POLITICIANS UNEASY

CMrnilOIl 1VILLIA5r3 i.ight.xixg . CII.VSGC" HAS CAISISD AXXIETV. Comments of the German Pre on the Acts of the Antocratfc Yonng Monnrcli. (Copyrighted, Ltti, by the Associated Press.) BETtLIN. Nov. 10. Now that the dazzling effect made by Emperor William's "lighttilnff change" solution of the ministerial crisis Is clearing away and the people are taking a clearer view of the situation In all Its bearings, two distinct feelings are becoming manifest one of uneaslnes3 among politicians generally respecting the stability of the German home policy, which there Ss now little doubt will be considerably modified by the advent of Prince Hohenlohe, Uie new Chancellor, and the other a feeling of anxiety openly expressed by the mouthpieces of the Liberal party at the autocratic attitude which the Emperor asurned In settling the difficulty. Ills action was certainly not more arbitrary than upon the occasion of the downfall of Prince Bismarck from power, but the German people hardly expected to witness a repetition of that Incident within so comparatively short a period. The National Zeitung giye3 emphatic expression to this misgiving and. declares that the solidity of the Prussian Cabinet must be re-established if confidence 13 to be restored. The Radical organs are even more outipoken. The Boersen Courier reminds Its readers that two Chancellors, four imperial Secretaries, of State and fifteen Prussian Ministers bive been used up In a little more than six years. The Grenzboten says: "Clearly confidence In the stability of the vital principles of the government have been weakened by recent events." The newspaper quoted then calls upon the German nation to make ft firm stand in defense of its constitutional rights. The most fftriklnsr utterance, however, comes in the Zukunft, which, in an article printed to-day on the Emperor's autocratic tendency, makes a rather daring comparison between Emperor William and Charles 1 of England, who was forever demanding explicit and unreasoning confidence of his eubjects. with results to himself that will be easily recalled. In this connection the Zukunft remarks: "Matters have come to Buch a pass in the German eir.pire that the most weighty decisions depend upon accidents and on the company the Emperor chooses to keep, and on the manner his entourage represent things to him. The citizens themselves, who preserve and protect this German empire, and maintain the army and the court, are expected to rest content, hold their tongues and be always assured that the well-qualifled authorities are safeguarding their welfare. This is asking too much." Such outspoken remarks are rarely ventured In the German public press and the Zukunft is treading upon such dangerous ground that it Is likely soon to find itself In trouble with the authorities. Its utterance, neverthelers, truly voices the growing feeling of misgiving among a large and liberal minded section of the German public, however, and is more easily discerned In the states outside of Prussia. Indeed, the Emperor has been forced into a realization of the dangers of the present situation by remonstrances addressed to him from Bavaria, Baden and Wurtemburg regarding Caprivi's dismissal and the general instability of the government. This Is an Important fact because It became known to-day, coupled with the announcement that Caprivi's trip to South Germany 'was not entirely a private affair, but takes the form of a mision at the request of the Emperor with the object of calming the feeling of unrest and allaying the reawakened disposition towards independent action on the part of the South German States Instead of acting In strict conformity with the policy of the imperdial government. A demonstration of this spirit of particularism is iound in the Grand Iuke of Baden appointing" special envoys to the courts of Stuttgart and Munich. Bince General Von Caprivi's dismissal the Grand Duke of Baden has not concealed his indignation at the unceremonious and sudden ministerial disruption and he has taken this step in order to show his disapproval. Prince Ilohenlohe had an audience with the Prince Regent of Bavaria at Munich on Thursday last, but the result of ' this interview Is not known up to the : present moment. . The feeling of apprehension respecting the stability of the home policy of Germany is amply Justified by the ministerial changes which everybody now agrees to be Imminent. Prince Ilohenlohe, as stated in previous dispatches, la determined that every member of the Cabinet shall be In entire harmony with his views. Besides the important changes already known it is announced to-day that Dr. Karl von Boettlcher. Imperial Secretary of State for the Interior and vice president of the Prussian Council of Ministers, has tendered his resignation, but up to the time this dispatch was filed Dr. Von Boettlcher's resignation had not been accepted by the Emperor. The half-hearted denial of this statement only tends to confirm it and an official announcement to the effect that Dr. Von lioettlcher has resigned is expected within a few days. The Relchsanzelger to-day publishes the appointment of Herr Von Hammerstetn. director of the province of Hanover, as Frussian Minister of Agriculture, to succeed Herr Von Heyden-Cadow. As already cabled. Hammersteln is presldentt of the German Agriculture Council, which presented Prince Ilohenlohe a few days ago with a il3t of Its demands. Hammersteln is one of the largest land owners in Hanover. , Heydeji-Caoow, the retiring minister of Agriculture, has been decorated with the Order of the Red Eagle with oak leaves. Further resignations are expected before Ions?. The Independence of the new Chancellor Is a matter of common knowledge, and he has more than once shown a disposition to assert hla authority to the utmost. This determination to have h!s own way, however, is Just what is regarded as the element of insecurity in the situation. The Irince will brook no rebuff, and unless the Emperor fully acquiesces in his views as to the composition of the two Cabinets and In regard to important questions of policy, there will be another ministerial crisis right off. Fears of this latter eventuality will be ever present In the public mind, for It is regarded as doubtful whether two such strong wills can work In harmony for any length of time. The postponement of the opening of the Reichstag from Nov. 13 to Dec. 5 Is due to Prince Hohenlohe's Intention to supplant the objectionable members of the imperial and Prussian Cabinets before commencing legislative work. The late date of the opening of the Reichstag, however, will seriously interfere with the task before that body. Virtually nothing can be done before the Christmas recess, but on the reopening of the Reichstag the anti-revolutionary bill and the budget will be disposed of, after which the Reichstag will have to consider a number of Important measures, Including bills providing for bourse reform, the suppression of Infectious diseases and the restriction of immigration. In the meanwhile the big center party has already, through Its party organs, told Prince Ilohenlohe on what condition he can have Its support. In the anti-revolutionary bill the Centrists demand a new law which Is not to be used at any time against themselves or against the Catholic religion, and It Is stated upon good authority that these terms have been accepted. The agrarians, however, will cause Prince Ilohenlohe a great deal of vexation. The National Federation of Agriculturists has formed an organization to regulate trade in cereals, which is merely a cloak for agitation in favor if the incursion of foreign bread stuff. Committees have already been appoints! to cperate in the Diet and the Reichstag and the success of their efforts means the restriction of American Imports. Emperor William during the week Joined a hunting party at the shooting lodge of Grunewald on the lake und in the forest of the same name. His Majesty dined - twice with Prince Ilohenlohe and gave audiences to Count Botho Zu Kulenberg. formerly Prussian Minister of the Interior, and the Count Philip Zu Eulenberg, the German embassador to Vienna. Prince Hehenlohe. who is one of the wealthiest men in Germany, Is negotiating for the purchase of the Chateau Pantalsi. near Bayreuth. where Miss Helen Carroll, the American heiress, kept royal court during the past summer. Prince Btsmarck is suffering acutely from neuralgia. The result of tho recent elections held In the United States Is generally commented on In Germany. The Vossiche Zeitung and the National Zeitung attribute the Democratic defeat to the "vaceilatlns? and unsatisfactory policy of Congress anJ to broken party rledses." The opinion grnerally existing is that the Democratic dofeat does not mean a change in American tariffs. Dr. Dickie, of Detroit, has arrived here as pastor of the American church of this city, in place of Rev. Dr. Stuckenbcrg. Dr. Dickie preaches to-morrow at the memorial service In honor cf the late William Walter Phelps, formerly United States minister to Germany, in St. George's Church. The following Americans have arrived here: Mr. Dwlght J. Partello. United States Conul at Sonneberg, Germany; II. o. Heck. Bf Chicago; J. Fastis Tucker, of Phila

delphia; Captain Alexander Bergman, of San Francisco: EL L. Washburn and Mrs. D. E. Washburn, of Yonkers. The Hnsnlan Royal Funernl Train. KIIARHOV. Nov. 10. The funeral train bearing the remains of the Czar arrived from Sebastopol, after stopping at Simferopol, Tavlograb and Spassoff Church, near Borkl, where requiem masses were' celebrated for the reposa of the soul of Alexander III. The arrival of the train at

Torches were to be seen on all sides, tne bell of the monastery tolled and the military band played the funeral music. The requiem mass at Spassoft was celebrated In the presence of the Czar, the Imperial family and all the mourners belonging to the royal families taking part in the funeral. All the local military and civil officials were present. Rebels Successful In Ecuador. GUAVQUIL, Ecuador. Nov. 10. Teodor Semlnario, the rebel commander, captured Eton, Reque and Plmentel, getting a large amount of money as well as a lot of arms.

PORT ARTHUH TAKEN AXOTIIDR GREAT VICTORY FOR THE JAPANESE REPORTED. China Suing for PeaceThe United States UkMy to Act an Arbitrator Japan's Terms. LONDON, Nov. 10. A dispatch to the Pall Mali Gazette from Che Foo says that the Japanese have captured Port Arthur. A dispatch from Hiroshima, Japan, says: The Cabinet ministers, at their meeting yesterday, discussed important matters, Including great diplomatic questions. No official report of the occupation of KInchow has yet been received here, although it is supposed that the town Is In possession of the second Japanese army. The Chinese telegraph line from Port Arthur to TienTsln, via KInchow, has been cut by order of the Japanese commander. The British steamship Gaelic, from San Francisco for Yokohama and Hong Kong, -which was seized by the Japanese authorities on the ground that she was carrying contraband of war, has been searched at Nagasaka. PEACE MAY COMB SOO. China Wants It and Japan May Consent to End the War. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. As a result of. negotiations now pending It is confidently believed that the United States will very soon be asked to mediate between Japan and China, with a view to permanent peace on a basis satisfactory to both countries. It can be stated positively that the United States has declined to Join with European powers In any arbitrary Intervention to force a settlement. But while unwilling to act-In any arbitrary manner, -either individually or Jointly, with European nations, the representatives to the war have been given to understand that the good offices of this government will be gladiy exercised to secure peace in case such is their expressed wish. Naturally Japan Insists that China shall take the initiative in any negotiations looking to a restoration of peace, but that she is entirely willing- to accede to any reasonable proposition is not doubted. The foregoing briefly summarizes the situation as It Is viewed by officials here who have recently had most to do with the subject. At the outset Great Britain sought to have the United States and the great powers of E'ope Inervene. The facts as to these negotiations at Washington have not until now been made known. Cable directions from the London Foreign Office first came to Mr. Goschen, the British charge d'affaires. In the absence of feir Julian Pauncefote. Mr. Goschen was at the time at his summer home at New London, Conn. The subject was too important to be committed to the mail, so Mr. Goschen took the first train to Washington, lie arrived Sept. 25 and remained two days. He saw Secretary Gresham in person and presented Great Britain's proposition that the United States co-operate with other powers toward peace. A reply was duly given that this country would not co-operate on the ground, it is said, that the policy of the United States was to avoid entangling foreign alliances on questions in which it had no immediate concern. Since that time no efforts on the part of Great Britain to urge negotiations have been made so far as is known. Under these circumstances the present negotiations do not involve foreign intervention, but a mutual arrangement between China and Japan, to which foreign powers will give their moral support. It makes little difference, therefore, what the United States or other powers may do, so long as China and Japan como 'together, although both powers seem to be anxious to have the co-operation of this country and others in their negotiations. To what extent the Chinese minister here has directed the negotiations is not exactly known, as the legation officials are very secretive. It is known, however, that the Chinese minister had a long conference with Secretary Gresham yesterday morning. This was one of the several conferences held within the last ten days. It is said, however, that the main proposition on the part of China came direct from United States Minister Denby at Peking. From the very beginning of hostilities the Chinese have been anxious to have the United States arbitrate the differences between themselves and the Japanese which led to the war, but, of course, there could be no arbitration except upon the request of both parties, and this was lacking. But after the battles of Klu Tien-Chanp, on Oct. 25 last, when the Chinese suffered their severe defeat at the hands of tho Japanese troop3 who had crossed the Yalu river, and were obliged to retreat towards Mukden, they were thoroughly alarmed and convinced that something must be done to terminate tne war. rney cou;u not, now ever, so humble their pride as to sue for peace directly to Japan, but, casting about for some means of opening peace negotiations, hit upon the treaty with the United States of 184$. The very first article of th!.i treaty pledges the United States in case China is oppressively or unjustly treated by another power, to use Its good offices to arrange the difficulty. It is similar in scope to the first article in our treaty with Core which led Secretary Gresham at the beginning of the trouble to write the note to United States Minister Dunn at Tokio relative to the Japanese occupation of Cores, which has excited so much comment. Encouraged by the attitude of the United States at that time, the Chinese government, as indicated by the cabled dispatches from China, appealed to United States Minister Denby at Peking to caue his government to intervene, and Mr. Denby transmitted the application to Washington, where It was laid before the President, who has had it under consideration for a week or more. As cjr representations in the case of the occupation had little effect, there was no reason to suppose that a different result would follow an attempt to U5 our koo1 offices In favor of China. The United States Is at present placed in a position which she would naturally be looked to by both China and Japan to ssrve as an arbitrator In case of a difficulty In arranging terms of peace, and it Is therefore very improbable that we will forfeit this position by yielding now to China's request to interfere. Arbitrate we may, but intervene we cannot. Is the manner in which the situation is summarized in of.lclal circles here. This may be done through Minister Denby, but It 13 felt here that the better way for China would be to submit her proposals directly to Japan, when It would be entirely within the bounds of propriety for the United States to express the gratification It would feel as a

nation friendly to both combatants to see peace restored on honorable terms. An official of the State Department conversant with the Chinese attitude says: "China no longer conceals her inability to prosecute a war." Another department official presented the Japanese view of the present negotiations as follows: "Japan recognizes China's craft and she is not likely to bj misled by any empty efforts of peace on terms which seem to mean much and in truth mean nothing. The sovereignty of Corea is one of those empty propositions, as China has been driven out of Corea and has nothing to concede as to that country. Neither does Japan want any Chinese territory. What she will undoubtedly expect is a cash indemnity sufficient to recoup her for ail her war expenditure. The Chinese minister has conferred with Secretary Gresham as to what can be done for the relief of Mr. Moore, formerly interpreter of the legation and now a prisoner of war in Japan. The conference with Secretary Gresham has not resulted in any definite step, as advices from the United States consul at Yokohama are awaited. The Yorktown Off for China. VALLEJO. Cal., Nov. lO.-The United States gunboat Yorktown left the navy yard at 10 o'clock this morning for China, stopping at Honolulu for coal. She is expected to be four weeks in making the trip to Yokohama. SUGAR IS BOOMING.

The Trust Preparing to Still Farther Advance Prices. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. lO.-The sugar trade Is booming. The demand continues quite active and prices rule very strong with a tendency to still higher figures. Stocks are being rapidly reduced and the refineries are making large purchases of raw sugar preparatory to resuming operations. The Franklin refinery, which also Includes the F. C. Knight plant, started up this morning, and will give employment to nearly two thousand men in both refineries, while the Spreckles refinery will resume next week. W. J. McKahan, superintendent of the W. J. McKahan Sugar Refining Corafany, the only independent refining concern n the countrj't says: "The sugar market is improving rapidly. We have sold more sugar since the election than during the month preceding it. The sales of raw sugar during thf past few days have also been very heavy. We are now running on about half time, but hope to be running with the full force of hands .within a few days." IVevr York Reflneriea nt Work. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Nov. 10,-There Is a good prospect of the army of men who find employment in the sugar refineries here resuming work on full time. Superintendent James F. Bendernagle, of the Havemeyer refineries, said: "We are running at full blast, as the orders for refined sugar are coming In with a rush to such an extent that wj are not quite able to fill them. We look forward to continued and Increased business." Secretary Frederick Mollanhauer, of the Mollenhauer refinery, said: "Business, Is much better and we will soon be running the full force again: Refined sugars are now selling below the cost of protection, and that fact, I believe, has a great deal to do with the present demands." In the section of the city whero these refineries are located one-third of all the refined sugar consumed in this country is made. RUNNING RACES. Iley El Santa Anita Defeated by Dnke Steven. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10,-Rey El Santa Anita met a crushing defeat to-day.

Rey Alfonso showed, his quality for breaking mile records for two-year-olds. He carried 118 pounds and finished several lengths ahead of his field In the easiest kind of style. Two favorites won during the day. In the steeplechase Neyo fell and threw his rider. Neither was hurt. Japonica, the favorite, had a safe lead, when she broke down.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 10. Oakley closed Its thirty days' meeting to-day. The owners of the track are more than satisfied (wrth the excellent showing they have made.

Judge Clarke went to New York to-night. Jockey Cassln, who was suspended early in the meeting, was reinstated to-day. The weather was cold, the attendance very large and the track heavy. The first four favorites won. Then Themona, 8 to 1, and Mrs. Morgan, a strong second choice and 3 to 1, got the money. The last two favorites, Selena De and Miss L., failed to even show. Walker was the star Jockey to-day, riding two winners. Horse Killed and Jockeys Injured, WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.

BIG ELECTION BILLSJ

TOW.NSIIIP EXPEXSES 10O IER CE.T. 3IOIXU THAN THE CITY'S. Inspectors Attempt Another llnld on he Treasury Despite a Democratic Court Decision. The difference between Democratic and Republican economy Is plainly shown in the expenses of the last election and the city election last falL The only figures at hand now are those from Center township and they are not complete, but enough bills have already been filed for Trustee Gold to make an estimate of the total amount. The following Is the bill for the expenses of the One-hundred-and-nlnety-first precinct and will serve as a sample to show where the taxpayer's money goes: Inspector, nine and one-half days at $2 a day, $19; two Judges, three days each at $2 a day, $12; two clerks, three days each at $2 a day, $12; two deputy sheriffs, three days each at $1.50 a day, $0; twenty-eight meals at 50c 511; fuel, $2; rent, $6; putting up booths, $2; total, $76. The expenses last fall at the city election, as' paid by Controller Troisier, was uniformly $27.50 to each precinct, which amount Includes everything in the trustee's bill except putting up the booths. That work was done by two transfer companies and was paid for seperately. The bill given above was not selected because it is the largest one presented to the trustee. It happened to be on the top of the pile and was copied for that reason. The lowest one noticed In the lot of them was for $55. The man who presented it should have been a Republican; the bill is too small to have been presented by a full dyed-in-the-wool Democrat. Most of the bills were for amounts between $ti3 and $75. Trustee Gold says that they will average about $70. At that rate the total cost to the twonshipfor the election, exclusive of printing and bills paid to others than inspectors and election officers, will be $13,'y. Printing and other items will swell the cost to about $16,000. . The city election expenses for the same Items, included in the above estimate were $8,0S3.48. Leaving out the printing in both case3. the expenses were $5,948.29 and; $13,370. There is a difference In the number of precinct, however, which must be considered to make a fair comparison. In the city election there were only 158 predncts. Making the compaxison on that basis, the figures would stand thus: City election expenses, $5,948.93; township election, $11,CG0; a difference in favor of the city of $3,111.01, or nearly 100 per cent. At the time of the city election bills were presented, claiming three days for Inspectors and two days for judges and clerks. When Mr. Trusler took charge of the office he refused to pay for more than two days services for inspectors and one day each for the others. A great howl was raised about it, and a meeting of Inspectors was held, at which it was decided to sue for the three days' pay. Inspector Stanm was selected to bring the suit It was filed in a short time, and later was decided against the inspectors. The court decided that they were entitled to a day's pay for the day of the election and a day's pay for the day ths canvassing board met, and not on a basis of one day a pay for each eight hours or fractional part of eight hourn which they were employed. In the face of this decision, the township trustee has allowed one bill for nine and a half day's time lor an inspector. This includes a day for the time spent in going after the ballots and a day for each eight hours spent in the election and in the work of the two canvassing boards. The clerks and sheriffs are allowed three days if they worked as much as seventeen hours, as a day's pay Is allowed for each eight hours or fractional part of it. CITY NEWS K0TES.

Johnson was awarded Judgment for $4,000 against the Cincinnati Enquirer in the United States District Court yesterday. The plaintiff sued for $20,CKW, alleging defamation of character by a sensational publication. The case went to the Jury at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the argument taking up the forenoon. The attorneys for the newspaper did not attempt to Justify the publication but put up the defense that there was no malice in the article. The jury was out until 5 o'clock yesterday evening. The defendant's attorneys, after the reading of the verdict, declared their intention of entering a motion for a new trial. In summing up the case to the Jury Judge Baker delivered his instructions substantially as follows: "Any written or printed article which In any way tends to bring ridicule, contempt or censure, or the natural tendency of which Is to bring disgrace or loss of social standing or to injuriously affect the reputation, is libelous and actionable unless true or privileged. Malice Is an important feature In all actions for libel or slander. Malice, in its common or popular acceptance, means ill will toward some person, but in its legal sense it is defined to be a wrongful act done Intentionally without legal Justification or excuse. In such an action as the present one malice In law is sufficient and it is to be inferred from the publication of the libelous matter, if you believe it to be libelous, unless the publication Is privileged. If the publication in question is libelous, if its natural tendency is to bring upon the plaintiff disgrace or loss of social standing, or to injuriously affect her reputation, she need not bring witnesses to prove what were the motives or designs of the defendant In causing the publication to be made proof of such publication is sufficient to raise the legal inference of malice unless the defendant has, by the weight or preponderence of the.evldence, shown that the publication is true or privileged. A privilege in the law of h;ef implies some liberty of discussion and publication, and protection therein, though the dlscus&ion proves to be mistaken and the publication materially false. When privilege exists Individuals whose character or conduct is falsely impunged must suffer without remedy unless they can prove actual malice.. But in this case tho actual malice need not be proved, but malice, in the legal sense, is to be inferred from the falsity of the change made against the plaintiff. If the plaintiff has proved the material allegations of her complaint by the weight or preponderance of evidence, it will be your duty to rind a verdict in her favor and assess such damage as you may think proper. In determining the amount of damages you may take into consideration her famllv relations and her social standing, the injudy, if any, to her feelings, her wounded sensibilities and her sense of shame and dishonor. "In determining what amount would be Just and proper you may take Into consideration any circumstances in . the evidence which tends to show that the defendant was not actuated by actual malice or that it acted in good faith in the honest belief tltat it was publishing the truth in maiung the publication as matters in mitigation of the damages. You should, however, remember that the reputation of a woman for chastity and especially the reputation of a mother, is a thing of inestimable value and any injury done to such reputation by the publication of false and lebelous charges ought to be compensated for 'by the assessment of damages, which should be a full and adequate satisfaction for all the wrong and injury inflicted upon her. You are the exclusive judges of the facts and of the weight of tne evidence, but are bound to accept tne law as given 10 you - oy -ine court." , Grand Jury Indictments . The following Indictments have been returned by the grand Jury: - Jesse Brown, grand larceny; Harrison Blake, petit , larceny; John Miller and John Golman, grand larceny: Thomas Campbell, grand larceny; Frank Stlnson, grand larceny; Harry Rafferty, petit larceny; Edward Dearinger, pc-Lit larceny.
