REPLIES TO BERNS1ORff
Expresses Friendship of This Ma.

Washington, April 2l.--The United

German ambassador, declared that I'll

serve true neutrality, they will find
means to stop the exclusive importa
ton OF arms to one side or at least
to use this export trade as a means
to uphold legitimate trade with Ger
many, especially trade in foodstuffs.' ;
Only Signed BY Bryan.
The American note, only signed by
Bryan, it was declared at the state
department, was finally penned by
President Wilson himself After
pointing out the that the languag5
used by Won Bernstortf sis susceptible
of being construed as impugning the
good faith of the United States in the
performance of its duties as neu.
trial. the note takes for granted that
no such implication was intended and
suggests. that evidently the German
ambassador was laboring under GER
tain falls. Impressions
1t is then declared that, while the
relations Of the United States with
any one of the belligerents ,..'cannot
widely be made subject Of discussion
with third government" such CORE.
spondence between the United Sites
and the Allies has been published
and shows the steadfast refusal Of
the government to acknowledge the
right of any belligerent to alter the
accepted rules of war at sea In so far
as they affect the rights and interests
Of neutrals. .s~s,s.,
The attitude of the United States
on the question of expectation of
arms is restricted, namely, that to
place any embargo on arms during
the prevailing jar would be direct
violation of neutrality of the United
States.'
The note refers to the spirit of
friendship which the United States
desires always to manifest toward
Germany, and its people and concludes
with the declaration that the neutral
ty of the United States "is founded
upon a firm basis of conscience and

TEDDY Tells.
About BOSSES
Says Barnes Joined Forces With
Murphy to Defeat 1ndepen-
dents in Legislature. d

Syracuse, ~ Y, April 21.-Roose-
welt spent five hours on the stand in
the supreme court, telling what he
believed to be the inside story of ma
chine politics and boss rule in New
York state. BY so doing, the former
president hoped to convey to the jury
which is trying the suit which Will
liam Barnes brought against him for
alleged libel, the impression that he
was entirely justified in criticizing
Earnes. .
Reliably Informed.
He swore he had been reliably in
formed that Murphy Democrats and
Barnes Republicans" the latter un-
der the leadership OF Barnes, united
on more than one occasion to defeat
the plans Of independent I'll of both
parties in the state legislature. And
Barnes told William Loeb, Jr., the
witness declared, that he had an iron
clad agreement with Charles Murphy
of Tammany Hal! to allow the latter
a free hand to select United States
senator. Loe5 was private secretary
to Roosevelt when he was president
The witness stoiAgin great detail the
dealing with sthe.Slate Senator Platt,
the men he haddescribed as an easy
boss" 5S
Counsel for Colonel Roosevelt plan
ned to have him tell during his early
testimony about things Mr.. Barnes
had told him concerning his relations
with former Governor Hughes. The
attorneys wanted particularly to get
into the record conversation that
occurred in the White House.
Several accountants today began to
inspect the ten trunks of books
brought here from Albany by Charles
Winchester, vice president and gen
eral manager of the J. B. Lyon COM
pany, in which Colonel Roosevelt's
attorneys assert Mr.. Barnes is inter-
ested. They hope to obtain much in
formation about state printing con-
tracts and moneys paid for their exc.
cutiOn from these books.

The DANCING STAGE Who WILL SHOW
some SPEED AT The ELKS SHOW FRIDAY

Theatrical men in the legitimate

public with the best in the latest bits
OF terpischorean art. A minstrel
show without good dancing is about
as entertaining as a good oldfashion-

thoughts blend in the minds of Miller

appears this dancing feature of their

cial Canvass or Proposed
Recount.

Aberdeen, S. D., April 2l.-Attor'
neys have been at work all day pre-
pairing a case to take to circuit court
to demand recount of the votes
cast on the license question in the
Fourth ward. In this ward the votes
OF 1S travelling men, sent by register
ed mail, were rejected by the judges
of election, who would not stamp the
ballots after opening the letters. They
threw the votes out because they were
not stamped. This action will form
the basis of the case demanding a
recount.
Excitem ent has been at fever heat
here all day, groups gathering at ev'
cry corner to discuss the action OF the
judges in the Third and Fourth
wards.
The present status of the case is
that Aberdeen will become dry town
after July unless something materi-
alizes which will change the vote,
which the unofficial canvass shows to
be a tie, 1886 votes both for and
against the licensing Of saloons. Tn

carry The city commissioners will
