WITH A HIGH HAND.
American Citizen Thrust Into
Prison at Berlin,
is CHARGED BY STUDENTS
with Mallsnins the Emperor, When
lie Never Opened Ills Mouth-A
Sorry Trick that VIII Havcto
DO Answered For,

BERLIN, June ia tremendous sen
salion has been caused here this weel
by tho arrest OF Joseph Jonasson, OF tb,
firm Of Meyer, Jonasson 4 Co., OF 35t
broadway, New York, on the charge o.
libelling Emperor William.
It appears that Mr.. Jonasson met q
couple OF students one evening whom he
had seen before, and went with them to
several places, when saldenly both Of
them turncdupon him and accused him
Of making Objectionable observations
about tho Emperor, although, as mat.
OF fact, tho laller's name had not been
mentioned.
Jonasson then noticed that both the
students We're drunk. He tried to
smooth the matter over as a joke, but
they refused to listen 10 him, and called
for the police, who were only too glad to
have the chance OF arresting IN Amer.
can. They took Mr.. Jonasson to dirty
little station house, where he was rudely
searched and all his valuables and pa.
pers taken from him. Mr.. Jonaeson pro.
tested against this treatment, called tho
officers attention to the drunken condi-
ton OF both students, and demanded to
be released, but all his protests were in
vain. ue was showed into van and
rapidly driven 10 police headquarters.
The officers at this station likewise de.
clined to entertain Jonasson's protests,
and ordered his instant removal to Jail.
He was then taken to Il dirty cell, com.
PEELED to give up his own clothes and to
wear prison garb. For three days and
nights he was kept in solitary coniiue-
ment, and given food in a filthy condi.
lion. At length, after suffering great pri.
vations, Mr.. Jonasson succeeded in get
Ting one OF the best lawyers in Berlin in.
terested in the case, and he was released
On bail.
The students now say they made the
charge while drunk, and, therefore, re-
member nothing about the affair. But
it is hardly likely they will be allowed
to get oil with such an excuse. Efforts
have been made to hush up the case,
but Americans refuse to listen to such a
proposal. The case is still before the
court. There is no doubt as to Mr..
]onasson's ultimate acqui.tal. When he
IS free he will probably move IN inquiry
's to tho conduct OF the police officials.

DEPENDENT PENSION BILL.
Aho Senate Orders tho Report of tho Con.
ference Committee Printed.

~ AoFeuco committee Printed.
WASHINGTON, D. G., June l2.-In the
Senate, to-day, Mr.. Davis presented the
conference report on the Dependent
Pension bill. and at tho request Of Mr..
Cullom proceeded to explain It. As to
III the question Of dependent parents, he
said that all the change made by the
1lll from existing law was, that whereas
the existing law required dependency to
exist at the time OF the soldiers death,
the pending measure merely required
dependency at the time OF tho applica.
Mr.. Edmunds inquired what was the
pension OF dependent parents.
Mr.. Davis replied that 1t was tho same
as under existing law. He went on to
say that the House substitute had con.
tained provision for service pensions
Tor tho benefit OF all who had reached
the age OF 60 years. That had been the
substantial point Of difference between
tho conteres. AS the result OF much
discussion, and considerable alteration.
that feature OF the bill had been en-.
tirely eliminated and the conleres Ind
agreed 10 strike out the words "and who
ale dependent on their daily labor, or
on the contributions OF others not
legally bound to their support" The
Senate bill, he said, had fixed the rate
OF pensions unqualified ut Sl2 a month.
but tho conteres had changed that aud
agreed to pension not exceeding slo.
and not less than So,
AS TO widows and minor children. the
provision OF the Senate bill had been
substantially a pension to tho widow of
not less than $l3 month, irrespective of
the cause 1.-THE soldiers death, whether
attributable to service. or not. That
provision had been the subjec. OF con.
siderable discussion in conference, and
the result had been combination OF
both the Senate and the House proyis.
ions.
Mr.. Plumb suggested that the matter
should lie over until the report was
printed with the bill, as 1t would be, if
the report was agreed to.
Mr.. Davis gave his consent, but said
lie would have to be absent part Of next
week.
DIR. dorman asked Mr.. Davis to maxi
Q statement as to the probable cost Of the
bill.
Mr.. Davis said that when the bill was
first before the Senate he had estimated
its cost at S35, ,90S.00O. lie thought that
the changes made would add about four
millions to the cost. His opinion was
that the bill would add between forty
one and forty.two millions year to the
present cost Of pensions.
Mr.. German expressed the hope that
when the report would come up again
for action the Senate would have the cs.
mate more in detail.
Mr.. Davis said that he would not un-
dertake 10 make out "bill OF particu-
lars" He thought his estimate Of S42,-
100000 was as high as the cost would
reach. He should not be surprised if it
fell largely below that sum, or if it ex.
ceedef it considerably.
The report went over and was ordered
printed with tho bill as agreed 10 by the
conference.
The Senate silver bill was then taken
up and Mr.. Evarts addressed the Senate.
