LoNDos 2. - [New York Herald Cable to Tue Bee]—After the farewell dinner to Mr. Phelps, surely nobody can doubt that an era of peace and good will has fairly Why talk of spending a Jot, nore money on the navyt Why pay any more attention to Charles Bevesford! Peace and brothierly love are to be universal law; Jan, Special in. 80 it was scttled at the mansion house by the lord mayor and his guests, Mr. Phelps committed himself to no such assurances. Indeed, his speceh is admitted o be the most perfect thing of the kind ever to the of the In dignity, in traces feeling, pathetic broud and mencrous principies, this farewell address was a model, but Mr. Phelps must have wished he coutd have im. parted some of his own good judgment to his friends and admirers, Here is the Times praising him up to the skies for entering into and identifying himself with the sympathies and anxieties, aspirations and achievemeuts of the Tnglish peot But many people may cnink that toidentify himsell with the aspira- tions and and achievements of the people is no part of the duty of an American minister. Is not this carrying the eraof good willand soft sawder a little too far? Mr. Phelps, howev anot be held respons o for *he extravagance of his admirers. as not discharged his duty ady less firmly or faithfully because he hus lived on good terws with the English people, and it is a wonderful triumph for him. Ie has act- ually eclipsed Lowell's fame as an after dinner speaker. In the diplomatic world our foreign ofiice can get along very well with Phelps, but when it has to deal with Bismarck it 18 in danger of finding itself playing second fiddle. The wily old German has drawn England into the last African difficulty, out of which there scems to be no way to escape, and now he is playing a game in the East Pacific that may have serious consequenc If he had to reckon with England alone, he might possi- Bly give himself very littie trouble over the matter, but the United States insists on tak- ing a hand in the game, and that contingency may have not been included in the deep laid plans of the great professor of blood and iron. . The Cologne Guzette, which scems to have taken the coutract for sweeping the Bis- marckian workshop, trics to make out that President Cleveland is a nonentity, and that the new president will make a clearance of his policy, as wellas of his staff. It also kindly warns the United States to koep out of this Samoan mess, because Germany will not recognize their right to in- terfere in any way with it, and this notice appears in so many German papers_simultan- eously that its official organ cannot be doubted, But meanwhile the United States may not choose to be thus peremptorily warned off, considering that so many Americans are set tled in the Pacific island. It has been stated that the three nations entered into a treaty about Samoa, but the German papers are «uite right in denying this. Germany and England @tered into such a treaty, and Bis. marck appears to think he can transgi it jJust as interests way seem to require England would not fight for Samoa. She might protest against Germany seizing it, but if the protest was unheeded that would end the matter. Thus it must fall to the United States to decide whether or not Ger- many shall be the dominant power in the South Sea islands, and the quest’ n cannot be longer deferred. It is likely w be met and settled without much reference to the objection that America has no treaty with Gerwany concerning Samoa. The opinion which prevails in well informed circles here s that Germuny will seck to como to & fricudly understanding with the United States, leaving England to look out for her solf. Communications have passed between the German aud British gov 100 conciliatory on the part of the former. It is probable that nothing much will be known of the intentions on either side until parliament meets, which will be in a little over taree weeks' time. Then who can say what topic may be uppermost! Iustead of Samoa it is likely to be Ireland, for that never fals There does not appcar to bo much public sympathy, totell the plan truth, with the Irish members of paclisment who have been arrested. It may seem strange, but the faet i that the buik of the people look on with indiffereuce, if not with approval, at the pro- cpedicgs of the Irish oxecutive, One hears Abis said constantly. “If members of par- liawent break the laws why should they not 12 punisbed as well as an hwmbler person Thus it s tuae Lhe Lnglish journals are very solf possessed and tranquil over their Irish presented notice British public. acep of in allusions, and respect or German nments none OMAHA, sntury and ought to have acquired some experience of their working.

Deplorable Condition of Affairs in Seward County. Louis, Jan. 26.—A special from Kan- sas City says: Information has been re- ceived here that many people m Seward county, Kansas, are on the verge of starva- tion. Appeals have been sent to various places, and to-day a letter was received by the postmaster here from Mrs. James K. Richardson, who lives eleven miles from West Plains. ip which she says: “Many of us have not sufficient food, and only a few have cnough clothes to hide our nakedness. There is no _opportunity for the people to carn anything by labor, as there is nothinp to do, and no money to recompense them if such were the case. The children are without proper nourishment, and the mild winter alone has been_ their salvation.” The writer makes a plaiative appeal to the people of Kansas City. Seward county is in that portion of Kansas that has suffered from crop failures, and many of those who went with a little money lost their all and are now forced to appeal 10 the charitable for help. - No Faith in Christian Science. Pierue, Dak, Jan. 26.—|Special Tele- gram to ‘e Ber.]—M. A. Elliott and Mrs. M. A. Campbell, two apostles of enristian science, or fuith cure, recently came to Pierre and started @ class to teach the science. An infant boy of W. G. Nixon died yesterday morning with no other medical attendance than these scientists and tneir alleged cure, and for two days they have been attempting its resurrcction from the dead. To-day the population found out the facts, and an angry indignation meeting was held to notify the parties that they must make themsclves sc or suffer the c sequences. To-might the excitement runs high, ana talk of tar and feathers or worse is frecly indulged in. An_iuquest 1s boing held over the babe.

Cricaao, Jan, Special Telegram to Tne Bee. The Ilinois Central was still absent this morning when the roll was called in the railroad presidents’ meeting in the Pacific hotel. The remaming twenty in terested roads were represented by officials who are growing more and more enthusi astic over the agreement. There was a free interchanging of opinions before the meeting came to order, Where the first day's ses- sion opened with mutual distrust and a for mal exchange of greetings, the sentiments expressed this morning were the confidential ones of friends, and the salutations to late comers bordered on the intimate. The ears of outsiders were twice shocked with a “Hello, Joe,” and “Hello, Bob," which showed that'the icy aloofness of presidential dignity had rapidly melted under the warmth of the conference Said Gen'l McNulty, re. siver for the Wabash Eastern, before the ing opened: “Lam surprised and delighted at the way in which the representatives are foreing themselves to agree. The first day con vinced us that there niust be a perfectly free airing of opinions, and all of us have since acted upon our convictions. We all believe that the so-called presidents’ agreement, as a whole, is an absolute necessity to the proper conduct of railroads. The exact wording of the agreement and its perfect understanding by all members is a matter of the greatest importance, and when we have finished our session there n be no possible doubt as to any of the provisions of the Said A. B. Stickney, president of the Chi- cago, St. Paul & Kansas City and lowa Cen- tral railroads at the close of the meeting: “*We have passed the arbitration claus the agreement. It has been under discussion a long time, but it finally passed unani- mously. That is the way, i fact, that all our legislation must be passed. The arbitration clause was a ver im- portant one and passed practically as it was represented ut the New York meet- ing. After we had passed the arbitration clause, wetook up » matter of the division of territory for association purposes, We did very little on this point up to adjourn ment, and probably will not finish 1ts con- sideration this afternoon, It is also a very important point.’ SWill the territo thrce associations “Not being a prophet, Ican'ttell. Opin fon is divided on the subject, and I think we will have difiiculty in agreeing about the as- sociations.” “How do 26, be controlled by one or you explain the absence of the Tlinois Central from the conference!” “Well, I expect they think the agreement, will fall short of expectations and don’t con- sider it worth the trouble wasted upon it?" “Is their absence to be construed as an- tagonistic “No, I think not. I have every rcason to believe that the Llinois, although outside of the agreement, will live up to its terms as long as the other roads do.” The arbitrary 1se, the only one de- finitely acted upon by the presidents, is as follows “'In case the managers fail to agree upon any question arising under this agreement that shall be brought before the association, it shall be referred to an executive board, consisting of three exverienced men. The members of such board shall, on the organi- zation of the association, be clected by u unanimous vote, but they, or three of them, may be removed by a two-thirds vote of the members. The board shall determine all questions, hear and decide all cases of com- plaint, and prescribe the time upon which such hearing shall be had, with the view of preventing all unnecessary delays, after which the di ion shall be rendered within ten days, and said decision shall be final.” ——~—— Mrs. Browu's Trial. Masox Ciry, Ia., Jan. 26.—[Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee,]—The jury in the now famous Brown case was selected and sworn in this morning. The judge warned the jury against reading comments of the trial in the newspapers, remarking that the reading of these comments was like convers- ing with the editor. The proceedings were begun by County Attorney Clark read- ing the indictment charging her with murde and during the reading the court room ‘“was as still as the voice of the dead.” He outlined his e and stated that the testimony of the state would be mostly circumstantial, but that it would be conclusive. Mr. Cliggitt followed and impassively related the story of the life of the defendant, many being visibly affected. When he referred to the aged father of Mrs. Brown, who sat directly behind her, a truly pitiable picture it presented. On speaking of the death of Jesse, the defendant for the first time displayed emotion, The court room has been thronged all day long, many ladies being in attendance, Henry Brown, the thirteen-year-old son of the defendent, was the first to testify. His story was to the effect that he had been with his brother all day. His grandfather was in his room, and they did not see him in the kitchen, where the poison was. He also stated that he did not see his father go in the house after they had returned from Put, until they all went in to get supper. Rats were in the house, butthey could not get into the cupboard Mrs, Hattie Brown, sister-in-law of the defendant, said that the accused had told her that she was living a two-siaed life: was not happy with Hiram; did not love him, and that Jun Anderson would make & €ood hus- band for some woman, The court adjourned until Monday without coneluding her testimony. Panic in a Theater, Sr. Louts, Jan. 26.—A scene of wild citement occurred at the Olywmpic theater this afternoon. Near the end of the first act of the opera “Ermine,” a small fire wa noticed, and all at once the great audience became panic stricken. There were some cries of “fire,” and for a time it looked as though there must be a loss of life, as the audience was composed principally of ladies and children. Some women fainted, others went into hysterics, and it was with great difficulty that the few men present restored order. No casualties are reporte: adlail J ALY ica's Course Applanded .—The Pesther Lloyd and other Hungarian papers, in discussing the Samoau question, favor American opposition to German encroachments.

We are atsolutely resolved to be one with the English government, and to uphold the unity we have shared with the English in Afr The only unpleasantness that bas arisen has been with subordinate officials, for which the government neither cares nor will be responsible. We cannot recognize the necessity for a discussion of this bill in committee. Icould just as well say to the full house'what I might have to say to such committée. The time gained on this question is not only a money but blood gain, Besides, we have no information that could be given the commlttee about the de- tails of our plans—thé: forcs to be enrolled and their arms and ammiunitions—for fear of making our foes acquainted with them. “The blockade has less of a military than a political significance. The chief thing was to prove to the natives the unity existing be- tween Germany and England, ana also to show the European powers that the concert was complete. We have concluded no treaties with England, but ean regard her as an old historic ally with whom we have been in ac- cord for 150 years, even ou colonial ques- tions.” The chancéllor next spoke of ‘the criti- cisms of Herr Bamberger, taunting him with his change of colonial policy. He ad- mitted that he had departed from his opin- fons of 1885, but his present action was dic- tated solely by immediate circumstances. “For the sake of 2,000,000 marks,” he con- tinued, “I cannot throw myself against the great impulses of a nation, nor offer opposi- tion to the will of the whole country. To this day I am not a colonial man. I enter- tain the gravest apprehensions on the subject, but have been compelled to yield to the general demand of the nation. I ask the assent of the assembly and the empire to my action. Perhaps thirty vears hence the peoplo may bitterly rue to day’s neglect of duty.” Returning to the bill, he held it was not a question of the East Africa company, but of civilization, They must keep their eyes fixed on the suppression of the slave trade, and must obtain a mastery of the trafie. A fur ther task before them was the utilization of the fertile strip on the east African coast. Prince Bismarck'left the reischstag after the bill was sent to the committee, The emperor’'s birthday will be celebr to-morrow. A section student, irritated b the remarks which the emperor recently ad- dressed to Rector Gebhardt, proposes to hold hostile demonstratlons in frout of the pal Prof. Gerhardt says that the cmperor severely commentefl upon the immoral life of the students and. their tendency toward irreligion. His majesty said that a majority of the students professed doctrines and were encouraged thereinjby the democratic profes- sors. He turther complained that the growth of the Jewish element in the university was among the principal ugents of the progressist propaganda, He finished by denouncing the practice of duelling, saying: “'Your students should frequent churches rather than beer shops and féncing saloons,” The have been warned of the discontent wmong the students, aud are taking precautions to ted police prevent their assembling near the palace. In anticipation of the emperor’s birthday, thousands of children were fetea to-day the various school rooms, and 1,000 pupils, by the emperor’s orders, went to the house to witness a patriotic play by Wilden bruch. Prince Bismarck had an interview to-day with the emperor before going to the reich stag. It is understood that they comsulted on the Luxembourg question, concerning which the Prince of Wied arrived here to- day. According to the National Zeitung, full ar- rangements have been made in anticipation of the death of the king of Netherl ands, Imme Qiately upon the king's death the premier of Luxembourg will announee the parliament- and will opera 1 prociaim that the Duke of Nassau will take possession of Luxembourg.
