Beaumont, Tex., Aug. 26.—Notwithstand-
ing the predictions of the mysterious in-
dividual known as “Umbntel, the ancient
astrologer,” Beaumont is still on the map
of Texas and the cyclone that was to
destroy >the Queen of the Neches failed to
materialize. To the contrary the day was
one of the most balmy and pleasant of the
summer, following the rains of Saturday,
which cleared the atmosphere and made
everything pleasant.

Dennis O’Shea Succumbs to Attack of
Acute Indigestion.
Dennis O’Shea, aged 50 years, and for
many years a resident of Galveston, died
suddenly yesterday afternoon from acute
indigestion. He was found unconscious
in the alley in the block bounded by
Winnie and avenue H, 27th and 28th
streets, about 5 o’clock and was conveyed
to the Sealy hospital, where death ensued
a half hour later.
He had long been a sufferer from stom-
ach trouble and an autopsy at the hos-
pital, ordered by Coroner Fontaine, de-
termined the immediate cause of death as
indigestion.
He had formerly been employed as
yardman at the Sacred Heart academy
but more recently had been working at
odd jobs about the city. He has relatives
living in New York but none in Texas,
so far as known. The body was taken
to Malloy’s undertaking establishment
and will be given a decent buriel by a
friend unless relatives claim the remains.

Song.—“Star of My Life.”
The center piece for the marble altar
at St. Mary’s cathedral arrived last
Saturday and is being installed. This
is all that is needed to complete the
magnificent altar which was dedicated
during the sixtieth anniversary of the
cathedral and the silver anniversary of
Bishop Gallagher on April 30 last.
It is made of Carara marble, 4 feet
by 40 inches. Da Vinci’s last supper
is the subject of the representation in
bold relief, with the 13 figures—Christ
and his 12 apostles—brought .out true
to life and impressively striking as a
work of art.
The center piece, which occupies a
panel just beneath the altar stone, was
done in Italy and upon completion
shipped direct to Galveston. The middle
altar of St. Mary’s cathedral is said to
be one of the finest In the south.
Market Street
Place of usiness.
Lawrence P. Stanton, who arrived in
Galveston in company with his wife from
New York Saturday, en route to Califor-
nia, reported the loss of a $100 bill at
some store on Market street.
Mr. Stanton told Chief of Police Per-
rett that he had jus>t arrived in Galveston
from New York and was en route to
Los Angeles, Cali., having accepted a po-
sition as a civil engineer in that city. He
stated he visuted four places of business
on Market street immediately following
his arrival, and that he took a roll of
bills from his pocket, in three of the places
to pay for purchases made.
Up to this afternoon no report of the
finding of the bill had been made.
Washington,
Pilis, director
Lloyd Steamship company of Bremen,
is in Washington and has been in con-
ference with Commissioner Sargent of
the bureau of immigration relative to
the establishment of a permanent
steamship line to Charleston and else-
where in the south. It is intended that
this line of ships shall run from Medi-
terranean ports. He went carefully
over the whole situation with CoriStaiis-
sioner Sargent, and when seen in re-
gard to his interview was extremely
optimistic over the outlook.
Baron Von Pilis left this morning for
Charleston, where he will confer with
leading citizens there and from which
point he will make trips elsewhere into
the state and into the south, visiting
Memphis, New Orleans, Houston and
Galveston for the purpose of informing
himself upon the needs for immigra-
tion.
In addition to being director of the
North German Lloyd company Baron
Von Pilis is also a director in a num-
ber of other steamship companies and
of the International Transportation
company. He it was who had the
Wlttekind sent to Charleston. He es-
tablished a line from Trieste to Gal-
veston four years ago. During the first
year 2000 immigrants came into Gal-
veston, the second year 7000, the third
year 9000, and last year 19,000 immi-
grants came into the port of Galves-
ton.
Herr Von Pills is convinced that the
south is the pface for his people, Ger-
mans and Hungarians, to come to- build
themselves homes. He is particularly
interested in a scheme to establish
bureaus of information throughout
Europe in order to assist /prospective
emigrants in finding future homes in
America before they embark. He is in
this with all the government!! and the
immigration officials in Germany, Aus-
tria, Belgium, Denmark and several
other countries in Europe, and he is
very much interested in diverting those
from other countries from the northern
and western states to the southern.
He has now the direction of six new
steamers to ply between European and
Americaii ports and is heartily in favor
of having them go directly to southern
ports. He says, however, that Charles-
ton will be the only point on the At-
lantic coast in which any of these
steamers will come. Charleston, he
says, must be a distributing point for
all of the south Atlantic states.
Baron Von Pilis goes to Charleston
upon the. invitation of Mr. P. H. Gads-
den, who recently saw him in New
York and extended an invitation to him
to go to that city. s

St. etersburg, Aug. 26.—The St. Peters-
burg police recently received information
that a plot was being formed against Gen.
Roedigher, the minister of war, An auto-
mobile was to pass the barracks of the
Preobrajensky Guard regiment just as the
minister of war would be driving out In
his carriage, and the revolutionaries were
to kill him. The police warned Gen.
Roediger, who changed his route. When
a motor car approachd the barracks the
police stopped it and arrested four men
who were Inside, armed With revolvers.

Special to The Tribune.
Washington, D. C., Aug. 26.—Should in-
vestigation confirm the press report, the
state department will make a vigorous
protest to Russia against the refusal of
agents of the czar to Grant Dr. Emil G.
Hirsch, the well known Jewish rabbi and
educator of Chicago, admission to the Slav
empire.
Dr. Rirsch’s mission to Russia, as un-
derstood at 'the state department, was
not for the purpose of inciting revolution-
ary disturbances, but on the contrary was
to ascertain the exact condition of his
co-religionists and devise remedies for its
alleviation. Before his departure he ob-
tained from the state department a pass-
port certifying that he was a citizen of
the United States and as such entitled 'to
the protection of this government. In or-
der to make assurances doubly sure he ob-
tained also, through Senator Cullom, a let-
ter from Secretary Root, which was ad-
dressed to all American diplomatic and
consular officers and bespoke for him
such courtesies as were consistent with
their official duties.
Officials of the state department are in-
dignant that a man of Dr. Hirsch’s emi-
nence and respectability . should be ex-
cluded by Russia merely on the ground of
hiis religion. Such cases have occurred
in the past and they have been subjects
of persistent and earnest representation.
Only three years ago the house of rep-
resentatives adopted resolutions to request
the president to renew negotiations with
countries where discrimination is made
between American citizens holding pass-
ports “in order 'that all American citizens
shall have equal freedom of travel and
sojourn in those countries without regard
to race, creed or religious faith.”
The ambassador to Russia at that time
was Robert S. McCormick of Chicago and
under instructions from John Hay, then
secretary of state, Jie took steps to bring
the resolution to the attention of Count
Lamsdorff, minister for foreign affairs,
the extremely delicate tasld in view of
the reseatment which had been arqused
through what Russia regarded as an im-
proper and unjustifiable method adopted | jng
Special to The Tribune. - t,
Washington, D. C., Aug. 26.—Two cabl-<
net resignation rumore have come tot
Washington, and officials of the darning
dstration are busy denying them. Thati
statement that Mr. Taft, secretary of war,j
would leave the president’s cabinet
diately upon his return from the Philipp
pines came from Columbus, Ohio. Th^
same sort of rumor as to Mr. BonaparteJ
attorney general, was published in a cir^
cumstantial way in a New York financial^
paper.
The facts are that neither of these cabw
inet officials has at present any Intention)
of resigning. Mr. Taft has some imj
portant official matters pending in his de««i
partment, which he said without reser->i
vation he would take up officially on his
return, and in fact some weeks after hiaj
return. It is an open secret that over4
tures were made fy certain big moneyed
Interests in New Yi.'k city looking to th}
r th eme nt of Mr. Taft from the prrste
dent's cabinet, t ie ttrderstanding be*
thit ne would receive substantial bac<<!t’«
from those interests. Mr. Taft declined ttf
listen to the overtures, and it is now said
the same interests have turned toward
Gov. Hughes of New York.
While there is no question now as t<}
the open presidential candidacy of Mr)
Taft, it is recognized that Mr. Roosevelt
does not consider this a handicap in anj
way to his retention in 'the cabinet.
As to Mr. Bonaparte, h'e Is in hearty
accord with his chief, and has taken non}
of his recent radical Steps without full
consultation. As was pointed out by a(
disinterested official last night, to “swap’*|
attorney generals at this stage of the pro}
ceedings would lay the administration!
open to the charge of a change of front;
in its corporation-control program, a sit-/
nation which the president frankly trie®
to avoid.
reliable information con-
huge meteor which swept
eastern heavens Saturday
night at 9.40 o’clock, startling those in-
habitants of the city who were inclined
to belief in the predictions of <the astrol-
oger, could be learned today. Some re-
ports are that the meteor fell in Orange
county within a radius of a few miles
from Beaumont, while a number of others
state that ithey saw the meteor fall into
the Nechez Hver with a loud report, a few
blocks below the Sisters’ hospital.
Notwithstanding that sensible people
gave no credence to the prognostications
of the astrologer there was more or less
uneasiness on account of his prediction,
and the community has been in a state of
somewhat nervous tension and false ex.
citement for several days, due to the spell
which “Umbriel” had cast over the city;
the proximity of a large comet to the
earth’s orbit, the report of an airship
passing over the cdty Thursday night, and
last of all the great meteor, and it is
with a feeling of relief that the people of
the city will now forget these disturb-
ing causes due to celestial phenomena
and return to things terrestial.
The people of Spindle Top who built
storm cellars were more frightened than
any one else, unless it w.as the negroes,
a number of whom are said to have fled
the city because of the forebodings and
' prophecy of doom and destruction.
More trouble and inconvenience was ex-
perienced last night because of the in-
ability of the Galveston Electric company
to operate its car and light and power
circuits continuously. Its supply pipes
and tanks continued to be clogged with
the poor grade of oil that caused the
trouble Saturday night, despite efforts to
get them cleaned out and in satisfactory
operation. An ample supply, of good oil
will be in hand for use today, it is ex-
pected and it is hoped that no more de-
lays of moment will occur from the bad
oil.
The management of the Galveston Elec-
tric Co. state that it has an oil tank at its
works that carries about a 12-hour supply
for the plant, but as this tank had to be
used from while the big tank on the
wharf was being filled It, too, was
promptly refilled from this new supply
before it was known to be bad and in
consequence every source of its supply
was clogged with the same stuff and
ceased at the same time to give forth
any fuel that would burn.
They emphatically deny that they are
in the position With reference to the
appliances for handling their .fuel oil
supply that an oil man ctated to be the
case in Saturday’s Tribune, and cite
that this temporary shutdown is the
only occasion of its kind forced upon
its patrons by this company since their
new plant was installed after th'?
storm.
