Ifnsson , Phelps and Bates , the American delegates to the .Hamotm conference , called upon Prince 131s- innrck this afternoon. The delegates are delighted with the re ception accorded them , The chancellor was especially cordial to Hates , who explained that the articles on Samoa , In the Century magazine , were written long before ho was nominated as a delegate to the conference , nnd that after his nomination he tried to Withdraw the articles , but In vain , AS thou sands of copies had bco printed. Bismarck showed perfect familiarity with the Samoan conference. Ho expressed a hope that the conference would bo brief. Ho frequently referred to the diplomatic and parliamentary experience of Kasson nnd Pholps. The first sitting was hold nt 2:30 : p. in. , to-day , at the foreign office. Bates explained to Herbert Bismarck that since the publication of the official dispatches In the white book , which showed the attitude of the German government , hia article in the Century Magazine , which ho had written as it private and uninformed person , had lost all point. He said that ho had the utmost es teem for Germany , to which country Anienuii owed much. Nothing was further from hia thoughts than to wound the Gorman nation or the Gorman government. Bates said he desired that his statement bo published , and ho trusted that It would remove entirely any ill-feeling toward him. IOWA NKWBT GranfH Itlrtlnlny. DE3 MOIKES , In. , April 27.

Messltt opened up the fourth with n corker for a couple of bags. Canavnn was retired at first , but Jack made third on the play. Clarke reached first on an error. Strauss knocked out n couple of sacks for himself , scoring Mcssitt and Clarke. Coonoy took first on n muff by Trodway , nnd Crooks was hit by the pitcher.

In the seventh , eighth and ninth Omaha added a single score to her total In each , and In the ninth St. Paul bagged four. These , however , were n pure gift from Clarke. The game was ended and he very sensibly made up his mind to take no risks with his arm. So ho just tossed the ball in to the Saints , and they managed to touch him up a little. It was a miserable day for ball playing , nnd the gnmo was much delayed by the clouds of dust that ever nnd nnon enveloped the diamond.

Welcomed bj tlio Soldiers. FOUT HODINSON , April W. [ Special. ] A more beautiful day could scarcely have boon doslrcd than that which contributed to mak ing the reception of the board of trade at Fort Hoblnson an unequivocal success. At the depot , the vctoran commandant ol the post , Gonornl James S. Brlsbin , was on liana to welcome the visitors. His npponrancc was greeted with , demonstrations of appre ciation. Ho exchanged greetings with several of the party with whom ho was acquainted , nnd then under his escort the visitors pro- ccodca along the old familiar walk , past the original fort , past the quarters of ofllrcra who still hold some of the ancient and antiquated residences until the club'room was reached. Just as the last mentioned place was reached , In response to the bugle call which had been sounded some minutes boforc < the troops of the Ninth cavalry , of which there are four stationed at the post , made their ap pearance , on their way to the parade grounds. The general had evidently ordered n special parade In honor of the visitors , be cause It was then but 2 o'clock In the nfter- noon. One of those troops passed the room of re ception. The members were colored and everyone of thorn was almost a beau Ideal soldier. Each rode his horse with the mili tary air and grace of a Ney , and among them I noticed several grizzled veterans whoso chevrons bespoke n service extending back nearly n quarter of n century. Seine of theao were prominent figures In the Ob sequies of General Hatch , the late command ant of thu fort , who wns two weeks ago laid to rest in the national cemetery at Leaven- worth. As this troop passed the club room it at tracted the attention of the visitors nnd evoked many hearty commendations from those who were able to recognize nnd dis posed to appreciate the personal qualittca- tions which contribute greatly toward excel lence In the life of n soldier. An informal reception was hold by General Brisbln , each of the visitors being warmly greeted and welcomed to the iwst , The general was met for the first time by many members of the party although oil of them had learned to know him through his articles in the newspapers , many of which had been written exclusively for I'm : BKB. The reception over , the party adjourned to witness the parade. A largo plaza iu the rear of some of the old quarters had by this time been taken possession of by four troops of mounted men , Lieutenant Finluy acting as adjutant. K troop was commanded by Captain Parker , I by Captain Hughes , F by Captain Stcndman..nnd B by Captain Ladd. The nvorago attendance was about forty mnn , though the unuolmttendnnco is about sixty-five members. . to each troop. The difference , , . . -inj the size of the troops was occasioned by the absence of of some of the members.1 from the post nnd the employment of ; others on futiguo duty. The manoeuvurs of. . the cavalry were wit nessed for the first , time by nearly all the visitors nnd , notwithstanding that the sun was warm , were gcontly appreciated. The colored band of the regiment , under the leadership of Mr. t.VVnttcrs , discounted a number of piccosi in.n most approved man ner. * i i } The parade over , bout and guests again as sembled in the club room , the former rein forced by n number of the younger and more dashingoflloers.iDf the post. The gratlQcation of those : gentlemen , o dicers who It 'is , known J would be lastutn feast nnd first , atlfl , ; . fray , was ot the greatest. Thiey .gave hfp , to the occasion , renewing old and Tormina many new nnd appreciated acquaintances , The sharp cr.ick of liquid explosives showed that they were well armed and pave thorn nn ascendancy over their visitors which the latter , for a long time , were unable to overcome. No blood , however , was spilled. Instead , there was a fearful destruction of the vintage of sunny France , which was at length termin ated only by the retreat , in peed order , of the visitors. The hospitability was characteristic of the old fort ; mil the gallant men who nre iden ti lled with it. It left a favorable Impression on the visitors which doubtless will never bo eradicated. Nor will the recollection of the scene be easily effaced. Up to the time , It was the most beautiful our party had wit nessed. They had been , in u measure , pre pared for it , however , for a hun dred miles before the place was reached. The visitqrs found in the the various unique , wonderful conformation of the mountain crests around them a source of ceaseless consideration and satisfaction. Those marvels of nature , like an immense cresting , surmount the ridges and may bo Imagined to be anything in the way of a ruined structure from the simplicity of a blacksmith's forgo to the stately grandeur and impressivcncss of a cathedral of the mid dle ages. Tbo hosts comprised General Brisbin , Captains Corliss , Bailey , Hughes , Steadmau , Taylor , Lieutenants Terrett , Hubert , Owen , Ludd , Bcttons und Preston. The excursionists were accompanied to the train by many of the above named gentle men who were not , however , without some persuasion , induced to ride with the party to Crawford , the next station where am bulances were found to take them back to thu fort. General Brisbln was among the party nnd the last to discon tinue the exprebsing the pleasure the visit had occasioned him. Persons familiar with Robinson , in all probability' before many months will flnd a great part of the original structure u thing of the past. Tlio old log huts , which were hastily improvised in trying times , havob cn abandoned , and will be removed from the face of Iho earth as soon us the new fort , MOW almost in course of erection , shall have been completed. The appropriation of $7.OUO made some time ago has been utilized in erecting six new sets of ollicera' quarters und six now sots of companies' quar ters , nil of which nro now occupied. They resemble in design those of Nlo- brara , being of but one story , with long1 , sloping roofs , the eaves of which In some places extend a considerable distance beyond the walls of the structures. The Etpace between these rows of buildings is as level an u palace hull and will make un excel lent imrudo ground. The lust appropriation nf Y30UOO will bo utilized to build another sot of company quarters 'and ' .a guard house nnd satisfy several minor , ' requirements , among which will be a waterworks system , as well us one forsowcring.i > < > i J The grounds ore now being ornamented with trees , and in all .directions irrigation trenches are being laid. Those already Mu lshed are musical with streamu'which hurry to their destination nd1 if llimbued with the importance of the fertilization of the plain for which they have been created.

Is Swert. FDRMONT , web. , April 27. fSpootal to Tn Bci : . ] A telegram hiw Just been receive * hero from S. S. Price , of Omaha , sent from Hlncon , Now Mexico , yesterday afternoon stating that ho was on his way hero , having In custody Joseph L , Webber , n man whoso career In Fremont developed the largest succession of crimes In the way ot f orgory , probably , over occurring in Nebraska. The announcement of his arroat has rovlvod the story of Ills crlmo hero , and there Is intense publlo interest nnd oxcttomont on account of it. it.Webber Webber came to Fremont about 1870 nnd engaged in the barber business. Ho brought with him a small sum of money , nnd ti : ad dition to ptylm * hla trndo ni n tonsorlal artist ho loaned money nt the usual rate 01 Interest current here In those early days By this moans ho gradually ncqulrod n comfortable sum. Ho followed his occupa tlon nnd money loaning for about three years , during which time ho took special pains to establish himself in the good graces of the gonornl public , especially In the 11 nan clal circles of the city , nnd continued with the comparatively slow process of enriching himself by loaning his money nt the rale of 40 per cent Intorost. In iho latter port of 1870 ho began to resort to forgery to swell his Income. Ho did little of this business this year , but engapod In It on nn extensive scale during the months of February nnd Maroh , 1874. Ho forged dozens qf notes on fictitious names , and putting them among genuine bankable paper ho succeeded In disposing of * all of them nt a good round price , discounting thorn uufnclontly to Insure their sale. Dur ing the time ho was disposing of his forged paper he gave It out that ho was intending to start a bank at West Point , nnd ho in fact loosed a building for that purpose , hired a cashier and engaged board ut a hotel thoro. The crisis cauiu and hia rascally transactions were discovered when ho sold his household furniture to n local furniture dealer ut a sacrificed price. The removal of the furnl- turo from his house created suspicion , and upon inquiry It was found that bo had left the city , taking with him nt least $11,000 which ho had secured by forgery. The un- nouncoaicnt of this thruw the city into u state of excitement and almost created a panic , as the financial condition of Fremont at that time was not of the high order that it is at present. By the aid of the Pinkcrirm detective agency Webber was captured In about a weelr at Joliet , 111. Ho was brought back to Fremont and lodged in jail. Thir teen Indictments were filed against him in the district court , and in loss than six weeks he had been sentenced to five ye.vr.-t In the state penitentiary. Immediately after being transferred to the penitentiary at Lincoln. Mrs. Webber , who was nn attr.ictivo and voluptuous woman , nnd who had evidently rendered her husband assistance in bis dia bolical schemes , at once began nn effort to secure his pardon. She met with ill-success hero in getting signatures to her petition to the governor. She secured a few , however , from laboring men and of the class of citizens who Knew little about the case , and cared less , by treating thorn to beer , and otherwise. She also hired Charles Tenant , who was then running a hotel In Omaha , to copy on her petition the signatures from his hotel register , for which she paid him $20. Armed with this , she went to Lincoln and engaged rooms nt the hotel where Governor Furnas stopped. She remained there two months , and the sequel was that within five months from the time of her husband's Incarceration he was par doned. When the news of the pardon reached Fremont , which was not until forty- eight hours afterwards , public indlgnatio n was intense , and the result was the burning of Governor Furnus in olhVy , at the come ref of Sixth and Broad streets. This was fif teen years ago , but from that day until re cently nothing had been heard of Webber's whereabouts. Ho was recently located , however , at Wilcox , Ariz. , n little obscure mining town on the southern Pacific rail road. Mr. Price , of Omaha , nua B. W. Itoynolds , of this city , wont there to secure him , but ho was at that time absent In San Francisco. They , however , made certain of his identity , and soon after returning homo they wore notified that ho was there , who n Mr. Price secured a requisition from Gov- srnor Thayer nnd went to Wilcox and secured - cured his mun. Ho is expected to arrive I n Fremont with him to-morrow. This case lias been prosecuted by Wilson Itnynolds , who was swindled out of the pittance of ? 7.50. Whpn Webber was brought back from Jollet , Mr. Reynolds interviewed him in jail uud asked him to disgorge the $7.51) ) , is it was too small a sum to speak about. Webber refused to do It , when Mr. lioynnlds issured him that that $7.50 would follow lim all the days of his life , nnd the sequel ) roves that Mr. Reynolds has kept his \vord. A Snide Couple.
