BKESDAiTJ, Nov. 16. Emperor "William
was the object of an attempted, outrage
today which, however, failed: As he was
driving In an open, carriage.to the Cuiras
sier Barracks, accompanied by the hered
itary Prince of Saxe-Melnlnger, a woman
1m the crowd hurled a short hand-chopper,
or hatchet, at the carriage. The hatchet
struck the carriage, but the rapidity with
which the vehicle was passing saved its
occupants.
The -woman's name is Selma Schnapke.
She occupied a place in the front rank of
the spectators on the side furthermost
from the Emperor. A crowd of people
who witnessed the outrage threw them
selves on his majesty's assailant, but
the prompt intervention of the police
saved the woman from injury. The as
sailant is a tradeswoman of Breslau. A
provisional medical examination of the
prisoner has been made and she has been
pronounced insane.
"While Emperor William was returning
from the barracks to the railroad station
he was cheered by an immense crowd. oC
people who were gathered along the route.
"While the attack upon the Kaiser may
not have formed any part of an interna
tional plot, there is no doubt that unusual
anarchist activity is developing in various
countries of Europe, and that the police
are taking exceptional precautions against
it. The ontire line f railway from Buda
Pest to GoebeeHoo. at which is situated
the palace of Empress Francis Joseph,
is guarded by special police, a thing which
was never done before. Otto Albrecht,
editor of Neus Lenten, an anarchist pa
per published in Berlin; was arrested to
day. The woman stoutly resisted .arrest. Con
trary to the first reports it is now said
that she was born In upper Silesia, but
has been living In Breslau, where she
kept a small shop.
According to most reports. Emperor
"William did not notice the incident, but
the Breslau Sobleechlc Morning Zeltung
says he saw what had happened and
turned very pale, but continued to greet
the bystanders pleasantly. According to,
a special to the Ixkal Anzelger, His Maj
esty was apparently in a serious mood
after the Incident.
The entire Breslau garrison was imme
diately alarmed and drawn up in line on
both sides of the route which the Em
peror took in returning from the barracks
to the depot after luncheon.
The news of the attempt made a great
sensation here. It was first reported on
the Bourse, where the market weakened.
The evening papers printed the details
in double-leaded type. All accounts
agreed that the woman is demented. It
seems that she appeared this morning in
the Breslau Court In lunacy proceedings
against herself carrying an ax, which did
not attract special attention. The case
being postponed, she went directly to see
the procession, carrying the ax under her
cloak.
There is considerable conflict in the
various reports of the incident. Private
dispatches differ from the official tele
grams. The former say that the ax or
hatchet, which was sharply ground,
struck a spoke in the hind wheel and
then fell. Another report saya tho woman
Btooped to try to get the ax again. "When
arrested and on the way to tho police
station she repeatedly exclaimed: "He
ordered me to. do it. He ordered me to
do it."
The following version of the attack ap
peared in an extra edition of the Lokal
Anzelger this afternoon:
"As the Kaiser, at 12:16 P. M., shortly
after arriving at Breslau, drove with tho
hereditary Prince of Saxe-Melningen in
"his carriage from the depot to the castle,
a poorly clad woman in the Darten
Strasse. threw a hatchet, which, until
then, she had kept hidden under a shawl,
at His Majesty's carriage. The hatchet
hit the carriage and fell to the ground.
The Kaiser quietly continued the drive,
while the woman was seized by by
standers, and the police who hastened
to the scene arrested her."
WEYLER AGAIN TALKING.
Defends Ills Action In Cuba Before
the "War.
NEW TORK, Nov. 16. A dispatch to
tho Herald from Paris says:
General Weyler has emerged from his
Ehell and flres some ho shot at Anglo
Saxons In general In an interview given
to the Figaro's correspondent. He opened
by saying that he once more protested
against the abominable reputation created
for him by the American and English
journals for political purposes. He con
tinued: "When I was Governor-General of Cu
ba and was defending the sovereignty of
Spain in that colony, the least of my acts
of war was distorted by the press of the
English-speaking nations. I never troubled
myself about that, fpr J, always did only
my duty as a soldier without lending ear
to rumors of what was going on outside
my province.
- "I have noted since with sorrow that
those lying stories, these calumnies, have
found an echo in Europe. It has required
the events In the Transvaal and the
etories ef the real cruelties committed
upon the Boers by Lord Roberts and the
English for European military writers to
acknowledge that I never conducted my
self In Cuba as the British have done in
South Africa. People are now beginning
to do ma Justice.
"The truth of the matter Is that I car
ried on the war in Cuba with the rigor
which war requires. You cannot run
tilts of courtesy and generosity with reb
els and half-civlUzed negroes like our
revolted Cubans, who were accustomed
to massacre in horrible fashion the sol
diers they had captured. People should
have seen our poor Spanish soldiers, those
hrave Mttle soldiers of 19 and 20 years of
age. fighting with the Cubans, to under
stand the real horror of that war. Peo
ple would have to have seen the ex
cesses of whoh the Cubans were guilty
In the treatment of their prisoners, to
have seen them torturing them and put
ting them through a slow martyrdom
end mutilating their dead bodies, to un
derstand the peculiar character of that
war.
"But never mind that. I did my duty
as a soldier and am ready to do it again.
My best reply to my traducers Is the es
teem and affection in which I am hold by
the whole Spanish Army the marks of
devotion which have always been lavished
upon me by my companions in arms,
"both those in Cuba and those In the
peninsular.
"If I had been able to gather together
a strong Conservative party after the
death of Canovas I should have prevented
the loss of Cuba. At the head of the
Spanish troops which were then In the
Island I should have driven the Ameri
cans iato the sea. The hasty levies of
Americans would never have heen abje to
cope with the Spaniards. I should never
have asked for a Heet to be sent to me.
My resources down there (In Cuba) were
Quite ample.
'General Blanco made terrible mis
takes. He concentrated all his troops In
Havana instead of adopting taotlcs which
would have permitted him to devote his
Interests to the points threatened by the
Americans. It would have been easy to
have saved. Santiago by dispatching there
reinforcements at an earlier stage and
wittugreater rapidity. But It is too late
now. What's the use of crying over split
tnilkt Politics lost our colonies. No
blame whatever can attach to the army.
All that It did was to obey orders. It was
in nowise responsible, for our disaster."
THE FRENCH FIEU5 GBX SfeCRET.
French Paper- Sajrs It "Will Result in
the, .Replacing of porter. -, ,
'NEW YORK," Nov. 16. A dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says:
The following statement is given prom
inence in La Presse:
"A personage who claims to be thor
oughly acquainted with what is going- on
behind the scenes on the matter of the
dlvulgence of the secrets of the latest
French field gun to the United States,
makes the following statement:
" This affair is connected with the sud
den departure for Gibraltar of an officer
of the United States Navy, who was em
ployed in the foreign section of the ex
position, having fulfilled his function as
the naval attache at the Embassy. The
field gun Incident was also the cause of
the sudden handing over of the Embassy
to the First Secretary by General Horace
Porter and his departure for Spain. The
former naval attache in question, who
was born of British parents and devoted
above all to the Embassy in the Faubourg
Saint Honore, acted almost openly a3 a
spy jfor several powers.'
"The departure of General Horace Por
ter, which Is give out as temporary, is
really final, and ho will be replaced in
Paris by John Irishman, United States
Minister to Berne, a diplomat of the high
est character, whose Independence vls-a-vls
the English Embassy can be counted
upon for maintenance of good relations
"between the French Republic and the
United States."
Lieutenant Sims Not Concerned In It.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 16. It is said at
the Navy Department that the effort J
made in some of the French, newspapers'
to connect Lieutenant Sims, late naval
attache at Paris, with the disclosures rel
ative to the French gun, are based upon
misapprehension of the facts. Lieuten
ant Sims was slated for sea duty many
months ago, and, In fact, the department
named and sent over a successor to him
In the capacity of a naval attache to the
United States embassy in the person of
Commander Giles B. Harber. Lieuten
ant Sims was detained in Paris for some
months by the department at the request
of tho Pollock heirs, having been charged
with the distribution of the munificent
prizes bestowed by them upon the in
ventors of devices for saving life at sea.
However, this work was wound up some
time ago, and Lieutenant Sims was or
dered from Paris to Gibraltar solely for
the purpose of joining there the battle
ship Kentucky, which is roakine her way
out tp Manila via Suez. He boarded the
Kentucky and began his work long be
fore the first publication relative to ,thls
disclosure of the secret French gun. The
officials 'hero ridicule the story that Gen
eral Horace Porter Is m any way involved
in this scandal. In fact, they cortend no
one connected with the embassy has been
smirched, and assert that the French
Government has not made even the small
est inquiry which would indicate a lack
of confidence.

DR. EDWARD ROSS.,
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Nov. 16.-The San Francisco Alumni Associa
tion has taken up Professor Ross' resignation, with the avowed purpose of ex
pressing opinion that the welfare of the university, if its future is to be con
sidered, is above a personal difference leading to the resignation, of a professor.
'Frank V. Kesstlng, representing the association, .says:
"While the Alumni sympathizes with Ross in his predicament, we cannot but
see' that Mrs. Stanforda reasons are goodand sufficient, and there la an end of
It There is no doubt In the minds of the Alumni, that Dr. Ross has been indis
creet. The "personal reasons' -we have found to bo In Dr. Ross' frequent deroga
tory references to Senator Stanford." c
Professor Ross was well-known in
lectures. He was considered an ardent
of the truth. -Parker's manager and chief
second, Billy Edwards, asserted that Slier'
had countedpnusualy, fast, and that in
reality but six seconds of time had
elapsed when Slier declared Parker out'
and awarded the contest to Gans.
The men weighed in this afternoon at 3
o'clock, Parker at 132 pounds and Gans
at 133. Both men looked In good condi
tion, though Parker appeared a little too
finely trained. At first Parker appeared
nervous and sparred cautiously. Gans
tried to draw him out and sent him to
the floor "twice, once with a straight left
to the Jaw and again with a left swing
to the same place. In the second round,'
Gans waited and Pander tried several
swings, which were neatly blocked. Par
ker then smashed his right Into Joe's
body several times and got right and left
swings to the head. This success gave
him courage and he rushed Joe, who up
percut him hard on the jaw as they
clinched. There was sharp Infighting,
followed by clinches, Parker complaining
to the referee that Joe was holding him.
Parker started off In the third by swing
ing hard on Joe's head with his right,
and Gans split the Kid's ear with a vig
orous left swing. Joe swung right and
left to Parker's head and they worked
towards the latter' s corner. Joe then up
percut Parker on the stomach and swung
his right to the Kid's ear. Parker tried
to clinch and received a hard right up
percut on the jaw. In a mix, Gans land-
ed a right and a left on the body and
Parker countered hard over the heart,
which made Joe wince. Parker put his
right hard to. Joe's jaw as they broke
from a clinch. Joe returned the cpm
pllment and both landed hard over each
other's heart as the gong sounded.
Gans began the fourth with a right over
the heart, following It up with a left
hook to the jaw and a right swing to
the head. A light left to the forehead
and a right to the head by Gans and a
hard left by Parker to Gans' stomach
followed. Gans put his left to the Kid's
head and his right to the body and
blocked a terrific left aimed at the Jaw.
There was an exchange of body blows
and Parker swung his right to the shoul
der, Gans countering on the body. Joe
then swung his right to the Kid's head
and Parker put two hard rights on the
jaw, which made Joe cautions. They
mixed it up, neither appearing much dam
aged, and were sparlrng for an opening
when Joe hooked his right under tne
Kid's ear, putting him down and out. The
blow was sent so quickly that few besides
Referee Slier knew what had happened
to the Kid, and there were inquiries from
all sides as to what was the matter with
Parker many thinking that he had been
overcome by vertigo.

' .APACHES ON A RAID.
Ten indians and Four "Whites Killed
at a Mexican Settlement.
.-PHOENIX, Ariz.7Nov. 16. A special
dispatch to the Republican from Casas
Granda, Mex, says:
A band of Apache Indians attempted to
drive away a bunch of stock at the Mor
mon settlement near this place this morn
ing. The settlers gave chase, and in the
fight which ensued four whtles were
killed and seyeral Injured. The Indians
lost 10 killed and seven wounded. It is
said that the raiders were from the San
Carlos reservation, in Arizona, but a mes
sage from there says no Indians have
escaped. The party is probably composed
of Chirlcahua Apaches who fled into Mex
ico many years ago when the Indians'
were rounded up on the reservation. It
Is believed here that the Talders were
Yaquis, although only scattered members
of that tribe now at war against the
Mexican troops are to be -found in the
upper ranges of the Sierra Madre. No
troops were near by, but a message says
that a posse is being formed to chase tho

A ROYALIST DELEGATE,
V v
ROBERT yt. WILCOX "WILL REPRE
SENT HAWAII IN CONGRESS.
Elected "by the Native "Vote by a
Small Majority Snows Bittexnesa
f Affalnst Annexation.
HONOLULU. Nqv. 8. (Via San .Fran
cisco, ov. 16.) Robert 17. Wilcox, the
Independent Royalist candidate, has been
elected Hawaiian delegate to Congress,
by a small majority, over Samuel Parker,
the Republican candidate. His strong
vote among the natives In the outside
districts' carried the day against the
whites and the intelligent native voters
of the cities.'
lewa of the result of the election, which
was brought to Honolulu this morning by
steamers carrying returns from the other
Islands, produced much depression among
all the whites, as Wilcox was strongly
opposed by Republicans and Democrats
alike. His campaign waa an. anti-white
canvass, with promises on the part of
some of his campaign workers that If he
were elected Queen Llliuokalani would
be replaced on the throne. The result
of the vote shows the native bitterness
over annexation to be still alive.
-The Republicans carried Honolulu and
the Island of Oahu for Hon. Samuel Par
ker by 219 plurality, the Democratic can
didate. Prince David Kawananakoa, re
ceiving only about one-third as many
votes as Parker. Today it is reported
that he was "knifed" by ex-Queen Llll
nokalanl, who Is said to have secretly
thrown her Interest to Wilcox. There is
much bitterness against her among the
Democrats, whp hoped that, even if they
did not elect their man, they would at
least so divide tho native vote that Wil
cox would be behind Parker.
, The independent native party have car-
nea tne .House or Representatives by a
large 'majority. They will have 14 of
their men In the House, with nine Repub
licans, and six men who are Independent
and Democratic. In the Senate thore will
be seven Republicans, eight Independents
and one Democrat. With the independents
in-control, a lively session Is expected and
they are against the ruling regime, and
will give Governor J3ole plenty of oppor
tunities for vetoes.
It is likely as a result of the election that
Congress will be asked to establish some
limitations on tho voting privileges. The
natlvea have won upon a race division,
and now many of the whites want a prop
erty qualification for voters. It is argued
that in voting upon a simple color line
many of the natives have shown them-
selvcn unfit for universal suffrage.
The returns which are not quite com
plete show Wilcox 63 vote-j ahead. The
precincts to be heard from are expected
to slightly Increase this plurality. Wil
cox carried every island but Oahu, where
Honolulu is, with its large white popula
tion and with a majority of the more edu
cated natives. The Island of Kauai gave
more votes to Wilcox than to Parker and
Davicl combined.
The most encouraging feature to the
whites of both parties is in the fact that
the Wilcox majority is so small, which
shows that vary many of the natives were
divided upon other than race lines. If
all the natives had cast Wilcox votes his
majority oh each of the islands -vould
have been much larger than It Is. Prob
ably a third of the native population is
aligned with the American parties, and
It Is thought that the future will rapidly
Increase the proportion.
The present prospect Is that the Congressman-elect
will be utterly ignored by
the commercial and other Interests of the
Islands. It is said that Parker will go to
Washington In any event and that thnnirh
htoBtfU have no offlcjal title he will look

Wilcox is very weft known to all peo
ple who are familiar with Hawaiian hfs
tory(. He was & consplcpou,s character in
seVeral revolutions, and has been a po
litical worker since he was first sent to
the Legislature, in 18S0. He was born in
1855, at Honuaula, Maul. His father was
William S. Wilcox, a sea captain of New
port, "R. I., and his mother a native wom
an. Robert Wilcox, when 25 years old,
was elected to the Legislature from Wal
luku district. The Congressman-elect
was one of a party senl by Kinff Kala
kaua to Italy to study in the schools
there. He "went to Turin, where he en
tered a military school. He remained
there till 1887. Wilcox was married in,
Italy lo the Princess Victoria Colonna dl
Stlgliana, daughter of Baron Lorenzo So
brcro. In the Spring of 1S89, he returned
to Honolulu alone, his wife going back
to Italy.
In the revolution of July, 1889, when the
new constitution under Kalakaua was
promulgated, Wilcox took aleadlng part,
and he is also credited with having been
a leader In the abortive revolution which
was for the purpose of placing Llliuoka
lani on the throne before the death of
Kalakaua. A native Jury acquitted him
after the failure of this plot The Na
tional reform party sent Wilcox to the
Legislature in 1800 from Pala, and he was
elected again ,in 1892 from Koolauloa. The
"revolution of 'l893 found him acting with,
the Royalist element. After the over
throw of the Queen, he was in command
of the natives that for a time seemed
likely to give battle to the revolutionists.
In the revolution of 1S95, when an attempt
was made to restore Queen Llliuokalani,
he was again a leader. This time he was
arrested and imprisoned for about a year,
after which he was pardoned by Presi
dent, now Governor, Dole. Wilcox's sec
ond marriage was cbntracted soon after
the Jast revolution. A decree of divorce
had been applied for In Italy, and It Is
claimed by Wilcox that he wae notified
by the Italian Consul here that the de
cree had been Issued before the second
marriage took place. On the other hand.
It has been claimed by his enemies that
he was guilty of bigamy In contracting
the second marriage, and this has been
made the basis of a statement that ho
would be thrown out of Congress, as was
Roberts, of Utah. The present Mrs, Wil
cox was Theresa Owana Kaohelelanl. de

Taft, of the Philippine Copamlsslon, has
received a letter from Judge Taft, dated

"I was very interested to read your
letter and am glad y6u took the trouble to

about o make up.- We have Just passed
a clyil service law, which is, on the
whole, I think, the strictest law that haa
been passed under American auspices.
"I have no dotfbt we 'shall be able to
work out successfully the problems before
us If McKlnley is elected. I do iiot mean
to 'say there are not a great many diffi

toward these islands to be -settled, but
I do mean to say there are none of them
Insupportable. We certainly need new

the completion of the harbor, a work
much of which was done by the Span

its completion. When the harbor facili
ties are better doubtless direct Ameri

I feel confident Manila will become one
of the great ports of the Orient. Only
the surface of the possible .prospective
business of these Islands has been
scratched.
