WARM DEBATE IN PROSPECT

German Legislators Will Discuss the Kaiser's Recent Ministerial Chances. Clericals and ConserratiYea Are Anxious to 'Show Their Ilostilitj to the Separation of Two Important Offices. ICopTTlfikt. lSDiby the New York AiAocUtcdPreas. . BErxirx, April 2,Tho ministerial changes arising ont of the recent crisis have been definitely completed by the Appointment of Herr Hananer director of the Office of Justice of the Empire. Herr Hanauer -was gazetted to-night as the successor of Dr. Von Bosse. a Secretary of State in the office of . Justice of the Empire. Herr Hananer has a good record as director of the' department. ' " . ; The powers of Connt Von Eulenberg. as President of the Prussian Ministry, will be tested on Tuesday next, when the Centrists in the lower house propose to debate his appointment by challenging the allowance for the President of the Council. The separation of the functions of the imperial Chancellor and those of the President of the Prussian Min. istry necessitated a supplementary credit of 73,000 marks, corermg all expenses of the office. The Cierico-Conservatiye majority rejoice at the chance to show their hostility ' by a rejection of the credit. The National Liberals and the Friessinnige party are also reluctant to grant the money, but will vote for the appropriation this year as a part of the new temporary ministerial arrangement. The whole question of the separation of the functions of the imperial Chancellor and the chief of the Prussian Ministry, and the abandonment of the primary education bill will be warmly discussed. Count Von Eulenberg'a opening speech, as President of the Ministry, disappointed everybody who knew his old form as an orator. Instead of making a clear statement with the ease of ta ready speaker he read his declaration, which was badly drafted and badly phrased. Ilis debut tended to alter the impression that he would become a formidable rival of Chancellor Von Caprivl. Intimate friends of the latter now patronize Count Von Eulenberg as a protege of the Chancellor, who is credited with saying that he means to familiarize the new cnief with the work of the Chancellor and the Foreign Office and then retire. ' WILL GIVE THEM A PARTING KICK. The present session of the Landtag will close on the 6th inst. The members are bafllod and furious over the withdrawal of the primary education bill. The ClericoConservatives will give the government a parting kick, but even the rejection of the credit made necessary by the separation of the functions of the imperial Chancellor and the chief of tho Prussian Cabinet will not lead to an immediate ministerial crisis. The government may refer the question to ,the new Landtag. The Centrist leader. Herr SchorlemenAlst, in a speech recently made at Essen, announced that the resumption of the education bill would be the foremost plank in the electoral programme of the Centrist Deputies. A joint delegation has been sent to the Vatican containing a similar intimation. Count Von Scouvalofl, the Russian embassador to Germany, haa made overtures to Cbanoellor Von Caprivl with a view to the restoration of the commercial en tente between Kussia and Germany. No news for a long time has awakened more interest than has this in diplomatic circles, where tho report was at first discredited. It. however, received confirmation to-day from St, Petersburg. The initiative was taken by Connt Von Scouvaloff, who

has lor a . loncc time been trying to induce the Czar to consent to a renewal of friendly commercial relations with Germany. The Czar is reluctant to give his assent to the renewal of the relations; and has voted his acceptance of his embassador's proposals by the appointment of a commission charged with regulating the commercial relations of Kussia with foreign nations. This commission consists of Count von ticouvaloft. M. Da Uiers. the Foreign Mm later; M. Vishnegrasky, Minister of Finance; State Councilor Tunirjasef, with Privy Councilor Abasa, minister, without portfolio, aa president. The Czar has directed the commission to first coneider the settlement of the entente with Germany. This news ought for a time, at least, to check the war rumors, which are largely traceable to the Kreuz Zeitnng. The leading solid fact regarding war prep arations is that the Russian army is not fit for the field. The new equipments will not be ready before the autumn of 1SOL A DIPLOMATIC 6URFRISE. Another diplomatic surprise was the decision of the Anstro-Hungarian government to accord Hungary separata representation at foreign courts. Some step of this nature, it has been known at theChan-collorj-here, would probably be approved by Emperor William and Chancellor Von Caprivl. though, as chiefly a matter of Austrian policy, they had no right directly to interfere. Dr. Weklere, the Hungarian Minister of Finance, in the lower house of the Hungarian Diet at present, to-day announced thatlthe government would examine as to how a proper expression could be given to the national position of Hungary in foreign affairs through special intercourse with foreign courts. Dr. Weklere added that negotiations on tho subject were pending and he hoped soon to be ablo to communicate the result to Parliament. The announcement is gratifying to every Hungarian group. Dr. Weklere declined to state how the change would operate. ' The negotiations for a commercial treaty between Germany and Spain are delayed by the demand that Germany shall be granted advantages equal to those which tho United States has obtained in her trade With the Spanish islands. Prof. Felix Adler, of Now York, is here. His visit is made for the purpose of studying the system of manual training in use in the German schools. United States Consul Reck; with his family, has arrived at Sonneburg, and has assumed charge of the office. The Deutsche Dank and the National Bank have entered into a bond of $25,000 to secure the carrying ont of a project for the erection of a typical German village at the Chicago Columbian exposition. The 'American paper, the presence of which, in the reading-room of the public library of Aix la Chapelle, occasioned the prosecution of the director of that institution by the royal procucator, is the New York Puck. it has peen learned that Prince Alois Fehwarzenberg. who. it was reported from Vienna, bus been missing for a number of days past, is in seclusion with an actress of Vienna. Poultney Bigelow, of New York, and the artist Remington will start in May on a canoe trip from Berlin to the Baltio and St. Petersburg. Mrs. Chapman Coleman, wife of the American charge d'atlaires. has loft Germany for England. She will sml from Southampton on the 13th inst. Her destination is Keutucky. Messrs. W. C. Edgar and E. J. Phelps, of Minneapolis, have gone to Libau to attend to the distribution of the supplies for Russian famine sutlerers. sent from the United States on tho steamer Missouri.

Fcnr Twelve-Yar-Old Boys and One Eleven, Who Told a "Fishy" Story at rittfibor. Pittsburg, April 2. "Where did yon come fromf asked Judge McKenna of John Skim, a twelve-year-old boy, who was arraigned before him this morning on a charge of vagrancy. 'From the Windy city, your Honor," repliea the boy. with a knowing wink at his four companions, who were charged with the same often se. . .. The attention of officer Peonies was attracted to the boys last night by their lortd clamoring for admittance Into the Farmers' Hotel, on Fourth avenue and Ferry street. The officer questioned the boys as to where they came from, but could get no reply. They simply said that they wanted a night's lodging, stating that tbey were willing to pay any price. The olljcer suggested the St. Charles, and volunteered to conduct them there. On the way to the hotel another officer was met and the whole party was placed under arrest. After being landed in tho lock-up the boys gave their names as John Skim, aged twelve years, Chicago; Martin Maloue. Cleveland. O., aged eleven; Thomas Richards. Dulutb. Minn., aged twelve; John McCarthy, Sacramento. Cal., agod twelre, and James Driscoll. of Austin. Tex., aged twelve. The boys say that they all mut at Alliance on Thursday, and by agreement camo to Pittsburg. Last night they landed in tho freight .varus and wero huuting for a lotlg-ing-house until arrested by the police. They wcro found to have plenty of money and their clothes were in exceptional condition, evidently being new. Each of them said that their parents were dead and that they had been thrown on the world to shift for themselves. Judge McKenna did not believe their story, but on tho other hand thought they were sons of well-to-do parents and that they had run awajr from home. They were sent to the work-house until their story can be looked into.

DUEL WITH RIFLES. One of the Principals Shot Dead The Murderer and the Seconds Arrested. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New Orleans, La., April 2. News has just reached here of a fatal duel with Winchester rifles on Turn bull's island, at the mouth of Red river, yesterday morning. The principals were Michael McGowan and Andrew Kirk, both citizens oi West Melville. The duelists, together with a number of friends, crossed the river at 8 o'clock, and the distance of one hundred paces was measured olT and the meu placed back to back. When the signal to turn was given, MoGowan tired, but missed his adversary. Kirk calmly leveled his rifle, and, taking deliberate aim, shot McGowan in tho head, the ball entering near the left eye and coming out at the right ear. The wounded man fell to the ground and expired almost instantly. The sheriff had learned of the intention to fight a duel and had followed the party. Ho reached the scene a few minutes after the shooting and arrested Kirk and the seconds. The cause of the duel dates back about two years. Kirk was engaged to marry a young woman, but on account of slanderous stories circulated about him the engagement was broken. He accused McGowan of being the author of tho stories and bad blood between the men has existed since that time. TWO MISSING GIRLS. Lost Somewhere Between Liverpool and Pittslnr, Possibly in Wicked Gotham. FlTTSBURG. Pa.. April 2. Lizzie Stent and Annie Gale, two girls aged thirteen and fourteen years, have been lost somewhere between Liverpool, England, and this city. The former is a daughter of William Stent, of the Free Found. Mr. Stent cabled police headquarters and asked for aid In rinding the girls. Mrs. Stent was very much worried over the altiir and wept bitterly as she repeated the story to the police. Sho said: "About two years ago my daughter Lizzie and my sister, who aro about the same age, were sent to Reinfall, Germany, where they have an uncle. I sent them there to be educated, and on March 16 they sailed from Liverpool on board the City of Paris, which arrived in New York over a week ago. I got a letter from thoir nncle, in which he said they had sailed on that day. We have been telegraphing Castle Garden, but find no trace of them. Wo are positive they sailed on that boat, and they must be lost some place in New York. Both girls are largo for their age, and can speak English very well. I am fearfnl that some stranger has picked them up and nnder some pretext got them away. They had some money with them, bnt 1 don't know just how muoh. It may have been a great dealor a very little sum." DAILY WEATOEK BULLETIN. Forecast for To-Day. Washington'. April 2. 8 p. m. For Ohio and Indiana Generally fair till Monday night; west winds.

WILL BE WEALTHY INDIANS

Sisseton and Wabpcton Sioux Sold Their Reservation at a Goodly Price. They Own Cattle, Belong to Church and Saj Grace at the Table, bat lhve Not let Learned the Value of Money. "How many readers of the Journal are interested in what is going on in the far Northwest?'' asks John II. Martin, at present a sojourner in Watertowu, S, I). Mr. Martin, brimful of information, kindly answers his own question. "Why," said he, "you can hardly imagine tho' interest taken by Indianians in South Dakota and the numberless inquiries lam called upon to answer by letter from my ofiice at the Kicollct House, Minneapolis. In tfie first place, the State is for Harmon, and is entitled to consideration ou that account, but Watertown in of particular interest now for the reason that, in a short time, it will be the point toward which will wend at least ten thousand men in search of homes. "Where is this wonderful .place!'' inquired tho reporter. 'Watertowu," coutinued Mr. Martin, witb tne calmness of a cold statistician, "is -235 miles west of Minneapolis, the western terminus of tho Minneapolis & St. Louis railway, OtX) miles northwest of Chicago. It is also the northwestern terminus of the Burlington & Cedar Kapids Northern railway, lioth of tbefie lines are parts of the great liock Island system. lint what gives Watertown its reat interest now is that in less than two weeks, that is, ou April 15. at high noon, the Sisseton and Wabpeton Indian reservation will be thrown open to homestead reservation. Judging from the Oklahoma scramble at lea.st live thousand men will be in lino on that eventful morning, the head of the lino being at the door of tho government land ollice at Watertown. and the tail stringing out like a blacksuaku whip too miles or more. Watertown is the on!y place where 1CJ acres of land may thus bo taken in. There arc 5T5.CO0 acres, or four thousand farms of liio ncres each and the prizes are well worth contending for. "Who are eligiblo to these lands?" "Any citizen of tins country or any one who has declared his intention to become a citizen, any widow of anyugewbo is tho head of a family, any woman who is twen-ty-ono years old or more. Tho southern lnuit of this reservation, which is wedneshaped, and the southern limit is the point of the weditn. lios three miles north of Watertown. It is one of tho finest tracts of land in America. It is ubout seventy miles long and forty miles wide on itsnorth line a land of prairie, lakes and running stroams. There is considerable timber about the hikes. It bhould bo borno in mind that this reservation is surrounded by cultivated farms, numerous vilbigesand good market towns, with schools and churches as plenty as in the farming communities in Indiana." "On what terms did the covernment get this tract irom tho Indians?'' "As showing tho value of these lands the government pays to tho Sisseton and Wappeton Sioux $2.50 an acre, or about $1,500,000, This means an average of S'JOO to each buck, squaw and pappoose in these two tribes. Besides this, every Indian of these tribes, big and little, without regard to age, 6ex or previous condition, is allowed to retain ICO aores of their own selection. They are now choosing Their lands among the lakes that abound in the western portion of tho reservation, but which orenot shown in this little map. "These Indians live in houses, have large herds of cattle, and are members of tho Episcopal Church, say grace at table, have schools and chnrch. They aro a great deal liko white folks, and yet they are red Indians, just the same. Thoy have not yet learned to appreciate tho value of money. Ho understands barter and can trade horses, ponies or lands with great shrewdness for any commodity that he may want. But when the white man puts money into the red brother's hand the untutored child of the forest doesn't know what to do with it. lie usually gets rid of it as soon as possible and for the most trilling things. This lack of appreciation of money values was shown when they wcro paid the first installment of $."00.0J0 on their land. Tho payment was made not long since at Watertown, and they gavo up many dollars for the strangest assortment of bric-a-brac yon could imagine. Ono of the bucks, in exchange for a largo wad of his land indemnity, became the possessor of a hack which must have come down from the seventeenth centnry, and now Mr. and Mrs. Wau-din-pi-du-ta, and the scions of that house, lide over the reservation the envied of the Sisseton 400. At least they did until Mr. Ta-cau-du-pa-ho-tan-ka came to Watortown and gavo up &XK) for a badly battered hearse. Itisasmht to see the latter Indian gentleman with his now turn-out, his squaw and himself proudly perched on the seat, the ribbons holding four fiery Indian ponies, while the family pappooses, six in number, are squatted inside the hearse. It is now conceded that the brave who bought the hack is not in it, especially as the hearso has two sets of plumes, one white, used at night, and one black, used in day driving. "A while aao a Yankee peddler came on the reservation with a larse supply of brass clocks. They looked very gay, and eaught the eyes of the red brothers. When the Yankee left the reservation every head of a family had a clock, and ho had a twohorse load of silver dollars. Tho novelty of a striking clock soon wore oft. and the Indians wanted to see what was inside them. They discovered a w calth of wheels, and lost no time in taking them out. Many of them are now richly-prized orna ments, doing dnty as ear-rings, hanging from the ears of brave bucks and dashing squaws. $3.63-To Chlcago-$3.iS Via the Pennsylvania Line from Indianapolis.
