Preparations for the Cars Trip to Ber-
lin-The Porte.
Copyright, 1889, by n. Y. Associated Press1
BERLIN, October 5th-Oficial telegrams
from Fredensborg, received at Potsdam and
the Foreign Office tonight, say the Car
will start for Berlin Tuesday next. The
Chief of the Cars Secret Police messed
through Berlin 10 day ON his way to Kill.
He is accompanied by the Inspector Of I'M
perial Trains.
The Cars special train, once owned hv
the Empress Eugene, lies at the station
here, having come FRI m Wurballen.
There are swarms of Russian police here,
at KEEL and at stations along the proposed
route. Russian troops line the rails from
Wurballen to Moscow. The precautions
taken excel those on the occasion of the
former visit of the Gar, and are due to his
intense fears of an attempt upon his life.
The Czarina leaves Copenhagen October
18th for Konigsburg, reioining the Car at
some point on the homeward journey.
Under the pressing invitation of Count
Sohouvslof, the Russian ambassador to
Germany, the Car will accord Prince Bis
marck his desired interview. As soon as
the promise Of the conference was received
the semi. official press was instructed to
deny the statement that the Government
intends to apply to the Reichstag for a
military credit of several hundred million
marks.
The National Gaeette turns upon itself,
declaring that no money demands of any
Importance Were ever contemplated by the
Government.
The statement that the movements of the
Russian troops threatened the safety of the
frontier is likewise pronounced exagger-
ated.
An uneasy feeling appears to prevail in
Austrian official circles, it being feared that
the Chancellor is about to make move by
Offering TO assist in restoring the Russian
uin nee in BuIgsria as an induce me t
to draw the Ear from the French alliance
Princess IarsaIet sister of the Emperor.
is betrothed TO Prince William, heir of
the Duke of Nassau. Her mother favored
the suit of the Crown Prince of Denmark
while Bismarck favored the Prince of Mas
sau.
Lieutenant Fischer with two batteries of
artillery has been sent from Hamburg to
reinforce Captain Wissmann in East Africa
The alarm over Captain Wissmann's posi-
ton increases. He is threatened by large
bodies of well armed Arabs and natives,
who are cutting of his supplies.
The preparations being made at Con-
stantinople for the reception of Emperor
William indicate a prolonged stay. 1t is
reported that he will remain two weeks at
the Turkish Capital. He will be accom-
panied by Count Herbert Bismarck. The
length OF the Emperor's visit is attributed
to an intention to inquire into the condi-
ton of the Turkish army and to test the
statements of German officers that the
Porte is still able to maintain a standing
army of 40, 1000 men.
NJ. Herbette, the French ambassador,
returned to Berlin last evening. 1t is re-
ported that he will be replaced by Jules
Ferry.
In spite of some displeasing acts of Ferry
while in power, Bismarck is ready to &C.
cent him

The Commissioners Desire an Investiga-
ton by Congress.
WASHINGTON, October 5th.-Civil Service
Commissioner Lyman was seen to-day by
representative of the Associated Press
and was asked if he had anything to saw
concerning the publication in this morn
ins's Washington Post.
He replied his preference was for a
thorough investigation by a competent
tribunal rather than any explanation or
defense in newspapers.
Pending such an investigation he would
say that the statement that set of papers
given out by Campbell were current papers
given out in advance of the examination
was untrue. They were papers, he said
that had been previously used, such as the
Commission now publishes to the world in
its annual reports.
at the time by the Commission developed
the fact of Campbelfs connection with the
transaction, he saw the improperly of his
taking part in H. and said so to Commits.
sioner Oberly, who concurred with him.
and he thereupon left it to be completed
by him. requesting that he get at the bot
tom facts. He subsequently reported to
Lyman what he had found and his conclu-
sion that Campbell should not be removed
but reprimanded.
u expressed my satisfaction with his
| conclusion, Lyman said, biased upon the
| statement OF the case as made to me by
him. This matter occurred nearly two
years ago, and not since has il been a sub
ject of consideration by the Commission. 7
DESIRE" he added, "to make one other state
| ment now, and that is, that there has never
at any time been an appointment or pro-
motion made at the office of the Commits
sion in violation or evasion of the civil
| service rules. In every case the rules have
| been scrupulously complied with. as the
records will clearly show
Roosevelt said: 1.-THE charges, in so far
as they are directly made, refer wholly to
matters affecting the other Commission.
when Messrs Edgerton and Oberly were
members thereof. They do not touch any,

OF May, when General Thompson and my
self took the office. They should GER

! tribunal, and as they affect the manage
ment of the Commission, as under a pre-
yious Administration, thst tribunal should
contain Democrats as well as Republicans.
| In other words, the motive should be in
vesugated by Congress as soon as it meets,

! but will regard it as real misfortune if il
does not take place.
CAS- regards anything that has been done
| since myself came upon the Commission,
the accusations being carefully put in the

ing generality, shall merely say that any
accusations of misconduct on the part of
the Commission during my term of service
are false, and l particularly desire to see
those making them do so before tribunal

THE STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
Its Far-Reaching Influence in the Year
to Come.
[Red Bluff Sentinel, October 4th.I

GRed Bluff Sentinel, October 4h.I
Our fellow citizen, Hon. Leland Stanford,
and his noble wife will be welcomed by
our citizens to-day. We tender, at his re-
Quest, only an informal an unprovided
greeting, but it is as hearty and warm as a
grateful people can bestow. We look in
vain TO ancient or modern history for an
example of such munifeent benefsction as
that of the endowment of the Leland STAN
ford Jr. University. This generation will
fail to fully comprehend the far-reaching
influence of a great university of learning
built in their time We find it impossible
to grasp the full meaning of so grand an
enterprise Generations unborn will come
and go and be followed by others that will
live and pass away, and so through all
time, and upon each of these will be placed
the impress of this great college of learn
ing. Authors, statesmen, the learned in
all walks of life, skilled workmen in all
the arts, men for every practical employ
mem, will go out into the world inspired by
the lofty aims engendered in this noble in
sitution. Who shall be so bold as to
measure this all. pervsding influence?
Governor Stanford would always be re-
membered for his private charities, for the
material development of our great State,
to which he has contributed beyond any
single man in it, for his personal character
and his distinguished public services as
Governor and Senator, but above all these
and after their memory has faded and
gone, the coming years will make brighter
the glory of the last and crowning act in
the lives of this man aud his noble wife in
dedicating their vast wealth TO so grand
and so exalted purpose.

When order was restored ]. II. Jewett
stepped forward and delivered the

stepped forward and delivered the
ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
He said: Governor Stanford. esteem
it great privilege in behalf of the Mayor
aud citizens of Marysville to welcome you
and Mrs. Stanford to our city. Most sim
cerely do We wish that you may enjoy long
life, health and happiness. In addressing
you, sir. as Governor Stanford, we are not
unmirdful of your exalted position in the
councils of the Nation, nor of the promi-
nent part you took in casting up highway
for the commerce of the world. But, sir,
it is to Governor Stanford as Californian
that we wish on this occasion to show our
greatest admiration, as the alder of its
varied industries, the promoter of the
arts and sciences, and for that crowning act
of your eventful life in establishing in our
midst an institution yet in its embryo ex-
istence-the pride of the State, the wonder
of the world. Unborn generations, as they
look to the Leland Stanford Jr University
as their Alma Mater, will bless the mem
cries of Governor and Mrs. Stanford, the
originators, founders and benefactors.
whilst as fellow citizens of California
with pride and pleasure we congratulate
you upon your great successes, we do not
forget your great trials and bereavement,
and we take this opportunity of saying to
you that in those trying moments you had
the heartfelt sympathies of the citizens of
Marysville."
The hall was so crowded and the heat so
intense that the Senator made but brief
reply, and only those who were fortunate
enough to be close to him could hear his
remarks.
he apologized by saying that the recep-
ton was so far beyond his expectations
that it had completely unnerved him.
He thanked the people earnestly and sin
cerely from the bottom of his heart for
their attention. He said in reference to
the good deeds accredited to him by Mr..
Jewett in his address of welcome, that he
did not desire to take too much credit for
them. He did not think any man should
be lauded for doing right. In regard to the
proposed school at Palo Alto, he only
hoped that it would prove an instrument
in elevating humanity, and he would be
satisfied.
Three rousing cheers were given for the
Governor when he finished, and the hand
shaking was resumed and continued until
evening.
The committee then took charge of the
guests again and escorted them to the New
Western Hotel, where banquet had been
prepared.
The table was beautifully decorated with
flowers, and was literally loaded down with
fruit and other dainties.
The demonstration here to-day was the
largest and most enthusiastic of the kind
that ever occurred in this city, and it was
purely spontaneous and voluntary ON the
part of the people, irrespective of party or
station.
Most Of the business houses closed at
noon in honor of the occasion, and streets
and residences were gayly decorated with
flags, flowers and bunting.
1t is estimated that fully 5000 people
turned out and participated in the demon
stration. The party leave tonight for San
