week has been spent in Hoopa

Indian is to be allotted twenty acres of
tillable land and forty acres of pasture
land-a total of sixty acres. Among the
