AN IMPORTANT STEP.

The Kaiser Thought to BE About to Appoint
New Prince of Aisace-Lorraine.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Sept. 21.-A Paris dispatch to
the Sunday Times of to-day predicts that
Prince Hohenlohe will have to abandon
the Office of Stakeholder. or Governor of
Alsace-Lorraine. The Prince. who bears
the Franklsh name of CLOVIS. has always
been an advocate of rigid severity in deal
ing with the people under his rule and with
French visitors to the annexed provinces.
He represents an iron Bismarck pol
icy. and is known to have been
in strong sympathy with Bismarck. 1t
was by Bismarck's direction that Hoheu-
lobe created and enforced the severe sys-
TEN of passports which. next to the seizure
of Alsace- Lorraine by Germany. has done
most to irritate France. The Prince is not
a favorite with the Kaiser, who. but for
the incidents attending his mothers visit
to Paris. would long ago have reversed the
Bismarck Hohenlohe policy in the Reich
stag. Now an important step has been
taken and il is thought that HoheDlohe will
be succeeded by man more in accord
with the Kaisers views.

The Proposed Russian Loan the Sole Topic
the Berlin Bourse
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, Sept. 27.-Tbe Russian loan is
almost the sole topic of conversation in
Berlin. and appearances indicate that pop
ular feeling will drive it ont of the market.
The storm which the attempt to float the
loan has aroused in Germany is re-
garded here as even more ominous than
the thoughtless utterances of the
Kaiser. There seems to be no party line in
the antagonism of the Berlin press toward
Russia. The papers appear to voice the
united feeling of the German people that
Russia is to be looked upon. even in peace,
as an antagonist. The indications are that
the loan will be failure outside of France.
and even there financiers are not enthusl-
astic in their desire to invest.

Sneed. praying a writ of habeas corpus.
The writ was granted and addressed to the
warden at Briceville. who is called on to
show cause why he should not surrender
the prisoner. The writ is made returnable
next Wednesday.
This brings the whole question before the
court. 1t Is far-reachIng and exhaustive.
The object is to determine the legality of

ILLINOIS SENATORSHIP.
JOHN NJ. PALMER WILL LIKELY
BE ELECTED TO-DAY.
Two Farmers Benefit Association Rep
rescntatives Decide to
Vote for Him.
Special to the REcoRD-UNroS.


SPRINGFIELD Qll.), March 10-There
appears no doubt tonight that John NJ.
Palmer (Den.) will be elected to the
United States Senate tomorrow. After q
long talk with General Palmer this after
noon, Representatives Moore and Cock
rell issued lengthy address to their
party (the Farmers Mutual Benefit AS
sociation), setting forth the efforts they
have made to secure the election of an
independent candidate to the Senate,
their efforts with the Republican party
and the attempt to elect Streeter.
They go on to say that the Republicans
have secured from Streeter such con-
cessions and promises as would, if carried
ont, entirely unfit him for rconseientiously
representing the principles of the FARM
ers' party. Finding it absolutely i'm
possible to elect an Independent. thew
have concluded that their next duty is to
select man who, while not representing
the principles of their organization III
full, is in sympathy with many of their
demands, and comedies the needs Of re-
dress in legislation which has grown up
under the rule of corporations and mo-
nopolieS.
Becoming satisfied that we could not
elect a man who would fully represent
our people, we to-day called on Mr..
Palmer in the interest of our people to
ascertain what assurances and hopes he
would give US III regard to his future
official action affecting such legislation as
our people demand. This interview, we
must say, was satisfactory, even beyond
our expectations. While he does not
fully represent us, he has forced us to be-
lieye that he is an honest man. We are
more firmly convinced than ever that the
future prosperity and happiness of this
country depends ON the success and
growth Of an independent party. An
independent political movement by the
toiling million is the only hope of our
people.
In view of the facts above stated, we
will tomorrow east our votes for John
NJ. Palmer, and bring this prolonged
contest to a close.'
Representative Taubenock, the other
L. M. +. A. man, has repeatedly declared
that he would never vote for Palmer.
