COMING OF THE INVADERS.
Miners Waiting TO Meet Them ON I
Mountain Trail.

PALxER, May II. g. m.-lSpecial. l. The
negro special has crossed the mountains and il
past Weston. The east-bound freight runs into
Canton siding TO ief 1t pass and then comes the
special train bearing the negroes. Il consists
OF eight passenger, one baggage and
one freight car carrying household goods
belonging 10 the invaders. IL will run into the
stone siding below Palmer and there discharre
its burden From there the new comers viii
march over the trail three miles from Franklin
where all will be ready TO receive them,
the company's officials with q hot supper
and open houses and the miners prob
ably with shouts of opprobrium The
negroes will be well protected, however. for
there is a large force of guards on the train aud
there are four Of Sullivan's men here ready 10
guard the train on its arrival, all armed with
Winchesters. The miners are not unprr-
pared TO receive them They have estab-
lished camp in the woods at a
point where the train crosses the new
quarry road about half mile south of Palmer
station and bearing westward one and Quarter
mile from Franklin mines, the shortest routa
from Palmer to the coal fields. II is occupied
by fifteen men under the leadership of Gsbs
Hoskins and Harry Leach. Here IL is intended
TO meet the negroes and present TO
each of them copy of circular

But the timber is small being

through the forests about thirty-hve years ago.
II would, however, be favorable place for an

BERLIN, May 15.-|Associated Press.
Copyrighted, 1891. THE negotiations for
decentralization commercial treaty with
Spain become curiously involved with the
reciprocity convention proposed by the
United States. The German embassy at
Madrid sent dispatch to the effect that
the Spanish minister of foreign affairs had
received overtures for treaty with Ger
many fasorably and told the German am
bassador that the cabinet meant TO renew
treaties generally on the principle OF re-
ciprocity as far as was compatible with a
protective policy. Since this, however, the
concession to the United States has be-
come known. This causes difficulty
with the European powers. Spain has
agreed to give American imports into Cuba
and Porto Rico differential rate of % per
cent, against similar imports from all
other countries, whether or not they con-
cludc treaties with Spain. Such privilege
constitutes practical customs union be-
tween the United States and the Spanish
Antilles, and blocks the further negotia-
tions which the German ambassador had
undertaken simultaneously with the Aus
trian, Italian and Belgian ministers.
Spain has been invited to send delegate
to customs conference in Vienna, where
the difficulty might be discussed. Ger
man traffic with the Antilles is of no great
importance, but the formation of treaty
recognizing exclusive American privileges
is hardly possible. The Madrid govern
ment finds that every country of Europe
takes a similar view of the matter.
The resignation of Herr Maybock, Prus-
sian minister of public works, removes
from the public stage the last minister of
the old emperor except Boetticher. The
latter is now on the eve of departing. 1t
is reported that he viii become president
of the province of Schleswig- Holstein,
Herr Won Benningsen succeeding to the
home office and Herr Miguel. imperial
minister of finance, becoming vice presi-
dent OF the Prussian council. The i'm
pending changes add power to the Ma
tional Liberals in the ministry.
The press is discussing pamphlet, sup
posed to have been inspired by Bis
marck, assailing the emperor's tenden-
cIes toward absolutism. The paper argues
that the ministers alone ought to be re-
sponsible, and that the sovereign ought to
especially avoid rhetorical declarations, as
in the proportion that his fallibility be-
comes obvious viii the respect for him
suffer. 4 chapter on "The Kaiser His
Own Minister" blames Chancellor Won
Caprivi for not using his influence to pre-
vent the emperor's injudicious public ut
terances, compares Germany to rudder-
less ship and accuses the emperor of con-
sulting fayorite advisers behind the backs
of his ministers.

BEN BUTLER TRIUMPHs.
His Client Regains Her Liberty on .
Writ of Personal RepIeyin.

Boston, May l6.-General Butler has secured
the temporary release OF Mrs. Ciaretta johnson.
his client recently sentenced to prison for per-
jury, and on whose account the general was
elected from the court OF Judge Carpenter.
Mrs. Johnson regains her liberty on writ of
personal replevin," q process SO rarely en-
pioyed that it is almost unknown. The last
case brought to the supreme court wherein this
writ was issued was in 1854 and the only excep-
tion from its operations was the the precept OF
the king, when in i7S5 Massachusetts, passed a
statute explaining the writ of replevin The
law in relation 10 personal replevin remained as
it was down to 1886, when the commissioners
revised the statutes. Mrs. johnson furnished
bonds and is now free.
