SAYS KAISER HAS FREE MIND
Count Won BuelOw Finds Emperor's
UtterRnces Awkward, hut Likes
His Strong Personality.

BERLIN, Jan. 21-Chancellor Won Bue-
low, replying in the Reichstag today to
an assertion Of Herr Richter, the radical
leader, that the country and the crown it
self were harmed by the too frequent ut
terances of Emperor William without con-
sulting his ministers, said:
In a constitutional state the leading
statesmen must reckon with the indivldu-
ality Of the monarch. The stronger that
individuality all the more Is he inclined to
influence the states affairs, which does not
aways facilitate the statesmans official du-
ties but the strongly marked individuality
OF a ruler Is a great advantage that cannot
be overestimated. | have found many per-
sons abroad that long for a monarch of ac-
eCntuated personality. Nobody should blind
himself against the grand lines in the
character. of our emperor. He has a free
and unprejudiced mind and there Is moth
ing petty In him. Whatever you blame
in him. he is no Philistine If you wish 10
make attacks, direct them against me.
The chancellor, later referring to the
remarks of Herr Liebermann Won Sonen-
berg, said he recommended Emperor Wh-
liam to- receive the Boer generals II they
sought presentation through the British

ION HORN PLANs To EscAPE
one of Men I'm the Plot weAkens and
Gives the whole Plan
Away.

CHEYENNE. Wyo., Jan. 21.-tSpecial
Telsgram)- An attempt vas to have been
made tonight to uberate Tom Horn, the
Condemned murderer Of Willie Nickel, but
one Of the eonspiratOrf weakened and eN-
posed the plot. Frank Herr, a cowboy,
was engaged by Horns friends to communi-
cate with the prisoner and arrange the de-
tails Of escape. Herr stole saddle and
was sentenced to three months imprison-
ment in the same jail in which Horn is
incarcerated. Horn communicated with
Herr and gave him written instructions
what to do when he. Herr. obtained his
freedom. These provided for the purchase
Of dynamite with which the wall Of the jail
was to be blown down at time when Horn
was exercising in the corridor. saddle
horse, with guns, ammunition, provisions
and clothing, was to be stationed in an
alley near the jail and other provisions
made for the escape.
The letters and other evidences OF the
daring plot are in the possession Of the
officers. Horn denies Herr's story, also
that he wrote the letters, nut experts say
the writing is that Of Horn. Extra pre-
cautions to prevent delivery will be taken
from now on. Horns case Is now in the
supreme court, where arguments will be
made for a new trial, but IL is expected the
petition will be denied and that Horn will
be sentenced to be hanged some time in

SAYS OMAHA YARDS SUFFER
Kenyon Tells Interstate Commerce Oommis-
siSn Chicago is Aided by Railroads
CATTLE CARRIED EAST BY FAST TRAINS
Claims Shipments TO windy City
Travel Much More Rapidly
Than Cars Consigned TO
Nebraska's Center.

CHICAGO. Jan. 21.-Representatives OF
live stock interests OF Omaha, St. Joseph
and Sioux City took turns today in ex-
planning to the Interstate Commerce com
mission that Chicago is favored in rates
and train service over those cities.
w J. c. Kenyon, manager OF the South
Omaha stock yards, said IL stock trains
maintained the same rate of speed used
from Cumberland to Omaha in going from
Omaha to Chicago it would take them
thirty eight hours to get there instead Of
twenty-three as at present.
Shippers to Omaha we're further ham
pered by trains arriving in the afternoon
instead Of in the favored hours Of the morn
ing.
MIR. Kenyon said shipments to Chicago
had not decreased and he knew Of no con-
ditions which required a chHnge of the
former relative rates between live stock
and manufactured goods.
Horace Wood, assistant general manager
of the st. Joseph exchange, gave similar
evidence and Edward McVann. commits
sioner OF the Sioux City Commercial club,
said in his opinion the present adjustment
Of rates was pretty fair as between cities,
but with Chicago having a trifiing advant-
age.
Al ueNeioPeu thIouBh MI NV ann . Io0'i
mony that shippers usually secured the ad-
vantage OF unused portions Of bills OF lad
ing so that the actual stock rates from
Sioux City we're considerably lower than
the rates on the product. He further de-
clared that If the commission lowered the
present live stock rates into Chicago he
| should ask the Iowa commission to lower
the distance tariffs accordingly.
II the hearing results in a decision that
there should be a reduction in the rates
on live stock from Missouri river territory
to Chicago, the railroads may be compelled
to meet a number of claims for the differ
ence between the rate as decided upon and
that which has been charged. These claims
il they are filed by all of the shippers who
have paid or may hereafter pay the higher
rate, will amount to millions of dollars.

we're armed with Martini Henry rifles. or
the remainder. 30 per cent we're armed
with imitation Martini -Henrys. manufaC
tured in Fee, and the balance carried old
iintlocks and muzzle leaders. The ar
tillery consisted Of twenty breech-loading
Krupps, twenty-three brass muzzle leaders,
twelve Maxims, firing Martini Henry car
tridges, and twenty-one other machine
guns, the latter, however, were decidedly
unreliable.
II was almost impossible to train, the ma
tives to handle artillery, aa they believed
cannon TO be the invention of the devil.
Many refuse altogether to serve the guns
The pretender's forces evidently had been
drilled in the European system Of warfare
and were decidedly superior to the sui
tan's troops. Any sudden, decided success
by the pretender would be likely to pre-
cipitate wholesale deseTtions from the sui
tan's ranks.
