DIDN'T SEE THE KAISER.
DR.. Zorn Returns to The Hague With
out Consulting Emperor William.

The Hague, June 20-Dr. Zorn, the
member of the German delegation to
the international peace conference,
who was dispatched Friday by Count
Won Munster, chief German delegate,
after a conference with his colleagues,
to inform Emperor William personally
of the condition of affairs in regard to
the board of arbitration question, re-
turned to Scheveningen Monday from
Berlin 1t is said, however, owing to
absence of the emperor, DR.. Zorn was
only able to consult with the official
German foreign offire. DR.. Aorn is
discreetly reticent regarding his mis-
sion, but it is understood that he OBJ
tanned the impression at Berlin that all
hope need not be abandoned affecting
an understanding regarding the organ
ization of an arbitration board by
amalgamating the various schemes. 1t
is expected that Emperor William will
reach a decision this week The mat
ter therefore remains unchanged, and
the drafting committee will not meet
until the kaiser's decision is known.
The conference wishes an arbitration
tribunal to be established. 1t may de-
eide upon the draft scheme, pending
Germany's decision.

Some Facts Regarding the Stoughton
Failure.
Madison, June 1

Madison, June II.
Reports which have been circulated
ascribing the failure of the Dane Coun-
" bank at Stoughton to the large loans
made to I. c. Brictson are denied BY
him and his statement is corroharated
by a similar statement made by Bank
Examiner Kidd.
In the reports circulated Mr.. Brict-
son is made responsible for the dis
aster which overlook the bank a few
days ago. Mr.. Kidd says the respon-
sibility for the failure rests with the
officers Of the bank, and especially it's
cashier, J. H. Joice, who, until re-
Gently, had practically full charge of
the Institution and was allowed to
make loans without consulting the
other officers or directors. Exorbitant
sums were borrowed from the bank by
other parties, including the cashier, in
addition TO loans made to Mr. Brict-
son, without security therefor, the
amount Of the liability on the part Of
the cashier as maker or endorser ey-
ceeding the amount due from any other
SoiA O''SA, GIL SUNS lhlo
ventures in which he was largely inter
ested. Instructions were repeatedly
given to the officers of the bank to call
in these loans or demand ample secu-
rity to protect the same, but such in
structions were not followed.
In December last an examination
OF the bank was made by Mr.. Kidd,
after which written instructions were
given the officers and directors to call
a meeting at once and insist that all
large loans be called in, reduced IN
amount, or properly secured. In
March the bank was again visited, and
the examination disclosed the fact that
these loans mot only still remained
unsecured and unpaid, but contrary to
instructions given by the bank exam
liner they had been largely increased.
Mr.. Kidd at that time instructed the
president to call meeting of the
board Of directors at once and by res
olution appoint a discount committee.

WILLS OF PRESIDENTS.
The Hero OF New Orleans Ruined by a
Nephew.

Washington, June 1S.-Several mem
bers of the local bar have been en-
gagged recently in a systematic invesri-
cation of the records Of the register Of
wills for the District of Columbia.
Their research has brought to light a
number Of very remarkable documents
and many testaments written by prom
inent government officials.
In the registers Office are the origi-
nal or copies of wills executed by six
OF the presidents-Washin Madi-
son, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, An
drew Jackson and franklin Pierce.
That Of Monroe, which is the only
original of the half dozen, was made in
New York and would have been pro-
bated there except that the testator's
only property was a grant from con-
gress. This claim was the single credit
account mentioned in the will with

Manila, June 20.-A battalion OF the
Attn infantry which Monday morning
left linus, where Gen. Wheaton IS IN
command, to recOnnOiter towards
Peras Das Marinas, where it was be-
lieved most of the rebels who escaped
from Paranaque and BaccOr had fed,
was attacked in the rear by apparently
friendly natives. This brought on
sharp engagement, lasting several
hours, resulting in five Americans be-
ing killed and about 25 being wounded.
The loss of the rebels was very heavy.
The battalion soon exhausted it's am
munition and at 2:30 in the afternoon
Gen. Wheaton and his staff, with the "a
battalion, two mounted guns and one
field piece, went to reinforce the troops
attacked. Gen Wheaton was fired
upon and had a narrow escape. Later,
the Sd battalion was ordered to the
front and formed on the Las Minas
road. Heavy firing on both sides fol-
lowed, the artillery being freely used.
The enemy was located in the woods
at o'clock, showing signs oil
retiring, as the rebels were
being pressed very hard. One
gun of the 9Th artillery, in an ad-
vantageous position, did great execu-
ton. The fighting was still in prog
ress at o'clock, at which time the
Americans had secured a quantity OF
Filipino arms, which had been aban-
doned in the woods. The scene of the
fight is over 20 miles from Manila.

KINGsHIP MAY BE ABOLISHED.
This May Be Necessary to End Strife
in Samoa.

Berlin, June 20.-In the reichstag the
Anglo-German treaty was referred to
in committee. During the debate
Leibermann Won Sonneberg attacked
Great Britain's proceedings in Samoa.
The minister of foreign affairs, Baron
Won Buelow, replied, saying: L have
no objection to again define our atti-
tude on the Samoan question. We
shall not depart from the stipulations
of the Samoan treaty, nor allow the
others to turn us from our course. We
recognize the rights of others while
maintaining our own. We shall pro-
vide for full Naturalization of Ger
mans whose property was destroyed by
illegal British or American action"
The minister also read dispatches, out
lining the situation, the only new point
being the German commissioners
statement that the commission had re-
ceived both Malietoa Tanus and Ma
taafa, as having equal rights as party
leaders, and the announcement of the
possibility that the strife may be end
ed by the abolition of the kingship.

ROSSEAU GIVES IT UP.
Unable to Form New Cabinet For
France.

Paris, June 20.-It was announced
last evening that Senator Waldect-
Rosseau had declined the task Of form
ing a new cabinet. The failure OF NJ.
Waldeck-Rosseau is due, it is said, to
the refusal of Camille Krantz to accept
the portfolio of public works, which he
considers inferior to the portfolio Of
war, held by him in the retiring cabi-
net. But for this, the Waldeck-Ros-
seau slate was complete.
Poincare and Guillaine made their
acceptance Of offices dependent upon
the inclusion of Krantz. The latter,
besides refusing the portfolio of public
works, expressed his disapproval Of
certain measures which Waldeck-Ros-
seau proposed to take against The
generals and colonies who recently in
spired the newspaper propaganda in
favor of the army. After formal
consultation today it is expected that
Loubet will again summon Poincare.

and took a special course at Lehigh
university, and afterwards at Johns
Hopkins, but, his eyes giving out, lie

construction in Kentucky. Coming to
Milwaukee in 1889 he studied law and
was admitted TO the Wisconsin bar,
was assistant district attorney during
Clarence S. Browns term Of Office and
later the law partner Of William 4.
Walker. President Cleveland early n
1896 appointed him mineral land COM
missioner for Montana, which position
he held until about six months after
Mr.. Mckinley assumed the reins OF
office. Returning to Milwaukee he
practiced law until January last when
he received the appointment as assist
ant general manager Of the Payer
d'Oro Mining company in Ecuador.

London, June 20.-Mrs. Emily Craw-
ford, Paris correspondent of the Daily

has been received from Devils Isle:
'Dreyfus has gone. What shall we do
with coffin and embalming drugs?'
This coffin was specially made about
the time of the lola trial and sent out
by the Meline government, because it
was feared that if Dreyfus died it
would be necessary to bring the re-
mains to France for Identification to
ally the suspicious of the anti-semites
that he had been allowed to escape like
