Genoa, Italy, April 9. — Though
“ deelighted” io an unusual degree,
but in mind and spirit much perturbed,
because o f ovations along his carriage
jaunt to this 'city, ex-President Theo
dore Roosevelt and w ife were compel
led to call a halt today to their senti
mental tour.
A t every village or crossroads they
were met by men, women and children,
the former with flags and the latter
with bouquets.
As an instance o f the demonstrations
accorded them, 600 persons, many o f
them Americans, acclaimed Colonel
Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt with
vivas and hurrahs after they left Ra
pallo, where they had luncheon today.
This was the climax o f their embarrass-
sments and Colonel Roosevelt gave or
ders to be driven direct to Genoa.
The people and press o f Genoa have
manifested the most intense interest in
the movements o f Colonel RoosevelL
His second honeymoon journey stirred
their romantic natures to a high pitch,
and when the news spread today of
his coming, a big crowd hurried to the
modest Hotel Brittannia, where he had
engaged quarters, and with cheering
and waving o f hats greeted Roosevelt’s
carriage as it rattled up the stony
street to the accompaniment o f the
driver’s wildly cracking whip.
Both Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt
were smiling when they descended
from the carriage at the hotel enrance.
They said they had enjoyed the trip
hugely and were sorry only that the
failure to observe their incognito by
the people had compelled them to cut
it shorL Colonel Roosevelt said he
had a “ bully tim e” Thursday, when he
and |Mrs. Roosevelt drove along the
sunny slopes o f the Ligurian Alps from
Spezia to Rapallo.
H alf an hour after the arrival o f
Colonel RoosevelL the prefect and the
mayor o f Genoa called on him and
greeted him in the name o f the city.
Colonel Roosevelt relates an amusing
incident o f the trip. When he and
Mrs. Roosevelt reached the top o f the
pass at Sestri Levante, where they
stopped last night, the enterprising
proprietor o f a tavern— a rival to the
one in which they had engaged rooms—
sent out couriers in advance bearing
American and Italian flags and tri
umphantly escorted Colonel Roosevelt
and Mrs. Roosevelt to his own hotel.

JUDGE WILLIAMS
PASSES TO REST
Grand Old Man of Oregon Has
Crossed Dark River.
End Cams as Hs Had Often Wished
In H a rn e tt and in Full Pos

GEORGE H. W IL L IA M S .
O f no distemper, o f no blast he died.
But fell like autumn fruit that mel
lowed long.
E ’en wondered at because it fell not
sooner.
Age seemed to wind him up for four
score years,
Yet slowly ran he on seven winters
more,
Till, like a clock, worn out with
beating time,
The wheels o f wearly life at last
stood still.
Portland, April 5.— With the same
serenity that had marked the later
years o f his long and useful life. Judge
George H. Williams early yesterday
morning passed to the Great Beyond.
Sunday night Oregon’s grand old
man had retired at the usual hour, af
ter a quiet day spent in goodjhealth
and spirits. A t the rising hour the
empty tenement o f clay was found re
clining as he had gone to sleep, the
face as placid as that o f a slumbering
child. There was no evidence o f a
struggle as the spirit left the body, no
indication that there had been the
slightest degree o f suffering.
Judge
W illiams had died in the manner he
had often wished— by “ simply slip
ping aw ay.”
For a week Judge W illiams had been
unusually cheery, and for five months
he had been freer from physical suffer
ing than for several years. For a long
time prior to last fall he had been in
convenienced by an internal disable
ment more or less chronic, yet it was
o f such a nature that his active inter
est and pa rticip ation ^ business affairs
was not impaired, and not even his
most intimate friends realized the pain
he had suffered.

O regon Jurist Last o f “ War Senate,”
and Close Friend o f Lincoln.
“ The right o f citizens o f the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States, or by
any state, on account o f race, color or
previous condition o f servitude.”
The foregoing is
the Fifteenth
Amendment to the constitution o f the
United States, adopted by congress in
1870 and later ratified by the states.
The text o f the amendment was pre
pared by the
Oregon statesman,
George H. Williams, and was present
ed and adopted with only a minor
change in wording.
Judge Williams was one o f the lasL
if not the last, member o f the “ war
senate,” and had been a warm person
al friend o f Lincoln and also o f GranL
Sent to the senate from Oregon in
1864, he soon became a power in the
administration forces.
He was the
originator o f the “ reconstruction a cL ”
which he later, as attorney general in
Grant’ s cabinet, enforced.
Peruvian Consul Quits Post.
Guayaquil, April 7.— The Peruvian
consul left here tonight fo r Callao.
The American consul has taken charge
o f Peruvian interests.
The govern
ment has established a censorship o f
all dispatches. In the face o f popular
excitement and rioting it was officially
announced today that Ecuador and Peru
would endeavor to settle their bound
ary dispute directly at Washington.
Ecuador's special envoy is Clemente
Ponce, and he will proceed to the
American capital. The military forces
o f Ecuador are under arms.
No Law to Punish Jap Spies.
Manila, April 7.— Much indignation
has been aroused by the release o f the
two Japanese who were arrested here
a few days ago on the charge o f being
spies. They were given their liberty
on cable instructions from Washington.
Owing to the fact that there is no pro
vision in the Philippine military code
governing the trial o f spies o f a nation
not at war with the United States, the
alleged spies were turned over to the
civil authorities. An investigation o f
the civil laws likewise showed that the
statutes were inadequate.
Sermons Don't Please.
Baltimore, April 7.— The Rev. W il
liam E. Hauff, pastor o f Jerusalem
Evangelical Lutheran church, o f Gard-
enville, an eastern suburb o f this
city, persisted in reading his sermons
until some o f his congregation told him
he was no longer needed. The preach
er declares that the church door was
locked by some o f his flock, who then
barricaded the door with boards nailed
from the inside.
He has put the mat
ter into the hands o f a lawyer.
Miss Caroline aud Miss Matilda
Bargle lived in an old-fashioned house
with a lean-to shed, the roof of which
ran nearly to the ground. Returning
from church one day, they noticed on
approauhing their dwelling that the
churchgoers ahead of them paused in
passing, and gazed upward with in
terest and mirth. A moment later they
saw why. Their neighbor's billy-goat
had escaped, mounted the lean-to to
the ridge-pole of the kitchen roof, and
with one end of a flaring circus poster
streaming banner-like from his Jaws,
stood outlined boldly against the sky,
a chamois on a mountain peak, calmly
contemplating the Sabbath procession.
Miss Matilda laughed. Miss Caro
line did not.
"The abominable beast!" she gasped,
deeply scandalized. T never saw any
thing so—so disrespectful!”
The goat is indeed a disrespectful
animal. He is no respecter either of
property or person, as many an indi
vidual held in honor by mankind has
ruefully discovered. Admiral Evans
has related with pride, as a worthy
achievement, his triumph in his earlier
days over a refractory goat on ship
board, which refused to yield the milk
required for a sick man.
After it had baffled everybody whose
proper task it was to secure the milk,
the captain sent for Evans, and direct
ed him to go and get it.
Evans respectfully intimated that he
had not supposed "m ilking goats to
be part of the duty of a navigating
officer;'’ but the captain thereupon ask
ed it as a favor, and he undertook the
task.
With a little warm water, much per
suasion, some firmness, and a recollec
tion of the ways of certain “ darkies"
with misbehaving cows, he succeeded,
and was unmercifully chaffed by his
comrades on his success. Indeed, he
was far from happy in it until be bad
taught bis method to a marine,and was
assured that he would not have to
keep on milking for the rest of the
voyage.
He was more fortunate than another
distinguished man, Horace Greeley,
who was a conspicuous failure as a
milker of goats, although he was bred
to the farm and Evans to the sea.
When, In accordance with Mrs. Gree
ley's theories of diet, goat's milk was
desired for their little son, they at
tempted to keep a goat in their New
York premises, and Mr. Greeley under
took to milk it. His ignominious tus
sles with the creature became a source
of delighted mirth to his neighbors.
One saw from his rear windows the
complete overthrow of the great editor
in his back yard, while the goat re
mained victoriously chewing the latest
edition of the Tribune, which had fall
en from Mr. Greeley’s pocket in the
contest. He relates that he called
down to him, gleefully:
“ Well, Mr. preeley, nanny, there,
hasn't much respect for editors!"
Sitting on his hat, and with one foot
In an overturned barrel, Mr. Greeley,
in his high, squeaky voice, called back:
‘No matter, no matter! The man is
nothing and the opinions everything.
You see she appreciates the Trlbuwe!"

General Luis Terrazas Is Mexico'*
wealthiest man. General Terrazas la
9 years old, the same age as Presi
dent Diaz. The lives of both men
have been full of stirring adventure.
It was in reward for daring military
service that General Terrazas obtained
from the government large gifts of
land which placed him upon the road
to the great fortune which he now pos
sesses.
It is conservatively estimated lust
General Terrazas is worth not less
than $200,000,000. His property hold
ings are chiefly in the state of Chi
huahua, but he also has large invest
ments In other parts of the republic.
General Terrazas is the greaitest
land and live stock baron in the world,
it is said. He owns fifteen ranch->s
In the state of Chihuahua.
Tho
ranches embrace an aggregate area o'
more than live million acres.
For
many years special attention has been
given to raising horses upon these
ranches. More than five million he-id
of horses are grazing upon the -er-
razas land.
The mule supply for most of Mex
ico comes from the Terrazas ranches.
These animals now number more than
one million head and are scattered
over the different properties. General
Terrazas' cattle holdings number more
than one million head. Several hun-
dren thousand head of goats and sheep
graze upon this land. It is said that
the choicest grass lands in northern
Mexico are embraced in the Terrazas
estate. Streams of running water pass
through them, and the grass grows lux
uriantly the greater part of the year.
Some Idea of the vastness of these
landed possessions may be bad when
it is known that more than ten thou
sand men are kept constantly looking
after the live stock. The services of
one thousand men are required >o
ride the fences.” It is the duty of
these fence riders to see that the
wires are kept Intact, so that the ..ve
stock cannot escape from the pastures.
Many thousand miles of wire w e.e
used in constructing
the boundary
fences. More than a score of towns,
some of them of considerable size, are
upon the ranches.— Kansas City ovar.
