more, John w. Cherry, Virginia; great
junior sycamore, w. A. S. Bird, Kan

SPARE DRIVERS LIFE
Posse Gives Chase to the
Murderers and Majority
of Brigands Are Captured
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HERMOSILLO, Mexico, Sept. 13.-
Mexican officials at the capital have
granted the request Of the Ortiz La
Barranca stage line asking that the
road be patroIled to protect the lives Of
passengers.
The request was made following
second assault upon the La Barranca
stage by over fifty Yaqui Indians. who
killed Henry n. Martin, an American,
and four Mexican passengers. The
driver, who possessed neither arms nor
valuables, was allowed to escape, he
being a half-breed Yaqui.
Martin was superintendent Of the San
Marcial coal mines. He and the Mexi-
cans were moved down by shower Of
bullets before they could make use Of
the rifles with which they were armed.
The driver, who ran all the way TO
Punta de Aqua, gave the alarm. and
an armed posse was organized TO ac-
company the La Dura stage, which
was just starting out upon the road for
San Marcial.
The posse found the Indians still
plundering the stage and dividing the
loot, but being outnumbered the MeXi-
can party at best could only beat back
the YaQuis and escape to San Marcial,
where a large posse was organized, set
out for the scene of the killing and re-
covered the bodies Of the dead.
Luis Estrella, Chief Of Police of Car
DO. reached Hermosillo Sunday with a
score Of prisoners taken after a fight
with the Yaquis between Carlo and
Rayon. Estrella used the Indians own
tactics in pursuing them. He employed
Yaqui guides loyal to the Government
and succeeded in surrounding and de-
feating them without losing a man, al
though seven Indians were killed in the
fight.
Twenty out Of the twenty-five sur
Vivors were captured. The leaders will
be executed and the remainder deport-
ed to Yucatan.

Prince Herbert Suffers From
Cancer and Fatal End
ing IS Expected.

FRIEDRICHSRUHE Sept. 1S.-
Prince Herbert Bismarck's condition is
most grave. His sister, Countess Won
Rantzau, has been summoned to join
the rest of the family, who are already
at Friedrichsruhe.
The Princes malady is now pro-
nounced to be cancer of the liver AL
though he was slightly better to-day
Professors Schweininger and Won Nor
den pronounce the case as hopeless.
1t was announced from F'riedrichs-
ruhe on Saturday that Prince Herbert
Bismarck was seriously i'll and that
contradictory reports had been in cir
culation for some time regarding his
condition. According to one version
the Princes condition was hopeless and
abdominal cancer was limited at. An
other report said the Prince was merely
suffering from ptomaine poisoning, due
to eating bad fish while in England
several months ago.
Prince Herbert is the eldest son of
the late Prince Bismarck. He was
born in Berlin December 2S, 1S49, and
married Margaret, Countess Hoyos, in
1892.

ROBBERS FIND
LITTLE BOOTY
Safe of Rock Island Train
Held Up in Iowa Did Not
Contain a Cent of Money
POSSES AFTER BANDITS
Bloodhounds on the Trail of
Desperadoes, Who Are Be-
lieyed to Be Railroad Men

DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 13.-Ex-
press officials say that the five bandits
who perpetrated a successful holdup Of
the passenger train on the Rock Island
near Let's shortly after midnight this
morning secured no money, though the
safe was blown open and the contents
taken They aver that the safe con-
tanned merchandise of some value,
company papers in transit, etc, but
no money.
Three special trains on which were
posses of railroad and express company
employees and a number of officers were
rushed to the scene of the robbery i'm
mediately upon the receipt of the news,
going from Muscatine, West Liberty
and Davenport. Horses were procured
in the country surrounding Columbus
Junction and in that town, near which
point the robbers left the railroad.
Mounted men with bloodhounds are
securing the country in every direction,
While all trains that pass through Co
lumbuS Junction or nearby points are
being carefully inspected by officers to
ascertain If the bandits are undertake
ing to escape in this way. The en-
gineer and fireman of the train fur
the three men.
The robbery occurred at the end of
sharp curve, exactly where a similar
holdup was engineered two years ago
by the Chicago car barn bandits. The
engineer, as the train rounded the
curve, saw a red lantern on the track
and stopped the train. Immediately
the engine, express car and baggage
car were boarded by the robbers, ap-
parently five in number.
A fusillade of shots was fired along
the sides of the train to prevent in
reference by passengers. The mes
PEELED to open the door and the car
safe was dynamited and the contents
taken, after which the engine crew
was compelled to return to the pas
Senger coaches. The engine was cut off
and the robbers mounted it, ran it west
through Let's and to within two miles
of Columbus Junction, where the en-
gine was left standing on the track.
The manner in which the robbers
handled the engine, their knowledge of
the fact that Let's was a closed station
at night and the selection of a point
contiguous to Columbus Junction to
abandon the engine convince the off,
GERS that the robbers, or some of them,
are experienced railroad men.
Two packs of bloodhounds are work.
ing upon supposed trails of the rob-
bers. The one near Columbus Junction
struck a trail three hours after it was
made by the robbers. A message re-
ceived from the posse states that the
hounds are following the trail and
going in the direction of the Delta,
upon the Mississippi, where the coun-
try is overgrown with stunted timber.

Objection to Labels Bearing
Names of French Districts
Withdrawn After Confer
ence of International Jury
SAN FRANCISCAN
WINS A VICTORY
Test of Vintage Of the Golden
State Is Completed and the
Prediction Is Made That
High HOnors VIII Be Given
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 13.-The interna-
tional jury on wines finished testing the
vintages of California this afternoon.
The members were busily at work all
day yesterday and most of to-day on
the wines of the Golden State. From all
indications California wine producers
have cause to feel jubilant. 1t is felt
by those Watching the interests of the
State that California will carry off
higher honors than she has at any pre-
vious exposition. They make this
statement directly
A few days ago the situation looked
gloomy, and for time there was a
possibility that California wines would
be withdrawn from competition alto
gether. The old protest of France
against wines of any other country
bearing the names of districts within
her borders that had made her own
wines famous was renewed. The jury,
composed mostly of foreigners and
largely of Frenchmen, was in favor of
sustaining the protest.
Henry Lachman, the juror from San
Francisco, reached here Sunday night.
A long conference was held immediate
ly after his arrival between some of the
French jurors, Superintendent Haber
of the California wine exhibit and
Lachman. Many points of dispute were
amicabIy settled.
The jury this morning honored Cali
fornia by electing Mr.. Lachman its
chairman. M. Kester, who was presi-
dent of the Paris jury which threw out
all California wines because they bore
the names of French districts, was
chosen vice chairman.
Lachman's stand in favor of Calffor-
MIA wines won a victory for the State
and settled the point regarding labels.
The concession was made to Califor-
MIA that as long as the wines bearing
typical French labels also bore the
name California so prominently that
there could be no possible deception
they could be entered in competition.
The jurors finished their work well
satisfied and showed utter impartiality
in dealing with California. Among the
Frenchmen on the jury are men known
throughout the world in the wine trade.
They are Calve and Guestien, two of
the biggest shippers of Bordeaux; Kes-
ter of Paris, Buhan and SCHUYLER of
Bordeaux and Foucauld, Farne, Laporte
and Broquet of Cognac; Signor Ruoff
of Italy; DIR. BaSserman Jordan, the
Rhine wine expert of Diedesheim, Ger
many, and Mesquita and Pintso of Lis
bon.
The American jurors are Lachman,
Leej Vance of New York; w. B. At
wood of Blackberry, Va; Judus Schulz
Ter of Indianapolis; John Ludwig of
Winona, Mimi: w. H. McNeall of St.
Joseph, Mo-, and E. Dubois of Talla-
hassee, Fla.
Vance will depart for California Sat
urday as the representative of the
American Wine Association to confer
with California growers concerning her
wine and food laws.
The awards here are being made by
classes and not varieties, which is an
advantage to California.

The entire fight centers on the head
of the ticket.
On taking the chair Senator Platt
said:
If the voters of the country are earnestly
seeking an answer to the question as TO which
OF the great political parties should receive
their support it is surely to be found in the
history of the last twelve years Twelve years
ago the Democratic party came into full power
in the Government 1t proceeded at once to
put its policy into force and from that very
hour blight fell upon the nation Crippled
business vanishing opportunities, rising dis
content, impaired national credit. increasing
internal disorder, ever-growing unhappness,
marked as with successive mile stones the
progress Of Democratic administration.
That even lower depths of uncertainty. want
and loss were not reached we attribute to the
fact that it's President better than his
party in all respects but one. The Democratic
party was imbued with the most vicious rad
icalisms. Grover Cleveland, with all his
faults conservative
The Republican party won the election in
1895 and commencing with that very hour pros
perity returned.
Speaking of the two opposing candi-
dates, he ridiculed the suggestion of an
unsafe candidate" saying:
Unsafel Who have been his advisers? Who
stand as his supporters and admirers? Let
me name three of them-three whom all men
honor, all men trust-EIihu Root. John Hay,

Dora de Philippe Will Appear
at Tivoli Opera-House in
"The Serenade."

When Victor Herbert's melodious
comic opera, THE Serenade,' is pro-
duced at the Tivoli next Sunday night
one of the most delightful features Of
the cast will be Dora de Philippe as
Yvonne. This gifted young singer has
established herself as an immense IA
vorite, and it is worthy of remark that
some of her greatest triumphs have
been accomplished when she has been
pitted against formidable artistes who
have had superior opportunity. 1t is
therefore naturally expected that the
splendid chance afforded by Yvonne
will result in the greatest triumph Of
her San Francisco career.
Miss de Filippe will sing the waltz
song, Cupid and l." and will be heard
in the duet "Gaze on This Face so
Noble" with Andrew Bogart, whose
debut on the operatic stage will be
made in "The Serenade." She will also
have several other lyric opportunities.
and the satisfaction of having sung the
prima donna role in the greatest cast
the opera has ever had in this city.
1t is best to settle a quarrel without
any outside interference.
