RICHTEE.'s CUSfOSETY.
the Prussian House OF Representa-
tIvcs Docs Not Satisfy 1t

BERLIN Jan. 2l.-[Special Cablegram to
THE BEE. In the Prussian house OF repre-
sentatives today Herr Richter raised a dis
cussion as to the remission of the stamp du-
ties on the deed of entail execution by OK
Minister Lucius Won Ballhausen, formerly at
the head of the department of agricul-
ture. Herr Richter charged the
ministers with taking an unfair ad-
vantage of their official positions
in order to further each others private in
terests. Finally Herr Richter made a motion
to the effect that the government inform the
house why these dues were remitted. Herr
Miguel minister of finance, replied for the
government and in pointed speech said that
there could be no possible dou bit that the right
of the crown to remit fees was absolutely
unassailable Herr Miguel continuing,
said that in the cases of Baron Lucus Won
Ballhausen, only the minister of finance and
the minister of Justice, DR.. Won Schelling,
had anything to do with the matter under
discussion. The question of the remission of
the stamp duties referred to, added Herr
Miguel, had not been the subject of a resolu-
tion acted upon by the whole cabinet. The
fees amounted to only 30, 900 marks and this
amount had been remtted in accordance with
the express wish of the late Emperor Fred
erlck, during whose reign the affair occurred.
After some further dis cIfssion Herr Rich
ter's motion was defeatedby large majority,
only Herr Richter's closest adhercnts, known
as the "Iichter circle" supporting him in the
motion made. Some time after the debate
had been closed and when the matter was
actually disposed Of it became known that
Baron Lucius Won Ballh hausen after he was
informed that the dues had been remltted,
handed the amount remittcd to the emperor
to dispose of as he thought best

1t Is Caused by Fire in n Chicago
Office Building
CHICAGO, Jan. Especial Telegram to
The BEE. What threatened to be serious
fire broke out shortly before noon today in
the Potvin building on Washington street,
opposite the city hall. The building is occu-
pied principally by lawyers and real estate
men for Offices. The basement Is used as a
restau rant An overheated stove in the dry
ing room, adjoining the kitchen, caused
board partition to ignite and the flames shot
up through the elevator shaft with alarming
raDidity. The occupants of the offices in the
building were apprised of their danger by
the smoke that entered through the crevices
in their doors. They rushed to the
Railways only to be confronted by
huge volumes of sitting smoke
which made retreat impossible. There are
no fire escapes on the building and the people
shut up in their offices became frantic with
fright. Visions of a horrible holocaust came
to the minds of the helpless lawyers and
terrified typewriter girls as they beheld the
clouds OF smoke accommodating about the Win
dows of the offices in which they We're i'm
prisoned. The windows were raised and the
now thoroughly frightened men and women
climbed out on the window ledges to escape
being smothcred by the smoke, which now
filled the rooms Of the building The fire de-
partment arrived and ladders were raised to
where the terrified people were clinging with
a deathlike grip by the lodges. One by one
they were rescued from their perilous posi-
tlons until they were all landed safely on the
ground. The pecuniary loss was small.

A BRACE OF ROAD AGENTS.
How Merohantable Prohibition Sheet
Bartered It's Soul.
ITS CROCODILE TEARS FOR THAyER,
The Independents Are Expected to
Give the Concern n Cold,
Wide BERTHA Few
Hard Facts.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 21.--ISpecial to THE
BEE. For number of years this city has
been afflicted with blnckmailing sheet that
has ostensibly been republican and more re-
Gently rampant prohibition.
II is an open secret here that the concern
has been simply in the hands of a brace of
road agents who hold up everybody who will
allow himself to be bled. Decent people hold
the concern in utmost contempt, and they
fully justify the course of TIE b ZEE in ignor-
ing It's dirty warfare and paying no attention
to the Shiny sneaks and hypocrites who are
constantly keeping up their mud singing.
Everybody here knows these rogues and
their methods. They are bankrupt in morals
and bankrupt in pocket While the senior
member Of the firm is VIGOROUSLY fire.
quenter Of saloons and gambling houses, the
columns of the blackguard sheet have been
pulveriaing the rum power, as old Nasby
would say.
But l am depressing, Just now these
scoundrels are shedding crocodile tears over
General Thayer, whom they have viii
lifted, abused and slandered most
shamefully. year in and year out.
1t may not be generally known, but happen
to be on to a little history. Two years ago
last summer, after Governor Thayer had been
renomlnated FOR second term, the editors of
this spurious republican paper went up to
Omaha after McShane Doodle. How much
they got for betraylng their party and selling
out Ihayer is only surmised. Common rumor
has 1t that the price asked was 81 800, and the
amount paid was $1,000. Suffice it to say
that the traitors got their price, and carried
out their bargain by waging the most dis
reputable war OH Thaycr through the bal
ance of the campaign. And nobody detes is
the outfit more heartily than Thayer.
Under pretense OF great devotion to anti
monopoly principles, the evening Road Agent
kept up redhot war against Auditor Ben
ton, but last fall the senior proprietor turned
up defaulter to the knights OF Pythias for
funds in his possession. And it is currently
reported that at this critical stage Tom Ben
ton was induced to advance enough money to
meet the deficiency and the good deacon
agreed to let Tom Benton severely alone
hereafter. That may explain the entire alb
sence of all reference TO Benton in our Even
ing Road Agent.
The intense sympathy of the concern for
the interests of the independents is on par
with its zeal for the cause of prohi-
bition : :. The testimony in the contest
shows that 81, 800 was the price asked for OPP
posing prohibition and the professional black
maiers only Topped when their tender was
refused. How much they got from the pro
hibs can't guess, but everybody here knows
that their support was paid for.
The paper would have gone to the wall
after the election if it had not been for the
plunder to be gotten ont of the contest and
the divy with the shysters who have worked
up the case.
hope the independents will have sense
enough to steer clear of this gang and give
them wide berth. LOOKING BACKWARD.
