C = VIENNA, Dec. 2.— lt is evident that the
staudrercht was not proclaimed -a moment
100 soon at Prague*. dressed men, it
The San Francisco Call
is said, rode on bicycles through the city
and the suburbs making lists or German
places marked for attack, and as the work I
of the rioters was being done in accord
ance with these lists, and in many places j
simultaneously, prevention was almost '
impossible.
Goldsmiths' and jewelers' showcases
were emptied in many cases. The women
Carrie 1 baskets to lake home the contents
of the grocery and prov.sion stores, while
furniture and other articles too heavy to |
carry were wantonly destroyed. If the j
troops had not used their swords and bay
onets Jreely Prague might have been
burned from end to end.
In several case? Jewish shopkeepers es
caped by the device of placing an illu
minated crucifix in the shop windows.
The pillaging was so systematic that in
one street alone to-day fifteen jewelry
shops were ransacked. An ambulance
corps was attacked savagely because tbe
doctors were recognized as Germans.
'. The parliamentary deadlock continue-!.
Baron Gautsch, the new Premier, has
made no progress toward a compromi-e
satisfactory to the rival factions, and it
begins to be feared that the present
Eeichsrath will not renssembe. Certain
it is that if the R-ichsralh meets with Dr.
yon Abrahamovics in the chair, the same i
disorderly scenes will occur as belore.
Riots, more or less serious, are reported j
from Innesbruck, Brunn, ly.nz and fcanz.
In some cases it is alleged -that the dis
turbances have been encouraged by the '
municipal authorities. Generally the
Bohemian Jews have suffered most.
.' A report is current to-night, though as
yet unconfirmed, that a* mob at Prague j
attacked the to diers and a sanguinary
encounter ensued. According to this
rumor the troops fired four volleys, killing \
twenty-five rioters and wounding many.
BERLIN, Dec. 2. The advices received
here from Vienna exercised. an unfavor- !
able- influence on the Bourse to-day,
owing to the rioting at Prague and the j
declaring of martial law in the most dis
turbed districts. This feeling of depres
sion, however, was temporarily relieved,
though prices closed decidedly weak.

PROTEST THE
APPOINTMENT
OF McKENNA
The Bench and Bar of Port
land Take Action With
out Precedent.
Appeal of Possible Rivals to the President
Not to Send in the Name of the Cali
fornia Jurist and to the Congress
Not to Confirm Him*
PORTLAND Dec. 2.— A petition signed
by Jud c Gilbert of the .United States
Court of Appeals, Judge Bellinger of the
United States District Court, the State
Judges here and many of the leading law
yers, asking President McKinley not to
appoint Judge McKenna to the Supreme
Bench, was forwarded to Washington to
night. Following is the text of the peti
tion :
We, the undersigned, members of the bench
anil bar of the State of Oregon and the district
01 Oregon, respectfully represent to the Presi
dent of me United States and to tne Senate in
» (-ingress assembled that the Hon. Joseph Mc-
Kenna, Attorney-General of the United States,
ought not to be appointed or confirmed as
Justice of the Supreme Co rtbf .the Doited
States. Such office is o.' life tenure, the high
est known to the profession of law and to the
system of jurisprudence of this country, and
necessarily ouztit to be held only by one who
in learning, intellectual ability and deter
mined charactei has shown himself to be
among the few most eminent of the legal pro
fession, and capable ol executing the great
trust placed upon him and of maintaining the
charac.er for ability and Independence whicn
has made the Supreme Court of the United
Stages one of the first, if not the very first, of
the tribunals of the world.
We submit mat rather than diuie the high
quality of this court it would be better that
some one be selected not from the Pacific
Coast, but we believe that there is abundance
of material on this coast from which to make
_ ge ieciion. We particularly submit that the
common reputation of any man among his
professional brethren Is a Just and a sure
guide to his worth. It is always known who
are the leaders of the bar, either in the coun
try at large or in a Ucality. and it is as cer
tain as any human reputation is certain that
an acknowledged leader of a learned profes
sion deserves the leadership accorded to him.
The Hon. Joseph McKenna's common repu
tation among his legal brethren or anions; bis
judicial brethren has not accorded him a
high place, but, on the contrary, though many
who estimated him until now refrained from
an expression of opinion, the consensus of
opinion has been, and is, that he is not either
by natural gifts, acquired learning, or de
cision of character, qualified for any Judicial
place of importance, much less for the highest
place in the land.
His life record as a barrister, politician.
Judge and Attorney-General is accessible and'
sh-.uld speak for itself; but, believing the es
timate of him by the members ot his profes
sion to be a test and believing that we of that
profession owe it to our-elves and our coun
try lo no longer keep silence, we, acting with
out malice, without pcrsi-nal feeling and with
out preference for any particular individual,
earnestly protest against the appointment or
confirmation of the Hon. Joseph McKenna as
a Justice of the Supreme Court of the Uaited
States.
SEATTLE, Dec. 2— Judge Hanford
said to-night that he did not sign any pe
tition against McKenna. When asked
whether he knew of such a petition he
replied that Le positively declined to le
interviewed or quoted on the subject. He
would say noihi ng farther.
OFFERED iO GRIGGS.
New Jersey's Governor Asked to
Succeed McKinna as Attor-
ney-G 3n«»r**T. '
NEW YORK. Dec." 2.— A spscial to the
Tribune from Trenton, N. ' J., says: A
private dispatch • from Washington, re
ceived by a well-known New Jersey poli
tician to-day, conveys the intelligence that
President McKinley has offered Governor
John W. Griggs the appointment of At"
torney-General when the office shall have
become vacant by the elevation of Judge
McKenna to the Supreme Bench. The
sender of the message is a man whose rela
tions with Vice-President Hobart and the
New Jersey delegation in Washington are
such as to make his statement worthy of
credence. Governor Grig.s, the report
says, will present his resignation to the
State Senate, which meets early next
month.
LOCAL LAWYERS RETICENT.
But a S rnll„r Petition Has Been In
Circulation In This
City.
It* was ascertained last night in conver
sation with a leading attorney, who de
sires that his name shall not be made pub
lic, that there is much opposition to Judge
McKenna for Justice of the United States
Supreme Court. It was said hat if Judge
koss was not in sympathy with the move
ment to defeat McKenna he was fully ap
prised of measures being taken by attor
neys to prevent the confirmation.
It teems that it is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion that McKenna will be
named for the Field vacancy and that the
iff jriß, therefore, of the lawyers opposed
to the selection should be made to pre
vent the confirmation in the Senate. It is
said that the protest will contain the
signatures of some very prominent attor
neys in San Francisco.
PI ON c ERS in BOSTON.
Many Making Arrangements to Join
in the Celebration of the Golden
Anniversary.
BOSTON, Dec. 2.— At the usual monthly
meeting and dinner of the California
pioneers of '-19. twenty-six members were
present at the Revere House. Among the
number were the president, Samuel Snow,
who presided, and the secretary, George
D. Spurr. No business of importance
came up except that of planning for the
possible journey of some of the pioneers
to California, next month, when they will
revisit the scenes of their early struggles
for wealth. The celebration in San Fran
cisco of the golden anniversary of the
first discovery of gold there is to be recog
nized with fitting ceremony, and the
members of -tne association in this State
have been invited to co-operate with the
parent society in the events to take place
in January. Another meeting will be
held here early next month to make
final arrangements for such as are to take
the trip to the Pacific Coast.

HASTENS TO HIS
DYING MOTHER
MOTHER McKINLEY.
CANTON, Dec. 2.— Phillips, . H
12 o'clock to-night, said: "Mrs. j
McKinley is barely conscious and "j
is sinking very fast. She may not 3
last longer than morning." a
CANTON, Ohio. Dec. 2.— At an early I
hour this morning Mrs. Nancy Allison I
McKinley, the venerable mother of the
President, was stricken with Daralysis
and ber death is believed to be only a
quest: on of a ebort time. .Not since Mrs.
McKinley was stricken has tncre been a
favorable feature in her case. That the
attack would ultimately end in death was
the first fear of the family on discovering
her illness, and the • consultations of the
attending physicians have tended to con
firm this belief. Every effort is being
made to render what will doubtless prove
to be her last illness as free from suffering ,
as possible. ..-.
The paralysis, when it first appeared,
was not of a serious. form, and seemed to
have only affected her vocal chords. She
was able to walk from her own bedcham
ber to that of. her daughter, Miss Helen
McKinley, to give the first intimation of
the attack, and at that time seemed to be
in possession of all mental and physical
faculties, but soon after a change was no
ticed, and in the afternoon she sank into
a condition of senii-con-'ciousness, "in
which she has since remained. '
"Mother" McKinley must have been
stricken some time during last nighty but
the first intimation the had of any change
in her condition was when she awoke this
morning arid found herself unable' to
speak. She walked to the: room of her.
daughter and aroused the Tatter. -. Atbhce
Miss McKinley saw that something. had
happened. She awakened the. other mem- 1
bers of the family and a physician was
called. Heat once pronounced the trou
ble paralysis. .•'• -'
"Mother" McKinley has been slightly
ill for several days with a mild attack.' of
the grip. She had been up and about the
house and no. serious results from her ill
ness were apprehended. . Her son, Abner
McKinley of New York; arrived in Canton:
Tuesday and ais mother seemed to ; be
greatly cheered by nis presence. Yester
day she was so bright and cheerful as to
cause the family to remark on her ■: im
provement, Mr. McKinley: saying he had
not seen his mother looking so well and
rugged for a number of years.; : That being
her condition when she retired' last even- ■
ing, tbe blow to the family upon discover-
what had come upon her during the
night was a sad one. Daring the lore
noon a letter from The President was
read. It was read .to. the aged sufferer,
and in response to questions if she Under
stood its contents, sue nodded her assent.
Abner McKinley communicated with
the President as soon as he learned the
serious nature of the illness of his mother, .
and the President asked that he be ad
vised immediately of every change. Soon
afternoon Abner MJKinley notified, the
President that the sufferer had lapsed into
semi-consciousness and promised to Com
municate further at. 5 o'clock in the after
noon. The President did not wait for tho
5 o'clock message. He responded:
. "Tell mother I wiU be there," and at
once prepared to start for Canton. He is!
expected to arrive here at 10 o'clock to
morrow morning..
Dr. Phillips, when he saw the patient at
6 o'clock t is evening, had little to add to
what he had already said, to the effect that
she was very ill and stocd but little
chance of recovery. "• It was the opinion: of
the doctor that she could, not last more
than a few days, and that the end might
come at any time. . vi.
The doctor said after he last saw Mrs. .
McKinley that there was some slight evi
dence that the facial expressions of the
patient were Jess rigid than they were
early in the day, this being noticeable as
sue endeavored tocompiy. with his request
to show her tongue, although she was un
able to do so. . .
The patient has taken liquid nourish
ment at intervals and will not suffer from
want of fool. Abner McKinley fad
late to-night that. he. thought his mother
was sinking rapidly and he feared the end
was not far eff. •• .
