Personal Motives.
Associated Press Dispatches.
Berlin, May 2.—[Copyrighted, 18U1,
by the New York Associated Press.1 —
The prospect of Bismarck's early reap
pearance in reichstag has given an im
petus to the government's plans for the
conciliation of the various parties so as
to render them ready to coalesce in the
government's interests. The Centre and
Freisinnige parties and the Guelphs and
Poles in turn receive government in
ducements. The recently developed
tendencies of the government towards
the conciliation of the Poles, are justly
to be ascribed in part to a quickened
sense of justice in dealing with them.
Whatever mixed motive may animate
the government, the Poles of western
Prussia and Posen have been favorably
influenced by the freer use of their na
tional language in schools; by greater
facilities affored them for the acquire
ment and sate of land, and by increased
courtesy afforded by the officers to Pol
ish families.
Today's debate in the lower house of
the diet, on the commission for the Ger
man colonization of Western Prussia,
occasioned remarks touching the govern
ment's policy in Posen, and provoked
Chancellor Yon Caprivi to explain. He
denied that the government had con
ceded to the Poles anything beyond
what came within the scope of the settle
ment law ; it had met the wishes of the
Poles as regards both school and church.
The Poles, on their part, had mani
fested a desire to bring themselves into
closer accord with the government.
This, the chancellor said, was indeed a
pleasant and surprising change. If the
Poles would like to lead upon the path
of reconciliation, the government and
Germans were ready to follow.
Bismarck's victory is modified by the
fact that he polled 2UOO fewer votes than
did his National Liberal predecessor.
The socialist ballot was reinforced by
over one thousand GuelphistaFreieinnige
voters, whose hatred of the prince ex
ceeded their dislike of the Socialists.
The prince in an interview on the eve of
the reballot, declared that if he went to
the reichstag he would never attack
any policy directly initiated by the
emperor, and that his line of conduct
would be the same as that followed by
him since he left Berlin. He was con
vinced that the greatest danger to the
Fatherland was not from without, but
within. He would not refrain from ex
posing it, but he certainly would never
say anything to give his opponents rea
son to charge him with attacking the
emperor from personal motives. This
eort of assurances, promises lively times
in the reichstag.
The Hamburger Nachrichten holds
that the death of Yon Moltke adds to
the desire of Germany to see Bismarck
in the forefront of politics. "A senti
ment of disquiet," says the Nachrichten,
"fills the empire. The future is uncer
tain. The new men into whose hands
have been confided the destinies of the
fatherland, cannot reassure the coun
try."
The Freisinnige and Centrist press is
indignant at this language.
The Austro-German plenipotentiaries
will sign the treaty of commerce at Vi
enna tomorrow.
The American 'department of the in
ternational art exhibition is a thorough
success.
The appoint merit of Lieutenant Clarke
oi the United States cavalry, to serve
with the Dusseldorf Hussars, has evoked
approving comments from the press.
The Vossiesche Zeitung says it is the
first case of the kind, and ought to be
recognized by America as a proof and
pledge of the warm feelings which those
in the highest station in the German
empire entertain towards the common
wealth.
OKI,AM A'l'KK'S DANGER.
Prison Doors Opening; to Receive Matt
Quay's Hencliman.
Meadville, Pa., May 2. —The propo
sition of Delamater & Co. to settle with
their creditors on a 50 per cent, basis
has fallen through. Ex-Senator Dela
mater today stated that the terms of
the proposition had not been complied
with, and the friends who had proposed
to assist him in making the first pay
ment would not consent to have the
time for securing the signatures of the
remainder of the creditors extended.
The members of the firm of Delamater
& Co. were arrested on complaint of a
small depositor this evening, and bail
furnished in the sum of $300 each. It is
rumored that an attempt will be made
by repeated arrests to exhaust his bail
and finally get the ex-senator in jailf
A DELICATE MATTER.
Blame and Foster Have Tlieir Heads To
gether on the Seal Question.
Washington, May 2.—Secretaries
Blame and Foster had a long conference
today on the subject of seal fisheries.
Secretary Foster submitted a rough
draft of the instructions prepared for
the guidance of the agent at the Seal
islands, and for the revenue cutter Rush,
the coming season. He declined this
evening to indicate the nature of the in
structions in either case, but said the
matter was such a delicate one that the
utmost pains are being taken in prepar
ing the instructions, so as not to trench
on treaty rights or agreements.
Arms for Chile.
Washington, May 2.—Assistant Sec
retary Spaulding has telegraphed to the
collector at Wilmington, Cal., that
there is no reason for interference in
the matter of the transfer of certain
arms and ammunition from the Ameri
can schooner Robert and Minnie, to a
LOS ANGELES HERALD.
transport for reshipment to South
America. Tlie telegram of the collec
tor, asking the advice of the treasury
department in the matter, is not very
explicit as to where the arras came
from or for what port they are intended,
but it is supposed they are for the
Chilean government or insurgents of
that country.
THE S A YW A Kl> CASE.
Counsel For the Canadian Government
File Another Brief.
Washington, May 2.—Messrs. Choate
and Carlisle, counsel for the Canadian
governnlent in the Bering sea case, have
prepared a supplementary brief in the
nature of a rejoinder to the brief of the
attorney general. In it counsel reiter
ate the assertion that the seizure of the
Say ward was without warrant of law, or
under the executive construction of the
revised statutes. The claim is made
that all the courts are inferior to the
supreme court, and subject to its man
damus or prohibition. The only real
question in the case, they say, is, has
the United States jurisdiction of the
conduct of foreign vessels in the waters
of the Bering sea, more than a marine
league from its shores? After discus
sing the objection of the attorney gen
eral to examination by the supreme
Court of the entire proceedings of the
Alaska district court, counsel say the
only question with which this court is
called upon to concern itself, is that of
the jurisdiction of the district court.
Referring to the statement of the attor
ney-general that the claimant did not
apply for a writ of prohibition before
sentence, counsel say the petitioner
could not apply for "want of time, the
whole proceedings from libel to sen
tence, being completed in six days, and
at a time when the supreme court was
not in session. Counsel continned at
length there is nothing in the evidence
to show that the seals were killed within
the three-mile limit, and quote from the
evidence to prove that assertion. In
conclusion counsel asserted that there
can be no doubt that the seizure was
made without reference to acts com
mitted within three miles of the main
land, or the adjacent islands.

have been destroyed. Hie residents of
a small hamlet and a charcoal colony
in the midst of these pines, fled for their
lives, losing all their property. All the

after doing damage of about $100,000.
Bradford, Pa., May 2.—The sawmill
and general store of H, S. Southard, at
White Gravel, were burned tonight, in

Associated Press Dispatches.
London, May 2. —Turbulence contin
ues in the mining districts of France
and Belgium. In Saring and Liege, in
Belgium, determined attempts were
made by the strikers to prevent any
men who refused to join their
ranks from working. When non
strikers attempted to work they
were attacked by strikers with
stones and other missiles. The gen
darmes were compelled to invoke aid of
the military. At Harloz colliery in St.
Nicholas, the soldiers were ordered out,
and several strikers wounded.
During a riot on Friday at Bekes,
Hungary, a number of enraged pea
sants made a savage attack
and severely injured the chief
magistrate of the place, for prohibiting
May-day demonstrations. Upon the
military coming to the rescue, a sharp
affray took place, and many rioters
were wounded. The fighting caused
the greatest excitement, and the author
ities were compelled to declare the
place in a state of seige. All the shops
are closed, and latest reports say the
people are still wildly excited.
Brussels, May 2.—ln spite of the
manifesto issued by the council of the
workingmen's party, urging working
men not to go out on a strike, pending
the decision of the chamber, in regard
to the demands being made through
out Belgium for universal suffrage,
30,000 miners and 4000 iron workers
in the Charleroi district have struck
work. At Liege a large procession of
workers had a collision with the police,
and many people were injured.
A conflict took place in Mous tonight
between gendarmes, and the officers
opened fire upon the rioters, two of
whom were seriously wounded.
Rome, May 2. —In the deputies today,
amid noisy interruptions, Nicotera, Min
ister of the Interior, recounted the
events of May day, and read telegrams
to show that the country was tranquil.
The troubles in Roue, he said, were due
to Anah Lamdi, who had been sent
expressly from Paris to incite
disturbances. Imbriani provoked a
storm of protests by persisting, in the
face of Nicotera'B denial, that an officer
was brutally attacked at Barzelar. The
turmoil caused the president to suspend
the sitting until tomorrow, when the
government wiHdemand an explicitvote
of confidence.
Paris, May 2. —Further particulars of
the labor riot at Fournies, yesterday, go
to show that three people were killed
outright by the fire of the soldiers, and
a number of others wounded, four of
whom have since died. The soldiers,
acting under their officers' instructions,
and in order to avoid taking life, fired
low, with the result that many of the
limbs of rioterß have been amputated.
St. Petersburg, May 2.—The funeral,
today, of Schelgouna, a well known
Russian political economist, was made
the occasion of a great demonstration.
Students of both sexes marched through
the main thoroughfares, in defiance of
the police and many were later arrested.
Reports are received here that riotous
and revolutionary meetings have been
held in Warsaw, the capital of Russian
Poland.
Rome, May 2. —Two hundred persons
were placed under arrest in connection
with the labor day disorders here. A
gendarme wounded yesterday while
quelling a riot, died this morning from
the effect of his injuries. Many Btores
were closed today, as it was feared there
would be more trouble.
London, May 2.—Ten thousand car
penters and joiners met today in Hyde
park in support of four thousand mem
bers of those trades who struck today
for forty-seven hours work per week,
and ten pence per hour, as wages.
A LITTLE MORE TREACLE.
President Harrison Once More Praises
California's Hospitality.
San Fbancisco, May 2.—At the close
of the reception at the Union League
club, tonight, President Harrison was
presented a solid gold plate fac-simile of
the card of invitation, beautifully enam
eled with the crest of the state of Cali
fornia and the flag of the union. In ac
cepting it, the president said: "Cali
fornia is full of ambuscades, not of a
hostile sort, but with all the embarrass
ments that attend surprise. In a hasty
drive this afternoon, when I
thought I was to visit Oak
land, I was suddenly drawn up in
front of a college and asked to make an
address, and a moment after arrived be
fore an asylum for the deaf, dumb and
blind, the character of which I did not
know until the carriage stopped in front
of it. All this taxes the ingenuity, as
your kindness moves the heart, of one
who is making a hurried journey through
California. I do not need such sou
venirs as this to keep fresh in
my heart this visit to your state.
It will be pleasant, however,
to show to others, who have not
participated in this enjoyment, this rec
ord of a trip that has been very eventful,
aud one of perpetual sunshine and hap
piness. Ido not think I could have en
duied the labor and toil of travel, unless
I had been borne up by the inspiration
and hearty good will of your I
know not what will become of me when
it is withdrawn. I fear I shall need a
vigorous tonic to keep up to the high
level of enjoyment and inspiration which
your kind treatment has given me. I
thank you for this pleasant social enjoy
ment, and this souvenir of it."
Another Kipper Suspect.
New York, May 2.—The police au
thorities at Jamaica, L. 1., have a man
m custody supposed to be the missing
C. Knicklo, who accompanied Carrie
Brown to the hotel on the night of the
murder. He aswers the description
aad had blood stains on his clothes, but
vigorously protests that he is Charles
Holland, of Rye, N. Y.
A PLEA FOR PROTECTION.
A» Italian Citizen Arraid of the Walla*
Vengeance.
New Orleans, May 2.—Mayor Shake
speare today received a petition from
Philip J. Paterno, asking police protec
tion. The petitioner states that a year
ago he was taken sick, and being a
member of the Giovanni Bersaglieri
society, he demanded medical aid and
cash relief to which he was entitled. A
portion of the cash relief was refused,
and he brought suit. He asserted that
for this he was assaulted with a danger
ous weapon and summoned to appear on
trial for violating the rules of the soci
ety. He fears another attempt will be
made to do him bodily harm. Although
of Italian nativity, he is now an Amer
ican citizen and wants protection. He

blood." He asks, if killed, to look for
his assassin among his brothers Anto
nia, Giovanna, Lascuola and one Digio
vanni.
IS HAMILTON DEAD?
A Sensational Story of a Year Ago Re
vived.
Cheyenne, Wyo., May 2.—Thomas
Coopea, a guide just in from Jackson's
hole, revives the story of suspicious cir
cumstances in connection with Robert
Ray Hamilton's death. He says no
identification of the body found was ever
attempted, and that many people in that
vicinity believed that a body from some
medical college was shipped there,
dressed in Hamilton's clothes and
dumped in the river, with circumstan
tial evidence carefully planned to make
an apparently reliable story of Hamil
ton's death.
STRIKERS CELEBRATING.
THE STRIKING COKE WORKERS'
RANKS AUGMENTING.
Free Distribution of Money Induces More
Men to Quit Work-A Strike Impending
in St. Louis—Labor Notes.
Scottdale, Pa., May 2.—The strikers
are celebrating tonight over the with
drawal of at least 500 men from various
plants. This was brought about by the
free disbursement of money. Their
funds are improving, Clearfield and
other regions having voted to make an
assessment on the coal mined, for their
benefit. The operators are not idle,
however, and labor is being steadily im
ported to Jake the places of the de
serters.
Pittsburg, May 2.—Of 3600 carpen
ters in this district, who struck for
eight hours and an increase in wages,
about half were working today at their
terms. All the miners in the Pittsburg
district will return to work Monday.
Their scale has been adjusted.
Duluth, Minn., May 2.—Nearly all
the men employed on the city contract
street work, about 400, went out today,
demanding $2 instead of $1.50 per day.
St. Louis, May 2.—The carpenters
tonight received word that the master
builders would not concede the advance
in w ages demanded. It is likely that
Monday will see one of the most disas
trous strikes in the building trades that
ever occurred in this city.
Denver, May 2.- The brick makers
employed on the Davis & Larimar com
pany's brick yards have gone out on a
demand for shorter hours. Tonight
when the strikers attempted to enter the
premises, a collision between the officers
and men occurred, during which about
30 shots were fired, but no one was hurt.
More trouble is expected.
JUDGE TAFT DYING.
The Veteran Diplomat Dangerously 111
at San Diego.
San Diego, May 2.—For several days
past Judge Alphonse Taft has been quite
ill at his home in this city. His physic
ian reports him much improved this
evening. Judge Taft's illness is the re
sult of infirmities brought on by many
years of very active life.
Cincinnati, May 2.—A special from
Washington to the Commercial-Gazette
says: Solicitor-General Taft was today
summoned from Washington to San
Diego, Cal., to the deathbed of his
father, Hon. Alphonse Taft, ex-secretary
of war and ex-minister to Austria and
Russia.

trying to recuperate his health. It was
on his return that he stopped at San
Diego.
