GERMAN EMBAssYs INQUIRY.
FOR the Antecedent of Paul Franz de
Rohan.

The imperial German embassy al
Washington addressed a letter to Cover
nor Lord. making inquiry as to the ''rec-
ord and antecedents of the person styling
himself Paul Franz de Rohun, who is
believed by the German authorities to be
identical with the swindler who ap-
peared about two years ago at Tacoma
and Portland, where he styled himself a
bishop, and subsequently, served term
in Jail at Astoria.
It is 80 long ago since the bogus bish-
op operated here that the police
have altogether lost sight of him, and
they are at the present moment in
no position to furnish any Information
concerning this man. beyond that which
is of notorious public record. That he
at some time must have studied for the
Catholic clergy is an indisputable fact,
else he could not have so successfully
imposed on Archbishop Gross and lesser
officials of the Catholic church.
He was man of superior education,

mysterious phase in connection with
his career, when his learning and natu-
Fral attributes are considered, is that his
rascalities were of the petty larceny orr
der, whereas he had all the requisites to
render him successful as a confidence
operator of the highest order.
It is intimated that this bogus priest
belongs to noble German family, and
that at one time be was an officer in the
German army. But what prompted him

Kcountry in the guise OF a priest cannot
be ascertained.
However, the fact that the German
embassy is manifesting go much interest
in the so-called Paul Franz de Rohan
as to institute inquiries respecting him
indicates that he is person of more inn
portance than he appeared to be here
or possibly that Kaiser Wilhelm's au
thorities may have more use for hin
than had the Americans

One of A. NJ. Williams windows is

play of handkerchiefs, while the angel,
the shepherds, and in fact everything in
the window, except the sheep, are neat
ly attired in the same articles. Mr..
Jensen, the artist who arranged the
window, is very original in his ideas,
and he uses them to good advantage.

In the trial of Allen Logan in Dallas
last week, on the charge of numbering
Enoch Sylvester, the head of the dead
man was produced in court. The prose-
cution secured Identification of the grew
some piece of evidence, and showed the
jury fractures in the back part of the
skull sufficient to cause death. The de-
tense, however, produced as witnesses
three of the physicians who had been
present at the post-mortem, and estab-
ished that the careful examination these
physicians had made was with special
reference to establish the fact of whether
or not the blow delivered by Logan had
fracture the skull, and each swore pos
itively that st the rost-mortem no such
fractures were to be found. The head
turned out to be boomerang for the
prosecution, and it probably contributed
to the verdict in Logan's favor.

probably excuse their course on the
ground that the supreme court dec'd
ed tho Soldiers Home vote illegal,
and that Mr.. Mayrath was not enh
tied to the Office, as he was elected by
the home vote; but the supreme court
did not decide on Mr.. Magrath's cleo
ton of two years ago; his Office has
not been declared vacant, and no call
had been made for an election to the
Office he holds.
County Attorney Herzer advised
against the canvass of the vote cast
for Mr.. Kindred, and he is to be COM
mended. County Clerk Lawrence
did not entertain the suggestion from
the ''pinchback" advice that he had q
right to vote on question that had no
legal principle to sustain it, and was
wholly repugnant from an honest and
moral standpoint. That these officers
could not be induced to lend them
selves to questionable and dishonest
partisan scheme, stands much to their
credit and integrity.
The Globe-republican., 1897-11-11

The republican gains in Kansas ex
coed the most sanguine hopes of the
party leaders. The populists made a
most determined fight for the dis
trict judges. They had gerryman
dered the districts, and claimed they
would carry twelve or perhaps all Of
the thirteen districts where election g
were held. To the republicans ii
seemed that to win six Of them would
be great glory. Yet the results prove
that eight, and perhaps ten, of the
districts have gone republican. Out
of the lbs counties the republicans
have elected all the officers in 60,
while in 20 others they divide the
Offices with the fusionists. But
there is hardly a single county in the
state where the republican vote does
not show substantial increase owe,
last year. Plainly the tide of public
sentiment has turned against the
popocracy.
