THE ATTACK ON BISMARCK.
An InsinuatiOn that Bismarck Sought to
Hasten Frederick's Death.

LONDON, Jan. 30.--The Contemporary Re
rie,o's article on the Bismarck Dynasty
opens with reminder that the chancellor can
not live long. The American minister at Ber-
lin, the article says, five years ago remarked
with surprise that Prince Bismarck was pre-
pairing no one to succeed him. The chancellor,
waking suddenly to this idea, set about devel-
oping Count Herbert Bismarck. The article
frankly alludes to
COUNT HERBERT's YOUTHFUL BRAwLs,
to his later intrigues, and to his embodiment
with woman at Bonn, from which he had to
slash his way with his sword, receiving an ugly
cut on the head. The Bismarckian contempt
for women, accentuated by this and another in
trigue after the war, is represented as the
origin of all that is baneful in the Bismarckian
character. 1--WE shall have no more petticoats
meddling in politics now was. according to
rumor, the exclamation of the exultant Count
Herbert on the death of Emperor Frederick.
The article affects to dismiss as monstrous
the insinuation of the opponents of Prince
Bismarck that the chancellor
MEDITATED THE DEATH OF EMPEROR FREDERICK
when he insisted that Frederick should leave
San Remo for Berlin. but depicts the idea that
his ascendency would be menaced by Empress
Frederick ASA nightmare to the chancellor,
who further saw by Fredericks refusal to dis
cuss state affairs with Count Herbert that it
was useless to hope that Herbert would ever be
Frederick's chancellor. Who could therefore
be surprised, the writer asks, had Prince Bis
marck wished the cancer to make haste?
In reference to the dismissal of Minister
Puttkamer by Emperor Frederick. the article
asserts that Prince Bismarck was unable to
make up his mind whether it would be wiser
to resist or to crafty Frederick's desire. even
after advising him to sign the decree of dis
missal, and says that directly the decree was
published the chancellor told the emperor he
had gone too far. Entries in Emperor Fred
erick's diary amply confirm this statement.
The writer of the article asserts that
COMPACT WITH THE PRESENT EMPEROR
was the only reason Prince Bismarck had for
opposing the marriage of Princess Victoria to
Prince Alexander of Battenberg The article
is hardly less sparing in its criticism of the
present emperor. 1t calls him an apt pupil of
a cynical master, who found no difficulty, moral
or sentimental. in treating his mother in a
fashion after Count Herbert's own heart, and
III treating the Prince of Wales with such dis
courtesy as to prevent any intercourse between
them.
The article goes freely into the Gefficken
and Morier affair, but reveals nothing new.

JOHN Nj. CLAYTON KILLED.
Shot Through the Window by an I'm
known Assassin.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, Jan. 3O-The Gazette's
Plummeryille, Ark, special gives the following
details of the killing of John NJ. Clayton:
Hon. J. VI. Clayton was shot in his room at
Mrs. Cravens house at o'clock last night r.
II. Womack, of Benton, Ark, a travelling man,
who was in the room with Clayton, says:
Clayton. his friend. Mr.. Alhutt and
were occupying the same room. Clayton had
been nervous all the evening, and was pacing
the floor with his hands in his pockets
and he walked toward the window. over which
the blind was partially drawn. and was in the
act of sitting down when shot was fired
through the window, making avery loud report
and putting out the light.
We could hear the blood running from Clay
ton. / exclaimed: The lamp has exploded
and killed him." NO. said Alhutt, The has
been shot"
When light was brought we found
that load of buckshot had been
fired through the window taking eff
feet in the right side of his neck and breaking
it, one bullet passing clear through. He fell
back IN his chair and then over on the floor.
Womack's story is straight. There is no elew
to the perpetrator of the outrage. but a pistol
found under the window this morning may
lead to the discovery of the assassin.
No one advances any theory yet. A great
number of people, principally negroes, are in
the little village, but everything is orderly and
uuipt

4 Curious Complication.
LAWYER SAID To HAVE APPROPRIATED NONE
GIVEN HIM TO PAY FINE.

LAWYER SAID To HAVE APPROPRIATED MONEY
GIVEN HIM TO PAY FINE.
This afternoon in the Police Court, Prosecut-
ing Attorney Shillington called Judge Mlller's
attention to an attachment which he held for
Lucy Bagby. The clerk explained to the court
that the attachment was issued TO COM
pei her to pay fine. Upon an examina-
ton of the papers, the clerk stated
that the fine had been paid and the attachment
was dismissed.
Prosecuting Attorney Shillington said that
there were some circumstances connected with
this case that he wouid like to have the court
hear. He said that the woman had represented
to him that she was tried for disorderly conduct
and fined So; that she was gwen seven days in
which to pay the fine. That day, so the woman
states, the money was given to Lawyer Kicks
to pay the fine with, but instead of paying the
fine she claims that he pocketed the money
and then had her attached.
The judge thought that that was foolish
way for persons to settle fines imposed in
courts. He could not sit here to audit the
accounts between attorneys and their clients.
The judge suggested that if the facts justi
fed such action. affidavit or warrant
the affair, and said that her father gave the
money 10 the lawyer to pay the five with.
"Who employed the lawyer" asked the court.
Nobody" she answered.
How did he come to defend you?'
That's what l would like to know" re-
sponded Lucy. She said that after he inter-
ested himself in the case her father told him
to call at the house, and if he had anything to
spare he would give it to him. He gave the
lawyer 81.
After further examining the girl the judge
told the prosecuting officer to put the matter
in the form of an affidavit and let it come prop
erly before the court.

DISTRICT IN CONGRESS.

SENATOR HoAR SECURES A RECONSIDERATION OF
THE DISTRICT JURY BILL.
Senator Harris did his best yesterday to Sc
cure the passage of the bill to change the jury
law of the District, but because of objections
and the limited time at his disposal he failed.
Mr.. Hoar thought the bill was defective in
that provision which fixes the time of jury SER
vice to one month. Suppose case, such as
Guiteaus for instance, lasted more than one
month the jury could not be held. To obviate
the possibility of jurors deserving a partially
tried cause he offered an amendment which
would keep the jury in service until the con-
clusion OF any case they might be hearing.
The bill was then passed. but Mr.. Hoar raised
another point against it. He did not think il
was sound public policy to provide that nobody
but taxpayers shall be summoned as jurors.
There were non-taxpayers who were Just as
competent just as intelligent, and just as pa
triotic as the property-owners.
Mr.. Hoar's attention was directed to the fact
that the bill had already been passed; where
upon he moved to reconsider. and with the
consent of Mr.. Harris the motion to reconsider
went over until TODAY
