nURLlN , Jan. 8. The Reichstag will re
rifsomblo on Tuesday and the budget com
mlttco will forthwith begin Us deliberations
The chances of the naval bill arc materially
Improved. The conservatives , with the ex
ceptlon of the agrarian wing ; the natlona
liberals and a fraction ot the radicals , now
generally favor the measure , whllo a spll
among the centrists Is now In process o
formation. Tlio Prussian members , undei
the leadership of Ilerr Lelber , are Incllnec
to vote for the bill with certain amend
mcnts. On the other hand the South Ger
mans , especially the llavarlans , are unalter
ably opposed to It.
If the split la effected Hmperor William
nlll have his big navy , and the Centrists
the most powerful opposition ot the govern
ment , and against whose wishes no measure
could hitherto bo passed In the Reichstag
will cense to be a unit , and a new party
grouping will bo necessitated In the Reich
stag which will materially affect the quin
quennial elections In the spring , for the
new attitude of the center will influence the
higher Catholic clergy , especially Archbishop
Stablcwskl and Prince Bishop Kopp.
POPE'S INFLUENCE TDLT.
Yielding to the wiihea of the Vatican the >
are largely responsible for the series of Im
portant demonstratlcos preparing In favor
of the naval Increase. The first will take
place In Dorlln. January 3 , when twenty-five
heads of t'JO Industrial and manufacturing
establishments and banks will convene. I
the emperor and the government are willing
to accept certain amendments , notably in ic-
gard to the Ecptennato feature , the measure
can bo oasscd by the present Reichstag
though there will probably bo a close vote
From a man oP tbo Immediate entourage
of the emperor It IB learned that both Emperor
William's and Prince Henry's sensatlonu
tpeeches at Kiel wore w'.iolly exturrpoiu-
ncous. Prlnco Henry was takcti wholly bj
surprise , and being quite unused to public
speaking , delivered his remarks In a manne.
which ho would not himself have approved
of If they had been submitted to him pre
viously In writing No control , however
being oosslble , the speech ent to the world
to hU end his majesty's chagrin.
uut'.icrlty contradicts
In this connection the same
tradicts the statement that every word the
emperor utters In public Is carefully writ
ten. On the contiary , it appears his majestv
seldom iwerares his remarks , and they are
mcbtly Impromptu , and delivered on the in-
pplration of the moment. This Is true li :
regard to all the emperor's sensational and
officially quoted speeches.

h.is been brought Into light in Paris for the
use ot the higher orders of society to conduct
their Intrigues. It Is situated close to the
Orand Opera and undertakes to post letters
from any town chosen by the sender with
a view to misleading the addressee. Pcr-
quIsUlonn made by the police show the office
has over a thousand clients on Us books ,
among them being l.iwjers , doctors , actors ,
bankers , as well as many members of the
French aristocracy. The existence of thn
Industry was discovered In the course of an
Inquiry Into the Estcrhazy case , eomc of
whoso supposed anonymous letters to the
Dreyfus family have been proven to have
been pent through this channel.
A private letter from Rome says Hall
Calno Is now there making a study .at the
Vatican for a new novel , He was a guest

Mrs. Mackny was also present at the pope's
maw and U to have a special audience with
the pope tomorrow. She proposes to stay
at Homo until the end of February , and then
to pay a visit to Sicily. Some of her friends
In Homo nave been warning her that the
enterprising Sicilian brigands would dare
anything to get Into their clutches the wife
of a bonanza king In the expectation of n
big ransom , but Mrs. Mackay says nho will
bo able to take ample care of herself.
Private theatricals at Chotsworth during
the visit of the prince and princess of Wales
were on a much more ambitious scale than
those at Blenheim. They owed their micceps
by general consent to the talented acting o !
Lady Randolph Churchill and Mrs. Willie
Jumcs , both Americans. Mrs James Is the
greatest personal favorite of the Princess
of Wales , whose circle cf female friends Is
of the most limited and selected character.
Mrs. James' unaffected brightness delights
the princess , who seldom meets any one
quite unrestrained In her presence. One ol
the most entertaining Incidents of the mem
orable roval visit was to see 'Mrs. ' James
posing In divers unconventional attitudes
before the princess' camera. Another fea
ture of the party was that Arthur Balfour
passed the tlmo golfing with women op
ponents , while all the other men were en
gaged in shooting battues. > Mr. Balfour has

LONDON , Jan. 8. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Clement
Scott's Indictment of the morality of the
stagu continues to excite fierce Indignation
In theatrical circles. The Era , the oldest
.and staitiest of theatrical papers , today
makes a noteworthy contribution to the
controversy. Scott said : "I am astonished
any man should calmly endure his wife be
coming an actress. He must bo either a feeler
or a knave. " On this the Era observes :
"Will it be believed this man allowed his
wife , a clever amateur , to take part in
numerous public dramatic performances and
that she has been for borne time , with his
consent , endeavoring to become a profes
sional actress ? We have heard Mrs. Scott
herself state she had been trying earnestly
and actively to get a permanent engagement
on the stage. "
David Christie Murray says : "For twenty
voars I have had the gooJ fortune to spend
much of jny time with actors and actresbcs ,
and know a do/ea ; women as pure In mind
after work on the boards as any household
angel. The fact Is , In a great majority of
cases , the very temptations which beset ac
tresses breed robustness of virtue , In Itself
uncommon. "
Scott makes no reply whatever , either to
the criticisms of his views or the galling
personal onslaughts provoked by this Inter
view. Ho has withdrawn to Riviera , re
fusing to say a word of any kind on the
subject. Ho Is conscious that he made a
ticmcndous mistake and is greatly weakc'ii-
ing Ilia position as the leading English critic.
He has found one champion only , in George
Bernard Shaw , who roundly asserts the
only fault is hla allegations were not sweepIng -
Ing enough , but Shaw , with all his bril
liance , IB not taken seriously.

( CoiiyrlKht , ISM , by the- Associated Prcef. )
LONDON , Jan. 8. The disclosure of the
details and terms of the acquisition of Klao-
Ohau by Germany momentarily scared Uo
British public , which , however , now regards
Germany's move with all the more equanim
ity , as In the opinion of persons Intimately
acquainted with China , Klao-Chau bay Is of
llttlo commercial value ant will only bo a
eourco of hugo expense for the "German
Jamcsoners. " If the harbor had been com-
j mcrclally valuable , It Is pointed out , It would
long ago ihavo been made u treaty port , but
It Is eatd to be completely overshadowed by
the close provtmlty of flourishing Cho Too.
The province of Shan Tung , It Is said , Is ea-
tlrelj agricultural and hardly able to supporl
Its population , whllo the strategic value ol
Kiao-Chau buy cun be Inferred by the fact
of Russia , In splto of the Casslul treaty , al
lowing Germany to occupy U. Altogether
Klao-Chau bay Is not likely to prove a bed
of roees.
The Drltls'i government maintains a
sr hlri\-llko reserve regarding Chinese af
fairs und there are no further revelations of
Its Intentions since the statement made by
the Manchester GuarJia'i on January 3 anl
cabled at that time , which was unquestion
ably the official view of the situation.
A conclusive Illustration of the attitude of
the Hrltlsa government Is furnished by the
presence of war ships of Great Britain at Che.
inulpo and Port Arthur and It is likely to bo
further demonstrated by the sending of ships
to Klao-Chau bay.
WILL NOT FORMALLY PROTEST.
In well Informed circles It Is asserted that
It Is not likely Great Britain will Oimally
protest against the lease of Klio-CIviu buy
to Germany , but will confine Itself to the
slgniflcnHt hint given In the movements of
Its fleet that It Intends to claim an equal
iiaro of all China's concessions In regurd
to all seaports , "leased or looUJ , " as. being
treaty ports.
It Is amusing to notice Russia and Franco
courting Japan. Doth of them are In deadly
fear of Its forming an offensive and defensive
alliance with Great Britain. As a matter of
fact there arc things more unlikely than the
eventual alliance of Great Britain , China
and Japan and the contingency would acquire
still more probability should Great Hrltaln ,
as It now seems certain , guarantee a Chinese
loan. At the present moment , bo far as
Great llrltaln Is concerned , the loan Is the
kernel of the whole situation.
lA suggestive pleco of news Is that Japan
Iris purchased two cruisers of 9,000 tons each ,
which have been building In England for
Chill.
It Is not believed the Chinese loan , If com
pleted , will affect the market for silver. As
the money Is required to pay the Japanese
war Indemnity and would not bo sent to
China , silver could not bo utilized.
The official statement that the military
tactics In Eg > pt are purely defensive Is not
ciedited. The greatest activity Is manifested
In all quarters. Immense supplies of ammu
nition and food are being forwarded to the
front and It Is whispered In military circles
that this means that the ministers desire to
meet Parliament with Khartoum In tholr
hands , so that a triumph In Africa may off
set the blunders In India. Even with the
liveliest effort , however , the tlmo Intervening
will hardly suffice for a coup In the Soudan.
The Anglo-Egyptian force consists of 18,000
Egyptians , three battalions of English forces
and the Nile gunboats , commanded by the
sirdar , Sir Herbert Kitchener. The latter
refuses to allow1 the war correspondents to
go beyond the head of the railway.
NATIVES ARE WARRING.
A letter has been received from a British
officer serving In the Soudan , who says that
since July the dervishes have killed over
2,000 of the Jaalin tribe , and ho adds that
the women and children who are homeless
end starving number 5,000 eouls.
The Swedes seem Inclined to take ad
vantage of Russian preoccupation In the for
east to reopen hostilities with Norway.
When the relatlonb between the two countries
were strained In 1S9G. It became evident that
Russia was Inclined to aid Norway In ex
change for the cession of Klnmarlt , Including
the port of Hammcrfcst
The appointment of ex-King Milan as com
mander In chief of the Servian army lian
caused a Ecntmtlon. Irj well Informed circles
the opinion is expressed that the appoint
ment was necejsary , as the Servian army ,
which has great admiration for the former
king , is assuming an Independent attitude.
The government believes that Milan will be
able to calm the dUaflectlon , but the course
of affairs In Scrvla Indicate : that King Alex
ander may ere long retire In favor of his
father. It Is said King Alexander has an
unconquerable aversion to wedlock , but on
the other hand It Is stated that ex-King
Milan will soon marry again.

fraudulently put on the register In con
siderable numbers under the pretense that
they wcro lodgers , paying rent from

fathers' house scandal aroused was BO great
that several judges aud other high nlllclals
have written to the press , stating that these
voting claims wcro made without thcli or
tholr sons' knowledge and were in fact for-
cerles. Every day fresh batches of names
uro unearthed and a demand Is now being
powerfully urged on the government to
prosecute for conspiracy ! the unionist agents
In Dublin who were responsible for prefer
ring these bogus claims , The unionist gov-
ciiment , of course , Is trying to ignore Its
dutv In the matter , but Iho frauds have

that It Is doubtful If they can afford to do BO.
Candidates In thu present election arc James

Justice In a horrible form was adminis
tered by a mob on the Oklahoma border Fri
day night to J. Marcus.McGclsoy and Palmer
Simpson , two Seminclo Indians. They were
chaigcd with murder , their victim being Mre.
J. S. Simmons , a respectable farmer's wife
living In Oklahoma. The 'crime ' was a meat
revolting one and the criminals were pun-
McGelsey and Slmpsort'vvero arrested.
The murder and mutilation of Mrs. Sim
mons so enraged the neighborhood that
nearly the entire populace turned out to
punish the guilty parties. The trail led to
the home of McGclsoy , near Maud , where
McGeisey and slmppon were ai rested.
After securing their prisoners the mob set
flro to McGeisey's house and barn and did
not leave until they saw all of his earthly
possessions reduced to ashes. The prisoners
were then carried back across the line Into
Oklahoma territory and near the scene of
their crime they were executed by judge
lynch's order in the most horrible manner
that human minds and human hands could
devise. They were burned at the stake.
The Indians mot tholr doom ivlth the usual
Btoicism of their race. After life was ex
tinct the mcb allowed the fires to dlo down
and they then quietly dispersed to their sev

China , none of which clash , but , on the con
trary , all ot which united are a formidable
memace to cither China or Japan. England
alone stands for the interest of the United
States and the rest of the world , desiring
no terrltorj , but keenly Interested In the de.
velopmcnt ot ralhva > s , telegraphs and other
Instruments of commercial progress.
"Russia is the real power about the Yel
low sea. It finds admission to the back door
of China by means of Its merchants on cara.
van routes and this will be stl'l ' more the
case when Its railway Is cpmplete. That vvll ,
make Pekln and St. Petersburg tcrmlna
points of one road.
"Russia exercises over China a species of
Monroe doctrine that is all the stronger for
not being on paper. Russia is looked upon
by the Impotent Pekin government as a pro
tector , mainly against Japan , but also
against other European powers. Russia props
up the rotten Manchurlan dynasty much as
the concert of Europe has been bols.tedng up
the sultan. This is nor clone-fdKmothlng
and China must pay for it In land or other
concessions. "
.My friend liad been to Port Arthur as well
as to Klao Chau. He described both of them
as having excellent harbors , free from Ice in
winter and offering abundant shelter for any
number of big ships.
PROM AN ENGLISH STATESMAN.
An English statesman , who knows what Is
In the mind of the cabinet ministers here
better than any one except Lord Salisbury ,
gave mo this opinion of Germany's position
toward China :
"It is a mistake to think that England will
attempt to grab land in China or make a
great war demonstration because Germany
has seized Klau Chau. At the outside Eng
land will only seize some point from which
it can insist upon the fulfillment of treaty
obligations. England seeks trade with China
as with the rest of the world and welcomes
American competition as calculated to help
develop the country Industrially. I do not
believe that Germany means at present more
than the fortifying of a coaling station in the
far east , with a view to making its alliance
precious to Russia. If , however , Germany
should pretend to secure exclusive control of
Chinese trade , then will It be time enough
for England to arm in defense of Its com
merce. 'England's ' strongest force In the east
Is moral , not physical. Tlio frco trade no
practice is quite different from the protec
tionism of Russia , France or Germany , par
ticularly In colonial matters. "
I aakcxl him If he believed Germany would
act as it has acted without a perfect under
standing with Russia.
"Russia cares not a snap for Germany , "
ho answcicj , "or any other country , but Ger
many seeks to convoy the Impression that
In this eastern adventure It Is backed by
the czar. The kaiser is thirsting for great
ness and I J apparently reckless of cense
quences.
"Public sentiment In England , whllo wholly
opposed to any friction with the United
States , would welcome war with Germany ,
and this has been true since January , 1800 ,
when the kaiser offered to Interfere be
tween the Transvaal and England. I am a
friend of Germany , but I see danger ahead ,
owing to this now policy of adventure. "
FROM AMERICA'S STANDPOINT.
After fiomc talking with several mcmbcni
of parliament , who spoke practically In the
same voln , I called for the opinion of an
American manufacturer largely Interested In
the far east trade. Ho said :
"Our duty as a natlcn Is clear enough
Chlra is a rolcidld cuutome-r and t'.ie more
t Is opened up , the more splendid is It In
ny eyea , Fiance , Germany and Russia arc
; oed at shutting out trade , but England gives
us a fair show , everywhere , China Is going
o need mil ways , and wo can make the best
ocomotlves In the world. Our exports In
machinery are growing In Importance , and
vo have a better light to a share of China
ban any country excepting , perhacn , Ens-
and. Japan docs not forget that Huesla
cheated It out of the fruits of the last
Chinese witr , nor Is It yet reconciled to Rus
sia's retaining Sagftallcn ,
"Our Interest lies In forming a close al
liance with JapJli and England ; not for a
jleigo policy , but merely to have In Chinese
waters fliili a combination as can checkmate
any hostile movement against existing com
mercial relatlus. "
"Outside of such men as I have quoted who
have tiaveled the far east and studied the
question there I find much confusion In
the public mind regarding the situation. The
main centers of disturbance are the three
emperors , who reside respectively In Berlin ,
St. Petersburg and Pckln.
"China appeals not to have changed since
my visit to Pekln , excepting insofar as the
administration Is oven worse than It was.
Patriotism does not exist and the murder of
missionaries springs not trout religious
fanaticism so much as from the hatred of

"The Russian czar Is not a stronct man , nor
even Intelligent , but ho Is moving with an
Irresistible tide of national expansion which
presses upon China , Just as the fiontlers of
the United States dripped over Into Mexican
territory fifty odd vears ago. So strong are
the forces driving Russia eastward that
progress Is secure so long as a great Euro
pean war Is avoided.
KAISER .MAY BE WRONG.
The German emperor wants Rus
sian friendship because that alli
ance was hold sacred by his
grandfather and his great grandfather.
Frederic William III of Prussia assisted In
Bupprcbsing the liberties of Poland In 1830
and 1SG3 , and as a reward for this Russia
remained neutral and also'hold Austria back
when the Kiamco-German war of 1S70 was
fought. The kaiser honestly believes tha'
Russia Is grateful to him for hla manifesta
tions of friendship and perhaps he Is right.
For my port , I fear tha' the emperor Is
steering a wrong course In seeking his
friends among those who govern by brute
force Instead of among his neighbors , who
respect Individual liberty. Prime Minister
Hohcnlohc appears to have abdicated nil his
constitutional functions , for v\e do not find
his countersign to any paper of consequence
conceived by his master. The German press
dares not speak plainly to Its cmpernr fi r
fear of iolng to Jail In general. HOWJVI-I ,
the action of William II Is popular because ,
so far , the German public has been made to
bellovo that Germany has secured valuable
trade concessions In China without pay
ing anything for them.

AT TABLE.
It required Konio tlmo to get the ihlg crowd
comfortably disposed around the long tabled ,
and when this was accomplished the capacity
of the big ( banquet hall had reached Ha
limit. Dut In splto of the crowd a very at
tractive menu was served with exceptional
facility. It requlrcii Just two bourn to dla-
pose of the nmro mibsiantlal features of the ,
program , and meanwhile tlui orchestra ren
dered a very enjojahle program.
The speeches which followed were heard
with close attention , Ijiukcn by Intervals of
exuberant cnthusl.iHm when a popular chord
was Hounded.
Just after 11 o'clock President A. II.
Hippie of the JaeksoriUn club Introduced
us toastmaHtcr I J. Dunn , who stated that
In accordance with a well established custom
Iho democrats of Omaha had met to pay
tribute to the memory of on ? of the greatest
< tntcsmon the party had ever produced , At
the same tlmo tlcy pledged their lldullty to
! ho principles for which Andrew Jackson
liad struggled. He declared that there had
never been a time when the Influences
igalmu which Jackson had battled wcro so
strong as now. Ho cmplml/oj the alleged
isrendoncy of the money power and bitterly
attacked -the attitude of the present national
idmlnlstratlon on the financial Issue , From
this ho veered to the Cuban question , on
which ho contended that the administration
was also In fault In that It did not tuku
flgarous measures to put a stop to the
atrocities that were being perpetrated under
the guise of clvillicd warfare .
The toastrnastcr then Introduced A , C.
iliallenbcrgor to respond to the sentiment ,
"The Day aud Why We Celebrate It " .Mr.
Shallcnberger received a hearty welcome
and liU tribute to W. J. 'Bryan was received
with prolonged applauoo , which culminated
In a round of cheers. Ho said :
