THE QUEEN MAY DIE
Wilhelmina's Condition Very
Serious,
SMALL HOP.E OF HER RECOVERY
la the Event o Her Dcatli, Europe
Is Likely to Be Shaken by
a Political Con-
-lulslon.
THE HAGUE, May 5. It -was an
nounced from Castle Loo at midnight
last night that Queen "Wilhelmlna Bad
been prematurely confined at 6 o'clock
yesterday evening. Professor Kosentteln,
Dr. Kosonsteln, Dr. Koeslngs and the
other doctors were in attendance. The
Queen suffered Intense agony. At 11
o'clock Sunday evening the condition of
her majesty was described as critical
and small hope for her recovers' was en
tertained. The Qneen Still Alive.
THE HAGUE, May 5 A message from
Castle Loo, sent at 7 o'clock this morn
ing, says:
' Queen Wilhelmlna is still alive. None
of the doctors attending Her Majesty left
the palace last night, and neither the
Queen Mother nor the Prince Consort
went -to bed. The confinement of the
Queen was long and difficult and artificial
means Tvere resorted to."
IF WIXHEMIIXA SHOULD DIE.
Possibility o a StruRprlc lor Posbcs
tjlon of Holland.
LONDON, May 5 The tardy official ad
mission of the real nature of the illness
of the Queen of Holland, which the As
cnHntPrt Press -was able to announce April
17 from Amsterdam, may be regarded as
an Indication of a very grave crisis In
Her Majesty's condition, and coming so
suddenly upon the bulletins announcing
her Imminent recovery. It will cause a
ehock throughout Europe. Apart from
the difficulties surrounding- the question
of the succession to the throne of Hol
land, the death of Queen Wilhelmlna, if
this should, unhappily, occur, would tend
to convulse the Continent politically. In
Germany especially it Is a. matter of the
deepest Importance. The German press
claims that Prlnco Albrecht, of Hohen
zollern, the acting regent of Brunswick,
is among the nearest in the Dutch suc
cession, and in all the European capitals
nervous apprehension exists that the ab
sence of a direct heir to the Dutch throne
might precipitate a struggle for the pos
session of Holland, which in Berlin Is re
garded as Germany's natural right.
3IEETS THE KING'S APPROVAL.
Inspection, of the Coronation Ar
rangements at Westminster.
LONDON, May 4.T-Kinff Edward last
week paid a visit to "Westminster Abbey,
which Is now almost hidden from sight
by the hideous scaffolding of the encir
cling stands. The King minutely in
spected the arrangements, expressed
satisfaction and congratulated the Duke
of Norfolk, the hereditary Earl Marshal
and Chief Butler of England, on the
way in "which tho nork had been execu
ted. Arrangements are pending by which
those who are to be present at the coro
nation will have a short interval for re
freshments. Thls will be done by the
establishment of a lunch room in one
of the ancient cloisters. Even with the
Abbey ceremony, the service will be
very long and It is considered essential
that the party and the guests should have
gome handy place where the pangs cf
hunger and exhaustion may be allayed.
The Peeresses are n colnsternatlon.
According to the present arrangements,
the latest hour at which they will be
admitted to Westminster Abbey on coro
nation day will be 8:30 A. M., while they
are advised to he present at B o'clock.
The calculation is made In order to ad
just their robes and prepare other de
tails, the peeresses will be obliged to
rise long before the sun is up on the day
the King is crowned, and even then, as
the Westminster Gazette says, not all
tho artists of Paris and London will be
equal to the emergency.
A SUCCESSFUL AIRSHIP.
Another Brazilian Aeronaut Navi
gates the Air.
PARIS, May 4. In spite of the threat
ening weather, Agusto Zevero, the Bra
zilian aeronaut, made a successful first
trial with his airship at Vauglrard Aero
static Park today. Senor Zevero's airship
Is called La Palx. The balloon, held by
a rope, ascended 40 meters. The motors
were then started. The balloon obeyed
the impulse of Its propellors, steering
easily and maintaining perfect equilibri
um. After maneuvering for a short
time, Senor Zevero returned tho airship
to Its shed. The few persons who were
present at tho park enthusiastically ap
plauded Senor Zevero and the two assist
ants who accompanied him in the ascent.
La Pralx is not unlike Santos-Dumont's
airships in its appearance, but it differs
from them in many details. Tho gas ca
pacity of La Paix is nearly four times
that of Santos Dumont's airships. It has
three main propellors and two smaller
ones used for steering and in ascending
and descending. The two petroleum
motors of La Palx are of 24 and 16 horse
power, respectively. Senor Zevero said
he would not make another trial until
there was perfectly fair weather and
that he would then attempt to extend his
flight.
FIRE BURNED TWO DAYS.
Blxty-one Bodies Recovered- at Mil
Gamer, Egjpt.
CAIRO, Egypt, May 4. The fire at Mil
Gamer, a town on the right bank of the
Damietta branch of the Nile, in which a
number of lives were lost and thousands
of native residences were destroyed,
burned from Thursday afternoon until
Saturday night. The inhabitants of the
town were unable to escape from their
HImsy wood and straw houses and burned
therein or" lost their lives while trying: to
rescue their belongings. Sixty-one bodies
have already been recovered. Eight other
persons have been seriously injured.
Russian Town Nearly Destroyed.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 4. Half of the
town of Bobruisk, In the Province of

GERMAN POTASH DEAL.
Rockefeller Is Behind the American
Syndicate.
BERLIN, May 4. John D. Rockefeller,
It is understood, Is behind the Virginia
North Carolina Chemical Company's de
signs on the German potash fields. While
S. T. Morgan, C. D. Crenshaw and E. C.
Sputsbury are the only Americans taking
part In the conferences which are being
held dally at the Hotel Bristol with the
members of the German potash syndicate,
Peter B. Bradley and S. F. Gibbons, rep
resenting Mr. Rockefeller, are at the
feame hotel waiting for the outcome of the
negotiations and prepared to finance the
project. Mr. Bradley, in behalf of him
self and Mr. Gibbons, firmly denies that
they are here for any such purpose, but
the potash syndicate people of Stassfurt
have been so Informed. The ownership
of the syndicate properties is widely dis
tributed, and buying control of the prop-
ertles Is likely to require months and
capital exceeding J5O.O00.OO0 The only
thing which may cause the Americans'
withdrawal from the. attempt Is that some
of the properties operated by the syndi
cate belong to the Prussian Treasury,
which Is also the owner of large un
worked properties. The Americans must
secure a lease of these for long terms K
they wish to dominate the Industry.

cording to the Confucian tablets. Mr.

discrimination shall be made against
Christians, and says that such a policy
would lead foreigners to question the
good faith of China In carrying out this
obligation.

the work of writing an authorized biog
raphy of Lord Beaconsfleld. She Is at

persons gathered in a Broome-street hall

time the officers had reached the plat
form. Most was addressing the crowd in

Demand for an Irrigation Dill.
WASHINGTON, May 4 Senators and
Representatives are receiving a number
of petitions and memorials from com
mercial bodies in all parts of the United
States urging them to support the gen
eral irrigation bill now pending on the
House calendar. These petitions assert
that inasmuch as the bill has passed the
Senate, and has been amended to conform
to the ideas and wishes of the President,
and the House committee on irrigation,
it should be given a hearing in the House.
The petitioners take a broad viaw of the
subject, and maintain that in considera
tion of the vast amount"of benefit to ba
derived from the passage of the general
law It should be adopted without delay
as a National measure. It is believed that
the fact that commercial bodies, such as
chambers of commerce, boards of trade,
etc, of the leading cities. East as well as
West, are supporting this bill, a fresh
Interest will be taken in the subject,
which may lead to Its consideration by
tho House a reasonable time before the
adjournment of the present session of
Congress.

TRAGEDY AT LOS ANGELES
CHICAGO DOCTOR KILLED IN BAT
TLE WITH DETECTIVES.
Attempting to Serve Papers on. Him,
He Opened Fire on Them,
Wounding One.
LOS ANGELES, May 4. In a fierce bat
tle with detectives late this afternoon. Dr.
E. W. Aldricb, of Chicago, was'kllled and
City Detective Hawley seriously wounded.
The fight occurred at the offices of Dr.
Aldrich In the Hotel Savoy, at Fourth and
Broadway.
Captain of Detectives Bradlsh, City De
tective Hawley, a Chicago officer, and a
reporter went to Aldrlch'a offices to serve
requisition papers which the Governor had
granted on the request of the Governor
of Illinois, for the return of Aldrich to
Chicago, where he was wanted to answer
to the charges of -perjury and bigamy.
When the officers entered the room, De
tective Hawley immediately began reading
tho document. Aldrich stood In the door
way of his private office, and as soon
as he realized the purport of the paper,
he turned and seized a pistol off his desk,
but before he could level It at the offi
cers he was seized by Bradlsh and Haw
ley. In the scuffle Aldrich placed the re
volver to Hawley's back and fired. The
bullet entered below the shoulder blade
and Imbedded ltsejf In the muscles.
Shaking off the officers, Aldrich rushed
Into his private office, locked the door,
seized a rifle and began firing through
the glass door. One ot the bullets bare
ly missed the reporter, and others Imbed
ded themselves In the door. Bradlsh fired
through the door, the bullet striking Al
drich two inches below the navei, perior
atlng the bowels. Realizing that he was
cornered, Aldrich placed the muzzle of
the rifle to his nostril and pulled the trig
ger. The bullet entered the brain. He
died instantly. His self-inflicted wound
left not a trace.
Not much Is known of Aldrich in this
city. He came here some time ago and
opened sumptuously furnished offices in
the Hotel Savoy, where he apparently had
conducted a successful business.

SOUTH CAROLINA CONTEST
Senator McLaurin's Appeal to the
People of His State.
WASHINGTON, May 4. Senator Mc
Laurin, of South Carolina, has Issued an
appeal to the people of his state in wnicn
he recites the history of the breach be
tween himself and his party associates,
growing out of his attitude on the tariff
and Spanish War questions. He con
tinues: "Last Summer, recognizing my respon
sibility to the people, there being no
campaign in the state, I announced my
Intention of going before them for the
purpose of discussing these National Is
sues. I was immediately and violently
assailed for advocating Republican doc
trines, and branded as a Republican In
Democratic disguise. The State Demo
cratic Executive Committee met, and, un
der the dictation of my colleague In the
Senate, formally declared that I was not
a Democrat, which formed the basis for
similar action on the -part of tne .Demo
cratic caucus of the United States Sen
ate. Since that time the war against me
has been persistently waged. The policy
of my opponents has been to belittle the
real Issues into a personal quarrel be
tween 'Tillman and McLaurln.' This Issue
I am not willing to accept, as I do not
propose to be Influenced in my public
course by 'personal spleen or petty jeal
ousy. "Now the proposition of my political
enemies Is to exclude me from the pri
maries as a candidate, and to exclude all
candidates for office who entertain my
views, and thus prevent the people from
hearing me and from hearing them In
justification of my course and in -advocacy
of the absorbing public measures
now confronting the American public. I
am absolutely convinced and forewarned
of this purpose to exclude me and my
friends, because I have read the speech
of Senator Tillman, the acknowledge dic
tator of the Democratic machine of South
Carolina, delivered at Manning, in which
he directs a revision of the rules and
form of oath of the party, for the pur
pose of excluding myself and friends from
participation In the primary.
Tt Is a matter ot no concern to me
what may he the action of the May con
vention as to the rules of thd primary
and. a revision of its pledges. The sup
pression of free speech and Independence
of action in voting by such means renders
it Impossible for any self-respecting citi
zen, holding my views, to become a can
didate in the Democratic primary in South
Carolina. I realize that many of my
local friends would even once more hold
In check their resolution not again to en
ter our system of primary elections in
order again to vote for me. but I have
reached the point where I will not subject
them to subscribing to an oath to support
men and measures which do not represent
their views upon the Issues facing the
American people today."

HIS CONDITION GRAVE
ARCHBISHOP CORRIGAN TAKES
TTJRN FOR THE WORSE.
His Physician States That He Is Br
No Means Out of
J.w, w. Danger. . L
NEW YORK, May 4. Much concern is
felt over the case of Archbishop Corrlgan,
as Dr. Keyes, the attending phslclan.
announced tonight after his visit to the
bedside of the prelate that his condition
Is still dangerous, and there Is a possibil
ity that it may become more critical.
"Archbishop Corrlgan Is by no means
out of danger," said Dr. Keyes, "and his
weakness continues. There are no favor
able indications; he snows absolutely no
Interest in worldly affairs and evinces no
liveliness whatever. If he did evince a
desire to know what was going on in the
world, It would Indicate that he was re
gaining his lost strength. There was hope
that he would even express a desire to
get up, as he Is, but he has not shown
the slightest inclination to get up, sleep
ing constantly.
"His condition is grave indeed, and
there is a possibility that he may get
worse, and this will hold good for sev
eral days. He is so weak that If he were
taken from his bed he could not stand."
The news that Archbishop Corrlgan wa3
worse came as a surprise tonight, for the
statement given out earlier In the day
was of a favorable nature. It Is now
known that his weakness Is such that he
Is unable to retain solid food. Absolute
quiet Is maintained in the sick chamber.

Statehood Bill the Principal Feat
ure of the House Programme.
WASHINGTON, May 4. The principal
feature of the programme in the House
this week will be the bill to place three
new stars In the American flag. The om
nibus bill for the admission of Oklahoma,
New Mexico and Arizona to statehood
will be called Tuesday. The friends of the
bill do not desire protracted debate on it,
and will try to secure a vote that day.
There Is much opposition to the bill on
the Republican side of the House, on the
ground that the territories are not yet
fitted for statehood, but the friends of
the bill entertain no doubt of its pas
sage. The Democrats In caucus agreed
to give it their united support, and at
least b0 Republican votes are counted on.
Tomorrow Is District of Columbia day.
After the statehood bill Is disposed ot
war claims will be given attention, and
then the naval appropriation bill will be
taken up. Three Important measures of
general legislation the Hill financial bill,
terminating the coinage of sliver dollars;
tho Ray anti-anarchy bill, and the Shat
tuc bill codifying and extending the Im
migration laws are to be taken up when
ever oportunlty occurs, the rules commit
tee having decided Saturday that the
measures should have early attention. No
time is set for them, but the decision of
the rules committee will bring them for
ward whenever appropriation bills and
special orders are lacking.

The doctors tell us they,
cannot cure every case of
asthma with Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. They say it is the
best thing for relief and that
it often completely cures.
We are willing to take their
word for it, are you?

Senator Lodge, chairman of the commit
tee on the Philippines, will open for them
with a speech In support of the Admln's
tratlon's Philippine policy, with Incidental
reference to Major Gardener's report and
other special phases of the Philippine
question. Other Republican Senators who
have indicated a purpose to address the
Senate on the pending question aro; For
aker, Spooner, Burton, McComas and Piatt
of Connecticut. There probably also -will
be other Republican speakers. The Demo
cratic members of tho committee on the
Philippines have no fixed plans, except to
have the debate on the bill extended for
the present. They decline to acknowledge
the necessity to conclude consideration of
the bill.
Other measures which will receive at
tention during the week are the sundry
civil appropriation bill and the, bill pro
viding for the opening to settlement of
the Rosebud Indian reservation In South
Dakota. The reservation question has
priority of claim to conslderatlca in tho
morning hour of each day, and the ap
propriation bill -?v 111 be used "to All In"
when no one is prepared to speak on
either that bill or the Philippine bill. The
resolutions providing for the recall of
Major Gardener lost their position of ad
vantage Saturday, and are now on the
calendar, but the chances are that they
will be revived and will receive further
attention.
