His majesty has also rejected three monu- ments Intended for one of the Berlin parks on artistic grounds and, further, he has rejected the plans for one new bridge and the rejection of the plans for the other is expected. The papers argue that a strong feellng exists at the court against the municipality. Some of them connect the incldents with the re-election of Herr Kauffmann as vice mayor after the em- peror had once refused to confirm him. Bmperor Willlam has ordered that all the invitations forwarded to him to attend dedications, unveilings, etc, bo sent in future to the provincial presidents, or to the minister of worship, for examination Although the semi-official press denied the correctness of the story that the Ger- man government had hastened Prince Chun's departure, the Lokal Anzeiger again makes the assertion, as follows: Chvn Maa to “The hastening of Prince Chun's return and *the seleotion of his route correspond with the wish of the German government, which considers it important that the char- acter of the mission be not obscured and it would have regarded it as being a directly unfriendly attitude on the part of the Chi- nese government if it had permitted the misslon to visit other capitals and be don- 1zed According to the peace treaty, Ger- many alone could be regarded as the mis- sion’s destination." The statement in a Copenhagen paper that tiie chief subject of the meeting at Dantzig of the czar and Emperor Willlam was getting the German omperor's consent to Russia annexation of Manchuria, is dis- credited here and considered absurd. The tariff discussion continues in a more ltvely manner. The meetings of the Verin Feur, social politik, embracing all the leag- ing German economists, met at Munich this week and engaged in a lengthy discus- ston of the tarlft bill. The criticisms of the mensure were loudly applauded and the sentiment that “Germany’s export business 18 well sulted to be the foundation of our economic system” met with strong ap- proval.

DAL | JAMES MMAST | \} By combination of the South Omaha and |country delegates together with the Seventh {and Ninth wards of Omaha, this ticket was | nominated yesterday nfternoon by the re- | publican county convention. The makeup 8 naturally somewhat different from what was | to bave been expected as a result of the overwhelming victory of the regular organ- szatlon at the primaries tn the city on the preceding day. The rogulars had fairly car- ried the day and were entitled to the con- trol of the convention, but lost it through the shrewd manipulation of their opponsnts, alded by treachery in their own ranks, Primary Victory Discounted, Friday night MeBride, who was the clioica of the antis foi sheriff, had given up all {hope and solicited the privilege of retain- | ing his present vosition of county surveyor. He took under consideration a suggestion put forth by some of his friends seeking to harmonize opposing elements that he take the nowination for treasurer, for which there was no active candidate, but later, on Ireferving it to his delegation, declded to | stand out for sheriff or nothing. in the | meantime Judge Vinsonhaler and his friends | bad come to an agreement with the leaders of the city administration by which his re- { nomination was to be conceded in consid | eration of his aligning the Seventh ward delegation that he had carried with the !forces of the regulars. A committee con- | ststing of A. €. Foster and another mem- ber representing themselves to be the steer- |ing committee of the Seventh ward dele- | gation, declared that all they wanted was | Judge Vinsonhaler's success, and in the | presence of Judge Vinsonhaler gave a sol- emn pledge on thelr word of honor that tha Seventh ward votes would bhe cast sol- tdly on every proposition and candidate | With the other city delegations carried by the administration In return for Vinson haler's nominatfon by acclamation. It {s needless to say that the deliberate break- | g of this pledge accounts for the tranefer | of the control of the convention eachery Helped \ong. . Even then the regulars might have had | the convention except for the backeiiding | of certain members of delcgations they | bad elected. On tho first test vote which { turned on the seating of one or the other | of two contesting delegations from Clon- | tart, three members of Mr, Hoye's delega- tlon In the Second apd one member of the Eighth ward delogation voted with the antis. Had these four votes been true the |seating of the Clontart delegation would have given the regulare control of the con- vention by the same majority that the antis | finally wielded. i After the | awarded and [ from the re were no lon | of the n tion. contested the lar seats had hoen chalrmanship wrested organization the iines harply drawn and manry uinations were made hy Once the lines in their hands, completed their work by dellveriug | all tuture conventions snd the machinery of the party int hands of the country | delegntes, whose strength had | upon by them. This was don | an apportionment for the next county con | ventlon of ten for each ward In Omaha | elghteen for South Omahn and five for eah country precinet, leaving the city only ninety votes, as against eighty-eight for 8outh Omaha and the country, The rel- | ative proportions on the committes as re- | constituted are still more to the detriment of the city, glving Oma only twenty-seven members (o twenty-eight from the country, to say nothing of slx from South Omaha The election of Charles A. Goss cheirman and W.
