ISSi. BY THE NEW TORK ASSOCIATED TRESS.3 Beislin, Jan. 2. Iteports have reached here by cable that the German Minister to Chile had oilered the good offices of Ger many as mediator between Chile and the United States. These reports have been Femi-officially denied. The Foreign De partment docs not think it necessary to telegraph to the Minister asking how the rumor arose, as no instructions from his Government warranting his interference have been sent to him, and the department relies implicitly upon his discretion. The French Government ii too late in trying to meet theDreibund'sZollvercin by commercial alliances with rarious Euro pean States. The overtures made from Paris to Sweden, Denmark, Greece and Italy are perfectly known in Berlin. These overtures till now have resulted in nothing further than an agreement with Greece and Denmark, both these allies of Ilussia getting the minimum French tariff in exchange' for "favored nation" treatment to France. The Zollrercln Is Too Solid. The negotiations for a treaty with Italy have in the meantime ceased, and it is "not likely that they will be renewed. "With Sweden, France stands a better chance, but nothing the Paris Government now can do can weaken the Dreibund's Zollverein, which ere long will include Belgium, Hol land, lioumania and Servia, and probably Spain. For the solid vote of the Centrists in the Iteichstag, which enabled the Government to pass the commercial treaties, that party is about to obtain the long-deircd conces sion granting the clergy greater control of the instruction in primary schools. Count Von Zedlitz, Minister of Public Worship, will submit to the Landtag a project con ferring power on the clergy to examine can didates for tcachership on religious ques tions. The Catholics regard the concession as one which will enable the clergy to con trol the schools through the teachers. The project will cause a bitter ficht in the Land tag, as the Conservatives hold that it will pervert the character of the Volksschule. Rumors are current that negotiations are proceeding to obtain the adhesion of Russia to the Commercial Convention, but there is no foundation for them. The Foreign Of fice denies that the question of a reduction of the Russian tariff has ever been mooted. New Year xnbcranc5 in Iterlln. Bleak winds and drenching rains ushered in the new year. Miserable weather, ot course, had some effect on the celebration. The rowdy mobs which had been privileged every Xew Year's T.ve to hold the leading thoroughfares against ouiet folks and to in dulge in such practical jokes a crushing theater hats, and carrying off the coats of well-known passers-bv, found a partial check in special reinforcements of police, hut neither the inclement nicht nor the Mrong force of police in the streets quite re strained the recurrence of the old-time riot ins. Mounted constables rode along the pavements dispersing the unruly groups. About 100 brawlers Vere arrested. They are awaiting fine or imprisonment. The court functions on the dav were the same as usual. At the levee held subse quently to the morning service, where all the commanding generals, Government officials anJ court officers filed past the throne, the Emperor wore the gala uniform of a Prussian general, with the ribbon of the order of the Black Eaele. The Empress wore a magnificent court robe. She also wore the ribbon of the Black Eagle and the decorations of many other orders. The Czarina Frightened Into a. Fever. Advices from St Petersburg are that the illness ot the Czarina is a low fever, partlv due to worrying over the plot against the Czar, in which the highest court and im perial personages are suspected of being in volved. Private letters state that some of tluse plots are aimed at obtaining a consti tution by which the nobles and landholders will appoint the members of an aembly. Among the Xen- Year articles appearing in the German press is one in the Xntional Zntung which specially comments upon the growth of the American ITnion as the de cisive factor of the century. The Frankfurt Gazette announces that im mense quantities of wheat and rye have been stored in the P.hine fortresses The wheat, it says, was chiefly imported. The American legation here is busy with the cases of American citizens oi German birth who have been arrested in this coun try for desertion from the arniy. Minister Phelps finds the Government ready to ac cede to any reasonable demand for" the re lease of the returned deserters, even when the laws would permit of their retention, but it would be better if men liable to prosecution on this charge should remain in their adopted country.

Claven at the organisation of the new Board of Aldermen in the City Hall at Long Island City this noon. The city clerk on the President's right was Thomas P. Burke. He is backed by the Mayor and police force. The one on the left was Thomas Curry. His cause is championed by the new Board ot'Aldeimen. A resolu tion was passed recognizing Curry as the prorer official; but when the clerk was ordered to call the roll Burke's voice far outsonnded that of his rival. He was re quested to vacate his seat, which he refused to do. The sergcant-at-arms was then or dered to remove him. Mr. Burke gathered up his book, and the sergeant-at-arms marched him outside the railing. Mr. Burke was in the City Clerk's office when the board adjourned, and two police men stood guard at the door. Mr. Curry presented himself at the door, but was not allowed to eutcr.

Bis Son Confesses That Bo Contemplated Holiberr, and Is Probably a Murderer The Victim of an Unprotoked Assanlt Not Yet Identified Tito Assailant's Story. Xnv York, Jan. 2. Special. Henry C. Turner, Jr., the young man who set out to rob a man at One Hundred and Twenty ninth street and Second avenue New Year's morning, and is suspected of having thrown him into the Harlem river upon finding his pockets empty, was committed to the Tombs without bail to-day by Coroner Schultz. This is the statement he has made to the police : At about 2 a. M. on New Year's day, while passing up Second avenue, on tlio west side, Ht One Hundred and Twenty-nintn street I met an unknown man and accidentally stepped on his foot, w hen ho turned around and kicked me. I struck him in the face with mv flst, knocking him down. Ho got up and walked tow ard the liridse, and I fol low ed witti the intention of robujng him. Alter crossing Second avenue I engaged in a quarrel with him, and struck him again in the face with my fist, knocking liim down. In falling lie struck on the backpf his head and be came unconscious. I then commenced to search him, and while doin so Iaw some men and women coming towai d the btidsre. I ran under the steps of the bridire to hide until they had parsed. After I thought they had gone I went to the man again to rob him. He came to, and we fought, all the" time going toward the river. When wo got near the edge of the dock he broke his hold on mo and fell into tlio water. Young Turner's lather, Henry C. Turner, Sr., was in court. The young man toldhim that the dead man had iallen into the fiver. Turner's father is a painter. The young man professes to be a paper hanger. He has served nine months in prison for burg larv. The fact that the dead man's body floated "all the time that Turner was seeking to es cape, and was still aHit when Policeman Piatt reached the pier, would indicate that the mau was dead when he reached the water. The body of the dead man had not been identified when the morgue closed to day. PASTING HEABLY TWO YEASS. The Woman tVho Bas Actually Eaten Nothing rorC40 Days. AlLEXTOvrjr, PA., Jan. 2. Special" Mrs. Adam "Wuchter, of "White Hall, seven miles from here, whose strange experience as an involuntary faster created such wide spread inteiest during the summer and fall of 1890, is still alive, apparently having subsisted 640 days without swallowing a morsel of solid food, and a considerable portion of that time without tasting even liquid nourishment. Sht is now blind, bedridden, paralytic and wasted to a shadow. Siie began her fast April 4, 1890. A year before that her health had tailed, and all food was reduced to liquid form. But alter April 4 she was unable to swallow anything at all, except occasionally a few drops of water, until Nov. 2 following. On that day the faster succeeded in swallowing a few drops of orange juice, and, subse quently, some beef tea. After that she slowlymended, but still was unable to eat solid food. In June, 1891, however, her condition asrain grew worse, and her suffer- ings have been terrible. Mr. AVnchtcr and the watchers at tire bedside feel sure that the end is at hand. CAN'T STAND THE CAET00NS. TVhy the Boston l-ublic library Excludes the Comic Political Tnpers. Bostok, Jan. 2. Special There has been so ranch criticism of the action of the Boston Public Library trustees in exclud ing Puck from the library periodical list that the board feels called upon to make some explanation, and Mr. Abbott gives these reasons for the board's action: "The children form the great majority of readers of both Park, and Judge. They flock in here after school to look at these big red, white and blue pictures, and the effect is not the best. Judge will be dropped for the same reason when the subscription now paid for expires. "We object to the carica tures of men holding the highest positions. in this country, which children don't know! how to make allowances for. These men are not wholly bad, but the children are easily convinced by these pictures that they are. We have reduced the age for persons frequenting the library to 12 vears."

Overseer Putnam, of Harvard, Forces Hot Shot Into the President. THE DICKEY CLUB BARBARISMS Attributed Solely to His Liberality in Tealing With. Students. OFFICIAL ACTION IS PROMISED rsrr.ciAt, telegram t omE dispatch.! Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 2. There is said to be serious discord among Harvard's officials on account of the exposure of the barbarous practices at the notorious "Dickey Club," and President Eliot's admission that he knew all about it but was powerless to interfere. There will be music at the next meeting of the Board of Overseers, and un less there is a very decided change of base on the part of President Eliot and other members of the faculty there will probably be an official demand for a searching investi gation with a view to wiping out the evil. Mr. Henry W. Putnam, a member of the Board of Overseers, savagely criticised President Eliot's "do nothing" policy in the following sharp letter: "The Dickey Club has become the head quarters ot the worst dissipation and of the most barbarous and degrading practices to be found at Harvard, the disgrace of the college, and the curse of Cambridge wholly within the 20 years Of rresldent Eliot's Administration, and principally within the lsit ID years, Vhen his policy of non-interference with students' misdoings has been in full force. This you call President Eliot's slow, sure way of allowing effect to follow cause natu rally." "It is 'slow,' certainly.but the only 'sure' result of it has been the steady increase for two decades of scandal and demoralization attending the developments of the Dickey Club. The drinking at the meetings has steadily increased during this administra tion. If Mr. Garrison's letter works re form it will be not because of, but in spite of, President Eliot's policy. As a Graduate and overseer of Harvard, I desire to thank Mr. Garrison for doing an immediate ser vice of incalculable value to my talma mater and one which she sorely needed. I wish to thank him still rore, however, for strik ing a blow at the do-nothing policy. IVlll Ironoo Official Action. "President Eliot has made this policy hi hobby to such a preposterous extent that he is to-day very popular with the fast set which rnns the 'Dickey,' and which, by the prestige of that club, draws in and demoral izes many good fellows in each class who should be in different compiny and about better business. Xobody wishes to estab lish a pettv police system by the faculty over the students, but a policy of regulating and, if necessary, breaking up large and well-known organizations of students under the very shadow of the college buildings is essential to the moral welfare of the Uni versity. 'I do not know whether the overseers will call upon the President and faculty for any official actior in the Dickey matter. They certainly will have a chance to do so, if I live till the next meeting and can be present, even if I am the only member of the board to vote for such action." SAIN TO 0HDEE FOR TEN COUHTIES.
