POLITICS IN PERU, LAma SUIL Sorely Distarbed by the Lawless Followers of Onlonel Caceres. [Oopyrighted 1833 by James Gordon Bennate. | Lowa, Pern (via Galveston, Tex.), Oct. 20,—-[By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald— pecial to Tar Bre.]—The dis- graceful rioting here still goes on unsup- pr ssed by the police. A group of Cacerists went throueh various streots of the city last night shouting," Long live Caceresand doath to congress,” abusing persons whom they met and fi:ing off their revolvers. The police did not interfere with these noisy demonstrations in any way. Another ganz attacked the ofice of the nowspaper, Comercio, which is opposed to Caceres, and began shooting through the win low+ and doors at the employes. A boy connecterd with the mewspaper was shot while attempting to close the strect door. A policeman stan ling at the nearest corner re- mained a passive spectator of this outrage. When the editor of Comercio telephoned to the police station demanding protection from tho mob the chief of police sent a few cav- Alevmen. who dispersed the lawless Cacor- ists. Caceres € Subsequently slderately Apologized. Caceres himself sent his secretary to the ministers of the interior and justice to oxpress his regret for and disapproval of the illegal action taken by his follow rs. To many persons this vioting was not un- expected, so that by 2 o'clock i the after- n0on o/ yesterday most of the stores in the eit were closed and the squares were occu- pied by squads of cavalry. Free passage w .8 only pcrmitted to foreigners, Mayor Kevoredo, who is alleged to be really tha chief eause of all the trouble, had s20t out word, summoning the laboring class's to an exhibition on the principal sjuara of the city, Tho gathering crowds w re met by vhe cavalry, who turned them bak from the square and would mnot allow them to collect thers. Then the. © cerists assembled in considérable num- baes before tho palace and demanded an audience of * President Bermudez They also shouted for the dissolution of con- gress and for a new election for profect. General Sallix, with a force of cavalry, promptly dispersed this mob, by which action he won a good deal of commendation, especially from the foreign residents heve. Many citizens of eminent respectabilivy, when they heard today of the raid on the office of Comercio last night, called upon the editors and expressed their sympathy for them and indignation at the outrage. Disgraceful and Damaging. All is quiet in the city tod: but the state of alarm caused by these scenes of riot con- tinues. ‘e gencral opinion is that tne state of afairs at present tolerated by the authorities is simply disgraceful. The busi- ness of tho city is being seriously impaived, and even almost stopped, by the pre- vailing sense of insecurity, because it is believed 1 many that Mayor Revoredo has instizated the whole trouble and neg- locts to suppress it, bocause he hopes in this way to prevent a meetin, of the elec toral collego here. The aldermen, too, are bringing pressure to bear upon the admini stration, from whom they expect a declara- tion that congress nolonger exists, and that. & new election must be had. Thus they hopo to sceure a victory for the Cacerists. The president rofuses positively to accept the resignations of the ministers, who are resolved that law and order shall be upheld and are opposed to the lax treatment the rioters are now receiving. It is rumored that Kcuador has withdrawn her embassador to Peru, owing to the dis- pute over the international poundary ques- tion. WILLIAN'S CORDEALITY. His Magnificont Recoption to Iis Uncle— German Affirs. \Copyrighted by the Assoclated Press. Beruiy, Oct. 20.—The splendor and cor- diality of Bmperor William's reception to his uncle, the duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha (the duke of Fdinburgh), has causeda great deal of comment in this eity. At 7 o'clock last evening the emperor and the duke dined at the mess of the officers of the Iirst regi- ment. The eldest son of Prince Albrecht of Prussia is now 19 vears of age and is spoken ofas the future husband of the queen of Holland, The German press continues to regard « Franco-Russiansfetes with indifference, As a matter of fact the feeling of Germany egainsy Russin is far less strained than it wus & few weeks ago. As an instance of this the fact is published here that there has been a friendly exchange of visits and ainners between the officers of the Russian brigade of the frontier guards siavioned at Grajewosch and those™ of the Russian up- lauds in the garrison Lyck, Kast Prussia, The socialist congress at Cologne closed thiis afternoon. The last day's session was marked by scenes of tumult and great ex- citement, terminating in a fuvious attack by " Herr Bebel upon Herr Miguel, the finance minister. Herr Bebel read a letter written by Miguel to Carl Marx years ao, in which the former confessed himself to be a com- mumst and anarchisc, The arrest of a workman named Pikeski, cabled to the Associated Press yesterday, and his sentence to two years imprisonment for sending un infernal muchine to his former cmployer, & locksmith pame Schwarch, which exploded and did great damage while being examined at the po ice station, hus developed into an allegad plot to kill Bmperor William during the recent visiv of the latter to Spandau. Piieski testi fiéd that he wus offered 300 marks by the locksmith to throw the machine into the emperor's carviage. Pikeski added that all the detuils of his escape and his passage to America were arranged, Stop Gambiing in the Ariny, Haxover, Oct. 28.—The trinl which took place this week of a number of bankers and a retived army oficer who, according to 100 witnesses, including army ofticers, students and land owners, were guilty of a systematic plan to gain money from them by gambling and usury, has attracted a large amount of attention and has prompted the military au- thorities to take energetic steps to stop gambline in the army.

To give hisvilo fabrications some sem- blance of plausibility, this professional slan- derer undertakes to make peoplo believe that the effort made by Mr. Rosewater with Gov- ernors Boyd and Crounse to procure bis re- lease was only part of a corrupt bargain which ho had forced by sending the editorof ['uw Bie the following threatening lotter May 14.—loa, E.

A most conclusive proof that the alleged letter of May 14 is a libelous fabrication, is furnished in the following letter, the original of which, like the other, is suill in the possession of the editor of Tuz BEE: At Howme, 620 Sour " OMAHA, Aug. 29 .

Would huye called before but for the fact thit Lneed every soure minute 1 have for recreatton. I remuin, my deur sir, yours vory truly, ED A, KOEN, Cheok of u Mrazen Brand, The cheekiest and most infumous feature in connection with this matter is Koen's charge that Rosewater took an active part in his conviction, and tried to buildoze his two bondsmen into withdrawing from his bond, and also manipulated the clerk of the supreme court. Incidentally, it may be \nlmltlnl\ to reproduce the exact lunguage he uses in regard Lo his release: My friends did call on Mr. Rosowater and he, “they told me, agreod that he would du everytling in his power to relleve mo froui imprisonment, and he wouid ad- vocute in his paper that I be relcased. 10 Wik & corruapt burgaln made with a corrupt man, at i tme when nothing but earruption would ¢o any good, . After the Durgain was made with Rosewator, the clork of the supreme court necepted the bond I of- fored, which ho hud heretofore rofused, und L was released. It will be noted that in the first letter Koen sent to Mr. Rosewater he referred to his attorney, Judge Duftle, agreeing to “dutifully ecarry out” whatever conditions might be imposed. Judge Dufie, who has been holding a term of courtin Washington county, roturned home Satur- day night, and when a reporter for Thy Bes yesterday called his attention to the bogus letter the judge suld: Judge Duttie’s Stateinent. +1 was Koen's attorney from the time of bis incarceration in the county jail, after being indicted by the grand jury. I had nothing to do with the cases iu which he was interested in police courf, but I bad charge of his matters in ibe district court und io the state supreme court. After Koen had been couvicted in the district court and sentenced by Judge Dayis I took an appeal to ihe supreme court, where I had the case advanced on the docket for immediate hearing, and Jmurad an order for the 80 Koen At present per bus d not b | from the penitentiary on bond. It was iwo or three mouths after that that the case was decided in the su) court and an order was 1ssued directing the district ludge to impose & sentevce accordasce with toe a folony. During this t ha Had scveral talks with Koen, and I had a number of other con versations with him after he was again placed in jail 1o serve (u_ the sentence. At his suggestion F9 went to see Mr. Rosewater. whg .toll me that ho had no hard feeling against Koen. He said that he had spoken to Governor Boyd about the propriety of pardoning Koen, but that the govbfnor did not like toact on it, as it was 80 near the end of his term, and preferred to leave it for Gov Crounse. Mr. Rosawater at that time s to me that he thought Koen had punished suficidiitiy, as he was a young man, and it would undoubtedly prove a good lesson for wum, ~Ho further stated that ho would be glad to assist in any way that he could in obtaining Koen's roleaso Soon afterward, 1 saw Governor Crounse, and urged him ' to grant the pavdon. but he was very reluctant to act without & recommendation o that effo from Judge Davis, before whom tho was tried. 1 then saw Juage Davis o the matterover with him. kindly about it, and on my sugsestion, Koen™ wrote aletter to him, asking his assistance. It was shortly after that that the judge gave me a lotter to Governor Crounse, 1 took the letter t L and presented it to the governor, who at the time seated at a table in the dining room of the Lincoln hotel in company with Mr. Rosewaier. Mr. Rosewater at that time renewed his oxprossions in Koen's be- half, and snid _soveral encouraging things 1n favor of granting the pardon. it wns vory soon thereafter vhat the pardon was granted. Koen Was Reticent. “During all thid time that I was IKoen's legal adviser, and 1n frequent consuitacio with him, I never heard & word from him about any information that he had or med to have in relation to the consis of thie city, and 1 certainly never attempted 1o makco ay bargain with anyone for his re- Did you ¢ conviction, as lhexn‘fl ment had not charged been ¢ hear that Rosawater tried to induce Koen's bondsmen to surrender him to the sheriff when ho was out on bail?" “That is something catirely new to me. although 1might naturally expect to hear overything bearing on thocase that Koen W himself.” “What about this alleged manipulatien of tho clerkof the supromo court by Rose- water” “I never hoard anything of the kind, and Leertainly would huve heard of it it there had been anything of thekind. All that the clerk of the supreme court had to do with the matter was to &pprove the bond that was furnished for tho releaso of Koon from the penitentiary pending the hearing ana decision of the case. 1 secured the bond and took it to Lincoln, where [ offered it to the clerk of the court. He did not know either of the partics who signed 1t, nor did ho know anything about them, He was un- willing to accept it until he could have them brought before him, as the bond had not been signed in his presence.. I do not sce thav there was anything out of the way or unreasonable in this petition taken by the clerk, and I never heard before that thero was manipulation of him on the part of Rosewater or anybody else. “So far as the charge of a corrupt bar- gain is concerned, it was I who called upon Mr. Rosewater in Koen's behalf, and it was Iwho asked Mr. Rosowater to intercede for a pardon. There was no bargain about it. corrupt or otherwise, and if anything of that kind had been proposed I would no mere to do with i Both Mr. Rozewafer and Judge Davis acted in a very manly way, assisting me, each of them, in obtaining the pardon. What Mr. Rosewater did was .entirely wihout condi- tion, promise, bargain or intimation of any kind or sort. 2 b1 — - IT WENT, LN MISSOURI The Judge Thought, Bible Laws Were Good Engugh, In the early daysof interior Missouri, says the Green® Bag, the late Judge E— cut cordwdod, cleared up his homestead farm and was employed upon one side of nearly avery case that came up, being for some years the only lawyer in the county. . =g o0 Qi { Hé hadmo buoks excopt an old leather covered bible and an old volume or two of history similarly bound, but he read law a short time in Kentucky in h youth. He was very émall and insignifi- cant in appearance, but became bofore his death a splendid lawyer and an hon- ored juage. A youug attorney from the east sot- tled in the little country town with his library of about half a dozen new and handsomely bound law books, and on his first appearance in a case he brought most of his library to the justice's offico ina fine, beautifully flowered carpet bag, popular in that day, E——wasen- gaged against him, and as usual had not a book. When his adversary carefully drew his library from the pretty carpet bag and laid them on the table E— looked astonished, but quickly recovered his ready resources and asked the justice to excuse him for a few moments. s hur- ried to his homestead, balf a mile or so away, and put his old leather bound bible and histori nto a grain sack and brought them to court, imitating his opponent in laying them before him on the table. The evidence was introduced and the eastern man, being for the plaintiff, made the opening argument and read at length from his text books. E—— made his characteristic speech in reply, clos- ing by reading law from his old bible, just the reverse of that read by his op- ponent, and took his seat, putting his ible on the table. His adversary reached over and picked it up, and seemng what it was, eagerly addressed the justice. “Your honor,” said he “‘this man is a humbug and pettifogger. Why, sir, that is the bible from which he has pre- tended to read law.” The old justice looked indignant, and interrupting the young attorney, said: “Set down, durn ye. What better law can w8 git than the bible?” He then decided the case in favor of the de- fendant. Two Sunday Scorches, A child of C. R.

They Express Themselves In Ke Mayor Hareis, 'S Assassination. New York, Oct. 20.-Nothing else was dis- cussed in the clubs and hotels today but the cowardly, unprovoked murder of Mayor Carter H. Havrison of Chicago. The traged was universally deplored, and the wonder was expressed by many that the murderer escaped lynching. Ono of the most prominent Chicagoans who is in New York is Mr. Victor F. L son. publisher of tho Chicago Record and the Chicago Daily News. tiesud at the (Hil- vor Harrison was an_extraordinary emendous in strength and personality, and possessed of what is called porsonat magnetism. He haa made politics his prmcipal business. Al- though opposed by all the daily newspapers in Chicago except his own ho had uchieved a decided victory in the last municipal elec- tion, alihough the moral element was against him.” On the other hand, Mr. son_ said it must be admitted his administration had been successful, although from a high moral standard it could be eriticised, Tt was Ha rison’s method to be all things to all men, Few people had the opportunity Harrison nad of bringing themselves in touch witn tho masses. This. Mr. Lawson said, was extremely truo of his relations with the for- cign element of Chicago. Asked - his} opinion of Prendergast, the assassin, Mr. Lawson said there was littic doubt he was a crank. One of the issues Jast election was the elevation of the rai road tracks, as about one pe the average was being killed. son was supposed to favor this, but after the olection he hiad shown lukewarmness. As result of this there had in South Chi been considerable feeling aroused, the move- meat being led by o pricst. Mr. Lawson thought Prendergist might have been inter- ¢sted in this movement. My Act as Mayor. Tn all probability, according to Mr. son, Oscar D. Waetherell. who comptroller of Chicago, w until o successor of Mayor Harrison elected. Mr. Wethevell is president of the Globe National bank and a republican, and was appoiuted by Mr. Harrison. S, J. Sherwood of Chicazo. who fe at the Holland house, said Mayor Hurrison wasa man whom he had never voted for, but he had always admired him. He was it from a vpolitical view, almost univers honored by the citizens of Chiea Sherwood said undoubtedly Prendergast was a ~rank and no significance was to be attached to the murder of Mayor Harrison. Secretary De Freeste.sa democratic state committeeman, is in favor of additional legis- lation to protect the people against cranks. He said when Prendergast was ing| pres- euce of the dead mayor's s days since he should have at once been taken mto custody. He would go further than this, and say the man who known to be a dangerous crank should be locked up and his mental condition inquired in FESTIVITIES SUS World's Falr People 8 Over Mr. Harrison's Death, 10AGO, Oct. 20.—Seldom has anything awakened such deep sorrow among the resi- dents of Chicago as the death of Mr. fHarri- son. His political enemies, and he hao man, all had a warm spoy for the genial per- sonality of the man, and his friends, whom he mnumbered by thou- sands, fairly worshiped him.
