Associated Press Special Wlra
BERLIN, Oct. 19.—Copyrighted, 1895,
by the Associated Press.—The enthusiasm
which has been aroused in Alsace-Lor
raine by the presence there, during the
past week of the emperor and empress of
Germany, has pleased his majesty great
ly. At chateau d'Urville, for instance,
while the throng of people; outside was
thickly lining all approaches to the castle
and cheering vociferously, the emperor
remarked to General Yon Haanke: "This
looks indeed as it this has become once
more German soil."
The empress' manner throughout was
pleasant and urbane in the extreme and
the kin 1 words which the empress ad
dressed to the deputation of the ladies
from Metz seemed to make a deep inir
persaion upon them.
While going over the battlefields around
Metz, his majesty requested no explana
tion, having studied the ground thor
oughly so as to be familiar with every
foot of it, naming at a glar.ce the villag»s,
fjrms and hills dotting the country, re
marking: "That was where the brave
Forty-sixth lost so many men, etc."
The fact that not a single member of
the Bavarian royal house was invited to
the fates at Woert.i was much commented
upon and especially as the late emperor
Frederick personally commanded the Ba
varian troops during the war and the lat
ter shared largely in the triumph of the
German arms at the battle of Woertb.
The official press furnishes no satisfac
tory explanation of the fact.
Politically the chief event of the week
has been the visit of Prince Lobanoff-
Kostovsky to HuberstOOk, Emperor Will
iam's shooting box, which is held to be
a fact of prime importance.
Commenting on this visit well-inform
ed officers said to a representative of the
Associated Press: "TbU visit is much
more than one of courtesy. It is intend
ed to show France and the rest ot Europa
that the new ruler of Russia means to
entertain friendly relations with Ger
many. CountJ Lobanoff-Rostovsky left
Gurmany with the conviction that tbis
country's policy is'a'n outspoken, frank
policy of peace. 'Ho was also enlightened
regarding the relations between Germany
and Austria. During the audience, tbc
emperor repeatedly assured Count Loban
off-rtostovtskv of Germany's keen desire
to maintain friendly relations with Rus
sia, and during the dinner which follow
ed his majesty again referred to this sub
ject, remarking in drinking to his guest
that he hoped the misunderstandings of
t.ie past would be forgotten and that they
would not recur."
In order to praotically tsst the avail
ability of fast passenger steamers, tho
government bos chartered the Hamburg-
American line steamship Normannia.aud
during the autumn and winter will use
her in dispatch and reconnoitering
service. Four naval officers and a score
of other naval men will be detailed on
beard of her, in addition to the Nornian
nia's regular crew.
A regimentof German infantry will re
ceive Bix bicycles of the most improved
construction for use during tho army
maneuvers and future use in time of war
should there be ncceisitv for them.
Ibe passage of tne speech which Herr
ljiobknecht made before the socialist con
gress at Breslau, for which be is cnarged
witli lese majeste, referred to some re
cent remarks of his majesty which thu
socialist leader described as "an utter
once bred partly by ridiculous conceit
and patrly oy burning hatred."
The editor of the Hanover socialist
journsl, which was tho only publication
which dared to print the above remark,
has also Deen arrested ana charged with
lese rosjeftto. It is the government's
manifest intention to deal severely with
Herr Liebknecht and also, if possible, to
suppress the socialist organ, Vorwaterts.
by legal police interference. At a pub
lic meeting held in the pantheon at
l.eipsic. on Tuesday last, at which Herr
Liebknecht was the chief speaker, the
meeting was stopped and the audience
was dispersed by the police after the ora
tors had been speaking twenty minutes.
The Emperor Frederick Memorial
church will be dedicated on Monday next
in the presence of the emperor, and on
the twentv-iifth anniversary of the capit
ulation of Metz, Octooer 27th, as a
memorial to Prince Frederick Charles,
who captured the city of Metz. will ba
celebrated in grand style. The recruits
of the guard- corns will swear allegiance
the same day. A dinner will also be
given.
The emperor has conferred the honor of
a special gala court uniform upon the
senators of the Berlin academy of line
arts. The uniform closely resembles toe
costumes of the veteran senators.
Herr Xoltner's two-act opera, Die
tlebrefal, based upon an episode of the
war of 1870 71, was performed this week
at Munich.
The experiences with the military ser
vice, according to statements credited to
General Brousart yon Ziepelldorf, the
minister of war, are unfavorable, and tho
matter, it is claimed, will bo brought
before the ,'eicnstag.
Yielding to*2tba [advice ofj his friends
and lawyers, Mr. Louis Stern of New
York, it is understood, has reconsidered
his intention of forfeiting his bail, 80,001
marks, and now intends to undergo the
two wesks' imprisonment to which lie
was sentenced, in addition to a line, for
insulting Baron Tuellgen, deputy com
missioner of tbe spa at Kisaencen. In
this case, Mr. Stern will undergo his
sentence in the state prison at Shwein
furtb.
Mr. Henry Gilbert, the United States
consul at Liege, Belgium, announces his
engagement to Miss Mar&aret Bulow,
daughter ot tne Prussian general and
sister of an officer of the guard corps.
The family is wealthy, and Mias Bulow
ha., a dot of 120,000 marks.
The merchants of Sonneberg are much
offended about the reports in circulation
in American papers of tbe alleged utter
ances of Mr.Dwigbt J. Parolli.the United
States consul at that place, in which he
is quoted as bavins charged them with
lystcniatic undervaluation of goods
which tuor have exported to America,
thus avoiding payment of duty. Mer
chants have organized for the purpose of
forcing Mr. Parolli to retract, and in or
der to obtain other satisfaction they will
interview him on his return to his post
from America. Meanwhile they have ap
pealed for redress to the United States
consul-general at Frankfort on the Main,
in whose territory Sonneberg is situated.

DEATH OF JOHN MACKAY, JR.
A Fractious Horse Gels Beyond His
Rider's Control
Mackay Is Dashed Against a Tree and the
Injuries Received Cause the Young
Han's Death
PARIS, Oct. 19 —The tollowing paitio
ulars of (lie death of John W.MacKay,jr.,
have been obtained. For some days past
Mr. Mackay and two friends, Messrs.
Lynch ana Digby, iisve been trying some
horses, whoh they had lately purchased,
over hurdles and ditches on a course laid
out by Mr. Mackay on the estate of the
duke of Gramont, department of Sarthe,
which he bad rented. Contrary to the ad
vice of his friends, Mr. Mackay yesterday
mounted a particularly restive horse
which had been ridden before by Mr.
Lynch on Thursday. As a result the
horse bolted from the track and rushed
through the thickets. Mr. Mackay suc
ceeded in dodging several of the trees,but
he was finally overcome by the exertion,
lust all consrol of his horse, reeled in the
saddle sud finally collided with fearful
torce against a tree, which he struck with
his head. The collision hurled him to
the ground, and when his friends rushed
to the spot they found him suffering from
ghastly wounds in the head, both of h ! s
eyes being crushed. All immediate at
tempts to restore the unfortunate young
man to consclounsess proved futile, and
he was carried home and the doctors were
called.
The latter, after three hours of atten
tion, succeeded in restoring their patient
to consciousness, hut he had several re
lapses and expired at 9:l»0, after shaking
hands with and saying good-bv to all
his friends, whom he recognized by the
sound of their voices. His last farewell
was to a favorite dog which would not
leave his bedside. No member of the
Mackay family was prssent at the death
bed.
Mr. Lynch came to Paris to inform Mr.
Clarence Mackay, brother of tne dead
r.'.an, of the terrible accident and suc
ceeded in persuading him not to go to the
castle, whejo the remains rested.
Mrs. John \V. Mackay left Paris on a
trip to Normandy, but she is expected
back in Paris at tiny moment, when the
sad news will be broken to her.
The body will be embalmed and
brought to I'aris on Monday next, after
which it will be exposed to the view of
the friends of the family in a chapellc
ardont at Mrs. Mackay's residence on the
Hue Tilsitt.
SAN FKANCISCO, Oct. 19.—John W.
Mackay struggled with grief today. Ho
remained secluded in his rooms at tho
I'alnce hotel all day. The clerks at the
counter were given instructions to send
no cards to bis apartments and but few
of the many people who called to see him
during the day were admitted to his
chambers. Cornelius O'Connor, Herman
Oeirichs and Manager Storror of the
Mackay-Bennett Cable company were
about the only people who saw the
stricken millionaire during tho day.
Mr. Mackay was not only prostrated by
grief but was also worn out physically,
for bo remained at tho ottice of the cable
company or waited in his room until an
early hour this morning toobtain further
news from I'aris of tho death of his eld
est son.
On account nf tho grief of the father not
much could be learned today of his in
tentions regarding the inteiment of his
son's remains. Directions were sent to
i'aris to have the body embalmed. It
will probably be brought to this country
and buried either in New York or San
Francisco. It is likely that young
Mackay's grave will Lo in this country,
for this city was his oirthplace and ho
took great pride in the fact that ac was a
California!!.
Both sons, In fact, were very proud of
their American parentage. When tbe
young men were here some time ago,
"Willie" frequented the University
club, whore ba had a number of ac
quaintances. He often said there and at
other places that he would like to make
this city Ins home. Though he had been
educated in England ami much of bis life
bad been passed abroad, he was infatu
ated with tbe city ot his birth and was
anxious to remain here. Young Mackay
is described by those who Knew him in
this city as a reserved, unpretentious
gentleman. Though bis father is one of
the rich men of the oartn and the master
of vast interests, and though the son per
sonally held a very prominent and im
portant position in tbe commercial world,
he was ot simple and unaffected habits.
He won many Iriends here, for be was a
bright young man who displayed a great
aptitude for business. He was intensely
American, a fact that was well-known
abroad. If be had lived Willie would have
Been bis father's successor in Dusiness.
Though only 25 yean old he was trusted
greatly by bis father, who saw in him
evidenoes of great business ability. He
was a graduate of Oxford univsisity,
England, and for some time after leaving
college represented his father's interests
abroad. On November 14, 1890, he was
appointed president and genersl managei
of the American Fortecito Powder Manu
facturing company. He was also a di
rector and a mem net of the executive
committee of the Commercial Cable catn

THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD
Considers the Case of the Con-
tumacious Minister
NO CONCLUSION ARRIVED AT
There Arc Lively Discussions Upon
Dr. Howard Will Address the San Jose Y. M.
C. A., Which May Be More
Contumacy
SAN" JOSE, Oct. 19.—At tbe session of
the Presbyterian synod this morning the
commission appointed to bear the com
plaints and appeals regardinu the First
churuh at Los Angeles met, W. R. Noble
presiding.
The deposed pastor, Rev. B. E. How
ard, was represented by Attorney Gal
breath nnu Revs. Criig and Henderson.
The first quostion before the commission
was whether the appeals of Howard from
alleged errors made by the synod of Los
Angeles should be entertained. The en
tire forenoon was occupied in warmly
discussing this question without arriving
at any decision.
The afternoon session of the synod was
a lively one. The discussions on reports
were exceedingly heated.
The committee on narrative and home
rjissions reported and the reports were
adopted. The committee on mileage re
ported in favor of the payment to mem
bers of $1,219.10. The report was odopted.
Tho presbytery of Los Angeles presented
an overture asking to have all lawful
means taken to innke the state synod a
representative body upon such a basis
as shall be approved by the presbyteries
and asked to have committees appointed
to carry out the object. Tiie committee
on overtures reported in favor of the sug
gestion and after one of the most heated
debates of the session, some of tbe oppo
sition characterizing it as gag law, the
overture was laid on the table, which
effectually killed it for this season. It is
evident, 'however, that another deter
mined fight will b3 made in the noxt
synod to secure ths adoption of the plan
suggested by Los Angelcr.
The seminary committee recommended
the adoption of Rev. Frazior's resolution
to the extent that one minister and one
elder be appointed from each presbytery
to compose a board of commissioners to
have entire control of tne San Francisco
theological seminary. The motion to
adopt brought forth another heated dis
cussion and some sharp and lively talk
which occupied tbe time allowed for dis
cussion, and further hearing was post
poned until Monday at 2 p. ra.
Dr. Howard has consented to deliver an
address in Y. M. C. A. hall tomorrow
afternoon, and this msy nave some sig
nificant meaning, both to the doctor and
the synod of California, for tbe res sen
that the Los Angeles synod has officially
and emphatically declared that tbe de
posed pastor shall not under any circum
stances speak or take part in public ser
vices.
The moderator, appointed Revs. John
Hemphill, S. S. Palmer and J. X. Mc-
Lean, Elders G. C. McConnell and
F rank Walker a committee to attend the
examination! it San Francisco Theolog
ical seminary.
This evening at the Second cburch a
popular meeting was held at which Rev.
H. 0. Minton talked of home missions
and Rev. John Hemphill on foreigh mis
sions. Tomorrow the pulpits of the
churches in San Jose, Santa Clara and
Los Gntos will bs tilled by assignments
from the synod.
At 8 p.m. a mass meeting of the Young
People's society will be held in the First
church, at which Revs. J. E. Wheeler
and R. F. Coyle will deliver addresses.
This alternoon wis occupied by the
commission appointed to bear complaints
ami appeals regarding the First cburch
at Los Angeles, in discussing technical
ities as to appeals with the result that

FORTY YEARS OF POLITICS
Raises a Tempest in the Re-
publican Teapot
DE VOUNu ON SHERMAN
He Denies tbe Assertions of Corrupt
Bargaining
The Senator'! Blighted Ambition to Be Pres
ident Responsible tor the Bitter an J
Unjust Criticism
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10.-M. H. do
Young, vice-chairman of the Republican
national committee, makes several crit
icisms of Senator Sheramn's new book
entitled Recollections of Forty Years in
the House, Senate and Cabinet.
"If I had a political enemy," said Mr.
do Young ,"I should be pleased to have
him write a book. Senator Sherman errs
where ne sayo that one man controlled
the New York delegation to the Repnbi
can convention of 1888 and that a corrupt
bargain was made in the interest of Har
rison during an interview between the
adjournment of the convention and Satur
day night and tne time when it leassem
bled on the next Monday morning. In
tiie tiist plaoe the Now York delegation
was controlled by Warner Miller, Frank
Hiscock, Chauncy Dcpew and Thomas
C. I'latt, It was well known when the
convention assembled that tho New York
delegation was for Depew lirst and Har
rison second. I was working tor Hlaine,
so when Dcpew withdrew f?om the "gut
on Friday 1 moved to adjourn until the
next day in order to prevent a stampede
to Harrison. The New York delegates
were firm tor Harrison as a second choice,
however, and he received their support
without a corrupt baraglll havine been
made as Senator Sherman alleges."
Mr. do Younj said tho senator's criti
cism of Garfield was cruel, as it was not
justified by facts.
"I believe many of the harsh state
ments in tho book may be attributed to
Senator Sherman's disappointed ambi
tion—the persidjncy,' said Mi.de Young.
"In this connection it may be said
that the senator's ambition would proba
bly have been realized long ago if he
had not taken such an extreme stand in
favor of a gold standard.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. Id.—To an Asso
ciated Press reporter, A. J. Aitkins of
tbe Evening Wisconsin said today:
"I attended the national Republican
convention that nominated James A.
Garfield for president in 1880, and was
present at all sessions. I heard all tho
nominating speeches, and remember the
speech of Mr. (iarlield nominating John
Sherman in behalf of the Ohio delega
tion. The opening of this speech was
such that no man who heard it can for
get it. Not only the matter but the man
ner of Mr. Garneld m the opening of his
speech indicated great zeal, truthfulness
and earnestness in his nomination of
Senator Sherman. 'Iliero was no sentence
in any of the speeches comparable in my
idea to the opening sentence of that
speech. The balloting went on from day
to day until the thirty-sixth ballot,
when Mr. Garfield was nominated with
a whoop and hnrrih.as every one icnows.
The night before bis nomination 1 called
upon Mr.Garfield with a view to securing
his consent to accept the nomination if
tendered to him. Mr. Garfield, in reject
ing all overtures, could not be mistaken
by any man who heard such an interview
as 1 had with him, and it is due to the
truth of history and the momory of Mr.
Garliebl that be made no trade or ar
rangement by which lie should receive
the nomination. Ho was taken up by
the wbl'lwfnd as autumn leavts and car
ried lntu the presidential cbair.'
COLUMBUS, 0., Oct.l!). —Kx-Governor
Foraker. being asked what he knew or
thought about Senator Sherman s new
boak, replied :
"I have not seen the book. Ido not
know anything abont its contents, but
if, as stated in the newspapers, it criti
cizes prominent Republicans, I sm sorry
the proof sheets coulu not have been
withheld until after the election."

CINCINNATI, Oct. I.—Hon. W. A.
Bnterua'*, who was one of the delegates at
large to the national Republican conven
tion of 1880 from Ohio, and who has been
a close friend of Senator riuerman
in all the letter's contests for the presi
dential nomination, returned from Bos
ton tonight. He line been in communi
cation with Senator Sherman during the
writing of the senator's book and is im
pressed with the couservativo reference
to the national conventions at which
Sonator Sherman was defeated. Mr.
liateman was the manager of Senator
Sherman's interests for a year or more
prior to the convention of 1880. It is ev
ident from his reasons for not suomit
ling to a formal interview tnat he has ev
idence of General Garfield's course prior
to the assembling of the convention of
188U, which shows that the general was
then active ill his own interests instead
o' thoje of Snerinan, to whom he was
pledred personally as well as by the in-
Siruct'ons of the Republican convention.
It is stated that letters are still In exist
ence in whioh General Garfield, before
going to the convention, wrote earnestly
to those wtio were working for his nomi
ntion.
In one letter General Garfield asked a
distinguished Republican of Pennsyl
vania whether the latter thought it
would hurt the former's prospects for
General Garfield to go to the Chicago
convention at the head of the Shetman
forces. The party advised him to go to
the convention.' present Senator Sher
man's name and fight the Conkling plan
for thenomination of General Grant.
Th« delegates at large from Ohio in 1880
were Geneial Garfield, Governor Foster,
ex-Governor Dannison and Mr. Bate
man.
There were many reports at the time
about the "big four" not pulling to
gether, that Garfield was a candidate for
the nomination himself; that Foster was
a candidate for vice-president on the
ticke with Blame anil that ex-Governor
Dennison, who had been In Lincoln's
cabinet, was a candidate for vice-presi
dent on the ticket with Grant, and that
Ml. Bateman was the only one who was
sincerely working for Sherman without
regard to himself. Mr. Bateman said
that ex.Governor Dennison was called on
repeatedly at the Chicago convention in
1880, oefore the balloting commenced, hy
the Grant men and offered the second
placo on the ticket. Governor Dennison
declined, but also stated most emphati
cally that he would nut accept the nomi
nation and could not in honor do so, as
he was then pledged to Senator Sherman
as the only Ohio candidate before the con
vention, Garfield and Foster did not at
tend the meetings and conferences of
Dennison and Bateman with the other
Ohio delegates, and there was at the time
no secret among the other delegates as to
the attitune of these two delegates at
large. The only tning that is brought
out now hy he publication of Sherman's
book is the reference to letters tnat Gar
field wrote to certain friends in his own
interest before leaving for the Chicago
convention in 1880. It is generally be
lieved that Mr. Bateman has an accumu
lation of evidence on the defeat of Sher
man.

from Tokio:
The World correspondent ib authorized

Japanese soldiers escorted the Tai Won
Kan to the palace and failed to preserve

General Miuri, Japanese ministor to
Cores, is chargeable with gross negli
gence if nothing more.
The conduct of the entire Japanese
legation at Seoul during the disturbances
and also of tho guards and the police

THE DEFENSE OF DURRANT
Will Be Again Resumed on
Monday Next
TWELFTH WEEK IN COURT
Attorney Deuprey Has Recovered Health
and Strength
And Will (lake • Desperate Effort to Save
Mis Client's Neck-The Testimony
Foreshadowed
Associated Press ■ neolal wire.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oot. 19.-Th«
twelfth week of what Is, in many re
spects, the most remarkable murder trial
in the history of the far west.'will begin
Monday morning. If no unforeseen «ii
cuinstances intervene the trial will pro
ceed without further interruption to ita
conclusion.
Attorney Deuprey has so far recoveed
as to make certain his attendance in
court Monday, thougti it is more than
probable that he will shift the burden of
the examination of witnesses to the
shoulders of his associate, AttorneyJDick
iuson, so that tie may oetter husband bis
physical and mental powers for the final
plea to the jury on behalf of Durrant.
The week just closed has proved a boon
to counsel for both sides. The long strain
had tsxed their endurance to the utmost.
The effect ol the week of relaxation will
no doubt bo apparent when the business
of taking testimony is again resumea.
Both Bides have been asked as to the
time required to finish the case and from
the most careful estimates it now seems
certain that a fortnight will elapse Defore
the jury is asked to consider the evidence
and render a verdict.
Durrant's attorneys are still figuring on
the possibility of the Rev. J. George Gib
son being implicated in the murder of
Blanche Lamont. They make no direct
accusations against trio minister, nor oo
they connect his name with the church
crime. They merely say his handwritinc
j is strikingly similar to "that on the paper
I wrapper which enclosed Blanche La
! mont's rings. Tne defense intends to
I make the most of the alleged similarity
lof Dr. Gibson's writing and that on the
[ paper. They will put no handwriting ex
' perts on the stand to swear that Dr. Gib
| son's haiulwr'.ltng is identical with that
on the paner sent to Mrs. Noble, but the
significance of the similarity will be en
larged upon in vlie arguments for the de
fense.
