VIEWS on THE WALTON LAW.
The Sentiment Seems to he Against
Making Any Radical Changes

The subject uppermOst in the discussion
among the members Of the General
Assembly al the Exchange Hotel yester-
day was the Walton election law. and
the prevailing opinion seems to be that
IL will be one OF the first important mea-
sures taken Up by the Legislature. The
consensus Of opinion appears to be
against any radical changes in the law,
but there will doubtless be some changes
in the way Of perfecting the measure.
A number OF the senators and members OF
the House were interviewed on the sub
iect By Dispatch reporters yesterday. and
their expressions are here appended:
Senator Mushbach. OF Alexandra. when
asked his views In regard TO the law
said that the people in his district We're
divided on the subject. or course, he
said. there were some who thought
changes should be made in IT, The law
had worked very satisfactorily In his
section. When asked II IL was probable
that any measure would be enacted in

since then it has not been safe to say
anything derOgatory to the characters

John Aufdemhaus, a thriving hotel
man OF BraddOck, Pa, went to Brazil
in his youth to make his fortune. lie
had not been in that country long be-
fore his money ran out and he found
himself pennilcss and hungry. Slavery
existed in Brazil at that time, and in
a fiji of desperation he sold himself as
a slave for 200 miirels. equivalent to
5000 in United States coin. His dis
position Of himself in this manner
meant that for the balance of his life
he was the property Of another, and
as such could be transferred just the
same as an animal. His master sent
him along with 200 other slaves out
to coffee and fruit plantation. where
he labored along with his fellows.
most OF whom were negroes, and in
return for his labor received what he
could eat and the necessary clothing
and nothing else. Fortunately for the
young man he retained possession OF
his two watches, and, giving one OF
them to the Overscer, was made slave
driver. One day, eight months after
becoming slave, he was sent to the
coast with 100 slaves in his charge
with loads Of fruit, dye woods and
coffee. Arriving at the coast, young
Aufdemhaus found that the vessel TO
which the goods in his care were con-
signed was the same vessel on which
he had come to Brazil, and he lost no
time in explaining his situation to the
captain, who agreed to take him back
provided he could escape. The ves-
sci was to sail in the evening and the
last of the goods had been placed on
board and the slaves were ordered
ashore, and before they had reached
it the big ship had spread her sails
and was scudding homeward, and the
horrors OF the slave pen were left be-
hind.

The Kaiser's Informal Call.

to have received the following story
from Frenchman living in Berlin:
The Emperor William on the morn

resignation became known In Berlin
drove at once at an early hour to the
French embassy. M. Herbette had only
Just got up, and when the illustrious
visitor put in his appearance he had
Just begun to dress. The emperor, who
had to be informed of this. amiably sent
him word that he was not to put himself
out Of the way at all, but to come just
as he was. He consequently appeared
in his dressing gown, and the emperor
jokcd him about his carly rising. But
then the emperor asked seriously what
he thought of the surprising news.

bette. astonished.
why, that from Paris"
Il have not yet opened the kilograms
and know of no important news"
He was horrified when the emperor
told HIM about the resignation and
more so when he found the Paris tele-
grams confirmed 1t. When the en-
peror took his leave, M. Herbette ac-
him. but on opening the door
he started back in fright, for in the
hall were not only some gentlemen, but
several ladies, to whom he could not
possibly present himself In his cos
tune. The emperor smiled and said:

emperor in your dressing gown, but
