| them in controlling the mob. The gen.
d'armes did so, and were compelled to
make a number of arrests before order
could be restored. The coffin of the IN
| fortunate general was covered with hun
dreds of floral wreaths, tied with tri-col~
ored ribbons, mostly sent from France by
his political admirers. In addition there
were number of tri-color flags festooned
about and draped about the casket con-
attaining the remains of the once popular
idol of a large section of the French peo-
pie.
Vast crowds of persons congregated
along the route traversed by the funeral
cortepe. A decorous silence was observed
by the throngs as the hearse passed on Its
way to the last resting place and most OF
the people in the crowd uncovered their
heads At the entrance of the cemetery
the advance of the funeral procession was
delayed by the actions OF mob, who had
gathered at that place and were roughly
crowding about the gates, seeking admit
tance to the graveyard TO witness the last
scenes. The gendarmes succeeded in clear
ing passage and the grave was at length
reached. The coffin was then taken from
the hearse and lowered into the grave.
There were no religious services whatever,
and no speeches were made. The only GER
emony. If ceremony it may be called, was
performed by NJ. Deroulede, who, taking
up the tri-color, put the flag to his lips
aud placed it on the confiin, at the same
time exclaiming, Farewell, my friend.

MILITARY PREPARATIONS.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 3.-An imperial
ukase has been issued instructing the Cos
sack population Of the Ural districts to
hold their horses ready at the varions mill
tary centers. This action is taken SO that
the horses may be at the disposal of the
Russian government in the event of a
mobilization OF the troops being found
necessary.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-The German artillery
maneuvers which have been in progress at
Jutrebeck, twenty miles south of Berlin,
have been attended by Count Schliffen,
chief of the general staff, and $50 staff offi-
GERS A fort built on the shooting range
eight years ago was made use OF, and other
works were erected for a test of the guns.
A large number of heavy fortress guns
were tried for the first time, the results be-
ing so satisfactory as to surprise the most
experienced artillery officers. A feature OF
the occasion was the use of strong farm
horses to draw caunOn about the field in
stead of the transport horses used last
wear, and which were found too weak even
for the lighter guns then employed. The
artillery maneuvers are considered by the
kaiser as hardly less important than those
of the cavalry and an elaborate report of
the proceedings is being made for the i'm
perial information.
The proposition to reduce the term of
military service to two years has been re-
oeived with favor by portion of the Ger
man press and is known to be favorably
regarded by the kaiser The very vastness
and expense of the German military sys-
TEN, however, makes it difficult, If not i'm
possible, to effect the desired change,
which would be great relief to the peo-
pie. Some high military authorities claim
that it would impair the military vigor of
the empire, while others have a contrary

GRAIN GAMBLING ILLEGAL

ST. PAUL, Oct. 3-The supreme court OF
Minnesota Yesterday handed down a de.
Clslon Of first Importance to grain gam.
blers, which knocks out dealers in futures
and the lower courts IN one SweepinC
blow. The decision is far-reaching, as il
will enable men who get caught on the
boards of trade 10 repudiste their con-
tracts unless they buy and sell real grain.
The decision was written by Judge Van
derbUrg, and the case was that Of Oscar
Mohr against Anton Miesen. Oscar Nch-
and others, who are brokers IN the Nil
waukee chamber OF commerce, sued
Miesen for money expended in the pur-
chase and sale OF grain. The answer set
up was that the purchases and sales
referred To were not actual purchases or
sales OF grain, but were merely gambling
transactions whereby the plaintiff IL form
undertook TO buy and sell on the CHICAGO

RAILWAY GOSSIP.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Mr. E, I. Jeffrey. the
newly appointed president of the Denver
and Rio Grande, declares that there is no
foundation for the published reports that
the Atchison has acquired an interest in
or control OF the Rio Grande If close
traffic alliance should be formed it will
more likely be with the Burlington or with
the Rock Island than with the Atchison.
Sentiment has changed again here in re-
gard TO the deal, and the belief now seems
to be general-that the Atchison has failed,
not only to secure control of the Denver
and Rio Grande, but even to make a
traffic agreement with it.
Chairman Finley today announced a
decision dismissing the charges which be
himself made against the Atchison. 1t ap-
pears that on Aug. "a one of his spotters
purchased in a scalper's Office in Chicago
a harvest excursion ticket reading over
the Atchison and dated Aug. IS. The
ticket had been sold by the Atchison
ticket agent at St. Joseph. Without de-
nying the charge, the Auchison set up as
defense that notice had not been properly
served upon it under the agreement, which
requires that notice shall be served at the
ticket office Of the company within twen-
ty-four hours after the discovery of the
offense committed. Mr.. Finley admitted
the point TO be well taken and dismissed
the case.

GLADSTONE AT NEWCASTLE.

NEWCASTLE, Oct. 3-The town hall here
today presented a most animated spectacle
the occasion being the presentation of the
freedom of the city to Nlr. Gladstone. As
early as 10 O'Clock the immense building
was packed. As Mr. Gladstone entered
the hall. accopsnied by the mayor and
mayoress Of Newcastle and Mr.. John
Morley, the immense audience arose and
greeted him with prolonged and enthusi-
asuc cheering. Mr.. Gladstone and his
party proceeded to the platform and when
order had been restored, the mayor arose
and delivered long eulogy on the life and
work of Mr.. Gladstone. He then presented
Mr.. Gladstone with the parchment max
ing him a citizen of Newcastle, and the
latter signed his name to the list of bur
geSSes or freemen of the city. Then ad-
dressing the vast audience, Mr. Gladstone
spoke In praise IF local self-government
Later on, referring to free trade. Mr.
Gladstone said: Our children and kins-
men IN America, to whom we have looked
and might still look to teach us many use
full legislative lessons, have set US in this
matter an example of retrograde ma
ton" Continuing, Mr.. Gladstone said
he hoped that in the long run both Eng
land and America would be influenced bv
the example and triumphs of their prede-
cessors. Although, be added, there re-
mains much TO do, yet greet advanC-me~t
Enthusiastic cheers.
Upon leaving the town hall Mr.. Glad
stone received an ovation from the i'm
mense conCOurse Of people gathered IN
that neighborhood. After lunch Mr.. and
Mrs. Gladstone started for Hawarden.
LONDON, Oct. 3-Tbe newspapers of this
city all contain exhaustive comments
upon Mr.. Gladstone's speech delivered at
Newcastle last night.
The Times says: Mr.. Gladstone never
before so completely abdicated the func-
tlons OF great leader or sunk so abso-
lutely TO the position of mouthpiece of q
political machine. He plays the part of a
mere Snowman Of the wares turned ont bv
caucus. His profound belief in his com
ing success renders his actions all the more
extraordinary"
The Standard CONSERVATIVE saws: 'It
becomes increasingly difficult to criticise
Mr.. GlaustOne's speeches. He does not
make the most simple effort to direct
public opinion, but merely inquiries of
wlre-pUllers what proposals are likely to
attract votes or TO sssist the home rule
plans; and having cautiously assured HIM
self that the transaction is a having one
he pledges himself TO the bargain. .
DUBLIN, Oct. S.-United Ireland today
publishes an interview with PSrnelI in
which he contended that Gladstone in
devoting three-fifths OF his Newcastle
speech 10 other subjects, although he for
mally declared that he must leave every-
thing but the question Of home rule 10
younger men, proved that he followed the
swing around OF the Liberal party.

KNIGHTS OF RECIPROCITY.

special Dispatch TO the Daily Eagle
HARPER, Kan, Oct. 3.-On yesterday
afternoon Alvin Campbell OF Garden City,
Kan, state grand lecturer of the knights
of Reciprocity was in the city in the inter-
est of that order. He interviewed quite a
number of our leading citizens and found
them in warm sympathy with the objects
of that new and popular institution. In a
short time he will return and perfect the
organization of large lodge here. A
number of other engagements and the
political Work already laid out by our po-
litical managers caused its postponement.
The Republican league has just been or
ganized at Harper and is being organized
in the out precincts. Mr. Campbell had
no desire to break into the program of
work already laid out. The reciprocity
idea is meeting with so much favor that
we will soon have large and prosperous
lodge here.
Before his return is Garden City Mr..
Campbell will visit Anthony, kiugman
and other places.

BERLIN, Oct. 3.-An official dispatch
from Fredensberg today announces that
the car and czari9a are expected to arrive
there on Tuesday. Their majesties may
remain at Fredensberg until after the
celebration of their silver wedding annl-
versary. which occurs on the 2Sth instant,
returning to St. Petersburg via Berlin.
There is nothing to indicate that the
meeting of the cZar and Emperor William
viii be invested with diplomatic import
ance 1t will probably be a brief visit of
courtesy. The Russian embassy in this
city has not received any instructions re-
garding the visit Of the cZar Despite the
Drotestations in favor of peace which are
heard on all sides, the relations between
the governments at Berlin and It Peters
burg remain strained. The press attacks
upon the Russian loan extend to Russian
stocks generally, calling TO mind the
period few years ago when the banking
houses tabooed every thing Russian. Then
Argentine and other foreign loans filed
the vacuum left by the withdrawal of Rus
sian securities. Now, according to bourse
reports, the way is being cleared for large
operations in Amrrlcan shares of various
kinds. Regarding the czar's presence in
Berlin. the journalists who are obliged to
record the event have no agreeable antlci-
patton of their duties. The preparations
which hsve been taken to prevent any but
officials approaching the car are so strict
that even the authorized representatives
IF the press will be kept at a distance.
Replies TO inquiries made of the leading
wholesale dealers here and in Hamburg
regarding the trade in American pork
show that IL is still limited. The
cost of inspection in America, combined
with the duty still imposed here, prevents
the natural increase in the sale OF Ameri-
can hog products The dealers are COM
bining in an attempt to get the govern
ment to reduce the duty, which is now 10
marks per 100 pounds Until this is done
no marked impetus can be given to the
trade in American pork.
The rescript providing that foreign in
Burance companies must invest In PruS-
sian consols is largely due to the influence
of the German companies, which have be-
come jealous of the amazing success of the
American companies, which are now ac-
auiring the greater part of the insurance
business throughout the country. None
Of the great American companies operat-
ing here, however, is likely to be obstruct-
ed in its business. The rescript was long
foreseen by them, and preparations to
meet it had been made.
Inquiries made of the chambers of COM
merce of various cities in relation to the
projected international exhibition in Ber-
lin in 1884 elected responses from 12S
chambers Of this number 50 favor an ex-
hibition, twenty-seven decline to express
any opinion regarding the project, while
the remainder are hostile TO any exhibit
ion, national or international The alb
sence of all enthusiasm in regard to the
project and the entire lack of unanimity
settles the fate Of the exhibition, at least
for 1894. The general opinion seems to be
that it would not be advisable to hold a
universal exhibition until n number of
years after the Chicago worlds fair.

RIOTOUS PILGRIMS.

ROME, Oct. 3.-The pope is deeply af-
fected by the disorders which occurred
yesterday in this city through the objec-
tionable conduct of some of the French
pilgrims who were visiting the tomb of
King Victor Emmanuel in the Pantheon
The pope has issued instructions that all
Catholic pilgrims in Rome are to remain
tranquil, in fear of displeasure displayed
by bands of young men and others who
paraded the streets to mark their disap-
probation of the pilgrims sconduct, and
that the latter are in every way to do all
in their power to avoid giving cause for
disturbances.
