AGRARIANS ARE ANGRY The Infected Food Comes From Mecklenburg Instead of America. A FAR-REACHING QUARANTINE The Bars Put Up Against Sixty Dis- tricts—Other Events in the Kaiser’s Realm. BERLIN, GerMaxY, May 23.—The food purity scare, which has been so tenderly fostered by agrarian politicians, has re- ceived a sensational fillip this week by the re of 400 pounds of food infected tuberculosis at the Berlin Trades | in the institution devoted to | i cheap food to the public, where is of persons eat dinners daily | at costa penny a head. The infected came from Mecklenburg and not | from America, which country the German | als profess to regard as the place of nof all of the deceased meats in the | i. In spite of the dictum of Baron | ein-Loften, Prussian Minister of | e, Domains and Forests, that it possible to put a Chinese wall around | Prussia to prevent the importation of | foreign animals, the provincial governors | have oné after another closed their boun- the adjoining provinces, nfected with foot and mouth | and ailments of that kind, and | empire of Prussian Silesia has sed acainst Russian hogs. eiger, the official organ, e issued by the Governor . in Rhenish Prussia, closing markets of that province against sixty | through the empire, among are Hamburg, Konigsburg; Breslau, | rg, Luenenburg, Wiesbaden, Co- achen, Dresden, Leipsic, Carls- | Mannheim, besides provinces | clenburg, Saxe-Weimar, Bruns- wick, ete. In fact, there never before has heen such & sweeping charge of infection ted in Germany. \e Kaiser has been hunting for a week in the woods of Prokelwitz, spending his days in the chase and visiting the mno- | biemen of the vicinity in their castles in the even It is stated that the Empe- ror’s brother-in-law, Duke Ernest Gunter, | who recently opened his new chatean at | Prinkenau, has introduced the latest | ary novelty, black yolks of | , to the Kaiser. | y goes that these yolks are ob- | v feeding ducks with acorns, the | in contained in which, working upon the iron properties of the yolk, makes the | yolk black. | During the Emperor's visit to Prokel- witz a large barn a few miles away caught The Kaiser, upon learning of the daries agai which seld; directed the extinguishing of 1es and the salvage of property and did not leave until the fire was subdued. ce Henry of Prussia was in his most fable mood upon the occasion of his re- ent interview with Hon. Edwin E. Uhl, the United States Embassador. He told that he had several times been in outh and Central America and regretted exceedingly that he had never been in the Uni es, which country he has al- ways had the greatest desire to see. He had read a great deal aboutthe United States, he ssid, and in his conversation he showed himself remarkably well informed upon facts and conditions concerning the North American Republic. The death of Herr Otto Camphausen, who was the Prusslan Mirister of Finance during the period from 1869 to 1873, has opened a controversy between Prince Bis- marck’s organ, the Hamburger Nachrich- ten, and the Liberal press. Prince Bis- marck, in answering the attacks made upon him by the Liberal newspapers, says that Herr Camphausen resigned his office in consequence of Parliamentary pressure and opposition, and declares thata Min- ister resigning his position under such cir- cumstances has no right afterward to crit- icize his colleagnes who remained on the battle-field. It was Prince Bismarck's adherence to this idea, the Nachrichten | says, that provoked his severe turn with Herr Camphausen in the Prussian Parlia- | ment. Nevertheless, the overwhelming | consensus of opinion is to-day that Herr | Camphausen was the best Finance Minis- ter that Prussia ever had. In consequence of the Emperor's con- demnation of the party of Christian So- cialists, Dr. Burckbardt of Bremen has taken up the cudgels in its defense. Inan address delivered before a gathering of Christian Socialists at Bremen Dr. Burck- hardt declared that the Government, when the Vorwaerts, the leading socialist or- gan, favored the subsidizing of the Chris- | tian Socialists by the provincial Gover- nors, placed funds at their disposal. The matter excites general attention, and Dr. Burckhardt’s declaration will doubtless lead to the unearthing of a scan- dal in the Reichstag. The Deutsche Tagzeitung learns that in | consequence of the demands of the shop assistants that chops shall close at 8 o’clock each evening, the Bundesrath is consider- ing the question of regulating the number of consecutive hours that shops may be | kept open, leaving it to the shopkeeper to | fix the hours of opening and closing. The Berlin press is unanimous in its approval of the attitude taken by Baron von Thielmann, German Embassador to the United States, in his controversy with Becretary of State Olney over the case of Louis Stern of New York, whose bail of 80,000 marks was forfeited at Munich, be- cause of his failure to surrender himself to | serve the sentence of imprisonment and | fine imposed upon him by the court for | insuiting Baron von Thorengen, Deputy Commissioner of the Spa, at Kissingen, last year. Bob Kneebs, the American horseman, who is in jail here, pending the decision of the court upon his appeal from judg- ment, under which he stands convicied of | “ringing” a horse on the Berlin trotting track, has been taken to the prison infirm- sty serionsly ill, {t is believed that it will be nine months before all the docu- ments in his case reach Berlin from America. ‘7] L W [ | | | | | ) ") Ko e Raprael’s @ Incorporated), Ghe Frisco Boys.

The railway authorities at Cour- ville reporved to the police thata trunk among the luggage in their possession emitted almost overpowering stench, and they had reason to believe that it con- tained a body. The police arrested a man and woman who claimed the trunk, and on opening it discovered the nude body ot | 8 young man. { he man and woman explain the pos- session of the body by saying that a man | named Bernard asked them to take the body to Parie in a trunk in order to save the expense of a coffin.

McKinley. Cause of the Failure of Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau, the Theatrical Managers. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 23. — Local politicians of the anti-McKinley strie were interested greatly last night in Quay’s visit to Major McKinley. They were sure it did not indicate that the Pennsylvania boss had gone into the McKinley camp, nor anything like it. They had to admit, bowever, that they did not see why Quay had gone to Canton. Under no circumstances will Levi P. Morton accept a renomination for Gov- ‘ernor. Morton wants the Presidency, and failing to get that he intends to retire from | public life at the expiration of his term, | on December 31 next. | The anchors of the great white warships lying idle down the bay will be raised | within a few days, and the fleet will run |out to sea for a arill. Rear Admiral Bunce, commanding the squadron, has been preparing for a series of fleet drills off S8andy Hook, where he can limber up | both ships and men. A large section of the Atlantic Ocean has been chartered for the white squadron’s evolutions. A vast imaginary triangle has been made, bounded on the north and south by the regular steamship routes and on the eastward by a slanting line a hundred miles out from shore. Within this space the war vessels will have plenty of sea- room. No steamships will be unexpectealy ooming up in fog or arkness on the bows o' men-of-war, and sailing vessels are not expected to get in line with the projectiles that will be fired from the big euns. The assignment of Abbey, Schoeffel & | Grau has created a sensation in the dra- matic world. The cause, briefly told, is as follows: The opera seasons since 1891 have been continuous successes, but the half million profits could not stem the tide of dramatic disaster that has been setting against the firm. Among all the long list of great or lesser actors and actresses whom the firm may have managed during the past few years Irving and Bernhardt are almost the only ones who have broaght a profit to the partners, the Lillian Russell Company heading the disastrous list with losses of nearly $200,000. Under Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau's airection many of the most dis- tinguished players and vocalists of foreign lands made their bow to tne New York public. On the evening of November 8, 1880, Ab- bey introduced Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, | who took the entire country by storm, Mrs. Langtry was the next novelty served up by Mr. Abbey. She made her first ap- pearance on our stage on the evening of November 6, 1882. Then came Henry Irving and Ellen Terry on October 29, 1883, Coquelin appeared here in the fall of 1888, and Mme. Jane Hading opened at Abbey's Theater in January, 1894. In No- vember, 1887, the boy pianist, Josef Hoff- man, was presented by Mr. Abbey at the Metropolitan Opera-house and scored an enormous success. They also managed Sarasate, the violin- ist, and Eugene d’Albert the prince of French ists. Mounet-Sully appeared at Abbey's thea- ter on the evening of March 26, 1894. Re- jane and Beerbohm Tree were other recent importations. Wilson Barrett, Modjeska nd Liilian Russell have also been directed 8hyMr. Abbey. Messrs. Abbey & Grau’s exploits in the dreaded domain ruled by the prima donna and the tenor have been no less note- worthy. The divine Patti sang for them through the season of 1887-88 and again in 1890, Mme. Christine Nilsson was first heard here under Abbey’s management in Bos- ton November 1, 1882, and again in the season of 1883-84. Albani sang here through two seasons. To them we owe the pleasure of having heard the brothers De Reszke, Melba and Emma Eames. Calve was brought to us by Abbey & Grau. In a word, all the great ones associated with the most splendid’ vocal achieve- ments of the world have been cajoled by Abbey into casting their pearls broadcast in America. ADJUSTING FREIGHT RATES. 2he Trans-Missouri Committes Nettles Some Points in Dispute. DENVER, Covo., May 23.—The Trans- Missouri freight rate committee to-day de- ferred action on the matter of grain rates eastbound from Missouri River points. Exceptions on certain commodities were granted in favor of the Union Pacific in the adjustment of the Utah common point tariffs. These exceptions are cement, lumber, shingles and several similar art:- cles. The basis of percentage eranted the Southern Pacific on' Utah common point business was fixed at 75 per cent of the Missouri River tariff to Utah points. A wool rate of $2 all rail and $1 95 rail and water, Utah to Boston, was establishea. This settles another matter which haslong been a vexed question. = —_———— \FIRED UPON THE TRAMPS, Clerk Mock Fatally Wounded a Member of @ Tough Trio.

Y., May 23. — “Count” Max Shinburn, one of the most daring | bank burglars and who dnring his career | has stolen upward of $5,000,000 from the banks of this country and Europe, was yesterday convicted on the charge of bur- glary of the second degree, in breaking into the Middleburg National Bank, in Schoharie County, and sentenced to four years and eight months in Dannemora. A Sheriff from New Hampshire was at | Schoharie all during the trial, and was | ready with papers to arrest Shinburn in case the jury should acquit him on the Middleburg charge. Last night there was an extra guard vlaced around the jail, so that it would be | impossible for Shinburn to escape. The | burglary atthe Miadleburg bank was com- mitted in February, 1895. Brown ! burn’s accomplice, was sentenced six months ago to four years and six months. Shinburn did not speak once during the trial. Shin- (i byl GENERAL FAIRCHILD DEAD.
