"EvERY INCH AN EMPEROR. /"
Mr.. Chauncey Depew's Description o
Young Kaiser wilhelm.

The chief topic Of political interest Of the
past week is the visit Of Emperor William.
Thousands Of Englishmen focked to Ports
mouth and TO Aldershot purposely to see what
the young monarch was like. All Americans
who could go went, among them Chauncey
Depew and Street Commissioner Coleman. Mr..
Chauncey Depew saw the emperor when the
latter came on board the Teutonic. Questioned
by the World correspondent on the subject, Mr..
Depew remarked: II had seen him once before
in Tyrol with his grandfather when the chances
OF his becoming emperor seemed very remote.
thought him then o manly, self-possessed
young fellow. Now he looks every inch the
emperor in all that the word means from the
modern and medisval standpoint. He looked,
SO far as nineteenth century conditions would
permit, what Frederick the Great might
have been in his time. His sole idea
seems to be niilitarisrn on land and on sea
for the protection Of the German empire and
FOR the maintenance Of its unity and power. He
est naval military displays that the world has
ever seen, an array Of armament which was
intended to astonish him and to show him the
value Of England as ally and the danger OF
having her as an enemy. You should have seen
him look at those new cannon which 6re twelve
shots to the minute on the Teutonic. He went
through them like a dose OF salts, examined
them inside and out, and turning TO an officer
at his side he said emphatically, We must have
those guns, and quick, too He listened with
mild interest to the description Of the fine
cabins and luxurious Accommodations for the
passengers, but what he wanted to know all
about was those twin screws and what they
would do under pressure"
Are WE sPoIIINa FOR TIoHT.
Among other things which Mr.. Depew discov-
cred during his Portsmouth visit was that there
is growing belief over there that the United
States is spelling for a fight with somebody,
and would rather prefer to tackle England than
anybody else. Mr.. Depew found this to be the
keynote Of the speeches of Lord George Ham,
ilton and of other cabinet officers and states
men on the Teutonic, who persisted in harping
on the difficulties with Canada. Mr.. Depew
astonished them all by making light OF their
gloomy apprehensions and by treating Canada
as willing maiden only waiting to be asked.

inclosed public land to which he had not even
a fraudulent ti:le. Others have seen their great
expanded giants reduced to the original
boundaries. Investigation and prosecution
have discouraged the fraudulent presumption Of
public land. All this has been extremely dis
tasteful to the politicians and speculatorss
whose channels OF usefulness were choked up.
Now they demand the head Of the mono
manic" who has vexed them, and they stand
ready to I'll his place with some broad and
practical resident who is in full sympathy with
what they may call a progressive territorial
spirit
Mr.. Harrison can do a great deal Of good by
putting none but honest men into that branch
of the service that deals with the public lands,
by causing the land laws to he executed with
care, and by insisting upon the enforcement OF
criminal laws against those who have stolen
land in one way or another. The history Of
disposition of our public lands, shown in the
reports of the land Office, is such that an
honest citizen can read it without a sense Of
shame and humiliation. Mr.. Harrison can
make that part Of il which is to come less re-
pulsiye by setting his face against all land job
bers. But he cannot take this course without
offending certain politicians, whose counsel
and aid he now seems TO seek.

Justice Kenyon and other judges gave opinions
In which they sustained the indictm Mt on the
ground that il was a misdemeanor al common
law for one to solicit or counsel another TO
commit felony or other high crime, although
no act were done in pursuance of such counsel
or solicitation. The syllabus of the case is as
follows:
TO solicit servant to steal his masters
goods is misdemeanor at common law though
1t be not charged in the indictment that the
servant stole the goods, nor that any other act
was done except the soliciting and inciting"
Ii was urged against this proposition q il
required both the act and the intent to cv.n-
plete an otiense, and that here was only the
attempt but the learned judges said, and in
TINS all substantially agreed, that "the act OF
ofense required and that soliciting and melting
one to commit felony or other high crime suf-
hclently disclosed the evil intention.
Bribery is an ofense at common law, and to
brlbe or attempt TO bride an elector at any gov
eminent election was high crime, and conse-
quently under these authorities any one who
counseled and advised, or, to use the common
law terms, solicited or melted another to bride
such electOr although nothing be done by the
party solicited toward the accomplishment of
bribery, was guilty OF misdemeanor at COM
mon law, the act of soliciting being the only
act required to consummate it. But it may be
said that there are no common law otenses I'M
der the federal government. That is very true,
but where you find statute that in effect de-
hnes an otfense at common law. you look into
the common law to see what is necessary to
complete that Otiense. That is just what Judge
Woods attempted to do, but fell into the error
o! looking at the wrong class OF cases-that is,
accessory o1enses and not substantive oiienses.
In that mistake is to be found the error COM
mltted by him in his second charge.
In indicating Judge Woods from anything
save an error of law, have thought it right
that my own views of the statute should accom-
pany the vindication, as it is matter of very
considerable interest to the people of our state.
