His Greatest Hopes Blasted.

Prince Herbert Bismarck had been
i'll some weeks with cancer of the
liver. For several days before, his
death, according to cablegrams. his
case was considered hopeless.
Born in IS4o,she was the eldest son
of the late Prince Otto Bismarck, the
great Chancellor of the German En-.
pire. He studied law in Berlin and
Bonn Universities, served in the Prus-
sian Army as a lieutenant of reserves
during the Franco-German War OF
IS7o-187I, and was severely wounded
at the battle of Marsha
In 1873 he became an official OF
the Department of Foreign Affairs
and was assistant to his father, then
chancellor. He was attached to the
German Legations at Berne and at
Vienna from 1874 to 1877. Later he
became councillor of the German En-
bassy in London and subsequently oc-
cupied the same position at St. Peters
burg In 1884 he was appointed MIN.
lister Extraordinary at The Hague, and
in 1885 he became Under Secretary
of State in the Department OF For
eign Affairs.
Since he ceased to be Under Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs on the retire
ment of his father, Prince Herbert had
taken part in public affairs only as a
member of the Reichstay. His atti-
tude had been that of man not ap-
preciated by his sovereign and who
was waiting in the background tor
an opportunity to resume his career.
His delivery as parliamentary
speaker improved year by year. He
always declined to join any political
group, steadfastly calling himself an
independent. His naughty and inn
perious manners in early life, when he
was ever conscious of the fact that he
was the son of the most powerful
statesman in Europe, softened in later
years.
Prince Bismarck's father trained
him to be his successor as Chancellor
of the German Empire, and it was a
heavy blow to both that this hope
could not be realized.
An incident which nearly wrecked
his career and caused the old Cham
cellor great annoyance was Prince
(then Count Herbert's elopement
with Princess Carolath Beuthen, wife
of Prince Karl, the head of distin-
guished Silesian house. The Princess
was of the Hatzfeldt family, and young
Bismarck at the time was has fathers
private secretary. Count Herbert re-
manned with the Princess in Southern
Italy a few weeks and then, at the
command of his father, returned to
Germany. The Princess was after
ward divorced and has since died.
The title of Prince Bismarck and
the large fortune of Prince Herbert
will go to his 7-year-old son Otto. The
late Emperor Frederick gave to the
elder Bismarck extensive forests at
FREDERICKSBURG, which have since in
creased in value, and the Chancellor
gave to Prince Herbert $2.4oo, 900 in
securities and cash. The estate is now
estimated to be worth S4,ooo,ooo, ex-
elusive of the lands.

HORRORS OF PORT ARTHUR.
Prince RadziviI Tells Of BelIigerents' Ferocity
Truce ignored.

Chefoo (By Cable).-Accoriing to
Lieut.. Prince Radzivil, of the Rus-
sian Army, who just reached here
from Part Arthur bearing dispatches
from Lieutenant General Stoessel, the
commander-in-chi of the forces OF
the Russian strongholds, to General
Kuropatkin. the temper of the bellig-
erents at Port Arthur has reached an
absolutely merciless stage.
Prince Radzivil served with the
British in the Boer War, and he says
that until he became aware of the
state of affairs at Port Arthur he had
no idea that war could be so horrible.
1t was set forth in these dispatches
some weeks ago that serious suspi-
cions were entertained. by botn bel
ligerents that the other was misuslng
the Red Cross flag. These suspicious
have been increased by the commits
sion of war acts by the soldiers OF
both armies, until now even flags OF
truce or surrender are not respected
by either side.
Prince Radzivil declares that the
men of both armies are absolutely
venomous in their antag onism. But
General Stoessel has addressed his
garrison, saying that the present mood
of the Japs indicates clearly the ne
cessity of resisting them to the last
drop of Russian blood. because if the
Japanese soldiers entered the fortress
it undoubtedly would be impossible
for their officers to control them and
prevent massacre For this reason
Lieutenant General Stoessel is max
ing no objection to civilians leaving
Port Arthur.
When the 800 women who are IN
Port Arthur engaged in hospital work
were advised to leave, they replied
that they would rather face the posi-
bility of massacre than desert their
posts.
In consequence of the fact that
flags of truce are ignored, numbers
of Japanese dead who have been ly-
ing on the slopes of the hills of the
northeast defenses for weeks past are
still unburier, and the stencil in Port
Arthur from decomposing bodies
when the wind is in the right direction
is almost uncomfortable. The Russian
soldiers. who are in some cases posted
only so PAGES from heaps of decaying
dead, have constantly to wear over
their noses handkerchiefs soaked in
camphor, as otherwise they would be
unable to remain at their posts.
In the course of the assaults which
took place in the four last days of
August two companies of Japanese
soldiers, according to Prince Radzivil,
found themselves at the mercy OF the
Russians and hoisted white flag. To
this, however, the Russians paid no
attention, but continued to volley rap
idly into the helpless ranks of the
enemy. In the meantime Japanese
troops in the rear of the companies
that had raised the white flag saw
what their comrades had done, and
expressed their disapproval of the sur
render by firing into their rear.
AS result from this fire from friend
and foe GOO men were annihilated. The
dead fell among the decomposing
bodies of previous assaults.

AMERICA CAN SEND roO5.
Russian Answer to the Protest About Con
traband.

ST. Petersburg (By Cable).-The
Russian answer to the American note
in regard to contraband of war, as
| specifically raised in the cases of the
British steamer Calchas and the Ger
man steamer Arabia, both captured
by the Vladivostok squadron, the for
mer while bound from Puget SOUND
ports to Japan. has been delivered.
1t follows generally the lines of the
reply to Great Britain. On the broad
question involved Russia recognizes
the principle of the immunity OF inno-
cent trade with Japanese ports. but
she holds to her right to stop contra
band destined for the use OF TIE Japa-
nese military or naval forces. The
United States is informed. as was
Great Britain last Friday, that in
structions embodying the decision OF
the commission presided over by Pro-
lessor de Martens have been issued
to the naval commanders and prize
courts to govern them in the future,
the instructions recognizing the dual
uses and therefore. only the cordi-
tionally contraband character OF the
articles in Section 10 OF Article e OF
the Russian regulations. with TIE ex-
ception of horses and other beasts of
burden.
The mere fact that a consiC lment is
consigned TO private persons or firms,
as also pointed out to Great Britain,
Russia will not accept as necessarily
furnishing exemption from seizure,
should circumstances, for instance,
like the shipment of full cargo of
food create fair presumption that it
is intended for the use Of the Japanese
Government for supplying her army
or navy The circumstances of each
case, therefore, will to certain ex-
tent govern it.
Russia will not undertake at this
stage to interfere with the eases OF
the steamships Arabia and Calchas. Of
which the courts have already taken
iuris dietion, and in which the Vladi-
vostak court found the facts; but,
upon appe~' the admiralty court will
apply its Interpretation Of Section &c.
which practically amounts to an as
surance that the -four and other food
stuffs seized will then be released. 1t
is improbable that all the articles con-
hscated by the lower court will be re-
leased The commissions decision.
as embodied in the instructions. does
not seemingly go beyond the articles
enumerated in Section 10. from which
it is inferred that coal. railroad ma
terial, machinery and boilers for ships
and even cotton are enumerated along
with munitions of war in the list of
articles which remain in the category
Of absolute contraband. Il is under
stood. however, that private assur-
ances have been given the United
States that the American Government
will be satisfied with the manner III
which the contraband rules will be
interpreted hereafter.

Mr.. M'CuE IS INDICTED

Murder Of His Wife.
FEELING IS STRONG AGAINST HIM.
Uses His Cell For an Offlce-The People Of
Charlottesville Still Greatly Excited Over the
Awfu. Crime-Mccue's Trial May Take Place
Next Mopth-Deed to Lawyers and the
Insanity Theory.

Charlottesville, Va. (SpeciaD.EThe
grand jury met here Monday, exam
ined score of witnesses in the Nc
Cue murder case and late in the aft

Mayor ]. Samuel McCue, who is now
in jail, charging him with the willful
and malicious murder of his wife, Fan
ME McCue.
From information obtained here the
evidence in the possession of the pros
ecuting attorneys, Messrs. Frank Gil
mer, of this county, and Richard Ker,
of Stanton, is of such character as
to almost eliminate belief in McCue's
protestations of innocence, and the
fear is expressed that when the full
facts are bought out in court there
may be trouble of a serious kind:
While there is now no intimation OF
mob violence, the leading men OF the
city are anxious for a speedy trial. and
the authorities recognizing the senti-
ment of the people are determined
that there shall be no unnecessary
delay.
Feeling in the community against
McCue is stronger now than 1t mas
been at any other time, and the most
conservative citizens say that while
the sentiment is quiet now it is on the
increase In all the city there are few
persons who believe him innocent, and
the puzzle just now is as to what Will
be the nature of the defense the pris-
oner's attorneys will make. The fact

ment of all of his property in the city
in order to secure the payment OF SI2,-
500 to his lawyers, naming John 3.
Moon, Edward C. McCue and John c.
McCue as trustees, has. it is declared.
absolutely cut off any possibility OF
the insanity plea upon the part OF his
counsel and has still further tended
to prejudice his case in the eyes of the
people, who look upon the transac-
ton at direct evidence that the law
yers have no confidence in the story
of their client, and that Mr.. McCue
himself proposes to take no chances
of being defended in lukewarm man
ner.
OF the $I2,5oo secured to the law
yers by the deed of trust, Mr.. Daniel
Hartman and Mr.. John L. Lee are
each to receive $4,000, while the firm
of Walker & Sinclair receives $4,000.
1t is believed these lawyers will put
up strenuous fight for delay, and
that it is hardly possible the case will
come to trial before the middle OF
October. 1t is also certain that it will
be necessary to draw a jury from
some other city, in different section
of the stare, as It will be Impossible
to find I2 men who nave rot make up
their minds about the case in this
county, or in Albemarle or Augusta
counties, where the murder has ere
ated as much public indignation as it
has here. In fact, throughout the Val
ley of Virginia the brutality of the
crime and the high standing of the
dead woman have aroused the people
as has no other occurrence in long
time.

New York Paper Points Out
Necessity Of Reciprocity
With Canada
NO PROTECTION IN GRAIN DUTY
Journal of Commerce Says There is
No Reason Why the Northwest
Should Not Receive Supplies of Ma
terisI From Canada Free of Duty for
Manufacturing Purposes.

New York, Oct. 19-The Journal of
Commerce says: "The milling inter-
ests of the northwest are just now pre-
sentinss in striking light the effect
of imposing duties upon raw materials
and trying to mitigate the effect by
a drawback when the product from the
and flour are food products and the
former has not until recently been con-
sidered in the light Of raw material for
the manufacture of the latter in rela-
ton to foreign trade. Now that our
surplus of wheat and flour for export
Is getting small, the effect upon the
milling industry and upon the export
trade Of the absurd duty of 25 cents a
bushel on grain is becoming manifest
as also Is the advantage of manufact-
uring wheat into flour before export
ing it.
There is no protection in the duty.
and IL The time should come when we
had to import staple articles of food
short work would be made Of our corn
laws Thus far the purpose of the
duties on ordinary products of agricul-
ture has only been to fool farmers,
who are all the time paying duties up
on manufactured goods for the sup
posed benefit Of other people.
There is no reason in the world
why the northwest should not receive
supplies Of material from Canada free
Of duty and convert the bulk Of the
Canadian surplus into flour for export
The duty is preventing this and en-
couraging the building UP Of manu-
featuring and transportation in Cana
