As laid bare by the emigration bill , which the government has submitted to the Reichstag , It will hereafter bb tbe settled policy of the government to direct the stream of German emigration elsewhere , than to the United States. Dur ing the recent cabinet session five out of elx members present declared themselves In accord with the alms of the Pan-German association and tbe colonial party , namely , to found In the future , so far as clrcum- utancra permit , large German colonies of nn agricultural and Industrial character In South and Central American countries , whcro the autonomous and uniform make-up of Buch colonies will not be politically Inter fered with. The government wIlTencouragc and promote as much as porslble , by money grants and political Intervention .whenever required , those companies aiming at settling such colonies. The first company was organized on Wednesday at Hamburg , with the title of Hanseatlc Colonization society. Its capital Is 1,100,000 marks. This company becomes the heir of the a-ssets and privileges of the Hamburg Colonial society of 1S94 , Including a territory of about 1,700,000 acres ot fer tile lands In the Brazilian state of Santa Calnrlna. The company's grant Includes a railway from San Francisco bay to the Ger man colonies of Ulumcnau and Jeolnsllle , the Brazilian government getting 5 per cent of the capital required to construct the rallroaej. BMPBlioil'S NAVAL PLANS. , The Reichstag next fall will be asked foi npproprlatlons'for the purposeof aiding th ( Rchemo of Admiral Tlcrpltz. who replaces Admiral von Hollmann. the secretary ot th < navy , during the letter's absence on slcl leave. Admiral Tlcrpltz Is the reputed au thor of the elgantlc naval plans , and It U practically certain that ho will succeed Vor ' bo retired at'thn close o , his leave of absence. This shows that th < emperor Is determined not to abandon his naval scheme. The radical papers , however already declare that the Reichstag will nol Krant to Admiral Ticrpltz what It rcfusei to Admiral von Hollmann. His majesty wll now await until next session , trusting tha In the meanwhile public opinion will grow more favorable to his Ideas. His majestj dined this evening with Admiral von Hell Jiiann. The emperor was very Indignant at Barer von Sttiram's clumsy attempt to Intlmldati the Reichstag by the use of the impcrla name and utterances' , and the rather pleasanl and Intimate relations which had hlthcrtc existed between Baron von Stumm and hi : majesty are ended. Cmpcror William , on Iho anniversary ol the birth of his grandfather , assembled li thu room In which the latter died the aides- de-camp of the old emperor and conferred on them the right to wear his grandfather' : monogram on their shoulder straps , declar ing that ho himself and the heir to the tltronoould In future wear the luouograir in memory of the glorious reign.

The strange lite and death ot Miss Isabella Murphy , daughter of the late Daniel T. Mur phy ot Murphy , rGant & Co. ot San Francisco , Is much discussed. Ons of her Bisters , Anlla , la the wife of Sir Charles Michael Wolneloy , baronet , a Justice of the peace and deputy lieutenant for Staffordshire , and another sister Is the wlfo of Don Flor ence L. Domlngucz , secretary of the Argen tine legation In London. Father Smullen , at whose residence In High Ongar , Eracx , Mla Murphy died from the effects of alcohol and narcotics , first met the deceased at the con vent at Isloworth , where he was chaplain , They left the convent at about the same time and wont to live at Wcsjtgate. After the lapse of a year Father Smullen returned to Islcworth , and ho was visited dally by the deceased. The mother superior eventually objected to Miss Murphy's vlslto and soon afterward Father Smullen ceased to be chap lain of the convent. Father fimullcn and Mils Murphy afterward lived In the same house at High Ongar. Mlra Murphy , who was only about 27 yearn of age , appears tc have b ° en entirely under Father Smullen's Influence , and she bequeathed him her for tune , estimated to amount to $300,000. They both Indulged Immoderately In alcohol and Miss Murphy , when she became sick , per- Blatantly refused to see a doctor , although she took morphia , prescribed for her by Father Smullen , for neuralgia and Insomnia. They visited America together In 1S92. Father Smullen had charge ot Mlaa Murphy's check book and business matters and al though shu > made a will In his favor , as al ready stated , there was no lawyer present and the document was witnessed by Father Smullen's servant. The post mortem exam ination disproved the existence of Immoral relations. A few days before her death the deceased left Father Smullen's house for her own , be cause Cardinal Vaughan came to visit the priest. The cardinal also paid her a visit. Father Smullen In an Interview denies he had to leave Islcworth on account of her visits or that ho bad designs upon her for tune. Ho further declared that he would not contest the will , adding that she had been meet kind to htm In Illness and In other ways and that her ead death had completely uppct him. A representative of the Associated press saw Cardinal Vaughan on the subject , but he declined to say anything except that the stories told were much exaggerated. I'UEl'AHATIONS FOR A FIGHT.

A representative of the Associated press has learned from wai office sources that a general to command the British forces has been selected and has beer asked to prepare a plan for the campaigr against the Boers , Including the number and description of the troops of different branches of the service , etc. , which ho Judges will be npcessary.to bring the mlljtary operations te a successful conclusion. This general , who 1 : familiar with African fighting , has replied that 10,000 British regulars will be sufficient as ho counts on the 40,000 troops , white and black , which are already there , while he doer not consider the Boers , even If able tc do so , will put 40,000 armed men In the field and one-half of these , lie believes , will be required to guard the- tow mi , forts , etc. In connection with the warlike aspect ol affairs In Europe and South Africa , It h significantly announced that Lord Wolsley , the Brltlfl'i ccmmnnder-ln-chlef , accompanied by his alde-do-camp , will soon start for Gib raltar , In order to Inspect that fortress , The details of President Kruger's claim against Great Britain for Indemnity as a re sult of the Transvaal raid , are now defi nitely known.

It has come to the knowledge of the State department that General Julio Sangullly te now at Jackson ville , Fla. , and that hla followers have given out the Impression that the general Is about to bead on expedition to Cuba. Secretary Sherman was asked what the United States government would do IP. case this Impres sion were well founded. . In reply ho t ! d that In the first place he did not believe Sangullly would do any such thing. His reason for this belief was the fact that be ( Secretary Sherman ) held In his possession n written pledge made by Sangullly In re. turn tor tbe exercise of thu good offices of this government In securing his release from Imprisonment , not to have any connec tion in any manner wltb the Cuban .troubles , Tlio Spanish government also held a similar pledge , and In addition Sangullly had prom ised not to return to Cuba without Its con sent. If Sa'iigullly ' violated the obligations he had thus a&tumed the State department , Mr. Sherman eald , would uot Interfere fur ther for bis prptcctlon , no matter nbat be fell him , and It would have nothing further to do with him , MiiiiHolm School < liifn4luii.

" Regarding tlio eluteinent attributed to the conservatives ot Quebec , that Mgr. Del Val , Iho papal delegate to Canada , Is powerless to take up the question ot Interference of the bUbopa In elections , It U pointed out In Catholic circles here that Mgr. Del Val will be unable to.settle the Manitoba tchool ques tion until after settling th ? question ot the blehojM' interference In elections , as Ihewe two ItJBiiee , It in claimed , are really Insepa rable and the papal delegate has th most ample powers to settle both ijuetj'.lons.

( Copyright , 1E07 , by the Afroclateil Prce . ) LONDON , April 3. H Is Just a montl slnco the so-called concert of the power threatened the blockade of Crete , which ha proved qulto Ineffectual , -being contlnuall ; evaded , and today the anaivhi : 'In Crete am the confusion In European councils nri woroo than before. The replies of the par llamcntary secretary for the foreign office ti Inquiries on the subject show It to bo by m means certain that all the powers havi actually agreed to blockade the Grcel ports. The latest news Indicates that Franei and Italy are still adveiue to this course. The fact Is that the powers' distrust o each other reduces them to 'Impotence. ' Nom of them wants a general war , nobody bclni able to forcseo what Its eventual restil would be. It Is believed that Russia am Germany , and perhaps Austria , want a local Ized war , hoping that Turkey , being vlctorl ous , will lay Greece at the mercy of Euro pean dictation. In the meantime the tw < combatants , as well as the powers , hcsltati to Incur the odium ot commencing the con fllct. Germany's attitude In setting on the othei powers , while herself abstaining from an ; actlvo share In the struggle , Is unlversall ; condemned as being disgraceful diplomat ! betrayal. Russia Is evidently playing he own game , and while willing to send ti Crete whatever trcops the other powers sug gest , hopes that the blockade of Greece wll Incite the Greeks to hostile action on thi frontier , something that seems to bo' ex tremely probable , as the- king of Greeci stoutly maintains hia original determination and-tho premier , M. Delyannls , declares tha nothing will prevent war If the powers per slst In refusing their cons-ent to the'uhloi ot Crete and Greece. Russia Is confident tha Greece will lose the first battle and tha Bulgaria and Servla will not move cxcep at Russia's orders. ASK FOR INSTRUCTIONS. .Tho ftdnjlralsot the fon-lgn Jlects In Cre tan waters contlnuo dally asking , for deflnlt Instructions trom their respective govern ments. They have urgently advised the ap polntmont of a Burcgean governor , as the ; are Incapable of ruling the Island. It Js a remarkable fact that Colonel "Vas sos and the Greeks Inspire the greates sympathy among all tba foreign correspondents onts , the futile measures ot the power being dally denounced. Mr. Gladstone has written another lettc on Cretan affairs and wltb. reference to th concert of Europe. Ho says that the attl tude ot the powers recalls the days of Oas tlorcagh and Netternlcs , when Greece wa ; unable to buy armaments In Europe ci credit , while Turkey had no difficulty what ever In doing so. It is statoJ that Greece will try to rats an Internal loan of 1,000,000. The reports that Greek Insurgents have al ready crossed the Macedonian frontier tun out to bo Incorrect. A well Informed diplomat at Vienna deClares Clares that the powers are determined ti maintain the blockade of Greece if that na tlon declares war and thus deprive her of 0111 of her mcst formidable means of attack. A report from Athens says that a son o Admiral Harris , the British commander li Cretan waters , has arrived there as a vol unteer. It Is understood' that Russia has stoppet Turkey's negotiations to sell the Island ol Crete to Grceco by a threat to occupy Ana tolla If the negotiations are persisted In.

Admiral Cane- varo , the Italian admiral , In command of the fleets of the powers , yesterday authorized the Insurgents and their families to quit the Akrotlrl peninsula and proceed Inland , where they would bo In a better position to obtain food supplies than In the heights of Akrotlrl. Confiding In this authoriza tion , the Insurgents and their famllks , driv ing their cattle , descended from the heights of Akrotirl , with the Intention of moving Inland. As soon as they reached the plain , however , flre was op ned upon them at fi. range of 200 yards by 2,000 Bashl bazouks. The Turkish force was largely composed of refugees from the garrison at Sellno , who , In splto of the promise made to the repre sentatives of the powers , have been re armed by the Turkish governor , As soon as the Bashl bazouks began firing on the Insurgents the latter returned the flro and killed Bomo of their assailants. The International forces did not take a stop to prevent this collision , wiflch might have resulted In the massacre of large num bers of women and children , to say nothing of the Insurgents , who had moved from a practically Impregnable position down to an exposed plain , firm In the belief that the foreign admirals bad guaranteed them a eafe passage across the plains to the hills Inland , where the Bashl bazouks would not dare to follow them. The foreign war ships In Suda bay did not flro a shot to check the onslaught , although It was Impocslblo for the ofllcera to be Ignorant of the fact that fighting was In progress around the iftfld which bad left the fastnesses of Akrotlrl , to all Intents and purposes under the guaranty of the great powers of IJurope , Finally , when It was no longer possible to Ignore the attack ot the Bashl bazouks , orders were cent to tbo International forces ashore to proceed to the disarmament of the Turks. These Instructions , however , were sent too late to be of avail. After the lighting , a force of British Bailers ors was landed to hold the Mussulmans In check. The latter are known to have lost heavily , and already fifty killed and wounded bave been brought bere. All the Mutsul- rnans , on reaching the fortified Hats out- tide the town , coming back Jrotn the fight , were dlnrmcd by the 'Itallnn "tailors and gendarmes. ' ' _ | HANOTAtl.X ON CBHTA > AVTAIHS.

The leaders of the unionists for thcli part are mcst anxious to meet a vote of cen sure , because they are sure of defeating II by their own undivided strength , together with the support of half a dozen liberals whc agree with Lord Roscbery In his unqualified approval of Lord Salisbury's action. Thin ap proval by a big majority will not only re habilitate the ministers In the eyes of the country for past proceedings , but will ( strengthen tbclr hands In pursuing their own line , regardless of radical protests. Sir Wil liam Harcourt has been deterred from mov ing a vote of censure sotfar , despite the provocation of the challenges of Mr. Balfour , by knowledge of this fact , but his radical followers have now badgered him Into the undertaking already mentioned. MAKES IT A FAMILY AFFAIR. Even should the Cretan trouble not rcault % In war , It will vbryprobably cause estrange ments , between members of the principal European" royal families. It Is currently re ported" now In political and diplomatic clr- cloo here that In the psst fortnight Qucsn Victoria has been especially active In bchall of Greece , being Influenced In that direction by 'Empress Frederick , who | n turn Is In- Jtyfs'e'd ' for tie | Greek royal family on ac- pupi.pf her daughter , the duchess of Sparta : The German emperor deeply resonta the -In- tcrferoncs of his English mother , and .If. Ic said that ho hao had very angry corre spondence with her and his sister , the wife of the crown prince of Greece , who hat warmly upbraided him for his antagonism tc the causa with which her husband's family Is Identified" . Then , on the other side , tbo princess ol Wales and the king- and queen of Denmark , King George's sister and parents , have been energetically Interceding with the czar In the Interest of the king of Greece. Dut It I ; declared that the czar , while personally de sirous of aiding Greece , and especially Prince George , who saved his life In Japan , finds It Impossible to resist the fixed policy of Ms advisers except ! at the rlak of a crisis which ho hesitates to provoke. The czar'a royal relatives , therefore , are as angry with him for his supine acqulcsenco In a Turkophlle policy toward not only his own blood rela- tlona but against a people professing the religion of which he claims to be the head , as they are at the German emperor for his actlvo antagonism. CZAR FAVORED BY ENGLAND. When the present czar's father died ha left bonds valued at 170,000 ( $850,000) ) , deposited - posited In the Dank of England , which In the ordinary course should h.ave paid about $50,000 death duty to the British treasury , but the Russian minister applied officially to Lord Roaebery , then the foreign secretary , for exemption from duty for the czar's per sonality In this country. Sir William liar- court , as chancellor of the exchequer , as- eented after the matter had been discussed by the cabinet , although he personally woa averse to making this exception. The cab inet really was Induced to take that course by Lord Roscbery on the representation that a refusal might Jeopardize the Initiation of better relations between the two nations. Though this arrangement was effected two years ago , It was only discovered accidentally this week by Mr. Gibson Bowles , in the dis charge of hie duty as a member of the public accounts committee at the House of Com mons. Further Investigation establishes the fact that the exemption made for the Rus sian emperor Is a new precedent , for when on the death of the last king of Portugal his government applied for a similar concession on his English personality It was refused. The czar's ' case will bo dlscuescd In Parlia ment on motion of Mr , Labouchcro , whose hostility to the exemption la not modified by the circumstance that was made at tbo In stigation of hla bete noire , Lord Rosebcry. OLD GLORY WILL PROTECT THEM. Referring to an allegation made In a letter to the Times that the powers haveno right to blockade Athens to foreign ships when war with Greece has not been declared , the Lon don'Chronicle today repeats its advice to American shipowners to Ignore the blockade , "Let the friends of Greece arrange with ehlps carrying the American flag , " It says , "to defy both the Cretan and Athenian blockade , and let us ECO what the powers will Jo when they are confronted wltb a power , 3tio of the most powerful In the world , they cannot bully with Impunity , The State de partment In Washington has reserved Its right to nay , as It ban always eald before , that against Its flag In tlmo of peace such a Blockade Is nothing but an act of piracy , Insurance rates on an American steamer which would boldly carry food to Crete or ordinary merchandise to Athens , should not , 10 lon/oa law Is law , bo high.

( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The World's fashion correspondent furnishes the follow ing btory , with more definite details OB to the persons concerned than I care to send before the matter comes Into court , and which I therefore omitted : A society Hcutulnl which la coming out In Mny will nrouse n Kreiit Jcnl of attention , us nil the people In It are so well known. . There Is u rich young man who hns nboul 20,000 a yenr , wlio Is bringing nn notion iinnlnst a popular young nobleman < uul de clares that he was Induced to sign two paper * without having1 any Idta us tc their contents. Ho believed , In fnct , so he say * , that he was simply witnessing some culinary deeds and asserts he was horrified when he discovered that by signing he had made himself liable for two largo sitms of n.cney , thu smallest of which wr.s 13,000. The youns nobleman declares that this la a , libel , and so the matter must stand until It Is threshed out thoroughly In court. In the meantime , the young nobleman Is , to use modern phraseology , quite "stone broke- , " and his father Is paying oft some of his liabilities on the understanding that ho will henceforth live abroad. The whole trouble seems to lie In the fact that society people here , however poor , are never con tent unless they arc quite In the swim , and to be In the swim costs soma thousands u year , even when you have a heap of rich frlendj ami urc made much of because you uro smart. Mr. Astor seems to bo dHermlned to mnko at least an advertising success of his after noon publication , The Pall Mall Gazette. Ho Is printing -under the appearance of contri butions by Autoclijs flagrant lines of puffs of the broadest character of London res taurants. Theguejtreportcr Is ah\ay represented as a flighty noblewoman or an jVmerlcaa lady , and , . Invariably , a gourmands. Yet the Gazette constantly abuses American newspapers for lack of dignity. UOT ABOUT SPORT. The Dally Mall prints a story that some London sportsmen , dlngustcd that the big game has been nearly all killed off In Africa and India , "have In contemplation crossing the Atlantic early in the autumn this year to try their hand at shooting one of the flest-fst and wariest of big game , the wild horse. It Is estimated here that there are more than 2,003,000 wild horses In the Rocky Mountain ranges , and that they have become a terrible nuisance , so that the killIng - Ing of thorn Is a great benefit to Utah , as the slaughter of rabbits Is to Australia , " and so on , for half a column more. If the United States 'congress can pit a team of chess players anything above the average against the House of Commons team In the projected cable tournament , the for mer may feel pretty confident of the result of the contest. The two best House of Com mon players are John Howard Parnell and Horace Plunkett , both of whom , by tha way , were long residents In the United States. Qnly two weeks back a elites tour nament took place between seven members of the house and aeven parliamentary Jour nalists , In which the latter were defeated by four games to two , one game b-lng drawn. As there are only about twenty skilled chess players among the parlia mentary Journallats as against 150 among the members , the result of this tournament seems to Indicate that the chess play among the latter Is not exceptionally high. SOME PURELY PERSONAL GOSSIP. The Mall ( newspaper ) Is booming halt satirically , but dally , Mrs. Bradley Martin as the future leader of London society , re turning from her Now York triumph , I expect shortly to have an engagement to announce which will Interest both sides of the Atlantic In an unusual way , as this time , by way of variety , the man Is an American and the woman English , Captain Cowlet has gone home , and there. Is much Interest as to who will succeed him as naval attache to the American cmbaeay here. The position of military attache Is also still unfilled. Mrs. Cowles , formerly Miss Roosevelt , and sister of the police com missioner , will sail on the St. Paul April 24. Mrs. George Curzon spends euch of her time as she spares from listening to her husband's efforts to answer harrying ques tions In Parliament on Cietc , at Lady Henry Somerset's beautiful house at Relgate , which the Curzons have taken. Lady Naylor Lsyland seenia to have re covered her social position , which was quite lost for a tlmo after her husband's desertion of the conservative party. She has been present at about every reception to royalty it Cannes or Monte Carlo , Hon. Klla Scarlett , the elder sister of roung Lord Ablnger , and daughter of former Mlsa Magruder of the United .States , has aegun to study surgery at the London hos pital. The will of John Dlddulph Martin , the ranker who married Mrs. Victoria Wood- lull and lived In splendid style at Hyde [ 'ark Gate , has not been presented for pro- jate , but ho undoubtedly left the bulk of its great fortune to his widow. She still idlta a magazine of very broad tendencies.

CHOCKEH Ninth Ward GKOHQE MERCKK This ticket was nominated by the repub licans of Omaha at the convention 'held ' In. the Board of Trade rooms last night. Ttio proceedings were uneventful , except the con tests for the mayoralty and tax commls- eloner , the personnel of the remainder ot the ticket being easily detormlnoJ. Franlc E. Moores was nominated for 'mayor after a clcso.and exciting struggle , \vhlch proir.'lsed to result In a prolonged deadlock until the fourth ballot , when the Third ward went from -Broatch to Moores and made him their man. The longest light was over ( ho tax commlssloncTshlp and It was won by Fred Sackett , who had apparently dropped out of the race on 1Kb' sucond ballot. Aaldo from such confusion as 'was1 unavoidable * from the Inadequate otzc of ttlo hall aud the consequent crowding of tbo delegates , the conventlcin was devoid of the ohjectloa- able features of sorao poHtlcal gatherings. The convention was called to order promptly at 7:30 : o'clock by Chairman E. P. Davis of the City Central committee , but It required some tlmo to get tbo delegates scaled In the closely-ciowded hall. Till a was finally accomplished and the prelim inary proceedings wcro quickly completed. Chairman Davis announced that ho would leave the selection of a temporary chair man to the convention. A. S. Churchill nominated B. F. Thomaf. of the Seventh ward and ho was named without opposition. Ho excused hlmeelt from a speech , and George II. Hcas was made temporary secretary. On motion of Harry Urome the delegates were declared seated In tha absenco"of con tests , and Jchn C. Wharton moved that the temporary organization 'be ' made permanent. This was carried by a u.ianlmous vote. ALL HEADY FOR TUB START. Louis Bcrka moved that all nominating speeches 'bo barred and the convention pro ceed to ballot -Informally for mayor. Harry Brorao amended to make It a formal ballot , and the amendment prevailed. The roll was called and the First ward raised tha flrbt cheer by casting Its solid vote for Frank E. Moorca. Ona delegate protested and his vote was changed to Broatch. The Second ward cast nine for Broatch , but E. M. Stenbcrg Insisted on his right la cast his vote for Moorus. This made It nlno apiece. The Third ward cast Bsven for Broatch and two for Moores and a poll ruvcaled no change. The Fourth ward cast Its full vote for Moores and the Fifth gave Broatch' , 7 ; Moores , 2. The Sixth gave Moores eight of Its nlno votes and th9 Seventh went for Chaffee. The Eighth gave Broatch one and Moores eight , and the Ninth , Broatch six ; Monrce , one ; Akin , one ; 'Saundcrs , one. The result was : Broatch , 33 ; Moores , 30 ; Chaffco , 10 ; Saundcrs , 1 ; Akin , 1 , There wns no choice and another ballot was ordered. There was no change except ono vote from Moorcs to Sflundcru In the Fifth , and one from Akin to Saunders In the Ninth. On the third ballot Broatch gained ono of Saundcrn' votcn In the Ninth ward , and th count stood : Rroatch , 31 ; Moores , 35 ; Chat- fee , 11 ; Saunders , 1 , , WHERE THE BREAK CAME. On the next ballot tlio Third ward changed five votes from Broatch to Moores and tha enthusiasm of his followers ran riot In pro longed cheers. The First , Eighth and Ninth changed a vote apiece In the same direction ind the fight was won. Two or three other lelegates hastened to fall Into the band * ivagon and the count was : Moores , 45J [ Iroatch , 20 ; Chaffed , S ; Saundcre , 1. John C , Wharton proposed three cheers Tor Mnorcs and they wer ? given with a will , while the Broatch delegates Bat ullent la : helr Beats.

I. R , Andrews then moved that the noml- latlon of Mr. Moored lie made unanimous , rho motion prevailed , the Broatch and ; haffeo delegations remaining ullent. There were calls for Broatch and Chaffeo iut neither of them appeared and notnlna- loim for comptroller were called for.
