EPISODE IN DIPLOMACY

pniAcn msMAiicK nxrosi: Tim ItLSSO-tiKUMAN TOEATY. Raptured Darin? Caprlvi's Chancellorship and Revelation ow the Talk of European Co art. HAMBURG Nov. 1. The Hamburger Nachrlchten, th orpan of Prince Elsmarck. has another artlclo on the subject of the Rueso-Cerman trvuty. which terminated In 1800, and the disclosure of which by" the Nachrichten ha created such a sensation In Europ. This article Is entitled. "The Russian Treaty," and describes Prince Bismarck's entente with Russia as a brilliant success of German statesmanship. The article then proceeds to say: "We do not admit that rapprochement with Russia had lost all value by the conclusion of the Dreibund treaty, nor will our allies sharo this opinion. Reconciliation la not unknown or desired by them. On the contrary It hat been noted with satisfaction that Germany always employed the Russian entente to prevent and settle differences between Russia and Austria, Had Austria and Italy thought otherwise, they would, during the reign of Emperor WH'.lam I, have made representations on the subject. This was never done, although they were aware of our civilization of political relations, and an entente with Russia, despite all military preparations and Course regulations, was never pretermitted at Berlin. "Among the motives of our expo-e of the Russo-Germnn relations, nil of which we do not feel called upon to disclose, is the continual falsification of historical facts by the Clerical and Libera! and even the semiofficial pr3, with the dishonest purpo.se of making the government of William I and of Bismirck rt-rponslbw? for all present evil. especially the rupturo of tho former favorable relations with Russia, a rupture which certainly does not Improve Germany's position in Kurope. Therefore, we publish the fact that the rupture was brought about during the administration of Oeneral Von Caprivl. through hla unqualified refusal of Russia's request for the continuance of tho entente. Aralnst this authentic proof that the breaking of Russia's ties occurred under Von Capri vi. the Infamous culmination of Germany's policy under William 1 cannot be proved. We should be5 deemed more correct had an official and documentary explanation of the truth been forthcoming, aa in tho cae of tho Ems dispatch, and we now recommend this course." The reference to the Kms dispatch Is doubtless to the publication of Prince Bismarck's authority upon the eve of th outbreak of the Franco-IrussIan war. of the draft of a treaty between Prussia and 1'rance, guaranteeing to the ono country Its conquests and permitting to the other annexation of Holland, a draft which Bismarck claimed to possess, written by Mr. Renedlttl. the French embassador to Germany, by his own hand. The publication of this secret document, bearing date of the end of lSCf"., raised . great parliamentary storm In Francw and necessitated ministerial explanations. It was claimed on behalf of M. Benedittl that the (lennan Chancellor had dictated to the French embassador these conditions of a future entente and had then put aside the plan to bide his time for its use. Prince Rlaiaarck's 3Iotive. VIENNA, Nov. 1. The Neue Freie Presse, which published an intervie'w last week from a correspondent at Hamburg which was supposed to havo emanated from Princo Bismarck, to-day says that it learns from a weil-informed source that Bismarck may be impelled in makings his disclosures by a fear that Germany will repeat the mistake of 1S90 by the eventual-abandonment of the support of Russia in favor of im entente .with Great Britain, which would bo more dangeroua, aa tt would doubtless lead France to obtaining what she has hitherto been unablo to obtain, namely, an alliance with Russia, of which rfie enforcement against Germany would be a Question of time and circumstances. Another motive of Prince Bismarck, the Neue Freie Presse thinks, was to phow France how little their relations with Russia were due to themselves and how much they were due to Germany's mi?takes in the treatment of Russia after the dismissal of Prince Bismarck from the Chancellorship. That the latter is actuated by hatred of Von Caprivl. this Journal thinks, is an untenable supposition, as Prince Bismarck has not regarded Von Caprivl as the moral author of the rupture between Prince Risuiarck and the present Emperor. niftiunrek Ajralnnt the Ilrelbund. LONDON, Nov. "Tho Berlin correpondent of the Daily News reports that he has learnd that the Germnn treaty v.ith Russia was in no wise as harmless as 1 alleged, but was disloyal to Austria. Irince Bismarck was eager to come to terms with Russia." -says this correspondent, "at Skbrniewice where the Czar and Kmpercr William I met), and later. In Interviews with M. l)e GUrs. he gave too warm an expression cf his desire. The Russian diplomat noticed this ami raised Ids price, the result being the agreement which, it seems, contained clauses which ven now are unknown, but which proved b--id faith to Austria. Jn government circles it is suspected that Blsnmrck's ultimate nojoct is to dissolve tho Drell.und Us the price of a Ruso-erman alliance." Hell Appeal to Ilnynrd. LONDON. Nov. 1. Edward J. Ivory, alias TMward Bell, whoire case is pending at Bow-street Polico Court on remand on a charge of being concerned in a dynamite conspiracy, has communicated with Mr J.ayaril. United States embassador with a vie w to obtaining recognition of his rights a. an American. It is understood that Aim-Hears friends of Ivory will forward Junds for his defense, and at their instance in addit.on to prominent counsel, he wiM have the services of another solictor.

It will be noted that while these figures vary very materially in a number of counties from those in the estimate by counties furnished by a member of the State executive committee, p'inted above, the net result differs only a hundrea ufs; yet they are entirely independent estimates. DEBS EAT CIC13IUEHS. The Reaaon He Stopped Sludovr Ina; General HarrlMon. The evanescent Eugene Debs has been giving the Popocratlc State committee a heap of anxiety during the past two days. Debs had been engaged to "shadow" General Harrison on his northern Journey and was to have returned hero so that both he and Greene Smith could harangue the crowds Saturday night. Debs was not advertised along tho Harrison route. They knew that the coming of Harrison would draw the multitudes, and the Idea was to havo Debs talk to the crowds either before or after tho visit of Harrison. This scheme was worked at Muncie, Portland and Fort Wayne on Friday. Debs arrived at iluncie In the morning and harangued the crowd from the courthouse steps. He reached Portland Fhortly after Harrison had left ani reached Fort Wayne before Harrison had ai rived there, talking at the rink in the evening. For Saturday ho was booked to appear in the same surreptitious fashion at Goshen. Wabash and Marlon and get to Ir.dlsnr rolls In the evening. Rut Saturday's work was never done. After the excitement of the first day Debs was dead to the world and he has not come to lite -t. Tho supposition at Popocratlc Stato headquarters is that he must have indulged in l is well-known fondness for cucumbers and got laid out somewhere by the wayside. They even Intimate that some wicked Republican at Fort Wayne fed him a cucumber or two. The Popocrat local committees waited In vain for his coming at Goshen, Wabash and Marlon, and when ho failed to turn up at Indianapolis at night both his meeting and Greene Smith's were called off. Fooilshls the Popocrats advertised him for last night again, hoping in the meantime to find him. Rig telegraph bids were contracted in the effort to locate him, but he was not within reach and they had to let a couple of the. young men sent out by the Pimetallic League to organize dogfights on the street corners talk to the crowd at Tcmllnson Hall. , "Will Investigate the Roads. Washington Special. From Bryan headquarters a programme is being prepared for an official senatorial inquiry next wintar into the charges of discrimination In passenger rates ugainst Democrats in all parts of the United States. The charge is being formulated that railroads have systematically refused to make reductions to Democrats, and that they havo transported the Republicans In great numbers and lodles hi all parts of the country at rates that are ridiculously low. Tha roads leading to Canton are to be mado tho subjects of especial attack, nnd criticism will be pointed. y directed n gainst the roads entering St. Louis lor refusing to grant excuislon rates to Democrats on the occasion of tho recent meeting in that city of Democratic clubs. The raliroj'J officials say they will be nb'e to show a clear bill of health and thnt they are in no danger of being Injured by any investigation which may be ordered. Senator Fauikn?i, chairman of the national Democrat!; congressional committee, and Senator Butler, chairman of the'natlonal Pcpocritic cemmitte'. arc expected to have perpenal charKe of the propo-d inquiry.

Johnson remained unconscious and died at 'J:'M o'clock this morning. Such terrible consequene' were not feared or even dreamed of. and Wells was permitted to take the train a few minutes after the affair and go to his home, ten miles west. This morrdng. when the authorities realized the seriousness of the case, Sheriff Speer went down to take Wells into custody, but he hs d fled. He has not yet been apprehended.

From theso estimates I have come to the conclusion that McKlnley will probably carry Connecticut, but his plurality will not b-? more than S.fcjo. Tf these estimates are correct, and if every Bryan man does his duty, there is a reasonable, a fightlnj chance, for Bryan in this State." Hcpubllenus Claim Nothing. DENVER, Col., Nov. 1. The campaign in this State has been almost devoid of interest so far a3 the national tickets are concerned, as a fusion was early effected between the Democrat, Populists, Silver Republicans and the Silver party on presidential electors pledged to Bryan and Scwall and on Congressmen Shafroth and Rell for re-election. This combination. It is conceded, will carry the State by a very large majority. The vote this year is estimated at about IGO.tOO. The supporters of Rryan and Scwall claim for them a majority of 120,000. The McKinley Republicans .promise to show tv.ice the strength .credited to them by their opponents. State politics are very much mixed. The sliver Republicans and Democrats are fused, as are the Populists and Silver party on State tickets. Roth combinations are claiming victory. All parties except the McKlnley have declared for the re-election of Senator Teller. ExGovernor Waite, middle-of-the-road Populist candidate for Governor, has made an active canvass, but is not expected to poll more than IO.O'jO votes. Republicans Have !Vorth Dakota. FARGO, N. D., Nov. 1. It Is predicted that next Tuesday will be the liveliest day that North Dakota people have ever kn wn. The vote this year. It Is said, will be larger by at least C.OuO than ever before and It Js thought the 45.000 mark will be reached in the State. Both the fusion and Republican tickets in the State are confident and base their claims on what seems to be authoritative statements from different parts of the State. A greater number of naturalization papers have been issued in this State this year than ever before. Chairman Cooper, of the Republican State central committee, believes that the State Is safe for McKinley by about 5.000 majority. It is thought by Republicans that McKinley will run ahead of the State ticket. At the Democratic quarters Chairman Kleinogcl, of the State committee, claims the State will go 3.00) for Bryan, and that Burke, congressional candidate, will be elected bv 4.0 X) majority. The fuionIsts arc also Jubilant and feel that the State Is already won by them. At Lent 10,000 In Xew Hninpahlre. CONCORD. N. H.. Nov. l.-Democratlc managers concede New Hampshire to the Republicans by 10.000. but they hope to gain In the Legislature. James C. Lyford, secretary of the Republican State committee, at the request of Chairman Spauiding. has given he following predictions: "New Hampshire will give the largest Republican majority in the history of the party. McKlnley will have 2U0U plurality or more. Republican candidates for Governor and Congress will have unprecedented majorities. The Lesiidature will be Republican In both brar.tncs, thus Insuring the return of a Republican United States Senvtor." llolvlnley's Majority In MnnachtiHettM. BOSTON, Mass.. Nov. 1. The Boston Journal has just completed the most thorough canvass ever made of the State. It shows the following probable total vote of Massachusetts: McKinley, L'Sl.SD; Bryan, 123.4'-?: McKinley's plurality, 153.411. State Ticket Wolcott (Rep.). 201.S31; Williams (Dem.), 112.20i; Wolcott's plurality. lu2.C2i Of the three hundred odd towns and cities of the State about 2o0 sent returns to tho Journal.

Is predicting a plurality cf 14000 for McKlnley In Massachusetts and I9).0o0 for Wolcott. He says McKinley will get 307 electoral votes." Mr. John C. Lane, secretary of the State National Democratic committee, predicts a vote of 25,000 for Palmer and Prince, the gold-standard candidates for President and Governor. Some T)i"nnte In Louisiana. NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 1. The Australian ballot system will be given Its first trial In Louisiana. The State will give Bryan a majority of between 15.0u0 and 20.0u0. The Democrats expect to carry all six congressional districts, but with an honest count the Republicans claim to have excel'ent chances In the First. Second. Third and Sixth districts. In the latter district both Repubdcan and Democratic nominees are for free silver. It Is claimed that tho Australian ballot system will result In disfranchising a large percentage of voters in each poitlcal party, as illiterate citizens will not be able to prepare their ballots according to law. The Repub'ieans claim that this city will go for McKlnley. On the other hand, the Democrats are confident that when the return are made up on the night of Nov. 3 t he v will have their usual majority of 10.C00 or more in the city and OoO In the State.

Stalling. Will lie Defeated. BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Nov. l.-Both Republican and Democratic headquarters havo been open to-day, and there Is hardly less activity than yesterday. The gold-standard Democracy has not made an aggressive campaign, except In two districts. At Democratic headquarters to-night General Shelley, State chairman, claims the State for Bryan and Sewall electors by 30. WW plurality. This claim is based on the theory of a large vote nnd large gains from Populists and silver Republicans. At Republican headquarters It is stated that on account of lack of funds for campaign purposes there is no prospect of tho Republican !c.torxI ticket being elected. Chairman Vaughan. of the State Republican committee, c aJms white votes for McKinley and Ilobart which havo never been Republican heretofore. In the Second distri:t the gold-standard Democrats and Republicans are suppcrting Tom Clark, Speaker of the Democratic House, and his election Is clalmfd over Stal'lngs, the present member of Congress, a sliver Democrat. Doth Claim South Dakotn. SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Nov. 1. South Dakota Is claimed by both sides with equal confidence. Populist Chairman L. M. Estabrook. Democratic State Chairman J. A. Bowler and Chairman U. S. G. Cheery, for the free-silver Republicans, all of this city, unite in claiming the State for Bryan by G. UiO to S.OuO. Che'trv claims he has two polls of the sliver Republicans, the last showing 6,i00 Bryan votes sure. Estabrook says he has two complete polls to base his estimate upon, but no poll as to the Legislature. He expects to carry the Legislature In all but six counties. Bowler claims his poll on the Democratic vote, shows less than S per cent, for McKinley. National Committeeman Kittredge says McKlnley will carry the State bv 8,000 to 12.0"J0. He says it is a dead certainty. He says the Republicans will have not less than ninety out of 125 in the Legislature. o Fight in Muniaua. HELENA, Mont.. Nov. 1. The campaign just closed has been remarkable for the absence of anything like vigor. The Republican candidate for Governor met with an accident early Jn his speaking tour, which compelled his withdrawal from active work. The Democratic-Populist candidate for Governor went to California to make speeches, and Congressman Hartman went East to make silver speeches. He made a few speeches here, and Col. Sanders, Senator Carter and others made a few speeches for McKlnley. The Democrats and PopulUts had several speakers out. but large meetings were not numerous cn cither fide. The f unionists claim Rryan will get about two-thirda of the votes cast In the State and the fusion State ticket about the s. me' ,Tne McKlnley Republican oiuci.-tls claim McKinley will get 20.n00 out of 43 oo votes and that Botkin (Republican), for Governor, will get more. Republican Chance In. Utah. SALT LAKE. Utah. Nov. 1. The campaign closed without any sensational features, and everything is ready for the contest at the ballot box on Tuesday. It Is estimated that the vole of the State will bo over 60.000, as the women will vote for the first time. The chaitmn of the Democratic committee claims Uryan's majority w . be oyer uw; that King, for Congress, V2 clevcte(1 D ever 3,0o.j majority, and that the Democrats will have twentv-seven majority on joint ballot in tho Legislature, lhe chairmm of the. Republican committee does not name figures on the presidential V?tebut ,ays the Kepubllcans will elect the Congressman and carry a majorltv of the legislature. The chairman of the People s party says the strength of the party cannot be estimated under the fusion arrangements. The party expects to noli a Strong vote for Foster for Congress. Oregon Lean to McKinley. PORTLAND. Ore.. Nov. l.-The campaign In Oregon has been the most exciting In the history of the State. The Republican Stato committee, after a careful canvass in every county, places the minimum majority for McKinley at 4,300. The latest ei-timntos given out by the Populist State committee puts the majority for Bryan electors at 2,200. At the State election held in lat June the Democrats and Populists both had tickets in the field, and their combined vote on Supreme Judgo exceeded the Republican vote by 4.C00. Tho National Democrats c!aim they will cast at least 4.00") votes in the State. At the presidential election four years ngo the Democrats and Populists fused on one elector, but his total vote was 4.000 short of the combined vote of the Democrats and Populists on the other three electors, who were voted for separately. Looks Like Bryan. JACKSONVILLE, Fla,, Nov. 1. The Republicans and gold-standard Democrats have finished their campaign in this State. The regular Democrats will have their final rally on Monday night. Claims are made by the chairmen of committees on each side that they will have majorities, but ther is little genuineness except that the gold Dmocrats wl'l endeavor to make as pood a showing as possible. Chairman Rawls. of the Democratic Stato executive committee, claims the election of the Bryan and Sewall electors by 10.000 majority. S. M. Sparkman. in the First district, and R. W. Davis. In the Second district. Democratic nominees for Congress, will be elected fry good majorities. Fusion Likely to "Win. BOISE. Idaho. Nov. 1. The Teople'sDemocratlc party, being a fusion of Populists and Democrats, and the silver Republican, or Dubois party, will probably get IS.000 votes. Tho 'McKinley vote Is not expected to be ' over S.300. The People'sDemocratic party claim they will have H. Ooo votes for their State ticket, and will elect it. The Republicans do not concede them over lO.COu votes on any office but the Governor, and c'alm that the Republicans will elect all State officers except the Governor.

Horace Porter, In the Century. A description of General Grant's personal appearance at this imrortant period of his career may not be out of place here, particularly as up to that time the public had received such erroneous Impressions of him. There were then few correct portraits of him in circulation. Some of tho earliest pictures purporting to be photographs of him had been manufactured when he was at the distant front, never stepping in one place long enough to be "focused." Nothing daunted, the practices of that art which is the chief solace of the vain had photographed a burly beef contractor, and spread the pictures broadcast as representing tho determined, but lather robust, features of the coming hero, and it was some time before the real photographs which followed were believed to bo p.enulne. False impressions of him were derived, too, from the fact that he had come forth from a country leather store, and waa famous chiefly for striking sledgehammer blows in the fiM and conducting relentless pursuits of his foes through the swamps of the Southwest. He was pictured in the popular mind as striding about in the mot approved swash-buckler style of melodrama. Many of us were not a little surprised to find In him a man of slim figure, slightly stooped, five feet eight inches in height, weighing only 135 iounds, and of a modesty of mien and gentleness of manner which seemed to fit him more for the court than for tha camp. His eyes were dark gray, and were the most expressive cf his features. Like nearly all men who speak little, he was a good listener; but his face gave little Indication of his thoughts, and it wa3 the expression of his eye3 which furnished about the only response to the speaker who conversed with him. When he was about to say anything amusing there was always a perceptible twinkle in his eyes before he began to speak, and he often laughed heartily at a witty remark or a humorous incident. His mouth, like Washington's, was of the letter-box shape, tho contact of the lips forming a nearly horizontal line. This feature was of a pattern in striking contrast with that of Napoleon, who had a bow mouth, which looked as if it had been modeled after a front view of his cocked hat. The firmness with which the General's square-shaped jaws were set when his features were in repose was highly expressive of his force of character and th strength of his will pewer. His hair and beard were of a chestnut-brown color. The beard was worn full, no part of tho face being shaved, but, like the hair, was always kept closely and neatly trimmed. Like Cromwell, Lincoln and several other great men !n history, he had a wart on his chek. In his case It was small, and located on the right side just above the lino of the beard. His face was not perfectly symmetrical, the left eye being a very little lower than the right. His brow was high, broad and rather square, and was creased with several horizontal wrinkles, which helped to emphasize the serious and somewhat careworn look which was never absent from his countenance. This expression, however, was in no wise an Indication of his nature, wnich was always buoyant, cheerful and hopeful. His voice was exceedingly musical, and one of the clearest In sound and most distinct In utterance that 1 have ever heard. It had a singular power of penetration, and sentences spoken by him in an ordinary tone in camp could be heard at a distance which was surprising. His gait in walking might have been called decidedly unmilitary. He never carried his bov erect, and, having no ear for music or rnythm. he never kept step to the airs played by the bands, no matter how vigorously the bass drums emphasised the accent. When walking In company there was no attempt to keep step with others. In conversing he usuallj- employed only two gesture; one was the stroking of his chin beard with hi left hand: th"Oth r was the raising and lowering of his right hand, and resting It at Intervals upon his knee or a table, the hand being held with the lingers cicse together and the knuckles bent, so that the back of the hand and fingers formed a right angle. When not pressed by any matter of Importance he was often slow in his movements, but when roused to activity he was qulk in every motion, and worked with marvelous rapidity. He was civil to all who came In contact with him. and never attempted to snub any one or treat anybody with hs consideration on account of hn Inferiority In rank. With him there was none of the puppyism so often bred by ower. and nu ie of the doarmatlsm which Samuel Johnson characterized as puppyism grow" to maturity-

BRIBERY AT FRANKLIN

EFFORT TO IltV GOLD DEMOCRATS IX LARGE NUMBERS. Offered Them $20 Each to Stny Away from the City on Election DaySheriff Wcddle's Hunt. Sheriff Albert Weddle and a deputy named CUuk reached the city last nir'it looking for a man named Samuel Parsley, who Is a fugitive from Franklin. He is a Democrat and is wunted there on the charge of attempting to tribe Democrats to lav Franklin befcre Tuesday and remain away until after tho election is over. Parsley is twenty-six yeais old and is m.irrkd. He has been In trouble before, having served a term of ore year in the penitentiary tvo years ago for forgery. Sheriff V.cddle told a pari of the story to a Journal reporter lat night -at the polico station, but as scon as he learned to whom he was talking be refuted to say more. Later he went to the station hous and went to the Sentinel o;nYo. He would not talk of the matter to a reporter cf the Journal at all. The exact purKse of the attempted bribery Is not known. UN mjppo'sed that the men who were approached are gold Democrats and that it was desired that they stay away from the poll-, but thn reticence of Mr. Wcddle made It impossible to verify this. Saturday evening he was arrested on the charge of bribery. jnd whi'.e trying to gtt bond made his escape, and it is thought he came to this city. Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Weddlo learned that Parsley was probably in this city with Lulu May HolHngs worth, who is a woman well known t the police. He hurried to catch a train for here, and while running to the depot aw Parsley's brother driving into Fraiiklln. The horse was jaded and looked as if it had been driven a long distance, und the sheriff Instantly surmised the brother had driven Parsley to this city. The sheriff and his deputy camefon here, arriving late in the evening, and began to look through the different resorts for Parsley without going to the police station to ask assistance. They did not find their man. and finally gave up tho search and went to the policestation. Sheriff Weddle said that Parsley, who is a strong Democrat, had been hired by some other men, who arc unknown, but supposed to bo wealthy farmers near Franklin, to bribe gold Democrats to stay away from Franklin during election day. He made his first attempt at bribery, so Weddle claims, about the first of last week by offering five men $20 each to come to Indianapolis and remain here until Wednesday. They were all Democrats, and. after a little hesitation, accepted. Weddle claims that ten men aro implicated In the bribery, and It Is thought that five more are interested, but there is not enough evidence to prove the suspicion. Three of the five Democrats who accepted the bribe are Clyde Simpson, Lew Baker and "Rip" Harrison, who have reputations as local politicians. Their consciences played navoc with their tongues, and they finally mado a clean breast of the matter. Simpson made, an affidavit as to the truthfulness of his statement, but, fearing to get into trouble, he refused to sign it. Magistrate Coleman then made out a warrant for the arrest of Parsley and he was arrested Saturday evening. lie said that he could give bond, and a. man named Barrett waa deputized to go with him In search of a bondsman. They got into a buggy and drove to several places, but failed. Finally Parsley paid that a man named Mcllvalne would go .bis bond. Accordingly they drove to the home of Mcllvalne, and Barret permitted Parsley to get out to rattle a window to awaken Mcllvalne. Parsley, however, went around the side of the house and that is the last seen of him. Sheriff Weddle Is very anxious to find Parsley and says that It Is not the Intention to prosecute him, but to endeavor to persuade him to turn State's evidence and tell who tho men are who have hired him to carry on the bribery.

After three years' hard work and the expenditure of between J13.00VXK) and $16,000.K)0 New Orieans has finally completed the great undertaking of changing its streetraliroad motive power from the old-fash-lone 1 mule to electricity. The iast line to m ike this change, the Canal and Claiborne, has Inaugurated another important change at the same time by practically applying the civli-servlce rules of the United States to its employes. The old system of lines and suspensions for accidents and so forth is abo'lshed, and in Its stead employes are promoted according to the records they make, all vacancies being filled by promotion from the lower ranks. The plan is warmly welcomed by the men themselves, and the public is interested, as It will tend to prevent the accidents that have so often occurred of late due to the frequent changes of mntorrr.en and the breaking In of raw men.
