RsE Benedict Piccardo, the Italian Pro-
fessor of Classes, Crosses to
the ReyoHd

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 14.-Rev Bene-
dict Piccardo, ST., died at Santa Clara
College yesterday afternoon. He was a

MAY FALL HEIR
TO QUEENSBERRY
Sholto Douglas Plans for
the Future of His
Descendants.
Should Children Bless His Home,
They Must Be Born on
British Soil.
Cause for the Hasty Trip of the Eng.
lishman and His Wife to
Vancouver.

PORTLAND, Or, Feb. IA. - Sholto
Douglas and wife few days ago, says to-
days Oregonlan, passed through Portland
on their way to Vancouver, where for the
present they are settled, and it is said that
the object of the trip was to avoid having
an heir born on other than British soil.
Gossip had it that such precaution was
necessary to avoid compromising any
rights of son and heir should Sholto
ever be brought in the line of succession.
The assertion that an heir to the Mar
quisate of Queensberry must be a native
born Britisher was apparently fortified by
the hurried removal of Douglas and his
young American wife to British Column
bia There are some peculiarities of the
old English common law relative to the
rights of succession, such as gavelkind. by
which the youngest son instead of tue
eldest is the heir, but such requirement
as that which is ascribed to the Queens
berry succession is unknown to those
familiar with the common law.
The sisters of Lady Douglas, Miss
Helena and Miss Madge Adds, are at
present in this city filling an engagement.
They are intelligent and attractive girls
and take considerable interest in the
Douglas FAMILY, with which they nave be-
come connected through the accident of
marriage. Miss Helena Adds yesterday
gave an explanation of Sholto's trip to
Victoria. She said:
THAT story is partly true and partly
untrue The reason, believe, why Lord
Douglas moved to Vancouver was because
he preferred not to have a child of his
born upon American soil. You know he
has been rather unkindly treated by the
American press. They will remain in
British Columbia for time-until he has
made some money-and then he and his
wife intend going to Germany, where his
mother is living. Lord Douglas is his
mothers fayorite son. and she has been
anxious to have him and my sister come
and visit her. She has always written
very kind letters to LORETTA

TAc0MA'S CUBAN, ,SYHPATHizERS.
Spanish Flag Dragged Through the Streets
BY Workingmen and Then
DESTROYED by Fire.

TACOMA, WASH, Feb. 14.-About 200
workingmen paraded the business streets
in the rain this afternoon, trailing in the
mud Spanish flag. The crowd assem-
bled at the corner of Twelfth and Pacific
avenues, where several speakers made in
fammatory addresses, denouncing Cano-
vas del Castillo. the Prime Minister of
Spain, as q villain, assassin and despot.
and protesting in the strongest language
against the cruelties practiced in Cuba
and the Philippine Islands.
Resolutions were read in which regret
was expressed that Canovas could not be
put under the same torture as his hench-
men, Lieutenant Portas and Judge Mario,
have put Asheri MolIas, Simhe Mas and
the other $50 unfortunates now moaning
in the cellars of Mont Jinish Castle.
Then, amid groans, Kisses and jeers, the
Spanish flag was ignited and burned, men
trampiing on the last of it as it was being
consumed.
Among many of the bystanders the
whole affair was regarded as a huge joke,
but the participants, many of whom were
well known, were decidedly in earnest.

RICHEST STRIKE
At RANOSBURG
Ore Yielding Six Thousand
Dollars in Gold to
the Ton.
Discovery Made in a Mine That
Was Regarded as of Little
Value.
is Owners Were About to Bond L
With Two Others at a Nom.
inal Figure.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. Ia. The
most intense excitement yet created by a
discovery in that camp of marvels-
Randsburg-has followed little desul-
Tory investigation by one of the owners of
the Monkey Wrench mines, which de-
veloped ore capable of producing $4,000 of
gold TO the ton. On the day of the strike
the mine was visited by over 500 people,
all anxious to get specimen OF the rock,
which the generous owner permitted each
one to take away with him. The discov-
cry was made on location fled upon a
year ago by Oren Osborne, j. L. Osborne
and Louis Maynard. They believed it a
good claim, but had not done much work
on it, nor had they ever found much
float on Its surface.
The Osborne boys were in the office of
James 2. Mccarthy at Randsburg last
Wednesday, and were about negotiating a
bond on the J 1 C, Big Wedge and
Monkey Wrench properties. The princi-
pal value was believed to attach to the
former two, and the Monkey Wrench was
simply thrown in to complete the group.
While waiting for the papers to be made
out. J. l.. Osborne took a stroll across to the
mines, which are on the hill north of the
town.
In going up the hill he found piece OF
rock weighing, perhaps, two pounds, with
gold visible all over it. He then traced
up tue hill some 800 feet and found the
ledge almost on top OF the ridge and facing
Garlock and the valley below.
The vein shows only about four inches
on the surface, but widens 10 double that
width at a depth of three feet, which is
the greatest depth attained. The ore Is
fabulously rich ana shows very coarse
gold-the coarsest, in fact, of any yet
found in the camp.
A bond for fifteen days was given on
these properties some time ago, and they
were reported sold by Attorney Shinn,
but the sale was never consummated. Al
the time of this strike John Crawford hello
written agreement to sell them at g
stipulated price, but he generously re-
leased the owners from the agreement.
Crawford did, however, buy Louis May
nards one-fourth interest in the Monkey
Wrench and Big Wedge for $1,000 on the
evening OF the day on which the strike
was made. This claim adjolns the Wedge
mine, owned by Rogers, Pepper and Allen

Fitzsimmons appears to be in even

some weeks ago, and weighs about 1S5
pounds. He expects to take off about six
pounds in training.

There has been considerable talk in the
Eastern newspapers as to the Kangaroo
lander having dreamed that he had
licked" Corbett, and that previous to
each of his big fights he always had the
result announced to him while sleeping.
This Fitzsimmons denies, but he says
that twice on his trip West he has dreamed
that he had beaten the champion.

and Yale are again united. After weari-
some period of secret negotiations, the two
universities have reached a definite under
standing, and for five years at least the
crimson and the blue will contend on
water, track and field, just as they did in
the good old days before the breach was
made in the summer of 1895. The final
agreement directly resulted from the visit
of Walter Cam of Y ale to Dr. William A.
Brooks Jr. of Harvard, Saturday evening.
After several hours conference these two
delegates of the athletic interests of the
two leading universities signed the follow
ing agreement:
"It is hereby agreed by and between the
Harvard Athletic com mittee and the Yale
athletic management that there shall be
annual contests in rowing, football, base
ball and track athletics between the repre-
sentative organizations of Yale and
Harvard, beginning March 1, 1897, and
ending March /, 1902, the details OF these
contests to be left to the managers and
captains. 1t is also agreed that all con-
tests with the exception of rowing races

that the net gate receipts shall be equally

shall be referred ali disagrcements In any

Yale is to be definitely informed of the

on or before March l, 1897. If the race for
1897 is arranged YRle is to have the privi-
lege of naming either .Poughkeepsie or
New London for the race of 1898, the races
of succeeding years to be governed by tue
main body of this agreement. If the race
for 1897 is not arranged that failure shall
in no wise affect the general agreement,
and the place for the race of 1898 shall
then be governed by the terms OF the gen.
eral agreement"
The announcement of a five years
agreement with Yale has filled Harvard
with ioy. Graduates and undergraduates
at Harvard square are deligh ed with so
satisfactory an agreement. The captains
of the baseball teams are especially
pleased.
