THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1896. THOSE SESSIONS OF THE REICHSTAG, Lassitude of Its Members Since the Whitsuntide Holidays. CRETE’S INSURRECTION. Should the Turks Attempt a Massacre the Powers Will Intervene. A PRINCE SNUBBZD AT MOSCOW Henry of Prussia, Brother of the Kaiser, Ts Greatly Incensed at His Reception. BERLIN, GermMANY, June 6.—Since the Reichstag reassembled after the Whitsun- tide holidays it has been a difficalt matter to secure the attendance of a quorum. The debate over the reform law governing night during a severe gale. The schooner White Swan, with a crew of nineteen men, went ashore near Cape Spear. The crew barely escaped with their lives. The schooner Annie was sunk in a collision and three men were drowned. Three other vessels, the Emmeline, Piesto and Liberty, were driven on the rocks, but no lives were lost. OPERATIONS IN THE SOUDAN. England Concentrating a Big Force to Ad- vance in Omdurman and Wipe Out the Mahdists. LONDON, Ex6., June 6.—The War Office has ordered the heads of the staff to pre- pare for the dispatch of 5700 troops at the end of August. Part of these wiil go to Egypt, while the remainder will be used to replace the drafts from Gibraltar and Malta, from which places troops now there will be sent to join theSoudan expedition. The orders indicate that 8500 British troops will take part in the expedition in Sep- tember. The Indian contingent will then number nearly 4000, making the combined strength of the Anglo-Egyptian forces about 21,000 men. This confirms the suspicion that the Government has deceived the country re- garding the scope of operations contem- plated in the Soudan. An advance on Don- gola wonld not require such an army. The objective point is now believed to be Om- durman and Kassala and the wiping out of the Mahdists. If the plans are successful the India troops will move in Suakim in July and occupy Erkowit, thirty miles southwest of that place, on the road to Kassala. Here they will go into cantonment, which will be made the base of an advance on Kas- sala and Berber. Erkowit lies on high | ground and is free from the heats of the Red Sea littoral. There is plenty of water there. iations, the proposal to create quar- attalions in the army and the bill ing certain transactions on the iled to move the Chamber from de, but those in political circles sre in expectation that there will be live- 1 mes when the presentation of the re- of the commission on the new civil es the Chamber to discus: n the civil marriage and other stions which are included in the full se: vexed since the code was introduced and have conducted privately and publicly a propa- ganda against the civil-marriage clause thereof. The Government has not yet explicitly declared whether or not it will make any concessions to the party of the C ,but if the opinion which prevails the lobbies of the Reichstag prove to be taining some degree of distinction by on a footing not at all upon equality with religious and civil marriages. Thbe Bourse and the commercial associa- tions are making strenuous protests gainst the restrictions which the Bourse bill places mpon time transactions and other commercial and financial dealings, declaring that the extent to which they hamper business operations causes them har but judging from the course of yesterday’s debate in the Reichs- upon the guestion of the third reading of the bill the protests will prove unavail- as the Conservatives, National Lib- erals and Socialists hold to the bill as it stands. The Centrists are preparing to reintro- duce their proposal to repeal the laws gainst the Jesuits, and the Socialists, Freissinnigs and Poles will support it, thus giving a motion to repeal the law so large & majority as to probably oblige the Government to assent to the abolishment ot ietews, The majorit¥ih favor of the repeal ofthe law, which was shown in the vote taken on the subject in the Reichstag 1880, ought to have been sufficient to 1re the abrogation of the law, but the ndesrath ignored the decision of the er. ificant by election has just been sing a rural parliamentary district Potsdam, which was supposed to be y conservative. The Conservative candidate was Herr von Amim,a man of ability and very popular, and he upported by the Agrarians, but in ite of this he was defeated by the Radi- czal candidate by a majority of 1300 votes. The Foreign Office authorities deny that the Government has received a protest or a note of any character from Greece in re- gard to the repression by the Turks of the uprising which 18 in progress in Crete. Some concert certainly exists among the powers, however, the object of which is to prevent isolated action upon the part of any one of the powers, as each of them hassent warships to Canea or Retimo, ostensibly for the purpose of protecting its own subjectsin the island of Crete, but it is understood that if the Turks should attempt a massacre of Cretans, tke com- manders of the warships are authorized to take combined action and hoid the Turks in restraint. Popular feeling in Germany is entirely on the side of the Cretans. Following the recent injunctions of the Emperor against clergymen taking part in politics, the Prussian authorities have de- cided that disciplinary proceedings be in- stituted against the Rev. Dr. von Soden, a Berlin pastor, on account of a speech which he delivered in tife evangelical congress recently beld at Stuttgart. The prosecu- tion of Dr. von Soden is attributed to the secret influence of Baron von Stumm, the well-known advocate of socialist repres- sion, who is credited with having great in- finence and enjoying close intimacy with the Kaiser. At the Stuttgart congress Professor Wagner paid his respects to Baron von Stumm, declaring that he stood upon a lower politico-moral level than Herr Bebel and the other Socialist leaders. : The story of an incident connected with the recent visit of Prince Henry of Prussia, brother and representative of the Emperor to Moscow on the occasion of the corona- tion of the Czar, is being widely circu- lated. Upon his arrival at Moscow Prince Henry found that none of the Russian grand dukes were at the station to receive him. Prince Henry was greatly incensed at this and intimated to Generasl von Werder, formerly German Embassador at St. Patersburg, who accompanied him, his intention to immediately return to Berlin, in resentment of the gross slight which he declared had been put upon the represen- tative of the German Emperor. General von Werder persuaded the Prince to de- lay his departure, which he did for a few minutes, and just as his carriage was starting from the German embassy the Grand Duke Paul came wearing up and ex- plained that the station master had for- gotten to telegraph Prince Henry'sarrival Prince Henry is not satistied with this ex- planation and wants Prince Hohenlohe, the Imperial Chancellor, to obtain an official explanation and an apology. General A. M. D. McCook,who was one of the representatives of the United States at the coronation of the Czar at Moscow, has telegraphed that he will go directly to Paris from Moscow.

T | NOT RELEASED AS YET. Postponement of the Decision in the Case of the Reformers. LONDON, Exe., June 6.—The dispatch from Pretoria published in the Pall Mall Gazette yesterday announcing that the four leaders of the Johannesburg Reform Committee, George Farra, Lionel Phillips, Colonel Francis Rhodes and John Hays Hammond, had been released on parole proves untrue. X A dispatch from Pretoria last evening reached here this morning.

LONDON, Exg., June 6.—A dispatch from Buluwayo says that Major Baden Powell with two columns of whites, attacked the Matabeles six miles from Buluwayo, killing 180 of them. Three whites were wounded. LOOKS BAD FOR WALLING A Stronger Case Against Him Than Appeared at the Jackson Trial. Damaging Admissions He Has Made to the Officials on Various Occasions. CINCINNATI, Oxnro, June 6.—The prose- cution in the Walling trial closed its case this afternoon, and just before adjourn- ment, Colonel Washington announced that Walling would be the first witness in his own defense and would take the stand Monday morning. The evidence brought out to-day was very damaging to the prisonerand the im- Eresslon prevails that a stronger case has een made against Walling than was made in the Jackson trial. Colonel Deitsch,Superintendent of Police of Cincinnati, was the principal witness of the day. One nronF point in his evidence was that Walling told Deitsch that he had met Pearl Bryan on the last Wednesday afternoon of her life in Cincinnati, at Fourth and Race streets. Jackson sent him there. Deitsch said Walling admitted having advised Jackson to give Pearl Bryan ergot of rye; that he knew she was coming to the city, but did not know what had become of her. Sheriff Plummer swore that he showed Walling the hat and handkerchief found near the body. Walling said he thought the hat was Pearl Bryan’s and the hand- kerchief Jackson's. Walling said he knew in January that Jackson intended to kill the girl, and said e tried to coax him not to do so. Mayor Caldwell testified that he had several conversations with Alonzo Wall- ing, in which neither threats nor promises were made. The hiayor said Walling told bim Jackson said_be intended to bring Pearl Bryan to Cincinnati and give her quick poison. All Friday night, Walling told the Mayor, he was in his room. Jack- son came in late and washed his hands. Walling heard him muttering to himself, but could not distinguish the words. —_— 7 Must Be Sold Soon. LOUISVILLE, Ky.

Corlew Beaten by the Sheepmen at the Threshold of His Home. - D., June 6.—Cleveland tried | THE VICTIM STYLED A BULLY Mountaineers Declare That He Has Long Been Trampling Upon Their Rights. FRESNO, CaL., June 6. — W. Cloudsly Corlew, who shot and wounded Lee Blasingame, in Big Sandy Valley, was brought to the County Jail to-day by Deputy Sheriff Bedford and Deputy Con- stable Henry. The officérs left last night for the scene of the shooting, but at Senti- nel, about half-way to Big Sandy, they met Corlew, who was on his way to Fresno to give himself up. Corlew was accom- panied by bis brother, Cliff Corlew, and his father-in-law, Thomas Hall. When seen at the jail by a CALL corre- spondent, Corlew refused to make a state- ment. He said, however, that he did not consider that he had done anything wrong From his brother, Clifford Corlew, his story of the shooting was obtained. Blasingame’s sheep passed through the mountains a few days ago, being driven to Summit to graze during the summer. The sheep were allowed by herders to feed upon the Bald Hill Meadow on Pine Ridge, about ten miles above Big Sandy. This meadow is owned by Corlew Broth- ers. Cliff Corlew was at the meadow at the time and he fired a charge of shot into the band and killed a number of sheep. He told the herders to notify Blasingame that this was the manner in which he in- tended to keep the sheep off his pasture and that it was the only way in which he could do so, About two years ago Cloud Corlew shot into a band of Blasingame's sheep at the same place, The herders told Blasingeme of the shooting of his sheep by Cliff Corlew. Blasingame immediately came down the mountain on & private trail of the Corlew brothers, from their meadow to their home in Blg Sandy.. He arrived at Cloud Cor- lew’s honse first, and was evidently seek- ing trouble. He began a tirade ana Cor- lew replied spiritedly. Blasingame then dismounted from his horse and struck Corlew. Blasingame is a biz man and a scientific boxer. Corlew is small of stature ana was at the mercy of Blasingame, whose anger was aroused to a high pitch. Blasingame had a six-shooter hanging from his belt, while his opponent was unarmed. Corlew claims that he did not offer any resistance to Blasingame, and tried only to escape into his house. But Blasingame got between him and the house and he had to take considerable punishment, of which several abrasions on his face are evidence. Finally Corlew succeeded in escaping and ran into nis house, Blasingame mounted his horse and rode away. When he was about 100 yards distant Corlew came out of the house with a shotgun and tired at the sheepman. He afterward dispatched two men to see if Blasingame was hurt, but they returned, saying that they could not find him. Blasingame must have ridden some dis- tance before his horse gave out. The sheepman did not return the fire with his pistol when fired upon. He got away as rapidly as possible, evidently fearing the second barrel of the shotgun. Residents of the mountains all side with Corlew. The prisoner can easily procure almost any amount of bail. The peoplie of the mountains say that Blasingame bas imposed upon them for many years, act- ing the partof a bully. He has the repu- tation of a fighter. The shootiniwas in no way connected with the Heath case, as first surmised. Acquitted at Salt Lake. SALT LAKE CITY, Uram, June 6.— Harry Hinds, who shot and killed Walter Dinwoody, whom he found in company with his wife, last March,was to-day found not guilty of murder.
