BERLIN, Jan. IL, Copyright 1890, by the
New York Associated Press.-Public atten-
ton was concentrated to-day upon the
clusion of all other parts, all planned to be
a REPETITION of the funeral of Emperor
William. The way was lined by troops,
and by various trade guilds, by students,
by members of veteran societies and so on,
and behind these thronged thousands Of
silent, sympathetic spectators. Ecclesias-
teal services, as well as the military part
of the scene was a REPETITION of the hOnors
paid to the renowned husband
of the deceased empress. There was laid
upon the coffin a magnificent palm
branch with long white silk ribbons bear
ing the imperial arms and crown in gold.
Prince Bismarck sent a large wreath sur
rounding a cross of ~violets. Among many
anecdotes now made public in regard to
the dead empress is one that has interest
of actuality. In sending a gift to a dis
tressed widow she was told that the wo-
mans husband had been a socialist and
she said: Il do not care what the political
opinions of the man were. | only remem-
Der hat he left a hungry family" Today
the house in Inter Den Linden is draped
with black and the lamps are shrouded
with Grape.
The expected conference of the Bohem-
ian, German and Czech parties will end
today. The delegates are r%eticent respect
ing the proceedings of the German hold.
Count Taafe asked them to help him solve
the insoluble problem against themselves.
In Bohemia there are 100000 Germans
and 5000, 900 Czechs. The Germans stand
in that country in a stronger position than
Ulstermen in Ireland. Yet Taafe has
ignored them for ten years and given the
reign to the Czechs. He how finds that in
this he has not even pleased the
Czechs themselves; yet he now asks
the Germans to help him out of his diem
ma by making further concessions for the
sake Of peace. This they hold to be alb
surd politics. The Germans accuse Count
Taafe of trying to make all Bohemia a
Czech country and in consequence of the
success of his efforts in that direction they
say that German imperial patriotism is
disappearing. On the other hand the
Czechs do not contemplate the Germans
as innocent and helpless victims of perse-
cution and intimate that this is
not the first they have heard of the exclu-
sive virtue of that race. They accuse
the Germans of endeavoring to eradicate
from the country the Czech language and
institutions and whatever else may stand
in the way of German domination. and as
sert that they themselves have had fair
play in the conflict only since Count Taafe
has been in office. They do not dispute
the full right of the Germans to use their
own language in districts occupied by
them, but they hold that Bo-
hernia should be as independent
as Hungary is and claim the emperor
should recognize their national rights and
privileges by being crowned king Of Be-
hernia at Prague, as emperors formerly
were. The commandment of Berlin officially
denies the story that when the pass word
was given New Years day the emperor
formally addressed the officers regarding
smokeless powder. magazine rifles. etc.

Bit on the Temntinn Bait

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Jan. 13.-This sec
ton a few weeks ago was flooded with
circulars to Grand Army Posts from a Mrs.
Jennie Wells, of Yell county, Ark, who
wanted money to help clear her husband,
an ~ex-union soldier. who she claims was
u~njustly convicted of murder. The same
circulars went to Grand Army Posts all
oven the northwest and were followed in
some places by eloquent letters from Mrs.
Wells. A good deal of money was sent
her by old soldiers. Now comes a letter
from Arkansas department head
quarters, stating that the elo-
quent circulars and letters were
not write by Mrs. Wells, who is unable to
write her own name. That the scheme
was concluded by a very sharp
lawyer, Wells attorney, one j. P. Byers,
of Yell county, for the purpose of gather
ing In the funds. That Byers wrote the
circular and his wife the pathetic letter
signed Mrs. Wells and denouncing the
whole affair as a humbug. The old sol
diers who have contributed are disguised
at their own credulty.

EMMY down the aisle with the casket on
their shoulders. The casket bore no other
decoration than a large bunch of lilies and
mixed flowers.

directly behind the casket, and they were
followed by the members of the senate who
were present. Another rap from the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE scenes in
the house Of representatives to-day attend
ing the services over the remains OF the
late VIM. D. Kelley, the father of the
house," were very impressive, more so
perhaps, on account of the simplicity Of
the arrangements. Before noon, the hour
for the assemblage of the house, there was
nothing unusual to be observed in the
c~ommodious chamber except the crowds in
the galleries, and the two black casket
stands that stood In front of the clerks
desk. In the executive gallery were
Mrs. Harrison and Mr.. Halford, the pri-
vate secretary, Postmaster General
Wanamaker occupied a seat on the floor.
About ten minutes before y o'clock Vice
President Morton, leaning on the arm of
Capt. Bassett, the venerable assistant
doorkeeper of the senate, entered the
house at the head Of a score of senators.
The vice-president was conducted to a seat
to the right of the speakers platform,
the senators seating themselves at the
desks of representatives provided for
them.
The desk that Judge Kelly occupied for
so many years was drapped In mourning.
while a boquet of roses rested on its top.
On the clerks desk were two crossed
palm leaves covered with flowers. A few
minutes after noon Speaker Reed
brought down his gravel on the desk in
front of him with a sharp rap and direct
ed the clerk to read the journal of the
proceedings of yesterday. The opening
prayer was omitted. Just as the clerk fin
ished reading, A. J. Holmes, the sergeant
alarms, appeared at the main door of the
house. at the head of the funeral cortege.
which had proceeded from the Riggs
house to the capitol. Following Mr..

THE FAILURE A FRAUD.
Action of Chicago Lawyers for the Credit
Ors of Deimel Bros.

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-Twelve lawyers ap-
peared in Judge Collins court this morn
ing representing unsecured creditors for
$500. 900 of Deimel Bros, toprotest against
the proposed order allowing the receiver
to sell 2 1000 worth of manufactured
goods now in the warehouse of the firm.
Lawyer Mayer bodily declared that the
failure was a swindle. In September 1889
the firm made a statement and their
assets exceeded their liabilities by $780,
600. The liabilities today are 100000,
but what they are no one knows. They
have lately invested e~xtravagantly in fine
homes and | have positive information
that they have secreted large quantities of
goods in warehouses. Judge Collins di-
rected the firm to submit to examination
before tie master In chancery and told the
lawy ers to prepare an injunction against
the warehouse companies.

president Of the Mercantile National
Bank and vice-president of the Southern

the epitaph Of Jefferson Davis in terms

cordingly ! look upon the call for last
nights meeting as unnecessary
and utterly out of taste"

timents In common, and doubling if

Dispute with Portugal Settled.

LONDON, Jan. I0.-The Portuguese gov
eminent had forbidden the reception at
Q~uilliamane, near the mouth of the Fam
