Since the emperor has spoken with such
deep indignation of the reichstag's action,
we should not be surprised to learn that

The Daily News correspondent liz Berlin

The emperor's telegram to Bismarck

with parliament, which no longer possess

painful situation is 4 dissolution This
seems to be the secret aim of the conserva-

which is requisite to a modern naval Of
ficer's education.
A recent Washington dispatch said that
Capt. Crossman of the Alliance was at one
time In command Of the Brazilian insur-
gent ship America, which statement was
entirely misleading. inasmuch as the Amer
lea was not an ..insurgent ship in any
sense of the word, but was purchased and
equipped by the regular government Of
Brazil. Capt Crossman was in command
of the America for a short time, and a
United States Naval Academy graduate
who served under him at that time as an
officer of the America recently told me
that people who know Capt. CrossnAn
think that his story is, in the main points,
entirely correct, but that as far as his dis
lance off shore was concerned 1t could not
be definitely known by his methods of
navigation.
Whatever the different opinions of off,
GERS may be as to the right of the Spanish
cruisers to stop vessels inside the three
mile limit, they all agree that there is not
the least probability of any serious trouble
with Spain, and that in case of such trou-
Bile our navy could easily outclass the
Spanish navy in every particular, except
as to torpedo boats. which slight discrep-
ancy we could overcome in other ways.

Street Car Charters.

There is an English law which limits tho
duration Of street car line charters to
twenty-one' years. 1t was passed in 1870.
Many Of the charters are therefore already
expiring. When they expire, the law pro-
vides that the cities through which the
lines run may buy them or lease them and
operate them under municipal authority.
There Is a general movement on the part
of the cities to take possession Of the lines
In Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham.
as well as in a number Of smaller places,
the street car lines are already owned and
operated by the city. In these cities the
results have been all that could be desired

A curious story is told by Vienna cor

tive Of large firm, who carried a large
sum of money with him. recently spent the
night at hotel at Presburg. AS usual, he
remained some time smoking in bed. Sud
denly the burning cigar fell to the floor
He bent over to extinguish it. when he saw
hand projected from under the bed to
put the cigar out. 1t made him very I'M
comfortable. He lay awhile, and then say
ing aloud, How very cold; 1 shall get my
fur coat" he jumped out Of bed, flew to
the door and cried for help. The would-be
robber was caught He confessed he knew
the occupant of the room had money which
he hoped to get while he slept. He had
been a fireman formerly, and could not re-

The news of the attempted assassination
of Ii Hung Chang created much excite
ment at Yokohama. The emperor and
empress will send messenger to Shimono-
sekf to express to the distinguished Chinese
statesman their regrets at the most un-
fortunate occurrence.
Caused n Sensation Here.
The news of the assault on Ii Hung
Chang caused a sensation in diplomatic
circles in this city. Cases where an envoy
OF any kind has been assaulted in the coun-
try to which he is accredited are rare and
thosa IN which peace commissioner is at
tackled are almost unheard of in modern
days. The opinion here is that Japan will
suffer greatly a consequence of the as
sault, and that the position of China will
be SO strengthened that she may be able
TO secure better terms OF peace than she
could otherwise have hoped for
The incident may lead TO the breaking
Off or peace negotiations, which were pro-
ceed'ng so satisfactorily, or at least NAV
postpone further action in this direction
until Japan has guaranteed the safety of
China's envoy and made proper repara-
ton.
The recent parallel case Is the attach
made by Gen. Count Fuentes of the Scan
tsh army on the Moorish ambassador. The
latter was sent to ask Spain 20 grant Mo-
rocco more time for the payment of tho
the Spanish at Melilla. General Fuertes
became enraged at one of the conferences.
and struck the ambassador in the face
with his clenched fist. So seriously did the
Spanish government regard the incident
that Prime Minister Sagasta telagraphed a
full explanation, coupled With expressions
Of profound regret to all the European
courts. Gen. Fuentes barely escaped being
shot, and will probably be confined for life
in one of the fortresses of tho country The
Moorish ambassador took advantage of the
incident to press for further delay and So
cured it with little trouble.

JUDGE PARDEE DECIDES THAT BOWLER IL HOLD

New-Orleans. Dec. H-Two cases of great impor-
tance were decided this morning by Judge Pardee In
the United States Circuit Court. They were test
cases on the consti,ulonGllty of the Sugar Bounty
act Judge Pardees opinion was short but forcible
against the position assumed by Controller Bowler
He holds that the Sugar Bounty act was constitu-
tional and therefore the 1000 900 lying in the
United States Treasury voted for the sugar claims
and awaiting the Controllers pleasure to be dis
tributed to the rghtful owners Is being held ille
gally and should be distributed pro rata among
those for whom It was originally intended.
This does not mean tiral action in the case. as II
will be taken to the Supreme Court OF the United
States. Usually several years elapse before "A case
filed In the higher tribunal can be tried but is said
that the Judges have agreed. under the circun-
stances. to give an immediate hearing 10 the sugar
planters case. and II Is therefore probable that
within a month two the Supreme Court will
pass final judgment on 3owler's contention.
