GERMAN IDEAS SOLELY.
GERMAN SOIL FOR GERMAN SUB
JECTS ONLY.
The Relchstagr’a New Measured--Al
sace-Lorraine to be Weeded Out of
all Anti-German Sentiment—Effect of
the Emperor’s Illness oivtlie Bourse.
—The Government’s Ex&nded Pow
ers.
Copjirii/ht 18fi by Yeir York Associated Press.
Berlin, June 11.—It is expected that the
session of the Reichstag will close on June
22. The government aims to secure, during
the present session, the jia.ssage of the spirit
monopoly and the sugar bills, measures for
the protection for women and children and
a law regulating the administration of Al
sace-Lorraine. The committees have been
working so slowly, however, over the spirit
monopoly aud sugar bills that it is doubted
whether they will be completed, unless the
session is prolonged. The Alsace-Lor
raine measure will be carried
to its second reading without
amendment. The debate on the bill on its
ttrst reading had the effect of evoking from
the Als&tiau members much better speeches
than usual. They declared that the measure
was intended to enable the government to
appoint a dictator in every commune in Al
sace-Lorraine. In reply' Herr Von Putt
kamer, Minister of the Interior, appealed
to the House to assist the government
to contend against the French agitation
which, he said, was largely tormented
through the - Reichstag, by the present Bur
gomasters and other municipal officers.
This concluding declaration that the gov
ernment could not be responsible for the
administration of affaire in the Reichsland
unless it was allowed to deal in its own way
with the anti German officials caused the
House to decide to reject Windthorst’s pro
posal and to refer the bill to a
committee. Hen- Wind Thorst made a long
speech criticising the bill, but he was heard
in unsympathetic silence by his usual sup
portei-s. All the parties iu the Reichstag,
except the Rrotesters,coueur in acknowledg
ing the necessity of granting the Govern
ment extended powers of administration in
the Reichstanu, besides the law reorganiz
ing the municipal departments. The
B uncles rath coincides with the
project, authorizing the Emperor by a
simple decree, to enforce in the Reichsland
the laws which comply to all Germany.
Other Germanizing measures are contem
plated by the government, including a now
arrangement of the communal districts, so
as to enable the government to exercise a
better supervision and extension of the
German teaching, and exclusive employ
ment of German professors in the schools.
NO FRENCH IDEAS WANTED
The thoroughness in extirpating the
French element is more than ever the order
of the day. Prince Von Hohctihoe speak
ing at a reunion of the Forest Guards, held
at Kavserberg, referred to them as the
special'representatives of the German idea
in Alsace-Lorraine, and said they merited
special protection because they were isolated
in the midst of a population which was lit
tle in sympathy with them. They propa
gated the German idea and maintained the
German honor.
THE EMPEROR’S ILLNESS.
The Emperor’s illness is having an adverse
effect on the Bourse. At the opening to-day
there was a marked weakness, but the mar
ket partially recovered on a report that the
Emperor’s health had improved. Still the
market closed at a decline of 1-2 per cent.
The feature of the financial business in Ber
lin and Frankfort continues to be the opera
tions connected with the Russian loans.
ARMY MEASURE3 IN FRANCE.
New Military Bills to be Introduced—
President Grevy Defended.
Paris, June 11. —The Cabinet has decided
not to oppose the motion for urgency for the
army bill. The ministry will shortly intro
duce measures to increase the defensive
forces of the republic and to arrange for the
triennial service system. Before the pres
ent bill now under discussion is adopted an
administrative committee will be appointed
to study the lies!, means of securing the uni
ficatjon" of military regulations in the dis
tant French possessions in India and China.
The Pais denounces the Republican papers
for attacking President Grevy. It denies
that he has compounded with the Right, and
declares that his conduct in the recent min
isterial crisis was constitutional and fair.
GERMANY’S METHODS COMMENDED.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the
debate on the army bill was continued. 51.
Keller opposed three years’ service, which,
ho said, sacrificed the quality to the num
bers. In order to induce every one to ac
cept military discipline, he said, it was
necessary for the government to show a
Christian spirit. France should imitate
Germany and make a religious peace. M.
Keller appealed to the Chamber not to dis
cuss the various clauses of the bill. Gen.
Ferron, Minister of War, maintained that
the existing law was first of all the
law for the national defense.
France should make gigantic ef
forts to secure independence. The
three yeare service could not lower the in
tellectual level of the nation. All classes
would be enlisted, but the studies of the
students would be interrupted a* little as
possible, and the bill ought to be absolute.
Gen. Ferron appealed to the Chamber to
pass the bill, which, he said, was necessary
tor the defense of Franco. Gen. Perron's
speech was greeted with applause.
51. 51ahy then move! for urgency of the
bill. Gen. Ferron left the matter of urgen
cy to the discretion of the chamber. 51.
Clemonceau reproached the government for
having no views of its own iu such an im
portant question. He inquired whether
there was a tacit agreement between the
ministry and the Right. The extreme Left
insisted that the government explain
whether such was the cause. 51. Rouvior
declined to explain. Urgency was then
voted for the bill, the Chamber on a division
standing 3.51) to 20fl. The Chamber then, by
n vote of .’JBS to 125, proceeded to discuss the
clauses of the bill. The debate was then ad
journed.

HONORING HER SONS.
Louisiana’s Monument to Her Fallen
Dead Who Lie at Vicksburg.
ViCKsncno, Miss., June 11.—'Tho monu
ment erected by Louisiana to the memory
of the Louisiana soldiers who fell in the de
fense of this city was unveiled here th.s
afternoon with impressive ceremonies. A

THE INDIAN TROUBLES.
Harder to Corner r,ud Catch Than the
Irishman’s Flea.
Benson, Are, June 11. —At dark Thurs
day night Lieut. Johnson was only half an
hour behind the Indians who are on the
warpath, but during the evening they threw
him off the track. The renegades appear to
have experienced leaders, probably some of
the Cooks.
MORE INDIANS THAN REPORTED.
Chicago, June 11.—A special from No
gales, Aid., says: “The indications go to
strengthen the belief that the small number
of Indians reported on the warpath is a mis
take, as bands have been seen in widely
separated sections of the country on the
same day.”
A telegram from San Carlos stating that
there are hostile* in Santa Catalan, has been
received in Saute Barbara, and Patagonia
mountains, near this place, are ablaze with
immense fires, which arc no doubt started
by the Indians for the purpose of covering
up their tracks.
Yesterday afternoon a report was
reoevied from Calien to the effect that Lieut.
McNutt and his men had a running fight
with the liostiles, but later a courier came
into the soldiers’ camp and reported that
the troops ran upon a party of Indians, and
at the time of his leaving were chasiug
them over the hills. It seems evident that
the intention of the hostiles i6 to reach
Sierra Madre. The country is full of sol
diers and it is almost impossible to see how
the raid can last much longer.
PUSHING THE PURSUIT.
Nogales, Ari., June 11. —Capt. Lee was
yesterday preparing to go into tne field iu
person iu pursuit of the hostile Apaches. In
reply to a nuestion he produced tue follow

Lieut. Smith sends word from Pantano that
Capt. Lawton is following the trail. It leads
toward Crittenden, thence bark by the wav of
Davidson's ranch to within six miles of Pan
tano. He is still on the trail. The Indians were
turned back by seeing Captains Hartsfleld and
Martin. Send word to Capt. Martin to stay
where he is, keeping a sharp lookout in case the
Indians double back again on Capt. Lawton.
Tell him to keep a sharp eye ou the trails lead
from Pantano.”

meyer Sugar Refining Company’s sugar
houses at Commercial street and Newtown

half an acre of ground, were of brick, and

valuable machinery, are a total loss. They
were worth about $400,000. The insured is for
about half that amount . The total loss on
the building is about $60,000. Foreman
Demurest states that the fire originated in
the liquor rooms on the fourth floor from an
explosion of the overheated liquor. The
flames spread rapidly, and the 200 men em

lives were lost, but inquiries show that only
one man is missing. He is a Bohemian and
is supposed to be on the place somewhere.
The fire was got under control at 4 o’clock
this morning. The adjoining buildings nar
rowly escaped destruction.

12 1-2 per cent, advance demanded by the
strikers, and work will be resumed at their
ovens at once. This announcement occa
sioned great surprise. It seem; that Carne
gie, Philips & Cos., obta’ned control
of the Frick Coke Work:-, and as
their steel interests are paramount
they drove Fritfc out and informed the
syndicate that They would grant the ad
vance whether they followed or not. This
virtually disrupts the syndicate, and a

GEN. SHERMAN'S IDEAS.
St. Louis, Juno 11.—Gen. John A. Noble
and Col. D. R. Dyer, two prominent mem
bers of the Grand* Army of the Republic, of
this city, received a long letter today from
Gen. Sherman, in which he discusses, at
some length, the recent muddle regarding
the invitation to President. Cleveland to St.
Louis during the Grand Army encampment
next fall.
THE GENERAL’S LETTER.
The material points of the letter are ns
follows: “A rumor of your troubles in St.
Louis reached me by telegraph, and has lost
nothing by the distance. I believe we, here
in New York, now understand the facts.
That the Grand Army of the Republic holds
its next annual encampment at St. Louis
on the last Wednesday of September,
1887. That the great fair of the valley of
the Mississippi begins Monday, Oct, 2. That
the best citizens of St. Louis have invited
many prominent men to lie the guests of
their city on the accidental coincidence of
these two important events, among them
the President of our common country,
Grover Cleveland, his family and suite. The
Grand Army of the Republic is composed
exclusively of the men who served in the
army and navy of the union
to which 51r. Cleveland does not belong,
and therefore he cannot participate in any
of its proceedings, but the moment the
Grand Army emerges from its hall of de
liberation, it becomes like the Free Masons.
Odd Fellows and other societies of good
men associated together for noble purposes,
a part of the general community subject
to the laws and usages of that community.
Mr. Cleveland, President of tho United
States, by a fair election of all our people,
commander-in-chief of the army and navy
of the United States, is free to come and go
wherever the jurisdiction of this, our
national government, extends. He may
visit any fort or ship where the
national flag will be lowered to manifest
the respect clue him and his office, and
should any foreign ships fail to do him
full honor none will be so quick to resent an
insult as the members of the Grand Army
of the Republic, who periled life aud limb
to make that flag respected at home and
abroad.
A MONSTROUS IDEA.
The idea of his being insulted, much less
endangered, should he bo on the stand
alongside of our commander-in-chief, Gen.
Fairchild, when the grand army is passion
in review, soems tome monstrous. I think I
know the lowa boys too well to believe such
things possible. Brave men are
never ungenerous, and the lowa soldiers
were brave men. I know it of my
knowledge, acquired in battle, i will pledge
my life that no lowa soldier will do so un
manly an act, and should Mr. Cleveland ac
cept the invitation, which I hope he will, to
attend the parade of the Grand Army of
the Republic at, St. Louis, on Sept. 28 next,
I will stand by his side or march past in the
ranks of Ransom Poet," a* may Ice ordered
by Gen. Fairchild.” y
M BOMBSHELL FOR SHARP.
The District Attorney Informs Him
Maloney is to Return and Testify.
NutY York. June 11.—Before the reas
sembling of the Oyer and Terminer Court
yesterday, after the recess, Mr. slartine
called slr. Nelson and Mr. Stiekney aside
and made the following statement: “We
deem it proper at this stage of tho case, to
inform you that William Maloney, the
reading clerk of the 1884’s board of Al
dermen, has turned State’s evidence, and
will testify at the trial. We tell you this in
order to bo fair and not to take you by sur
prise. You have ample time to make such
arrangements as you please.” On the ad
journment of the court slessre. Nelson and
Stiekney took slr. Sharp in one of the va
cant co'urt rooms, lyhere a long private
consultation was held. slr. Sharp
says that no testimony that slaloney
can give will injure his case, as he does not
believe that twelve men can find an inno
cent man guilty. He also says that the ver
dict, of “guilty.” with its consequent impris
onment. would lie a sentence of death to
him. Neither the District Attorney, nor
either of his assistants will confirm or deny
the rumor that slaloney his returned.
SHARP’3 NEW ENEMY.
Rumors That Maloney is to Roturn
and “Blow” on the “Old Man.”
New York, June 11.—An authority,
closely connected with the District Attor
ney's office, and believed to tie absolutely re
liable, gave the following information to a
friend to-day: “All the arrangement* have
been completed for the return of the former
reading clerk of the Board of Aldermen,
William’A. Maloney, from Canadu, to testi
fy for the prosecution in the approaching
Sharp trial. Notwithstanding published re
ixirts of Maloney s intention to sail to Eurojie
with his family? he will be within the call
of the District Attorney when wanted to
testify. This is the only means by which
slaloney's longing to lie back in .'T w York
can be gratified, and the District Attorney
has promised him immunity if he will re
turn and testify against Sharp.”

Atlanta, Oa., June 11.—A big fight i*
brewing over the proposition to extend the
city limits half a mile iu each direction.
Tho present annex is about seven square
miles, and the extension would nearly
double it. It is claimed the present limits
are two small for the growth of the city,
aud, besides, the suburban residents do busi
ness in town, enjoy the benefits and advan
tages and should pay n part of the burden
of taxation. The movement is agitated by
the leading influence now controlling mu
nicipal affairs, but the opposition is strong,
in and out of the city, and i! pressed it will
heroine bitter. The probability is that the
limits will not ho extended at present.
APPLICATION FOR ROSS’ PARDON.
A strong application is made for the par
don of Obedlah Ross, convicted in 1851, iu
Jefferson county, of the murder of Nathan
Cornwell. He was sentenced to the peni
tentiary for life, where lie has since been.
Cornwell kept a country store, sleeping in it
at night. One night, the store was fired,
and Cornwell’s remains were found in the
ruins the next day. Suspicion rested
on five or six men in Scriven
county, among them Obedlah Ross,
all of whom were indicted. All but Rosa
proved an alibi. The main witness against
Ross was Dr. David Curry, of Johnson
county, who testified that Ross confessed the
crime to him The application for pardon
charges that Curry committed perjury, and
it is backed up by strong evidence. One of
the leading counsel for tho prosecution at
the trial writes that he is convinced of
Carry's perjury. Curry himself has filed
with the Governor n strong protest against
the pardon. It is probable that the pardon
wifi be granted.
