STRICKEN DEAD AT OPERA.
King Edwards Extra Equerry VIC
tim of Heart Disease.

IeNDON. June 12-While King Edward
and Queen Alexandra We're in attendance
last night at a gala performance or the
opera with the King and Queen of Denmark
as their guests, Maj. Gen. Sir Arthur E. A.
Ellis, extra equerry to the ling, died sud
denly during the production.
The deatI|of Gen. Ellis was due to heart
disease. from which he had long been a
sufferer. There was no premonition of his
seizure. He and Lady Ellis were chat
ting with Sir Frederick Troves and other
friends. when the general gripped his
throat and fell back in his chair uncon-
scious. Aid was promptly rendered by Sir
Frederick and other distinguished phy.l-
clans present, but death was practcahy
instantaneous.
The dramatic side of the picture was in
creased by the fact that Gen. Ellis died
while the cheers announcing the arrival OF
the two royal couples were ringing in the
auditorium and re-echoing from the streets:
Inuuirers were told that the general had
merely tainted away, and the body was
quickly removed to an anteroom.
King Edward was not informed of the
death until after the performance, which
was not Interrupted by the tragic incident
Cen Ellis had been officially connected
with the royal family for forty-one years.
The gala performance at the opera was
arranged in honor of the visit OF the klng
and Queen of Denmark. There were two
separate royal professions from Bucking-
ham Palace to enable the King and Queen
of England to meet their Danish guests at
Covent Garden.
The opera house was transformed by
decorative scheme in flowers, red and white,
the Danish co!ors being used exclusively:
The audience was brilliant and included
the entire diplomatic corps. Excerpts of
three operas were performed and the sing
ers included Melba and Caruso.

NEW YORK, June 12.-Hitherto no Jap

Consequently nobody in the station could
tell whether this little founding, If Jap

case to be done was to send the waif to
Bellevue.

received before o'clock yesterday after
noon, when Admiral Evans made his report.
Undoubtedly he had swept the nearby
waters with the small boats of his feet, and
1t might fairly be expected that the cap
tain of merchant vessel would be glad to
land so many involuntary passengers as
made up the crew and passengers of the
launch before going into deep water.
Built for Heavy Seas.
Naval officers at the department recalled
many perilous passages between ship and
shore in these little steam launches. But
the general opinion was that with careful
management the launches would weather
almost any kind of storm
The conclusion was reached at the Navy
Department that either on account of the
lateness of the hour of the return trip the
Mlnnesotas launch, in her haste, had been
driven hard into the heavy sea that pre-
vailed In Hampton roads that night, or
that the little boat had been run down by
some OF the giant tramp steamers that
make use OF the roads as refuge in time
OF storm. A case was recalled by one of
the officers where launch broke down in
her machinery on her way to the ship to
which she belonged and was swept out to
sea- A yacht went after her, but was soon
herself in distress and was picked up by
one of the big Potomac river steamers and
carried to Norfolk in tow in a sinking con-
dition, being unable to make landing any
where in the roads. The government
steamer Shawmut afterward picked up the
launch many miles away, off Cape Henry.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry
last night sent kilograms to the relatives of
Lieut.. Randall and other victims of the
accident, notifying them of the disappear
ance of the Minnesota's launch

BLAME RACIAL PREJUDICE
JAPANESE STATEMENT AS TO
SAN FRANCISCO TROUBLE.
at Bottom of Assaults Upon
Their Countrymen.

San Francisco, May 30.-The Japan.
ese association, composed of leading
Japanese residents, Wednesday made
the following statement of the Japan
ese view of recent assaults commit.
ted against Japanese in this city:
In the first place, the Japanese
residents of San Francisco realize the
fact that present conditions in this
city made it very difficult for the au-
thorities to extend full protection.
They understand that the strike upon
street railways puts heavy tax upon
the police force and that it is impos-
sible to guard all places at times
against the lawlesS element of the
community.
They are fully convinced, however.
that much of the violence to which
they have been subjected is due to
racial prejudice, and that the at
tempts which are being made in GER
tain quarters to have it appear that
the trouble is confined to quarrels be-
tween laboring men, incidentally in
volving the Japanese, are without
foundation"
After giving a number of specific
instances of attacks on Japanese res
taurants between May 20 and May %,
the statement continues:
The uniformity of these express
sions of hostility to Japanese pre-
cludes the idea that they are acciden-
tai results of chance rows between
white laboring men. They are entire
ly distinct in character from the acts
of violence growing out of the street
car strike where capital and labor are
at war. They are clearly an express
sion of race prejudice, to which the
people of no other nationality are at
present subjected.
THE Japanese residents of San
Francisco further insist that no provo
cation has been given or is being
given for these outrages. They are
peacefully engaged in a lawful occu-
patton, the right to which is guaran-
teed them by treaty stipulations. They
believe that they are fully justified
in protesting against acts which place
their property in jeopardy and their
lives in peril, and they denounce as
unjust such public criticism as attrib-
utes their complaints to mere ca
price"
Toxic, May 30.-A leading newspa-
per here, referring to the recent at
tacks upon Japanese in San Francisco,
reminds the Japanese that they them
anti-foreign sentiment, committed out
RACES on Americans, but that the latter
behaved with patience and modera-
ton. The paper advises the Japanese
nation to show a similar spirit to-day.
