TSAI FU LANDS.
Chinese Prince Greeted by News of the
Empress'S Death.

San Francisco, Nov. z3-Conveying to
the American government the gratitude
of the Chinese people for remittance of
a debt amounting to nearly $4,000, 900,
Tang Shao vi, a powerful figure in the
affairs of the Chinese empire, arrived
in San Francisco on the steamer Mon
golia. With him was Prince Tsai Flu. a
member of the royal family, and a large
retinue.
Thrice in the history of the oldest ma
uion has there arisen occasion for the
appointment of such a commission as is
domiciled in the Fairmont hotel and
never has foreign power been so
strongly represented through diplomat
iC channels during the period of a crisis
of worldwide import.
In his honor the dragon few from
the maStheads of a score of vessels in
the bay, guns mounted on the haroor
front doomed out salute and thou
sands of his countrymen, silk robed or
silk hated, thronged the dock where
his escort landed
Not until the Mongolia dropped an
chor in the harbors did Tang Shao VI
and his staff learn that the dowager
empress of China was dead. In Hon
olulu the cable brought news of the.
emperor's death, but said nothing OF
the dangerous illness that threatened
the end of the dowager empress re-
marka BILE career It was only when
Hsu Ping Chen. tl1e onsul general at
San Francisco, boafded the steamer
with score of cab4egramS from the
far east, that the distinguished visitor
was acquainted with the full extent of
the changes that had occurred since
his departure. Even the habitual ORR
entail reserve did not suffice to conceal
his perturba ton, and while dignitaries
of the state and government awaited
his attention, he scanned message after
message apparently unconscious OF
their presence. In accordance with the
L, T. i've
remain practically secluded during It's
stay of three days and the local Chi
nese colony's arrangements for costly
banquets and other forms OF entertain
ment have been cancelled. In all other
respects, however, the mission of the
special embassy will be fulfilled and
Tang Shao vi, with the so members OF
his retinue, will go directly to WASH
ington. where he will remain until after
the inauguration of President-elect
William H. Taft.

HIT BY A CAR.
Mrs. Charlotte LindeH Is Painfully
Injured.

While crossing a double track just
behind an east bound street car, Mrs.
Charlotte Lindell of 412 Fillmore
street was hit by a westbound car at
Sixth and Fillmore Saturday evening
about $50 o'clock and knocked to the
pavement narrowly escaping death un-
der the wheels of the fast approach
ing car. Mrs. Lindell had just accom-
panied her. son, Albert V. LindeIl to
the car line and when he had boarded
the eastbound car for the city she
turned north intending to return to
her home and as she stepped on the
track the west car hit her.
Her son was on the back platform
of the car when the accident occurred
and his warning cry saved her from
death Mr.. Lindell had heard the
rumble of the car and feeling that
something would happen he called to
his mother She heard him but step
ped back too late to get clear of the
car and the corner of the front Vesti-
bule struck her in the forehead knock
ing her to the pavement. She has a
cash about two or three inches long in
the forehead and bruises on the arms
and shoulder. Today she is able to
be up and around the house. Although
she is 76 years old she is a woman
of remarkable vigor and it is this that
has fought the bruises.
The double track sysI en- in Topeka
is run on a "rube" plan. There is no
the gong to warn passengers who step
off from one car and pass behind it to
go to the other side of the street. Mrs.
Lindell failed to hear the gong last
night and with the buzz of the starting
ca st bound car in her ears it was i'm
possible to hear anything else. In any
city where the double track system is
used it is an iron clad rule that no
car shall pass another going the op-
posite direction when the other is
nc a+ cfro A
orman who disobeys this rule is fired
from the force at once and the street
railway is liable to a heavy fine from
the city. There have been hundreds
of such accidents in Topeka every
year and the local railway should loos-
en- up on their ''rube" methods. To-
peka has adopted the law against
tjay' driving on the streets and if this
rule would be applied to the street
cars IL would probably save many in
juries and possibly some lives.

HENEY ABLE TO TALK.
He Gives Out an Interview on the
Graft Prosecution.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 23.-The
Call this morning prints the first in
terview granted to the press by Francis
j. Heney since the district attorney was
shot in Judge Lawler's court room,
November IA, by Morris Haas, while
the hearing of one of the cases against
Ruef was in progress
After expressing devout thanks for
his escape Mr.. Heney said:
I'm this great human battle against
vice and corruption let no one believe
the individual dynamiters, jury bribers
kidnapers and assass1nS and that their
determination means ultimate victory
Such beings are but the bubbles from
the pool of filth that has been years in
making The seed has been sown and
we must reap the harvest, but in gath
ering the tares let US be satisfied with
nothing but the root.
1T has been terrible sacrifice, but if
nv blood has not been shed in vain, If
the assassin's bullet has suddenly dis
closed to the public eye the hideous
ness of the gigantic conspiracy to de-
feat the law, then I shall feel that 1
have not lived in vain, that my poor
efforts have met with irnmeasurable
benefit to nv beloved city and state"
The foregoing is a part of the state
nent which is published over Mr..
Heney's signature. The wounded man
is well on the road to recovery and
stated that he was eager to get back to
the prosecution of the graft cases

POTTERY SCHEDULE.
Is Expected to Be Warmly Contested
at Tariff Hearing.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Many points
were expected to be contested at the
hearing today before the house ways
and means committee for considering
changes in the tariff on earths, earth
enware and glassware. The bureau of
manufa ctures of the department of
commerce and labor had issued an ex-
haustiVe report on the pottery indus
try of Germany. This document, pre-
pared by special agent Charles NJ.
Pepper for the use of congress in its
much information regarding the ex-
ports of pottery to the United States,
the cost of labor and material, freight
rates and profits of the industry in
Germany.
Mr.. Pepper places the total annual
pottery output of Germany at from
$45, 900, 600 to $50,00O,OOO, an increase
of from 80 to 100 per cent within 10
years. About one-half the produce is
exported to other countries, and in
1907, the expectation to the United
of the articles brought to this country
consists of tablewares, the production
of which, according to Mr.. Pepper, is
largely regulated by general organ
ization which not only fixes prices, but
also undertakes to control to some ex-
tent the relations of the manufactur-
ers and their employees.
The wages of German pottery
workmen range from Sc cents to
men, while women earn from $2.16 to
S2.64 per week. Notwithstanding these
modest wages, Mr.. Pepper estimates
that labor represents 40 per cent of
the cost of pottery produced in Ger
many

FILES HIS PETITION.
General Bonaparte Asks for Writ of
Certiorari.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte filed today a petition
for writ of certiorari in the supreme
court of the United States urging that
court to issue a writ of certiorari to
the circuit court Of appeals for the sew
enth circuit to review the Judgment
OF that court reversing the rulings of
Judge Landis in the case in which the
lion dollars on the charge of violating
the antitrust law. The attorney gem
eral takes the position that the court
of appeals was without jurisdiction
when it reversed Judge Lands decis-
ion.
The wording of the governments
petition indicates that the department
of justice is fully aware of the courts s
practice of denying 80 per cent of such
petitions. The court grants these petit
tions only when constitutional ques-
tions are involved and the attorney
general makes a strong effort to have
it appear that the present case falls
within this category. Much of the
body of the petition is devoted to ad-
duc1ng reasons why the court should
review the controversy.
Whether, says the petition. "ths
government is or is not right in its
contentious, we respectfully but very
earnestly urge that the court should
consequence. The principles decided
control the entire meaning and purpose
of the law and impair the underlying
policy of congress. If for example it is
necessary that the government should
prove actual knowledge by the shipper
of the lawful rate the law will be al
together deprived of effect against the
very shippers who violate it. In the
view of the government it is extremely
important that the law should be de-
termined and expounded now at this
stage of the present case, by this
court"
The attorney general also takes the
position that the supreme court is
vested by law with authority to order
any case of which circuit court OF ap-
peals has final jurisdiction to be
brought up by certiorari and to de-
termine it in the same manner as If 1t
had been taken up on appeal or writ
of error by the defendant.
1T can not" he says, "be true that
the authority of this court to exercise
Jurisdiction in the interest of the whole
people in such a case as this may be
cut off by a convicted defendants
choice of the forum inferiorem."
In conclusion the attorney general
called attention to the fact that he ap-
pears merely as the representative of
the whole people and he says that his
only purpose is to suggest to the court
that the case is of such nature that
it is to the interest of the entire coun-
try it should be reviewed and authori-
tiatvely determined by the highest court
of the nation.
It is understood that the petition will
be formally presented to the court when
it reconvenes next Monday but 1t pro
badly will not be acted upon for some
time thereafter.
If the petition is granted the entire
case will be reviewed by the supreme
court If it is denied the decision of
the court of appeals will stand.

illuminating oils thread and cutlery.
Further on Mr.. Carnegie says:
THE infant we have nurSed ap-
proaches the day when he should be
weaned from tariff milk and fed upon
the stronger food of free competition.
1t needs little if any more nursing,
but the change should not be made
abruptly 1t is better to err upon the
safe side, if we err at all, but he is
the best of protectionists who cor
reefs all faults as they are revealed
and positively declines to subject the
nation to protection in any branch
where it is not clearly needed. afford
ing protection always with the resolve
that it shall be temporary.
There is no occasion for haste or
for any revolutionary step in coming
tariff legislation. 1t is better to go
little slow than little too fast. In
the writer's opinion. the revision of
the tariff could today safely and ad-
YantageOuSIy be made radical one
upon the lines suggested; but. if Con-
gress, in Difference to the timid
manufacturer. whom we have always

turb his dreams unduly, and only.
