VIENNA , Peb. 25. After an absence ot
nearly two years spent In exploring north
east Africa Lieutenant Ludvvlg Rutter von
Hochncl of the Austrian navy lias returned
to Vienna and now resides within sight
of the big admiralty building In the Maxnln
Halmo platOn arriving last week nt
Flnne he was mot by Ills old companion ,
Explorer Count Telckl , who accompanied
him to Buda Pcsth , where the still open
wound caused him terrible suffering and
was Immediately operated upon by Prof.
Lumnltzer and great relief given. Lieuten
ant von Hochncl Is now rapidly recovering
his usual health. Ho Is a Hungarian , born
nt Prebsburg In 1857.
Ho was educated at the naval academy
In Plume. Ho Joined his first ship as mld-
Hhlpman In 1S7G , but ns Ills great desire to
travel only found Its partial relief in cruising
about the Mediterranean he gladly accepted
Count Tclekl's Invitation to accompiny his
expedition In 188G which , after two years ex
ploring , resulted In the discovery of Likes
Rudolph and Stephanie In Afilca. . Lieuten
ant von Hoehnel Is n tall , stalwart built
officer , with determination stamped In every
feature. His physlciuo Is hardened down to
whipcord toughnebs through the excessive
hardships of African travel , and Ills face is
tanned brown. He speaks the English lan-
gnago with remarkable fluency and a faint
American accent. He possesses a charming
fiankiiPbs of manner which causes strangers
In his companny to be as much at cabc as ho
Is himself , and does not seek to conceil Ills
pleasure witli English speaking visitors.
"Yon wish me to tell about the Chanlci
expedition ? " remarked the explorer , sitting
with his charts and diagrams ly ing all about
him. "Well , wo had desperate 111 luck. It
followed us every where , and during the time
I was with Mr. Chanler rendered nil our
best efforts fruitless. But let mo btart at
the beginning of my narrative. I made Mr.
Clianler's acquaintance by means of a
letter -written to mo from the base
of Kilimanjaro In 1811. The same
year I met Chanler In Vienna , when ho
told me of his intention to explore the Bor-
nna country lying eastward of Lake Rudolph ,
The district lie believed to bo fertile and
Interesting. I expressed my great willing
ness to accompany him. We discussed the
plans of the routes and determined to land
nt Lamu on the Zanzibar coast , sail up the
Tana rlvor to BoratI once called Hargaro
and then strike northward through the
Mount Kenla district to Rudolph lake. ,
After thoroughly exploring Iho Borana conn-
try In that neighborhood , wo Avcro to march
directly across to Berbera on the Gulf of
Aden.
MISFORTUNE ON ALL SIDES.
"It success secnicdto favor our expedition
It was soon reversed. Wo stalled from Lamu
on September 10 , 1892 , with 185 men In good
health and in the best of spirits. George
Galvln , Mi. Clianlor's serve.nt , also accom
panied us and ve were thoroughly organ
ised , thanks to young Chnnlor'a marvelous
admlnistrat'on. Wo had cattle , donkeys and
camels and ten canoes laden with food were
accompanying our caravan. The Tnnta ronto
to BoratI is a very bad one. The banks aio
lined with thick Jungle and our progress
was dieadfully slow. November 2fl hail ar
rived when wo icached Boiatl , all well ,
"Then came our 111 luck. Our beasts of
burden began to die ns If stricken with n
post. This was a serious plight for us. Wo
formed n btoro camp hero Inside the de-
Berted palisade erected some time prev
iously by the Brltibh East African
company. Our caravan hail como to
n dead halt from loss of trans
ports. Chanler and myself determined to
proceed northward to the GuarronJIro river ,
whoso source and outlet I had dlscoveicd
In the Telokl expedition. I know tlio
Hcndlll , a nnmndlc tribe , possessing camels
and donkeys In laigo niimbets , lived near
this river on the northern side. George
Galvln went to the coast on a similar expe
dition. Now , from the dcpartmo on Septem
ber , 1893 , to the day the rhtnoceios charged
nt mo , August 2 , 1893 , wo had explored with
out success the entire dlstilct for transport
bcabts.
ALL CATTLE KILLED.
"Four years ago n cattle plague swept
over the whole of northeast Africa , and , 1

LONDON , Fob 25 Further details of the
disaster of thu British force In Its encounter
with tlio slave dealers on the west coast of
Africa have been received here from Ilatli-
urjt. The British troops numbered 220 men
They had destroyed the strongholds of Kcn-
bujh and Mandlna and were reluming1 to
Kembujh creek for the purpose of re-em
barking when they wcro ambushed near the
mouth of the creek There had been no
sign of an enemy and the attack was most
sudden and unexpected The British had
entered Into n perfect trap and were sur
rounded on every bide. A fusllado poured
upon them from all directions.
In spite of the suddenness of the onslaught
and the terrible flic to which they were sub
jected , the sailors , encouraged by the heroic
efforts of their officers , tried to make a
stand. The attempt was iibeless , as the
enemy maintained their well directed volleys.
The peril of the British vas extreme. To re
main there meant the total destination of
the force. Amidst a hall storm of
bullets and with their officers and
comrades falling dead , dying nnd
wounded nil about them , they were com
pelled to retreat. So great was their danger
and so ferocious the attack of the enemy
that the British were unable to rescue the
bodies of Llentomnt of Marines P. W. Hcrvey
and eight others who had been killed.
It was only with the greatest d.fiicnlty that
they were able to save the wounded. In their
retreat ( hey were forced to abandon their
field pieces and 6,000 cartildges , all of which
fell Into the hands of the enemy.
On the arrival of the news at Bathurst
the war vessels Aviso and Alecto weie dis
patched to the scene of the dlsastei nnd at
tempted to land a paity at Conjor. The
enemy , however , were prepared foi their ar
rival , nnd as soon as the attempt to land
was made opened up a heavy lire , which
compelled the party to retire. The Alecto
thereupon returned to Bathurst foi icln-
forcemcnts Three hundred men of a .West
India regiment are expected at Bathuist ,
and the expedition against the skive dealers
will bo resumed Immediately upon the ar
rival of tt.eso soldiers.

HASTINGS , Feb. 25 ( Special to The

treasury trouble was filed in the ofllce of the
clerk of the district court yesteiday In the
shape of a petition of James L. Britton

the defendant's term of olllce the plaintiff
sent for leclcmptlon or tax : deeds certain
tax sale certificates to the value of $828.71.
It Is alleged that the redemption money for
these certlilcats was paid Into the county
treasury and redemption certificates issued ,
but that the money was never received by
Britton. Ho sued the county for the money
nt the last term ot couit , hut the case was
decided in favor of the county. An appeal
to the supreme court was taken. This suit
Is directed against the bondsmen.
'Iho supieme couit has sustained a motion

WASHINGTON' BUREAU OP THE BEE ,

WASHINGTON , Feb 25.
Representative Jerry Simpson of Kansas Is
out In an Interview advocating the nomina
tion of Senator William V. Allen of Nebraska
for tlio presidency In 1800 by the populists.
He nays Allen Is the only man In thu popu
list ranks who comes fully up to the measurej
that Senator I'cffer of Kansas I a good anil
able man , but too timid Ho regards Senator
Allen as the brainiest , nerviest man In all
the populist party. In his estimate bo
\olces the sentiments of not only the other
populists In congress , but the el-headed
republicans and democrats here.
Mr Simpson bays the populists expect to
make Immense gains In congress at the elec
tion In No\ember , galtu pilnclpally from the
democratic column , jet he does not explain
why voters will leave the democratic or re
publican party to .join the populists , when
the latter are every day In congress sup
porting the southern democrats In their
partisan legislation , and the hnrd times ,
which are to cause the change In votes ,
are duo to democratic Incompetcncy
and destruction , and It Is admitted upon
every turn that none of the commercial
evils and labor distress existed when the
republicans were In powei
Scnvtor Kyle , the well knov.n South Da-
Kola populist , has announced himself In
favor of the position heretofoie stated by
Senators Allen and Pcffcr In lice special

In favor of the present sugar bounty. Sen
ator Kjle sajs. "There are some things in
the Wilson bill tli.it do not commend them
selves to me. The east , I think , so far , is
better olT than the west. As to the Income
tax , I nin heartily in fa\or of that , but I
am in doubt as to sugar. It teems to me
that the government has cnteied Into at
least a moral contract with the sugar people ,
and , this being true , 1 should prefer to see n
course taken that would enable the sugar
people to save themselves from loss Oui
sugar Industry must be developed and to
develop it the govcinment must help It ,
but upon the general proposition of tarllf
leform I heartily favor that. I am a low-
tariff man and shall so vote at every oppor
tunity. "
DEMOCRATS AGAINST THE HILL.
Chairman Voorhees and his demociatlc
associates ! on the finance committee lm\e
been active all day. They are laboring to
make their meeting tomorrow morning at
the hour the democratic caucus convenes
for tariff consideration fruitful of results
which will piehcno their committee. Influ
ences. They hope to so place certain ar
ticles In the bill as to make caucus In-
structlon to the committee unnecesbaiy.
While tijlng to save Uie bill from ultimate
defeat , they want to preserve the prestige
of the finance committee. There is jet
sufliclenl demociatlc opposllion to the tariff
bill to defeat It In Its present form and
jet , knowing this , it is said by
Chairman Voorhees that It will not be ma
terially modified. The strength of the ob
jectors to the free list of the Wilson bill Is
fixed at twelve democratic senators , far moie
than Hutllclent to obstruct indefinitely the
passage of the bill until their demands .ire
granted. These twelve senators are Gorman -
man and Gibbon of Maryland , Faulkner and
Camden of West Virginia , Hunter and Dan-
Icl of Virginia , I'ugh and Morgan of Ala
bama , Gallery of Louisiana , Hill and Murphy -
phy of New York and Brlco of Ohio. The
latter denounces the entire bill as "a south-
em mcabiire , made by brigadiers. " In ad
dition to these twelve , the protection demo ,
rrats count on the bonator whom Governor
Foster of Louisiana will appoint to succeed
Justice White ; on Smith of New Jersey , and
possibly Senators Ransom of North Carolina ,
and llutler of South Caiolina. This combin
ation , while considerably less than a major-
Itj of the democratic benators , and tlicrefoio
easy to beoted down In tht caucus , was
yet BO strong as to force the administration
benators to make a counter demotiHtiation
The necessity for such a step was all the
more apparent when thn protection senators
frank ! ) avowed that if out-voted in the
CRUCUS they would still keep up thnlr oppo
sition until their demands mot proper con
sideration , oven If they had to vote against
the bill on final passage
SOME CHANGES MADE.
Senatoi Vooihces , finding the minority so
btubbborn that nothing could bo gained by
nny attempt at conciliation , issued a call
for a special meeting of the finance commit
tee on the same day , and at the name hour
as the caucus. The administration and untl-
ndmlnlstratlon lines being thus sharply de
fined , the subcommittee , consisting of Jones ,
Vest and Mills , have held a final meting
at which It agreed upon a report to the full
committee , which will embody the rates
of duty on conl and sugar which they be-
llovo they can afford to grant. These
rates are not final , but suggestive.
Sugar , as has been lepc'atedly stated , Is
given a protective duty of 1 cent a pound
for raw and refined and wh'tky Is taxed $1
a gallon , the same as in the house bill , with
no extension of the bonded period , w lilch Is
a knock down foi Voorhees. On coal they
will expicss a willingness to giant a dutj of
30 01 even 12 cents per ton , but Mi. Gorman
Insists on 00 cents No duty whatever will
bo lecommended for lion oie. While a third
draft of the bill was presented jebterday ,
It Is not at all Improbable that penciled
changes may bo made ut the suggestion of
Chnli man Vooil.ecs foi the purpose of se
curing a united democratic \oto In the com
mittee 'Ihls , it is believed by the adminis
tration managers , will weaken the effect of
whatever agieement may bo reached In the
caucus.
UNION I'ACiriC REORGANIZATION.
There will bo another meeting of the ben-
ate commuted on Pacific railroads thin week
to consider the plans proposed for the re
organization of the I'nlon Pacific Uallroad
company. Mo'nbers of the committee appeal
to legard the proposition of the Holland
bondholders with a good deal of favor. This
proposition Is , In n word , to lednco the entlio
first mortgage Indebtedness on the main
line and all of Its brunches to
$75,000,000 , or $10,000 per mile , and
glvo the government a second mort-
page for all of Its Indebtedness ,
principal anil Interest , over thu entlio sys
tem , aggregating about 7,000 miles of road
This would place thu reorganized system
under an Indebtedness of only about JJO.OOO
per mile , which expert railroad men say
would be easily carried , and the Union Pa
cific would become a dividend paying system
almost Immediately , and at the same time
be nlilo to provide a sinking fund to wipe
out the government Indebtedness at matur
ity. The mortgage to cover the Indebtedness
to the government Is to run 100 years and
pay 3 per cent Interest.
MORION AND THE GRANGERS.

National Grange , is hero looking ofter'tho

WASHINGTON , Feb. 25. The senate lias
made but little progress during the past two
necks In Its efforts to clean up the calendar
In advance of the forthcoming discussion of
the tariff bill In the senate. If the oppor
tunity Is afforded It will continue Its work
on the calendar during the present week.
There are so many ftptclal bills , however ,
some of which have been brought over from
previous weeks that tt Is probable com
paratively little progress will bo made this
week. It Is 1'loly that at least two das
will bo necessary to dispose of the bill to
provide a new government printing office
building and another day to pass the bill
for the rearrangement of the Plot Ida Judicial
districts. The Hawaiian resolution Intro
duced by Senator Turple and the Stovvnit
bond resolution are also undisposed of , the
pending motion on the Litter being to refer
to the committee on finance , which will prob
ably to be done with but llttlo If any more
spccchmaklng
The speech on Hawaiian affairs of which
Senator Tnrplo lias given notice Is ns jet
undelivered , but It Is understood that he
will make an effort to get the floor during
the present week. It Is also possible that
the report of the committee on foreign rela
tions , to he made on Monday , concerning
the diplomatic relation ? between the United
States and Hawaii will cause moro or less
debate , and even though the tailff bill should
not get Into the senate during the week
there need bo no surprise If there should be
mote or lobs reference in the senate to that
subject. It bids fair to bo a busy week and
ono of varied Interest.
It Is the Intention of the senate finance
committee to report the tariff bill , unless
the republicans offer strenuous objections.
Following this It Is expected that Senator
Voorhees will give notlco that the bill will
come up the following Monday and ask that
It be kept before the senate until disposed
of. It In part of the Jirogram that the bill
shall be taken up ever ) moinlng Immedi
ately after convening and kept before the
senate to the exclusion of everything else
It is Intimated that if there is any disposi
tion manifested to prolong the debate a
move will be made for extra long sessions.
The democratic subcommittee will con
sider Uie bill for a bhort time tomonovv
morning before the full committee meets.
The bill which was sent to the pi Inter last
night will be changed in some paiticulars
before it Is finally submitted. As It now
stands there are thiee propositions which
have not been wholly nfireod upon and what
ever Is done will necessitate corrections
But as showing how near complete the bill
Is , ono number of the committee said tonight
that he biw no i casein why It should not be
reported totnonovIV" thought that no
prepared report would' bo m.ulo on the
bill by the committee , the bill Itself standIng -
Ing for a report. The democrats will offer
to allow the republicans a week In which
to submit theli views , either in the form
of a bill or a report. \ It Is not believed
the republicans will cdnsent to n report
on the bill tomorrow ajid this may inter
fere with the program ahd delay the leport.
The democratic membeis of the committee
do not attempt to concjjal the feeling they
have .that the cauctia called Tor tomorrow
morning at the sarnn jUme the committee
meets Is antagonistic tolthg bill. It Is said
that not many memberapf ; the finance com
mittee will attend the CAUCUS.

WASHINGTON , Feb. 25 The call for a
caucus of democrats to agree upon a rule for
recording members piescnt , but not voting ,
In order to make up a quorum , Is growing In
favor. The call now bears the names of 122
democrats. Members bay this matter must
bo sett'ed ' as soon as the Bland bill Is dis
posed of. Representative Payntcr of Ken.
tncky , who started the call , has drawn up a
new rule which , ho thinks , overcomes the
objections of many members to his draft ot
a rule for recording thbso present and not
voting without lining them. This Incorpor
ates a now principle , lliat the affirmative
votcb on n call must be a majority of those
officially recorded , both as voting and as
present and not voting , In order that the
vote shall bo a legal ono to decide the pend
ing question. The rule' ' Is ;
"But should a quorum fall to appear , and
should a point of no quorum bo made theie
shall be n call of the house and the nays and

LINCOLN'S ' CRUSADE OPENS

Warfare Against Social Sin.
HIS APPEAL TO MEN TO BE PURE IN LIFE
8llrrliiR Word * of Scorn for the Scdncor
hy n Mhl Picture
of n Scarlrt Woman's
Awful lleuth.
LINCOLN. Feb 23 ( Special Telegram to
The Bee. ) It needed but the bare announce
ment that Rov. Byron Heals would preach
tills evening to men only to pack the Third
Presbyterian church to the doors. Dr. Deals
Is not a sensational preacher In any sense
of the woid. If the crovul of men and bos
who sat before him tonight went to church
wVh the Idea that they wcro to be enter
tained by n sermon bordering upon the racy
and sensational they went away disap
pointed.
Dr. Beils Is one of Lincoln's best known
pastors. He js a vigorous prcachei , n strong
word painter and has a most Impressive
personality. Ho has the Htiong , nigged and
jet refined face that characterized the hte
Philip Brooks Ho opened his serv'co by
announcing several hmns. which his mabcu-
llno auditors sang with Indifferent success
ns far as lythmc and melody were con
cerned. Then he read the seventh chapter
of Provei bs.
Ho commenced his addicss by 'saying that
few things , If any , have caused more sorrow
and mysteiy and death to the body and soul
than sins against chastity Like great
rlveis , deep and dark , sweeping on adown
the centurli s , comes tills mighty torrent
of Iniquity , bearing upon Its rushing tide
the white , upturned faces of men and
women that are being berne rapidly out
Into the set of eternity out nwny from hope ,
from purity , from God. Some of the noblest
men and women the world has known have
made shipwrecks upon this rock of unchas-
tlty and have gone down to hell.
"It Is notorious that sins of the kind 1
have mentioned arc common In almost every
community of the land , " bald the preacher.
"I have never been to nny place as a min
ister but I have seen families bioken up by
\llllans who feared neither God nor man.
On two occasions leading officers In the
church of which I was pastoi were the guilty
ones , In each case doing vast haim to the
cause of mnrallty and religion. It Is because
these sins are too common and arc damning
the bodies and souls of men that I speak
oat tonight. Some voice ought to be lifted
to warn men of the Niagara over which they
are plunging "
SCORCHED THE SEDUCER.
Dr. Deal then stated that his general
subject would bo perconul and social purity ,
and that he would divide his sermon Into
six general heads or divisions. Pabslng
rapidly over the first division , in which
he spoke In plain words of the sin of self-
pollution , lie passed to the second division ,
In which he held up to the scorn of the
world the seducer.
Every woman , In her weakness , he said ,
whether fallen or puic , appeals to man as
her protector. The man who will take ad
vantage of this confidence to push these
confiding onea over the precipice down upon
the rocks of shame and death deseives
himself to dje.
"Perhaps there -Is one here , " said the
speaker , tinning upon his auditors , "who has
seduced some woman. What have you done ?
You have acted the part of the great leader
of hell. You have dragged down an angel
from her throne of virtue , committed botil-
murder. Blood , blood , boul-blood Is upon
your conscience. It stains all your garments.
It Is upon your habitation. It cries up to
heaven against you , 'vengeance , vengeance. '
You have not only done all you can to damn
the sou ! of an Immortal being , but yon have
committed a suicidal net upon your own un
dying spirit. You have done what yon can
to sink your own soul Into darkest , deepebt ,
hottest hell , where , If there bo a hotter fire ,
a keener pang , a deeper gulf , they will bo
yours. Man , glvo up that woman , and turn
your feet again to vlilue's path or you are
lost forever. "
In treating of his fourth division Dr. Beals
spoke upon the ptevalenco and the hoirors
of prostitution. It was under this division
of his subject that the preacher drew some
of his stiongest plctuies.
DEATH OP THE SCARLET WOMAN.
"Come with me , young man , to yonder
hospital , whoie numberb of these fallen
women arc taken to die. Enter that ward.
Look upon the pale and bloated w recks
of humanity that llo around. Keep the windows
dews open , or soon the loathsome odois
of disease and death will sicken and compel
jou to withdraw. Observe that labored and
fetid bieath ; mark these fcatuies once fair
and beautiful , now half fiend , half pain
and mlseiy racked with the last deep cough.
The harlot nppioacheb the awful realities
of another world. There Is no hope In her
death. Corrupted , hardened and Intemperate ,
the cnithly has already passed Into the
sensual and the sensual Is rapidly giving
place to the dovlllsh. Her accumulated tn-
imiltlcs , like a huge millstone , lie on the
brink of the great gulf ready foi the supreme
moment when the nnblcsbcd dplrlt passes to
the Judgment and leaves the bhattercd
temple In which It dwelt In dishonor. Mark
It well. The vital spark has fled , and the
diseased body stiffens Into the ghastly palloi
and ilgldnesa of death.
"No mother Is present to nlicd n tear of
lovo. no sister to smooth the hair Into final
folds. 'TIs best It should be bo. Tell not her
name , nor speak ot relatives. Homo and all
these have long slnca been dead to the
woman who lies before ns Sec. The rough
collln Is berne Into thu ward Gently the
sheet is llttod , and now the human clay has
found Ha bed Hurry It away , bury It deep
lest the coriuptlon spread.
"What pait did you have In bringing this
once pure ghl to this awful death ? "
The balance of the dlbeourso treated of
marital excesses , which the speaker charnc-
teiUed as licensed prostitution , adultery and
Infanticide He handle ) all these subjects
without gloves Ho did not avoid the con
ventionalities of the pulpit or the lectmo
platform , but called pp.ules spades. Con
trary to general expectations the preacher
refrained from wholesale denunciations of
tlio authorities , lit ) did not Insist that the
city of Lincoln bhould shirk Ha responsibili
ties by dilvlng out the fallen women Ho
called for no public exhibition of nsbiimrd
morality , lint went at the heart of thu
evils Ho preached of and appealed to the
conscience. The address was listened to
with marked attention and Dr. Beals won
warmly congratulated by scores upon Its
conclusion , _

ST. PAl'L , Peb 25 Archbishop Ireland
pre.ichod today in tlio Cathedral ot St. Paul
on the "Catholic Cause In America. " Ho
said the church had now all the rights and
privileges which slio desired. The common
liberty of tlio country was hers , and that
was nil siiiricleiit. The gio.it mass of people
of America , ho added , were loyal to
the letter and spirit of the con
stitution and allowed tlio rights of
Catholics Those who refused them their
rights were few and they would not be
heeded Some Catholics do harm to Cath
olicism by their Imprudent methods of de
fending It The opposition of an cxlbtlng
nntl-Catliollc party would * dlo out If It
were not noticed "
Catholic papets , In crying out so loudly
against It , gives to It Importance before the
country It looks ns If the Catholics were
glad to have a fight on tliolr hands Politics
have much to do , not lobs with the defense
titan will ) attacks , and n supreme effort must
bo m.ido by all devoted Catholics to keep the
church from entangling alliances with any
political party. Catholics Individually are
most free In their political alliances , but
they must not drag Hie church with them to
their political paitlcs
No ono party in the party owns
or can lay claim to alliance
with the church and It would
bo a great misfortune for the church were
she the ally of-ono special party. Cath
olics belong to all parties and It Is well that
this is tlio case. When American citizens
vote thc'ir basis of decision must be not
the religion of the candidate , but his citizen
ship and his personal fltnc"'s for ofllce. To
put In olllco a man because ho Is Piotcstant
01 to put a man In olllce because he Is a
Catholic Is wrong. The constitution , which
gives the suffrage , does not conblder a man's
religion , but n man's honesty and ability.
The archbishop deprec.ited the tone of
some Catholic papeis. Ho thought the people
ple should all rejoice when a good man
receives honor. Protestants and Catholics
must all become thorough Americans In
their politics , and their civil iclatlons with
ono another , and then there will be no
religious discord In the land. There Is no
opposition in America to the political and
social rights of Catholics that Cathollcb need
to notice and there never will be.
