& 'THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1895. W HONORS T0 BISMARCK German Statesmen Visit the Aged Iron Chancellor. ALL PAY DUE HOMAGE. Although Nearly Eighty, the Prince Yet Knows How to Talk. BIG CFREMONIES IN ORDER. Throughout the Fatherland Birthday Anniversary Will Be Celebrated. the FRIEDRICHSRUHE, March 22.—Three special trains, having on board 400 mem- bers of the Reichstag and of the Prussian Diet, arrived here to-day and were received at the s 1, by a deputation headed by Count Herbert Bismarck. They were taken to the castle front, where they were received in a body by Prince Bismarck. Upon reaching the garden, the guests proceeded to the rear of the house, where there is a large balcony. Prince Bismarck, accompanied by his sons, his daughter and his on the terrace and were received with loud cheers by the visitors below. Spokes- men from the several branches of the Leg- islatnre made speeches, briefly conveying the fervent hope that Prince Bismarck would long be spared to enjoy his well- earned repose, Prince Bismarck, standing close to the stone balustrade, replied in a loud and clear voice, distinctly audible to all pres- ent. He spoke fornearly twenty minutes with wonderful animation, emphasizing his remarks with frequent gestures of the hand. The seli-deprecatory remarks with which he began were answered with loud shouts of © The Prince thanked the deputation for the high honor conferred upon him by their v and declared that the Sachsen- had °r before seen such a notable company. Then he said: “I shounld to some extent be ashamed of the great honor, b tended for me alo shed in w I feel that it is not in but also for the tas] ch I assisted and for the politicai objects we thereby gained.

When he n he sai ‘Above all I must th my”—(long pause) ‘“old Emperor William, of blessed s remark of the Prince was greeted prolonged applause. When quiet n restored Prince Bismarck said: uid I have done without him I should have remained in amp that the leaders of all for- ional efforts encountered, who were actuated by errors in that they ig- he power of German sovereignty nd dynasty. ‘From the best view, that was an error. Our dynasties are, thank God, still strong their roots, each in its own land, and this is especially the case with the great military force which the King of Prussia undoubtedly has the power to place at the rvice of the national will. That was my endeavor when I, in the capacity of Em- bassador to Frankfort, observed the state of the political situation. We, therefore, are indebted to the old Emperor and his allies for more than any Minister or Chancellor could have done for us. If the treaties signed by the Federal Government bad not borne their signature these trea- ties would not have existed. “If the King had not issued his mobil- ization order in 1866 and 1870, what would have happened? And you remember the dynasties have been far more injured by us in the course of history, not intention- ally, but as the result of passing events, than by any parliamentary faction in our peaceful times. [Laughter.] We fought fiercely with the Bavarians and Saxons, yet directly there was common need for the support of the Empire’s people, their assistance was given to us with the great- est readiness. [Loud cheers.] ““All political differences, all rivalriesand all open or secret intrigues belong only to certain party factions. [Laughter.] The others are more concerned with the na- tional interests which are connected with the sovereign and dynasty of the country. We have fought to such an extent that dogs have licked the blood of the slain, yet we now shake hands and march together against the enemies of our country. This is the way our dynasties act as compared with our party factions. I hope you will take a lesson therefrom. “‘As long as we are able to reckon upon this national sentiment, we need have no fear of our being involved in any difficulty which may arise from party division. I should be glad if more support was given to the national willin the Diet and indi- vidual States, just as it has been supported by the reigning dynasty. We cannot in Germany exist as two separate kingdoms as Sweden and Norway, which live together under one dynasty. We are Prussians, Bavarians and Saxons, and we are Ger- mans. To remain so we must study the country’s interests in our Diets, and especially regarding the policy to be pur- sued by the empire. We must specially not ignore this. “We must exercise control over our For- eign Minister in regard to the attitude he adopts in the Bundesrath and over the imperial policy he pursues. The whole national sentiment would be entirely changed if it should be possible to induce local patriotism to partake in the develop- ment of the nation to such an extent that German policy might also be discussed in the Prussian Diet, as well as the question of how the Foreign Minister shall be in- structed in his capacity as representative in the Bundesrath. Are we agreed upon this point? Such matters can all be easily discussed during the debate on the budget and the debate on official salaries. [Laugh- ter.] *‘1 shall be pleased if the policy of the empire is criticized in the Diet, and this I say not only of the Prussians, but also of the Saxon, Bavarian and other Diets. This would, in my opinion, be proof that those assemblies are interested in that pelicy— that they lived with it and expected some- thing from it. This interest hitherto has uot been shown to the extent I could have on-in-law, all in mourning, appeared | It is a source of im- | wished. The German, Prussian, Bavarian and German-Saxon Governments are now running side by side. They are in no way to be separated or to be regarded as sepa- rate, notwithstanding the pressure and re- markable friction existing on that subject. The Saxon representative must therefore always be instructed from the view point of Saxon interests in his relations to the Reichstag and Bundesrath. So must it be also with the representatives of Prussia and Bavaria. On the other hand. no Bavarian, Saxon or Prussian Minister can be permitted to free himself from alle- giance to the empire. [Applause.] “This inseparable connection of mutual interests has been provided for in the theo- retical bureaucraft fiction thattwo separate governments existed side by side. An im- perial government having no relations with the indvidual governments must be absolutely imaginary. It could have no possible existence, at any rate, according to treaty provisions. Certainly such a state of affairs might exist for a little time, but there is no real ground for it in the constitution and therefore—"” Here the speaker paused and then added: “Gentlemen, I could say much moreif T were strong and rough. I am a weary old man. [Loud cries of “No, no.””] I am grateful for your patient attention and still more for the honor you have shown me. 1 regret that I am not in a position to work with you in Parliament, [cries of “Not as much as we do”] but I am not strong enough to stand the conflicts of life in Berlin. [Much laughter.] In many respects I have become old, but at the same time I have obtained comfort and desire to close my life in the house I now inhabit, but my thoughts perhaps are more with you than is fit for a man of my age [cries of “No, no.”]; but I cannot sud- denly abandon all my old thoughts simply because I have grown old and am in bad health. “You have not forsaken me and I cannot give better expression to the feeling that I | have inspired by requesting you to con- | tinue to think of the empire, even in the Prussian Diet, and to not forget that when there you are guarantees for the em- pire, and that the King is also your Em- peror and has duties toward the empire and toward the federal states. Remember, also, that you must help him to execute not only a policy for Brandenburg or Prus- | sia, but also an imperial German policy. | With this thought I beg you to join me in | cheers for his Majesty. Long live his Majesty, the Emperor and King.” The toast was received with thunders of applause, and when the enthusiasm had subsided three cheers were given for Prince Bismarck, wno in response said : ‘“‘Gentlemen, I thank you for the honor you have done me. I thank youagainand | T wish that I could give youalla bed, but was obliged to take this house as I found t, and I never thought I should end my days here. I have always felt too old to | undertake additions to the buildings. I can even console myself with the senti- ment that for a loving pair there is room | enough in the smallest cottage [great | laughter], since there is not room enough all love each other.” This happy response from the old Chan- i cellor, whose eyes were now twinkling with | merrimenit, was greeted with the loudest | and most prolonged applause. | The crowd then gave three tremendous “hochs” for Prince Bismarck. Then | Prince Bismarck led the cheers for the | Emperor, | which were enthusiastically | given. At the luncheon Count Stolberg- Wernigerode, who recently resigned the | prosidency of East Prussia, proposed Prince Bismarck’s health in a short speech. The special train returned to Berlin at 3:30 ». M. Emperor William is expected here to visit Prince Bismarck to-morrow, and a brilliant military suite will accom- pany him. Prince Bismarck received the deputations to-day despite the unceasing warnings of his physician, Dr. Sweninger, and his secretary, Dr. Chrysander, and he | will practically celebrate his eightieth birthday with the whole of the German people. Their desire to testify their love and ad- miration of the unifier of Germany is spon- taneous and general throughout the coun- generals of the German army will wait on Bismarck April 1 as the bearer of good wishes and likewise of a fine gift. Splen- didly mounted addresses will be presented to him on behalf of the Conservative, Na- tional, Liberal and Anti-Semitic parties on April 1. The National Liberal Club will also give a banquet at the Kaiserhof Aprii 1, at which the eulogy on Bismarck will be pro- nounced by Dr. Boetticher, the leader of the party. The Conservatives will have a ‘‘commers” at the Feen Palast at the same time, and the Bismarck committee will have a similar celebration, but even on a larger scale, on the evening of hisbirthday. The grandest celebration of all seems to be the one arranged to take place around the vicinity of the Germania monument, in the Niederwald on the Rhine, which will be participated in by representativesof thirty- six cities in the Rhenish district, men be- longing to every political party. The central part of the celebration will be at the foot of the monument itself. A grand ‘“‘commers” in the evening and the illumi- nation of the hills and mountain peaks near by, together with great fireworks on the Rhine, will also take place. In the Black Forest similar rejoicing will occur. All the summits of the mountains in that region will show bonfires on the evening of March 31. Hamburg’s mu- nicipal celebration, outside of that ar- ranged for by the German university stu- dents, will be very extensive. A political committee has assumed charge of a “‘com- mers” to which everybody is invited on the night of March 30. On the night following this there will be great fireworks; on the night of April1, a torchlight possession in which 6000 will share, is to proceed to Friedrichsruhe. The Society of Arts and Sciences will un- dertake a procession to Friedrichsruhe on the birthday morning and serenade the Prince, and on April 2 the same society will witness at a special reserved perform- ance in the Stadt Theater, a patriotic drama, being written for the occasion. Many other cities have made similar arrangements. Besides undertaking a pil- grimage to Friedrichsruhe on April 1, in which some 1200 of the corps students will join, the latter will also lay the foundation- stone to a Bismarck monument on the summit of Rudelsburg in Thuringia, to which the Emperor has contributed 1000 marks. Ahead of Time. CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 25.—Leo Wilson of Cincinnati, the “dead broke" pedestrian who is engaged in the task of walking to the four corners of the United States, arrived in Cleveland to-day from Maine, twenty-four days ahead of time. — Two Propeller-Blades Broken.

LAWS NOT TO BE SET ASIDE. The Dominlon Cabinet Appoints a Man More Pliable to Its Wishes. MINNEAPOLIS, March 25.—A special to the Tribune from Winnipeg, Manitoba, says: The remedial order of the Governor- General in council, calling upon the Gov- ernment of Manitoba to restore to the Roman Catholics their parochial, or sep- arate, schools, reached the city this morn- ing. It was addressed.to the Lieutenant- Governor and by him was transmitted to the Legislature, which was sitting in readi- ness to receive it. The Legislature was crowded with an intensely earnest gather- ing when the important document was de- livered. It was voluminous and reviewed all the evidence taken before the Privy Council of England, which body declared that the Catholics of Manitoba had a griev- ance and that the Governor-General in council had the power and authority to grant redress by a remedial order. The tenor and langunage of the order leave] no opening for compromise. Itis a command to Manitoba to submit and plainly says | that if the Legislature does not obey, the Governor-General, or more accurately speaking, the Dominion Government, will | enforce its authority. No definite action was taken to-night. After the order had beén read it was laid on the table for future consideration. That the order will be rejected may be taken for certain. Of the forty members of the Legislature only four or five will vote against the rejection, these four of five be- ing Catholics and representing purely Catholic constituencies. Premier Greenway, being interviewed to- night, said: ‘“We earnestly desire to act with the constitution, but let all the peo- ple know that this trouble is not of our own making. We claim the right to make {our own laws, and this right we will not give up without a struggle. The Governor- General’s order will be rejected in its en- tirety. A long step will then have been made in the perilous journey upon which the Government at Ottawa has set out. The Dominion Parliament will then be armed with jurisdictior to impose upon Manitoba a law to which an averwhelm- ing majority of the people are opposed. “It will be Gladstone said, to think once, think twice, think thrice before coercing a loyal and law-abiding community. Few in numbers though they may be, they will never sub- mit to this unjust coercion. This is a struggle for our rights. We are a free people; we will not be made slaves. We will not have the laws which we have passed deliberately and with full knowl- edge of our own conditions destroyed by a | body to whom these conditions are un- known, acting without inquiry and with- out adequate consideration.” A sensational feature of this trouble to- day was the announcement that the Dominion Cabinet, which has just passed the remedial order, had appointed one of its members, Hon. H. A. Chatterson, Min- ister of Militia, to take the place of Premier Greenway. This change is believed by the Manitoba Government to mean that the Do- minion authorities want a man as Gover- nor more pliable to its wishes. THE REMEDIAL ORDER. There Is No Question but That It Will be Rejected. =WINNIPEG, March 25.—The remedial order forwarded by the Dominion Govern- ment to the Manitoba Legislature was re- ceived here to-day, and requests that the Manitoba Government re-enact the school law of 1890, abolishing the Roman Catholic schools and that they give; First—The right to build, maintain, equip, manage, conduct and support Roman Catholic schools in the manner provided for by the statutes which were repesled by the acts of 1890. Second—the right to share proportionately in any grant made out of the public funds for the purposes of education. Third—Theright of exemption of such Roman Catholic schools from all payment or contribu- tion to the support of any other schools. The debate on the order will probably not begin in the Legislature until Wednes- day. There is no question but that it will be rejected and returned to Ottawa. JAPAN NOW VERY SORRY. REGRETS THE ATTACK MADE ON PEACE ENVOY LI Hung CHANG. IMPERIAL SURGEONS AND NURSES SENT TO ATTEND THE WOUNDED VICEROY. LONDON, March 25.—The Times has this dispatch from Kobe, which will be published to-morrow: Li Hung Chang is making good progress toward recovery from the effects of the bullet wound in the face inflicted yesterday by Moyama Kokunosuki. The wound has developed no dangerous symptoms. The would-be assassin is reported to be a. lunatic. He has a criminal record and has served a term of imprisonment. A Hongkong dispatch to the Times says that precautions against a Japanese attack have been taken at Foo Chow, Amoy and Swatow. The harbor of Amoy has been planted with torpedoes, and it is thought probable that the Japanese will make an attempt to capture that place. The Chinese steamers are unable to enter the harbors of Tamsui, in northern For- mosa, owing to the torpedoes placed there. ise for Parliament, as Mr. |¢® to attend him. Lettersand telegrams ex- pressing sympathy are pouring in from all directions. Resolutions have been submitted to the Japanese Diet regretting the attack upon Viceroy Li Hung Chang, who was shot and wounded in the face yesterday at Simon- eseki. TIENTSIN, March 25.—The authorities here have officially notified the Consuls of their intention to block the Peiho River on the appearance of Japanese warships. WASHINGTON, March 25.—Informa- tion coming to the Chinese Legation is to the effect that Li Hung Chang’s wound is not dangerous, except as complications may develop. It is in the fleshy part of the face, but fortunately no part of the skull has been fractured or any vital organs touched. Prince Li's advanced age and several constitutional disorders, which make him almost an invalid, may aggravate a nowise harmful wound. On his arrival at Shimon- seki he was too sick to leave the ship which brought him. He had to be carried about, this being a necessity in his case as well as an honor due his rank, Officials of the Japanese legation say the offender will be charged with treason, as the assault is not only against the person of Li Hung Chang, but against the Chinese Government. 1t is probable also that the trial will be by court-martial, and convic- tion by court-martial would mean that the offender would be shot. Diplomats here are inclined to believe that the entire peace negotiations may be broken off by the assault, by affording a pretext for European intervention. Li himself will prevent such a failure, how- ever, if it be possible. Officials here regard it as settled that China and Japan have reached an under- standing by which the former will extend her territory forth from Vladivestock, so as to keep the harbor open the year round This has been an acquisition Russia has long sought, as it gives an eastern outlet to the great Siberian railroad WAR MATERIAL FOR CUBA. ARMS TAKEN FROM FLORIDA BY FILIBUSTERS IN A YACHT. INSURGENTS HAVE NoT YET TAKEN STEPS FOR A PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. TAMPA, Fla., March 25.—A party of hunters who arrived at Palm Beach last night brings news that a filibustering craft was loaded with arms yesterday be- tween there and Santa Ana. They say that yesterday they came upon a party of men putting off in a boat to a yacht which was standing to about a mile off the coast. The boatmen were greatly ex- cited by the appearance of the hunters and rowed rapidly to the vessel. Through a glass the hunters saw boxes hoisted up the vessel's side. When all the boxes had been transferred the men clambered up the yacht's side and she steamed away south. The hunters began an investigation, and soon found signs of a camp in the scrub, and also recent excavations. They dug into the sand and unearthed a long, arrow box, which was found to be full of rifles and machetes. They brought some of these arms here. The place where the discovery was made is a lonely spot on the east coast where, but for an accident, a cargo of arms might be lgaded without interference. It is supposed these arms were shipped here by rail and secretly transferred to the place where the vessel was seen. The hunters are confident that the yacht was in the employ of the Cuban revolutionists. Marti, Gomez and Maceo are not yet in Cuba, says a New York capitalist who ar- rived here last night by the steamer Oli- vette from Cuba. He has been in the Santiago district for three months on business for his firm, which has great interests in that section. He says he has many acquaintances on both sides and has been allowed to go freely through the lines of both the Gov- ernment and insurgent forces. He says he has not been able to hear anything of Marti Gomez or Maceo. So far as he knows no republican or provincial government has been formed by the insurgents, nor could he hear of any steps being taken in that direction. Letters received here by the steamer which arrived last night state that insur- gent bands are active in the vicinity of Sante Spirite. The Government rumor that Guilermon is dead is untrue. Quintin Bandert with 150 insurgents met 300 Spanish troops between Tiariba and El Cobra, killing twenty-five Spaniards at the first volley. The Spaniards fled in dismay, the insurgents continuing their march un- molested. Letters estimate that in two months there will be 25,000 insurgents fighting. e RETURNED A TRUE BILL. The Grand Jury Indicted Queensberry for Libeling Oscar Wilde. LONRON, March 25.—In the ola Bailey to-day the Recorder, 8ir Charles Hall, in charging the Grand Jury, referred to the libel proceedings instituted by Oscar Wilde against the Marquis of Queensberry. He said that if the Marquis wrote the words itisclaimed he did upon the card produced, The coolies empioyed on the wharves in Hongkong have gone on a strike. A number of soldiers and convicts are em- ployed in searching and loading vessels. YOKOHOMA, March 25.—S8urgeons Sato and Ishimuro are attending Li Hung Chang by imperial command. Li Hung Chang objects to the extraction of the bul- let, which lies a centimetre under his left eye. The wound is three centimetres deep. The Empress of Japan has sent two nurses whether he was justified or notin so doing, it constituted a libel. Moreover, the Re- corder added, the defendant intended to plead justification as his defense. The Grand Jury eventually returned a true bill against the Marquis. A dispatch from Monte Carlo to the Ob- server says that after Oscar Wilde and Lord Alfred Douglass. the second son of the Marquis of Queensberry, arrived at the place recently they went to a hotel. But after staying there a day the proprietor, at the request of the other English visiiors, informed them that their rooms were en- gaged. Both Mr. Wilde and Lord Alfred are now in London. e IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES, TOO. Everywhere Germans Are Anmious to Honor the Aged Statesman., BERLIN, March 25.—In foreign coun- tries, too, Germans have been anxious to do honor to the old statesman. The Ger- mans of Odessa have started a Bismarck fund which is to be used in assisting help- less widows and orphans. In St. Peters- burg, Moscow and other cities of Russia, funds have been collected to present Bis- marck with a fine gift. The Parliamentary deputation returned to Berlin this evening and all the members expressed themselves as highly satisfied with their reception. During the luncheon at the Prince’s residence the old ex-Chan- cellor was in high spirits and he led the conversation in an animated and brilliant. manner. He reminded the guests that the year 1895 marks the jubilee of his entrance into Parliamentary service. ————— An Oilmill Burned. GREENVILLE, Miss.,, March 25—Fire to-day destroyed the Planters Oilmill, owned by Delta planters and merchants. Loss, $190,000; insurance, $72,000. THE [DEAL CHURCH OF THE FOTURE. DISCUSSED BY SEVERAL LEADERS OF WIDELY DIVERGENT DENOMINATIONS AT THE UNITARIAN DINNER. ProF. HowisoN TAKES IssuE WITH ProF. LE CONTE AS TO THE ORIGIN OF MAN. The annual dinner of the Unitarian Club of California was held last night at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland,and brought together not only such a number as to fill the great room given over to it, but to fill it with very distinguished people. There were Professor Le Conte, Professor Howison, Rev. Dr. Stebbins, Senator Per- kins, John P. Irish and other well-known men on the list of speakers alone—men of very divergent lines of thought, some of them. The coming religion was the topic for discussion and after the discussion of an elaborate dinner it was taken up, with Professor Joseph Le Conte striking the first and the key note. He directed him- self specially to the subject of the ‘“‘per- manent and the transient in religion.” He began by saying that he would not touch upon the transient part of his topic. The permanent in religion could be covered in three thoughts, God, immortality and hu- man freedom. Without moral freedom there was no virtue, he said. He would add a fourth tenet: a belief in God and in man as a son of God. There was the first God—the question of a personal and yet an imminent God. The atheist would have us believe in something lower than a personality—a mere indefinite touch that pervades nature, determining all things by necessity. But he (the speaker) took the higher plane; something above a personal God, a super-personality, not the incomplete but the completed person- ality—the personality of Deity. He had been told upon entering the room that the word evolution was not to be mentioned there that night and thereupon went on and mentioned it. There was at first, he said, an affluence from God which pervaded all nature. Then there was the first germ of life, of man—the first glimpse of the personality, the Son of God. After a long time there wasa quasi personality, then gradually this became the real personal man. “Shall we stop?” he inquired. “Thus we came down trom the hand of God, be- gotten of God:; developed in the womb of nature we shall go onward and upward to his God’s own level. ““What of the relations of God to man? Does it not go without saving that a father shall reveal himself to his child? The revelation is in different degrees and kind. Every manifestation of God is a revelation, but the highest is the revelation of spirit 55 sniri i Hatl EPnecmitar Svay for us but he will teach usand show us the way.” Professor Howison followed by way of answering Professor Le Conte, He felt deeply on the subject of the religion of the future, he said, and felt concerned as to what should be left of the religions of the present. The real religion of the future he thought had been long with us, however. He spoke of Professor Le Conte as a practical Christian, but his doctrine ot the origin of man he said was hopelessly at variance with the Christian belief in God, with the belief in the divine sonship of man, with his own belief in the moral free- dom of man. Itis impossible to reconcile this belief with the other, that the soul of man is the product of slow evolution. What is the soul? Where does it abide? You would say at once in our own bodies. Isitso? Can you measure the soul then? Is it so many feet tall and so many wide? The speaker was in the midst of hisar- gument, which attacked the strongholds of much that is claimed as Unitarian, when his time elapsed and he was compelled to leave it unfinished. Rev. George R. Dobson of Alameda spoke upon the ideal church, which he said must throw a halo around all that is best; they would not slay the prophets, but would leave the old churches which stand for fixity and would look straight forward and make war upon chaos. “Science,”’ he said, “‘is the law that opens for us the door into the truth of God.” Rev. Mr. Rader, associate pastor of the First Congregational Church, was intro- duced as a conservative man, but repudi- ated that characteristic at once by declar- ing that if he was asked to say in the fewest words what he thought of the church of the future he would be inclined to say that it would not be Congregational, but Unitarian. “‘Science,” he said, “has iven us a new church, a new pulpit re- figion. a new Christ. This is the church of the future.” % i Rev. Dr. Stebbins, paying a beautiful tribute to Professors Le Conte and How- ison and their science, said he had never vet seen an account of the origin of things that satisfied his soul. Christianity, he said, could not be defined. It was a method of the divine life of man. The will of the present is a pledge of the future, and character is destiny. - John P. Irish, speaking to “The Ideal Home,” said he thought it the broadest topic of them all. Itgrewout of an old love-song and shoald last forever, a monu- ment to those two whose undying love and plighted faith had founded it. Rev. A. B. Payne of Berkeley, Senator Perkins and othérs made short addresses— necessarily short, as the San Franciscans had to hurry for the late boats to the city. Ix perfect harmony and unanimity rises the chorus of praise for Dr. Price’s Baking Powder. SLATTERY AT MEMPHIS. Trouble Narrowly Averted During His Lecture There. MEMPHIS, Tenn., March 25.—Ex-Priest Slattery lectured at the Auditorium to- night. Y us - The meeting came near ending in a seri- ous disturbance and but for-the ex-priest’s hurried exit from the city while the excite- ment was at its height he might have en- countered rather severe treatment. There was no sign of disorder until near the close of the lecture, when a man in the center of the house arose and excitedly exclaimed: ‘“You're a liar against re- ligion.”” Half the audience were on their feet in an instant, but before the disturber could say anything he was grabbed by an officer and arrested. After order was restored Slattery concluded his remarks without further interruption. Slattery took the first train for the South. —_—— GENERAL MORGAN'S ESCAPE. Judge Hoffman Also Discredits the Story of Radebaugh. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, March 25. — The Telegram to-day publishes a letter from Judge B. F. Hoffman of Pasadens, Cal., which emphatically discredits the recent story of the Columbus man that the rebel General John Morgan was secretly re- leased from the Ohio penitentiary as a result of an understanding between Secre- tary Stanton and Governor Tod. Judge Hoffman says: “I don’t believe this yarn about Radebaugh. I was Tod’s private secretary, and would most certainly have heard or known something of such a mat- ter. The prison cells were examined where General Morgan and seven or eight others went down imto the vault underneath through holes cut in the floor and under the outside prison wall, through a tunnel. ‘When outside they climbed up the prison gate and let themselves down with ropes.” e, ABUSED 4 RIVAL’S EMPLOYE. Newspaper Language That Caused an Interesting Test Case. WASHINGTON, March 25.—A case which has just been docketed in the United States Supreme Court will probably test the question of length tb which a newspaper can go in the use of objectionable lan- guage and still find access to the mails. The case is that of the United States vs. Mark Swearingen, and comes to the Su- preme Court on allegations of error in the United States Circuit Coort of Kansas, which found Swearingen, who was the editor of a paper published at Burlington, Kans., guilty of the improper use of the mails. The offense consisted in the publi- cat}on of an article abusing an employe of | & rival paper, in which language was used | which the postal authorities pronounced obscene. e COSTA RICA’S ENTERPRISE. Products to Be Displayed at the Cotton States’ Exposition. ATLANTA, Ga., March 25. — Advices received from Costa Rica are to the effect that the Government has appointed Theo- dore Mangle commissioner for an exhibit to be made at the Cotton States’ and In- ternational Exposition. The commissioner has applied for space upon which to erect a pavilion in which the products of Costa Rica will be placed. This is similar to the exhibit made by Costa Rica at the world’s fair, where the little republic took off fifty- five premiums. The commissioner is of the opinion thata large number of exhibits can be had from the coffee planters and factories of Costa Rica. FOUGHT IN THE EXCHANGE. CHICAGO SPECULATORS COME TO BLOwS OVER A DEAL IN WHEAT. DURING THE SCUFFLE A PistoL Is DISCHARGED AND THE COMBAT- ANTS ARE ARRESTED. CHICAGO, March 26.—W. H. Jennings, proprietor of the Equitable Produce and Stock Exchange, and Horace Parker came t0 blows to-day on the trading-floor of the exchange over a deal which Parker had with the proprietor in wheat. Parker during the scuffle drew a revolver. The men fell to the floor and the revolver was discharged. The bullet lodged in the wall and did not injure any one. Officer Laughran heard the shot and rushed to the scene. He placed both men under ar- rest. Parker admitted having drawn a revol- ver, but said he did so to frighten Jen- nings. He said the discharge of the re- volver was purely accidental. Both men were locked up at the Harri- son-street station. The exchange is in the Grand Pacific Hotel, and the report of the revolver created a lively panic for a few moments in the hotel office. _ TO PRESS THE CLAIM. Sir Edward Grey Gives Parliament In- formation About Nicaragua.
