WOLFF AND HIS DOG.
The Latter Seems 10 Have Been the Better
Ruler In the Position.

Berlin. Aug. 19.-Herr Eugene 8. Violin
the well-known German explorer. who
has just returned from China. where he
acted as correspondent of the Tageblatt.
Is being prosecuted upon Il charge of hav-
ing without authority assumed the role
of judge and with having liberated IL
Chinese murderers of German mission
aries.
According to the evidence of Bishop
Amer. on which the prosecution is based.
Herr Wolff. having heard of the trial. APP
peared in court with dog named Schus-
ter. Four vacant chairs stood in the hall
seated himself in the most Imposing of
these. saying:
I'm take the highest. and you. Herr
Schuster. addressing the dog) will take
the second highest at my right. He then
ordered the clerk of the court into the
next chair at his right, and lastly. with
a gesture, bade the wondering mandarin
to take the fourth and lowest chair.
The mandarin questioned VOLTS au-
thority, whereupon the latter drew roll
of papers from his pocket and flourished
it as his authority. and the prisoners be-
ing introduced and declaring their inno-
cence, Herr Wolf sOlemnly acquitted
them and declared the proceedings ended.
He then saddled his horse and departed.
The story causes the utmost astonish-
ment. Bishop Amer was in Germany at
the time of the alleged occurrence. con-
suting the government in regard to the
murders which ultimately led to the
occupations of kiaos Chou. and only
learned Of what haa happened on return
ing to China.
1t appears that Herr Wolff often poseu
in China as a German envoy.

copies of sworn testimony in specific
cases from Representative Benjamin
F. Hamilton. Frank Irish. Frank EN-

These charges have created great
sensation among the citizens, and 1t is
expected that the commissioners will
grant hearing to the petitioners, al
though they declined to make a state
ment. tonight.
The allegations made against City
Marshal Harmon are that he has pros
tituted the police department for DO
litical ends to such an extent that
strife and disorganization has follow
ed with disgrace to the Republican
party: that caucuses are not respect
able gatherings; that he permitted IL
quor selling and neglected to enforce
the prohibitory law so that our good
