BARON ARRESTED FOR FORG ERY He Has Long Been Thorn in the Side of His Family.

Berlin, Feb. 9-Baron von Schor- lemer-Alst has been arrested upon the charge of forging bills of exchange aggresating S0,0OO marks. Baron Hu- bert, who has long been thorn in the side of his family, was formerly an officer in the Prussian army, but got into debt and was obliged to flee from Germany in consequence of his con- nection with swindles. He was heard from in New York and Chicago. In the latter place he was a cabman. His relatives cleared off his debts, secured the suppression of the charges against him and brought him home. He then married a rich widow and went to live with her upon her estate in Grossen- helm, SaXony.
 For a while he appeared to be con- ducting himself properly and became an active member of the local conserv- ative association. He spent freely, but as his wife had plenty and it was known he was living upon her bounty, nothing was thought of it. He finally got into debt again, however, and this state of affairs was followed by more serious charges against him. The con servative leaders tried to hush the charges and subscribed 10000 marks to cover fraudulent bills he had uttered. Further investigation, however. show ed that his case was beyond help. whereupon those who had essayed to assist him left him to his fate.

WILL GET DOWN TO WORK
SENATOR QUAY HAS CONFIDENCE
 or PASSAGE OF HIS BILL.
The Monroe Resolution Will Be the Subject To-day of an Address by MT. Smith of Bond Silver Coinage Bill.


 Washington, Feb. 9.-Although the present congress has tbeen in session two months without the customary hol- iday recess, the senate will this week get down to service and begin the con sideration of appropriations. MT. Hans broughs seed resolution is the unfinish- ed business and he expects to nave a vote upon it within a few days, although the unders landing is that it is to be laid aside whenever bills are ready to be considered.
 MT. Quay's amended resolution to re- commit the tariff bill to the senate com mittee on finance without instructions, which was laid over, will come up early. MT. Quay says that while the vote Will be close, he believes it has an even chance of passing. The populists. how ever, at their recent conference decid- ed to vote against recomnlitment and II they do so, together with the entire democratic vote, the resolution will not prevail
 MT. Smith of New Jersey will address the senate tomorrow on the Monroe resolutions. It is believed he will take ground between the ltra-conservatlsm of his colleague, General Sewell, and tue radicalsm of MT. Davis of Minnesota. The fact that MT. Smith has conferred with the president on this subject, and his speech to certain extent is believ- ed to reflect the views of the chief exec utive, will give it interest. MT Blanch- ard of Louisiana will also speak on the same subject Tuesday.
 The effort to change the elective off, cers of the senate may be made during the latter part of the week, but there is more or less conjecture. Meanwhile there is abundant work before the sen- ate in the shape of appropriations, those having ibeen reported being the urgent deficiency, military academy pensions and the consular and diplomatic. h none of these have any additions been made, save in the urgent deficiency bill, to which at the request of the treasury a large amount unprovided for expenses of the department of justice has been inserted
 The house will discuss the bond silver coinage bill until noon Tuesday No tice has been given that a large number of amendments will be offered and it is not certain when a final vote on the senate substitute will be reached. It is hoped that it may be had on Wednes- day. The silver advocates concede that the republican vote in favor of the sub stitute will not be as large as was that given against the bond bill last Decem- Der. It is variously estimated by them from 25 to 40.
 After the financial matter has been disposed of appropriation bills will come to the front. There are two of these the agricultural and military bills, now on the calendar, and the Indian bill is ready for report.

AN Asr0NIsnlNG cHANGE.
German Press TakeS New Move in Re-
 gard to England.


 Berlin, Feb. 9.-Within the past week the officially inspired German press, which formerly had been pounding England in as hard and as violent lan- guage as it could go, has suddenly ceas- ed its boasts, but it cannot be ascer- tained that there has been any change in the course of the policy of Germany except that from some cause generally supposed to be representations on the part of Austria and Italy the emperor has put a check upon German diplo- matic activity in quarters where there have been jealousles upon the part of England based upon the supposition that Germany's attitude was hostile. The debate in the reichstag on Friday upon the naval estimates gave Freiherr Marschal von Blenerstein, minister of foreign affairs, and the members of the reichstag who are in touch with the government an opportunity to make declarations which were decidedly friendly to England the occasion was made most of. Apart from Bierbesteins speech the most notable statement was the declaration of Prince von ArenbeTS, centrist, the president of the colonial society of Germany that at no time had there been reason for the anti-German excitement which had prevailed in England. This utterance was received with applause, in which members of all parties Joined with earnestness.
 These reassuring utterances and their general acceptance have made it almost certain that at the next session when the naval scheme is introduced instead of being opposed will receive the sup port of the majority if framed on the moderate lines indicated on Friday
 The debate has made an astonishing change in the opinions expressed by the leading newspapers. even the opposition admitting an increase of the navy n>sss. :. Sary

CROWDS ARE 4RRIYING.
Trains Send Many People to Fl Paso's
 Fighting Ground.

r1gntinS Grounus
 Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 9-The trains ar irving continue to bring a goodly num- Der of visitors who are to remain during the time set for the fistic carnival. Among others arriving to-day were Ad- jutant General Mabrey of this state, Captains Brooks and Rogers, and ten Texan Rangers. The adjutant general states that he is here for the purpose of seeing that the fights are not brought off in any disputed or undisputed terri tory to which Texas lays claim. Gov ernor Thornton of New Mexico and Gen. eral Mabrey had a conference to-day, and mapped out their line of procedure to keep the fight from coming off in Texas or New Mexico. Governor Thorn ton will return to Sante Fe tomorrow and will request that the troops at Fort Bliss patrol the border.
 The preparations made by the Texas and New Mexico governors will certain ly prevent the carnival from taking place on American soil near this place, if the principals should think of such a thing.
 Fitzsimmons and Maher both state that they are not candidates for the pen1tentldry.
 Notwithstanding the steps taken to keep the fight from being pulled off on Uni.xd States soil, Dan Stuart offers to wager four to one that the fights will come off as scheduled. It is reported that Governor Ahumada of Chihuahua came up to Juarez last evening, but he is mot at home" to newspaper men. 1t is also reported that he has secured leave of absence which covers the time of the carnival, and that his presence here has nothing to do with his guber- material duties
 Stuart manages to keep this entire community guessing as to the point at which he intends to give the battles. A search this morning down the river did not reveal any preparation having been made in that direction for the carnival.

From the effects of the light ming his nervous system was badly shattered and he became an epileptic and finally died Of epilepsy.
