The kaiser's Condition.

partially inrapacitated him within the

today Of DIR. Doycn, the well-known

Il am satisfied that the kaiser
kidneys are in a bad connition, result
ing from the use Of beer. The infection
that manifested itself first in an abscess
on his right hand and now is showing
itself in an abrasion on the right knee
is l'kcly to become general unless
heroic measures are taken to prevent

Should the infection continue, death
is sure to result. i don't think the
kaiScr's advisors realize the seriousness
Of his condition. In fact, | don't think
the kaiser is cared for intelIigentIy.
1T may he that the kaiser doesn't
drink much beer, but man with
blood out of condition, should not
drink any beer or other alcoholic
leverage

placing June 50 as the limit. Because
OF his feeling that il is unwlse To elect
appointccs for places on the bench dur
ing the recess, the executive has decided
not to name the judges which shall
constitute the court of commerce rs
created in the railroad bill until next
fall. Mr.. Taft has also determined, III
case Justice Moody avails himself OF
the retirement bill which Congress Is
expected TO pass that hcwiII not appoint
Il successor on the supreme bench until
Congress meets in December. This
means that the tobacco and standard
oil trust cases will in all probability be

bers of the highest court since these
cases are set for hearing in November.
Among the nominations recommend

Two judgments for large amounts

This is a recently started enterprise in

CONGRESSIONAL.

The House on Saturday evening
adopted the conference report on
the railroad bill without division
and later accepted in its entirety the
Senate statehood bill. The president
signed the railroad bill on Saturday
night and will probably sign the state
hood bill today.
The Senate took up the postal say
ngs bank bill. Senator Carter moved
that the Senate accept the House
amendment to the bill, and thus save
the delay of Il conference. Senators
CummIus andBacon opposcd the motion
but each OF them took occasion to say
that there would be no difficulty in
reaching Il vote on Monday, which
means that the postal savings bank
bill will be ut the White House for the
Presidents signature early tomorrow
morning.
With these three great sources Of de-
bate and contention entirely out OF the
way there remains before Congress only
the conservation bill, and, while the
western senators still loudly proclaim
that they will insist on an authorization
Of $50, 900, 600 worth Of certificates of
Indebtedness for reclamation purposesr
it is more than likely that they will
fOrcgo defiance, exercise discretion
and accept the $50, 000,000 which the
House offers.
The general deficiency bill was passed
by the House.
The omnibus building bill, carrying
authorizations aggrcgating 81, 1872, 800
was reported.
Speaker Cannon made speech in de-
Tense Of the rules.
With the exception Of the public
buildings bill.n further new legislation
is contemplated at this session.
Accordingly every indication points
Ia an adjournment by the end of next

ParaiIcrS Poisoned.

Vienna, June 20.-Polsoning OF the
waters Of spring near Trau, in Dali
matia is responsible for the immediate
death of three religious professionals,
the probable fatal lines OF 200 others
and the serious condition Of at least
another hundred. The hospitals at
Trau are today crowded with the
victims OF the poisoning outrage.
During q religious parade yesterday
in the Trau Diocese, the procession
passed a famous alkaline and sulphur
spring. The day was insufferahIy hot
and the proccssionists broke ranks and
rushed to the spring. In the disorder
one of the attendants ut the spring
was tramplcd and killed.
The thirsty paraders drank eagerly
of the water and three died within 4
minute. Others became violently Ill
at once and the religious observance
was abandoned, the priests turning
their attention to caring for stricken
men, women and children. Fifty of
the proccSsionists were placed under
arrest today, charged with the murder
Of the attendants. No clue to the
poisoning has been found.

San Francisco with his training staff
late this afternoon or tonight. Tom
Flanagan, his manager, has wired for
accommodation for the whole party
at Reno, indicating he is sure the battle
will be fought at that point. AN Fran
cisco people are wild that the fight is
to go away from here, but thousands
OF them are preparing to follow 1t to
Reno. The railroads running there are
already making preparations for special
trains to handle the crowds.
Tex Richard today made the positive
announcement that the Jcffrics-John-
son fight would take place in either
Reno or GoldhcId on the afternoon of

Richard left Frisco today for Reno.
In that town he will meet delegations
from Reno and Goldtield and listen to
their proposition. He will then an

ever, point to Reno as sure to get the
scrap. Mayor Mccarthy, Of this city,
visited Governor Gillctt in Sacramento
yesterday. Their meeting was in
secret, but at its conclusion Glllctt said
Mccarthy had made no effort to Inliu-
cncc him in the fight matter. My
mind is made up and will not be
changed" said Gillctt This fight
cannot occur on California soil. "
Promoter Louis Blot, who is pulling
off the Observation-Disclosures fight, has
given up the idea Of having a test fight
10y afternoon. Aw, what's the usc?'
was his only comment. Governor
Gillctt was praised from the pulpit all
over California yesterday.
