IN ROLE OF WAR LORD CiERMA5SYS EMPEROR PERFORMED HIS PAKT WELL YESTERDAY. With Sword In Hand He Led a Charge of 9,000 Cavalrymen, Mounted on a White Arab Horae.

CLIMAX OF THE MANEUVERS AMERICANS IN THE WILD RUSH OF THE RED RISSIAXS. Who Fell on the Flank of the German Illnen and Cnptnred 30 Gnns and 2.000 Infantry. FRANK FORT-ON-TH E-ODE Sept. 11. Major Ganeral Young and Brigadier General Wood and their alds-de-camp, Lieutenants McKinley and McCoy, charged with the cavalry, led by Emperor William, to-day.

The Americans did not draw their swords, but they rode with the Gard du Corps, one of the household regiments and the Emperor's body guard. This charge was the climax of the maneuvers. About 9.000 horsemen, lancers, cuirassiers and dragoons fell upon the flank of the retreating blues (defending army), capturing thirty of the lat-ter's guns and 2,000 of the infantry. The cavalry started at daylight, made a twelve-mile curve, and about half-past 8 swept over rolling meadows, ami upon the enemy's forces, which had been theoretically disorganized by a heavy Infantry attack. The 9,000 cavalrymen made a frontage of a mile and a half, and in the sunlight over the open country they rushed at a hard gallop upon the artillery and infantry, which did not cease firing until the horsemen were near at hand.

When the cavalry were within 100 yards the infantry quickly formed into close platoon groups, which the horsemen broke up, galloping between the groups and the guns. Several horses fell dead. The Emperor, mounted on a white Arab horse, directed the movements, and at the finish galloped ahead as recklesly as any troops. The Empress was present on horseback. Major General Corbin and Lieut.

Col. John A. Johnson, Earl Roberts and other foreign guests were on a hill, around which the charge was made. General Corbin said it was the rtnest military spectacle he ever saw. Emperor William's customary salute to the Americans has been.

"Well, how's the kahki brigade?" His Majesty has been disposed to chaff thr Americans a little. To-day they wore blue fatigue uniforms. His sharp eye noted the charge, and he remarked pleasantly upon it. The Zeitung, commenting upon the simplicity of the American uniforms, said: "The American visitors have no need of uniforms to make them look like soldiers." ROERS AT AMSTERDAM.

We wish to be loyal to the new government, hoping that the latter will carry out its engagements." At a subsequent luncheon General Botha declared that peace, which had brought them all they had desired, was due to the mediation of the Dutch premier. Dr.

Kuy-per, who had thus rendered service to the Boers. General Botha also thanked Holland for the manner in which it had welcomed Messrs. Krugr. Stevn and Reltz.

Sept. grand jury in the Old Bailey to-day returned a true bill against Prince Francis Joseph, of Braganza, a lieutenant in the Seventh Austrian Hussar, who was a member of the Austro-Hun-garian mission to the coronation of King Edward, charged with misconduct under the criminal law amendment. The hearing of the charges brought against Prince Francis Joseph, of Braganza, and other men took place In the Southwark Police Court early in July and attracted much attention. Sir Edward Clarke, the former solicitor general, ii fended the prince. The prosecutor altered the charge from "felony" to "misconduct under the criminal law amendment." Sir Edward Intimated that the defense would be conspiracy to rob and blackmail.

Prince Nicholas, of Braganza. and other relatives and friends were in the crowded court room.

Matter That la Rein Dlacnaaed by a Congresa of German Jnrlsta. BERLIN, Sept. third section of the German Jurists' Congress, in session here, discussed the legal regulation of syndicates and kartells. A paper presented by Professor Waentig, of the Greifswalde University, argued against legal action at the present stage of the combine development and recommended self-help for those affected. The consumers, he said, must get together, but publicity in the affairs of industrial combinations must be effected through a state board.

Dr. Kenzel. of Vienna, admitted that combinations are marks of progress, but he asserted that thay must be controlled by the state. He referred to President Roosevelt's recent utterances on the subject, and warned the Germans against Imagining conditions were better here, "because trusts of the American type do not exist." adding: "Under state control trusts are preferable to our syndicates, and kartells, since they are more tangible and easier to strike than our loose combinations." The section finally adopted a resolution to the effect that before any legal regula- tion is attempted all industrial alliances be compelled to give full information to the state officials regarding their affairs, and referred the matter to the full congreoo for further discussion to-morrow.

Arbitration as a means of settling labor troubles proved a decided success in Chicago to-day. One strike was settled, one that was threatened was averted and two were put in such shape that it is reasonably certain that they will be brought to an end to-morrow. The danger of a famine through the strikes of the packing house teamsters and the bakery and cracker wagon drivers now seems a thing of the past. The strike of the packing house teamsters was effective to-day so far as the pickets of the union, stationed all over the city from South Chicago to the North Side, were able to discover, and not a pound of meat was moved by Swift A Co. by wagons.

The usual consignments by rail were made and not interfered with. Through the efforts of Frederick W. Job, chairman of the State board of arbitration, arrangements were completed to-night for a meeting to-morrow between a committee representing the teamsters and representatives of Swift Co. Both sides appear anxious to settle the trouble, and it is believed little difficulty will be experienced in reaching a satisfactory adjustment of the controversy.
