BBIII.IN , July 1. [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to Tun BISK. ] A moro unenviable
position than that In which the government
llnds Itself after the elections would bo dim-
cult to Imagine. After all the coercion which
was brought to bear at the polls ; after rais
ing the cry , "Tho fatherland Is In danger , "
which most appeals to this undoubtedly
patriotic people , the reply comes in the shape
of a Htlchstug wherein the covernment
linds itself at the last moment doubtful
whether it has obtained a majority or not ;
dependent on whether such a small party
as the Poles or the nntl-Scinltcs will give it
support , and liable at tiny moment to defeat
unless It gives way to the exactions and fads
of ono or the other of the parties. That the
government will manage to obtain a major
ity , however slim , seems likely. If there bo
danger of the bill not passing pressure will
be brought to bear , and the general opinion
is that sufficient members can bo detached
from the center to obtain a majority on the
throat of another dissolution and the cense _
quent fear of further social democratic vic
tories , and the usual promises of future con
cessions , may bo the allowing of the Jesuits'
return.
Seine of the rosulbllltlcs.
It Is not to'bo lost slzht of , however , that
there has been a peed deal of talk of the
anti-Semites desiring to become the popular
party and detaching themselves from the
conservatives and voting against the bill.
This I scarcely believe will take place yet ,
but seven anti-Somites will probably vote
against the bill. If the Poles , as Is very
probable , also vote against It wo might , Und
a majority so largo against the bill that the
blandishments of the government might fall'
to bo effective.
I hear that the chancellor himself is Un
certain how the Ilolchstag will act. The
Kreuze Xeitung , orderof the right , threatens
trouble If Caprivl grants any further con
cessions to liberalism beyond the
Huene bill , whereas the liberals and
a Portion of , ftho _ antl-Semltcji

'absolutely "dcmXn deV'thV"two-ytars service
law as the price of their votes , and 'also a
guarantee that there shall bo no further
military taxation , and other concessions. In
fact the chancellor Is In a dilemma , audit
would seem that his future hangs by a
thread.
Tuesday next the presldcnt.of the Cham
ber will bo elected. It will be , as usual ,
Von Lovotzow. A candidate for vice presi
dent will bo presented by the center nnd
will probably bo Baron Herrmann or Baron
de Duel.
Then the bill bo submitted to a commis
sion , which will report six days later. After
this the discussion will recommonso. It is
expected that' several German sovereigns
will pronounce In favor of the bill , the prince
rcget of Bavaria taking the initiative.

Few that the fierce electoral battle is over ,
tb.o time has como when wo can make a
"study of the features of the new Uelclistag.
The laurels of victory will ibo with the null-
Semites , who have gained no less than ten
seats. They were six In the last Helchstug ,
now they are sixteen. Their presence still
further complicates the machinery of legis
lation , for It adds another party , whoso
eolu object Is to obtain concessions from the
government. Broadly speaking , this party
would deprive the Hebrew race of all
social nnd clvlo rights. It Is food for re 1 lec
tion that they received the support of nearly
half a million electors. They have been out
stripped in the raold progress made by the
socialists , when compared to the nntl-scm-
Itcs who rose gradually. Whereas four years
ago the antl-semlte party was represented l
by ono member , at the following election
they numbered six , and now sixteen. Now
the socialists have indeed become jealous of
them , but thcro Is little doubt but the nnti-
Semites , who today wage war against the
Hebrew capitalists , will one day join hands
'without the socialists in waging war against
capitalists In general. Ahlwardt. In n pub
lic speech , has already said ho will make a
scene In the Hclchstag , nnd thcro are
others in the party , for Instance Huhnchon ,
who are just as violent , so wo may expect
scenes more outrageous than any previously
experienced ,

After the Ilrst returns they expected to

The kaiser has invited Kosciolski , the
Polish leader , ana his captivating wife , who
has so much influence over the Polish mem
bers , to visit him at Kiel. This visit has
alarmed the independent Polish press , which
adjuresitlrt > partynot to'givo way -unless/
Caprlvi admits the use of the Polish Ian-
guaso in'tho schools of Posen , Upper Silesia ,
btu. I hear , however , that Kosciclski has
reassured ' 'tlio ' kaiser , engaging himself to
convert cloven opponents.
A Polish member vfritcs to Gcrmania that
oven If his party does not keep to Its tra
ditions , voting according to the will of the
majority , at all events cloven members will
vote against the bill , which means rejection
or acceptance by one or two votes. The
kaiser today expressed a staong feeling
against the two year's service Ho believes
Poles have scceedcd Bosso , minister of in
struction , made him n long report on the Po
lish situation. The indications arc the op
position to the bill will fall , and it will pats.
The kaiser has postponed his northern

The governor , quickly rising , seized Mr.
Anderson's crutch and struck at King , who
warded the blow with his arm nnd an um-

turned today from the Island In the eastern
part of this county , bringing with .him the
body of the ranger , Captain Jones , who was
killed yesterday morning by the Olguln gang
of outlaws. Before securing the body , how t'r
ever , it was necessary to appeal to the
ma ) or of Juarci , who wont In person , ac
companied by a body of police , and not only
delivered tlio body of the dead ofllccr to the
sheriff , but arrested Iho ringleaders of the
murderous gang. They will bo tried In Mexico

bo shot , as they are greatly feared in that
country , as they are bald and heartless free

banded "Spud" a largo lire cracker to set

fuse , holding It In his hand whllo engaged illu
conversation. His attention being momen
tarily attracted from the burning fuse , the
explosion came sooner than ho anticipated
and with terrible results. The right hand
was almost lilcrnlly torn Into shreds , and
was a ghastly sight to behold.
Shreds of flesli and pieces of the fingers
were scattered about on the pavement sev

AT COURTLAND BEACH.
Itn'.lnnn Ascension Drnwn n
HlC Crowd nt tlio I'npnlnr Itenorl.
AH of the 1,500 men , women nnd children
who went out to Courtlnnd beach last night
had a great time , and when they returned to
the city it was with n feeling that the
charming little spot was ono ot the llncst In
the country and that It was well up toward
the front ns a competitor with some of the
resorts of the mountains nnd thu oast.
The night was just the kind for nn outing
and the water was In the boat possible con
dition for bathing and until nearly midnight
every inch of wntor front within the danger
line was occupied by some of the plungers.
Ono of the crowning events of the evening
was the balloon ascension , nn ant In which a
young man went up 0,000 feet Into the nlr
and formed the acquaintance of the clouds.
Iho start was exciting in the extreme , ferns
ns soon as the captive balloon was cut loose
from its moorings it shot into space like nn
arrow , soaring over the lake In a northerly
direction. Away the air ship went until It
did not look much larger than your hand.
Suddenly thcro was a pistol shot nnd In
stantly tbo young navigator of the air
dropped toward the earth. For the distance
of 500 feet ho fell like a stone , but gradually
the parachute opened and spread out like
the wings ot a great bird , stopping the
force of the fall and allowing the balloonist
to land as gently as though he had been
provided with wings. There will bo another
ascension at 8 o'clock tonight , but instead
of a man , it will bo a lady who will make' the
journey toward the skies.
During the past week the beach people
have made a great many Improvements
about the lake front and upon the grounds.
A horse gate has been opened at tno cast
end of the bridge , through which all of the
carriages are admitted. This does away
with the drive through the soft sand that
covers the road , and furnlsncs n drive over
the elegant gravel road bed that runs along
the south shore of the lake. Last night ,
and for the first time , the grounds wcro
illuminated by tbo sixteen 2,000 candle
power lights , producing a pretty effect and
lighting up the beach until it had almost a
midday brightness.

WASHINGTON , Juli' , 1. The opinion hold by
a number of congressmen Is tli.it the extra

will not bo a lengthy ono and that flnanclnl
matters alone will engage its attention.
Prominent nmong this class is Congressman
Wheeler of Alabama.
"Tho president , " said Mr. Wheeler , " 1ms
called congress together by reason of the
gravity of the money question , and that
alone. The people nave tested the virtue of
the silver purchasing net and now they

numerous members of congress who believe
it would bo wise lor congress ns soon

giving the president authority to suspend

On the other hajjil , Representative Mc
Millan of Tennoss.tVvho is regarded as the

should begin at onoo the work which must
comc'beforo the next congress. He thinks
that it would bo much-preferablo to have a
continuous session jind.an , early adjournment
of congress , about May. If only a short
session , is held row tho' regular ses
sion , which moots' Ifi "Dccitnbsr , would be
long drawn out'and , tariff legislation
would go before the country at as late a day
as did ? he fticKintey and the Mills tariff

carefully legislated upon nnd the confidence
of the people restored , but In what way was
this thing to bo accomplished , Mr. McMillan
was unwilling tosay.

General A. J. Warner , president of the
Bimetallic league , today sent to the mem
bers of the oxccutivo committee a tele
graphic inquiry as to what date would suit
them for a convention , and suggested July
25 , and the place Chicago. All the reulies
were favorable , ana the matter was left In
General Warner's hands.
Although he has not finally decided It , ho
is of the opinion that the convention will beheld
held at the time and. place named. The
object of the gathering will bo to organize
so as to influence congress favorably in the
direction of silver and to light the repeal of
the Sherman act , if sueli repeal Is to be
made without offering some kind of a substi
tute.
In an interview 'today , Mr. Warner said
that when it was fijund that the last con
gress would not repeal tlio Sherman law , it
was given -out aa\ \ coming from the white
house that * ian jobjoct lesson would bo
afforded the people ; ! '

"Acting in the first instance under the in
fluence of foreign bankers nnd gold monomct-
ulllsts , " said Mr. Warner , "Wall street , and
the banks generally , CQtisplred to produce a
coalition which was attributed to the Sher
man law , with a view to creating a
public sentiment which would force
a repeal of the act. Tlio banks
aronow finding that the gun they loaded for
others kicks backward nnd that they them
selves are being punished by the conditions
they helped to create. The truth Is there
is no want of confidence In money itself , but
there is n fear least prices continue to go

ST. LiOUis. July L The Madison Car com
pany of Madison , 111. , filed articles of assign
ment In the recorder's olllco at Edwards-
vlllo , 111. , today. Paul A. Fusso Is the as
signee. The liabilities of the company uro
$ 'J18,000 ; assets , $1 , ,000.
When the now * .reached this city it
created great consternation among brokers ,
as all the parties Interested are
heavily concerned 111 'a number of
big local enterprises. The Madison Cur
works nro controlled by what is known as
the Granite Mountain people , who are also
behind the Merchants Bridge , Security
Building1 and a number of mining enter
prise * . Six months ago the company bonded
Itself for (500,000. This was used to pay
off all outstanding indebtedness and enlarge
the plant nnd was known to have left the
company witb plenty of working capital.
The works were running to their full ca
pacity , turning out between forty and titty
cars a day. TUo capital stock of the ten-
corn Is f.'iOOX)0. , ( )
Major C. 0. Rainwater , ono of the loarlng
members of the company , taid the company
I had been embarrassed by paper which they
had endorsed , nnd which was not paid nt
maturity. This paper was received by the
company In settlement of accounts for cars
supplied railroad companies nnd , of course ,
Its nonpayment might have been embarrass
ing In the present stringency.
In reply t o further Inquiry Major Kiln- ,
water snld that ho had no Idea how much of
this paper was In existence.
Ho was asked about the Str OOO protested
n few days ago and in which Post , Martin &
Co. figured nnd ho said that he had an Idea
that was only ono item , nnd that would
prove that rather moro than that amount of
paper had been thrown b.vck upon the com
pany , but ho really had no Idea how much ,
Ho concluded by saying that ho thought the
suspension would bo but temporary , the
company was doing a good business , had
plenty of orders on hand and ho would bo
greatly surprised , therefore , if the concern
should not bo able to resume at no very
distant day.
The Mndlson Car works Is located at the
town ot Madison , III. , a village of1,000 In
habitants , at the eastern end oT the Mer
chants' bridge. The concern Is one of the
largest 1V 1 of Its kind In the United States and
was built two years ago , and operated stnco
by a number of the same capitalists who
Invested in It a part of the wealth they no-
cruea from the famous Grantto Mountain
mine. They arc the same men who put up
1t
1c the money to build the Merchants bridge , nt
ono end of which the town stands. It was
their intention to make the town another
such place as Pullman , 111. , and the project
was meeting with much success.

WASHINGTON , July 1. Assistant Secretary
Sims of Mississippi , acting secretary of the
interior , when asked about tlio prospects for
the repeal of the Sherman act , said : "In
the south during the past six months there
has been quite a revolution in public senti

Tim Br.r. . ] The commission to revise the
revenue laws of the state , appointed by the
last legislature , completed its work and filed
its report today , Tlio changes proposed 1a 1l
the present Jaws nro not radical ? The
report Is based on the purpose to have all
property assessed at its real value , that Is at
HE cxchango value.
If the bill roportcd by the commissioners
passes nnd means what it says , it applies to
railroad property as well as to ail other prop
erty. The State Board of Kquallzutlon is to
bu enlarged on the years that real estate is
tibscssed by the addition of eleven members ,
to bo appointed by the judges of the district
court in the several districts of the state.
This will bo once in live years and not once
in two years as now. The board roK ] > rts
on a plan for ascertaining the true
value of the property assessed. The com
missioners have acted on the belief that the
equalities existing in the collection of taxes
will best bo done away with by fixing a
standard of levy , nnd bollovo the easiest
standard is the true merchantable value.
That is the predominant idea of the wholu
report , and tno words "real value" are de
clared to mean "exchange valuo. "
The duties of assessors ura made very
clear upon this'point. Then the assessors '
.aro made the township board of equaliza 'Si
tion. The purpose is to have the men who
made the various assessments como together
afterword and , by the comparison of their
work , one with another , determine whether
nv ono who complains has been unjustly
'
ted.
The County Board of Equalization remains .
as now , and hears appeals from local boards.
No such anneals go to the district court. i.t.

The real victory of the election has been
carried off by the nntl-Setuites , gaining six
teen seats and adding 800,000 voters to their
party. This success Is not exclusively of a
religious character. In Saxony the anti-
Semites wished to protest by their votes
