ACCUSED OFFICIALS
ASK CHANGE OF VENUE
North Jersey Railway Men Think They
Are Prejudged.

NEWARK, n. j., May 16.-Former
Governor George T. Werts petitioned
Chief Justice Gummere today for a
change of venue for the trial of the
president, executive committee, and en-
pIoyes Of the North Jersey Railway, who
we're indicted for manslaughter in con-
nectfon with the Clifton Avenue horror
OF February 10.
He claimed that the public has been
so stirred I'D and that sentiment is sc
strong against the accused men that they
could not be assured a fair and Impair
tiaI trial. Prosecutor Chandler W. Riker
vigorously opposed any change OF venue
He claimed the accused would receive
fair treatment at the hands of an Essex
county jury. and protested against
change because of the heavy expense that
would have to be incurred in transport
ing witnesses.
Chief Justice Gummere said that 1t Is
a weIl-known fact that public opinion
has been stirred. which fact, with the
high standing Of accused up TO this time,
makes the question of venue one of great
Importance He then referred the mat
ter TO the supreme court full bench at
Trenton, for that body TO decide where
the trial shall be held.

A Fight for the Succession.

OF course the late Prince Wolfgang's
brother will contest this view, and bas-
ing himself on the laws of the land Will
claim the succession. 1t remains to be
seen what view the tribunal will take of
the matter, and the question if decided
against the newborn infant will arise
as to what extent the national laws Of
succession to property affect the statutes
governing the succession TO the throne.
Were the German crown prince to mar
~, to become Emperor, and then to die
leaving no male issue, the question
arises as to whether any son to which
his wife might give birth, after his de-
mise, would have any right to succeed
TO the throne of Prussia. and to the dig
nifty of German Emperor.
This is a matter which is of consid-
cradle interest, and while it is easy TO
understand the motives which have
prompted the compilers of the new Ger
man code to discriminate against chill
dren of posthumous birth, since the
frauds in connection with cases OF tins
kind have been numerous, yet it cannot
be denied that the law bearing upon

An Unfortunate Incident.

In view of the letters which have been
recently appearing in the American pa
pers written by English people, and es-
pecially by subjects of King Edward in
the West Indies. condemnlng the social
ostracism to which the white classes
condemn the colored people in this
country, it is unfortunate that Lady
Hemming, the wife OF the governor OF
Jamaica, should have declined at a
horse show held there the other day to
take her seat in the place reserved for
her on the grandstand until a respect
able colored woman, we'll dressed and
well behaved, who occupied seat not
far off, had been removed
This was done in Difference to the or
ders OF one of the governors ides-de
camp by a policeman, and the incident,
which created great sensation, being
witnessed by the public, aroused so
much indignation on the part of an
American couple present that they in
vited the colored woman, who maintain
ed most quiet and dignified attitude
in these trying circumstances. to take a
seat in their box, from which, after ex-
>
they withdrew
This is the first occasion on which
there has beer, such public exhibition
of aversion to the colored element dis
played by people occupying high on
cial positions in the British West In
dies. where there are several coaI-black
members OF the African race who have
been knighted by the late Queen Victo-
ria, and whose wives are, therefore, en-
titled to the prefix of "lady" to their
name, just in the same manner as Lady
Hemming I understand that the matter
is to be taken up in parliament in Eng
land, and we shall doubtless hear more
about the affair, which, as Sir Augustus
Hemming is a specially capable admin
istrator, is greatly to be regretted.

on duty with the general board in
Washington, has been assigned TO the
command of the coast defense squad

The Acting Secretary of the Navy
has directed that the Paul Jones, a new

the Union Iron Works. San Francisco,
be accepted and placed in commission
as soon as possible.
Capt. J. F. MeGHl, Marine Corps. Is
visiting friends in the South on leave
of absence. This officers service in the
East was of the most trying charac-
ter. He went through the Chinese cam
paign, and did shore duty at Guam and
Manila. Captain McGill is a District

Washington
The battleship Wisconsin has sailed
from Bremerton, Wash. for the Asiatfc
station, where she will relieve the Ken

touches at Honolulu, and goes from
there direct to Yokohama. 1t is believed

Crowds Hear Debates.

According TO the reports on the open
Ing day of the campaign, business was
suspended in the town of fernando,
and crowds came from all over northern
Mississippi to listen to the old fashion
ed joint debate upon the issues as pre-
scented by the contestants for political
honors. It was evidently an all day af-
fair, for the graphic description of
the meeting in the New Orleans Times
Democrat" says:
1T was expected that the debate
would be held in the morning. and the
yard OF the courthouse was filled before
o'clock. The morning was unseason-
ably warm, and many collars slapped
limp and gluey upon apopIectic necks.
There was an oppressive quiet
Morning trains brought many people
to fernando from all sections of the
State.
Many people drove into fernando
through the dust and hitched their tired
animals TO the courthouse fence. The
yard surrounding the building before 10
o'clock was filed with perspiring hu-
manity.
Both Senator Money and Governor
Longino arrived late. The composite
eye Of the community was conferred upon
them.
Not since the war have so many peo-
pie gathered at one time in this his
torical little center. Old residents
joined with the young in welcoming
their candidates

Certain to Be a Democrat.

Mississippi. as was expressed by the
chairman of the meeting when the first
gun of the contest was fired. recognizes
but one of the two great national politi-
cal party-namely. the Democratic
party. so that whatever may happen
Senator Moneys successor will be a
Democrat.
While the two candidates may rail at
each other, assault and question the
motives which govern the actions of
each other. they fight shoulder to
shoulder against their common enemy
The election of a Senator Is much
more OF serious matter in Mississippi
than it is in many Northern States,
where the political boss names the man
and the Legislature goes through the
formality of electing him, in order that
he may have the constitutional creden-
tfals. or where the Senatorial toga is
Knocked down to the highest bidder
This, therefore, accounts for the great
interest which the people of the State
have taken in the canvass.

The Field of Politics
War in Mississippi.

While cotton Is growing this summer
down in sunny Mississippi two dis
tinguished citizens of that State are TO
be engaged in the pleasurable pastime
of masticating a strip of the finished
product in order that the people may
determine which of them shall hold a
seat in the United States Senate for the
next six years.
The two gentlemen thus to engage in
joint debate are the Hon. Hernani De
Soto Money, the present Senator. WI g
term will expire in March, 1905, and the
Hon. A. H. Longino, the governor, who
retires from that Office in January OF
next year. The Senator desires to sue
coed himself, and the governor is
anxious to wear the Senatorial toga-
The people are to decide by the primary
system for the first time in the history
of the State.
The campaign was opened recently at
the town of fernando in the northern
part of the State, and the fight will not
cease until August, when the primary
election is held. Whichever candidate
receives the majority of votes cast the
Legislature at it's next session is moral
ly bound to send to the Senate.

rather than to fit his figure, and give
him the aspect OF an antiauated UNI

He disdains all the articles OF the

seems to begrudge every moment that
he wastes either at the table or in bed,
drinks nothing but water and milk, has
heart that is utterly insensible 10 the
charms of the fair sex, and is twisted
and warped in shape. This is owing to
the fact that he was dangerously wound
ed IN the war of 1870 at the battle Of st.
Privat, where he lost two ribs, and he
has ever since been obliged TO wear a
silver brace or corset in the same way
that the French general the Marquis de
GalIifet wears a silver covering upon
that part of the abdomen which was
shot away during the Mexican war.
The new field marshal has no ear
whatever for music. and on one mem

Frowns on Posthumous Children.

Posthumous children are frowned upon
by German law as set forth by the new
imperial code, which declares that only
those children shall have a right to their
fathers heritage who have been born
prior to his demise. Attention has just
been called TO this particular provision
OF the law by the posthumous birth OF
son to the late Prince Wolfgang Stol-
berg. who was found dead with the top
of his head blown off through the dis
charge of his gun only a few days after
the demise of his own father, Prince
Alfred, whom he had succeeded as eldest
son.
The newborn infant, who has thus
made his appearance in the world nearly
five months after the death of its father,
has, according TO the law of the land,
no right to the chieftainship of the
princely house of Stolberg and to the
vast estates and immense fortune that
go Herewith But the mother of the
child-that is to say. the widowed Prin-
| cess WoIfgang Stolberg-and her legal
advisers have already put forward the
pretention that members of mediatized
houses of Germany-that is to say, fami-
lies exercising rights of petty sover-
eighty prior to the beginning of the
nineteenth century-are governed in
matters of succession, marriage, etc, by
their own family statutes enacted by

Captured the Emperor.

At the grand military maneuvers held
some years ago, when William assumed
the direction of one of the rival armies,
the field marshal had the temerity to
surround and capture his sovereign. On
another occasion, IL was in 1898. when
the Kaiser commanded and led IN per
son a charge of cavalry, which resulted
in the death of no less than fourteen
horses, and in the placing hors de COM
bat OF some twenty troopers, several of
whom succumhed to their injuries. the
count apostrophized the Emperor with
this remark: IF you go on at this rate
really don't know If shall have enough
men left to bury the dead

Finally, time was called and Senator
Money was the first to sally forth. and
as reported by the Times Democrat =
writer this is what he did: HE struck
out with a stacism splendidly urbane
he discussed the tariff and then the big
trust combinations, crashing through
the wreck and debris of the Democratic
party The cataclism was complete"
II the Senator did all this, it is no
wonder that. as the account states. he
was frequently applauded In Washing
ton, people, especially street car con-
ductors, have known Senator Money to
strike with a jackknife instead of a
"stocism," but, the fact that he uses
different weapons in Mississippi from
those employed by him in Washington
is not essential. At any rate his
"stocism" was "splendidly urbane" and
the "catalism was complete" ;-ftcr the
Senator had emerged from his crash into
