( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram } Paris 's still frenzied with excitement o\er the Dreyfus mystery , which has now been significantly dubbed the "Panama MlUUlre. ' " The sus picion of Count Etfterhazy first excited by the wild Improbability of his story and ex planations since has been deepened by his many contradictory statements. Nor IMS hU attempt to raise prejudice by representing the attack on him as a Semitic plot advanced fall cauie with the bulk of Parisians. Not * . tittle of evidence has been produced In support of that charge , besides which Ester- hazy was far better known In Jewish so ciety than Dreyfus. He has committed him self to a. series of conflicting accounts of meetings and communications with the mys terious veiled lady. To one journalist he declared the letter he sent , him was made up of words cut ont of newspapers. To an other Journalist he said her eecond communi cation wss. In the same handwriting as thr first- Then again he first asseverated that he only once called at the German em bassy to eee Lieutenant Schwarzkoppen to * ' obtain a passport to Alsace for his relative day he admitted he frequently tive , but the next < il quently went to the embassy to eee Schwarz- koppers , w-ho was a personal friend Schwarz- ' ppen was recalled to Berlin at the first tl "tint of the present scandal. i There Is no evidence against Esterhary * < beyond his own assertions and protesta tions , but these have created an impression k most unfavorable to him. Finally , his accu sation agalcst Scheucr Kesler , vice president of the Senate , a man of unimpeachable probity and honor , that he had been actuated by a. bribe from the Dre > fus syndicate has utterly disgusted those -who were at the outset disposed to sympathize with Es- terhazy as the victim of a conspiracy. It Is highly significant that since his Interview with General Pellleux Eater- hazy has teen kept under surveillance and three agents of the French political police have arrived In London to investigate his statements as to movements when here and the motives of his repeated secret vkrfus to the English capital. ESTERHAZV FRIGHTENED. The view held by Esterbazy's friends , who were acquainted with hie mode of life , his r impecunloslty. extravagance and general financial desperation. Is that , although prob ably innocent of traitorlsm. he is frlghtenei Jest the investigations now proceeding -all cnearth some other scandal which will as effectually , though less odiously , ruin him Yesterday he got a flt of reticence and would sec no one , having apparently realized the evil effects of his gasconading talk. Jo contrast to bis feverish condition Is the calm , 'unruffled , confident demeanor of Kest ner , wha has resisted all attempts to hustle htm Into indiscreet talk or action , treating -with contempt the gross slanders of Ester hazy. Ho knows that only the supreme ef forts of overwhelming testimony can force the French Cabinet to gn.nt a proper Judlcla Inquiry , end Is reserving all his energies and ammunition for that purpose. Mgr. Keane , who has arrived at Rome has been received In special audience by the pope.

When he w-a apprised tha the clergy of the archdiocese had submitted his name to the holy see for on archblshoprl ho Instantly telegraphed ho could not enter tain the propcsltion and requested the with drawal of the nomination.

Tammany Is filling a big place In the uni verse at present and among Its other le- xponslbllltics It Is to be held accountable for leading Lord Salisbury into one nf the most grievous Indiscretions of his ministerial ca reer. He has startled every one. Including his own followers , by deliver-in ? a biting criticism on the work of the London coun'y council and a general denunciation of the evils of overcentrallzatlon in big municipal ities. To Illustrate the drend possibilities of this centralization , he polntel to Tammany's victory and to Its probable use of the spoils of office. At the same time he outlined his policy for the next session of denuding the county council of a large part of Its powers and conferring them on small local boaios. This scheme his been cr'tioiied and repudi ated by every ministerial organ In London aud Salisbury's followers In the county coun cil are frantic with him is they say It will cause a liberal landslide at t'le our.o 1 elec tions next March. There Is no doubt that the Tammany triumph led Salisbury to make this mistake. A private letter from a high medlral au thority In India gives an amazing explana tion of the perpetuation of the bubonic plague In that country. He says It has been contracted by the monkeys which Infest the sacred edifices In the principal cities of the Bengal presidency. These animals are held sacred by the natives and It Is Impossible fo * the sanitary authorities to take any meas ures to deal with the plague among them. The only effectual plan would be to extermi nate them , which could be easily done , as they are almost tame , but such proceeding would probably provoke a massacre of Eu ropeans in retaliation. At Agra recently a conference of the principal native priests was summoned to consider with the medlcsl au thorities what should be done to stamp oat the plague among the monkeys , but the priests , getting wind of the object of the meeting , declined to attend it. The mere suggestion of the British laying their preface - face hands on the sacred monkejs , even in a way of kindness , aroused all the fanaticism in the oriental character and has further In tensified the disaffection which is now uni versal throughout the Indian empire. INDIAN WAR. The Indian frontier -war is tanslng the deepest apprehension among India's rulers no substantial progress being made toward the subjugation of the Hill men , and the British losses in blood and treasure are serious. The war is costing J125.000 per day , which , according to the policy proclaimed by the present government , must be de frayed out of the Indian budget , which even In the best years shows a deficit But far graver than any question * of cost In the view of the Indian authorities is the loss of prestige incurred by the British troops In be ing repeatedly checked by the Afrldis and only saved from actual defeat by the heroism of native members of the Sikhs and Ghurkhas. "Once let the native troops feel they are the equals If not the superiors of the British , " says an Indian semi-official newspaper , "and England can .only hold India at a cost which would make the game not worth the candle. " Lord Roberts is foolishly attacked for raising the efficacy of the native army to Its present high standard. Meantime as a con sequence of the graUty of the Indian situa tion England runs the risk of being out paced by France in the rush for the valley of the upper Nile. The Soudan advance has been stopped for the simple reason that England cannot spare men or money to ef fectuate her African schemes until the In dian frontier war Is ended. FIRE COMMENT. Commenting on the great fire all the papers agree that the London flre brigade is not nearly strong enojgh la cases of such a flre as tbit of yesterday. The St. James Gazette eas : 'Ull London is stripped K > f engines so effectually that if another outbreak of fire occurred at any considerable distance there would be no means of dealing with It. It Is customary on ttoese occasions to compare our last blaze with the leading case of 1C5S , What would be more to the purpose would bo to point out that we are not very much better able to deal with a disaster of this kind than we were 230 jears ago. " Though the flames are now practically ex- tinguished , all trade In the neighborhood was at a standstill today and from the roofs of the big warehouses the view is * one of ruin and desolation as far as the eye cm reach. Owing to the enormous extent of the fire Commander Wel la has not yet been able to issue the usual official report of the dam- ge. Two or three thousand girls hue been thrown out of employment and some hun dreds of men. One most remarkable fact Is that there has been no IOES of life , Ull AM ) OLD 3IA.V IS WU.UvK.VI .

TRANS-MISSISSIPPI AND JTSfjERNATIONAL EXPOSITION , Omaha , 1898 NEBRASKA. BUILDING. The Nebraska building possesses architecturally a distinctive character.

CONSIDERING TARIFF LAWS Work Assiened to Special Se B.on ! of Germany's Economic Council. KAISER FROWNS ON AGRARIAN INTERESTS lie 1 * TnUen Ui with the Cnnnl Pro ject * Which the Afrrlculturnl ElcmentM Oppose. Fenrlns Cheaper CerenI * . ( Copyright. 1 ST. by the Af oclate < l Prwi. ) BERLIN , Nov. 20. The economic council , which began its sessions this week , and whose most Important meetings will be attended by the emperor , is a body specially called together by the government to devise the best measures needed in regard to Inter national tariff relations , with special refer ence to the United States and Great Brli- taln and Its colonies. The council is com posed of a score of technical and practical experts In manufacture , agriculture , trade and banking , as well as a number of the- higher government officials. Among Its mero- bers are Count von Kanitz. the agrarian leader ; Baron von Manteuffel , the conserv ative leader ; Count von Posadowsky , the minister for the interior and Baron von Thielmann , the secretary of the imperial treasury. Herr Wermuth , late imperial commissioner to the Chicago World's fair , has charge of the statistical documents sub mitted. Special coumlttees have been appointed on agriculture , transportation , banking , textile , chemical , iron and steel industries. They have held daily sessions since the counci : was convened. The main purpose of the council U to ascertain which Industries and to what ex tent need fostering by the state. On Monday evening , when Count voa Posadowsky entertained the council at din ner , the emperor entered Into lively conver sation with those present ; but his majesty snubbed Count von Kanitz most unmerci fully. The fact is interpreted as meaning that the agrarian interests will not be para mount in the deliberations of the council Another fact pointing the same way Is that hU majesty in conversation that even ing , enthusiastically praised the Intercen- tral canal project. Intending the joining o : all the principal German rivers , the Elbe , the Rhine , the Weser and the Oder. The project Is not a new one. It haa been slum bering for years , until , during the recent stay of the emperor at Romlnten , where he bad several long conferences with a wealthy land owner of that vicinity , Seydelchelchen , who is looked upon as the comlug minister of agriculture and who conv-rted the em peror to his views on the subject. AGRARIANS OPPOSE CANALS. The agrarian party , however. Is violently o'pposed to canal systems , because Its mem bers fear a further cheapening cf cereals by reason of their easier transportation. The emperor tpoke In such glowing terms ot the cinal project that Jt is expected a bill embodying h'e ideas will be presented to the HelchsMp , or else be made an iisue of the comlcg elections. Emperor William intends to open the Reichstag In perron , which he lias not done since 1SS4. It Is supposed b'6 naval projects ire so near and dear to his he-jn that he will , on that account , overcome the repugnance he feels for the present Relcbgtag In an effort to bring atout the pjiEige of the measure providing for increasing the strength of the German navy As yet , however , there seems to belittle likelihood of these nival plans proving acceptable to the Reichstag. The correspondent of the A&toclated press hear * on good authority that If the temper of the Reichstag early during the coming cession becomes clear as being adverse to the naval projects , the emperor will dissolve that body forthwith. The new elections could then be held early In the spring. Tuesday being the centesary of the ac cession of the throne of Frederick Willitm III , Queen LouUe and the emperor went to the nttutoleum at Chtrlottenburg and prayed at the tomb * of the members of the Imperial family whose remains are resting there. Pour of the socialist Reichstag delegates Herren Llebknecht , Hard , Luttgen and Buel who have been convicted of iese msjeste , will be forced to spend a period of the com ing Relcbitsg session In Jill.

The United States officials have assured the gov ernment that Brodowekl will be instantly recalled in case he interferes ia German politics. After a trial of eleven days at Cleaves.

EnKlIih I'nncliTM Up In Arm * . \KalnM the Mazxlc Lnn ( Copyright. ISST , b > the As oclateJ Press ) LONDON , Nov. 20. The dog muzzle is ad mittedly playing a very important part In the politics of Great Britain , the discontent of dcg owners at the rigorous muzzling or ders which now have been two years in force ha-.ing raised the muzzle to the dignity of a grave political question. There Is abundant evidence that It Influenced the recent bye-elections and that it is generally disturbing the peace of the ministers. The marquis of Salisbury , during the course of his speech at the Albert hall on Thursday last , admitted this , in his usual cynical style , and on Thursday night the minister of agriculture , Mr. Walter Long , speaking at a large political meeting , devoted his en tire speech to a defense of his position. He quoted statistics showing the rapid decrease of rabies since the Introduction of the or der. In 1S95 be said there were COS cases cf rabies In England , adding that In 1S97 there were osly HI cases , while of these only fifty-one have occurred elnce June. The Times devotes a leading article to the question , which concludes : "We can hard ly believe that , even _ among the im becilities of a contested election , the muz zling order could be- paraded against her majesty's government aft r the presentation of Mr. Long's figures.

' ( Cop > right. ! ; , by the Associated Pros. ) LONDON , Nov. 20. The stock pot of In ternational politics has been enriched during the last few days by two or three bonca which promise to furnish an. opportunity for plenty of contention hereafter. Russia con tributed the first in its notification of Novem ber 13 to the porte that the arrears of the Rupso-Turklsh war Indemnity , amounting to 1,300.000 , must be paid , and that If Tur key intends to apply part of the Greek war indemnity to an increase of the Turkish armaments Russia will demand the payment of this amount. This was followed by a second end note on the same subject today. Austria furnished the eecond bone In 1U demand for the payment of the arrears due the Oriental Railway company for trans porting Turkish troops during the war , the rallrcad being an Austrian ccncern , and the arrears amounting to 230.000. at the same time Iteming on the dismissal of the vail of Adana , Asia. Minor , asd of the muttrearif of Mersina , the two 'officials who were responsible for the indignities to which. an Austria merchant , Drazzafolll , was re cently subjected to. and also their share la the Insults complained of by the Austrian consul at Mersina , who Interfered In behalf of Brazzafolll , the agent there of the Aus- tr'an Lloyd Steamship compioy , to all of which demands Turkey submitted. ABANDONS NAVAL IMPROVEMENT. Incidentally the Turkish government ! a said to have abandoned its naval reorganiza tion plans as a result of the second note of Ru < sia on the subject of the war Indem nity arrears of that country. Germany Cavored the siock pat without sauce. In China , in landing Us sailors ut Kfcio Chau , ostensibly for the purpose of In sisting upon redress for the murder of two German missionaries , but possibly , it Is In timated , In order to obtain a good , coaling station..and a harbsr in which to repair its flee : in the far east. Turkey's bid case of swelled head Is re sponsible for two of these contentious , con tributions to the simmering ol the political pot. Its easy victories over Greece bavo EO rehabilitated the sultan's pride that ho had almcst arrived at the belief that by fol lowing the advise , of Captain Mahan , tha author of "Sea Power in History , " and making his navy strong. Turkey might be come the seventh great power and Ilbcrato Itself from the obnoxicus titilage of Chris tendom. BITTER PILL FOP. GERMANY. Germany proffered its assistance to build ships for Turkey and also offered to supply that country with the necessary ammunition and arms In return for about 25 per ctnt of the Greek war Indemnity. Thn Russia saw- its chance to check the progress of Ger man influence at Constantinople. For the last twenty years It has held Its unpaid L 0. U. as a club to force Turksy to do Ita bidding , and now again , but in a more sum mary fashion than usual it has repeated the operation and has killed two birds with ona stone namely , sharply checking Berlin statesmanship and preventing Turkey from emancipating its el ? from dependence on Rus sia. Naturally , this has been a bitter pill for Germany to swallow , losing , as It doea , considerable prestige and big contracts at the same moment. Count Goluchowski. the Austro-Hungarlan minister for foreign affairs , \\as glad of the chance to co-operate with Russia In clip ping the sultan's wings , and he has not only helped to place Turkey in the mine position It held previous to the war , but the Austrian minister has thrown some light upon what may be expected from the Balkan compact between Russia and Austria as hlntC'l at by Emperor Francis Joseph In his speech upon the occasion of receiving the Austro- Hungarlan delegations on Wednesday Itst. Great Britain's part In these proeeedlagi remains to be developed. ANNEXING CHINESE TERRITORY. Germany's swoop down upon Klao Chau bay has cfclted the chancelleries , and the advices from Shanghai that two steamers have been chartered there to convey stores and materials in Klao Cbau bay , coupled with the Intimation that the German occu pation o' that place Is apparently to be more than temporary , color to v.hlch is given by the fact that the German marines are now engaged in building winter barracks , leave little doubt that Germany has practically , annexed Klao Chau iay , which next to Port Arthur is the mo'st Important harbor In China. As a fait accompli Is an almost unanswer able argument in the cast it Is difficult to see what France , Russia , Great Britain and , Japan can do in the matter , unless they eel to work and grab other portions of tha Chinese empire. Under the circumstances the diplomats are asking what the United States , whose Interests In the east are ad vancing by leaps and bounds , says of tha seizure of Kiao Cbau hay. In any case , tha further proceedings promise to fee interestIng - Ing , for , according to the accepted version of the Casslnl treaty , concluded In 1835 , Rutila secured the reversion of Klau Chaa bay for a naval station. Looking below tha surface the coup m y therefore be Ger many's retort to the Franco-Russian ) al liance. BRITISH PRESS COMMENT. The newspapers of Great Brluia console themselves with saying that "war will bo the outcome of all this harbor grubbing , " adding : "Owing to our sovereignty of tb eei wo are able to pick and choose my part ID China which strikes our fancy. If it Is already fortified by our rivals , so much th better. " The BrltUh Parliament reassembles during the second week of February , three week * later tuan originally intended.
