BERLIN, Dec. 11.—It is anpounced that the National Liberals will pursue the inquiry in the Reichstag regarding the government’sintention as to the Standard 01l Comvpany, which, it is believed, will lead 10 the taking of other steps. The Tageb.att: says: *“It wiil not pay to brutally atiack the United State: whose answer would b: worse than the provocation,” Upon the stage were seated some six y vice-presidents, inciuding the foremost business men and merchants. The chair- man of the evening was George H. Stewart. The first’ speaker was Rev. Burt Estes Howard, the pastor of the First Presby- terian Cburch and the chairman of the league committee of stigation. Mr. Howard said that while the league did not claim all of the political virtue there was extant in the community, still it did claim that it afforded on organized chan- nel through which those who desired municipal reform could direct their ef- forts. He claimed that the movemen: was non-partisan, and that all it desired was an honest administration of pubiic airs by competent men. He said that the School Board inquiry was going to be ed tothe very ena, letitinvoive whom 2 ker delivered an impas- sioned address, in which be declared that the league had only commenced iis labors, and they would not be finished until an investigation had been made of the Court- nouse as well as the City Hall.

Jobn F. Francis made a briet talk along the same lines, alter which Major H. T.

He said that not only were incompetent teachers employed in the public schools, but some teschers were employed that the respec instructors would not asso- ciate with.

During the memoreble campaign of last year for thenomination, and afterward for the electicn, Mrs, McKinlev was one of the most interested observers. She was always given the plsce of honor at the home of Ler illustrious son, and en the day of his nomination by the St. Louis Convention she heard the news as soon as he did. It was then that William McKinley showed the deep love he bore for his mother by kissing her as soon as hé had received the announcement of the result at St. Louis, She was a frequent caller at his home and was greeied by many of the visiting delegations ol Republicans. She accom- panied the President to the inauguration, riding in the special train, and remained in Washington until Mr. and Mrs. Me- Kinley had become settied in their new bome. Then she returned to the Canton cottage with expressions of gratitude at getting home once more.

Los Angeles, Riverside, Santa Clara and mauy other counties keep exhibi's at San Francisco, dispiaying all the year around samples of their best wroducis. The re- sult is that persons outside of this State areled to believe that there is no other fruit-produc ng locality than Southern Catifornia, when, as a matter of fact, the ereat San Joaquin Valley is abundant in fruic production.

It Is Said That He Is Anxious to Secure the Kansas Pacific A Railroad. NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—A special to the Worid from Washington says: Collis P. Huntington may become a bidder for the Kansas Pacific Railroad. 1t is his inten- tion 10 cffer more money for the property than the reorgmnization committee, but not a sum sufficient to liquidate the entire indebteduess due the Government. Huntington was completely ignored in the Union Pgeific deal. He threatened to acquire th- Kansas Pac.fic to disconcert toe reor-anization committee. He does not desire thie property, but hopes by this course to force the committee to recognize his claim and permit him to become a beneficiary in the Union Pacific transac- tions. Attorney - General McKenna to-night said be had heard nothing rezarding the intention of Huntington 1o b come a bid- dor for the Kansas Pacific. He hoped the report was true, as competition would rive the Government a betier chance of obtaining the full amount of its debt. But he still believes this expectation will be realized through other bidders than the reorganization committee. EVIDENCE TO AID LUETGERT. Witnesses Will Swear That His Wife Was Seen After Her Alleged Murder. CHICAGO, Dec. 11.—In defense of Adolph Luetgert on his re-trial one wit- ness will swear that she saw his wife com- ing from ber home on the night of her supposed murder shortly after 10:30. Another witness has been discovered who is willing to swear that she saw her the next morning, May 2, within six blocks of the factory sitting on the stone curb- ing. In view of this newly discovered evidence the defense has practically de- cided to abandon the Kencsha alibi used in the first trial. The correctness of the statement was attested by Attorney Riese to-dav. It is stated that the same plan was perfect-d during the last hearing ana that Attor- ney Vincent, then c.lef counsel for the defendant, would not permit the evidence to be used.
