ELECTION FRAUDS.

They Gan Be Punished Under the State
Laws.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Attornev GEN
eral Olney, speaking today of the state
msnt OF the assistant district attorney at
Kansas City that there was no law by
which election frauds could be punished
in the United States courts, said that,
without speaking as authority, as he
would on carefnl examination of the
statute, he was OF the opinion that the
Kansas City attorney was correct. BY
the act passed by congress- last February
repeating the federal election laws con-
grsss had done away with all election
paraphernalia, 80 far as the United States
courts were concerned, and had taken
away their jurisdiction. At the same
time. there was no doubt in his mind
but state laws we're in existence by vir-
tue OF which election frauds, whether of
registration or of voting. could be pun
ished in tine state courts.
KANSAS Cry, Oct. 26.-Charles Segnr,
the man whom Chairman Olsen OF the
Republican county central committee
wanted to have arrested by the United
States authorities for illegal registration,
is to be prosecuted under state law. He
was arraigned this morning before Jus-
tice Worthen, and at the request of his
attorney the case was continued until
Monday. After receiving word yester-
day that Assistant United States Attor-
ney Draffen had decided that Segar
could not be prosecuted in the United
States court, Mr.. Olsen consulted sev-
eral leaders OF his party, among them an
attorney who advised him to seek justice
in the state courts. As result the at
torney wrote an information which
Olsen filed with Justice Worthen.

BERLIN, Oct. 26.--So many versions
are current tonight of the suddenly pre-.
oipitated crisis that it will he impossi.
BILE to form definite conclusion until

as follows: After the service in

BY both Emerior William and Count
von Caprivi. his majesty gave an audi
ence to the chancellor at the castle at 2
O'Clock. A quarter Of an hour later
Count Eulenburg had conference with
his majesty, and at 80 the emperor re-
ceived the federal ministers. Before
his majesty received theae ministers.
both Caprivi and Eulenburg had re-
signed. The first intimation to the
public of the crisis was the official an
nouncement that the emperor had
postponed his journey to Blsnkenberg.
Any politician who had told in the
morning that such a crisis was pending
would have been laughedat. The great

BERLIN. Oct. 26.-A great stir was
caused in well-informed quarters this
afternoon by the receipt OF telegram
from Cologne giving the substance of an
article in the semi-official Cologne Ga
zette, which stated that Chancellor Ca
privi and Count Eulenburg, president OF
the Pruasian council OF ministers. had
resigned. 1t is known for some time
there has been considerable tension be-
tween the chancellor and Eulenburg,
owing to the formers views In regard to
the measures to be submitted to the
reichstag for the repression OF Socialists.
The chancellor is in favor OF pursuing
moderate policy, while Eulenburg be-
lieves in the adoption of radical meas
ures to obtain the end sought 1t is said
that at the recent meeting of the Prus-
sian council. held to consider the ques-
ton of the repressive measures, q ma
jority of the ministers supported
Caprivi's views, but whether or not this
ia true is greatly q matter of conjecture.
At any rate those who are supposed to
be generally we'll informed as to the sit
uation, place credence in the Cologne
Gazette's statement that both officials
have resigned.
The Gazette adds that the chancellor
rendered his resignation to Emperor
William on Tuesday. but that it was
only accepted at an audience given by
his majesty to Caprivi today.
A rumor Ia in circulation that DR..

is declared on good authority to be un.

1t is now known as fact that Capri

the emperor. The resignation of Eulen-
burg has not yet been accepted. 1t has
been learned that the chancellor re-
signed before meeting of representa-.
tive statesmen Of the federal state, which
was held thig afternoon. This meeting
showed the existence OF great discord
regarding the proposed anti-revolution-
ary bill. Emperor William abandoned
his proposed visit to Blankenburg, for
which place he was to have started to.

trip was announced in the official
Reichssnzeiger without explanation.
The emperor gave an audience to
Caprivi and endesvorsd to induce him

do so. The emperor remained at the

THE COUP DE THEATRE.
Rssignations OF oaprivi and Eulen bur
Both Accepted.

Resig nations OF Osprivi and Eulen burg
Both Accepted.
LONDON. Oct. 2g.-A dispatch to the
Times from Berlin says Emperor Will
liam has accepted the designations of
both Caprivi and Eulenburg. Such a
startling announcement has taken the
political world in Berlin completely
by surprise. That for months past the
chancellor's adversaries had been strain.
ing every nerve to effect his downfall,
was well known, and, though it may
be less generally known, there can be
no doubt that about fortnight ago
they had reason to believe their object
had been attained. But when Caprivl re-
turned from Kieaengen he had once more
access to the emperor, from whom he
he had bsen separated for considera-
Bile time during the summer holidays,
and the situation gradually changed.
He explained his views to the emperor,
and pointed out with 30 much energy
the dangers OF extreme measures for the
repression OF the Socialists, W hich meas
urea might open q fresh era OF internal
conflict, that his arguments, for the time
at Ieast, undoubtedly carried conviction.
Hia friends and opponents are agreed in
stating that his opinions prevailed with
the emperor, and that Eulenburg, the
chief advocate of moro vigorous meas
ures, saw himself abandoned by his own
immediate colleagues in the Prusslan
council.
The Times correspondent gays: ri
have tho best authority for reporting
that as late as Tuesday last the emperor,
during Caprivi's visit to him, gave him
the fullest assurances OF his entire conf
dence and his approval OF the policy
which he, the chancellor. was about to
submit to the leading ministers of the
federal states. specially summoned to
Berlin for that purpose. 1t was only
yesterday that these ministers hold
their conferences under the presidency
of Caprivi. So unanimous was their
approval OF his programme, so entirely
were they unaware of any impending
change, that they disposed OF the busi-
meas in one sitting, and some Of them
left the capital again. either last night
or this morning. Therefore it will be
readily understood that in political cir
clss, whether friendly or unfriendly to
Caprivi, there 10 absolutely no explains
tion for the reasons which led to the
sudden coup dc theatre. and that i'll

sequences.
