Among the audience, however, was & crowd of grangers, who had driven through muady ronds for twenty miles to sco the show. Their fancy had been caught by the flaring ostors and they expected to see something 1ke a three-ring circus, Roman hippodrome and menagerio combined.

At the close of the entortainment the grangers held an in- dignation meeting outsido the opera house and decided that thoy had beon swindled. Soma one proposed that “Baldhend” Bill be oranded as an imposter and ridden out of town on a rail. The angry countrymen were surrounded by a large crowd and iheir delib- erations watched with interest. ~Somo of the more conservative of the visitors finally overruled the rail part of the notion and the meeting broke up without domg anything more serious than swearing.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: ERIDAY, FEBRUARY 26,1892 A ——— [FROM YESTERDAY'E SECOND EDITION.] EVIDENCE AGAINST THE WIFE | Story Told by the Olerk of the Hotel Where | the Deacon Tragedy Occurred. EMPEROR WILLIAM'S LATEST SPEECH Why Lilian I Her Duke A raley Is Not Happy with by n Falling eral News from Kurope. [Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennett.\ Gurasse, Peb, 24, |New York Herald Cable —Special to Tae Bek.]—Iam able to give you tke following sworn statement of M. Bau- mann, secretary of the Splendide hotel, made fothe judge d'instruction, who 1s investi- cating the Deacon-Abeille tragedy: “On the night of the erime Mr. and Mrs. Deacon dined'together in their own apartment with their children. 1 am not aware when Deacon left the hotel, buc at midnight precisely he came nto my office. He was apparently calm, and asked me to go up stairs with him, Ho had noth- ing in his hands, 1 could not imagine what he wanted. On reaching the threshold ho stopped in front of his wife's door. After knocking twice, he said quietly, ‘oven the door.) Fully three minutes passed be- foro Mrs. Deacon opened the door, which gave admission to her bedroom. Then Deacon said to me, ‘stand to one side, but do not go away.! By this timel thor- oughly understood the situation. I had caught aglimpse of Mrs. Doacon by the hght of the candle burning on' the mantel piece. Sha was in her might dress. Deacon entered the room alone and closed the door: Aftera lapso of two minutes I heard three reports, which, however, did not in the least resem- blepistol shots. To corroborate this 1 may say that people sleeping in the adjoinwng rooms heard nothing, and none of the visi- tors in the hotel kuew what had happened until the noxt morning, What Actually Took Place. “Immediately after the reports, Deacon opened the door to the bedroom aud came into the corridor holdiug a candle in his havd. He said, ‘Come in,’ and leading tho way we crossed the bedroom. “I saw Mra. Deacon rapldly crossing the room clad in a peignor, but otberwise in her night dress. She blew out the light held vy Deacon, but when I struck a match and re- lighted the candle she said that she wishod it known that Monsieur Abeille was in the salon. Deacon conducted me iuto the salon and went up to the sofa. Pointing behind it, be said: U1 wish there.’ He then told mo that he had leaned over you to noto that man lying the sofa and rired down on the man whom ho saw was Abeille. ‘At that time Abeille was lying crouched up behind the sofa. 1 thought he was dead, as ho neither moved nor spoke. Ho was dressed 1n a silk night shirt, over which he wore trousers, coat and vest. He gave mo the impression of a man who had hasuly pulled on his clothes, “Deacon then retired to his wife's bed- room and callod wy attention to the fact that two persons had evidently occupied the berth, and then said: ‘Send for the police.” “During the whole of this. time Mrs, Dea- con did not show the least emotion.” A remarkable fact 1s that though the room Abeille occupied at the hotel communicaved with Mrs. Deacon’s room, the door was fas- tened on the side of Abeille’s room. It is still more extraordinary why Abeille did not, escapé through the door into the corridor, as he could have done easily. EMPEROR WILL| AM'S SPEECH, His Brandenburg Effort Severely Critleized —A Remarkable 3 Benniy, Feb. 24.—At a banguet given in Brandenburg, av which the emperor was the izdest of honor, his majesty made an address, in the course of which he blamed the critics of the government as enemies of the state. He urged all those who loved the futherland to follow him 1n the course he had entered. After saying that it was consoling to re- ceive in the midst of affairs occupy- ing his whole time so warm a rec- ognition of his cfforts for the people's welfare, he proceeded: - *Unfortunately it has now become the fashion to criticise and nag at every step taken by tho government. Public peace is disturbed on the most in- significant account. Tho enjoyment of Life shared by the whole German fatberland as a result of this nagging and persecution wany persons have been imbued with the idea thay our country is the most unheppy, and worst governed in the world and that fife in such a country is a perfect plague. That this is not the case, we of course, are well awave: but would 1t not be better if diseontented per- s0n3 wero to shake the dust of Germany from their feet, retiring as soon as posaible to somo country where such an undesirable, wretched state of affairs does not, exist. They are of no advantage to themselvos, at the same time are doing us no seryice, “Wa live 1n a state of transition, Germany is gradually emerging from infancy. -She is now about o enter on the period of youth. It would be well, therefore, if w6 reed our- selves from infant maladies. We live in ex- citing days. But quieter days are in storo siuce our people, now umiting, uudetérred by the utterances of voices abroad, are putting thejr trust in Giod and in the loyal solicitous efforts of their nereditary roler. He next reforred to s supvosed Tistorio in cident n connection with Sir ['rancis Drake's discovery of the Pacifie, saving-that whon the admiral had made a'landing in Central America he inquired of *natives regarding the great ocean. A mative chief, response to the inquiries of Sir Fra said: *You are in search: of the - great water. Kollow me and I till show, it to you.” Then, despite tho Warnjngs and. ex- hortations from the admirals, €omrade I'rancis Drake, led by the chief who had v unteered 10 guide him, started to make the ascent of a lofty wountali’ chain. After surmounting many terfible and disbearten- ing difficulties the great .navigator ana his compunion at length finished their, toilsome journey and arrived at the summt of the mountain. Then the chief pointed to the sea boyond them, and Sir Fraucis Drake, 10ok- ing iu the direction indicated, sdw tho wild waters of the sea which he had just crossed. ‘fne chief nextled the admiral around & pro- jecting rock, when, lo, there sudaenly burst upon the enchanted gase of the explorer the sparkling mirror of the Pacitc, stretching away in majestic calm as-far as tho eye could reach, “So may be it ‘witn us,” said Emperor Will firm confidence in the sympathies accorded your. worth and mine inspires me continually with tresh strength 10 continue my task and agvance in the path heaven bas pointed out to me, 1am also im- pressed with the feeling that whateyer has oceurred in the past is due to the band of our supreme Lord on high. I #m Aenily con- vinced that He, who was our .alig at-Donne- weitz, will not now leave me in the lurch, He has so constantly aided tho cause of Brandonburg and wy house that: we eannot bollove that Ho hus done all this for no pur- pose. No, on the contrary, we still have a great aestiny before us, and I am leading you to glorious days.” v In concluding the emperor urged his hearers not to allow glimpses iuto the future to bo darkened by grumblers and the speeches of discoutented partisans: His reply to attacks upon the policy of the government was: My course is the right one and 1t will be prosécutea to the utmost.” “Tuen he added: “I trust by brave Branden- burgers will ussist me in the task.” Tho report of the imperial speacn as nub- Jished in the late edition of the Reiczarger includes the reference to the episode of dubi- ous authenticity, given in certain accounts of Sir Franeis Drake. The press generally has nov Vm.h had uime to eriticise the em- ror's speech. Plho” Hroisianige Zetiung alone comment on the utterances of the emperor. It say “Pho remarks mado oy Emperor William at the banquet whick he attended at Branden- burg are pervaded with the same spirit which impetled " bim to write iu the visitors' book at Munich the sentence: ‘Supreme lex regis voluntas,' aud the inscription under the picture which he preseoted to the min tor of worship: ‘Sic vobiscum jubeo,” sud which produfed his romark at the Brande- burg banguetme 1500, ‘Ho wha bars my way 1 will dash to pieces,’ and the cxpression, hero is onlwbne ruler in the country.

ORDECATL Wronged Woman Who Stands Happidess and a Dach, [Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennett.] Lospoy, Feb. 24.—[New York Herald Cable—Special, to Tnw Bre.|--The real rea- son for the dispute about the marquis of Biandford’s allowance from the duke of Marlborough, his father, in which the latter was victorious, lies in the jealousy which always existed between Lady Blandfora, the duke's former wife, and the duchess of Marlborough, formerly Mrs. Hammersloy. Lady Blandford 1s persona-grata with the queen, and soclety was also on her side when she divorced her husband, although unwill ingly, after writing the most patheticlette offering to condone everything for her chil- dren’s sake. Since then she has openly re- gretted that she did not suffer in silence, for her children’s position is naturally affected by the divorce. But on the other hand, the presont duchess of Marl borough was never cordially recoived, and only on great pressure did the queen allow her to be presented on her marriage, Nor are they welcomed at Marlborough house, for the prince of Wales has a forcible mem- ory for any slight to himself or any one ho favors, and has never forgiven the duke for leaving Lady Aylesford, a friend of his, alone and almost” starving in Pars. It is stated openly that it is entirely the ducbess' fault that the duke no longer pays Blandford’s allowance nor colloge eoxpenses, for Lady Blandford always sat like Mordecal at the gates, spoil - ing all her pleasure despite her high position and great estates. Lady Blandford has one daughter already out and another comns out this seeson. She is enabled to keep up her position by the liberality of the duke of Abercorn and other relatives.

Though from a material point of view there may be con- tinuod signs of progress, it cannot be denied that the evidence of 'real greatness and strength are daily’ diminishing.

Resolutions_were also submitted by the New Orleans Board of Trade as follows: Favoring Increased facilities at the mouth of the Mississippi river; for the improve ment of navigation of the Mississippi rive favoring protection by the national govorn- ment of levoes of the Mississippt river and its tributaries. Governor Hubbard of Texas delivered an address on the subject of water ways. Apdrosses on the same subjoct wore also made by Mr. W, T. Gresha and Mr. Craw ford of Texus, At the afternoon session tho following pro- gram for Thursday was adopted: Morning session: Mississippi river im- provement and protection; addresses by Senators Gibson and White, Afternoon session: Silver coinage: ad- dresses by Govesnor T. E. Anthony of Kan sus, Mr. A. C. i”isk of Colorado and Hon. ‘Thomas Pattison of Colorado. Hon. Warner Miller, ex-senator from New York, and now president of the Nicaragua Canal Construction company, was then in troauced and delivered an interesting ad- dress on the plans and progross of tho canal. Senator Miller gave u brief historical ac- count of the various efforts that have been made to construct an interoceanic canal and an account of the various surveys that have been made by the United States govornment aud private purties, tho results of woicd have gone to prove that tho only feasible route fora canal across the American isth- mus 18 by way of Nicaragua. The gov- ernment has demonstrated this most con- clusively by several exter.ded surveys which it has made of the entire isthmus from Mex ico down to Soutk America. This opinion regarding the Nicaragua canal has been con- ocurred in by all the American and foreign enginoprs who have ever examined the country. ~ Generuls Grant, Sherman and McClelland all approved the route and wero desirous of seeing the work undertaken. It is a well known fuct that Generals Graut and McClolland were voth interested in former concessions and would have been the one president, the vther chief engineer of the enterprise if they had lived. Americans have alwayvs believed in the feasibility of this route and never had any faith 1 the ill-fated enterprise of De Lesseps, and the re- sult proved tho soundness of their judzment, Mr, Miller then gave u description of the physical conditions of Nicaragua and of tho route as now located, over which he had passed with a party of engineers and other gentlemen, who all pronounced the work entirely feasible. I'he distance across the country from Greytown on the Atlautic to Brito on the Pacific is 170 miles, of which there aro only twenty-seven miles of artiticial canal, the rest being river and lake naviga tion, amply providing for the speedy and safo trausit of tho largest vessels now nav- igating both oceans. Lake Nicaragun fur- nishes more than ten times the volume of water necessary for tho operation of the locks of the canal, and for the aruficial basins to be created, while back water nay- igation of the river is obtained by the con struction of a large dam. Tho value of this canal to the commerce of tho United States is best illustrated by stat- ing that the distance between San Francisco and New York and New Orloans is suortened a little more than 10,000 miles from the dis- tance gowng arouna the Horn, or nearly one- half the circumference of the globe. The Pacific states are benefited not only by being brought nearer to the gull and eastern ports, but thev are also_ brought proportio: ately nearer the whole of Europe. Tho ex- ports of wheat and most of the raw proaucts of the Pacific coast go 1o the markets of Europo at the present time, where they aro brought into competition with the wueat coming from India, through the Suez canal. The con- struction of the Nicaragua canal might easily doubio the output of the Pacific states in wheat and other agricultural products and find for them a more profitable markor than now because the cost of transpor which 1s” 1large item of expense in merce, would bo reduced by the reduction of the distance. Mr, [fisk of Colorado asked how the con ress would actin the matter. Mr. Millor replied that the company is a private corpo- ration chartered by tbe government. It is authorized to issue bonas, but has not done 50, owing o the closeness of the home and foreign wnarkets. 1t is intended to sell tho bonds in America, but he had no recom- mendations to make to the congress, Ex-Governor Anthony asked how long it would take to finish the work with the funds on hand, and Mr. Miller replied that it would take about five yoars, Houp.
