Tomorrow afternoon politicians will
pause TO pay a hnal tribute to the re-
mains of kid" Price, who was found
dead in room yesterday. The kid"
has many friends and to-day they are re-
poaung the many good traits in the de-
Ceased's character.
IN his own peculiar way no one was
better known in political Alameda than
Price. Although he frequently was as
sCciated with those who do not adorn the
political profession, it is said that the
kid invariably preserved his good char
acter.
One of the county officials said to-day:
1T is unjust to accuse Price of being
a ward striker. He was always a decent
but cratic fellow. He was well educated
and spent some years at Santa Clara
College. When his father. who was
prominent Mason, died some years ago
TIE lad received generous life insur-
unce policy, which did him no good. 1
do not think he was ever known 10 vote
at a primary even once, because he had
very strong opinions and he did not be-
lieve in the method of holding primaries.
I CO not think there is one of US who
does not regret that the poor fellow has

OAKLAND, Oct 1.-THE contest of
Messrs. Schneider and Metzger in the
estate of the late Christopher Streitber-
ger estate came up on a demurrer this
afternoon before Superior Judge Ellis
worth, who just as much as told Attor-
ney George z. de Cola, for contestants,
that they had no standing in court The
attorneys for the executors, Messrs. Gar
Der and Bruins, had demurred TO the con-
test and were sustained. The demurrer
to the petition of contestants asking for
the probate of the will made in April,
1894, however, was overruled because
Attorneys de Cola and Smith had failed
to give notice of the petition. The con-
testants were given further time to prop
erly amend their pleadings, and the mat
ter went over for two weeks. The es-
tate is valued at about 5000 900, of which
nearly SIZE. 900 consists of cash.

San Francisco, March 2a.-A letter
just received in this city by business
house that has recently had occasion
to ship goods to Manila gives some in-
teresting details of affairs on the is.

The revolution in these islands,
says the writer, "Is not suppressed.
The rebels have withdrawn their,
forces temporarily and are enjoying
what practically amounts to self gov
eminent in provinces distant from Ma
nila, where the Spanish troops seldom
venture.
The Spanish could easily have been
iriyen from the islands had the rebels
been We'll equipped with modern wea-
pons of war, but the insurgents were
1nable to raise sufficient funds to purs
chase arms from Europe in sufficient
number to arm more than 10 per cent
of their fighting strength.
Even against this poorly equipped
and somewhat disorganized band the
Spanish government has not been able
to do much more than hold its own.
During the lull that followed the
socalied surrender of the rebel forces
near Manila wholesale arrests were
made, the prisoners being seized at
their homes in the night aud with as
little publicity as possible given to the
occurrence. Meantime the Spanish
forces moved against what was

Pail Mall Gazette: The oak cradle
in which Mary Queen of Scots was
rocked is very handsome and well pre-
served, though it has passed through
many vicissitudes. She was born on
the 18th day of December, 1912, at Lin
lithgoW palace, which was the fayorite
residence of James v. of Scotland, and
his young wife Mary of Guise. The
royal father never saw his child, for he
was on his dectbbed ut Falkland pal
ace when she came into the world. The
palace at Linlitligow was burned by
General Ha~ley's Dragons after they
had been defeated by the Highland
army under Bonnie Prince Charley
in 1T46, and the oak cradle was most
likely looted and got into the hands
of a woman who used it for her own
babies and passed it on to her children
and children's children. From her
granddaughter it was, states a writer
