[Copyrighted.) Musicn, via HAvee, July 19.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to the Br Emperox William arrived at the Munich rail- way station at half-past eleven this morning. Prince Luitpold, m full gana uniform. with the grand cordon of the order of St. Hubert, and necompanied by the princes and prin- cesses of the Bavarian royal tamily and all the court attendants in their glittering blue and silver livery, wera on the platform. The Instant the imperial train came to a_stand- still, the prince regent jumped upon the toot board of the emperor’s carriage, opened the door and helped the kuser to step down on the platform. The emperor wore tho full uniform of a Bavarian general, heavy motal helmet, huge silver epaulettes and about Aty decorations 1K LOOKED SPLENDIDLY. In hs hight blue tunic that fitted him like a glove, and stood as firm and erect as a Pome- nerian grenadier. The weather is very hot with a blazing sun, and it testifies to the wonderful powers of endurance of the em- peror, who has been travelling hours in a stifling carringe with his stiff rigid tunic tigh'ly buttonea to the chin. while several of the officers of his suite looked quite fatigued, Prince Luitpold embraced the kaiser with the greatest tenderness. 1S MAJESTY three times on the chee The kalser shook the prince cordially by the hands, and asked in the kindest terms about the health of King Otto and the queen mother. The inte- rior of the railway station was beautifully decorated with hundreds of palm trees, orange trees and exotic flowers, The dining room was hung with festoons of roses, lilies and cornflowers. Over the mantlepicce was a bronze bust of the late king. On the table in front of the emperor’s plate were large wreaths of cornflowers arranged in the shape of the letter W, the gift of the queen mother, ‘Wwho is still confined to her bed from the ef- feet of the late tragic event. At noon the emperor and his suite as guest of the royal family of Bavaria, sat down to A SUMPTOUS LUN Prominent among the delicacies of the menu were the emperor’s favorite cohcen- trated soup, made by boiling down beef, chickens and pigeons, and aso splendid lobsters brought alive from IHeligoland, an- other “favorite dish of the emperor. Thou- sands of people gathered outside the station shouting, “Hoech, Hoeh,” (hurrah) — with the greatest enthusi- asm and striving in vain to cawh a glimpso of their kaiser, At 1 o'clock the prince regent and tho royal family of Ba- aria conducted the emperor to his railway carrinze, More embracing and kissing fol- lowed and then there was a short whistle from the Jocomotive and the imperial train was DORNE SWIFTLY AWAY toward Ga No event since the corona- tion of the German emperor at Versailles has done more to weld together the military and social union of North and South Germany than Kaiser Wilhelm's present journey through Baden, Wurtemburg and Bavarla, The splendid ovation at Augsberg, the imperial reception here to-day, the kind words spoken by the venerable monarch to hundreds of Burgomelsters and prominent citizens, have gone STRAIGIT TO THE HEARTS of the Bavarian people. The kaiser has to-day won for himself throughout Bavaria all that personal atfection, zeal and adora- tion that these impressionable and patriotic Bavarians formerly eherished for the late King Louis. Hitherto there has always been n sort of social antipathy between the Bav: ians and the Prussians, something lke that supposed to exist between the New Eung- landers and the South Carolinians, but now I hear in the streets, elubs and cafes and beer houses, people of all classes speaking in ternis of cndearment of “Unser Kaiser.” Blhiortly before tne kaiser came here MILITARY KEFORMS were suddenly Iutroduced into the Bavarian avmy, asslwilating it more than ever to that of Prussia. A few days ago the distinetive Bavarian short tunie, worn by oftieers, was done away with and replaced by long-skirted, double-breasted Prussian coats. Moreover, several military bands of distinguished Prussian regiments, notably that of the fa- meus Zlethien hussars, whose heavy sabres days gone by bave caused many a Bava- 10 bite the dust, are giving concerts in cellars of this enthusiastic and tairsty cani- tal. The kaiser's visit had a most extraordi nary effect upon THE INSANE KING 0770, On Sunday he overheard one of his vants talking about the Munich, ‘The king said: comir = I'he servant your majesty ser- r coming to What kaiser is 1 ‘The German kaiser, repli The kinz sald: “Say that again: it sounds €ood ;™ and, after a pause, he added: “Oh, you mean Barbarossa. 1 had torgotten him, However, T am greater than Barbarossa. 1 am the great German eagie and MY TWO HEADS Are now aching, and aching, and aching.” The king then uttered p cries and chirped like a bird, He spread out his arms vings and tried to fly. For over an hour the king hopped about in the garden on one leg at a time, flapping his arms like a bird AND TRYING TO FLY. Saturday night, he built in his bedroom a large nest of straw, twics and dry leaves, embling a huge eagle’s nest, and satin itall night. On Sunday morning the king was completely prostrated with a severe nervous attack, and the greatest fears of a fatal ending were felt by all about him. In the evening he regained his strengtn, and with the cunning deviee, common with luna- ties, managed to elude the vigilanee of his attendants and escaped from the palace. He got into the deer vark of the adjoining pal- ace of Nymphenbourg and RUNNING AT FULL SPEED, nearly reached Munieh before he was eap- tured. At a late hour of the night he was conveyed inan exbausted condition back to his palace. These acute attacks became moreand more frequent after the death of King Louis. King Otto has been under the delusion TITAT IE 18 A BIRD, Owing to the critical state of the king's health and the court mourning, King Wil- Tiam renounced his original intention of re- viewing the Bavarian army and desired that his reception in Munich should be as simple and unostentacious as possible, but the im- perial visit and the spontaneous ovations tendered the kaiser throughout South Ger- many by ALL CTLASSES OF THE PEOPLE Nobl protestants, atives, all vieing with eacti other in royal enthusiasm for the head of the house of Holenzollern— test political event of the year in dis felt here to be all the more significant in face of the recent military ef- fervescence in France.

She was called to show discrepancies in the wife's two stories. The sensation of the day was the evidence of a penmanship expert tending TO STRENGTUEN THE CONSPIRACY and collusion theory. His evidence tended to show, though he wouldnot positively give that opinion, that the anonymous letter sent to the husband and inculpating the wife and Dilke was actually written by herself. The French lady and pensioner of Dilke’s family, in whose house Mrs, Crawford said SHE MET THE BARONET, was also examined. She denied strongly that the wife ever was in her house. She was severely cross-examined and her answers and liesitations certainly went toward indicating that the witness kepta jueer lodging house and had the mysterious catled of his private secret; anny”as o curlosity, employed or ‘paid servant.

Ingalls and Miller Inc erable Personal Allusions, Lead to Heated Speec Both Sides. 1ge in Consid- Which s on In the Senate. WasHINGTON, July 19.—Mr. Conger called up the house bill giving the consent of con gress to the construction of a bridge by the municipalities of Memoninee, Mich., and Mariette, Wis,, over the Memoninee river, Passed without amendment. The senate then resumed debate on the oleomargarine bill, and Mr. Gray addressed the senate in opposition to the bill, Mr. Harris also opposed the bill, on the ground that the only power congress had to pass the bill was its power to levy taxes for revenue. But it was not pretended that there was at this time the shghtest necessity for an increase of revenue, The bill was, therefore, on its face, a false pretense. 1l had offe an amendment making it unlawful to make oleomargarine within the District of Colum- bia or the territories unless it was distinetly marked a8 sueh. He was distinetly in favor of the bill to that extent, but no further, and he would be glad if every state would so leg- islate. Mr. Harris’ amendment was rejected —yeas, 15t nays, ¢ After some further debate, Mr. amendnent was laid on the table— nays, 16, Butles Mr. Edmunds said that e wished to cor- rect the fmpression which some senator scemed 10 have that this bill proposed to tax one interest for the benefit of another inter est. He did not so understand the bill. If lie did, he should be against it. 1le supposed that out of every 100 people who ate oleomargarine compounds, ninety- mine belicved that they were eating butter, in the sense fin whieh their egrand- fathers and granduothers and themselyes (when children) understood that term. In the levying of taxes congress was required by the constitution to look to the general welfare. 11e supposed it was to the general welfare to suppress frauds and eheats, and to guard the interests of the best portions of the community. Congress had the right, therefore, to d inate against frands and to tax them heavily, while it did not under- take to tax honest vocations, Mr. Vest opposed the bill. “If T vote for this DilL,” e said, “I vote to subvert the principles of free government. I vote to use the machinery of the government out of the sphere where the constitution has placed it, in order to forward and advance the inter- ests of one set of cilizens at the expense of another <t If frauds are committed by this oleomargarine industry the states are the only instrumentalities that can take charge of those frauds and punish or prevent them.” Mr. Van Wyck advocated the passage of the Dill. The question here, he said, was whether one hoest industry should be pro- teeted against fraud of another. This vill, he admittzd, was not for revenue purposes, nor was it to build up one industry at the ex- pense of another. Congress simply said that tue best way to provide a t fraud wus to ate the manufacture of the article. 1t it was cheaps people did not get the benciit of its cheapness because of this fraudulent branding, = Congress undertook in this bill to 1 with that question, aud he saw no constitutioual nl)['n'rliun toit, - Mr., Butler said that this bill was most fla- grant and unblushin, 1ts violations of the canstitution of any ¢ ntroduced in con- gress. Heasked if the artilicial coloring of butter was not fraudulent, My Ingalls, in elueid produced a vial of col t question, and com- ni Tnatt mented on the ecircular accompanying it. The preparation, he said, pretended to be manutactured atBurlington, Vi, [A laugh at the expense of Edmunds.] This vial, he said, was warrauted by the firm—which 'put up perfected butter coloring at Burlington, Vt., for dairy purposes—was warranted to color 800 ponnds of winter butter, It had been pretended that the men of Vermont and elsewl were engaged, In their bucolic honesty and simplicity, in a struzgle with the her- cu garine. One sentence in the cf mended the m»lnllluf matter as giving butter a tint like the ighest grade of Jer butter, and no expert can detect it, It was warranted to add 5 cents per pound to the value of white bu.ter [laughter], and return a dollar for every eent it co; Mr. Miller knéw nothing about this color- ing matter. When the distinguished senator (Ingalls) was going over its wonderful quali- ties hie was carried baek to his boyhood d when, on training days, he used to see a man standing on a wagon” auctioning his bogus 2oods or bogus jewelry, or offered to the 1¢o- ple some “efixir of life,” Whether the sena- tgrever ld any experienco. of that kind ) (Miller) did not know, but the senator had own great aptness for it.

The senator sas usually came to the capital with a aming red necktie, Why not w me of the natural color of the cocoon? Beeause the senator admired so her color, and that was s true of butte thing clse, Mr. Ingalls said the senator from New York had seen fit to descend into th 1 of personalities, His humor was very much like the attempt of a hippopotamus to dance ona slack rope. (Laughter.| The senator had seen fit to refer to his youthiul avoca- tion and to present a spectacle of a peddler dealing in bozus jewelry and elixir, To that he had this remark to niake: That whatever he might have done, he had never stood be- fore the senate advocating a measure in which he had the strongest personal interest. ‘The senator from New York had done that. The senator was in the dairy business, He owned a dairy farm and had'a herd of dairy cattle, puttini its product on the market as the product of the Oak Hill or Oak Leaf Creamery company, and he used the whole power of his oflicial station as a senator and as chairman of a committee to get the meas- ure —away from the committe to which it belonged and have it referred to his own committee. He stood on the floor of the senate day after day advocating a meas- ure which was to inerease directly the profits of his own produet, (After Mr, Ingalls had delivered this, with great ” emphasis and effect, he paused for several seconds amidst the most profound silence.) A more shame- ful spectacle had never been presented to the Anerican people than had been pre- sented in regard to the measure, In the othier honse it had been under the Jeadership of the chairman of a commitice who was himself enga z.iud in the dairy business, and in this body that gentleman was reinforced by the chairnfan of the committee on agrieul- ture (Miller), who was engaged in the same ::u‘rlallmss. and who was to profit by the legis- ation. Mr. Miller, apparently laboring under great excitement, rose to reply. He denied having referred to the senator’s (Ingalls) calling in early life, and went on to say that whether this bill became a law or not it would not add one farthing to anyprofit which he could poss- ibly receive, No sneers at the dairymen of the country, no implication that Le was actu- ated by base and corrupt motives would cease hls mouth., He appealed from that in- famous clm’rfia‘(u his constituents throuzn- ot all the t rural districts of New York, He left the Judgemont of the matter o them and not to :&? wan on the floor of the senate who ventured to ehary with corruption. These were words which the senator or any other man would not dare to speak to him outside of the scnate chawber, They might shield themselves beliind the constitution and bebind parligmentary rules, but he would go to his constituents on that basis and there he would leave it Mr. Butler closed the debate and senate ad- journed. = iy The House Procee dings.

This gave rise to much discussion. Mr. Morrison intimated that the opposition to the resolution came from gentlemen who did not desire the construction of a certain bridee, referring to the proposed bridge at St. Louis. Mr. Henderson of Towa, said that he did not object to the butlding of another bridge at St. Louis, but he represented thousands of people in the Mississippi valley who were opposed to the construction of low bridges which would interfere with navigation. He had no objection to giving St. Louis another bridge, or two of necessary, but he did ob- jeet 1y jeopardizing the interests of the Mi {ssippi valley for the benefit of « few who wanted to build a cheap bridge at St. Louis. e resolution was adopted. Mr. Cobb, from the conference committee, on the bl repealing the pre-emption. timber culture and desert land laws reported a com- plete disagreement, Mr. Payson van over the points of differ- ence between the two houses and was very severe in his condemnation of the senate amendment which rrovides that after final proof of the claimant (under the homestead or pre-emption laws) and the issnance of a duplicate re ! te, if it shall be proven to th the commissioner that fraud b uired by c that the land Amant, unless it insold or conveyed.
