RETURNED rHE VISIT.
Emperor william Calls on Prince Bis
marck at Friedrichsruhc.

emperor Wlitnm Cnlis on Gftnco Btn-
marck at Triedrichsruhc.
FRrEDRIcHsRuHE, Feb. 21.-Another
link has been forged in the chain of
reconciliation between Emperor Will
liam and Prince Bismarck. Emperor
William left Berlin at 2:20 Monday
afternoon and arrived here shortly
after o'clock. In spite of the request
by the emperor that there should be no
demonstration upon the occasion of his
arrival here the railway station and
the village were gayly decorated.
Prince Bismarck, upon leaving the
castle for the railroad station in order
to meet Emperor William, was greeted
with loud applause by the crowds of
people assembled. The emperor, who
wore a naval uniform covered by dark
cloak, stepped briskly out of the
carriage when the train drew up
at the platform and approached
Prince Bismarck, who wore the
cuirassier uniform, with helmet, and
the gray uniform cloak recently pre-
sented to him by the emperor Warm
| and repeated hand shakes were eX-
changed between the emperor
and the ex-chancellor, after which
the former carefully wrapped the
| gray cloak around the princes
shoulders, Bismarck having doffed the
garment just previous to greeting the
emperor. The emperor and Prince Bis
marck then walked to the castle of
Friedrichsruhe, followed by the em-
peror's suite of seven persons. They
were enthusiastically received by the
crowds lining the route. Upon arriving
at the castle Emperor William greeted
Princess Bismarck and, with the prin-
cess upon his arm, the emperor pro-
ceeded to the salon. The emperor con-
graduated Prince Bismarck on his
hearty appearance and then introduced
the prince 10 his suite. The emperor
shook hands with Secretary Chrysander
and DIR. Schweninger.
The dinner TO his majesty was in
private. Only twelve covers We're laid
Neither Count Herbert nor William
Bismarck was present The emperor
sat between Prince and Princess Bis
marclS. After dinner all eonversed cor
uially, the prince and emperor smok-
ing.
At o'clock his majesty took his de-
parture. The ex-chancellor accom-
panied him back to the station and he
and the emperor shook hands several
times before parting. On the way to
the station from the Bismarck resi-
dence the cheering of the crowds wax
incessant and the emperor repeatedly
saluted.
Returning home Prince Bismarck
was almost carried off his feet by his
excited admirers, who crowded around
him, and the crush became so grea,
that the fire brigade had to precede the
carriage and clear the way. Prince
Bismarck seems to be in much better
health since his reconciliation with the
emperor than for long time past.
The reconciliation is now complet'
and Bismarck's influence will soon b'
felt again. But he never again will b'
chancellor, although he could be to
morrow if he wished to. The empero
will probably create an entirely new
|, |. office for him. at an early date.

MRS. LEASE A MASON.
Says She Knows All Secrets and Will In
itiate Other Women.

t1uUe women
L ToPEKA, Kan, Feb. 20.-Mrs. NJ. E.
Lease announces that she is mason in
good standing, knight Templar and
a member of Hugh de Payne COM
mandery of Fort Scott. She wears in
a conspicuous place Knight Templar
charm with the keystone and other in
sigma of the order and declares she is
as much entitled to display it as any
male member of the order. She has
talked with number of masons to
whom she has demonstrated that she
knows all the signs, grips and pass
words of the blue lodge and chapter,
and she claims that she came into poses
sion of them in a legitimate manner.
Speaking of her membership in the or
der she said:
''If masonry is good for men 1t is better
for women, as we are more in need OF protec.
tion than men. Once by giving sign OF the
order was saved from personal violence, and
from that moment I resolved TO give to all
deserving women the advantage of masonry
that enjoy. have other plans for my future
aside from politics and the lecture field I
propose TO devote large share OF my time
to initiating women IL to the secrets OF masonry.
AS am thoroughly informed in the details OF
masonic work TO high degree, 1t will not be
necessary for me 10 obtain the permission of
any masonic body before beginning work
in this field, and II the men decline TO recognize
my converts 10 masonry we can act inde-
pendently of them and time Will force them TO
cooperate with u.s."
While Mrs. Lease admits it is con-
trary to the laws of masons to initiate
women into its mysteries, she insists
that she became mason in strictly
! legitimate way, but declines to give
! particulars of the manner in which she
acquired the secrets of the order Mrs.
Lease challenges any mason to test her
knowledge of the secret work of the
order. The masons, of course, deny
her claims and say that she is not q
mason, and that if she has obtained the
secrets of the order it was by undue
| means.

rectly wrong with regard TO the election. nor

ternoon and gave himself up.

WINS bond be fixed at $4,000 and
it was so fixed. Bondsmen were eX-
pected to be present, but failed to ap-
pear, and Mr.. Marvin vent out with a
deputy marshal looking for friends

EVANS GIVES UP.
The Famous Bandit and His Partner In
in Crime, M1rrel, Captured.


VIsALIA, Cal, Feb. 81. = Bandits
Evans and Morrcll are now safely
lodged behind the bars in the county
Jail here having surrendered to Sher-
iff Kay. A posse under the di-
rection of Marshal Gard and Sher-
iff Kay went to Evans house
at a. IN. Monday and lost no time in
surrounding it. 1t was learned that
woman named Mrs. Brighton was in
the house together with Evans chill
dren, and an effort was made to get
capture the outlaws.
1t was evident that the bandits were
thoroughly frightened at the large
force that had surrounded them. All
varieties of firearms were brought
into use and the posse was well
prepared for the attack Negotiations
between the officers and Evans
were carried on by letters delivered
by the bandits youngest son. Half the
population of the town stood about
the house at safe distance while the
proceedings We're going on. Matters
having been thoroughly arranged,
Sheriff Kay paid young man
named Beeson to go into the house to
get Evans children out. Beeson was
admitted and it was some time before
he came out. His presence, doubtless,
had some influence with Evans, for it
was not long afterward before he sur
rendered to the sheriff.
Evans exhibited signs of his long
confinement, and looked very rough.
Morrell showed no signs of fear, yet
he seemed serious, and appeared to ap
preciate the condition of affairs. The
citizens here feel greatly relieved since
the capture of the two men.' The cap
ture of the bandits will occasion mucf
rejoicing throughout the state, for 81
long as they were at large the officers
of the law knew that their robberie
and murders would continue.

SIXTY LIVES LOST.
Confirmation OF the Report of n Disnstor
in the Caribbean Sen.

New ORLEANS, Feb 20. "A rumor
was published here about week ago
telling of the loss of the steam-tug
Millard, belonging to the Nicaragua
Navigation company, off the Nicar-
aguan coast, and having aboard sixty
men. The news of the terrible loss of
life has been confirmed. 1t is true
that not single man aboard the vessel
survived to tell the story. A reporter
met an English gentleman in the st.
Charles who is going to Nicaragua and
who has interests in that section. He
has received word from Greytown con-
tirming the rumor of the loss of the
vessel.
The Millard was tug of twenty tons
burden. In command of Capt. Joe
Thompson it was making its way with
the sixty men from Greytown to Blue
fields, where they were to do some
work for the navigation company.
Several weeks elapsed and no
news was received that the ves-
sci had arrived. Rumors were cir
culated that it had gone down in the
Caribbean sea, and that all on the ship
were lost in the squall which some time
ago blew terriically across that body
of dangerous water. While the con-
firmation of the loss of the ship is
made in the dispatch forwarded to
London no particulars could be as
certained. 1t will never be known
| whether the vessel went down in a
gale which visited the waters in which
it piled shortly after its departure
from Greytown, or whether it sprung q
leak which the men aboard could not
stop. Capt Anderson, the English gen
tleman who informed the reporter of the
confirmation of the rumor, said he was
acquainted with Capt. Thompson ant
has seen the vessel which he says i:
about twenty tons burden. Whether
or not any of the wreckage has beer
found to tell the sad tale Capt. Ander
| son could not tell.
