GREATLY EXAGGERATED.
The Political Split in the Grand is Smaller
than Supposed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 1.-The so-called
split in the Grand Army Of the Republic
which originated here, continues an upper
most theme in veteran circles and with
the local press. That the movement has
been greatly exaggerated by the eastern
press is admitted on all sides here The
Evening News Gndependen) says the
organization of Democratic soldiers is of
far less Importance than it has been made
to appear and they charge that reports
regarding it are based upon information
eminating from Adjutant General koontz.
Inquiries today among Democrats who
belong to the Grand Army demonstrates
that very few of them are in sympathy
with the movement and do not endorse
the assertions of General koOntZ in say
ing that politics have been introduced into
the order.
Major Calvin Robbins, one of the COM
manoers of the Geo. H. Thomas post, who
was probably more prominent in organic
ing Democratic soldiers during the cam
paign than any other man in
the party, is not member OF
the association formed bv Adj
iutant General koontz, having declined
TO join. There are many other Democratic
ex-soldiers of prominence who do not be-
long to the organization. Among them
bONeTuOE JTdy, COlOLcl 4hdJOE
Mitchell and others. Major Mitchell, who
Is a prominent Democrat and the prosecut-
ing attorney for this (Aiarion) county,
speaking of the matter this evening said:
LAS member of the. GrandArmy can say
that during all the time | have belonged
10 Geo. H. Thomas post politics never at
any time, in any shape, manner or form,
entered into the work of the post any
moro than politics may be introduced in
oh l-6h inns On
any more of political organization than
the order of Masons, Odd Fellows or
knights of Pythias."
Colonel j. n. Walker, assistant adiu
tant general of the Grand Army, depart
ment of Indiana, sends the following to
the Associated Press: Il want to enter
protest against the statements and in
terviews published especially in the east
ern press about detection of the
comrades of the Grand Army in this de-
partment. Nothing of the kind has oc-
Cured and the membership was never
more united and enthusiastic in their sup
port of the order than now. The handful
of disappointed chronic officeseekers here
that have succeeded In getting themselves
advertised throughout the country, have
no standing nor never had in the Grand
Army of the Republic nor out of it. for
that matter The whole business has been
engineered by half a dozen chronics, and
at no meeting have they been able to Sc
cure the attendance of fifty persons, and
not to exceed half those have ever been
members of the Grand Army. No Demo
crat of standing or influence in this com
munity who is member of the Grand
Army of the Republic, can be found oppos
ing the order. On the contrary, scores of
comrades of that political faith have per-
sonally and by letter denounced the at
tempt of these small fry politicians. The
department of Indiana is all right"

THE GERMAN EMPEROR.

Him with Official Information.

copyrighted, 1883 blythe New York Associated Press.
BERLIN, Dec. 1.-The emperor's prolonged
absence from public life has given rise to
the rumor that he is suffering from an
aural tumor which is assuming an aggra-
waited form. Semi-official reports state
that his trouble os simply bad cold con-
tracted during the late hunt. No medical
advice has been sought beyond the house
hold physician. The complaint was con-
tracted during the height of the catarrhal
fever, and as the weather is not good the
emperor is advised to remain in doors for
some days to come.
The emperor employs part OF his en-
forced leisure in celebrating the details of
further army and navy reforms. He kept
his military cabinet very busy, demanding
immediate reports on a variety of GueS-
tions. The officials of the cabinet find his
incessant activity some thing too much
for them. He keeps them working some
times night and day, insisting that there
be no delay in the reports he demanded,
his unvaryiug orders being to reply within
twenty-four hours The admiralty officials
share in the excitement of the war office,
which has been especially stimulated this
week by messages from the emperor refer
ring TO the naval estimates, the details of
which remain unsettled. The emperor's
orders extend into every other department,
He has held several confer
ences with Prince Henry, of

Vienna, in regard to the interview
with Count Vontase, the Austrian prime
minister. He also gave private interview

The reichstag commission will begin to

more about ornaments than was disclosed
in the arguments in the reichstag. The
chief of ornaments, Nonts candidly told
the reichstag that the memorandum of the
navy was drawn up purposely so that for
eign nations mlgntenot learn more than
was necessary. The memorandum. he
said, was an inadequate presentation of
the projected increase of the navy, but he
promised TO give full information to the
commission. Herr Won Bennigsen COM
mssting on estimates, showed that Il6,-
G00000 marks couldn't possibly cover the
cost of building twenty-eight vessels, and
that the ornaments alone, apart from the
increased expense of crews, would necessi-
tate an additional expenditure of 80, 900 900
marks.

LITTLEWOOD THE CHAMPION.
lie Passes Albert's World Record in the
Great Walking Match.

| New YORK. Dec. There was great
crowd at the last night of the great six
| dag walking match at Madison square
garden. At 6 O'Clock Littlewood was 10
miles and laps ahead Of Albert's record
| of 6o3 miles. At els Howarth completed
his 525th mile, thus making sure of a
share in the gate money. At the end of
the l39th hour Littlewood was miles and
laps ahead of Rowell's world record Of
COZ miles laps. Peach finished his $50
miles just before O'Clock, winning bets
of 5000 that he had made that lie would be
on tie track Saturday night and have COW
cred $50 miles. Little covered enough
ground to give him share of the gate
money.
When Littlewood made his 6I5 miles at
7:30 the big crowd grew enthusiastic
and when he passed go miles at 7:37 the
sand people were then in the garden. Al
berts, the late champion, and his wife were
in the box looking on at the little English
mans performance. The enthusiasm OF
the crowd increased as Littlewood rolled
up laps constituting his 62lst mile, or best
record, which he finished at 7:52. Every
lap after this added to the excitement of
the throng, for the Englishman was then
on new ground and hosting the record.
AT SOY Littlewood completed 622 miles
and one lap and then left the track. Herty
finished his 6O0th mile at $50. Soon after
wards Michael Kelly presented the belt to
Littlewocd, the winner, in a brief speech.
Herty at'this time was still on the track
making an effort to break RowelPs best
record of COZ miles and 1S5 yards,
and at 9:04 he made the 602nd mile
and shortly after was ahead of Rowell.
All contestants returned to the track be-
tween 9 and 10. Flowers were showered
upon them and they spurted around the
track. Littlewood came out, and al
though limping badly, he went around
the track, being cheered to the echo At
this time it was estimated that fully 10000
people were in the garden at 10 p. nl., and
the final score was: Llttlewood, 623, ,320
yards; Herty, COS miles: Moore, 553 miles:
Cartwright, $40 miles; Noromack, 542

Hronek is Found Guilty and Sentenced to
Twelve Years Imprisonment

CHICAGO, Dec. Judge Collins in
charging the jury in the case OF Hronek.
the anarchist, this evening, said: Every
presumption is in favor of the prisoner. If
the jury believe the dynamite came into
the possession of the possessor prior to the
passage of the law in July. 1887, and under
which he was indicted, they must bring in
a verdict of acquittal. They must be sat
isfied that the prisoner secured the dyna
mite since the above date with felonlous
intent to destroy human life in order to
convict"
The judges charge was quite lengthy and
its reading occupied fully half an hour.
AT o'clock the jury re-
turned, At II minutes to 10 the an
nouncement was made that the jury had
agreed. The attorneys hurriedly returned,
the spectators seats quickly filed up, the
judge took his seat, the prisoners was
brought in and the jury filed in and took
their seats. The verdict was handed to
the clerk of the court who opened the
paper and read:
1--WE. the jury. find the defendant guilty
as charged in the Indictment, and fix his
punishment at twelve years in the peni-
Tertiary"
A friend leaned over to tell Hronek the
verdict, but he looked up with pleasant
smile and said: "Ich verstehe." His face
showed no sign of disappointment or fear.
