THE GERMAN EMPEROR.
Nothing Known at the Legation Of
Coming to This Couutry.

Nothing Known at the Legation Of His
Coming to This Country.
An attache Of the German legation said to .
STAR reporter this morning that the legation
knew nothing Of the reported coming Of the
German emperor to this country. 1--WE do not
believe that he is coming" he added. "We
have received no official inquiries regarding a
proposed trip. In fact not word that would
indicate that he has any intention Of coming
has been received here"
Later the reporter met a gentleman who has
just arrived from Germany and who is engaged
In making preparations for the transportation
and accommodation of Prince 'Schlesswig- Hol-
stein. the emperor's brother-iu-law, who will
come over here rs the emperor's personal rep
resentative in September to visit the fair. This
gentleman said apropos Of the report Of the
emperor's coming:
HE would like very much IN come. He has
SO expressed himself within the past month
He would like nothing better. His coming
would not be SO much to honor America as to
honor the Germans who have come here and
who have made this country their home. He
does not like them to leave Germany, but he
remembers how generously they assisted the
fatherland during the Franco-German war, and
he is grateful
Were he king of Prussia only 1 think he
would come. but he is emperor of Germany,
and do not believe that the council Of feder-
alton would like him to come. He is emperor
by their good will. We're he to 60 SO far away
it would be necessary to elect a regent to reign
during his absence and that would involve
much trouble and annoyance. 1t is for that
But the Prince Schlesswig- Holstein will
come. He will be here in September. He is
about thirty years old unmarried and dash
ing young man, full of life and fun 90

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE local stock market
opened in sympathy with lower cables from
London.
The market developed increased weakness
soon after the opening and the room traders
succeeded in bringing about material decline
in prices.
The failures in various parts Of the country
and the suspension of two brokers on the Lon
don stock exchange, accompanied as they were
by orders to sell stock for foreign account
created a very bearish feeling.
There was further rally after II o. clock on
covering OF short contracts. IN tho general
list the Improvement was equal to da$I. Still
later General Electric fell back to 50 and the
market at noon was dull and barely steady in
tone.
Brokers operating for Var leaders walked
from crowd to crowd al imply did as they
pleased with prices. The feeling was blue and
the rumor mongsrs were actively at work.
Failures were limited at, but no names were
mentioned.
At 2 o'clock the market was steadier and
rally OF Z to IA per cent took place, the latter
steady.
No clearing house certificates we're issued and
none retired today.
The silver market is weak and lower
certificates falling to 7lss at the stock
exchange. The Treasury Department pur-
chases yesterday were disappointingly small to
holders and accounts for the weakness Of the
market Commercial bar silver fell to 7O1S,

Court, heard the case of Elizabeth r.
Shoemaker against Thomas B. Entwisle on
motion of defendant to dissolve. the restraining
order made on May 10 last. The facts in the
case are that.2ihs Misses Moore, owners OF
property on It'll street between N and

and finding it necessary for a stronger wall
than existed between this ground and that of
Mrs. Shoemaker had the wall inspected by the
building inspector (the defendant). He made
wall defective and dangerous. and
notified Mrs. Shoemaker to remove
it. Mrs. Shoemaker did not do SO and proceed

Attorney Generals opinion as to the rights and
powers of the government in preserving the
lines Of battle at Gettysburg to the national
Get ysburg battlefield commission, of which
Col. Nicholson is president, for such action as
they deem best under the circumstances. 1t is
understood that an arrangement has been
made with the trolley company for total sus-
pension of operations in any wise tending to
further despoil the battlefield, pending further
action by the government. II this arrange
ment can be consummated it is not likely the
government will be pu: to the necessity of re-
sorting to legal measures to secure the land
required for proper execution of the pro-
visions of the act appropriating S25, 900 for
marking and preserving the lines of battle.
No further action will be taken by the War
Department in this matter until the views of
the members Of the national commission on the
question Of instituting condemnation proceed

that Congress will take favorable action on this

Gov. Buckley Thinks There VIII Be q Com
promise, but Don't Know What.
Ex-Lieut. Gov. Buckley of Connecticut was
in the city today en- route home from a trip
through the northwest. where he paid par:icu-
lar attention to the financial situation now
agitating that section. Having lately seen both
sides Of the silver question through his resi-
dence in Connecticut and his observations in
the west, Gov. Bulkley was in a position to
talk interestingly to a STAR man, who met him
at the Interior Department this morning.
II think the result Of the struggle between
the free silver and the gold standard men will
be a compromise" he said. 'As a matter Of
fact, that rabid free silver sentiment which pre-
vailed in the west two years ago has abated
somewhat. The people out there want an in
creased volume Of money. They feel that there
is not enough money in circulation to transact
the business of the country, and they turned to
the idea of free silver as a method of relief If
free coinage is impracticable, probably some
system Of fiat money would serve them Just as
well. More money they must have; that's
certain"
.How does the idea of the removal of the tax
on state banks suit them?"
well. they might be induced to try it. but
don't believe they would try il long. We who
have lived through the times when state banks
were in existence remember the trouble we had
with their notes. think the west would soon
get tired of state banks.
"Of course, in nv state. being a community
OF banks and financial institutions we naturally
prefer single standard. gold standard. We
don't want state banks, we don't want any fat
money or free coinage. but We may have to
yield something to the demands of such large
portion of the people Of the country and meet
them halt way In some compromise measure
after the Sherman act is repealed.
1t is hard to say what the compromise will
be. but feel assured that it will be a wise and
safe act. am not a croaker and do not -.
lieve that we are to suffer any great firoicial
disaster. have confidence in the wisdom Of

Mr.. PALMER'S PLAN.
The Illinois Senator on the Silver
Question.
WOULD REPEAL THE SHERMAN ACT.
Then Issue Notes Payable at the
Holders Option.
A NEVADA PROCLAMATION.

CHICAGO, July III favored the repeal
Of the sherman act at the last session Of Con-
gress," said Senator Palmer last night. "but we
were not strong enough il the Senate to
pass the repeal. / think now, however, the
act can be repealed. although the silver men
will make a strong fight against it l assume
that at least eight states in the west, with a rep
resentation Of sixteen in the Senate, will be
opposed to the repeal Of the bill.
The silver men of the south will probably be
willing to vote for the repeal upon
the consideration that the tax on
state bank circulation be recalled Such
repeal would be, i'm nv opinion, u
calamity little short Of free coinage. Not
that the tax is right, for it is not believe it
IL an abuse by the government of its taxing
powers. 1t is considerably like the proposed
option tax. believe that state bank circula-
ton is wrong. and the government-the great
banker-should suppress it directly, not by tax
ing it.
my idea Of a remedy for the present condi-
ton is the repeal of the Sherman act, the re-
demption Of outstanding circulation, and the
issue Of notes payable in coin at the option Of
the holder.
This talk that the President is using his
power Of appointments to help him in the
effort to repeal the sherman act will be readily
taken up BY the silver men. who are anxious
for Just such timber. / know that if / were
president would appoint men to Office who
agree with me on all great questions. II Mr..
Cleveland has as much sense as think he has
he will do the same thing"
NEVADA WAR CRY.
WINSEMUccA. NV, July 1.-THE chairman
Of the state central committee Of the silver
party Of Nevada has issued the following:
The gold bugs, with Grover Cleveland at
their head, are making a most determined
effort to have the Sherman law repealed
at the extra session of Congress and
the gold standard permanently fixed
upon this country. Intimidation, bribery
and executive threats are their weapons The
friends Of silver in nearly all Of our sister states
are theoretically organizing for the conflict.
Shall Nevada lag behind? She was foremost Of
all the states in her loyalty to the silver
cause in the late presidential campaign. Let
every silver club in the state and every election
precinct meet in convention and pass resolu-
tons in earnest protest.
ITO secure nnanimity Of action we advise
that such meetings be held Saturday, the 18Th
instant.
1T is of the highest importance that Nevada
shall be represented at the meeting OF the
American Bimetallic League to be convened at
Chicago August l, and we suggest that the
silver leagues of each county, SO far possible,
name a delegate to that meeting
