CHANCE OF VICTORY FOR CAPKIVI Unless Some Untoward Clrecumstance Pre- wents the Military Bill Rejected In Say Will Be Adopted in July by m Deewive Vote, |Copyrighted 1893 by James Gordon Bennett.] Benruiy, July 1.—(New York Herald Cable —Spe to Tue Bee. ] —A more unenviable position than that in which the government finds itself after the elections would be diffi- culv to imagine. After all the coercion which was brought to bear at the polls; after rais- ing the cry, *“The fatherland Is in danger,” which most appeals to this undoubtedly patriotic people, the reply comes in the shape of a Reichstug wherein the government finds itself at the last moment doubtful whethor it has obtained a majority or not; dependent on whether such a small party as the Poles or the anti-Semites will give 1t support, and hable at any moment to defeut unless it gives way to the exactions and fads of one or the other of the parties. That the government will manage to obtain a major- ity, however slim, seems likely, If there be danger of the bill not passing pressure will be brought to bear, and the general opinion is thav sufficient members can detached from the center to obtain a majority on the threat of another dissolution and the conse quent fear of further social democratic v tories, and the usual promises of future con- cessions. may be the allowing of the Jesuits’ return, Some of the Possibllitics. Tt is not to be lost sight of, howerer, that there has been a good deal of talk of the anti-Semites desiring to become the popular party and detachmg themselves from the conservatives and voting against the bill. ‘This I scarcely believe will take place yet, but seven anti-Semites will probably vote against the bill. If the Poles, as is very probavle, also vote aguinst it we might find a majority so large against the bill that the biandishments of the government might fuil to be effective. T hear that the chancellor himself is un- certain how the Reichstag will act. The Kreuze Zeitung, orderof the right, threatens trouble if Caprivi grants any further con- cessions to liberalism beyond the Huene bill, whercas the liberals and portion of the anti-Semites bsolutely demanded the two-years séryice aw as the price of their votes, and Al guarantee thut there shall be no further auilitary taxation, and other concessions. In fact the chancellor is in a dilemma, and it would scem that his future hangs by o thread. Tuesday next the president of the Cham- ber will be elected. It will be, as usual, Von Lovetzow. A candidate for vice presi- dent will be presented by the center and will probably be Baron Herrmann or Baron de Buol, Then the bill be submitted to a commis- sion, which will report six days later. After this the discussion will recommense. Jtis expected that’ several German sovereigns will pronounce in favor of the bill, the regee of Bavaria taking the initiative. Brings u Stroug Elen Fow that the fierce electoral battle is over, the time has come when we can make a study of the features of the new Keichstag, The laurels of victory will sbe with the anti- semites, who have gained no less than ten seats. They were six in the last Reichstag, now they ave sixteen. Their presence still further complicates the machinery of legis- lation, for it adds another party, whose gole object is to obtain concessions from tho government, Broadly speaking, this party would deprive the Hebrew race of all social and civic rights. It fs food for refle tion that they received the support of nearly half a million electors, They have been out- stripped 1n the raid progress made by the socialists, when compared to the anti-sem- ites who rose gradually. Whereas four years ago the anti-semite v represented by one member, at the following election they numbered six, and now sixteen. Now the soclulists have indeed become jealons of them, but there is little doubt but the anti- semites, who today wage war against the Hebrew capitalists, will one day join hands without the socialists in waging war azainst capitalists in gene Ahlwardt, in a pub- lie specch, has already said he will make sceue in the Reichstag, and there are others in the party, for instance Hahuchen, who ave just as violent, 50 we may expect scenes more outrageous than any previously expericnced, Party Losses and Gains. The socialists themselves ave disappointed. After the first returns they expectea to sweep the country, but tho combination of all parties against them and the wmiversal dread of their power moditied their chances at the second election, Tho progressists have lost 70 per cent; the socialists have gained 20, the poles 10, the anti-scmites 160, the liveral conserva- tives D, the conservatives 1. The corservative party will enter with an increase of ten members In this party we miss the refined facs of that skillful orator Btowker, as also the group, headed by Baron Helldorf, which gupported the kaiser through thick aud thin, This party has disappeared, Of the eighteen members of the reich- spartei, there ig its renowned leader, Baron von Kardorf, who has been in the Reichstag since 1808, He wears a false nose, his own haviug been cut off in & duel. This nose is somewhat haughtily shaped, and giv fts owner the aguressive appearance, “King” Stumm, as we call him, the millionaire friend of the kaiser, is there also. Heallows uothwng to pass the Reichstag which does not please him, without attack. fng the offending party. He 1s the terror of the stenographers for he talks very fast and long. The socislists hate him, for he carcied a conservative seat in a soclalistic district. His own workingmen clected him. Wis Hobby is Heligolaud, ‘The wational liberals gain eight seats through the dissensions in the other partics, Aid wow nuwber dfty, aiuougst them Baron 19, 1871 Benda, who has sat since 1867, and is again returned. He is 77 years old, of fine intelli- gence, but not often seen in the house. His hobby is Heligoland. When he makes speech he generally manages to commend it as a desirable summer resort, The historic Baron von Benningen there. e has also held his seat since 1867, and is perhaps the finest debater in the house, and is unmerciful, as Ahlwardt will remember. In the same party sits the famous Prof. Morquards von Erlanger, the finest tactician of the party. Of the twelve centrists who voted for the military bill ouly three return, including the best dressed man in the Reichstag, Prince von Arnberg, a favorite of royalty, and Preacher Lender, wno is the personal friend of Caprivi. Of tho center party, which voted acainst bill, ninety-three in number, we find Lawyer Bachein of Cologne, the friecnd of jews, who occupy an im- portant position in the party, Judge Grober, whom they cail the “‘todtengracbexr” (grave digger) of the military bill, for he summed up the commission’s reporton it, the ardent demagogue, Lieber, who openly expresses his hatred of Prussin; Baron Herrmaun, noted because he seems to weigh every word he utters, and speaks with his eyes shut. He is an excellent president, fair, good tempered, the author of many a bon mot, but he had lately grown pessi- mistic, owing to the tendency of turning the Reichstag into a bear garden. In the Ahlwardt Party. Of the anti-Semites there is again the rough-spoken, shaggy-looking Licberman, weo mistakes shouting for oratorp. Then Dr. Bockel, who heads the party of seven who will vote agdinst the bill. He is looked upon by many as the only serious anti- Semite. His friend, Pickenback, has not been re-elected. Then the theoretical socialists and re- formera, Hitze, Counsellor Riuteln, author of the Domenican laws, Baron Strombech, famous for the number of amendments he brings forward, the rejection of which he accepts with becoming fortitude. Of the independent nine who voted against the oill five have been re-clected, Ahlwardt, the famous buffoon of the Reichstag, is returned for Posen, one of them. Prince Carolath, an indifferent speaker, and Count Levetzow, who is president of the reichstag, acknowledges no party. Threo Other Parties. Of the Poles, who number now nincteen, Jay Dzewski, with his ultra German type of feature and fanatical spirit, has been ro- elected : also Baron Koscielski, courtier and husband of a beautiful wife, He will try all he can to get his colleagues to vote for the bill. No less than thirty-two votes have been lost by the freisinnige party. Richter, the author of this defeat, is there, deserted but undismayed, and Rickert, whose friend Virchow was beaten by an unknown work- ingman, Fischer. When we have mentioned the names of Bebel and Liebrecht you have the entire so- cialist party. Poles Are In Demand. The kaiser has invited Koscielski, the Polish leader, and his captivating wife, who has 50 much influence over the Polish mem- berk, to visit him at Kiel. This visit has alarmed theindependent Polish press, which adjures - the party not to - give way unless Caprivi admits the use of the Polish lan- guage in the schools of Posen, Upper Silesia, ete. Ihear, however, that Koscielski has reassured ‘the kaiser, engaging himself to couvert eleven opponents. A Polish member writes to Germania that oven if his party does not keep to its tra- ditions, voting according to the will of the majority, at all events eleven members will vote against the bill, which means rejection oracceptance by one or two votes. The kaiser today expressed a staong feeling against the two year's service He believes Poles have scceeded Bosse, minister of in- struction, made him a long report on the Po- lish situation. The indications are the op- position to the bill will fail, and it will pats. The kaiser hus postponed his northern trip to await the result of the voting. e USED VIGOROUS LANGUAGE. Mlssouri’s Governor Gets Into a Very Lively Row. NeNapa, Mo, Ju 1.—Yesterday after- noon Governor Stone, Congressman Morgan, State Senator Wight, Postmasser Ingels, Frank P. Anderson and John Cole were sit- ting in the lobby of the Hotel Mitchell, ex-County Recorder King appeared and usked Congressman Morgan if he had heard his testimony before Referee Casey. Mr. Morgan replied that he had not, and King exclaimed: “Well, I told the truth, but Si told a d—d lie!” The governor, quickly rising, seized Mr, Anderson’s crutch and struck at King, who warded the blow with his arm and an um- brella, The next instant the men had grappled, but they were at once separated The governor was fully aroused and used his full command of language to express his indignation, The trouble grew directly out of the suitof the county now pending against the ex- county recorder. —— Wil Be Tried ln Mexico, Er Paso, July 1L—Sherif Simmons re- turned today from the island in the eastern part of this county, bringing with him the Dbody of the ranger, Captain Jones, who was killed yesterday morning by the Olguin gang of outlaw Before uring the body, how- ever, it wus necessary to appeal to the mayor of Juarez, who went in person, ac- companied by & body of police, and not only delivered the body of the dead officer to the sheriff, but arrested the ringleaders of the murderous gang. They will be tried in Mex- fco, and it is almost certain that they will bo shot, us they are greatly feared in that country, as they are bold and heartless free- booters. — ACCIDENT NUMBER ONE. Spud Farrish Has His Hand Blown Of by o Lurge Firecracker, The deadly Fourth of July explosive was responsible for a serious accident last even- ing. “Spud” Farris€® the widely known clerk of the fire department, was the vietim, and as a result he came near losing his en- tire right hand. The accident occurred shortly after 8 o'clock in front of Baudle's clgar store. Henry Newman, & young man who had opened up a stand for the sale of fireworks, banded “Spud” a large fire cracker to set off. He took the explosive aud lighted the fuse, holding it in his hand while engaged in conversation. His attention being momen- tarily attracted from the burnivg fuse, the explosion came sooner than he anticipated and with terrivle results. The right hand was alwost liferally torn into shreds, aud was a ghastly sight to behold, Shreds of flesh and pieces of the flugers were scattered about on the pavement sey- eral feet from where he stood. As quickly a8 possible he was vonveyed o 4 surgeon's oftice and wedical sttendance given. 1t wos OMAHA, SUNDAY MOR found necessary to amputate the last three fingers on the hand at the middle joints, the forefinger at the first joint, the thumb being completely blown off. The outer palm of the hand was badly torn and lacerated, but it will probably be saved. Unless something unforeseen occurs the hand will be saved ex- cepting the portions of the fingers taken aft, Mr. Farrish was removed to the Presby- terian hospital, where he will receive treat- ment, [——— AT COURTLAND BEACH. Magnificent Ba'loon Ascension Draws a Dig Crowd at the Popular Resort. All of the 1,500 men, women and children who went out to Courtland beach last night had a great time, and when they returned to the city it was with a feeling that the charming little spot was one of the finest in the country and that it was well up toward the front as a competilor with some of the resorts of the mountains and the cast. The night was just the kind for an outing and the water was in the best possible con- dition for bathing and until nearly midnight every inch of water front within the danger line was occupied by some of the plungers. One of the crowning events of the evening was the balloon ascension, an act in which a young man went up 3,000 feet into the air and formed the acquaintance of the clouds. The start was exciting in the extreme, for a8 soon as the captive balloon was cut loose from its moorings it shot into space like an arrcw, soaring over the lake in a northerly direction. Away the airship went until it did not look much larger than your hand, Suddenly there was a pistol shot and in- stantly the young navigator of the air dropped toward the earth, For the distance 0f 500 feet he fell like a stone, but gradually the parachute opened and spread out like the wings of a great bird, stopping the force of the fall and allowing the balloonist to land as gently as though he had been provided with wings, There will be another ascension at 8 o’clock tonight, but instead of a man, it will be a lady who will make the journey toward the skies. During the past weck the beach penple have made a great many improvements about the lake front and upon the grounds. A horse gate has been opencd at the east end of the bridge, through which all of the carriages are admitted. This does away with the drive through the soft sand thav covers the road, and furnisnes a drive over the elegant gravel road bed that runs along the south shore of the lake. Last night, and for the first time, the grounds were illuminated by the sixteen 2,000 candle power lights, producing a pretty effect and Jighting up the beach until it had almost a midday brightnes: ot b il TIRED OF LIFE. Sulclde of Thomas Morrls fn a Fit ot Despondency, “Suicide intentional, I want to die” was thenote left by Thomas Morris before he took a dose of morphine at the Nock hotel, Thirteenth and Cass streets, yesterday. » From whatcan be learned from the em- ployes of the place Morris or Morrison, as he r tered, came in aoout 9 p. m. Friday and was assigned to room 16. Nothing was thought of the fact that the guest did not get up for diuner, because several roomers on that floor work at night and do not generally show themselves till toward evening. . Y During the storm in the afternoon some of the nelp went around to close the windows and discovered the dead body lying across the bed. The coroner was sent for at once. After viewing the body Mr. Maul stated that death had taken place srx or eight hours before. A thorough search was made, but all that was found was the note above mentioned and the words Kansus City, written below the name on the card. After removing the body to the morgue the covoner telegraphed to Kunsas City, asking tha chief of police to look up friends or relatives of the deceased. Notning is known about the man here and he is supposed to be a stranger in the city. An inquest will be held at 11 o'clock this morning at the morgue. e M'CLURE SENTENCED, Judge Scott Gives the Traln Robber Fif- teen Years of Weary Isolatio Charles McClure, the Missouri Pacific train robber, who wanted all men to know that he was a bad man, and who said he had committed quite a number of crimes in the train-robbing line, pleaded guilty to n charge of obstructed the United States mails before Judge Scott yesterday and got o seatence of fifteen years in the penitentiary. His accomplices, Squires and Bennington, were arraigned yesterday after- noon before United States Commissioner Dunay, who bound them over until Monday morning at 10 o'clock to appear before Judge Dundy for preliminary examination. In addition to the dose of weary isolation given McClure, Judge Scott sentenced a col- ored gontleman named Anthony, who owned up to having stolen a couple of boxes of cigars from the cigar store at Sixteenth and Douglas streets, o serve his state for the same period that the late Jacob served to secure his second wife's sister for his first wife. Two of the traln robbers, Squires and Bennington, were turned over to the United States authorities yesterday asternoon and were arraigneg under a charge of conspiring to commit an dffense against the govern- ment, —_—————— CANUCXS ON HAND IN FORCE.

NG, JULY THAT EXTRA SESSI0N Financial Matters Alone Will Be Considered When it Convenes, CONGRESSMEN ~ EXPRESS ~ THEMSELVES Mr. Wheeler of Alabima Tells What Con- gress 8hould Do in the Premises, WHAT IS EXPECTED TO BE ACCOMPLIZHED MoMillan of Tennessee Outlines the Policy of the Demooratio Party, REVISION OF TARIFF AND ELECTION LAWS Both Will Rocelve tho Attention They De- serve—The Bimetalilo League Ready to Oppose Lei lslation Unfavor- able to tlic White Metal, WASHINGTON, July 1.—The opinion held by o number of congressmen is that the extra session called yesterday by the president will not be a lengthy ono and that financial matters alone will engage its attentioc. Prominent among this class is Congressman Wheeler of Alabama. “The president,’ said Mr. Wheeler, “‘has called congress ther by reason of the gravity of the my question, and that alone. The people have tested the virtue of the siver purchasing act and now they should be given an opportunity to obscrve the working of its repeal. There arc numerous members of congress who believe it would be wise for congress as soon as It organizes to pass a resolution giving the president authority to suspend the purchase act ordeal with it as he may deem best. Congress could then adjourn at once, the relief demanded by the people haying been grantéd. Then when congress convened in regulaf session in December the financial question €ould be dealt with intel ligently’ and. with deliberation and the r sult of four month§! work under the pres dent might, under the resolution, be intelli- gently considered, CongressmanMoMillan's Opinlon. On the other hadd, Representative Me- Millan of Tenness, Wwho is regarded as the democratic leaderiof the approaching ses- sion, holds to the view that the session should begin at ongs the work which must come'before the mext congress. He thinks that it would be n‘wch preferable to have a continuous session find an early adjournment of congress about May. If only a short sossion iy held mow the regular scs- sion, which meets in. December, would be long drawn out; ‘and tanff legislation would go before the couutry at as late a day a3 did ghe McKinky and the Mills tariff Dbills.

MeMillan sild @hat tho next congress w.s certain’to accomplish two things. The tari 1 laws would be revisedund the law com- pelling attendance of deputy marshals at the polls would be repeiled. The unsettled and panicky condition of finances must be most carefully legislated upon and the confidence of the people restored, but in what way was this thing to be accomplished, Mr. McMillan was unwilling to say. Action by the Bimetallle League. General A. J. Warner, president of the Bimetallic league, toduy sent to the mem- bers of the exccutive committeo a tele- gravhic inquiry as to what date would suit them for a convention, and suggested July 25, and the place Chicago. All the relies were favorable, and the matter was left in General Warner’s hands, Although he has notfinally decided it, he is of the opinion that the convention will be held at the time and place named. The object of the gathering will be to organize 5045 to influence congress favorably in the direction of silver and to fight the repeal of the Sherman act, if such repeal is to be made without offering some kind of a substi- tute. Inan interview today, Mr. Warner said that when it was found that the last con- gress would not repeal the Sherman law, it was given -out asicoming from the white house that “an ‘object lesson would be afforded the people,” Wilt Fight Repeal. “Acting in the first instance under tho in- fluence of foreign bankers and gold monomet- allists,” said Mr. Warner, *‘Wall street, and the banks generally, conspired to produce a conlition which was attributed to the Sher- man law, with a view to creating a public sentiment which would force a repeal of the act. The banks are now finding that the gun they loaded for others kicks backward and that they them- selves are being punished by the conditions they helped to create. The truth is there is no want of confidence in money itself, but there is o fear least prices continue to go down until debtors will not be able to con- vert property into tt ry money with which to pay debts.” Referring ta the proposped repeal of the Sherman law, Mr. Warner said that it would not be repealed withoat & desperate fight, “and,” he continued, *“I do not think it can be reyealed at all without u sutisfuctory sub- situte, Silver men do not propose to let go the hold they yave until they are assured of as good or a better gue.” CAK WORKS CLOSED DOWN, Madison, IiL, Big Anstitation Makes an Assigament, Sr. Louis, July L—The Madison Car com- pany of Madison, IlL,, filed articles of ussign- ment in the recorder’s office at Edwards- ville, 111, today. Paul A. Fusse is the as- signee. The liabilivies of the company are $018,000; assets, $1,122,000, When the news reached this city it created great consternation among brokers, as all the parties interested are beavily concerned in & number of big local enterprises. The Madison Car works are controlled by what is known as the Gramte Mountain people, who are also behind the Merchants Bridge, Security Building and & number of mining enter- prises. Six months ago the company bonded itself for 8500,000. This was used to pay off all outstanding indebtedness and enlarge the plant and wa# known to Fuws lefy the company with plenty of working capital. The works were running to their full ca- pacity, turniug out between forty and fitty cars & day. The capital stock of the &h- cern is 500,000, Major C. B, Ralawater, one of the learing members of the company, said the company had been embarrassed by paper which they 2, 1893-SIXTEEN PAGES. had endorsed, and which was not paid at matarity. This paper was received by the company in sottlement of accounts for cars supplied railroad companies and, of course, its nonpayment might have been embarrass- ing in the present stringency. In reply to further inquiry Major Rain- water said that he had no idea how much of this paper was in existence. He was asked about the §15,000 protested a few days ago and in which Post, Martin & Co. figured and he suid that he had an idea that was only one item, and that would prove that rather more than that amount of paper had been thrown back upon the com- pany, but he reall W no idea how much, He concluded by saying that he thought the susponsion would be but temporary, the company was doing a good business, had plenty of orders on hand and he would be greatly surprised, therefore, if the concern should not be able to resume at no very distant day. The Madison Car works is located at the town of Madison, IiL, a village of 4,000 in- habitants, at the eastern end of the Mer- chants’ bridge. The concern is one of the largest of its kind in the United States and was built two years ugo, and operated since by a numover of the same capitalists who invested in it a parvof the wealth they ac- crued from the famous Granite Mountain mine. They are the same men who put up the money to build the Merchants bridge, at one end of which the town stands. It was their intention to make the town another such place as Pullman, 111, and the project was meeting with much success. Southecn Sentd WasHiNGTON, July 1.—. stant Secretary Sims of M ippi, acting secretary of the interior, when asked about the prospects for the repeal of the Sherman act, said: “In the south during the past six months there has been quite a revolution in public senti- ment touching the frce comage of silver, and [ think that congress will give expres- sion to this chango by following the vres- ident's lead. Ido not doubt that the finun- situation wili be improved somewhat by the mere eoxception of the repeal of the Snerman law, and that public confidence will again find firm footing when it shall be swept from the statute books.” ent.

The board reports on & plan for ascertaining the true value of the property assessed. The com- missioners have acted on the belief that the equalities existing in the collection of taxes will best be done away with by fixing stundard of levy, and believe the casiest standird is the true merchautable value. That is the predominant idea of the whols report, and the words ‘‘real value” are de- clared to mean *‘exchange value.” The duties of assessors are made very clear upon this point.
