The labored rascology of the manifesto and its long- ded sentences were not caleulatod to press the public and have elicited just icule from the press. But the dec] ion k ot fail to inform the governmoent the jce it must pay for the support of the ty in the new Reichstag.

Pro otion to German agricultural interests is other, but subordinate plauk in the mani- to. The demand for a reform in taxation, protest against monopolists and the sug- ted increase of the taxation on luxuries ntained in tho manifesto are also secon iderations, That Dr. Lieber has the ip-hand of the party is most evident in passage referring to popular suffrage d the rights of the foderal state: The reactionpry conservative organs that if the new Reichstag is in- ctible the wovernwent will restrict the ohise and thus get an obedient Parlia- L.

OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 28 1893—TWENTY PAGES character of the empire federal state. The prerogatives of the people are based upon universal, equal, direct and secret suffrage.” Puppets in Liebor's Hands. To some of the aristocrats signing the manifesto—men like Freysing, Hompresch, Buel, Hereman and Von Zundwyk—this lan- guage is foreign. Like puppets in Dr. Lie- ber's hands, they seem to have assented to the declaration without pondering upon what it involved. Therefore, since Baron von Scherlemer-Alst took the initiative in supplying a manifesto more taking to their aristocratic tendencies, several of them, in- cluding Here Froysing, proposed to join the Von Scherlemer-Alst section. This will cause a disruption of the center party in Bavaria, even worse than the break-up of the party in Prussia. Another factor that is causing a panic among the Bavarian centrists is the inde- pendent action of the peasant socicties which have hitherto always supported the centrists candidates, The societies have now issued an electoral address, stating that their representatives have up to this time been co-operating in legislation ruinous to the peasant proprietors and paying alto- gether too much assiduous attention to re- ligious questions. In the coming election, the manifesto adds, the peasant socicties will support only candidates who are de- voted to the agricultural interests of the country and who are reliable as citizens, without regard to their religious beliet or social position. Social Democrats, The social democratic party will turn tho disruntion of the centrists to the best ac- count. Herr Singer took the field today and he will stump Rhenish Prussia and West- phalia. Heo announces that he will speak on the action of the Reichstag with special ref- erence to the attitude of the centrists, Throughout Saxony, always a socialist stronghold, the party seems to be all potent. At the last election, out of the twenty-three members y sent to the Reichstag,seven were soci Unless the present anpear- ances are falsified, cight more seats will bo captured at the coming elections. This will not ba because socialism has grown so much, but because of the absolute disorder that ulted from the impotence of the old as conservatives, but as Christian-socialists, meaning the conservative anti-Semite, or German social blending conservatives, anti- mites and agravians, Then there is the German veform party, led by Herr Zimmer- man, an ox-member of the Reichstag, with a democratic anti-Semite program. Ac- cording to Herr Zimmerman, the inc L) in the army asked for by the government ought to be granted, but the Jews and capitalists should be made to pay the extra expense, as a corollary. Herr Zimmerman holds that a government that is leagued with Jews and capitalists must be over- turned. At mass meetings held at Dresden aud other centers Herr Zimmerman was wildly cheered. : Probable Winners. Amid this electoral medley, the conserva- tive, liberal and freisinnige parties are not much heard of. The struggle lies between the socialists, who form a compact, well directed party, and the new political bodies, composed of old clements, yet hardly in con- dition to know them: s, Obviously trust- worthy data on which to base a prediction of thefinal result of therelections, continues to be wanting.

Cuicaco. 11, May 27.—The rates which the Atchison announced would be put into effect from Colorado on Monday will be held in abeyauce until Thursday. This was granted by the Atebison, in order to give the Burlington, Rock Island and other west- ernroads a chance to harmonize matters among themselves if they can. President Hughitt of the Northwestern declined today toactas arbitrator of the differences tween the Atchison and the other roads. His vefusal was based upon the fact that toe Northwestern was directly intergsted in the points at issue, and that he, therefore, could not consistently arbitrate the differences.

ENGLAND COMES IN FOR HER FULL SHARE Her Policy of Meddling In the Colunial Afialrs of Other Governments and of Giving Natives Ald Has Caused Much Bitter Feellng, 1Copyrighted 1893 by James Gordon Bennste.| Panis, May 27.—[New York Herald Cable ~Special to Tue Bee.)—The European situ- ontinues to be dominated by German s, and the efforts made by the em- peror and the empire show how geave the conditions arc. Many other indications in- crease this impression, especially in Catho- ¢ diplomacy, The different nuncios of the pope are all restless as if some hint of rest- lessness came from Rome. The nuncios re- late that Emperor William told the pope that he was determined upon war, as France was a danger to Buropean monarchies, 1t does not accept the situation brought about by the events of 1870. Therefore war is in- evitable. Consequently it would be better to make warnow in order to diminish rapidly as possible the burdens weighing upon the people. ‘The pope in relating the interview is said to have remarke: “1 pleaded with him, I wept with him, I have not convinced him.” Many Strong Proofs, One proof of the truth of these reports is that since the interview with the cmperor, the popo has a mass said daily to turn away threatening evils, With such symptoms it can casily be understood that the future of in; ational politics is not rose-colored. Another political factor the ever in- creasing friction between France and Eng- land, Every question between the two countries takes on a bitter aspect, especially in colonal affaivs, Madagascar and Siam, where France hus a groat deal to bother her just now, since it has been proven that that the natives receive ammunition and arms through the intermeaiary of England. Tt will be readily understood that the French government is not very well satisfied with such proceedings, which ure habitual in English politics. Preparing for the Elections. Astointernal affairs, France is making ready for the elections. ALl the reports coming from the provinces show that the Panama scandals have produced no effect on the public mind. The elections will go republican, and the composition of the next Chamber of Deputies will be very much like the present one. Perhaps the conservative party will lose fifty seats to their allies, the “regained,” as they arvo called, that 1s, the monarchists who huve become republicans. There is reason to believe that the socialist party will gain twenty seats, espocially in the south, After the elections it is probable that President Carnot will call upon M. Constaus to form a ministry, which may have a chance of lasting two years, and may give to France o much needed stability of government, JACQUES ST. CERE.

A local physician was called in and left a medicine containing morphine as one of the ingredi- ents, giving particular orders that it should be kept from the caildren's reach, Wednes- day the father went out and did not return during the day, leaving his wife lying on the ragged coverlets and unable to move. The children became thivsty, and after crying in vain for drink espied the medicine bottle and climoing upon a chair secured and drank every drop. When the father returned he found the children lying on the floor, one un- conscious and the other struggling for breath, Both died in terrible agony. - OFF FOIt EUKOT Nine Kausas City Firemen Will Attend the London Firemen's Congress, New York, May 27.--Amoug the passe gers on the City of Rome, which sailed for Europe today, were nine sturdy firemen from Kansas City.

The discord in the Réman Catholic diocese of Lincolu between Bishop Bonacum and several of his piriests peached an acute stage during the past week. Rumors of trials and investigation of the trouble have m current for months, Early in the yesk, and as late as April 15, report had it that Mgr. Satolli, the Catholic supreme judge in the United States, in- tended visiting Lincoln for the purpose of personally hearing and settling the difi- culty. These rumors finally crystallized into facts. A short time ago instructions were sent by Mgr. Satolli to Bishop Bonacum that testimony be taken in the matters com- plained of and forwarded to the monsignor, At the same time Bishop Scannell of Omaha was requested to hear and report the testi- mony of the parties to the controversy and forward it to headquarters. The hearing before Bishop Scannell was quictly had week before last in Omaha. All parties to the controversy came together in Lincoln last week. As originally filed, the charges against Bishop Bonacum were signed by a large number of priests. Several names were subsequently withdrawn, and when the dual hearing was had only four names were at- tached. These were Fathers Corbett, Kup- penberg, Crowley and Murphy. Charges Preforred. The charges against the bishop were, in substance: Disobedience of orders, incom- petency, tyranny and violation of the Balti- more decrees. The brunt of the contest between the priests and the bishop has been borne by Father Corbett of Palmyra. His relations with his superior have been strained for several years. During the eampaign of 1800 Father Cor- bett was an active supporter of the cause of the farmers alliance. His activity became offensive to Catholics in other parts of the state and complaints were made to tho bishop. Charges of & more serious naturo were made against him, which the bishop could not ignore. An ecclesiastical trial was had and the case submitted to Bishop Scannell of Omaha for review. The latter annulled the findings, owing to irregularitics in the conduct of the case. Tn this trial the, Wishop is said to have acted asa prosecutor rather than as jud ge, and his conduct sowed the seeds of discord. It was the begining of the trouble. Around it gathered the complaints and alleged wrongs imflicted on other priests, uatil they became of sufficient number and seriousness to justify an appeal to Mgr. Satolli. On these charges testimony was taken in Omaha and Lincoln during the past two weeks. A serious phase of the controversy, and one which imperils the bishop's side, is suid to be a violationof orders receiwved from Mgr. Satolli. In his instruction to Bishop Bonacum regarding the taking of testimony, Mgr. Satolli enjoined sbrict impartiality, and that no punishment. should be inflicted on priests: during the ;dendency of the case. Ignored Sazgt’s Mandate, Notwithstanding these explicit orders, Father Corbett was suspeénded by the bishop last Thursday. ‘The priegt's counsel, Father Phelan of St. Louis,’knowing the orders of the pope’s representative, advised the priest to ignore the suspension and continue per- forming his duties, Particulars of the bishop’s action were wired to Mgr. Satoll, Thus the case stahds. Another factor 1ian the controversy, but one which is not directly involved in the present investigation or trial, is the suspension of Father Walsh of Lincoln a few years ago. When Bishop Bonacum took charge of the new dio- cese of Lincoln lie brought Father Walsh from St. Louis and made him pastor of the cathedral. Although in this position a priest is subject to removal at the will of the bishop, while pastors of other churches are irvemovable except for cause, the posi- tion is regarded with much favor, and ap- pointment to it is considered a promotion. It is a reward and is rarely given to a priest from another diocese; The coming of Father Walsh and the favors shown him did mnot tend to strengthen the bishop in the affec- tions of his clergy. The latter had struggled and uncomplainingly had borne the hardships of ploneer missiodary life and did not relish the prominence given one who was a stranger to the diocese and its needs, Father Walsh Incldent. Fathér Walsh’s career in Lincoln was of brief duration. It was cut short by an inci- dent as shrilling as 1t was somewhat tragic. Immediately after the murder of Sheedy, the gambler, in Lincoln, and the arrest and imprisonment of Mrs. Sheedy on the charge of being an accessory, Father Walsh gave testimony before tha coroner's jury which greatly offended the prisoner. Some time before the crime she professed a desire for conversion, had sent for Father Walsh and received instructions from him. To counter- act the testimony he had given Sheedy charged him with " offcnses, . Bishop Bonacum determined to inyestigate the charges, and brought the accused and the accuser face to fuce 1 the county jail. Mrs. Sheedy repeated the charges and succeeded in convincing the bishop of their truth. Turn- ing to the accused father the bishop indig- nantly exciaimed, “My house, like Ciesar's wife, must be abave suspicion.” Suspension WS 4 nocessary seqiience, It is claimed byithe friends of Father Walsh that the pupishment meted out to bim was unjust excessive—unjust, be- cause he was uivyn,mupwrumny to refute the charges @ agaiust him by one ac- cused, at the tme, of conspiring to take human life, and excessive, in that Father Walsh belonged to the St. Louis diocese and the bishop could not.de more than withdraw his faculties for the digeese in which he was temporarily st. tioneg, Father Walsh appealed the case to Mgr. Satoli and made a parsenal call on the papal representative somgsime ago. His counsel .is thh famous Dr. Burtsell of Roudout, N, Y., who championed the cause of Dr. McGlynn and was removed by Arch- bishop Corrigan, —— Close of fqwa School Canrsox, fa.,” May 27.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—The public schools of Carson, under the superintendence of Prof. A.J.

Kverybody in connection with the fair has been busy all perfecting arrangements for h largest crowd that has yet attended. morning the bureau of admissions ordered 800,000 tickets to be distributed among the ofticers for use tomorrow, but late this after- noon, when the prospects fora clear, warm day tomorrow, became bright, the number was doubled. The rail- roads, surface and elevated, cable, steam and electric roads are preparing to puton their entire service of engines and cars. Word has been received from the sur- rounding towns that large numbers will at- tend from each of them. Director General Davis believes 250,000 people will attend, while others of the World's fair officials esti- mate that the crowd will number from 200, 000 to 500,000 Every one of the fifty en- trances to Jackson park will be open from 8 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock in the evening. There will be no symphony or orciiestral concerts tomorrow, but the music on the grounds will be the same as on week days. Enlarging Thelr Strong Boxes. Midway plaisance is also making arrange- ments to entertain the people who are ex- pected to flow in on them. Every village and restaurant and private commission is getting in readiness and building additions on the treasury boxes in anticipation of a great day’s business. Alfred de Claparde, the Swiss minister to the United States, arrived in the city from Washington today. He had been wired for by Consul Holinger, on account of the recent arrest of a Swiss exhibitor by the United States authorities for disposing of exhibits av the fawr. Mr. Claparde called on District Attorney Milchrist today about the affair and after an explanation of the action of the government he expressed his entire satisfac- tion with the course pursued. School children in force came to see the fair today. The action of the officials in re- ducing the price for admission for the young folks to 25 cents has been productive of a biz increase and Saturday is put down as a weekly children’s day. Notwithstanding the heavy clouds which hung over the White City thousands of young students came out carly and their number, with the prospect of an open evening, will run the totalattend- ance for the day up to about 75,000. The clouds passed away towards noon and this afternoon the weather was warm and bright. Handlcapped by Bad Weather. The fourth week has been handicapped by bad weather and while not reducing the average attendance for the month, it will not tend to make the increase a material one. The railroads continue to stand out for high fares and this, no doubt, is keeping people away from the fair. Strong pressure is being brought to bear upon the roads by fair officials. The action of the state com- 's 1n aeclaring the fair now fully , no doubt, have a good effect and a big increase in attendance may be reasonably expected to begin June 1. Fedro Almida, World’s fair commissioner in charge of the Portuguese exhibit, was found wandering about Lake avenue this morning with his mind complotely unhinged. The unfortunate stranger had $2,500 in his pockets and wore over $1,000 worth of diamonds. He has been stobping at the Lake Front hotel.

Cuicago, 111, May 27.—The signal service predicts f~iv weather for this region tomor- row and the World's fair people are prepar- ing for the biggest attendance thus far dur ing the fair, not excluding the opening day. Three hundred thousand tickets of admis- sion have been prepared and the restaurants and cafes on the grounds are laying in large stocks of provisions in anticipation of big business, The expected bill for an injunction to pre- vent Sunday opening was filed today by United States District Attorney Milchrist in the federal circuit court. The district at- torney does not ask for a temporary injonc- tion and as arguments on the bill will not be mades till next week there is nothing in the action to prevent the proposed opening of the gates tomorrow. The district attorney preferred to wait till the arrival of Chief Justice Fuller before bringing the case to actual hearing, Bill for an Injunction Filed, Before filing the bill there was a brief con- sultation between Milchrist and Edwin ‘Walker, attorney for the exposition. They then went before Judges Jenkins and Grosscup, and the hearing was set down for Wednesday in order that the chief justice might sit with them. The bill was then taken to the clerk’s offices and filed. The entire proceeding took but a few minutes, and a mere handful of people w(ere present when the matter was disposed of. The bill declares that when the fair was dedicated it was turned over to the national commissioner for the United States: that the act appropriating money for the fair provided that it should not be opened on Sunday that the national commission has power to modify the rules promulgated by the local directory; that the Sunday rule adopted by the directory last October aftsr accepting the donation from the government was modified by the national commission, s0 as to provide for the closing of the gates on Sun- day.

Many of the men in charge of state buildings have mnot yet deter- mined their course of action on the Sunday opening question. That controversy has been in such an unsettled stage up to now that they have not given much thought to theirown part in a Sunday exbibition, Several commissioners announce that their buildings cannot bo opened because 5 lative enactments forbid 1t.

They May Lose the Keys, The New York law provides that its state exhibit shall not be open on Sunday. that may result in the closing of its building.

This has not been ordered by his legislature, nor formally requested by his people, but he thinks Virginia's sentiment is in favor of a closed building. On the other hand, quite a number of the commissioners state positively that their state houses will be at the service of the public and of their home people whenever the fair gates are openca.
