I1BHL1N , Feb. 21. The anarchist scare
which Is disturbing England and Franco
creates only the smallest Impression In
this country. Germany Is engrossed with Its
own difficult political matters , and the activ
ity of the police and the severity of tha
laws slnco the anarchist outrage at Frank
fort and elsewhere some ten years ago has
I made the few known anarchists become
moderato and harmless. Uven the usual
cry of "Destroy social democracy and an
archism Is destroyed" Is seldom heard- and
finds llttlo echo , the truth being that the
Btcrn discipline of the socialist party keep- ;
unarchlum In salutory check. International
action against anarchists , If It could bo
brought about , however , would bo generally
approved and welcomed.
The rumor , fostered by dispatches from
Vienna , saying that after the passing of
the IlusBo-German commercial treaty the
czar will pay a visit to Umperor William , Is
much discussed In political circles. The
press correspondent hears from n trust
worthy source that the matter has not been
broached by either ot the two courts or
either of the two governments.
M. A. J. do Notldoff , the Russian ambassa
dor to Turkey , stopped here this week on his
way to St. Petersburg , and the fact that he
had chosen the Berlin route Is commented
on as chow I UK the Improved relations ex
isting between Germany and Ilu.ssla slnco
the treaty was signed. Should the imperial
meeting bo decided upon later It will prob-
nbly occur upon the occasion ot the czar'a
return from his annual visit to Copenhagen
and while the emperor Is attending the cast
1'rusulan armv mnnocuvers.
It now appears that the statement widely
published to the effect that the emperor is
going to Abazzla Is Incorrect. The empress
is going there purely for the sake of the
health of her younger children , who are less
robust than the older children. The rumor
that tho-emprass-heraclf > ls lillfns"ls' un. "
founded. The emperor has chartered the
English shin Crcstabol , and will visit the
empress at Abazzla after the Russian treaty
lias passed the Reichstag.
WILL ACCKI'T THE TREATY.
It Is now estimated that the Husso-Gcr-
nian treaty will bo carried by n majority
of twenty-five , the bulk of the national lib
erals having decided to support tlio govern
ment or to abstain from voting.
Kmperor William privately has expressed
the greatest Indignation at the tone of the
speeches of the Agrarian league hero
Saturday last.
At a meeting of Iron and Steel Manufac
turers union It was stated Russia had
already placed largo orders for locomotives
and rails with German firms , and It was
added thcso orders would bo filled Imme
diately after tlio passage of the Russo-Gcr-
man commercial treaty. .
Count von Mlsbach has resigned from the
committee appointed to Inquire Into the sil
ver question , claiming a majority of the
members of this committee are staunch ad
herents of the gold standard aiTd that , there
fore , the Inquiry will have no useful re-
Btllt.
Btllt.Tho
The Cologne Gazette severely crltlc'p.es
Count von Mlsbach's statement and declares
that Instead ot the majority of the members
of the committee being staunch adherents
of the gold standard , on the contrary , eight
nro staunch bimetallism and that there are
only six thorough going gold men. Other
newspapers assert that Count von Mlsbach
resigned because he sees there Is no solution
of the question possible.
The committee has adjourned for a fort
night In order to study the many documents
which has been submitted to it that Is
likely to bring about a solution of the vexed
bllvcr question.
ITALY'S FINANCES.
The statement of Slg. X.onnlno , the
Italian minister of finance , which was sub
mitted to JJio Italian Chamber of Deputies ,
with the budget on February ? l , showing an
climated deficit of 177,000.000 lire 'about
$35,400,000) ) has mude a very bad Impinvjlon
here. U Is remarked tiiat no mlnlr.or Loloro
liad "tho courage to openly display tliu ilcplor-
nblo condition of Italian flnancis. yumo of
the newspapers think Slg. Zonnlno painted
the situation In darker colors than the citim-
tlon of Italy's finances actually justified , and
that ho did EO I'n order to rend-r the cham

eclicmo mercilessly and the Bocixen Cornier
says oven If Slg. Zonnlno's schema la ac
cepted It will prove nothing but a miserable
patchwork , striking a fresh and Eovero blow
nt Italian credit.
The plan of the Italian finance minister ,
which Ilnds so little favor bore , proposed
retrenchments amounting to 45,000,003 Hro
an > l demanded full powers for the reform
of Internal udmlnl/tratlvo affairs. The
budget proposed to raise 100,000,000 Hro by
fresh taxation. Increasing the land tax
17,000,000 lire , the tax on shares and stocks
by 52,000,000 lire , the succession duties by
4.000,000 lire , the duties on spirits by 3,600,000

AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
I'rof. Wactsoldt , German commissioner nt-
Inched to the educational bureau ot the
World's fair , has boon lecturing hero on the
American educational ystcni. While he
highly praises tlm efforts of the communi
ties , Churches and states to secure free ed
ucation for every child , ho deplores the ab
sence of legislation to compel children to
attend school , and ho also deplores what ho
clashes the low standing of the teachers In
public life. Ho also holds that the change
of teachers following a change of political
power prevents qtialt1cd ! men from selecting
that profession. According to the professor
ser , trio average term of a teacher Is only
five years , whllo ho asserts 33 per cent of
the children only attend school about ono
to four years. Thus , on the whole , the pro
fessor thinks the German system Is much
preferable.
After a soiree at the castle on Thursday
nmperor William presented Mme. Alhanl ,
who sang flvo songs , a miniature portrait of
himself set In rubles and diamonds and
mounted In a beautiful bracelet.
Emperor William was a guest last night
at the dinner given by the secretary of
state for the Interior , Von Boettlcher , and
remained until 1 o'clock in conversation
upon various subjects. The emperor ex
pressed the earnest desire to sec an Im
provement take place In the conditions of
the agricultural class. At the same tlmo
the emperor repeated that It was absolutely
necessary that the Russo-German treaty of
commerce should be adopted.
Kmperor William lias presented Chancellor
von Caprlvl a rummer , or drinking cup , and
two smaller cups made of green glass , The
rummer and the two cups wcro made espe
cially upon the emperor's order for presen
tation to the chancellor.
Emperor William this evening attended
tlio annual dinner of the Brandenburg Diet ,
The president ot the province , Dr. Achen-
bach , proposed the health of the emperor
amid a storm of "Ilochs. "
The kaiser In responding to the toast
referred to the intimate relations of the
Hohenzollerns with the Mark of Branden
burg , recalling all that the great elector
had done for the province. IIo mentioned
the episode In Dutch history connected
with the death of William of Orange and
recounted the services by William In 1861 ,
1868 and 1S70. The Brandenburg flag floats
over the Blue sea as a tribute to the great
elector.
President Mantcuffel ot the Diet thanked
the emperor for his gift and asked the
guests to testify their gratitude by another
cheer. This was done with great hearti
ness. .

PARIS , Feb. 24 , ( New York World Cable
Special to The Boo. ) Princess Chlmay ,
daughter of the late Captain Ward of De
troit , Mich. , gave a dinner Wednesday In
celebration of her 21st birthday , and inci
dentally of the partition of Captain Ward's
estate. Nine millions of property were
divided/between the widow , .tho princess and
young Ward , whoso exploits have made him
notorious. Shortly after her husband's
death Mrs. Ward offered his shares of stocks
and other Investments for $30,000 , but could
get no purchaser. Today they will realize
$0,000,000.
The princess has been the mingled wonder -
dor and despair ot American colonies In
Europe during the last flvo years. Exceed
ingly beautiful and piquantly unconven
tional , she Is the object of most varying
gossip. A year or two ago her marriage
with Prince Chlmay , who Is fourteen years
older than she , eclipsed her cccontrlc
gayety. Tlio prince Is a member of the
most ancient nobility of Franco and Bel
gium. At the tlmo of the death of Prlnco
Baldwin , heir to the Belgian throne , current
gossip associated a Chlmay with the mys
terious tragedy , resembling not a llttlo the
end of Crown Prlnco Rudolph. Baldwin
\\as \ an adored profligate and at the ago of
19 boasted to his cronies that ho would
capture the princess Chlmay , of whom he
became Insanely enamored on the first meet
ing. The Belgian press suppressed -the de
tails , but gossip had It that ho was shot
by Prlnco Chlmay In an audacious Inva
sion of the husband's domesticity. An
other Princess Chlmay married the disso
lute Duke Bouffrement , whoso recent death
revived the most sensational scandal of
the third empire.
Young Ward , the brother of the princess ,
not long ago eloped with his wife's maid and
settled In Paris. Ho figured In a notorious
scandal a year or two ago and underwent
conviction. When his wife brought suit for
divorce or separation ho throw a bundle of
papers on a table before her lawyer as a
balm to his Injured wlfo's feelings , and from
these papers she has since drawn un Income
of $16,000 a year.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 21. The bitter com

Hrltlsh Steamship Nusmyth after the Drlt'sh
naval commander at Hlo had rcfjiseil to un-
ilertako the task are believed hero to bo
based upon an erroneous conception of the
facts. It Is not believed that Admiral Ben-
liam has done tills , but If ho has It ! n felt
that there nro circumstances which , when
known , will entirely justify his course.It
Is said It would have been an act of ques
tionable propriety if It had been done against
the wishes of the British admiral. Hereto
fore the British and American forces have
worked In perfect harmony In South Ameri
can waters and have never failed to protect
a merchantman of either nation when a war
ship of Its own nation was at hand. In the
the Pacific squadrons this practice has gone
to the length of an agreement by which the
two squadrons take turns In guarding Amer
ican and British Interests at the different
posts. Hut the rule has been to abstain
from Interference when a warship of the na
tionality of the merchant vessel affected la
in port. It does not appear , ox-en If Admiral
Benham has broken this practice , that ho
has given the British government any ground
from n formal protest. If he has assume 1
any undue responsibility it is toward the
Brazilian government , which authorized him
to protect American Interests , and oven If
the Insurgents had resisted his attempt to
relieve the Nasmyth and his bearing upon
the convoyliiG vessel had led to a hostile
demonstration the result might have been
to seriously entangle the United States In
an International Olillculty. Up to this time
the official advices received at the State and
Navy departments fail to mention the inci
dent , and therefore the conclusion Is drawn
that It has no importance.

RIO DH JANEIRO , Feb. 24. The destruc

which was sunk by the fire of the guns of
the government battery at Ponte Madame , Is
said to have resulted In considerable loss of
life to the rshels. The shots which caused
the vessel's destruction penetrated her boiler ,
which burst and killed n number of the In

many of the Injured nro said to have been
burned to death , as the transport was burnIng -
Ing fiercely when she sank. There was con

Telegraph communication with Bahia has

According to the most generally credited re

WASHINGTON , Feb. 24. Senator Ouzo-

the following effect from tlio minister of
foreign affairs of Nicaragua :
The capital of Honduras ( Tegucigalpa )
was captured last night. Publish thU
telegram. Our victory puts an end to
the war In Honduras.
"So , " said the minister smilingly , "Nica
ragua cumo out victorious. "
This message contained all the Informa
tion known hero concerning the very latest
developments In Honduran affairs. It Is bo-
llevod hero that the army of Nicaragua
will now withdraw from the toll of Hon
duras after the provisional government ,
which Bonllla and Ills Hamluran associates
"will establish , la flrmly entrenched In
power and able to put down any disorders
time might nrlsc. " It Is not positively
known , of course , but It Is still regarded
as practically certain thai the new presi
dent of Nicaragua will bo Uonllla , the leader
of the Honduran opposition to Vasqucz , the
ousted president. This will bo natural ,
now that the Insurgents are victorious.
Vnsqucz , It Is supposed , will leave the coun
try and Nicaragua will permit the pcoplo
of Honduras to settle affairs In their own
way.
way.Pollcarpo Bonllln has achieved fame as
a revolutionist outside of his country by
avoiding arrest and his entanglement In
u diplomatic Incident , last September. For
the past two years ho has been known as a
leader In revolutionist movements In Hon
duras , but last summer ho was compelled
to fly from the country for' safety. Ho
went Into Nicaragua , and complying with
the easy requirements of the country , by
taking up his residence there , ho was de
clared to bo n citizen and was elected a
member of the Nicaragua ! ! congress. In
this position ho was sllll engaged In help
ing along the revolutionary movement In
Honduras , and while a passenger on the
Costa Rica , flying the United States flag ,
the Honduran ofllccrs sought to arrest him
as the ship touched at one of their ports.
The captain of the vessel , however , refused
to surrender his passenger and ran away
from the port under flro from the officers-
several shots being discharged after the
ship. For this attack upu the American
flag the Honduran government offered an
apology , which was accepted by the
United States government. So Bonllla es
caped , and seizing the first importunity ho
gathered a revolution iiarty which at last
succeded In overthrowing Vasquez's govern

Ecuador has accepted Puru's proposal for the
arrangement of the boundary question. This
averts the threatened war. The boundary
dispute originated early In the century
and has already boon the occasion of
ono war , which was about 1823 , a couple
of years or so nftcr the country
was freed from Spanish rule. Under the
Spanish rule the territory comprised in
Peru , Ecuador , Coomblaud ! part of Bolivia ,
constituted one province , , governed by a
viceroy. About 1752 ( ho king divided It ,
making the river Mnranpn the dividing line
between the north and south province , the
former being governed from Bogota and the
latter from Lima. Nlnp or ten years later
the king Issued a decrea changing the line
and bringing the boundary , of the Peruvian
province nearly up to- Quito , the present
capital of Ecuador. Before the decree could
bo put Into effect , hoyfeVer. the wars for

BRADFORD , Mass. , Feb. 21.-Special (
Telegram to The Bee. ) This sleepy town has
a sensation. Hero Is located tl.c famous
Bradford Academy for Young Women , than
which no convent Is more strict In Its ob
servance of the proprieties and dHclpllie.
Three of the young women lu/c been gi\cn
until Monday to pack their trunks and leave
the place and fourteen others are under
suspension , and will not bo BOSH In the
recitation rooms for three weeks to come.
It all came about In this way :
The Tuffts College Glee club of Tuffts
college In Me.lford Wednesday evening
visited Haverhlll , just across the
Merlmac river and sang In the
city hall. After the entertainment the
boys were the guests of some of the younger
members of the fashionable Pentuckel club
of Haverhlll , who suggested the trip across
the big suspension bridge to serenade the
seminary girls. About twenty young men
went across the river soon after midnight ,
and the pretty clrls In the academy were
awakened from their slumbers by the mel
odious sounds which came from the throats
of the ten young collegians from Medford ,
ranged in a line on the broad campus of the
academy.
It wa % evident that some of the girls had
expected the young men , for in less than
flvo minutes seventeen of the young women
had gathered In the rooms of a Chicago girl
and crowded to the windows to sco and ap
plaud.
IT TICKLED THE GIRLS.
It Is not known Just what effect ten male
voices may have on seventeen young women ,
but certain It Is that these young women
not only did not keep curtains between
themselves and the windows , but they had
all neglected to remember that they were in

kicking and skirt dancing , all for the espe

lined up on the campus and the dozen erse

foliage a llttlo way off. This dancing
and kicking continued for perhaps fif
teen or twenty minutes , when
the clrls discovered that a tutor
was ono of their number. There was a
hasty stampede for the respective rooms of
the young women. But as they opened the
door to flee they wore met by Miss Ida Allan ,
the principal of the academy , who detained
them long enough to take their names.

There was no more sleep In the building

told to go home and blay at least three
weeks.
Last year the Harvard Glco club sang In

loosed about a half dozen hungry bull dogs.
The Harvard Glee club did not go to Brad

CHICAGO , Feb. 21. Judge DrenUno to
day overruled the motion for a new trial
for l'remleriast and ncntenced the assassin
to bo hanged on March 23.
I'rpndorKast had 'untcroJ the court In
charge of n bailiff. Ho had been shaved
early In the inornlnc and his hair was
carefully combed. The assassin was as
signed to a chair In the place ho occupied
during the trial. Ho 'soon became restless
and moved In his chair uneasily. Ills face
was palo and his eyes rolled around un
ceasingly. An the court addressed I'ren-
dorgast and asked him If ho had any rea
son to glvo why Fentcuco should not bo
passed upon him I'li'lulorgast arouo to his
feet , nervously druw a small sheet of
paper , covered with notes , from his pocket
and addressed the court as follows :
I'iN'DKROAST'S Sl'KHCII
"I don't suppose , your honor , that It wilt
do mo any good to say anything to tlio
court now. I have made no preparations
to say anything In particular. I suppose
your honor Is under the impression that
you have done your duty. But this plea
of Insanity has been set up by my attorneys
without my consent. It was Infamous , a
dirty and a disreputable plea and done
against my objections.
"Now , as for Judge Murray , It Is certain
to mv mind from the manner in which ho
answered questions to bo a Juror In this
case there was something wrong. Also in
regard to summoning the vciilrcmcn. Juror
Lnrkln came here on a written statement ,
but of course the defendant had no control
over this part of the court's work. The
Evening News contained a whole column
about it at the time and It Is not necessary'
for me to go Into it further now , Wo had
no opportunity to watch the proceedings In
summoning the Juiors. "
. "But this Is not the question. At the
very beginning ot this trial tlio court-tola
mo my attorneys would attend 'to my case.
Nevertheless they did not. As stated , your
honor , before , they set up this Infamous
plea of Insanity against my will. But , your
honor , the Issue Is : Did I do right or did 1
do wrong ? Did I do my duty or did I not ?
Did I do the will of God or did I not ? This
point has never been touched upon and I
say It Is the only issue before tha court.
"Of course , If I did wrohg I should bo con
demned. But , your honor. If I did right I
should bo justified and acquitted.
"An for this talk about the Dacey or the
Gultcau case , the court all along ruled that
no reference should bo made to It , but the
attorneys for the defendant continued It
tlnoinh ; the trial.
"As far as these doctors are concerned ,
they came to mo without my consent anil
without my Invitation , and I did not wrlto
them or glvo my consent for them to como
and find out whether I was Insane or not.
No doubt the motives of these men wcro
hiimano , but It was through the connivance *
of Jailer Morris that they got Into that jail.
"Now your honor and everybody says that
Harrison was a great and good man. I
deny this. A good man Is generally faith
ful to his friends and Harrison was not.
If ho had been a good man ho would not
have been hostile toward mo.
"But this newspaper trust , your honor.
Wo have been attacked by this newspaper
court and If the sentence Is carried out you
will all bo at the hands of this newspaper
trust. No man's character or reputation
will bo safe. I don't know what will bo tha
result.
"Hvon v.'hllo I was In your county Jail , I
was thrcatenod with death. This man Mor
ris , the jailer , there said to mo : 'I'll kill
you before you leave this jail , no matter
what the court ; rtid the balllffo do with you. '
The sheriff of this county is a republican ,
while my principles nro democratic , and that
Is why Ibis Is.
"But the Issue , your Issue , Is whether
or not I did wrong. If this court wanta
to shirk the responsibility In this cnso It
will not bo my fault. The most of the mo
tions made by thu attorneys for mo hnvo
been overruled by the court , and that \vaa
wrong.
"Then there Is this great grade crossing
Issuo. If your honor consents to my death ,
to my murder , you alto consent to take the
liven of these people on the Infiimuim grade
crossings. That Is what caused mo to shoot
Harrison , although I had stood by him In
times of distress.
"I am feeling much better now , your
honor. My health Is much better than
when' I flrht went to Jull. The food they
gave mo there shoo ) ; mo up physically and
mentally.
"In this case I have been charged with
being vainglorious and n notoriety seeker.
This Is not true and It has been dlhprovcn
In this trial. Christ was not a vainglorious
man , neither am I. The temptations that
were offered Christ on the mount showed
that ho was not vnlnglorlmm and anyone
that has wlttmtood such temptations as I
have In certainly not vainglorious.
"I vupposo those doctors really wanted to
know whether I was cano or not. They
think they have dona good , but nn I go to
the scaffold , they will bo made Infamous
throughout all ur.es. It was the most Infamous -
famous thine In history to kill Christ on
the croMH , and It will bo as Infamous to hang-
mo. 1 think tlioso doctors acted In rather a
modloBomo way , romlni : to sco mo without
being Invited and without my consent. They
had batter have attended to their own bual-
notiB , for they had no c.uiso to como to sea
mo.
"But , your honor , thin Is not tlio IBSUO.
The Uano Is did 1 do , or did I not do wrong ?
This U the IBHUO for the court to delnnlnu , "
