FAILURE OF HIS PLANS
Former Army Lieutenant
Says He Will Yet Liberate
King Leopold's Daughter

BERLIN, April 5.-Mattasich, the
former lieutenant in the Austrian army
whose intrigue with the Princess Louise
of Coburg, eldest daughter of King
Leopold CT Belgium, caused her hus-
band, Prince Philip of Coburg, to have
her detained In a private asylum for
the insane at Coswig, Saxony, made
an unsuccessful attempt to rescue the
Princess several days ago.
Mattasich arrived at Coswig in an
automobile from Berlin expecting the
cooperation of a restaurants keeper
whom he had initiated into the plan,
but the latter told other persons,
through whom the physician in charge
CT the asylum was informed of the
facts in the case. After waiting for
several days in the vicinity to see if
the Princes stock a daily drive, Mat
tasich concluded that the attempt was
useless now, for the Princess was no
where visible.
Mattasich announced in book which
was recently published in Vienna his
infiexible purpose to liberate the Prin-
cess from what he regarded as her
unjust captivity.

ONE IS KILLED
DURING RIOT
Union Men Attack a Body
of Greeks at a Chicago
Cannery and Battle EnsueS

CHICAGO, April 5.-The strike riot
ing at the American Can Companys
plant in this city to-day was fiercer
than it has been at any time, and one
man, John Nichols, lost his life by
bullet fired, it is said. from a train
on which number of nom union men
were being taken back to the city
after the conclusion of the days work.
The fighting began early in the
morning, when 300 Greeks, who have
been employed during the strike, at
tempted to come to the factory. They
were met at the gates by a large num-
ber of union pickets, who attacked
them with stones and clubs. A large
detachment of police had their hands
full to protect the Greeks, when a shot
fired from the crowd aroused the
Greeks to fury. Those of the number
who had entered the factory came
pouring out, armed with knives and
revolvers, and attempted to attack the
union men and their sympathizers,
who were assaulting the Greeks who
had not reached the gateway. The po-
lice, after a desperate struggle, man
aged TO keep the two bodies of men
apart, drove the Greeks into the
factory and dispersed those on the out
side. In this fight number of men
were severely hurt.
At night when the Greeks left the
plant they were attacked by a mob
fully 1000 strong that pelted them with
sticks, stones and bottles. The police,
however, escorted them to the train
without anybody having been serious
ly injured, although quite a number
of men on both sides were bruised.
After the Greeks had reached their
train, it is said, somebody on the cars
fired a shot, the bullet killing John
Nichols instantly.

With the Precious Metal
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA. April 5.-A gold strike of
almost fabulous value is reported from
Eagle, Alaska. Carl NJ. Johansen, the
United States Commissioner, has
wired the Dawson newspapers of an
extraordinary find made on an island
in the middle of the Yukon River just
in front Of Eagle. Great excitement
prevails at Eagle, and already stam-
peders are rushing from Dawson.
A shaft forty-five feet deep was sunk
and during the last thirteen feet was

and the pans were not picked. The
bars up and down the river for con-
siderable distance from the island have
been staked and lays are being renewed
on the island.
Experts say the strike is a most
lucky one. The cheapness of mining
on the river banks and islands is in
ducement enough, while the richness of
the pay on this particular island is
taken by the miners f1oclSing to the
scene as indicating valuable bar dig
gings over wide area The theory is
advanced that it is Forty Mile gold
which may prove to be scattered over
the whole intervening fifty miles of the
Yukon from the mouth OF Forty Mile

AWFUL CRUELTY
OF BELCIANS
Clergyman Tells of the Bar
barous Practices Imposed
Upon the Congo Natives
AN ARMY OF CANNIBALS
During Raids Soldiers Cut
Off Hands to Show White
Officers How Work Is Done

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 5.-Dr.
William Morrison, a Southern Presby-
terian minister to the Congo Free
State, in speaking to the Presbyterian
Ministers Association here, gave an
impressive recital of the alleged bar
barities practiced upon the natives Of
the Congo Free State by those holding
the power and of the obstacles thrown
in the way of their correction by the
authorities.
II lived with the people for seven
years" said DIR. Morrison. Leopold
has there native cannibal army of
10000 men, off1cered by white Belgians
and armed with repeating rifles. The
men, representing the worst and most
savage type of the natives. were first
caught, then carried far away from
their homes and forced into this mill
tary service. There, in turn, this can
nibal soldiery is used to compel the
natives to bring in enormous tribute
of ivory and india rubber. 1t is worth
noting that the King of Belgium is
to-day reDuted the largest dealer IN
ivory and rubber in the world.
LAS a result of this forced labor and
military service, great and unspeaka-
BILE cruelties are practiced on the ma
tive people. 1 have seen a number of
times at least 5000 fleeing into the for
ests to escape from the cannibal SOL
diers of King Leopold; l have seen
these soldiers securing through the
forests, and after catching a number
of men whom the Government wanted
as laborers, going away with the cap
tives tied together by ropes around
their necks. Raids upon villages are
constantly being made. Some of the
people are killed and eaten, others are
hurried away into captivity, and sold;
others are forced into labor and mill
tary service. 1 can buy all the slaves
you want at Luebo at from so to SIS
apiece.
When these raids are made the
most awful cruelties are practiced. In
nocent women and children are killed
or captured, hands are cut off to be
taken back to the white Belgian off,
GERS to show that the work has been
we'll done and great sections are being
depopulated. One of these raids was
made near one of our mission stations
-one of our missionaries went to the
scene and counted eighty-one hands
cut off and drying over a fire, to be
taken back to the Belgian officers;
lying near by.

SAN DIEGO. April 5.-The Pacific
steel Company Of this city to-day
closed a contract with w. A. Aber-
nathy and Theo o. Heydenfeldt for
the purchase OF 10000 acres of coal
land. located in Southeastern Alaska,
and claimed to produce the best coal
10 be found on the west coast OF
America. The purchase price is s17,-
100000 and the amount must be paid
in cash by the LIST Of September. The
purchase is. Of course. made subject
10 the approval Of the title.
The coal fields are located about
fifteen or twenty miles back from
Controllers Bay. about seventy miles
due west OF the base OF Mount St.
Elias. The syndicate owning the
property is headed by w. A. Aber-
nathy and by Harry White. formerly
Mayor of Seattle. On the property
there are ten veins of coal varying in
width from four Ieet TO twenty-eight
feet eight inches. The purchase in
cludes about all the coal land in that
part OF the country with the excep-
tion OF some lands which are owned
by the Canadian Pacific Railroad.
Samples of the coal have been
brought out and have been examined
by the steel company. They run high
in fixed carbonate percentage. being
from IS to 90, and the coke running
from 81 per cent up. There are three
grades OF coal. bituminous, semi
anthracite and anthracite. Abernathy
declares that the glaciers have opened
mp the mines in fine shape, so that
there was nothing TO do with the
proposition but to take the coal out
as one would take il out OF a quarry.
About twenty miles Of railroad would
have TO be built but on it the loads
would go down grade all the way to
the bunkers on the shore.
