with a seal from the writing1 fable of his rrandf&ther. Emperor William I. During: the luncheon the cuirassiers mounted guard outside the castle and the artillery remained, as a guard of honor, n the parade Kround. From that spot, when the signal was given that the Emperor had proposed the health of Prince Bismarck, the artillery fired a salute. Uli Majesty, in proposing Prince Bismarck's health at the luncheon, sail: "Your eightieth birthday occurred during the twenty-fifth year of the existence' of the empire. The congratulations of the army are rendered sacred by the memory of mighty struggles. I am to offer you In front of my troops my fervent wishes, not given to the great statesman, but to the officer. Three mottoes appear to me specially significant to-day. The first Is contained in ColosElans, Chapter iii. Verse 23, ('And whatsoever ye do, do It heartily as to the Lord, and not unto man.) It betokens immovable trust in God, whereby -was. accomplished your mighty task and which, moreover, the army has never denied. The second was - an- 'expression of the brave Count Mansfield, : when, with the sword in his mailed hand, he boMly .confronted his foes In overwhelming- numbers. You have often proved the truth or this motto, especially at the time the weighty resolutions of my grandfather were maturing when you proudly, pointing to hi officers, reminded him of his 'Porte Epee' (swordfcearer.) The third motto 'Spectemur Agen-. do" (Let us be judged by our actions), my English dragon regiment (the First lioyal dragoons)-- wrote with prou.1 consciousness on their standard, when after riding down the enemy, they captured their colors. This motto serves to answer anything your enemies and revilers may say or do. We, who to-day Joyfully and admiringly fete you as a comrade and colleague, with heartfelt thanks to God who permitted you to complete each splendid work under the glorious ol Emperor, one and all Join in the cry which all Germans from the snowclad Alps to the dykes of the Belt, where the breakers thunder and roar, will shout with glowing hearts, 'Prince Bismarck. Duke of Lauenberg, Lebe, Hochl Lebe, Hoch! Hurrah!" THE PRINCE'S REPLY. After the toast offered, by Emperor WillJam had been drunk, Prince Bismarck said:. "Will your Majesty permit me to express ray thanks briefly. You have called on me in my capacity of a Prussian oflicer. In reply to your toasV I can only confirm the words 1 ueed ten. years ago on the occasion of the reception of the generals In ' Berlin that the best point In my life la that I also have been a Prussian oflicer. Had I not been so, I should not liave fallen in the right paths, but an oflicer of the Ninth regiment of the Landwehr was my guide, who in 1848 placed me In the right way, namely, the path to adherence to the reigning house, while having regard for other countries which uo not possess the advantage of a- reigning (house. In short, 1 emerged from the year 3848 with feeling of more intense adherence to the royal house than perhaps in my previous rustic ignorance I could have expected. 1 continued in this path, enraptured and devotedly as long as my activity was required. I was, throughout, convinced that without adherence to the dynasty there was no salvation for Germany. We need only look to France. Since the dynasty there was removed, where is It possible to find -a rallying- point. That is always a disputed question. Let us held last to what we have. We nave n t Germany In a single empire, but we have our' princes and rulers, concerni.n whom the Roman historians extol their adherence to the Germans an adherence which we scarcely equal in the spirit of German loyalty to the royal house. 1 beg you to charge your glasses and drink with me to the health of my gracious sovereign, long life to his- Majesty,, the Emperor King." - The Empress of Germany commissioned the Crown Prince to present to Prince Bismarck a beautiful basket of roses and a letter of congratulation. The young prince handed the gift to Prince Bismarck with the simple words, "from mamma." Emperor William has appointed Prince Bismarck's' physician. Dr. Schweninger, to Tie privy medical councillor, and has confered on Dr. Crysander, Prince Bismarck's secretary, the order of the crown. The railroad station, postoflice and all houses of Friedrichsruhe and its neighborhood were decorated with flags to-day in honor of the Emperor's visit and of its occasion. The imperial train started from here on its return to Berlin at 3:27 p. m. The Emperor was escorted to his saloon carriage fy General Count Von Waldersee. Before he departed he had an earnest conversation with Dr Schweninger from the window. At the last moment Prince Bismarck appeared on the platform In order to take final leave of the Emperor, and cheers were raised and continued long after the Prince re-entered There is no doubt that the Emperor's graceful tribute to the great German statesman, following so close after the Reichstag's refusal to congratulate Prince Bismarck on his birthday, has won hearty approval from many quarters. The Grand Duke of Baden and Chancellor Von Hohenlohe will visit Prince Bismarck to-morrow. . , GOSSIP FROM BERLlV.

How the Ovation to Bismarck Are Viewed The Centrist Blunder. LONDON, March 27. A dispatch to the Post from Berlin says that the Vossische Zeitung, while regretting the vote of the Keichstag on Herr Von Levetzow's proposal, says that the majority only meted out his own measure to Prince Bismarck. The paper recalls Prince Bismarck's wrathful rejection of the unanimous vote of condolence that the American Congress rent to the Reichstag on the death of Herr Lasker. The Vossische Zeitung thinks that the man who has thus carried his personal animosities beyond the grave would never have consented to congratulate an opponent on the eightieth anniversary of his birth. His references ' yesterday to controlling the Foreign. Minister are regarded in Berlin as being inspired by his wellknown personal animosity to Baron Marshall Von Bieberstein, and is a ludicrous contrast to his own angry intolerance of tuch interference when he was Chancellor. A dispatch to the Daily News from BerJln dwells upon the exclusive military character of the Bismarck celebration and adds that if Prince Bismarck had been Field Marshal Von Moltke, Tuesday's ceremony could not have taken any other character. Bismarck, the statesman, stood behind Bismarck the colonel-general. This is significant of tne situation, one Is almost in-, cllned to see therein a deeper meaning than first appears. The dispatch adds that the decoration of Dr. Schweninger was the greatest surprise. The Emperor well knew nhe great pleasure he was giving Bismarck by conferring this decoration. The dispatch adds that in the lobbies of the Reichstag the members exchanged their experiences at Friedrichsruhe - and commented on the probable eonsequt?nces of Saturday's vote. It cannot be said that the members of the majority who voted against the Bismarck resolution are cheerful. The members of the Center party especially are beginning to see that they blundered. They were on the point of being on the friendliest terms with the government and realizing all their desires. Now they are further than ever from their goal. The . Radical leaders admit that the situation is critical, but they intend to use the Emperor's telegram to Prince Bismarck as a means of alarming' the constituencies. Resolutions were adopted at a Democratic meeting in Stutgart similar to those adopted Monday by the Democrats in Wurtemburg approving the rejection of Herr Von Levetzow's proposition that he be directed to convey to Prince Bismarck the congratulations of the Reichstag and protesting against the sentiment expressed in Emperor William's telegram to Prince Bismarck. The Stamp Fiend Pursues an F.mncror Boston Transcript. Here is a little story that comes to the Listener from abroad which will be interesting to his young readers who are stamp collectors. Some time since Marshal Yamagata, then commanding the Japanese forces on the Yalu river, and now Minister of War, received a letter from a, little bov in Berne. Switzerland. It was addressed to "His Very Honored Excellency Marshal "Vamagata, and ran like this: "Genera i. I am a little schoolboy, aged eight years old. I live in Berne. If you look at your atlas you will see that Switzerland Is smaller than Japan. I am very happy to know that you are doing with the Chinese what our ancestors did with all their enemies, and that the brave General Is marching from victory to victory. "I hope that you will make yourself master of the immense Chinese empire and throw down its famous wall. I think that that wall is the reason why I have not in my stamp album any Chinese stamps. "Ho I think you are a very kind man, and will you have the goodness to send me some Chinese stamps, which 1 suiiose. you will find lots of in your war booty." Marshal Yamagata was greatly delighted with this original and Ingenuous epistle, and had his aid send twenty Chinese postage stamps at once to the little schoolboy at Berne. Election Rolls rurgnl.

A GREAT POLICEMAN

OFFICER TAYLOR, OF JEFFEHSOXVILLE, STABS TO DEATH A TEXAXT. Xorth Indiana 31. E. Conference In Session First Colored Man on n Jury In Madison County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. J EFFERSON VILLE, Ind., March . 26. A cutting affair which resulted in the death of lawyer John It. Tucker occurred here at 10 o'clock this morning. Tucker has for several months t ccupied a house belonging to William Taylor, a merchant policeman, who Is well-known on account of the numerous desperate affairs in which he has figured. A week ago Taylor ordered Tucker to move, but he had failed to do, so, the time which he was allowed by law in which to vacate not expiring until to-morrow. This morning Taylor proceeded " to the houae occupied by Tucker and again demanded the rent. Hot word3 followed and Taylor struck Tucker In the face with a knife several times, inflicting serious wounds, "and in turn was struck over the head with a flat iron in the hands of Tucker. Taylor then thrust the kni'fe into Tucker's side, making- a terrible wound within an inch of the heart. Both men were arrested and placed In jail, and physicians summoned to attend them. During tho examination Tucker was placed under the influence of opiates and he never recovered sufficiently to converse with his wife or other relatives. His death occurred at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon. Taylor's wounds are serious, but not fatal. His head is badly mashed. He V'M he given a preliminary hearing in the city court to-morrow morning. Both of the participants have led very eventful lives. Taylor is seventy-five years old, yet he is more strong and -vigorous than many men of forty. He had long been considered one of the most courageous men in southern Indiana, and during his long career as a policeman has had numerous desperate encounters, always coming out victorious. His victim, Tucker, came originally from Kentucky. He alwavs boasted of the fact that he served in the Second Kentucky Cavalry under General John II. Morgan. He served a term in the Kentucky penitentiary for shooting a man and also a term of three years in the Prison South for assault and battery with intent to kill. He was sent from Ripley county. A wife and one child survive him. Since his last arrival in this city he has practiced law. GUILTY OF DOI IIM; MIBDEK. Verdict of Arkansas Jury Against an Indiana Man. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ROCKPORT, Ind., March 26. At Ozark, Ark., Jesse Jones, aged twenty, son of Charles Jones, a prosperous farmer of Eureka, this county, has been convicted of the murder of Charles Hibden and Jesse Hibden, Feb. 19, 1S94. The day of execution has been fixed for Friday, May 3L An appeal has been taken to the Supreme Court. On the trial it was shown that the bodies were chopped into pieces and partly burned. About noonday of the following day the dwelling in which the murders were committed was set on fire and burned down over the bodies. For some time Jones had been keeping bachelor's hall with the Hibden cousins. Jones took possession of all the stock, money and goods of the murdered men, which fact he admitted, but stated that the propertv and money were left with him by the Hibdens to be kept by him during their absence. The proof that the Hibdens were murdered was only circumstantial. The owner of the building found in the ruins some fragments of charred and blackened bones and flesh which he carried to a physician, who pronounced them as bones of a human being. It is not believed by any one here who personally knows Jones that 'he is guilty of the crime for which he is condemned to death. He has always borne a good name at his Indiana home and comes from a good family. His line of defense was faulty. The defense tried to show that Charles Hibden had munlered Jesse Hibden, which was a mere theory based on the bare fact that Jones had known the Hibdens to "scrap" a little. The best theory of the case seems to be that the Hibdens, being enemies of Jones, tired the building and escaped believing that the owner of the building would in some way punish Jones. MIRDER IX HIS HEART. Air-Llnc Ex-Engineer Snaps a Revolver at Superintendent J. J. Lane. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PRINCETON, Ind., March 26. J. J.

It was cocked again, but Lape grabbed it just as the trigger fell. Bartholomew was overpowered by conductor Beard and the telegraph operator, but he broke loose and escaped and has not been captured.

XO RECORD OF ?4M).mM PAID TO THE 4 "WHISKY TRUST. The Railways Gave Larue Rchutes on Shipments, bat They Do Xot Appear on Greenhut's Books. CHICAG, March 26. To-day's disclosures of the extraordinary management of the Whisky Trust under the Greenhut regime were quite as startling as anything that has heretofore been developed by the examination of thi books and papers. The inspectors appointed by the reorganization committee have, it Is said, discovered nearly $-100,000 was paid, by railroads presumably for the benefit of the trust, but that not one dollar of it appears among the credit items on the trust's books. The money was paid as rebates on shipments', and the men who received it, it is alleged, were among the highest omcers of the trust. Only the outlines of the story were allowed to leak out. In its entirety it was preserved to be presented to the reorganization committee at its meeting in New Y'ork, and by the committee to be used as a basis for Its future action in court against certain officers of the trust. The experts, it is said, accidentally hit on a elew which, followed up, disclosed to them that the trust had been a favorite of certain railroads. Extending; over a considerable period they found, it is alleged, that each carload of spirits shipped was given a concession. The rebates amounted to from $7 to $11 a car. WHISKY TRVST CHAXGES. Several Distilleries to Re Dropped and Others Purchased. CHICAGO, March 26. It was authori- . tatively announced to-day that important changes In the producing facilities of the Whisky Trust would be made shortly. Five or six of the distilleries now leased by the trust and which are not in operation will be dropped. Some of the leases will be canceled by agreement of the owners and other distilleries on which the leases expire will not be re-leased. The location of the plant3 thus affected Is not made public, 4ut it is known that they are widely scat-' tered. It is also stated that the reorganization committee will soon make some important additions to the trust's property. Several of the distilleries now in-operation by the trust under lease have purchasing clauses In their leases and these will be taken advantage of a.nd the plants purchased outright. Receiver McNulta. and other officials refused to say what distilleries are to be purchased, but their Idcation will probably be made public within a short time. Nelson Morris to-day issued the following personal statement In connection with recent developments in the Whisky Trust matters: "Observing that my name is associated from dav to day with supposed evil done and performed bv the officers and managers of the Whisky Trust, I deem it proper to say that I am not an officer, director or shareholder in that concern. My relations to the company are purely of a contract nature, as honorable to the company as to myself and as much to the interest of the company as to my own. They are square, open and above board. The injurious InshiH uations and indirect charges have no. 'real; foundation, as will appear when those now engaged in promoting false conceptions shall present their theories and inventions to the courts instead of in the columns of the pewspapers. I ask my friends to withhold judgment until evidence is presented. I claim this as a right. If the truth when it appears shall in any way condemn me for any improper acts in this connection or any other, I will cheerfully yield to its supreniacy. But I protest against being robbed of my good name by injurious fabrications which have no just foundation whatever." Violating: the Dispensary Law. CINCINNATI, March 26. In proof of the assertion that has been made that the administration of the State dispensary law of South Carolina since the advent of the new Governor and commissioner has been modified, one of the leading wholesale dealers of this city states that Commissioner Mixon has just placed an order with him for a large quantity of high grade liquors to be delivered bottled and to bear the original label. Heretofore the method has been to label all liquors of one brand, that of the State of South Carolina. This is the first time that special labels have been allowed and, while it is apparently in conflict with the law of the State, it shows that the new administration is disposed, to soften the rigors of the law and at the same time increase the revenue of the State dispensary. OBITUARY. Lnvlolette, n. Fearless Warden of a Canadian Penitentiary. MONTREAL, March 26. Ex-Warden Laviolette, of St. Vincennes De Paul penitentiary, died to-day.

TORTUKE AND MURDER SHOCKING CRIME COMMITTED BY SUPERSTITIOUS IRISHMEX. Supposed Witch Forced to Swallow Obnoxious Herbs, Then Beaten and Finally Horned to Death. WrATERFORD. Ireland, March 20. A most extraordinary case of murder, arising from superstition, was inquired into today by the special court of Clonmel, twenty-five miles from here. Ten persons were arraigned before the court charged with murdering a woman named Cleary because they supposed her to be a wLeh. The prisoners included the murdered woman's husband and father. The evidence showed that Mrs. Cleary was suffering from nervousness and bronchitis, and her husband, believing her to be bewitched and in order to exorcise the evil spell, obtained a concoction from a herbalist of the neighborhood. Then, while the other prisoners held the unfortunate woman in bed, her husband forced the obnoxious concoction of herbs down her throat. After this the suffering woman was held over a fire and dreadfully burned, until she declared. In tfie name of God, that she was not Cleary's wife. This torture was repeated on the following day, but the woman refused to conform to her husband's requests, whereupon he knocked her down, stripped off her clothing, poured paraflne oyer her body, then lighted it, and the woman burned to death In tho presence of six male and two female relatives. Cleary declared that he was not burning his wife, but that he was burning a witch, and that she would disappear up the chimney. When the woman was dead her husband collected her charred remains in a sheet and buried them in a dyke beneath the mud,' where they were found a.. week later.; . .. .,.. The prisoners, who were remanded, narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of the excited crowd in and about the court room, and had to be removed to jail under the escort of a strong- force of constabulary.

The Duchess of Fife presented a gold watch to Miss Anna Boecker, the only woman survivor of the Elbe disaster.

A dispatch to the Standard from Vienna says that here was a scene of unequaled violence in the lower house of the Hungarian Diet Tuesday, the occasion being the appearance in the gallery of a -returning officer connected with an election scandal. The members of the opposition arose in a body and shouted: "Expel him!" "Remove the scoundrel!" The officer disregarded the cries, whereupon, the opposition shouted: "To. the gallows with him!" "To the pillory with him!" at the same time beating upon their desks. TH uproar was terrific. The president of the chamber tried to pacify tne excited members, but found it impossoble to restore even a semblance of order until he compelled the obnoxious official to withdraw. Boll-Fight Judac Challenged. CITY OF MEXICO, Mexico, March 26. At Sunday's bull fight Juliet De La Eli"zaldo, editor of the Corrfo Espanolo, became offended at the rulings of Jesus Contreras, a member of the City Council, who was presiding judge at the function, and challenged him to a duel. Contreras has made reply that it is impossible for him to seriously consider the challenge as the offense was taken as the result of his official and not personal actions. The Incident is one of the most interesting which has occurred since the re-establishment of bull fighting in the federal district and is the first time a spectator has allowed his enthusiasm over the famous Spanish sport to run away with his reason in the direction of the Judge, who is considered, by the rules of the game, to be above criticism in his rulings.

Mr. Crane Denouuces it and Advises ' Immediate Rebellion. New Y'ork Special. The subject of Immorality in the drama Is likely to be a topic of discussion in and out of the theatrical profession for the next few months. Already the most reputable members of the profession are aroused over the great influx of European, plays based upon the relationship between the sexes and the matter will doubtless be taken up at future meetings of tho professional leagues. Win. H. Crane is an actor who looKs with displeasure upon the growing tendency of the stage towards morbid portrayals. Mr. Crane has pro duced many original American plays, but not one of them has possessed the smallest element of indecency. Discussing the subject to-day, Mr. Crane said: "I believe that the actors as well as the spectators should revolt against the character of the plays that are now tillingthe stage. It seems to me the t'.me has come for the actors themfelves to refuse any longer to act- in such pieces. The only explanation of the fact that managers continue to produce them must be that thiseason has been a hard one and they will do anything to bring the public to their theaters. This unfortunate taste seems to exist among theater-goers and managers think it must be appealed to, although its duration Is bound to be brief. The most encouraging thing about all the Lrt that is reaching the stage is that none of it Is of native origin. Most of it is coming to us from England. Our own dramatists ars showing no disposition to Imitate what the Englishmen are writing. When what was called the adulterous drama that va translated from the French first becamepopular in New Y'ork there was a great outcry against it, but I do not remember anything In the plays of that time that compared with the mstiness in speech that we hear now on the stage. In these plays that are supposed to be popular the mei and women listen to speeches which If a, man maae tnem to a woman in her own house she would promptly call it servant and have him shown out. "In all my experience of the stage I have never known the taste .for such nastinesa to last as long as it (has this time, . and it seems to me there Is no way out of the situation except through co-operation on the part of actors and a steadfast refusal on their part to speak such lines or play in' pieces of such immoral tendencies as most of the plays popular for the past season or two. i "A nucleus of four or five well-known and influential actors could bring this about," Mr. Crane continued. , "To bo sure, very few stars are giving these plays. They ar produced usuually by companies! whoset meralK" re compelled to play the roles that them, whatever their character may Ait I am pretty certain that a deterr. oppositicn to enacting- unworthy rolfe. ..iid speaking Impure lines would be very generously supported in tho profession. It ought to come from tho actors, because they are the ones that must suffer 1T. i m.Wlls. i 1 I n nn ..t 1. . become so thoroughly what he makes himself that the players can rebel against tha degradation which the character of these modern plays brings upon them." Turning to the "bronze statue" kidecency at the Casino and the announcement that Nina Farrington will appear next week partially nude, Mr. Crane said: "A legitimate result of this condition of things in the drama can be seen at tho music halls, in one of which a manager is endeavoring to attract the public by tho announcement that he will display a woman nude. This depth of degradation has never been reached in the whole history of amusements before. The decency of the theater has never been so insulted In this country as far as I can remember. We hear first that women have posed partly nude; then she is stripped, and the announcement comes that two moro will be exhibited in the same condition. One of them selected as a model is a woman who has figured already in various scandals, at whom people look with curiosity, even when they see her on the street. Now,say these managers, we will hire this woman and strip her and ask the public in to look at her. There is nothing that could be more degrading to the theater, nothing so degrading: to the actor." MEMORIES OF MAXIMILIAX. How n Dilatory Envoy Missed a Chance to Save Ills Life. John F. Coyle, in Washington Post. The recent news from Honolulu, conveyed, to Congress by the message of the President of the United States, of the sentence of death imposed on some ot the leaders of the revolt against the Hawaiian republic and the suggestion that some efforts to protect them from the death sentence should be made, recalls the action of our government when it was learned that the Mexican government had condemned Maximilian to death. There was universal sympathy for the unfortunate Emperor, and numerous requests for the interference or protests from our government against the act were made, and these requests came from such, sources as determined the President to do all that could be done, consistent with the frlandh- rctlu Hnriil l"( f u hum Via t Ti 1 1 ri tries, to save the life of Maximilian, tind to that end the Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, was sent as a special envoy to .tha Mexican government to request that Maximilian should be delivered to our envoy, to be returned to France, it was rumored that Mr. Campbell's instructions went further than a request; that he was instructed to protect the Emperor. Mr. Campbell left on his mission of mercy, but, unfortunately, on reaching New Orleans, he was detained by the congratulations of friends until too late to reach the steamer which was to convey him to his destination, and, without the protest or request of our government, the victim of Louis Napoleon's ambition was sacrificed. The painful Intelligence of the death of Maximilian caused Intense excitement, for, the sympathy for the unfortunate Emperor, who had borne his honors so meekly, was generally felt and expressed throughout the country. Marquis De Montholon was minister from France at the time, and had been unremitting In his efforts to save Maximilian. He was advised of the departure of Mr. Campbell on his errand of mer.y, and anticipated the return with him of Maximilian. The unfortunate result of the mission caused the deepest grief at the legation, which was expecting the dethroned Emperor. The failure of Mr. Campbell caused theadministration a great deal of annoyan-e. to say the least, as they were blamed for not interfering to save Maximilian, but no explanation was made officially.
