NORTHWESTERN MILLERS.
They Strike a Scrloiia Blow at Their
Minneapolis Brethren.
MINNEAPOLIS , Minn. , Oct. 12. [ Special
Telegram to THE BEE. ] About twenty mil
lers , mainly from southern Minnesota , held
a meeting ut the Nicollet house to-day , and
formed an organization to bo known as the
"Northwestern Millers' Association. " The
millers appeared to fear that the Minneapolis
mills would make a strong bid for wheat In
the localities represented by these pres <
cnt , and that something had to bo done tc
keep the cereal for homo grinding. As a
result it was decided that the members ol
, the association recognize wheat weighinc
fifty-five pounds to the bushel as No. 2 ,
whcrnas the state standard is fifty-sii
pounds. Official sieves arc nlso to be uscc
in determining the amount of dirt ir
wheat , and it is to be tested only on the basii
of cleaned wheat. Under fifty-five pound ;
for No. 2 it Is to be scaled down in price ot
the basis of 0 cents per pound. Prices foi
wheat in the country uro to bo on the basis o ;
Minneapolis quotations , less the freight t <
each point buying. All this is manifestly t <
the advantage of the farmer. The miller ;
want the grangers' wheat and are willing ti
make some concessions in order to get it ant
keep it from going out of the country. Tin
plan is regarded as a very serious blow to thi
Minneapolis milling interests.

Special to TUB HIE. : ] Illumination ami
sight-seeing last night , public nml private
banquets nnd general roystcriug left the
streets In the solo possession , until n Into
hour tliw morning , of decorations ami em
blazonry. Nevertheless the kaiser "had his
stirrup out and was to horso" as early as 8.
His equestrian companion was General
Driquct , of King Humbert's staff. They
were nblc to inspect the adornments closely
without interference , anil not a few astir
regarded the German emperor as merely u ,
military visitor. They also unobstrusively
went around the camp where to-morrow's ' re
view will occur , then returned to the qulrl-
nal. Doubtless , in reading the daily news
papers , the emperor found such opinions
as these from the Opinlone : "Tho Emperor
William , who is King Humbert's guest , will
pay his respects to the pontiff , being received
with sovereign pomp by his holi
ness in the latter's quality of re
ligious head. " From the Escrcito : "The
Italian alliance with Germany commenced in
1800. As a logical outcome the situation is
stronger than all traditions or personal sym
pathies , and has been so strengthened in the
succeeding twenty years as now to form an
essential basin of the European balance of
power. The Italian army , a poition of which
will bo inspected by the emperor , shouts to
day , 'Long live the emperor ] Long live the
German army I1 This shout will bo heard
beyond the Alps , finding there a sympathetic
echo. "
Among the military fraternity after break
fast King Humbert , leaving his own apart
ments , crossed into these of the emperor and
made his morning call.
About noon the kaiser drove from the
quirinal to the German territorial residence
of Hcrr von Schlocccr , the Prussian min
ister to the holy sec. Here he cxchangca his
uniform of the hussars for that of the
cuirassiers. Ho then lunched with Hcrr
von Schloecer. To this lunch had been in
vited Cardinal Rampella and several pre
lates. The emperor and his suite then left
for the Vatican in carnages vrhlch had been
expressly sent from Berlin for the occa
sion. The vehicle used was a victoria ,
painted black , with red stripes and
ornamented with silver. It bore the mottoo :
"Gott Mit Uns. " The carriage was drawn by
four horses. The entire line of the route was
lined with troops.
Exactly at 1:30 : the emperor's carriage
drew up at the entrance to the court yard of
San Damasso where ho was received by
Prince Ru poll ud by Count Bismarck , vr ho
had preceded them by a few minutes , and
the cardinals of state. The court yard was
lined by a platoon of Palatine guards
with their four drummers In old
fashioned costume. There were the tradi
tional white aprons. A striking cfjcct was
produced by a sharp roll of drums without
any other music as soon as the emperor ap
peared. The emperor was conducted to the
pope's apartment- The way was lined by
the Palatine guards , Swiss guards , pontiflclal
gcnsdaruics , and lastly in the pope's ante-
i com by the noble guards. After the pres
entations the pope retired with the emperor
to his private apartment , where they nad an
interview lasting thirty-five minutes.
No other person was present but when the
emperor reappeared his face bore traces of
deep emotion. The interview between the
pope and emperor was cordial and did not
touch the burning questions of the hour , the
emperor having assured bis holiness
of his desire to strictly adhere to the
confirmation policy in politics , social ques
tions and religion. The pope replied that
the security and grandure of the German
empire would gain a great deal if the liberty
of the Catholic church In Germany and the
independence of the papacy were to be more
effectively guaranteed. His holiness Insisted
thai it was absolutely necessary for the in
terests of European civilization that the
Roman question should receive satisfactory
settlement. What answer the em
peror gave to this my inform
ant was unable to tell me. After
the emperor had left , however , tbe pope ex
pressed himself in most fluttering terms
with respect to the kaiser. A procession
was next formed to visit the museums and
galleries of the Vatican , which , having exam
ined , his majesty descended to St. Peter's
and Inspected the sacred edifice.
At 4 o'clock the emperor left the Vatican
and drove direct towards the quirlnal. Ho
was again heartily cheered by the populace.
The troops had been withdrawn and
as bo drove along his carriage
was often surrounded by the crowd which
pressed forward , eager to catch a gllmpso ol
his face. An imposing demonstration took
place when Queen Margberlta , who was
taking her usual drive , met his cairlage.
The emperor stopped his carriage ,
and , standing , made a deep bow , Thcii
majesties then exchanged a few words In
the mean time the people broke out Intc
most enthusiastic cheers and the carriages
had great difficulty in moving on. The imperial
porial compan y dined together and passed n
quiet evening. Outside the illumination and
popular rejoicings continued until midnight

Terrible Affliction of a Young New

PAIUS , Oct. 12. [ Now York Herald Cabh
Special to TUB HEK.J Very sad indeed is
the case of Mr. Edward O. Bird , of New
York , who is now lying ill at the Granc
hotel. Mr. Bird , captain of the Sixth com
pany in the famous Seventh regiment , is wel
known in New York society. The younf
man reached Paris two weeks ago. This was
his first visit for some months. Ho wa !
looking forward to tbe pleasure in store foi
him and his aged mother. His twc
sisters were already in Paris and he was
planning a surprise for them by arriving un
oxpectedly. The surprise was other than hi
had prepared. Mr. Bird rose in apparen
good health after his first night's rest at the
Grand hotel. After breakfast and semi
shopping ho went fora drive in the Bois wltl
the ladies. While in the carriage he rva
suddenly seized with a fit of dizziness. Ii
reply 'to a question of his mother's hi
said : "It is no use talking to me
I do not understand. I canno
see nor bear and I have a terrible pain in in ;
head. " He was taken promptly back to th
0 hotel , where he went to bed. Ho has bcci
there ever since. It appears that for month
pistilr. Bird'has autUred with severe be a
IX ( a
aches. His Now York physician has assured
him that the cause of the trouble was a dis
ordered liver. One of his purpose * in com
ing to Europe was to consult a
specialist for such diseases. Imme
diately after the serious attack , the
day after his err val t o best medical old
was called In. Or. Cliarcot , the greatest
specialist in nervous diseases in Franco , de
clared at once that the patient's lUftlcully
was not with his liver but with his brain.
Ho considered the case very grave. Since
then Dr. Cliarcot has been keeping up n hard
light by the sick man's bedside. Throe and
four visits n day have been necessary and a
trained nurse has never left the slok room.
Mr. Bird has lost the entire control of his
mental powers. Ho was unable to
spc.ik or to understand or to con
trol his movements. Bo suffered In
tense pain. He could not cat , ho could not
sco and his dreams at night were hideous.
The doctor shoved the hair from one side of
his head and covered t'.a exposed scalp with
burns and blisters. By degrees ho has been
regaining his faculties. First he could sou
with one eye then with both. Ho became
able to manage a pen and to recognize his
sisters and mother. At present no is quite
rational nnd Ur. Cliarcot expresses satisfac
tion with the progress ho i limiting.

LONDON , Oct. 12. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to Tun BUK.I The Times , com
menting on the meeting between the em
peror and the pope , observes : "No more cu-
ious visit has probably ever been p.iid to the
ope at Home since Hohcnstauffor did horn-
> go at Conassa. That is the last occasion on
vhlch a German emperor and the pope saw
no another face to face. It happened when
be popes occupied a position very unlike that

till more disbimilar. Tor an instant It

It was no more than political caprice
r a move in the game of statesmanship
vhich thu player speedily discovered was
mistaken. Naturally Berlin , as it has
natchca at every opportunity to
rove , and the Vatican , are
'ormed to be on friendly terms. Both are
'ssentially ' conservative in their temporal ten-
cnclcs and the diversity of theological be-
icf hinders more than encourages Jealousies.
At present not a brrath of controversy dis-
urbs their amity and the visit of the cmj
icror to Italy ought to help consolidate It , so
unbroken In their mutual regard. Except
or the hospitality of the quirlnal , which is
a topic the least likely of all to bo touched ,
heir conversation necessarily could not turn
pen disputed points. The popeis too goodn
itatcsman to have harardcd a hasty talk
upon them had they existed. He is too ear
nest a student of human nature to have
n any case thrown away in pur-
> uit of other objects the chance
f understanding the possible future master
f the destinies of Europe. He had an hour
r two in which to analyse the new and un
explored character , and every European
itatesman would bo , glad to know what he
makes of it. Prince Bismarck himself might
not be sorry of a little , light from a fresh
ind unbiased quarter. The mqulsltlvoness of
, hc world , either In its inner or outer circles ,
t is certain , will not bo gratified. The Em
peror William docs not wear his heart upon
his sleeve. He is an unknown force , and it

River in charge of freight trains. They are
accused of burglarizing and robbing thcso
freight trains of valuable merchandise la

cities. The robberies aro. supposed \ \ \
to cover a period of twelve or
fifteen months and thousands , of dollars1
worth of valuables are missing. Four of
the parties are under arrest , nnd telegrams
and officers have been dispatched for the
others. Some of the men Have been in the

Dillon. The names of tbo others are
withheld so as not to defeat
the operations of the officers. Liquors ,
