KAISER IN GENOA.
The Affairs of the Dreibund Are to
Be Considered

Be Considered.
GENOA, March 24-Emperor William
and Empress Augusta arrived here
this evening on their way to Naples.
Great political interest attaches to this
visit to Italy of the German emperor,
as it has been generally expected that
when he met King Humbert. the Em-
peror Francis Joseph, OF Austria, would
be the guest of the king of Italy at
the same time. 1t is assumed in all
public discussion of the visit that the
subject of the conference between the
three SoVereignS, or in the absence of
the Austrian emperor, between the two,
will be the relations between the three
countries of the dreibund. The results
of the recent visit of Count Golu-
choWslli, the Austro- Hungarian pre-
mier to Berlin were all in favor of the
maintenance of the dreibund. The work
begun there it is expected will be COM
pieted during Emperor Williams stay,
though it is freely surmised that the
German emperor desires some modifi-
cations in the triple bond, which will
leave him freer to place Germany in
accord with Russia in the far East.
The Duke of Genoa, brother of Queen
Margherita, was entrusted with the
duty of welcoming the visiting sover-
eigns. AS a part of the ceremony of
welcome, the duke presented the munic-
ipal authorities of Genoa to the impe-
rial pair, who listened to the addresses
presented to them, and then proceeded
to the quay, the Duke of Genoa escort
ing the Empress and Emperor William
following with their two sons. The
duke bade farewell to the party as they
proceeded on board the imperial yacht
HohenZollern. The emperor cried in
Italian, Live the king" and the Gen
oese responded to the compliment with
tumultuous shouts of Live the kaiser"

ECHOES OF THE BIG HALL.

William Henry Eustis, of Minneapolis, has
frequently been accused of too free exercise
or the untrammeled tongue which the con-
stltutlon grants to an American citizen, and
yesterday was but another incident in the
minds OF some Of the delegates. Carried away
/ with his Mckinley enthusiasm the ex-mayor
declared that the will Of the people would
not be this year, as it had been in the past
thwarted by the bosses in the East which
was peculiarly discourteous to the New York
man who was there, although the eX-mayor
was undoubtedly innocent of any allusion to
GOV. Morton or his candidacy. The break,
however, If such IT. was, was freely comment
ed upon by the Republicans last night, and
severely criticised by many.
Clough men in Minneapolis predict a victory
Tor their champion, and point for confirmation
OF their hopes to the results in last Saturdays
convention, when William D. Washburn seek
ing an empty honor as vindication, was en-
phaucally turned down. The ex-senator
about whose defeat for senatorial re- election
such howl has been raised in the Mill City
received only 40 votes in convention of sew
eial hundred, which the Clough men claim
elther proves that the sentiment against him
is very weak, or else poorly organized, in
+ either of which explanation the Clough men
find much consolation.
E. G. Rogers distinguished himself yester-
day by happy retort. Referring to John L.

could not accept peace after the bat
tie of Adowa. The Marquis Begrotto
said he was confident that the king
would never sign peace that was con-
trary to the honor of the country. The
Marquis di Rudini, the PREMIER replied
on behalf of the government, denying
that the Negus of Abyssinia had de-
manded an indemnity of $4,000, ,OOO The
statement, he added, was an insult to
Italy. The subversive parties in Italy
had come into prominence lately, he
said, but the government was determin-
ed to defend the monarchy.

OF the general officers of the National
W.: e: L. q. today, it was decided not
to hold the next national convention in
San Francisco, although that city had
Deeh previously chosen. 1t was the be-
lief that the holding of the next CON

would better conserve the temperance
interests as a crisis is impending in
that state. The refusal of the rail-

hoped for was another reason. 1t ia
probable that the national convention

ARGUMENTS HEARD.
American Association Matters Are
Again in Court.

The arguments in the American Building
and Loan receivership matter were heard by
Judge Belden yesterday, the attorney general
concluding his argument in favor of the action
taken by the state in placing receiver in
charge of the association.
Capt. Hart was allowed a second hearing in
a reply to certain points made by the attorney
general The captain held that the building
association was operated practically under a
contract between the state and the stockhold-
ers, and hence had no more right than an in
dividual when it came into the forum of the
courts The attorney took the stand at first
that there was no provision in the statutes for
the action taken by the state, but Judge Bel
den promptly cOntradcted that claim and the
speaker obliged to confine himself to the
contract claim.
The state, he claimed could only come in
and interfere when the association was inter
fering with some public right. Since the as
sociation operated under a contract then
the association had no business of its own
members only, and could not interfere with
the public in such a sense that the state could
interfere in the matter.
Attorney General Childs finally asked leave
to amend his complaint which the court will
allow, and the matter will be argued again to-
day. n.. .

A REPLY FILED.
A Point in the Chamber of Com
merce Clearing House Suit.

The plaintiffs in the case of w. o. Dodge &
Co. against the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce have filed their reply to the answer Of
the defendants, which shows that the main
issue in the case will be as to the powers of
the chamber of commerce clearing house.
In the answer defendants set out that the
clearing house was an institution which ad-
justed all the various claims between the mem
bers, carried their trades, and to which was
answerable every member in all the deals.
By this claim, the actions would seem to be
justified beyond doubt, but the plaintiff sets
out in the reply that the statements as to the
powers are not correct, and sets up the direct
issue that the clearing house has no authority
in any matter except that on each night it
makes a settlement of accounts on payments
and adjusts matters in bookkeeping way.
This issue of the suit is the most important
and now that it is shown that the plaintiffs
make such a claim, the action will be watched
with decided interest not only by local grain
dealers, but by those in other cities where
they have in operation the same system.

MISsOURHs JURISDICTION.
1t Extends to tie Rivers Forming
the Boundaries of the State.

KANSAS CITY, MO-, March 24.-An
important decision was handed down
by the court of appeals today, holding
that the state of Missouri has complete
jurisdiction over the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers, where those rivers
form the boundary line of the state, so
that the state would have jurisdiction
over gambling or illegal whisky selling
on boat in those rivers. or any illegal
act done on the rivers. Under this rul-
ing the men who have taken. part in
prize fights on the newly made island
in the river above Kansas City would
he amerable to the Missouri laws and
Missouri officers might interfere and
stop fights there in the future.
