A CHANGE OF POLICY,
Tic German Government to Look More
Strictly After Her Agricul-
tural Interests.
AGRICULTURAL BUREAUS
To Be Established in Various Foreign
Countries---One Will Be at
Washington.
AGRICULTURAL BUREAUS

New York, Nov. IA special from
Berlin says: It is believed there are
further surprises in store. Count Her
bert Bismarck has arrived in Berlin IN
expectedly. It is thought he may have
an embassy, or be made councillor to
the chancellory.
Change in the Imperial Policy.
1t is stated that Prince Hohenlohe
has come to an agreement with En-
peror William, which will change the
imperial policy in several important re-
spects. The first visible sign Of this is
the issuance Of an order to establish
agricultural bureaus in connection with
the German embassies at London,
Washington, Paris, Vienna and St.
Petersburg. This step is looked upon
as evidence of a s~tricter protective
agrarian policy which is known to have
been contemplated for some time past.
But difficulties in this connection arose
with the old ministry. It is also said
that the government intends to estab-
ish an imperial colonial ministry and
this is looked upon as a sign of an &C
tive colonial policy.

SPANISH CABINET CRISIS.
Disagree on Financial Questio
and RESIGN. .

Ministers Disagree on Financial Questions
and Resign.
MADRID, Nov. 1.-As a result of the
cabinet council held during the day the
ministers have resigned. Minister
Sagasta has gone to inform the queen
regent Of the action of the cabinet. It
is believed that the crisis will be found
to be diffcult.o of solution. Though the
causes that have led to the resignation
of the Spanish ministry cannot be posi-
lively stated, it is pretty safe to assume
that the crisis was partly precipitated
by colonial questions. The govern
ment recently arranged with the Bank
OF Spain for an advance of 10000, 900
pestas in Spanish silver dollars to re-
place the Mexican dollars in the Porto
Rico company. This project was
strenuously opposed by Senior Maura,
the colonial minister, but his colleagues
persisted in carrying out the arrange.
ment and Senior Maura resigned.

A DIAB0LICAL SCHEME.
Wholesale Murder and Express Rob-
berry the Motive For the Recent
500 Wreck.
ONE MAN HAS CONFESSED.
Intended to Cause a Wreck That
Would Kill Every Person on
the Train.

MILWAUKEE,, Nov. Ia special to
The Wisconsin from Merrill, Wis, says:
Wholesale murder and express rob-
berry was the motive that inspired the
recent train wrecking on the 500 road.
Two men charged with the murder of
n man who lost his life by the wreck
were given a preliminary hearing here
and held for trial. One Of the prisoners
has confessed, and his story details the
methods pursued to derail the through
Minneapolis Boston limited, near Heat
ford junction, on the night of Oct. II.
In the crash, Fireman Charles Cottrell
was instantly killed and Engineer
James Dutch seriously injured. The
plan was to cause a wreck that would &.
Kill Every Person on the Train
and then rob the safe in the express
car, as it was supposed the safe con-
tain a large sum Of money. The man
who confessed is Levitt Hazleton, about
20 years old, who claims to be a resi-
dent of Brainerd, Mimi. His compan-
ion is Frank Williams, a short, thick
set man, who claims to have relatives
and friends at Appleton, Wis. Williams
stoutly maintains that he knows moth
ing Of the wrecking.
The officers traced these men from
Minneapolis to this city. On Sept. 80,
they broke into and stole an oil coat and
overcoat at the tool house at Prentice.
That night they sawed a bridge near
that place, but owing to the short time
in which they had to do the work, it
was not complete and the train passed
over safely. The following weeks
time was spent between Prentice and
Rhinelander. On Oct. + they were
seen in Rhinelander and there pur-
chased some groceries. On Oct. Z they
Sawed the Piles and %stringers
of the high bridge near Heafford juno
ton, and the westbound passenger
train Went crashing down a. 25.foot
embankment. The train was running
slow, so the wreck was not as complete
as the wreckers expected. The baggage,
smoking and day coaches and two s.eep-
ers were not broken, and none of the
passengers were hurt. On Oct. H.,
Sheriff Patzer received a telegram from
the station agent at Irus to look out for
two suspicious looking characters. That
night the sheriff, accompanied by 9TH
ers, stationed himself about a mile from
the city, near Lakeview, and about
10 O'Clock two men appeared.
They were taken into custody, and
were found to be heavily armed.
The 500 officials We're notified and de-
tectives put on their case. The men
were sentenced for 30 days for carrying
concealed weapons. Last Wednesday
they were taken before Court Commits
sioner Helms, charged with the MUIR
der of Fireman Charles Cotterill. They
pleaded not guilty and their examina-
ton was set for Occt. 81.
Last Friday Levitt Hazleton signifed
his willingness to confess. His state
ment was taken before Ed Kleutz, no.
tary public, in the presence of Sheriff
Patser, District Attorney Anderson and
F. x. Hotze.

Ban ON . Montreal journal Upheld by the
Courts.
MONTREAL, Nov. Judge Doherty
has dismissed The Canada Revue case.
The Revue began a series Of attacks on
the Catholic church. Archbishop Fabric
put the publication under the ban of
the church, and The Revue sued the
bishop for $50. 600. The judge dismisses
the case on the ground that the arch
bishop acted within the bounds Of his
authority and without malice, because
it did not interfere with the plaintiffs
right Of selling the paper to whomso-
ever wanted to read it. Judge Doherty
said that such a high dignitary of the
church as an archbishop, who is the
spiritual adviser Of many thousand
souls, has a perfect right to warn per-
sons under his spiritual charge against
pernicious literature, and also to con.
denim certain so.called Catholic publica-
tons which attack his church.

1t was forwarded from China some time

desire to get the document, as treaty
provisions cannot be proclaimed by

of the affair. The train did not carry
money and if the motive was robbery
it does not appear to have been success
full. The train passed through this city
at a. IN. None Of the passengers

and the other was armed with a piece
Of lead pipe two feet long. The Jew

was hastily opened and the imprisoned
man taken out, nearly exhausted.
