) ESTABLISHED IRSO. > \ J. H. E6T4LL, Editor and Proprietor, f GERMAN IMPORT DUTIES. DOUBT WHETHER THE GOVERN MENT WILL ASK AN INCREASE. Fears t’aat it Would Cut Off a Favor able Treaty Tariff with Austria-Hun gary -The Whole Question Now One of Political Tactics -Improved Rela tionswith Russia. [Copyright 1887 by New York Associated Rress.l Berlin, Aug. 27. —It is becoming doubt ful whether, after all, the government will present to the Reichstag a bill raising the iinjiort duties on cereals. The official press points out that an increase of the duties might destroy all hope of get ting a favorable tariff treaty with Austria-Hungary, for which German manufacturers are clamoring. They want fairer terms for manufactured articles im jxirtcd from Austria, but then Austria- Hungary is sending large amounts of cereals into Germany, and if the duties on these commodities were raised Austria would re taliate upon Germany. If the government succeeds, however, in arranging a treaty with Austria on terms permitting the pass age of the cereal bill such si measure will still bo introduced. The loaders of the Con servative, Free Conservative and National Lileral groups have formed a combination in favor of an increase of duties. The Na tional Liberals followed au isolated policy. Thev would contend only for further pro tection in favor of iron and steel, arid the manufacturing industries, but in order to obtain higher duties in their own interests they have to combine with the Conservatives to obtain increased protection for agricul tural interests. The whole question is thus one of political tactics, and revolves on what the results of the cereal bill mav save on the manufacturing interests. Trades petitions are being sent to tho Bundesrath asking that the rise in duties be from three marks to eight marks per double hundred weights. THE SPIRIT MONOPOLY. The event of the week of greatest interest both in financial circles, and to the general public has lieen the reported formation of the great, spirit monopoly company. There is some doubt, however, notwithstanding the confident assertions of interested parties whether the company really has been formed. Some of the leading bankers,among them the Mendelshons and Bleiehroders, have refused to share in the enterprise and it is also threatened that a counter coalition to the company will be formed, which will seek to bind all spirit producers to sell to it at contract rates, retail prices to be fixed at the will of the company, which will thus becorno the focus of the entire domestic production. Many producers have already contracted for 120 marks per hecto litre, iueliitiing taxes, for domestic produc tions. As an immediate result of these rumors, the shares of numerous spirit dis tilling companies have rushed up some 153 [ier cent. Few voices are heard cham pioning the cause of the consumers, who declare that the monopoly will la mentably raise prices. The monopolists further aim at tho exjiortation of spirits at such prices as will destroy competition throughout the markets of the world. The capital of the company, which it was at first proposed to fix at 3h,000,0;)0 marks, has now lieon increased to 50,000,(XX) marks. A third of the entire number of shares have been reserved for the distillers, who will have proportionate representation in tho Board of Directors. THE BULGARIAN IMBROGLIO. The prospect for a settlement of the Bul garian imbroglio is more hazy than ever. Nothing deiinile is known as to Prince Bis marck's policy. It is certain that official circles retain the absolute belief that what ever is happening the Austro-German alli ance remains intact. It is iielieved there is a lietter entente, but no special reapproacb ment with Russia as a result of Prined Bismarck’s desiring to co operate with the Czar in his present policy of securing respect for the treaty of Berlin. This has been Prince Bismarck’s pi rsistent aim, but not Russia’s. The charge in the relations between the two governments is due to the efforts of M. de biers, who, freed from the oppression of the Pan-Slavist party since KntkofTs death, seeks Germany’s co-operation within the limits of the Reniu treaty. If this friendly attitude continues mu tual national aversion may abate. Meantime the German press shows no special confidence in Russia. The Bourse has taken advantage of the changed situation to give a steady rise to Russian securities from the low level to’ which they were forced two months ago. though the rise is nothing more than what speculators regard ns the normal values of the securities. German bankers will not take part in tho proposed Russian loan. EMPEROR WILLIAM'S HEALTH.

AU the Conservatives, including Lord Randolph Churchill, sup ported the government in last night’s vote, as did Lord Hartington and Messrs. Bright and Russell. Tho bulk of the Unionists voted with theGladstoniansand Parneilites. Messrs. Joseph and Richard Chamberlain, Codings, Williams of Birmingham, and Hingley and Buchall also voted with the minority. During the evening Mr. Bright had a short talk with Mr. Gladstone. Nine Liberal-Unionists supported Mr. Gladstone, and seventeen other members of the party were absent and unpaired. Mr. Gladstone has gone to Ha warden. Lord Hartington, in a letter defining his political position, denies that he regards home rule as practically won. The depres sion which seems to exist among the Lib eral-Unionists, he declares, is caused chiefly by the impression which obtains in some quarters that Mr. Gladstone has made larger concessions than have really been made, and he knows of no reason why the Unionists should relax their efforts. The Standard says: “It is well that it should be known throughout the land that the government were resolved to proclaim the national league, though Lord Harting tou and his party would have preferred a different course, and that the government had not thereby lost his support or con fidence, but had established a fresh claim to his respect.” A MASS MEETING. Under the auspices of the Liberal League and the Radical and Irish Temperance Clubs, a procession containing 10,(XX) men, marched to Trafalgar Square to-nigbt to listen to speeches in denunciation of the government’s action against the Irish Na tional League. Four platforms had been erected, and " from those four speakers addressed the multitude simultaneously. Among the orators were Messrs. Biggar, Nolan, Quinn and Shirley, members of Parliament, and the Socialist leader Morris. A resolution denouncing the proclamation of the league was carried by acclamation. Large bodies of police were present, but the crowd was perfectly orderly. SUMMONED BY THE GOVERNMENT. Dublin, Aug. 27. —The government have summoned John Mandeville, chairman of the Mitchelstown Board of Poor Law Guar dians, for making a speech inciting to vio lence on the occasion of William O’Brien’s visit to Mitchelstown.

It is expected that Mr. Condon, member of Parliament for last Tipperary, will be prosecuted simultaneously with Messrs. Mandeville and O'Brien. Freeman's Journal commenting on the defeat of Mr. Gladstone’s motion says: “The division iu the House of Commons last night will undoubtedly encourage the government to carry on the warfare, and if it does * e anticipate troublesome times for them. The people were never better prepared to stub bornly’ resist tyranny than they are at the "present time.” PERSICO’S MISSION. Rome, Aug. 27.—The Pope has resolved to appoint a special commissioner to con sider the reports made by Mgr. Persico of his mission to Ireland. PREDICAMENT OF THE PRINCE. Russia and Turkey Send Him Tele grams of Disapproval. Sofia, Aug. 27.—Prince Ferdinand has received telegrams from both the Sultan and the Czar. The message of the Sultan is moderate in tone, but states that the Prince’s assumption of the Bulgarian throne was an illegal act, and constitutes a breach of the Berlin treaty. The Czar’s communication is decidedly imperative. It declares that Russia disapproves of Prince Ferdinand’s action, and deems it a gross violation of the treaty. Betrayed By a Printer. Paris, Aug. 27.—The National says the inquiry in regard to the disclosures of the government’s plans for a mobilization ex periment has shown that the information was divulged by an employe of the typo graphical department of the War Ministry The press demand that the culprit lie severely punished. La Repnblique Francaise says: “The Mobilization scheme has been spoiled in con sequence of the Figaro's indiscreet and premature publication of the number of the corps selected.” La Petit Journal says that another corps will now lie chosen for the experi ment.

A battle lias taken place between Sheriff Kendall’s men and a band of In dians. Deputy Sheriff Jack Ward was killed and several wounded.

Denver, Col., Aug. 27.—The Rocky Mountain-Vries’ special from Rangely, Col., dated at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, which was sent by Courier to Glenwood Springs via Meeker, says: “The fight occurred at a place six miles west of Rangely in a little canon be tween the mountains. The Indians had planned an ambush, but the scouts discovered it and retreated in time. The Indians then opened fire, and Maj. Leslie, who commanded the scouts, which were augmented by Maj. Hooper’s Aspen volunteers, re turned the fire from behind the rocks. The Indians showed themselves and fought desperately. Upon the first concen trated fire of the troops, two Indians fell and one white man. Dr. Dunmont, of Meeker, who was with Sheriff Kendall’s band, was wounded. For two hours the battle raged incessantly. Then the Utos retreated to the timber, and only skirmish shots were fired during the day. This con tinued until 11 o’clock last night, but no one was injured. one of kendall’e men shot. “Jack Ward,one of Sheriff Kendall’s men, was shot down during the first part of the fight. The whites saw eight Indians dragged behind Hie line. The Indians were dead. There were five whites wounded. Three of them were members of Hooper’s company, one man was a scout, and two are believed, although not known, to be soldiers. After the fight the Indians retreated, and a report conies that they were going to pillage the ranches. They were not heading for the reservation. The men of the National Guard, and in fact all the whites, are almost on foot, their horses being exhausted. A courier passed here this morning bound for Meeker, after provisions and hospital supplies. There is on immediate demand for them. The men have barely enough to eat.” HOW THE NEWS WAS RECEIVED. Glenwood Springs, Col. , Aug. 27.—The arrival here of a courier at 10 o'clock last night with a report of a fight with the Utes, in which one man was killed and several severely' wounded, created a profound sensa tion here. When the news arrived Gov. Adams, who was on his way to meet Gen. Crook near Meeker, for the purpose of hold ing a pow-wow with Colorow, and who in tended to leave here at daylight, was making a speech at the hotel at Glenwood. He was speaking on a resolution which had just been presented him on behalf of the citizens indorsing his action in ordering out the militia, when an officer of the post came into the room and, walking up to the Gov ernor, whispered something in his ear. The Governor’s countenance grew pale and, after a moment’s pause, he told the gather ing of what he had just heard, and almost immediately left for Gen. West’s headquar ters for consultation. This news gave a black eye to the peace pow wow, as it was believed that a fight was lieing waged with with unrelenting fury. Ward, the man who is reported killed, is a prominent citizen of Grand Butte. lie was a deputy under Sheriff Kendall. It is believed that the officers opened fire against the Utes upon their arrival on the scene. This engage ment being the first real baptism of blood since the beging of the campaign, the chances are that a more serious battle has already occurred. Further nows is awaited with impatience.

An Avaricious Railroad Company Overreaches Itself. Qhicago, Aug. 27.—A Cairo, 111., special says: “Southwestern Mjssouri is in a frenzy of excitement over the railroad land ques tion, which has developed some remarkable features. Many yvirs ago a man named Miller, living in Blodgett, Mo., purchased a largo plot of land from tho Iron Moun tain railroad, which he occupied without molestation for a long period. For some reason not. known to the public, the railroad people endeavored in various ways to rid themselves of Miller, finally issuing an order of ejection. Miller at last was induced to write President Cleve land explaining fully the circumstances by which he came into possession of the prop erty. An answer was received in due time advising Miller to retain possession of the lands at all hazards, and stating further, that by reason of the failure of the railroad company to keep certain contracts with the government they had forfeited all right and ;titlo to them, and that the entire tracks in possession of the railroad company were subject to registration, and occupa tion by bona fide settlers the same as any other government lands. The news spread like prairie fire, and it is said settlers are rushing into Southwestern Missouri, and squatting on the finest lands in the State. There are thousands of acres of land under this statement of the case which will be taken possession of by immigrants.” TRAIN WRECKERS FOILED. A Piece of Iron Wedged Between the Tracks on a Bridge Chicago, Aug. 27.—A special to the News from Kairmount, 111., says: “Watmah detectives succeeded until yesterday in keep ing quiet an at tempt at train wrecking near Danville last Wedni'sday morning. The bridge crossing Vermillion river is GOO feet long and over 100 feet high, and tho ap proach from the west is down a heavy grade through a deep cut. The watchman employed to examine the bridge in attend ing to his duties Wednesday morning, just before tho east bound fast passenger train was duo, discovered n piece of railroad iron firmly placed between two ties in such a manner as would have wrecked the first train pass ing over. It would have been a ghastly wreck, throwing the train, tilled with jias sengers down tho embankment into the river, 100 feet below. Aft or he removed the obstruction he heard a pistol shot fired lie low the bridge, which is supposed to have been tiie signal. Two suspicious looking men had been seen around toe bridge during the night but no trace of them could af terward be found.” OXEY CHERRY SAVED. She Will Go To Jail for Five Years In stead of Being Hanged. Chicago, Aug. 27.—A special to the Times, from Columbia, S. C., says: “Gov. Richardson has commuted the sentence of Oxey Cherry, tho 12-year old girl convicted of murder and sentenced to lie hanged in September, to imprisonment In the peniten tiary for five years. Tho Governor received a large number of communications from the North and North west,pleading for mercy for the child and asking that ho would al low no bloody stain to lie put upon South Carolina and the United States bv the hanging of an infant. He made a thorough examination of tho oaso and could find nothing but evidence of premeditate murder. Tho girl was con victed of killing a 2-year-old child by ad ministering a dose of concentrated lye. Tho Governor appealed to the judge who passed sentence for his reccommendation. The judge replied that the ease of murder had been made out, but tiiat on account of the tender age of the girl he thought she should not be hanged but imprisoned for a term of years.” "MIND MAMMY.” The Last Words of a Condemned Mur derer to His Children.

The execution took place iu the jail yard, and vva* private. After a short prayer by a minister, Danzy said lie would like to see all his family. A touching scene followed. When the condemned man's baby was held up to him for a farewell kiss there were few dry eyes among the specta tor Great lieads of perspiration stood out upon the culprit's face and forehead, although he appeared perfectly calm. His last words were addressed to his children, whom he told to “Mind mammy.” RUN DOWN FROM THE REAR. An Engine Crashes Into a Passenger Train in New Jersey. Philadelphia, Aug. 27.—While the train that is called “tho midnight express,” 1 hat leaves Jersey City for Philadelphia at 12:10 o’clock, arid is duo at Wayne Junction at 4 o’clock in tho morning/ was waiting at the station this morning, au engineer, with a conductor's caboose car attached that was following close behind the train, ran into it. The express was composed of several passenger coaches and u sleeper, the latter lieing iu the rear The engine and caboose were crushed into the sleeper, damaging the platform considerably and smashing the calmose car, the tank of the engine and the machinery. The passengers in the sleeper, lieyoud the fright of the sudden awakening, which brought them out half at tired, sustained no injuries, but the brakemen in the caboose were not so fortunate. James Manning, of this city, one of them, had his leg broken anil was otherwise and probably fatally hurt, and John Ruth and a man named Mn ginloy, also of this city, were severely in jured.

All in Uncertainty os to What the Out come will be on tho Street -The Firm Pleads Abpoluto Pennilessness aa an Excuse for its Action. Ban Francisco, Aug. 27.—Tho an nouncement was made at 11:30 this morn ing that Dresback & Rosenfold, tho bnll operators in wheat, had not kept their agreement to accept all the wheat, tendered them, and the call board was at onoe ad journed, without any sales being effected. Tliis is accepted us a complete collapse of the wheat ring. The full significance of the crash will probably not Vie known for several days. While Dresbach & Rosenfeld were supposed to be acting for John W. Mackay. James 0. Flood and other large stockholders of the Nevada Bank, the deals were all made out in their names, and all contracts were made liersonnlly with them without any addi tional guarantee. THE AGREEMENT. When the corner broke Aug. 2 Dresbach & Rosenfeld agreed to pay tne difference between $2 07 and $1 70 percental, or 37c. percental in four monthly payments, the first payment to full on Sept. 1. The price of wheat foil steadily to $1 30, hut the bull clique was expected to lie able to carry the big load, and an announcement was made two days ago that the first installment of money would be paid as agreed. The an nouncement to-day, therefore, that, the two big brokers would repudiate their paper was tho last straw, and was accepted us a final surrender and illus trated that all the enormous losses, with the exception of possibly $2, 000,000 advanced by the bull clique early in the deal, is to fall upon the brokers and others who had deal ings with those two representatives of the other men whoso identity has not been dis closed. There was considerable excitement, on the street, but no failures were reported, and while many of the big houses have lieen hit very hard, the hope is expressed that they will lx? able to pull through. The feel ing is very bitter among dealers, and tho entire deal is spoken of as one of the worst in the history of the trade. THE STREET AT HEA. The street is practically at sea regarding the outcome, and few hazard an opinion. It is settled that firms having unsettled con tracts with Dresbach & Rosenfeld will have to bear the big losses growing out of the deal. This afternoon John Rosenfeld fill'd a deed transferring all his projierty, valued at $200,000, to the Nevada Bank. This is supposed to prove the connection of that institution with it. Neither Mr. Maekuy nor Mr. Flood could be seen at their office to-day, and it was not expected that they would make a statement in any event. Vice President Brlnker, of the Nevada Bank, declined to make a statement of any kind. ROSENFET.D’S STATEMENT. John Ronenfieid, in explanation of the decision reached by himself and Mr. Dres baoh to not carry out their contracts, said: “We have pai l out all the money, and can get no more accommodation at the luniks, and have had to stop. That is all there is to it. Someone will make a great deal of money out of this, for those who have the coin, I mean people in England, will lie able to pick up tho wheat we are holding at a song. If we could have gained more time we might have pulled through, but now all is over with us.” Continuing, Mr. Rosenfeld said: “Money lias lieen tight all along and the real estate boom has made it tighter and shut us off from all accommodations." The call board lias adjourned until next Monday, but even though notice has been given by Dresbach & Rosenfeld to sell all wheat in their name, it is believed that the board may lie again adjourned for an in definite period, though liow this will mend matters does not appear. As near as can lie ascertained, after returning tho original deposit money of buyors and sellers, at tlie rate of $4 per ton on 103,000 tons named in the agreement of Aug. 3d, and which reduced the margins from $2 15 per cental to #2 15. Dresbach & Koseiilold further margined down about 40,000 tons to $1 70. THE CRISIS. They paid out large sums for this purpose during tiie last few days, and to-day was the day when the remainder fell due. It would require about. $400,000 to mqet this part of tiie agreement. The inability of Dresbach & Rosenfeld to pay out any more money therefore leaves ulsmt (50,000 tons of wheat it* the hands of holders, standing them in $2 05 {Kir cental, which cunnotdie sold, except at panic prices. It is feared that this will cause additional trouble in the trade, for it involves heavy losses upon holders who wore con fident in the ability of Dresbach & Ro senfeld to meet their obligations. Ten thousand tons of wlmat placed by Dresbach & Rosenfeld in the liands of the directors of the Produce Exchange as security were in fulfillment of an agreement of Aug. 3, and ulx.ut (4,000 tons now remain, it having lieen released as the margin money was returned. This 0,000 tons, which could not be sold to-day at #2 0(> a ton, is all that the holders of (50,000 tons, costing $2 05 (icrcental or $1,230,000, have to secure them against loss. William Dresbach has made an assign menttoC. 11. Htone of all his projierty for Ihe benefit of his creditors. LIVELY TIMES EXPECTED. The Fust this afternoon says: “Tho feel ing is generally prevalent tiiat next week will Sts' lively times, and failures are confi dently predicted. That Drcslmeh & Koson leld ever really intended to fulfill their agreement is freely scouted by members of the board outside tiie influence of the ring, their intention Iving simply to play for time. The declaration made by Mackay the other day had the effect, how ever, of establishing confidence in the fut ure carrying out of contracts as it tended to confirm the general opinion tiiat the Nevada Bank lias more intimate connection witli the deal than its managers cared to admit, If Muckay really meant, wbst he said about carrying all the wheat that was offered he Ims apparently cliangisl ids mind in regard to supporting the individual o|ieration* of Dresbach A lloeenfeld. Tho concoction of these gentle.uen, while it is at ill enveloped in a certain amount of mystery, will proba bly now have sufficient light thrown upon it to determine definitely who their iuv kora really wore. That they themselves were simply straw men was generally ad mi Mod, it, lieing out of reason to suppose that people of their exceedingly limited means could possi bly have carried an amount <>f wheat run ning in the millions. That the losers will submit quietly to bo pinched upon any such proposition is unlikely - , and the consequence will lie law suits which will eventually de termine the quarter whence the backing came. _______________ Bartlett Growing Weaker. Han Francisco, Aug. 2(5, — Gov. Bartlett continues to grow weaker, and his attend ants lailieve be cannot live more than twenty-four hours. A DEFAULTER IN LUCK. County Authorities Have no Funds to Bring Him Back. Galveston, Aug. 27. —To-day the county officials received by express tnirteen of the sixteen county school bonds which the de faulting treasurer, W. J. Burl# carried off with him when he absconded. The bonds are of the denomination of SI,OOO each and are intact. It is supposed that Burk hypothecated the other three bonds.

GLENN ASKS RECONSIDERA TION IN THE HOUSE. He Thinks the Resolution Withholding the Appropriation Unfair Until the Senate lias Acted on His Bill—Mr. Candler Opposes the Motion and Mr, McLendon Favors It—lt is Tabled. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 27. —Tho session of the House to-day was largely devoted to a motion by Mr. Glenn to reconsider the ac tion of yesterday on the report and resolu tion offered by the Committee on Educa tion, to withhold tho Atlanta University ap propriation. Mr. Glenn said the resolution ought to lie on the table till the Senate passed his bill. The report was a lightning rod to divert an issue that had lieen made by the House and was now before the Sen ate, but then l were shadows of opposing in fluences and of np]iositinii coming from some source in the dark seeking to re verse the policy of this House. This was tho salvation of that clement. They say to the colored man, “Wo are your friends. Did we not smother a lull iu the House adverse to your rights?” Suppose his bill should fail and this resolu tion tie panned—what then) It, will only say: “If you co-educate tiie races wo will not te a party to it." The result w ill lie tiiat other schools will do as the Atlanta. University is doing, and the Htnto will merely say, "We will not assist.” No such dodging should lie made of an issue atsiut which there is no compromise. URGED TO WAIT. lot us wait, until we see what will Leonine of the bill in the Henate. I Ait us not with hold from the Atlanta University money obtained from the United States and leave every institution of the kind at liberty to do as that university hus done. He had lieen informed that insidious influence had lieen brought to bear to obtain a reversal of the action of the House and that the situation of our Democratic friends at the North had I sen urged to procure a reversal of the action of the House. Mr. Candler, of Do Kalb, opposed recon sideration. He mis at a loss to know how tho resolution controverted any principle of the Glenn bill. If rather seems from the statements made by thnt gentleman him self Hint we tmght to adopt such n resolu tion as this as a supplement to his bill. He could not see how it would] place the House in an inconsistent attitude. He saw no use, no necessity, no sense in the pro poaed reconsideration. The resolution doe* not withhold SB,OOO or one cent from tho Atlanta University, but on the contrary, indicate* on its face that it shall be used ac cording to the (Kilicy of the Stitt*'. He did not sis'how it could affect any bill in tho Senate. WOULD BE INCONSISTENT. Shall we say that we are going to fina and imprison, and at the same time give tiie $8,000( What will reconsideration accom plish) The resolution is simply on interpre tation of tho law and the contract made thirteen years ago. it is urged that it may affect the action of the Senate. The Senate is capable of taking care of its own busi ness, and should lie left to do so. Mr. McLendon, of Thomas, favored re consideration. To withhold the funds from the Atlanta University would simply put us in u false ijght. Tiie resolution ought to tie inode to apply also to other institutions of the State ana not to one only, from which it could lie lalsely interpreted that the Leg islature wished to withhold the money from this institution. WAYS TO AMEND. He wanted the resolution recommitted, so as to have an amendment applying the fund to Some other Institution, tie did not want the Legislature to do anything that might Is' misconstrued. Mr. Calvin said the remarks of Mr. Glenn only served to involve the whole question in shadows. Tho report of the committee was as simple as could bo. He explained the reasoning and the meaning qf the reso lution. Heretofore the Atlanta U niversity had been open only to colored children, butt now white children have been ad mitted. Wo simply say in the reso lution tiiat the institution is to be aided by the State exclusively for col ored children, and t hat in the future it shall comply with tho law. Tiie motion to reconsider was tabled by a vote of (59 to 42 Tim Penitentiary Committee submitted the report of the sun-committee tiiat inves tigated the convict system and abuses, and it was ordered printed.
