THE CURSE OF EUROPE.
Criticisms of the Impressed Sol.
diers' Maneuyers.


BERLIN, Sept. 10. Military experts
are reviewing the recent series of army
maneuvers by Austrian, Bavarian and
Prussian troops, and all concur the opin-
ion that grave defects were exhibited by
the Austrian troops owing to the alb
sence of generals capable of directing
their movements without laundering.
Emperor William is reported as having
told Emperor Francis Joseph that his
men and officers were fit to meet any
enemy that might be brought against
them, but that his generals were
wanting in self-reliance, associated
with a Consciousness of their
inability to handle their men. The
Bavarian land Prussian maneuvers dis
closed less serious defects. The gen.
erals in these armies displayed great
efficiency and readiness to take the
initiative, but the cOlopelS commanding
the various regiments acted too much
like machines in adhering strictly to
the letter of their orders.
Last evening the emperor grouped
the officers Of his army in field near
Schlotheim and made brief speech to
them, in the course of which he advised
that less rigid system be followed in
marching and that treer methods be
adopted in drilling, in order to add elias
ITCHY to the movements of the troops.
At the same time, and in spite of his
criticisms, his majesty complimented
the troops upon their general efficiency.
High military authorities are all agreed
that both the Austrian and German
armies are now fully ready to meet the
enemy. Emperor Francis Joseph to-
night issued an order touching the
maneuters of the Austrian troops, in
which he commended the discipline and
efficiency shown by them, and said that
he was certain that the army would tul-
fill its duties, alike in peace and war.

Marauders Take Advantage OF the

MADRID. Sept. 19.-The bodies of
1900 victims of the flood at Consuegra
have been buried. The town wears a
most desolate aspect. The official
report of the disaster says $50

to be demolished. The lines of forty
eight streets of the town have been 1T

with robbing the dead. The damage
done by the floods is now estimated at
100000. The river Araraguillo, as a

THE PRIESTER VEREIN.
Congress of German Catholics in
Two Sections


BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 19.-The fifth
annual congress Of the German-speak-
ing Catholics, or "Katholiken Tag"
meets in this city Monday, and Will
hold daily sessions until the evening of
the 25th. The first congress was held
in Chicago, the second in Cincinnati,
the third in Cleveland and the fourth in
Pittsburg. Special interest attaches to
the Buffalo congress because Of the re-
cent development Of the Cahensly case.
A prominent priest made the following
statement to reporter. He said:
There are in the congress two differ
ent sections. One is made up of priests
and laymen. Its sessions are public.
The object seems to be the discussion
ofreliglous and politico-religious topics.
The other section is the 'Priester We
rein,' or the German Clerical union,
the sessions of which are held with
closed doors, clergymen only being adj
United. This is the real congress. AS
a matter of fact the 'Priester Verein'
was organized by itself i'll the spring of
1887, in Chicago. The first general con-
gress called by the 'Priester Verein'
was held in the fall of the same year.
The first call of the verein was signed
by a German priest of st. Louis, the
same who, In 1886, haGs ent petitions to
Rome asking for special recognition of
the German priests in America. and
who have been since the active leaders
in every movement calculated to pro-
mote the special organization of the
German Catholics. Many German Cath
OlicS look upon this movement as ILL
advised; as tending to misunderstand-
ing and divisions. The iEngliSh-speak-
ing Catholics declare it un-American.
1t may be. in view of the recent decla-
ration of the pope, that the approach
ing congress may make public decla-
ration to disarm this criticism"
In confirmation of this last statement
of the priest, it may be mentioned that
the manager of the Associated Press
has received letter from Mr.. Cahensly
saying that his object has been misun-
derStood and that he would take occa-
sion to more clearly explain it. The
committee on resolutions will meet at
2:30 pm. Monday. In the evening there
will be a grand torchlight procession.
Tuesday morning the pontifical mass
will be celebrated at ST. Joseph's ca
thedral. The sermon will be preached
by Right Rev. Bishop Zardetti, of ST.
Cloud, MINI. The first meeting of the
German American union will be held at
10 a. IN. Tuesday, and the first business
session Of the congress at O'Clock of
the same day. The first general session
open to the public will be held Tuesday
evening. The sessions will close with a
solemn mass of thanksgiving at St.Louis
church Thursday evening.

PARSONS TO MALONE
The Fallen Boss Scored in Caustic
Strain.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Col. H. G.
Parsons, the noted Virginia Republican
leader, has issued an open letter to Gen.
Malone questioning the right of the lat
ter to dictate the policy of the Virginia
Republicans in the next campaign and
censuring him, in polite terms. for doing
so. Col. Parsons principal grievance is
the action of Gen. Malone IN advising
the Republicans of the state, as chair
man of the state committee, not to NOM
mate any candidates in next cleo
ton.
Under what commission and by what
right" asks Col. Parsons, ''do you I'M
dertake this new indication ? The re-
sponsibility of leadership does not and
cannot depend upon your personal
opinion or preference" After scoring
Mr.. Malone for past actions and po-
sitions, Col. Parsons calls on him to
cancel his circular and to call a conven-
ton to consider the future policy of the
party. He says that if Gen. Mahone's
advice means anything, it means that
the Republican vote shall be delivered
to the Alliance, and he repeatedly asks
Gen. Malone upon what terms are the
Republicans sold? The Republicans of
Virginia can, he AYERS, if united and
aggressive, elect enough members of
the legislature to defeat Senator Daniel.

Small Delegations,

While Hennepin, Ramsey, Nicollet,

bault, Rice and other McGill and anti
Nelson counties will profit by the fall
ing off up north caused by the great
Alliance vote. In calling last years
convention the Republican state COM
mittee adopted the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved, That each county polling 500 or
more votes for the Republican candidate for
president in 1888 shall be entitled to two del
egates at large; those polling less than 500
votes, one delegate at large; within each
county one additional delegate for every 500
votes cast for president in 1883, and one DEL
egate for fraction over 100.
In the convention of last year, under
this scheme Otter Tail county, for eX-
ample, was entitled to ten votes. Last
year Gov. Merriam received but 1895
votes in that county as against 3,96S in
1888. On the basis of two years ago
Otter Tail next year will be entitled
to only five delegates in the state con-
vention. The vote of the other counties

Spectators at Work.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - lnforma-
ton has reached the interior depart
ment from various sources that specu-
lators are preparing to use powers of
attorney. obtained from very large
number Of eX-soldierS, to file declaratory
statements under section 1904 of the
Revised Statutes on lands to be opened
to settlement by the presidents procla-
nation of yesterday, without any bona
fide intention on the part of the soldiers
to become permanent settlers.
Acting upon this information, Com
missioner Carter, in his letter of in
structlons to the registers and receivers
OF the land Offices to which this new
country is attached, declares that ''any
such proceedings would be fraudulent,
and you will endeav0r to defeat them,
if attempted, by any means properly in
IN your yower. You will advise bona
tide settlers not to purchase relinquish-
ments of such filings when it appears
that they were made with the intent
not to follow them up by settlement in
good faith under the law"
1t is stated at the general land office
that their information is to the effect
that INSCRIPTIONS persons have pur-
chased from thousands of old soldiers
i'll different parts of the country for a
very small consideration, usually S.,
powers of attorney to enter, in their
name, these Oaklahoma Indian lands.
In most of these cases the soldier had
no intention of ultimately making
his home on the land, and the
entry forms a cloud upon the
title of an actual settler who may have
gone upon the land few hours after
the soldiers entry was filed. In these
cases the actual settler, particularly if
he is not approached until he has eX-
pended sum of money in improve
ments, would be willing to pay some
thing. say $50 or 500, to have the cloud
removed. But for the prompt action of
the interior department officials the
revenues of the so-called attorneys from
this source would undoubtedly have
been large.
