Presses.)
Ikrlin, Pee. 27. The pretensions of
the German aristocrat, especially the
army otlieer. recruited as he always is
from the Junker families, to be treated
ua of a divinely constituted caste, are
undergoing the severest exposure and
criticism from the progressist nnd in
dependent press. The question is beiiiK
discussed whether the army is national,
except in the sense that the ieople con
tribute the rank nnd tile, pay the money
to support it, and allow the aristocrats
to monopolize every post above that of
nou-commissloned ollicer. The notion
that a career of advancement is open
to any man of ability applies least of
all to' the Prussian regiments. Pro
gressist papers analyzing the condition
of the army show that In forty-six
Prussian regiments there are only olll
cers drawn from the nobility, that
in the cavalry with 173 officers, only one
Boursrcolse, and that In the artillery
there Is also a single isolated and prob
ably most uncomfortably situated olli
cer, who does not beloni; to what is
called a "noble family."
This Ei'asp of caste upon otllce ex
tends beyond the army into the lower
regions of administration, where it
might be supposed the junker would
Berk employment. Since the Tausch pro
ceeds opened to the public view some of
the secrets of the secret police service.
It has been ascertained that the greater
numberofthe political police officers ure
like Tausch anil I.uetzow, Scions of
aristocratic families. The same pref
erence extends throughout all branches
of the administration. The dead-beat
aristocrat, the ruined spendthrift, and
other wreckage of the upper cluss, 11ml
refuge In some government post.
A P.USINKSS P.OO.M.
The Der Confektionaer asserts that
890 German factories have resumed
work since McKlnley was elected pres
ident of the t'nited Slates, and that
about 300 factories have increased their
hands. The factories resuming include
L'S woolen goods mills, 15 cotton goods
works, 23 gentlemun's outfitting works
nnd IS carpet factories. All of these
have been closed for several years.
The strike of the Hamburg dock la
borers Is likely to assume an entirely
new phase. The non-union laborers
who have taken the places of the strik
ers are themselves threatening to strike
unless they are paid seven marks for a
day's work and 14 marks for night
work. They have already made de.
ma nds upon the employers for the pay
ment of these rates, and have been In
formed that they may expect the same
resistance to their exactions as was
given to the old hands.

London, Dep. 27, Colonel H. P.
Vhlte und Colonel K. Grey, who, to

ANOTHER KENTUCKY LYNCHING.
The Sixth Incident of the Kind in
That Mate in Six Days.
Owensboro.Ky., Dec. 27. Alfred Holt,
colored, alias Alexander, the murderer
of Police Ollicer W. A. White, was
taken from Jail by a mob at 2.30 o'clock
this morning and hanged to a tree In
the court house yard. This Is Ken
tucky's sixth lynching in six days.
About 2.15 o'clock two men knocked at
the Jail door, and, In response to a
question of Deputy Jailer John Ashby,
Jr., said they had a prisoner they wished
to lock up for safe keeping. Young
Ashby opened the door only to face
two big revolvers. He was overpow
ered and the keys were taken from
him.
At a signal from the two men thirty
or forty others poured Into the jail.
Opposite Wyoming House.
Proceeding up stairs, several of the
mob held Jailer John Ashby captive,
while two others moved on to the cell
where Holt and the five other negroes
implicated with him were asleep. They
were not aroused from their beds till
the keys rattled in the key hole. Then
they pleaded for mercy.
The leader said Holt was the guilty
man, and he alone was wanted. Plead
ing for his life. Holt was tnken out of
the Jail, through the court house yard
to the east side, facing the Ttudd house.
He had time to pray, and then a rope
was placed about his neck. In ten
minutes Holt had been strangled to
death. Holt had only been brought
here a few days ago from Louisville,
where he was taken for safe keeping.
DEATH OF GENERAL REED.
A Distinguished American Diplomat
Pusses A way nt Paris.
Paris, Dec. 27. General John Mered
ith Head died this morning from pneu
monia. John Meredith Head, the well
known American diplomat, was born
in Philadelphia February 21, INK, and
was first t'nited States consul general
for France and Algeria In 1SB9-1S73 and
1S70-72 acting consul general for Ger
many during the Franco-German war.
After the war he was appointed by
General De Cissey, French minister of
war, to form and preside over a com
mission to examine into the desirabil
ity of teaching the Knglish language to
the French troops. In November, 1S73,
he was appointed United States minis
ter resident in Greece. While minister
to Greece he received the thanks of
his government for his effectual protec
tion of American persons nnd interests
in tho dangerous crisis of 1X78. Soon
afterwards congress, from motives of
economy, refused the appropriation for
the legation at Athens nnd General
Head, believing that the time was too
critical to withdraw the mission, car
ried it on nt his individual expense un
til his resignation September 23, 1870.
In ISM, when, owing to his efforts,
after his resignation, the territory that
had been adjudged to Greece had been
finally transferred, King George cre
ated him a knight grand cross of the
order of the Ked Gaiter, the highest
dignity in the gift of the Greek gov
ernment. General Head was president
of the social science congress at Al
bany, N. V., in iSliX, nnd vice presi
dent of the one at Plymouth, England,
In 1S72.

New York, Deo. 27. Edward Payson
Weston, the famous old time pedestrian,
who started Friday night In the lee
Palace to show to the athletic world
that he could walk 112 miles or very
near it, within twenty-four hours, de
spite his f.8 years, failed to reach the
standard. He stopped at 9.50 o'clock
last night with 103 miles nnd two lups
to his crPdit, a performance that Is re
markable when his age Is considered.
At CIS last evening his wonderful
strength faltered, a dizziness overpow
ered him, and he was assisted from the
track ns weak us a baby. Soon after
the wonderful old man was up again
nnd asking what It was all about. He
resumed his tramp, but at a much
slower pace, and he failed to accom
plish the task he set out for himself.
