In Suburb Of Melbourne Under the
Name Of Williams.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

PERTH, Australia. March 2O.-Deeming
was again brought before the magistrate to-
day. The courthouse was packed. The
prisoner, who persisted in calling himself
Swanston, entered the dock 18th a jaunty
air, but became nervous and fdgety during
the reading of the charges. After the giving
of formal evidence in regard to the arrest,
he was remanded. Deeming's luggage has
been examined, and among the articles
found were a card certifying to tie men,
bershp of Emily Mather to Rainhill Band

tween Rainhill and Liverpool, an autograph
album belonging to Emily Mather, book
of addresses of persons in England, pocket

noted are NE cDonald of New York and
Birkenhead." Marshall of New York"
and others OF persons in Hull, Liverpool
and Hartlepool, proving the identity of
Williams. Deemng, Lawson, etc.
Ii has been learned that Deeming, who
declared his name is Swanston, conf ssed
TO the police that he is the same man who
lived at Windsor. a suburb of Melbourne
under the name of Williams. Evidence is
daily accumulating showing that the past
life of Deeming has been one of constant
fraud and robbery.

TEE EMPEROR REPORTED VERY ILL.,
iOh taprivi Summoned TO an Imperial Conference
Feeling in Lendon and Vienna ever the Chan
tellor'S Eumored Resignation.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL

PARIs, March 20-The situation in Ger
many is still ominous and continues to be
the subject of conversation in official circles
oil Europe. Even foreign Ministers at Ber-
lin do not know when the Emperor will re-
turn from the Chateau Hubertus. 1t was
said Saturday that in accordance with his
physicians advice lie would remain
unill the end OF the month. but
al noon to-day it was announced that
no would return next Wednesday.
Meanwhile, it Is said, Capriyi has been sum-
m0hed to the chateau. / am told on un-
Questionable authority that. in spite of all
statements to the contrary, the Emperor Is
really very III. He is suffering. not from
cataTrh but from an abcess OF the ear, the
worSt which he has ever had. For the last
twenty four hours his physicians have been
very uneasy, and have prescribed for him
most absolute repose.
In reply to dispatch from Queen Vict0-
ria the Prussian court has explained that
sueh epose was necessary on account OF
very intense cerebral anemia, folowe by
pam: 1t can readily be understood that the
Woru cerebral has given rise TO many
comments. ln London, and even in Berlin,
THERE Is much talk about the cerebral
troubles, but my impression is that
Ile stories are much exaggerated.
1t is true that Prince Henry
was summoned from Darmstadt by
a dispatch from the Empress, and after two
hours interview with her he started for the
Chateau Hubertus. As he was starting,
however, he said to some one, THANK
God, the case is not as serious as feared"
Stiii II Is certain that the action of a soyer-
eign like William in leaving his capital for
eight days in the midst of a political crisis
gives coed ground for the people to say that
he is not we'll balanced. 1t is well under
stood that In case OF any new political crisis
no one knows whether Caprivi will remain
at the head OF affairs or not. Certainly no
one believes that the education bill was the
ole cause of the crisis.
may add that in London and Vienna
the reported resignation of Caprivi has pro-
duecd disagTeeable effect. and has caused
more uneaslness even than IN Paris.
Ihere has been, l do not know why, con-
Siderable telegraphic correspondence be-
tween the Foreign Office and the
Bnush Embassy in Berlin. In London
people believe that the entire political
world OF Germany IS bent on adopting a
western policy. In Vienna the people are
restless through fear that CZechs will profit
by the recent incidents in Berlin and will
cause new annoyance to the Government.

THE ASTOR SCANDAL.
The Atlantic Steamer Majestic Awaited il
New York With Great Auxietv.

new fork with Great Anxiety.
NEW YORK, March 20.-1t has been long
time since any steamship has been awaited
here with so much keen expecta-
tions as the White Star line steamer
Majestic. Until to-day 1t was thought
there might have been some mistake
about the story that Drayton and
Hallett Borrowe were really on board the
same vessel. There is no doubt about it
now, however. Both men sailed under as
sumed names, but their identity was fully
discovered IN England on Saturday, and the
fact that Dixon" and "Barrowes" were
in reality Drayton and Borrowe was
cabled across. The Majestic sailed from
Liverpool Oh Wednesday, and according to
current reports Captain Pressel intends, if
possible, to break the record coming over.
She ought to heave in sight on Tuesday.
Illl she comes in, bringing Coleman Dray-
ton with her, Drayton's Side of the story
concerning his reported challenge to Hal
lett Borrowe cannot be known.
The gossips are now talking about the
possibility of on encounter on shipboard
between Mrs. Drayton's husband and her
Ami. DraytOn's friends say with almost
unanimity that he will not be so foolish as
to get mixed up in broil on an English ship
where any alteration would bring him under
the severe jurisdiction of foreign authority
The United States District Attorney
ment think either Drayton or Mr. Borrowe
will so far forget themselves as to
quarrel on shipboard, but supEosing
they do so the law covering the
case is very Gmple. Till the ship
reaches shore either possible culprit is
prisoner Of the master Of the vessel. If the
crime is committed within three-mile
limit, either of the English or American
shore, the question OF jurisdiction is ap-
parent on the face of it. Outside OF the three
mile limit, from English or American coast,
any crime committed is a crime on the high
seas. In the case under consideration the
English nation would have the control Of

QUAY's DISCOVERY.
Alleged Fraud in New York in the Cam
paign of 1888

PHILADELPHIA, March 21.-A morning
paper prints a history of the political cam
paign of 1854 ana Senator Quay's alleged
thwarting of ballot frauds in New York
City at the risk of his life. Quay. it is said,
canvassed the lower wards of New Y erik,
mapped and censured them, and when in
October the Democrats learned of his ac-
tions. the story affirms, Mr.. Quay's
life was threatened and his friends
were alarmed. Officers were kept con-
stantly watching for his welfare day and
night. by the aid of Police Commissioner
French Quay is said to have got early elec-
tion returns and blocked the alleged purpose
of the Democrats TO change the figures in
New York and Brooklyn if occasion should
seem to require. The story contains these
assertions: Chairman Quay had not been
long in harness before he discovered that
Blaine carried the State in 1884; the Demo-
cratic managers knew this early in the
evening, and changes of ballots were neces-
sary to elect Cleveland. Ben Butler was
running that year on third ticket. and
polled several thousand labor votes in New
York City.
The easiest thing in the world for ballot
thieves was To turn Butler ballots over to
Cleveland and this was actually done. Quay
unearthed the fact before he had been long
in command, and the discovery received the
indoI Isement of General Butler himself.
Three days before the election the sum of
S2f5,000 was handed over to Democratic
workers iE the State above Harlem River.
This was entirely separate from the amount
used by Iammany in the city.
