ACROSS THE WIRES.
Late News Cleaned From For

Particulars Regarding the Cahi-
net Crisis at Berlin.

A cablegram from Berlin. Germany. SAYS
in regard to the Cabinet crisis: Since the
fall of Bismarck, two years ago, the political
tension here Is not been so intense as it has
been now. From the elegant Killers, Inter
den Linden, to the bare cafes of the Karl
strasse in the students quarter the one topic
has been the action o. Minister ZadltZ and
Chancellor Caprivi.
There is no room for doubt as to the
resignation of Count Caprivi, although every
effort is made in high political circles TO
keep the facts of the Cabinet crisis abso
lutely secret. Had the Chancellor not thrown
the whole weight of his personality on
the side of the School bill, which has caused
all the complication, he might have escaped
the embarrassment OF his position. He has
announced so repeatedly IN and out of
Parliament recently his advocacy OF the
bill, and has set up his opinions so
persistently against the moderate advice
of his rival in the Cabinet, DR.. MIGUEL,
that the Emperor's tendency toward the
course recomm by the latter left him
no alternative but to resign. 1t was thought
Emperor would not accept his Cnan-
cellor's resignation, on the ground
that the School bill, as q pure Y
Prusslan matter, Is not Closely connected
with Caprivi's record as Chancellor of the
Empire. Caprivi, moreover, is needed TO
tive coalition in Parliament. In order
to avoid coming to al immediate
decision the Emperor retired to
his castle to 99Ibertusstock. Prince Heary,
the Emperor's brother, joined the Kaiser
there. The Empress followed next
day. The semi-off1cial announcement
is made that the rumors of ths
Emperor's illness are greatly exaggerated,
and that his condition is satisfactory. Never
theless the physicians advise that he take
some rest. and that he seek the greatest prac-
ticable quietude for the present.
Chancellor Won Caprivi was summoned by
a special courier to the Emperor at Huber
tusstock. The Chancellor has made a sec
ond request to be allowed to retire. Only
under the utmost pressure it is thought, will
Caprivi consent to serve longer, he feels
personally aggrieved by his treatment at the
hands Of the Emperor in the management of
the School bill. In conversation with Albert
Won Levetzow, First President of the Reich
stag, yesterday, he said, with much feeling.
that he believed he had not been treated
fairly by the Emperor, and should therefore
insist upon being allowed to retire.

An OsSifed Man Dead.

Edward Emmons, the ''ossifed man. of
Port jefferson, Long Island, New York, is
dead. Although an ossified man and a living
curiosity, he never exhibited himself,
although he tried to get the museum man
ayers TO show him. The three ossitied men
known to trequenters OF museums are iona
than Bass, William Sapp, and colored man
named Monroe.
Emmons's death was caused by the grip.
He was born in Pert jefferson tn1rty-eighC
years ago. When quite young he went to
sea and was taken Ill with typhoid fever.
He got over the fever, but it LETT him very
weak. When twenty-five years of age he
was taken i'll with rheumatism, and on his
return voyage home he suffered severely.
He never left the house again, but lay in bed
for sixteen years, and his flesh gradually
became ossiied. For several years his suffer-
ings were terrible. His body was rigid e1-
cept one arm. which he could use. and his
jaws were set. He was fed through a hole
IN the mouth, where tooth was broken out.
Several years ago Emmons's pain ceased.
He could read, articulate after a fashion,
and was slightly deaf.
Emmons's father was afflicted the same
way, but the trouble did not come upon him
till late in life, and he died before his joints
were entirely set. All the family, which
now consists of a mother, brother, and four
sisters, are afflicted with rheumatism, except
the mother

BYYuM AND TIE PENSION vETOEs.

Some of the superserviceable friends
of Representative Bynum have been as
serting to veterans on the street that
the statement of the Journal that he had
either voted to sustain Mr.. Cleveland's
private pension vetoes or had lodged
sis a Journal lie." To show that the
Journal put the most charitable con-
struction upon Mr.. Bynum's action, or
non action, in the matter, these friends
have made it necessary for the Journal
to give several of the cases in which Mr..
Bynum voted to sustain Mr.. Cleveland.
In the Congressional Record of the first
session of the Forty ninth Congress the
following votes of Mr.. Bynum against
passing pension bills over President
Cleveland's veto will be found:
Page 7695-Voted against the considera-
tion of the question of passing the bill of
Andrew J. Wilson over the veto.
Page 7057-Voted TO sustain the veto of
the bill of Cathariue Mccarthy, whose h us
band died of accidental poisoning. Mr..
Holman voted with Mr. Bynum.
Page 714s-Bynum voted nay on the mo-
tion To pass tho bill in faver of Maria
Hunter over the Cleveland veto, and Hol-
man voted with him.
Page 175i-Bynum voted to sustain Cleve-
lands veto of the bill IN favor of Mary
Anderson.
The record further shows that Mr..
Bynum voted to sustain Mr.. Cleveland's
The Indianapolis journal., 1892-10-12

1T is a significant fact that the only
States deemed certain for Cleveland in
the approaching election are the South
ern, or former slave States. These are
fifteen in number, viz, Alabama, Ar
kansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia.
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri. North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Vir-
ginia. These States have 153 votes, and
it will require 223 to elect. From a par
tisan Democratic standpoint it may be
very gratifying to have 153 electoral
votes solid, without any effort or the
necessity of even making a single cam.
paign speech, but it ought to make de-
cent Democrats ashamed when they re-
fleet that these solid States represent a
degree of political intolerance and pro-
scription that is utterly unknown in
any other part of the country. AS it
looks now it is doubtful If the Demo-
Gratis will carry q single Northern State.
They may carry West Virginia, which
would increase Cleveland's electoral
vote to 159. and they may possibly get
three or four electoral votes in Michi-
gan, but the chances are against their
carrying any Northern State. 1t would
be in accordance with the eternal fitness
Of things to confine Clevelands electoral
vote to the solid South.

THE advocates of road reform In this
country should take notice of the fact
that in England there is a law which
regulates the weight that wagons may
carry according to the width of the tires
on their wheels. those with wide tires
being permitted to haul much heavier
loads than those with narrow tires. The
widest tires are nine inches. Over
loaded wagons are charged extra tolls,
as are oil wagons whose tires are less
than four and one-half inches in width.
The object is to discriminate against
narrow tires. which do so much towards
cutting up and destroying roads.

THE VENERABLE SENATOR YARYAN.


He Tells About the Days Of State Banks
and the Ruin They Wrought
The venerable Senator Yaryan. of Rich.
mond, Wayne county, now in his ninetieth
year, but yet vigorous and alert, honored
the Journal with call yesterday. He
cast his first vote for John Quincy Adams
in 1924, then voted with the Wings until
he helped organize the Republican party in
Indiana. During the period of State bank
money he was in business in Indiana. When
the question of the revival of State banks
came up with the declaration of the Chi
cago platform. he found some of the worth
less bank money which was in his posses
sion when they went up," despite his
bank detector. He showed five-dollar
bill on the Bank of North America. issued
in 1852. One had to look some time to
find that 1t was an Indiana bank,

spicuously printed that 1t was based

people suffered from State bank money. To
the reduction of the tariff in 1884 and the
refusaltto recbarter the United States Bank,
and the flood of paper money incident to
