POTSDAM, 16.—The disciplinary court today tricd the case of ex-Chancellor Leist, forme:ly the German administrator of the Camaroons district of West Africa, who was recalled owing to the charges of brutality brought against him. The public prosecu tor accused Leist of abusing the powers vested in him, and thus causing a revolt of the native troops, resulting in a number of outrages, and with causing injury to the im- perial prestige by immorality. The court acquitted Leist on the charge of causing a mutiny of the native troops, but he was convicted of abusing his authority, and of immorality. Consequently he was condemned to be transferrred to a minor post. In addition, the court sentenced Leist to have his salary reduced one-fifth, The charges brought against ex-Chancellor Leist were of the most startiing description, and attracted -wide attention in March and April last. For instance, a weekly news- paper of Berlin on April 11 published ex- tracts from the diary of a German resident of the Camcroons, among them statements tending to show that Herr Wehlan, the gov- ernor'’s substitute who led an expedition against the natives, lssued an order to his sybordinates directing them to cut the throats of all the old women who fell into thelr hands. The other natives, who were unfortunate enough to be captured were con- veyed on shipboard where they were bound to the rail of the vessel, the thongs which held them being drawn so tight that in many instances when the flesh began to swell they cut deep Into the legs and arms of the prisoners, who were entirely unpro- tected from the weather, and exposed to the tropical heat with their wounds festering and breeding maggots: The frantic appeals of the prisoners for water were brutally 1efused, and when the captives were half dead they were shot down like wild beasts, Lelst was charged with flogging native women, which act led to the mutiny of the native troops, during which the latier broke into the gov- ernment house and shot down a judge, whom they mistook for the assistant governor, For this about twenty-five of the rebels wepe afterward hung. Herr Lelst was recalled In April last, with A summons from the government ordering him to surrender himself to the authorities n Berlin and prepare to defend the accusa- tons made against him. Leist denied that the flogging of women was the immedlate sause of the mutiny of the native troops. He admitted the truthfulness of the charges >f immorality as regards native women, and sald that he had made the latter perform thelr native dances before him. The public prosecutor, who went to the Cameroons to inquire inlo the affair, addressing the court, said Leist had set all morality at defiance. LONDON, Oct. 16.—A Berlin dispateh to the Times says the extraordinary judgment in the Leist case, which yirtually admits Lelst was justified in flogging women, may be good law, but it certainly will not be sndorsed by ‘public opinion. A dispatch to the Post from Berlin says the result of the trial will be recelved througlout the empire with a storm of bitter indignation and angry derision. It will strengthen the soclalists' cause CALLED TO DISCUSS THE WAR Extra Sesslon of the J Convened t YOKOHAMA, Oct. 16.—Count Inuye, min- Ister of the interior, has left for Corea.

Foster, who h; just returned from a trip around the world, addressed the Presbyterians of Washington on the extent to which Christianity was pushing its. way into China, Japan, India, Palestine, Syria Eqypt, Ceylon, Burmah’ and the Malay peninsula. He spoke of the menace China would be to the world with its 400,000,000 people trained to the arts of modern fare and possessed of the resources of western ecience, if once inspired with a hatred of Christianity. It was, however, the Judg- ment of all who traveled around the globe that Christianity would follow in the wake of commerce, steam and electricity, Of Japan, Mr. Foster sald its marvelous advance in civilization had mot kept pace with the advance in Christianity, AMERICANS ARE SAFE IN PEKING, Chinese Government Amply Able to Control Any Lawless Outbreaks WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Officials of the Chinese legation say Americans residing in China will be given ample protection as long a8 the war exists. The legation shares the feeling expressed in recent cables from Pe- king that foreigners have nothing to fear from outbreaks of vatives. The newspapers and private advices received at the legation make no mention of the extrems disorder and panle at Peking which the cables re- ported, and the officials think these reports were unwarranted and came through preju- diced channels, It Is pointed out that rowdy outbreaks are likely to ocour in war times, But It is stated with positiveoess that the War- | caly and twelve soclalists elected to the same | | the south front of the mew theater, opposite which stands the statue erected in honor of | Emperor Willam 1, the present emperor's grandfather.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—(Special Tele- gram.)—~Without realizing that he was di- vulging an important secret, an eminent of- ficial of the Postoffice department stated that no appointment of & postmaster for Omaha will be made for two or three wecks. This statement is a confirmation of the suspicion that has for some time existed that before his departure on a junketing tour through Burope J. Sterling Morton had it ar- ranged that no postmaster for Omaha should be appointed until after the November elec- tions, in order to accomplish the double pur- pose of keeping the varlous candidates and their friends in the democratic line and pre- vent the heart-burnings which would natur- ally result from the disappointment of those who aspire, but really have no chance of preferment. 1t is barely possible that v | orous telegraphic demands from Omaha for the settlement of this overdue case may re- sult In earlier executive action, but it is not at all probable that the appointment will be made untll after the election. BAYARD LKS POLITICS, Came Home from Englund 1o Try and save Delaware for Democracy, WILMINGTON, Del,, Oct. 16.—All Del- aware turned out tonight to formally wel- come Ambassador Thomas F. Bayard back to his state and city, after an absence of eigh- teen months as the representative of his government to the court of St. James. It was a great demonstration, and those who attended were limited only by the capacity of the opera house in which the ceremonies were held. Deafening applauze greeted Am- bassador Bayard as he was conducted upon the stage, and he was visibly affected by the affectionate greeting. Semator Gray arose d on behalf of the vast audience welcomed the honored guest of the evening in these words: Mr. Bayard: duty " at the It is my pleasing and grate- uest of the democratic feties and citizens of Wilmington to give vice Lo the welcome, we, one and all, earn- estly and cordially 'bring to you tonight, This overflowing and spontancous demon stration was not necessary to tell you of the warmth and depth of our affection, We have known you too long and too well for that.

That influence dictated the defeat of Keckley, but now demands that thelr servant be elected governor, and their loan agent have the second place. fess by their use of threats that de them in the face. T! confess that b They con- y they e no defense to make against the charges made by Rosewater or they would have had him arrested years ago. If what Rosewater says is not true the law Tom Majors helped to pass would put Rosewater in the peni- tentiary. The only thing they do to counter- act the charges is to instruct the boys to fill up the halls wherever the editor of The Bee speaks and howl for Majors. Should a gang of Holcomb men treat a Majors spealer | and meetng in like manner what a rage they would be in. The city of York was supposed to have more self-respect, and in fact has. They did not know how the country would look upon such ruffianism. York is not to blame for it, nor are the majority of those who wore bidges and hooted. They only forget where they were, and many have expressed.regret. for. the, part they Look in making York appear fo be a southern, backwoods village of ruffians and bums.” But that s the only an- swer they see fit to make to the charges the speaker makes against Majors. They want Rosy, as they call him, in the pen. It he Is telling falsehoods they can now put him there. If they frighten us by threatening to make us all paupers if we elect Holcomb, what will they hold over us the next time? If they have it in their power to make braska starve it it does not elect whom they dictate; if they mow have that power over us, and we are in such a condition that they can use that power, what becomes of the talk about thirty years of prosperity these me | fellows say they gave us? gentle peo- | ple, they have wind on their stomachs, effects | of the Majors pill, and they are belchin up the ga Nebraska people are not the cowards the gang take them fo be, and the election will declare that we are fre A REPUBLICAN.
