unable to make the opinion of Lasker adopted
by the American house Of representatives my
own. My desire ia that the good relations
which have existed between the two countries
for century may still continue. Ny action
was forced upon me by the abuse to which I
was subjected here at home, as q consequence OF
the vote of the house of representatives of
Prussia, which has withstood all the tempta-
tions from other powers to interfere in the
affairs of America and to recognize the south
ern states. Indeed Prussia might claim the
merit of having prevented such recognition by
the benevolent attitude she maintained.
Bismarck thus closed. DR.. Hoenel of the
university of Kiel, who is leading progressist
and who took prominent part
in the incidental debate apropos
the Lasker affair some days ago took the floor
and said: 1T is matter of profound regret
that Bismarck should have uttered nv single
word in praise of Lasker. The people are accus-
toned to reserve reproof for the living. Why
has Bismarck not spared the dead?" The Chan
cellor retorted that he had not sat in judgment
on the dead, but those who had tried to tlorify
the deceased had done so. DR.. Hoenel urged
that the friendly sentiments of the resolution
should have been recognized without too care
fully weighing the words in which they were
expressed. Bismarck contended that the ex-
change of sentiments between the parliaments
Was highly inappropriate, but he added, "Dr
Hoenel, if he SO pleased, could introduce mo-
tion conveying the thanks Of the reichstag to
the house of representatives for its expression
of sympathy" The appearance of Bismarck in
tire reicbstag is generally attributed to his desire
to maintain friendship with America.

A Playful Texan,

SAN ANTONIO, March IA Misunderstanding
occurred last nighN in the Harriet theater, be.
tween the notorious Ben Thompson and two
men named Fisher and Foster. By the inter-
vention of friends the men were apparently
pacifed and left the theater, Thompson and
Fisher going out together and repairing to q
saloon where they drank together and returned
to the thea.er, as also did Foster, whom they
met. in the dressssc Some words we're ex-
changed, bringing about a melee, during which
Thompson and Fisher were killed and Foster
probably mortslly wounded. The circle was
quickly cleared by the occupants jumping into
the parquette below and through the side win
dnws into the ct eet. No one seems to know
who fred the first shot or how many were en-
gagged in the shooting. The remains of the two
victims were taken in charge by a host
of friends and obsequies have
been ordered on the grandest scale,
regardless of expense. The tbeater where the
affray occurred was tho scene last year of the
killing by Thompson of Jack Harris, then pro-
prietor of the place. Fisher and Thompson
were probably the two most desperate and widely
known men in Texas, snd have each killed q
fabulous number of their fellow citizens.
Thompson received four wounds, all mortal,
and Fisher three, two of which would haye
caused instant death. The theater where this
tragic scene was enacted ia at the corner If Mill
tary Place. lower part of the building was
occupied as saloon and gambling
room, both of which were ran on
the wide-open plan. The upper room
was used for a Vaudeville theatre. formerly
known as "Harris place."
Jack Harris the owner was killed two years
ago by Thompson, one of the victims of this
affray. For this Thompson was tried and &C.
quilted. Thompson was one of the best known
characters in Texss. He was formerly marshall
a. Austin, during which time he killed his man,
and as in the Harris case, he escaped punish
ment. His most recent exploit previous to
his death was q few weeks ago when
he adjourned q cattle convention at the muzzle

The Express Robber Caught.

The Express RObber Caught.
MILWAUKEE, March 13-Prentiss Tiller, the
Pacific Express company's agent at St. Louis,
who decamped With nearly 100000 few weeks
ego, WAS arrested at 10 o'clock this morning by a
Milwaukee detective and $50, 900 of the money
recovered. A young man looking like a tramp,
with small mustache, brown hair, slight build,
unobtrusive features, and about one hundred
and thirty pounds in weight, bought trunk at
the store of Carpets l. Schram on Tuesday, and
asked to have it shipped to @. II. Pachen, De-
troit, Michigan. He left valise which he asked
to have placed inside the trunk to save him the
trouble of carrying it. When about to put the
valise in the trunk the clerk dropped it and the
clasp burst asunder, the balging contents rolling
out upon the floor. On gathering up the bundles
he found them wrapped in Pacific Express con-
pany's labels, and a close examination disclosed
that every package contained prize, the total
amounting to nearly 800 600. The police were
notified and with description
of the man, traced him to a cheap
boarding house in the third ward, but he was not
at home. Tney found his trunk and seized it,
as the boarding house people said the man was
frequently cut all night. The police continued
the search in the city, ioking he must be on a
spree. This morning he returned to the trunk
etore to ask about the valise and was arrested.
He has been at the third ward boarding house
since March 9Th, but it is not known whether or
not he boarded any where else before that. Be-
sides the money there was a large amount of
valuable jewelry in the valise. The money WIS
placed in the Merchants Exchange bank.
After being arrested crowd gathered at the
central police station but the prisoner was
carefully guarded and could not be interviewed
except very briefly. He was led into saying
that he had an accomplice but at the same
time added thai it remained for the company to
prove that he stole the money. He was very
happy and proposed to the police to shut the
outer doors and charge the crowd an admission
price to see him a. a curiosity. He was iden-
titled by Chicago and St. Louis agents who were
in the city having been called from Chicago last
night when the money was found.

SUAKIM, March l3-The rebels opened Fl e on
Gen. Graham forces at one o'clock this morn
ing. The British forces at once formed to repel
the charge, but no attack came The men were
ordered to lie down again. The fire of the rebels
continued all night, but the British did not re-

and one man killed. Fighting began at day

THE WAGE QUESTION.
What the Pittsburg Manufacturers Think
Of 1.-THE Association Active.

What the Pittsburg Manufacturers Think
of 1.-THE Association Active.
The manufacturers at Pittsburg say the
ironworkers who are members Of the Anal
gamated Association must submit TO re-
duction next year or there will be shut
down Of all mills. The scale is not signed
until next June, yet the question of wages
is being freely discussed. President
Weihe, of the Amslgamated Associa-
ton, left for the East several weeks
ago and nothing has been given out by the
members of the association as regards the
object of his trip, except that it was strictly
on business for the association. Yesterday
it was learned that Mr.. Weihe was working
up the order in the east and is making
desperate effort to get all the ironworkers
INTO the association before the scale is pre-.
sented next year. The eastern district is
said TO be the weakest point in the organ
ization. A large number Of the New Eng
land mills are now being run with
ncn-union men. A prominent Pittsburg
manufacturer said yesterday afternoon
that he did not see how the iron men of his
district could ask for the present prices next
year. The price Of pudding was from
1925 to $3.SS in the east, while the west
ern manufacturers had been compelled to
90 business at disadvantage from this
reason He says there are number OF
mills in his city that are not able to run
and pay the present prices. This, he con-
tends, is caused by the irregularity Of trade
and of spasmodc depression.
This information came last night By the
Associated Press.
