WERE ACQUITTED
GERMAN MOBILES WHO FIGURED IN

Many Millions of Marks Changed

BERLIN. Oct. H-Bruno Won Kayser, a
government official; Herman Won Kroscher,
son of Gen Won Kroscher, commander Of
an army corps. and an intimate adviser Of
Emperor william, and Paul Won Schach-
meier, three of the defedants in the trial
which began in this city Oct. 3, of persons
charged with gambling at the Club Der
Harmlosen. have been acquitted.
TIL long deferred trial of the persons
charged with gambling at the Club Der
Harmlosen caused a sensation from the very
beginning of the action in Berlin in the
early part of the present month. A number
Of important witnesses. belonging to the
highest German circles, were reported to
nave fled the country or to be otherwise be-
yond the reach of the court. Those present
demonstrate a bad state OF affairs in the
club management 1t was reported that
100000 marks had been lost within the
short period of the clubs existence. 1t was
alleged hat Won kayser and Won Schach-
meier, in the course of Il single evening,
won 100, 00 marks each, and that Won Kro-
scher won 1000 marks. 1t was said that
Count Egloffsteir. Count Stoch and Count
Dohna lost from $1,000 to 10000 marks each.
Somc of the testimony showed unmistak-
able use of doctored cards on several oc-
casions. A peculiar feature of the case was
that some of the witnesses belonged to the
immediate encourage of Emperor William.
Moreover, officers of garrisons, all over the
empire, and many who belonged to the
guard regiments, were implicated, as we'll
as men of the highest fashion, like Count
Won Kussereon, the bank holder, was said
to have fled to the United States.

POSSIBILITY OF DISASTER
VAGUE BUT DISQUIETING FOREBOD-
INGs ABOUT THE SENATOR.
Transport Left Yokohama i'm the
Teeth of n Typhoon-Wfeckage Is
Seen I'm the Path of the storm.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. 21.-The
transport Senator, having on board the
Fifty-frst Iowa Volunteers and other SOL
diers, to the number of loo, should reach
San Francisco within two or three days,
unless 1t suffered a serious accident in the
typhoon which struck 1t soon after it left
Yokohama, on Oct. 6. News of a disquiet-
ing sort Is brought by Col. Charles DENLY
and Prof. Dean Worcester. the remaining
members of the Philippines commission,
who are returning, post haste, TO Washing
ton. These men saw wreckage in the swell
OF the typhoon that crossed the track of
the Senator. They saw the storm, and
were caught in the edge of II. Their own
boat, the Empress of Japan. a ship ac-
counted far Stancher than the Senator,
suffered damage from the half-spent force
of its gale. The sailors said they believed
the Senator was in the midst Of the ty-
phoon. The next day a lifeboat and a spar
were seen floating on the frothy sea over
which the typhoon had swept. II certainly
should not wish to cause needless alarm"
said Colonel DENLY, but / am forced to
admit there Is cause for some apprehension
for the fate Of the Senator. 1t would not
be well to say at this time the transport is
lost, for that would perhaps cause needless
anguish to the friends and relatives of
those aboard, but 1t is we'll the meager
truth we know should be made public"
The date of sailing from Yokohama was
set for Oct. 6, but in the meantime word
was received from the Manila observatory
that a typhoon was moving northward, and
would pass near the japanese coast. Many
of the American colony urged the captain
not to take the Senator out of port that
date, but he told them to put away their
fears, and he slipped his mooring and set
of for home. The following day the En-
press OF Japan sailed for Vancouver, with
Colonel DENLY and Prof. Worcester aboard.
They left the Japanese port at sunrise. and
before shutdown they were being tossed by
the rim of the typhoon. The Empress of
Japan shifted its course. and ran from the
typhoon. In this way it avoided the force
of Il, and yet IL suffered some damage.

FUNSTON WILL RETURN
WILL GO BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES
AND FIGHT INSURGENTS.
He Is Said to Have Accepted President
McIkinley's OFFER of a Briga-
Her G~eneralship.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. IA Star spe-
cial from San Francisco says: Gen. Fred
erick Funston to-day received a telegram
from the War Department offering him a
brigadier's if,he would return to
the Philippines after his former regiment,
the Twentieth Kansas, is mustered out, Gen.
Funston accepted the offer"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Following a
conference between the President and Sec
rotary Root, the latter telegraphed TO Gen.
Frederick Funston the tender of a brigadier
generalship in the newly formed volunteer
service. Up to the time the War Depart
ment closed to-day General Funston's reply
had not been received by Adjutant General
Corbin. but the officials look upon the press
dispatch announcing General Funstons
purpose to accept as settling the fact that
he will be back in the service at an early
day. The selection CT General Funston was
made on merit after Secretary Root had
submitted to the President a list of officers
with their record for service. This list had
been carefully gone over and the essential
features Of recent service in the field noted.
The President was evidently impressed with
the chronicle of General Funston's work in
the Philippines, which follows closely the
press reports Of his gallant deeds during
General MacArthur's first advance to the
north, and his name was speedily selected
from the list. His appointment will be or
much service at this time, as the many new
volunteer regiments have caused a dearth
of officers of high rank. His youth and en-
