A J- ,, AX OBSEKYING GERMAN EDITOR. ' Wh at He Saw and Heard During a Fire Months' Stay in the Fatherland. New York, May 15. Editor O.ttendorfer, of the Staats Zeitung arrived yesterday on the steamship Werra, from Bremen, after an absenco of five months in Europe, and is improved in health and glad to get back to the grandest country under the sun. Mr Ottendorfer spent nearly the whole of last winter in the Tyrol, but he traveled from one end of Germany to another, and kept his eyes open. Last evening, at his residence, on Seventeenth street," he said: "I met our Samoan commissioners in Berlin, and they seemed to be confident of carrying their points, because Bismarck was so gracious. They asked for the independence of the islands, and that the people be not interfered with in their internal affairs. Tho news of the release of King Malietoa was received in Berlin while I was there, and it created a favorable impression. 1 told Commissioner Phelns, however, that he had better look sharp lest the Chancellor steal a march on him. It is altogether likely that King Malietoa, who was in the hands of the German marines for two years, is now a mere tool of Bismarck's. "Tho young Emperor Wilhelm is suffering from a trouble in his head which has made him partially deaf, and fears are entertained that it will become serious. He spends a largo part of his time inspecting Germany's military establishment, which is undoubtedly the finest in the world. I saw soldiers everywhere, and tho subject of the military was uppermost in the minds of the people. Just at present Germany is changing its small arms for those of lighter caliber, but this is only postponing the inevitable event of war between France and Germany. The people understand this, and feel confident that they can give the Frenchmen a sound threshing when tho time comes. "Russia is competing with the United States in illuminating oil, and the refiued petroleum from the Caspian region, although much inferior to our kerosene, is fast gaining a foothold all over Europe. In thin trade tho Russians seem to put up their oil in old barrels, formerly used and branded by the Standard Oil Company, and, of course, this is more or less of an imposition." Englishmen Still Bajlng Breweries. Detroit, May 15. Tho titles in tho extensive brewing plants of A. Gobel Co., the Bavarian Brewing Company, the Endriss brewery, and the brewery and bottling works of Jacob Mann, all of Detroit, passed, yesterday, into the hands of representatives of a company formed in England for the purpose of taking over tho properties, ana they assumed tho management of the newly-acquired properties at the close of business last night. The price paid is 425.000, in cash and bonds. The stock has all been disposed of in England, and is now quoted at a premium. There aro other breweries here that are likely to be absorbed within a short time by the same parties. Tho sale, as commented upon by some, is considered detrimental to American trade, as such large amounts of money will be withdrawn yearly from the United States by the beer syndicate to pay their foreign stockholders." 'Woman Suffrage In 3Ifcnlgnn. Lansing, Mich., May 15. The woman's municipal suffrage bill was passed by tho House to-day. It was made a special order for ":C0p. m when every available space for spectators on the floor of the house was filled, with many iu the galleries besides. Attacking the I louse wife's Pocket-Hook.

AKMSTKONli & CO.'S Surgical Instrument House, V'2 South Illinois street LIQUOR MEN SWINDLED. A Tonng Man Who Changed Bad Whisky Into tho Finest Secures Many Thousand Dollars. Chicago, May 15. A scheme rivaling in eome respects the famous electric sugar-refining swindle was exposed here to-day. The perpetrator is a sinooth-manneredyoung fellow named John Archibald Comp, whose papers indicate that he has been operating not only in Chicago, but also at Kansas City, St. Louis and Cincinnati; Comp is now missing, and it is said that a good many thousand dollars belonging to various distillers and liquor-dealers have disappeared with him. Comp stopped at the Metropolitan Hotel, and according to the report, to-day, of the detectives who have been investigating the matter, he was visited by scores of dupes. The fellow pretended to possess a compound which would change poor whisky into the tinest of highwines. A gallon sample of the vile stuiF, alter being medicated, would be placed in a refrigerator, and in ten minutes could be taKeu out transformed into the linest bourbon. If objection was made to the refrigerator, Comp would accompany the doubter to any place desired, and then, retiring to a private room, accomplish the same feat wuuoui me reirigerator. turns out, however, that the refrigerator was really, as suspected, a clever device by which a bottle containing good whisky was substituted for the bad. Tho trick, when performed elsewhere than at the refrigerator, was done by means of a tin breast-plate, or armor, worn under Compjs clothing. This armor was double, and was in reality a reservoir which, by means of a concealed tube, could be emptied or filled at wilL Comp was inveigled into taking a detective into partnership with him, but, when an arrest was contemplated, he smelt a mouse and fled, leaving behind the refrigerator. lie carried off the armor. . , A DISTINGUISHED GATHERING. Gen. Felix Agnus Entertains Many Prominent Persons Mr. Blaine Makes a Speech. Baltimore, Md., May 15. General Felix Agnus, the proprietor of the Baltimore American, entertained about 400 gentlemen from New York, Philadelphia, Washington and Maryland at his beautiful countryseat, Nacirema, this afternoon. A distinguished party came over from Washington. It consisted of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Interior, tho Secretary of Agriculture, Civil-service Commissioner Roosevelt and Assistant Secretary of the Interior Bnssey. They came over in three special Pullman coaches attached to the 11:40 train of tho Pennsylvania railroad, in charge of Robert A. Parke. The party from New York and Philadelphia came under the special escort of George W. Boyd and E. T. Postlethwaite of the Pennsylvania railroad. An elaborate dinner, in courses, with appropriate wines, was served at improvised tables on the lawn. Speeches were made. The Secretary of State was called on to respond to the toast "The President." Mr. Blame was greeted with cheers. He said that he was somewhat in the family of tho President, and ho did not care to discuss a family matter at great length in public. He could not refrain from saying, however, that the people of the United States would find President Harrison above all a iust man. He was capable of administering the government of the United States in a non-partisan way, and before Democrats and Republicans he would recognizo as first in right and highest in honor a citizen of the United States. Mr. Blaine then paid a very pretty compliment to General Agnus. lie said that no colonist had ever become more thoroughly a citizen of the country of his adoption. General Agnus was at once a great Frenchman and a great American. New York Will Bay Dressed ISeeC Albany, N. Y., May 15. The so-called dressed-beef bill came up in the Assembly this morning for final action. Mr. Saxton attacked it as contfclry to the provisions of the United States Constitution. Jts object was to prohibit the importation of dressed beef from other States, in order to raise the prico of home beef. Air. Nixon, the introducer of the bill, made a long prgument in its favor, and attacked the Diessed-beef Trust, declaring that laws similar to this had been passed in many States, including California, Colorado, Minnesota, Indiana and New Mexico, and were in operation, with no question raised as to constitutionality. The bill was then rejected by a vote of yeas 23, nays SO. Seizure of Boer in a Prohibition State. Burlington". Ia.t May 15.

James Townsend, of Richmond, Ind., the colored clergyman who was recently appointed recorder of the Land Office, will reach the city to-morrow. As recorder, Mr. Townsend will be chief of a division where there are a number of ladies employed. There is con siderable anxiety to see Mr. Townsend, and find out what sort of a man he is. Eoine of the employes have expressed the opinion, in a quiet way, that a Colored man ought not to hold that position, but the majority are waiting to see the man before they .make up their minds on this Point. In sneaking about tho objections the employes might have io Mr. Townsend on account of his color, a -.and Office clerk to-day said to a Star reporter that he did not think they would lead to any rash steps on the part of any of the clerks. He said that he remembers that a elerk during the last campaign insisted that if Mr. Cleveland was not re-elected the speaker would at once resiguhis government position. This clerk is still in office," added tho clerk by way of pointing the moral. : A reporter of the United Press says: "The clerks in the general Land Office are much exercised over tho appointment by the President of the Rev. Mr. Townsend, the colored minister, of Indiana, to be recorder in that office. The clerks in the recorder's division are almost entirely ladies. The ladies do not relish the idea of having a colored man as their superior and chief and aro hurrying in applications for transfer to other divisions. Mr. Townsend is expected to take charge of the division to-morrow." WORK OF THE LAST CONGRESS. Amount of Money Appropriated, the Offices Created and Those Abolished. Washington, May 15.

MART YES, NOT TRAITORS. Gen.? Wade nampton Believes Impartial History Will Vindicate Confederate Soldiers. Charleston, S. C, May 15. At the dedication of a monument to the dead soldiers of four German companies in the confederate army, to-day, Senator Hampton made the following address: 4We regard our dead as martyrs, and God forbid that any of their living comrades, their descendants to the remotest ages, should brand them as traitors. Words, my friends, are not merely empty sounds; in the 'domain of history they are things, potent factors not only in shaping events, but in placing these events in a true light before the world, and we should never acknowledge that we were rebels or traitors. That question is to be decided by the verdict of impartial historv and that o'f prosterity, and we may as well be satisfied to commit our cause and our conduct to those august tribuuals. Let me not be misunderstood as discussing the merits of the great conflict which arrayed one section of the country against tho other, which wrought such widespread devastation, and which cost so much in treasure and in the loss of so many precious lives. Tho questions which brought about that unhappy war havo been settled, and he is not a true patriot who. would strive to kindle the fires of sectional hate, or reopen tho wounds which the kind haud of time has healed. No higher duty can inspire the heart cf every patriot than that which impels him to devote all his energies of mind and body to make this country worthy of the admiration and respect of the world; tho fit home, for all time to come, of American freemen. This duty devolves upon us of the South as urgently as upon any other citizens of this broad land, for whatever may have been tho issues which brought about civil war, we must remember that now all. North, South, East and West, have but one country and but one Constitution, to both of which our allegiance is due. ilut while we of the South recognize this fact fully, it does not follow that we should refuse to do honor to the memory of our dead comrades. Tho men who met us in battle would feel a just contempt for us were we base enough to forget those who gave their lives for a cause which they and we believed in our inmost hearts, to be just and right. We should indeed be time-serving cravens if we allowed the memory of these men of their untimely death to pass forever from our hearts, or if we should fail to leavo enduring monuments to them as evidences of our love and our gratitude.1' 7 The Senator closed with an eloquent tribute to the poor and crippled survivors of the war. 3Ilners Terribly Injured by Dynamite.

UNWISE THREATS. The German Emperor's Remarks to tha Stxlklng Miners Severely Condemned. London, Mayl5.The speech of the Emperor of Germany to the committee representing the striking miners of Westphalia, yesterday, wherein he avowed his intention of shooting down Socialists and disorderly strikers without remorse, in event of their persistent agitation and fomentation of disturbances, 'has aroused general criticism, not by any means confined to socialistic circles, both in Germany and England. It is suggested that the autocratio policy enunciated by the Emperor, which could hardly be put in force by the Czar of Knssia, might have been successful in the middle ages, but its success in the present age is almost universally regarded as impossible. The report that tho Reichstag will adjourn within a few weeks is denied in official circles in Berlin. Thee authorities declare that the imperial body will not dissolve until next February, and give cogent reasons for the continuance of tho sessiou until that time. The present disturbances in Westphalia, the threatening attitude of workingmen iu other parts of the empire, and the active aid given to the strikers by. English, Belgian and German Socialists have made imperative the necessity for the immediate discussion by the Reichstag of a definite anti-Socialist measure, to replace the acts at present in force, embodying all of the provisions aflecting socialism in one law. This legislation, it is asserted, will occupy the greater rart of the time of the Reichstag's working days until midwinter. Condition of the Strikers. Beulix, May 15.

The walls of the various towns aro also placarded with warnings to peaceful citizens to remain indoors after sunset. A number of placards, which have been posted In conspicuous places, inciting tho strikers to acts of violence, are variously attributed to tho mining masters and tho Socialists. The women throughout tho disturbed districts are generally opposed to the strikes, and their influence lias induced a few men to resume wo$k. stress is beginning to bo lelt in the families of the strikers, and the committee has issued an appeal for funds for their relief.

His Health May He Had, bat n Continues to Make Trouble for 31any People. London, May 15. Reports of the illhealth of the Emperor of Germany are again current, but are flatly contradicted by dispatches from the most trustworthy sources of Berlin. The monarch is represented to be thinner than usual, and his feverish restlessness knows no diminution, but his mental and physical eDegry is unabated, and the swelling in his ear troubles him less. lie certainly manages to attend to all the affairs of the empire, as his subordinates know to their great discomfort. As an instance of his endeavors to oversco matters which might hardly be supposed to concern him, it appears that he has addressed a remonstrance to the King of Wurtemburg, who deems cx istence unendurable without the company of Mr. Savage, his former intimate. Tho American has led a not uncomfortable life during his practical banishment from tho King's society, the purse of the monarch having been open to him as a consolation for his exile to Stuttgart. One of the Wurtemburg officials, Ilerr Mittcracht. is much disliked by the pcoDle of the little realm, ho being generally considered ai a mere mouthpiece of 1'rince Bismarck, .who is not at all popular here, and his threatened withdrawal from ofiiee if the reinstatement of Mr. Savage takes place will greatly please the populace, although it isdoubtf nl if the King will dare to disregard the intimation received from Berlin. It is a significant indication of the fearless nature of the German Emperor that ho paid no heed to the remonstrances of his most trusted counsellors against the many changes he has made in tne personnel of the staff and line. Tho general officers superseded last year on account of their ago was over eighty in number, eieht of them being corps commanders. Tho indignation of these men. who had grown. gray in ine service ot tneir country, ana vthat of their families and friends, was nat urally intense. Their fall meant the los of dignity and privilege, and, in the case of those without private means, reduction of pay that at any time hardly lifted the recipient above the state of genteel povertv. To all protestations the Kaiser coolly, but somewhat heartlessly, replied that th promotions would gain him asmany friends as the retirements would make enemies, and of a class more likely to live to show their gratitude than tho others were to give any practical demonstration of the illfeelings they might entertain. This proclaimed exhibit of his preference for young otlicers has increased the spirit of junker ism already too dominant in the German army, and which has an ablo exemplary in the person of Prince liohenlohe, as shown in his speech at Metz, wherein ho vaingloriously and threateningly boasted that lsace, won at tho cost of so much blood, shall remain the prize of the victor while there is a German living to defend it.
