WILLING TO MAKE PEACE

Prince Bismarck Ready to Resume Friendly Relations with the Kaiser. How the Emperor's Officers Overshot tV51ark iu Obeying Their Paler's Instructions Germany tad Russia on Amicable Terms. Berlin. Feb. 4. The prospect of a reconciliation between Prince Biemark and tbe Emperor William Is Letter than before in the past two years. Prince Bismarck, despite many reports to the contrary, is failing in health. lie has lost some fifteen pounds in weight since last summer, does not sleep well, and is subject to frequent fits of deep depression. The belief that his days are approaching their end has grown upon him recently, and hi feelings toward the Emperor have softened with the growth of the belief. To this is attributed the conciliatory announcement of the Hamburger Nachrichten that it will not attack the foreign policy of the government further, and that it has only praise for the Emperor's conduct during the visit of the Czarowitch. Prince Bismarck's excuse for the change 19 that the government has improved its former policy, but that this is merely a pretext is shown by the fact that at the last . birthday ceremonies celebrated at Friedricbsruhe, Prince Bismarck nimself, at a dinner in honor of both, proposed a cordial toast to William II. The old Chancellor has made the first advance, and but awaits a reponse from the throne. An oflicial dinner was given on Thursday evening Dy Count Von Enlenberg, President of the Prussian Council of Ministers, at which Kruperor William. Dr. Miquel, Prussian Minister of Finance, and other ministers were present. The dinner was distinguished by the entire suppression of all reference to the army bilL The Emperor remained until 1 o'clocV in the morniug, talking about assian fiscal reforms. the extension of the international canal system and social reforms. His Majesty was in high spirits, but not a word escaped him in reference to the eternal subject of the army bill. Probably he finds opportune a period of silence. The Peichstag committee on the army bill has adjourned without date in order to allow Freibeer Von Maltzahn. Secretary of the Imperial Treasury, time to prepare a financial statement. This statement the opponents of the measure are awaiting with eager expectation, in the hope of finding in it further arguments to support their resistance of the bill. WAHL1KE GENKKALS. Another reason for the reticence at present observed in oflicial circles is the recent bellicose speeches made by leading generate who had been ordered to speak out on the necessity of military reforms. These generals, in their enthusiastic obedience to their orders, went beyond their instructions and beat the war drnm in a most violent manner. The terms used by them in their speeohes would have been justified only had Europe been on the ere of a general conflict. General Lenke and General Loweski declared that tho immediate reform of the army was indispensable to the safety of the empire. General Scukopp, speaking at Cologne, said: A storm is about to burst over Europe. Yea, war is imminent. May God find the Emperor, the German princes and the German people ready. If we are not ready we will havo dreamed only a deceptive dream of a united fatherland. We will see sorrowful times like the thirty-years war. destroying tbe progress of civilization. The Emperor knows the gravity of tin situation. The' people ought to trust him and vote the armaments asked fur. If his Majesty draws his sword it will never return to its scabbard until his last enemy is crushed or lie, with his people, is overthrown.'' Talk like this, while the Emperor was trying lo conoiliatu Kussia through the CarowUcb, was not what the government desired. Chancellor Von Caprivi must now regret the withdrawal of the order that commanding otlicers keen clear of politics and political questions. But whatever maj be the ellcct 'of these utteranens outside of Germany, their inlluenceon the Keiohstag will be small. The parliamentary parties have ranged themselves either for or against the measure. Tho fate of the bill rests with the Center party. An unimpeachable Centrist authority declares that a majority of the Prussian Centrists will vote for the bill with slight amendments, while the South German members of that party will continue to oppose the whole measure. The government will thus obtain the small majority of all. Though the mission of General Von Loe. who has been appointed by Emperor William to congratulate the Pope upon his episcopal jubilee, is officially denied to be in any way political, ithas undoubtedly a bearing on the attitude of the Centrists, who compose the Catholic party in Germany, toward the bill. The Prussian Centrists are pleased with the Emperor's selection of Geaaral Von Loe for the mission, owing to the fact that he is the only Prussian general who belongs to the Cath11c Church. Tho German Catholics expect bim to influence Vatican circles Against the Pope's policy of favoring France. Their aspirations are so high that they will try to have a cardinal of German nationality 111 ado the next Pope. GKHMANY AM KUSSIA. Concurrent indications distinctly point to a growth of concord with lines! arising from toe recent visit of tho Czarowitch to Berlin. Oliicials at the Foreign O flic here slate that a commercial convention with Russia is a certainty. The reappointment of a financial aeut of Russia in Berlm marks an important stage in the resumption of tho financial concert that prevailed when the government caused the Keichsbank to rofusrt advances 011 Kussian loaus. This prohibition will soon bo withdrawn. Communications are being exchanged with the Kus-iian Fiuauco Minister iu regard to artificial operations in puper roubles on the German bourse. These will be checked or regulated to the advantage of genuine commercial transactions. Further, since the Czarowitch's return to St. Petersburg the Czar is credited with instructing General Gourko, the Governor of Warsaw, who was recently summoned to St. Petersburg, to suspend the execution of the plans for massing troops along the German frontier. The Czarowitch has sent a telegram to the colonel of the Westphalian Hussars, of which regiment the Czarowitch is honorary colonel, saying: "1 um filled with sentiments of sincere gratitude toward Emperor William for his gracious attentions to me, which I warmly appreciate." The members of Emperor William's immediate circle make much of these symptoms of renewed amity. Hence rumors are currontoi a meeting of the Czar. Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph. Humor also has it that the Czarowitch will revisit the Berlin court during the coming summer, and that a conference is being arranged between the Czar und Emperor W llliam. But. notwithstanding all these rumors of pacific intentions, which have certainly roacbed Kuesia, the Pussian nowspapers of pro French opinions take special occasion now to recur to expressions of nostility to Gorman 7. For instance, the Novosti declare that war is an absolute necessity, and that the inonarchs will prove powerless to avert it. Germany, it says, is going headlong towards events compared with which the war of 1370 will be as child's play. The King of Wurtemberg has left Berlin, having beeu otlenried by an incident that occurred at the opera. Emperor William, with much emuressmcnt. made the King of Saxony precede him when quitting the royal box, while, without giving the King of Wurtemberg auy onion, he passed out before hi 111. The Hawaiian question is not exciting great intercut hero. It is understood that tne Imperial Foreign Oftico will be willing to support an American protectorate over Hawaii on the condition that Germany receives some compensation in ama. Tho present situation in Samoa cannot be long tolerated, and it is the opinion of the For eigu Othco that the Hawaiian business oilers a good opportunity to obtain a new and permanent arrangement as regards 25am on. A remarkable epUode occurred in tho Alsatian Die;, at r-trasburg. on Thursday, when Deputy Petri, formerly a stanch opponent of the German regime, declared.

amid approving exclamations from many of his colleagues, that the time of the antiGerman or protest party was past. "We have made our peace with the new order of things." he said. He demanded, however, that tho Peichsland be raised to the rank of an autonomous German federal state. The appointment of William Walter Phelps to a lay judgeship in New Jersey has caused great satisfaction among tho host of personal friends which the American minister has made here.

CLOSE SIIAY I OK CHICAGO BANKS. Shrewd Scheme That Came Near Netting Its .Manipulator Many Dollars. CniCACo, Feb. 4. An evening paper publishes the following: "Several Chicago banks have had a close shave from being swindled out of amounts ranging from $3,COO to $6,000 by a trio of New York schemers. The story eays that two sharpers from New York approached Mr. Scott, of the Illinos Bath-tub Company, and proposed that they form a gigantio company and enlarge the present factory's capacity. The trio visited F. II. Holton. of the firm of Holton & Co., plumbers supplies' Boston, and after dilating upon the future of the company, offered bim tne oxclnsive Eastern control of the bath-tub if ho would take S40.0CO worth of stocK. Holton was to give muety-day notes for .V),000. and the two would semi East $10.000 in cash at the time of maturity. The Manhattan Plumbers' Supply Company, of New York, were similarly induced to sign, notes for &0.000. E. II. Mills, the big plumber and supply man of Philadelphia, was next visited, and he is said to have signed papers to the extent of $00,000. Then the trio sang the same tala of riches to plumbing-supply men of Utica, Rochester, Pittsburg and other Eastern cities. Then they carao to Chicago with over $200,000 worth of discountable paper iu their gripsacks. Before their operations were headed off they had discounted over $70,000 of it. At both the Fort Dearborn National Bank and Metropolitan National Bank they discounted five thousand dollars' worth of the notes and tlrew out the larger portion of the cash to their credit. The same scheme was worked on the National Bank of Illinois, the Amevican Exchange National Bank, Chicago Trust Bank, the Atlas National. Central Trust and Savings and other banks. In each one the scheme of depositing cash, leaving it alone and securing discounts on the paper was worked. Mills and Holton, it is said, met in New York and discovered that tho same things had been promised to both of them. They at once sent an attorney to Chioago to Jook after their notes, and he induced tho banks to charge the notes held against the cash balances. Thin so alarmed the trio that its members departed at once. Cashier Hammond, of the National Bank of Illinois, admitted that he had discounted 6,000 in paper for the combination. "I was saved by an attorney who notified me that the men were sharpers. They received no cash from me, however, as I had fortunately credited the amount to the concern. We lost nothing, but it was a closo shave.'' JOHN IICNTIXGTOYS BEQUESTS. Over $1,500,000 Given to Education and Charity by a Lata Resident of Cleveland. Cleveland, O., Feb. 4. The will of the late millionaire, John Huntington, who died recently in London, while on his way homo, provides for the founding of an art and polytechnique school in Cleveland. Mr. Huntington bequeathed a cash endowment ot 800.000 to the school, and added his valuable art collections. Other provisions for tbe school increase the endowment to $1.5M,0G0. The Homeopathic Medical College Dispensary receives J 15. 000; the Western Reserve Medical College Disponsary. $25,000. and the Bcthol Charity Association, $-'5,000. The rest of tbe estate goes to his wife nnd children. The estate is estimated as worth more than $3,000,000, more toon half of which is uiven to education und charity. TRADK-UNIONISJI. The Tyranny of These Organizations on the Apprentice Question. N Boston Commercial Bulletin. The arbitrary rules of certain of the labor organizations in regard to ppprenticeship is a growing menace to the full development of American industry. These organizations, for the purpose of giving their members a monopoly, havo limited the number of young men to whom they will allow the trade to be taught to such an extent that any expansion of the business is always attended with difficulty in securing the help needed. When additional labor is wanted, it is necessary to secure it abroad. One of the most llagrant instances of this abuse is that furnished by tho Window glass-workers' Association. This organization not only restricts the number of apprentices to the lowest limit, but actually discriminates against boys of native stock. This attempt to keep the trado entirely in foreign hands and all such efforts should be strongly rebuked and utterly condemned. Its despotism is apparent from tho statement that an apprentice (limited at one to live workmen) must get a card from tho society and have it vised quarterly, in about the same way ono would bis passport in Pnssia. under penalty. Labor organizations aro necessary and dosirable, but when they pass a certain point and become, ns gome of them havo, organizations for oppression and outrage they ore against public policy and should bo wiped out mum A New Heaven In tho IStue-fira Country. Lexington. Ky.. Feb. 4. Mrs. Laura Francis, an aunt of Governor Francis, of Missouri, has established a branch of Schweinfurth's "Heaven" in this county. Mrs.Francis,togethcr with her husband, was expelled from the Christian Church at Richmond, Ky., because of their belief in Schweiufurtb. She interested Mrs, Dovey Anderson, a wealthy widow of this county, who is related to many prominent people, and the result is a Schweinfurth establishment at Mrs. Anderson's elegant country home near here. Two other women are with, them, and they aro making many converts to the now aud peculiar faith. All four of these women are deeply sincere, and they aro making converts every day. Evidence Against the Homestead Riot Leader. Pittshuro. Feb. 4. The trial of Jack Clifford, charged with murder, was resumed . to-day. Several clerks nnd other employes of the Carnegie company testified to seeing Cliilord about tho mill during the night of July C. Some of them said he was engaged in throwing dynamite at tbe barges; others that be was throwing ignited bottles filled with oil; while one witness said Clifford carried a can of powder into tho pumphonse. and that he acted as a leader to the mob and had dictated the terms ot surrender. Several other witnesses testified to seeing Clifford taking dynamite sticks from a box and handing them to others, who threw them at the barges. Negro Killed While Sparring. NewOklkans. Feb, 4.

Letter from Cardinal Gibbous That Will Surprise Many Good Catholics. Action of fio Archiepigcopal Conference at tiew York Withheld Till Mgr. Satolli Was Appointed Apostolic Delegate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Chicago, Fob. 4. When tbe news was cabled from Home that Mgr. Satolli was appointed permanent panal apostolic delegate to the Roman Catholic Church of America the friends of Archbishop Corn gab, of New York, nearly all regarded it us in tbe nature of a rebnke to that ecclesiastic. On tbe other hand, the followers of Archbishop Ireland, of St. Panl, insisted that it carried with it an indorsement of the tatter's attitude on cbnrcb matters in this ; country. The press of the country. both clerical and secular, was lillod with the opinions. and statements of prieatw and lAvmen as to tho eflect that Mgr. riatolli's appointment would .Lave npon the warring factions in the church. The consensus of opinion tended to the belief that now that nn apostolio delegate had beeu placed id this conutry the hierarchy wonld be more conservative iu action aud in timo becomo reconciled and united. The article iu the Chicago Sunday Post in which Archbishop Corritfau was accused of conspiracy aud misrepresentation of facts in regard to ecclesiastical matters, however, caused farther ill feeling. The friends of Archbishop Ireland wero jubilant over the alleged exposure of intimidation, conspiracy and duplicitv on the part of Archbishop Cor - i. The friends of the latter r that the article was false and rnalici L'uder the counsel and admonition 01 diplomatio leaders the warring elements might still have been subdued, but for tho following letter, addressed to every archbishop in the United States, which has found its way into the bauds of the United Press: Cardikal's Residence. Baltimore. Md., Jan. 10,1 sua. My Dear Arohbisiiop On tbe inornin of tbp 4th ot January last I posted an otliclai letter to his Hollne;, iu the name of the Archbishop (in care of Dr. U'Councll), in which I Kct forth tho resolutions of the conferenco of the archbishops, at Sew York. relative to the appointment of a permanent apostolio delegate for this country. It hns now reached Itome, and Dr. O'CVumell cables ice to know whether, in vlaw of tho recent action of the Holy Father appointing the delegate, tho letter ought to bo presented to his Holiness or withheld. I would' bo much obliged to your (race if you will te lejcraph or write mo Immediately what you think outfit to be done. I remain of your tirace tho sincere friend. J. Card. Glm:)s. This letter created a sensation among its recipients. In an interview with u United Press reporter to-day, a distinguished Catholic said: "Tho contents of that letter are positively staxtling. It clearly indicates a conspiracy of the boldest character. '1 htt archepiscopal conference was held in New York Nov. IS. last year. Shortly afterward Dr. O'Connell left lor Home. At the same time, ami presumably on the same steamer, Archbishop Ireland and the authorities of tho Catholio University at Washington sent letters to Pome, stating that everybody in this country would welcome with delitibt the appointment of an apostolio delegate. "Meantime the report of tho conference relative to the opposition ot the archbishops with regard to the appointment of imch delegate still remained in the hands of its chairman. Cardinal Gibbons, whos otlicial duty it was to communicate it to tho Pope. Not until, his letter e.tates. some six weeks after the meeting, was that information forwurded to Pome in tho caro of Dr. O'Connell, and presumably with instructions not to deliver it to tho Holy rather until ho had received advices from Cardinal Gibbons. In the meantime, a dispatch comes from Pome, from Dr. O'Connell himself, announcing that Mgr. JSatolli had received tho ap-

Cut 40 per cent. pomtment of permanent apostolic delegate. and this. some two weeks before tho report of the New York conference camo to his bands for delivery to the Holy Father. Tie inference is apparently clear that the information in regard to the opposition of the American hierarchy was purposely withheld in order to give the minority timotorepresentto the Pope that the sentiment was entirely in favor of tho appointment. Dr. O'Connell himself was tho first to announce the appointment of Mgr. Satolli, through a cablegram to the Catholic University at Washington. "Now that thefactbasboen accomplished tho Vatican remaining in ignorance of the true stato of atlairs Cardinal Gibbons announces that tho report has at last reached Home, and wisnes to know if It would be worth while, in the opinion of his brothor archbishops, to let his Holiness know of tho true sentiment ot tho hierarchy in resurd to - the appointment of on apostolio delegate. Does not that smack strongly of conspiracy! Mark my words, tho majority of archbishops will insist on tho report being presented to his Holiness, even at this late day. 1 believe the Holy Father will be surprised when he reads the report, and will, without doubt, take some measures to rebnke the peoplo who have misrepresented to him the atlairs of the church in the United States, and will also censure Cardinal Gibbons for withholding the report of the archiepiscopal conference until the apostolic delegate had been appointed." It will ho seen from t bo above that the end of the controversy has not been reached. Stolll Will Sink n Tour. Washington, Feb. 4. Mgr. Satolli has received from Cardinal Pampolla the papal document establishing the permanent apostolio delegation in the United States. As soon a spring opens the papal delegate will start on au extended tour over the United States. He will visit tho bishops and their dioceses in order to become more familiar with tho chnrch in this country. GENEHAL WEATHER I1ULLETIX. IToreciftt lor Sunday. Washington, Feb 4.

"What are known as alkali spots upon the Western plains," said the Gothatnite who had herded cattle for some seasons in tho Northwest, "are whitish places on the prairie, sometimes covering many acres. Hero the alkali is exuded from tbe soil and has tho appearance of lime sprinkled over the surface. This appearance is most noticeable where the soil is damp. Some of theso places are of a marshy character, and some of 'them, tnougn this is rare, are veritable quagmires, as delusive and dangerous as the quicksands of the Platte. They can be described only as a network of swamp holes separated by narrow strips of lirm soil, the entire snrfaco appearing tho same, and equally firm. A spongy soil or crust of varying thickness covers the holes, aud one might never suspect their oxisteuco until, break ing thrpugh, he sinks rapidly into a mushy, clinging, inextricable mire. "Herding cattle in Wyoming, my closest companion for months had been a young man twenty-four years of ase, a handsome fellow with cIahsIc features, a wellmolded ligure. a good rider, and a crack shot. The rougher boys often twitted him about his fair, shapely hands, and his Care of them, for when on duty ho always wore heavy buckskin gloves. Ho was roticcnt, and said little about his past life, but expressions be dropped and his Knowledge of college sports convinced me he was a collego man. Many ninhts far from human habitation, in the open air wo slept bet ween the samo blankets or watched the herd while communing with our tnoughts aud talking to tbe stars, which seemed so much nearer and brighter than in the faraway Pastern home. "It oame about that one day after a round-up thirty head of cattle were missing from the herd. There was a suspicion that they had been stolen b? rustlers, but they might have wandered beyond the usual limits of tho range; so tbe next morning my companion and I were instructed by the superintendent to tro iu search of them. We had ridden fort' miles since the break of day, finding no trace of the lost cattle, and. late in the afternoon, had decided to return. In a short time we saw in front of us an alkali spot of unusual size. As wo started to cross it my companion was several hundred yards to mv right and a short d'stanc aboad of me. Iu a few moments 1 heard an exclamation from him, and. looking up, saw his horso sinking into a quagmire. Kidiug rapidly toward him, 1 felt the surface waver beueath mo, and knew that the next moment I might myself be engulfed. There wns but one thing to do. 1 asked him if his feet were free from tbe stirrups, and he called back that they were. I told him to clasp his hands abovo his head, and ho did so; 1 mentally measured the distance with a sinking sense of horror and doubt. It was a supremo moment; my lariat described the circle above my head, then cot the air, hovered over him for an instant, descended gracefully and tightened around bis chest, it had covered tbudistance with not an inch to spare. I literally dragged him from his horse to solid ground and safety. He had locked his hands behind his head, his buckskin gloves protecting them, aud they saved bis head and face, so that he brought up with only a fow bruise. It was useless to think of extricating the horse, which had sunk into mire until nothing but his head and neck were abovo the surface, and as w itatted oil' he turned bis head toward us with eyes so sad und a whinny so mournf nl it was almost human. I could not stand it. and, drawiuK my Coil's, aimed and bred. His bead dropped forward. Poor Pete was saved from a horrible lingering death aud the most popular broncho in tho camp was no more. "Now came a new discover. Tne alkali spot was of oblong shape, and as we rode round Iff o avoid another attempt at crosslug, within a space of abont live acres, well towards the centre, wo counted twenty pairs of horns just above tbe surface, ns if they were growing out of the ground. We were satisfied that we had fathomed the mystery of the lost cattle. They hnd attempted to cross the place and had sunk into the swamp holes. In their struggles to release themselves they had naturallv kent chair

Prigham Young's dream of a State of Deseret a sovereign State ruled by the Mormon Church und secure from federal in terference seems about to be realized.

That they have experienced a chango of heart, belief or desire there is not the least evidence aud scarcely the smallest pretense. They are a unit for admission, because statehood means tbat the United States must keep its bauds oil tho domestic afiairsof tbe Mormon State. The Democrats haye long been anxious to make a State out of Utah, and th House of ltepresentatives has passed a bill admitting it to the Union, and the silver Pepublicans in the Senate are in favor of its causing that body at this session, and with the help of the Democrats they hava the power to pass it. Utah produced more than one-seventh of all the silver mined in tho United States last year and its admission means two more votes for free silver coinage in the Senate, aud thoso to whom the free mintage of sliver is tbi chief aim of lite naturally want as many silver States as possible represented in the Senato. This is why some Republican Senators support a measuro which will giyo us an independent Stato ruled by a church, and where the majority of the people believe tbat they are bound to yiel in all things to the eiders of their church, whom they are persuaded receivo from tho Almitfhty tbe thoughts He desires to havo couveyod to His chosen people. Tbo influence of that church is checked and its power limited by the existence of federal authority and the operation of federal laws in the Territory of Utah. Admit Utah into the Union, as is now proposed, and we Will have firmly established in one of the independent commonwealths ot tho Union a State church and a priestly rule. Though the Mormons have, to all appear ance, put aside their plural wires and abandoned their practice of plural marriages they havo never, by word or deed, disavowed their belief in tho genuineness and authority of Joseph Smith's revelation concerning celestial or plural marriages. Their preachers may have stopped ndvocating plural marriages since the penitentiary is open to those who practice that doctrine, but they never preach against it. With Utah a State and the Mormons in control of the Legislature there will be nothing in the way of the revival of the rule and practice so congenial to thee patriarchs of the'desert ilrighain Young died too soon. Had he had the silver issue and Senator Teller to help him twenty years ago he might have been the first Governor and absolute ruler of the Mormon State of Deseret. favors Annexation, rMlftrtdrhia North American. The straigbtforward. sensible thing to do is to annex Hawaii outright and provide for its government by some modification of our territorial system. A protectorate would bo a temporizing compromise, likely after tho manner of comnromises to be dis appointing. No such arrangement could b linal, and eventually wo should be obliged to supplement it by such action as might as well be had now. It's no use making two bites of the cherry. It doesn't make more thau a good mouthful anyhow. A Maine Farmer aud an Intelligent Rat. Phillips Phonoraih.
