BERLIN, Jan. 11.—When the debate on the anti-revolutionary bill was resumed in the Relchstag today Herr von Wolszleglier, a Polish member, criticised the soclalist con- ception of the functions of the state on the ground of its irreliglous character. He de- clared that the Polish workmen up to the present were not affected by soclalism, and urged that the authorities in struggling in defense of religion, morality and order should treat the Poles as allies and protect their nationality and religion. Herr von Wolszleglien concluded by claring that the Poles regarded the measure with solicitous misgivings, as they them- selves had had frequent experiences in re- gard to the rigor of the law. Herr von Kocller, the minister of the in- terior, denfed that Die Frieheit was in the pay of the police. The soclalists, he added, were agltating daily both in the press and at meetings the glorification of erime, which was on the Increase, and even revolution was openly extolled. At the socialist congress at Altoona, Herr von Koeller continued, a delegate named Hartwig said: “When the outbreak comes, give me a revolver or even a bomb.” According to the minister of the interior, the present penal code did not suffice for such offenses. He concluded with calling on the various parties to unite for the protec- tion of religion. (Loud applause.) Herr von Sonneburg urged that increased protection be given to military discipline, as the army constituted the most effectual barrier against soclalists, Von Hedenburg, alluding to the annexa- tion of Hanover, declared Prince Bismarck had provoked the greatest revolution. This remark elicited a storm of indignant protests. Sigl, amid laughter, cried that it the bill was adopted the opposition would be con- demned to death, He added: ““You cannot fight an idea by legislation. The present bill has contributed to add $0,000 to the socialist votes in Bavaria. T am not a socialist now, but If matters do not change I shall be a soclalist in five years time.” The debate was again adjourned. srman Reichs- de- LOUIS STEVENSON'S DEATH, Dispatch from Consul General Malligan at Apia to the State Department. WASHINGTON, Jan., 11.—The Department of State has recelved a dispatch from Consul General Mulligan at Apfa reporting the death of Robert Louls Stevenson, Under date of December 5 he writes: It Is with profound sorrow and a sincere gense of direct personal loss that T report the sudden and wholly unexpected death of the distinguished author and great novelist Robert Louis Stevenson, which took place at his residence, Vailima, at this place at § p. m. on Monday, the 3d inst., from a stroke of apoplexy received about an hour and a half before while seated at his own hospitable \ table. “Aside from his world wide reputation in lterature, Mr. Stevenson was easily the first flflzcn of Samoa and the center of its soclal ife. “The last manifestation of his great hos- pltality was, peculiarly enough, as a dining celebration of our American Thanksgiving day, which occurred cxactiy four days before his Jeath, and at which, in response to a toast to his health, he spoke at length of his ad- miration of the American festival of Thanks- glving and proceeded in a spirit of religious sentiment to recount the many blessings he had been grateful for. “His remaius were interred on the very summit of the mountain overlooking his late home 4t 1 o'clock yesterday, whither they were borne with infinite difficulty by the willing hands of a great number of Bamoans FRENCA DRIVE BACK HOVAS, cody Battle Near Tamatave and a Heavy Lo for the Native TAMATAVE, Dec. 28,—The French have bombarded Fara-Fatra, about four miles in- land from Tamatave, The Hovas answered With seven guns, but the French were suc- cessful, and the Hovas retired with heavy losses.

The assembly chamber was crowded when Governor Markham was escorted to the speaker's chair and introduced by Speaker Lynch. The retiring governor gave a brief speech of farewell and thanks with a good word for his successor, Budd was ‘then introduced amid loud cheering. The oath of office was administered by Jus- tice Henshaw, of the state supreme bench. Immediately cannon gave the gubernatorial salute of nineteen guns. Then Governor Budd delivered his inaugural address, speci- fying a number of institutions and state boards in which retrenchment is advisable through consolidation, abolishment and desira ble legislatio Now that Governor Budd has been inaugu- rated, and all talk of a contest Is at an end, the interest of the politicians centers on the ntest for United States senator. Senator orge A. Perkins and M. H. DeYoung still nain the two most prominent candidates, both are confident that they will receive the nomination. Perkins last night received the republican caucus nomination, forty-five out of sixty-seven in the caucus endorsing him as their candidate. The DeYoung men contend it was not a caucus, but simply a meeting of Perkins men, and that the lat- ter's weakness is thus displayed, as forty-five votes will never elect him. The A. P.

Indiana Played In Great Strikes, INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 11.—Governor Mats thews delivered his message to the Indiana legislature today. Governor Matthews' message was very long and dealt with many topics. The message contained about 15,000 words, The first subject discussed Is the finances of the state. It Is shown that the state has left an era of debt-making and gone into an era of debt-paying. He expresses the opinion that a reduction of 2 per cent in the school tax levy might be made and says that in the past two years no money has been borrowed by the state; all payments have been promptly met and $1,310,000 has been paid on the state debt. The Roby Columbia Athletic club is re- ferred to and the enactment of a more stringent law governing prize fighting is urged. This law should make it a felony to act either as principal or second. The ad- vertising of a fight should be made punish- able by fine. The governor gives a brief review of the coal miners’ strike last year and defends his action in_quelling the riots with state troops. Of the Pullman strike the message says: “A strike originating at Pullman, IlL, was in sympathy joined in by the American Rall- way union In Chicago and from there spread to towns and cities in Indiana. As is often true, a vicious element, unable to appreciate the Institutions of a free people, whose only idea of liberty is license and respecting no law save that of force, availed themselve of the opportunity to commit depredations.” The 750 Indiana troops in this strike cost the state $52,807 and this amount the legis- lature is asked to provide. The message commends the support of the Loyal Leglon and the Grand Army of the Republic in their prompt offer of service to suppress the strike troubles. An inercase of the gov- ernor’s contingent fund is asked for, Section 46 “should be amended,” the message says, o that a military officer command would have more discretion in giving the order to fire when it becomes necessary, in order to leave him entirely at the discretion of the civil officer.” It is recommended that a law be passed glving the governor authorlty to institute action in the courts to prevent the com- mission of acts against property, public peace, public morals, public poiley, et , with the authority in proper cases to appoint a recelyer for the property where the illegal ts are being committed. The governor and other public officers should be empowered to institute and maintain action against rail- road companies to restrain them from carry- ing passengers for the purpose of engaging in unlawful enterprises and making the carrying for such purpose a cause for for- felture of franchises. Winter racing is deplored by the governor and a law forbidding meetings between the first day of November and the first day of April is urged. Whitecapism Is decreasing and belief is expressed that strict enforce- ment of present laws will finally eradicate it, Relative to ship canals the message recom- mends that Indiana representatives in con- gress be urged to secure from the general government a survey for a ship canal con- necting Lake Michigan with the Ohio river. The legislature 1s also asked to pass a jeint resolution calling upon Indiana United States senators to continue to advocate the clection of United States senators by a direct vote of the people.

The dead are: JACOB ROSENBERG, aged 13. ABRAHAM BERSAN, 22 years. JOSEPH JACOBSON, 25 years. An overturned gas stove caused the trag- edy. The flat in which the men were suffo- cated while asleep is occupied by Jacob Rosenberg, the father of the dead boy. He is a butcher, with a shop in Hester strect. Some time ago the flat was robbed and Rosenberg decided to have his workmen, Bersan and Jacobson, sleep there to guard against burglars, Young Rosenberg slept with them. A few minutes before 4 o'clock this morning, when another employe from the butcher shop came to wake Rosenberg, he smelled gas coming from the room where the three slept. The door was burst open and all were found dead in their beds. The gas stove in the room had been overturned and the pipe by which it was connected with the jet had been broken. ———— DID NOT DIE REPENTANT.

The bishop's letter calls for prompt obedience to the pope's decree and concludes as follows: “This decision should settle the question for every true Catholic. It makes no matter what his own private judgment may be concerning the nature of such societies or what temporal advantages they may offer, or for any other reason he may have had for becoming a member thereof. The vicar of Christ has spoken and a prompt and loyal obedience is the only answer to be given by a Catholic.” e Mexican Priests Fight a Duol.

D, Jan. 11.—(Sp gram.)—The chief of police has received a telogram from Memphis stating that he has under arrest a man answering (he description | of W. W. Taylor, the defaulting state trea urer, and asking for instructions. Attorney General Crawford wired to hold the prisoner for identification, Ths legislature today appointed a joint com- mission to investigate the defalcation in the treasurer’'s offic The commission consists Pease, Boyce and McGee Representatives Gold, Barron, Ded Holmquist and Lucas. They wiil at once | begin a thorough jnvestigation. The legisla- ture called on the auditor and public exam- iner to report at once on their offices. The Taylor incident bids fair to in- volve some of the other state officials, and there are well defined rumors of some revela- tions to be made which will show a condition only less shocking than the treasurer's de- falcations. It is understood that another offi- cial, having the custody of very large sums of &tate money, was concerned with Taylor in the beginning, and that he has misused tho funds in an equally illogitimate manner. It is likely that a condition of rottenness will be discovered which will shake the state as even the story of Taylor's downfall has not done. SAVE al Tele- of Senators and over, now THEMSELV' WITH STATE It is now known that during the panic the state funds were used to bolster up the private affairs of various state officials and that thereby not only were the state and school boards deprived of the use of the money which the statute gave them, but the state lost a large sum in interest, and as a result of this illegitimate conduct has now lost the $350,000. It is rumored that the public examiner will be arrested and his bondsmen sued for the Taylor loss. The statute provides that the examiner shall examine the various county and state treasurers’ affairs at stated inter- vals and if he find them at all out of the way he shall at once proceed to take possession of the office, and bring about an accounting, and shall’ hold the offending official until the irregularity is made good. When it was first known that Taylor had been a defaulter Mr. Myers, the public ex- aminer, was very talkative and discussed the matter in detail with many people, one of whom was The Bee correspondent. He declared that about a month ago he examined the treasurer's office and having balanced the books calied on Taylor by letter for his certificates of deposits, the funds being in the sole custody of the treasurer and there being no books in the office to show where they were deposited, Taylor wrote an evasive reply and treated the repeated Teports of the examiner in the same way. MYERS KNEW TAYLOR WAS SHORT. Myers stated that he at the-time became strongly suspicicus of a shortage, but sup- posed it was comparatively smull, and that the treasurer would ba able to raise enough money to make it good before the expiration of his term, which would come in three weeks. He, therefore, did nothing, but was surprised when the default became public. Had he, at the time he conceived this sus- picion, promptly brought Taylor to book, the state would have saved fully $250,000. At that time all the money since, stolen was in the treasury, and Taylor was given time to draw into his own hands and get away with it. Myers, having thus neglected his plain duty, and the state having, by his action, lost 0,000, good lawyers believe that he ,is criminally liable, and that bis bondsmen can be held for the amount of their bonds. It is rumored that he will be arrested in a few days. The theory of Taylor's course has changed somewhat since yesterday. It was expected by all the officials that when ex-Governor Mellette arrived last evening, he would bring a_proposition from the bondsmen to settle. The day the default was discovered, Mellette, who was on the bond for $50,000, wired from Lafayette, Ind., the home of Taylor's father, that he was on Kis way here, and not to attach any property until he arrived, that he would turn over overything and would fix up the shortage. He arrived this morning, but it appears that he represents himself alone, He, however, tells some Intcresting tales, which throw considerable light on the action of Taylor. MELLETTE LEFT About two years ago Taylor loaned Mellette, then governor of tre state, $15,000, and Mellette gave him as security a warranty deed for all of his property, real and per- sonal, to the amount of $30,000. This was not discovered. A few months ago Taylor asked for the money, and stated that he was hard pressed and must have it. Mellette went to Boston and secured the money by making a new but similar deed to parties there, and was about to turn over the money to Taylor when the crash came. Yesterday he learned that Taylor had recorded the deed and had mortgaged the property for its full value, and the two deeds were placed on record Wednesday night, the day after the defalcation became known. This bankrupts Mellette and deprives the state of any chance of recovering from him as bondsman. He has, however, given the attorney general a full list of his property, and the state has already attached and will contest the deed glven by Taylor. Mellette had a BANKRUPT, conference with Taylor in Chicago on the 12th of December, and they were at the same hotel with Leppelman of Gettysburg, in whose bank Taylor lost most of his mor nd one of the heaviest bonds- men, who is' now believed to have been cognizant of the action at the time. Mellette also states that Taylor informed him that the real cause of his troubles began with is connection with Leppelman’s bank at Gettysburg early in 1803, SENT GOOD MONEY During the panic Tay to the aid of the bank AFTER BAD. or was besought to go He was urged to do 0 in order to avert its closing and thercby prevent a general breaking of banks in the state and a ruin of a people, He did so, but some time afterwards discovired that the bank was in much worse condition than he had supposed, and in order to save what b had put in he put up $60,000 more, but even this did not prevent the failure, which came three months ago. All of this was state money.

When the senate ad- Journed last evening the two senatorial factions d each other with twenty sena- tors under the lead of Crane, and thirteen under the banner of Watson, McKesson and Pope. The thirteen left the senate chamber confident that before morning they would Whip the rebellious republic back Into line, deprive Crane of any chairmanship to which he might aspire, and resume control of matters generally when the re- convened this morning. As the night wore the task of whipping tho obstreperous republicans back into the camp proved much more formidable than had been anticipated. Every possible influenco was brought the disaffected republicans, emissary was even gent to Ashland on stock train at 1 o'clock this morning to explain the situas tion to friends of Senator Lehr of Saunders county, with instructions to bring back to Lincoln some man who could pull a string attached to Lehr. In the meantime two republicans of the backbone stripe went over to the enemy, ostensibly as recruits, but really as agents to report back to the anti-ring headquarters at the Lincoln. When all had been done the two factions stood 16 to 16, according to the Watson count. In reality there were still cighteen senators under Crane’s leadership, with Senator Gray {1l in his room. Finding their case hopeless, the Watson-McKesson-Pope combine requested three outsiders to ne- gotiate with Crane for peace. The diplo- matic task was entrusted to Bill Paxton, Casper Yost ard Tom Benton. These am- bassadors and ministers plentipotentiary asked for the terms and Crane submitted the following proposition: TERMS OF THE COMPROMISE. 1. That Douglas county should be given the places in the distribution of the standing committees that her importance as a repubs lican county in the last election entitled her to. He left the distribution entirely in the hands of the old 2.

The terms were finally agreed to by the old ‘éombine, not withgut a protest over_the proposition for a call of the house. “This proposition was extremely obnoxlous to the committec on rules, It had purposely de- clined to report a rule providing for a call of the house, thereby intending to take away the last vestige of protection afforded to the minority. But Crane ins'sted and all of his terms were accepted. The agreement was carried into effect when the senate convened this forenoon. There was one slight evidence of a disposi- tion to kick on one of the rules offered by Sprecher, relating to pai A roll call was demanded and the rule adopted by a vote of 16 to 15, with Lindsay (rcpublican) and Gray (populist) absent. Even admitting the claim that Lindsay would have voted against Crane, the fact yet remains that Senator Gray ‘was ready to come to the senate in a closed carrlage within ten minutes if his presence was needed, Crane claims to have the matter under his own control from this time on. He asserts that he can work the same combination at any time during the session. Under the new rulo governing the call of the: house the eight populists and two republicans can al- ways throw the senate into a deadlock une less the opposition is present at all times to a man. At the very best the Watson-Pope- McKesson combine can only control sixteen votes, unless it can win over an extra man from the other side. ' SENATE STANDING 'COMMITTEES.
