An odd incident occurred on the German
emperor's visit to Breslau. The emperor
congratulated Burgomaster Friedenburg on
the result OF the recent election, when the
Progressionists were defeated by TWO Free
Conservatives and one National Liberal.
His congratulations seemed to be awkwardly
received. The emperor afterwards, on ask
ing the reason. learned that Friedenberg was
a local leader of the Progressists.
The Brussels Independence Beige says that

which had been freely entered into by them,
and had been countersigned by the French
consul.
Persistent rumors prevail, whether idle or
not no one appears to know, to the effect
that certain extremists are about to attempt
the murder of one of the judges in the Par

is felt among the secret circles IN Ireland
over the farce now being enacted before the
commission sitting IN the Times-Parnell case.
The German and English consular author
tiles in Zanzibar are about to issue similar
proclamations, forbidding German and En-
glish subjects to contract with slave owners
for supply OF slave labor. This edict will
be difficult of enforcement, as there are q

status of the men hired for work is doubtful.

story: 81 am the legal wife Of Harry
W. King. we were married about four
years ago in Chicago. We lived in
Quincy, ILL.,. for time and kept house
at that point. We returned to Chicago
and took up housekeeping at No. 21O

together until four weeks ago, Before
the latter date, however, Harry {the
victim of the murder) came to Omaha

LIBELING THE LEAGUE.
Parnellism Odious. and Will
Probably Succeed.

PROBABLY succeed.
Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Parnellites,
who have been gradually losing conf
dence in the commission of inquiry, be-
fore which they hoped at first to make
a fair showing for Ireland and her
cause. have now almost abandoned any
idea of doing more than proving the al
legged Parnell letters as forgeries, The
commission began its sittiTgs with ap-
parent freedom from bias and with the
intention of giving an equal opportu-
nifty for fair hearing to the Times and
to the accused commonerS. For time
this promise was good, but little Incl
dents have arisen IN the proceedings
tending to Stifle the hope once enter
tanned. The Parnel!ites are simply dis
gusted at the latitude given the Times
in its attempts to prove its case. The
production of evidence that has no
bearing whatever on the real issue, and
the rehearsal of crimes with which the
National league has no kind of conTlec-
ton, the enrolment of moOnlighterS
and all the rascals of Ireland as meHf-
berS OF the league. will have distinct
place IN the popular summing up of the
case, and will cause bad impression to
remain in the popular mind. This is
what the Times is working for. 1t can
not prove the letters alleged to be Par
nell's genuine, and the only way out Of
bad fix is to condemn the whole busi-
ness of Parnellism. Of course Mr.. Par
nell and his associates can disprove
many of the charges now being.
brought against them by the Times,
but though they win their case,
prove the utter falseness of tile
letters and charges. yet the impression
that the Times is slowly but surely con-
veying to the minds of the people can
never be effaced. 1t is much easier to
impute crime to the members of the Ma
tional league when crime is general in
Ireland. than it will be for the aecused
TO refute the iIiipntation. The charges
are more general than specific, and con-
sequently it will be impossible for the
Parnellites to meet them. It is upon
this ground that the defendants protest
against the course pursued by the COM
mission, and can only hope to refute the
principal charge. that regarding the
forged letters.

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE opening of
the Lyric clubs new and superb quar-
tiers last night was certainly success,
but it was marred by just one unfortu-
nate circumstance. The Prince of
Wales had promised to lend his genial
presence TO grace the occasion, and on
the strength of this promise great
crowd was rash enought to pay half a
guinea fee for sight of chubby royalty.
At the last moment, however, the prince
sent lame excuse and absented him
self, greatly to the disappointment and
ill-concealed disgust of the members
who growled at the loss of their gold,
The princes excuse was palpably false,
as he attended the theater instead last
night 1t is believed that some pres
sure was brought to bear on the piince
not to become patron of the Lyric
club. as the free and easy relations be-
tween men and women allowed by the
club would be likely to produce scan-
dial.
