While no additional warrants have been Issued Tuesday, at the Instance of the ennd Circuit Attorney Folk feels with the progress made thus far in the inquiry.

1902, N. Y. Herald.) BERLIN, Sept. 13. Unsuspectingly and innocently Emperor William appealed to the United States and British military experts, Adjutant General Corbin, General Young, General Wood, General Sir John Hamilton and General French, to pass judgment upon hla army after the parades on the Serapelhofer field and at Frank-fort-On-The-Oder.

little dismayed was the Emperor when both.Amerloan and British experts, fresh from the campaign In the Philippines and South Africa, were unanimous in declaring that the Infantry system of tho German army, of which hie Imperial majesty la moat proud and confident. Is Impracticable In action and a. weak unu of the army. Th mperor evening gathered the British and American officers about him and naked their opinions, and at a gala dinner again took Adjutant General Cor-bln. General Toung and General- French to discuss matters pertinent to hla army system.

The emperor showed eagerness to learn the Impressions of these generals, whose experiences have been enriched by active engagements in the Philippines and the Transvaal. The emperor likes criticism and invites It, but he was hardly prepared for tho candor and honesty with which hla guesta attacked the Infantry system aa a primitive organisation, which would tumble together like a bouse of cards under a galling fire of long-dtstanco artillery and other modern weapons of warfare. General Henry C. Corbin accorded Herald correspondent an Interview, In which ho remarked: In drill and compact organisation there la nothing like the German Infantry the world over. Xt would have been invincible la former days, with the calibre and range of guns which permitted hostile armies to approach to within a few hundred yards.

But In modern warfare, with artillery that reaches several miles and rifles with a range of 4.000 yards, tho German Infantry would be annihilated. It would be a shining target If same soldiers should Ho behind embankments a great distance away. The German infantryman. so far a a am able to Judge from tho parades, la made of stern fighting timber, but with the system of solid ranks and automaton-llko discipline, hla fighting force Is reduced to a minimum. Against long range artillery and rifles, in my opinion, ho would bo useless In action.

i Both British and American generals agree In this opinion. General Toung, who comes from tho Philippines, and General French, who was In South Africa, agree that tho compact character and system of Infantry of tho German army would be of no avail In modern warfare. Whoever Imagines the emperor has attained pre-eminence by accident of birth makes a big mistake. The emperor possesses great force of character and la opinionated, but that Is a characteristic of all great men. He believes In the army and his Infantry system.

He clings to the old Infantry formation and discipline, condemned by modern warfare. The emperor also la very democratic and surprises me. He does not permit promotions from the ranks, which explains the lack of petty officers In the German army. In ths United States army promotion from the ranks has proved Itself a commendable principle. It has Its disadvantages.

but aa a rule It yields excellent results. German officers are excellent military men and well trained. wut It surprises me that promotion from the ranks la not In practice In the German army. Tne view of General' Corbin relative to the German Infantry la in accord with that uttered by members of tho British army in the delegation Invited to attend the manoeuvers. Adjutant General Corbin pays a high tribute, to the German cavalry.

He says It Is excellent, and aplta of the fact that the saddles are bad the cavalrymen ride exceedingly well and make a fine Impression. The artillery, ao far aa wa could judge from the parades on Sempelhofer field and at Frankfort," he said, Is also a fine body. As for the scouts, had no occasion to see what they were able to do, but I believe they would do well In a. skirmish. General Corbin warmly praises the liberal manner In which the Emperor has entertained the United States delegation, fte aat to the right of the emperor during dinner on Sunday, while Lord Roberta aat beside the empress.

ToYilght one largo gusher is still burning, sending I. a column of flame steadily upward. Ths efforts made thla afternoon were not successful In extinguishing It, but more boilers have been sent for and tho plan of smothering it with steam will again be tried. The small tank burned Itself out this afternoon and tho big one will probably die out by morning. Many of the companies lost their pumping plants and have wired for now machines and these will be Installed as soon as possible.

An examination leads to the belief that none of the wells have been permanently injured. There Is a new problem to bo confronted as soon as the gusher Is extinguished, and that is the control of the well. Tho gate valve has been malted off and while It Is probable that this can bo replaced by workmen In diving suits; It Is still a problem that may be a hard one. Estimates of the damage still vary, but there Is general acceptance of about as the figure that will cover tho losa The first fatality of the fire occurred this morning when B. L.

Y. Hen aid.) LONDON, Sept. 13. American women who complain of having been annoyed by Impertinent employes of continental hotels will experience a great deal of satisfaction over the outcome of a case at law Just decided In Cologne, where the director of a hotel, accused of insulting a young American girl, was compelled to pay a large sum to the poor and to make other amends to avoid being sent to prison, and the young woman practically dictated her own terms to the judge as well as to the defendant. The central figure In the episode was Baroness Ray Von Wrede, who, with her mother, has just reached London on her way to Join her step-father In South Africa.

The baroness Is a niece of Mr. Lyman J. Gage, former secretary of the treasury, and a granddaughter of former Governor Beveridge, of Illinois. When, some years ago, her mother was married to Baron Hermann Von Wrede, a well known mining expert, she was adopted by her step-father. Baroness Ray Von Wrede arrived In Cologne with her mother and a party of Americans on July They took rooms at the Rome In the evening, when, the ladles returned from calling on the wife of General Von Wrede, Frans Ileh rlon, then director of the hotel, approached the young baroness In a very familiar manner.

The young woman, who Is barely out of her teens. Indignantly repelled the man's advances, whereupon he grew Insulting. Many patrons at the hotel and servants were standing near and heard what passed. The baroness' mother Immediately went to the American consul, Mr. Charles Barnes.

Under his guidance she brought suit against Ileurlon In the courts. When the case came for trial the accused pleaded mistaken Identity as an excuse and offered an humble apology. This, however, did not suit the young woman, who Insisted that her witnesses, among whom was Mr. E. Windsor Richardson, a high sheriff of Wales, be heard.

The Judge advised compromising the case at once, but the baroness gained her point and proved conclusively that she had spent the whole of last winter in London with her family. After her witnesses had been heard the baroness agreed not to press the suit to a termination upon the accused binding himself to revoke the Insult, to publish the facts In European and American newspapers, and to declare his assertions absolutely false. He was further compelled to pay COO marks to the United States consul at Cologne, to be given to the poor, and to pay all the costs of the proceedings.

Before hla departure he wee asked whether he had any statement to mako regarding hla conference with Governor Stone early this morning. He said he had none. The reticence of the chief officer of the miners' union weighs heavily on the business and Industrial Interests of tho strike region who were hopeful that tho meeting between tho governor and President Mitchell would result in some plan for a settlement of tho strike. Ihe silence of Mr. Mitchell Is Interpreted to mean that the Harrisburg conference was barren of reaulta There Is more or lese activity at all the collieries In this region tonight and It Is expected that some of tho companies will mako desperate efforts to resume work at many of tho collieries on Monday.

Fifty men were sent to the Conynlngham mine of tho Delaware company tonight. Tho company expects to start work with a good force on Monday. Tho coal operators say that tho conference between the governor end President Mitchell was merely a friendly talk and that neither party to tho conference submitted a proposition. The operators think the crisis will come next week end that a break In the ranks of the strikers la among tho possl-bllltlea At atriko headquarters. President Mitchell's subordinates claim the companies are in no hotter position to start their collieries now they, were three months ago and that there will be no break In the renlu of the strikers.

of Pittsburg, who came here with Mr. Flynn to attend the conference, went east on an early morning train and It le presumed that he has gone to New York to meet J. P. Morgan and tell him what occurred at the conference. District President Nichols Is the only one of the strike leaders who remained In Harrisburg after the conference.

He Is as retlceht as the others who were present and would say nothing when asked If he thought the meeting would result In a settlement of the strike. An the persons who were present evidently have determined to make no atatement for fear that they might say something that would Interfere with their plans for settling the i strike.

IN LONDON, CLOSES ITS DOORS ON CHICAGO.

MONEY KING. LONDON, Sept. 13. Cl Bridge's hotel, the home of European and Oriental royalty, of British arlstrocracy and American millionaires, has barred the doors of Its palatial establishment In Brook street, against John W. Gates.

In the summer of 1800, when plunging on tho English race course, Oates habits were of such a cuuracter as to Induce the management of Clarldges to enter him on Its permanent list of. undesirables. Upon his arrival In London thla week, Mr. Gates found that ho could not engage hie former' extensive suite of apartments In Clarldgee and was compelled to taka rooms at the more hospitable and lees partloular Carlton Hotel, In Fall Mall. Speaking to the Herald correspondent, the manager of Clarldges said: A few weeks ago aomo one showed ni an editorial In Chicago newspaper, describing Mr.

Gates as the most vulgar of American millionaires. Tho writer must have overheard tho remark In our hotel, for that Is tho name ho earned for himself here. After a few monthsa experience of Me style of living, wa were compelled to Intimate to him that profane language and reckless expectoration in an English hotel frequented by well bred people was intolerable, even If a man li able to write checks of eight figures and lose a fortune dally In stocks, horses end cards. Gates' presence wee really more objectionable, to his countrymen than any one else. Several Americans declared thetr unwillingness to stay under tbo same roof with him and wo frequently told our European patrons not to Judge an American of wealth by Gates standard, as they were disposed to do.
