The Emperor of Germany.

LONDON, July 9.-The Emperor of Ger
many arose early this morning. After
taking canter in Rotten Row he returned
to Buckingham place, where, in company
with the Empress, he received populations
from various German social and benevo-
lent societies of London and the diplomatic
corps.
This afternoon the Emperor again
visited Rotten Row, attended only by an
aide de camp, and dressed in the uniform
of Prussian general. He was mounted
on one OF his own horses brought over
from Germany. Later the Prince and
Princess OF Wales give garden party al
Marlborough house in honor of the Emperor
and Empress, which was a great success.
Here their maiesties met number of
the British and German aristocracy. Music
was furnished by the band of the Britith
guards and that of the Prussian Royal
dragons, the latter being sent TO England
on purpose to play at this party. Thou
sands OF people crowded the neighborhood
of Marlborough house, anxious to catch a
glimpse OF their German majesties.
The Emperor assisted the Queen to
alight from her carriage on her arrival and
accompanied her 10 seat After refresh
ments the Emperor aud Empress were
shown the grounds. After dinner in Buck
ingham palace, the Queen returned to
Windsor and the imperial visitors attended
concert in Albert hall, where THE
Golden Legend was sung, the royalties
occupying the Queens box. The Emperor
wore the uniform of British admiral. The
Empress wore a dress of cardinal silk,
with dazzling tiara OF diamonds. At the
conclusion of the ''kalser's March, the
audience arose and cheered the imperial
visitors, who bowed in response.

Blaine as a Presidential Candidate

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
WASHINGTON, July 9.-There is report
here that friends of Mr.. Blaine. in view of
his constant poor health and the impression
abroad that his name must Do removed
from the list Of presidential candidates,
Will shortly confer as to what should be
done with the anti Harrison movement in
progress in MIR. Blaine's interest. Mr..
Blaine is very sick man and some Of the
most ardent of his admirers have despaired
Of ever seeing him an active force in poll
tics again. 1t IS from this source thai the
suggestion of a conference comes. In q
word, the necessity has arisen of agreeing
upon a man who can beat the President for
the nomination. Mr.. Blaine has been
agreed upon and was seemingly certain Of
success. Republicans who had never sup
ported him before were beginning to de-
clare for him with enthusiasm, but he has
gone down under hard work and domestic
affection and the place Of the leader Ia
vacant. Mckinley, Depew, Hawley, Reed,
Cullom, Sherman, all are mentioned, but
so far none of them has commanded much
support. The demand is for a man who
can rally followers from every section Of
the country. Everything will depend OF
what Mr. Blaine's condition may be next
year. Should he surprise the country and
become strong again, the understanding is
that he must make the race and that the
compromise man agreed upon is to grace
fully stand aside. The conference in ques-
ton will not take place until the return of
Mr. Clarkson from Europe. He il ex-
uected back next month.

Cannibalism in Brazil.

NEW YORK, July "a little three column
newspaper printed in the interior of Braeil,
which reached here to- day, contains hor-
rible story Of cannibalism. A man named
Clement Viera is under arrest at Salinas,
state of Minas, Brazil, charged with eating
human flesh. In a talk with the editor he
said for some time ne and number of
others had lived upon human flesh, and
when asked what motive impelled them to
such barbarous acts, said il was because
they liked il. When asked how they Sc
cured the first victim, he said he went one
day to the house of friend named Lean
dro, who invited him TO eat a piece OF his
Geandro's) dead child. He was hungry
and did so. The following day he found a
woman asleep by the roadside, killed her
and took the body home. Soon after he
killed a friend named SImplicio, and with
the assistance OF Francisco and others ate
him. When his flesh was all consumed, Sim
plicio's two sons were killed for a further
supply Of food. Later on Bssilio and the
prisoner killed and deyoured Francisco,
and finally Vieria, having discovered that
Basilio had stolen shirt from him, killed
him. He ate very little of him, however,
for he was arrested within two days of the
murder. Vieria was captured In the act of
making meat Of portion of Basilio's re-
mains. The soldiers found part Of Basil
los body buried away in barrel, pre-
pared with pepper and salt
"Then has human flesh an agreeable
taste.' Vieira was asked
mo" he replied. SIT is too sweet. The
part found most toothsome was the brain.
We ate it fresh, roasted or boiled, seasoned
with sail and a great deal of pepper"
Vieira expressed no remorse for what he
had done.

Phoebe Cousins Dat ofOfice.

CHICAGO, July 9.-Judge Blodgett de-
dided the Phoebe Cousins case this morn
ing by rendering sweeping decision
against the ex-secretary of the board of
Lady managers of the Worlds fair. The
court held in snort that Miss. Cousins was
out of office and for good and can not get
back.
The case was decided on exceptions made
by Miss Cousins TO the answer filed TO her
bill for an Injunction to restrain the de-
PENDANTS from ousring her from office.
The court held the board of managers
created by the national commission and
received its powers from that body. These
powers extended to the executive com
mittee of the board of lady managers and
it had full powers to act in as much as
Congress had not provided for q continuous
session of the board OF lady managers
which mad TO delegate its powers to a com
mittee. THIS committee, the court held, is in
fact the board itself. The court thereupon
denied the injunction as paryed for.

United States vs.. ]. N. Egan.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July Elm the case of
the United States VS.. J. NJ. Egan and c. H.
Holdridge, of the Chicago, St. Paul &
Kansas City road on trial for alleged viola
ton OF the interstate commerce law, Judge
Thayer this morning instructed the jury to
find for the defendants.
The evidence in the case shows that at
the time of the alleged unlawful sale Of
5000 tickets the company had on sale, and
publicly advertised for sale, two kinds of
frst-class tickets from ST. Paul to Chicago,
one termed an ''unlimited'' ticket which
was sold at S11.50, and one termed film
ited' ticket, which was sold for 500.
Each was in reality unlimited, and hence
that sixth section of the interstate act
was violated. The court, however. was
satisfied from the evidence in the case that
there was difference between the tickets,
those OF the unlimited class, under the
company's regulations, being entitled to
stop-over privileges, while the company in
the case of limited tickets reserved the
right to make a continuous passage, al
though the tickets sold were not punched
In the margin so as to limit the period Of
use. The Judge therefore instructed the
jury ito acluit the defendants on all counts
of the indictment"

A CANNIBAL FEAST
Haytien Negroes Sacrifice a Lit
tie Child.
The Infant First Put to sleep-Its Head
Severed-The Remains Cut up and
Boiled and Eaten.

Especial to THE HERALD-EIaminer Dispatch.1
New YORK, July 9.-The Sun gives the
details of a recent act of cannibalism
which was committed in German a few
miles from Port au Prince, Hayti. 1t was
conducted by the papaloi, or village priest.
The ceremony was begun by the burning
OF aromatic plants around a sleeping child
two or three years old, which had been put
to sleep by herbs. The papaloi stepped up
to the infant and severed the head from tae
body with one stroke of sharp knife and
passed it to all present. While the head
was being passed the papaloi cut up the
body, which was thrown into a large iron
pot with some red peas, rice and other ma
tive vegetables. During the cooking the
negroes danced around the fire. The end is
reached when the participants become so
excited and exhausted that they throw
themselves in a heap upon the ground
where they roll over each other and howl.
When the dancers have recovered they
gathered for the feast and devoured every
particle Of the child. Having finished they
gathered the bones in hole in the ground,
buried them and erected a wood cross over
the grave.
The gentleman who furnished the above
information to the Sun said that he knew
personally a woman living at La Croix des
Bouquets, ten miles from Port au Prince,
whose seven children were eaten at voudoo
dances during her absence by their grand
mother and the neighbors-

The Davis Viii Case.

HELENA, Mont, July Especial tele-
gram to TIE HERALD. Colonel r. G.
Ingersoll closed the argument in the SD
preme court to day in the appeal taken by
the contestants in the Davis will contest.
The appeal is from ruling by Judge Nc
Hatton refusing change Of venue from
Silver Bow county, where the vast estate
lies. The chief justice said the court would
want at least ten days and suggested an
agreement to postpone for one week. The
case was set for trial in Butte, July %,
which will doubtless be done. Colonel
Ingersoll said they would prove the fraudu-
lent character of the will beyond the
shadow of doubt. He also said that when
that had been done they expected that

son of the dead millionaire would assert a
claim to the estate despite the fact that he

ANXIETY Over the Emperor's Speeches.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examner Cabie.1
LONDON, July 9.-Iruth published to-day,
says: 1.-The official programme of the En-
peror's visit was printed five times in con-
sequence of the alterations in the arrange
ment. During the fortnight proceeding
the Kaiser's arrival 200 kilograms, many of
great length, passed between Berlin and
Windsor. The Emperor's irrepressible
habit of delivering harangues of the crack
Drained description so well known, has
caused great anxiety to the Queen. Ever
since the visit TO England was arranged
there have been strong apprehensions at
court that his majesty would either startie
the company with some unfortunate refer
ence to Russia and France, or that he
would make an embarrassing declaration
on the subject of the triple alliance. The
Queen has stipulated that the Emperor
shall write out his city speech and his other
speeches and submit his proposed declara-
tons to her approval. At the Guild Hall
his majesty will either read from a paper
or repeat the orations sanctioned by the
Oueep.n
