One of the Most Prominent Politicians
 in St Louis

St. Louis, Aug, A.-Judge Cromwell Or rick, ex-speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives, who chiefly instru- mental in restoring the ballot to secession ists in Missouri without compelling them to take the oath of loyalty, died today at his residence after an illness of nearly five years.
 MT. Orrick was a prominent attorney be- fore he broke down, and for many years was the law partner of General John w.. Noble, the firm being dissolved shortly be- fore General Noble went to Washington as Secretary of the Interior under President Harrison.
 In the Republican caucus of the conven- tion of 1870, MT. Orrick presented resolu- ton which afterward became an amend ment to the State constitution, restoring the rights of citizenship to all male citi- zens who had been disfranchised on account of the service in the Army of the Con federacy. Before that ex-Confederates had been compelled to take the oath of aleg- lance before being permitted to vote.
 MT. Orrick's widow Is the daughter Of Mrs. Beverly Allen, neice of General John Pope

GERMANY WAITING
To See What Answer the United States
 Will Make

Berlin, August 2.-Referring to Ii Hung Chang's latest request to Washington for mediation, a high official of the German Foreign Office said to the correspondent of the Associated Press today:
 Germany is waiting to see what answer the United States will make. If Washing ton is convinced that Earl Li represents any responsible Chinese Government, it could, of course, undertake medatory role for the establishment of peace but Germany is confident that, i'll any case, the United States will not separate them- selves from the concert of Powers"
 Asked if China now offered satisfactory indemnity for the murder of Baron von ketteler, the German Minister, whether Germany would be willing to make peace, the official replied:
 Matters have not yet advanced far enough to go into that; but there is no question of territorial conquest or infict- ing heavy blows, but merely the re-estab- Hshment of orderly conditions in China"
 The German papers are discussing what Is to be done next.
