j GREAT DAY FO* BISMARCK.
Ue la Welcomed to Berlin at a Conquer*
Inc Hero.
Beilis, Jan. 87.—For the first time
since March 18,1890, when he resigned
the chancellorship of the German em
pire, which he had so long held, Prince
into von Bismarck, the hero of the
masses and the man who cemented the
empire, entered the royal palace to
day, as the gaest of the Emperor and
the reconciliation between the young
Kaiser and the venerable confidential
assistant of the old emperor was com
pleted. It is the sincere wish of all
Hermans that there will never be a
new severance Of the relations of
friendship between the two.
Prince Bismarck and his family
breakfasted at an early hour this
morning and the family servants were
delighted when they noticed that he
lind donned his historic -cnirassier uni
form,for the first time in several years.
Ilo seemed pleased at his appearance
for the handsome uniform made him
look like a giant when compared with
his appearanco in the frock coat of
civilian attire which ho had been in
the habit of wearing recently.
When ho left the castle of Fried
richsruhe the cx-chancellor was ac
companied by Princess Bismarck,
Count Herbert Bismarck and Drs.
Schweninger and Chrysander. The
whole neighborhood of Friedrichsruhe
turned out to cheer him, and six beau
tiful young girls, dressed entirely in
white, presented to him a handsome
laurel wreath inscribed: “A Happy
Journey.” These six young girls also
carried largo baskets of flowers and
preceded Prince Bismarck’s party to
the railroad station, strewing the road
with flowers amid the vociferous
cheering of the immense crowds which
lined the route.
In Berlin itself the people were astir
at-a much earlier hour than usual and
tho streets soon became filled with
people, in holiday attire, pressing on
ward in order to take up the best po
sition possible along the route which
tho prince would follow from the
Lehrte-Hanovcrian railroad station
through tho Brandenburg gate and
along Under den Linden, to the castle.
Tiie emperor intended to welcomo
Prince Bismarck in person, at-the rail- i
road station, but, at the last moment,
was obliged to send his regrets to the
prince as he was obliged to meet the
king of Saxony at the Anhalt railroad
station, at exactly the same hour that
Prinee Bismarck was to arrive in
Berlin.
Just .after noon Prince Henry of
Prussia, brother of Emperor William,
surrounded by a large and brilliant
staff, rode .up to the station, where lie
. was heartily received. The station
was tastefully decorated with flags,
flowers, evergreens and bunting and
carpets were laid on the platform and
down the steps leading from the sta
tion.
In addition, there were present
representatives from nearly every
society in and about Berlin and a large
force of municipal officers and stu
dents.
Promptly at 1 o’clock the train bear
ing Prinee Bismarck and his party
from Friederichsrulie to Berlin
entered tho station and slowed up at
the platform. Bismarck was seen at
the window of his carriage and was
loudly cheered.
When the train had come to a stand
still Prince Bismarck stepped upon
the platform whero he wa3 met by
Prince Henry of Prussia and a large
crowd of distinguished officers. Prince
Henry extended a most cordial greet
ing- and the ex-chancellor shook hands
with maby of the distinguished offi
cers present, several of whom, es
pecially the veterans, were affected
considerably at thus meeting the iron
chancellor once more.
After a short interval, during which
a number of most complimentary
little speeches were made, Prince Bis
marck was escorted by Prince Henry
to one of the imperial carriages which
i was in waiting at the entrance of the
depot. As the prince emerged from
the station and was recognized by the
people, a storm of cheers arose from
the crowd until it assumed a deafen
ing, roaring sound which could be
heard for miles. He was the first to
enter the imperial carriage and ho
took a seat on the right of Prince
Henry of Prussia, who followed him
into the vehicle.
From the windows of the houses
along the route followed by the
prince's carriage to the palace and the
crowds of people gathered in the
streets, showers of flowers were
thrown into the carriage and people
shouted themselves hoarse.
At the palace Emperor William, sur
rounded by a brilliant staff of officers
of the highest rank, received tho ven
erable ex-chancellor aud extended a
welcome extremely cordial, and it was
evident that the prince was much
touched at the heartiness of the em
peror’s manner. The three eldest sons
of the emperor were present at the
reception.
Later an enthusiastic succession of
demonstrations was on, thousands
upen thousands of people packed the
square in front of tho castle, singing
the national anthem, “Wacht Am
Rhein,” and “Deutschland Ueber
Alles.” The enthusiasm was so great
that the emperor and empress and tho
young princess and Prince Bismarck
repeatedly appeared at the window in
response to these manifestations,
which continued throughout the after
noon.
At 3 o'clock Chancellor von Coprivi,
followed by all his secretaries of state,
called at the castle and left their cards
for Prince Bismarck.

I WILSON TARIFF BILL
VERY FEW AMENDMENTS MADE
IN THE HOUSE.
TWO IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE.
The Sugar Bounty Knocked Out and
Wool to Be Free Immediately on the
1'amage or the Act — Representa
tive Burrows Speaks of the
Plan of Campaign of the
Republicans.
Washington, Jan. 20. —'The Wilson
tariff bill emerged to-day from the
ordeul of amendments to which it had
been subjected the last two weeks and
is now in its perfected form so far as
the house can perfect it. The ad
ditional days of debate next week,
will be given exclusively to the in
come tax. It has been so difficult to
keep track of the different amend
ments from duy to day that the ways
and means committee have not copies
of the perfected bill.
C_ Of the two inateriul alterations in
the bill—sugar and wool—that on
sugar is of far reaching consequence.
The committee had decided to grad
ually extinguish the sugar bounty by
taking a part off each year for eight
years, llut the radical anti-sugar ele
ment succeeded in passing their
amendment doing away with the
bounty at a single stroke. The rad
icals also amended the bill so that re
fined sugar, as well as raw, goes on
the free list.
The wool amendment changes the
bill so that free raw wool and reduced
duties on manufactured woolens go
into effect as soon as the tariff bill
becomes a law. The bill had fixed
August 1 as the date for free
raw wool to take effect and De
cember 1 as the date for the reduced
duties on manufactured woolens. But
the radical element would accept no
delay, and as a result, there is no post
ponement of dates in the woolen
schedule. The difference of four
months between free raw wool and
reduced duty on manufactured wool
was given in order to allow the trade
to adjust itself to the change.
Among the lesser amendments made
are those raising the duties on dia
monds from 10 per cent under the bill
to 30 per cent and the specific repeal
of the reciprocity clause of the McKin
ley bill. •
_ Representative Burrows. Repub
lican, of Michigan says: “The Repub
lican members of the hopse will have
no caucus on the tariff or income tax
questions. Neither have they agreed
on a policy. There is no need of an
affirmative policy. We are simply
passive while the majority proceeds to
execute its commission. We recognize
it would be futile for us to attempt to
execute any affirmative policy. We
have offered amendments, but they
have failed of recognition, or have
been defeated by the majority. What
need, therefore, is there on our side of
the hou sc of a pol icy? We will quietly
wait while the other side furnishes
the policy.”
Representative MeMillen, in charge
of the incofne tax bill, said as to the
prevailing reports that the income tax
might defeat the tariff bill: “I would
be the last- to jeopardize the tariff bill
by an income tax or anything else.
But I am absolutely positive that the
bill as a whole—tariff and income tax
—will pass.
NO CHANGES IN LEAD.
The House Refuses to Alter the Wilson
Schedule—Cockran Gives Up.
Washington, Jan. 29.—In the house
to-day all the amendments to the lead
schedule were defeated after a debate
of only an hour.
Washington, Oan. 3 .—After the
reading of the journal in the house
this morning, Mr. Haines of New
York made the point of no quorum
and fthe speaker ordered the roll
called. This was in pursuance of a
policy decided upon by the New York
members to filibuster against an or
der from the committee on rules ex
tending the tariff debate authorizing
the offering of the internal revenue
hill as an amendment to the tariff bill.
The call developed the presence of 181
members and the filibustering came to
an ignominious collapse.
The speaker recognized Mr. Out
waite of Ohio from the committee on
rules and he reported the special or
der for the Wilson bill and income tax
amendment providing for a vote there
on February 1 and he demanded the
previous question.
i he opponents of the income tax
realized their helplessness and did not
even make a show of resistance. Mr.
Coekran of New York, however, sug
gested a slight modification of the or
der, so as to close general debate on
the internal revenue amendment on
Tuesday. To the other terms of
the order he had no objections. “YVe
can make but a poor show of resist
ance.” he said, “against both the
friends and enemies of the main bill
who have united on the income tax
proposition and this slight modifies
tiou is all we ask.”
Mr. Hatch of Missouri loudly de
manded the regular order and,
although appealed to, refused to with
draw it. Without further ado then
the special order was adopted.
The house then resolved itself into
committee of the whole and the con
sideration of the tariff bill was re
sumed, the pending amendments be
ing those relating to the lumber
schedule. Mr. Doolittle, Republican,
Washington, made a strong
plea for the substitution of the lumber
schedule of the present law for that
of the Wilson bill. Free lumber, he
said, would force the laborers of his
state into competition with the cheap
t'hinese and Japanese labor employed
across the Canadian line.
James McCullough, who was post
master at YVaverly, N. J., under Har
rison, has been arrested for refusing
to give up the office to his successor.
OKLAHOMA STANDS ALONE.
Probably luMtraroantable Objection* to
lurludmy the Teroltory In n State.
Wshixagtox, Jan. *29.—Most of the
arguments, written and verbal, thus
far presented to the senate committee
on territories for the admission of
Oklahoma as a state,, have advocated
that the lands of the five civilized
tribes be included in the boundaries.
However desirable such a consum
mation may appear—and in fact would
be—there is the very gravest danger
that persistency of effort on these
lines will postpone Oklahoma’s ad
mission for some time. Lawyers of
standing in the house and senate even
hold that the supreme court would de
clare the act invalid by reason of the
explicit declaration of the treaties
that the lands in question should
never become part of any state or ter
ritory without the consent of the In
dians.
There are immediate practical diffi
culties no less formidable than the
more distant legal ones. General
Wheeler, chairman of the house com
mittee on territories, without specific
ally defending his own position yet
says those treaties create an insur
mountable bar and the lands of the
five tribes cannot be added to the pro
posed state without trampling those
treaties ruthlessly under foot.
POPULIST INCOME PLANS.
A Substitute for a Graduated Tax to Be
I-aid Before the House.
Washington, Jan. 29. —The Populist
members of the house have arranged
with Representative Richardson, pre
siding officer of the committee of the
whole, for the recognition of one of
their number to move the substitution
of their provision for a graduated in
come tax in place of the fixed tax of
two per cent in case the income tax
feature is added to the Wilson bill.
The substitute measure has been
prepared and is now ready to be
offered at the first opportunity. In
stead of 2 per cent on all incomes of
over $4,000, this amendment proposes
a graduated increase, fixing the tax
1 per cent on all incomes between
$2,500 and $10,000; at 2 per cent on in
comes between $10,000 and $30,000; at
3 per cent between $30,000 and $60,000;
at 4 per cent between $60,000 and
$100,000, and at 5 per cent on all in
comes over $100,000. ,
OIL STRIKES IN KANSAS.
Nineteen Flowing Well. In Wilson Coun
ty—Gas Also in Quantity.
Neodesha, Kan., Jan. 28.—An oil
company of Pennsylvania, which has
been prospecting for oil and gas near
this city, has drilled twenty-one wells
and only two have proved value
less. Five wells have been “shot” with
nitro glycerine causing them to flow
in great quantities into large tanks.
One of the wells has yielded oil at the
rate of twenty-four barrels per day.
The average depth of thq wells is 855
feet.
Two gas wells have been sunk with
capacities equal to any of the great
gas wells of Indiana or Ohio. The en
gineer in charge of the works claims
that this will be the most valuable oil
and gas field west of the Mississippi
river.
TO AVOID THE LYNCHERS.
A Negro Arrested for the Vernon Outrage
Spirited Out of Spring Bold.
Springfield, Mo., Jan. 29.—Yester
day a message was received that Katie
Jacobs, the girl brutally assaulted at
Vernon last Sunday,would arrive here
to-day to identify the negro Barclay
arrested here. The officers to-day
said the girl was too sick to come and
that the negro had been taken to
Mount Vernon, and that she would go
to that point to see him. It is, how
ever, asserted- that the girl was in
town to-day and recognized the negro,
and that the officers are taking him to
Kansas City to avoid lynching.
