Concerning Ills Magazine Article.
BKIILIN , April 27. Messrs. 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.

AMTjHKMENTS.
Artistically , financially , socially , the
Booth-Barrett engagement was n capital
success. Another audience , fully as largo
and brilliant as that which witnessed the
opening performance , filled Uovd'f. opera
house last night und enjoyed keenly the pres
entation of Tom Taylor's short tragedy , "Tho
Fool's Revenge , " und W. 1) . Howoll's three-
act adaptation , "Yoriok's Love , " The first
introduced Mr. Booth iu an entirely different
guise thun ho had before been seen in here ,
and never did Mr. Booth appear to such ex
cellent advantage ns In the title role of the
latter piece. Really his performance was
the crowning feature of the ovuning.s
entertainment. Tlio' story Is a very
' interesting one , wpll written , fascinating in
action and wns given with a dash that was
refreshing after so much heavy , slow-moving
' business. But both plays hold the audience
in wrapt attention , uud ut the end of bis
performance Mr. Booth had a double
curtain call.The mutmeo yesterday
afternoon was also ' very large
uud the rendition of "Othello" gave great
satUfuction. Both stars expressed them
selves as thoroughly pleased with their re
ception in Omaha. "Wo greatly enjoy , " said
they , "playing to such appreciative sympa
thetic uudlonccs. " From here they go to
Denver for one woekthonce to Salt Lake City
for two nights , Sun Francisco for four
fl'i weeks , Los Angeles a week. Portland ono
U week uud there close their season. Mr ,
Booth thinks that his general health Is bet
ter than it has been for some time. His re
cent illnons was caused from too much
smoking. It was his custom to suioko twenty
or more strong cigars and pipes every day.
Now bis physician forbicjs him to have more
than five or six. Already hobegins to feel
the beneficial effects ana may abandon the
Vf od entirely.

their half. One run , however , was all thci

Cackling Carroll made n hit and stole second

He got homo on Wcrrick's out at first.
Messltt opened up the fourth with n corker

Clarke reached first on an error. Strauss
knocked out n couple of sacks for himself ,

Crooks wont to third. Andrews nnd his

Everybody screamed with delight as
Scrappy Jack pranced around the square
like n ycarliug colt. Canavan then made a
hit and scored on Tuekcrmnn's wild throw.
Strauss' out ended the inning.
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. With good weather the white
legs would have annihilated Mr. Tuckoruian ,

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.
Some of the old biiWinyi | of the fort are In
a dilapidated condition , ami little regret will
be experienced whcn.they shall bo oblitera
ted from the- face otit > eijrth.
The garrison Is atlUlitborlug under the ef
fects of the unexpected death of General
Hatch. That ( rallan.tQicjor' | \ > & successor has

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.
