BERLIN, Sept. 6 copyrighted. 1896,
by the United Associated Presses.)-The
conferences which have taken place be-
tween the Car and the Emperor and
their accompanying Russian and Ger
man diplomats, which at first were al
legged to be devoid of anything more
important than mere ceremonial con-
versations, are now reported to have
taken the character of initiating a new
concert of the powers which is to have
bearing of the utmost Importance up
OH the future events in Turkey.
1t is not known definitely who orig
mated the proposal, but it is, however,
a matter of positive knowledge in Ber-
lin that Prince Hohenlohe, the I'M
perial Chancellor, and Count Won Osten-
Sacken, the Russian ambassador to
Germany, are discussing plan the pur-
pose of which is to place the Sultan un-

A LOW-DOWN ACT.
DespiCable Work of a Scoundrel Last
Night.

Some miscreant went about the
streets last night cutting the harness
of horses that he found at various
hitching posts.
In one instance two men got into
their cart at a late hour to go home,
but found after they had started that
the lines had been cut off close to the
hit. One of them crept out on one
Of the shafts, got hold of the bride and
managed to stop the horse before the
animal had discovered that he was
free from restraint.
In another case the harness of
horse attached to a carriage in which
some ladies had been riding was found
cut in several places.
If the rascal who engaged in such
contemplate work should be caught
and his identity established he stands
a good chance of breaking considerable
rock for the county, but he deserves
the whipping post

The row between Herr Leibknecht
and the editorial staff of the 'Vor
waerts" is still unsettled, and as a re-
suit of the trouble the coming Socialist
Congress, which is to be held at Sieb-
lichen, near Gotha, on October 11th, is
likely to be the scene of some lively
personal encounters.
Prince Eitel Frederick, the second son
of the Emperor, who is pursuing his
studies at the Ploen College, was
thrown from his horse a few days ago
and received kick in the leg, which
has obliged the youngster to remain in

1t is reported that General Won
Hahnke, the chief of the Kaiser's mill
tary cabinet, will succeed General Won
Loe to the command of the Branden
burg Marts and the Governorship of
Berlin. This appointment has not yet
been officially announced, but it is All
official fact, proving Hahnke's position
as a favorite of the Emperor that he
has been appointed chief of the Twelfth
Regiment of infantry.
The congress of the Austrian Catho-
lies just held at Salisbury was notable
for the presence of Count Thun, who in
HIS Capacity VI
expressed the wish that the programme
of the congress might be carried out.
This programme includes a declaration
in favor of the restoration of the tens
poral power of the Holy See, and the
Austrian Liberals are in a rage at the
action of Count Thun, believing that a
reapproachment of the Government
with the clerical coalition will become a
question before the Reichsrath at the
opening of the session OF that body
early in October.
The field church service which was
intended to be held at Breslau this
morning was abandoned both on ac-
count of the heavy rain, and because
the Car was fatigued as the result of
yesterdays functions
The few words spoken by the Car in
responding to the EmDerors toast at
the banquet last evening are regarded
in official circles as having been lacking
in warmth, and as a purely perfunctory
recognition of the traditional senti-
ments existing between the imperial
houses of Germany and Russia The
fact, too, that he replied in the French
language instead of the German, with
which he is as familiar as the Kaiser
himself, is construed by the officials as
having been intended as a check to
Germanys aims at closer relations with
Russia.

the use of both gold and silver as standard
money, and to coin both gold and silver
into money of equal intrinsic and ex-
changeable value. That policy had received
the sanction of both Houses of Congress
and had been approved by the Execu-
tive on November l, 1898. There
1t stood and weald stand for
ever. That doctrine has been Endorsed
and upheld by all the great names in
American history from George Washing
ton to Abraham Lincoln. The giants of
other days were all one way on that ques-
ton, just as the people were to-day No
citizen of the United States could be bene-
fitted by the Punishment of silver, its
degradation and destruction, unless he
was the owner and holder of idle money
which he desired to invest in cheap LABOR,
IN property at half its value or to loan it
at usurious rates of interest
In conclusion he declared that the Dem
ocratic party grappled with every ques-
ton which affected the present welfare of
the people.
Gray CD of Delaware argued against
the free-coinage substitute and in favor of
the proposed bond issue. Why, he asked,
should not the treasury notes be perma-
nently retired2 Why not divorce the
Government from the banking business2
and why not provide a measure of value
the most stable that the civilized world
could command?
After speaking for some two hours, Gray
was catechized by George CD OF Missis-
sippi as to his attitude in regard to the
international coinage of silver. Gray ex-
cused himself from going into that ques-
ton, as he said he had sufficiently ex-
pressed his views on that point while the
Senator from Mississippi was enjoying his
nap. Laughter But he declared him
self in favor of relieving the treasury from
its unnatural and obnormal banking func-
tons; of retiring the greenbacks and of
restoring the treasury to its natural and
old-time functions.
Teller (R.) of Colorado denied one of
Gray's contentious that gold had not ap-
preclated in recent wears, and asserted
that the best authorities of the world
agreed that there had been an apprecia-
ton OF gold from 80 to 40 per cent.
Resolutions expressive of regret at the
death of Frederick Reymann, late Repre-
sentatiVe-elect from Illinois, were pre-
sented by Palmer CD of Illinois and
agreed to, and at 5;45 o'clock the Senate
adjourned until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 28.-In the
House to-day Fletcher (R.) of Minnesota
called up and the House passed the bill
granting right of way to the Brainerd and
Northern Minnesota Railroad through the
tions in Minnesota.
A joint resolution was passed author
izing officers and enlisted men of the
army to wear the badge of that organiza-
ton on all occasions of public ceremony.
A spirited colloquy. in which Dockery
CD of Missouri, Richardson CD of Ten
nessee, Stone (R.) of Pennsylvania and
Miles Cd of Maryland participated,
occurred over resolution providing for an
extra employee in the document-room, at
the end of which the resolution was
agreed to.
On motion of Hit (R.) of Illinois the
House went into committee of the whole,
with Grosvenor r. of Ohio in the chair,
and took up the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill. Hit explained the
provisions of the bill, which, as McCreary
CD of Kentucky stated, was with few
necessary conditions the same bill that is
ON the stathte- books for the current year
MeCreary added that in his opinion
every change made in the bill was essen
tial 10 the welfare of the public service,
and that the Committee on Foreign AT
fairs unanimously agreed to the report
The bill was passed with only one amend
ment making the appropriation for the re-
lief and protection of American seamen in
foreign countries apply to those who may
be shipwrecked on the coast of Alaska
On motion of Payne (R.) of New York,
the Senate bill was passed authorizing
the Secretary of State to invite the dele

A Delegation Appears Before the

an Amendment.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2S.-A dele
cation numbering nearly 200 ladies this
morning appeared before the Senate Com
mittee on Woman Suffrage, of which Mr..
Call of Florida is chairman, and some
twenty of them, presidents of as many
State organizations, argued in favor OF
universal suffrage and the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution extending
the voting franchise to the gentler sex.
AT its session this afternoon the National
Woman Suffrage Association adopted reso-
buttons demanding suffrage for all Ameri-
can citizens of the United States-women
and men-upon reasonable conditions, at
tainable by all as right and not as a priv
ilege, and rejoicing in the admission OF
Utah into the Union as third woman.

The resolutions also demand State and
National legislation that mothers shall
have equal custody and control with
fathers over their minor children.
This evenings session closed the

were made by Rev. Anna Howard Shaw,

made by Miss Anthony.

RAILROADS ARE STUBBORN
Will Not Extend Time on the
Tickets to the Grand Army
Encampment.
Knights of Pythias Also Refused a
Low Rate to the Conclave at
Minneapolis.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Jan. 2S.-St. Paul's re-
quest for an extension of the return limit
for Grand Army encampment tickets was
acted upon unfavorablv to-day by the
general passenger agents of the Chicago
ST. Paul lines at the special meeting of the
Western Passenger Association. Com
mander-in-chief Walker was officially in
formed by Chairman Caldweli's letter that
the lines ''were unable to reach an agree
ment providing for any change from the
original limit. The general sentiment of
the interested lines was that proper pro-
lection of their interests made it imprac-
tica bic to grant the desired extension"
Mr.. Caldwell could not say the senti-
ment was unanimous because more than
one of the lines which enter st. Paul
favored compromise of twenty DAYS.
notably the Great Western, which was the
first to commit itself at Louisville to aone-
cent mile rate If the encampment was
taken to st. Paul. This road may still be
the entering wedge for all the roads to
give an extension by giving the required
ten days notice of such intention. The
prospect, however, is darkened by the as
surance given to the Western roads by
the Central Traffic Association roads that
they will not give thirty days extension.
The Grand Army officers are also said to
be handicapped IN their threat to remove
the encampment to Eastern railroad ter
ritory by the definite assurance given by
the Central Traffic, or rather the new Joint
Traffic Association roads that neither a
one-cent rate nor thirty DAYS extension
will be given the e. A R. to hold the en-
campment in Buffalo. The Western off,
Gals say they cannot afford to do more
than they have offered, and that the Grand
Army people are always asking for unrea.
sonable privileges.
The Western passenger agents at their
meeting also took adverse action on the
request of the knights of Pythias to give
them one-cent rate for the conclave to be
held in Minneapolis this year. The manipu-
latlon OF party rates, which threaten to
dissolve the passenger part of the traffic
agreement Of the Chicago-St. Paul lines,
was seriously discussed by the agents at
the same meeting. All voted to instruct
Chairman Caldwell to communicate with
each road to effect unanimous agreement
regarding the solution of the problem.

Planning to Carry Out the Presidents
Financial VieSUs.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2S.-Secre-
tary Carlisle and Senator German have
been in close conference on financial mat
tiers. During the past week the two have
been in almost daily communication.
Rumors are afoat that Senator German
recommends the plan that Secretary Car
Isle once favored, of authorizing the coin
age of all the silver bullion and the
coinage of the seigniorage. This is
coupled with the proposition advocated
by President Cleveland of retiring green
backs and allowing National banks to
issue notes up to the par value of the
bonds held by them. A color of probabiI-
ity is given to these rumors by the fact
that Senator German, chairman of the
Democratic Steering Committee of the
Senate, had been sounding Senators
within the last few days on the probability
of such scheme passing the Senate.
