KING TO MOVE.
Edward to Go Aboard His Yacht
Next Tuesday.

London, July 12.-At Buckingham
palace the following bulletin was posted
at 10 a. m. today:
king Edward is making excellent
progress. On account of his majesty
satisfactory condition, bulletins will be
issued on alternate days only
The following authorized statement
has been issued:
The king has made such excellent
progress that his medical advisers be-
Heve his majesty is now strong enough
to be moved from London. They feel
at the present stage of the healing pro-
cess. 1t is hoped that his majesty will
be able to leave Buckingham palace
Tuesday for the royal yacht. which is
at present at Portsmouth"
1t is officially announced that there
Will be no royal progress, as originally
planned, the day after coronation, and
there will be no procession apart from
that in which their majest1es will pro-
coed from Buckingham palace to West
minister Abbey and return.
1t is now considered practically GER
tain in view of this announcement that
King Edward will be crowned Satur-
day. August 9, since the holding of the
IL, would involve another full bank holt
day, with the attendant dislocat ton of
general business. while Saturdays are
almost universally observed as half
holidays
The fixing of such an early date for
the coronation is regarded as an addi-
tional guarantee of the confidence the
kings physicians have in a continuance
of his rapid recuperatiOn.

LOCKED IN THE TOMBS.
Grand Nephew of Bismarck Accused
of Burglary.

New York, July 12.-Locked up in the
Tombs, charged with burglary in the
third degree, is a young man who
claims to be Karl Won Bismarck. a
granddaughter of the great German
chancellor. If his statements as to his
identity are confirmed, he probably will
be paroled or released under suspended
sentence.
Karl Won Bismarck is charged with
having entered a Fifty-ninth street
apartn ent and appropriated tapestries
which are said to have been pawned.
On being arraigned it was learned that
the prisoner conversed in several Ian
guages. He wanted to plead guilty and
told of his relationship. He came to
the United States one year ago, he said.
intending to enlist in the United States
army, but failed to enter the service.
The he got employment as a baker,
earning, he said, precarious living.
Having lost his position and being
without funds and hungry, he was
tempted, he said, to take the tapestries
Judge Newburger said if the story
was true the young man was entitled to
some consideration and assigned coun-
sci to investigate the case.

A BAD LOT.
Excuse Given by a Murderer For
Shooting a Whole Family.

Portland, Or, July 12-In a mad de-
sire for vengeance in return for real
or supposed wrongs, A. L. Bedding, a
bartender shot and killed his wife, his
mother in-law and a male inmate Of
the house, and fatally wounded his
father-in-law. The dead are:
MRS. A. l. BELDING, his wife.
MRS. L. MCROSKY, his mother-in-
law.
FRANK WOODWARD, an inmate of
the McCrosky house.
Fatally wounded:
L. McCrosky, father-in-law.
Bedding married the daughter of Nc
Crosby eight years ago, but has not
lived with his wife for some time. He
was jealous of Woodward.
Going to the McCrosky home he gain
ed admittance, and n Getting Woodward
in the hall drew revolver in each
hand and exclaimed: You first" firing
as he spoke. Woodward fell to the
floor MORALLY wounded. Mrs. Bedding
rushed upon her husband and was shot
down. Then the parents of Mrs. Beld-
ing came into the hall and were both
shot by Bedding.
After his bloody work was finished
Bedding walked out of the hall and
gave himself up. When asked for the
cause of the crimes Bedding said
These people have been misusing me

1antry Dump Unloading

consigned to New York, marked a new
era in the commercial and shipping in
terests of San Francisco. This ship
ment of tea was made on June %, and
since that date the Santa Fee has taken
on the entire freight business for all
the Industries located at Potrero and
South San Francisco. At these points
the great industries of the Union Iron
Works, Risdon Iron Works, the sugar
refineries, Tubbs Cordage Works, San
Francisco Gas company and the San
Francisco Glue Works are located.
Another big industry for this China
basin slip is the new stock yards to be
completed by September 1 next, when
all live stock entering the port of San
Southern Pacific, will be delivered at
those yards, the Santa Fe company
making the deliveries for both COM
panieS.
The contract for filing up China basin
was let about six months ago by the
Santa F'e to Lantry & Sons of Strong
City, Kan. 1t will probably take about
a year to complete the work, and for
will receive close to a million dollars.
For some time the Lantrys had their
two locomotives in the Topeka shops
being fitted up for the work at Point
are handsome and powerful. They are
profusely decorated with gold leaf and
make a very snowy appearance.
The place where the work is being
of land upon which San Francisco is
built. 1t is a tract of about 80 acres
and is entirely submerged with water.
AS is shown in the accompanying illus
tration, the dumping cars are run out
into the basin on a temporary bridge
of piling.
Commenting on the work, the Point
Richmond (Cala.) Record says:
1.-THE reclamation of the vast tract of
land by the Santa Fee people in the
China basin is one of the most i'm
portant and far-reaching propositions
in the state. The new industries that
will go into that locality through the
increased shipping facilities and the
reclamation of the basin will add thou
sands to the population of San Fran
cisco, and millions of dollars upon her
tax rolls, besides placing the Pacific
coast in an Independent position before
the far east, and in competition with
the world in manufacturing for, and
supplying the Orient with American
goods and commodities of all kinds.
The Santa Fe railway is very much in
terested in the Oriental trade, and is
reaching out for a good share of the
Central and South American business,
and with that in view, will soon have
control of the largest merchant steam
ship lines plying from this coast to the
far east and down the coast to the
southern republics"

NEW PULLMAN TICKETS.
Tend to Prevent Tricks by Fraudu-
lent Trainmen.

Effective July 1, the Pullman Palace
Car company adopted a new style OF
ticket. The innovation is in keeping
with the spirit of the times, since every
business man is anxious to keep just
as n any checks on his agents as posi-
BILE. The old ticket was simply a piece
of cardboard sold by the agent and
surrendered by the passenger to the
Pullman conductor. The porter did not
figure in the transaction and the con-
ductor was left a pretty fair opening
for disproving any charge of embezzle-
ment. Under the new plan, however
the ticket is of the four coupon style.
The agent when he sells it to a pas
senger tears off coupon No. 1. When
the passenger enters the sleeper the
porter tears off coupon No. e The con-
ductor then comes along and is favored
with coupon No. 3, while the passenger
is allowed to retain coupon No. 4. In
this manner the porter keeps tab on the
conductor and knows whether payment
is made before the passenger gets
aboard or afterward.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with danger
to people whose systems are poorly sus-
tanned; and this leads us to say, in the
interest of the less robust of our read
ers, that the full effect of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla is such as to suggest the pro-
priety of calling this medicine some
thing besides blood purifier and tonic
say, a sustaining diet. 1t makes it
much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep, and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time
of year.

his communication thus:
Dear Sir:

A week ago today;
Your 20 came down the line
And snuffed his light away.
You can't blame me-the hog. you see,
Slipped through a cattle gate.
So kindly pen check for ten,

He was rather surprised few days
later to receive the following:

MORE THAN EVER.
Santa Fe Reports Growing Traffic in
Freight Department

Chicago, July 12-Santa Fe officials
report that there is a larger volume of
freight moving than at this time year
ago, although it is said to be of lower
class, and the revenue derived there
from will probably not be SO large.
There is very little cotton moving. Cali
fornia fruit traffic for the season is
about over and the grain movement is
light, but still, with all these factors,
business is in excess of last year. They
attribute the extraordinary condition to
diversified traffic brought on by phe-
nomenal development of the west, and,
they declare, it simply bears them out
in previous forecasts to the effect that
the road is no longer solely grain car
rier.

mo- WORD FROM BOYD

Governor Dole did not receive any
letter from Superintendent of Public
Works James H. Boyd by the steamer
arriving yesterday afternoon. Secre-
tary Cooper, acting treasurer and act
ing superintendent of public works, al
so received no word and Bookkeeper
Manuel Cook of the public works de-
partment, who heard by the last mail,
did not hear this time. When the
steamer left San Francisco, Boyd had
just had time to hear through the
newspapers of w. H. Wright's running
away, and to receive in the mail the
governors letter instructing him to re-
turn home. 1t is thought possible
that Boyd may hurry back by the Ha-
waiian-American steamer Nevadan, eX-
pected here about the end of this
week, rather than wait for the Sierra,
due week from tomorrow.
