PREMIER HOHENsTEIN.
Speech In the Reichsrath Causes
Intense Bitterness I'm Germany.

| BERLIN. Nov. 3O-Intense surprise
by the speech of the Austrian Premier,
Count Won Thun Hohenstein, in the
IReichsrath yesterday, when, in reply to
an Interpolation on the subject OF the
expulsion of Austrians from Prussia,
he said the Austrian Foreign Office had
strongly protested, and would not hes1-
tate energetically to protect the rights
Of Austrians and to adopt retaliatory
measures If necessary.
Papers like the "Vossische Zeitung,"
which opposed the expulsion policy
| from the beginning, are nevertheless
quick to resent in a patriotic outburst
! Won Thun's "hasty and ill-advised
menace"
| Judging from their comments the
matter has grave import.
| The "Vossische Zeitung," noting the
fact that Count Won Thun declared he
had the approval of Count Goluchowski,
the Austro- Hungarian Foreign Minis
| ter, asks whether the Austrian Pre-
mier is preparing the world for dis
solution Of the triple alliance, and whe-
ther his speech was the outcome of the
recent visit to Vienna of the Russian
Foreign Minister, Count Muravieff. 1t
declares that Germany is quite able
to find other alliances" and is even
able to protect herself without alliances,
If necessary"
| The National Zeitung" and the
| "Kreuz Zeitung' both warn Austria
that while there are only 100000 Ger
mans in Austria, there are some 30
1000 Austrians in Germany. They say
Count Won Thun ought to have remem-
bered this before making threats.
| VIENNA, Nov 30-The '.Neu Frere
Presse,'' commenting upon the senti-
ments OF Count Won Thun's recent
speech on the expulsion of Austrians
from Germany, characterizes it as
highly imprudent, unless he desires the
rupture of the alliance.

REBATE ON ALCOHOL.
COUNSEL IN CASE OF DUNLOP
VS.. UNITED STATES
Conclude Their Argument Before
Supreme Court as to Validity Of
Wilson-Gorman Tariff Law.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-The argu-
ment of the case of Robert Dunlop VS..
the United States, involving the valid
ity of the provision Of the Wilson-Gor-
man tariff law authorizing a rebate on
alcohol used in the arts was concluded
in the United States Supreme Court to-
day. Attorney General Griggs appear
ing for the Government and John j. H.
Choate for Dunlop. Sir Louis Davies
and Sir James Winter of the British
American Joint High Commission, oc-
cupied seats inside the bar during the
argument.
Mr.. Griggs said that while the pres
ent case involved only a few thousand
dollars, from $1OOO0,OOO to $4,000, 900
would be affected by its decision. He
contended that the Secretary of the
Treasury, in falling to prescribe regula-
tions. had violated no contract with
Manufactures Dunlop; that Dunlop had
not been Influenced to enter upon busi-
ness by the insertion of the provision,
and that if the rebate had been allow
ed there would have been no reduction
in the price of the manufacturer. He
also said that the Secretary had only
acted SO as to conserve the best inter-
ests of the Government by refusing to
issue the regulations, as it had proved
impossible to carry the law into effect
without an appropriation for the pre-
vention of fraud
Mr.. Choate, in his reply, protested
against consideration of the amount of
liability. He contended that the point
involved had been decided fifteen years
ago in the Campbell case, and said. that
while the court had changed, the law
had not. The provision of the treasury
regulation was merely direction to the
Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr..
Choate insisted that it did not differ
materially from such directions in other
Acts of legislation. Such supreme and
arbitrary power to annul laws, as was
here claimed for the Secretary, was a
new prerogative for the executive,
which had never been successfully as
serted, and, if it was to be conceded in
this instance, there was no reason why
it should not be in ali others. Such a
prerogative was clearly unconstitu-
tional, as the law making power was
conferred exclusively upon Congress.
He declared that the law was con-
tract, and it could not be abrogated by
the voluntary failure of the Govern
ment, the party of the first part, to per-
form the duties assumed by itself In
enacting the law. All that was re-
quired of the Secretary was to do the
best he could, leaving the responsible
ity for the enactment with Congress.

il he had no appropriation. Putting the
boot on the other leg, he mad never

FURTHER PARTICULARS
SPOKANE (Wash), Nov. 3O.-A Nell
son special to the Spokesman Review
gives further particulars of the wreck
of the Ainsworth as follows:
The starboard lifeboat was first
launched. Six passengers sprang into
it and it was swamped. All went down
but Johnson, who divested himself of
his overcoat and got on board again.
The port boat was next launched, but
the maddened Italians jumped in, and
1t was swamped. Four of the Italians
were drowned. The others were saved.
This boat was subsequently righted,
and part of the survivors got into it
and padded two miles to shore. There
a bonfire was lighted, and the boat re-
turned and brought off seven men
clinging to the ropes. A third trip
brought the remainder of the passen-
gers ashore. All the rescued party were
taken to Pilot Bay and the Kakanee
brought them to Nelson.
The Ainsworth is a wreck, half
beached at Crawford Bay. At the time
of the disaster she carried nineteen
passengers and a crew of twelve.

THE CALL TO ARMS.

Guard Tuesday Night.
From Wednesdays Daily

Autsuu1
From Wednesdays Dailyl
Fifteen strokes of the fire alarm, the
signal agreed upon to call the Estey
Guard to the armory in case OF sum-
mons to active service, startled Brattleboro
people last evening, as the first thought was
that the boys were to leave at once. Many
people started toward the armory and it
soon became known that the boys had been
notified to leave here Friday morning at
7:45 on a special train for the state camp
grownd near Fort Ethan Allen.
The call for mobilization was received
by telephone last evening by Major Estey,
from Col. Clark. Major Estey commun-
icated at once With Capt. Haigh, who had
the alarm sounded.
The response was prompt and within
short time practically all the men of the re-
gular company now in town were present.
Thirty eight recruits also reported. OF
the regular members four were out of town:
Ernest Waterman at Middlebury; Walter
Cooley in Guilford; Ahern in Putney;
Boyle in Windsor.
One object of the call last evening was
for a physical examination of the men.
Drs. Webster, Pratt and Gray made the
examinations. The men were put through
the regular army examinations. The
work continued until late hour, but only
one-half of the men were examined. Sew
eral were rejected during the evening on
account of disability. The examination
was continued this morning, beginning at
$50.
Capt Haigh instructed the men in re-
gard to outfits to be carried. He advised
each to carry blanket to be used until
the supplies are distributed at the camp
ground.
The call is for Sc men in a company.
The Estey Guard will take 80 to the camp
ground. There will be another physical
examination there, and the extra men will
fill any vacancies that occur in company
II or the other companies.
Z. j. Henkel will not return to his
studies in the medical department of the
University of Vermont, but will go with
the company as orderly sergeant.
Yesterday was a busy day at the camp
ground. The stores of the state from
Montpelier were unloaded and the work Of
putting up tents is now under way. De-
tails of 20 from company NJ guarded the
stores last night. Gov. Grout has is
sued an order stating that the St.
Adams and Burlington companies will
60 into camp Wednesday; St. Johnsbury
and Newport companies Thursday: Brat
tleboro, Mortified, Montpelier, Bradford
and Barre companies Friday, and Ben
nington, Rutland and Brandon companies
Saturday.

Bad News from Northampton.
County National Bank "A Defaulter and
Has Fled the Country.
From Saturdays Daily


From Saturday Daily
The announcement this morning of the
fight OF Lewis Warner, president of the
Hampshire County National bank at
Northampton, was a surprise to business
men of Brattleboro, many of whom were
acquainted with him. The business inter-
ests of Northampton are deeply stirred,
and the total amount Of funds involved
may be S250,0OO. The National bank has
closed its doors, and the Savings bank, al
though perfectly solvent, requires so days
notice OF depositors.
Probably no one, not even the eXamin-
ers, know the total loss. 1t is stated on
credible authority that Mr.. Warner took
some $4,000 with him, and the general
opinion of those on the inside is that his
defalcation will amount to at least 500, 900.
OF this, SIS, SAT is what the savings bank
will lose directly. The bank is secured by
Mr.. Warmers bond in the surety company
for S25, 900. 1t also has a surplus fund of
$4,000, so the depostors will ultimately
lose nothing.
The populations were brought to light
by Bank Examiner Locke. Mr.. Warner
evidently knew that exposure was coming.
He telephoned to the bank yesterday
forenoon that he was i'll, and disappear
ed during the forenoon. 1t is said that he
drove from the city south with his son,
who returned in the evening.
Mr.. Warner is nearly 60 years old, and
has been connected with the banking bust
ness in Northampton since his youth. He
was the principal owner of the North
ampton Bicycle company, and of the Por-
ter Tool company of Hatfield. He had
been chief of the fire department, county
treasurer, and was man highly esteemed
and universally trusted.
From Mondays Daily
No trace has been found of Lewis War
ner, the fugitive bank president of North
ampton 1t is believed that he went by
| team to Westfield and boarded a train
! there.
Bank Examiner Ever thinks he has
found all the discrepancies, but he will say
nothing as to the amounts. Definite in
formation will be given finally through the
controller of the currency. Mr.. Ever ha;
no knowledge as to the future policy OF
the bank, but he says it is solvent, which
means that the capital stock of S25O,OOC
and the $4,000 surplus will cover thu
losses. 1t is generally believed in North
ampton the loss is about $4,000
Attachments have been placed on tn
Northampton Cycle company and the Hat
field Machine company, in which Mr.
Warner was largely interested, and it
probable tn. insolvency proceedings will
follow.
