A ROYAL COMPOSER.

His COMPOSITIONS.

Ihe unique way In w h1ch lie Turns Out

TBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANYI
BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-Americans have oc-
casionally opportunity to judge of the
talents of Duke Ernest, of Coburg, as a
composer, and they will probably be inter-
ested to know how the Duke goes to work.
The muse generally visits him in the night
time This is unfortunate for the pianist
whom Duke Ernest employs to interpret
his musical inspirations. The sleepy mu-
sician tremblIpgly takes his place at the ill.,
strument. play this cries His High
ness, and whistles lew bars, accompany
ing them with wild gesticulations
The slave does as he is tolo, and His High
ness, appalled, by his own creation, calls the
man an idiot, incapable OF interpreting his
sovereign's genius Then the Duke whistles
the air over again, and with a parting in
junction to the poor pianist to remember it
well and bring it to him in the morning
written out and properly arranged, retires 10
his couch. In the allotted time the pianist
reappears and submits to His Highncss an
original musical work, which His Highness
graciously recognizes as his own compost
ton.

RELIGIOUS CRANKS JAILED
They Wanted Prison Doors Opened and
the Inmates Released.

the Inmates Released.
tBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.1
BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-The Lutheran districts
of Sa1ony have been kept from spiritual
slumber lately by band of religious
cranks, protesting to be directly inspired
from above and to be commissioned TO the
preaching Of new gospel. The band is
composed of men and women, recognizing a
community of goods and living generally
like people possessed. They hold PRAYER
meetings after dark. The men pray
and expound and the women indulge in
manifestations OF hysteria. A man named
Hans Wurzel, who at one time was an non
est and fairly reasonable bricklayer, is the
leader of the band. He claims to have sue
ceeded Moses, and he is now in the Zurckaw
Jail with IL OF his followers on the charge OF
rioting.
On Monday last those of the band who
were still at large marched to the penitentiary
and called upon the officials to open the
gates wide that their brethren and sisters
might be allowed to go free. The authorl-
ties simply ordered out the fire brigade and
turned the hose on, at the same time
limiting that the crowd had made a
mistake in the address, as the in
sane asylum lay further up the road. The
hint was doubtless kindly meant, but it was
not so received, and finally the police had
to interfere and lock up some over-zealous
persons.

night. A committee was appointed to confer
with the Amateur Athletic Union and League

instatement was rejected. The Treasurer;s re-
port showed that there $3.50 20 in the
treasury. The question that caused much dis
cusslon was the proposed shortening of the
championship course. Harry Mcmillan fav-
ored s5raiShtaway course of ~ miles. A long
discussion followed. 1t was finally decided to
let the course remain II miles. 1t was decided
to disqualify James +. Corbett, OF Chicago who
was accused of selling the senior single race az

1t Is Broken on the Schleswig Coast After
Many Days.
rBY puNLAP's CABLE coMPANY1
BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-Schleswig, like other
sea-coast provinces of Prussia, is suffering
from the exceptionally hard winter. Com
munication with the islands of the North
Sea has been interrupted for more than 81
days, and the islanders are suffering from a
scarcity of wheat aud vegetables, kerosene
oil and coal. The ice on the Schleswig coast
now reaches as far as the Island of Nord-
strand, and is one metre thick throughout.
Communication therefore has been restored
in an extraordinary way. and the traffic,
which is being carried on over the ice, is tre-
mendous, as more than a dozen ships, which
were icebound, are discharging their cargoes
at the same time. On the Eastern coast the
ice is likewise thick and at some points be-
tween Schleswig and the Danish Archi-
pelago communication over the ice has
been opened.

Revolution in Dress,

A fair gossip from Paris says high sleeves,
doomed. The bright and laughing spring
will see fat shoulders. low collars and but
tons on every conceivable portion of bodice,
sleeves and skirt. Many will be sorry to
hear this, for buttons are expensive and
unsatisfactory, while full sleeves are boon
to the spare-shouldered and a blessing to the
thin-armed, and Medici collars are becom-
ing to long necks.

Emperor William of Germany is an en-
thusiastic fisherman. His purpose in pur-

way by correspondent in the London
Field:
His Imperial Majesty, the German EN-
peror, intends to resume the sport of angling
next season; and has commissioned Messrs
Hardy, OF Ainwick. to build him one of
their best 17-foot split cane salmon rods.
This English rod is equal to. if not superior
to, the best American rod have ever seen,
and, at its hest, there is no better in the
world. The Emperor used borrowed one
in Norway last year. and was so delighted
with it that he has determined to have a

A ROW BETWEEN INDIANS FEARED

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pISPAFcH.I
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, S. D., Jan. 49,
General Miles has just issued congratula-
tory message to the army. Its greatest feat
ure is the official confirmation OF the story
printed in THE DISPATCH this morning, of
the existence of the gigantic conspiracy
among 100000 Indians of the Northwest to
pillage the Western country in the spring.
Although the military and THE DISPATCH
correspondent drew their information from
different sources, the congratulatory message
to-day shows that the result of both inyesti-
cations were identically the same. General
Miles says in his message:
The Division Commander takes pleasure in
announcing the satisfactory termination of the
hostilities in this division, The disaffection
among the Indians was widespread involving
many different tribes. The purpose of the con-
spiracy was to produce general uprising of
all the Indians in the coming spring. The hos
tile element of the Sioux nation precipitated
the movement by leaving their agencies, defy
ing the authority of the Government and de-
stroylng their property that had been given
them for the purpose of civilization. They as
sembled in large force on almo>t impenetrable
ground, known as Mauvaise Terres of South
Dakota, and from that rendezvous marauding
Indians on their reservation and through the

ARE VERY QUIET.
RumOrs that Dom Pedro is to be
Asked to Return and Take
the FhrOme

Rio JANEIRo, Nov. ALI is quiet here
today and the state siege is not vigorously
enforced. Business is proceeding as usual.
Similar reports have been received from the
provinces. President Da Fonseca's illness
alone constitutes source of danger.
New York, NoY. ,7.-This story Of Bra
lillian affairs comes to d morning paper
through its Valparaiso correspondent:
News was received here today from Rio
Janeiro that President Don Pedro Da
Fonseca had long conference with Ouro
Preto and Joaquin Nabuco. They are both
prominent imperialists, and this has given
rise to the hope among the, supporters of
the old regime that Dom Pedro will be re-
quested to return to Brazil and take the
throne. In case of his declining the offer
the story goes the throne will be offered to
the Conde 'Eu, husband of Dom Pedro's
daughter. These stories are merely ru-
mors, however. The president publicly
promises constitutional form of govern
ment.
There are also unconfirmed stories ofout-
breaks in various provinces The Argen-
tine authorities were a good deal stirred up
when the news Of the trouble in Brazil
reached Buenos Ayres. Troops at once were
hurried to the frontier between the Argen
tine Republic and the Brazilian provinces,
SO as to preserve order in case the Brazil
ians attempted to enter the Argentine ter
rltory, and also prevent any attempt to VIC
late the neutrality law.

EVENING EDITION.
MILITIA GLORY.
A GREAT DEAL OF LAW TO SAVE
THE COLONEL'S TITLE.
The Judge Advocate Replies to
the Plea for Jurisdiction.
Court Fakes a Recess.

This mornings session of the military
court convened at 10 O'Clock and the pro
ceedings dragged along without any par
ticular interest. The Judge advocate
based his reply to the defense mainly on
article 2, of the plea for jurisdiction, which
sets forth ''that the accused was not amen
able to military law at the time and place
the acts in said specifications complained
of are alleged to have been committed by
him."
After disposing of this he went back TO
the first article IN the plea and then coy
cred the other two. He compared the mil
ltary law Of 1888 and 1890, to show that
there was no part of the two acts in conflict
with one another i'll regard to the iurisdic-
diction, and as the regulations governing
the national guard of Washington were
made in 1888, and do not conflict with the
laws Of 1890, they are still In force. The
judge advocate conducted his side of the
argument as well as could be expected, in
consideration Of the disadvantage at which
he was placed, and did all in his power to
convince the court that the case at bar was
within its jurisdiction
Counsel for Colonel Haines claimed that
section go, of the law of 1890 repeals all
the laws of 1883, regarding the organiza-
ton, maintenance and support of the Ma
tional guard, and that the military board
which adopted the rules and regulations
governing the National guard, had no au-
thority Of law to adopt such rules and reg
ulations that would control national
guardman in his capacity as citizen.
Second-That if they did have author
ity it was under territorial law which,
ceased to exist beyond the life Of terrific
rial form of government.
Third That if the board did have au-
thority to adopt the rules and regulations,
and the law which gave the board such
authority was continued in force by the
provisions of the state constitution such
law was repealed, and the rules and regula-
1890
The court went into secret session this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock to vote upon the
question as to whether or not it had juris-
diction.
UP TO the hour Of going to press no de-
cision had been rendered, but it was con-
ceded that the decision would be against
the jurisdiction of the court and Haines'
men were preparing to leave on the 4:5O
train,
