Washington, November 25. The De
partment of Agriculture is just informed
'.' that a person is travelling through the
South and representing himself as the agent
of the Department, and making contracts
for board, lodging, fires, washing, etc., in
the name of what he styles the "Washing
ton Agriculture Society," for a party of
men who are collecting agricultural statis
tics. The person is described as a man of
German descent, about 5 feet 11 inches
high, about 25 years of age, weighing about
150 pounds, wears spectacles, and is very
intimate on short acquaintance. He is a
- man of fair complexion, sandy hair, gray
eyes, and has a light moustache. He gives
his name as C. Hofien. Commissioner
Coleman has advised those who have had
dealings with this man that he is an im-
. postor. n
Early this morning the steamer George
Laary, returning to this city with an ex
cursion party, collided with the steamer
- Jane Moseley, carrying freight to Norfolk,
while off Point Lookout in the lower Poto
mac. The Moseley was considerably dam
aged on the bow, while the Leary sustained
injuries to her starboard side. The colli
fiion occurred during a heavy fog, and the
coolness displayed by the officers of the
Leary prevented a panic among the large
number of excursionists on board.
HERR MOST.
The Trial Resumed Ula Counsel
States Iilne of Defence and Character
of Witnesses to be Introduced.
iBr Telegraph to the Morning Star, i
New Tobk, Nov. 25. The trial of Herr
Most was resumed this morning. Mr.
Howe, in opening the case for the defence,
said Most was not on trial, but the freedom
of speech He did not believe in Most's
doctrines, but the law gives him the right
to denounce its execution as an outrage.
Mr. Howe said he would show that the
man Bchwenk was not in the room at the
time of the meeting, and that officer Sacks
ws not there either. He would show that
the reports published of the meeting were
not correct, and that Most wrote a denial of
the story. There would be produced on
the stand a reporter . who had taken notes
and written an impartial report; -a reporter
who knew something of the German and of
the French revolution. The last of all,
Herr Most himself would be put on the
stand, to tell his beliefs and disbeliefs. A
number who were present would be called
and teil what Most's utterances were.
It would be shown that when the voice
cried "Why not to night !" Most raised his
hand and 8&id "No; patience, have pa
tience." Fanatic or fool as Most might ba,
he should not be convicted on a trumped
up charge.
Adolph Shrenck, as he gave his name, of
Stapleton, L. I., was the first witness. He
' waved the court bible aside and affirmed.
He said he was a compositor. He told Mr.
Hummell that he was not at Kraemer's sa
loon at all that night of the 12th. On
cross-examination the witness said he came
to the United States in 1879. and met Most
two and a-half years ago. Two years ago
he joined the International Workingmen's
party. The policy of the party was to
overturn the government, peacefully, if
possible; by force, if necessary. Witness
was against rebellion. Only a few men
could not have a rebellion. "I want the
whole people to be with us. I do not be
lieve in the destruction of class rule by
force. I am familiar with the doctrines of
the party. That is one of their doctrines.
The International Workingmen's party, to
which I belong, is led by Most. It is the
party of which the Chicago Anarchists
were leaders. Anarchy means that the
people shall rule; not the government. It
means that the government shall be done
away with ; that there shall be no govern
ment, but eyery man shall be free to do
what he desires. The laws shall be those
of common sense. Man's only punishment
is to be himself; his conscience will be his
punishment. I belong to the Anarehical
wing of the party. There are two wingsl
the Socialist wing is the other."
Moritz Schultzer, printer in the Freihert
office, swore that it was he who presided at
the meeting and introduced Most, and that
3chenck was not present. Schultzer stated
that Most had addressed his hearers as
"Fellowrcitizens," and that when the voice
called out "revenge, "Most replied, "not to
day. Revenge is hid in the lap of the fu
ture." Witness insisted that Most had not
r- recommended assassination of prosecutor
Grinnell. nor anybody else ; nor had he
counselled any violation of law. Witness
told the story of Most's speech substantially
' no tuc uiiucxs uau uwue, except in me mat
)' 'p ter of assertion regarding arming. He was
Burn JU.OBI am not say "arm yourselves!
that night.
. Mr. Nicoll hereupon attempted to get in
portions of Most's book on revolutionary
warfare, by asking witness if ho had read
it?
. Mr. Howe objected on the ground that
, the Court had already excluded it.
A hot contest followed, Mr. Nicoll
finally stating to Judge Cowing in private,
that he would prove that in his book Most
Instructed his followers when called upon
as witnesses, only to answer such questions
would prove an alibi or procure their
liberty. Mr. Nicoll was not aliowed to ask
witness the doctrines of the Revolutionary
Society. He found out. however, that Most
was a member of the society, that the
-weapons of the Social Revolutionists were
many, (there was no printed list of them),
and that each person was free to choose his
own,

J Bebuk, Nov. 24. The Reichstag -was'
opened to-day. ; Minister Von t Boetticber
read the speech from the throne. - ' .
At the close, Herr Von Boetticher hav
ing declared' the- Reichstag - open,; Herr
Wedeli Piesdorff, president of the body,
called for cheers for the Emperor,, which
were given with -enthusiasm. The Presi
dent, in his opening address, alluded to the
serious illness of the Crown Prince and the
grief of the country over his fate. The
anxiety concerning his condition, relegated
all other thoughts to the back ground.
Members would join, the President said,
in expressing their sorrow and declaring
that they placed their confidence in God's
grace" and mercy. He asked authority to
convey these sentiments to the - Emperor
and send the following telegram to the
Crown Prince:
"The Reichstag, in profound reverence
and cordial love, thinks of your Imperial
Highness; May God protect your precious
life and preserve it for the salvation of the
fatherland."
The Deputies listened to the address,
standing and unanimously approved the
President's suggestions.
The National Gazette, commenting on
the speech from the throne, says it hopes
the effects of a peaceful policy, of which
the message treats, may be multiplied as
the session proceeds, and that the more ex
plicit statements made in the Reichstag
regarding Germany's foreign relations
may establish the fact that the European
situation is growing clearer.
The Berlin Post is dissatisfied because of
the vagueness of reference to foreign af
fairs at a time when the "red sun of a Russian-Austrian
war is visible in the morning
sky."
The expenditure for imperial armaments
is estimated in the budget at 883,465,016
marks, including 21,000,000 for completing
strategic railways.
Paris, Nov. 24. M. Grevy requested
M. Ribot to form a Cbbinet, and charged
him to convey to the Chamber his massage
of resignation. M. Ribot consented, but
advised M. Grevy, that as the message was
a political act, the tenor of which required
the approval of the Cabinet, the President
ought to confer with the retiring Ministers.
M. Grevy accordingly summoned Rouvier
and his colleagues.
The Ribot Cabinet will probably include
M. Flourens, M. Waldeck, Rousseau, M.
Sadi, Carnot and General Ferron.
The Radical journals strongly oppose the
election of General Saussier to the Presi -dency.
Pakis, Nov. 24. The Journal Des De
bats predicts a definite settlement of the
crisis to-morrow.
Immediately upon M. Grevy's announce
ment of his resignation a plenary meeting
of the groups of the Left will select a can
didate for the Presidency.
At a meeting of the Radicals to-day it
was decided to resolutely oppose any mili
tary candidate.
The Rouvier Cabinet bad a conference
with M. Grevy to-day. M. Grevy inti
mated that he had definitely decided to re
sign. His message will be read in the
Chamber of Deputies Monday. Two
Chambers will probably assemble Tuesday.
Pakis, Nov. 24. It is reported that M.
Ribot, in i second interview with M. Grevy
to-day, advised the President to retain the
Rouvier Ministry in office until he had re'
Bigned.

day. Mr. O'Brien is suffering from insom
nia. Lord Mayor Sullivan has received seven
summonses for publishing in his paper.
The Nation, the proceedings of suppressed
branches of the League. The trial will be

A crowded meeting was held here to-day to

bad succeeded in caotuncg the steamer, to
proceed to other depots and release the
prisoners, and then take refuge in Oran
Two soldiers o! the station assisted as plot

diate resignation. The press unanimously
condemn .ne prolongation or tne crisis.

London, Nov. 25. A letter written by
Balfour is published, in which he refers to
the grotesque episode of Mr. O'Brien's
clothes, lie says. O'Brien is not treated in
Tullamore prison either with leniency or
seventy. He has succeeded in sheltering
..14 a i . . O
iiioiueii unaer medical opinion, - that his
lungs are delicate and his heart's action
weak. Balfour also says if O'Brien re
fuses to wear the prison dress, force will
not be applied to compel him. There is no
reason why he should inot fulfil his term
in prison, but he cannot safely be subject-
eu io me usual discipline.
Pesth, Nov. 25. A semi-official denial
is given here to the statement in the Ber
lin Post that there is immediate prospect of
an Austrian-Russian war. It is stated that
nothing has happened to increase the dan
ger of a conflict, and the remarks of the
Post 'are held to be direstly contrary to the
connoentiai declarations ot Count Kama
ky. OlSeial circles are convinced that war
between Russia and Austria alone is an im
possibility, because if Austria were assailed
uermany ana xtaiy would oe Dound to as
sist her, and the inevitable result would be
a general conflagration m Europe.

An Attorney of Cincinnati Kills

Cincinnati, Nov. 25. A morning paper
says it has been discovered that tbe late
Charles Albert Kebler, a leading attorney,
who committed suicide Wednesday, was
driven to the deed by an approaching
revelation of heavy forgeries committed by
him in the management of estates and of
trust funds committed to his care An
estimate is made that the liabilities thus
incurred amount to about $175,000, while
the property left by Kebler will not exceed
$60,000, Tbe g persons most seriously
affected are bis own family and friends.
Tbe astonishing revelation discloses the

indicate either a deep earnestness or a
failure to accomplish the object sought. It
may be one or tbe other, but which?
