AN AURAL AFFECTION.
Emperor William's Ears Are
Kept Ting-ling by a Troub
lesome Tumor.
He Keeps In-Doors and Makes
His Ministers Work Like
Slaves.
A Socialistic Manifesto Pre-
diets a Struggle of Un-

Warring" Newspapers Disclose
Intense Austro-Hungarian
Jealousy of Germany.
Berlin, Dec. I.— The emperor's pro
longed absence from public life has
given rise to rumors that he is suffer
ing from an aural tumor, which is as
suming an aggravated form. Semi
official reports state that his illness is
simply a severe cold, contracted through
exposure during the recent hunt at
Hetzlingcn. No medical advice has
been sought beyond that of the house
hold physicians. The ear complaint
slightly increased during the height of
the catarrhal fever, but improved with
the return of normal health. Although
the weather is mild, the emperor is ad
vised to remain indoors for some days
to come. lie has been in excel
lent spirits and has been fit
for work throughout the week,
receiving visitors and trans
acting business just as usual. He em
ployed part of his enforced leisure in
elaborating the details of further army
and navy reforms. He kept his mili
tary cabinet very busy, demanding im
mediate reports on a variety of ques
tions. The officials of the cabinet find
his incessant activity something too
much for them. He keeps them work
ing sometimes night and day. insisting
that there be no delay in the reports ho
demands, his unvarying orders being to
reply in twenty-four hours. The ad
miralty officials share the excitement of
the war office, which has been especial
ly stimulated this week by messages
from the emperor referring to the naval
estimates, the details of which remain
unsettled.
THE emperor's ARDOR
extends into every other department.
He has held several conferences with
Prii Henry of Keuss, German em
bassador at Vienna, in regard to the
Interview with Count Yon Taafe. the
Austrian prime minister. He also gave
a private interview to a deputation of
officers on the matter of religious serv
ices for the soldiers. He saw Herr
Maybach. minister of public works, on
the railway extensions in Alsace and
Lorraine. . The emperor has ordered
the prosecution of several papers for
publishing that part of the late Em
peror Frederick's diary which related
to the Austro-Russian war besides the
Kieler Zeitung. a Freissinnige organ,
now prosecuted under the emperor's or
ders. He has every leading paper
dissected for him daily. He was
especially . irritated by the state
ment of Fieissinnige papers to the
effect that the Empress Victoria ex
clusively owned the diaries and all the
journals of the Emperor Frederick, in
cluding a number of unopened docu
ments which were secured by a private
seal, and which the ex-empress had de
posited in the royal archives. After
business the emperor has made the
evenings festive. There was a family
dinner" on Wednesday, at which were
resent Prince Leopold, the Duke and
Duchess of _lecklenburg-Schwerin and
officers and ladies of the court. On
Thursday* a banquet was given in honor
of Grand Duke and Grand Duchess
Vladimir, of Russia- and last evening a
reception was held, at which the same
guests were present. Altogether it
WAS A LIVELY" WEEK'S WORK
for a sick mail. To-day the emperor
ought to have gone on a hunt at
Springe, Hanover, but he sent Prince
Leopold in his stead. The reichstag
commission will begin to consider the
budget on Monday, and will sit daily in
order to report before Christmas. The
commission will hear privately more
a Mint the armaments than was- dis
c osed in open debate in the reichstag.
C lief of Admiralty Montz candidly
t »ld the reichstag that the memorandum
o i the navy was drawn up purposely so
tnat foreign nations might not learn
mire than was. necessary. The memo
rindum, he said, was an made
e juate representation of the projected
increase of the navy, but he promised
t > give full information to the commis
s on. Herr yon Bennigsen, comment
l ig on the estimates, showed that 116,
--0 '0,000 marks could not possibly cover
t ie cost of the building of twenty-eight
v *ssels. and that the armaments alone,
a tart from the increased expense for,,
cews, would necessitate additional ex
n nditure of 30.000,000 marks. The feel
i.i of distrust among members of the
reichstag regarding the
APPROPRIATION FOR ARMAMENTS
Is on the increase. The debate brought
oit the reminder that last year Gen.
Yon Caprivi, the predecessor of Vice
Admiral Count de Montz as chief of tho
admiralty, presented a memorandum to
the effect that the navy, although small,
was in the best of condition and able to
meet any demand that might be made
upon it in case of war. The members
of the reichstag now ask for what rea
son the government declares that not a
single ship is equal to modern require
ments? The budget is destined to a
Closer scrutiny and more opposition
thin seemed probable. Herr Lieb
kiecht's denunciation of the gov-.
ernment's foreign policy has found
n> sympathetic criticism, even
in the progressist organs, but Ids criti
c 'in of the invalid workmen's insur
a ice project will assuredly have an in
fl icnce in modifying the bill. A ma
s' irity of the members of the reichstag
a rce that the annuity secured to an mv
v lid or aged workman is insufficient.
N imerous petitions, signed by many
th msauds of workmen, have been pre
sented to the reichstag protesting
against both the meagerness of the
annuity and the lateness of age—sev
enty years— when it is claimable.
Workmen circles also fiercely oppose
the system proposed that each work
man' should carry a book for the re
cording of payments as apt to
BECOME A DANGEROUS WEAPON
in the hands of hostile employers. In
consequence of the general dislike the
measure will be withdrawn or altered.
A report that the government intends to
close the session in February and to dis
solve the house early in the autumn is
obtaining currency among the progress
ists and centrists, but is discredited by
the government groups. Herr Rickert,
accepting the report as probable, said he
deemed the time as opportune for tho
introduction of a motion to the effect
that the federal governments in
struct their agents to maintain
a more strict observance of : the
electoral law. He supported the motion
by citing numerous arbitrary arrests
during the last election, of distributors
of voting papers and others engaged in
legitimate electoral business. He also
showed to be illegal the prohibition and
dissolution of public meetings, which,
he said,
AMOUNTED .TO SUPPBESSION
of the right of electors to combine. The
socialists, Singer and Kroeber, con
firmed the statements of Herr Rickert,
declaring that government agents
everywhere interfered to wipe out the
socialists. Herr Marquardsen, national,
a 1 mitred the existence of tho grievance
denounced, and urged that, even in the
Interests of the government, an inquiry
would be useful. He, therefore, pro
posed that the motion be remitted
to the commission on the verifi
cation of elections. The house
assented by a largo majority.. A social-
Lit electoral manifesto predicts a strag
gle of unusual vehemence. It reminds
electors that the reichstag -. will be
elected, not for three years", as hereto
fore, but for five, and says that, by
virtue of the : resolutions of the Saint
Gall congress, socialist ' candidates;
should be nominated in every district
where ■ there are any adherents of the
party,' even if the chance of; election oe :
remote, in order to show the number of
socialists in : the empire. ' Tho social
ists, the manifesto further says, are
hopeful that the electorate is coming to
its senses, and will not again be scared
by the war phantoms evoked ' in 1387.
The issuance of the manifesto appears
to be rather premature. Tne term of
the reichstag: expires ; on Feb. 22. 1890.
Before then
WAlt'S STERNEST REALITIES
may enwrap Europe. In the meantime
the manifesto heralds greater activity
in socialist agitation, while the reich
stag's proceedings discourage police in
terference. This was seen in the. mar
velous toleration accorded to the social
ist workmen's demonstration last even
ing. At their meeting Her Yon Singer
made a strong speech, in which lie de
nounced the invalid workmen's insur
ance bill. The police dissolved the
meeting, but they did not interfere
with the street demonstration. A large
number of workmen formed in proces
sion and paraded the streets singing the
"Marseillaise." They crossed the U liter
der Linden and proceeded to residence
of Herr Yon Singer where they dis
persed. The police greedily watched the
procession, but did not make a single
arrest. Prince Bismarck will appear in
the reichstag on the occasion of the de
bate on colonial affairs. A hitch has
occurred with England over the East
Africa blockade agreement. Lord Sal
isbury's statement in the House of
Lords, that Germany did not intend to
combine her land and sea operations, is
in direct variance with the views of the
Berlin government. If Bismarck's
plans are effected, military action will
accompany a blockade and the stations
along the coast and for some distance in
the interior. The government holds
that a blockade alone would be futile.
The permanent possession of the coast
is the only means of
SUPPRESSING THE SLAVE TRADE,
besides enabling the government to ter
minate the blockade. Prince Henry of
Reuss left yesterday and returned to
his post at Vienna. " He has seen Prince
Bismarck, besides having a conference
with the emperor. The newspaper row
regarding the episode between Prince
Henry of Keuss and Count yon Taffe
has not affected the relations between
the governments. Prince Henry of
Keuss, before leaving Berlin, denied
that his relations with Count yon Taffe
had decreased in cordiality. It is cer
tain that Prince Bismarck would not
allow Prince Henry to remain at
Vienna if his presence tended to
weaken the alliance between the gov
ernment, or would Count Kalnoky
suffer the existence of an Austrian
premier who was conducting an in
trigue against his foreign policy. Count
yon Taffe has the intimate personal
confidence of Emperor Francis Joseph,
of whom he was an early playmate and
a close friend until Francis Joseph was
raised to the throne. He is a supporter
of Count Kilnoky's alliance nolicy,
though he recently admitted a czech
representation in the cabinet, owing to
internal necessities. The newspaper.
war has disclosed an intense Austro-
Hungarian
JEALOUSY OF GERMAN SUPREMACY.
The Vossische Zeitung having re
marked that Austria-Hungary must be
true to the alliance or she would cease
to exist, the Pesther Lloyd responded
that the Austrian empire was not a
German dependency and might re
nounce the alliance, becoming the cen
ter of aFraneo-Austro-Russian coalition
against Germany. The controversy is
deplored inofficial circles here, but it
delights the French press and enchants
the Russian press into dreaming of au
immediate rupture of the alliance. The
Warsaw Dnewrick yesterday predicted
that a combined Russo-Austrian force
would yet invade Germany, break up
the empire, and place Prussia on her
old level. Happily the discussion is
abating. A brief semi-official article in
the Fremdenblatt, which has hitherto
been silent on the subject, says that the
Government is an entire stranger to the
attacks made on Austrian personages in
the German press, and never abandons
its attitude of absolute neutrality
toward the internal affairs of other gov
ernments. Count Szecheuyi, Austrian
ambassador to Germany, who had been
enjoying a vacation in Hungary, has
had his leave of absence curtailed in
consequence of the newspaper dissen
sions. He was received in audience by
Emperor Francis Joseph yesterday,
when he was instructed to return to his
post. The origin of the dispute is trace
able to an article in the Vienna paper
Schwarigeld.
ASHES TO ASHES.
The Remains of Mrs. W. T. Sher-
man Laid at Rest.
St. Louis, "Dec. I.— At an early hour
this morning the friends of the late
Mrs. Gen. W.T. Sherman began to as
semble at the union depot to receive the
funeral party. George D. Capen, Gen.
Sherman's business agent and intimate
friend in this -city; Gen. A. E. Yeat
man, the managing pall bearer, and old
friend of the Sherman family; Mrs.
Judge Robert, a relative of Mrs. Sher
man, and Mrs Robert's son, were first at
the depot. The funeral train was due
at 7 o'clock, but was thirty-five minutes
late. Before its arrival, Henry Hitch
cock, R. C. Kerins, Gen. Beckwith,
Col. Moore and Capt. Hathaway
had joined the party. The train
entered the depot at 7:45, the
funeral party being in the private car of
President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
railroad. In the sleeper just forward
was Emmons Blame, son of James G.
Blame, who came in to attend the
funeral. The private car contained
Gen. W. T. Sherman, his sons, Thomas
Ewing Sherma , A. M. Ph. 8., of the
S.iciety of Jesus; Philip Tecumseh
Sherman, A. M. Ph. 8., his daughters,
Mrs. Minnie Fitch. Mrs. Ellen Sherman
Thackera, Miss Elizabeth Ewing Sher
man and Miss Rachel Ewing Sherman
and Judge P. B. Ewing, Gen. Henry
Ewing, Hugh Ewing, Jr., a young theo
io*rical student and George Ewing, a
voting attorney of Cincinnati, sons of
Gen. Hugh Ewing; Maj. Thackera
and Lieut. Fitch, sons-in-law of
the deceased; Mrs. Stael, a rela
tive, and Masters Fitch and
Steele. The car was detached and
the friends of the family then entered
it and paid tiieir respects to the mourn
ers, a special detail of police keeping
the crowd at a respectable distance
from the car. Rev. Father Fenlon paid
a brief visit to the car soon after the
arrival of the train. After breakfasting
at the depot, the funeral party returned
to the private car and remained until
time for the funeral cortege to move.
The pallbearers took charge of the cas
ket at 10:20 a. m. They were Maj. Gen.
John Pope, U. S. A.; Brig. Gen. John
B. Henderson, U. S. V.; Brig. Gen.
John W. Noble, U. S. V.; Maj. Henry
Hitchcock, U. S. V.; James E. Yeal
man, D. K. Ferguson, R. P. Tansey,
F. A. Drew. Theophile Papin and D. R.
Francis. These pallbearers were all
selected by Gen. Sherman himself,
who notified James E. Yeatman himself
by telegraph of the choice. Gen. Pope
spent three years at West Point with
Gen. Sherman, served with him in the
Mexican war and ■ was one of his most
intimate friends during and ever since
the war. Gen. John W. Noble was
under Sherman in the Army of the Ten
nessee. Gen. John B. Henderson was
associated with Gen. Sherman during
the early days of the war. Maj. Henry
itchcock marched with Sherman from
Atlanta to Goldsbovo. serving as his
judge advocate : general, and it was by.
him that the papers relating to the sur
render of Gen. Joseph Johnson were
drawn up. James A. Yeatmau was ' an
intimate friend of Gen. Sherman before
the war, and as:: president of ?.. the
Western Sanitary commission, main
tained close relations with him
and his army until 1863."
R. P. Tansoy was Gen. Sherman's next
door neighbor, and F. A. Drew and D.
R. Francis, governor-elect of Missouri,
were well acquainted with the family.
There were two wagon loads >of ■• floral
offerings at the hearse when the casket

was placed therein. The funeral party
entered carriages at the Poplar street
entrance of the depot and the cortege;
proceeded to St. Xavier's church, Grand;
and Lindell '; avenues. At the ' church.
the casket was borne to the alter, where
a bier with candelabras at the head and:
foot had been placed' to receive. The
■ church, was crowded;,;. When the family
and relatives were seated, Rev. Father
Bronsgeest,; the pastor, .came out from
the vestry and began; the celebration of
mass. In accordance with" the request
of deceased, the * celebration of : mass
was * followed by the * simple service
for V :. the dead, .■-, no • sermon *"* being
preached The music was the ordi
nary accompaniment: for such service.
The church was heavily draped. .At
the conclusion of the ; brief : service, the
casket was returned to the hearse and
the cortege . proceeded to Calvary cem
etery, where the services at the grave
were brief and ; simple. Gen. Sherman
lias two lots in Calvary cemetery. '■■ One
is a rectangular lot, in which ; his two
sons and three grandchildren are buried.
The other is a lot almost circular in
shape, which, until to-day was unten
anted. „ It '- adjoins the . other lot, and it
.was the wish of ■ the general that his
wive should be interred there. . A space
ten feet square has been reserved in the
center of the lot for a: monument, and
Mrs. Sherman's body placed in the
prettiest spot between tho "proposed
monument and the roadway in front of
the lot. Room has been left beside her
for her husband, who intends to be bur
ied there. A combination monument
for both is to be erected at some future

Special Cable to the Globe.
London, Dec. The British foreign
office has received a cablegram in
which the Marquis Tseng , denies the
report to the effect that, tired of the
perpetual intrigues of foreign officials
and of the consequent disturbances
among the people of Corea, he has pro
posed the neutralization of the penin
sula under a guarantee of the various
treaty powers. Marquis Tseng's view
has always been that China was the
suzerain of Corea; that foreign powers
had no interest there, and should there
fore be rigidly prevented from ac
quiring any beyond that given
to them by treaty with Chi
na's consent. The - fact, how
ever, that such a proposition is
generally accepted as one made by the
Marquis Tseny, and under discussion
by the Chinese" government, is in itself
evidence of the exceedingly unsatifac
tory state of Corea. The peninsula is
really a kind of cock-pit for the in-,
trigues of Eastern diplomatists, aided
by Corean public men. Periodically
these Intrigues break out on the surface
as riots, insurrections, assassinations
and the like. In the struggle which
has gone on for' the past four years.
Corean ministers have been elevated
and overthrown in the twinkling of an
eye. One night the members of a min
istry in full power went to a banquet in
a new. building in Seoul. By daybreak
several of them were dead or
DYING 11Y ASSASSINATION,
and the remainder were far away from
tiie capital, either in flight to the mount
ains on the Russian frontier or to the
coast, in- the hope of finding a boat
which would carry them to a place of
safety. At the source of all the Corean
troubles lies the question of- vassaldom
to China. Since the treaties were made
with foreign countries, beginning in
1881, certain Europeans and Americans
who have gone to that country, either
in connection -with the legations of
foreign Dowers or in the service of the
Corean government itself, have put into
the heads of the king and queen the
idea that Corea should . be independent
of China. For centuries Corea has
been tributary to China. As a rule,
the yoke was easy and the burden ex
ceedingly light, usually consisting of
a mission every one, two or three years,
according to distance, bearing trifling
presents to Pekiu. The missions went
back laden with the richest presents,
and were conveyed from and to the
boundaries at the emperor's expense.
They were charged no customs duties,
and of this privilege they took a dvau
tage to trade and
MAKE ENORMOUS PROFITS. ,
A common method of punishing the
misconduct of a vassal was to refuse to
see the mission. But although this
suzerainty involved no very close and
constant relationship between suzerain
and vassal, China has sometimes found
it expedient to treat it as a very im
portant relation. The case of Corea is
of this character. .- That country is
close to the capital of China, its har
bors command the Yellow sea and the
coasts of China, and therefore the
peninsula possesses a special value in
the eyes of the Chinese government.
When the powers first came to make
treaties with Corea, the very loose and
unsettled relation of Chinese suzerainty
was shown by tho fact that she dis
claimed all responsibility for the doings
or Corea, though at the same time she
tried to get a clause acknowledging her.
suzerainty placed in the first treaty.
This, however, was stricken out by the
American senate as amounting to a
declaration by one of the other parties
to the treaty and an acknowldgement by
the other that the. former, though mak
ing a treaty, really had no -.power to
make treaties. Corea therefore made
her treaties with Western nations on
an independent footing, and in ' all
Corean treaties China is sedulously ex-'
eluded because she refused to demand
that the Corean treaties be made with
■her consent, with- the necessary corol
lary that she would make herself an
swerable to foreign nations for the
CONDUCT OF THE COBEANS. l.yy
The policy which produced this state
of things was that of Li Hung Chang,
who is a persistent waiter upon events.
This insurrection.in 1882, the attack on
the Japanese legation, and the murder
of a number of Japanese subjects led
China to fear that the threatened Jap- .
anese expedition would result in per
manent Japanese occupation of a part
of Corea. It then began -to dawn on
China that she had made a huge mis
take in allowing Corea to assume to
foreign nations the attitude of au' inde
pendent power. Accordingly, China
began endeavors to regain her predomi
nance over the king of Corea and his
ministers. Another outbreak- against
the Japanese decided China to dispatch
a large force at once to put down dis
order. The rapidity with which this
expedition was sent was marvelous.
The disturbances were suppressed, and
the Chinese encamped outside the Co
rean capital, and remained there a few
years, overawing the government and
strengthening the hands of the Chinese
resident, Yuen, who virtually rules the
country. Any change in the position of
Corea towards foreign powers must al
ways be a matter of serious concern to
•Japan, whose. interests in the matter
are almost as great as those of China.
There are reasons to .■'. believe i that if
China employs force respecting, the dis
pute over Mr.* Denny- in order-, to pre
; serve her hold on Corea, Japan will; olk
ject and : serious difficulties eusue be-
tween those powers, possibly resulting
in a Russian . protectorate over Corea,

''Inspectors Howard, Doyle "and Law

party consisting of four men of middle
age, yj and of y very - gentlemanly
appearance,, came yto Minneapo
lis, and * took J- quarters , at' j. a
leading hotel. Two of the men, ax

old time confidence men, and the party
was accordingly shadowed. Nothing
was done by the men for. two or .three
days, and the inspectors were desp tir
ing of getting a case on them, when
last night they attempted to "turn a
trick."" The inspectors then arrested
three of them and lodged them in the
First precinct station. •
About 8 o'lock the four men went to
the St. Louis depot and there met a
wealthy citizen from Montgomery,
John Birch by name. They were".en
deavoring to sell him a counterfeit $1,000
gold bond for §800, pleading as a reason
that they were short of; money and had
to have some immediately. When
the .-■ < officers made the . arrest
oue of the men succeeded
in getting away. At the central station
they gave their names as Johu Flynn,
William Davis and John Hawkins.
The latter is known as "Swede"
Hawkins. On the men were found
twelve counterfeit United States $1,000
gold bonds and a large number of
checks for various amounts on the
Fourth National bank of Louisville,
Ky. The checks were signed with such
names as O. U. Sucker, A. Fish and the
like. The three men refused to talk,
and more than to say that they could
and would prove that they had been
wrongfully arrested when the proper
time came. y
AFRAID OF "KNIFE STAB."
A Mild Reign of- Terror Along
First Street.
The women on First street were
thrown into a state of great excitement
last evening by the report that a mys
terious man, wearing his coat buttoned
closely around his neck and his cap
pulled down well over his eyes, had been
seen patroling the street aud watching
each house very carefully. A number
of the women refused to believe that
the letter recently sent in to the
police by "Knife Stab" was a "fake,"
and insisted that "Knife Stab" was the
man seen on the street. Late in the
evening two patrolmen saw the man,
but he disappeared suddenly when they.
approached. While the officers were
looking for him they were ap
proached by a stranger, also wear
ing a cap. This man walked up to the
patrolmen and ordered them to pull two
or three of the houses, naming the ones
he wanted raided. He talked in a ram
bling way, and finally the officers took
him to police headquarters. The man \
who had been walking up and down the
street all the evening again put in an
appeal and followed the party
from Second avenue south nearly
to the city hall, but he
again disappeared when one*
of the patrolmen started toward him.
At headquarters the man who had or
dered the officers to close the houses
talked in a wild, uncertain way.for some;
time, and insinuated that unless the
places were closed there would be
trouble. Finally he said he guessed he
had made a mistake, and on being or
dered to go home, at once left the build
