SENSATION GAUSED BY Probable Early Movement of Japan- ese Troops. GENERAL FOREIGN AFFAIRS 8 Veneer ee ‘BERLIN, September 7.—Emperor Wil- liam made a sensational speech last evening at the state banquet which followed the military maneuvers about South Altenberg, at which entertainment the King of Wur- temberg was the pzincipal guest. His im- perial majesty had previously struck from the list Of guests the names of Count’ Von Mirbach and Count Von Kanitz, as well as those of Generals Klitsuig and Sanditten, ‘but the names of the two latter were sub- sequently restored upon the list. Emperor William's act plainly marke his displeasure at the attitude of the persons named upon the agrarian question. This is confirmed by the fact that the emperor decorated Count Von Doenhoff with the or- der of the Red Eagle. Count Von Doenhoff, it will be remember- ed, in May last was expelled from the con- servative union because he voted for the Russo-German commercial treaty in the reichstag. Soon afterward Emperor Wil liam showed his approval of the count’s ac- tions, and he has now made his position clearer by honoring Von Doenhoff with the order of the Red Eagle. The guests at iast night's banquet were members of the highest nobility and in- cluded among them all the great civil and military officers of the province. After the emperor had toasted the King of Wurtembe-g and the latter had respond- ed, his imperial majesty began a speech which caused the deepest impression. The exclusion of Count Von Mirbach and Count Von Kanitz from the list of guests had, in @ measure, prepared the way for the direct admaonitiom which the emperor, in emphatic tones, administered. But his .words created no less effect. After a few words of thanks for his re- ception Emperor William said: “When I was her: four years ago I em- the fact that in East Prussia, where the people are chiefly farmers, you must before all preserve and maintain a capable peasantry and such as would be a Pillar of support to my mor a “Hence my constant endeavor whenever the opportunity arises to foster the welfare and economic improvement of East Prus- The past four years of grievous cares have weighed upon the farmer and it ap- pears to me that under this influence doubt has arisen in regard to my promises and as to whether I should be able to keep them. “Nay, I found myself compelled to ob- serve, with a sore heart, that in the cir- cles of the nobility s1 near the throne my best intentions were misunder- | Stood, and, to a eertai extent, combatted. “Nay, more; word of opposition had been brought to my ears. Gentlemen, opposition of Prussian nobles to their king is a mon- strosity. They are justified in forming an opposition only when they know the king to be at their head. This is a lesson taught by the history of our house. “How often have my ancestors had to set themselves against misguided members cf tnat class for the welfare of the whole community? The successor of him who by his own right became sovereign duke in Prussia wili follow the same path as his great ancestor, and as once the first King of Prussia said, ‘Ex me mea nata corona,’ and as his great son established his au- thority as Rocher de Bronze, so do I repre- sent, like -ny imperial grandsire, the king- dom by the grace of God. “Gentlemen, what oppresses you is equal- ly felt by me, for I am the largest landed proprietor In our state. I know very well that we are passing through hard times, and my daily thought is to help you. But you must support me in this, not by the means employed by the professional opposi- tior: of the parties which you have so often rightly combatted—no, but by truthfully opening your hearts to your sovereign. My door is all times open to each one of my subjects and I lend him ready ear. Let this henceforth be your course and I shall re- gard as effaced all that has happened. “In order to make sure whether I have really fulfilled my promises I ordered the completion of the measures adopted for this province.” Emperor William then enumerated them and proceeded: “I shall continue my constant endeavors to provide for this land, and the very next budget will afford fresh proof of my pater- nal solicitude. “Gentlemen, let us regard the pressure weighing upon us, and the times through which we are passing, in the light of the Christian profession in which we have been educated, as a trial laid upon us by God. Let us preserve our minds in quietude and endtre with patience and firm resolution, hoping for better times, according to our old maxim—noblesse oblige. A stirring cere- mony passed before our eyes on Tuesday. Before us stood the statue of William I, the imperial sword uplifted in his right hand, the symbol of law and order. It reminds us all of the arduous struggle with designs against the very foundations of our con- stitutional and social life. ow, gentlemen, it is to you I this day address myself. Forward, to fight for re- ligion, for morality and for order against the parties of revolution. As ivy winds it- self around the oak, beautifies It with leaves ts it when tempests rage, so does hi n nobility close round my house. May it, and with it the whole of the nobil- ity of the German nation, become a bright example to those sections of the populace which are still wavering. Let us enter to- gether upon this struggle. Onward with God, and dishonor to him who forsakes his king. “tn the hope that Eastern Prussia wiil be the first province in line in this battle, I raise my glass and quaff it to the prosperity of Eastern Prussia and her inhabitants. “Tree cheers for the province.” DUTCH TROOPS SAFE. Another Attack Likely to Be Made in Lombok. BATAVIA, Java, Sept. 7.--Capt.

ROME, Sept. 7.—Inquiries made by the Associated Press correspondent at the Vati- can today in regard to the statement pub- Mshed that the pope is preparing an en- cyclical letter to be addressed to the bish- ops and people of the United States, an- nouncing the absolute supremacy of the zpostelic delegate in church matters in the United States, with the right of ap- peal to the pope, show that there is no truth in the story. It was stated at the Vatican that the pope will not again ad- dress the American bishops on Mgr.

British Workmen Want.Protection. NORWICH, England, September 7.—At the session today of the trades union con- gress it was resolved to demand that the government prevent the landing of desti- tute aliens. C. H. Wilson, .M. P., for West Hull, the well-known steamship owner, said that there were 56,000 foreign sailors on board British ships. fe The election of a parliamentary secretary to the trades union congress developed ail the fierceness of the o; ing principles of the congress. Tom Mann, the labor leader, represented the socialists; Samuel Woods, vice president of the Miners’ Federation, was the candidate of those favoring “local option” in the miners’ eight-hour bill, and Charles Fenwick, the present parliamentary secretary represented ‘no local option” in the miners’ eignt-hour bill. The result of the tirst balot was: Woods, 140; Fer.wick, 117; Mann, 105, Therefore, a second ballot was necessary in order to de- cide between Woods and eFnwick. On the tinal bailot the votes stood: Woods, 21!; ten- wick, 141. French Diplomatic Changes.

FAIR'S SUCCESS Movement to Improve the Rockville ee! GE ie cee GROUNDS MAY BE MADE LARGER Proposed Increase -in ithe Size of the Tick. er TODAY THE CLOSING’ DAY Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 7.—This, the third and last day of the-exposition, opened with a clear sky and somewhat cooler atmosphere, but the attendance falls far short of that of yesterday. By com- Parison the graunds present a somewhat de- serted. appearance, but the voice of the fakir has not lost its melody, the mammoth pumpkin is winning its, meed of praise, and baskets loaded with tender spring chicken and apple pies are doing business at the old stand. in the umbrageous shade of the wide-spreading oak. The success of this exhibition has nerved the county people for greater things in future. A movement is already on foot to reorganize the society and make the annual fair the equal of any in the state. It is the intention to purchase additional grounds, enlarge the track to a half mile and largely increase the purses for racing and the amounts now paid for premiums. - With the new departure-in view the mem- bership of the society hag been greatly in- creased within the past few days. It fs proposed to make a radical change in the management at the next election of officers, and it is believed there. will be no difficulty in placing men in charge who will push to completion the proposed improvements. The, rece track is now but @ third of a mile in length, and it has been found difficult to in- duce good horees to compete for the various purses, - ‘The grounds, though, of great natural beauty. are much too small, and the water supply is not sufficient in. case of large at- tendance. Yesterday thousands of gallons of water were carted from a distance and sold to the thirsty multitude at 5 cents a glass. The grand cavalcade of stock was much delayed on account of inadequate space in which to form ‘the great procession. ‘The attendance today includes a number of state politicians and public men of state, among are Goy. Brown, Congressman Rayner of Baltimore, Controller Smith, Sec- retary of State Brantley, Attorney General Poe, Mayor Latrobe of Baltimore and State ‘Treasurer Spencer C. Jones, who is the host of the others. Mr. Jones ts a tandidate for, the democratic nomination for the next governorship, but the presence of his dis- tinguished guests is said to be purely of aocia} character ard without political sig- nificance. The subject of the governorship, however, 1s the engrossing topic among those who talk politics, and the coming ©o1 nal elections weem to be of sec- ondary interest. ae ak ik Special Correspondence of The Evqaing Star.

The grand cavalcade of all stock and teams on the race course was decidedly the finest and largest ever seen here, and was an object lesson long to be remem- bered of the progress achieved by the farm- ers and stock raisers of the county during the past few years, The only accident of the exhibition oc- curred during the second trotting race this afternoon, when the sulky of Leland Stan- ford, owned by Mr. Jas. P. Gott, collided with another sulky, breaking a wheel and causing the horse to run away. The driver of Stanford was thrown to the ground and received a scalp wound. The horse made the circuit of the track three times with the broken sulky attached to him, but was finally captured and again put in the race by his plucky driver. ._ Notwithstanding the extreme heat and al- most blinding dust, today was, perhaps, the greatest day in the history of the Montgom- ery County Agricultural Society. No more good-natured crowd ever gathered together. ‘The trials of speed were never more ex- citing, und the county trotting race, which is always a leading feature, will be remem- bered as the most hotly contested on record. ‘The favorites in this cohtest fell to the rear and no Inconsidetable amount of money was won and lost upon the results, ‘The was good throughout, and it required six heats to decide the great-county race, which was not finished until after dark. Representative McKaig was on the grounds yesterday afternoon. To inquirers be gave the statement that he was not in any sense a candidate for renomination, but was heartily in favor of the nomination of Mr. Williams of Cumberland. He fought shy of newspaper men and gave as his reason that he had lately been grossly misrepresented by certain Baltimore papers and was disgusted with such treat- meni The republican nominee for Congress in this district, Mr. Geo. L. Wellington, was expected here today, but has not put in an appearance. The fair will come to a close this evening, the mammoth pumpkin will retire to its native heath to furnish pies for the family, the gigantic ox will go back to browse upon familiar hills, the “skin game" promoter will seek pastures mew, and the side-show fiend will fold his gaudy tent and silently steal away. Pek SARE POLICE COURT LOVE As It Was Brought Out in a Curious Case. + Every once in a while there is a romance hat comes .o light in the Police Court, but this morning & love story was developed that was quite different from the ordinary run, and that had some decidedly novel features about it. Cupid’s work was found out, too, in an unusual way. It all came about through an assault. case. A tall white man, by the name of Maurice Bresnahan, had three young colored men in court, charged with assaulting him on Shep- herd’s road. Bresnahan was about Torty- five years of age. He was not at‘all a-bad- looking man, and his face was set off with as fine a pair of flowing whiskers as ever Lord Dundreary sported. According to his story, his principal a: sailant- was a man by the name of Alex. Thornton, who, he said, had knocked him down, while the other two kicked him after -he fell, and then took $8.75 in money vut of his pocket. “Why, this is clearly a case of highway robbery,” remarked Judge Kimball, but Mr. Mullowney assured him that there were extenuating circumstances in the case. Then, by the line of questions that he pur- sued, it was easy to see that the prose- cuting attorney took little stock in thé story. Little by little all the facts in the case were brought out, but not at all as Bresnahan had described them. Mr. Mul- lowney read aloud a letter, and the com- plainant admitted that it was one he had written to a colored girl named Ada Thorn- ton when she was in jail recently, Ada was in-court as a witness for Thorn- ton, with whom she has been living for a number of years past, although they had never gone through the formality of a marriage service. She was about as ugly and unattractive a colored girl as often gets into court, but, just the same, the let- ter from Bresnahan showed that he was her ardent lover. It oesought her to come back to him when she left jail, and not to have anything more to do with Thornton. The letter was rull of endearing phrases, and assured her that while others might refer to her as a jail bird the wrifer would ever be true and kind to her. Piece of Spite Work. Through the reading of this strange epistle Ada snickered away at a great rate, and seemed tremendously pleased at the discomfiture of her admirer. Then she took the stand. She said that she loved Thorn- ton dearly, and had always been true to him, while Bresnahan's attentions were in the nature of a persecution. When she was in jail he threatened that if she did not come to him he would make trouble, and on the evening of this occurrence he had assaulted her in fine style for not leaving her Alex and coming to him. Thorn-on, she continued, came up just as Bresnahan finished his attack upon her, and forth- with proceeded to lay her white Romeo in the dust. The other two boys who were associated with Thornton in the dock were not present when this happened, and the whole charge of robbery against her lover, she insisted, was but a plece of spite work, done by her white adorer for revenge. The evidence in the case certainly made it look as though this was a reasonable explanation, and as Mr. Mullowney said that he would not even ask a conviction, although Thornton had admitted striking one blow, Judge Kimball dismissed the case. Alex and Ada left the court oom arm in arm, and Bresnahan was compelled to zo out alone AMUSEMENTS" ATTORNEYS ., AUCTION SALES. BOARDING ... BUSINESS CHANCES. CHTROPODIST CITY ITEM!

A special last night from Pine City, Minn., says: Tonight's corrected figures are of a chart acter calculated to lower rather than raise the total number of dead. There has been an increase over previous estimates at Hinckley, but the prospect of any con- siderable number remaining still in the ‘woods is decreasing. ‘There are 233 buried at Hinckley grave-~ yard and perhaps a dozen more buried at other points in the vicinity, increasing, the total here to about 250; but the additional mumber here may be safely taken away from the liberal estimate allowed for those yet unfound, leaving the total between 375 and 400, where the Pioneer Press put it yesterday morning. Three of the bodies found were identi- fied as the Cleson children. Their mother is in the hospital at Minneapolis badly burned. When she was here at Pine City she was confident that her husband and children were alive. The children have now been found and the father is undoubt- ediy burned. Mr. Webber's report of interments shows an increase over the estimate. Ail that have been brought in were buried and his list shows 235. Dr. Norton of Minneapolis, who went over to Mora yesterday, reported at Hinckley this afternoon that the total dead at that point was twenty-three, and that all the missing were accounted for. This is 2n increase of but two at that point. No changes were reported from else- where. ——_ e+ — Light House for Diamond Shoals. ‘The light house board has ordered draw- ings and specifications to be prepared for the new light house to be erected on the cuter Diamond shoals, off Cape Hatteras. it will be a very substantial skeleton iron structure, to rest upon fron piles, to be sunk by water jet.
