BISMARCK BEATEN.
His Attempt to Muzzle Lib

GEFFCKEN GETS THE BEST OF 1T.
The Extracts from Kaiser Frederick s
Diary Testify to the Worth of
the Dead Emperor.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
BERLIN, January 16 In accordance
with the command of Emperor William
the Reichsanzeiger to-day publishes the
Indictment that was found against Pro.
fessor Geffckep, in order that the people
may be enabled to form their own judg-
ment regarding the administration oi
justice in Germany. Morier is frequently
mentioned in the course of the cores
pondence, and references to him are made
showing that he was in the confidence Of
the writer's. Prince Bismarck has sub
mitted to the Bundesrath all the docu-
ments used during the judicial inquiry.
Prof. Geffcken's letters which are ap-
pended to the indictment cover the period
from 1875 to 1887, and are marked
throughout by hostile criticism of Bis
marck and his policy.
The ReichSanzeinger also published
Prince Bismarck's 8 report to the Emperor
William, in which he points out the
necessity for publishing the indictment
in order to counteract the effect of the
misrepresentation of the home and
foreign journals which, he says, aim at
representing the public prosecutor and
the imperial tribunal Gas being partial
and inspired with a desire for persecu-
tion.
The Indictment says Geffcken admitted
it was unlikely that the Empress
Frederick would have given permission
to publish the diary. The indictment
also says Prof. Gefcken confessed
he believed that the Emperor
Frederick would not have given
him the diary if he had thought
it would be published. Prof. Gefcken
made extracts from the diary for his own
die before himself. His object in pub
fishing the extracts was to show that the
Emperor Frederick was a noble ideal
ogist and moving power at the founda-
tion of the Empire. On comparing the
abstracts published with the copies of
the diary in possession OF the Govern
ment, it appears that the man
uscript from which Gefcken
copied, has disappeared without
leaving a trace. The widow of Min
lister Won Stoche and the novelist, Frey
tag, were called to prove that the late
Emperor Frederick never contemplated
the violation of secrecy. which is the
basis of the charge Of treason, and is
treated under Elk heads, as follows:
First, origin and constitution OF the En-
pire second, relations with the Vatican
third, with Russia; fourth, with Eng
land; fifth, with Luxembourg and the
guaranteeing powers; sixth, with Bel
gium and France.
LONDON, January 1S.-The Standard
says: The publication Of the Geffcken
indictment, shows that Bismarck him
self was the author of the monstrous
charges against Sir R. D. Morier. The
Kaiser has chosen openly to associate
himself with the Chancellor's tortuous
policy. There is cold brutality about
the whole business which is exceedingly
unpleasant. Bismarck has outraged
public opinion in way in which it has
hardly ever been outraged before.

Zanzibar TrOu bles.

ZANZIBAR, January 10.-The attack by
insurgents on the German missionary
station at Oar .es-Salem, began early on

was unguarded and contained hundred
natives freed from slavery, three male
and two female missionaries. One of
the missionaries was severely wounded,
but escaped and reached the German
man of-war Move. The others were
captured by the insurgents, who sold
them into slavery in the interior. The
insurgents piIlaged the town. The Move
bombarded the place and destroyed it,
but did not harm the insurgents. The
insurgents captured an ivory caravan.
1t is reported the insurgents are march
ing upon another German mission.

EConveyance of COrpses.

SAN Francisco, January 16.-The
Baggage Agents Association held an ex-
o. G. Wheeler, General Baggage Agent
of the Southern Pacific was President.
The meeting lasted over three hours.
Secretary J. E. Quick. of the Chicago and
Grand Trunk Railway Company said the
principal topic of discussion was the
report of the committee on transporta-
ton of dead bodies, which was
finally referred back to the con-
vention for adoption, the rules to be
referred to the different State boards
of health for their approval. The rules
provide for marked changes in the prep
aration of bodies for transportation by
rail, and certificates in the form of affi-
davits must be issued by the proper
medical or health boards of the different
States, setting forth the disease the per-
son died from. This will preclude the
possibility Of spreading infectious
diseases.

LONDON, January 16. - Phelps, the
United States minister, was the chief
guest at the banquet given by the Fish
mongers' Company this evening. Phelps,
in his speech, said the only complaint
he had to bring against this country was
that the people had made it more diff
cult to say good bye to them than topper
form any duty he had to do since he
came. He hoped often to have the
pleasure of seeing in his own country, il
not in another, his numerous English
friends.

soon after the meteor appeared and ex-
ploded, My son William aud I were
busy slowing Ice, when suddenly the
heavens were lit up with an intense glare.
We looked up and from the southeast saw
q ball of Rre apparently not more than
100 feet from the earth. II resembled the
headlight OF a locomotive aud was fol
lowed by a long funnel-shaped trail
OF greenIsh blue Gre. II seemed to
be descending ut an angle of about
80 or IS degrees. After crossing the lake
II suddenly changed In hue to an intense
red, aud threw. oil myriads OF Sparks. 1t
came directly athwart the wind, which
was blowing at the time a moderate Gale
from the east.northeast. The display
lasted, as near as eau calculate, about
10 seconds, when there was q terrific ex-
plosiOn, aud myriads of sparks flew in
every direction, and the meteor dlsap-
peared. One large fragment seemei to
strike the ground not more than eco feet

street gamina. Experiments were con-
Quoted before good-flzed crowd on the
corner of Centre and Chambers streets
yesterday noon by two Italian boOtblacks,
three IIibernian nowsboys, aud a Teu-
tonic yeuder of wax matches. They had
tried all known means oil ascertain!ng
their weight without paying the Zee, bu.
all In vain, when NJ idea flashed acro's
the mind OF one of the youthful repre-
sentatives of downtcoiden Ireland.
suetching his cap from lis head, which
was covered with a wealth Of profoundly
red hair, he jumped upon the platform
of the automatic weigber, drew q long
breath, placed his mouth to the slot, and
sent down into the bowels OF the machine
gust Of wind that fairly whistIed.
The experiment was a success. The
mechanism OF the welghtr WAS set in
operation and the pointer on the dial
showed that the weight of the young
gamin was 81 pounds. The boys dlsco9
cry tickled the crowd immensely, and
during the next half hour wind was blown
into the iron case of the machine at ter
rifle rate. All that was necessary to sue
cess was q big mouth, so that the slot
could he fully covered, and pair OF eooi
lungs. A halt hundred men were weighed
by the new wind process, and those who
had not lung power enough Of their own
gladly giving the young dlscoyerer a
nickel to blow for them.
