PARIS, Sept. 3.-Some or the newspa-
pers of this city recall parts of the late
Emperor Frederick's diary, which
Prince Bismarck tried to suppress, re-
vealing King Leopola's congratulations
10 Emperor William on the victory at
Sedan, and later King Leopold's in
trigue with Bismarck and Theirs,
frustrated by Royalsts and Re
publicans, to get himself mad
king of combined France and Bel
GUM. The object of the reminder is to
persuade Premier de Freycinet to keep
strong force within an easy distance
of the Meuse, on the ground that King
Leopold is still inclined to violate the
neutrality of Belgium in the interests
of Germany. LIE Soir believes that a
secret entente to that end exists be-
tween Emperor William and King Leo
pold, but that the latter has been COM
PEELED to be prudent since the Geff1cken
revelations.

Editorial Views Of Present
Appearances With an Eye
for War.

VIENNA, Sept. 3.-Emperor William,
OF Germany, accompanied by Chancel
lor Won Caprivi, at Horn, this morning,
met Emperor Francis Joseph, of Aus
tria, who was accompanied by the king
Of Saxony, and the entire party, sur
rounded by brilliant military suites and
escorts of cavalry, proceeded on horse
back to the headquarters at Gopfritz, of
the Austrian army, engaged in the
maneuvers. The country around Cop
fritz has been expressly selected for the
military movements, owing to its suita-
bility for furnishing good test of the
advantages or disadvantages of the new
small bore rifle and of the smokeless
powder used in connection with it.
The advocates of the smokeless powder
claim that infantry and artillery con-
cealed in wooded places can, using the
new powder, pour destructive fire upon
an enemy without the latter being able
clearly to make out the Whereabouts of
their opponents, and thus prevent an
effective return of the fire.
The country about the Austrian head
quarters is exceedingly billy and thick
ly wooded, and plentifully intersected
with rivers and brooks, thus giving lit
tie scope for cavalry operations, but on
the other hand affording unlimited
cover for infantry, who. in the present
instance, were supposed to be threatened
by an invisible enemy, whose position
was not revealed by the smoke of their
artillery or rifle fire. The general idea
of the Austrian military operations is
that the force displayed is to arrest the
progress of an enemy advancing from
the direction of Bohemia upon Vienna.
In addition to the attention being
given to the smokelesS powder and new
small bore rifle features of the ma
noeuvres, considerable interest Is mani
tested in the telephone and bicycle corps
OF the Austrian army, which, upon this
occasion, participate for the first time
upon so large scale in the manoeuvres.
1t is expected that millions of cart
ridges will be fired before these ma
noeuvres terminate on Monday next.
The conclusion of the Austrian ma
noeuvres will be signaiized on Monday
by grand review on the heights of
GopfritZ, before the emperor of Ger
many and the emperor Of Austria, of
both forces engaged in these interesting
operations.
Both emperors are the picture of
health. The German kaiser rode quiet
gray specially chosen for him. Seventy
thousand troops were engaged to-day.
They seem serviceable and in excellent
physical condition, but they lack the
precision and discipline of the German
army. The Austrians are cheerful and
quick witted, but less painstaking than
the Germans. The greatest comrade-
ship exists between the officers and
men. The Bosnian regiments are nota-
BILE for the fine physique of theirsoldiers.

Germany Rescinds Prohibition of
His Entry.

"
BERLIN, Sept. 9.-The Reichesblatt
publishes an order to the effect that the
prohibition of the importation of swine,
pork and sausages of American origin
shall no longer be enforced when such
live pig or hog products are furnished
with official certificates stating that
they have been examined in accordance
with American regulations and found
free from qualities dangerous to health.
The chancellor has sent instructions to
the proper officials that the order be
given immediate effect.
WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Secretary
Rusk to-day received official notice that
the German government has raised the
embargo on American pork, The
agreement relative to the admission of
pork into Germany was signed at Cape
May Point about ten days ago, but at
the request of the German government
the fact WAS withheld from the public
press until official action could be taken
by the home government. The agree
ment not only provides for the
admittance of our pork into Germany,
but also affords to the United States the
same schedule with reference to our
farm products as that enjoyed by Rus
STA. Secretary Rusk is confident he will
soon be able to extend our market for
corn by Introducing it into Germany for
use in the place of rye, the crop of
which is exceedingly short. To this end
he has Instructed his corn agent, Col.
Murphy, now in Europe, TO proceed at
once to Berlin and lay the matter before
the German government.

NOW THE ORATORS.
Judge Dixon Opens the Argument
in the Davis Ca Sc.


BUTTE, Mont, Sept. 3.-All the testi-
mony in the Davis will case has been
taken, and most of the witnesses have
started for their homes. Col. Ingersoll,
for the contestants, will speak to-mor-
row. This morning the argument was
begun by Judge Dixon for the propo-
nents. "rhis case" he held, NOW re-
solves itself into two propositions: Was
the will written, as we claim, at the
home of A. j. Davis in 1886. and is it
genuine, or was it abrogated
by the so-called Knight will.
Their theory Is that in 1890 J. r. Eddy,
all illiterate man, conceived the scheme
write. Not satisfied with saying this
will was forgery, they claim that it
was done away with by the Knight will,
That rests upon the testimony of Mr..
Knight, and his memory is one of the
most peculiar have ever met. AT first
he thought the will was made in ~ or
'7s, and, after being pinned down, SAID
it was the winter of ISL. i think the
true theory is, probably, that MIR.
Knight really did draw up will for
Judge Davis. but it was not signed. and
simply given to him to keep, and that
is the reason he cannot remember dates
BETTER"
He was followed by Attorney Mas for
the contestants. He said he had sought
for truth in the case and nothing else.
81 take first the question of revocation.
But little was said about it. The '66
will was brought into court, which we
say was never drawn. and if it had been
a second will, had been drawn about 80,
which revoked the first will. How did
proponents meet this claim? They say
If the '66 will was ever revoked, it was
duly republished. He said the Knight
will was destroyed about 1892, which
closed the case until Mr.. Davis repub-
republication would have revived
that first will. In their plead
ings they claim that the will of '66 was
republished after 1882. Now we come
to the poposed will. Do you think that
Judge Davis would have ignored his
father, who was then near his death,
to give support to jeff and Pet Davis
and woman who had q husband and
to give everything to his brother John?
Is 1t likely that A. j. Davis did not
know that Miss Burchell had been mar
ried for six years when she had spoken
of her six years. married life? Yet
they would have you believe that this
careful millionaire banker left this will
behind HIM a quarter of century and
never sent for it," He then discussed the
character OF the signature, and said:
IA number of indications fix the trac-
ing as the work of j. r. Eddy beyond
all question. You will find there that
the initial strokes used by Eddy have
crept in against his knowledge. The
calendering and ironing it down smooth
and brown-all this was done before the
writing was put on. You will also find
that one end had been carbonized in
order to give it the appearance OF age.
This document does not show single
marx of age"
Col Sanders followed, and referred
chiefly to the experts and their testi-
mony, and had not concluded when the
court adjourned

RECOGNITION IN VIEW.
Uncle Sam Will Take Up With
Chili'S New Rulers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-All informa-
ton received from Chill to-day at the
departments was comprised in the fol-
lowing cablegram, received from Adj
miral Brown, dated Valparaiso, Sept. 3:
Business fully resumed. Everything quiet.
Congressional committee, including two cab
met minister's arrived from IQuique, Chilli
yesterday, and so to Santiago
The above cabiegram was communi-
Gated to Mr., Wharton, the acting secre-
tary OF state. While Admiral Brown is
not diplomatic representative of the
government, his statement of facts is
taken as an addition to the official in
formation before the department of
state TO the effect that Balmaceda's
government is a thing of the past and
that new regime has been established.
The requirements of diplomatic prac-
tiee have been so far met.
1t is probable the department will now
proceed to take official cognlzance Of
the state of affairs in Chill us modified
by Balmaceda'S resignation and the vic
tory of the congressional party.
AT the department it is said that there
has been no undue delay in according
recognition when proper to bestow it.
The settled policy of this government
has been TO avoid the encour-
agement or premature recognition
of revolutionary movements, parti-
cularly in the case of the unsettled re-
publics of the American hemisphere,
and that in exceptional cases in which
departures have been made from that
practice the result has not always been
satisfactory. So in the case of the Chill
ian congressional movement the depart
ment has confined itself. the officials
say, to strict observance to
the practice of this government, as
fixed by many precedents, and has
awaited the receipt OF the official
information necessary to enable it to
know beyond doubt that the congress
SionallstS have succeeded in securing
absolute dominion over Chill. The
requisite Information is now probably
before the department and the next
step is recognition.
Several cablegrams have been sent to
Minister Egan. and there is reason to
believe that when he is satisfied that a
government (even though it be temper
airy in form has been securely
established in Chill, he will
Immediately open official inter-
course with that government. This
step it is said at the department is
equivalent to accredlting a minister to
the new government, and as soon as
such new government officially notifies
the department of state that it has
authorized its especial ENJOYS to repre-
sent it regularly in the United States,
DIR. Montt and his colleagues will be
recognized at the department of state.

The mission of the two ships was to

such report has been heard here
so far as can ascertain and nothing is

were captured in the sea. She was
warned to leave the sea by the Porpoise

of 760 despite the bad weather, and
headed for Behrlng sea about the
middle of July. Just before reach

shore during terrible hurricane,
which carried away her topsails and
did other damage. She entered the sea
on July 10. For eight days she was
among the seals, which Capt. Carter
says were very plentiful. Indeed, he
corroborates the story told by others
who stated that there never was sea-
