CATTLE WITH TICKS
NOW BARRED OUT

SAN DIEGO. June 3O-There will be no
more importations of cattle into this
country from Lower California, or proba-
blv anv other part of Mexico, until the
repeal Of a new law which was just made
public to-day
w. f. Hill. whose jurisdiction as quar-
antine inspector extends from the Rio
Grande to the Pacific Ocean, to-day re-
ceived instructions from the Agricultural
Department at Washington to admit no
cattle with ticks from Mexico. AS there
is scarcely a bovine creature anywhere
in the southwest of Mexico that is not
more or less afflicted with harmless ticks
the new law amounts to the prohibition
of cattle from below the line. The rea-
son advanced by officer Hill for the new
law is that ticks are believed to be a
means of bringing germs Of fever into this
country. This, however, is considered the
merest nonsense by stOckmen, who de-
clare that Lower California is absolutely
free from cattle disease of any kind and
has been so from time immemorial Some
of the best cattle sent TO the markets of
Southern California come from the Mex
leo peninsula. the importations the pres
ent year reaching 2000 head.
e +. Burns, d butcher of this city,
lately purchased a large band of cattle
on the peninsula. which now cannot be
brought across the line. Steps will be
taken by prominent citizens in Southern
California to secure a repeal of the new
law. at least SO far as it relates to Lower
California.

RENOUNCE THEIR CLAIM
TO COBURG SUCCESSION
Duke of Connaught and His Son Re
tire in Favor of the Duke
of ALBANY

COBURG, June 30.-It was officially
announced to-day that the Duke of
Connaught, brother of the reigning
Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. and
the son of the Duke of Connaught,
Prince Arthur, have renounced their
claims to the Coburg succession in ia
vor of the Duke of Albany, son of the
late Prince Leopold of England. The
Duke of Albany, who was born in 1884
and whose mother was Princess Helena
of Waldeck will be heir to the throne
Of Coburg under the guardianship of
Prince HohenIohe-Ta -Taigenburg.
The Duke of Connaught reserves the
right to the succession in the event of
the death of the Duke of Albany or the
extinction of the latter's male line. The
Duke Of Albany will Immediately come
to Coburg and receive a German edu-
cation previous to entering the Ger
man army.
The Minister of State in Chief, c. F.
Won Strenge, informed the Diet that the
Duke of Connaughts reason for the
remuneration of the succession was
his unwillingness to part from his only
son and because he could not abandon
his responsibility for the care and edu-
cation of his son while Prince Arthur of
Connaught was compelled to reside in
England, and the Duke recognized that
the heir to the throne of Coburg re-
ouired German education. The Queen
and the royal family, he added, all had
the most tender love for Coburg, to
which they were Joined through the
Prince COnSOrt.

ARREST OF A DOCTOR
FOR STEALING A TRUNK

MARYSTILLE, June 30.-On informa-
ton from Chief of Police Lees of San
Francisco, Sheriff Bevan to-day arrested
Henry 3. Wilson in his office in the
Woodruff block in this. city and booked
grand larceny. Dr. Wilson, who located
in Marysville about a month ago. is
wanted in Chicago for the theft of a
trunk the contents of which is valued
at $3.50. On May II last he registered at
the Saratoga Hotel in Chicago a resi-
dent of the Preside, Cal. He represented
that he was physician on the battleship
Oregon, and through false pretenses he
secured possession of a trunk containing
clothing and jewelry of tne value stated,
the property of one John d. Temple, who
swore to the complaint. Chief of Detec-
tives L. P. Collerar of Chicago has wired
Sheriff Bevan to hold Wilson. He will
prepare papers and send an officer after
the prisoner. The trunk in question was
found by the Sheriff in Wilson'S office,
and scme of the articles which were
scattered about the room have marks
that indicate they are Temples property.
Wilson claims that he came into the
possession of the trunk through a mis-
take made by a baggage-master, who
checked 1t after a washout on an Eastern
road was encountered. He says ne has
written several letters East in an effort
to right the matter, but could get no re-
plv. Wilson has in his possession let
fer from Colonel Theodore Roosevelt.
which shows that he was with the Rough
Riders at Santiago, being physician IN
the hospital corps. Since coming to
Marvsviire he has INDUCED in frequent
speeches and acted queerly.

ground on which the decree was given
is adultery Mrs. Spring was given the
custody Of the three children-Jack, Mar

a goodly share. Springs wealth is esti-
mated at over $50. 600.
