THOUGHT TO BE KERN
MANNERS'S DESCRIPTION FITS
 THAT OF FUGITIVE.
Prisoner Denies That He is the Man Who Robbed MT. Thebaud of New York-Klein Makes
 Statement.

New Orleans, Jan. 16.--T. k. Manners. under arrest here on suspicion that he is Edward Kern. wanted in New York to answer to the charge of robbing Mir. Thebeaud of quantity of valuable jewelry. still denies that he is. Kern. In his possession wes found a toilet set marked M E. T." which is supposed to belong to MT Thebeaud's brother, but Manners says these letters are his own initials reversed. practice which he says is not uncommon. He has engaged counsel, but no legal steps have been taken in his behalf.
 Klein, one of the men arrested on the charge of robbing Manners. makes a statement in which he says he and Rogers know Kern and called on Manners at the hotel. Klein says Manners did not deny his identity, and they were frank enough to call his attention to their knowledge of an eight thousand dollar reward; that he then told them there was over eight thousand dollars of jewell ry in the trunk and instructed them how to get away with it, saying he would collect damages from the hotel and meet them in Atlanta for q further division of the spells.
 When they broke open the trunk it only contained few hundred dollars worth of stuff and the police pursuit prevented the Atlanta trip They become convinc- ed that Manners had simply fooled them in order to escape and so gave hlm away. They hope. by proving that they did not steal anything, simply carrying ont orders they say the alleged Kern gave them. to go scot free.
 Sheriff Marrero, who is holding Man ners, says the description fits that of Kern, even to the scars. He has been notified that Mir. Thebaud and New York detectives are on the way to New Or- leans to identify the prisoner.

The speaker expressed his sceptcisn as to the motives of the visit to London of Dr. Kuypers, saying: "I do not suppose he came to see the old masters" He twitted MT. Chamberlain for trailing his diplomatic coat and in viting anybody to tread upon it." and contended that the name of Great Brit ain was now held in hostility abroad compare to which all previous records faded into insignificance.
 Lord Rosebery commended the spirit and the words of Mir. Chamberlain's, re- ply to the Imperial Chancellor of Ger many, Count von Buelow, but expressed his anxiety concerning the constant con troversies with Germany and other pow CTS which MT. Chamberlain's dialectics had excited. He wanted to know where 1t was going to stop, Indulgence In the present methods, Lord Rosebery said. would give ample opportunity for main- taining that position of splendid isolation which the Government seemed to deem eminently desirable, but to maintain which they would do well to have an overpowerlng fleet and an efficient army. for other powers were building fleets.

 Along certain lines," he said, Inter ference Is rot ooly permissible, but de- manded. Tho n-otive to organize such corporations could be. and should be, limited to the material desire to make profit from the business in which the corporation is to engage"
 Speaking of a remedy, he said: 'I be- .lieve the question is a national one. Be- fore corporations which are to do busi- ness throughout the country and in which the people of our State are quite as much interested as much as the people of another. are permitted to organize, they should be compelled to show that their capital stock has been paid for in mon eV."
