(Copyrighted, 1565, by the Assoclated Press.) BERLIN, Feb. 23.—Emperor William, re- plying to a toast proposed by Herr Aschen- bach, minister of state, at the annual bangoet in connection with the opening of the Diet of Brandenburg, sald that the sentiments of loyalty expressed by the Brandenburgers were doubly valuable in such dificult times and were a comfort and a prop to him in his thorny office. These sentiments testify, more- over, confidence in their emperor, a confidence which implies their willing eo-operation with and support to the crown. What, however, would most lighten his task would be the resolution of a whole nation to range itself on the side of the “Father of the People Ho urged his people to give him active help in the consideration of the questions which at present occupy public attention. These questions related chiefly to the relative post tion which husbandry is to hold In to other classes. He had indicated in recent utterances how these questions were to be dealt with, He hoped with all his heart that some permanent improvement might be achleved. He would work toward that end with all his strength, but he earnestly warned the country not to entertaln eny extravagant hopes of any dream of Utopia. No particular class could claim any special privileges at the expense of other classes. The task of the country's ruler was to carcfully weigh the interests of all classes and to harmonize them 80 that the general interests of the fatherland @s & whole would be safely guarded. MUST BE SIMPLE AS FREDERICK. In conclusion, the emperor said that the lustre of the age of Frederick still rests upon today. He desired that the recollec- tions of that "earnest, simple-minded man, Frederick, should remind all that co-opera- tion between a prince and his people Is a safe augury of success. On the evening of the twenty-fifth anniver- &ary of the restoration and the new constitu- tlon of the united fatherland, he hoped his hearers would remember that only the Joint work of all the German races and their prirces had built up the empire. He said: “The glory gained by the Brandenburgers is fmperishable. Especially to be remembered are their deeds on the eventful 6th of August. In memory of that day and with the old cry With which the armed forces have followed the Hohenzollerns into many a combat, “‘Once more we lead, follow on, ralse your glass and empty it. Fare you well my Brandenburgers.” Influenza fe widespread here now. Al- though the disease Is not of a virulent type, It pervades all classes of soclety and numbers of deaths from the malady are recorded Beveral members of the diplomatic corps are affected and the various government bureaus are much reduced, as well as the membership of the Reichstag. OPPOSED TO BIMETALLISM. The first step In Germany's apparent @etermination to carry out the emperor policy of increasing the number of cruisers in the navy was taken today in the Reicls- tag buget committee's session, when extra credits aggregating 7,000,000 marks for four fast cruisers were approved. The govern- ment had requested a credit of 2,400,000 marks for torpedo boats, but the committee did not agree on this item. Before the credit for the crulsers was voted Herr Von Bicberstein made a communication to the committee concerning Germany's political re- lations with countries of South America and afterwards stated he regretted the adoption by the Reichetag on Saturday last of Count Von Mirbach's motion for the holding of an nternational monetary conference. Tha text of this important resolution was as follows: The committee of the German commerclal congress deplores most deeply that by the acceptance by the Relchstag of Count von Mirbach's motion for the holding of. an in ternational monetary conference, and still more by the tendencles displayed in the de- bate on the motion, a widespread disturb. ance of trade and commerce has been caused and that in forelgn countries the fden has been created that Germany in- tends to alter her currency system. Al- though the chancellor stated in his speech that eventually negotiations relative to measures for ralsing the price of silver would not be prejudicial to the German eur- rency, the committee nevertheless considers it imperatively necessary to declare that the German gold currency must not be in- terfered with. The committee considers any change as a fundamental injury to the en- tive economic life of Germany, agalnst which a too loud and energetic protest can- not be raised, The committee r pmmends that a special assembly be couvened to dis- cuss the question, WOMEN FILE A PROTEST. A number of public protests against anti-revolution bill are now circulating. One of these protests bears the signature of & large number of female soclal reformers tncluding those of Countess Dulouvon Den- newitze, Hedwlg von Allen and Lilly Gisecky. In a private audience given on Wednesday by the emperor to Cardinal Koppes, bishop of Luxemburg, his majesty declared that he was pleased that a modus vivend! had at length been arranged between the govern- ment and the centrists. He sald all re- ligiously inclined men ought to make joint front against the common revolutionary enemy, Herr Von Koetter, Prugsian minister of the interior, strongly condemned the tendency of a certaln section of the German drama The stage had in many respects deterlorated and such plays as “Die Weber” should not find a place in avy theater, although the administrative authorities of some towns permitted its production. Still that fact ought not to deter the police from probibit g Its performance in other places. The subversive tendencies which undermined the mordl status of the country must be ener- gelically combatted. Herr Von Koetter's Wpecch was loudly applauded by the members respect the von of the right, but elicited protests from the soclallst members, The preparations for the national cele- bration on April 1 of the anniversary of the birth of Prince Bismarck Increase so enor- mously and on such a general scale as to cause apprehension to Prince Bismarck, the question being how far he will be able to take part in the festivities. He has enjoyed good health recently, with the exception of an occastonal touch of neuralgla Emperor Willlam a few days ago sent Prof. Steinman of Schleswig-Holsteln to inquire of Prince Bismarck how far the government and the local authorities of Berlin may co- operate to facilitate the anniversary ovations without unduly taxing his strength. The lat- est proposals to honor the old ex-chancellor include the erection of a Bismarck monu- ment In Bavaria under the auspices of Prince Regent Luitpold, and monuments at Spandau, Grelse and Manheim. AMERICAN WOMAN IN JAIL, A case in which an American named Emma 8. Bross Is involved pending bfore the criminal court here. She claims to have been married to Count Per- poncher, son of the ex-chief court marshal of Emperor William I, while the young count was in America, but that the marriage was concealed because of family opposition. Her alleged husband is now in England. She is charged with having committed perjury in denying in court her intimacy with a Berlin physician, whose wife is now suing him for a divorce. Miss Bross, or Countess Perpon- cher, as the case may be, arrived here from America in December, 1803. She is now in Jail. She is about 30 years old and very handsome, The Mayence Chamber of Commerce has re- quested the government to endeavor to obtain an amendment to the American copyright law.

LONDON, Feb. 23.—The illness which con- flued Prime Minister Rosebery to his bed Is a sharp attack of influenza. He passed a restless night, but was somewhat better this morning. Influenza now prevails in epidemic form throughout London. Entire families are af- fected by the disease and many firms in the city are working with depleted forces owing to the illness of many of their emplo The malady is especially widespread in the east end of the city, but it is severely felt in the west end.

A prominent candidate s D. W. Hig; , serving ms third term as speaker of the legislature. He was formerly proprietor of the San Francisco Call and the British Columbia Colonist. All of the mem- bers of the Davis cabinet are said to be un- willing to undertake the formation of a min- istry, and the most promiment man in the house besides Higgins Is R. P. Rithet, whose business interests would be sacrificed by ac- cepting the premiership. Kebels Routed After Tivo Hours, COLON, Colombia, Feb. 23 eral, Lugo, with 260 followers, had an en- counter with a force of government troops on the 20th inst., at Santero, The fight lasted two hours, when the rebels were routed and fled in different directions. n of them were killed, many wounded, and prisoners were secured by the govarnment.

RUMORS COME THICK Spiung on the Hawaiian Public Only to Be Promptly Denied, ARMED MEN ASSEMBLE AT THZ WHARF Prepared to Prevent the Devortation of Men Convicted of Treason, EX-QUEEN'S SENTENCE ACREED UPON Reyorts that it is Five Years' Imprisonment, or Voluntery- Exile, MILITARY COURT STILL AT WORK Three Hundred and Ninety-One Arrests Have Been Made and Niuety-Four Cases Have Been Tried—Talk of lnternal Dissension. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb, 23.—The steamer Gaelic arrived tonight from Yokohama and Honolulu, bringing the following advices to the Assoclated press: HONOLULU, Feb. 17.—A more contagious faver of rumor never struck this community than that which swept over the town previous to the departure of the Mariposa. The story as it passed from mouth to mouth was rather plausible and ran something like this:* The government has decided to deport somo ten prisoners, among them being Wide- mann, Greig and Marshall. The presence of Judge Widemann on the wharf with a hand- satchel and guitar added credence to the Widemann part of the story. The govern- ment was prepared to carry out its plan when Minister Willls protested against men con- victed of political crimes being put .on board a vessel flying the American flag. Further- more, the recent immigration laws of the United States would not allow any such men to enter the country. In pursuance with this idea, Consul Mills had held the clearance papers of the vessel until assurance was re- celved no attempt would be made to put these men on board, President Dole and Ministers King and Smith were on the ship and got together in the captain’s cabin. There they were ru- mored to have come to a decision that they had better let the matter lay over to some more auspicious season. When asked. regarding the alleged depart- ure, Attorney General Smith said: “I can't see how such a thing got startsd. We have not thought of such a thing as deporting any men who have been before the court. I think we have more use for Greig and Widemann here than in the United States. There is no foundation whatever for the rumor.” WILLIS DENIES THE RUMOR. When Minister Willis was asked whether he had received any notice of an intended de- portation of prisoners, he replied: “No, I was informed quite to the contrary. T did not enter any protest or make any request to hold the steamer. In fact, I have not yet filed the protest consequent to the deportation af- fair last Saturday. It is farthest from my purpose or desira to take any action which would tend to embarrass this government. 1 have the most friendly feelings toward the officials. Of course, it is my duty to look after the interests of American citizens, but T most certainly have no intention of making any unnccessary trouble for the representa- tives of the government in so doing.” From all accounts, it was very fortunate for the peace of the community that no at- tempt was made to send the three men out of the country. Armed men belonging to the Citizens’ guard and other bodies were on the wharf to prevent the deportation of either Greig, Widemann or Marshall, The government caused the arrest of 381 persons since January 6, of whom ninety-four have been tried before the military. Sen- tences in but twenty-four cases have been made fpublic, twenty-three natives charged with treason, and V. V. Ashford charged with misprision of treason. Fifty-five men have been released by the authorities; the mili- tary court acquitted two. Three men, Cran- stoune, Johnstone and Mueller were deported. Thirteen persons are at liberty with the un- derstanding that tLey leave the coun'ry within a reasonable time and not return without per- mission from the government: John Radin, Fred Harrison, F. H. Redward, T. J. Lovey, rthur White, G. L. Ritman, J. C. White, 1. J. Camorinos, M. C. Bailey, A. McDowell, J. Carienne, Fred Woundenburg and James Brown. British Commissioner Hawes gave the men to understand that he would not interfere in their behalf as they admitted their gullt. V. V. Ashford, charged with misprison of trea- son, was found guilty and sentenced to one year in jail and fined $1,000. Ashford practiced law in Honolulu since about 1884, Ho was banished several years ago for con- spiracy against the monarchy. Twenty-three natlyes, convicted of treason, have received sentences varying from five to ten years, In one case a fine of $5,000 was remitted by President Dole. LIL WILL GET FIVE YEARS. Tho military court Is still sitting, and its work drags along slowly. About 200 cases are yet to be tried. Prince David has been found guilty. His sentence has not been made public. It is understood that the queen’s sentence will be five years for the part she has taken in the trouble. Probably she will be allowed to leave the country with- out serving the sentence, if she so desires The sentences found Instant favor among the people generally, though some thought Bipikane at least should have been sum- marily dealt with, The Hawaiians have commenced to work In earnest for annexa- tion, They have been informed that all present prisoners will be freed in the event of closer relations with the United States Martial law s still in force. A strong fight is being made to save the neck of W. H. Rickard, one gf the condemned men. He is a Mason, and that body has interesteq it- self in his behalf, Since the overthrow of the monarchy the American league has been a power, but events of the past two weeks have proven that its prestige has gone. Its president, Timothy Murray, is now suspected, and a watch is kept on his movements. He and bis men assisted the government in the late rebellion, but now their loyalty s questioned Murray denies that he is disloyal to this government and has sent a protest to Presi- dent Dole. It is understood the authorities will put a stop to the league's secret ings. There is much talk of internal dissensions which leads friends of Princess Kauilini hope that she will tome day be placed on the throme. It is a remote possibility, how has meet- ever. In regard to a dispatch sent by Secre- § tary Gresham to Minister Willls about de- manding a delay of execution, Attorney General Smith stated this morning that the government had no intentjon.of executing the condemned men untll the military court completes its labors, and every fact bearing on the case was brought out. Mr. Smith in- timated that nothing would be done until the United States government was in possession of the facts in each case. According to the attormey general the queen will not be sent out of the country. The latest sentence approved by the presi- dent is that of John Bowlors. He is given five years and fined $5,000 on a charge of misprision of treason The steamer Australia, leaving here on the 23 inst., will carry away a number of men who took part in the rebelilon and who are leaving of their own accord than stand trial.

ONE OF e et TAYLOR' MOOTH TRICKS He Manipulated Funds 8o as to Get Double Credlt and Finally Stole Them. PIERRE, §. D., Feb. 23.—{Special gram.)—Some highly interesting tes was glven by Cashier Humphrey to the Taylor investigating committee. A month ago Mr. Humphrey testified that the Red- field bank had never had to exceed $90,000 due the state. Then Public Examiner Myers brought forward a certificate of the bank, issued last April to him, that there was there at that time to Taylor's credit $170,000. Later Receiver Zimmerman certified that on the date of this certificate there was in the bank only $10,00. Fumphrey was recalled to explain the discrepancy. He stated that Taylor accustomed to keép his deposits in various banks, and to keep the certifi- cates of deposit in a private drawer at Redfleld, but did not enter 'them to his credit on the books of the bank. When the demand for a statement came from Myers Jast April Taylor found that he had to make a showing of §170,000, and, having only $40,000 at hand, he took $130,000 of these cer- tificates from this drawer and Jnstructed the cashier to issue the certificate that there was In the bank $170,000. He did not pass these to his credit in the bank, and they do not appear on his books. By this means he got from the public examiner credit for the §120,00 of certificates, and also the same from the banks in which the sums were deposited, making' a double credit to this amount. This testimony shows that Taylor was short long ago, and that he used gross fraud in decelving the ex- aminer as to his condition, The senate held no session today, but the house met for a short time. The governor sent In a veto of Calvin's bill, providing that the state shall pay for all state witnesses, except in criminal cases. The ground of the veto was the failure of the measure to carry an appropriation with it, and also the im- plication that the state should pay for all clvil actions brought about by the counties. The house adopted senate bill No. 13, the census bill, without the house amendments. This gives the work to the auditor, with an appropriation of $1,500, A resolution was passed requiring aylor committee to print its report. Miltimore offered a resolution that: ‘Whereas, Fifty-three members are able to do business more harmonlously than the entire membership, therefore resolved that the absent thirty be excused from further attendance and pay. This was referred to penal institutions. Tele- timony the Mr. to the effect the committee on Petitions against the di- vorce bill, aggregating about 200 names were presented.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.—The steamer Gaelic brought the following Japanese ad- vices to the Assoclated press: TOKIO, Feb. 6—China's attempt to ne- gotiate for peace proved even more fruitless than was anticipated. The Japanese are greatly disappointed at the failure of the Chinese government to give its envo proper power to negotiate for peace. The Tsung-li-Yamen was warned by all the for- cign diplomats, and especially Minister Dunn at Tokio, that unless the envoys were given full power their errand would be worse than usele The most positive pledges were given that the envoys would be genuine plenipo- tentiaries, with full power to speak for their govereign, and it is believed that stronger pledges were given Mr. Foster. The em- bassy came with the utmost confidence, with a small colony of attendants and food and clothing that indicated an indefinite stay. Yet the first glance at their credentials made it evident that their errand was a mere pre- tense. Their duties were so imperatively limited that they could only listen to the conditions which Japan might propose, re- port them to Peking and await further in- structions. This being the case the Japan- ese could only dismiss them without discus- sing the peace proposition with them. The envoys were given two audlences by the Japanese commissioner and Mr. Foster was not allowed to be present at either. February 1 their credentials were exam- ined and the following day they were in- formed that their errand was useless, Three days after their arrival in Hiroshima the envoys were preparing to return to China. It is reported that Mr. Foster's annoyance was 80 great that an open quarrel took place between him and his clients. The angry dispute is sald to have been overheard by crowds in the street on which the Chinese were lodged. Though the story is doubtless exaggerated it appears to be trué that the American contemplated leaving the embassy in Hiroshima and straightway returning to the United States, but this decision was reversed, and when the Chinese started on February 4 from Nagasaki he accompanied them to their port with a conditional prom- ise to go still further If his assistance were found indispensable. At the close of the second and last inter- view in the Hiroshima prefecture, Count Ito told the envoys that whenever properly accredited delegates should be sent by their emperor they would be received with as much respect as if this unfortunate error had not been committed. If China desires to promptly renew her application no ob- stacle will be put in her way, but it is doubtful it anything can now check the ad- vance of the invaders through Pe-Chi-Li and their occupation of Peking. iy RECEIVER: K INSTRUCTIONS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1t 1s seldom the senate bad a more busy and eventful day, or one so disturbed by personal tempests than was caused by the pooling bill, which is re- garded as one of the most important meas- ures hefore congress, and which suffered a ignal reverse, if not final defeat, as it will be difficult to revive it after the failure of its friends to command more than twenty- four votes to get it before the senate. Ine tense feeling was aroused by the effort to ke the bill up, and when Mr. Butler, in charge of it, intimated bad faith on the part of Mr. Gorman, the latter responding hotly, criticlsed the management of the bill and declared Mr. Butler was “piqued.” On the republican side, Mr. Chandler and Mr. Wol- cott were involved in sharp personal critle clsm as a result of their differences on the pooling bill. In the course of the discussion many senators warned the friends of the bill that it was useless to take it up, as it would be systematlcally “talked to death.
