DEBTS OF THE KAISERS.

Emperor Frederick and His Son had
Many Creditors.
BERLIN, July PA book concerning
the Emperor Frederick has recently
been seized by the police. 1t contains
much that is remarkable and new. His
generosity involved him in network
Of debt and compelled him to resort to
the usurers frequently for the aid which
his father refused. He was obliged
to pay sometimes 80 per cent. The
author says he saw ore of the Crown
Princes notes for $500 marks
at this rate of interest. Finally En-
peror William learned of the difficulty
and worried over it almost constantly.
When Frederick assembled the throne
his total Indebtedness fell little short of
10, O00, 900 marks. Frederick never re-
covered from the fortunes of mind and
body to which his financial trouble sub
jected him. The author says that the
reigning HohenZolIern also was in
volved in great financial difficulties in
his last years before ascending the
throne. His embarrassment was caused
by his fathers thrift and by his own
extraVagant habits.

AGAINST ALLIANCE DOCTRINES
Address by the Democratic Editors of the
State of Kansas.

Topeka, Kas., July 27-About thirty
five members of the Democratic Press
Association of Kansas are assembled
here in convention. The committee APP
pointed to prepare an address to the
people OF the state have completed
their work, and it will be read at the
banquet at the Troop House
this evening. The address express
es sympathy with any BODY of
persons seeking reform and contending
against existing evils in laws and adj
ministration of the government. On
the questions which are interesting the
farmers at present the address says:
We believe IN abolishing the iniquitieS Of
class legislation in tariff legislation. We
believe in return to the financial system
of the country practiced from the tounda-
ton of the government to the
year 1873. We believe in the abo-
litiOn of the bankrupt system. We
believe III vigorous ami wholesome control
of the transportation system OF the cOun-
try. To those who favor governmental
loaning of money on products of the
soil, we quote maxim by one
of the founders of the government:
1.-The government must not become a bank
en-" We oppose governmental purchase
of railroads, but we believe in legislative
control of the interest of the people, whose
chartered servants they are We emphat-
icaly oppose the proposition for the gov
eminent to purchase the surplus products
of the soil, as being plain violation of the
constitution.
The administration of President Har-
rison, the appointment of w. w. Dud-
ley to bis present position, and the ac-
ton of the Senate in upholding Senator
Quay and the Mckinley tariff law are
strongly denounced.
In conclusion the address makes a
strong appeal to the Democrats of the
state to perfect organizations and stand
fast to Democratic doctrines. The
scheme of fusion with the Peoples par
ty is not endorsed or advised.

CARRIED TO THE TRAIN.
The Pretty Richland NIininer Taken to

The Pretty Richtand Milliner Taken to
the Penitentiary.
LANCASTER, Wis, July 23.-Many eyes
were filed with tears and many hard
hearts relented when, at 9:15 this morn
ing, the seemingly lifeless body of Rose
Zoldoske was carried from a car
riage to the car which was
to convey her to her future home be-
hind the bars at Waupun. Many ex
pressions of sympathy, and. looks which
expressed far more than words, were
to be heard or seen on every
side. Numbers of people who had
openly denounced her most bit
terly we're perceptibly moved at
the sad sight, and many head was
turned to conceal glistenlng tears shed
for the girl who, guilty or not, has been
sentenced to pass the rest OF her natural
life behind prison walls.
The scene at the county Jail was equal
ly sad At few minutes after 9 O'Clock
the bus drove to the side gate of the
jail yard and waited for the prisoner.
Supported on one side by Deputy
McGonigal, and on the other by
one of her lady friends, she
was almost carried across the little
stretch OF lawn between the jail door
end the gate. A few sympathetic
ladfes were in readiness to assist
the fair prisoner. One carried a
huge basket of flowers which were to
help to brighten her long and gloomy
rAle. Rose was of a deathly pallor, and
the black silk travelling dress and dark
hat which she wore made the contrast
more striking. Not word was spoken
by her.
AS soon as she had been lifted in the
bus she was rapidly driven to the
depot, where large crowd filed the
platform. During the ride Rose seemed
to be in stupor, and, on arriving
at the depot, was wholly unable
to assist herself. Deputy McGonigal,
who has been one Of the prisoners best
friends and who panies her to
Waupun, took her in his arms and car
ried her to her seat in the
coach. The train, which was held
little over time, Immediately pulled
out. The. last night in the jail was
passed by the prisoner under
the influence of narcotic. She seems
to nave lost all hope. Early in the
evening she said to The woman in at
tendance: 81 am innocent They have
urged me to have hope; that as long
as was innocent everything
would come out right; but now
I have no hope. forgive

POLES WANT A BISHOP.
Pennsylvania Catholics Pushing the Ca
hens1y Movement.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 27.-Despite
the opposit on which has been de-
veloped in this country to what is kno wn
as the Canhensly movement, both on
the part of archbishops, bishops, gener-
al ecclesiastics and laity, the special
committee of this city is en-
gagged in creating a sentiment in
favor of the appointment by the
Papal See of Polish bishop for the
United States. 1t had originally been
intended that committee of fifteen
should leave for Rome this week, but
tleir departure has been deferred, ow
ng to the fact that the amount Of
money necessary has not yet been
subscribed. Subscriptions are being
collected in most of the principal cities
OF the country and up in the mining re-
gions of this state-most Of the Polish
laborers having contributed from % to

quite a number of Prostestants have
contributed to the fund.

and who was appointed scientific COM
missioner to the Vienna exposition
by Gen. Grant, says that be

it has been determined to get the mat
ter before the Pope. There are ,50O,-

cannot speak English or make their
necessities known to Irish priests.
The delegation, when it leaves, will
bear largely signed petition, and
which will contain among the names
those of Charles H. Meyer, the German
consul, and w. A. Kerr, chairman of
the Democratic State Committee. It is
said that there are now two priests in
Rome paving the way for the delega-
ton.
The Poles are in favor of the appoint
ment of Archbishop Hryniewiecki, who
is an assistant at the papal throne. He
is noted scholar, and was once an ex-
lie in Siberia, from which place the
Papal See secured bis release. The
petition will urge that the Poles do not
want to set up class religion, that the
movement is not a purely religious one,
but that the appointment is desired
simply as a measure to improve the

ing of convict named Harris by one

The impression is that in view of tho
extra session of the legislature to be
called to meet in September, the miners
will acquiesce in the decision of Gov.
Buchanan to send the convicts back to
the mines until the legislature takes
action on the convict lease question. If
they do not, troops will almost certain
ly take the convicts back to Briceville
tomorrow. The governor will hold an
other conference this evening with rep
resentatives of the miners.
