STATE UNIVERSITY.
May Soon Have the Finest Lot of
Buildings on the Globe.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-The IN
iversity Of California is to have, if de-
signs are carried out, the finest pile
of buildings on the globe, and these
brilliant schemes are to be put into ef-
feet at once.
Probably before six months, certain
ly inside of a year. ground will be
broken for the first Of magnificent
group of buildings. There are to be
twenty-eight or thirty of them, homo
genous in design, related to each other
architecturally as the buildings of the
Athens acropolis We're related. Regent
Reinstein says it will take many years
to build them, and there is already
money enough to last for ten years.
All the buildings are to be built of
stone, and will last for ages. How
many millions they will cost the en-
thusiastic Regent who has fathered the
scheme refuses to say, but he has
enough pledged to make his magnifi-
cent plan a certainty. The architects
of the world will compete in the plans,
and they will be practically unlimited
as to expenditures. Mrs. Hearst, who
was appointed by Governor Budd this
week as the first woman Regent the
University has ever had, has furnished
the money for the architectural cOmpe
tition just as she had furnished the
fund for three of the thirty buildings.
The sum she will give has never been
limited. Once she mentioned 81, 100000
as the amount, but it may be even
larger.
Regent Reinstein refuses to give out
the names of those who will, beside
Mrs. Hearst, take a hand in the scheme.
The Trustees will meet to consider the
plans between August 9TH and 18th.

CONGRESSMAN HENDERSON.
Suffering From Injuries Received
in the Civil War.

DUBUQUE Qa.), July 29.-Congress-
man D. B. Henderson, for years one of
the most conspicuous members of the
House of Representatives from this
State, has suffered untold agonies from
his injured limb which was shot off at
the battle Of Corinth. AT that time his
limb was amputated below the knee
and he has ever since worn an artificial
one, but the wound, for some reason
never properly healed, and it has both
cred him ever since and at times he has
been laid up for weeks, but his strong
constitution carried him through.
Last winter, when he was confined
to his bed for several weeks, it was
thought he would have to suffer an
other operation, but he recovered suffi-
GENTLY to resume his duties at Wash
ington. From his daughter, who ar
rived to-day, it was learned that an
other amputation is necessary. This
will be made at the knee joint, and it
is likely that the operation will be per-
formed at an early day.

FATAL QUARREL OVER CARDS
Jim Corbett's Former Partner
| Killed in Indian Territory

WICHITA (Kas), July pa special
to the Eagle from Chickasaw, 1. T.,
says:
Tonight about 10 o'clock James Ge-
rah, a well-known sporting man from
the coast, was instantly killed by a
man named Willis Day, a stranger
here. Gehar was playing a game of
cards with Day, and the two became
involved in quarrel. Day drew his
revolver and shot Gerah through the
heart. John Acker started to run to
open the door, and Day, apparently
crazed by excitement, shot him in the
shoulder and fatally injured him. Day
started to run out of the door, no one
having the presence of mind to hold
him. AT / a. m. Day is still at large.
Gerah was at one time the partner
of Jim Corbett in Portland Or, and
is we'll known on the Pacific Coast and
in Texas. He was always regarded as
an honest man, and was considered a
lava biding citizen

ANDREE'S BALLOON,
Why DR.. EkhoIm Declined to Join
the ExueditioU

STOCKHOLM, July 29.-pr. Ekholm,
who was associated with Herr Andree
in his projected balloon voyage last
year, writes to the "Aftonoladt' that
he declined to join in the present at
tempt because of the probability that
the balloon was unsatisfactory. He
said it lost 1000 cubic meters of gas
daily from the time of imitation. In
his opinion it would not float longer
than from twenty-five to twenty-four
days. Inasmuch as the voyage under
ordinary conditions Of wind would take
at least twenty-four days, DR.. Ekholm
believes Andree will be remarka bly,
fortunate if he succeeds at all.

the United States steamship Maine in
East River to-day. The Chancellor was
smashed on her port bow, and for a
long distance back above the water line.
She continued up East River. The
Maine passed the Battery about II
O'Clock bound for the anchorage off
Tompkinsville. The paint was scraped
off her bow. No one on board the
Chancellor was injured.
In seeking to avoid the collision, the
Maine came into contact with pier.
On board the Maine no one could be
found who would talk about the COLI
sion. Drawing back from the pier, the
Maine ran into a float belonging to the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company and upon which
were ten freight cars, part of them
loaded. A hole was stove in the float,
and it sunk with its cargo, after the
crew had been taken off by a tug.

IRISH POLITICAL PRISONERS.
Wilson, Burton, Dalton, Flanagan
and Featherstone to be Released.

LONDON, July 29.-As a result of the
efforts of John Redmond, the Parnell-
ite leader, it is probable that the Gov
ernment will soon release the five re-
naming Irish prisoners, Wilson Bur-
ton, Dalton, Flanagan and Feather
stone, now undergoing sentences Of
penal servitude for life in Portland
Prison.
Sir Matthew White Ridley the Home
Secretary, has already promised to
treat with the convicted under the dy-
Mantle Act of 1888, which carries a
maximum penalty of twenty years i'm
prisonment, instead of under the felony
Treason Act of 1913. Deducting for
good conduct Communication, the terms
of Imprisonment would be fifteen years.
All the five have now entered the fif-
teenth year of their Imprisonment, and
there are strong hopes of relief be-
fore the expiration of the year as the
result of the pressure brought to bear
upon the Government, supported by a
large section of the press.
1t is thought probable that the forth
coming visit of the Duke and Duchess
of York to Ireland will be signaliZed by
the release of all Irish political prison
erS.

The WhaIer Cape Horn Pigeon

Furious Storm in the Japan Sea
The Captain and Grew OF
Eighteen Saved, but Eight Hun
dred Barrels of Sperm Oil Lost.

FRESNO, July 29-In turning out to
an early alarm this morning the driver
of No. 2 lost control of the horses, and
the heavy engine, weighing nearly four
tons, went crashing into the front of
the Post Office building. A large
French plate glass show window was
smashed, one Of the horses nearly cut
in two, the engine smashed up and
Driver Ashbrook all but killed.
The accident caused a tremendous
excitement, and it was at first thought
that Engineer Maxwell and the driver
were both killed. The horses were
frisky, and in coming out of the house
jumped to one side, driving the pole
most killing Maxwell, who was stand
ing at the door, to take his place on
the rear of the engine.
The pole cracked then, but held up
down ] street to Tulare. There one of
the horses slipped and fell. The pole
then broke one end flying upward and
unlocking the snap of the bit, when
the driver lost control of the horses.
Engineer Maxwell finding the brake
useless, jumped. Ashbrook, being
strapped to the seat, could not follow.
When the sidewalk curbing was
reached the engine jumped two feet
and threw the horses with awful force
against the building. The off horse
struck the door jam and was cut half
in two. A section of the broken pole
was driven through him, killing him
instantly. The drivers head was push
ed through the window, but by strange
fate was not cut. His leg, which was
against the brake, was badly hurt.
The other horse was not hurt. The
flow of blood from the dead horse was
a sickening sight.
