By noon the croeftls.hail augmented tn su. h an extent that the p.ilice Here compelled to charge them To Clear the Streets. They met with determined resistance but finally dispersed lie riot-- r. The mob in Kaiser Wilheliustrasse was specially determined to hold their ground. Tho. police charged several times with dram sword-- , and finally, after a deter-mine- 11 -- ishthee en the part uf the rioters, w ho ) tight with sticks and stones, they wereeuted. Quite a number of tho mob were fe.crely hurti and all the leaders fell intfiSjfehiinds of lie police.

At Woon another large crowd collected in the opera house square. The police charged on the mob with drawn swords and dis-persed them with little resistance. Seven of the rhjg leaders of this mob were arrested. It is evident the soldiers will be used againstthc riotous clement only us a last resort to establish order. It is believed by many people that the police force is Inad-equate to handle the disturbances, though thus far their onduct merits tho '"lghtest praise, and it is urged that the government should adopt sterner measures to put down the trouble once and for all. Roughs tried to break through a line of police At the Castle Gate and almost succeeded when a force of mounted officer" arrived and broke up the crowd riding down and injuring many of them. Emperor William does not show any anxiety as to tne final outcome of the pres-ent troubles. There was great excitement in the vicinity of the castle at 3:30 this ufternoon when his majesty attended by an aide and preceded by two mounted police-men emerged on horseback from the castle court and rode slowly through the streets notwithstanding that they were packed by excited masses of people. He was ioudly and enthusiastically cheered by the masses through which he proceeded. THE THIRD PARTY CALL. Their rnnventiou to tie Held at Omaha, July 4th The 1'rohlhltlonista Will Have a Ticket Too. St. Lotts, Feb. 3d. The joint committee, in whose charge the matter was placed by the industrial conference, after an all day sesslou, selected Omaha, Neb., as the place of hulding the nominating convention of the newly-bor- third party on July 4th. A formal call was issued. It repeats the platfor.u adopted, and urges all oiti.cns w ho support the demands, on the last Satur-day in March, in their respective towns and villages, to hold public meetings to ratify the demauds and take steps to organize preparatory to electing delegates to the na-tional convention. It calls upon all duly qualified voters in the United States In favor of these principles to send delegates to the national convention. The basis of repre-sentation is four delegates from each district and eight delegates at large tro:n each state, making a lota) num-ber of lTTti. The address, in conclusion, says: "We call upon all citizens of the United States to help us make our principles We believe that, if the. voters neglect this year, it may be impossible in any future canvass to protect the rights of the people aud save the free institutions of OUT Cotttitry. In the name of the rights of the people, the homes of the laud and the wellfare of all future generations, we call upon all honest men to come to our support in this great contest." Chicago, Feb. -- tl. Miss Frances I". Will-ard- , president of the National Woman's Christian Temperance uulou, who has re-turned from the St. Louis conference, said: "The, prohibitionists will hold a national convention in St. Louis on June 80, and that the convention will adopt a platform sound on economic principles, treating of the gov-ernment ownership of highways and the means of communication, monetary reform, ownership of laud, prohibition and woman suflruge. Candidates will be chosen for president and vice president, aud we will have the spectacle presumed of two tickets in the Held among the reform forces, who seek the people's good. The prohibitionists would have been glad to meet the people's party half way, if the woman's suffrage and prohibition planks had been placed in the St. Louis platform. The next step woura hove been a joint meet-ing of the national commons of both par-tic-in w hic h they would have united on a platform for the campaign." The movement for party union hau its in-ception iu a conversation she had with Gen-eral Weaver lust fall.

THE OTHER SIDE, The Views of a Disinterested Divieionist On the Fate of Home Rule at Washington, It Will Prosper in the House But Will Meet a Deadly Negative in the Senate. AN OFF YEAR FOR SILVER. Colorado People Should Settle Down to Diplomacy and Not to Par-donable Egotism, MET THE GAS BOOM EAST. It Is the Foundation for the fira of re In This Empire The Atti-tude of Capital Toward the In-dustries of Utah ExnitOi of t Kentucky Mm 1th, et at, "The bill for home rule will past the house. "The chances for its passing the senate are very remote." So said Colonel Nick Treweek, a divieion-ist republican, wjio arrived home from Washington on the Union Pacific's '"early bird" tliis morning. "I don't want to be interviewed," said the colonel, "I went to the capital on a message that had no reference whatever to polities, but reached there at a time when the debate before the committees was in progress. Some of it was hot stuff very hot stuff especially that which was de-livered by Kentucky Smith, Judge Judd and C. C. Richards. The charges launched by Kentucky Smith himself against federal ollieials was sufficient to kill the measure, and when Judd cot up and emphasized the offense us people who sat there could see home rule bill in a pretty serious condition. The policy adopted by its advocates was essentially wrong. The committees were willing to listen to a dis-cussion on "changed conditions in U(ah," but personal animosities didn't con-ce-them. If the speakers wanted to at-tack Judge Miner, officials In Utah, and senators now in the United States senate, they Bhouid have gone about it under the rules of practice. The committees were appointed to listen to and report on changed conditions in a territory that had hitherto borne a reputation of A National Kenefcade, not to the fact that Tom and Dick were hav. ing a political tight. 'I was present when C. C. Richards made the attack on the federal officers and heard SvJUtor Jones interrogate hint. The sena-tor was quick to recognize that the speaker had mado serious churgee and that they had created a sensation among those present from Utah. It was a serious mistake." "Then the correspondent who traniniitted it was correct?" "I think so." "The missionaries accuse him of distor. tlon." "He is not guilty the reports were y correct that is, Annin was." "What impression wae left by the advo-cates of home rule In Washington?" "I wont say bad that is too harsh but one that wouldn't envy. Iu saying this, however, I do not have Iteferenee to Frank Dyer or to West, both of whom con. ducted themselves well. The death of the Faulkner bill is directly traceable to Ken. tucky Smith, Judge Judd and to C. C. Rich, ards. The line of campaign pursued by them was suicidal from the first Not only that, but their representations became a source of injury to Utah itself and left the impression that it was a good country to keep away from. I was surprised at them mysolf, for it was supposed when the delegation went there that it represented the pink of home rule advocacy." "What was Bennett there for?" "For statehood in preference to a state, as Judge Powers expresses; It, with high water pants. Of course the republicans were there ready to advocate statehood it we had to have home rule, but I Never TV us For Statehood, at the present time myself. It was simply an appeal measure with us, but with home rule knocked out by Kentucky Smith et al, I feel that the fight is a', least at an end for the time being." "Then as a disinterested witness to the fight you are satisfied that homo rule is pigeon-holed?- " "Indefinitely." "What of lilver?" "There'll bo no loeislation in its favor during the present congress. Both parties arc afraid to tackle the question. It has now been recognized as u national issue and I am afraid that even did a bill got through congress it would come In contact with the president's deadly veto. No; its an off year for silver legisla-tion. To be candid, silver legislation has lost ground this year.

A dispatch to tho Timet from Calcutta says the address presented the government by the Bengal chamber of com-merce on the subject of exchange says it is impossible for the men in business to have any confidence in the future value of the rupee. It addB, It is the belief of the mem-bers of the chamber of commerce that there is no complete remedy for the fluctuations in ratel of exchaugo except by either estab-lishment by an international agreement for a system of free coinage both of gold and silver at li.xed rates, or the adoption of the gold standard by Iudia. Failing iu these remedies they see nothing in the fuhue ex-cept the gradual demonetization of silver by one country after another with violent and endless fluctuations in the relative values of gold and silver and the fall In tho value of the rupee is impossible to predict. TIRED OF CONGRESS. The Three Taylors of Ohio May With-draw at the Close of Their Present Term. Washington, Feb. 26. The announce-ment of the intention of Judge F2zra B. Tay-lor, the successor of Garlield in the house, to retire to private life at the close of this congress is generally regretted, as he is con-ceded to be one of the ablest men on the re-publican side of the house. He will be 70 years old when his present term expires,and he has concluded to retire from political life and spend the remainder of his time at home in Warren and iu his law office, in which he lias associated with him his son and son-i- law. Judge Taylor is a well preserved man of his years, and since his entrance in the Forty-sixt- congress has been an active and useful member. He was elected to All out the unexpired term of President Garlield, and has successfully served his district ever since, never having opposition in his own party for nomination, and always being an easy" winner over his political opponent. When Judge Taylor entered congress he was assigned to the judiciary committee, and has continuously been a member of It, hav-ing been chairman in the Fifty-firs- t con-gress. There is a singular bit of history con-nected with the Nineteenth district that has no parallel since the formation of the gov-ernment. Five men only have represented it during the past seventy-fiv- years. The llrst was Klisha Whittlesey, who represented the district for twenty years; following him came Mr. Giddlngt, who also served twenty years; next came John Hutchins, who served four years; then came Jamos A. Garfield, who served eighteen years, was elected United States senator, but before the time came for him to step from the house to the senate he stepped into the White house. Judge Taylor was elected to till out the remainder of his term, and when the Fifty-secon- congress expires w ill have served thirteen years, making a total for the five men of seventy. live years. It looks as if the next Ohio delegation may not contain a Taylor, unless a new man of that name should be nominated. It is said that Col. J. L). Taylor of Cambridge will shortly announce that he. will not accept a renomlnation. He Is serving his sixth term, and having reached the age of 68 years In-tends to devote the remainder of his life to private malters. Vincent A. Taylor of Cleveland also has had about all the honors he wants as a con-gressman. He is a warm friend of Foraker, and if the Shermanites who control the legislature will cease their war-fare and leave Mr. Taylor in a friendly dis-trict he will probably decline the renomlna-tion. On the other hand, if they endeavor to cut him off by constructing a republican district opposed to him he will make a lively contest for the nomination. Itlsmurck Will Oppose the Kaiser. BflRLIN, Feb. 26. Emperor William's speech intensely excites political circles, it being held by some that a dangerous crisis is inevitable. It is reported that when the sectarian education bill in the Prussian diet reaches the Oberhaus Prince Bismarck, at the head of the strongest party ever known iu Germany, will oppose the government.

The hearing In the Utah local government and lintel i bills by the house committee on territories closed today. Rev. J. H. Smith of Salt Lake, republican in polities, and one of the twelve apostles of the, mormon church, made the. only argument. He is opposed to the local government bill. If any change at all is to be made in the existing order of government, it should be iu the direction of absolute statehood. BEFORE HER HUSBAND'S EYES. A Woman Outriurcd by Nep;ro $li00 Keward for the Urute's Capture. Eehalia., Mo., Feb. 26. The people of Sedalia have determined that the punish-ment meted out by the people of Texar-kan- a to the negro ravisher is needed by a negro desoerado w ho startled the town with a series of crimes last night. About 'J o'clock he entered the house of a widow, Mary Moore, choked her into unconscious-ness, stole a fuw valuables and escaped. A little later he stopped P. II. Buckley and Miss Mattio Gilker on the street with a drawn revolver. Miss Gilker tied. The negro pursued aud felled her to the ground with the butt end of his revolver. Buckley and the others coming up to them, he escaped. Half an hour later Mr. and Mrs. Charles Taylor, when on their way home from an cutertainment, were slopped on Broadway by the negro, w ho, at the point of a revolver, told them to hold up hands. Taylor obeyed, and, while the thief was going through his pockets, Mrs. Taylor slipped a diamond ring from her hand and threw it it Into the yard, and hid a diamond breastpin in her dress. The highway man took a pair of diamond earrings from her ears, then, at the point of a revolver, he marched the couple to a lonely spot, there be hound Taylor hand and foot, and, aflcr a desporate struggle, outraged Mrs. Taylor. He then released the couple. The police are unable to find any trace of the desper-ado. A mass meeting was held at the opera house today, and a reward of (1506 for the capture of ihe negro was subscribed. The whole country hereabouts is aroused as it has not been for years.

ALL ARE DESERTING CLEVELAND. The Supporters of the Stuffed lei Scramble to Get In Out of the Kaiu. W vsiiiNtiToN, Feb. 26. The presidential question still continues the topic of discus-sion at the national capital, and yurioul opinions are expressed as to the effect the final declaration of the Albany convention for Hill will hae. Chairman Springer of the ways and means committee, who gen-erally hus been considered heretofore an ar, deut supporter of Cleveland, think - now that the action of the Albany contention practically rules the out of the race. In un iuterview yesterday 8 nger said: "It would be folly for the other states to insist, upon Cleveland's nomination when his own state has unanimously declared for another. If Cleveland's name is to be presented to the national demo-cratic convention, it must be presented by his own state. I always have been great admirer of Cleveland, and still retain much confidence in his ability and his devotion to the principles uf the democratic party Those friends of ids in New York who propose to hold another convention and send another convention and send another set of delegates to the national convention are doing him a gn it injustice. The democratic parly is earnestly endeavoring to reinstate Itself in power. This can only bo done by 'inlte.d and determined action. The bolters ill find no favor with the democratic masses ." Springer further said that, in view of the dc . isions in the state of New York, it may b. fr und necessary for the pemocraey of the Other states to select a presidential candi-date elsewhere. In this event, the democracy of Illinois will undoubtedly present the uume of Johu M. Palmer, I BUSINESS TROUBLES. A Plintlug House iu Difficulty. St. Jo.sKph, Mo., Feb. 26.
