APPROACHING THE CRISIS.
The German Electoral Campaign Marked
by Great Activity.


BERLIN, Juno 5.-The approach OF
election day only serves to stimulate
the activity Of the different political
parties. There has been little change
in the situation during the past week,
but it is thought that the government is
growing stronger. The semi official
press has been stopped in it's attempts
to create war alarms and its suggestions
Of inducements to bring about party
adhesion to the army bill. The govern
ment is quiescent. This attitude is an
entirely new experience here and is
perplexing to the minds of the bureau
Gratis, who are accustomed to get official
inspiration as to how they should work
upon the electoral DISTRICTS.
1t is understood that the government
intends to remain reticent, hoping to
draw more advantage from party schlsms
than by taking an active part in the
electoral campaign. SO intent is the
emperor to prevent any remark OF his
that would be apt to be misconstrued
from reaching the public that after yes
terday's review of the Berlin garrison
upon the Tempelhofer field only a
limited circle of generals and colonels
were permitted TO hear his msjesty's
address. The other officers were warned
away from the emperor's immediate
presence, and all those who heard his
words were forbidden to gossip about
what they heard.
The Catholics throughout Alsace- Lor-
raine are hostile to the military bill,
and will contest every district in the
province. Their list of candidates shows
that priests will stand for election in
Metz, Thionville, Sarrebruck, Flo; bach,
Mulhausen and Strasburg.

LIZZIE BORDEN's TRIAL.
The Fall River Murder Mystery at Last In
Court.

The Fall River Murder Mystery at Last In
Court.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 5.--The
long anticipated trial of Lizzie Borden
has begun. At an early hour this morn
ing every shady nook and spot on County
street, near the corner Of the courthouse,
was prompted, and patiently the settlers
and ISLANDERS waited until the bell on the
courthouse tolled, signifying the open
ing of court.
Precisely at 1858 Miss Lizzie A. Dor e.
den,' the prisoner, came slowly into the
courtroom and was shown to her seat
in the dock. She was attired in very
becoming costume of black brocaded
stuff, and wore pretty shade hat
relieved here and there by touch Of
blue.
The jury was completed at 4:45 D. M.
The quickness with which the jury was
empanelled was surprise to everybody,
even to counsel, and they were some
what unprepared. The hour WAS so late
that it was not known whether it was
best to go on with the opening for the
prosecution or to defer the matter till
morning, and consultation took place
between counsel. 1t was decided that
there should be no opening to night. and
the court was adjourned till tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock. District Attorney
knowlton is OF the opinion that at least
three weeks will be required to finish
up the trial provided there are no set.

DIR. Eohols Scores the Presbytery and Re-
nOunces His Church.


ALBANY, N. V, June 5.-There was
remarkable scene in the Second
Presby terian Church in this city yester-
day morning, when its pastor renowned
the Presbyterian faith and declared
that the Presbyterian general assembly
was the most "bigoted intolerant, and
reactionary body" ever seen in any de.
nomination.
The Second Presbyterian Church is
the Oldest and most influential in the
city, AMI DR.. Ecols has boen it's pastor
for the past twelve years. He came
here from Augusta, Me-, where he was
for many years pastor of the church
attended by James &. Blaine. He has
been staunch follower OF DR.. Briggs
throughout the latter's trial for heresY,
and several times has criticised the
latter's opponents. When the news OF
DR.. Briggs suspension reached here DR..
Ecols said:

Church has made retrograde move.

they will go singly remains to BIO seen.

New Lisbon oil OF water gas NAV be had for 40

tured gas at 20 cents, and there are profits that

that the only city Of any size besides Cleveland

cal changes, but it must be remembered that
the change from private to municipal owner
