4 WANDERING CONSULATE.
Troubles OF Consul Bouchuein in Coming Int
Hlis Job at Harmon.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-Max Bouchsein OF Chi
cago was appointed last May Consul at Barmen,
Germany. He presented his credentials to Con-
sui Merritt in that city and was told that Mer-
ritt's term did not expire until July /. and that
Merritt would like to serve II out. As this meant
a delay OF only a week or ten days. Bouchsein
consented. On July / he called at the place
where the Consulate had been. The Consulate
had Disappeared.
Some OF the neighbors said that they had seen
Consul Merritt early on that morning move the
goods away toward Elberfeld. n town adjoining
Barmen. Bouchsein found the Consulate and
Merritt holding 1t down in new quarters.
Bouchsein demanded possession. Merritt re-
piled thar Bouchsein was not appointed Consul
at Elberfold, but Consul at Barmen. and that
from July l there was no such thing as q Bar
men Consulate.
In the explanation which followed 1t appeared
that some time last winter Merritt suggested to
the State Department here to move the con-
sulate to Elberreld. The State Department de.
clined. Somehow the Diplomatic and Consular
bill appropriated money for the Consul to Elber-
field, but appropriated no money for the Consul
to Bsrmen. That bill went into effect on July L.
And there you are" concluded Merritt to
tho astounded Bouchsein. who saw before him
visions OF beginning his hunt for office all over
again.
Bouchscin telegraphed to Co~nsulLGeneral
Mason at Frankfort for advice and information
whether his salary would be forthcoming. Mason
cabled the State Department and received word
to tell Bauchsein 10 take possession of tho Con.
sulate. move 1t back to Barnen and not 10 worry
about his salary. Bouchsein proceeded to act
without delay. He looked for trouble. but the
orders were enough for Merritt. who quietly
withdrew. That night Bouchsein rode up to the
old Barmen Consulate on top of the goods and
chattels of the Office. and there, amid the APP
plause of tho neighbors. he hoisted the American
flag, moved in, took possession OF the quarters
and announced himself ready for business. Since
then Merritt has returned to America. and
Bouchsein is holding forth, in regular receipt OF
his salary.

in which five persons were killed and more than
thirty wounded.
President Iglesias was nominated for re-elec-
ton. He was supported by most of tho agri-
cultural population, and opposed by rlany of
the town folks. The Presidents advocacy Of
the gold standard. and his support OF tho scheme
OF building a railroad which has cost nearly
81 900. 600. were among tho causes of the oppo-
sition to him.
There were parades of the rival factions in
San Domingo on the day Of the riot. AS the
paraders passed each other they shouted for
their respective causes and their candidates.
Two men began fighting and noarly all the
paraders Joined in. Knives and pistols were
used, and before the police could stop the riot
three men had been killed and two SO badly
wounded that they died next day.
Among the killed WAS Senior Iamora, one OF
the wealthiest men in Costa Itica. He was hit
by a stray bullet while lie was trying to drag his
sou from among the rioters. President lglcsias
proclaimed himself dictator pending tho result
Of the election. which, Mr.. Williams says, ia
certain to put the President in his old place.

killed outright, Pierce Kendall, a carpenter. of
this town. and q joiner from down in the State

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 5.-The application for a

Gals from enforcing the law passed by the last
Legislature regulating stock yards charges was
decided by Judge Munger in tho Federal Court
this forenoon. The application was granted and

interstate business and cannot be interfered
with by the Legislature. He also holds
that II the business OF the yards is
with the railroads and not with the
general public IL is in The nature of a private
transaction and cannot be interfored with by
the Legislature, and also that under the COnstI.
tuition property cannot be taken or demanded

to get an Endorsement for Judge Van Wyck from

promising frcesilver advocate, and has no

Issue is put in the background. He seems to

date for Mayorf'

could to get possession OF the offices Of New
York. and l do not propose to DO made a party

whether he thinks 1t the duty Of all Democrats

1t is doubtful whether Mr.. Sheehan will hear at
all from Sebraska's Chief Executive. The Gov
ernor said to-day that he is unable to answer
Mr.. Sheehan's inquiry satisfactorily to Mr..
Sheehan. and therefore he would send no answer
unless the Tammany leader should telegraph
again and insist upon hearing from him.. In that
event he would reply in terms that would mako
unpleasant reading for the Van Wyck support
ers.
