BERLIN out LETTER
Emperor William Is Furious Over the
Newspaper‘llevelations.
HE BEGS BISMARCK TO QUIT.
But the Prince Practically Defies the
Kaiser and Says That He Must Be-
tain the Right of Free Speech.
The Dueling Crisis.
BERLIN. Nov. ESL—Public attention dur-
ing the week has been almost entirely ab-
sorbed by the rcichstag debates, and the
politicians are convinced that the state-
ments of Prince Hohenlohe, the chancellor,
and the minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Marschall von Bieberstein, on the subject
of the foreign policy of Germany have had
an excellent effect and have removed the
suspicions of her allies.
Count Herbert Bismarck’s.denial in the
reichstag that he has given interviews to
newspaper men during the past five years
is hardly credited in political circles, and
there is excellent authority for saying that
he did give an interview containing some
of the recent revelations in Schoenhausen.
The count went to Friedrichsruhe imme-
diately after Monday’s session of the niche-
tag and made a full report to his father on
the present attitude of the emperor’iand
the government regarding the revelations,
and it is stated that a plan was agreed upon
to continue the ’neWSpaper disclosures.
As a first result the Leipsic Neucste N ach~
richten has published a statement that
Italy entered into a secret agreement with
Russia in 1891 similar to the Russo-Ger-
man alliance.
Bismarck Defles the Kaiser.
Emperor William is said to be furious at
these revelations, but he sees no way of
stopping them. His aid-de-camp, Count
von Moltke, went to Friedrichsruhe on
Tuesday with instructions to beg Prince
Bismarck to cease his campaign on the
ground that it was calculated to seriously
injure Germany politically, but Prince
Bismarck replied that he must retain the
right of free speech and of ventilating his
opinions. ,
The Frankfort Zeitung threatens to
formally prefer charges of high treason
against the Hamburger Nachrichten with
the state attorney of Hamburg. . This is
intended to Checkmate the government’s
proceedings to force The Zeitung to di-
vulge the name of its informant of unau-
thorized parliamentary laws recently pub-
lished.
Some of the Liberal newspapers, the
Vossische Zeitung, for instance, predict a
parliamentary conflict with the govern-
ment this session, and if the govern-
ment insists upon a large increase in the
naval budget, as projected, the dissolution
of the reichstag is inevitable. The Radical
and Center parties are already discussing
the probability of this course and are pre-
paring to make a hard election fight.
The Dueling Crisis.
* One of his majesty’s adjutants attended
the dueling debate in the reichstag, took
copious notes and reported to the emperor
personally. The latter took particular no-
tice of Herr Lenzmann’s menacing speech.
The Radical and Liberal newspapers are
very outspoken in their comments on the
conflicting declarations of Prince Hohen-
lobe and the minister for war, General von
Gossler, the former declaring that dueling
must be suppressed and that all classes of
the population must conform with the
law, while the latter maintained the re-
verse. Gcneral von Gossler is understood
to have expressed the views of the emperor.
A mass meeting Was held in Berlin to-
day to protest against the dueling nuisance
pnd in favor of withdrawing the military
class privileges. A petition to the same
efi'ect, with 500,000 signatures, will be
submitted to the reichstag.
Strict searches have been made this
week in nearly all the Prussian garrison
towns, owing to large quantities of Social-
istic literature having been smuggled into .
, the barracks. Thousands of Socialistic and;
anarchistic pamphlets were seized at Dantv .
ale.
Worrying the Government.
The government has decided to take
severe administrative measures in order to
' counteract the steadily increasing treason-
able agitation in Polish Prussia and Posen,
and a strong Polish faction in the diet is
preparing a systematic opposition'to the
government, beginning by questioning the
right of the government to change the
provincial colors of Posen.
An anonymous pamphlet entitled “An-
other Open Letter tO the Kaiser” has ap-'
peared at Leipsic. It warns his majesty
against the present foreign and internal
policy of Germany. The pamphlet has been
seized in‘Prussia. ’ 9
A fact much remarked is that on the
eve of the opening of the Prussian diet the
emperor went hunting, leaving Prince
Hohenlohe to read the speech from the
throne, contrary to his majesty’s custom.
The explanation is that the emperor is so
upset at the Bismarck revelations that he
is in no fit frame of mind for a formal,
- quiet throne speech.
The Princess of Pless, whose husband is
a favorite of the emperor, is heading a
curious movement. She has requested,
through advertisements in the newspapers,
all English women married to Germans,
of no matter what social station, to join in
a movement to destroy by every permissi-
ble means such pamphlets and newspaper
articles as are exciting anglophobism in
Germany.
The Manitoba School Question.
MONTREAL, Nov. 23.-—The attitude of
the French Canadian press toward the
terms of the Manitoba school settlement is
repugnant. La Minerveuj. the only French
morning paper in Montreal. comments ed-
itorially in a. very bitter strain on the
terms of the settlement. It accuses Mr.
Laurier of having made a “disgraceful
capitulation to the Manitoba bigots and
threatens that the settlement as announced
will not be accepted by the Manitoba Cath-
olic minority and that their refusal will
be backed up by Catholic Quebec.

Maceo an Inglorious Fizzie.
KEY WEST, Nov. 23.—Some passengers
who arrived from Havana last night re-
port that it is currently admitted in Cuba
§THE HOME_Sll_lD III.
that General Weyler has failed in hiscanz- '
paign against Maceo.
ThOugh no accurate data is obtainable
as to ‘the latter’s movements, all reports
agree that he has divided his forces int: .
small bands, which harass Spanish troops,
but present no chance for pitched battles
!
or decisive results.
Weyler’s marches have been painful, and
his soldiers have suffered great hardships.
In consequence» 1,1300 soldiers have been
sent to Ca‘ndelaria sick.
Most of the members of General Wey-
ler’s staff are ill and are returning to Ha- , _
' the agricultural department will recom-
establish headquarters near Artemisa, at ‘
vana. He also is falling back and will
the estate of Pilar, which he claims is a
better base of operations.
The Spaniards in Havana are indignant
at Weyler’s inabilityto crush the insurrec-
tion in Pinar del Rio, and mutterings are
heard. General Pando, who is coming
with new re-enforcements, is indicated as
Weyler’s possible successor. All are de-
spondent in Havana and consider the out-
look gloomy.
Insurgents in other sections Of the‘is-
land continue active. It is said that the
important town of Victoria de las Tunas,
in Santiago province, is besieged by a
strong force of insurgents.
The train starting from Cardenas yester-
day was obliged to return on account of
large masses of rebels crossing the line.
They are said to be the vanguard of Go-
mez, who is reported already in Santa
Clara province, marching west.
ALOOHOL IN THE ARTS.
The Joint Commission Now Ready to Hear
' Arguments Upon Taxation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-—Senator Platt
of Connecticut, who is chairman of the
joint cOmmission of the two houses of con-
gress appointed at the last session to in-
vestigate the question of the taxation of
alcohol used in the arts, said today that
the commission would meet at 12 o’clock
tomorrow for the purpose of beginning its
work and that it would probably continue
its sittings until the convening of congress,
though whether in this city would depend
upon circumstances.
The committee will also take up all the
questions bearing upon the use of alcohol
in the arts and manufactures and will
give especial attention to the administra-
tion Of any law relieving from taxation al-
cohols so used. The principal objection
to the provision in the Wilson bill provid-
ing for a rebate of the tax. which was re-
pealed when the commission was appoint-
ed, was based upon the difliculty Of admin-
istering the law so as to avoid fraud upon
the government.

Secretary of Agriculture Morton De-l
nounces the Statute.
ASKS THAT IT, BE REPEALED.
He Says That Its
Keep Farm Values Down—His Bec-
ommendation Will Preoipitate
a Hot Fight In Congress.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.—In his forth-
coming annual report Secretary Morton of
mend the repeal of‘the homestead law.
Mr. Morton attributes the decline in
farm values to the operations of this law
and sets forth ,many reasons why the free
distribution of land by this government
should be discontinued. This is certainly
the most important recommendation con-
tained in the report of any cabiget officer
and will be certain to call forth heated dis-
cussion when laid before congress by the
president in his annual message.
Secretary Morton goes very fully into a
discussion of the operation of the home-
stead law and its eflect upon farm values.
The latter have declined steadily for ten
years past, and Secretary Morton demon-
strates clearly that it has been impossible
to maintain the value of farm property
when millions Of acres were being distrib-
uted without cost by the federal govern-
ment.
During the 30 years the law has been in
operation, beginning in 1866, 2,000,000
farms have been taken up on homestead
claims, none of them less than 80 acres in
extent and many including 160 acres.
The Swamp Lands Act.
Under the provisions of the timber cul-
ture act 500,000 gifts of land have been
recorded, while fully 500.000 more farms
have been secured through the operations
of the desert land act. The swamp lands
act has also placed millions Of acres at the
disposal of the various states. This vast
amount of land thrown open to cultivation
without cost of purchase to the possessors
has naturally operated to lessen the value
of land in the older sections Of the country.
Before the enactment of the homestead
law, Mr. Morton states, a farm was a fixed
investment, secured through unremitting
toil on the part of the owner and repre-
senting thrift and industry. Since the
homestead law went into effect, however,
and especially during the past ten years,
farm values have declined steadily, owing
to the cheapening effect of the free distri-
bution of land by the federal government.
Every farm given away by the government
has lost a competitive purchaser of farm
lands and has redu'ri d the cost of all land.
It would be equally impossible, he claims,
to keep up the value of any commodity
when comeptition is destroyed by free dis-
tribution.
“'ill Be Bitteriy Assailed.
This recommendation by Secretary Mor-
ton is certain to be bitterly assailed in
congress. While farm values may have
been generally reduced by the law, it will
be cl aimed on the other hand that many
benefits have been secured by the Opera-
tions of the law and that the opening up
of the great west has been due to the vast
amount of land thrown open to settlement
under the provisions of this law. Nearly
all the available land, moreover, has been
taken up, and the repeal of the law at this
time should have no retroactive efi'ect in
pulling up the value of farm lands.
The report shows further that the agri-
cultural exports of this country increased
$17,000,000 during the past fiscal year, but
this increase has been 4 per cent less than
the average increase of exports.- This, how-
ever, has been due to the fact that the ex-
ports Of this country not agricultural in-
creased during the last fiscal year from
81 84,000,000 to $228, 000,000,0r 844, 000,000,
the greatest increase ever recorded in the
history of this country.
Mr. Morton also takes up the subject of
free seed distribution and scoffs at it.
Thirty carloads of seeds were purchased
last year, and the appropriation for this
year calls for 60 carloads, an increase in
cost from $74,000 to $148,000. The seed
distributed last year would, it is estimat—
ed, plant a strip one rod wide four times
around the earth.

Towns utmxiucston and Cataldo Sufi-
mérged+Farmen Suil'er glasses.
SroxANn, Nov. 21.—The condition of
the submerged Coeur d’Alene country
grows more serious each day. All the’
.wagonbridges between Wallace and Ward-
ner are washed away and several railroad
bridges are gone. At Kingston the people
are. huddled together in a schoolhouse.
The houses are all afloat. The situation
at Cataldo is even worse than at Kingston.
The town is completely submerged, and
there are no boats. In the second story of
one house 18 persons are huddled together,
their hogs and chickens occupying the low-
er part. 'ihe Northern Pacific bridge is
sprung 13 inches'out of place, and 100
cords of driftwood or more is lodged
against the center pier. .
Great losses have been suffered by the
meadow farmers. The entire crops of hay
have been washed away, together with
barns, outbuildings and homes. The
Northern Pacific betw'een Mission and
Wallace is all washed out and box-cars are
floating in thelwater. The food supply in
Coeur d’Alene is short, but so far there
has been no actual suffering. ' It will be
some time before provisions can be taken
in.
The situation on the Great Northern
railroad has not been overdrawn in the
least. Railroad men and others who have
traveled over the flooded regions corrobo-
rate in every particular the reports Of the
complete blockade of .that road. One of
the most prominent business men of this
city said he was informed at Index that
Great Northern passenger train NO. ‘8, due
here on last Friday morning, was tied up
near Wellington; that first class passen-
ger.c were vupplied with half rations from
the dining car, while second class passen-
ger: pro-cu ed food from Wellington. Mr.
McC .rt lay, a merchant of Sultan City, says
thepp..ssenger train was 'still there ‘ yester-
day morning and that the food for passen-
gers was obtained from nearby towns. As
to the damage to Great Northern property,
Edwin H. Warner, a reputable engineer
who has been several days getting out of
the 110: ded district, confirms the reports.
A CHINESE-AMERICAN RAILROAD.
American Money “‘ill‘ Build the Line
Between Peking and Canton.
VANCOUVER, Nov. 21.—A. Spitzel of
Chicago, who is closely identified with the
projected American-Chinese railway be-
tween Peking and Canton, has arrived here
from the orient and took the first train to
Seattle, to return home via the Northern
Pacific. ,
Mr. Spitzel says that the Tsung Li
Yamen has received a secret edict appoint-
ing Sheng Taotai director general of rail-
ways and granting him permission to con-
struct the Hankcw-Canton-Souchow line.
It also authorizes him to borrow 20,000,-
000 taels, 10,000.000 taels to be furnished
by the Tsung Li Yamen, the northern su-
perintendencies to furnish 3,000,000 taels
and the southern superintendencies to fur-
nish 7,000,000 taels. About 40,000,000
taels will be required for the construction
of the lines. Native materials must be
employed as far as possible on the Hankow
lines, but foreign engineers may be en-
gaged. Sheng Taotai is the head Of the
telegraph administration in China. Mr.
Spitzel says that the railway will certainly
be built, and with American money and
largely with American material. The road
cannot be proceeded with until next sea-
son, but will be started as soon as the
Pihho river is free from ice.

up to this time I have no intimation from
him or anybody else that a cabinet place is
going to be Offered to me.”

news received from Cuba and the Philip-
pines being of such a character as to en-
courage a rising of the islanders.’
The defenses of the island are being

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21.—-Captain E.
H., Sterling, master of the American ship
Patrician, arrived on the steamship Ala-

cane. Sail after sail was blo‘wn away and
the decks were flooded. The mizzenmast
snapped Off short and carried away half the
mainmast. For a short time the foremast
stood and ,the lower topsail on the main-
mast held. Then the storm renewed its
strength and tore the lower topsail out of
the bolt ropes and carried away part of
the foremast. The Patrician began to leak,
and Captain Sterling set the American
flag, union down, at the foremast. All the
boats were gone, and when the crew had
given up the British steamship Fifeshire
hove in stint, lowered a boat and rescued
them. The Patrician was abandoned on
