(Copyrighted 1994 by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, May 5.—The Prussian Unterhaus on Tuesday last, by a vote of 237 to 92, passed the Evangelical church laws amendment bill. The new law permits that church in the future to regulate certain matters by its own authority. Such matters heretofore ha been decided by the Diet. The bill is a great concession to ultra-orthodoxy and will have the effect of driving from the church thousands of highly educated, broad and liberal minded men. This measure was passed in the teeth of liberal opposition and by the assistance of the cénter party, who want to see orthodoxy strengthened in every church. This will bring about a general up- rising of the liberals and already a call has gone out from a dozen cities. The professors of the universities are tak- ing the lead and have determined to make strenuous efforts to fight what they class as this most serious attack upon freedom of thought in Germany. It is stated the bill will make ineligible for apy church office any one who declines to declare a literal be- llef in a material trinity. During the discussion in the Unterhaus of Herr Mendel's interpolation concerning the futility of the measures in force for the exclusion of diseased cattle, Herr von Hey- dencadow, minister of agriculture, declared the question was still under examination. Experts, he added, favored the formation of extensive frontier slaughter houses, The minister of agriculture also announced that a bill was in preparation, which would shortly be submitted to the Diet, prohibit- ing the sale of swine by ftinerant mer- chants. The Unterhaus today adopted the pro- posals of the budget committee, the chief of which affirms that the permanent or- ganization of the state demands that the amount of Prussian contributions to the empire shall be a fixed sum. This is a virtual acceptance of the plan of Mr. Miquel, the Prussian minister of finance, involving the imposition of new and heavy indirect imperial taxes. But as the center party is opposed to the proposals they have little chance of being accepted in the Relchstag. ' Emperor Willlam and the empress were Present today at the opening of a beautl- ful new Lutheran church, which has cost 600,000 marks. This is the thirtieth church erected in Berlin since Emperor Willlam's accession to the throne. The emperor is to devote the few weeks before his departure for Norway to the consideration of the general maneuvers. Some innovations will be tested at the com- ' ing maneuvers. These military displays will be attended by Emperor Francls Jo- seph and the chiefs of the Austrian staff, who are greatly interested in the new light rifle and the modified German uniform. The emperor's prohibition of officers bet- ting by the tatalisateur system does not mean its abolition, for later he remarked that the suppression of the tatalisateur would mean “driving out the devil by Belzebub,” adding that what the betting machine would lose the bookmaker would gain, and If betting could not be abolished altogether It was better to lose one's money honestly with the machine. But the em- peror concluded the army must give the example of self discipline. Princess Alix of Hesse, who is betrothed to the czarewifch, has gone to England In order to spend a few weeks with Queen Victorla. On the return of the princess to Darmstadt she will be placed under the spiritual guidance of the czar's confessor, Father Jonyscheff, the Greek priest who was sent specially to Darmstadt in order to convert the princess to the Greek faith previous to her marriage. The new name of Princess Alix will be either Marle or Helene. The wedding of the czarewitch and the princess Is expected to take place In November or January next. The Cologne branch of the German Colonial society has forwarded a resolution to Chancellor von Caprivi, expressing con- fidence that the government will defend Ger- many's “‘unquestionable claims” in Samoa and Tonga, and demanding that the Samoans be placed under the German flag. Heavy rains have caused the rivers to overflow in the lowlylng districts of Silesia, and a warning has been issued to the in- habitants, who are taking steps to move themselves and their belongings from the districts which are threatened with floods. A heavy snowfall 13 reported at Glogau, Prussian Silesla. Tro Reelaim Land from the Sea, THE HAGUE, May 5.—The royal com- mission presided over by Mynheer Claly, the minfster of waterways and commerce, has decided almost unanimously in favor of the project to reclaim 500,000 acres of the Zuyder Zee by means of a sea dyke from north Holland to Freisland at a total cost, includ- ing measures of defense and compensation to fishermen, of 315,000,000 guilders. It is estimated that the value of the land re- claimed will be 326,000,000 guilders. The commission unanimously recommends that the state shall undertake the execution of this project, Will Go to Bulld the Canal. PARIS, May 5,—It is stated that several million francs, which Dr. Cornelius Herz, M. Eiffel and the executors of the estate of Baron de Reinach have agreed to repay to the lquidators of the Panama Canal com- pany by an agreement which has been ap- proved by the courts, will be used as the bas's of a fresh scheme to complete the Panama canal, s Little Hope for fmprisoned Tourists. GRATZ, Austria, May 5.—The party of elght tourists imprisoned by a sudden rise of ‘water while exploring a cavern on Saturday have not beem rescued and hope of saving the imprisoned people has been nearly abandoned. There seems to be no doubt that some of the tourists are still alive, as blows as It made with a hammer have recontly been heard coming from the in- terlor of the cavern, The authorities of this city have sent a telegram to Emperor Francis Joseph entreating him to send a detachment of military engineers to the May 5.—In the Relchsrath yes- terday a deputy ealled attention to the situ- ation of the imprisoned tourists and made a vigorous complaint against the authorities of Gratz for their alleged inactivity. It is believed the government will immediately take action in’ the matter.~ LONDON THEATRICAL SEASON, Suburban Theaters Attracting Yearly More and More Attention. (Copyrghted 1804 by the Assoclated Press.) LONDON, May 6.—The growth of London {s bringing the suburban theaters into prominence. The Grand theater, Islington, for instance, was lately visited by royalty, and Henry Irving yesterday laid the founda- tion stone of a handsome new theater at Brixton, another suburb of London. In ad- dition, Mr. Irving promised to perform there, Mr. Irving dilated upon the increas- ing need of places of recreation for the masses, his remarks upon the subject being vigorously applauded. The duke and duchess of Connaught were present at a performance of the “Masquer- aders” at the St. James theater. “King Kodak,"” which was produced here on Monday, is classed by the critics as being a ‘“disconnected play of the American varlety sort,” but the critics are unable to deny that it contains good songs and dances, and that it is well staged and acted. “King Kodak" promises to be popular. Mrs, Alexander's “Her Dearest which was, produced at a matinee, proved to be a poor play. Daly’s theater has been crowded through- e week with enthusiastic audiences, As You Like It” being the attraction. Mile. Yvette Guilbert, the French singer who has long been a great attraction in Paris, is to give an Invitation matinee at the Savoy hotel on Monday next to the Brit- ish critics and theater managers. Mile. Guilbert says there is nothing suggestive in her songs or performances. She Is visiting London on a holiday trip only, but she has been engaged to appear before several pri- vate parties. The French singer’ has re- ceived many English and American offers, but will not accept anything but an offer of the very highest terms, especially to cross the Atlantic, as her income in Paris, she claims, is 250,000 francs per year. The prince and princess of Wales, the duke and duchess of Connaught, the duke and duchess of York and the duke and duch- ess of Teck paid a private visit to the Royal Academy yesterday. Sir Frederick Leigh- ton escorted the royal visitors through the galleries. The performances of Verdi's “Falstaft” in Paris have been suspended, owing to the illness of M. Maurell. James J. Corbett is becoming quite a fa- vorite with that portion of London society which is disposed to “lion hunting.” He received during the week invitations to dine with or take supper with various smart clubs on Sunday. The future arrangements at the Aquarium, where the May fair is now in full swing, include a pet dog show on the 24th, 25th and 26th insts., and a show of collies on June 5 and the two following days. A coaching exhibition is to be held from June 13 to July 17, the patrons including the duke of Wellington, the duke of Marlborough, the earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Lord Charles Beresford, Mr. James Gordon Bennett, Mr. A.

The guests were only twelvo in number and included Henry Ir- ving, J. L. Toole, Comyns Carr, Oscar Ber- inger, Mr. and Mrs. John Le Sage, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hatton and Mrs. Morgan, Ed- win Booth's niece. The following appropri- ato lines were printed at the head of the menu: “Art thou not half myself— “One faith has ever bound us and one rea- son “Guided our walks.” Mr. Toole proposed Mr. and Mrs. Scott's health and Mr. Scott In reply sald his only regret was that the friends assembled round him had not been able to be present at his wedding. In the revival of “Money,” which is to follow “‘Mrs. Lessingham” at the Garrick, Mrs. Baucroft will play Lady Franklin and John Hare will take the part of Sir John Vesey. Forbes Robertson will be Eviyn. Considerable curlosity 1s felt regarding Beerbohm Tree's arrangements for the pres- ent season. He announced some time ago that he intended to give a matinee of “Red Hall,” by Mrs. Oscar Beringer, in aid of the Society of British Dramatic Art, but so far no definite arrangements have been made for the performance. “A Modern Eve,” by Malcolm Salomon, the dramatic critic of the Sunday Times and author of that charming series of sketches, ““Woman, Through a Man's Eye- glass,” was also to have been produced early In the scason, but has now been post- poned until the end of May at the earliest. The chief parts in “A Modern Eve,” when it finally sees light, will be played by Mrs. Beerbohm Tree, Miss Lottle Venne and Mrs. Dion Boucleault, The annual ball in aid of the Hun- garlan Assoclation of Benevolence which is invariably one of the smartest society func- tions of the year, will take place on the 31st inst. It will also be under the patron- age of the duke and duchess of Teck. The czardas, or Hungarlan national dance, is always performed on these occasions by prominent Hungarian residents in Lon- don.

(Copyrighted 1894 by Press Publishing Company.) SAN SALVADOR, May b5.—(New York World Cable—Special to The Bee.)—Gene Antonlo Ezeta, vice president and brother of President Carlos Ezeta, is commanding Santa Ana, which is still held by the rebels. Citizens of the place, dreading bombardment, begged the rebel leaders to leave town, but thelr entreaties were of no avail. A battle was fought, in which 100 rebels were killed and many wounded, according to the gov- ernment report, while the loyal army's loss was small. General Ezeta has taken meas- ures to cut off the retreat of the rebels, and it is said that the uprising will speedily be put down. GUATEMALA, May 5.—(New York World Cable—Special to The Bee.)—Salvador has declared a press censorship, and all reports are colored to suit the government unless they are sent out of the country secretly. The rebels are gaining ground. They num- ber now about 2,000 well armed men, and are likely to be immediately reinforced from Honduras. General Letona, a Salva- dorian refugee, who has been absent four weeks and has just returned, assures the World correspondent that Ezeta's downfall is certain; that the president is very un- popular throughout the country, and espe- clally since it became known that he is surrounded by advisers, who are mercenary and destitute of patriotism. This revolu- tion has been planning a long time. The latest advices from Santa Ana say the revo- lutionary movement, which was initiated by Generals Fernandez and Letona, 1s rapidly gaining strength. The forces under General Antonio Ezeta, numbering 7,500 well disciplined troops, were preparing to attack when they recelved news that the rebels would advancc. Ezeta then suspended operations. Honduras is supporting the re- bellion. The Salvadorian official report of the tremendous losses inflicted upon the rebels is fals PROTECTING ITALIAN EMIGRANTS, * United States and Italy in Full Accord on the Subject. ROME, May 5.—In the Chamber of Dep- utles today, during the debate on the foreign estimates, Baron Blanc, the minister of for- eign affairs, sald in regard to the conditions imposed upon Italian emigrants: “We have been In correspondence with the United States and have the satisfaction to announce We have found the autherities at Washing- ton to be most anxious to co-operate with us with the view of protecting our emigrants from the snares of so-called agents and bankers at the ports of arrival and to put them in the way of embarking in profitable agricultural pursuits. We hope “to attain the same result with Mexico, whose govern- ment appears to be well disposed.” Baron Blanc proceeded to refute the as- sertion of one of the deputies, Who claims the New Orleans affair nearly led to the dispatch of Italian men-of-war to the United States, saying: “The barbarous lynch law, falling upon innocent Italians, un- fortunately interrupted the friendly relations existing between the two countries and served to the profit of the illegal assassins which preyed upon our emigrants. I believe the restoration of harmony will have the effect of delivering Italian emigrants from local tyranny and that it will direct them to new fields of agriculture and colonization especially In the southern states of America, where Spanish is spoken and where the climate is similar to. that of Italy. The more secure legal and social status will open to them prospects not less favorable than in the South American republics.” Dealjgg with the African countries Baron Blanc announces Premier Crispl and Sir Francls Clarford, the British ambassador, had today signed a protocol fixing the boundaries of the Italian and British spheres of interest in the regions situated about the Gult of Aden. Continuing, Baron Blanc as- sured the Chamber that the government intended to_ pursue in the Afican colonies appropriate commercial expansion. The baron then referred to the position of Abys- sinla, where, he said, Italy was called upon to undertake a tutelage which was highly Important for the future of the African continent, where, henceforth, the interests of the Abyssinians would be so involved that it was impossible to consider them in- dependently. The problem, continued the minister of foreign affalrs, was somewhat complicated, but Italy had: full confidence that her representatives would be firm in the maintenance of the territory already acquired and the protectorates recognized by the powers. Baron Blanc also sald: “In the face of a somewhat difficult situation our interests in the Soudan reglon are nat- urally solid with those of England.” In conclusion the foreign minister sug- gested the necessity of a waterway which would unite Central Africa with the Med- iterranean and caravan routes connecting the laké region with the coasts for the fu- ture development of Africa, Antwerp Exhibition Opened. ANTWERP, May 0.—King Leopold, ac- companied by the king of Belglum, the princes of the royal family, the countess of Flanders, Prince von Hohenzollern, the cab- inet ministers and a host of prominent per- sons, opened the world's exhibition today with appropriate ceremonies, There were over 35,000 people present. The royal party was received at the entrance of the main building by the arch- bishop of Mechlin, and King Leopold in a brief speech declured the exhibition opened. The king then visited the varlous sections of the exhibition, the president of the ex- ecutive committee presenting all the foreign delegates to hls majesty, King Leopold spent much time in the Congo state section, which contains representations of an African village, and another section which was much admired was a reproductipn of Antwerp In the sixteenth century, where mediaeval fetes will be produced during the exhibition. King Leopold has promised to be present at one of these fetes. ON THE VERGE OF REVOLT, Fears that the Queen's Contemplate Mt LONDON w—The Spectator publishes an alarmist article'in regard to India and the possibility of serious trouble in that country. The Spectator refers to the dispatch from Calcutta, published in the Times on April 17, announcing that much excitement prevailed in North Behar owing to the fact that all the mango trees In several districts had been found smeared with a mixture of mud and the hairs of some animal. The officials were perplexed, some considering that the smear- Ing of the trees was a secret sign connected with the cow protection movement, and this and other movements going on in North Benar disturbed and puzzled the government officials. In its reference to the Times dispatch the Spectator recalls that next Thursday s the anniversary of the Indian mutiny and that this anniversary has been preceded by a mysterious distribution of cakes throughout Behar and the northwest. According to the Spectator there is some- thing stirring among tha Nepaulese priests, and it is feared that it portends another serfous rising in India. The rising, if it takes place, according to the Spectator, will be due to the dissatisfaction which exists on account of the rulings of the opfum commis- sion, increased taxes, the cow question wnd other matters which have caused deep mut- terings among the populace. Indian Subjects BANCO ROMANA SCANDA Testimony Directly Connecting the Govern- ment with the Deficit, ROME, May 5.—During the procecdings of the trial here today of Sig. Tantongo, for- merly director of the Banco Romana, the ac- cused testified that ex-Minister Sela pre- vented him from ascertaining the condition of the bank funds. Ite capital was, in fact, exhausted before 1868, Continuing, Sig. Tat- longo testified that In 1881 Sig. Mamliani and Sig. Depretis compelled him to co-oper- ate with the state in drder to raise the price of Italian rentes above 101 in order to facil- itate their conversion, and he further claimed he was made' to swear never to disclose these tramsactions which were not entered in the bank’s books. But between 1881 and 1889 the transactions re- ferred to involved”the baik in a loss of from 10,000,000 to 18,000,000 lire. Finally Sig. Talongo asserted that documents proving these assertions would bs found at his resi- dence. Sig. Tanlongo explained that some of the papers in the case bore the seal of Sig. Maglani and the signatures of person- ages whose transactions with the Banco Romana, though staitding in their own names, benefitted the state. The deficit in the accounts of the bank, he added, was due to advertising and other expenses incurred in the operation of rajsing the price of rentes. The court theri adjourned. L Rkt e BISMARCK'S AMBLTION 18. SATISFIED, Left Power Gladly and Has No Desire to Return. LONDON, May 5.—The Times' correspond- ent at Berlin says that Prince Bismarek, in his speech to the delegation representing the military clubs ~of southern Holstein which presented him an address of sympa- thy at Freidrichsruh on Wednesday, declared he had no ambition to resume power, as his enemies persisted in insinuating. “I re- mained in office,”” he went on, “‘a great deal longer than I wished, simply from a sense cf duty. I could not bequeath to any one my expericnce or the confidence that I had enjoyed at home and abroad, and my sense of honor bade me stay in spite of the un- pleasantness of the task. I never was de- sirous of power and I have little taste for the rank and titles with which I have been surfeited. I do not know what in the world should incite me to place myself again in the shackles. I beg you to believe I am grateful that heaven has granted to me a period of contemplative rest, but that is no reason why I should abstain from comment on subjects with which I have had to deal officially.” WSPAP, R BEATS ROYALTY. Ex-King Milan’s Suit Against a Belgrade Journal Decided Agninst Him. BELGRADE, May 5.—Ex-King Milan, in consequenos of the eivil tribunal having ap- proved of King Alexander's proposal to make him regent during the tour of the young king abroad and relying upon the recent ukase fssued by King Al:xander, has prose- cuted the leading radical journal on the ground that it insulted him. The court of cassation, however, has decided in favor of the newspaper and has declared King Alex- ander's ukase to be illegal. The ukase referred to was issued on April 27 and annulled the measures which the former regents and the skuptschina had adopted against ex-King Milan and Queen Natalie, on the ground that they were un- constitutional and restored his parents to thelr constitutional rights as members of the royal house. MEUN IS ON TRIAL, Another Anarchist Called to Account for His Crimes in London. LONDON, May 5.—Charles Meunier, the French anarchist charged with complicity in the Cafe Avery explosion in Paris, was brought up at Bow Street police court today under extradition prodeedings. Sir John Bridge, the chlef thagistrate, declined to admit the prisoness defense that his crime was only political’ and declared that he would grant his-extradition to France, but he eventually allowed the prisoner a further remand in order that he might have the chance of producing evidence which his counsel claimed would prove an alibi, Meunier is sald to have been connected with the crimes of Ravachol, the anarchist who was guillotined in Paris. Another Great Disaster Impending. MONTREAL, Que., May 5.—A telegram from St. Albans says: A fresh disaster, still more calamitous tham that of last Fridgy evening, threatens the parish of St. Albans In the shape of a vast lake sald to be 150 feet deep, which has been created by the formation of a dike about the Paris church, It the dike gives way, as seems probable, the consequences will' be disastrous.

I0WA CITY, Ia, May 5.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—After a sultry day and with only thirty minutes' warning of a storm this afternoon, it began to rain, and a moment later to hail, and for twenty minutes a deluge of water fell and there was a continuous pelting of hailstones, some cight inches in circumference and the a age two inches in circumference. The scene was indescribabic. In almo:t a flash every pain of glass in the city that faced west and many that faced south, in- cluding most of the big plate glass win- dows, were smashed. Every ‘tin roof w perforated with holes, through which the flood poured, running down upon the stocks of goods. As nearly every business house in the city has a tin roof the damage aggre- gates $100,000 if not more. In the few minutes that the hall fell the excitenent in the city was intense. Hun- dreds of carriages and wagons stood on the street, this being the farmers’ and city peo- ple's Saturday for trading. When tha hail stones began to fall the horses broke loose and scores of vehicles were sent flying down the streets without drivers, and in nearly every case there was a smashup. The people, almost panic stricken, kept indoors, but so suddenly came the hail and flood that almost nothing could be done. Many per- sons got their teams unhitched from their carriages and wagons and housed them, but the vehicles left in the streets were cntirely riddled, the tops, cushions and seats de- stroyed and the bottoms of the vehicles broken through by the great chunks of ice. The buildings most injured are those of the State university, the west exposure of which was entirely riddled. As most of these buildings are covered with tin and the hail has made sefves out of every roof, the water has soaked all oyer them and their contents. Three of the largest university buildings are covered with slato and the:roofs are nearly ruined. Every church in the city has the west windows shattered and the water poured in and did great damage. The photo- graph galleries and their stocks were ruined The extensive green houses, with their col- lections of plants, are a total wreck. Most of the buildings are two stories high and the tin roofs cut Into holes allowed the tor- rents of water to pour through, and stocks of flour, dry goods and clothing are ruined. Soon after the hail ceased the water began again and is still coming down in a flood. Businessmen with windows open and roofs ruined can do nothing. The Hummer Mer- cantile company has already lost $6,000 worth of flour and groceries. The opera house windows are gone and the building flooded. Hundreds of store cellars are full of water. The hail covered the ground two inches decp, giving the city a wintry appearance. The fruit trees full of blossoms were stripped bare, and no hope is left for fruit. No such storm was ever before known in this part of Towa, and from reports it was confined to lowa City. It damaged the busines: blocks more than the residence portion: The lowest estimate that can be put on the damage at this time is over $100,000. SEVERE KANSAS HAIL STORM. Stones a Foot Long Fell and Many Cattle Were Killed. EMPORIA, Kan., May ‘The storm of last night was the worst of the season. The hail was so severe that in one place some went through a shutter, window pane and heavy curtain. Lots of them went through the roof, some of the chunks of ice measuring twelve inches in length. Some cattle were killed and most of the herds stampeded. The herd of David Nickel got on the railroad track, and, as it was storm- ing very hard, a stock train ran through the herd and killed several steers. All Kinds of crops are ruined. One man who was out in the storm has not been found yet. His name is Marshal Welsh. At Lebo, in the southern part of Osage county, the Baptist church and dwelling houses were blown down and a womgan named Mrs. Cochran badly hurt. Several stables and, granaries were blown down. There was not much hail, but every stone that fell was destructive. The windows of many dwellings were shattered, and the French plate glass and north fronts were broken. No serious damage was done to crops. The storm ranged from northwest to southeast, At Emporia, from here, the slight. At Malvern, which is only fifteen Osage county, the storm was very but did no considerable damage. At Comiskey there was a water spout, which badly damaged crops. At Council Grove and Burlington the rain and wind were heavy, but not much damage was done. O0SAGE CITY, Kan, May terife hail, rain and wind storm in the nature of a cyclone passed acruss the southern part of Osage county and along the Meradiches valley and to the north of Emporia last night, doing much damage to crops for three or four miles east of Reading. The crops are reported washed out and the fruit destroyed. The Santa Fe culverts are so badly injured that the work train has been ordered out and will be kept at work all day Sunday. Telegraph and crossing poles and tences are blown down for some mi es, At Barclay much damage has been done to telegraph and telephone wires. Houses were shaken and residents much frightened, but no destruction of preperty Is reported. OLIVET, Kan,, May 6.—The storm of last night was of a cyclonic character. The residence of W. H.

Y., May 5.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—At Watertown today the appeai of Lucius R. Wilson for a new trial upon the ground of mnewly dis- covered evidence was argued before Justice Williams. The motion was denied, and thus “Dink's” last chance is gone. He must die in the electrical chair at the Auburn state prison during the week beginnig May 13. J. D. Teller of Auburn made a strong plea for Wilson, and District Attorney Shove of Syracuso’ opposed, -Mry. Taller .openede.yith a short history of the case. He sald that the scant evidence that the Wilsons knew they were arrested by Detective Harvey for burglary was an important point. Mr. Teller read affidavits of sixteen persons, who claimed to see “Dink's” brother do the shooting, but was met by the assertion that the evidence was only cumulative. He then attempted to show that he had new evidence as well, but the court still held that evidence as to fdentity was cumulative, and did not care to listen to theories as to which way the ball went. District Attorney Shove insisted that the question of concerted action between “Dink’" and his brother Charles was settled, not only in the trial, but by the court of appeuls. The preponderance of evidence was that “Dink’ fired the shot and a secondary the- ory of the trial was concert of action. The witnesses for the people were all close by the scene of the murder, while the witnesses for Wilson had just looked up after hearing the shooting, with two exceptions, Mr. Shove presented a number of affidavits, Several gun experts swore that “Dink's” gun had been fired since it was cleaned. Three or four affidavits were by persons who had previously made affidavits in Wilson's behalf. They testified that they made state- ments under a misapprehension or intimida- dation, led on by Frank Wilson and a man named McNaughton, and they were not al- lowed to read the afidavits before signing them, Judge Teller endeavored to explain the afi- davits of the people, but Justice Williama interrupted him to say that he could not expect to get a new trial on one iota of new evidence and cumulative evidence on other points. Teller's argument was cut short by the court, who denied the motion. e LONG CHASE. "8 Locate a in Nebraska, May 5.—Local detectives today caused the arrest at Trenton, Neb., of Myron B. Kent, charged with embezzlemtne and forgery, alleged to have been com- mitted at Mandan, N. D. Kent searched for since March 14 last, npon which date his wife was shot and killed by a hired man in her employ under peculiar circum- stances. The servant who caused her death was a Polander named Swidenskl. He entered her bed room with a shotgun, say- ing that burglars in the ho's. and as she was dressing the gun was discharged, it'was claimed accidentally, and Mrs, Kent fell dead, She was formerly Miss Laird of Minneap- olis and was quite well known in society. For about six years, dating from a time shortly after her marriage, she had been separated from her husband, and the couple were only reunited in 1888 on his promise that he would abondon associates and habits which had caused their separation. The de- tectives assert Kent, who is an Englishman, about G5 years old, has another wife and that not long after his arrival in this coun- try he wrecked a bank in the east by ap- propriating the bulk of its funds, and th.t he is wanted in St. Louis, Mo., for forgery. They claim also to have information that on the day preceding the death of his wife he was in company with Swidenski, both being Intoxicated, and when they returned home they had a long conference together in a barn, AFTER Much - Hankers Oppose Silver, LONDON, May 6.—The Statist, in an ar ticle on the bimetallic conference, says it is an imposing demonstration, but points out that bimetallism fs impracticable, adding he banking community everywhere op poses any international agreement, which, moreover, would be a serious detriment to Great Britain."

K. Scott, Wi Making His Re all the Days hout a Title, Was atation for Personal and Professional Cussedness. ANAMOSA, Ia, May 4.—(Special to The Bee)—Outside of Omaha no other town in the country has taken a more lively interest than Anamosa in the judiclal circus which Ringmaster C. R. Scott has been running in Omaha for several weeks. Scott started his professional career in this thriving lit- tle city and although he has not lived here or visited the place for twenty years, his career here was such that his reputation survives him. There Is scarcely a man in the place who lived here during Scott's time but has a record of having had either rsonal encounter with the bellicose judge ving taken an active part in protecting some friend from an assault at Scott's hands. Your correspondent has talked with nearly every resident of this city who was here twenty-five years ago when Scott was in his glory. All of them remember Scott and, sad as it may seem, with one exception, no man has a good word for him. Most of the old time residents of the city have read of Scott's rulings in the recent contempt cases and were very willing to ex- press their opinion of the rulings and of the judge that made them. Here are some of the expressions: Editor Booth of the Eureka—It was a most unheard-of proceeding, but we who know Scott are not much surprised. He was a man when here absolutely without honor in the matter of paying his debts, quarrelsome and unreasonable. With such men on the bench what else can you expect. Editor Monger of the Journal--It is a sad commentary on the intelligence of the people of Omaha that a man like Scott could get on the bench where he could do anybody any harm. He is unutterably mean. He is a Dblusterer and still a moral and physical coward. He is incapable of treating with faltness . or..decency any man who has crossed htm-in any way. Sherift Babcock—The old bundle of dyna- mite has no business on the bench or in any position of authority or promifience. -~ He ought to be thrown in the river if it were not for the danger of killing the fish. He was mean enough twenty-five years ago and he seems to have got worse as he got older. T. W. Shepley, Cashier Niles & Wi ters’ Bank—The ruling in the Omaha con- tempt case was in keeping with Scott's char~ acter as we knew him twenty-five years ago. When he is angered he loses all reason and allows his prejudice to sway him entirely. H. C. Metcalf, Owner of Electric Light Plant—Scott's rulings on the bench are very much like some of his actions as a lawyer. He and 1 had a row once, but have since been on good terms, but I guess there are more people here that are not on good terms with him than otherwise. Scott is a good fellow at home, but has no control over his temper in his dealings with his fel- low men. Ezra Fisher, Retired Merchant—Scott can not possibly be unprejudiced. It s his nature to be partial and bitterly so. He is vindictive and abusive and has none of the qualities we look for in a fudge. I knew him well here. He was always in hot water, always fighting with somebody and was almost always in the wrong. H. Basterly, Proprietor of Basterly Hotel— I have known Scott for thirty years. He is a crank of the worst kind. He takes delight in the exercise of the most villainous tongue that was ever fastened in a man's head. He cannot be fair and impartial, it is not his nature. I have heard him abuse witnesses in the court room until the Judge would have to call him to order. He would abuse good men by the hour when he got them on the witness stand and with- out any purpose other than to let his tongue run and work off some of the spleen that seemed to be chronic with him, It was a case of fight every time he got Into a case. He was always fighting with his friends and was mixed up in some of the worst street brawls we ever had In the town. It has been a source of wonder to a great many of us here to know how he ever got on the bench In Omaha. They must be in a bad way out there for judicial timber or else Scott got In when the bars were down. Colonel Shaw, Banker—Scott and I had many a war of words and I am not sure but what we were at it with our fists a few times. No man could get along with him. He would attack his best friend without cause and support his enemies without rea= son, He could not be trusted in a business or political way as far as you could see him. The country is getting in a bad way when they get to making judges out of C, R. Scott's brand of men. He could not be elected scavenger in this place or could not when he left here. J. P. Scroggs, Capitalist—I have known Scott for a generation. He Is the. most wholly and unqualifiedly mean cuss that I ever knew. He made himgelf obnoxious to everybody in the county and did not have a friend to call his own when he left. I know something about his personal squab- bles. I had a tussle with him mysel and held him once when he was trying to shoot another man. He s wholly devold of prin- ciple and could not be honest if he. tried. I can't see how you could expect any dif ferent actions from him on the bench. E. C. Holt—Personally I never had any trouble with ©. R. Scott. I have known him since he came to Anamosa. I did work for him, built his house for him here and never had any trouble whatever with hirm, but I guess I am the exception to the rule. I know of his fights and personal encoutis ters with various people. They were alf the result of S:.tt's inabllity to contrey his temper. ke s like an Insane man when he lost his tZaper and came near coms mitting murder lere several Umes wWhes
