MRS. OELRICHS'
EYE INJURED
Struck by a Falling Tack
While Arranging
DraperieS.
Most Peculiar Accident Oc-
ours in Her Elegant
Mansion.
Attending Physicians Hops That
the Injury VIII Not Cause
Permanent Disagreement
Special Dispatch to THE CALI.

NEW YORK, Dec. Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs is suffering from lhe effects OF a
strange accident to one of her eyes, which
may necessitate painful operation. Some
workmen were engaged in hanging tapes
tries in the east parlor of her residence,
the old Paran Stevens mansion, last Sat-
urday afternoon, and Mrs. Oelrichs was
experimenting the details. One of the
men was on the top ladder when a tack
slipped from his hand and fell. Mrs. Oel-
richs was standing close by. with her face
turned upward, and the sharp point of the
tack struck her in the left eye, lacerating
it and causing intense pair.
Mrs. Oelrichs baIhed the eye and, conf
dent that the injury was of a trivial nature,
was persuaded to attend a silver wedding
that evening. Her eye, however, grew
worse, and she had to leave before the re.
ception was over.
DR.. Knapp, an eye specialist, was i'm
mediately summoned, and the family
physician was called in. 1t was found
that Mrs. Oetrichs had caught cold in the
eye, and she has been confined TO her
room ever since. On Monday the eye
grew rapidly worse, and a consulting
physician was called in. The opinion
was expressed by the doctors that the
point of the tack must have been rusty.
for the wound had become liberated, and
to-day 1T was no better.
Mr.. Oelrichs was worried by his wife's
illness, and remained with her all to-day.
Meanwhile many friends of the family
had heard of the accident and expressions
of sym pathy poured in. The physicisns
expressed the hope that she would re-
cover from the unfortunate injury with
out permanent disbursement of the eye.
This depends upon whether the liberation
can be checked.
just year ago to-day Mrs. Oelrichs gave
a reception to her friends in her beautiful
home, upon which she is reported to have
lAvished about 5000, 900 in alterations. 1t
was "house warming" ana those who
attended said that the furnishing OF the
mansion and decorations for the function
gave convincing evidence of the artistic
tastes of the late Senator Fairs daughter.
Mrs. Oelrichs and her sister, Miss Fair,
were beautifully gowned, and the recep-
ton went far TO stablish Mrs. Oelrichs as
a social leader. Since she came to Newly ork
on her wedding trip in June, 1890, Mrs.
Oelrichs has been a favorite in society
circles.

CARSON, Dec. 7.-One OF the boldeet
lynchings ever recorded IN this State
took place at Genoa, at IL O'Clock this
morning. Adam U Der, the slayer of Hans
Anderson, was taken from the jail by
masked men and hanged to a tree.
Sheriff BrokIiss who was sleeping in a
building adjoining the Jail with Constable
Gray, was aroused by knock at the door
and called out, who's thereY''
I've have prisoner" was the reply,
The Sheriff opened the door, and the
moment he did so he was covered by q
half-dozen rifles and six-shooters and
told to give up the keys. A couple of EN-
brushed past him and covered the Con-
stable with their weapons. One man in
the party appeared to act as their spokes-
man, and demanded the keys as the side
door from the Recorders Office was being
smashed in with sledge. The Sheriff
gave up the keys, anu they at once un-
locked the Jail, and going to Uber's cell
unlocked the door and hauled him out of
bed.
The prisoner was aroused from sleep by
the noise at the door and the light streams
ing on his face. he was thoroughly
frightened and begged hard, but the
iynchers stripped him naked. and then
binding and gsgging him marched him
out Of the jail. The night was cold, and
when he reached the air shivered and
cowed and begged for covering, but his
captors were relentless and dragged him
along with blows aud kicks over the frozen
ground. He yelled "Helpl Murderp' as
he was taken from bed, but made no
sound after the gagging.
The six men who first overpowered and
captured the officers still remained with
them, but after the prisoner was brou hit
from the jail about twenty more persons
Joined in and drove Uber along the road.
There were about twenty-five in all. The
mob had burst in he door of the Sheriff's
office leading from the Recorders office n
the county building with a sledge ham,
mer. The six men who had the Sheriff and
Constable under guard made them follow
the gang which was taking Uber to his
death.
The line of march led up to Boyd's lane,
where there was a large cottonwood tree
with a branch overhanging the lane.
There appeared TO be a leader of the
lynching party and he ordered the rope
placed about Uber's neck. This was done
and Uber was told to say his prayers. He
knelt on the ground and while he was
praying the rope was thrown over a limb
and in a minute from the time he knelt
the gang was pulling on the rope and he
was drawn up nearly to the limb. He
writbed and struggled like wild animal,
and died in eat agony viii he life was
slowly cnoked out OF him. After be was

Hilborn Points OCT Lack of War
ships as an Argument Against
Annexation.

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-Congressman s. D,
Hilborn, Third District OF California, lee
tured at the Kent Theater, University of
Chicago, tonight. Several years resi-
dence across the San Francisco Bay from
Mare Island and two terms of service on
the Committee on Naval Affairs and Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds enabled him to
tell the students a number Of things they
did not know about the United States
navy.
Mr.. Hilborn lectured under the direction
of the Political Science and History Club,
and his effort was a strong argument
against any attempt at annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands, at least till our strength
on sea is greatly increased. The Ameri-
can navy, he declared, contained only four
first class fighting battIe-shIps.
He put the Maine and Texas in the Sec
ond class, and not rating well at that.
Two armored cruisers sixteen other cruis-
ers, fifteen gunboats, six double turreted
monitors, fifteen single-turreted moni-
tors. twenty torpedo-b boats and three or
four other boats constitute the fighting
power of the United States.
"The great want OF America is more
fighting ships more battle-ships, more
monitors, more torpedo-boats and DOCKS"

GERMANYS NAVAL BILL,
Vigorous Opposition to the Gov

the Radical Leader.

spoke in opposition 10 the naval bill,
which was before the house on first read
ing, dwelling upon the serious increase of
expenditure for which the bill provi des.
He commended that the great display OF
power made in China proved that the
Government considered the navy equal to
the task imposed upon it. Germany's ex-
ports, he continued, had made unexpected
strides in spite of the alleged lack OF
cruisers. The speaker expressed the op1n-
ion that the protective duties were more
harmful to Germany's trade than could
be balanced by the benefits derivable
even by the greatest feet. The bill. Herr
RIGHT er asserted. was not Tor seven years,
but for eternity, and created conultlon
which the con I1nued ADVANCE OF teSunieai

outlined in the semi i-otficial Relchan-

Wood was shown copy of The CALL

ing against the appointment of Judge Nc

about it. He said in substance:

would be far easier TO say pleasant things
OF him, and more polite. When 1 was in
California in October there was a general
sentiment against the appointment as a
very weak one, unjust TO the President
himself. but those expressing themselves
were afraid to have their opinions come
to Judge McKenna's ears and considered
open opposition hopeless. l notice in the
interviews one gentleman who was then
adverse to but now favors him. Several
who were clear in hostile criticism decline
to cypress an opinion.
The opposition to Judge McKenna.
though he may be loath to believe it, is
honest and spontaneous, and 1t only
weakens Judge McKenna's cause to
ascribe petty motives to his opposition,
and attempt to explain adverse action by
some contemplate personal feeling.
What explanation is to be offered for the
adverse opinion of Judges Bellinger or
Ross, or. as can be real between the lines
of their interviews, Judges Morrow and
De Haven? A cause is a bad one that
has to ascribe to honorable men dirty mo-
tives.
THE California papers belittle the
office of the press If they support Judge
McKenna only because he is Californian.
The place is conceded to California, and
there are plenty of men there against
whose selection not a word would be

PORT AU PRINCE, HAYn, Dec. THE
| refusal of the United States to interfere in
| the quarrel between Germany and Hayti
humiliation of the latter country. Hayti
has accepted Germany's condition that
ind emnity be paid, and has apologized bv
saluting the German flag and German
warships in the harbor.
Citizens of Hayti are very much dissat-
| isfed over the outcome, and there is in
tense but suppressed excitement here.
| German residents have taken refuge on
German vessels, while the English are on
Atlas Line steamers here. There are no
American vessels in the harbor, though h
the Marblehead is expected. and Ameri.
can residents have placed themselves
under the protection of the American
Minister and have taken all their most
valuable property to the legation for safe
ke sping.
1t is understood that the question of
the indemnity demanded by Germany for
the alleged arrest and imprisonment of
II err Lueders has been settled to the sat
| isfaction OF Germany, and that all de-
m ands of that country have been agreed
| to by the Government of Hayti. This was
done In the face of the display of force
made by Germany, and under the threat
of bonn bardnent of the defensive works
of the port unless these demands were
agreed to within eight hours following
the time the German ultimatum was de-
livered yesterday morning. shortly after
the arrival at this port of the two Ger
man cruisers sent to back up the de-
mands of tine German Minister here.
The first part of the settlement took
place at 6 o'clock last night, when the
Havtian fleet formally saluted the German
flag from the flagship OF the feet of Hayti,
the Crete A. Pierrot, a small vessel armed
with few guns OF light callber.
Admiral kllick, the Haytian COM
mander, had charge of the formal salute
of the German flag While the flag of the
repub ic was being dipped on the Crete A.
Pierrot, the band of the Haytiln navy
played the German national anthem and
the Haytian flagship fired twenty-o one
guns, which were answered by the German
flagship. the Charlotte, which is used as
sch oolship.
The second part of the settlement took
place this morning, when Count Schwerin,
the German Minister to Hayti was for
mally and pu blicly received by the Hav-
tian President. The latter, it is under.
stood has assured the German uthoritIes
that summary justice will be promptly
meted out to those officials of Hayti who
caused the estrangement between the re-
pu blic and Germany.
Naturally there is strong feeling Of
resentment against the Government on
account of the humiliation inflicted upon
the country by Germany. but it is not
thought anything more serious than
ministerial crisis will result.

men.
Prince Henry of Prussia viii visit
Prince Bismarck at Fredrichsruhe to-
morrow and will spend several hours with

views on the Chinese situation.
PEKING, Dec. THE Chinese Govern
ment has caused il to be made known that,
up to the time of the German occupation
Of Kiao Chau Bay, no claim was made
by Germany for reparation as a result of
the murder Of the two missionaries. Mes
and Hennle. and that there were no other
differences between the two governments.
Consequently the Government officials
point out that the missionary question is
regarded as a pretext to obtain naval
station, which it is shown Germany bas
long coveted. The Chinese Government
1t is said, in conclusion, will never consent
to the Germans remaining at Kiao Chau
Bay, their presence there deprives
China of a harbor which, since the war
with Japan, has been regarded as the most
f~suitable naval base of operations.
LONDON, Dec. 8.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says: On Friday last
Captain Becker. with 21o German ma.
rines, left Kiao Chau Bay to occupy the
surrounding villages, whence they pro-
ceeded to capture the city. The Chinese
forts opened fire and the Germans re piled,
killing three of the garrison, which there
upon fed in disorder.
The Chinese general in command was
captured, but afterward liberated. Sew
eraI German sailors were injured by
stones fang by The inhabitants of the viii
lage. In return for this the head men OF
these villages were beaten with BAN boo
sticks by order of the German com N ander.
1t is reported here that China is will
ing to pay an indemnity of 1000, 900 taels
(about $785, 250) and to grant all the Ger
man demands including the temporary
cession OF Kiao Chau Bay and ad joining
territory.
A dispatch to the Times from Peking
confirms the report that China, hoping
for the evacuation of Kiao Chau, agrees
unconditionally to all demands OF Ger
many.
The Times, dealing editorially with the
situation at Kiao Chau, notes that the
foregoing telegram enumerating the Ger
man demands, does not include the per-
manent occupation of Kiao Chau, and
points out that the evidence is conflicting
as to whether this was officially de-
manded.
1t says: "In any case, now that the
other demands have been conceded, what
will be the grounds for insisting on per-
manent occupation? The double success
in Hayti and China, demonstrating the
especial value OF a stron feet, ready to
act at short notice in any part of the
world, will probably give a coup dc grace
to the declining opposition to the naval
biIl''
DR.. Stuebel the German Consul at
Shanghai, has been ordered to go to Kiao
Chau and establish regular German ad-
ministration.
The Kolnische Volks Zeitung says that
the coal deposits in the province of Shan
Tung, which will become available to
Germany with railway and mining con-
cessions, are most valuable.
