BERLIN , May 19. The affair of Robert
F. Knccbs , the American trotting horse
owner , who Is accused of fraudulent prac
tices on the turf , has assumed u new
phase. His friends arc fetching from Scot
land a man namrd Dawon , an American
trainer , who , In a great number of the
American races , ran against Kiuebs' horses.
Dawson , It Is Bald , will testify that Nellie
Knecbs ! Indeed the name of the mare
nii'l Is not the mare Bethel , as claimed by
the opponents of Kncelis. Should this turn
nut to be the case Knecbs may be released
from Jail.
Another point In favor of Knecbs Is the
fact that the chief Witness against him ,
an American named Heffner , was well
known In the western part of the United
States , and who accompanied the prisoner
hero as Ills partner In the trotting business ,
lias suddenly disappeared from the cl'y
without leaving any trace of his where-
aliotit. " .
Finally , Dr. Hall of AVakefield , In
answer to a cable mcssaga sent to the
United States , replied that Bethel Is now
on a farm In Minnesota , and came here
from America In order to swear out n war
rant for Heffner's arrest on the charge of
cmbeiKlIng the proceeds ot the sale of Dr.
Hull's horses. Hall It Is understood , will
al o furnish the court wltb better proof
than that obtainable up to the present In
regard to the Identity of the two mares.
The trial of Kncebs IB liable to be pro
tracted and expensive , owing to the length
of the time required to get the necessary
proofs of the Identity of the two horses
from the United States.
Mr. Knecbs upon his arrival here had
letters of Introduction to members of the
United States embassy , but so far ho has
not Invoked the assistance .of thp United
Status olllclals In order to obtain his libera
tion or In order to secure -legal advice and
support.
support.LAMPOONING A JUDGE.
No definite action lias as yet been taken
In regard to the scandal In which the name
of Judge Brausscwctter has been connected
ns a result of the trial and condemnation
of the editors who'criticised the police upon
the occasion of the- dispersal of the crowds
vho assembled outside the Frlcdrlchshaln
lirev.Cjry In January last. In this connection
a sinart radical Journal recently printed an
amusing caricature of the now celebrated
press trial , holding the judge up to ridicule
under the caption of "Judgo Brauso Pulver
yon Soldlltz Powder. " '
A mooting of men-of-lcttcrs and Journal
ists took place on Thursday with the ob
ject ot taking the conduct of Judge Drausse-
wcttcr under consideration and deciding on
the best means to secure , If possible , his
removal. After the matter had been dis
cussed the gentlemen who attended the
meeting drew up and forwarded to the
minister of Justice and to the Diet u strong
protest against the Judge's conduct. ,
It begins to appear , however , that no no
tice will bo taken of the affair In olllclal
quarters and It would almost seem as If the
emperor , who Is the real controller of the
police , approves of their conduct , for Cap
tain Feist , who had charge of the police
force which was engaged in quelling the al
leged disturbance which gave rise to the
trial , together with some of his officers , have
already been promoted.
The remains of the late United States
consul general , Mr. William Hayden Edwards -
wards , were burled this afternoon In the
old cemetery at Potsdam In the presence of
a number of friends and relatives. Among
those present was Dr. Rosing , formerly Ger
man consul at Now York , who represented
the German government. Also present nt
the funeral were the secretary of the United
States embassy , Mr , Chapman Coleman , the
assistant secretary , the staff of the embassy
and many of the United States consuls from
the North German districts. The mourners
included the widow of the deceased. Rov. Dr.
Hanke , son of the renowned historian , per
formed the funeral rites. The widow will
not go to the United States , but will remain
hero for tha present at the residence which
her late husband rented at Potnlam for the
summer. George H. Murphy , tlio United
States vice consul at Luxembourg , the de
ceased's brother-in-law , is doing the work
of thu United States consulate while the
place of Mr. Edwards Is nominally taken by
Dr. Abbot , with the honoiary tltlu of vice
consul.
OPPOSE THE JESUIT'S RETURN.
The king of Wurtemburg , William H , has
canted , a sensation In many circles by coming
out with an open declaration against the
policy of readmitting the members of the
Society ot Jesus Into Germany. In receiving
deputations from the various synods the king
expressed the opinion the Bundesrath could
> iot confirm the repeal of the anti-Jesuit
law.
"This , " ho said , "U not only my personal
attitude , but It Is that of my government
toward the question , "
The ultramontane Journal-Gcrmanla cliur-
ncterlzes this statement as being "Incredible
and monstrous. "
The Hamburger Nachrlchtcn , noting the
rarity of a sovereign expressing himself so
decidedly , says thnt It takes It for granted
thp king was accurately Informed before * com
mitting himself.
It may be added that It Is well known
the Inhabitants of the duchy of Saxu-Coburg-
Qotlm are opponed to the repeal ot the antl-
tjesuttjaw , and It U believed that Prussia's
Cplnlon remains the same as when Chan
cellor von Caprlvl , as premier ot Prussia ,
tieclarpil the return of tlm Jesuits wag an
impossibility.
Bavaria Is understood to bo of the tame
tnlnd as Prusila and several of the smaller
ttteo of the German empire are knuwn tote
to wearing bllU forbidding the return ot
the Jesuits to their respective territories.
FIGARO SPRINGS A SENSATION.
A sensational article published by the
I'arlK Figaro I * attracting much attention
hero. The Figaro , In the article , stated that
Emperor William and his chief of staff had
agreed upon the selection of the odlccrs to
be sent to France , In allotted spheres , as
fples. Tills statement Is much commented
upon In the ncwtpapcrs and elsewhere , not
as to the allegation against the emperor ,
which Is treated as beneath contempt , but
as a. warning to German travelers visiting
or Intending to visit France , and as In
dicating what may be expected from the
alleged "crazy credulity of Frenchmen on
HIP spy question , " to use a phrase adopted
by a ccitaln paper In discussing the mat
ter.
ter.The National Zcltung , referring to th'e
Figaro charges , advises German travelers
tu act with the greatest caution , as thctium-
ber of cases of arrest of German pleas
ure seekers In France Is Increasing.
An expert here professes to have dis
covered the secret of thu manufacture of
Herr Dowe's bullet-proof coat. He declares
It consists of a Krupp steel plate , probably
two centimeters In thickness , protected by
an oakum stuffing to deaden the Impact
of the bullet. Such a plate. It Is added ,
would resist the most Improved of the
latest style of rifles. Hcrr Dowe was taxed
with this alleged discovery of his secret
and In reply ho gave an evasive answer.
The distinguished Mannheim tailor has Just
gone to London In order to exhibit his in
vention In a music hall. On the other
hand , dispatches received here from Lon
don say a young lady who Is an expert In
the tiso of the rifle has accidentally dis
covered the secret of Herr Do we. In any
case , she Is being fired at nightly at a
music hall , while clothed In a so-called
bullet-proof coat.
In accordance with American diplomatic
regulations , the Washington government
was not olllclully represented at the funeral
here on Wednesday last of Herr von Kurd
von Schloeser , although the latter was
formerly German minister to the United
States. Some members of the United States
embassy attended the funeral In their ca
pacity.
EMPEROR ENDOWS A THEATER.
Emperor William has offered to subscribe
$2GOO per year for several years out of his
private purse In order to defray the ex
penses of building a state theater at Bom-
berp , a town of about 30,000 Inhabitants' ,
situated about seventy miles from Posen.
Among the papers of Dr. Spltta , the fa
mous biographer * of Bach , the composer ,
was found an Important history of the ro
mantic opera. The work. It appears , was
completed after beveral years of work , only
a week before the death of Dr. Spltta.
The dismissal of SOO men who absented
themselves from work on May day led the
social democrats to boycott several large
Berlin breweries. The socialists held nine
meetings tpday tp discuss the matter , and
are said to have scrupulously maintained
the boycott and to have Insisted on the
recognition of the existing Brewery Work
men's union , the payment ot Indemnity to
the dismissed men , and their reinstatement.
They also asked the granting of May day
as n day ol rest. , So far the boycott Is prac
tically Ineffective. , as the lionbbycOtted brew
eries have combined with the boycotted and
refuse to supply any beer house which has
stopped taking beer from the boycotted
breweries.
Uii.IiIOUS DISPLAYS IMiOIHItlTEl ) .
State Department Upholds Municipal
.Authorities In thu Contest.
PARIS , May 19. For some time past
a dispute has existed and caused much bad
feeling between the priests of St. Denis
and the mayor of that town. St. Dents Is
situated about five miles from Paris and
Is chiefly celebrated for the ( act that It
was the principal burial place of the kings
of France. The church of St. Denis Is a
most attractive structure and Its priests
have fgr ages been held In high esteem
and have been the object of much venera
tion upon the part of the populace. The
mayor recently took objection to the elab
orate display made by the priests of St.
Denis In the funeral processions which
accompinlcd the remains ot distinguished
ptiiHons to the tomb. The mayor was par
ticularly opposed to the great display of
religious emblems , such as statues of the
saints , banners and relic holders , which
were features of the largest processions.
The mayor 'warned the priests that this
display must cease. The priests In reply
claimed that they were not violating any
law or municipal regulation and tlm dis
play of emblems was continued. The mayor
appealed to the government and the council
of state was called upon to decide the
dispute. A decision was rendered today ,
the department of state holding that
funeral processions In which religious em
blems are displayed may be piohlblted by
the mayor If the latter Is of the opinion
that biich a display Is likely to cause public
disturbance. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

BERLIN. May 19. Two of the nrltlsh
delegates to tlio International congress re
mained hero today after the departure of
tlio main body of delegates for Great Brlt-
aln , with authority to take part In the ap
pointment of the International committee
which has the task of choosltiK the next
place of mooting for the miner * ' Interna
tional congress In 1S93.
Delegate Calewayert , representing the
Belgian miners , at the meeting of dele
gates today , said that he regretted the de
parture of the majority of the British depu
tation and acquitted them of selfish motives.
M. Calewayert added that the Drltlsh miners
were the host paid and the best organized
of all the miners of Europe , and expressed
the opinion that the dissension was due to
the use of so many different languages In
the congress.
The Drltlbh delegates replied In friendly
terms , saying that they were convinced
that the labors of the present congress will
be beneficial to all. Benjamin I'lckard ,
a member of the British House of Com
mons , was re-elected general secretary of
the International organization , and Thomas
Burt , also a member of the British Parlia
ment , was elected treasurer.
The International committee unanimously
fixed upon Paris as the city where the next
International congress Is to take place.
The collapse of the conference yesterday
was brought about by the Jealousy of the
miners of other countries at the strength
displayed by the British. Mr. Asplnwall
had made a motion favoring legal prohibi
tion of unskilled labor In the pits , with a
view 16 preventing overproduction. The
continental delegates bitterly opposed this ,
but It was carried by the solid vote of the
Drltlsh , and the acrimonious feeling which
was thus engendered resulted In the with
drawal of all the English representatives
and the break-up of the entire congress.

few days a decision will bo arrived at to
start. Sheriff Richardson has purchased
sixty repeating shotguns and has stored away
about 500 revolvers with plenty of ammuni

LONDON , May 19. Some Idea of the keen
ness existing among the theatrical managers
of London may be gathered from the fact
that Miss Lole Fuller , the American skirt
dancer , is appearing nightly In three houses
the Trafalgar , the Strand and Terry's In
different dances and , with great success nt
each establishment. t The theaters have
been compelled to adjopt the music hall sys

for the socalled popular business.

CHICAGO , May 19. Thousands of specta
tors watched from tlio lake shore today the
destruction of craft that had been beached
during the storm of yesterday and last
night. At Twenty-seventh street the Me.
Laren Is being pounded to pieces fifty yards
from the shore , and her destruction will be
complete before the surf quiets. The body
of Joseph Stelan , mate , remained on the
wreck. He was killed yesterday on the
vessel by falling spars.
Three wrecks were rolling In the breakers
at Twenty-fifth street. The Thompson
stood the strain fairly well and will not be
broken to piecesby the waves. Nothing
but the bow of the Evening Star remained
after the heavy sea of the night. A few
feet away the shattered hulk of the Mer
cury was rapidly being broken to pieces and
was a total loss.
Half a mile from shore , oft Twenty-second
street , two vessels were laboring In the sea.
One was thought to bo the D. S. Austin ,
commanded by Captain Cassldy and manned
by n crew of six. Four men could be seen
In the rigging. The vessel was apparently
In little danger of destruction. About 200
yards farther another and smaller schooner ,
the Morning Star , was riding out the storm.
Her condition appeared worse , and the In
dications were that she was waterlogged.
The twenty-seven men on the north crib
who wcro unable to reach land lust night ,
hauled down their distress signal today and
signalled that they were all right. The
men at the other cribs telephoned that
they were safe.
The schooner Goodwin , which was re
ported to have gene asnore at Sixteenth
street today , succeeded In clearing the
beach , and is riding safely at anchor. When
reached by the life savers the crew refused
to go ashore" , asserting that all danger
was" past. '
, The schgoner .C , M. vAUxcr.-wjth a cargo
,0f cedar ties , was driven past-Chicago and
went on the beach at One Hundredth street.
At 3 a. m. today a three-masted schooner
went ashore at Thirteenth street and began
breaking up. She was supposed to be the
Goodman , a three-and-aft lumber schooner ,
and had seven men on board. The life sav
ing crew was notified and at daylight began
efforts to rescue the crew.
Dispatches from many points In this sec-
tori show great damage done. Along the
lake shore , both in Wisconsin and Michi
gan , the storm was one of unprecedented
severity. It Is feared many serious ship
ping disasters are yet unreporled. Michi
gan City , Ind. , reports two schooners driven
ashore ; crews rescued. Green Bay , WIs. ,
reports the barge Edward S. Tlceo driven'
ashore ; crew safe.
Several points In Iowa report a severe
cold wave and serious damage to crops.
At Mowaqul , 111. , the mercury dropped 50
degrees In twenty-four hours , and farmers
fear much damage to crops. At Springfield
and other points In the central division of
the state a similar condition is reported.
At La Porte , Ind. , a cyclone near Kings-
bury did much damage and killed Henry
Sprlge ! .
Two bodies were recovered from-tho lake
this afternoon near Fifty-fifth street. Both
were evidently those of sailors and one was
Identified by papers as B. Thompson.
The locating of the life saving crew at
Jackson park was severely criticized by ves
sel men today and It was asserted that had
the crew been at the mouth of the river the
loss of life yesterday would have been
avoided. The crew was sent to Jackson
park during the World's fair and since then
has never been returned to Its .quarters near
the center of the harbor , btit yesterday's
fatalities will probably result In an Immedi
ate change.
One result of the storm was the destruction
of the old cottonwood tree which stood on
Eighteenth street and In the shade of which
the terrible Fort Dearborn massacre was
perpetrated by the Indians August 15 , 1812.

CONDUCTOR NICHOLAS HILL.
There were no Injuries not fatal except a
few minor ucrati-hes. The wreck was be
tween extra freight No. 61 ! , westbound , and
the bridge train , under Conductor Hill. Hill
was out with his train and expected to take
the siding Just east of the tunnel. Ho sent
a flagman ahead and was backing up with
u hoarding car In fiont. He had followed
the Magnum too closely , and Just an he en
tered the tunnel Engineer Jones , with the
oMia freight , riMoutMl the other end while.
running thlity miles an hour. Ho and his
fireman saw the danger In time to jump.
The engine crashed Into the boarding car , In
which \\ore the six doomed men. The cor
was Miin&hcd Into splinters and the englno
ploued across the track , choking tip the
tunnel \\lth debris.
Klovcn Mat and box cars were piled to
gether in the rear , making access to thn
wreck almost Impossible. Only one man's
voice could he heurd that of John Condrey
calling in the most pitiful manner for help.
None i-oiild reach him and n short time after
wards his cries were stilled.
Krs. Miller and McNory went to the wreck
from this pluc ? on n special train. A
n recking train was put to work at both emit *
and tonight the bodies were reached , with
the evct'ptiou of. tluit of Condrey. They
were brought hero ' nd prepared for ship
ment to their Jiptnos.
x A singular"clrcunmtance , noted Is. that all
of'tlic iiif-n had thplr heads crushed , and
with two exceptions were almost uninjured
In any other 'way. The MirvlvorH of tha
hi MRP tr.iin say the Magman sent out by
Comlunlor Hill Mail ample time to get to a
designated point , and In fact should have
been llier.p half on hour before the arrival
' '
of the rx't'ru freight , of the coming of which
none of them Knew. The "flagman denies
this and ( .ays Hill followed him before ho
had lime to get out ot Iho tunnel , and ho
was In It when the freight came.
All the passenger , mall and express trains
have had to transfer over the hill at the
tunnel. Freight traffic was suspended until
midnight.

POLICE HAID GAMBLERS.
Hilt All Su\nTwo ICHriipeil In Time Through
u MyHlerlmiH Door.
George Rlllott and Kllsworth Clark were
in rested lost night and charged with getting
up and maintaining gaming duvlcex.
A couple of days ago the police wore In-
lormed that the room over Billy Thompson's
saloon. In the alley In the rear of the Paxton -
ton block , were being used for gambling
mrposes. They wore ostensibly wlno rooms.
Last night Detectives Haze , Dunn , Dona-
ine. Savage and Dempsey were detailed , and
i raid was decided upon.
The proper papers were secured by Chief
! Ia/.e , and at a certain hour the raid wane
o be made. The affair was In charge ot
Detective Haze , and ho made all the plans
'or the raid ,
The saloon over which the rooms were
supposed to bo has an entrance on to the
alloy , one door leading from the saloon
proper and another which Is the termlnui
of a stairway leading to the. rooms. There
s another door , however , ono which had
lot been calculated upon , and as a matter
of course { [ wan the most Important of all.
Just iwhcro the door Is no ono knows , but
t Is supposed to open In some mysterious
way a clc-'ir pnssagu lo Douglas fctrcet on
the north.
Plans for the Intended raid being laid all
thu detectives named nbovc , umlr the cap
tion of He/e , started out. Straight to the
saloon they went and Chief Haze went o
the door mid uald hn wanted to go up stairs ,
Uf course tlm usual nuostluns were askcl
concerning the authority of the man
who Bpoko. Ho shortly demonstrated
this ( Hid was told to go
ipstalrs and welcome. All the doors that
wore known to the detective wcro securely
guarded , and Detective Hnx.o went to tlio
leer that was mippoftcd lo lead to the rooms.
A knock brought nn response , but a second
unn did. The door was opened and the
tollce then arcHtcd the two men , Clark anil
Jlllot. Thu patrol wagon was called and a
few gaming devices , such as tables , chlpu
and whi'ds , were taken to the station ,
These men say they are not the proprlo-
or ot the gambling room , but that tlm
iroprletorB were among those who escaped
iy the mysterious door. A fnw iiuestloni
vcre asked . about the money , there being
lone In sight , mid It was learned this had
llsappeared by the mysterious door.
Jack Edgarson , recently from Sioux City ,
ml who runiii up from South Omaha taut
night , was In tlio rooms , but ho left by thu
nysterlous door , and ad | ho , with twen , *
others who had been there , stood around on
