Munster will appeal to the emperor

opinion in Germany, he will allow the am
bassador to retire, and. in case the i'aris
Journals persist in attacking the embas
sy, will leave the post vacant.
The general feeling, expressed daily in
ne (rerman press, is that no ambassador
should he returned to Furls until the
r ranch government shows its willingness
and power to prevent the press agitation
against the embassy. The Koelnisohe
Z'itung says: "We do not doubt the
p*r:oupness of the French government's
d'etre to maintain geo 1 relations with
German?,’, but Jt is necessary to •!**.
mand emphatically that the person of the
German ambassador be kept out of the
frame of French scandal and politics.'
A Washington dispatch reported this
w’eek that Germany had refused to allow
the independent inspection cf emigrants
at German ports. According to officials
here the dispatch referred to an incident
two years old. The United States Marine
hospital men came to Hamburg during the
epidemic to prevent the embarkation of
cholera infected poisons. A- they did not
have what the authorities deemed proper
credentials from the Washington govern
ment, they were not permitted to super
vise emigration to the United States. Thov
also got into trouble with the United
States consuls, and. after communication
between the foreign office and American
legation, were recalled. No question con
cerning them has arisen since then in any
form. There are no United Slates inspec
tors at present at any German port, but
Germany has not taken a step to discour
age inspection.
Fhe United Press correspondent has
made repeated inquiries this week as to the
possit ility of i\ tariff war between the
United States and Germany, hut he has
found everybody in official circles abso
lutely’ dumb on the subject, although two
or three weeks ago the matter was dis
cussed with little constraint. Freiherr
von Hamn.crstein, the agrarian leader,
was asked what Germany would do if the
United States took an unfriendly course.
He answered: “We should retaliate by
shutting out American corals and goods
and should look up new outlets for our
merchandise. Doubtless fur a time, Ger
man industries would suffer, but new mar
kets are always found when sought. Any
how we cannot submit to bullying, espec
ially when we have the absolute right in
our side.’’
Deputy Alchbechloe, vice chairman of
the clerical party and the owner of a large
estate in Bavaria, said decidedly: “We
do not want any American grain, any
how. If the United Stairs insists upon
violating their treaty with us, we shall
protect ourselves by shutting out Ameri
can cereals. Vo have too much Russian
and Roumanian grain now. The German
farmer cvnnot raise stock and grow wheat
with profit under the present circum
stances.”
The municipal council at Cologne ap
proved unanimously the proposal for a
grand Bismarck birthday celebration.
This decision evoked numerous protests
from Catholics, who h ive not. forgott* n
the Kulturkamp. The Koelnisohe Volks
Zeitung, organ of the Rhineland clerical**,
replied on Friday that Catholics ought to
recognize the greatness of Prince Bis
marck's statesmanship and should remem
ber that Leo XIII. bestow* and upon him the
high distinction of the Order of Christ.
Twelve non-commissioned officers, who
were convicted in Madgeburg of mutiny in
the artillery school in the invallden
Strasee, passed through the city yesterday
on their way to the Spandau fortress. The
gold lace was torn from their coats to
show that they had been degraded.
Chancellor Prince Hohenlohe left Ber
lin this morning for Freidriehsruhe to
visit Prince Bismarck. He was accom
panied by Count Herbert Bismarck ami
Prince Alexander von Hohenlohc-Schill
ingfurst, his youngest son. Dr. Kayser,
director of the colonial department, who
some time ago planned to be one of tho
party, left the city on Friday, and at
noon appeared at the Freidrichsruhe sta
tion with Prince Bismarck to welcome the
other guests. The greetings between the
chancellor and Prince Bismarck wore
very cordial.
Chancellor Hohenlohe left Friedrich
ruhe for Berlin at 5 o'clock. The Koel
fliische Zeitung said this morning of
Chancellor Hohenlohe's pilgrimage: “The
visit is in harmony with the just desires
of all patriotic Germans, for th-‘ es
trangement of the founder of the empire
and the leading men in Berlin has long
spoiled all pleasure In politi al co-opera
tion for many good Germans.”
Count von Moltke, who went to T ried
rlchsrhue last week in behalf of the em
peror. took several hampers of flowers,
which wen to bo placed round the por
trait of the Princess Bismarck, and a
copy of the emperor's naval lecture, ac
companied with most of the emperors
sketches of coast defenses and warships.
CHEERS FOR CRISPI.
Popular Demonstrations of Confidence
in Naples and tho Piedmont.
Rome, Jan. 13.—Premier Crisp! arrived
here this morning. He left Naples for
Rome last evening four hours after his
daughter's marriage. Crowds surrounded
the Naples railroad station and cheered
him incessantly from the moment his
carriage came in sight until his train
went. Three hundred popular societies
in Naples presented to the premier ad
dresses of confidence. In Piedmont many
Crisp! meetings were held to-day and
some 200 deputies spoke in defense of the
premier. All the speak n? censured ex-
Premier Glolitti for having manufactured
a seandal for the sole purpose of ruining
Premier Crispi poltically.

JAPAN'S CAMPAIGN IN CHINA
Ifce Wav to f.o on Despite the Climatic
Obstacles.
Tho Idea of Sending the Troops Into
Winter Quarters Abandoned Prepa
rations for the Dispatch of a Third
Army Corps Completed, But Its
Destination a Profound Secret—A Ru
mor that 40,000 Men Will Attempt to
March 40C Miles to Shan Pai Kwin.
San Francisco, Cab, Jan. 13.—The steam
er R<*le>. which arrive 1 la. t night from
Yokohama, brings the follow ing news from
the Orient: There was at one time a
strong disposition in Japan to send the
troops into winter quarters and defer
further military operations until spring.
The climatic obstacles to winter cam
paigning in Manchuria and on the shores
of the Gulf of Pechilli were almost de
terrent, and It seemel questionable
whether results could be obtained com
mensurate w ith the expense and suffering
involved. But the idea has been aban
doned, chiefly in recognition of the fact
that any cessation of activity would In
evitably weaken China’s sense of what
she has suffered and render her more
obdurate than ever. Japan means to light
on unremittingly. I'reparations for the
dispatch of the third army corps have
been completed, and the troops are ex
pected to embark within a few days.
Their destination is kept profoundly se
cret. Wel-Hai-\Yel has been talked of
generally. But Wc:-Hai-Wei is on the op
posite coast of the Pechilli gulf from
Port Arthur, and is, moreover, isolated
from the island districts by mountains
difficult for an army to cross. If Japan
sent a corps there her forces would be
dangerously scattered—one division at
Uhiulien and Fenghwan; one at Hai
Cheng and New Chwang, a hunder miles
away; two at Port Arthur and Chin Fow,
in the Liau Tung peninsula, and one on
the opposite shore of the Gulf of Pechilli.
The difficulty of preserving communica
tion with the various forces would he very
great.
It is doubtful whether Japan has suf
ficient transports for the purpose or suf
ficient men of war to convey the trans
ports. Besides, a corps d* arniee landed
on the shores of Shan Tung would have
no objective but Wel-Hai-VUei. It is true
the loss of Wei-Hal-Wet would deprive
China of every fortified port of refuge in
the gulf of Pechilli, but on the other hand,
at Wei-llai-Wei. troops engaged in opera
tions would be quite out of the arena so
far as an advance upon Pekin is con
cerned. To take part in that operation
they would have to be retransported over
the sea. These considerations lead many
to doubt whether a third army will go to
I Wei-Hai-Wei. The alternative is that it
[ will he united with the second army, now’
, in the Liau Tung peninsula, and that the
two will make a descent upon Shan Pai
Kwan, thence ultimately to march upon
Pekin. From Kal Ping, near the head of
the Liau Tung peninsula to Shnng Pai
Kwan i3 240 miles, and from Shang Pai
Kwan to Pekin, 130 miles.
Some predict that the second and third
army, moving northward, will combine
with the left wing of tho first at Kal
Ping, and that the three will together
march overland to Shan Pai Kwan. It
would be a tremendous undertaking to
move 40,000 men over 409 miles of coun
try in mid winter. Yet to land 25,000 on a
shallow shore at such a place as Fal
Kwan, where the Ice Is already thick, is
an equally formidable, task. Hence the
public awaits with keen interest Japan’s
next move.
London. Jan. 14, 4 a. m.—The Times has
this dispatch from Its Ti**n Tsin corres
pondent: “The Manohu princes have
taken, the defense of the country into
their own hands. The intrigues of the
Chinese officials aim to thwart them;
hence a conflict that paralyzes the exec
utive power. Li llung Chang, though re
lieved of all functions except that of
governor of the province, still indirectly
influences the officials.
“Chinese arriving from Manchuria re
port that the country between thfc rivers
Yalu and Liao-110 is desolate. No houses
arer standing. The timber has been
burned and towns and villages, enrtwhile
populous, are without a vestige of life.
Only scattered groupes of frozen corpses
are seen. Food and fuel carrot be gotten.
“Tin* wounded suffer terribly. move
ments of the troops on both sides are
hindered by the exhaustion of supplies,
which the country people at first brought
from fear. The stragglers from the Chi
nese who have taken refuge in the hills
and forests have become savages, lost
to all human feeling.”
The Tolace correspondent of the Cen
tral News, says: "In a dispatch from Pu
san Capt. Tskugakan yesterday reported
that the Tqnghak insurrection in Junt-
Sen-Do lias been suppressed. A captured
spy declared that the insurgents would
prove the sincerity of their surrender by
beheading their principal chiefs and forty
others. The captain and the Korean au
thorities examined the Tonghafc prisoners,
who declared that divisions had occurred
among them; then the Japanese sailors
and Korean soldiers attacked them, and
completely terrified them.”
The Central News correspondent in To
kio quotes a dispatch dated at Hai-Chang
yesterday, by Lieut. Gen. Katzuva, who
reports that one portion of Gen. Sung’s
army left Yeng-Kow on Jan. 8 for Kai-
Ping and another portion marched In the
direction of Ahi-Cheng. The enemy’s
main force retreated on Jan. 10 to Ku-Ho-
Hee. On Jan. 11. there was no sign of the
enemy. The Japanese cavalry is now
scouting for the Chinese.
Dating his dispatch at Pai Ping yester
day Gen. Nogi reports that his scouts say
Gen. King with some 19,000 Chinese Is in
the vicinity of Elhtaoho. Other Japanese
commanders report a large force of Chi
nese in the vicinity of Yelg-Kow and Lao-
Y ii-Yon.
Gen. Ni'-h, while escaping in a carriage
on Jan. 10, passed within 50 metres of the
Japanese, who killed his horses, wounded
him in the thigh and nearly made him
a prisoner.
The Chinese peace envoy, Chang Tin
Hoen, arrived in Shanghai this evening
with a suite of fifty-six. The Cantanoese
oppose his going to Japan and declare in
their placards that he w ill disgrace China.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 13. —The Novoe
Vremeyer says to-day in a leader on the
eastern war: “If the friendly and peace
ful representations of Russia's diplomacy
b* not considered, she will be compelled
to support her claims on Korea with force
of arms.”
Miss Stevenion’a Condition Unchanged
Asheville, N. C., Jan. 13.—There is no
encouragement In Miss Stevenson’s condi
tion. although there has been no material
change for some days.
TROLLEY LINES TO BE TIED UP.
The Men on the Brooklyn Lints to
Strike This Morning-
Hrookln. N. Y.. Jan. 13.—That tho Brook
lyn trolley lines will be tied up Is now
pretty certain, but just exactly when is
tho question. From what can be learned
front the men and the few leaders seen,
the tie-up will. In all probability take place
to-morrow morning: at 6 o'clock. The con
ference held with l’resldent Lewis by
the executive board of district assem
bly No. 75, yesterday afternoon, in which
the president refuse! every concession,
had the effect of making the trolley men
more determined than ever to tie up th •
railroads. Several local assemblies met
last night, the outcome being that the
men were all in favor of a tie-up. As
the company offered no eoncession, the
men said there was nothing to do but
strike. The exeeutiie board will not or
der the strike, but will act ns if the men
hate already ordered it by their votes.
Tin* board will pass word along the line
that there Is no compromise and the con
ductors and motormon will do the rest.
District assembly 7’. held a meeting to
night behind chisel Aft r the
meeting Master Workman Connolly said
that the tie up would be called between 4
and 5 o'clock tb-morrow morning. All the
roads tn Brooklyn will be tied up with
the exception of the Jay and Smith
street lines. The master workman said
that the executive committee had decided
by a vote to allow Mr. Slocum, the presi
dent of the last named road, until!( o'clock
to-morrow morning to accede to their de
mands. If he then refused a strike would
be ordered on his road.
MORE MILLS FOR THE SOUTH.
A New Hampshire Company Turns Its
Eyes on the South.
Nashua. N. H., Jan. 13.—The southern
movement of eotten Industries, which has
affected Massachusetts, Is also felt In
New Hampshire. On Tuesday Represen
tative Thurber of this city will Introduce
a bill In the leuislatui • a' ■ ' ,ir 1 sin:Car
to those Introduced In Massachusetts In
the Interest of the Lowell mills. Mr.
Thurber’s bill Is In the interest of the
Jackson and Nashua Manufacturing Com
pany of Nashua. It will ask that the
Jackson company be given the right to in
crease Its capital stock from 5000,000 to
$1,300,000, and that the Nashua company
he allowed to increase from $1,000,000 to
$2,000,000. The bill also asks the right
to build mills in any state in the United
States. These companies have been man
fact urers of heavy goods that have come
j In competition with southern mills. It is
! understood that with tho, additional cap
-1 ital mills are to be at once built in the
j south to manufacture sheetings, etc. The
j Jackson manufactures Indian Head stand
ard sheetings, which lead the market of
the work as a standard. The cost of
manufacture in the south has led to the
determination to suspend further opera
tions in this line here. The mills here
will change their product to finer ones.
The mills nre virtually under one owner
ship. and when the action of their officials
is made public it will create considerable
excitement in the Merrltnac river valley.
AN ENVOY FROM HAWAII.
It ia Believed He Comes to Have a War
Vessel Sent to Hawaii.
San Francisco, Jan. 13.—George H.
Young, who arrived here on the steamer
'Australia from Jlouolulu with F. M.
Hatch, minister of foreign affairs
of Hawaii, says It was generally
understood among the passengers
that Mr. Hatch's mission concerning (he
cable was merely a blind. The real pur
pose was to coukey to Minister Thurston
at Washington soino important
dispatches that the ministry was
afraid to trust to tho mall.
There arc unmistakable signs of, an im
pending revolt in tho islands, says Mr.
Young, and the provisional government
Is seriously alarmed. It is believed the
dispatches to Minister Thurston aro In
tho nature of a request that a United
States war vessel hr sent to Honolulu at
oneo. Mr. Hatch, in an interview to-day.
states that the object of his visit is to
see what aid the American government
will give In laying a cable between Hon
olulu and San Francisco. He refused to
admit that there existed any immediate
danger of revolution in the islands and
declined to say anything about the nature
of the dispatches he had for Minister
Thurston. He, however, thought, the con
spiracy recently discovered amounted to
nothing, and although there are now no
war vessels at the islands, he did not
fear a rising.

Fir©.
Bradford, Pa., Jan. 13 This morning
at 6:15 o’clock this city was visited by a
very destructive fire, which started In
tho. Sheehan house at 99 Mechanic street.
A blizzard was blowing, and the weath
er was intensely cold. Tho firemen were
frreatly handicapped In fighting the flames.
Miss Mary Callahan leaped from tho
second story of tho Sheehan house and
escaped with a broken ankle and arm.
Mary Dorine had a similar experience,
barrinp tho broken lonos.
Mrs. McQuistOti, residing: over Smith’s
grocery, rushed down the stairs to Main
street with her clothing on fire. Tho
flames were quickly extinguished. She
will recover.
Many firemen had their hands and ears
frozen. Robert Sisco had his hands and
feet so badly frozen that he Is In u seri

WATER FROZE IN THE HOSE.
Firemen Have a Hurd Time Fighting a
Bitf Fire in Ohio.
Barnesville, 0., Jan. 13.—The most de
structive fire that ever visited this place
broke out last night at 11:30 o'clock. At
that hour the M. T. Ward notions store,
situated in tho heart of the city, was dis
covered to be on fire. The tire department
was called out and responded promptly,
but great delay was caused in fighting
the fire by tho water freezing in tho
hose. The flames spread with lightning
like rapidity, and It seemed for a while
that tho whole town was doomed to de
struction. Telegrams were hastily sent to
Cambridge and Wheeling for aid. but
before their engines could be loaded on the
cars the lack of water here demonstrated
that their presence could avail nothing,
and tho order was countermanded. By
skillful management, however, tho fire
was confined to the Mock where it origi
nated, which, with the exception of the
Bradtleld Bros.’ big fire proof building,
was entirely destroyed. The following bus
iness houses are a loss: J. W. Judkins,
bools and shoes; R. M. Gunnings, harness
and saddlery store; M. T. Ward's notions
store, It. M. Patterson's grocery storr.
McKecver & Stevenson’s Jewelry store, 1.
B. lans & Son’s drug store, Kinney Ac
Kyler’s grocery store, John Hill’s milli
nery store and dwelling house, and Louis
Meyers' restaurant and dwelling house.
Tho fire is supposed to have been caused
by natural gas. The loss is estimated at
SIOO,OOO, and is partly covered by insur

Gov. McKinley Issue. Another Appeal
for Assistance The Officers of tha
Oriler of United Mine Workers Ac
cu.cd of Itrnorinir the Suffering of
Their Followers The Drlnkina Habit
Larg-ely Responsible for the Destltu*
tion. But tho Starving Wives and Chll
dren Hot Responsible for the Present
Htute of Affairs.
Columbus, o , Jan. 13.—T0-nlKht Gov.
McKinley received a telegram from Chair
man Coultrap, of the reiief committee at
Nelsonville, urKlnir that supplies be sent
to Shawnee and Glouster at once, as well
as to Nelsonville.
Immediately tho Rovomor sent Mayos
Hite of Cleveland the following telegram I
"There Is much suffering for provisions
and .-lothlrnr amnne the miners of the
Hocking Valley and Sunday Creek Valley
of Hits state. It Is of such a character
1 that I feel constrained to call upon the
generous people of Ohio to render as
sistance. The car load of supplies sent
last week has been already exhausted.
Columbus will send a car load to-night
and Cincinnati will commence shipping
her contributions to-morrow. Contribu
tions can he either money, provisions or
clothing. Can Cleveland be ready to ship
supplies by Wednesday, or otherwise con
tribute hs It may deem best by that time?
I will later indicate to what points tha
shipments should be made.”
The car load of provisions that was til
leave here this morning was not sent, hut
will go to Glouster to-morrow morning.
A gentleman, who resides In the Hock
ing valley and Is pretty familiar with tha
condition of the miners there, was hera
10-ilay. He says the miners have been
in destitute elrcumstanees for some tlrna
and that the matter was reported to tho
officials of Ihe United Mine Workers, hut
they practically Ignored the matter, prob-
I ably because they did not comprehend tha
real truth.
When they failed to take action tha
miners themselves appointed commlftes,
who for the last two months have beep
going quietly about the country soliciting
aid, which they claimed fur Hocking Val
| ley railroad men who lost their situations
by reason of the strike on that road last
summer. This, the gentleman claimed,
was done In order Hint the public might
not know that the miners were Itt Impov
erished circumstances. Tho gentleman
said he had heard It charged that the
United Mine Workers officials had advised
that the matter bn kept from the public,
but he doubted the truth of this. How
ever, those officials aro now bolng criticis
ed for not taking an active Interest In the
matter since the condition of affairs has
Iw-en made public. So far ss known they
have not attempted In do anything for the
benefit of tho sufferers.
He further says (he destitution In the
Sunday Creek Valley completely over
shadows that In the Hocking Valley, or
In about Nelsonville, where tho first ap
peal came from. He thinks the destitute
there will have to be cared for till sprint,
at least.
A newspaper man who has Just ar
rived from the scene, says the destitution
Is widespread, and that no writer could
draw a picture horrible enough to do
the matter Justice. He says It Is Im
possible to conceive how such conditions
could exist In a civilized country, and
that It Is a disgrace to the state of Ohio
which will not soon be blotted out. In
view of this fact he Ihlnks It Is well thp
real conditions cannot be presented ta tha
public.
Wloui he asked tho miners how they
would guard against such clrcumslaneea
In the future, they almost Invariably
answered that they would work more and
strike less.
The well-to-do citizens In the Impover
ished district charge that much of tha
suffering there can be traced to the drink
ing habit. They say many of tho miner*
In prosperous times seem to have no
other desire than to enrich tho saloop
keepers, und make no attempt to prepara
for adversity.
The better class of miners admit this I*
true in a great, many Instances, but tlu
wives and children of such men—who era
Hie real sufferers now—are not rcsponslbla
for thla condition.
Hut while these charges are made,
those making them proclaim that this
is not a time to inquire after the cause.
The effect alone must be considered.
NEWFOUNDLAND’S DESTITUTION.
The Government Sending Flour to th
Northern Coast.
Bt. Johns, N. F., Jan. 13.—The officers of
tho mail steamer Virginia Lake, whirl*
arrived here to-day, report Intense desti
tution along the northern coast of New

tills being the laHt opportunity for send
ing relief to the Inhabitants of those parts
until next April. From now until that
time they will have to support them
selves as best they can.
At to-day's services in all the churches

ers to the necessity of their parishioners
Immediately donating money, clothing,
or food for the relief of their Impoverished
brethren, and attention was called to the
fact that the resources of the local com
mittees on relief will be exhausted this
w k unless more generosity is exhibited
