THE BERLIN BUDGET.


BERLIN, June 3.-No sooner has
Emperor Frederick seemed assured of
some prolongation of life than influences
hostile to Prince Bismarck display re-
newed activity. The conflict between the
liberal tendencies OF the Emperor and the
Chancellors policy which has been latent
at the outset of the reign, now threatens
to end in open rupture The Emperor is
swayed by the opinion Of the Empress
who has resumed the active domain she
secured during the illness Of the Emperor
at San Reno. Prince Bismarck had a
warning Of the coming troubles last week
in a communication from the Emperor,
blaming Minister Won Puttkramer for
abusing the government influence at the
elections. Prince Bismarck returned from
Varzin and in an interview found the
Emperor DESTROYS of rcconstructing the
Ministry and also opposed to giving assent
TO the quinquennial Landtag bill Under
the advice OF DR.. Friedborg the Emperor
signed the bill at the same time advising
Bismarck that he hoped this concession
would be followed by reforms in the
Ministry When Bismarck left the
Emperor on Thursday the crisis appeared
to have been settled. II now transpires
that Bismarck had been consulting his
colleagues on the order Of the Emperor
for the postponement OF the publication
of the law. 1t was reported that the
Emperor had cancelled his signature, The
report, however, is unconfrmed. The
ministerial circle fear the worst. The
crisis has not yetreached the climax of
the resignation of the ministry, and until
Prince Bismarck has again consulted the
Emperor, the issue of the conflict is
doubtful.
Owing probably TO anxiety, combined
with the fatigue, the Emperor became
worse yesterday. His fever reappeared.
The discharge Of pus became copious and
general exhaustion was greater.

Grandstan was captured while in bed last
night by Pinkerton detective and two
local officers, The detectives pumped a
full confession out Of him. lie intended
to rob old man Drake but was unable TO
make him disclose the place where the
family valuables were hid. This led TO
his killing Drake Mrs. Drake attempted
to shoot Grandstalf, and he killed her in
the presence of two children. TO pre-.
vent the little ones from telling he cut
their threats. Grandstaff has. been known
as an ignorant but cunning and daring
semi desperate. He has been paruci.
pant in several ARRAYS and an associate OF
hard characters. Little is known Of his
antecedcnts, only that he was Of illcgiti-
mate birth. AS the people were greatly
excited and lynching threatened troops
were promptly ordered out by Gov. Rusk.
|. At late hour last night | 900 determ.
ined men surrounded the Jail, but the
authorities refused to give up the prisoner.
The barricades were then broken down
and the officers overpowered. An hour
was spent in breaking down the steel
cage and then the prisoner fought
with desperate fury against those
who sought to enter. The struggle
did not last long and he was taken out
bound hand and foot, and led to the
porch below, and there preparations were
made to hang him. A rope was placed
around his neck and the prisoner was
asked what he had to say. He protested
his innocence, but it was known that he
had made full confession in the after
noon and he was not believed. At mid
night the scene at the Jail was horrible.
The prisoner was covered with blood,
having been terribly mangled while the
steel cage was being battered down. He
stood with the halter around his neck
pleading for his life. At l2:45 the mob
hung the prisoner to a tree in front of the
court house and then let him down to see
il he would confess.
LATER. -Grandstaff refused to make a
confession to the lynchcrs, and after
some time they strung him up again, and
when lowered the second time he was
dead.

ST PAUL, May 80. About five hundred
delegates were present at the first bust.
ness session of the twenty eighth annual
convention OF the United States Brewers
Association this morning. President
Miles delivered the annual address. Re.
ferring to the Supreme Court decision in
the Kansas prohibition cases, he said:
"A favorable decision In this case would
have checked prohibitory legislation. The
natural consequence Of the adverse decis-
ion is that the efforts Of the prohibition.
lists are stimulated in every direction and
that we must fight the old battle of pro-
hibition over again in every State where
our trade is threatened by such legisla-
ton. Much can be done through our
organization. but it ought to be supple
mented by thorough State organizations.

some length. In the report OF the Board

at restricting or prohibiting the sale OF
