DUCHESS OF TECK DEAD.
PASSES AWAY AT HER HOME
AT WHITE LODGE.
The End Came Entirely Unexpect-
ed But Two Hours After Un-
dergoing an Operation.

RICHMOND Eng.), Oct. 2.-The
Duchess of Teck, cousin of Queen Vic
toria, sister of the Duke Of Cambridge,
and mother-in-law of the Duke of
York, died at the White Lodge here
this morning.
The death of the Duchess was en-
tirely unexpected. 1t was supposed
that she had entirely recovered from a
complaint which caused her considera-
BILE suffering.
Inquiries made to-day at White
Lodge, the residence here of the Duke
and Duchess of Teck, show that when
the Duchess returned from the north a
few days ago there were slight symp-
toms of a recurrence of the stranguIat-
ed hernia, for which she sustained an
operation in July last, but it was not
expected that any serious conse-
quences would ensue.
On Monday, however, the Duchess
became ill, though even then no Sc
rious symptoms were observed. But on
Tuesday she became worse, and the
London specialists who had previously
operated on her We're summoned to
Richmond. They held a consultation,
and decided last evening that the life
of the Duchess could not be sustained
without another operation. This was
successfully performed, but the Duchess
gradually sank, and died at 3 O'Clock
this morning.
An official statement has been issued
to the effect that the Duchess of Tecll
died of cardiac two hours after the
operation was performed upon her.

a great many people who can afford
luxuries, and it appeared to be the
general opinion that as the superior eX-
cellence of our canned fruits became
better known the demand for them
would increase, as that class who like
good things and can afford good things
would insist on having them whether
the price per can should be two marks
or three marks. AS bearing out this
idea, a gentleman who recently opened
a depot for California products in the
city of Berlin, the capital of Germany,
and the center of German wealth and
German aristocracy, reports that his
trade in canned fruits is increasing at
a very gratifying rate.
Germany imports a great many dried
apples from America, but they go most
ly from States east Of the Rock Noun
tains.
WINES.
California wine has found a lodgment
in Germany, though most of those deal
ing in it thus far, as nearly as can be
ascertained, obtain their supplies
through New York houses. Our sweet
wines especially the better grades, they
admit, compare favorably with the IA
vorite sweet wines Of Spain and other
European countries, and it is the gen.
eral belief that a business can be done
in that country in this line of goods.
Our dry wines are objected to as being
too heavy to suit the custom OF the
country. The German likes to drink
his wine as he does his beeT-lnduiSe
freely, and generally without feeling
any present or sfter bad effects. Stlll'
the flavor and purity of our wines go
far to commend them, and as among
so many people there are many tastes
there is no reason why we should des-
pair in the effort to constantly enlarge
the demand there for this line Of our
products.
What is true of our dry wines is true
of our brandy; the only objection urged
against it that I heard was that II
contains too much alcohol.
SALMON.
Germany imports a great deal of
fresh salmon from this coast, notably
from the Columbia River. The re-
ceipts of this article at Hamburg last
year aggregated about 5000, 600 pounds.
1t goes through in cold storage and is
in great favor there. The tariff on
canned salmon is the same as Oh caH-
ned fruit, and hence the importatlons
are limited. Some little finds its way
into that country however, but mostly
by way of England and through the
English importers.
HONEY AND BEESWAX.
In honey and beeswax we are doing
some business with Germany, and can
do more if the trade is pushed little
A Mr. H. Scherpel, late of San Fran
cisco, opened out in Hamburg this sum-
mer as buyer and importer of Cali
fornia products. and he informed US
that the first business he did was to sell
a carload of California honey.

SINGLE TAX BARRED Orr
BY a Section of the Delaware Co
stituti0n Adopted by the COnventio

BY a Section of the Delaware Con-
stitution Adopted by the Convention.
The constitutional convention at Dover,
Del, yesterday, in committee OH the
whole adopted by vote of 20 to 5 a sec
tion which prevents the legislature from
adopting the single tax system even should
it be inclined. The votes in the mega
tive were cast by Messrs. Horsey, Donohoe,
Johnson, Martin and Pratt, all democrats.
The section adopted is follows:
"In all assessments of real estate for
taxation the value of the land and the value
of the buildings and improvements there
on shall be included, and in all assess
ments of the rental value of real estate for
taxation the value Of the land and the
value of the buildings and Improvements
thereon shall be included, and in all as
sessmentS Of the rental value of real estate
for taxation the rental value of the land
and the rental value of the buildings and
the improvements thereon shall be in
cluded. The. provisions Of this section shal
apply to all assessments of real estate or
the rental value thereof for taxation for
state, county, hundred, school. municipal or
other public. purposes"
In the debate Of the question Mr.. Martin
said the method OF taxation should he left
to the legislature and If the people wanted
single tax they should be allowed to have
it, He moved an amendment to the effect
that the constitution should remain as ii
is at present on the subject of taxation,
but the amendment was lost.

MED by his attorney, eX-President Charles

BASE BALL WAR POSSIBLE.
Western League Said to BE Ready to
Fall Out With the National.


Fall Out With the National.
There is the biggest kind of a chance OF a
base ball war, according to special from
Chicago to the Baltimore Sun. The West
ern League, it is asserted. has decided to
stand by the Minneapolis Club in resisting
the board of arbitration's decision IN the
Hutchison case.
Minneapolis will play Hutchison regard
less of the decision of the national board.
If Minneapolis should be blacklisted. there
will be chance for all the other Clubs to
receive the same treatment They will
then withdraw and form an independent
league. 1t is asserted that all the clubs in
the league have only been waiting for some
pretext to withdraw, and that they see
their chance now in the alleged unfair
treatment of Minneapolis.
OF course, the threatened trouble may he
averted, as the board of arbitration will
meet again in New York April -, and may
then reconsider the Hutchison eas..
