EMPEROR WILLIAM DELIGHTED
WITH HIS SUCCESS.
The Kaiser Becomes impatient With
the Long Political Debate and Tries

Berlin, July 15.-The army bill was
by a majority of 10, the vote standing
POI i'll favor Of the measure to 1S5

After the bill was formally adopted
the reichstag WIS declared closed
Soon after the bill was put on the
final passage and after the speakin.
commenced, it became certain that the
leaders of the opponents 10 the So1 ern
ment meant business and did DOT i'll
tend 10 let the measure be adopted in
4 perfunctory manner. Speaker after
speaker paid less attention to attacking
or supporting the bill than to railing
at his political opponents.
The chancellor, who was suffering Sc
vere,y from inflated veins in the leg
listened to the discussion for an houl
and a half and then disappeared from
the house. 1t was learned subsequently,
that he left the house to meet the EN-
perOr. The kaiser had become ilnpa
tent and had driven up to the minis
ter'S private entrance, through Which
he entered the parliamentary building
1t is understood his majesty urged
the chancellor to have the bill carried
through the house at once, as he desired
to start tonight fer Kiel, from which
place he intends to go to Bornholm
an island belonging to Denmark.
The chancellor returned to the house
and spoke privately to Herr Won Levet
zow, president, and several members
with a view to eXpediting the close Of
the discussion. The stream of talk
WAS still steadily lowing on with nc
sign Of a check.
The emperor, impatiently Tuning out
side. called for Freiherr Won Stumm
Halbcrg. who Went to his majesty anC
reported progress. Probably finding
he could get nothing but indefinite
statements from this source, the EN-
perOr left the building before the di
vision was taken.
The emperor is delighted at the
passage of the bill, and rumor has il
that he will confer upon Chancellor
Won Caprivi the dignity of prince.

opened for business Feb. 8, 1887, with
John Plankinton as president, Freder-
ick I. Day as vice-president and John

lam Plankinton was chosen vice-presi
dent, while Mr.. Murphy continued as
cashier. A new board of directors was
chosen as follows: President Day
Eice-President Plankinton, Francis
Sanderson, Charles L. Clason and
Eugene S. Elliott This board, with
the exception of Mr.. Sanderson who
died last winter, was in control of the
affairs of the institution at the time
of its suspension. The vacancy caused
by the death of Mr. Sanderson was
not filled.
On Jan. 1 last Cashier Murphy
severed his connections with the
Plankinton and went to the Wiscon-
sin Fire and Marine Insurance COM
pany bank. With his retirement w.
III. MOmsen became cashier of the
Plankinton bank, which office he held
until the failure. The amount of
stock held by the officers and directors
at the time of the failure was as fol

The North Dakota Murderer in
Custody at Fargo.

Fargo, \. D., July 13.-Albert Baum
berger the wholesale murderer, OF
Cando, \. D., was landed in jail here
this morning. He acknowledged the
published accounts of his crime as
correct.
On the morning Of July Miss An
ME kreider, whose father. D. s.
kreider, lived on farm couple of
miles from Cando, arrived in town
and gave the information that her
fathers family had been murdered by
a hired man. People hurried to the
farm and found terrible crime had
been committed. The father, mother
and four children, three girls and il
boy aged respectively 10, IL, 9 and Z
years were dead from wounds inflicted
by Albert Baumberger with a shot
gun. The girl, by piteous supplications,
! induced the man to spare her life
and the lives of her three remaining
brothers, all Of whom are very young
At the muzZle of the gun he compelled
the girl to get his breakfast, with the
corpse of her mother lying at her feet
After leisurely eating his meal he as
saulted the girl, and tying her in the
barn to prevent her escape. he sad
died a pony and rode away northward.
The girl freed herself and hurried to
CandO.
AS soon as the people learned of the
murder they organized a posse to cap
ture the murderer. They struck the
trail of Baumberger, who was evil
IDENTIFY making for the boundary. He
was captured near the Canada line
and brought back. He talked coolly
and freely of his crime
He went to work for the Treiders
last fall and became attached to the
daughter Annie, who was the eldest
child. He made improper proposals
to her and tried often to accomplish
his purpose, but was always baff1ed
The last attempt was made on the
might of July 6. The girl resisted and
cried and threatened to tell her father.
This aroused the demon in the nature
of the criminal and he determined to
do away with all obstacles by killing
| the whole family.
The next n ming he went up stairs
and shot the father while he lay in
bed. He returned to the floor beneath
and shot Mrs. Kreider. The noise
awakened the children. Then he shot

hands behind her he afterwards led her
to the barn, where he assaulted her

TALES DON'T GIBE,
A Witness Weakens in the eMad Muir
der Trial

Waupaca, Wis, July 15.-There was
a lively argument about admitting new
testimony again this morning in the
Mead murder case. Judge Cate claimed
that if it was done it might prolong the
case indefinitely and he did not think It
fair to spring such testimony without
giving the defense a chance to meet it.
Mr.. Quarles claimed they had evil
dence that the state was not in posses
sion Of when the case closed, which had
a material bearing on the case. The
state expected to prove by G. r. Chris
Hanson, postmaster of Ogdensburg, that
on the morning of October 8 he saw
Prior and Hanscomb coming from lola
about 5 o'clock. Mr. Christensen was
sworn and said he could not swear
positively that the man was Prior and
could not swear whether the other per-
son was man or woman.
Witness was asked to give his opin-
ion now as to whether. after looking
at defendant, Prior, he was not the
man. This was objected to by the de-
tense. The court sustained the OBJ
lection and said that at this late date
he would not allow any more such
testimony to be introduced.
Judge Bardeen then asked witness IL
at the time he saw these parties on
the road he came to any conclusions
Witness answered emphatically: ''No.
sir"
Mr.. Quarles stated that they had a
! "a ont
something of importance bearing on the
case, and now he comes forward and
testities that he knows nothing"
The state then asked witness if Mr..
~ not one of his bOndsmen and if
he was not in LEAFS place this morning.
This was objected to and sustained.
Mr.. A. Rice, of Amigo, who lived in
Waupaca, was called to the stand to
swear that Fred Lea came home at an
earlier hour than the one testified.
That was objected to and sustained.
Jas. Meikeliohn was permitted to tes-
tify that he told Prior at the time of
his arrest in 1880 that he heard that
Sam Stout was ready to give the whole
thing away as soon rs move Wi.
1
also objected to as hearsay.
This testimony was brought on for
the purpose Of endorsing Williams tcs-
timOny that Prior and Lea talked about
Sam Stout's squealing.
Ex-District Attorney Hutchinson was
brought on the stand to show Frank
Stouts actions at the time Kenney
Sherman was being examined at New
London. The defense objected and
Judge Bardeen sustained the objection.
Mr.. Willard was not permitted to
testify to an alleged conversation with
Prior week after the murder.
This afternoon the state attacked
BrOnsOn's alibi. John M. Ware and w.
r. Craig repeated the stories Bronson
told after the murder which did not
agree with what he said on the stand.
Mr.. Shoemaker, secretary of the
grand jury, was sworn, and pointed
out where witnesses had sworn differ
emily Oh the trial than before the
grand jury.

Young Man-Afraid-O of -His-HOrse was
the most reliable Indian of all the Sioux,
q great friend of the government as
was proven by his actions in the out
break at the agency in 1S9O-91 and the
late murder of Feb. 4 of the four white
men on White river. 1t was through
his assistance that the police arrested
the murderers. By his death without

such minds have returned with greater
conviction to the belief in the existence
of something more powerful than sci

the evils from which they suffer, or
imagine they do. Among these there
may even be social philanthropists,
who may think that divine intercesion
is more efficacious to cure the suffering
of the people than anarchist theories.

THE PLURALITY QUESTION WILL BE VOTED ON
IN NOVEMBER.


IN NOVEMBER.
Providence r. l.. Oct (speciaD-The Executive
Committee of the Republican state League held a
meeting at the Narragansett Hotel yesterday af-
ternoon and made arrangements for the next
quarterly meeting of the League, which Is to be
held In Woonsocket. At the election to be held
next spring a Legislature will be chosen which VIII
elect United States Senator to succeed Nathan T..
Dixon. The Democrats have great hopes OF Sc
curing a majority in which case 1t is believed that
Samuel r. Honey. OF Newport. the present director
general Of Democratic politics in this State. Will
be elected. The Democrats will fight hard to poll
a large vote for other reasons. The present state
government is a hod-over government, and is likely
to so continue until the General Assembly meets In
Newport the last Tuesday in May next. Prob
ably the issue could be fought out at the polls by
the nomination of the candidates for Gov
ernor and the Democrats will make the fight or
their lives to Justify by popular vote their claim
that David S. Baker jr. should have been IN
augurated Governor last spring. However. the Re
publicans not asleep. and with the closing or
the registry books on December 81 there will be the
largest Republican registration on record.
The fact that the plurality amendment, so called
is to be voted on the last Tuesday IN November
complexities the situation little. Leading men in
both parties favor the amendment. which aboishes
the majority system of elections now in vogue
The voting takes place the day Of the Providence
city election The city of Providence VIII give the
amendment large majority, and the vote in the
country will DO light, 1t will undoubtedly carry
If 1t does the election next April will be held
under IL. As far the choice of members or the
LEGISLATURE is concerned the Republicans are likely
to gain more than the Democrats by the change.
There has not been election for the General
Assembly since the Democrats became so strong
in Providence in which several Republicans did
not have a plurality on the first election On
second elections in this city the Democrats usually
win Therefore, under the plurality system, the
Republicans are likely to gain several members
