speech from the emperor is expected
at the unveiling. In Berlin there will
be divine service in the open air near
the Schloss, in the presence of the en-
peror and there will be an enormous
parade in the afternoon. in which 20,-
600 veterans from all parts of Germany
will take part.
A number of German army officers,
including representatives of the war
department, by invitation of a repre-
sentative of the Maxim. company, at
tended an extensive test in the Hosen-
zaide district of quick-firing guns of
a new pattern. The excellence of the
guns was admitted, but it was pointed
out that there would be difficulty in
getting sufficient ammunition to the
spot to serve them, and this difficulty
was looked upon as insurmountable.
Besides 1t would cost 200,000,000 marks
to equip the German army with the
new Maxim. and until France or Rus
sia adopts a field gun vastly superior
to the present weapons in use, Ger
many will retain the guns she has at
present although it is admitted that
they are too slow.
Prof Conrad, the noted economist,
speaking on the currency question at
Halle, said that nobody could foretell
how the situation would develop in
America If the silver standard should
be introduced there at the same time
as an increase in the protective tar
iff. Europe, he added, would be flooded
with American cereals without the
chance of exporting products to Am
erica, and the only one preventive
was, in his opinion, to establish a pam
European tariff league. This, Prof. Con-
rad also said, was only a question Of
time, and must come eventually.

Death Reveals the Fact a Brave Sol
der Was of the Other Sex.
ATCHISON, Kan, April 25.-The recent
death and burial of Otto Schaeffer unlocked
as romantic secret as was ever divulged in
song or story. His death was a tragedy
killed by lightning while at prayer-and his
funeral was marked by an incident peculiarly
dramatic, and which his friends regard as
a prophecy of something beyond the grave
He was buried by the Grand Army boys dur
ing lull in an awful storm. By accident,
doubtless, one of the guns of the little squad
of comrades who fired the last salute over
his body was loaded with ball. as well as
with powder. The ball struck pigeon.

yet uncovered coffin, just lowered to the bot
tom Of the grave. 1t was left there and COW
cred with the same damp earth beneath
which Otto sleeps the eternal sleep. Otto
had been a soldier in the civil war. He en-
listed early and fought to the finish partic-
ipating in some of the biggest and bloodiest
battles of the war. He never received a
scratch, but his bravery and soldierly-bear-
ing won for him the respect and friendship
of officers and men alike. He was mustered
out at San Antonio. Tex, in 1866. After the
war and until his death, he followed the
calling Of a Kansas farmer. He was with
out family and lived alone in a comfortable
little house on his farm, but he was not un-
sociable and was well thought of by his
neighbors. The revelation that his death
made to Coroner Harouff, who prepared the
body for burial, was that Otto Schaeffer was
a woman.

The Importance of the examination they
had been undergoing was such as to cause
great nervous tension and fatigue. They did

rooms, which were adjoining, the door be-

home market? If this is destroyed so that
our great factories and industries are unable
to dispose of their productions, must they not
shut down and throw labor out of employ
ment? Is not that exactly what has hap
pened in this country?
''As the laborer prospers most when there is
large demand for the articles he creates.
does it not necessarily follow that, until
there is rise in prices, so that the debtor
class and the producing class can again do
large miscellaneous buying, there is no hope
for the laborer? 7Ys laaa7tsgs-.
AS there cannot be general rise in
prices without increased volume of cur
rency, must not the present paralysis and
stagnation continue in the world until the
volume of money is again restored to what it
was before silver was stricken down? There
are in the United States over 5000 banks, in
Guiding national, state and private. The
comptroller of the currency, one of Mr.. Car
isles assistants, received reports from these
banks. showing the total amount of money
OF every kind that each bank had on July IL
1895. From this report, it appears that there
were in round numbers only s127, ,OeO, 900 of
gold in all of the banks of the United States.
This was all of the available gold in this
country. There were about $1OO, 900, 900 in the
treasury at that time, but this is not avail
able. Mr.. Carlisle did not refer to those
hgures, which are known to be accurate In
stead he cited the figures given out by the
director of the mint, also one of his assis-
tants, in which it is claimed that there are
about $500, 900 000O of gold in this country.
Mr. Carlisle must know that these figures are
incorrect and that the tables given out by
the director Of the mint on this point are
worthless, because it appears from his report
for 1892, that he assumes that every dollar
put in circulation since 1872 in this country
is still in circulation, except where record
was made of its expectation, and that he has
made no allowance for the money that was
carried over the northern boundary and our
southern boundary for twenty-four years, nor
for the money carried back by Chinese during
that time. nor for gold coin used in the arts
and not reported during that time, nor for all
that was lost nor for all that was carried
across the ocean in the pockets of our peo-
pie during all those years. Yet the director
says in his report of 1884, that during the
Paris exposition, the total sum spent by our
people abroad in one year was over $50, ,000, 900.
Why does Mr.. Carlisle use figures that he
knows are incorrect and are manifestIy given
out only for the purpose of misleading the
American people on the question as to the
amount of money they have in circulation?''

ST. JOSEPH. Mich, April 25.-Near the

amount OF Chicora wreckage has been found.

there was nothing but dead sea coming

wreckage could not have travelled far. Wreck
age would come to the top Just as soon as 1t
was torn loose. and this is fresh wreckage,
as the spikes were freshly torn from the
vessel. 1t may yet transpire that the people
who said they heard the Chicera's whistle
southwest of this city in that terrible night,
did not draw on their imaginations. The tug

that the retirements and promotions

CHICAGO, Nov. 5-Chairman Jones OF

saws he will not concede victory to Nc

show it. The early reports received at

conceded the states OF West Virginia

democratic headquarters have no hopes
of carving the election without them.
At 10 a. m. Mr.. Jones received tele-
gram from J. j. Dwyer, national COM
mitteeman at San Francisco, saying
that California would give Bryan a
small majority. At republican head
quarters the state is claimed by safe
nlurality. as are also the two Dakotas.
While Chairman Jones will not reliD-
ouish his claims on Kentucky, the re-
nublicans claim the state BY maJorl-

Our Present Attitude Toward Hawaii
May be Reversed, While Little, II
Any, Change Toward Cuba is to
Be Looked For

WASHINGTON. Nov. SIN Its bearing
on the international relations of the
United States, McKinley's election is
considered important as insuring
stability Of policy hardly to
be looked for in case men new
in questions OF foreign affairs
had been swept into executive power.
The public men who will naturally
be in the front rank Of the forth
coming administration are known
quantities, and there Is general conf
dence that their attitude to the rest Of
the world will not essentially diverge
from the long-established course of
those who have been most prominent
in McKinley's support, and who
are, therefore, relied upon to be
his closest advisers. The most marked
departure anticipated from President
Cleveland's external policy relates to
Hawaii. Not the slightest doubt exists
that the next secretary OF state will
be in complete harmony with Pres
ident Harrison In this matter,
as Mr.. Mckinley was we'll known
to have been. The only reversal
Of policy looked for is that which must
result from the customs tariff revision
demanded by the imperative necessity
OF Increasing the revenue immediately
after the 4th OF March The
reciprocity arrangements abrogated
without warning by the Wilson-Gor-
man bill are regarded rs sure Of
resuscitation at the earliest possible
moment, and 1t Is not thought

mating duties. In tho Turkish and

In Turkey have been practically un.
