Frankfort on the Oder. Germany, Sep
tember 10.-Emperor Williams guests
were a weary and rather haggard lot
this morning. Prince Albrecht, as the
Emperor's representative, entertained
all of them at dinner last evening and
it was toward twelve when the party
broke up. At a. M, or a quarter past,
they had themselves called, the Emperor
having directed that the battle begin at
seven.
The field of the manoeuVres is
situated quite a distance by rail from
Frankfort-o the Oder and the princes
and generals had to assemble at the rail-
road station at 4:30 a. m. to catch the
special train. Even then the Emperor
was afield before them.
Tons of gunpowder were burned today.
Sixty thousand infantry and two hun
dred pieces of artillery were in action.
The reports near and distant of the
many thousand of rifles were broken at
intervals by the tearing, ripsawing ef-
feet of the firing of the machine guns.
Emperor William, Major General Cor
bin. Major General Young, Brigadier-
General Wood, Lord Roberts, General
French and the other visitors and the
numerous staff, in all one hundred horse
men. looked on from a hill top midway
between portion of the hostile lines.
On a rim of the horizon to the west
flashed eleven batteries of artillery, un-
der whose imaginary shells the infantry
of the Red army advanced. The scenic
effect of the whole, especially of the
seemingly limitIess number of troops,
satisfied the observers.
The Red army pushed through the
Blues centre after three hours brisk
work, and the aeronauts sent UP great
yellow ball, which was visible for ten
miles around, as a signal that the UNI
pires had ordered a suspension Of the
engagement.
The opposing forces were freshly re-
arranged after the guests and unofficial
visitors accompanying them had return
ed from Frankfort on the Oder. the Em-
peror remaining tirelessly on his horse;
the engagement was resumed and at the
end of the day, the Blue army was ad-

Gonaives, Hayti, Sept. 10.-An investi-
cation made by a correspondent of the
Associated Press into the sinking of the
Firminist gunboat Crete-a -Pierrot at the
entrance of this harbor Saturday, shows
that Admiral Killick, her commander,
personally fired the after magazine of
that vessel when the German gunboat
Panther attempted to capture her, and
that he apparently went down with his
ship The Panther, which had previously
attempted to board the Crete-aP Pierrot,
the latter being moored to the shore, re-
versed her engines when the magazine
exploded and one hour afterwards fired
thirty shots from her guns at the Crete
a-Pierrot in, order to finish the work of
sinking her. The Panther then left
Gonaives.
1t is claimed here that the rifles and
machine guns of the Crete-a- PierrOt have
been saved.
The body of Admiral Killick was re-
covered Saturday afternoon and was
buried the same evening. The surgeon
of the Crete-a- -Pierrot, who was asleep
in his cabin, and two sailors of that YES
sci also perished.
The Panther is expected to reach Cape
Haytien on Friday.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Food for deep reflection on the part
Of the man who thinks that the Repub-
lican party can be relied upon to re-
wise the tariff is found in the splendid
variety of position assumed by differ
ent Republican orators at different
places in the prevailing campaign.
Take the subject of the Iowa idea, as
that idea is expounded by the Repub-
lican statesmen of Iowa. When one
has read the splendid speeches of Gov.
COMMUNICATING more clear and en-
phatic each succeeding day-and then
turns to the utterances Of that other
treasury, it is found that there is no
conceivable way in which they can be
reconciled.
Gov. Cummins in his Chicago speech
Of Thursday has eliminated the eff"
from the Chicago platform, as he prom
Used to do. No believer in the connec-
ton between certain commercial mo-
nopolies, like the steel trust and the
tariff, whether he is Republican or
Democratic, will ask that the admins
tratfon shall so any further than Gov.
Cummins goes in the following senten-
ces:
''That changes in the tariff would
become necessary or advisable no Repub-
lican has ever doubted. The platform
was adopted under circumstances that
made it clear that the Republicans of
Iowa are deeply convinced that the time
has come, through the progress of our
industries and their changing relations to
the commerce of the world, when modif-
cations of the tariff are imperatively de-
signs of the times, this belief is shared
by the Republicans of forty-four other
states"
Now, where does the principal finan-
cial officer of the national government
stand on this subject He was Gov.
Cummins' predecessor in the Office of
governor. He has recently spoken be-
fore the Massachusetts Republican
club at Boston. His speech was large
ly devoted to establishing that the
Democratic party does not really OPP
pose has not shown that it desired
evil where the evil was productive of
monopoly He gave a glowing account
of what the steel trust was doing for
the people of the different sections of
the country, presenting that concern to
view as to all intents a philanthropic
institution. He did, however, come
down for moment to the consideration
of the Iowa idea. Here was what he
said, and all he said in that behalf:
"The next industry of Importance which
the people generally claim to be a trust
is sugar refining, and here again we are
urged to remove the tariff that we may
have increased competition. 1 doubt the
wisdom of following advice when the
blow recommended will be sure to fall
with ruinous effect upon competitors of
alleged monopolies."
Is this not an entirely different thing
from the Interpretation put on the
Iowa idea by Gov. Cummins? The 'if'
is certainly not taken out of the Iowa
