Friends of the measure assert that the prospects of its adoption, substantially in its present form, by the reichstag have greatly improved and even its opponents do not disguise their disappointment over the bundesrath's acquiescence.

The centrist press demands ita speedy passage, and admits that the longer the debates last the more difficult will be the adoption of the measure. Nevertheless a long and heated discussion is certain. Even obstruction tactics are hinted at by the radicals and socialists. The agrarian league pronounces the bill to be absolutely unacceptable, and says that the agrarians are profoundly disappointed at the bundesrath's action. The league urges persistent opposition to the measure in the reichstag, and is sending Circulars to its local branches setting forth that all increases in industrial duties must be rejected unless the full agrarian demands are conceded.

Numerous antl-Chamberlahi meetings were held throughout Germany this week and there are no signs of an abatement of the movement. A number of the meetings adopted resolutions which were forwarded to the imperial chancellor. Count von Buelow. A direct semi-official utterance on the subject is still lacking, but a number of the country weeklies, which generally reflect the views of the local officials, print simultaneously an article supposed to have been inspired from Berlin, in which the people are warned against carrying too far the feelingof indignation against Mr. Chamberlain and allowing it to assume the form of general political hostility to Great Britain.

The writer of the article rejects the demand that the German government enter a protest in London against the utterances of the colonial secretary and asks for satisfaction as this would overshoot the mark. The article concludes with saying that public opinion in France passed over the matter with light ridicule, and, asserts that the French w-ould rejoice if all Germans, with the chancellor at the head "ran foul of the English bully's weapon." More significant is the circular which the executive committees of the German veterans' union and Prussian national veterans' union have, as already cabled, issued deprecating the anti-Chamberlain demonstrations and requesting the veterans to avoid taking part in the movement. In regard to approaching action for divorce between the grand duchess of Hesse and the grand duke, grandchildren of Queen Victoria, the Cologne Gazette says it learns authoritatively that no third party is involved, explains that the disagreement is owing to the lncompatability of their temperaments and tastes, and intimates that the lack of a male heir also has a bearing on the case. The paper further says that the czar's recently projected visit to Darmstadt was omitted because of the marital troubles of the grand duke and grand duchess of Hesse All signs indicate that there will be much suffering among the working classes in Germany this winter. The authorities of this city estimate that there are 35,000 unemployed persons in Berlin, and jfrom all sections of the country come reports of people seeking work.

The various German states Iwive begun investigating the number of people unemployed, preparatory to establishing relief works. Committees are collecting funds in Berlin for opening service ALL.

The Ga th-mann aerial torpedo and the big eighteen-inch gun were tried at the proving grounds at Sandy Hook again today. Two shots were fired and the heavy charge of wet guncotton with which each shell was" loaded was detonated. The first torpedo fired did not damage the plate or backing to any extent. The second was more successful, cracking the plate from top to bottom and doing considerable damage to the bracing. Each shell contained 500 pounds of wet guncotton, and 216 pounds of powder were used jto drive them from the gun.

I Mr. Gathmann was greatly disappointed by I the result. He made a careful examination the gun, and, after-satisfying himself that it was in good ordeij, asked to be allowed to fire another i shot. Permission was given and he. invnediately made preparations for -another trial.

"Tour correspondent has received from an authoritative source full confirmation of the rumors of cabinet dissensions already-hinted In previous dispatches, cables the London representative of The Tribune. "The protracted session of the cabinet has been a.

Londonderry a Peacemaker. Lord Londonderry, Sir Michael's closest friend, intervened as peacemaker and a truce was arranged by him. The cabinet has been In- session since breach occurred and there has been a renewal of the unpleasant controversy.

Some of the best, informed politicians are forecasting the early resignation of Sir Mitchael Hicks-Beach. Mr. Chamberlain and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach have neither understood nor sympathized with each other. One has condemned the method of financing- the war and the other has been coldly critical of all matters of South African policy. The resignation of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach would be an affair of momentous importance.

He is the ideal old tory and country squire and has a way of rallying- about him the unprogressive c-onserv at Ives.

Cabinet at Last Awaken. LONDON.

Nov. 16. The cabinet appears to have awakened from its lethargy with such unexpected energy as to elicit from the Gazette the following comment: "This strict application to business is highly to be commended and will be appreciated." This unintentional admission of the cabinet's previous laziness has caused the statement that the various committees of the cabinet, sitting this week, will formulate proposals for the reform of procedure in the house of commons. These proposals will be considered by the full cabinet next Week. Jt is pretty generally admitted that there is crying need of suh a step as domestic legislation, but it is almost hopelessly blockaded.

16. A stir has been created by the rumor that Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, would impose another tax of a. half penny, per pound on sugar, although inquiries by a representative of the Associated press have resulted in the discrediting of the probability of any such action. It is an unwritten rule of the treasury that no industry shall be tampered with two years running, and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach is not likely to break through hard and fast traditions, however hard pushed he may be for funds to carry "on the wur. Nevertheless the rumor has brought to light a curiou's condition of affairs which would certainly favor the government should it decide to take such a step, despite the tax imposed in the last budget.

The British consumer is now buying sugar more cheaply than before the tax was imposed. This is due chiefly to the surplus supply, but also to wholesale price cutting by Germany, whose sugar trust is causing the British trade the keenest apprehension. The action of these- German firms will form one of the principal topics of the susar conference which is to meet in Brussels December 14. Though the United States government has not been invited to send a delegate to the conference, the Associated press learns that St could be represented if it so desired. One of the leading authorities on sugar in England is now endeavoring to secure the attendance of an American delegate at the meeting in Brussels.

Until after the conference it can be definitely stated Sir Michael Beach will not take any action, and even then if is improbable that he will run tlie risk of further disintegrating business, which, on all sides, it is declared, would be in a sorrowful plight. Replying to a correspondent Sir Michael Hicks-Beach "said the coal tax would be continued next but intimated that it would not be Increased. This will take a load off the minds of British coal, miners, who have been especially exercised over the inroads American coal has made on the continent. DEMAND ITS SPEEDY PASSAGE.

Kansas and Nebraska were pitted against each other at the state university yesterday in. the hardest as well as the most interesting football con test that has boen seen on the local gridiron during the entire season.

From start to finishLbbth teams put up straightforward, Legitimate football.

Very little kickiwgwas done by either sldeHyTkrEplays Were almost unheard ofOnly three times did Nebraska attempt to gain grbund in the latter manner, while Kansas did not result to the method at all. Drain, for Nebraska, made two long runs, of forty and fifty yards respectively, by rapid trick work. Both vieri immediately lu front of the grandutupd, and in each case the crowd rose as one person and cheered for some minutes. Long runs were in evidence at other times during the game also. Kingsbury avnd Pillsbury both distinguished themselves in this' line, jwhile Crandall and Cuff in the halfback positions repeatedly carried the pigskin from four to eight and even ten yards.

Westover and Stringer proved) good ground gainers when given the ball, but owing to their physical condition it was deemed advisable to give them as little work in this line as possible. The scoring was evenly divided In the two halves. In the first Nebraska made two touchdowns and Kansas la the second Nebraska-made three. Out of the total' number -Pillsbury is credited with three, Crandall one and Kingsbury crossed the line for the Kansas: men. Drain kicked four out of the five goals.

In the second half two attempts were made by Nebraska to kick goals from the field, but each was blocked by the effective work of the- jayhawkers. Nebraska was prevented from making a sixth touchdown a few minutes before the second half closed fby the magnificent defense of her who braced wonderfully and. heldj on the three yard line. -j Immense Crowd Present. i 1 The attendance-was almost as large as at the big Thanksgiving game illi.

The grand! stand did not till up until later as the places sold were reserved.

This is: a great improvement over the old: exclusively bleacher system of past years where the rule'" of first come first served applied. Al- though the grand was not en- tirely finished, it answered the pur- pose admirably arid the management came in for many gratifying compliments for the improvements which have been made.

The football spirit which was aroused at the b'ij masti meeting Friday continued throughout the game yesterday with the: result that the Nebraska field was a scene of th wildest enthusiabin.

Headed by the university band of thirty-five pieces, the rooters kept up a perfect din throughout the game, showing thrir appreciation for the i fforts of the players in a splendid jmanner. All of the yells which have been used to bother the Kansas men in former years were brought to life, and: added to these was a long list of new ones and half a dozen songs which were sung with a vim. The megaphone choruses which were located at four different parts of the field vied with one another to see which could make the most noise for the longest" time. A parody on "Hot Time" was the favorite piece with the rooters and, at every lull in the play and whenever a man would be laid out for p. minute the band would start the air- and hundreds of voices would join! in on the chorus.

The rooting as a result was very effective and stirred the players to their most strenuous efforts.

The bank Is owned by the Bank or Sioux Rapids and carried a comparatively small amount on hand. The robbers are supposed to have escaped on a handcar, as one belonging to Greenville was found at a Rock Island crossing two miles south of there. The bank building was wrecked. The bank robbers were found in the depot at Albert City this afternoon by officers and a posse. They were ordered to surrender, when the robbers opened fire, wounding C.

J. Lo-dine, city marshal, in the hip, and John Sunbland, a business man, in the sh.oulder. One robber was fatally shot in the stomach and leg by the posse. The other two robbers escaped to the country and meeting a farmer with a team compelled him to drive them east until his team played out, and they met anothej- farmer, whom they compelled to take them farther. They were overtaken by a posse from Albert City and headed off by a posse from six miles east of Albert City, and surrendered.

The robbers have been taken to Storm Lake for safe keeping. The robbers were apprehended through a description given the bank here by a telephone girl at Spencer. Two are white and one Is a mulatto. The wounded man is about forty years of age, heavyset, and wears a stubby, brown mustache. The other white man is younger and more slender.

WRECK THAI WITH UV.VAMITE, Coaches Derailed by Urn Snpposed-. lr Bent on Robbery. YORK.Pa., Nov. 16. The Southwestern express on the Northern Central railway, due in this city at 10:40 p.

was wrecked last night, by a charge of dynamite, placed under the tracks near Black Ridge, a short distance north of York. The train was running at the rate of forty-five miles when thh explosion occurred. Passengers on the i train were severely shocked and consternation prevailed. AJ1 escaped Injury. A piece of rail two and one-haif feet long was blown out of the track and three coaches were derailed and drawn over the ties a distance of 200 feet before the train was brought to aj stop.

The engine had its headlight blown off and the windows of the cab were shattered. The trucks under the express car and the day coach were badly wrecked. Four Pullman cars, a day coach, a combination car and an express car composed the train. spot where the wreck occurred is surrounded by high hills on one side and the Codorus creek on the other and is one of the loneliest places between Harrisburg and Baltimore. It is believed that the object of the perpetrators was robbery.

The police officials advance the theory that the robbers had set the dynamite for the Buffalo express, which is said to carry considerable money, but for some unaccountable reason the train passed over the charge without exploding it. A hole was blown In the roadbed large enough to bury a man. Where thti rails were broken they were cut off as if done by shears. The passengers were greatly shocked, many throwing themselves on the floor of the'ears until the train stopped. A panic prevailed among them until they were assured that the danger was over.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Nov. 16. Re ports of the dastardly attempt to wreck the Southwestern express on the Northern Central branch of the Pennsylvania were received at the office of the company this morning.) and steps were at once taken to locate the miscreants if possible. Detectives were ordered to begin operations' from York and men were also sent from this city and Harrisburg.

There is I little hope here that the dynamiters will be captured, as it is thought they undoubtedly made their way toone bf the large cities before daylight. The -wssecked train was the one which left Washington at 8:45 last night and is due in Pittsburg this morning. The train had left York and was enroute to Harrisburg when the explosion occurred, THREATS OK KltlMI'IXi. tineinnatl Family Frlajhtened by Blnekmail Letter. CINCINNATI Nov.

Leon-aid Smith, president of a manufacturing company, received a letter full of threats of atrocities to be committed on his six-year-tjld eon unless Air. Smith would buy immunity with $5,000 cash. The letter directed that the money be placed in an envelope and left at a designated point at an appointed time.

Mr. Smith took counsel and left the envelope as directed, but with blank moneyl instead of paper within, and placed a man on watch. Two men appeared, but did not take the envelope, apparently being satisfied Jthat a trap had been set for them. Mr. Smith and his wife are greatly agitated and their fear has been communicated to the neighbors, who keep close watch over their children.
