Knee 1594 by the Associated Prews.) May 19.—The affair of Robert the American trotting hor owner, who Is accused of fraudulent pr tices on the turf, has assumed u ® phase. His friends are fetching from Sco Jland a man named Dawson, an American trainer, who, in a great number of the American races, ran against Kneebs' horses, Dawson, it is said, will testify that Nellle Kneebs is indeed the name of the mare and is not the mare Bethel, as claimed by the opponents of Kneebs. Should this turn out to be the case Kneebs may be released from jail. Another point in favor of Kuecbs is the fact that the chief witness against hbm, an American named Heffner, was well known in the western part of the United States, and who accompanied the prisoner here as his partner in the trotting business, has suddenly disappeared from the eity without leaving auy trace of where- abouts, Pinally, Dr. answer (o a his Hall of Wakefield, in cable message sent to the United States, replied that Bethel Is now on a farm in Minnesota, and came here from America in order to swear out a war- rant for Heffner’s arrest on the charge of embezzling the proceeds of the sale of Dr. Hall's horses. Hall, it Is understood, will alo furnish the court with better proof than that obtainable up to the present in regard to the identity of the two mares The trial of Kneebs is liable to be pro- tracted and expensive, owing to the length of the time required to get the necessary proofs of the identity of the two horses from the United States. Mr. Kneebs upon his arrival here had letters of introduction to members of the United States embassy, but so far he las not invoked the assistance of the United States officials in order to obtain his libera- tlon or in order to secure legal advice and support. LAMPOONING A JUDGE. No definite action has as yet been taken 1n regard to the scandal in which the name of Judge Braussewetter has been connected as a result of the trial and condemnation of the editors who criticised the police upon the occasion of the dispersal of the crowds who assembled outside the Friedrichshain brewery in January last. In this connection a smart radical journal recently printed an amusing caricature of the now celebrated press trial, holding the judge up to ridicuie under the caption of ‘“Judge Brause Pulver von Seidlitz Powder." A meeting of men-of-letters and journal- ists took place on Thursday with the ob- Ject of taking the conduct of Judge Brausse- wetter under consideraion and deciding on the best means to secure, if possible, his removal. After the matter had been dis- cussed the gentlemen who attended the meeting drew up and forwarded to the minister of Justice and to the Diet a strong protest against the judge’s conduct. o It begins to appear, however, that no no- tice will be taken of the affalr in official quarters and it would almost seem as If the emperor, who is the real controller of the police, approves of their conduct, for Cap- tain Felst, who had charge of the police foroe which was engaged in quelling the al- leged disturbance which gave rise to the trial, together with some of his officers, have already been promoted. The remains of the late United States consul general, Mr. Willlam Hayden REd- wards, were buried this afternoon in the old cemetery at Potsdam in the presence of a number of friends and relatives. Among those present was Dr. Rosing, formerly Ger- man consul at New York, who represented the German government. Also present at the funeral were the secretary of the United States embassy, Mr. Chapman Coleman, the assistant secretary, the staff of the emba and many of the United States consuls f the North German districts. The mour: included the widow of the deceased. Rey Ranke, son of the renowned historian, per- formed the funeral rites. The widow will not go to the United States, but will remain here for the present at the residence which her late husband rented at Potsdam for the ummer. “George H. Murphy, the United States vice consul at Luxembourg, the de- ceased's brother-in-law, is doing the work of the United States consulate while the place of Mr. Edwards is nominaily taken by Dr. Abbot, with the honorary title of vice consul. OPPOSE THE JESUIT'S RETURN. The king of Wurtemburg, Willlam 11, has caused a sensation in many circles by coming out with an open declaration against the policy of re-admitting the members of the Boclely of Jesus into Germany. In recelving deputations from the various synods the king expressed the opinion the Bundesrath could not confirm the repeal of the anti-Jesuit law. “This,”" he sald, “Is not only my personal attitude, but it Is that of my government toward the question,' The ultramontane Journal-Germania char- acterizes this statement as heing “incredible and monstrous.” The Hamburger Nachrichten, noting the rarity of a sovereign expressing himselt so dectdedly, says that it takes it for granted the king was accurately fnformed before com- mitting himself, It may be added that it is well known the lnhabitants of the duchy of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha are opposed to the repeal of the anti- Uesult luw, and it 1s believed that Prussia’s gpinion remains the samo as when Chan- eollor von Caprivi, as premier of Prussia, Weclared the return of the Jesuits was an tmpossibllity.

Among the papers of Dr. Spitta, the fa- blographer® of Bach, the composer, was found an important history of the ro- mantic opera. The work, it appears, was completed after several years of work, only a week before the death of Dr. Spitta. The dismissal of 800 men who absented themselves from work on May day led the social democrats to boycott several large Berlin breweries. The socialists held nine meelings today to discuss the matter, and are said to have scrupulously maintained the hoycott and to have insisted on the recognition of the existing Brewery Work- men's union, the payment of indemnity to the dismissed men, and their reinstatement. They also asked the granting of May day as a day of rest. So far the boycott Is prac tically inefigctive, as the nonboycotted brew eries have combined with the boycotied and refuse to supply any beer house which has stopped taking beer from the boycotted breweries. mous RELIGIOUS DISPLAYS PROHIBITED. State Department Upholds Municipal Authorities In the Contes PARIS, May 19.—For some time past a dispute has existed and caused much bad feeling between the priests of St. Denls and the mayor of that town. St. Denis is situated about five miles from Paris and is chiefly celebrated for the fact that it was (he principal burial place of the Kings of France. The church of St. Denis is a most attractive structure and its priests have for ages been held in high esteem and lave been the object of much venera- tion upon the part of the populace. The mayor recently took objection to the elab- srate display made by the y 5 Denis in the funeral processions which ompanied the remains of distinguished persons to the tomb. The mayor was par- ticularly opposed to the great display of religious emblems, such as statues of the saints, banners and relic holders, which were featurcs of the largest processions, The mayor ‘warned the priests that this Qisplay must cease. The priests in reply claimed that they were not violuting any law or municipal regulation and the dis- play of emblems was continued. The mayor appealed to the government and the council of state was called upon to decide the dispute. A decision was rendered today, the department of state holding that funeral processions in which religious en blems are displayed may be prohibited by the mayor if the latter is of the opinion that such a display is likely to cause public disturbance.

M. Calewayert added that the British miners were the best paid and the best organized of all the miners of Europe, and expres:ed the opinion that the dissension was due to the use of so many different languages in the congress, The British delegates replied in friendly terms, saying that they were convinced that the labors of the present congres: will be beneficial to all. Benjamin Pickard, a member of the British House of Com- mons, was re-elected general secretary of the international organization, and Thomas Burt, also a member of the British Parlia- ment, was elected treasurer. The international committee unanimously fixed upon Paris as the city where the next international congress is to take place. The collapse of the conference yesterday was brought about by the jealousy of the miners of other countries at the strength displayed by the British. Mr. Aspinwall had made a motion favoring legal prohibi- tion of unskilled labor in the pits, with a view to preventing overproduction. The continental delegates bitterly opposed this, but it was carried by the solid vote of the British, and the acrimonious feeling which was thus engendered resulted in the with- drawal of all the English representatives and the break-up of the entire congress. WHAT THE RE DOING. BERLIN, May ain the dele- tions by Pennsylvania Operators to Start—-Arming Deputies. PITTSBURG, May 19.—The authorities of Alleghany county are preparing for trouble in the mining strike. Since the return of the operators from Cleveland a sentiment has been crystalliizing in favor of an attempt to break the strike. The breach between the operators in favor of a settlement and those opposed to it is being rapidly closel up and it Is probable that within the next few days a decision will be arrived at to start, Sheriff Richardson has purchased sixty repeating shotguns and has stored away about 500 revolyers with plenty of ammuni- tion for both. Arrangements have also been made whereby 200 or 300 men who are will- ing o ferve as deputies in an emergency can be had at short notice. These prepara- tions have been on the quiet. DENVER, May 19.—Coal Mine Inspector Reed predicts serious trouble at Sopris, near Trinidad, where, he says, the Colorado Fuel and Tron company is maintaining sixty- three deputy sheriffs to protect its property against 350 half-starved strikers. These miners yet received their January pay and are in a very ugly humor. FLORENCE, Colo., May 19.—Six hundred striking miners who assembled here last night with the intention of seizing a train to take them to Rouse and Walsenberg, where miners mass meetings are to be held tomorrow for the purpoe of Influencing all miners who are still working to strike, were folled by the precautions taken by the Den- ver & Rio Grande Railroad company, and at 2:30 a. m. today started for the place of meeting on foot. DANVILLE, 1, May 19.--One hundred and fifty striking miners from this city, Glenburg and Grape Creek started on foot today for Mission Fields, a mining camp of the Consolidated company eight miles west, to compel the twenty-five miners who are working there to quit. They say they will use force if necessary. The superintendent here has appealed for protection to the sheriff, who refuses to interfere unless the makes afidavits.

(Copyrighted 184 Dy} the Associated Press.) LONDON, May 19.—Some idea of the keen- ness existing among the theatrical managers of London may be gathered from the fact that Miss Loie Fuller, the American skirt dancer, Is appearing nightly in three houses —the Trafalgar, the Strand and Terry's—in different dances and, with great success at each establishment. , The theaters have been compelled to adppt the music hall sys- tem on account of the fact that theater managers are forced to furnish extra at- tractions in addition to their regular bill of fare, if they enter into active competition for the socalled popular business The Court theater opened Thursday with Clement Scott’s one-act sketch, “Cape Mal and with Thomas & Keeling's “Marriage."” The latter scored a capital reception.

On the conclusion of this tour he will visit the English proyinces and will afterwards return to the United States. Whether regarded as, a play or merely as a medium for the display of Corbett's box- ing, “Gentleman Jack”, fell far short of the London standard, Corbett declares that he and not the author is to be blamed for this. “I am only a Beginner in acting," he say “and when we were rehearsing the play, it there was any scene I did not feel capable of tackling, 1 had it cut bodily out, which was rather hard on the author.” The *Yellow Curtain has, after all, been chosen for the new title of the new play by Henry Hoyt, which is to be produced by Miss Olga Brandon at a Prince of Wales matinee next Tuesday.

PLACING OF LIFEBOATS CONDEMNED Had the Jackson Park Crew Been at Their Old Location Other Lives Might Suved—Moving Back Now. CHICAGO, May 19.—~Thousands of specta- tors watched from the lake shore today the destruction of craft that had been beached during the storm of yesterday and last night. At Twenty-seventh street the Mec- Laren is being pounded to pieces fifty yards from the shore, and her destruction will be complete before the surf quiets. The bod: of Joseph Stelan, mate, remained on the wreck. He was Killed yesterday on the vessel by falling spars. Three wrecks were rolling in the breakers at Twenty-fifth street. The Thompson stood the strain fairly well and will not be broken to pieces by the waves. Nothing but the bow of the Evening Star remained after the heavy sea of the night. A few feet away the shattered hulk of the Mer- cury was rapidly being broken to pieces and was a total loss, Half a mile from shore, off Twenty-second street, two vessels were laboring in tho sea. One was thought to be the D. 8. Austin, commanded by Captain Cassidy and manned by a crew of six. Four men could be seen in the rigging. The vessel was apparently in little danger of destruction. About 200 yards farther another and smaller schooner, the Morning Star, was riding out the storm. Her condition appeared worse, and the in- dications were that she was waterlogged. The twenty-seven men on the north crib who were unable to reach land last night, hauled down their distress signal today and signalled that they were all right. The men at the other cribs telephoned that they were safe. The schooner Goodwin, ported to have gone asnore at Sixteenth street today, succeeded in clearing the beach, and is riding safely at anchor. When reached by the life savers the crew refused to go ashore, asserting that all danger was' past. The schgoner C, M. Mixer, with a cargo of cedar ties, was driven past:Chicago and went on the beach at One Hundredth street. At 3 a. m. today a three-masted schooner went ashore at Thirteenth street and began breaking up. She was supposed to be the Goodman, a three-and-aft lumber schooner, and had seven men on board. The life sav- ing crew was rotified and at daylight hegan efforts to rescue the crew. Dispatclies from many points in this sec- ton show great damage done. Along the lake shore, beth in Wisconsin and Michi- gan, the storm was one of unprecedented severity. It is feared many serious ship- ping disasters are yet unreported. Michi- gan City, Ind., reports two schooners driven ashore; crews rescued. Green Bay, Wis., reports the barge Edward 8. Ticee driven ashore; crew safe Several points in lowa report a severe cold wave and serious damage to crops. At Mowaqui, Ill, the mercury dropped 50 degrees in twenty-four hours, and farmers fear much damage to crops. At Springfleld and other points in the central division of the state a similar condition is reported. At La Porte, Ind., a cyclone near Kings- bury did much damage and killed Henry Sprigel. Two bodies were recovered from -the lake this afternoon near Fifty-fifth street. Both were evidently those of sailors and one was identified by papers as B. Thompson. The locating of the life saving crew at Jackson park was severely criticized by ves- sel men today and it was asserted that had the crew been at the mouth of the river the loss of life yesterday would have been avolded. The crew was sent to Jackson park during the World's fair and since then has never been returned to its quarters near the center of the harbor, but yesterday's fatalities will probably result in an immedi- ate change. One result of the storm was the destruction of the old cottonwood tree which stood on Eighteenth street and in the shade of wh the terrible Fort Dearborn massacre was perpetrated by the Indians August 15, 1812, which was re- RESCUE PARTY LOST, Five Went Out to Save a Crew and Only One Got Back Alive. PORT HURON, Mich, May 19.-The schooner Willlam Shupe drifted helplessly all night and finally grounded on the beach about cight miles north of the city. The tug Thompson has made three unsuccessful at- tempts to reach the wreck and rescue the sailors. She is now out with yawl boats and will endeavor to get a line to the schooner and take the unfortunate men in that way. The Sand beach life saving crew has been sent for and Is now on the way here on a special train. The Shupe is waterlogged and her sails blown away. The wind blew a gale all night and still continues. The tug, C. D. Thompson left here at 9 o'clock with a rescuing party and a yawl in an attempt to reach the schooner Shupe. They found the Shupe on a pand reef six miles north of here and about a quarter mile from shore. The yawl left the tug and finally reached the wreck. The painter from the yawl was taken the crew aboard the Shupe when the yawl capsized, throwing the whole party into the water There were five of them, and all were drowned except Dan Lynn, who swam ashore and was taken out of the water nearly exhausted.

CONDUCTOR NICHOLAS HILL, There were no fujuries not fatal except a few minor scratehes. The wreck was bes tween extra freight No. 62, westbound, and the bridge train, under Conductor Hill, Hi Was out with his train and expected to take the siding just east of the tunnel. He sent a flagman alead and was backing up with @ boarding car in front. He had followed the flagman too closely, and just as he en- tered the ngineer Jones, with the extra fro hed the other end while running thivty miles an hour. He and his fireman saw the danger in time to jump. The engine crashed into the boarding car, in Which were the six doomed men. The car was smashed into splinters and the engine ploved across the track, choking up the tunnel with debris, Eleven flat and box cars were piled to- gether in the rear, making access to the wreck almost impossible. Only one man's voice could be heard—that of John Condrey— calling in the most pitiful manner for help. None could reach him and a short time afters wards his eries were stilled. Drs. Miller and McNary went to the wreek from this place on a speclal train, A wrecking train was put to work at both endé* and tonight the bodies were reached, with the exception of that of Condrey. They were brought here and prepared for ship- ment to their homes, A singular gircunistance. noted is that all of the men had their heads crushed, and with two exceptions were almost uninjured in any other ‘way, The survivors of the bridee train say the flagman sent out by Condustor T had ample time to get to & designaied point, and in fact should have been there half an hour before the arrival of (he extra freight, of the coming of which none of them knew. The flagman denfes this and says Hil followed him before he had fime to get out of (he tunnel, and he was in it when the freight came. All the passenger, mail and express trains Wave had to transfer over the hill at the tunncl. Freight traffic was suspended until miduight. . POLICE RAID GAMBLERS. But All Save Two Escaped In Thne Through n Mysterlous Door. orge Elliott and Ellsworth Clark were sted last night and charged with getting up and maintaining gaming devices. A of duys ago the police were in- formed that the room over Billy Thompson! saloon, in the alley In the rear of the Pax- ton block, were being used for gambling purposes. They were ostensibly wine rooms, Last night Detectives Haze, Dunn, Dona- hue. Savage and Dempsey were detailed, and a raid was decided upon. The proper papers were secured by Chief Haze, and at a certain hour the raid wi to be made. The affair was in charge of Detective Haze, and he made all the plans for the rald. The saloon over which the rooms were supposed to be has an entrance on to the alley, one door leading from the saloon proper and anotlier which is the terminus of a stairway leading to the rooms. There is another door, however, onc which had not heen caleulated upon, and as a matter of course ft was the most important of all. Just where the door is no one knows, but it i supposed to open in some mysterions way a clear p s to Douglas street on the north. Plans for the intended raid being laid ah the detectives named above, und:r the cap- tion of Heze, started out, Straight to the saloon they went and Chief Haze went te the door and said he wanted to go up stairs, Of course the usual tions wire asked concerning the authority of the man spoke. He shortly demonstrated this and was told o go upstairs and welcom All the doors that were known to the detective were securely guarded, and Detective Haze went to the door that was supposed to lead to the rooms. A knock brought no response, but a second did. The door was opencd and the police then arested the two men, Clark and Elliot. The patrol wagon was called and a few gaming devices, such as tables, chips and wheels, were taken to the station, These men say they are not the proprie- tors of the gambling room, but that the proprietors among those who escaped by the mysterious door. A few questions were asked - about the money, there belng none in sight, and it was learned this had disappeared by the mysterious door. Jack Edgarson, recently from Stoux City, but who came up from South Omaha last night, was in the rooms, but he left by the mysterious door, und said he, with twen. * others who had been there, stood around on Sixteenth street and watched the police load on the stuff who one were - American Bishop.
