SEAT7LE'S DISTINGUISHED GUESTS
Lord and Lady 8readnibune OF England
Arrive on Their Tour AronH0

SEATTLE, WASH, July 4.-Lord and
Lady Breadslbane of Taymouth, Scotland,
VINO are on a tour of The world, arrived
here last night from Vancouver, which
city they reached few days ago on the
Empress OF China.
To-day they left for San Fran
cisco, and after remaining there day or
so they will tour through the Yosemite
Valley and then go to Chicago. In that
city they will meet and be the guests of
Thomas Upton, the great tea king, who
recently subscribed s125,000 toward the
Jubilee dinner given the London poor by
the Prince of Wales.
Lord Breadalbane left home in Novem-
ber, passing the greater portion of the
winter in India. He found Japan coun-
try making rapid strides and this time
without the assistance of hardly single
European or American at the head OF any
of their big undertakings"
His Lordship, when In Peklng, had
most interesting interview with Ii Hung
Chang.
"I saw the old chap in Peking," said he,
sand he told me that the things which
interested him most in his trip around the
world were the Niagara Falls and the
Forth bridge"
'It's hard to fathom Ii" Lord Breadal-
bane continued. After my interview l
saw two big promoters-one from
this side and the other from the

carry on some great enterprise In China.
Singularly enough, each said he had OBJ
tanned this particular concession, whereas,
as a matter of fact guess Ii is too cun-
ming to let either have it"

Military Genius Rises
From the Ranks
of the Rebels.
Emilio Aguinaldo Wins Fame
as a Leader and Just
Governor.
His Aid-de-Camp a Chinaman Who
Has Not the Cowardly Taint
OF His Race.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 4.-The
Philippine rebsllion has produced great
leader and military genius among the in
surgents. This native, called Emilio
Aguinaldo, is the life and soul of the re-
bellion, and by his strategic movements
and almost impregnable defense works
has become famous through the Orient.
He has proved himself to be a capable
governor and is described as brave, gener-
GUS and honest, carrying out his word to
the last letter. 1t is said that while
other native com 10 andsrs have proved
cowardly, squeezing from the poor VII
layers contributions and taxes under the
pretense Of carrying on the rebellion, but
in reality to enrich them selves and wreak-
ing revenge on their personal enemies,
Aguinaldo has been conspicuous because
of his strict impartiaIity, probity and JUS
tice, Furnishing severely all those who
were found to be the oppressors OF the
poor.
But the most wonderful part of this re-
bellion is the heroic part played and the
distinction earned by a Chinaman. 1t is
said that Emilio Aguinaldo has for his
aid-de-c camp pure-blood Chinaman. His
Christian name is Jose Garcia Paua.
Re was EN- mployed as foreman OF an iron
foundry in Barraca, where he learned how
to manufacture cannon. When the rebel
lion broke out in Cavite, Paua went there
to get his wife, native woman, who was
visiting her old home.
There he met Aguinaldo and was placed
In charge of the casting of bronze guns,
which in this rebellion have played sad
havoc with the Spanish army, and he W as
also made Aguinaldos s aid-de-camp.
Paua is a capital shot and very brave,
betraying none of the cowardiy traits OF
his race.
He has picked out and shot many off,
GERS Of the loyalist troops on battlehelds
and is always the last in the retreat with
Aguinaldo. Such prowess, valor and cool
ness shown by an ordinary Chinaman
have aroused great surprise and admira-
ton all over the islands.

Property of Henry Miller Disposed of
Despts an Injunction.
BAKERSFIELD, CAL, July 4.-On
June % the Kern Valley Water Company.
of which Henry Miller is the principal
owner, filed an injunction suit in the
Kern County Superior Court to restrain
Tax Collector Day from selling certain
canal property valued at $37, 500 for taxes
which Miller refused to pay on an arbi-
trary assessment. The iniun ction was
denied. Miller then sued for writ in
Judge Sewall's court in San Francisco,
and it was granted.
Yesterday deputy collector sold the
property while the Sheriff was looking for
the Collector to serve the writ. Mil
ler's attorney, who was present when the
sale was made in front of the courthouse,
claimed that it should have been made in
the Tax Collectors Office. The deputy re-
paired TO the Office, where the writ was
served, but he repeated the sale there, re-.
gardless Of the injunction. Interesting
complications have thus arisen. The
matter will come up IN Judge Seawe II s
court in San Fran cisco in few days.

Scheme to Be Submitted
to the EndeaVorerS'
Convention.
Outline of a Task Undertaken
by the Evangelical
Alliance.
Crusade for the Common Good to
Be Made Throughout the
Land.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 4.-Under the
auspices of the Evangelical Alliance oi
the United States campaign in behalf OF
social reform has been begun which it is
expected will be carried on generally
throughout the country. beginning
has been made in the mining communi-
ties and manufacturing towns of Pennsyl-
vania, where DR.. Josiah Strong, secretary
of the alliance, has been working for the
past two months. DR.. Strong returned
from his initial lAbors last week and is
now on his way to San Francisco, where
he will present the scheme of the alliance
before the convention of the Christian En-
deavorers DR.. Strong said:
THE scheme is to form local alliances
in all cities and towns, in order that the
special needs of any particular community
in the way of reform may be met intelli-
gently and effectively. 1t is not expected
that the burden of this work will fall on
the pastors of churches, but upon the
young people. 1t will consist chiefly in
the distribution of literature, which the
Evangelical Alliance will prepare. Pub
lie opinion remains uneducated, although
more than 100 900 pulpits proclaim the
truth every week and tons of good reading
matter are weekly carried by the mails.
The trouble is that those who most need
preaching to are precisely the ones who
do not get ii, and those who read liIera-
ture to reform are precisely the ones who
do not need 1t. g.
DR.. Strong referred to the 4, COO 900 mem
bers of the various young peoples So
cietieS as the proper agents for distribu-
tion, and continued: Each community
could be districted and each district as
signed to some young person. To deliver
a leafet once month at each house IN
the district containing, say, dozen fam
lies, would not be q great undertaking.
The bicycle would make it en- tirely FEAST
BILE to reach the scattered houses of the
country districts, and if only one in ten OF
these young people engaged in the work
they would scatter throughout the land
nearly 60, 000 600 leaflets in a single year,
at least one-half of which would reach
fam lilies who never attend church"
With the opening of autumn the Evan
gelical Alliance will take up the matter OF
preparing various leaflets for distribution
IN the interest of good citizenship and So
clal reform. For this work the services OF
the most able writers of the time will be
engaged. In communities where foreign
population predominates leaflets will be
distributed on Meaning and Value oi
Naturalization" Rights of Naturalized
Citizens, Duties of the NaturaliZed" and
Fundamental Principles of American
Institutions" These will be translated
into every foreign language.
Dr. Strong said that the proposed asso.
Citations will be wholly undenominationa
and that all Will work Tor good govern
ment and American patriotism.

team, made trip to San Francisco on
Tuesday last to try to have the Saturda y
game called off. He told the managers OF
the tournament that three of his men
were away and would not return until
Sunday and that it would be hardship
on his team if compelled to play the
Saturday game.
The managers refused to change the
programme, and Mr.. Keegan returned
home to consult with his players. He
strongly advised the boys to withdraw
from the tournament then and there, but
after some discussion they concluded to
play as scheduled, feeling confident that
they could win both games.
Mr.. Keegan at once notified the man
agement that his nine would be on hand.
He also advised it that his business en-
gagements would prevent him from ac-
companying his team, and that he wouid
substitute Jack" Mccarthy of Fresno as
manager.
This was clearly understood and agreed
to by all parties concerned and discussed
several times.
When the Santa Rosa team arrived in
San Francisco it at once went to the Russ
House, according to arrange ments.
Mccarthy, the manager pro tenn, who
by the way, is no s'spring chicken" in
baseball matters, at once went to Captain
Young, the proprietor OF the hotel, and
asked if the expenses of their stay there
had been guaranteed. Cap tain Youngre-
piled that they had not, and teleph oned
to d. r. Mcneil at Central Park, asking
i'm if everything was all right; bu
as he could get no satisfactory answer
Mccarthy and w. II. Fisher of Santa
Rosa made a personal visit to McNeil,
Arriving at the Park they requested Nc
Neil 10 telephone Captain Young and say
that their hotel bills would be paid. This
Mcneil refused to do and referred them to
Secretary Allen. Secretary Allen in turn
referred the Santa Rosans to Mr.. Rock
we'll saying that he had charge OF such
matters.
After some further talk McNeill in
formed the representatives of Santa Rosa
that he would require them to play the
Will Il Finck team in San Francisco on
Sunday at P NJ, or that he would refuse
to- guarantee their expenses. As this
game had been scheduled for Santa Rosa
at 2 P. NJ. and extensively advertised the
Santa Rosa players all refused to sub bmit
to the unwarranted change.
As neither party would yield the point
Mcneil retired to another room, presum.
ably to study the league rules, and soor
returned and pursued O new tack. He said
that he would refuse to recognize Jack"
Mccarthy as manager any longer, and
also made the startling statement that the
| captain of the team had equal authority
with the manager on or off the diamond
and that he would do business with the
| captain only.
As it was plainly to be seen that Santa
| Rosa was not to have a fair show and thai
satisfactory agreement could not bt

men home. The Examiner of this morn.
ing prints McNeips and Aliens stories,
and quotes Allen as saying that "there has
been q complaint every time game has
been played in Santa Rosa and that
teams that have visited there claim that
they have got the worst OF the um pire':
decisions and that they were not tairly
treated in other ways" This statement
is denounced as unqualifiedly false by
hundreds of eye-witnesses of the games
played at Santa Rosa.
Jack" Woodward, the umpire OF all
of the games played, is al old-time base
ball-player, prompt in his decisions and
always fair. He is prominent business
man OF Santa Rosa and Treasurer OF the
city There has never been decision
made by Mr.. Woodward in favor of the
home team at which any objection has
been made on the grounds. Mr.. Wood
ward, when interviewed on the subject,
said:
1.-THE assertion of unfairness in to-day
Examiner is beneath my notice. My
reputation as citizen and as an mpire is
too well known to be affected by any
criticism from such a source"
Jack Mccarthy, when asked for his YER
sion of the affair, said: THE whole
trouble is that these managers, Mcneil
d Allen, are running this thing for what
there Is in it. Secretary Allen does not
know q baseball from a boxing glove,
and Mcneil less, and they depend upon
outside parties for their baseball knowl-
edge.
eff the Examiner and the other mem bers
OF the management allow such fellows TO
run skin game cioaked by their hon.
orable names, they might as well dema
their share of the profits, as they are GER
tain to share in the disrepute."
John w. Keegan, the backer OF the
team, was indignant and disgusted with
the outcome OF the affair. In reply to a
question he said: Eyes, 1 am glad we are
out OF it, II We have to stand such treat
ment. The thing is degenerating into a
perfect fake.
Il cannot understand how the Exami-
ner and the gentlemen whose names are
pinely by and allow the tournament to be
run in the interests of one or two indi-
Yiduals.
81 have been an eyewitness to all OF the
games played here, and the assertion that
visiting clubs have been unfairly treated
is false In every particular. The Keegan
Bros. team will continue to play ball
and meet all corners as before for
fun. money or sour apples, but
itself under the control of the fellows
running things now. They are trying to
make summers job out of it, profitable
only to themselves and the grounds they
control. No such unprincipled penny
grabbers can dictate to me, especially
when I'm in the right"
As stated in the outset Santa Rosa Is in
dignant and will not allow the matter to
go by default. A public mass-meetin g
has been called for Monday night and e
remonsrrance signed by 1000 Of Santa
Rosa's best citizens will be forwarded to
Mayor Phelan and those in charge.

Santa Rosa's Players
Complain of Unfair
Treatment.
Say They Withdrew Because
Imposed Upon by the
Management.
Mass Meeting Of Citizens Called to
Protest on Behalf Of the
Team.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, July 4.-Santa ta
Rosa is wild with indignation to-day over
the treatment accorded to her baseball
team in San Francisco yesterday. 1t is
almost the sole topic of conversation, and
the active managers of the tournament
are being denounced in unmeasured
terms.
Santa Rosa is proud of her baseball team,
the Keegan Brothers aggregation. They
are all Santa Rosa boys, most of them
born and raised here. They are the sons
OF leading families and are industrious,
we'll behaved young men of education
and refinement, and they can play ball.
They placed seventeen out OF eighteen
games to their credit last year and are still
undefeated in the "tourn ament" this sea-
son. Averaging less than 10 years OF age
and 130 pounds in weight they are the
heaviest batters and swiftest base-runners
in the tournament to-day, and no one
here doubts their ability to capture the
championship pennant if given a fair
show.
When they returned from San Fran
cisco last night and told of how the man.
agement of the tournament had atte pied
to give them the worst of it," thousand
base ball enthusiasts of this city arose as
one man to condemn the tournament
management and applaud the boys for re-
fusing to play ball under such circum-
stances.
Ever since the so-called tournament was
inaugurated the boys have received in
formation from time to time that they
would under no circumstances be allowed
to win the prizes offered and, thus fore
warned, the action of yesterday was
hardly a surprise.
The story Of how the Keegan Bros
team was expelled from the tournament
is briefly told. They had been scheduled
to meet the Santa Clara team in San
Francisco on Saturday and the Will &
Finck team in this city to-day. This ar
rangement Santa Rosa protested against
without avail. They considered it unfair
and unusual to be compelled to meet two
strong teams on consecutive days.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 4.-Ship-
pers engaged in the coastwise trade in
the Pacific are sending kilograms to Sena-
tors Perkins and White asking that vessels
in the coastwise trade be given a drawback
on coal imported for steaming purposes,
the same as for vessels engaged in the for
eign trade.
This is not likely to be done, however,
for the Senators say they can find no ex-
cuse for admitting coal free of DUTY for use
on steamers not engaged IN the foreign
trade.
Senator Perkins own line (Goodall,
Perkins & Coz will have to pay duty on
the coal used on vessels between San
Francisco and ports in Oregon,
Washington and Southern California,
although the imported coal burned on
the vessels between San Francisco and
Mexico and British Colum bia will be en-
titled to the drawback, as will also the
vessels of the Pacific Mail and the Oceanic
Steamship Company. The latter is by
reason of the amendment passed in the
