. OMAHA, MONDAY A [ORNING, OCTOBER INGLE COPY FIVE CE HOW FARMERS FEEL Letters from the Honest Yeomen of the An- telope State on Majors, HUNDREDS ENDORSE THE BEE'S CCURSE Republicans Who Oannot SBupport the Con- tingent Oandidate for Governor. | TIME TO THROW OFF THE YOKE AT HAND Ring Rule Has Run Its Course and Must Be Rebuked Right Now. BUSY BU.LD:ZING THE RAILROAD MEN Freight House Employes Instructed Person- Wiy that They Must Vote for Majors— Others Getting Similar Orders Mintster's Remarks Misqaoted. The most significant feature of the eam- balgn now drawing to a close is the defec- | tion of the republican voters from the head | 80d am convinced that we must put down of the ticket. In spite of the assertions of | the managers of the Majors campaign to the contrary, the defection s so serious that it Is likely to become a stampede before the day of dlection. Thousands of staunch re- publicans in Nebraska have risen in revolt against the attempt of the corperations to| folst a corruptionist upon the state. The re-| volt is not confined to any particular local- ity. It Is as strong south of the Platte river as north of it. It is as pronounced in the eastern part of the state as in the far western and , northwestern countles, It stronger anywhere than in other places, it 5 the most formidable in those counties which have the longest been subject to cor- porate domination. Wherever the railroad corporations have in past years been most active in their efforts to thwart the will of the people, there the protest against Tom Majors is the strongest, and many counties which have heretofore been looked upon as republican strongholds will this year give pluralities to the opponent of the republican candidate for governor, Two weeks ago The Bee addressed a cir- cular letter to several hundred republican subscribers to its weekly edition, requesting them to state whether the course taken by this paper in the present campaign met with their approval. The replies to these letters are a very fair Index to the feeling among republican farmers. Of the letters so far re- ceived and tabulated, between 40 and 45 per cent of thegwriters declare that they are in full accord with the position of The Bee and that they will not vote for Tom Majors. These figures are suggestive. They repre- sent the sentiments of thousands of republi- can voters who will not permit the fran- ¢hised corporations to Whip them into line in support of an olnoxious candidate. They prove that a large percentage of the republi- can voters of Nebraska propose to rebuke corporate Interference in the management of the party. The B. & M. Journal has printed four or five replies sent to The Bee in answer to the circular letter. It will hardly care to print the replies of the hundreds of men who re- fuse to vote for the dishonest candidate for governor. Following will be found brief excerpts from some of the letters. These brief extracts tell the story of republican indignation at the effort of the Burlington ezar to folst one of his henchmen upon the state as its governor. In each case the name of the town from which the letter is received 18 given. The names of the writers are with- held for the reason that The Bee assured them that their replies would be treated as confidential. The originals are all on file in ce: o this OMCEE CLY ONE OPINION. Ihoun—I am a republican; am in favor of HHojeomb for governor, but not for Majors Calhoun—1 will say that you have my ap- proval in regard to the course which The Bee has taken in the present campaign, and as for Judge Holcomb, myself and many re- publicans in this locality expect to support him at the coming election, Brownville—I approve of your course in supporting Judge Holcomb. Slelia-The course of The Bee in regard to Tom Majors is heartily endorsed by the ma- Jority of the people in this place regardless litics. O PoNohT (hink that the coufse pursued The Bee is all Tight. brnunhu-—'l‘hv course of The Bee in the present_campatgn, especially (n reference to Judge Holcomb, is to me quite satisfactory. Other republican voters with whom I have had the opportunity to speak upon this mat- ter have expressed their approval of the po- sition you have taken in support of Judge Holcomb and are in accord with the position of The Bee toward Majors, Gibbon—I am a Holcomb man, and have been from the beginning, and I only hope that, regardless of politics, he will be our next governor. Qarlo—The course of The Bee meets my hearticst approval and more especlally do T honor your position in regard to Judge Hol- comb in the support you are giving him for governor. There is nothing I admire more than honesty In political matters—nothing 1 detest more than the party bondage that jgnores principles. Permit me to add (with- out a wish or thought of selfishness) that your recent stand has given you, not only & higher place fn my estimation, but a very exalted one; and my sincere wish s that the obdect at which you aim may be accom- ~plished, and for which I shall use my HNitle fnfluence and cast my vote. Go on, my dear sir, and may your {nfuence do much. May it be the means of aving the fame of Ne- braska from belng stained by the election of such a man as Thomas J, Majors for gov- ernor. Calhoun—Your stand meets my hearty ap- proval in regard to thosé two men, Harvard—-[ am satisfled, with The Bee; and | but for the course of The Bee bringing to! light the dishonest doings of Majors I would | undoubtedly have supported him, but, as it fr,g'y duty to support an Lonest man for goy- eior, 1 shall throw my fufluence and support to Holcomb, These are also my brother's sentiments, Wayne—I heartily endorse your position in | the present campaign and your support of Judge Holcomb and your policy toward Majors. ‘There are no other republicans in my Tlousehold except my wife, whom The Bee has converted to Holcomb. Many slanch republicans here will vote for Judge Holeomb. Wayne—Any man that will kil a bill like the maximum freight bill, as I under- tand Tom Majors did, will lose my vote aid niy support. I am for Holcomb, Cortland—-1 am heartily in favor of the course The Bee is taking in fearlessly ex- posing politicals tricksters. I like The Bee on that account, and take it for that purpose. We, as a people, are greatly Indebted to you for ‘standing for honesty and for fearlessly exposing the dishongsty of our lawmakers. A a republican, 1 and my two sons, will Bupport s near as we know how the most honest man for governor. 1 like pure rell- glon and pure polities, Raymond—1 fully approve your course in supporting Judge Holcomb for governor. I think him the betier man of the two and I will scratch Tattooed om. Wayne—L will say that.’ ex & republican, | 1 am very much pleased and that as an ol republican and one of the old soldier boys I would Itke to shake hands with you In favor of Holcomb. Opilnlon Ia that you are on the right course and I hope that Majors will not be elected. 1 have talked with a num- ber of my nelghbors and they are of my opinion. CONSIDERS TOM A FRAUD. Nelson—I fully endorse your position re- | garding Tom Majors. Having lived in | the v.cinity of Peru from 1870 to 1580 1 have always consdered him a first-class fraud. Subsequent events have proved the correct- ness of my views. With a record of twenty- five years open to all who wish to inquire, it 18 a mystery to me how any honest man can support him in his candidacy for governor. Stella—1 think the position you have taken in support of Judge Hoicomb is all right and I shall vote for him. 1 think several re- publicans here will vote for Holeomb. 1 lived by the Holcombs for one year and they are all good boys. s Humboldt—I approve of the policy you ad- vocate. We want good government and Hol- comb Is the man for governor. Savage—The course of The Bee in the present campalgn recelves my approval and 1 have heard other republicans in ths vicinity express their opinions in the same way. Meadow Grove—Your course in regard to | Holcomb Is all right. There are three other | republicans in my household that vote the republican ticket and approve The Bee. Madison—I am perfectly satisfied with the stand you have taken. I know of lots of re- publicans who will vote for Holcomb. Your paper is doing valuable work for Eolcomb. Madison—Your support of Judge Holcomb | meets my hearty approval. Wileox—I like your fight on Majors. Wayne—I will vote for Holcomb, although 1 have always heretofore voted the republi- can ticket. 1 have spoken to several republi- cans, who say they will also vote for Hol- comb. [ have read your paper with interest poration rule at all hazards, Amherst—L am in favor of Judge Holcomb and fo is the majority in this party of the county. Doniphan—I think your course in The Bee is right. Iam a republican who believes that he can vote against a bad man and still be a republican. 1 am a farmer, and I could | vote for Majors better if his friends would not call him a farmer, which we know is done to catch votes. A man who has run for office twenty years is not just the kind of a farmer that I like to vote for. ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE EXTORTION. Madison—I honor your fearless denuncia- tion of the republican nominee for governor. All that I have gleaned from the papers for years would lead me to believe that Majors is an unscrupulous railroad tool and I never took The Bee until the present year. I ad- mire your endorsement of Holcomb, a maa of the people, even if he is the nominee of another party. Let me say right here that in conversation the other day with an Towa man, who is at present shipping over Ne- braska roads, he told me that the rate from Stanton to Norfolk, a distance of twelve miles, {8 a8 great as from his home in lowa to Burlington, a distance of 196 miles, 1f Towa roads can haul at a profit at such rates —and they certainly do or they would quit the business—why, in the name of justice, cannot we have some relicf from railroad extortion. We never can have it 5o long as we will meekly walk up to the polls and vote for & man whom we know to be branded with perfidy, simply because he has been foisted upon the party by rallroad bosses. The [owa man referred to said that he did not see how the people in Nebraska could make a living when they paid such a heavy shipping tax. Madison—Your position in Judge Holcomb meets with every respect, Madison—The position you support of Judge Holcomb meets my ap- proval. This is a democratic community, but all are in favor of Holcomb for goy. ernor, Amberst—Your policy in support of my approval in have taken in opposing Majors and _supporting Judge Holcomb meets my heartiest approval. I am a republican, but «lll not vote for any one who I have rea- son to believe owes his nomination to rail- road influences, Donlphan—The position you take with re- gard to Majors is in accord with all (or nearly all) of the farmers in this nefghbor- hood. Herman—I have been a republican ever since there was a republican party. 1 have voted no other ticket since Lincoln was first elected; but I fully endorse the course of The Bec fn refergnce to Judge Holcomb for governor. 1 have talked with a great many old republicans in this county, who say that hey will not vote for Tom Majors. The cornfields are full of just such republicans @ibbon—I heartily approve of your stand for Holcomb. Vote for the principle of the man, not the party; I say d—n the pops, but Holcomb is all right, and there are two of us in this family that will vota for him. NoT ONE IN FORTY-FIVE. Wayne—Your course s right and meets with ‘my approval. On_October 9 we held our township caucus. There were forty-five republican voters present and 1 wanted to find five stralght republican names to send to the state central committee, So I asked them all, but found no one who would say that he would vote the whole republican ticket. Of course, this is a farming town- ship. Of the forty-five republicans not more than six are Bee readers, so, you see, it fs not Rosewater alone that opposes Tom Majors, as his friends claim all over the state. I have been a republican ever since 1870, but I can't support the biggest part of our state ticket this year. I was in the state convention, so 1 know the ticket was not nominated by tho delegates, but was fixed up by the pluggers. Virginia: “There are four voters in our family and T am sure we will give Holcomb four votes." Waverly: “The position The Bee has taken in the present campaign suits me entirely, especially the interest taken in the laboring classes and farmers. There are several of my nelghbors who will not vote for Majors. The farmer dodge doesn't catch | any suckers among the farmers I have seen.” | Guide Rock: “I heartlly approve your position. 1 will support Holcomb for gov-| ernor, as will one other republican voter of my household.” Chester: 'The position you have taken in supporting Holcomb for governor meets my approval, as well as three other republicans | in my house. I don't know of any Tom Majors men in this part of the country.” | Lyons: “I shall vote for Holcomb for | governor, but for the rest of the republicans on the ticket." Table Rock: “I approve of the course of The Bee, and although a lifelong republican 1 shall vote for Holcomb. Oakland: “I am an old line republican, but consider an honest man above party al- leglance and shall cast my vote for Holcomb, The course of The Bee meets my hearty approval.” Savage: “Your stand in regard to Hol- comb s just, and I hope he will be our next | governor, When the republican party gets 50 low that It has to nominate such men as Tom Majors and the rest of the ring, it is time to put them down.” Madison: “The course of The Bee meets my hearly approval. I have no sympathy for such men as Tom Majors, and it seems that the republican party should have chosen a man with a clear record. I have been a republican ever since the party was organ- ized, but I cannot go Tom Majors. 1 shail vote for Holeomb." Lyons “Your course Majors is in uccord with hope you will keep it up." with regard to| my views, and I St. Edwards: “I can endorse your posi- tion with reference to Majors and it suits Mr. , my renter,” St. Bdwards: “I have been a republican voter but five years, but your course in reference to Holcomb meets my approval.” Bennett: “I am in accord with your views in support of Judge Hoicomb and héve been doing all 1 can to defeat our tattooed candi- date and expect to do my best until after election." Gresham: “I can hardly swallow the head of the ticket this year." Lyons: “It would be poor policy to sup- port a man that has proven himself as worthless to the state as Majors seems to have done. [ am in favor of honest men, whether they are republicans or democrats.’ Orchard: “I am very much pleased with The Bee and its stralghtforward way of ex- posing bad deeds of any man, no matter what party he belongs to. 1 and my brother (Contloued on Second Pag: | the Gautemalan (RUSADE FOR CHEAP BREAD Agricultural Department Issues a Synopsis of Prof. Atwater's Report on the Cost. PCCR MAN'S FOOD C.M:S QUITE HIGH Present Price Regarded by the Expert as Entirely Too Dear for the Con- sumer of Lurge Quantitics of Bakers' Product. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—In view of the crusade for cheaper bread inaugurated in a number of cities, including Washington, where the price has been reduced from 5 cents to 4 as a result of the crusade, the Agricultu department has glven a bulletin out on “The Cost of Bread," taken from the forthcoming report of Prof W. 0. Atwater on the nutritive value of food. It says: “In practice 100 pounds of flour will make frem 133 to 137 pounds of bread, the average being about 136 loaves. Flour, such as is used by bakers, is now purchased in the eastern states at not over $4 per barrel. This would make the cost of the flour in a pound of bread, about 1% cents. Allowing 14 cent for the shortening and salt, which is cer- tainly very liberal, the materials for a pound of bread would cost not more than 2 cents, Of course, there should be added to this the cost of labor, rent, interest on investment, expense of gelling, ete., to make the actual cost to the baker, “Very few accurate weighings and analy- cents a loaf, ses of bakers' bread have been made in this country, so far as I am aware, but the above statements represent the facts as nearly as I have been able to obtain them,” ‘“The averag: weight of a number of speci- mens of 10-cent loaves purchased in Middle- town, Conn., was one and one-fourth pound:, This makes the price to the consumer § cents per pound. The price of bread and the eizz of loaf are practically the same now as when flour cost twice as much. The cost of bakers' bread is comparat.vely small to the person who buys only a loaf now and then, but in the eastern states and In the larger towns throughout the country, many people, and especially those with moderate in- comes and the poor buy their bread of the baker. ~ Six cents per pound, or even half that amount, for the manufacture and dis- tribution, seems a very large amount. In the large citles competition has made bread much cheaper, but even there the d ference between the cost of bread to the well-to-do family, who bake it themselves, and the fam- ily of the poor man, who buys it of the er, is unfortunately large.” (he report also goes into the chemistry and sclentific features of bread-making, show- Ing a total of €S per cent nutriment ani 42 per cent water. In wheat flour the total nutrimen are 88 per cent and water 12 per cent, showing that the nutriments are largely reduced by bak'ng. The potential energy in a pound cf flour is 2,000 per cent; in a pound of bakers' bread, 1,500 per cent. With the increase in the proportion of water in the bread as compared with the flour, the proportion of nutriments is diminished, but the add:tion of shortening and salt brings up the fat and minerals in the bread, so the proportions are larger than in flour. ARBITRATION THE LAST R¥SORT. Giatemala and Mexico Will Submit to Civ- ized Methods of Settling Disput s, WASHINGTON, Oct. 2§.—Senor Lazo Ar- riga, the Gautemalan minister, made today the following statement In regard to the present difficulties between his country and Mexico: “With the object of ending the old and vexatious boundary question, the prelim- inary basis for a definite treaty was agreed upon and signed in New York City August 12, 1852, and the formal. treaty was sub- scribed (o September 7 of the same year. “In the preliminary treaty It wds agreed among other points that for the demarca- tion of the boundary line the actual posses- sion should be generally considered a base, but that the governments, by agreement, could change this rule by making mutuai con tions; that under the boundary as marked, each of the contracting par- ties should respect the party in actual posses- slon, and that, in the event that said parties should not agree about the total or partial designation of the line, the differences (hat would rise should be seitled by arbitration of the president of the Uniteq States of America. “Tha final treaty provides that a parallel, beginning near Ixbul, shall run east to the Usumasinta river. if this river was to be reached in that direction; or to the Chixoy river If the former was not in the way of said parallel. This parallel did not reach the Usumasinta, being not of it, and, accord- ing to the treaty, said parallel should haye stopped at the Chixoy river, but the Mexican engincers endeavored to prolong it o the Cancuen river, under the groundless asser- tion that this s the Usumasinta river, thus gIVIng to Mexico over 1,000 square miles of territory. The government of Gautemala made a very strong protest thereon and the Mexican government ac- cepted its views on this point, although under the condition that no other similar question should rise. There were no other diiculties, in fact ,except very small differences in the work of the engincers, and this they think can be arranged by themselves. “In the meantime each of the two govern- ments has preserved, according to the treaty, the dominion of the respective territory thaf will be annexed by the other upon the final demarcation of the boundary lines and fu. thorities of the two countries have cgn. cessions to cut mahogany in sald territories, From an immemorial time Gautemala has been In possession, unquestioned by Mexite, of & large portion of the land located on. the west side of the Chixoy and Usumasinty rivers, and upon this territory being invaded recently by Mexicans, the Gautemalan au(hop. itics were obliged 10’ expel them and to pro- test against invasion, asking at the same time for a due explanation; but the Mexjess Xovernment now asserts that said territory belongs to Mexico, evidently misinformed by its angineers. The government of Gautemary had not then, nor has not at present, any armed force outside of its own territory.” Senor Lazo Arriga belleves that s soon as the Mexican government s informed. of the real facts It will change its attitude toward Gautemala and also believes that ¢ war between the two nations Is a very im- probable contingency, not only because the present difficulties are not of great impor. tance, but chicfly because the freaty proyiqes that all questions incident to the demaroation of the boundary line shall be settled s above stated, by the civilized means of arb|. tration. Should the actual difficulties aaged reach this point the president of the Uniteq States will be requested to act as arbitratey WILL SETTLE A OLD CLA1AL Vo zuelan (luims Commission Now Organ- izing at Wushington, WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—The Venezuelan claims commission held its first meeting at the state department yesterday. The pur- pose was to effect a temporary organization and consult regarding the selection of a third commissioner. Secretary Gresham re celved the members and extended the usual courtesies, There were present Minister Andrade, the Venezuelan commissioner; Judge E. C. Jeftries, the United States com- missioner; Mr. Morse, the United States agent, and Solicitor General Phillips, the Venezuelan agent. The matter which the committee Is expected to adjudicate are the claims of an American corporation known as the Venezuelan Steamer Transportation com- pany, growing out of the seizures and deten- tions of their vessels by Venezuela some years ago. Before this can be eatered upon, however, It will be necessary for two com- missioners to' select a third one to act with them. This was not done today and the commission adjourned to meet again Monday.

Chinese Army Had Fled Mefore It Had Time to Give Pagtle, WASHINGTON, Oct. 28—The Japanese le- gation today received a @ispatch which con- firms the news published this morning in dispatches from Shanghaf of a second victory of the Japanese army unfer Marshal Yama- geta. The telegram is dated Hirgshima and reads as follows: “‘Before dawn of October $6¢ our army, un- der Marshal Yamageta, attacked Kin-Len- Cheng, one of the {mportant strongholds on the Chinese frontler. The place was de- fended by 16,000 troops under Generals Lin and Song. They fled, after offering only a slight resistance, and the Japanese forces took possession of the fortifications and the city. They captured thirty large field guns, { an’ immente quantity of rjte, food of other | kinds, etc., and more than 300 tents. The Japanese loss was twenty killed and elghty- three wounded. The Chinese lost more than 200 killed; the exact number of their wounded s not known." believed at the Japanese legation that neral Lin mentioned in the above dis- patch is the noted Chinese commander who | played such a prominent part during the | Tonking difficulty and to whom it was re- cently reported Viceroy Li Hung Chang had offered the chief command of the Chinese | army. The Japanese legatlon has received its first mail of Japanese hewspapers since the battle of Yalu and Ping-Yang and they are filled with the detalls of the engagements, lists of killed and wounded, accounts of hero- lem and other evidences of war.- The bad tactical methods of the Chinese soldiers ex- cite the derision of the Japanese. The latter point out that thé Chinese erect breastworks and then sit quietly within them without throwing out skirmishers to harrass the enemy. The Chinese goldiers also raise a number of banners just as they fire a vol- | ley, so the Japanese troops also know when a shower of lead is impending, The Chinese | also exhaust their cartridges in the maga- zine guns as fast as they can fire them, making a hail of bullets and then a long calm. The rifles captured from the Chinese show rust of long standing and other care- less treatment. A touching story is told of a Japanese | bugler who had just sounded the “charge’ when he received a bullet in the breast. He was urged to lay aside his bugle, as a fresh exertion would make a hemorrhage, proving fatal. His reply was another blast of the “‘chargo” as he toppled over. The members of the Japanese House of Peers have sent 500,000, ¢lgarettes to the soldiers. The leading tea merchant of Japan | has presented the war office with 1,000 chests | of tea.

One of them says China must pay Japan ten times the cost of the war and must agree to let Japanese treops be sta- tioned throughout China hereafter, A Tokio paper states that prior to the X the men manufactured cannon balls out of clay, painted them black and passed inspe tion with this bogus equipment.

INSDE FACTS CONCERN'NG THE ROW Chancellor Refased to Disavow the Cologne Garette Articles Which He Had Not lnspired, Even at I Majosty's Order. BERLIN, Oct. 28 —It is expected that the appointment of Prisnce von Hohenlohe as im- perfal German chancellor to succred Count von Caprivi will be gazetted tomorrow. It fs also explained that the Gazette will contain the announcement that Herr von Koeller, under socretary of the Interior for the prov- | Ince of Alsace-Lorraine, has been appoint:d Prussian minister of the Interlor, vice Count Euhlenberg, who held that office, in addition to being political president of the Prussian ministerfal council. Both Prince von Hohen- lohe and Herr von Koeller this morning ac- companied the emperor and empress to Berlin from Potsdam. They spent the day in the city and the four returned together to Pots- dam at 6 o'clock this evening. They dined and spent the evening at the new palace at Potsdam and will return to Berlin tomorrow, when Herr von Koeller will probably upon his ‘duties at the ministry of the terior. CAUSES OF THE ROW. A= the political situation clarifies the re- tirement of Count von Caprivi from the ¢ an cellorship assumes still further the character of an actual dismissal. The trouble ap- pears to have originated in the emperor's reception recently of a deputation of east Prus lan agririans eaced by Cou it Zea Euh- lenberg. The deputation was submissive, but the agrarian organization used the reception as proof that the emperor was favorable to Euhlenberg. The latter appeared to de- office. Von Caprivi submitted a memorandum to the emperor on Tuesday offering to resign if Count Euhlen- berg remained in office. Being forced to choose between the two, the emperor, as is known, gave his unqual- ified approval to Count von Caprivi's policy. The:eupon, as a set-off to the emperor's r ception of the agrarians, the article in the Cologne Gazette attacking Count Euhlenberg appeared. Euhlenberg resigned on Friday morning. The emperor sent Herr von Lu- canus, chief of the civil cabinet, to ask Von Caprivi whether he had inspired the articl in the Gagette. Von Caprivi replied in the negative, but expressed his sympathy with that paper’s views, The emperor then sum- moned Count von Caprivi and demanded a public disavowal of the article. Von Caprivi repeated that he had not inspired t article and would not publish a disclaimer, becau: he agreed with its views. He now had no alternative but to resign, which he did. It is now known as a fact that the empel tried to reconcile the personal differences be- tween the two men, but failed. Comments are made on the curious erup- tion of the imperial personal idiosyncracles into the domain of government. Had Ca- p:ivi been discarded for the purpose of in augurating an alternative policy, the public could repdily understand the change, but that a mew chancellor should be appointed to execute exactly the same poliey his pre- decessor advocated, is altogether a new de- velopment of political Ideas. ¥ 3 HIS TENURE TEMPORARY. Princ Von HohenTolié VIaltad Cotnt “Yor aprivi today. The latter will enjoy a pen- sion as ex-chancellor, but his army pension wilt bb cancelled. After a visit to Geneva he intends to take up his permanent resi- dence with his nieces on their estate in Brandenburg. Prince von Hohenlohe's age- he Is now 75 years old—is regarded as pre- cluding a long tenure of office or active par- tielpation in affairs, and especially in the Reichstag. The imperial policy will now more than ever be under the personal guidance of the emperor, to the no small alarm of all liberal minded Germans, who compare the seeming instability of the emperor's cl ‘acter with the steady purpose and aims of the old Em- peror Willlam, It has now become known that Count von Euhlenberg introduced the Bast Prussian agrarian delegation to the emperor without notifying or consulting Von Caprivi. The latter's resentment is, therefore, considered to be justifiable. The choice o! Prince von Hohenlohe insures the continuance of the colonial policy as heretofore. He obtained favor in France as German ambassador, though he has no idea of any territorial restoration, In home policy he is a moderate conservativ Herr von Koeller, the new Prussian min- ister of the interior, is in Prince von Hohen- lohe's confidence, but his policy is more doubtful. He has been strongly identified with the anti-soclalist and anti-Semitic mov.- ments. It is hoped, however, that his long connection with Prince von Hohenlohe has subdued his more extreme views. While Marshal von Bieberstein retains the port- follo of imperial minister of foreign affairs a reactionary policy may be regarded as im- ossible, : ORIGIN OF A FAKE. He recently informed the emperor that if any such policy were adopted against Count von Caprivi's wish he should feel obliged to relinquish@ffice. 1t was this probability that gave origin to the baseless rumor circulated by an alleged newspaper agency that he had resigned. The , United press seized upon this in- tangible rumor as an actual fact and added that Dr. Von Boeticher, imperial secretary of the interior, would follow the foreign minister out of office. This story, it is un- derstood here, was published in America, but the Assoclated press is in a position to deny there is any truth in it. The facts are as above stated. Late tonight a rumor is current emperor wants to appoint Count Zeu Euhlen- berg governor of Alsace-Lorraine, but that Prince von Hohenlohe opposes it. The prince iias also made, it is said, his acceptance of the chancellorship dependent upon several alterations in the Prussian ministry. There is no reliable news of any changes being made in the imperial cabinet. A feature of the situation that cannot be rightly omitted Is the universal chorus of eulogies Count von Caprivi 1in the press of all parties. Even the Vorwaerts, the organ of the soclalists, admits that he 1s a man to be respected, while the Bismarckian press speaks of him with becoming courtesy. The ultra-conservative Kiiuz Zeitung, after a hasty outburst of exultation over his down- fall, quotes this in today's issue: *That it beats no ill will toward him SIGNIFICANCE OF THE AFFAIR. LONDON, Oct. 28.—A special dispatch to the Times from Paris, says the appointment of Prince von Hoheniohe as German chan- cellor Is construed as a pacific symptom The correspondent of the Times at Vienna says the resignation of Caprivi has made a very unfavorable Impression in the Austrian capital. It is taken to indicate the instabil- ity of the goverament of Germany. A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says it is believed that the only departmental changes likely to follow the change in the chancellorship and the Prussian ministry will be those necessary to prevent friction in the state wmachinery. The emperor being spe- clally anxfous for the continuity of the pres- ent forelgn policy, Baron Marshal von Ble- bersteln, secretary of state for forelgn af- fairs, will retain office. The crisis, there- fore, remains an internal, and in the em- peror's view, merely a personal one, Whether it was necessary for such & purpose to subject the country to such a severe shock 1s another question. As a Berlin paper cynically remarked, there are two men overboard, but the course remains unchanged Perhaps the only personage who n be sincerely congratulated is Count von ( that the ©hilian Expositi-n Opened, WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Semor Don Do- mingo Gana, the Chillan minister at Wash- ington, has received the announcement from his government of the opening at 2 o'clock his afterncon of the miniag aud welallurgls cal exposition at position was Santiago, Chill.

Rosebery Regards the House of Lords as a Menace to Freedon. LONDON, Oct. 28.—The liberals last night opened their electoral eampalgn at Bradford, where a meeting was held which was at- tended by 5,000 people. Prime Minister Rose- bery delivered the principal speech of the evening. He said that in his opinion the next general election would not be fought on the home rule, disestablishment of the church in Wales or the iiquor question, but on a question which would include them all. | The matter of the House of Lords was the greatest leglslative question that had arisen In two centuries, 1t had long been evident to him that drastic dealfng with the House of Lords must precede the full realization of | other political programs “‘We boast of our free institutions God that we are not as other men are and all the time we endure this mockery of free dom.” He confessed freely that all experi- ce pointed to the necessity of a second chamber of some sort. but to his mind it was an absolute danger and an invitation to revolution that there should be a second chamber in the position of the House of Lords. It was, therefore, as a lover of log- | Islation ‘and freedom that he implored the thanking consideration Lords over finance had been restricted by resolution of the House of Commons.

Some of them were in the trecs; others were lying on the ground and under the debris of the wrecked building. Ore of the boarders Wwho escaped injury made his way to a neighs boring shanty and woke the inmates. Blan- kets and bedding were carried to the scehs and the infured made as comfortable ai possible.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Oct. 28.—This city and vicinity were teruibly shaken today by an explosion which occurred on the summit of a hill a mile from town, where was stored in a small building five tons of dynamite. The stuff had been sent here on consignment from a Chicago house to a local hardware merchant. It is presumed a rifle bullet fired by a hunter into the building lodged in some powder that was in storage and that the per- &on lost his life. The ground was torn up to a great depth for some distance, while trees and fences for many rods were torn and twisted and quite a number of trees were pulled up by the roots. The glass in every farm house for miles around was shattered. In this city the effect was disastrous to the plate glass fronts, and windows in numbers of dwellings were broken, The shock came while peaple were on thelr way to church and threw women and children down and caused several women to faint.
