BERLIN, October l6.-The situation
has not greatly changed within the last
few days. The storm is brewing, but it
has not burst. Caprivl sits apart In his
tent, the Kanzlerr In Wilhelmstrasse Is
issuing orders to his henchmen, prim-
ing his newspapers and instructing his
reptiles" alliances are made and
sealed on paper only to be unmade and
disowned the following morning. The
ministerialists cry "peace," there Is no
peace. Their enemies reply with threats
aud warnings. On one side we are told
that the adoption Of the army bill Is as
good as assured. On the other II Is said
that the bill will never see the light, or
IL il does 1t will be beaten by the Reich
stag.
Rumors OF all sorts are In the air, Ca
privi to resign, Caprivl TO stay, tho
Reichstag 10 be dissolved, the Reich
stag not to be dissolved.
At one moment the Emperor has
pledged himself 10 back the Chancellor,
the next we learn that he Is 10 leave
him to his fate, that he will not let him
go As far as he can with the bill, and "
he finds the Reichstag bent on opposi-
tion he will drop him.
The npshot OF 1t all will soon be seen.
Caprlvi has thrown down the glove aud
the Reichstag seems iGclined 10 do It's
duty. In the excitement OF politics
smaller things have been neglected.

A 100000 HUSBAND
In jail In New. York-He Wasn't Worth
the Money.

NEW YORK, October 16.-Men who
command 500. 900 in the matrimonial
market are not common even in New
York City with all its wealthy widows
and unmarried heresses, but one OF
these is now domiciled here, II the
word Of Charles A. White,
now in a cell at police
headquarters may be accepted,
The high price husband In question
is none other than Charles A. White
himself, horse fancier, High roller"
and, as he says, American representa-
tive OF the London illustrated Nei0s.
The woman who, according to Mr..
White, contracted to pay 100000 for
the privilege OF becoming Mrs. White
was Mrs. Nagle, daughter OF wealthy
merchant of Cheyenne, Wyoming. She
Is apparently not satisfied with the
costly bargain, for IL is her instance
that White is now In a cell. According
to Mrs. Whites side Of the case, the
prisoner obtained securities and bonds
worth $3.50, 900 from her by means OF
violence aud fraud. and practically ao-
Quoted her 16-year-old son.
According TO Mrs. Whites story she
paid him only $500 In cash on her
contract and he took few bonds and
mortgages In order to secure himself
for the remaining $4,000. The case
was brought to the attention OF the po-
lice by telegram from Cheyenne ask
ing for Whites arrest and asking
them to secure the boy George
Nagle. The warrant on which
White was arrested charges him with
grand larceny, the specific accusation
being based on the alleged theft OF
securities valued at $3.50 1t is said
White paid court to Mrs. Nagle, who Is
40 years old, at Hot Springs, Ark, and
soon married her. Shortly after
the marriage he abused her
and compelled her sign mort
cages on various pieces OF
property beside forcing her to en-
dorse his note for $4,000 payable
ninety days after dates He then left
Cheyenne, taking with him stocks and
bonds belonging to his wife valued at
$40. 900. and on his arrival he converted
them into cash and kept the proceeds.
White also disposed OF the mortgages
signed by Mrs. White, transferring
them to this city.

A DRY GooDs TRUST.
Big Now York, Philadelphia, Boston and
baltimore houses Said to BE In 1t.

baltimore HOUSES 6hiu W DC III Aes
New YORK, October ia combina-
tion that resembles gigantic dry goods
trust has been formed by the leading
importers and jobbers Of this city, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Al
ready the firms included In the agree
ment have promulgated circular which
cuts down, the discounts to retailers and
shuts of all bonuses and concessions to
the trade, such as dating bills ahead.
The dry goods men with whom re-
porter talked to-day disclaimed any
idea Of forming a trust. They said their
combination was more on the line OF a
''gentlemen's agreement" such as the
railroad presidents had for little
while a year or two ago. They did not
deny that discounts had been reduced
and that after January l next the com
mission to statesmen in many OF the
houses were to be cut In half. They ad-
mitted that weekly meetings are held
in the directors room OF the Central
National bank. John Claflln, OF the
Fl. B. Clafiin Company, presided at
these meetings. Last Thursday repre-
sentstives Of the Philadelphia houses
which are members Of the combination
attended the meeting.
The New York houses which have
signed the "gentlemen's agreement"
are the II. B. Clafin Company, which
does a business of $40, 900, 900; Hilton,
Hughes g. Denning, who conduct the
establishment founded by the late A. I.
Stewart, the merchant prince; 4. 5.
Jaffray g. Co., Sweeter, Pembroke &
Co., Mills g. GLIB, Tefft, Weller & Co.,
Lee, Tweedy g. Co., and Dnnham,
Buckley & Co.
The Philadelphia members include
every large dry goods firm in that city.
Hood, Foulkrod g. Co., Sharpless Broth
ers, OF which firm Mr.. Townsend Sharp
less is given the credit for organizing
the gigantic combine; Young, Smythe,
Field & Co., Joel j. Baily & Co, and
Wood, Brown & Co., are members. The
big Boston houses include Jordan,
Marsh & Co., Morris, White & Co., and
Shepard, Norwell & Co., and In Balti-
more are Hurst, Parnell & Co., Hoge
Brothers and Armstrong, Gator & Co.,
The yearly business done by all these
firms amounts to nearly half q billion
dollars, IL is said.
The members of the combination say
that the Chicago firms and the large
conservative houses, like Arnold, Con-
stable & Co., and James McCreery &
Co., are with them In spirit. Although
these houses have not signed the gen
tlenen's agreement" they are working
on the same lines as those who have.

MINISTER ROBERT 7. LINCOLN

Begs TO be Excused From Talking Ameri-
can PoIitics-The International Silver
Conference.
NEW YORK, October 16.-Hon. Robert
IT. Lincoln, United States Minister to
the Court OF St. James, who was pas
senOer on the Etruria, which reached
her dock this morning from Liverpool,
Is a guest OF the Holland House. Dur
ing the afternoon he was visited by q
number of prominent Republicans,
among whom were Senator Hale, Hon.
Patrick Egan, the Minister to Chile;
Cornelius n. Bliss and Chairman Carter,
of the Republican National Committee.
Mr.. Lincoln was rather disinclined to
talk for publication, but at length SAID:
ut is impossible for me to answer any
questions or express any opinion re-
garding English political matters. My
official position deprives me Of any free
dom which other persons may have to
do so. There is nothing connected with
nv official position that feel that can
properly speak about except the forth
coming International Monetary Confer
ence, in arranging for which had some
share. The question whether England
should favor an increased use of silver
in the currency of the world is not a
party question in England. l feel that
l may say without improperly that
there is q reasonable prospect OF a
sufficient departure by England from its
hitherto strict monometallic basis 10
give great hope of some practical steps
being taken by the conference for the
increased use of silver and for the
adoption by sufficient number OF i'm
portant powers"
When asked to give his views OF the
presidential campaign Mr.. Lincoln
begged to be excused from saying any
thing as he had been only few hours
here and had little opportunity for talk
ing over the political situation.
'sBut everything have heard" he
added, "has increased the feeling OF en-
couragement in Republican success
which had when starting on my voy-
age"
In reference to Tennyson's funeral
Mr.. Lincoln said: II knew nothing
about the arrangements for the funeral
until l was about to take the train In
London to catch the Etruria when re-
ceived a telegram from Hallam Tenny-
son requesting me in my official capac-
ity to act as pail bearer. greatly re-
gretted that 1 could not represent my
countrymen on that occasion, but since
landing have learned that my place
was taken by Mr.. White, the Secretary
OF our Legation In London"

WASHINGTON, D. c., October I6.-
The soft, balmy, Indian summer
weather which Washington is enjoying
is proving harmful to the Presidents
invalid wife, for it has a adepressing and
enervating effect upon her, and in
creases the nervousness from which she
suffers greatly. Consequently she is
even less well and strong to-day than
she has been for the past two or three
days.
a symptom in the case recently has
been exceeding drowsiness, the patient
sleeping for an hour or longer at time
and then waking up only TO fall asleep
again in few minutes. This drowsi-
ness has passed away 20 an extent, but
il has shown It's effects in increasing
exhaustion.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
evening she is slightly weaker than for
several days, Mrs. Harrison passed on
the whole fairly comfortable day and
there is, it is said, no occasion for i'm
mediate alarm. DR.. Gardner made his
last visit for the day at about z o'clock
this evening, which is a little earlier
than usual, and he said afterwards that
at the time OF his visit Mrs. Harrison
was resting quietly and was asleep.
There were no present indications OF
fresh complications in the case. The
President remained In the White House
with his sick wife nearly the entire
day, the only time he left her being
late in the afternoon when, in company
with members Of his household, he
spent an hour or so in strolling about

A COMPLICATION
Resulting From Refused Pardon Which
MAY Cost Democrats Votes


May Cost Democrats votes
NEW YORK, October 16.-A political
complication, which may cause Demo
cratic party In this State the loss OF
many of the votes OF the clothing cut
ters, WAS disclosed at the meeting OF
the Central Labor Union to-day, in
Clarendon Hall, at which Cover
nor Flower was denounced for
refusing to pardon Master Workman
James Hughes, of National Trades AS
sembly, No. 231, Of Cement Workers,
who was convicted eighteen months ago
OF extortion. Samuel A. Jacobson, OF
the clothing cutters, who is chairman
of a committee appointed to wait upon
Governor Flower and try to have him
reconsider his refusal to pardon Hughes,
said: ~ called upon Gov. Flower, Oc-
tober 9th. He said that he had heard
that Hughes was crooked, and had not
turned over all the monies he had re-
cei yed In settlement Of Ooycotts to the
clothing cutters. ! informed him that
there was not q word OF truth in what
be had heard. The Governor then as
sured ma that he would reconsider his
refusal to pardon Hughes. Soon after
this the Governor went up through the
State and fell In with President Brick
ner, of the Chamber OF Commerce OF
Rochester. Brickner filled his ears
with false statements about Hughes.
The result was that Gov. Flower has re-
fused TO reconsider his refusal TO par
don Hughes. The clothing cutters OF
this State represent $4,000 voters. We
nave not vet determined whether we
shall throw them against the Demo-
cratic party, but we may do so il this
pardon is not granten. The clothing
cutters are going to try 70 get money
enough to carry Hughes case to the
Court Of Appeals.
