LONDON' , Nov. 1C. ( 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.

TALK OF TAMMANY.
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 ,

TRANS-MISSISSIPPI AND JTSfjERNATIONAL EXPOSITION , Omaha , 1898
NEBRASKA. BUILDING.
The Nebraska building possesses architecturally a distinctive character. It is cUsalc in style , closely following the loalc order , with unconventional detail. There
are two grand entrances , emphasized by pediments embellished with statuary and the grand feal of the state. The building Is 90x145 feet. The principal feature Is the
central dome. ( This Is elxty feet in diameter , octagonal in form , , aid rises to a. height of eighty-five feet. This dome .Indlcates plainly the magnificent assembly
room , which Is open to the top of the dome. It Is surrounded at the second story by a large gallery. Off this assembly room , -which Is Intended for general
gatherings , are offices , reception rooms , rarlors , baggage and toilet rooms. These are for the convenience of various state societies and also for the use of states
having no buildings ot their own on the ground. The four corners ot the building are surmounted by small domes which. In form and ornamentation , harmonize
beautifully with the central dome. Over each entrance and opening from the gallery Is a large , airy balcony for the use of the public. Above these balconies are
band galleries , reached by stairways from the main gallery , which also lead to the roof , where a promenade Is provided !
While not a very large building , the general harmony of style , excellent prorortlcns and tasty detail make this one of the attractive bulldligs of the exposition.
The building will typify the wealth , prosperity , material progress and educational advancement of the state ot Nebraska. Craddock & McDonald , architects , Omaha ,
made the design.

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. Another olltor ,
Herr Feldmann , has been sentence } to four
week * ' Imprisonment for unfavorably crit
cUIag King Leopold of Belgium.
The Vorwaertt e3 > s : "All the rulers of
the eirth joyfully recognize the fact that
in Germany the monarchic principle is care
fully shielded agiicst wicked critics and tie
fame of the German peril code will pene
trate even to the rulers of the African
tribes.
"Wherever & ruler la unpopular Ut him

shelter of lese majeste every criticism is
forbidden , he may spend the rest of hi *
days in peace. " *
In view of the grow ingj number of B'e-
marck's statues , Prince Bitfcarck Is reported
recently to have said : * "ft annoys me to
see mjself stand on a fossilized pedestal. "
The ex-chancellor has thuk far refused to
attend any unvellicgs of similes erected In
hlr ? honor. i
The importation of Chinamen has been
resumed by large land owners in the east
ern provinces of Prussia. On Wednesday
last twenty-five celestials , arrived at Stettin
via Rufsla , and on Thursday seventeen more
of them reached that place. They were all
hired by contract to work * on an estate at
Mecklamburg , Pomsraniu
Mr. Emll Blatz , the Milwaukee brewer ,
accompanied by his family , is In town.
Herr George Llebling , the composer and
royal pianist , some time ego struck a critic
and was sentenced to a fortnight's imprison
ment , but he bos determined to emigrate
to the Urited States Aliliout undergoing
punishment. It he.returm. to'Cermany , how
ever , he will be s'ubject to.rearrest and Im
prisonment. He has brothers living in New-
York and In Chicago. Liebling appealed to
the emperor , who refused to pardon him.
The Unfted States embassy mide another
urgent representation in bebylf of Edmund
Z. Brodowskl , appointed United Statea consul
at Breslau , against whose nomination the
German government has protested. 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.
Rhenish Prussia , all the members of the
band of German counterfeiters of 100 mark

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. " ,

CEDAR RAPIDS , la . Nov. M. ( Special

Seattle , Wash. , says :
Charles Wood , who recently came here
from Vinlon , la. , walked into the police
station and stated that be had met and
talked with Edward Murray , for whose mur
der Frank Novak Is now being tried1 in
Iowa. Wood said there could be no mistake
about It ; that he not only.saw Murray but
met and shook hand : and talked with him
In a saloon. They bad talked but a few-
minutes together , when Murray stepped to
the door , as If to call a friend , 2nd went
out and filled to return. Though Wood
searched all over town he could fi-d no
trace of the man again. He at once re
ported the matter to a man whom be believed
lievedto be a police officer , but he was
not , and did not give it to the police until
tonight. The police are looking for Murray.
Chief of Police Reid wired the sheriff of
Benton county the full particulars of the
case and got several telegrams in return
Every effort will be made to discover Mur
ray. Wood sa > 6 he has known Murray for
5 ears and he was there at the time of the
burning ot Novak's store and knows all the
particulars. Wood Is apparently a man of
standing and his word is believed.

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. "
