2 2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1895. LS e e e e EMPEROR AAD PRINCE Von Hohenlohe Joined Germany’s Ruler at Dantzic. DEFIANT TO WILLIAM. The Chancellor Refused to Re- introduce the Anti-Revolu-~ tion Bill. THEN THREATENED TO RESIGN. | Other "Stories of the Conference Are That the Kaiser Made Im- portant Concessions. BERLIN, GermANy, Sept. 21.—Prince von Hohenlohe, who joined the Emperor on the imperial train at Dantzic on Sep- tember 16, in obedience to the Kaiser’s summons to the Chancelior to report to him the results of the Prince’s mission to St. Petersburg, had a conference with his Majesty covering three days, each day’s audience being prolonged for several hours. After the conference the Chancellor pro- ceeded to bis seat at Aussee, Austria, the Emperor starting at the same time for Rominton. Prior to taking his departure from Ber- lin, the Emperor ordered Count Philip von the German Em dor to . to accompany him. As Count von Eulenburg is generally regarded as an enemy of Prince von Hohenlohe and com- monly designated as his successor in the chancelry, new impetus is given to the prevailing reports that a ministerial crisis is imminent. It is commonly rumored that at the conference between the Em- peror and the Chancellor, the Kaiser per- sisted in his demand that the anti-revolu- tion bill be reintroduced in the Reichstag, despite the Chancellor's deprecation of such a course, whereupon Prince Hoheniohe plainly refused to pur- sue the policy suggested by the Emperor, and intimated that he. would resign. There is no stamp of authenticity on these reports, but they certainly bear marks of verisimilitude and are generaliy credited. On the other hand to-day’s issue of the Munich Neuste Nachrichten, which is pre- sumed to be an authority, asserts that such a crisis as above described did exist, and that the Chancellor succeeded in con- g the Emperor that the enactment exceptional laws was altogether needl The paper also declares that Prince Hohenlohe proposed that rather than to attempt to pass any such laws, it would be better to introduce the Bavarian Vereingesetz, a law applying directly to secret and other societies and organiza- cns into Prussi According to Neuste Nachrichten the Kaiser acceded to this, and subsequently told his entourage that as long as Prince Hohenlohe should | dedicate himself to his country, ! he Emnveror, would not sever himseit .rom | him. As far as the anti-revolution bill is concerned) that is very likely true, but in diplomatic circles 1t is known that the in- terview between the Emperor and the Chancellor really concerned foreign mat- ters, such as the relations between Japan and Russia, the new Russo-Chinese loan, and England’s supposed hostile attitude toward Russia. Just before leaving on Thursday the Emperor took luncheon with Count von Hatzfeidt-Wildenburg, the Ger- man Embassador to Great Britain. All that can be rationally said about the political situation, is that a much closer entente between Germany and England upon ail questions, including those con- cerning the interests of both countries in Africa, is expected. In the preparations for the opening of the coming session of the Reichstag, Count Posado Wehrener, Imperial Minister of the Treasury, is reshaping various economic bills. In the course of this work the Minister has been sounding the Federal Government as to their views in regard to a scheme of taxation involving the co- operation of the southern States. Count Posado w the various political lead- ers of these States and received from them assurances of support of his plans for a new tobacco bill, the main feature of whichisan | increased duty on imported tobacco and cigars, while there shall be no manufactur- ing tax upon cheap cigars of home make. The comments of the German press upon the It of Victor Emmanuel into Rome are mostly sympathetic, but are not stron marked and are generally devoted to con- gratulations on the progress Italy has made since she became unified. Ger- mania, the Catholic organ, expresses the sentiment of the entire body of German Catholics by declaring tbat the celebra- tions ought not to have been held. “The robbery of the church,” the paper con- tinues, ““was for a time successful, but it could no more eventually succeed than could the robbery of Almighty God. Both the Pope and the King will yet see the triumph of the church over its worst enemy."” The North German Gazette admits that devout Catholics cannot appreciate the morality of the act, though it raised the | nation by giving it possession of its his toric and natural capital. “Time,” the Gazette adds, ““will reconcile Catholics to an event which will ultimately increase the prestige and power of the Vatican.” The Italians residing in Berlin, who are mostly workingmen, will hola fetes to- night, consisting of banquets ana concerts in various beer-halls. The warmest con- gratulations to the Italians appropriately comes through the Hamburger Nachrich- ten in the shape of a greeting from Prince Bismarck to rremier Crispi. The paper says: “If there is anything at which Italy ought to rejoice it is the manner in which she solved the problem of maintaining the liberty and dignity of the Pope and at the same time preserving her national dignity. May she, under the leadership of the na- tional dynasty, surmount all difficulties and always advance.” Baron von Hammerstein, the deposed and absconding editor-in-chief of the Kreuz Zeitung, has replied to the charges of forgery and embezzlement made against him, declaring that he holds re- ceipts in full for all the disbursements made by him, and asserting that an exam- ination of his accounts wiil prove that the accusations against him are impossible. He further denies that the letters pub- lished in te Vorwaerts in regard to him- self and Dr. Stoecker, the court chaplain, are authentic. He says he never com- municated anything whatever to the Vor- waerts. The time for the sale by auction of the effects of Baron von Hammerstein in Berlin has been fixed for Monday. The ian fetes commemorating the entry | 1y | sale will take place under the order of the Bank of Brunswick and Hanover, which claims 500,000 marks. The sale is expected to yield this amount. The programme of the Volkspartti for its coming congress, which will be held in Munich, has been recast. The principal feature of the programme is the deciara- tion that the basic principles of the party are ‘‘equality and liberty.”” Herr Friedrich, a well-known lawyer of Leipsic, and Herr Dethardt, his manager, have been arrested in that city upon charges of blackmail.

ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 21.—An army of Federal veterans swept down on Atlanta | for another time last night and this morn- ing, headed by five generals of the Union | army and by the Governors of six States. | Blue and Gray day at the exposition was | & success. | There are in Atlanta to-day six Gov- | ernors of as many great Stafes, each ac- | companied by his staff. Governor Me- | Kinley of Ohio, Governor Morton of New York, Governor Woodbury of Vermont, Governor Werts of New Jersey, Governor Holcomb of Nebraska and Governor Mc- Intire of Colorado are the executives who | have honored the occasion with their | presence. The Grand Army of the Republic is represented by no less a distinguished list of generals than Schofield, Dodge, Howard, Horace Porter and Williamson. The Con- federate legions are headed by General James Longstreet, the grizzled hero of | Chickamauga. The city is thronged with | the old soldiers of both armies, and stirring scenes and incidents can be noted all over the city as well as in the limits of the Piedmont Park. This morning the entertainment com- | mittee of the exposition directors met the | Governors and the members of their staffs and accompanied them to the exposition grounds. Carriages were provided and the visitors were taken around the grounds to the various buildings. Afterward they were taken to the Piedmont Club, where lunch was served. After the lunch, Gov- | ernors Morton, McKinley and Werts and General Fairchild made short speeches. The Governors spent the remainder of the day viewing the exposition grounds, All of them will leave for their homes to-night i or to-morrow. Lieutenant-General J. M. Schofield, com- mander-in-chief of the United States army, was in attendance to-day. He is | en route home from the exercises attend- | ant upon the opening of Chickamauga | Park. The general and his party came to | Atlanta last night in a private car, and at | 11 o’clock their car was placed on a side- | track at the exposition grounds, the gen- | eral attending the Blue and Gray exer- ; cises at the grounds this afternoon. | The following members of his staff ac- companied General Schofield: Colonel J.

A, R. have arrived in this city. From | the surrounding country thousands of | Confederate Veterans came to attend the reunion exercises, which occurred at 3 o’clock this afternoon at the auditorium at the grounds. R, TRAIN-KOBBERS SENTENCED. “Rid*” Wallace Given Eight Years in the Penitentiary. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Sept. 21. In Division 2 of the District Court to-day Judge Harris sentenced three of the Victor (Colo.) train-robbers, one bank- robber and others to various terms at Can- yon City. Two of the train-robbers, Bob Taylor and O. C. Wilder, were given ten years each and *‘Kid” Wallace eight years. The first two had nothing to say why sentence should not be pronounced, but “Kid” Wallace asked for a Reform School sen- tence on tne ground that he was but 17 years old. The court, however, decided that the “Kia’s’’ conduct since coming to the State and his facil ty for bandling fire- arms were not in his favor. This is the second trial of the men, the first taking place in Denver and being prosecuted by the United States Government, but owing to the ignorance of the jury on law points it proved abortiv s et I Collision on the Reading. READING, Pa., Sept. 21.—A collision occurred on the Reading and Wolmsdorf electric railroad at noon to-day. Presi- dent John A.

BRAND AGAINST FIELD. Light Winds and Fair Play Were the Features of the Contest. SPRUCE IV AND ETHELWYNN. One Pleasant Incident to Indicate the Fairness of the Cup Racers. CENTER ISLAND, Ovster Bay, L. I, Sep 'No race” 1s the result of the opening day of the series between J. Ar- thur Brand’s half-rater Spruce IV, repre- senting the Minima Yacht Club of Eng- land, and C. J. Field’s Ethelwynn of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club, the latter be- ing the defender of the Seawanhaka-Corin- thian Yacht Club’s international challenge trophy for small boats not exceeding fifteen feet, racing length. The challenger must win three out of five races of twelve miles each in order to take the cup. To-day’s effort was to sail a windward and leeward race, the measured distance being three miles east by north before the wind, thence beating to the starting point, the course to be gone over twice to com- | plete the twelve miles. The force of what little wind there was from west by south &t the time of beginning the race is best told by the fact that seventy-five minutes were needed to cover the three miles be- fore the wind, and the fluky character of what breeze there was afterward by the fact that during the next two hours and a half the racers covered but a little over a mile of the actual distance and toward the shore instead of toward the starting point. Wi the competing boats finished scarcely more than a quarter of a day’s work, the showing made by the Spruce IV was highly creditable to Skipper Brand, who sailed his boat in strange watersina manner to win the highest praise from all onlookers at all familiar with the han- dling of small craft. An especially pleasant incident was no- ticed when the Spruce IV, having turned on the mark and having started on the windward work, passed the Ethelwynn, still reaching for the flag to finish the first leg. Although the Spruce IV was on the starboard tack, close hauled and having the right of way, vet it was observed that Mr. Brand kept off and passed to leeward, thus leaving the Lthelwynn free to hold her course steadily for the mark. By the few who noticed it Skipper Brand was praised for a clever act. Unsatisfactory as was the effort to make arace, it can fairly be said that taken for what it may be worth, to-day’s perform- ance is to the credit of tLe challenger, and that, too, under conditions not dis- similar to some that prevailed during the trial races in July, which, then, were ap- parently just tothe liking of the Ethel- wynn. But the result on Monday, when the sec- ond effort to sail the first race of the series will be made, may be entirely different. At present the Minima Club representa- tive seemed to have increased his stock of confidence in the ultimate success of the Spruce IV. The details of the abortive attempt to make a race are but the story of a drifting match. e NOTED EASTERN RACES. Clifford Won the Oriental Handicap at Gravesend. GRAVESEND RACETRACK, N. Y., Sept. 21.—Though the weather was very hot here to-day, the attendance was large and the track fast. The programme was a brilliant one, the features of which were the races for the Oriental handicap for three-vear-olds and upwards, a mile and a quarter, and the Atlantic stakes, a heavy-weight handicap for two-year-olds and upward at five furlongs. In the former event there was much specunlation owing to the presence of Henry of Navarre and Clifford among the candidates, the first named being the favorite at odds of 6 to5and the latter at 4 to 1. To a good start Sir Walter set a scorching *pace clear around to the homestretch, when Clifford closed up on him and went to the front. ir Walter then dropped back and Sir cess chalienged ( f}urd, but the latter easily shook off the challenger, and, coming away, won well within himself by an open length. Sir Excess, who eased up in the last few strides, beat Henry of Navarre a length and a half for second money. The race for the Atlantic stakes waswon by Rey del Carreras, who rushed to the front at the start and led thrnufihout, pass- ing under the wire three lengths ahead of Appiause, who was two lengths ahead of Handspring.

AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 21.—The Austin Ministerial Association had a rousing big meeting this morning anent the Corbett- Fitzsimmons prize-fight. They adopted resolutions commendatory of the Gov- ernor’s actions in the ast and present and pledged him their moral support, and 1if need be, the personal presence and physical assistance of the ‘‘brave, heroic and law-abiding men” from every part of the State to sap- press the fight. ey back him up in his | determination not to accept Judge Hart's decision as final, and contend that if he will keep a stiff upper lip and stop the fight, they will stay with him “till the last armed foe expires.” (S ET EE SAN JOAQUIN FAIR RACES. 0ld Boodle Beaten by Iago in the Un- finished Trot. STOCKTON, CarL., Sept. 21. — To-day closed the season’s racing at Agricultural Park. The attendance was good, but the track was slow on account of the heavy wind. Including the unfinished 2:15 trot three favorites won. As predicted Iago won from Boodle. Time, 2:154. In the hali-mile dash for two-year-old maidens Jim Bozeman finished first, but he was disqualitied by the judges for foul- ing Nevere on the stretch and Nevere was given the race. Lady Gray, the favorite, came in third. There was much dissatis- faction expressed at this decision of the judges. The 2:15 class pace for a purse of $1000 was declared off on account of the fullness of the card. In the butchers’ race Louis Gerlach’s sorrel gelding won both heats in 2:50 and 2:42 respectively. Charles Fink Bohner’s Genera!and Fren Sievers' Frank 8 were distanced in the second heat. The purse was for $150. The racing end of this year’s fair was not nearly up to tiie average.

NAPA, CaL., Sept. 21.—The bicyr?e races to-day drew the largest crowd of the meet. Several hundred enthusiastic people attended. Friday evening’s and this morning’s trains brought quite a delega- tion of bicyclists from San Francisco and Oakland. The races were more interesting and the prizes of more vajue than on any day of the meet. The vrizes, which have all consisted of diamond studs, have been given to the winners immediately after each race, and this has pleased them very much. Wilber Edwards will leave Napa with a good share of the diamonds, baving received first or second in every race he entered. Most of the wheelmen will leave Napa to-morrow. Foster, Jones, Nissen, Cushing, Smith and several other riders will stay over until Monday night, as Foster will attempt to break the one-mile paced world’s record. The north wind blew a gale all the after- noon, which accounts for the slow time. To-day’s programme consisted of five events: Half-mile scratch, class A—Won by Byrne, Bates second.

A Wyoming Statesman Exposes Gigantic Fraud.” CHEYENNE, Wro., Sept. 21.—Senator Robert Foote of Johnson County has ad- dressed 2 letter to Secretary Smith of the Interior Department exposing what he terms ‘‘one of the most gigantic and glar- ing frauds of the age’’ which isabout to be consummated in the State under the Carey arid land law. The letter states that all the water of the streams in the Big Horn Basin were parceled among members of the “State land ring” by the State Engineer, and that companies have been formed which propose to charge $10 an acre to settlers for water rights. The Senator asserts that the lands which the State authorities have asked to have set apart under the Carey law are not arid lands within the meaning of the act, and he concludes: “The design is to create a system of peonage or tenantry among all of our rich valleys where the honorable and independent manhood should be found. God forbid such a con- summation.” o S S SUIT AGAINST CHEROKEES. va Colonel Blackwell Demands Heavy Dam- ages From the Nation. WICHITA, Kans., Sept. 21.—Colonel A. J. Blackwell, founder of the cities of Black- well and David City, Oklaboma, who was imprisoned by the Cherokees, of which tribe he was a member by intermarriage, for treason in selling town lots to whites, has filed a damage suit against the Chero- kee nation. Blackwell, who grew im- mensely wealthy from the sale of lands, was disowned by the tribe and subjected to indignities and torture of such a character that the Federal authorities intcrfered. Blackwell at one time attained command- ing influences in his tribe by posing as a prophet of God. He contemplates the erection of a splendid temple at David City for the perpetuation of the Indian re- ligion. INCHARGEQETHE TN Wiley O. Cox Appointed Re- ceiver of a Kansas City Newspaper. The Remington Paper Company and Other Creditors to Be Protected. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 2L.—At the instance of C. R. Remington & Sons, other- wise known as the Remington Paper Com- pany, of Watertown, N. Y., Judge Glover appointed Wiley O. Cox receiver of the Times Newspaper Company. This was done to protect the interests of the Rem- ington company, who are creditors to the extent of $60,000. Mr. Cox at once took possession of the plant. Mr. McDonald, president of the Times company, declined to make any statements, but it is learned that he assumed control of the Kansas City Times Newspaper Company for the purpose of protecting the absent creditors of the late owner and founder of the prop- erty, Dr. Mumford. He had nothing to do with the invest ments of his friends, but as they had known him from childhood they urged him to take charge of the property, be- lieving that he would be able to pull it out. It had been stated in writing before they made these investments that the indebted- ness of the company was about $35,000. It is understood, however, that he found various binding obligations upon the cor- poration aggregating mare than $200,000. The company was without credit and its obligations were pressing. Mr. McDonald carried the company through the panic, reorganized its business, and practically brought the company’s affairs to a paying basis, and it is understood that in the near future he would have commenced reducing its floating indebtedness. e EMBEZZLED TEA AND COFFFE. Arrest of a Defunct Merchant on a Seri- ous Charge. CHICAGO, IrL., Sept. 21.—Edward 8. Blackall of the firm of A.H. Blackall & Son, tea and coffee merchants, was ar- rested yesterday on a charge of embezzling coffee and tea from the Hibernian Banking Association to the value of $10.000, and was released on bail. Blackall & Son failed in July, 1894, and the transaction on which the present charge is made took place just before the failure. The firm was an'old customer of the bank, and had frequently borrowed money on warehouse receipts for coffees and teas. The bank turned over these receipts to E. 8. Blackall to enable him to carry on business, and in return for its protection took a receipt setting forth that Blackall received the goods asits agent and was to replace the receifits with the proceeds of the sales or with warehouse receipts for new goods purchased in their place. The failure of the firm prevented the perform- ance of the contract and the bank has since had no security for its loan, hence the present proceedings. The bank’s at- torney stated to-day that the matter would probably be arranged and the bank would not lose any money. DL RS, Patrol for Bering Sea. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 21.—The Sun’s Washington special says: The strict patrol system exercised by the Bering Sea fleet this summer has resulted in the smallest illegal catch of the animals in the history of the fisheries, and the cruising maintained by Captain Hooper's little fleet of revenue-cutters has discouraged all but a few Canadians from venturing on the forbidden grounds. Captain Hooper's fleet is now on its way south from Alaska, and will arrive at San Francisco and Puget Sound, where half of the vessels will stop, within a few days. Many of the ships re- quire an overhauling, and will be placed out of commission pending repairs. s For Big Expenditures. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 2L.—Thomas C. Oakes, H. C. Payne and A. C.

SPRINGFIELD, Iris., Sept. 21L.—The sale of the Chicago, 8t. Louis and Peoria Railroad to-day, under an order from the Federal Circuit Court, was a cut and dried affair. Paul D.

C., Sept. 21.—Secre- tary Carlisle left here this noon for Mari- on, Mass. He will visit the President at Gray Gables early next week. It isof- ficially stated that the visit has no connec- Hood’s Pills tion with any contemplated bond issue. JUGGLING AT FIGURES, One Way of Concealing the Ever-Increasing Deficit. CLEVER BOOKKEEPING. o Campaign Material Prepared Under the Direction of the Treasury. BONDS AND AN EXTRA SESSION. Both Are to Be Staved Off if Possi~ ble Until After the Fall Elections. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 21.—Itis stoutiy asserted at the Treasury Depart- ment that there isin present contempla- tion neither an issue of bonds nor an extra session. The presence of Assistant Secre- tary Curtis in New York is explained at the department by an allusion to that gen- tleman’s vanity and his desire to pose in the commercial world as a factor. Secretary Carlisle makes no effort to con- ceal his annoyance at Mr. Curtis’ propen- sity for rushing to Wall street whenever the condition of the treasury is discussed in the papers. So far as information is vouchsafed at the tréasury the impression is made that if there isa bond issue at all it will not be made until the end of next month, and then enly for a small amount, sufficient to carry the gold reserve until Congress meets. Shoula the next Congress fail to pass necessary remedial legislation then President Cleveland will throw off all restraint and, intent only on keeping the gold reserve upto the normal point, will issue bonds as often and on whatever terms he may see fit. The Treasury Department this month will present an appearance of fictitious healthfulness. The result is obtained as usual by manipulation of figures, and is intended purely for campaign purposes. Itis intended that the report of the con- dition of the treasury at the end of the month shall show that the receipts of the Government are at last beginning to ex- ceed expenditures. The statement of the condition of the treasury shows that for the month the defivit was only $1,876,583. It is the purpose for the balance of this month to make the receipts of the treas- ury show a daily excess over expenditures, and to such a measure will this plan be carried out that at the end of the month the receipts for September are to show an excess over the expenditures of between one and two millions and the deficit for the fiscal year, which at the beginning of this month was about $14,000,000, will be reduced to abont $12,000,000. This jugglery with figures will serve as campaign material. But the following month it will be impossible to hide the truth. During the month of October there will be quarterly payments of interest to be met, and these, together with expendi- tures that no amount of cleverness may conceal, will show an appalling result. The deficit for the month of October can- not be kept below $7,000,000, and possibly it will be even greater, so that the deficit for the year up to that time will be in the neighborhood of $20,000,000. This condic tion of affairs wlll, of course, be held back at the treasury until after the elections, which occur the first week in November, when the deficits and bond issues can no longer produce their effect on voters. Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith, who has just returned from the South, is determined in his opposition to a bond issue, at least before the coming elections. To issue more bonds, says he, even for a single million, would undo in one stroke all the missionary work in behalf of gold money that has been done in months, and would throw the South back hopelessly into the handsof free-silver people, who would then sweep everything before them at the elections, CHINESE FOR ATLANTA. Their Road to the Exposition Not to Be Entirely Smooth. WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—With refer- ence to the dispatches from San Francisco in relation to Chinese admitted as partici- pants in the Atlanta Exposition, it is stated that the Treasury Department,on being advised that 200 or more Chinese were en route to Ogdensburg, via Canada, to attend the Atlanta Exposition, notified the Col- lector of Customs at Ogdensberg to closely examine each applicant, and to reject all who were unable to show conclusively that they were bona fide employes of the per- sons holding the concessions for the Chinese exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition. Acting under these instructions, a strict investigation was made by the Collector, who reported that satisfactory evidence was shown by each of the Chinese in ques- tion of a right under the joint resolution of Congress to attend the exposition.
