New YORK, Feb. 2i.-Six years inn
prisonment in Sing Sing prison was
the sentence passed Monday upon John
Y McKane, the once great boss OF
Gravesend and Sheepshead Bay.

have never done any thing TO anyone as far as
know. never did anything directly CT indi
rectly wrong with regard TO the election nor
did ever counsel anyone else to do anything
wrong. again say that am not guilty of any
ofense against the law"
Supreme Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen just

an order for the prosecution to show
cause before himself at special term
Friday morning why a certificate of
reasonable doubt should not be issued
upon which a motion for a new trial in
the McKane case may be favorably en-
tertained. The order was coupled with
a stay of the execution of McKane's
six years sentence until decision is
rendered in the present application.

RETURNED THE VISIT.

Emperor william Calls on Prince Bis
marck at Friedrichsruhe.
FREDERICKSBURG, Feb 2L-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
y 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 aud approached
Prince Bismarck, who wore the
cuirassier uniform, with helmet, and
the gray uniform cloak recently pre-
scented 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 dotted the
garment just previous to greeting the
emperor. The emperor and Prince Bis
marck then walked to the castle OF
Friedrichsruhe. followed by the en-
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 were laid.
Neither Count Herbert nor William
Bismarck was present The emperor
sat between Prince and Princess Bis
marck. After dinner all conversed cor
dially, the prince and emperor smolS-
ing.
At Q 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 was
incessant and the emperor repeatedly
saluted.
Returning home Prince Bismarck
was almost carried off his feet by nj:
excited admirers, who crowded around
him, and the crush became so great
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 a long time past
The reconciliation is now complete
and Bismarck's influence will soon be
felt again. But he never again will be
chancellor, although he could be to
morrow IL he wished to. The emperor
will probably create an entirely new
office for him at an early date.
