THE EMPEROR OF ETnlPolT.
An Enlightened Prince Who Can Work
and Who Prays Two Hours Daily.

An Enlightened Prince Who Can Work
and Who Prays Two Hours Daily.
! Count Pietro Antonelli, a member of
the Italian parliament, who has spent
several years in Ethiopia and has been
sent many times as Italian ambassador
to Emperor Menelik, has given an in
teresting account of that monarch in a
recent issue of the Riforma of Rome,
says the New York Tribune.
MeneliS, says the count, who was
married to the Princess Taitu in 1883, is
now forty-eight years old. He is man
of medium height and powerful body,
! with dark-brown skin and coarse al
! though not irregular features. He is
not naturally cruel and the signing of
ideath-warrants often makes him sor-
rowful and reflective. He understands
his people and is able to gain their love
and rule them wisely.
Although he now bears the title of
emperor of Ethipoit, commands an
army of one hundred and thirty thou
sand men with sixty thousand guns and
kdisplays at times oriental splendor, he
is not ashamed to subject himself to
physical labor. He saws wood, makes
house models and superintends the con-
struction of buildings. A short time
ago terrible disease carried away
many of the oxen, and Menelilz and his
courtiers used rakes and spades in order
to prepare the fields for the reception
of the seed.
He worked also three months as a
stone-mason on church which he or
dered built not long ago. He under
stands the main facts about railroads
and steamships and the principles of
telegraphy. He would gladly acquaint
his people>with the technical advances
in science and the arts, but his advisers
will not consent to it.
Since the early SOS, adds the count,
Meneliz has kept up his connection
with Europe. In mercantile affairs he
is the equal of experienced tradesmen.
In diplomatic matters he well under
stands the art of prolonging the discus
sion until he has reached decision.
One who has to carry on business with
him must be observant and attentive.
The emperor takes great interest in
European newspapers. He is fond of
talking with Europeans, also, in order
to increase his knowledge of Europe.
He always receives Europeans in
friendly and hattering manner.
As rule the emperor breaks his
nights rest at three o'clock in the
morning: He prays then for two hours.
From five o'clock till seven he dictates
letters to his secretaries. At seven
o'clock he receives his ministers and
visitors of Importance and listens to
their reports of the state of the empire.
He gives his orders for the day after
the reports and makes his appoint
ments. During the day he also finds
time to regulate watches, draw architi-
tectural plans, give medicine to the sick |
and take care of his army. /

WANTFREE SILVER
McLaurin and His New
Party.
ENOUGH OF WALL STREET.
The West and the South to
Unite;
RATHER A BOLD STEP TO TAKE.
Democratic Leaders Do Not Believe
the Move Will Amount to a.
Great Deal.
RATHER A BOLD STEP TO TAKE.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Representa-
tive C0ffeen to-day introduced bill for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
dollars of 4121s grains.
The Presidents veto of the Bland bill
has resulted in proposition for national
convention for the West and South to form
new political party based On the demand
for the free coinage of silver. The propo-
sltion comes from certain radical Demo-
cratic congressman who believe the time
has arrived when the party's salvation in
the West and South demands that it
should repudiate once and forever Eastern
domination on financial policies. Western
and Southern Democrats who are at the
head OF this movement declare that the
veto of the Bland ,bilF shows that the ad-
ministration has set its face toward the
single gold standard.
Representative McLaurin of South Caro-
lima has taken the bold initiative step. He
has prepared the proposition and it will be
followed. he says. by a, call signed by
Dem ocratc silver Congress smen. Mr.. Nc
Laurin SAYS he has talked with many OF
the Southern and Western members of
Congress and he had yet to find a single
Democrat who has not agreed with him
that the time has come when Eastern
financial ideas must be repadiated.
First, he says. it was thought this move-
ment must take the form of a convention
of Governors of the States interested, but
they were so widely separated geographic
cally it was feared united action could not
be obtained. 1t was therefore decided TO
call a national convention. He said that in
the fight he believed was to follow the
dividing line would be the Allegheny
Mountains and the Potomac River-the
South and West against the East. Party
lines would not necessarily be drawn.
Mem berS of all parties would be invited.
The issue would solely be a monetary. one.
Representative Tracey of New York 3D.,
the anti-silver leader of the House, says of
the proposed convention: sit is Ttle-or-
ruin proposition. which cannot prove
effective. 1t will simply strengthen the
admin istration. 1t would be queer spec
tacle to see the South reject the alliance
of New York. The interest of the South
depends upon her ability to- Cooperate
with the Democratic States of the North.
Even ii such movement proved effective
it could only result in dividing the Demo-
cratic vote in the North and giving the
Northern States to the Republicans. The
South will not jeopardize its own interest
by carrying such movement very far"
Representative Bland said the plan had
not yet been submitted to him. He was
inclined to regard it as chmerical. but said
the Democrats of the South and West
would never be again sold. They would
put none but tried and true silver men on
guard hereafter.
A careful inquiry among other Demo-
cratic Congressman indicates that very few
are now prepared to join McLaurin's new
party. Most of them say the movement
will result in nothing important.

Northern Pacific Company demurred to
the answer of the Unon Trust Company
as being insufficient to prevent tie allow
ance of said receivers receipts. but the
court overruled the demurrer and by its
decision practically eliminated altogether
about $1,000 600 from the case and allowing
the petitioners thirty days to amend the
petition as to the balance of the claims.
The court in its decision intimated very
strongly that much stronger equities than
those already shown mad to be exhibited
to justify the court in giving any relief

Dismissal of the Charge Against
Johnson and Smith.
Los ANGELES, March 31.-Alva johnson
and George Smith. the men on examira alton
for the past two days on the charge of
having held up and robbed the Southern
Pacific train at Roscoe on February 10,
were discharged by Judge Bartholomew
this morning, after the evidence was in on
both sides.
At the announcement of the Judges de-
cision the greatest applause ensued. Both
men were surrounded by crowds and their
hands were nearly shaken off. The fact
that the brothers of johnson tried to rail-
road him to the pendent ary simply be-
cause he defeated them in litigation over
water-rights made the sentiment of the
community very strong in favor of both
defendants. Johnson's wife and five chill
dren were in court to-day, and at the rem
dition of the verdict wept for joy, and all
tried to embrace their father al once. /.
The witnesses who were on yesterday
were recalled and failed to identify the
defendants as the men they saw On the
night of the train robbery. Many train
hands testified that defendants were not
the men who ordered them about during
the robbery. johnson proved that he was
at home asleep at the hour the robbery
was committed. Smith also proved the
same. Both men were given the most ex-
cellent regulations by the very best citi-

Claims a Victory.
General Manager Dickinson VIII
Probably Have to Unravel the
Union Pacific TangIe.

DENVER, March 31.a- Ex-Governor
Evans told an Associated Press reporter
fortnight that the Union Pacific people are
wrong when they report the decision of
Judges Caldwell and Sanborn of the
United States Circuit Court at Omaha as
against the Gulf road He said: 1.-THE
principles laid down by the court are IN
doubtedly correct. The dispute between
the receivers as TO the payment due for the
use of Julesburg cutoff are referred to the
receivers of the respective roads for an
equitable adjustment. In case they can
not.eagree the court will decide. The
Union Pacific cannot afford not to use this
line. and officers of the Northwestern say
their road would object to their business
being hauled by way of Cheyenne. The
Julesburg line was built by the Union
Pacific in order to shorten its line to Den
yer and its abandonment would undoubt-
eddy give the other Eastern lines great
advantage for Colorado business. The
questions of the use of shops and yards
are Of minor Importance compared with
the segregation of the two properties and
the court directs their adjustment In like
manner. which is eminently just and fair,
The Governor says his suit, in which
Mr.. Trumbull acts as receiver, was not
only recognized. but the segregation of
the Gulf property and its Independent
operation also. The hope Of the Union
Pacific people that the Gulf road would
ever be reoTganized into the Union Pacific
system. which its attorneys claim is only
desired to suppress competition. is effect
ually blighted.
OMAHA. March Sit is stated on
credible authority that Judge Caldwell
contemplates adding General Manager
Dickinson OF the Union Pacific to the list
of receivers.
Yesterday after court had adjourned
Judge Caldwell inquired as to the practi-
cal qualifications of the receivers. On
being informed that neither was qualified
to succeed President Clark during his
absence the court paid Dickinson very
high compliment and intimated that he
would be made managing receiver.
George w. Vrooman, chairman of the
central grievance committee of the Union
Pacific system and of the Brotherhood of
Engineers, testified in the wage hearing
in the United States court to-day. He
endeav0red 10 show the justice Of the
present schedule and the injustice of the
proposed schedules. He assured the
court, whatever its decision, the men
would abide by it and not strike. At the
con clusion of his testimony the court adj
journed till Monday.

the action taken by Secretary Hoke
Smith, who decided not to abolish the
New York warehouse but maintain two,
with locations convenient to both Western
and Eastern bidders. The competition re-
