TRIED TO IJIl'rlACli J11SI. A Few Minnesota Legislators Bitter Apainst Governor Nelson for Siening the Grain Bill. St. Paul, Minn., April 8. Governor Nelson went to the Capitol last night and signed tbe Peterson grain bill, and tbe bill for a new Capitol, to cost 82.O0O.OCO, at St. Paul. The grain bill passed the House late yesterday afternoon, and tho Governor's basty action almost precipitated a riot in both house). It was openly charged yesterday that corrupt means had been used to pass tho Peterson bill and that Governor Nelson bad held a positive veto of the Capitol bill over tbe beads of tbe St. Paul members in order to force them to vote for tbe urain bill. Tho Governor's signing both bills at night, and together, increased tbe bitterness, and tho storm broke this morning with great lurv. In the Senate a move was made to secure the Impeachment of Governor NeNon. Senator Leavitt started the ball rolling by moving an investigation of tho Governor'n haste in siuniug the Peterson bill. He created a eer.satiou by charging that the bill bad cot even gone to the enrolling committee. Senator (Jrafe, the chairman of that committee, being at his homo at Will in nr. Senator Mcliale and Senator Hompe econded the motion for an investigation iu impassioned speeches in which they said unworthy induences bad been brought to bear to force the bill through tbe House. Senator Hompo said tbe Governor had forced certain members to yote for tho bill upon tbe threat that be would veto the Capitol bill, and ho hoped impeachment proceedings would be begun at the earliest possible moment.

She .was in tow of a steamship belonging to tbe National line, and bound west. Tho news of of the HeKla's situation was brought to this port by the steamship Braunschweig, from Bremen, March 125. The Braunschweig reached the bar to-day. She re. ported huviugspoken the Ilekla at 7 o'clock this morning. Telegrams received later by Funch, Kdye iV. Co., the consignees ot the cargo, and by the Thingvalla nuents. were to tbe etiVct that the liekia was being towed by the steamship America. She has been to wine the Danish vessel for several days. The towing vessel will get an immense sum for alvage. Some maritime aaeuts estimated this afternoon that it would amount to $S),0C0. Marine insurance companies to-day considered tbe Hekla what is technically called a fancy risk. The Danish steamship was nine days overdue So-day. and while tho Thingvalla agents and consignees professed confidence that she would arrive soon, there were reasons for grave doubt that she might have met with more serious disaster than the breaking of her abaft.

PEAKS HIS ROYAL Jil ASTER

Erection of tho Pri nee Bismarck Monument Delayed by Her Von Levilzow. Afraid to Apply the Subscribed Fond to Proper Use for Ffar of 03ndine the Kaiser If iot in Trafalgar Square. BISMARCK'S FRIENDS DISGUSTED. Delay in Erecting the Prince' Monument Dae to Ilerr Von Eevttzot' Cowardice. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL London, April a Like everything connected vrith Bismarck, tbe celebration of bis last birthday has etirred np some bad blood in German politics. Tbe Leipsio Gazette, in apparent disgust with the flatterers in Perlin who try to please the Emperor by slighting the ex-Chancellor, has let loose a torrent of scorn upon Herr Von Levitznw, President of the Keichstag. beoaoso bo refuses to take steps toward applying to its proper uses the Bismarck monument fund under bis supervision. This fund amounts to some 1,00.11X) marks. Contributions toward it were made immediately after Bismarck's fall. and tbe understanding of tbe contributors was that the money was to be applied as soon as 1.000.000 marks bad been collected. Naturally the site was expected to be in Berlin. Since Bismarck began speaking bis minrt about tbe Emperor the committee in charge of the fund, and most conspicuously Herr Von Levitzow, the chairman, havo been paralyzed by the fear that any step toward honoring Bismarck with a monument would offend the Emperor, and hence have allowed tbe fund to lio idle for two years after work had been betrun. TheGAzetteremarksironically that perhaps Herr Von Levitzow has lor2tten about the iund. as a few weeks ago bis lapse of memory bad become so remarkable that he omitted to mention Bismarck as one of the few members of tbe North German Keiobstag who bad eat in the department hoase. If Berlin feels ashamed to honor tbe greatest of modern Germans, adds the Gazette, Leipnic will only be too happy to relieve tier of the duty Hod to grant as a site for the Bismarck monument tho iinest spot within tho city limit. This artiole has been widely quoted and approved, and there is a loud demand that the monument committee either cease lic&ing the Emperor's band or get out of ottice. The monument is expected to be . completed during Bismarck's life, and to fulull thisexpectation it will be necessary for bis admirers to select a site within a few weeks and oiler prizes for designs, as, despite all reports to the contrary, tne 1'rince's health is shattered so completely that bis physician believe he will hardly live to see his eightieth birthday. He has, however, been keeping up bis birthday celebration nil tbe week, holding daily receptions. The number of visitors to Friedricbsrnbe is now falling off. The Prince insists upon spending his evenings witnihis family in quietness, receiving bis visitors only in the . daytime. The torcn-licht procession in his honor has again been postponed to April 11, wnich is tbe anniversary of the birth of Princess Bismarck. The text of the Prince's speech delivered in reply to . tno congratulations of the Bonn students has a strong Bismarckian touoh. He said that when be was a student be did not study. For this be was sorry, because be found later that he could not repair his neglect. "Still," he added. "1 would not have been horritied if my sons bad committed, student-like, tho excesses of students. University life has its advantages in somewhat steeling the character by subjecting it to contact with the criticism of comrades. The sword knot with the university has becomo the backbone of tbe best German otlicial life." Prince Bismarck next told the students how. when Count Herbert Bismarck was a student at Bonn, bo bad been suddenly called to take him hornets he was ill. The Prince found thafilerbert's illness was due to a wound , be bnd received in a duel. In order to evade tbe law Herbert had hurriedly left thespot where the duel bad been fought, with nis wound uubandaged. Ho had washed tbe wound with foal water. Prince Bismarck did not moralize on dueling; be only advised the students that it would be better to be caught than to endanger their health. THE I1EUR1NG SEA CASE. Carter Continues His Reply to Russell's Arcument-An Arbitrator' Question. Pams, April 8. James C. Carter, counsel for the United States, continued, before the Bebring eea court of arbitration yesterday, bis reply to Sir Charles Russell's plea for tbe admission to evidenco of tbe British supplementary report of tbe Behriugfcea Commission. The contention of the counsel of Great Britain, he said, bad been that the question of right in tbe Bering sea must be settled before tbe matter of regulations. The contention of the United States from the beginning of the dispute, however, bad concerned tho regulations The United States hud held, also, that for the settlement of tbe property claim ad-, vanced by them evidenco on seal life in the Behring eea was necessary,' cVoch evidence was contained in ' the original reports of tho Behring 6cn commissioner, and, therefore. tlu-ae reports formed an indispensible part of tbe case and counter case. As for the euplementary report it had not appeared in the matter already referred to, and it ought, therefore, be excluded from tho evidence. UrAt Britain had claimed the power, under Article 7 of tho treaty of arbitration, to include tbe euplementary report in tbe evidence. The article declared that if it bo decided that the concurrence of Great Britain be necessary to establish regulations, tbe report of the joint commission shall tb n bo laid before the tribunal with such other evidence as either government may submit. This Great Britain had construed as a right to introduce evidence astotbe regulations, even after the casu and counter caie had been closed. Article J further, provided that the reports shall not be made public until after being submitted to the arbitrators, or until it shall be seen that the contingency of their being used by tbe arbitrator cannot arise. It was thus made obvious that the question at issue was a crnicial one for the arbitration. If the contention of Great Britain was huh tained it must follow that tbe question of rik'ht was to be decided first, and tbe question of regulation, which the United States regarded of prime importance, must be relegated to second place. Mr. Carter then re.d at length from Sir Julian Pauncefote's correspondence in UUJ to prove that the auetton of regulation was then regarded as one of the tirft consequence. Baron De Conrcel asked whether or not Bussia was a party to tbe negotiations at that time. Mr. Carter I do not know, but I consider tbn ioint unimportant. .Sir Charles Unwell Communications with other powers were held in view. I believe. It who intended nt rirst to ask for their active participation in the convention. Baron De Ctmrcl I ask. because if Russia as commnnicntt d with much more weight would attach lo tbe negotiation. Otherwise the draft of the agreement would be merely an informal document continuing a private diplomatic conversation. My quorttSon may appear pedantic, but diplomatic training leads mo to attach importance to such matter. Communications with ibird powers add weight to such drafts. Mr. Phelps This may be an important question lat r on; meantime, it is of secondary importan-e. Baron de Conrcel Lord lannen. British arbitrator, direct my attention to a dispatch from hir Julian Pauncefote. in which lie- refer to a communication with Russia. Mr. Phelps This is a matter of iudilference. Mr. Carter The scheme was this: Experts were appointed to draw upregnla tiona fr ceal fisheries; if they failed to agree then there was to be arbitration. No question of right or jurisdiction was raised. In replying to Mr. Carter. Sir Charles Russell admitted that Sir Jolion Pauncefote's dispatches, at far as mentioned, were confined to aaestiona of regula

tion. This, be said, was duo to the faot that the intention then was to consult Russia and other powers concerning the relations of the eeal fisheries. If the correspondence were f urtherconeulted, however, it would be found that separate negotiations bad proceeded simultaneously on questions of right and damages for seizure. Baron De Conrcel asked Sir Charles Russell to produce proof of this statement, and Sir Charles quoted from several dispatches that passed between Sir Julian Pauncefote and Lord Salisbury in May. IB 1-0. concern Inir rights and damages. Since then, he added, the question of regulation bad disappeared as a separate subject ot consideration, and all questions had been bandied together in tbe subsequent negotiations. Tbe court adjourned until Tuesday, when it will bold a secret session. On Wednesday the proceedings will again be open to tho public. Mr. John W. Foster, ono of the American representatives in tbe court of arbitration, gove a dinner at tbe Hotel Continental this evening, in honor of the British representatives. tftflCi llano Insinuation. London, Aprils. In reviewing and comparing the speeches of Mr. Phelps and Sir Charles Russell, the Paris correspondent of the Daily News says: Ttstrnok me in listening to Mr. Fbelps's pleadings that, under tbe cover of attacks on the treaty of arbitration, there was a great deal meant to tell against the party that agreed to it at tbe White House. Sir Charles Russell argued that this was not a case for sticking ciose to legal technicalities, bat ono for looking into the inteution of those who signed the treaty. Both statements and counter-statements, he said, contained a series of depositions which would not be valid either in England or the United States as proofs. All evidence of this sort would be inadmissible if tho case had to be decided on purely technical grounds, instead of according to the natural laws of equity and international considerations of justice." CHICAGO'S W ATE It IMIUKE.

Visitors Warned bj the London L.anot Not to Drink It Unless It Ha Ueen Doiled. London, April 8, The report of the commissioner sent by tho Lancet, tbe leading medical journal of Great Britain, to make an examination regarding tbe sanitary condition of Chicago with a view to tbe better information of British visitors to that city during the coming world's fair, states that all the samples of Chicago river water examined showed an appalling pollution by animal refuse, indiscriminately mixed with common sewage. The pollution begins at the mouth of the Chicago river and iucreases until the maximum is reached in the vicinity of the stockyards, near the southern branch of the pumping station, where the filthy condition defied description. At certain points the condition of tbe Chicago river was worse than that of crude sewage. The smell was vile and nauseating. The temperature of the Chicago river varied from S30. Fahrenheit, at the mouth of the river to 44 at the stock yards, while tbe temperatnre of the air did not exceed 2 P. It was safe, therefore, to conclude that the condition of the Chicago river in summer would be more abominable. The analysis of the water of Lake Michigan failed to furnish any distinct evidence of serious pollution. In dealing with the domestic supply, the report emphasizes that it is desirable to tilter lake water for drinking, since not a single sample of the ordinary supply is entirely free of sediment, which, in the majority of instances, consisted of vegetable debris. Numerous organisms, chiefly of the kind peculiar to pond water, were found. In satnDle No. 23, representing tbe water supplied to Northside residents, dead water lieas were found lloating. Tbe Lancet, in commenting on the report, counsels visitors to use no water but that which has been boiled and filtered, and concludes: "Our examination has led on tho whole to a reassuring result; but we cannot feel free from serious misgiving until reassured on the question of contamination by ice. Tbe statistics in our possession show that Chicago sutlered from typhoid fever nearly eight times as much as London in lS'Jl. To our own -people we commend in the strongest terms tho advice to drink no water which has been cooled in contact with ice. To the people of Chicago wo appeal to provide a water supply freo from this reproach." RIOT IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE. Publicans, Itowdle and Teetotalers Engage in u Disgraceful Row. London. April 8. An attempt this afternoon on the part of publicans and others to make an imposing nublio demonstration a'cainst tbe proposed law establishing local option and abridging the privileges of the liquor trade, resulted in a scene of riot and disorder. Tbe plan of tbe managers of the demonstration was to have processions formed in the various districts, all . of them converging into Trafalgar square, where the meeting of protest was to be held. About half past 4 o'clock tbe processions began to reach the square, the lirst being headed by a band and two large banners with the words: "No coercion." Some members of tbe total abstinence societies bad gathered bere to meet the puraders, and these were supplemented by a numerous crowd of the rowdy element, bent on mischief, without much reaard to principle. Fighting soon began between tho rowdies and teetotalers on the one hand and tbe paraders on the other. Iti the straggle banners were torn to pieces and the processions broken tip. The proceedings throughout were disorderly. GENERAL FOKEIGH HEWS. Whet to Do With Jewlialter Ahlwardt a Question Ttint Will Worry the Keichfttiir. Bkrlin, April 8. The Easter recess of tho Keichstag ends on Thursday next. Among the earliest .questions to be agitated when the House reuumes its sitting is ono as to the latitude members like Ahlwardt can be allowed without a breach of the privilege enjoyed by the Reichstag's members. The almost unanimous feeling of tbe House is against wasting any time on Ahlwardt by permitting him to feed bis love of notoriety by purine any further attention to his rseudo levalations. Vet. many members who desire to foster parliamentary rights are reluctant to deal with Ahlwardt so as to establish a precedent which micht operate ngainst a worthier cause. If a way can be found to silence him without encroaching upon tho lull freedom of debate nil sides will feel relieved. The dato of the second reading of the army bill depends upon the appearance of the report of tbe committee, which is now being prepared by HerrGroeber. tbe tecretary of the committee. It is expected that the report will be presented at the end of the current mouth, and that tbe voto of the Keichstag upou the tneasuro will bo taken about the middle of May. Riotous Strikers Routed by Police. London, April 8. A strike that threatens to have serious consequences has been started at Hull, tbe well-known shipping port in Yorkshire.

Sotnethlnc Aboot the System of "Ten Times" Clubs of Edward Everett Hale. New York Ilec order. Edward Everett Hale assumed a heavy load of responsibility when he formed ths idea of tbe 'ten times one" clubs. It was a picturesque and alluring idea, Its beauty was promptly recognized. Probably there are in New YorK to-day a hundred "ten times one" schemes afloat, to say nothing of "four times four" and other variants for paying oil' church debts, raising f unas for temperance sooieties. endow, ingold ladies' homes, establishing trade schools, bolstering np this, that or the next pillar of society, or otherwise seeking to make clear the universal tangle. It is beautifully simple. Ten persons get together and prepare a letter setting forth the object for wbioh money is required, and each sends out to personal acquaintances or others ten copies of it. Each recipient is supposed to contribnte 10 cents and send out ten more copies of tbe letter, with a pathetic adjuration that "any break in the chain will resnlt in serious loss" to tho worthy object explained. The theory is that "10 cents won't break anybody." which is true; but that tho trustees might break down under tbe labor of accounting for the money if everything went smoothly is evident from this simple, computation: The first series yields $ The second series yields 10 The third series yield...... ...... loo Tho fourth series yields 1,000 The fifth series yields 10,000 The sixth series yields loo.ooo The seventh series yields 1,000,000 The eighth scries yields 10,000,000 . Tbe ninth series yields lOO.ooo.OOO The tenth series yields 1,000,0U0,CKJ0 Total of ten series $1,111,111,111 So that, if there were "no breaks iu tho chain." a ten times one plan which reaobed only the tenth series ought theoretically to yield over $1.00aOOO,(XXX Practically there are difficulties in the way, a minor one being that there are not inhabitants enough on earth to receive and answer the letters, and that postal communication with Mars and other superterreetrial abiding places i slow and irregular. Other interesting results might be figured out from these data. The 1.111.111.111 letters of. say. S00 words each would contain 333.:3.333.809 words and consume, at a moderate estimate, 187,223 years of labor, at ejgbtbous a day, Sundays and holidays excepted. Tbe stationery used, if of good quality from the senders' private stock, would weigh about 10,000 tons. It would take five trips of a big Atlantic freighter to bring it from Liverpool to New York. Laid end to-end. th& sheets of paper would reach more than lOO.fcO miles, or four times around the earth. A railroad train running night and day at the rate of the Chicago limited would get over them in a little more than three months. The ink used would float a ship in the dry-dock of tbe Brooklyn navy yard. The worn-out pens laid end to end would reaoh in a line from New York to Denver. Tho incidental profanity but bere mathematics is at a loss, and all is mere con jecture. To tbe unprejudiced it will oocur that the "breaks in the chain" vindicate the beneficent conservatism which prevails in the ordering of the universe, wherein nothing ever happens exactly as it is planned London.
