LONDON, ENG, Nav 21.-A large and

Duke OF Buccleuch and Quee
Among many notable persons present

and United States ambassador Hay. The
Dean OF Westminster presided.
Balfour delivered brief speech, eulo.
gizing the work of Scott, and was fol-
lowed by AMBASSADOR Hay. Hay said
that no face in modern history was better
known than Scott's, except that of Napo-
leon. He himself, be said, represented
one of SCOTS immense constituencies.
Nowhere had Scott's writings received
greater welcome than in America. When
that country was young the books mo st
read were Scott's poem. Magic and Sem
timent," and his "Romance of Chivalry."
Scott, Colonel Hay said, had not exerted
material political influence in America,
but he still had enormous influence other

sensitive owing to their environment.
The Duke OF Buccleuch and Queensberry
said he was proud of the idea that be was

BOSTON, MASS, May 21.-Hattie Fran

Suddenly she turned pale and fell back

she gasped. A thin stream of blood
trickled from her lips. There was a COM

Then the gong of the emergency hos

and within a short time the abbe's little
village of Woerischoffen in Bavaria has
become place of pilgrimage so renowned
that in five months last summer nearly
20, 600 visitors, it is said, registered there.
II is the quality of these visitors that at
tracts attention, for they number among
them such important personages as the
Rothschilds of Vienna. the Duke and
Duchess Paul of Mecklenburg, the Duke
d 'Alencon, the Infanta Maria Therese of
Portugal, the Persian Shah's daughter
and Bishops, patriarchs and papal nun
clos.
The things that such people do every
body else wants to do, and so the Kneippe
cure is the fashion.
Moreover some value has been found in
it. The German physicians who began
by pooh-poohing have ended by certify
ing that the hum BILE apbe is natural
physician and his system worth the atten-
ton of the scientifically trained doctor,
and every body in the German countries
to-day has Kneippiste literature in the
hand.
AS to Father Kneippe himself he seems
to bear modestly his honors, which have
recently eliminated in his being manded
to Rome to treat the Pope. Credit is evil
dently due him for a dsinterested effort
to bring luxury-enfeeDled people back to
nature, and the simple and regular life OF
the orders appear TO- have furnished him
the model.
The matter has ended by reaching
France and there are, it is said, already
several Kneppiste journals, pharmacies
and physicians. and the gossip is of a

EASTERN or CALIFORNIA STONE e
Pos fofce 6EHdIng-Interest of tho
Southern Plc,fc

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2L-THE
CALL correspondent bad another inter-
view with the supervising architect of the
Treasury to-day about the San Francisco
Posto flee building. Mr.. Aiken was shown
some of the copies of THE CALL containing
editorial expressions OF The paper as welt
as interviews OF prominent business men
of California in favor of using stone from
California quarries in the structure in
stead of Eastern material. Mr.. Aiken
said:
Il have noticed in THE CALL the people
of San Francisco are considerably exer-
cised about the suggestion that Eastern
stone might be used. You may say to
your people that as far as | am concerned
L am heartily IN favor OF using s'one from
the California quarries l was in Cali
fornia two years ago, and from personal
observation | know that the stone in the
quarries of that State is of excellent
quality. Of course, do not know just
how long my tenure of Office will be, but
if I have anything to do with the matter
the stone used will be from California
quarries."
Mr.. Aiken mentioned several quarries.
He was inclined to believe that the granite
and marble quarries in the State would be
much better for building of such pro-
portions than either sandstone or lime
stone. both of which latter were well
enough for smaller buildings. He men,
toned particularly the Raymond granite
and Inyo County marble for the
Postofice building. He thought that
1t might be good plan to construct
the lower story of granite and the upper
part of marble. He believed that this
would be very pretty com bination. The
suggestions were merely tentative, how
ever. He said ne had no preference as be-
no favoritism to show.
In the course of ram bling conversation
the supervising architect inadvertently let
out hint that will surprise San Francisco
people. The Southern Pacific Railroad
agent here may endeavor to have the
stone shipped from the East in order to
give them a longer haul. Mr.. Aiken did
not make this positive statement; it came
about in this way:
What influence might bring about the
selection of Eastern material?" asked
The CALL correspondent.
The supervising architect smiled as he
replied: "Oh, various influences over
which l would have no control, as, for in
stance, the Southern Pacific Railroad,
which seems to be all powerful in Wash
ington."
Mr.. Aiken added that be had no knowl-
edge that the railr DAD would attempt any,
thing of the kind. 1t was merely sur
mise on his part He said that of course
the officers of the department would not
knowingly favor the railroad company,
but there were various ways in which the
railroad might bring influence TO bear
Senatorial and Congressional influence
might be a factor, he said.

BaIfOur Makes a Most
Important State ment
in. the Commons.
1t Is Proposed to Pay Poor
Rates and County Cess
Out of the ExcheQuer.
One of the Greatest Reforms to
Be Carried Out Under the
s fest Conditions.

LONDON, ENG, May 21.-First Lord OF
the Treasury and Government Leader
Balfour made an important statement in
the House of Commons to-day regarding
the Governments Irish policy. which viii /
be carried out next session.
He said it was the intention of the Gov
ernment TO place both the poor law and
the country's administration on broad.
popular basis. Landlords will be relieved
of all rural rates. At present land owners
are liable for half OF the poor rates, which
the Government proposes to pay hereafter
out Of the imperial fund. Tenants are
liza BILE for the other half of the poor rates
and the county cess. The Government
proposes hereafter to pay the county cess
out OF the imperial fund.
BaIfour explained that this double
benefit to the two classes would enable
the Government to launch a scheme for
local government. He could not give the
details of this scheme, which would place a
large charge upon the exchequer; but 1T
was a charge which the country at large
and the Union lists would not grudge IT
there by they could see the way to carry
out the reforms to which they had pledged
themseIves.
Bafour thought every class OF the coun-
try was disposed to favor what must
prove one of the greatest reforms carried
out under the safest conditions ever sug-
gested.
Loud cheers greeted the announce ment
of this Irish relief policy.

Tried on Two Charges
in a United States
Court.
A Leading Texan Republican
and Held in General
Esteem.
His Friends Believe Him Innocent
and a Victim OF Circumstances
and Conspirators.

PARIS, TEX, May 21.-E. H. Leutweiler,
formerly United States Commissioner at
Duncan, Ind. T., who has been on trial in
the United States court in this city for
two days past upon charge of bribery,
was to-day found guilty as charged IN two
of he indictments.
Owing to the prominence of Judge Lieut.
weller the trial has attracted widespread
attention, and the courtroom was thronged
while it was IN progress The evidence
upon which he was convicted showed that
he had accepted a bribe of $125 from a
phys sician in liquor case and bribe of
$500 in another case from a wealthy farmer
whose relative was in trouble upon an
other account.
Leutweiler does not deny receiving
money from the parties named, but claims
that it was not received as a bribe, but in
payment of attorney fees due him in
cases in other courts. The Judge has
many friends here ana throug hout Texas
who believe him to be innocent and but
the victim OF circumstances and conspir-
acy. He was ably represented by counsel,
and the verdict was surprise. Doubtless
a motion will be made for rehearing.
Leutweiler is one of the prominent Re-
publicans, not only of the panhandle
country, but of TIE xas, and solely through
his efforts many counties were carried for
the Mckinley delegates to the National
convention at St. Louis. He was also a
member OF the delegation that went to
Canton to formally present the name of
National Committeeman John Grant for
a Cabinet portfolio. Judge Leutweiler re-
sides at Bowie, Texas, where he is uni
yersally esteemed.

Chic0qo Police Clam That the Moose Is

Manufacturers Neck.

CHICAGO, ILL. May 21.-Frank Bial,
formerly night watchman at Luetgert's
sausage factory, has informed the police
that few nights before the disappe pearance
OF Mrs. Luetgert he helped his employer
TO fill the vat in which the police say the
woman's body was destroyed. The con-
tents, he says, were Of different charac-
ter from what had ever before been used,
and he burned his hand so badly that he
had to carry it in sling for week.
Analytical chemists say that the flesh
and bones in and about the vat are human.
More Dloodstains and hair, said to be
human, have been found, and the police
claim that the moose is tightening around
Luetgerts neck.
There are still many persons who be-
lieve him innocent and that Mrs. Luet-
CERT will yet be found alive. The testi-
mony of credible witnesses who have
claimed to have seen her near Kenosha
since the date of the alleged murder will,
they believe, be fully substantiated.

ALL AMERICANS BARRED.
Prince Luigi Hjssse Hrs Expedition II
Mount st. Elias to Be Exclusively
Italian.


BOSTON, MASS, May 2L-Prince Luigi
bars ali Americans from his expedition to
Mount st. Elias. The Appalachian Noun
tain Club is greatly interested in his ex-
pedition. but it will not take part in it.
Correspondence has been maintained be-
tween Sela, the Italian photographer,
and Professor c. E. Fay of the Appala-
chians. In one of these letters Sella thus
expresses himself:
1.-THE young Duca Degi Abruzzi is
jealous to keep for his expedition an ex-
clusively Italian character and would be
sorry should anything occur to make it
appear otherwise"
The Prince brings with him party of
friends who are experienced in mountain
ascents, including Sela and probably
others of the Italian Alpine clubs and a
party OF five guides, who have been
selected from the most skilled of those on
the Italian side of the Alps. No Appala-
chan or other American will be member
OF the climbing party.
On the other hand the Appalachians
will not be guilty of the discourtesy Of
permitting this exploring party 'ef repre-
sentatves OF interests so allied to its own
to pass through our country without re-
ceiving such aid as will serve to bring IL
most easily to the scene OF its real alpine
activities and to give it the greatest pos
sible assistance within these lines. Pro-
fessor Fay has therefore been exceedingly
interested in securing transportation IA
ciiities, including a small steamer Tor use
beyond Sitka and Porters to carry pro-
visions to the base of the mountain, and
the fullest possible supply of information
regarding the mountain and its Difficult
ties, all of which the club is very glad to
do to aid the visitors.
