10 THE SU2TDAY OKEGQNIA, PORTLAXD) JUNE 2, 1905. ENTERS IN STATE Bride of Crown Prince Wel comed to Berlin. GORGEOUS PUBLIC PARADE German Capital Treated to Imperial Pageant on Arrival of Grand Duchess Cecilia for Wedding to Crown Prince. BERLIN. Juno 3. Looking far more at tractive than in any of her pictures. Duchess Cecilia of Mecklcnburg-Schwerin drove publicly into the city today. Hun dreds of thousands of her future subjects saw her for the first time, and they re ceived her according to a carefully thought out programme. When they saw her smil ing happily and with a natural and not forced bearing, their good feeling ex pressed itself spontaneously In many a "hoch" and cheer. The belief is that she is not only the betrothed wife of the Crown Prince, but his sweetheart, as the Crown Burgomaster said In welcoming hur. The Crown Prince led his company of foot guards over the route of the pro cession an hour before the Duchess reached the city. The Duchess Cecilia of Meckienburg Schwerin, who, in her full title Is also Princess of the Wends, arrived from Schwerin at noon with her mother, the Grand Duchess Anastasia; her brothor. Frederick Francis, the reigning Grand Duke of Mecklcnburg-Schwerin, his wife and a numerous following. The Emperor, Empress and 'Crown Prince, the latter's five brothers, and the lutle Princess Vic toria mot the party at the railroad sta tion and breakfasted with them in the Chateau Bellevue, situated In the garden about two miles from the imperial pal ace. There the Duchess Cecilia rested with the Empress, while the others wont to the palace. Privileged Trades In Procession. The procession began to form between t and 5 o'clock in the afternoon in the wide space fronting on the Chateau, and then moved through the Thlergarten to the Brandenburg gate, the boundary of the old city. Forty mounted postmen, in accordance with old custom, rode In advance, followed by 100 mounted butchers in evening suits and opera hats. Most of them were men of ample figure. The master butchers hold a patent from 1W6 guaranteeing them this privilege. Twenty mounted trumpeters, preceded by a squadron of the . lrst Dragoons of the Guard, in light blue tunics and wear ing black helmots. and three six-horse court equipages, followed. These vehicles were driven by postillions and were oc cupied by the gentlemen In waiting of the Empress and the future Crown Princess. Thoy -were separated by half a squadron of the Guard Duty Corps from an eight horse state carriage containing the Duch ess Cecilia, sitting on the right of the Empress. The Duchess' "mistress of the robes," the Baroness von Tiele-Winckler, was seated opposite them. The young Ducncss wore an evening dress of pink silk muslin, cut decollete and trimmed, with lace. The skirt, which was embroidered with loose roses, had. a deep flounce of point . ngleterre lace. The Duchess shoulders were bare and on her neck a flash of Jewels could be seen. She -wore a tiara of diamonds in her hair. The richly-gilded carriage In which the Duchess sank composedly, although flushed with the emotions of the hour, was an odd-looking piece of workman ship new In the year 1793, when the future Queen Louise of Prussia, then a girl of 17, made her state entry Into the city through the same gate. Lords and Ladies In Gay Attire.- In advance of the equipage walked two tall grooms in blue and gold, and beside each of the eight black horses was a groom in scarlot and gold livery. The harness was of silver and fastened to the horses' . heads were plumes of black and white ostrich feathers. Altogether the lovers of royal luxury and display were satisfied. On the right of the Duch ess' carriage rode the Master of the Horse. Count von Wedel, and on the left the Governor of Berlin, Governor von Sahnke. Another half squadron of Garde du Corps. In white cloth tunics, golden hel mets topped with eagles, followed. in two other six-horse carriages Were the ladies In waiting of the Empress and the-Duchess. A squadron of Uhlans with a mounted band fell in at the rear and closed the pageant. The course of the procession lay for a mile through the Thlergarten. Where the roads closed there were 400 children, who sang "God Greet Thee." Their voices sounded sweetly in. the woods. Along each side of the way veterans were lined up while here and there stands wore erected under the shade of the trees. When inside the Brandenburg gate, the Duchess came in view of one of the broadest avenues In the world, Unter den Linden, set from end to end with four rows of Venetian masts. Swinging from mast -to mast were ropes of evergreens and roses, while the lime trees also were hung with garlands of roses. Thousands of flags fluttered on each side of the ave nue. Mecklenburg's red. yellow and blue predominating. The perspective from the arched gate to the palace at the other end was most beautiful. The Duchess, however, probably saw very little of the scene, for she was bow ing to the right and left, acknowledging the cheering of the crowds. Address From Burgomaster. The procession Btopped Inside the gate and 100 maids of honor in white costumes curtsied. Each maid was crowned with roses and carried wreaths. Fraueleln Klrshner, daughter of the Chief Burgo master of Berlin, presented a bouquet of roses to the Duchess, who received it with a smile and a bow. Then the Chief Burgomaster, in a purple robe trimmed with fur and wearing the heavy gold chain insignia of his office, stepped for ward and read a brief address of wel come. It was brief by the Emperor's re quest, so as to spare the Duchess the ordeal of a long wait under many eyes. She thanked the Burgomaster In a few simple words and the procession began to move again, the artillery at the other end of Unter den Linden tiring 20 guns. Fifty little girls threw roses tinder the horses' feet as the Duchess went on her way down tho alley of lime trees, which were hung with rosea, the masses of peo ple covering even roofs, waving flags and cheering. The members of the trades and crafts' guilds and. their apprentices were ranked on cither side, the fish dealers with nets and the chimneysweeps with brooms. The sidewalks, stands and win dows overlooking Unter den Linden had been occupied for hours and some hun dreds of luncheon parties were given in rooms fronting on Unter den Linden. M. Blhourd, the French Ambassador, in vited his colleagues and their families to tee the spectacle from the French Em bassy, near the Brandenburg Gate. The American Ambassador, Mr. Tower, and Mrs. Tower and the British Ambassador. Sir Frank Lascelles. were in the party. M. Bihourd had provided bridge whist tables for the amusement of his visitors during the long wait, and there was also &n excellent buffet luncheon. Larce parties of Americans occupied joints-of .&aj,ag6 pa either. cld ol JbJLci Brandenburg Gate, while the American embassy staff were at the embassy of fices on Unter den Linden. The pageant started at 5 o'clock and h&d disappeared at fi:5 P. M-. through one of the arched doorways of the palace. In the Inner courtyard the Emperor, the Crown Prince Prince Henry of Prussia and other members of the imperial family, at tended by'allthe visiting prince and for eign delegations, the ministers of state and a number of Generals and Admirals, re ceived the Duchess. She went with mem bers of the imperial family to the room of the electors, so-called, and. with the Crown Prince, signed the marriage con tract. Afterward the members of the two families dined together. Ambassador Tower, who was accredited by cabin as special Ambassador of the United States at the wedding, was . re ceived by the Emperor at 30 o'clock this morning., Mr. Tower presented the con gratulations of the President and the peo ple of the United States on the marriage of the Crown Prince. The special representatives of other countries were al?o received in audience by the Emperor during the forenoon. The Chinese Minister brought the Emporor the felicitations of the Chinese government emblazoned on parchment tied with yel low silk. Kaiser's Speech on Wife's Duties. "The principal speech was made by the Kaiser, who devoted some 40 minutes to calling the attention of the young couple to the necessity of living as an example for all others. Addressing himself to the bride-to-be. His Majesty said that here after she would be expected to hold up the hands of her husband In every way. He paid a special tribute to his Empress, whose loyal devotion to him. he declared, had smoothed many obstacles In his path way. At night a grand banquet was held, at which all guests heretofore Invited to wit ness the nuptials were present. The Emperor made another speech. In which he referred to the political aspects of the match, but the exact text of his remarks was withheld. The scene in the city has never been equaled, and the crush during the day was unequaled. It Is reported that during the day the special ambulance corps took up nearly 1000 persons who were injured. Pickpockets also reaped a fine harvest of' Jewels and money. So far there have been reported to the police more than 5000 tnefts. Volunteer first-aid assistants were stationed at intervals and took care promptly of policemen and others who were overcome by the heat of the sultry afternoon. KILL FRUIT PEST Remedies Discovered by a Cal ifornia Experimenter. ALL POWERS BACK ROOSEVELT Offer of Mediation Gives Satisfaction in Itussla. ST. PETERSBURG. June 3 (3 P. M.) The cabled reports of President Roose velt's conversation with Ambassador Ca sinl at Washington yesterday, implying that the President had practically ten dered his good offices to Russia, created quite a sensation in diplomatic circles here. While the idea that tho President has taken such a step aroused surprise in some quarters. It was received with unconcealed satisfaction, in the belief that it would hasten the decision of Em peror Nicholas, the European powers being, it is pointed out. no matter how ardently they desire the conclusion of peace, more or lets embarrassed. There is good reason to believe, how ever, that the reports did not correctly state'. the President's attitude. He had already made 'known to the Emperor In a personal message conveyed to him by Ambassador Meyer at his presentation audience his willingness and desire to pro mote the cause of peace, and his con versation with Count Casslnl yesterday Is believed to have been in the nature perhaps of a stronger reiteration of his receptive attitude, without In any sense being a formal tender of his good offices, which might subject him to a rebuff. Count Casslnl's report of the conversa tion has been cabled to Foreign Mlnibter Lamsdorff, by whom It will be laid before the Emperor. Practically, the menage has the moral support of all the great European powers. Headed by Russia's ally, France, which have conveyed in the most delicate manner an intimation of their convictions of the futility of a further continuance of the struggle. Emperor William is known to have conveyed such information through Grand Duke Michael, who arrived in Berlin yesterday, and For eign Secretary Lansdowne, In behalf of King Edward, is reported to have con veyed Great Britain's views through Am bassador Benkcndorfl. The cabled statement that Ambassa dor Meyer has received fresh Instructions embodying President Roosevelt's views along the line of the reported conversation with Count Casslnl for presentation to Foreign Minister Lamsdorff is incorrect. FAIR TREATMENT FOR BOERS More Liberal Policy to Be Adopted In South Africa. SPECIAL CABLE. LONDON, June 4. There can no longer be any doubt that the agitation for an extremely liberal South African polio 1 about to assume dimensions that bid fair to assure it of success. Meetings under the auspices of the South African Asso ciation, presided over by the Duke of Westminster, still furnish food for com ment, and it is pointed out that the "white races In South Africa, and partic ularly in our new colonies of the Trans vaal, arc clearly entitled to equal rights for all." Public opinion stands clearly on the side of the Boers. While the average English man does not expect the British people of South Africa to sacrifice the principles underlying British institutions and im perial experiences, in order to secure the co-operation of the Boers, it is empha sised by a number of speakers and edi torial writers that the government should not call upon the Boers to sacrifice their traditions, customs and language. How soon the question of liberalizing- the South African constitution will become the' sub ject of consideration can only be conjec tured, but it is fair to assume that the House of Commons will, sooner or later, become the scene of a heated debate, which. Judging from the present tenor of public opinion, cannot but result in liberal concessions to British South Africans. Loss or 550 Lives In Natal Storm. LONDON, June 3.

BERKELEY. Cal.. June 3. (Special.) Effective remedies have been found for the "brown apricot" and the "San Jose scale," the two most destructive insect pests that infest California or chards. After spending- months of stuJy and spraying over 1009 acres of trees in experimenting, H. J. Quayle, of the College of Agriculture, has announced that his efforts have been entirely suc cessful and that the two pests that have worked such serious -damage to California's fruit crop In the past are on the Toad to extermination. Tne brown apricot scale was an un known thing- orr the Coast until 1S91. although It had baffled all attempts at extermination In Eastern orcoarJs. Since that time it has spread, becoming more Important and doing- more dam age than the San Jose scale, which was at that time attacking- the orchards of tho state. The field of Its operations was at first limited to a small area. In the northern part of the state, but it made Its appearance in the San Joaqulnt Val ley three years ago and since then has wrought the same destruction that at tended its spread alf over the state. Although It is called the brown apricot scale the past thrives best on prunes and it' is upon this tree that it docs Its most serious injury. Mr. Quaylc has been conducting- tho fight against this post for the agricul tural experiment station, and has at the same time perfected the remedy for the San Jose scale, next In import ance to the brown apricot scale. His last year's work has been done In Kings County, in the immediate vicin ity of Hanford, whither the pests had spread in the past two years. The San Jose scale attacks a great variety of trees, but Its principal inroads have been upon tne pear and apple crops of that section. As the result of his year's work Mr. Quayle is about to announce that he has definitely determined the proper proportions for tne mixing- of the llme-sulphur-salt wash, the remedy com monly employed in fighting the San Jose scale, and has also decided tnat this remedy is wholly inadequate in combating tho brown apricot pest. As a remedy for the last-named insect he has recommended a compound of resin, caustic soda, fish oil and water, whose great inscctlcidal value he has proved. So satisfactory were the results ob tained by the use of the new remedy that the 1000 acres experimented on were freed from . tae brown apricot scale.. HOCH' RECEIVES SENTENCE Bluebeard Hears His Fate Still Pro testing Innocence. CHICAGO. June 1 Johann Hoch, con victed wife-murderer and confessed big amist, was sentenced by Judge Kensten to be hanged June 23. Only a few persons were in court when the sentence was pro nounced. The passing of sentence "came after a dramatic scene In court. Hoch forgave the prosecutors, the Jurors, the people and the many .witnesses who testified against him. and asked that God have mercy on their souls. He eald: T am convinced that my poor dead wife was murdered, but I am not her mur derer." The case was before Judge Kcrsten to day on a motion for a new trial. After the Judge overruled the motion, Hoch's at torney made a motion praying for a stay of wntence. but this was overruled. When the court asked if Hoch had anything to eay why sentence should not be pro nounced, Hoch replied: "Judge. I am willing to die tonight If I am guilty. I am innocent of the crime, but I will say now the crime was com mitted. God forgive you all. God have mercy on your souls. I have no feeling against you. If you think I am guilty of this murder. I am willing to have my life put out tonight," Hoch then eat down. He was self-possessed, but was nervous. Perspiration covered his face, and he was very pale. Judge Kersten said: "The court has no doubt that this man put that poor, con fiding woman to death, the woman Hoch had sworn to protect, the woman who gave you her all." Formal sentence was then passed and Hoch was taken back to JalL GIFTS FOR ONE MILLION Northwestern University Promised Large Sum for Improvements. CHICAGO. June 3.

THREE MEN ARE SUSPECTED Discharged Foreman in California and. Others Arc Supposed to llnvc Committed Deed in a Spirit of Itcvcngc. STOCKTON. Cal.. June X (Special.) Tho Angels quartz mine, located about halt a mile north of Angels, in Calaveras County, was blown up soon after 3 o'clock this morning by dynamite and 'wrecked so that it will possibly take a year to clear out the shafts and put the property In shape to be worked. While no arrests have been made, three men who are sus pected are being closely watched, and should they attempt to leave Angels, they will be taken into custody, though the officers prefer to wait until James Cole man, of San Francisco, owner of the mine, arrives there. He is expected at the mine tomorrow and will at once in stitute a most searching' investigation into the affair, which has caused great excitement. A miner whose name is withheld has informed the officer? that he was instructed by Night Underground Foreman Saroni to bore the holes for 30 blasts and fill them with giant powder. Assistant Foreman Mitchell is also said to know something about the affair, but neither he nor Saroni will speak further than to deny all knowledge of it. It is alleged they were aware that they were to be discharged in a few days, and that they wrecked the mino to eecuro revenge. To make certain that the mine would be greatly damaged, blasts were placed on all levels. At the 500-foot level 13 shots were put In. at the 400-foot level eight were set, and at the 309-foot level nine were inserted. All these were so con nected that they were tired simultaneous ly soon after the night shift bad reached the surface. '-The explosion shook the ground for some distance and an immediate investigation showed that the mine bad been deliber ately wrecked. The perpetrators of the deed had plenty of time to carry out their work, even had the blasts not been drilled previously, as the next shift does not begin work until 7 A. il. It has been rumored that the manage ment was dissatisfied with- the manner in which the mine was being' worked by the underground foreman and his assistant, and Al Trecbero has just been appointed to take the place of Saroni and another man named in place of Mitchell. While it Is next to impossible to deter mine the complete loss until an examina Uon of the shafts is made. It is estimated that the cost of clearing and rctimberins the mine will be fully JKO.W0. REID ARRIVES IN ENGLAND o Sooner Lands Than Glad Hand Is Extended. PLYMOUTH. England. June 1 The American steamer Philadelphia, having on board Whitelaw Held, the new Ambassa dor of the United States to the court of St. James, and Mrs. Held, arrived here today. Mr. and Mrs. Reid landed and took the train for London. Mr. Held, on his arrival here, was wel comed by the Mayor of Plymouth, ths president of the commercial bodies and the corporation of the people of Plymouth. who presented him with a handsomely en grossed address expressing the hope that his official labors would promote and strengthen the rood will which had so long existed between the United States and Great Britain. A delegation from the Southampton Chamber of Commerce, also presented an address to Mr. Held, referring- to his pre vious -altifca jo Enlindt ad III? ser Ice underLIncoln, whose memory Is high ly honored, here, .and rejoicing at the knowledge that the relations between the United States and Great Britain were es tablished on a firm and friendly basis, common language and common ancestry and trusting that the bqnds of union would tend to closer relationship and the promotion of the peace of the world. In the course of his reply to the address. Mr. Reid sakl their welcome was received with peculiar pleasure and gratitude. It was the first word from the citizens of a mighty and friendly nation to the repre sentative of another mighty and friendly nation, who came bringing only messages of warm regard and abiding good will, and said: I am Klad to be able to reciprocate by saying that from our vlcwjpolnt la the lapse of nearly four renerations of unbroken ceace between us there has not been a period of tea years, or Ave hardly even one during" which the relations between Great Britain and the United States -yere so cordial and so full of mutual interest as they are today; hardly one la which the lingering questions of pos sible frlctloa have been so comparatively trivial, or one in which such great personal Interests as concerned them both have moved so nearly on parallel lines. Shall it not be our common object to preserve and strengthen the foundations of this good understanding between our respective countries? It rests firstly with the natural good will between the two great English-speaking- people. It rests further on the Instinct of real kinship in our higher natures and aspirations, but. nit and best, it rests on the profound con viction, held alike on either side of the water, that such relations must be enduring through freedom In both. Christianity In both and passion in both for Justice. To a representative of the Associated Press Mr. Held said he had a pleasant voyage. Mr. Reid received the news, of the Russian disaster by wlrelesu tele graph, but had no expression- to make at this stage regarding peace or any other matters which may engage his attention. fact accounts for the high death rate that the organization shows now. The pur- j pose of this new rate is to make the bur-, den of the old members so heavy that it will force out the bad risks. We have on our hands the best actuaries in the Uni ted States, and it Is clear to me that the Supreme Council has taken this action on their advice." Municipal Ownership in Ohio. CLEVELAND, O.. June 3. Mayor Tom L. Johnson today said the main issue in the state and municipal elec tions In Ohio next November will be city ownership and operation of public service utilities. Held Arrives In London. LONDON. June X The Ambassador and his party arrived here tonight and were met at the railroad station by the staff of the American Embassy. The party drove direct to Dorchester House. De spite the Inconvenient hour of the Am bassador's, arrival In London, a large crowd at the railroad station gave him an unofficial reception. Mr. Reid will pre-' sent his credentials to King Edward on Monday. ROYAL ARCANUM SPLITS Xew Insurance Hates to Freeze Out Bad Risks. NEW YORK, June 3. Announcement of the new rate schedule adopted by the Supreme Council of the Royal Arcanum at Its recent meetings at Atlantic City has provoked much hostile feeling among the older members of the order. The rates show an increase on an average of 50 per cent- It is predicted that the en forcement of tba new rate schedule will be fought In the courts in every state in the Union. Members or officers of local councils who tyave seen the schedule unhesitating ly characterize the step taken by the Supreme Council as "an outrage against the old-line members." Predictions are being made freely today that the radical action taken will result In the disruption of the order, or more probably the seces sion of several state bodies and the for mation of individual organizations on fairer lines than those laid down by the Supreme Council. The new rate table makes It clear that the burden of meeting the obligations of the organization Is placed almost entirely upon the shoulders of the older members. Two objections were raised to the adop tion of this policy. Tho first Is that the controlling officers realize that for the continued prosperity of thj Royal Ar canum It is absolutely essential that the inducements to new members be main tained, even at the expense of the old members who have kept the organization alive until now. - "If anything Is done to shut off the streams of incoming members'." said a well-known Arcanumlte today, "the or ganization Is tost. The Supreme Council realized this and acted accordingly.' Another member of equal prominence said there- was" a deeper significance In the rates than the reasons put forth. "Since the Royal Arcanum grew to such proportions, he said,' "the regular com panies have had their eyes on it with a view to taking over its risks as soon as they should be la proper shape. There is no question that during the period or most rapid development the bars were- let down and many bad jrUks taken.
