EMPRESS VICTORIA OF GERMAXY.
BERLIN, March 27. Whllo the German Empress was galloping
through the Grunwald, a forest near CharlottenburgT this afternoon, her
horse, startled by a doe that ran across the path, shied and threw her
off. The Empress broke the fall with her left arm and one of the
bones snapped Just above the wrist. The Emperor, Prince Adelbert,
General von Loewenfeld, General von Wedel and a numerous following
of adjutants and aldade-camp quickly gathered around her. The Em
peror was the first to fift her from the ground. Sho screamed with pain,
but after that showed much fortitude.
"Von Loewenfeld," said the Emperor, "ride to the hunting lodge and
telephone for Leuthold (tho Emperor's physician)."
General von Loewenfeld had some difficulty In locating Dr. Leuthold,
but reached him finally at the army headquarters. Emperor William, in
the meantime, had applied first aid to the' Injured limb and made a sling
of the Empress' velL As the party walked toward the lodge, a carriage
sent by General von Loewenfeld met them, but the Empress refused to
take it.
Dr. Leuthold, In an automobile belonging to a member of the Em
peror's staff, which happened to -be at tho army headquarters, went at
full speed to Grunewald. arriving an hour and a half after the accident
He was followed by General Hberg, the Emperor's surgeon, and Dr.
Zunger, the special physician of the Empress. The 'fractured arm was
dressed and bandaged at the hunting lodge and Her Majesty was then
driven In a carriage slowly back to Berlin, the Emperor riding beside
her on horseback.
It was reported that the Empress the other day broke a bone In her
left foot through being thrown from her horse at Berchtesgaden.
I
result that' the measure was defeated by
the narrow margin of 13. Had the Irish
men been present In their, full strength.
Instead of only 55 of them being in the
house, the government would have been
defeated.
This uncertain attitude of John Red
mond's supporters Is giving the govern
ment great anxiety and It Is believed that.
It the Irishmen show a carping spirit
toward the land bill, many Unionist sup
porters of the government will counsel
Its withdrawal on the ground of Its un
popularity. PROVISIOXS OF LAXD BILL.
Important Features Regarding Ar
rears of Rent and Evicted Tenants.
LONDON, March 27. The text of the
Irish land-purchase bill, which was in
troduced in the House of Commons by
the Irish Secretary, Mr. Wyndham, on
Wednesday last, was given out today. It
occupies 39 pages of a Parliamentary pa
per and bristles with technicalities. The
full wording reveals many important
features which were not mentioned In
Mr. Wyndham's speech when the bill was
Introduced.
All arrears of rent due at the time of
the purchase of land are recoverable by
the Land Commission, and not the arrears
for a year only, as previously cabled. The
Land Commissioners, however, are given
power In special cases to remit part or all
of the arrears.
The Commissioners are not permitted to
purchase estates which are not mainly
agricultural or pastoral. Thus Klllarney
is exempt under this clause.
In cases of untenanted estates pur
chased by the Commissioners,, they are
empowered to inspect the necessary works
of Improvement, which tremendously en
larges the scope of the Commission's ex
penditure. The Commission is empowered to de
clare subtenants to be the tenants of
any holding by them, .which will vastly
benefit hundreds.
Fishing, shooting and mineral rights,
which are among the most controversial,
will be vested In the Commissioners when
an estate Is purchased, and can be dis
posed of as the Commissioners decide. The
Commissioners are also empowered to de
termine boundary and other disputes be
tween the proprietors of holdings under
thb bill.
The Commission has the first claim to
purchase bankrupt estates and can re
sell them to tenants or use portions of
them for the repatriation of evictGd ten
ants. The latter point Is regarded as
being one of the most vital features of
the bllL

The following statement, made by a
well-known citizen of Portland, makes It
plain that a word to the wise should be
sufficient in this case at least:
H. R. McCarver. of 291 Cherry street. In
spector of freight for the Transcontinental
Company, a man who Is very well known
among the railroaders of Portland, says:
"Doan's .Kidney Pills are among the few
patent remedies which do all that is
claimed for them, and they have my thor
ough confidence. I first got them at the
Laue-Davls Drug; Co.'s store, at Yamhill
and Third streets, and used them for
backache and other very marked
symptoms of kidney trouble, which had
annoyed me for months. I think a cold
was responsible for the whole trouble. It
seemed to settle in my kidneys. Doan's
Kidney Pills rooted It out. It is several
months since I used them, and up to date
there has been no recurrence of the
trouble. I have recommended them to a
number of tho boys about the freight-
house, and I know if they gave them a
fair trial they certainly must have been
pleased with the Tesults."

LOSS OF THE STEAMER STRECKER IN
THE GREEN RIVER RAPIDS.
Many Passengers Xarrowly Escape
With. Their Lives Thrilling Ex
perience of a Rochester Girl
The Story of the Rcscae.
The captain of the steamer George
Strecker, which went down during a
blizzard. In the whirlpool of the Green
kRiver, had. navisated the rapids for over
twenty years previous to the fateful
trip. The accident occurred soon after
the passengers had br-eaJcfasted and
many of them were on deck watching
the troubled waters. Among them was
Miss G. E. Redfern. of No. 9S Ambrose
street, Rochester, N. Y., and her account
of the accident and of her thrilling res
cue gives the best story of the pascn
gerrf fierce struggle for llfev
"When the boat sunk," says Mlse
Redfern, "some of the men Jumped Into
the water and swam for shore. Others
were clinging to floating bales of goods,
and these were rescued by some men in
a long boat. I was caught on a projec
tion, of the steamer and went down with
her. One of the crew dived and brought
me to tho surface, when somebody
threw a life-preserver over my head. A
young man helped me on a bale of
wool which floated past, and so 1
reached the shore."
At the time of the accident Miss Red
fern was returning to Rochester from
Kentucky, but, owing to the shock of
the accident, she reached home In ana
alarming state of health.
"I was covered with ice," she ssJd,
"when they brought me ashore. I was
black and blue from my bruises and my
relatives said they did not think I would
live. And for a long time, until I took
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple, my nervous system'was a wreck.
Doctors had not helped me, and I was
very miserable. My health, ran down to
an alarming degree, I was weak, grew
thin and was extremely nervous and Ir
ritable. But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
changed all this. In a short time after
beginning with them I felt better, and,
after using a few boxes -more, I felt like
my old self again."
These pills have become famous all
over the world for their wonderful ef
ficacy in cases of nervous troubles,
small or great They have cured when
the trouble was more severe than Miss
Redfern's, and they cure lesser nervous
disorders without fall.
