AFTER LLOYD
 FAMOUS SHOOTING
All Shots Directed at Him and All
 Took Effect.

San Eernardino, Cal, January SIC. R. Lloyd of Berkeley. one of the prin- cipal Stockholders of the Oakland Transit company. president and prin- cipal stockholder of the San Bernar dino Electric Light and Gas company of this city, was shot and fatally wounded here this afternoon by his nephew, William Boxan of Santa Barbara. The shooting which was very sensational, has greatly excited the town, as Lloyd is the richest prop crty owner and one of the most inilu cntial men of this city. Three shots took effect, one in the back passing through the left lung. one in the arm, and one in the leg.
 Shortly after one o'clock this after noon Boxall and his brother-inlaw, Horace Little, of Ontario, drove to "The Shack" Lloyd's home, in this city, Boxall entering the house and Little returning 10 town. No quarrel was heard. Suddenly Lloyd dashed from the house screaming, protect me, protect me, he will kill me"
 Boxall followed him with a revolver in his hand. Jim Ferre and his son. Frank, were passing in a buggy. Frank jumped from the buggy and ran toward Boxall. Llody jumped into vacant seat with the elder Perre, who whipped the horse into a run. By this time Boxall had approached within | few feet of the buggy and began firing. The first shot he fired at the horse but it went wild. The second struck Lloyd in the arm, the third passed between his left arm and the body of John Ferre The fourth entered IIOyd's S back on the left side passing through his left lung. The fifth struck Lloyd right leg. Ferre drove direct to the shcriff's office. Lloyd was taken to Marlborough hospital and the sheriff drove to ''the Shack" where BoXall surrendered. He was taken to jail.
 None of the parties connected will give a reason for the shooting

4 GERMAN PROPHET
 AS TO ROOSEVELT
New German Ambassador Knew Ten
 Years Ago He Would Be President.

Washington, January 31.-To a repre- sentative of the Associated Press Baron Sternberg. the new German minister, expressed the qualification he felt at returning to the United States.
 'I am reminded of the changes that have taken place since l was here. moro than ten years ago as a military attache. Then your president was 2 civil service commissioner. I do not pose as a prophet. but when I first met Mir. Roosevelt was deeply impressed with his untirinS energy and sincerity of purpose. It was this combination which convinced me some day that I should see him at the head of this great nation.
 When I said good bye to him upon my departure from Washington the first time, l said: When l again con- gratulate you, you will be one step nearer the White House.
 "On hearing of his appointment as assistant secretary of the navy I wrote him: Permit me to congratulate you on your second step nearer to tho presidency and when Inc was elected governor of New York I wrote him Next time I offer you my congratula- lions it will be addressed to President Roosevelt
 "I knew hc would be president be- cause I knew the stun he was made of. The same opinion prevails in Europe. Your president is the personification oe what is good, great and healthy in America.
 You appreciate the fact that I can not as yet talk of the primary object of my mission-the conduct of the Ven ozuelan negotiations. I want the Am crican people to know that Germany is as anxious for an early conclusion of this question as any of the nego- tiators.
 "I am glad to see the point made that the Monroe doctrine is not in any way involved in the Venezuelan situation .''

 Resolutions were also adopted form ally accepting the statues on the part of the government
 MT. Grosvenor of Ohio presided dur ing these exercises and there were many Marylanders in the galleries, two sections of which had been especially reserved for their accommodation.
 The death of the late Representative Rumple of Iowa which occurred this morning in Chicago, was announced, usual resolutions adopted and commit tee appointed to attend the funeral.
 Then, as a further mark of respect, the house adjourned until tomorrow when the memorial session will be held to pay tribute to the late Senator Me Milan of Michigan.

 Farrell and Migeon claimed a royalty of $2 a ton on all copper matte treated by the process since it was patented n 1892.

under territorial government, is an un- pleasant business, and it may have em~ barrassing consequences for a senator who is ambitious to be president or vice president. So Senator Beveridge him self has had frequently to rush into the breach and talk in order to keep up the fiction that the bill was under discus sion. He has been very successful in eliciting outbursts from senators who were for the bill, but Senator Spooner devised the scheme for stirring up the democrats. By defending the presi dents action in the Indianola postoftice case and prodding the democrats on the negro question generally, the dis cussicn was easily switched for a time. and the same trick will probably work without limit, for the democrats ap- pear never to see through it.
 Nobody on either side of the contest has been able. as yet, to explain how an extra session of congress is to be avoid cd if Senator Quay persists in his policy of attaching the statehood measure to appropriation bills. and such bills are permitted to die in the senate. It is conceded that should either the Cuban reciprocity treaty or the Colombian canal treaty fail of ratification, the president would call an extra session of congress this spring, and it IS thought that he would as readily call the extra session should some of Inc great appropriation bills fail to pass Recognition of the probability of an early session of the Fifty-eighth con gross in case the statehood bill fails. has started Q discussion as to the figure which a similar bill might cut in the extra session. A review Of tlle mem bership of the house of representatives as it will be constituted in the next congress, and of the new senate as we'll leads to the conclusion that the next house will be fully as friendly to the territories as the present house has been. and it is conceded that the advo- cGtCs Of statehood will be even moro numerous in the senate than now.
 It follows that if Senator Quay fails in his present programme, but a short time will cnsue after the Fifty y-eight congress convenes before statehood for the territories will again be one of the uppermost questions at the capitol. While 1t might not be possible to pass 2 statehood bill at the extra session, 1t is certain that all of the preliminary work in the way of introduction and commit tee reports would be finished, and the bill actually could be passed. And in any event. almost immediately upon the beginning of the long session, the first of next December, the contest would be on again, to hold the boards until finally disposed of. And there would never be a flibuster against the bill in either the extra session or the long session.
 But the air of confidence among the statehood leaders Indicates that they fully expect to win at thia session.

CLERICAL MISTAKES
In the Copy of the Alaskan Boundary
 Treaty.

Washington, January 31.-At the re- quest of Secretary Hay the senate in executive session today returned the Alaskan boundary treaty for the cor rection of two clerical errors. One of these is in the matter of the title of King Edward and the other consists of description in the preamble of the tribunal, created by the treaty, as the tribunal of arbitration, whereas, owing to the fact that there is no umpire, iJ is not so regarded
 As soon as the document can be cor rected it will be returned. Meantime, the favorable report made upon the treaty by the committee on foreign re- lations stands, and it will not be neces- sary to send the corrected document to the committee.

 The Temps points out that the world s chief interest is to secure an end to the whole affair. which is beginning to be viewed as another MaXimillian blunder, and says: If the naval com manders again feel that they are at liberty to take action owing to the fail u;,e of neSotiations there will be q new incident like that of San Carlos

New York, January 31.-Today's bal ances at the clearing house. SPAS .949, broke all previous records in volume, the nearest approach being S24, ,943, ,O00 in July last year. The individual show ing by some of the leading banks gave rise to much conjecture.
 For instance, the First National bank had a debit balance of over SIP. .OOO. .O00. which was partly offset by credit bal ances of the Bank of Commerce and the American Exchange National bank, institutions with which the first named had close affiliations. The Ma tional City bank reported a debit bal ance of over Ss.OOO, ,OOO but these figures were not reflected in any of it's sub sidiary banks.

MORGAN WANTS ANY CANAL.


 The senate committee on foreign re- lations today again discussed the Pan anna canal treaty but did not reach a conclusion. The discussion was based entirely upon the amendments to the treaty which were offered yesteray by MT Morgan, but action was not taken on any of them. The senate adjourned until Monday. Mir. Morgan eaid in the course of his discussion of the question that his only purpose was to perfect the treaty SO that there would be no trouble in the future.
 He declared that his interest n the proposed canal was as great as 1t would be if the Nicaragua route had been chosen. He felt. he said, that the document in it's present shape did not guard details as carefully as it should and he urged the amendments as cal culated to accomplish that end.

 Washington, January d.-Senator Quay's proposal to amend the agTicul- tural appropriation bill was accom- plished by the committee on agricul- ture today by an easy majority. The introduction of the report early next week is awaited with much interest as it is believed that the result of the statehood fight can be then forecast.
 The greater part of the time of the senate today was devoted to exercises in connection with the acceptance from the state of Maryland of statues of Charles Carroll and John Hanson, which will henceforth stand in statu- ary hall at the national capitol. A number of bills were passed including the house bill providing for the crea- tion of a general staff for the army The statehood bill was not considered but it holds it's place on the calendar.

CAPTURED SPANISH COINS
SOON To Be SOLD
Protest Against War Department Plan
May Be Ignored.

Secretary Root has finally decided that
the Spanish coins captured by the Amer
lean forces at the time of the surrender
of Manila shall be sold to the highest
bidder. These coins are mostly copper
and their value has been placed at a
quarter OF a million dollars.
The sale of the coins was advertised
several months ago. but before the bids
were opened the Spanish government
filed protest with the State Depart
ment against the proceedings, maintain
ing that If the coins were sold at their
intrinsic value they might be circulated
in Spain at their face value which
would mean loss TO the Spanish gov
ernment
The matter was referred by Secretary
Hay TO Secretary Root. who holds that
inasmuch as Spain did not bid on the
coins. they must be sold in accordance
with the terms of the advertisement to
the highest bidder, unless the State De-
partment holds that the protest of Spain
is valid 1t is probable that the bids
will soon be opened and the coins dis
posed Of as originally contemplated.
