REICHSRATH WRATHY.
Opening Session of the Inter Haus
Decidedly Stormy.


VIENNA, Sept 23-Premier Badeni, upon
the reassembling of the reichsrath today,
opened the Inter Haus amid hostile demon
group, which is a section of the German op-
position. The premier called for cheers Tor
the emperor and Herr Schooner shouted,
'Hoch for the German people, The cheers
asked for by Herr Schooner were voclferousIy
given by the German left A member asked
if it was true that there were sixteen police
men, dressed as attendants, in the inter
Haus. The question caused a great uproar.
Dr. Kathruin, of the opposition, was elected
being taken, and amid incssant tumult and
violent alterations between the Bohemian
Germans and the Young CZechs.
DR.. Katherin, while endeavoring to make
speech, had his voice drowned by passionate
Intersections. Finally he called for cheers
for Emperor Francis Joseph and they were
given with enthusiasm. DR.. Pergelt pro-
tested against the election of DR.. Katherin
president of the Inter Haus, and moved
was lost by a vote of 1876 to 103.
A series of motions were offered, aiming
at the Impeachment of the ministers. The
German popular party demands the impeach-
ment of Count Badeni because of the con-
duct of the representatives of the government
at public meetings. The German Radicals
and the Schoenerer group want him i'm
peached for prohibiting meeting of German
Bohemians at Egar, Bohemia, and they call
minister of justice, DR.. Bilinski, minister of
finance, and Baron CLAM d'Eicha, minister
of commerce, for an alleged violation of their
ministerial powers by the issuance of a
decree authorizing the official use of the
Czech language in Bohemia.

LOGGING CASE GOES TO JURY.
Governments Contentious OatIined
by Attorney Stryker.

by Attorney Stryker.
The arguments in the case of the United
States government against the Pine River
Logging and Improvement company, which
has been before the federal court for the
past two weeks, were finished and the case
sent to the jury. w. H. Bennett concluded the
argument for the defense and most of the day
was taken up by J. E. Stryker, special coun-
sci for the government in prosecuting the
governments side of the case. He contended
that the custom of lumbermen in cutting their
own stumpage, on private land, could not
be applied as a test as to what was dead and
fallen timber The fact that in such private
logging it was customary to cut all the
pine standing upon tract, II 70 per cent OF
it had been injured by fire, did not author
ize a logger on an Indian reservation, under
a permit to cut dead and fallen timber, to
cut 70 per cent of living trees. The cutting
of such green pine was prohibited by statute
1t being admitted that defendants, z. A.
Smith & William L.. Bassett, were in all the
camps and cuttings during the logging sea-
son, they must be presumed to have seen what
they had opportunity to see, namely that
living trees in great numbers were being cut,
and that all the rules prescribed by the presl-
dent were being violated
The only testimony offered to contradict the
evidence of over sixty witnesses for the gov
eminent to the effect that the timber had been
Illegally cut, was the word of the defendants
and two or three of their agents that when
in the cutting they did not see live trees cut.
If the defendants had taken living trees
cut in the reservation under the crcum
stances disclosed by the evidence, the con-
version was willful, the title to the logs had
not passed from the United States, and plain
tiff was entitled to full value of the logs
without allowance to the defendants for work
which they had procured in the cutting, haul
ing and booming of the timber.
The witness Pratt, who had sought to i'm
peach of the governments witnesses,
had admitted that he used bottle of whisky
instead of ink in securing the statements of
the witnesses. The jury could draw its own
conclusions as to the methods of defendants
in preparing their case.
Defendants posed as benefactors of the In
dams. and expected the jury to believe phil
anthrophy and not profit had induced them to
cut the pine. Yet they had supplied the
loggers with provisions at a maximum profit,
had discounted their checks at 10 per cent
for cash and had sent white man to do the
work of an Indian wherever that pos
sible Just where the Indians were bene-
fitted was not apparent. 1t not claimed
that John c. Pillsbury knew what class of
trees cut. but he had a partner, G.
A. Smith. and must suffer for that partners
deeds.

NEW STUDENTS AT THE U.
Further Advanced Than Those
Seeking Admission in Former

President Northrop and other members of
the faculty at the university express no small
degree of satisfaction at the class of students
who are seeking admission to the professional
departments of the institution this year. 1t
is better than ever before, and the faculty
members feel that their efforts to elevate
the standard of scholarship in the professional
departments are meeting with success. The
number Of high school diplomas presented
by candidates this fall is considerably in
excess Of anything known heretofore.
In the opening address to the students in
the college of dentistry this morning Presi-
dent Northrup spoke with pride of the marked
Improvement, and also dwet on the increased
facilities for thorough work in the depart
ment which will result from the lengthen-
ing of the course from two to three years.
Dean Pattee, of the law department. has
observed the same increase in the number
of high school graduates who are at the uni
versity for the purpose of taking law course
In the medical department the requirements
are more rigid this year than ever before and
1t is the intention of tn faculty to increase
them year by year until they correspond
to the academic department. This is fol-
lowing out the conditions of an agreement
with the medical department of Hamline by
which the requirements for admission to both
colleges are made the same.
The annual university lawn tennis tourney
will be held next week, beginning Monday
1t is expected that large number of stu
dents will enter. The games will probably
be played On the Park avenue courts.

The faculty will be confined to a few, and
they will be called xylopes, if the French
professor has his way about it. To these
xylopes the French scientist says that love-
ly women will appear as skeletons covered
with gelatinous sort of matter.
What value will the human form then
have? There will be no roses, no dimples,
no pretty curves. Grace will be typifed by
bones-ugly, horrid bones. Laughter will be
ossified, tears will be invisible, weeping
mere rafting of the teeth. The streets
would be filled with the horror of lipless, lid
less, hairless crowds. The terror of pervious
clothes would vanish. Modesty would assume
new forms and phases. Or perhaps we would
go back to medieval days-to the suits of
armor-and go about the streets clanking
and unhappy.

PLANNING THEIR BATTLE.
Fight Against De Armitt Mines to
he Kept Up.

PITTSBURG, PA, Sept. 23..M. D.
Ratchford, national president of the
Mine Workers union has been in con-
sultation with the executive committee
of that organization all day, discussing
ways and means for carrying on the
fight against the New York & Cleve-
land Gas Coal company. Nothing def
mite was decided beyond the fact that
the struggle will be kept up. Further
meetings will be required to arrange
details
President Ratchford, who expects to
remain for a day or two said tonight
that the United Mine Workers would
not send a delegate to the convention
in Chicago Sept. q. The mine workers
organization, he says, belongs to the
Federation of Labor, and as the eXecuN
tive officers of the federation had de-
cided against the Chicago convention.
the miners could not consistently send
talegates. He said further that the
Chicago convention was an outgrowth
of the st. Louis convention, where the
delegates had gone outside of their
legitimate duty and passed resolu-
lions not generally Endorsed by labor
unions, and he is inclined to believe
the Chicago convention will follow the
same lines.

SAILORS SUICIDE.
Tragedy on Board the Man-of-War
Philadelphia.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2s.--The steamship
Moana from Sydney, via Honolulu, arrived this
morning with the following Hawaiian advices:
Wolf, a seaman on board the Philadelphia,
brig. committed suicide on the 24th by hang
ing himself with his hammock pc lathing. The
ing when the corporal went in to inspect
the cell Wolf was ashore and drinking DR. Xxi heav,
ship Glade and lay down in the forecastle.
He created such disturbance there that the
sailors drove him out and chased him through
the streets, threatening to use violence if they
caught him. The matter was reported the
next morning to Capt. Dyer, of the Philadel-
phia, who started an investigation. The cap
tain of the Glade being anxious to go to
sea, refused to prosecute Wolf in the local
courts. Capt. Dyer, however, found that Wolf
was guilty of disorderly conduct and bring
ing disgrace upon the ship and sentenced him
to five days solitary confinement on bread
and water, at the same time reducing his
rating from first to fourth class. Capt Dyer
believes that the man was insane. The dead
man was an Austrian by birth and about So
years old.

sTRUBLE's SUICIDE.
People of Shepherd Unwilling to
Accent the Theory.

SHEPHERD, Mich, Sept. 23.-The Struble
inquest will in all likelihood be concluded to-
morrow. The vigorous efforts of the attorneys
for the Struble family to establish theory
of murder will probably fail, all inquiries
been nonproducttve. Detective Mccarthy, of
the O'Neil detective agency, of Detroit, was
the principal witness today. He explained
a theory that some friends of Cashier Struble
was with him in the bank on the night pre-
ceding the tragedy and helped him carry away
the books and dispose of his private papers.
Mr. Mccarthy had nothing to substantiate
this theory, however. Citizens of this COM
munity have an idea that the prosecuting
officers are endeavoring to shield persons sus-
pected of Struble's murder by working UP
theory of suicide. Much adverse criticism
is expressed and there is some talk of an
indignation meeting.

Virginia your little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the skepticism
of a skeptical age. They do not believe ex-
cept they see. They think that nothing can
be which is not comprehensive by their
little minds. All minds Virginia, whether
they be mems or chiidren's, are little. In
this great universe of ours man is mere
insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared
with the boundless world about him, rs
measured by the intelligence capable OF
grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He
exists as certainly as love and generosity
and devotion exist and you know that they
abound and give to your life its highest
beauty and joy. Alasi how dreary would be
the world if there were no Santa Claus. 1t
would be as dreary as If there were no
Virginias. There would be no childlike faith
then, no poetry, nc romance 10 make toler-
able this existence. We should have no Ell
joyment except in sense and sight. The
eternal light with which childhood fills the
world would be extinguished.
as well not believe in fairies You might
get your papa to hire men to watch in all
the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch
Santa Claus, but even if they did not see
Santa Claus coming down, what would that
prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus. but that
is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The
most real things in the world are those that
neither children nor men can see. Did you
ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? OF
course not but that's no proof that they
are not there Nobody can conceive or
imagine all the wonders there are unseen
and unseeable in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle and
see what makes the noise inside, but there
is a veil covering the unseen world which
not the strongest man, nor even the united
strength Of all the strongest men that ever
poetry, love, romance, can push aside that
curtain and view and picture the supernal
beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? All
Virginia in all this world there is nothing
else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and
he lives forever. A thousand years from
now, Virginia, nay. ten times ten thousand
years from now, he will continue to make
glad the heart of childhood.
