In 1-U. The victim was the father { of Log-
golfs wife , who lived with his
daughter. He was Icnown ns Dutch

sisted of n gold watch , $03 in money and n
spaa of mules. The body was discovered

rrcsidcut Adiinm Sintcs His Views
Itof'oro the llouso Coinnitttcc.
WASHINGTON" , March 17. President Adama
of the Union Pacillu appeared before the
house cotnmttteo on 1'aclilo railroads thi
morning nnd submitted to the committee
printed reports of the arguments previously
made by him. flc than discussed the Fr.vo
bill , which ho said placed the Union I'acllc
road nnd Central Pacific road on very differ
ent relations to the government. As n mat
ter of principle , the Union Pacillc could
niako no objection to that course
being pursued. The Central Pacific never
had nnd never would have the local trade
which the Union Pacillu possessed. The ques
tion was whether the burden should be pro
portionate to the strength of the two com
panies. He did not object to the general
provisions of the Fryo bill , nor insist that
the Union Pscilic should bo placed on equal
terms with the Central Pacillc ; neither
would he nay that the terms Imposed on the
Central Puclllo were too lenient. On the
contrary he wm obllircd to say that the pro
visions of the bill imposed as heavy a loss as
tlio Central Pacillu could bear. Ho
did not think the Union Pdcitic
would bo willing to take the property of the
Central Pucillo with a heavier load than the
Fryo bill imposed upon it. The Fryo bill
was n good ana fair bill in nianv respects ,
but thcro were a few material points m
which he would like to sea it modified.
Mr. Adams thought the burden xvhlcb the
Fryo bill Imposed on the Union Pacific was
too heavy. The railroads are operated netTer
Tor fun or patriotism , but to mnKo money.
Thcru was u legitimate and nn illegitimate
way of dolilg this. It was not to the inter
est of tlie government or the people that the
Union Piicillo should ccuso from being n
puyiug stock and become -Wall street stock.
It was not to the Interest of.tho government
or the Union Pacific that the company
should bo launched on n voyage of fifty
years , weighted down so those who navi
gated it must spend naif their tiino clinging
to the rinsing. Ilo felt comuellcd to.say
that , in his judgment , the scnato bill in its
present form was not for thu advantage of
the covernmont. the Union Pacific or the
people. The farmers had fallen Into the
error of imposing upon a willing debtor
terms mqro ouorotis than the debtor could
bear.
bear.Adams
Adams , iaid ) the Fryo bill was in the inter
est of the states through which the Union
Pacitlu uassod , although tho.pocplo of these
states djdnjt see It. Th'oy had nil idea that
anything which helped thu railroad Injured
them. This , was nn erroneous Idea. Tins
comminy , in'lts desire to cct libarty , was
forced to the very limit of ' 'safety and at
times ho had besltated whether It was
worth the company's while to nccopt the
provisions of ttio bill.

An Animated Dlscusiion Between
finilmin nnd Chicago.
WASHINGTON , March 17. There was an
other lively mooting of the world's faircom-
mitteo today. Messrs. Franlc of Missouri
mid Howon of Virginia were absent from the
city and Mr. Wilson was engaged In the bal
lot box investigation. As a consequence.
Chicago temporarily lost two members
favorable to her and the committee was tied
up so as to be unable to achieve any positive
progress. When -flection 8. which loaves
blank the data for holding the fair , was
readied Chairman Chandler proposed to till
in the blanks so as to provide for the dedica
tion nnd a celebration on October 12 , 1SU3 ,
and for holding the fair in 1S93. When the
question was put on Cnaudler's motion the
members of ttio cominittco ro fused to vote
mid it was lost. Thereupon the dates were
lllled in so us to require thi > fair to bo opened
April 10 , ISU , nnd closed in October of the
same year. The entire bill was then rend
over nnd'ugreod upon with the exception of
section 5 , which will bo acted upon nt an
other meeting to bo held tomorrow.
Ucldon called up his motion relative to the
$10,000,000 fund , and thcro was an animated
discussion. The Chicago mm insisted upon
the sufficiency of their subscription , but
Uolden wished to see the subscription Hsts.
The chairman produced a list of names to
which the New Yorkers objected ou the
ground .that the names wuro unattached
to the heading and therefore it was worth
less financially. The Chicago men explained
that this list wan a copy of thu original list
which was properly headed nnd had boon
seen by the chairman nnd the sub-commit ,
tee. This failed to satisfy the Now York
representative. Springer remarked In a
facetious manner that ho nnd Hilt would
assume the $10,000,000 obligation und re
minded Flower ami Lioldon that they had
tried to bluff the house by the same remark
when the bill WHS under discussion ,

to Tun UEK.J That there Is n serious breach
between Hlsnmrclt nhd "Emperor" William
has by this time becouio quite 'i'e'rtatn , am !
the causes are being Hqarchad Xq'r most sort
ously and thu results watched by all stu
dents of current politic * With' the ( ? rcntesl
attention. In. conversation with n , gentle
man whoso nnmo is Known quite , widclj
throughout the United States , haying once
been n member of the United States' logo
tion nt Horlin , nnd who recently returned
front Germany , TUB Hen correspondent last
evening learned n story as to thu ro.il cause
of the rupture which is now current In Eu
rope , nnd Is of especial interest to thu people
plo of the United States because the trouble
Is credited to an American woman.
Several years airo ono of the most promi
nent of New York wholesale giocers was
.latnes Lee , who retired after amassing n
considerable fortune and spent the latter
years of his life In Europe. IIis.dttUKhter , a
beautiful ana fascinating young woman ,
mot an Austrian nobleman and
nftor a brief courtship they were
married. She was ot n most ambitious nature -
turo and hoped to roach n high place
through the use of her own money , her hus
band's title nnd position. She becaitio popu
lar ut court and was succeeding In her plans
when her hushand'dicd. -
She met while at the Austrian court a
distinguished loaning and noble German ,
Count Waldcrsoo , who made her his wife
nnd took her to bis homo m" Berlin. Wul-
dersec's plans suited her , und although ho is
much older than she they have worked
harmoniously together. Under the old em
peror \ValJcraoo was advanced from post , to
post , und filling each with honor , ho was
marKed by n great number of people as
among the most ilkjly of all .tho' emperor's
favorites. Ho cultivated the attentions of
the then coming Kmperor Frederick and
like u true courtier did .not'ovorlook the boy
on whom soina day might rest tlio crown.
It was long ago known , to Hcrlinitcs that
Waldcrseu's ambition 'stopped at nothing
short of succeeding to' the high oflico on
which Bismarck was supposed'to ' flavb'd cer
tain lifo tenure. '
The Countess Walderseo , she who was the
Now York grocer's daughtiJr.'Was none less
diplomatic in her efforts. She formed a
strong friendship for the young prince , now
the omneror , and took good care to proparu
the way against the day when the
power should rest in this youngman's hands.
That day has unexpectedly come nnd the
fruits ol her friendship are bcconiluc mani
fest. It is evident that Bismarck is looking to
the day when howillbcnoJongurablo to han
dle the grouf and manifold affairs of state on
which ho has had so firm a grasp"smco the
formation of the empire. It has , lout ; been
plain that ho should bo succeeded In tlio
weightiest of these duties by hts.son Her
bert , who , now that ho has given up-most of
his youthful follies , is dovelopiug'into fi man
of strength and power , manifesting many of
those remarkable traits which has niiido his
father so great , /i'liis purpose of the elder
Hismarck runs counter lo Count "Waldcrsi'o'B
ambition and is especially distasteful to the
countess.
Several years ago , when the whole Euro
pean continent was ringing with the wild es-
capudos of Herbert Hismark , he nlado un
enemy for lifo of the Countess Wuulcrsea oy
n sustained uttncl : UDon-oud'-bf tho'Cputitess , '
most Intimate trlerida , n young inarried-.wo-
man \vhom Count Hcrtiertidcclured
ho .would have. . ' for---his''t' . " mistress
despite nil her protestations * and
the existing ; marriage , nt which , of course ,
the young- count laughed.t In her * ex
tremity the young woman made a cotfiidanto
of the Countess Waldcrsou , Who succeeded
in forcing young Bismarck . .tcude.aist only
after informing his father. Count-Herbert's
brutality In this matter , , -and bit * utter dis
regard for the feelings * of everyone , made
such an impression on the countess that she
has since retused to have anything1 more to
do with him than wasmadefubsolut ry neces
sary by the ofllcial position which" ho held.
Tlio wily American woman has boon able
to instill something of this fooling' of dis
like into tlio mind of the emperor , though of
course the conduct of the young count in
this particular matter is , notthu basis for
thnt feeling.
When , therefore , it bacamo evident that
the elder ISisumrclc wished his son to take u
higher place in the empire than he had 'done ,
it satlstlcd the ruvcngo and the ambition us
well of the Couutuss . .Wnldersoo
to thwart the elder Uhmarck
by preventing young Bismarck from coming
to the front. She paid off the old score and
promoted tlio interest ot her husband , , * The
young emperor , oy refusing llismarck's re
quests in this matter , took the first step In
the separation , which wus made wider by
his labor programme , against which Uis-
marck protested in vain , und Wiildersoo is
credited with being the real author of this
programme.
"Whether this story Is true as to the real
reason for the Countess Waldorsae's at
tempts to overthrow thu Itlsmarks , I cannot
say , " naid the gentleman interviewed , v"but
this thing is cortaiu that thu woman now
most influential with the Gorman emperor
is the former grocer's daughter , und thin in
fluence was long ago recognized by the people
ple within court circles ut .Berlin. Her urn-
oitlon will not bo uratiticd till she has her
husband in the highest place in the empire
nnd she herself the most potent woman nt
the court , And it Is not unlikely that before
long she will have succeeded. "

The Itccont CJntjioho Manifesto * Ils-
ciissert In pinny I'ulpltH.
MILWAUKEE , Wis , . March 17. | Special
Telegram to THE Ben.1 A number of local
Protestant ministers yesterday replied from
their pulpits to the recent manifesto of the
Catholic prelates ngUlnst the Bennett law.
The sermon of U6v. Dr. George Ido of the
Grand avcnuo CougVogntional church , at the
meeting of the Congregational union at Ply
mouth church , sp k.Q in .favor ot the princi
pies of the Bea'nVtt law and-jStrongly de
nounced the action of tun Catholic bishops ,
denied that.thcicVrtiUrch. bad any right to interfere -
torfero with the stuto iu o educational
matters "Und' ' maintained that the fact
that there wuro in "Wisconsin
50,000 io CD',000 children-'who ' have never nt-
: endcd school was ample reason why the
Bennett law should stand. The Hov. Dean
Babbitt's sermon ni St. John's Episcopal
church was a severe arraignment of the
Catholic prelates' manifesto against the
Bennett law and a warm endorsement of
that act , A bitter war between Catholicism
and protcstanism is almost sure to result
from this agitation. A very different senti
ment prevailed at the Trinity Lutheran
church , where it was declared that the state
iad no right to interfere with parochial
schools and that tlio'Ubnnett law should bo
repealed. In nil the Catholic churches the
recent Manifesto of the bishops was read by
the priests , in most instances Without com
ment.

NEW YOUK , March 17. A mooting wns
liold in this city tonight of 'the chief-execu
tive committee of the Master Laundry men's
association.of ttys states of New York and
Now Jorso.y. Gales II. Barnard , the pro-
[ iriotor of the Troy City laundry , nresided.
The session was short. It was stated by the
chairman that all the chincso laundries in
uoth states are owned by six Chinese
corporations. Some time ago the Chinese
syndicate formed a plan to buy out the larg
est of the white laundries , thinking that if
they ciiulu control these the business would
soon bo 'Wholly in their bunds. For this
lurpose they subscribed 51,500OJO us a pre
liminary fund. The while laundr.vmon got
wind of the scheme , and for the pur
pose of counteracting it and at the
sanio ' time retaliating , the executive
committee met tonight. A series of resolu
tions were adopted , the substance of which
was that oncrgetiu efforts should bo made at
once to institute against the Chinese
laundries of this stuto and the stuto of Now
lorsoy a vigorous war and that 5 00,000
should bo raised within twenty days for the
purpose named , by throe superintendents
and the president of the executive com
mittee.
The plan of the campaign Is as follows :
Wherever a Chtuoso launury is located a
white laundry shall bo established as near
it as possible. Whim persons arc seen p. t-
onlzmc the Chinese- laundry they are to be
followed to their homes , if necessary , and
ndurcd to deal with the white luundry
men In preference. If necessary the prices
of the white lauiidrlon shall bo cut down
so much that competition even from Chinese
will bo impossible. All kinds of influence ,
lot excepting political , will bo used to in
duce people to trade with the American
aundrios. Tlio legislature will bo np-
icalcd , to to stop the Chinese traffic.
Svory effort , regardless of cost
or method , will bo used to accomplish the
desired results , and if necessary another
500,000 will bo raised.
Tonight ? 'JSO.X)0 ( ) was subscribed by check
ind it is expected that within ninety days
nest of the Chinese laundries will bo nbol-
shcd.

Story nT nn Kyo WUnc H to the 11 or-
rlulp AfT.ilr.
J , II. Itoynolda of the firm of Duliinc &
Co. , Cincinnati , was at Hromlleld lust Satur
day afternoon and was n wittiest to the
lynchtmrof Amos E. Staten for the cold
blooded murder of W.V. . Lawn , nn account
of which was published in Sunday's Bur. .
Mr. Hoynolda was iu the city yesterday
evening nnd related to n Br.R man the fol
lowing version nf the affair :
"Jt was not ton minutes , " began Reynolds ,
"after the killing before the street wan lilted
with frightened and excited peopk1 , men ,
women nnd chlldreu. There waa
threats on till stiles , but no
symptoms of any organized movement
In the general throuir. Suddenly u middle
need man dallied up'thn street , shouting nt
the top of his lungs. "Them ho goes I Catch
him ! Catch him I1' ' ana thu bulk of the
crowd dashed nw.iy In his wulio. , A moment
after this fourteen.or fifteen came out of u
frame building.n ( slnglo rllo. They had hast
ily nindo white masks ott , with thulr coats
turned wrong side out and otherwise noorly
disguised. They started for the little cala
boose , followed by n largo number of ticoplo ,
and on reaching this prison it blacksmith
hummer nnd tin ax wns produced nnd the
lock broken off and the door burst In. They
nil poured Into the building but thrco or
four , who flood on tlio outsldo and kept the
crowd back. These who wont
in quickly emerged nnd in their
midst , with fnco blanched HUe cloth , and
eyes starting from their sockets was Stateu ,
with n stout rope already around his neck
and to which u half dozen stalwart men
clung. The wretch wns pushed uud dragged
along for a rod or two north , where nn opsn
livery stable stood. Into this thu merciless
and resolute gang crowded , and ulmo.it In
less time than It required to toll it n man
throw the ropu over a cross-piece between
two stalls nitd Statcn wan pulled up aud
strangled to death. It was n horrible piece-
of work , but n Just retribution. Stutun was
given no time to make n statement or to in alto
his peace , but was hustled into eternity with
a dispatch thnt was frightful. Tho' mob ,
saUsllod that their work had boon complete ,
left the stable and returned to the fr-ime
building from which they had originally
started.
"It was probably an hour , or nearly that
length nf time , from the moment of the
lynching before tiny ono ventured near the
hanging man. The incoming train brought
the sheriff of the county , the coroner und
other onicials. They inquired for Staton.
Finally n man with a scared face and strident
voice informed the sheriff that ho would Hud
him in Mr. 's burn. The sheriff , who
seemed excessively nervous. sturteJ hur
riedly for the stable , followed by the other
officers und a largo crowd of awe-otrickon
people. They all halted when they saw the
ghastly spectacle that presented itself , but
ono of the oflicers ran forward and cut the
body dowo , It tumbling over in the cobd and
straw us ho did so.
' A doctor was culled and made nu exam
ination. Ho found the "body still warm , but
lifo was gone out. Restoratives wcro up-
plled , but it was no use ; Amos Stuteti
was beyond all human nid. Guards were
sworn in and stationed nbout the stable ,
while the coroner apt about ornpnneliiiK a
jury. This accoiuplmlicd und the remains ot
the murdered man , Lewis , were rcniovou tea
a Dr. Brown's olllce. An 6xauunation ro-
vcaled that two bullets had entered his body ,
ono in the right breaat , which penetrated the
heart in Ila slanting course , and ilia other in
the back. The inquest was then held , some
half dozen witnesses being examined.
"So fnrns _ nn endeavor to find out who the
lynchers were I saw none , nor hoard of none.
The inquest on Staten , I believe , was held
today. I heard It said before I lull that the
knot in the rope u-bich huug Stntun was a
regular hangman's knot and artistically tied.
The lynchers did not tie his hands or logs ,
and he made no effort to savn himself by
crosplni ; the rope after ho wus strung up. Ho
made uo pica for mercy or no outcryHo
scorned to have boon stupeliod by fright or a
dogged determination to die game. It was
certainly thu quickest riddance of a mur
derer on record. "

JACKSON" , Misn , , March 17. The supreme
court , in the case of John L. Sullivan , lor
prize lighting , reverses the Judgment nnd
holds Sullivan Under hia bonds to answer
such indictments aa may bo found at the
next term of court. The case of Bud Uc-
noud was similarly disposed of.
The reasons given by the court were that
the indictment did not show that the light
was public , or that Kilrain fought Sullivan.
The court holds that tlio indictment upun
which Sullivan watt convicted wus totally
defective. The statute nithur defines ths
olTuiibo of priza lighting nor declares
what Khali bo a. violation of lit
provisions. The indictment docs not
charge that Sullivan uud lCilrain , foucht
together and against each other , but avers
thnt Sullivan in pursuance of u previous tip-
pointmonl made tn engaga in a in'i/.y light
with Kilruin for n large sum of money , Hid
unlawfully engage in n pri/o Hunt with Kll-
rain. Thoden.urror to pleas m abatement
should have been extended to the indict
ment and the Indictment quashed :
