ON HIS OWN MOTION.
Emperor William Made the First
Advance to Bismarck.
Gratitude Got the Better of His drudge
when He Saw AlsaCe-
Lorraine.

NEW YORK, Sept 29-Edmund Yates
cables the Tribune from London: From
an official friend in Berlin hear that the
Emper0r's cOnciliatOry telegram to Prince
Bismarck was purely spontaneous, though
the unfortunate arrangement between
him and the ex-Chancellor had certainly
formed the subject of previous conversa-
tions between the Emperor and the King
of Saxony as well as Emperor Fran els
Joseph. 1t is equally certain that the
Grand Duke of Baden has protited by the
opportunity of frequent intercourse with
his imperial nephew during the late
maneuvers in Alsace-Lorraine and else
where in South Germany to represent to
the Emperor the satisfaction that would
be felt by all the nation at a reconciliation
between him and the Prince; ard if there
are two men in all Germany who have
more influence than any others over the
young Emperor those Two men are the
Grand Duke of Baden and the King of
Saxony. 1t was 10 the latter, it may be
embered, that the late Emperor Freder-
lex before bis death cOnfided the personal
care of his eldest son in the most especial
manner, and it is known that the Emperor,
on more than one occasion. has appealed
TO and been guided by the sagacious coun-
sci of King Albert for the Emperor, con-
trary TO the generally received opinion of
him. is by no means impervious to the
advice OF others.
At the same time, while thus disposed to
acts of generosity by the illustrious per-
| Sonages above alluded, it was the Emperor
himself who seiz-d the opportunity pre-
sented by the eX-Chancellor's serious i'll
ness at Washington to take the first step TO-
ward a reconciliation. This entirely &c
cords with the impusiveness of his
Majesty's character. But there was still an
other cOntributory element in tine matter.
While in Metz and Strassburg his magma
ton had been impressed anew in the most
vivid manner by the merits Of the men
whose policy has restored Alsace- Lorraine
to the Fatherland and gratitude got the
better of his grudge.

" EVIDENCE OF MURDER.
Investigating the Foul Crime in La

= mesa canyon.
=; SAN. DIEGO. Sept. 29.-The Coroner and
jury engaged in the inquest over the re-
mains, of the:man found in the canyon at
La Mesa visited the spot to-day and were
convinced that murder had been commit
ted. Evidence was obtained that coal oil
and probably tar had been used in the par
tial cremation of the victim, but the
strongest proof OF the crime was discovered
in a shallow grave which had been dug
near by.
The earth being hard. loose soil had
been. showed back into the hole after a
depth of a foot and half had been
reached, the destruction of the body by
nre apparently being a second thought.
The belief that The dead man was A. E.
Warner is practically abandoned. Articles
found on the body are not being recog-
niZsd by those who knew him. The only
thing to identify the bones as Warmers
are the teeth. Other circumstances ind-
cate the victim to be another man. The
fact that Warner had disappeared counts
for nothing, from the fact that he was a
thief and knew the officers were after him.

started to run. Geary's gun then caught
in some bushes and was discharged. The
charge penetrated his head. His horse
then dashed to a precipce and. stopping
suddenly, threw the body into the guch.

dition. His horse made its way home and
was taken care of by neighbors.
