Bavarian member of the Center party.

telegram sent by Emperor William TO
Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria last
summer, expressing the Emperor's deep
Indignation at the refusal of the Bava-
rian Diet 10 vote $25 900 for art purposes.
Herr Schadler sharply criticized Emperor
Williams act as irresponsible interfer-
ence in the internal affairs Of an individ-
ual state.
Count Won Bulow said that as Chancel-
lor he was responsible only for the Off
cial utterances of the Emperor which he
was required to countersign, and that
beyond these limits the Emperor had full
liberty. like every other Prussian, to eX
press his personal views. Herr Schadler
having intimated that his Majesty's ac-
tion was dangerous TO the stability of the
empire Count Won Bulow said:
II express the hope that the members
of all parties will avoid utterances cal
cuated to raise doubts abroad regarding
the unity of the empire and regarding
the devotion of the people to and their
love of the imperial idea"

End.
Will Consider Plan to Di-
vide Senatorships With
Democrats.

DOVER, Del, Jan. 20.-The Union Re-
publican caucus last night placed J. Ed
ward Addicks in nomination for both the
short and long terms in the United States
Senate, both seats having been vacant for
some time The caucus then appointed a
committee to consult with the ten regu-
lar Republicans who are opposed to Ad-
dicks and endeavor to unite them in a
general Republican conference to make
two nominations for the United States
Senate, one to be made a Union Republi-
can and the other a regular Republican
While the Union Republican caucus was
at work in the State House nominating
Addicks the Democrats were caucusing in
the State House parlor and the regular
Republicans at the Hotel Richardson 1t
took the Democratic caucus but twenty
minutes to nominate State Chairman VIII
lard Salisbury for the short term at
Washington and former United States
Senator Richard Z. Kenney for the long
term. State Senator Harrington, the pre-
siding officer of the caucus, then dis
patched committee of five Democratic
Assemblymen to the regular Republican
caucus, submitting directly to the ten
regulars the proposition of the Democrats
to help elect a regular Republican for the
l fcur-year term in exchange for the help
OF the regulars to elect Democrat for
the two-year term. At 1880 o'clock the
regulars took a vote the appointment
of a committee to confer with commit
tee of the Democrats. The vote stood
to in favor Of the appointment of COM
mittee.
At this point in the proceedings the
Union Republican committee arrived and
urged the regulars TO unite with the
Union Republicans in a general confer
ence as indicated heretofore.
Meanwhile the regulars decided by ac-
clamation upon Colonel Henry A. Dupont
and former United States Senator An
thony Higgins as their nominees for the
long term and short term respectively.
Finally 1t was decided to appoint two con-
ference committees, one to meet the
Democrats and ask for further time to
consider their proposition. and the other
to inform the Unions that their PROPOSE
ton would be refused as long as ii in
cluded Addicks. The regular and Demo-
cratic committees will meet at 10 o'clock
this morning. This was decided upon
after midnight.

RAILROAD TRAINMEN
REFUSE TO COMPROMISE
Still Hold Out for the Twenty Per
Cent Increase of Wages
Demanded.

ST. PAUL. Jan. 19.-Hope of adjusting
the dispute over wages of railroad train
men is over for another week at least.
The cause of the delay is the slowness of
the negotiations at st. Louis. The fact
that the St. Paul committees have begun
to disperse is significant OF their determ
fnation not to weaken. Thus far they
have refused TO compromise and have
stuck TO their 20 per cent demand The
negotiations with the telegraph operators
are progressing somewhat slowly. The
Northern Pacific operators held another
conference with Superintendent Green to-
day.
TOPEKA, Kans., jan 19.-The board Of
adjustment of the Santa Fe conductors
and trainmen is still in session here. A
member of the board said tonight they
would not adjourn until some kind of
settlement of the wage controversy was
made with the Santa Fe. This is in ac-
cordance with the instructions they re-
ceived from their organizations A 20
per cent increase is asked.

SEATTLE. Jan. 19.-The body Of T.. {.
Bemis a San Francisco marine engineer.
who IS known to have been accidentally
drowned in the bay from Gaffney dock
on the night of December o. was to-day
discovered floating a the foot of Pine
street by idlers on the water front. 1t
was taken in charge by the Coroner.
From letters found in the pockets IL was
established that Bemis has a family re-
siding at Amigo, Wis. a small town in
the northern part of the State. No trace
of the body could be found until to-day,
when it was seen floating near the Pine
street shore. In the pockets of the dead
man were a silver watch, gold chain and
81 Is, besides numerous letters, two from
cne of his children. The body was well
clothed.
A wound in the neck afforded slight
foundation for rumor that the man had
been foully dealt with. but the Coroner
places no credence in the theory. Seldom
If ever are bodies which have remained
in the water for more than two weeks
recovered without showing bruises
and cuts caused by the driftwood and
other floating refuse, which the action of
the wind and tide brings in contact with
remains, frequently mutilating them in a
manner not dissimilar TO knife and pistol
wounds.
