Jones kept tally und MoNlcklo did not , und when the roll call was completed , nnd only 68 votes had been recorded for the bill , Jones rushed to McNickle , nnd brazenly Informed Iilm that the 69 votes had been secured , and Insisted that ho should redeem his pledge. NcNlcUlo took Jonas' word and changed his voU ] , being deceived Hy the Insane howls of the submission crowd , into the belief that ho Was giving the deciding vote. And now the measure , having 59 votes , Wilcox was caught the sumo box , and was compelled to give Ki Is vote to the measure to redeem a similar pledge. Then Sweet , who was personally opposed to the bill , was held by thu sheer moral force of a conclave of prohibitionists , who sur rounded him in a dense mass , preventing liiui from seeing the speaker. Influenced also to some extent by the cry of "boodle" that bad been raised.

Great ex citement has been created hero by the re ceipt of news from Madison of a deliberate attempt tla t night to assassinate Hon. Frank W. Pope , who was the republican candidate for governor m 13 4. Mr. I'opo has been residing In Madison since the beginning - ginning of the yellow fever epidemic , and Is not well liked there on nccount of Ins political nniliatlons. Ho was recently engaged by Mr. Goodrich , the defeated feated republican congressional candidate , to take evidence for the contest. United States Conimi-ssionerWlltzbegan this work with him early this week. The news spread through out the county , and the feelings of certain reckless people wcro worked upon with the result thut a deliberate plan was laid to take Mr. Pope out and lynch him last night. Some of the conscivntlvo residents of Madison were apprised of the affairs , and the governor received notillcation. The sheriff was ordered to select a posse nnd guard Pope's house This was done , and the would-be lynehers failed. It is feared , however , that they will catch Pope olT his guard , and u strict watch is beincr kept. To night the excitement runs very high. Pope is game and says that he will fuco the con sequences of his political service. ABMISHMBN'TS. "Vlrginlus" has been n popular ploco In this city. It achieved its popularity tluoucl the remarkable Impersonation of the title role by the lamented McfJulloiigh. If reccn representations of thu piece have not at tracted largo , brilliant and enthusiastic audiences , it bos been because the peopl had como to the conclusion that the char acter of the Roman parent had died will : that tragedian. Hobert Downing aspires to reach nnd oc cupy the plane In the theatrical world va cated by McCullough. In so far as his rcn ditlon of Virgiulus is concerned , lib ambition Is not only laudable but reasonable. Physically ho is moro than the peer of his predecessor. He is of shapely mould , handsome , honest features , nnd a voica excellently modulated nud ngrcejiblo in intense outbursts as in the quieter passages of the play. Ills carriage is distillled , his gestures graceful , his fea tures mobile , readily adapting themselves to the emotion to which ho desires to give ex pression. Experience and intelligence with such a compliment of gifts from nature would seem to bo about nil that would bo re quired to enable Mr. Downing to reach the guerdon of his hopes. With these attributes also , this gentleman bus been endowed. The result ns noted ut Hoyd's last night , is a careful , consistent , loving , forcible imper sonation of Virgiuius. H is not that of nn adventurer who has mistaken his power , nor that of a man who nervously reaches and ex citedly attacks the climacteric dilllcultios of the p.irt. It is rather the act of a man modestly confident of his power and no loss conscious of the meritorious nature of his work , livery climax is admi rably reached , and in the nscont the effect is hoigntened by momentary indications of conflicting emotions , which nro illustrated with remarkable lldelity to nature. Mr. Downing's articulation 11 very distinct , his lowest aspiration being distinctly audible throughout the theater. In several scenes his vociferation exceeds what might bo ex pected , but this is atoned for by the fact that it is not simply noise. There is soul in his every sound , and it will not bo long before Mr. Downing will have recourse , in these fea tures , to tbo repression of emotion which was so happily employed by his predecessor. Mr. Downing , to our way of thinking , in bis line , is without u peer in this country. Ho is supported by a good company , these most effective lust nicht being Eugenia Blair as Virginia and Helen Trauey as Servia. THEY 1'ItOJL'EST.

Hut in view of advices from Apin,13ayard instructs I'eudletou to say that this government has assumed that Ger man olllciuls in Samoa would bo Instructed carefully to refrain from interference with American citizens and property there ; hence no declaration of martini law could extend Gorman Jurisdiction so as to include control of Americans in Samoa. Such a pretension could not be recognised by this government. " The remainder of tlio correspondence as transmitted by the president , ro.ids us fol lows : UKIMUTMIINT OP STATE , Jan. 31. Uaranl to Count Arco-Vulloy [ Informs him of the receipt of n telegram from Blaoklock , and s.iya ] : "Not knowing what construction might bo given to his authority by the Gor man consul at Samoa in said proclamation of martial law , I deemed it expedient at once to communicate to our minister at Uerlin , in forming him of the preoiso language of the telegram from Dlacklock and stating that the declaration of a state of war by the Ger man empire against Matnufu and his party In Samoa had been previously communicated through you , nnd that Prince 13ismarck , in his instruction to you , also stated that the German government would of course , abide by the agreement with America nnd England with respect to Samoa and pay duo regard In all instructions to the rights of these powers established by treaty. Our minister at Hurliu was'therefore instructed to make it knoWn at the German foreign ofllco that the United States trusts that the German officials in Samoa would bo instructed scrupulously to abstain from all interference with American citizens and their property in Samoa , and that no increase of German Jurisdiction over American citi zens or their property would be caused by the Gorman declaration of martial law ; nor would such Jurisdiction bo conceded by the United States. " Count Arco-Vnlloy to Bayard [ Under in structions' from tlio prince chancellor Febru ary 1 ] : "As a state of war was de clared against Mntaafa , the commander of the German squadron issued a proclama tion by which the foreigners established in Samoa wcro subjected to martial law. In ternational law would , to a certain extent , not prevent such a measure , but as Prineo lilsmnrck is of the opinion Dint our military authorities have gone too far in tins in stance , the military commander has received telegraphic orders to withdraw that part of the proclamation concerning foreigners. In negotiating with Mataafa our consul at Samoa has asked that the administration of the island of Samoa might be temporarily handed over to him , which demand , not being in con formity to our previous promise regarding the neutrality nnd independence of Samoa , ICnappo has been ordered by telegraph to withdraw immediately. " Not With Germany. [ Copi/rfoht 188,9 liu Jama dnnloii Tiennttt. ] LONDON , Fob. 1. [ Now York Herald Cable Special to THE Bnis.l The Standard , In the course of a long editorial on the Samoan - moan question , says Prince Bismarck is not likely to eo'urt a quarrel with the United States for the sake of gratifying n local splto of llorr Webber or any of the pushing Ger mans who aspire to treat the Satnoan Islands na their Pacific preserve. There is no mis taking the earnestness and sincerity of the protest made ut Washington In this caso. No theory of electioneering exigencies can bo invoked to explain away the uncompromising language employed by lending politicians. The reserve with which Mr. Bay ard hus hitherto responded to appeals made to the state depart ment for prompt and cncrgetlo action will not mislead Gorman diplomatists , In his correspondence with Berlin ho has made his meaning exceedingly clear. The United States will not tolcnuo any attempt to sub vert the Independence of the Satnoan Is lands. Thu engagement Into which the cabinet at Berlin has entered with Great Britain precludes us , on our part , from as suming that any infringement of neutrality of the group Is contemplated , but it must * bo owned that there Is enough in the recent proceedings to Justify the concern \ylth which American statesmen regard tno situa tion , Surely it U time that the cooler head of the chancellor should overrule the flimsy arrogance ol Ills 'sub ordinates at Apia. Ho has work enough on hand as it Is , Why should .ho not make the representatives of the JJnltod States a pretext for retirement from thocon- , diet on which It was u mistake to enter and which it would bo infatuation to prosecute , The Daily News , commenting on the same question , observes that there U no-doubt that there is some room for mfsglving on tlio facility with which Prince BIsmurcK can secure - cure the agreement of Lord Salisbury In his colonial undertaking , but Wo hesltato to be- llovu that oven the prime minister's ; jijcimiity will extend so fur us to support , atUho risk of a disagreement with the Amor lean govern ment , a policy of further repression In Samoa.

[ Special Telegram to TUB HER. ] General Franz Slgol is no ad mirer of Secretary Bayard's easy-going policy in regard to Samoa , nor dooi" the fact that he wus born In Germany make him look at the matter with other than American eyca. Ho said to a reporter last night : "It Is a corigiu uiattur , but 1 hope that whatever may oomo out br It , every true American citizen , native or ndoptod , will bo firm In support of the American fc'&vcrnmcnt. What business had the Germans to land armed troopi or to try to land them I And , furthermore , the kidnaping of Kinrf Malloton would have been ciiouuli lo array thn whole popula tion of Samoa ngaiiist the Germans , nnd Justly so. If the position of the Imperial Gorman government were endured by the Amerlcnii government , such a concession would create n precedent which in the fu ture would prove moro daninrous to the American republic than even war , for It may creatcby-and-bv , a cliclo of monnrohial pos sessions around this roitutry which would bo iiuu'li harder to break than to prevent its formation now. I sincerely liopo that con gress nnd the executive will not bo Influ enced or blinded by the Insignificant minor ity of Gorman Imperialists In this country , nnd especially not by such gatherings as that said to have been called together by the Ger man minister at Washington. " Scout the lili'it of Wnr. Biutux , Feb. 1. The North-German Gazette - zetto , referring to the reports from Samoa , says ! "Tho declaration of war In an Inter national sense on the part of the German consul or coirmamllng ofllcor in Samoa , Is improbable , first , because no Instructions to that effect have been given by the govern ment , and second , because there Is no oppo nent In the islands against whom war could bo declared. Tuma3e.su Is n friend of the Germans. Mataafa Is not recognized as a ruler by Germany. To declare war against him would bo tantamount to recognizing his sovereignty. The German forces may , on n basis of sclf-dofcnso and reprisals , bo engaged - gaged In actual warfare , which , however , would not Involve the consequences of inter national war. " The Cologne Ga/ctto says : "Germany must restore the authority In Samoa which was grievously shaken by the events of De cember , nnd must make tin example of the misdoers. It can only hasten conspiracy with America if her congress desires to stay the hand of Germany and officially support Matuala's band. On the other hand , the diplomatic side of the question does not bear the complexion of war fury. In the nine teenth century no battle will bo fought over Samoa. Germany's proposals for a settlement - ment of the dllllculty , now on their way to Washington , will convince the Americans of Germany's endeavor to deal Justly with all duly established interests. " Senator Kryo'n Opinion. WASHINGTON- . 1. Senator Fryo said to nn Associated press reporter this evening that to-day's developments in Satnoan mat ters have not , in Ins opinion , changed the situation in any important particular. The Germaus ho said , may have abandoned tcrnj porarily tholr rash methods , but they hnvo not in the least changed their purpose ; but on the contrary , they will go straight forward to the completion of that purpose unless some action is taken by this government to prevent it. The Germans , said the senator , made up their minds long ago * to take pos session of the Sumoan islands , and they will not change their policy in this respect us long as the United States government offers no objection. Congress should instruct the president to make a uoinund upon Germany for a restoration of the status quo. That de mand , ho said , would undoubtedly DO com plied with. , Xtipmus' UoHoliitions.

There was no uncertain sound about the Eighth ward meeting that was held in favor of the Farnam street site at the corner of Twenty-fourth and Guming streets last night. The hall was well filled , and was filled with voters. There was no disturbance , except when Bub Balcoltnbo attempted to in terrupt a speaker once or twice , and when n gentleman who claimed to be a " 1'eunsylvanin Dutchman from the Sixth , " made the state ment that ho could carry awny the stones from the present slto in his pocket , and then became insulted because ho was laughed at. Simon ICuhn was chosen as chairman , and E. L. Tiffany secretary , after which they waited until there was not a vacant clmir in the house and the nnto-room was crowded. Walter Hennott then offered the following : Kesolvcd , That wo , the voters of the Eightn ward believe that the city of Omaha should abide by its action heretofore had , und that the slto for the city hall should re main as heretofore located. The question was put and carried almost unanimously , only three or four saying "no" and ono of them saying it thrco times. Then a standing vote was called for , and when the "noes" wore counted there were only five , ono being "Hub" and another the gentleman from the Sixth. No further debate was nec essary , but it was decided to let all these * who felt like it speak on the subject. A. L. Dick was called upon and was the first speaker. Ho said ho was n citizen but not n property owner , although ho hoped to become one before long. ( Two of the Jeffer son square men then loft. ) Ho had carefully considered the question of relocation , and recognized from the action previously taken that It was incumbent on the city If for no other reason than that of keeping faith with the world to build on tin * silo they had ad vertised they would. Ho would vote on his convictions and they wore formed on what had been done in the matter. The citucim - had voted in favor of the present site , they hud voted bonds for the building of the city hail , tliuy had let the contracts , they had put men to work , they had taken 25,000 from the school board for the express purpose of building It , and now u few squirming , squabbling property owners wish the intelligent citizens to repudiate. nil this in order to servo their own private interests. Tlio action of the city had led to the heavy Investment of eastern capital In the neighborhood , and to repudiate that action would bo a disgrace to the city ami an injury to its credit. It bus been u reflection on the men who have been the cause of this strife that it has boon their own and not the city's Interests they hnvo tried to servo. Hub Halcombo had inndo several interrup tions , and was then Invited to speak , Ho said ho had not como there to speak , and thought the Kontlomon hud called on him to mnko us "big a fool of myself ab I could , " Ho reviewed the Cuming street grad ing and said that the property owners had ' to light to Imvo it doiio so that the fanners could como duwn Sixteenth street and go south "to Farnam street or the center of the city.

She appeared to bo a quiet , modest girl , and they olmrgo the doctor with having obtained undue Influence over her. _ What will be done with regard to the doctor I am unable to say.

MADE A Olil'iAN ' SWEEP. An Indiana Coniily Clerk Takes Ills Ki'Hidnnoo In C'nnnda , , , Fob. 1. John Sullivan , county clerk of this city , who failed for last Thursday , i missing from the city , and is supposcd'to bo in Canada. His Ilight was occasioned by the discovery that ho had issued fraudulent warehouse receipts for largo consignments of poultry , produce , etc. The union nts of these receipts have not yet developed. Sullivan's confidential clerk and bookkeeper , O'Noil , who wrote the re ceipts , Is also missing. There is no longer any doubt but that County Clerk Sullivan and Thomas 11. O'Neal , IIIH chief clerk at his poultry wa'o- house , have lied the city and are now fugi tives from Justice , and arc probably In Can ada. Sullivan's wife says that John has gone to Now York to raise money , but this statement is not credited. Sullivan's defal cations are estimated at from ! v > l > ,000 to $100,000. ilo niailo a clean sweep of money In the county clerk's ofllco and did not leave enough funds to pay thn salaries duo his deputies. Ho raised money on everything ho could lay lls hands on , and the presumption is that ho carried a K od round sum away with him. I is embezzlements , nsido from legitimate debts , now roach about fiS.OOO. AH a sample of his methods , it. has been discovered that a few days ago his wife gave a mortgage on BOIIIO property she owned in this city , and raised J.OOO through James Hunilmn , ono of Stillivau's bondsmen , the understanding being with Kcnilian that Sullivan was to nso the money to meet any run on the clerk's office which might follow his failure in the poultry Business. Heiilhan placed the money to Sullivan's credit for this explicit purpose , but instead of applying it to debts owing at the clerk's ofllco , Sullivan coolly checked out the entire amount and presumably pocketed it , thus practically rob bing his own wife. Another victim is F. Car- BOH , who loaned him $ liUOOonhis , Maple wood farm , and took what ho supposed was a lirst mortgage , but now finds that u prior mor.t- page had been given two weeks previous to his. Charles M. Millerson , Stewart nt the Spencer house , loaned Sullivan $3fiOO , eight years' savings , nnd took for it Sullivan's worthless warehouse receipt. Millerson is prostrated over his loss. DOUlJIjY RAIDED. First by the I'olluo nnd Tlion by Thieves. An energetic burglar made a larger and better haul oa the Chinese opium Joint on Howard .street than did the police when the raid was made Thursday night. Nearly $1,000 was stolen from the place. When the seven Chinamen and three white females wcro taken from the alleged laundry to the city jail , the police , at the request of the Chinamen , said they would have an onlccr guard the place. This the Chinamen claim the police neglcctod to do , and when they got out of prison yesterday morning they returned to find that the place had been burglarized. A trunk belonging to Sing Fong was broken into and &iJO ! in gold , $250 In currency and $ ! ) i ) In silver taken. His i brother , Lee Fong , lost $103.50 in gold and -t : silver , which was locked in another trunk. From the money drawer of the store , as the Chinamen call it , f Ki.40 was stolen , with u pistol. The thief also got away with about ! worth of silk goods. ; Sitig'Fonir stated last night that a woman who lives above the store , saw the thief leav ing the place.

A revolver , with one chamber discharged , was found at the bedside oloso to the right hand of the dead prince. The position In which It was found proved bo yoml doubt that the crown prineo committed suicide Tlio report of the revolver was heard by no one. the attendants buying loft the house to make preparations for n huntIng - Ing excursion. Several members of the crown prince's entourage state that during the lust foxv weeks the crown prince had manifested signs of morbid nervous excite inont , and therefore the Wiener /.oltting savs the view that the shooting was the result of temporary mental derangement must iio ad hered to. Some time previous to his death the crown prince complained of headaches , which were attributed to an Injury to his head which ho sustained by a fall from a horse last autumn.

The ArchdiiKn Charles l.ouls , the om peror's brother , has renounced his rights of succession in favor of his son Francis. Tlio net of renunciation was not formally signed , nut a draft of the document was hurriedly prepared.

LONDON , Fob. 1 The 1'all Mall Gazette says it is privately .informed from Vienna that Crown Prineo Rudolph committed suicide , because it was optional with him to take his own lifo or fight a duel with the In-other of a princess , who is u member of ouo of the hignest Austrian families , and whom he had seduced. When concealment , was no longer possible the princess confessed horshamo to her brother , who cave liudolph the alternative of com mitting suicide or lighting a duel. Thu ( tarottfl further says the doctors who wcro summoned refused to sign n certificate to the effect that Uudolph's death was duo to apoplexy , and that a scene ensued. Ono of the doctors told the Ncuo ! roie Press the real facts , which that paper published. A dispatch to the Standard from Vienna says : Prineo Rudolph probably wrote several oral copies of the letter before finally signing Lhu ono sent to his father. His caudlesvero Iwrnt down to the sockets , proving that they had been burning live or six tiours. Ho probably paced the room , nerving : iimsolf for the desperate act. When ho called bis valet , he said , "What about our shooting ! Isittimoi" The latter answered "It is too early yot. It is still quite dark. " [ iiidolph replied : "I will rest a little more. " Ueiith must have been instantaneous. The ibscnco of the valet and othnr servants , who were preparimr for the day's shooting , will account for nobody hearing the report. The contents of Hudolph's letter to his father wore kept secret by the emperor for two lays , even from the ministers , nnd wore ben divulucd only to clear the memory of ho son from suspicious worse than the truth.
