BERLIN. Oct. ga suit which involves

from the fact that the Countess Waldersee,

will probably be called as a witness for

facts relating to the case. which have here
tofore been withheld from the public. are

William, after taking possession
of Schleswig : Holstein. In 1866.

toned the marriage of his grandson. the
present Kaiser William, with the poverty
stricken Princess of A~ugustenbnrg, reviled

Countess Pretender' of Schleswig, and
that OF Prince Frederick Leopold, OF Prns-

tributed the castles and crown estates of
the Holstein family among it's various
homeless members and thus put them on
their feet again. They are all comfortably
well fixed at the present time. Among the
castles Emperor William gave away was
the Giucksbourg Schloss. which hs turned

of the late Prelate VI, of Denmark. Both
the Duke and Duchess are dead. and the

undisputed proprietor of Schl oss

secret scandal was flashed before
his eyes by the letter of a lady belonging to
the highest nobility in the country, who
showed him deeds and other legal Instru-
nients to prove that her daughter is the
child of the late Duke Charles. who. she
rlaims. left her all his personal property
and selected Schloss Glncksbourg for her

says a good deal OF dirty linen will be
washed on that occasion. The case will at
tract much attention in roya al and aristo-

GRAY MEN AHEAD.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-A meeting of the
Indiana delegation for organization was
held this afternoon. There was devel-
oped in the course of the meet
ing division of the dele
CATION on presidential preferences,
which showed the Cleveland men
to be in the minority II to Is. On the
selection of a member of the committee
on resolutions, the Cleveland candidate.
S. f. Morse, editor of the indianapolis
Sentinel, and one of the most active
workers for the ex-president, was de-
feated by Charles L. JeWett, an out
spoken Gray man.
The organization was as follows:
Chairman, Senator ID. w. Voorhees,: vice
president of the convention, James
Murdoch: assistant secretary. Frank b.
Burke: committee on credentials. John
E. Lamb; on resolutions, Charles l..
JeWett: permanent organization. Hugh
Daugherty; to notify president and vice
president. William A. CollOp; member
of the national committee. S. Ii. Herln.
Nothing was said about nominating
ex-Gov. Gray in the convention, and
another meeting will be held Monday
afternoon to consider the question. An
effort was made to bring the whole
delegation to the support of Mr.. Gray,
but thirteen Cleveland men say they
will cast their votes for the eX-presi
dent, as they are instructed to do so.
Senator Voorhees, will place Gray in
nomination before the convention what
ever the result of Mondays meeting
may be.

THE WIGWAM.

cOntesting delegates do not expect seats
in the convention. The results of that
convention will be used for effect only.
Political policy requires that nothing be
done to engender bitterness between
the two factions. The policy OF the
leaders will. therefore, be to avoid an
internal strife in New York state for
the control of party organization.
The Syracuse convention will be used
as a means of demonstrating the
strength of Cleveland in his own state
and this can probably be done as well
by full heading before the country as
by any other mode of procedure. For
this reason. 1t is probable that at the
proper time a demand Will De MADE 1of
an open hearing of the trouble in New
York, This hearing. in the ordinary
course of events. would take place be
fore the committee on credentials after
its selection by the several states and
territories ana naturally the request 1Or
open hearing will not come until then.
Some Favor Fight.
There are some members of the con-
testing delegation who are in favor OF
fight from beginning to end, but they
Will have to give way to the leaders.
Those who would prefer a row are
mostly younger Democrats from New
York city, Brooklyn and perhaps a few
other localities. They wish to capture
the state organization in this conVen-
tion and Gverturn the party machinery.
Some of the closest friends of Mr..
Cleveland, and Old, experienced men
are opposed to this, for its effect would
be to cause q split that would make Mr..
Cleveland's success very doubtful in
case he should WIN the nomination.
Another reason for not pushing the
contest lies in the opposition to
such course of many OF
Mr.. Cleveland's warmest support
ers outside of New York. They are ad-
vising against if, and many of them
would refuse TO cOuntenance it at all.
Don Dickinson, for instance. said today
that in his opinion this would be no per-
sistent fight. ~ am warm friend of
Mr.. Cleveland" said he. Nobody
doubts but that | would vote to seat the
regular organization. The New York
managers for Cleveland are wise men.

A GREAT TRIO.
Springer, Watterson and Voorhees,
Hard at Work

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Congressman
William NJ. Springer, of Illinois. chair
man of the committee on ways and
means of the national house of repre-
sentatives, is Cn the ground urging that
the Illinois delegates, in the interest of
expediency, vote for John NJ. Palmer on
the first ballot, and continue their efforts
in behalf of the Illinois leader until
nomination is reached.
Henry WatterSon, of Kentucky, is un-
derstood to be laboring with the dele
CATION from the Blue Grass state in the
effort to secure the solid vote of that
state for John q. Carlisle, and Senator
Daniel W.VoorheeS, of Indiana, is max
ing like demand from the Hoosier
state in behalf of eX-Gov. Isaac p. Gray.
1t is reported tonight that the promi-
nent Democratic leaders of these three
states are endeayoring to arrange con-
ference of delegates. by which it will be
mutually agreed that the nomination of
Cleveland is to be declared ineXpedient.
and the votes which he might otherwise
receive from these states are to be dis
tributed among the favorite sons,
Palmer receiving the fOrty-eight votes
of Illinois, Carlisle receiving the twenty
six votes of Kentucky and Gray receiv-
ing the thirty votes of Indiana.
Palmer and Gray were formally in
dorsed by the respective conventions as
presidential candidates. and Kentucky
only refrained from instructing for
Cleveland because of the probability
that Carlisle might be ushered into the
contest at the latest hour. Thus, the
delegations of these three states are
practically free to act as they please in
an emergency, aud the great question of
the hour is will they abandon Cleveland

CONFIDENT DAKOTANS.
Tariff Reform Winning Card in
Their State.

Their State.
Col. Dan Maratta, of Fargo, arrived
in the city yesterday morning, accom-
panied by j. F. O'Brien, of Devils
Lake, E. E. Cole, of Fargo, and w. n.
Roach, of Larimore, three of the dele
gates from that state. Here they were
ioined by j. E. Campbell, of Mandan,
and 4. Blewett, of Jamestown, and the
ent re party went on to Chicago last
evening. The other delegate, Hon w.
f. Purcell, reached Chicago several
days ago.
The North Dakota delegates are un-
Instructed. but all are favorable to eX-
President Cleveland in case he is denI-
onstrated to be the strongest man.
Several are for him in any event. Capt.
Maratta, who is the chairman of the
Democratic state central committee, and
who managed the campaign of two
years ago. feels confident that the North
Dakota Democracy will come out ahead
in the coming contest.
"Our last campaign" he said, "waS
managed at cost of S700.a whenever
we sent our speakers we carried the
people. | believe that if we were able
to make fight along the entire line
with speakers at the school houses we
can carry the state. Our people are
with us on the tariff question and we are
bound to VIM"
Col. John d. Benton, of Fargo. who
was the candidate for congress two
years ago. seconded Capt. Maratta's
views. Col. Benton is not delegate,
and will not go to Chicago. He believes
that Mr.. Cleveland is the strongest man
in the race, and that he will be the nom-

an impassive sphinx. warning by its
very attitude the Democracy of the ma
ton against selecting presidential
much hoped-for harmony between the
two factions in New York shows no
signs of realization. and the most SAN
guine Cleveland enthusiasts are forced
to admit that the utterances of the
Tammany leaders do not give any as
surance that they will support the
presidential ticket in the event of Mr..
CIeveland'S nomination.
1t is this peculiar situation in this
great pivotal state which causes the
ti-Cleveland people to cry out against
the eXpediency of the eX-presidentS
denomination. but to some extent the
Importance of the state of New York is
offset by the latest advices from Michi-
gan and Kansas. The decision of the
supreme court of Michigan, majority
the members of which are Republicans,
affirming the cOnstitutionality of the
Miner law, practically assures the Dem
ocrats of eight electoral votes this fall
from the state of Michigan.
Ex-GOv. Click, of Kansas, also author
itatively announced in the Cleveland
headquarters today that the Democratic
state committee would indorSe the ticket
put up by the Peoples party, and that,
therefore, the Republicans would not
receive an electoral vote from the whole
state OF Kansas AS there appears to
be no doubt of the established fusion
between the Democrats and the Peo-
ple's party in Kansas, the prediction
of ex-Gov. Click as to the loss of Kan
sas to the Republicans appears to be
quite on the line of probabilities. Its
not an unusual incident tonight to hear
enthusiastic Cleveland admirers eXclaim
in the lobbies of the hotels that Cleve-
land can be elected without the vote of
the state of New York, and that the
regulars of the Empire state should be
dafind
