i POTSDAM , Oct. 10. The disciplinary court
today tried the case of ex-Chancellor Lclst ,
IH formc-ly tlio German , administrator of the
Camaroons district of West Africa , who was
recalled owing to the charges of brutality
brought against him. The public prosecu
tor accused Lclst of abusing the powers
vested In him , nnd thus causing o revolt of
the native troops , resulting in a number of
outrages , and \ > ltli causing Injury to the Im
perial prestige by Immorality.
The court acquitted Lelst on the charge of
causing a mutiny of the native troops , but
ho wns convicted of abusing his authority ,
and of Immorality. Consequently he was
condemned to ho transferrrcd to a minor
post. In addition , the court sentenced Lelst
to. have his salary reduced one-fifth.
The charges brought against ex-Chnncellor
Lelst were of the most startling description ,
and attracted'-wide attention In March and
April last. For Instance , a weekly news
paper of Berlin on April 11 published ex
tracts front the diary of n German resident
of the Cameroons , among them statements
tending to show that Ilerr Wehlan , the gov
ernor's siibstltuto who led an expedition
against the natives. Issued an order to his
BUbordlnatcB directing them to. cut the
throats of all the old women who fell Into
tliolr Jiamls. The other natives , who were
unfortunate enough to be captured were con
veyed on shipboard where they were bound
to the rail of the vessel , the thongs which
held them being drawn so tight that in
many Instances when the flesh began to
swell they cut deep Into the legs and arms
of the prisoners , who were entirely unpro
tected from the weather , and exposed to the
tropical heat with theJr wounds festering and
breeding maggots : The frantic appeals of
the prisoners for water were brutally icfusjd ,
and when the captives were half dead they
wrro shot down like wild beasts. Lelst was
charged with Hogging nutlre women , which
act led to the mutiny of the native troops ,
during which the latter broke Into the gov
ernment house and shot down a Judge , whom
they mistook for the assistant governor. .
For this about twenty-five- the rebels were ,
afterward hung. fn
Ilerr Lelst was recalled In April last. Tvltlv
i summons from the government ordering
aim to surrender hlrosalf to the authorities
in Berlin and prepare to defend the accusa
tions made against htm. Lelst denied that
the flogging of women was the Immediate
sause ot the mutiny of the native troops.
He admitted the truthfulness of the charges
if Immorality as regards native women , and
laid that he had made the latter perform
their native dances before him , The public
prosecutor , who went to the Cameroons to
inquire Into the nffalr , addressing the court ,
laid Leltt had' ' set all morality at defiance.
LONDON , Oct. 16. A Berlin dispatch to
Iho Times says the extraordinary Judgment
In the Lclst case , which virtually admits
Lclst wns Justified In flogging women , may
bo good law , but It certainly will not be
indorsed by publ'c opinion.
A dispatch to tlie Post from Berlin says
the result of the trial will bo received
throughout the empire with a storm of bitter
Indignation and angry derision. It will

WltiSHADBN , Oct. 15. This pretty water
ing place at the fool of the Taurus moun
tains Is crowded with loyal and enthusi
astic Germans today , and the town Itwlf Is
brilliant with holiday bunting In honor of
the visit of Emperor William , who arrived
hero this afternoon to unveil the monument
to the memory of his father , Emperor Wil
liam 1 , nnd to open the splendid Royal
theater. The latter , which has been erected
bj" the enterprising town. Is one of the
finest In Germany. It Is built ot yellow
sandstone and Is surmounted by Matues , the
work of celebrated sculptors. Inside the
theater the decorations are beautiful.
They vsero designed by some of the best
German artist * . Oft the royal box Is a little
room made to resemble the cabin of the
cmreror on board the Imperial yacht. This
little apartment Is the emperor's own Idea.
The royal theater of Wiesbaden cost 4,000,000
marks , nnd his majesty grants It nn annual
subsidy of 250,000 marks , l-'or several days
past visitors have been pouring Into the
town , and the hotels today are EO packed
with cucsts that the smallest attic room
commands a fabulous price. The windows
overlooking those portions of the city In
which the emperor Is to pass were eagerly
sought after , and i as the afternoon approached
began to mi with ladles In bright toilets ,
accompanied by their escorts. These win
dews were prettily decorated.
The streeta began to nil up with people nt
an early hour , and by noon all the main
thoroughfares were crowded -with towns folk
and visitors , among whom were a number
of foreigners. The streets through which the
emperor was to pass were richly and beau
tifully decorated with Venetian masts a !
short Intervals , which marked the route to
be followed by the Imperial party. In ad
dition , several elaborate arches of artistic
jj
design were erected at Intervals along the
streets. Tlio town Itself spent a large sum
ot moiuy In the preparations to welcome
his majesty , and nearly every householder
of Wiesbaden did the same , with the resul
that this charming place rarely , if ever
looked more brilliant than today.
Kmperor William was formally receive !
by Mayor von Ibel , The emperor was ac
companled by a suite of elxtcen persons , In
eluding the elicits of the military and clvl
cablnots and his alde-de-camps , Von Moltk (
and Von School. The party proceeded In
open carriages through Wllhelm strnsso t' '
the south front ot the new theater , opposlt
which stands the statue erected In honor of
Emperor William I , the present emperor'
grandfather. A guard of honor , compoced o
noncommissioned officers from the Illcbrlcl
school escorted the emperor through th
streets , which were lined with troops ant
poilc ? , tlie greatest precaution being taken
by both the military and civil authorities t
prevent any unpleasant Incident occurrln ;
during the emperor's Journey from the rail
road station. The festivities were somewha
marred by the fact that the weather wa
dull and cold.
The emperor wore the uniform of the Lclb
hiissaren , with the skull nnd cross bone
helmet , and a gray overcoat faced with rec
Upon arriving upon the platform his majcst
gave the signal for the singing to commence.
While the male chorus was slnclng , nnd
afterwards , whllo the mayor was making his
speech of welcome , Emperor William stood
quietly looking over the crowd , apparently
greatly Interested in everything he saw. At
the conclusion of the mayor's speech his
majesty replied in n few well chosen words ,
and then ordered the- statue to he unveiled.
As the drapery slowly descended his majesty
kept lilu right hand nt the salute , nnd his
example was followed by all the offlcors
piesent. It was noticed , however , that the
emperor did not appear to entirely approve
of the statue , and then walked slowly around
It. Returning to tlio pavilion , the emperor
had the Guard of Honor march past again ,
this time nt tlie parade march. After
wards the emperor shook hands cordially
with .Mayor von Ibel and others and drove
to the pulace amid loud cheers.
Alter dinner Emperor William went with
hla suite to tl.e new theater , where the audi
enceas entirely composed of Invited guests.
The first row at the dress circle was re
served exclusively for ladles , as nt the gala
performance nt Berlin. After the perform
ance the emperor supped with Rittmelstcr
von Hulscn , director of the theater , at his
house on Sonnenberger stratso , and at 10:30 :

an Important secret , an etulnent of

This statement is a confirmation ot the

that before his departure on a Junketing tour
through Europe J. Sterling Norton had It ar
ranged that no postmaster for Omaha should
bo appointed until after the November elec

WILMINGTON , Del. , Oct. 16. All Del
aware turned out tonight to formally wel
come Ambassador Thomas P. Dayard back to
his state and city , alter an absence o ( eigh
teen months as the representative of his
government to the court of St. James. It
was a great demonstration , and those who
attended were limited only by the capacity
ofWCl the opera house In which the ceremonies
were held. Deafening applause greeted Am
bassador Bayard as lie was conducted upon
the stage , and ho was visibly affected by the
affectionate greeting. Senator Gray arose
and on behalf at the vast audience welcomed
. the . honored guest of the evening In these
words :
' Jlr. Bayard : It Is my pleasing- and grate
ful duty at the request of the democratic
societies and citizens of Wilmington to Rive
voice to the welcome , wp , one and nil , earn
estly and cordially brine to you tonight.
This overflowing nnd spontaneous demon
stration was not necessary to tell you of the
warmth and depth of our itlTectlou. We
have known you too Ions' and too well for
that. Hut during yourlong1 absence It
seemed very long to us we have carried
you In our hearts , nnd out of the fullness
of those hearts our mouths must speak.
Your return finds us , It Is true. In the heat
of another of thoie political campaigns
which seem Inevitable and necessary under
free constitutional governments. You nnd
us contending' with all the strength of sin
cere conviction for the supremacy of those
time-honored and time-tented principles of a ,
true democracy which vou so long and so
ably hove expounded and enforced. .
It would , therefore , be Idle to attempt to
conceal the fact that we rejoice to have our
war-worn leader back. VOnc blast upon his
bugle horn were worth 1HX > men. " JJnpplly
the amenities of political contests ) ' , ' which , I
trust , are the result of an advancing- civil
ization , permit the recognition of the parti
san character of this reception , without of
fense to those of your und our fellow cit
izens of a diffoient fulth "who may honor
us with their presence ns our guests tcnlght.
I trust we nil shall ever manifest that re
spect and consideration for honest differ
ences of opinion that becomes the hlsh citi
zenship of a free country , After all , the
in u n underlies the politician , and the kind
neighbor and friend is more to us than the
eminent statesman. "Itlood Is thicker than
water , " and we nre nil exceedingly
this evening to bear witness you have not
lived your life among us In vain : that we
owe you much , nnd that our dear little com
monwealth , like the Uoman mother of old ,
has no wealth to compare to the good name
and fame of her Illustrlovis sons. We have
watched your career with pride ; your tri
umphs have been ours ; we claim a share
( n the widening circle ot your honors and
catch something of Inspiration from the
high standardsof duty you have main
tained in publl. . life n1
and your private sta !
tion. We want to tell you tonight we have
tnlssed you through the long months the
wide ocean has separated us , and that to
us the pklcs are brighter for your return.
We hope nay , we know that whatever of
honor and grateful appreciation have come
lo you among our kin beyond the' sea , the
best of all to you Is tlie coming home again.
That here among your kindred and respectIng : -
Ing and recpected friends and neighbors
you have ever found your greatest happi l-
ness , your greatest Joy ; that to you " id
hearts nre more than coronet * and > le
faith than Norman blood. " Welcome ,
thrice welcome to our hearts and home.
Mr. Bayard spoke most feelingly of the
warm-reception which awaited him upon his
return to his native country and state , "It
Is very difficult " said he "
, , "to nnd phrase *
that express what I feel tonight , for tonight ;
Is an occasion of feeling with me far more
than speaking. "
Speaking of his treatment abroad he said :
From one- and nil In the country to which
I have been accredited , has come to me
nothing but the most unbounded courtesy
and kindness Kvcrywhere I found the
name America was received with honor ,
such as I believe 3r.no
hus been extended to no
other people than ourselves. Trom the
venerable lady whose -virtues so Illustrate
the happy reign over n contented pee ?
ple ] , through the olllclals , down ta the very
heart ot the people , In the mass , I ve
found nothing but friendly hands nnd nd
words. I went as a friend , I have been re-
cejved us a. friend. I went as a friend to
clear up nil inlsunderHtnndings and to ng
together the- hearts and
the feelings of two
nations "jotind by ties
such as exist between
no other two nations on the globe.
The foundations of this government of
ours were not laid In
craft , in cunning or
corruption. They were laid In self-respect
( iml honor ; they were laid by men. who ,
when they made a law , meant to obey It
and not to evade It. They nre governed by
laws of their own creation. It Is that spirit
of Justice to your neighbor , of dealing fairly
|
and candidly with him that makes It all the
more necessary that hefflmtl deal so by
you. It ts so-In respect to foreign relations ! ,
It will be BO In respect of our home. 1
came- back to America only loving my
country the more. 1 am glad to bear testi
mony today to the
good feeling everywhere
exhibited throughout Great Britain for the
American people nnd to pay I hope there
will never be nn honest British hand
stretched out that there
will not be an
honest American hand ta grasp It.
Mr. Bayard closed with the "following
words : "I nm Just the same friend of Dela >
ware nnd her people and of the country that
I have always been and I shall only repeat
what I Imvo done now for sixty years , that
Delaware Is my natural home , and that here
I stand among my friends , "

NCW YORK , Oct. IfiThe following ap-
pc.il ! was Issued today nt I he democratic
slat headquarters In the Park Avenue hotel
by Senator Charles S. Faulkner , chairman
of the i democratic congressional committee :
"Korty days ago , by reason of the dissatis
faction at the slow action of congress In
passing a tntjff bill , and a very general mls-
understnmllni : of the character of the bill
which was ultimately passed , -we had but
little hope of carrying a. majority of the
Fifty-fourth " '
congress. The political Improve
ment of the situation In the interests of the
democracy during that brief period , how
ever , has been marvelous , and a better un
derstanding of the provisions of the law and
a realization of Iho necessity for enabling
the ' parly to redeem lt pledges and to hold
up the hands of the democratic administra
tion during the next two rears has stopped
the bickerings whicft were dividing
Its counsels. and the prospects are
now bright for a united and
ag
gressive party to hold a fair working
majority j In the next congress. In estimat
ing our ability to maintain a working ma
jority , we have necessarily counted upon the
New York democracy giving
us the full
number of members we have In the present
house. If wo fall In realizing this , it Is
questioned If It will be posslblo to main
tain our supremacy In the national legisla
ture. The divisions. In New York are not
only . ; dangerous from the standpoint of los
Ing a majority of members | n Ihls state , but
the moral effect upon tha country districts
of the state will be exceedingly discouraging.
Whatever may be the differences which may
divide the a > arty upon l&cat Issues , there can
bo nnd should bo no excuse for a division
on national lines. The supremacy of the
national democratic organizations should not
be Imperiled that local results , may be pro
moted. I believe I voice tae. sentiment ot
our democracy when I Insist upon union and
harmony on congressional nominations.
"Today the state ot Neto York , If the
election was to be passed , upon by tile house ,
could cast Its vote for a. democrat to occupy
the presidential chair , Nineteen of Its
thirty-four are democratic. A loss of two
congressmen In this statfl. would give the
vote In 1S97 of the state of New York to
the republicans for president should the con
tingency occur In which the ; election of that
officer were thrown Into the house. For
these reasons I appeal to 'all Iho elements ,
factions and divisions of th * party to- unite
and harmonize on the- congressional tickets
and to do no act which will tend to weaken
and endanger the national
" ( supremacy of our
party. | ,

YORK. Neb. , Oct. 14. To the ndltor of
The IJee : The York Ilepubllcan last week
stated that Tulleys & Co. of Iowa had or
dered their agent at York to not loan any
more money until r.fter the election. The
editor of the Republican Is honest , and pub-
llslied the following denial with the state
ment that ho had keen Imposed upon :
YOIUC , Neb , Oct. R , ISO ! . To the Kdltor
of the Kc'piiljllean. In your last week's Is
sue I noticed an article which , to my
knowledge. Is a base falsehood. Whether
It was written out of Ignorance of facts ,
for political effect , or for personal Injury ,
I shall not attempt to pass an opinion.
AVhoevcr the writer may be I care not.
For our own protection I believe the mat
ter should be published. 1 have never be
fore attempted an article for any ncws-
pa ] > er or for the public. Hut as It concerns
us ns Indlvduals , 1 shall reply to the arti
cle. In the llrst place , Messrs. Tulleys ,
Walters & Wad&worth nre u Ilrm doing
business at Council Iluffs ! , In the/ state of
Iowa , nnd have no connection with any
one known as the- Iowa Loan company.
Their business Is the loaning of money on
real estate security , and hus been ctirrled
on by them In Nebraska , and lown for the
past twenty years. We have done the prin
cipal part of their buslncbs In York county
for two years j > ast , und are now placing
loans for them. They have thousands of
dollars here and arc In the market today for
nil first class loans. We wish the people of
York county to understand that we are heie
to protect the Interests of those we rcprc-
sent , We are willing nnd ready to plnce
loans for every honest farmer who will
pay his Interest promptly , nnd who will
meet the lender on equitable terms.
II. I. FKHGUSON.
What sort of cowards are the people of
Nebraska that the machine tries , to scare
them by threats Ilka this ? Are we such
slaves that we will not bB permitted to vote
for whom we please , and , If we do so vote
are we to be lashed as were men in slavery
days ? Do men who have robbed the people
of millions by railway wrecking , taking the
ill-gotten gains to start loan companies , are
these the k'nd ' of men to dictate to us how
we shall vote ? That influence dictated the
defeat of Keckley , but now demands that
their servant be elected governor , and their
loan agent have the second place. They con
fess by their use of threats that defeat stares
them In the face. They confess that they
have no defense to make against the charges
made by Hosewater or they would have had
him arrested years ago. If what Rosewater
says Is not true the law Tom Majors helped
to pass would put Kosewater In the peni
tentiary. The only thing they do to counter
act the charges Is to Instruct the boys to
n" up the halls wherever the editor of The
Dee speaks and howl for Majors. Should a
gang of Holcomb men treat a Majors speaker
and meeting in like manner what a rage
they would be in. The city of York was
supposed to have more felt-respect , and
In Jnct has. They did not know
how the country would look upon such
ruffianism. York Is not to blame for It , nor
are the majority of those whowpre badges
and hooted. They only forget where/
were , and many have expressed . reeretw
t i-part tliey took In making York , appear
to &e a southern , backwoods village of
ruffians and bums. Hut that Is the only an
swer they see fit to make to the charges
the speaker makes against Majors. They
want Hcsy , as they call him. In the pen.
If he Is telling falsehoods they can now
put him there.
If they frighten us by threatening to
make us all paupers If wo elect Holcomb ,
what will they hold over us the next time ?
If they have it In thelr power to make Ne
braska starve If It "does not elect whom they
dictate ; If they now have that power over
us , and wo are In such a condition that they
can use that power , what becomes of the talk
about thirty years of prospertty these same
fellows say they gave us ? No , gentle people
ple , they have wind on their stomachs , effects
of the Majors pill , and they are belching
up the gas. Nebraska people arc not the
cowards the gang take them to be , and the
election will declare that we are free.

to vote for Majors by the howl that the
election ot the honest man , Holcomb , will
ruin the credit of the state. Nothing could
be meaner than to coerce free men to vote

Judge Cunningham U. Scot t , who , since ha
has been on the Olstilct bench , has often ,
done unprecedented things for a judge , 1ms
at length produced an unprecedented situation
with respect to the whole bench. He Is at
open war with his flvo colleagues , who yes
terday for the first time felt compelled to
Intervene as ngalnst Scott in upholding the
dignity of the court and securing the Im
partial operation of the judicial system.
The application ot Udword Kosewater , de
fendant In a libel suit brought by Sophia
Dennett , for a trial before some other Judge
on the ground of the prejudice and hostility
of Judge Scott against him , nna denied. Ap
plication was then made to the other flvo
juOccs sitting In bane and the reipicst was
granted. Judge Scott entered an order on
his docket setting aside the action of his col-
leagiiea. As the case now .stands , live highly
respected judges of the district court have
made a unanimous ruling against "lilcli Scott
has set himself , The order made by them
has been met by him with a counter order.
One juclga seeks to vacate an order made by
five judges. The Issue Is a square one. Tha
sheriff of the county and tlie clerk of thu
county court hove received contradictory di
rections , and the language need by Scott In
several Instances was In the highest degrca
Insulting to the other judges of the court.
IN1JIGNATION OF TUB 1UU.
Indignation was freely expressed on the
streets and In the hotel rotundas last even
ing when the news of Scott'r action became
known. Knots of lawyers on the court house
etcps and strett.corners.discussed the arbi
trary action of Scott and denounced his at * ,
front to his colleagues In unmeasured torma.
A prominent | lawyer , whose name will appear
inme the movement later , suggested that a bar
meeting be called wlthln , the next dayor
two ta voice the true sentiment of the legal
profession of this city In regard to what
Is termed a judicial outrage.
It was learned later that a meeting at
prominent lawyers Is called for this evening
for the purpose of formulating a call for
district meeting at a date to be agreed upon.
It is held that the action of the flvo Judges )
In designating Judge- Ambrose to try the
Ucnnctt libel case must be sustained by tha.
bar of this city. Members ot the bar are )
, .
Intensely Interested In the situation , and tha
sentiment , as expressed last evening , Isto

and that Scott should bo censured for Ida
act.
act.Tho
The bar meeting will dltcuss the means
most practicable for bringing about the re
moval of Scott. Two courses nre open to
that end. One has reference to Impeachment
proceedings before the next legislature. The
other contemplates a shorter cut to relief.
The meeting will volea the sentiment of the
bar In resolutions deprecating the events of
yesterday and denouncing the aspersions pub *
llcly cast by Scott upon his colleagues and the
acts of discourtesy toward them whljo they
were hearing the motion to transfer the Den
nett case from his docket.
HOW TUB IinCACII OPKNKD ,
It Is a well known face that the alleged
criminal libel case of Sophia Uennett against
Editor Kosewater , editor of Thr- Dee , had
been set tor trial today , the case bolns
entered upon Scott's docket , where It 1ms
been olncn the hearing In the police court ,
something like nine months ago. Soon after
the case was placed upon Scott's docket ho
said In private and public that he would neb
sit to determine the Issues Involved , going ;
so far as to announce from the bench that
he had made arrangements with an outslda
Judge to exchange dockets with him. The
understanding continued until a short tlmo
ago , when suddenly Scott experienced a
change of heart and decided that he wanted
to hear tlie case himself. With this idea in
view , not long ago he set the case for trial
and ordered the county attorney to notify the
witnesses for the stale to appear tomorrow
morning.
Soon after Scott had determined to hear
the case , affidavits of Mr. Kosewater , Henry
Estabrook. B. W. Slmeral and W. 15. Per-
clval were filed In the clerk's office , all
tending to show that owing to his bias and
prejudice It was Impossible for Scott
to give Mr. KoEewater a rair and Impartial
trial. These adldavltH were read by Judga
Scott , and tha motion for the change was
overruled.
