are very muddy, an1 it required FIVE horses
for each team. Some of them had come with
mules. The horses, drivers and wagons were
covered with mud. The siding is about mile
from the village. The farmers in their long COW
hide boots, and hustle and excitement in getting
the teams the fiat cars and the horses into the
covered cars. made a picturesque scene. The
farmers were delighted at the idea of getting
their teams into the city such easy terms. this
trial being free to all They had their teams
loaded to their utmost capacity. The clouds
overhead grew darker as the work proceeded
and the latter part of the work was done in a

Bismarck Abandons His Holiday Trip at the
Request of the Emperor.
NEW YORK. Jan. IA London cablegram to
the Sun says: "It is now certain that Prince
Bismarcks proposed holiday trip to Italy was
abandoned in consequence of the earnest en-
treaties of the Emperor. Extensive arrange
ments have been made for the journey of the
Prince and his household and a suite of apart
ments in palazzo at San Reno was in readiness
for their occupancy Then the word was sud
denly given to countermand all the orders for
the trip. This caused great surprise at Berlin
and much disappointment at San Reno. The
explanation of the sudden change in the Chan
cellor's plans is furnished in dispatches received
tonight from Berlin. The Emperor sent for the
Chancellor ard gave him an audience. at which
no other person was present. 1t is reported that
the Emperor said: Il feel that my death is
possible at any moment. If you are absent
grave complications may ensue." The Emperor
forebore to lay his command upon the Chancel-
lor to remain in Germany, but made it matter
of personal and earnest entreaty. The scene
between the venerable Kaiser and the harassed
and breaking Chancellor is said to have been pa

that the Kaiser feels convinced that he will not

threats of renewed hostilities. The divers have
placed their works in the hands of the county
for protection, and the sheriff, with q strong
posse, is in possession. detachment of the
Elkhart Veterans are also on duty and their
presence proves sufficient to inspire the strikers
with respect for the law A large crowd Of

companions within the prison, but sufficient
force is on hand to repel any force that is likely
to attack it The Poles cannot said to be models
of manly bravery and courage and so long as
they realize that they likely to meet with
armed resistance are not likely to attempt any
thing desperate. Both of the Olivers father

at noon Mr.. James Oliver left for Chicago with
the committee to meet the remains of Mr. Colfax.

THE ANARCHIST METHOD.

A Police Commissioner of Frankfort on the
Main Assassinated in the Street.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Central News gives
the following version of the killing last night,
of Police Commissioner Rumpff: IA profound
sensation was created in Berlin this morning by
the announcement that Herr Rumpff, police
commissioner of Frankfort on the Main, had been
murdered last night in front of his residence
in o prominent thoroughfare Rumpff was
actively connected with tie recent prosecutions
at i4epsic of anarchists Reinsdorf, Rupsch,
Kuecher, Holzehaur, Bachman, Soehngen,
Rheinbach and Toelner, who were engaged in
the Niederwald attempt to kill the Emperor the
Crown Prince and other distinguished person
ages of the Imperial suit Reinsdorf,
Rupsch and Kucchler were sentenced to death,
and Holzehaur and Bachman to ten years servi-
tude; the others were acquitted. The police are
reticent IN regard to the murder of Rumpf.
but state that there is no doubt that friends
OF the condemned anarchists committed the
deed. All kinds of stories are afioat in
regard to the murder One is to the effect that,
while returning home at about 10 o'clock last
night, ana when in front of his house, Herr
Rumpff was struck a violent blow on the back
of the head, which felled him to the pavement,
rendering him unconscious, and not giving him
opportunity to cry for help. Another is that
death was produced by a stab wound causing
almost instant death. All agree that the MUIR
der was the work of anarchists, in revenge for
the part the councillor had taken in securing the
conviction of Reinsdorf and his companions The
Emperor, when informed Of the death of Rumpff,
was vsibly agitated."
A reward of $3.50 is offered for the discovery
of the murderer. The dagger with which the
deed was done twice penetrated the heart.

Mr.. Chamberlain Declares that England's
Land System Is Robbery.
LONDON, Jan. 15.-Mr. Chamberlain president
of the Board of Trade, delivered his inaugural
address, last night, as president of the Ipswich
reform club. He said he was not in favor of
State-aided emigration. He believed it was pos
sible to find employment for all at home. He
was convinced that protection would not improve
the position of the farmers. The condition
of the farmers was never so hopeless and the con-
dltion of laborers never 80 abject as when corn
was dearest. The creation of a peasant propri-
etary and permanence of occupation were the
only remedies for agricultural stagnation The
present land system was based on robbery, and
the community was entitled to restitution and
redress
