THE GERMAN CABLE LETTER.

The Reception of the German Empsror in the Alsace-Lorraine District.

PROGRESS MADE IN GERMANIZING THE PROVINCES.

The Emparor to the Westphalians —The Czar and Czarina's Start On Their Trip.

(Copyright, lttfj, by the Nt York Associated Press. I BKIU.IN, August 24.—Compared with the visit of the late Emperor William to Alsace-Lorraine in 1S87 the present emperor's visit was a phenomsnal succssa. After making every allowance for oflicial zeal in stirring the provinces to enthusiasm, the emperor's reception indijates the remarkable progress made in Germanizing the provinces during the past decade. The journey from Strasburg to Met/, was a triumphal progress. All the intermediate stations were gaily dJSorated and crowded with people who chejred the emperor, whose tact in the diflhultand tempting circumstances was remarkable. He made brief replies to the various toasts, etc., but did not say a word at which the French could be otrended. The only incident thai pissibly can cause anxiety arose from ie passport question. The president of the Strasburg chamber of commerce on being presented to the emperor petitioned him to abolish the present rigorous regulations.

The emperor briefly expressed regret at his inability to do anything in this direction. By order of Prince Von llohenlohe, an imperial decree was published in Strasburg to-night expressing the thanks of their majesties for the brilliant receptions given them, which, the decree says, strengthen the conviction that these originally German territories—inhabited, as they are, by an honest, intelligent population—will become still more closely attached to the fatherland. The emperor has sent a life sized portrait of himself to Prince

Von Jlohenlohe. At a gala dinner in Muenster castle to-night the emperor, replying to a toast to his health, dwelt UIJJB the energy and endurance of the Westphalians,whose principles, hesaid,he imbibed in his youth, his tutor having been a Westphalian. Westphalia has always shown itself loyal to the Prussian house. Me hoped that the Westphalian sword, which had always kept its edge, would in the future, as in the past, give evidence of its keenness if it should again be necessary to unsheath it in defense of the newly united fatherland. Ue drank "prosperity to Westphalia."

Copenhagen telegrams announce that the czar and czarina boarded the imperial yacht at Peterhof, yesterday, and were expected in Copenhagen on Tuesday, but at the last moment the sailing was postponed. General Schuvalolf, the Russian minister, returned here Wednesday. Count Nesselrode, the czar's master of ceremonies, has also arrived. The Uussian embassy is evidently expecting a visit from the czar. Count Herbert Bismarck, interrupting his holiday, left Hamburg to-day for Muenster, presumably to consult with the emperor regarding the czar's visit. The belief now is that the czar will disembark at Stettin en route to Copenhagen and have a brief, quiet meeting with the emperor at Potsdam. There will be uo military display such as was presented for King Humbert and Kiuperor Francis Joseph, all the guards having departed for the autumn manoeuvers in Silesia.

An inspired article in the Cologne Gazette on the results of the emperor's visit to Osborne says: "The relations between England and Germany, out of which much matter for superlluous disharmony has been eliminated, beginning to be much more friendly. Owing, however, to the oppositionjof the Radicals in parliament, the English government is compelled to proceed cautiously toward a repprochment with Germany." The Gazette adds: "Whether the czar comes or not there is small hope that the relations between Russia and Germany will improve."

The North German Gazette reproduces an oflicial article of the Hamburg correspondent to the effect that the czar's visit cannot intluence the question of peace or war. The Novoe Vreruya and other leading Russian papers are making open bids for Turkish support as a counterbalance to the powerful combination of the central European powers.

The ministerial council has decided to reassemble the reichstag in the middle of October, for the purpose of submitting to it several important measures. l-Vince Bismarck and Herr Oelschlaeger had a long conference to-day on the subject of negotiations between the various German governments regarding new repressive socialist laws. The police have prohibited the circulation of a pamphlet which the socialists have just published with a view of enlisting public sympathy.

The Silesian Gazette publishes statistics showing an uninterrupted growth of socialism. The city of Berlin in 1882 contained twenty-four socialist societies. Now it contains over one hundred, Bavaria in ISStl had 1,0*21 societies, with ."iS,000 members. She now has '2/200 societies, with 122,000 members.

Referriug to the report that a deputation of Cretans were going to solicit Kinperor William's protection, the Post says that such a step will be in vain, as the emperor has entered into no obligations for the protection of subjects under Turkish rule. 11 is reported that Tippo Tib's son has arrived inZinzibar and that he will mediate between Captain Wissmann and Bushiri to restore peace.

The recent rising in the price of diamonds has attracted attention. German operators have made extensive purchases of Debeer's shares in the .London market, and intend to have them quoted on the Berlin boerse. The Debeers mine practically controls the market. The idea is to limit the production and thus maintain prices.

Mm. Yapp A^aln,

Sr. P.WL, August '24.—Margaret E.

Yapp, of Whitebear, brought suit in the district court against the ^St. Paul Globe for $10,000 damages for libel. The alleged libelous articles are two telegrams printed in the Globe on August lGch and 19th, headed: "Mrs. Yapp Swore Falsely," and "Unworthy of Belief," respectively. Both articles accuse Mrs. Yapp of being guilty of perjury in the case of Malvin Smith against his wife, tried at Montreal about three years ago, and alleged that she was one of the witnesses in the Maybrick case. She did appear in the case at Montreal, but is not the Mrs. Yapp who appeared against Mrs. Maybrick.

The Dockmen'g Strike.

LONDON, August 24.—There is no change in the dockmen's strike. Conferences between representatives of the strikers and employers have proved futile. The Commercial dock company declined to submit the matter to arbitration. City clerks have been employed to unload samples of new arrivals of tea. Dock shares have declined one per cent.

MinUter Hold's Dinner to WorkinRincn. PARIS, August 24.—The Hon. Whitelaw R9id, United States minister to France, gave to-day a dejeuner to the delegates of Scripp's league of workingmen. Fifty persens were present. Among the special guests were General Franklin, United States commissioner to the Paris exposition, and Cornelius Vanderbilt of New York. Count Ney, a son of Marshal Ney, acknowledged in a neat speech Minister Reid's toast, "The Prosperity of France." The count spoke in warm terms alike of the sentiment and its proposer.

A STORY OF INHUMAN TREATMENT-:

A St. Paul Story Alout the Management of an Asylum. ST. PAUL, Minn., August 24.—Another story of inhuman treatment is being told, which, if true, will draw considerable attention to the management of the St. Peter asylum, and may possibly end in an investigation. The story has been told by the Rev. S. D. Kemerer, a Methodist pastor at Ortonville. Several weeks ago he wrote to Secretary Hart making complaint that a young lady of Bigstone county had been most foully dealt with by a citizen of Minneapolis, who, in addition to his shameful treatment of the girl, had her finally placed in the St. Peter asylum. Mr. Kemerer charges that the young lady was not sent to St. Peter as a lunatic, but that the authorities knew the facts and took charge of her to hide the wrong done by the Minneapolis man. It is related that her father wrote to Superintendent Bartlett, but did not receive a satisfactory reply, whereupon William Campbell, probate udge, also wrote, but received no reply.. Laterly the girl has been released and she makes the charge that her treatment there was very immoral. She has signified her willingness to testify to their acts before the board of corrections and chanties, but she has not yet been called to do so. This is the story, and it is now being investigated by the state board of charities and correction^

The Army of the Cumberland Meeting. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., August 24.—The Merchants' and Miners' line of boats have announced a round trip fare of 830.G7 from Boston and Providence via the Norfolk & East Tennessee road to Chattanooga and return on the occasion of the meeting of the Society Jof the Army of the Cumberland in Chattanooga, September 18, 19, and 20. This has been met by the Louisville & Nashville with a rate of 1 cent a mile to all brigades in Illinois and Indiana, and it has been announced to-day that the Queen & Crescent will make the same rate. This has created great consternation in railroad circles, and it. is probable that all roads leading into Chattanooga will make the same rate on the occasion of the meeting, one of the principal features of which will be the forming of a society of veterans of both armies. Word has been received, here that the brigade which was commanded by President Harrison has consented to accompany them, though this has not been officially announced.

A Troublesome Divorce Case. REDWOOD FALLS, Minn., August 21^There have been some very sensational developments in a divorce case that came up before Judge Webber, of this district, some timesince. D. White, a clerk in the Commercial house of this village a little over a year eince, married a very estimable young lady teaching school in this county but whose home was in Wisconsin. Her name was Miss Whipple. Only a few months after they were married a little trouble caused a separation, and Mrs. White returned to the home of her parents, in Wisconsin. White made no demand upon her to come back, but seme time ago instituted proceedings for divorce, which was granted without the wife having been notified. Velora Tenney, a highly respectable young man, was alleged to have been unduly intimate with Mrs. White, but he was not notified of the suit. Now Mrs. White and Tenney have discovered the facts, and have arrived here to deny the charges, but White has fled.

Governor Waterman's Level Heal. SACRAMENTO, Cal., August 24.—Governor Waterman has written the following letter to the attorney general of this state:

Tlif Hon. G. -1. Juhnxnu, Atl'iriu-y Cnural: DKAR SIK—The arrest of the Hon. S.Field, Justice of the supreme court of the United States, on the unsupported oath or a woman, who. on the very ilaj the oath was taken, and often before, threatened his life, will be a burning disgrace to the state unless disavowed. I therefore urge upon you the propriety of at once instructing the district attorney of San Joaquin county to {dismiss the unwarranted proceedings against him. The question of jurisdiction of the state courts in the case of Deputy United States Marshal Xagle is one for argument. The unpr cedented indignity on Justice Field does not admit of argument.

He Was Only a "SiRjer" Anyhow." MKXICO, MO., August 24.—Perry ThrBll, who died yesterday at Macon, Mo., confessed before his death of having committed the crime for which another suffered the death penalty. In 1864 Wm. Vanderventer and wife were murdered in their house, a few miles from Florida, near here. Billy Duly, a colored man, was arrested, tried, convicted and hanged for the crime at Paris, Mo., a few months after the tiagedy. Thrall made the confession of this crime on his death bed. ~[r

EL RIO REY RUNS AWAY.

The Crack California Runner Wins The Big Eclipse Stakes Yesterday.

T=f-

HE HAS AN EASY TIME OF IT, TOO, IN WINNING. j? -n

Fred Arthur Takes Three Heats in the Chicago Race—Turf C" Notes.

WESTCHESTER, N. Y., August 24.—The great Eclipse stakes, handicap sweepstakes of $250 each, with SI0,000 added, of which $2,000 went to the second and 81,000 to the third horse, for 2-years-olds, and worth to the winner §28,625, was won this afternoon by El Rio Rey, the unbeaten pride of California. Eberlee was second and Banquet third. The time was 1:14. Twen-ty-five thousand Jenthusiaetic persons saw the race. The day and track were perfect. The crowd was a typical New York holiday one, and numbered representatives from every prominent point in the country, and all were earnest in their praise of the race course and its peerless accommodations. The event of the day was fixed for 3:30 o'clock, but it was that time before the racers were summoned to the post by the bugle. As soon as they had all arrived, Mr. Caldwell got down and made a little speech. He said: "Now boys, this is a big stake, and I want all to have a good chance. am not going to start you until I get into the stand, and will start you with the Hag. I will not use my handkerchief. Remember, it will be the Hag and I will drop it." All were Boon ready, but Cameo, who was slow to return, but Henderson turned in front, and down went the Hag to the best start ever seen on a race track. Of course there was a leader, and Livonia had that honor. She was followed by Cayuga, Devotee, El Rio R9y and Torso, with Cameo and June Day bringing up the rear. It is safe to say there was not two lengths between the nose of the first and the tail of the last one. As they swung into the straight stretch El Rio R9y was in the lead, with Cayuga, Devotee and Livonia next. On they came, seemihgly-slowly, for their speed cannot be judged from the stand, as they are constantly approaching. As they raised out of the dip «Vinchell shook his whip at the California crack. He instantly shot out a couple of lengths further ahead and then he was steadied. "Great heavens," said a well-known turf man. "There is only one in it. El Rio Rey walkB home." It was a fact. He had the field at his mercy and merely played with it. By comparison they hardly appeared to be moving, as he, although only walking in, was able to keep lengths ahead of his nearest pursuers with the greatest ease. It was all over but the shouting, and long before the last furlong was reached expressions of admiration for the great colt were made all over the stand and the lawn. On they came, whipping and spurring, but hiB sides and flanks were untouched. As stately as a noble ship sailing into harbor he went by the judges, the easiest of easy winners, by four lengths, and he might have made it a dozen. Eberlee was second, two lengths before Banquet third. Livonia, Cayuga, June Day, Devotee, Onaway. Torso, Jersey Pat, Drizzle Padishah, Chesapeak and Favorite followed as named.

The winner of the great eclipse stakes, El Rio Rey, is owned by Theodore Winters. He is a handsome chestnut colt, shapely in appearance, with the thorough build of a fine race horse. HiB dam was Marion and his sire Norfolk. Rey started in his first race at St. Louis on June 11, and emphasized the value of his ancestor by winning the St. Louis brewers' stallion stakes, valued at 81,380, at mile, with Winchell up, at 118 pounds. He played with his opponents. On Wednesday, June 26, at Chicago, he won a race of 5furloDgs, defeating Lord Payton and Extravagance, carrying 123 pounds. On June 29 he started for the Kenwood stakes, and won the puree of $2,920, by defeating Protection and Penn P. The distance was :g of a mile,and the winner carried 120 pounds, with Winchell up. Again on Tuesday, July 11th, he won the Hyde Park stakes at Chicago, valued at 83,500, defeating Synaloa II. by two lengthe. Winchell weighed in at 123 pounds. Shortly after the race he came East and has been in constant training. It was expected that he would start in at least two of the Monmouth park events, but the weather was unfavorable.

A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.

Horses Scared By Opera House Fireworks Wreck a Carriage. Theteam of William Green, of the Wabash iron company, ran away last evening, overturning the carriage and throwing Mr. and Mrs. Green and child, Mrs. Richard Walker, and Miss Carrie Walker, of Sharon, Penn., who are visiting in the city, out on the street and bruising all of them more or less. No one was seriously injured, butMrs. Waiter received the most severe injuries. Her arm was badly bruised, though not broken, and it was feared that she had received internal injuries, although she insisted that she was not injured internally. Yet she did not recover as quickly as the other members of the party. The horses were caught at Third and Mulberry streets, and the irriage top was demolished and one wheel destroyed. Mr. Green was driving by the west side of the opera house when some of the attaches of Thearle & Cooper's "Michael Strogoff" company discharged some rockets. The noise and blaze scared the horses and frightened another team coming toward him, on Fourth street. While attempting to avoid a collision, Mr. Green's team became unmanageable, turned suddenly in the opposite direction and threw the party into the top of the carriage, which was then dragging on the ground. Mr. Green was not suspecting that an imitation of a Fourth of July celebration would be a part of the Bhow. Later in the evening Mr. Green was paid §75 for the damage to the carriage.

While Mrs. E. T. Hazeldine, of south Fourth street, was sitting in a buggy in front of Herz' last evening the horse began kicking, and with a very few kicks, left nothing of adashbord. Mrs. Hazeldine was not injured but received a severe nervous shock.

Senator Mantlersou's Pensions. WASHINGTON, August 24.—Senator Manderson has written a letter to the commissioner of pensions asking to have a medical board designated to examine him physically in order that there may be no doubt of the justice of the increase lately made in his rate of pension. In his letter .the senator says that hiB pension was crated without his knowledge that six examining officers have separately reported that he was unjustly rated, but that before he can accept the increase granted he desired the most rigid examination as to the extent of his present disability. He says in conclusion, that he has no fear of an early death, but that his remaining days would be greatly Bolaced and blessed if a competent medical board could assure him that his pains and ills are the mere figments of imagination and that he is sound in mind and body. For such a result he would almost be willing to apologize for having fought on the right side in the war of the rebellion.

The Illinois Miners.

CHICAGO, August 24.—Judge Gould and Dr. Fred H. Wines, appointed by Governor Fifer as a commission to investigate and report upon the northern Illinois miners' troubles, have presented a voluminous report to the governor. They find that it is impossible for the miners to subsist upon the wages offered by the operators, but decline to state any conviction that the prefeent market and controlling conditions will justify the operators in offering a higher rate of wages. They state that the facility with which coal can be worked in southern Illinois places the northern Illinois mines under a decided disadvantage in the matter of output and wages. In a report of 12,000 words, the commission fails to recommend any panacea for existing troubles and concludes with the reflection that the situation is as hopeless as it is distressing.

DEER PARK, Md., August 24.—President Harrison signed this morning twenty postmasters' certificates. He also approved the order of the state department changing the consular boundaries in Canada made necessary by the fact that that of Ottawa has been made a consul generalship. Mr. Henry C. Payne, of the national committee, has been on a trip to the new states and today called upon the president. D. M. Ransdell, marshal, of the District of Columbia, and Mr. H.C.Payne dined with President Harrison to-day. Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. McKee and Marshal Ransdell took a vide to Oakland to-day in the president's new carriage. On the way there was a hot box, which necessitated the occupants walking- part of the way. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. McK and Miss McKee, Senator Gorman and others took tea at the cottage of Mr. Stephen B. Elkins to-night.

HAUTE EXPRESS.

WAY DOWN ON THE WABASH

The Club From the City Named Alter Our River is Badly Beaten.

TERRE HAUTE WINS BY A SCORE OF 19 TO 1.

The Public is Informed, However, By tiie Management, There Will Better Things To-Day.

The Terre Hautes yesterday met me Wabash club team, the team which defeated Danville so badly in two games last week, and the home club gave them the worst drubbing which they ever received. But it was not exactly the fault of the fielding of the visitors which let in so many runB for the home club,, but the hard hitting of the locale, as the summary of fifteen hits with a total of twenty-two baees and eleven earned runs will show. The Wabash club is a good team, but the trouble yesterday was that they tried a new pitcher against a team which is just now hitting the ball hard, and also because they could not touch Dougan, he striking out fifteen of them, and making the remarkable record of striking out seven sucessive batters. He also did some great batting, hitting the ball for two doubles and a triple. The Terre llautes are batting harder every day, and with their splendid pitchers and fine fielders they are becoming .too strong for the clubs outside the leagues, and it seems that the only way we can get a close game is to play some of the league clubs. Donovan and fiiteljorg did not return in time for the game yesterday, and Schneider went behind the bat and Stewart was placed in r'ght field.

One difficulty which the local club has experienced throughout this season is the inability of securing good balls, nearly all of the balls which can be secured here being what are known as ."punks." The best balls are picked out at headquarters for the use of the mejorleague clubs, and the rest, with balls several seasons old, are sent to the smaller cities. When a ball lays for a season or two it becomes dead, the cover rots and bursts sometimes before it has been played" with one inning. The writer noticed during a game at Indianapolis recently that when a ball was struck it sounded with a crack, while the balls used here sound with a dull thud, and have no life in them whatever. Yesterday, and for several times lately, some people in the grand stand hissed when Schneider turned to bat left handed in order to bother the pitcher when he had three balls on him.

If Schneider gainB nothing by the change, the disapproval by some of the spectators would be perfectly right, but at least eleven times out of ten he gains his point, as his record in some of the games will show. In the last two games out of twelve times at the bit he struck out once and got first base on balls nine times. Schneider is not the only one who does this turning act, as some players in the National league do it also. Boyle, of the Indianapolis club, did it in last Thursday's game, and as he is a pitcher he surely knows that a point is to be gained in this way. The score for yesterday's game is as follows:

NOTES."-'

Mills is now captain of the Danville team. Both Eiteljorg and Donovan will be here in time for to-day's game.

Dougan made a nice slide to home plate yesterday and was loudly applauded.

Both Dorsey and Watermelon Ben got in three hits apiece yesterday, one of Dorsey's being a two bagger.

Garfield, who pitched for the Pittsburgs the early part of the season, is now with the Springfields.

This morning the Bicycle club team and the Daisy, the Havens, Gaddes & Co's team, play at the park.

The week day games should hereafter be called earlier than 4 o'clock, as it is almost dark before the games end.

O'Brien, who plays second for the Wabash team, formerly caught for a Terre Haute club. This was in 188-1, when Shorty Barnes played short.

A large crowd should be at the park this afternoon. The Wabash team can play good ball, and, with their strongest battery, they expect to defeat the home team.

Berryhill and Preecott, the Wabash team's best battery, will be in the points for the visitors to-day. This is the battery which defeated Danville the two games.

Sporting Newe: Eiteljorg, of the Terre Hautes, is one of the coming twirlers of the country. In a recent exhibition game with Columbus he htJd them down to six hits.

Cod Myere, of the Philadelphia?, is still keeping up his good workX He is at present playing the best second base in

the country, and seldom fails to get at leart one safe hit in a game. Dougan Burely must have taken an injection of the elixir, for the way he is smashing the ball and running bases is remarkable. In the last three gamee he has made one .single, four doublf sand two triples, which is a fine record.

Games yesterday: Cleveland 7, Indianapolis Pittsburg 6, Chicago 2 Boston 9, Washington 3 New York 10, Philadelphia 8 New York 8, Philadelphia 3 Brooklyn G, Cincinnati 4 Columbus 10, Louisville 7 St. Louis 7, Baltimore 4.

The Sporting Newe, printed in St. Louis, has a half column of Terre Haute ball notes this week. It gives the history of each player of the team and contains several interesting notes concerning the team. Ernest Noble is correspondent from this city.

Danville Press: "Dundon, the new pitcher, will probably be in the box for the home team to-day." This is the mute pitcher who started to pitch for the Evansville F. W. Cooks here recently, but'when he had pitched three balls and two of them were knocked over the fence for home runs he retired.

The Terre Haute players saw considerable sacrifice hitting in thegame at Indianapolis Thursday, but they did not have a chance yesterday to make UBe of it, as it was not necessary to sacrifice when they could hit safely, but they no doubt see its importance now. and when facing a good pitcher they will evidently make use of this knowledge.

The great game of the season and the one which will draw the largest crowd ever on the home grounds will be next Thursday with the famous St.. Lauis Browns. This team has won the championship of the American association the last five seasons, and is almost a sure winner this time, having a good lead. Then the greatest attraction will be the presence of Comiskey, the leading base ball general of the present time. The management is under large expense in bringing this great team here, and an immense crowd should turn out.

A liluody Day'a Work.

A MUCH WANTKl) M4N.

Aii KIlsworHt Saloonkeeper Who I* in Trouble With Law OlIicerH. W. B. Stewart, of lOllswortn, is a much wanted man by Sheriff Weeks now. Stewart has been running a saloon in Ellsworth, until a few months ago, and ill some way the grand jury has always gained access to his secrets and rarely failed to indict him. He has paid parts of several tines and parts of several remain unpaid. Last Sunday Mttjor Smock, deputy sheriff, arrested him and brought him to the jail that he might be otliuially called upon to settle. Although Stewart was very averse to these proceedings and Mr. Smock has but one arm, yet' Mr. Stewart was unable to get away until arriving at the jail, Smock was fastening his horse then Stewart took French leave and has been out on that leave since. Stewart does not frequent his home at Ellsworth long at a time and is thus able to evade the ollicers because by the time his presence becomes known he is ready to leave the community again. Sooner or later, however, he will be ollioially called upon to settle these old scores with the state because constant vigilance will be likely to win.
