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. HAPPY TEXANS. Prospects of Big Crops Make Her Farmers Dream of Profits.

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 ing dispatch from Gen. Forsyth, the com mander at Fort Huachuea: Hi'acucca, June 9. To Capt. Lee: Lieut. Smith sends word from Pantano that Capt.

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.” Forsyth, commanding. MR. CORCORAN IMPROVING. The President Dons His Working Rig and Pitches In.

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.” ON TRIAL FOR HIS LIFE.
