THE MORNING OKEGONU-Nr SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER - 21, 1901..
KEPT LOUBEf WAITING
THE GZAR XOT A RESPECTER OP
PRESIDENTS.
Disarranged the French Programme
for Hi Entertainment Yesterday
A PolItlcal Conference.
COMPIEGNE. Sept 20. Emperor Nich
olas exercised the prerogative of an auto
crat today and kept" President Loubet and
all the French occupants tt the Chateau
Complegne marking time the -whole morn
ing until he had satisfied his desires- It
was fully expected that he would drive
to Plerrefond and islt the castle and
that afterwards he "would go shooting In
the great park attached to the chateau.
AH the arrangements had been made and
t pheasants were brought especially last
tning and let loose In the covers. But
he did nothing of the kind.
His Majesty remained in his apartments
after broakfast quietly until 10 o'clock,
when he took a short promenade in the
gardens, attired in a dark lounging suit
and top boots, with Czarina, clad In her
invariable half-mourning, and followed
by a hound. The Empress carried, her
camera, with which she took a number of
a lews. "Their majesties passed . squad
of Infantry stationed In the park and
the officers gave the order to present
arms. Thereupon, the Czarina photo
graphed the group, subsequently convers
ing with the officer jmd promising that
he should have a photograph.
After returning to the chateau the Em
peror had a long Interview with Wal-deck-Rousseau,
the French Premier.
Count Lamsdorff, the Russian Foreign
Minster, also conferred with M. Delcasse,
the French Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Naturally what took place has not been
divulged, hut it is whispered that the
particular subject of the two Interviews
was the commercial relations between
France and Russia.
After giving It to he understood that
he would arrive at Pierrefonds, the Czar
left he chateau with the Czarina In a vic
toria at 3 o'clock with no escort except
a few detectives on bicycles, who kept
discreetly in the background, thus giving
him the illusion of having a private
drive and the life of an ordinary mortal.
Measures were taken within the nark,
however, that absolutely precluded the
approach of any stranger. The entire
outer circuit of the park was patrolled
3jy cuirassiers, while exrery few yards
along the palisade enclosing the park
were stationed, foot -soldiers with ilxed
bayonets. Numerous detectives, were
hidden in the woods.
The Emperor changed his route quite
unexpectedly, and instead of proceeding
to Plerrefond took a short drive to the
village of Beauxmonts, returning to the
Chateau Complegne at 5 o'clock. In the
meantime crowds assembled in the streets
of Plerrefond awaiting his expected ar
rival. The streets were gaily decorated
by the local authorities. Expectation,
however, was destined to be disappointed.
The route was kept free of traffic by gend
armes, hut all to no purpose.
The streets of Complegne presented a
most animated aspect all day long. In
the afternoon, an dmmense concourse
gathered in the hope of witnessing the
Czar and Czarina drive through a part
of the town or the outer park. But the
only satisfaction enjoyed was the pleas
ant surprise, a visit to the town hall from
SI Loubct.
His progress between the Chateau Cora
piegne and the town hall constituted a
striking contrast upon the extraordinary
precautions surrounding every step the
Czar has taken since he set foot on
Trench soil. M. Loubet gave no inkling
of his intention. The first thing known,
not merely to the general public but
to the police, was when the President,
accompanied by M. Waldeck-Rousseau
and General Dubois, chief of the military
household, emerged from the gates of the
chateau on foot. The road to the town
hall was cleared as well as possible. The.
Mayor, who was at the town hall, with a
view to the possibility of such a visit,
e en had to send -out and gather in the
members of the Town Council, who were
quietly sipping after-lunch coffee in the
neighberlng cafes. The manner in which
the viait was conducted was one of those
charming touches that endears M.Loubet
to the French people.
AH tsaremony was absolutely excluded
and the whole proceedings were carried
omt in the most informal fashion. M.
Loubet chatted cordially with the Mayor
and Councillors, making joking remarks
and asking questions regarding the anti
quities and (paintings in the municipal
collection. Finally he said a kind word
to the daughter of the janitor as he left
the building.
The baptism of the son of the Count of
Montebello took -place In the apartments
of the Czar after his return from the
drive. His Majesty had promised to act
as godfather. It was originally Intended
that the ceremony should occur at the
chateau of the Count and Prince Our
oussoff, Russian Ambassador to France,
had, been designated to represent the Em
peror. Last night, however, the Czar ex
pressed an Intention to act personally, and
the rite of baptism was, therefore, per
formed at 5 o'clock this evening. Only
the Czar and Czarina and members of
the family of the Count were present.
The child was christened Nicholas, after
the Czar.
The crowning- feature of the day's
events was the gala performance in the
Chateau theater which followed a grand
banquet in the famous hall of columns
at which the members of the French Cab
inet, the officers of the Senate and Cham
ber of Deputies and leading members of
the suite of the Czar and M. Loubet
were present. The theater, which is a
small, oblong edifice, and is decorated in
red and gold, presented a dazzling spec
tacle with the brilliant uniforms of the
officers, lavishly embroidered with gold
lace, and the superb toilettes of the
ladies, whose jewels glittered under the
electric lights. M. Loubet entered the
theater at 9.15 with the Czarina on his
arm, Emperor Nicholas following with
Mme. Loubet The orchestra Intoned
""Marseillaise" and the Russian hymn. The
audience stood as the heads of the two
powers advanced to the front and took
their seats in the Presidential box. This
was situated in the center of what would
he the dress circle in an ordinary theater.
It was festooned with pink ribbons and
profusely decorated with roses and or
chids. The programme began with verses of
homage to the Czar, written by M. Ros
tand and recited by Mme. Barlet, of the
Comedie Francaise, the leading members
of which participated in the two acts of
Alfred de Musots witty comedy, "'II Ne
Faut Gerer de Recen." Dances, sara
bands and minuets executed by the corps
de ballet of the grand opera concluded
the performance. Emperor Nicholas
lattghed heartily at the brilliant sallies of
the comedians and led the applause, clap- 'i
p.ng nia hands slowly. He appeared to
enjoy the entertainment thoroughly. The
Czarina smiled frequently during the per
formance, but did not applaud. At the
conclusion cf the entertainment, about II
o clock, the leading actors and actresses
were presented to the Emperor, who con
gratulated them upon the manner in
which they had interpreted their roles.
The upper gallery of the theater was
occupie4olely by secret police who were
masked behind a rampart of palms and
flowers.
The Czar and Czarina took their leave
of President and Mme. Loubet and re
turned to their apartments Immediately
after the 'conclusion of the performance,
as all must rise early tomorrow in order
to leave by the S o'clock train for the
review at Bethany. The review will be
followed by a luncheon at which the po
litical toasts for which all France Is
eagerly waiting will be pronounced. The
Russian sovereigns will then take train
for their return to Russia.

Maneuvers,
LONDON, Sept. 20. A dispatch to the
Times from its correspondent at Rhelms
says: ,
It would be unfair" to tteat Thurs
day's maneuvers as anything but an ag
grandized edition of the set pieces in
British rburnamentE. The scheme'of the
maneuvers was immense. The most? sa-
lient military feature seems to have been
the rapid artillery fire, which was perhaps
never equaled before.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says that there was great disappointment
at Dunkirk becaie of the omission at the
naval review of an Intended display by
three submarine vessels, which was not
given, owing to the Tough weather. The
submarines were to circulate around the
fleet under water, discharge toTpedoes and
then to make maneuvers on the surface.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ALLIANCE.
Five Years Ago the , Czar "Was
France's KrJend, Now Its Ally.
NEW YORK, Sept 20. Commenting on
the visit of the Czar to France, the Paris
correspondent) of the Tribune says:
The receptions accorded the Czar and
Czarina, and carried out under the most
brilliant auspices at Dunkirk, Complegne
and Rhelms, has aroused enthusiasm
throughout France quite equal to that
which characterized the imperial visit
five years ago. The expressions, "friend"
and "ally," made use of by Nicholas II
and President Loubet? in their toasts and
speeches, are felt here to be no mere
empty compliments, but as indicating in
simplest language the real strength and
significance of the dual alliance which
has now been an accomplished fact of 10
years, and the allusion made by President
Loubet in calling attention to the fact that
it was Alexander RIbot, Minister of For
eign Affairs, In 1892, who was at that
early date the principal architect of the
Franco-Russian alliance, is regarded as
a graceful act of personal justice.
The great prominence given to the mili
tary and naval features of the Imperial
visit is explained by the fact that five
years ago Nicholas XL came here as the
friend, while he is now here as the ally,
and in this latter capacity he Is. follow
ing out his own strong personal desire to
become familiar with the French Array
and Navy. Indeed, during the outing in
the field during the maneuvers the Czai
galloped about the troops regardless of
prescribed arrangements or protocol and.
made close examinations of squadrons,
companies and batteries at his own free
will, and this nersonal insnection of the
'French soldiers in their campaigning kit
evidently gave Emperor Nicholas great
satisfaction. .
Special significance is attached to this
because the Nationalists and reactionary
newspapers have been giving undue prom
inence to two incidents of insubordination
which took place last? week among the
newly joined men belonging to two in
fantry regiments who broke loose from
discipline after a hard day's march and
sang the revolutionary "Carmagnole."
This is being worked for all It is worth
by the opposition press in endeavor to
discredit General Andre, Minister of War,
and M. "Waldeck-Rousseau's Cabinet.
Meanwhile, all foreign officers who have
followed the present maneuvers do not!
hesitate to declare that never has the
French Army been In more efficient con
dition than at present, when needless show
of fuss and feathers is eschewed and business-like
simplicity and practical meth
ods are apparent In each branch fo the
service, and, above all, class favoritism
is suppressed. On the whole, the French
Nation appears to be stirred with pride
as intense as during the former visit of
2sichola.s H, and Vtiere Is so far not the
slightest evidence that the Franco-Russian
alliance has lost one whit of Its at
traction for Frenchmen of all shades and
convictions in Paris and throughout the
country.
TINWORKERS WILL SEGEDE.
Prcparlns to "Withdraw Prom the
Amalgamated Association.
PITTSBURG, Sept 50. A committee, of
tlnplate workers met today and formu
lated plans for a new organization. They
will recommend their adoption at a gen
eral meeting tomorrow. District Manager
Phillips, of the American Tinplate Com
pany, was in New York today and could
not he communicated with. The commit
tee, believing that he would recede from
his position of yesterday, completed its
plans for a secession from the Amalga
mated Association, which, it is said, will
be Tatltted tomorrow. r
"With few exceptions work was resumed,
at least in a measure, in the combine
steel mills today, and If the disgruntled
tinworkers can be conciliated by next
Monday all the plants will be in full op
eration. At McKeesporr, all the plants but on
rolling mill, where the men still insist
upon recognition, were running full, and
the strike was regarded as a memory.
President Shaffer was not at his office
this morning. It was said that he was
working on a statement, and that It
would probably be issued tomorrow. The
Amalgamated Journal, commenting upon
the New York settlement, says:
"The causes that led up to this unsatis
factory settlement were the overwhelm
ing odds that the men had to battle
against the daily press, public opinion,
the advice of prominent labor leaders and
the withdrawal of credit by merchants."
Broke Up the Sophomores.
TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 20. Some days ago
the citizens' committee notified the strik
ing members of Reslstencla Union that
the souphouses established by the union
must close, claiming that they encour
aged cigarmakers to remain idle: Most
of them were closed, but today citizens
visite dseven of them, poured the soup on
the ground and put out the fires. Some
of the cigarmakers assisted in the work.
Six hundred strikers have returned to
work.
STATUE OF KING ALFRED.
Unveiled at "Winchester Before a
Vast Crowd.
WINCHESTER. Eng.. Sept 20. In the
presence of a vast concourse of Anglo
Saxon delegates and officials, Lord Ros.e
bery today unveiled the great statue of
King Alfred. In the course of his eulogy
of the Saxon King Lord Rosebery said:
"King Alfred wrought immortal work
for us and for our sister nation over the
sea, which, in the supreme moments of
stress and sorrow, is irresistibly joined 'to
us across the centuries and across the
sea,"
The City of Winchester was in holiday
garb,, business was stopped and the main
thoroughfares were lined with troops. A
great procession, military, naval, civic,
ecclesiastical and academic preceded the
unveiling.
In the absence of Mr. Choate, theUnited
States Ambassador, from the luncheon at
the Guild Hall, Charles Francis Adams
responded in behalf of the American dele
gates. He took occasion to mention the
appreciation of the Americans for the
deep, spontaneous, all-pervasive, sincere
sympathy manifested by Great Britain at
the time of America's National bereave
ment. Poem on the Coincidence.
LONDON, Sept 20. The Times this
morning publishes a short poem, of which
the theme Is the coincidence of the funeral
of President McKlnley and the celebrating
of the millenary of King Alfred the
Great taking place at the same time. Fol
lowing Is the closing stanza:
Up with our hearts and over sea
Swift be the words ot friendship sped;
You praise our hero King, and wo
Lament with you your patriot dead.
In sorrow's name one boon we crave
Lay England's wreath upon his grave.

HER HEALTH IS BETTER
MRS. M'KINLEY ISv RECOVERING
FROM THE SHOCK.
She "Was Permitted Yesterday to
Visit the Vault in Canton
Cemetery.
CANTON, O.. Sept. 20. Shortly after
noon today Mrs. McKlnley expressed a
desire" W be taken td the cemetery. This
request was readily acceded to by Dr.
Rlxey, who, with an attendant, escorted
her In a closed carriage. They were ac
companied by Mrs. Barber. At the ceme
tery a throng which quickly gathered
about the carriage was -dispersed by the
soldiers on guaTd, and Mrs. McKlnley was
driven over the lawn "directly In front
of the vault. The military guard gave a
formal salute. "When she saw the beauti
ful array of floral pieces, Mrs. McKlnley
expressed gratification, but was appre
hensive lest Injury be done to her hus
band's body. She was assured by Dr.
Rlxey that the military guard would be
maintained 90 days, at the expiration of
which time the body would be securely
placed In the vault and locked.

ROOSEVELT'S FOREIGN' POLICY.
As Summed Up by a London
Journal.
LONDON, Sept. 20. Commenting upon
the accession of Mr. Roosevelt to the
Presidency, the Statist decries the Idea
that he Is an Imperialist In an aggressive
sense, and expresses the opinion that he
will maintain the present excellent finan
cial status of the United States.
The Spectator, which appears In black
borders for Mr. McKlnley, devotes much
space to comment upon the sad event of
his death. "With reference to the new
President, it says:
''He will be thoroughly an American
President. As proof of his statesmanlike
moderation, we note his retention vin 'the
.Cabinet of Mr. Hay,-one 'of the ablest
and most sincerely patriotic of Jiving
American statesmen. ,
"President Roosevelt will not try to
quarrel with Englana," but he wil show
her no special favors., The chief danger
before him is that, while insisting upon
the policy of 'hands off, he may come
into violent collision with Germany and
that this collision may came while Amer
ica is not prepared and Germany Is .pre
pared. We may be sure Germany will
only respect .the Monroe Doctrine' so long
as she feels too weak at sea to challenge
it."
Summing up President Roosevelt's for
eign policy, the Spectator says:
"It will be neither for nor against
England, but merely for his own country..
This should not bring about any diplo-1
matlc hitch between England and Amer.
lea. Mr. Roosevelt's declaration regard
ing the Nicaragua Canal in no way con
flicts with what Is beat for England."
After deprecating the Idea of Great Brit
ain urging that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
gives her any right to veto, as compared
with the importance of having the canal
made, and made by a friendly power,
the Spectator concludes as follows: "
"The outburst of English national feel
ing for America in her great sorrow,
gives our government an unique opportu
nity of going asleep by giving America
a free hand on the Isthmus and accepting
the Monroe Doctrine, despite the protest
of other European powers."
TRIBUTE OF ONE "WHO KNEW HIM.
Secretary Gage's Announcement of
the Death of the President.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. Secretary
Gage today Issued the following announce
ment of the death of President McKlnley:
"It has been thought proper to make
the sad but official announcement In this
Issue of Treasury Decisions of the tragic
death of William McKlnley, the 25th Pres
ident of the Ignited States, and to give
some expression of that tribute which his
character and deeds compel. It needed
not the shadows of death to make the
figure of the late President loom large
In the estimation of mankind. The Re
public he loved, he lived to broaden and
unify as no previous President had done.
Under his prudent and far-seeing states
manship, It took exalted pjace in the
community of nations. From his place as
private citizen, on through many and
Increasing honors to his final post as ruler
of his people, he remained true to the j
highest Ideals. By the people of the Na
tion .at large and by the world ne -was
known and will live In grateful annals
as a gentleman of large heart, an af
fectionate husband, a sturdy friend and
a faithful and Illustrious President. In
a long public life, ever open to his fel
lows, nothing was ever found, even by
intemperate partisan zeal, that would cast
a shadow on his character. The kind and
unselfish attributes which his colleagues
know and loved, the public felt, and now
men of every faith and following join In
reverent acknowledgment of those dis
tinctive virtues and abilities that llft,hlm
among the truly great of all ages.
"The passage of Presidents and Kings
usually evoke tributes of praise, but In
William McKInley's life there was an ele
ment that made him more than ruler, and
jvhlch In the hour of his death Is above
the tribute of speech ana tears. Tne orai
nary tributes paid to the memory of the
great when they pass from earth utterly
fail to satisfy the mind In an attempted
application of them to our dead President
,"L.. J. GAGE, Secretary."

Additional Details of His Latest Ac
clflerit. NEW YORK, Sept. 20. The Paris edi

details concerning the latest smash of
the air ship of M.' Santos-Dumont. The
Herald says:
M. Santos-Dumont's balloon had a bad
smash up. Santos-Dumont's destiny ap-

pears to be success followed by accidents.
After the catastrophes of July 13, August
8 and September 6, it might' be thought
that ill luck had lasted long enough and
that thenceforth good luck in his experi
ments would be unmixed. In the latest
attempt the chances seemed entirely In
his favor. There was no wind, and the
steerablo balloon was In perfect form.
All the conditions so long and patiently
waited for appeared to be combined. The
aeronaut passed the night at the Pavilion
de Longchamps close to the balloon-
houge, to take advantage of the early
inprnlns hours .and the favorable condi
tions ao raje a this period of the year.
Starting from the Pare D'Aero Station, he
crossed! the Seine without difficulty and
maneuvered for an hour with perfect suc
cess over the course at Longchamps.
Everything went as wall as could be de
sired and, M. Santos-Dumont decided to
devot the' entire day to his aeronautic
experiments,' reserving two hours to mak
ing a call In ,the .car t at a restaurant Jjy
tlSj.Bose for breakfast. .But he ,.wasr sud
denly stopped from' a wholly insignificant
cause.
For some minutes after observing that
the ever capricious petrojeum motor was
working irregularly, he 'remained near t'ne
center of the racecourse In order to have
a place for coming to .the ground In the
event of the motor .stopping, As his
friends gathered In a group at one end of
the racecour&e, he directed his course to
ward them to ask them to come nearer
t'he center. At this moment, when wheel
ing round at great speed, like an automo.
bile when turning the corner of a street,
the balloon was driven against some high
trees. Its cover brushed the branches
sllghtty, but enough to cause mischief. In
an Instant It was in ribbons and complete
ly empt'ied of Its 662 cubic meters of hy
drogen. The frame bearing the works of the mo
tor broke as soon as It touched the
ground, but the aeronaut remained stand
ing In the car uninjured in the midst of
splinters of wood and strips of torn silk
and a tangled web of steel and wire.
Much vexed, in reality, at the loss of his
new balloon, constructed with so much
care, but to all appearances unmoved, M.
Santos-Dumont shook hands with hla
friends who surrounded the car and told
them he regretted above all the delay
which I'his catastrophe would Involve in
the experiments, for the vast amount of
damage done to the cover, frame and en
gine would take several weeks to repair.
Moreover, his workmen were greatly worn
out by their assiduous toil ever since last
May, and fine days are becoming so few
and far between that the complete suc
cess reasonably reckoned upon this year
is seriously compromised.
Nevertheless the aeronaut, whose per
severance is the object of admiration of
all who are able to appreciate it, forget
ting the strain upon himself, will con
tinue to pursue his enterprise and will set
patiently to work to resume his experi
ments directly the Santos-Dumont VI Is
repaired, provided the atmospheric con
ditions are favorable In October, or even
in November. When Winter arrives he
will seek under a milder climate the con
ditions of temperature necessary for his
experiments.

TAKES- UP THE REINS
ROOSEVELT AND HIS CABINET MET
AT THE "WHITE HOUSE.
General Review of the Important
Questions Before the Administra
tionLong; Will Retire Soon.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. After a sus
pension of three days as a mark of re
spect to the dead President, the buslnes's
of the Government at Washington was
resumed at 9 A. M. today. The train bear
ing President Roosevelt and the members
of his cabinet arrived at the Pennsyl
vania station at 9:20 o'clock, and 15 min
utes later the President entered the
White House and going at once to the ele
vator proceeded to the cabinet-room,
where President McKlnley was wont to
do the greater part of his work.
When the new Chief Executive reached
the White House he walked briskly to the
"big front door, which swung wide open to
receive-him. He spoke pleasantly as he
passed to the watchman and other em
ployes of the mansion, and, reaching his
office, was joined almost immediately by
Secretary Long, who did not go to Can
ton to take part in the funeral ceremonies.
Soon afterward Senator Cullom called to
pay his respects, and following him came
Senator Proctor, one of the President's
close personal friends.
Secretary Long Informed the President
,as to the condition of affairs In his office
and was asked as to the work In the
Schley court of Inquiry. With Senator
Cullom President Roosevelt exchanged
pleasant greetings and received the as
surances of the support of the Illinois Sen
ator. With Senator Proctor there was a
similar exchange of expressions of gooa
will. ,
The President's secretary, Mr. Loeb,
Jr., will remain with him, probably
as assistant secretary. Mr. Cortelyou at
President Roosevelt's earnest request will
retain his position as secretary to the
President.
At 11 o'clock all the members of the cab
inet except Attorney-General Knox had
arrived at the White House, and soon
were seated around the familiar table.
President Roosevelt occupied a seat at Its
head and In the chair long occupied by
his predecessor. The gloom and solemnity
which characterized the meeting was not
unbefitting the occasion.
Nearly all the members of the present
cabinet are sure to remain during Mr.
Roosevelt's term, but It Is very probabte
that Secretary Long will retire within
the next few months. He feels that he
can resign without embarrassing Mr.
Roosevelt, and therefore It is thought
that he will ask the President to permit

President, Secretary Root and General
Wood, Governor of Cuba, held a long con

visit will be the Issuance of orders.soon
makings reductions In certain cases in the
Cuban tariff, of which the most Important
will be on sugar, machinery and materials
for railroad building. It having been den.
nltely determined that no general revision
of the tariff will be made till the Cuban
Government is formed, the special reduc
tions will be made by the War Depart
ment "About 1:30 o'clock President Roosevelt
left the White House to go to the resi
dence of his sJster, the wife of Com
mander Cowles, of the Navy, for luncheon.

and alone. No one had known when he
would leave his office, and as he passed
briskly out of the grounds of the Execu
tive Mansion ho attracted little attention.
He crossed Pennsylvania avenue into La
Fayette Square, and thence up Sixteenth

an hour and a half he returned to the
White House, still alone and still walk

Senator Hoar's Counsel.
WORCESTER. Mass., Sept 20. At the
memorial exercises In Mechanics' Hall
Senator Hoar, the principal speaker, said:
"We shall, I hope. In due time, soberly,
when the tempest of grief has passed by,
find means for additional security agalntt
a repetition of a crime like thlA We
shall go as far as we can without sacri
ficing personal liberty to repress the doc
trine which In effect Is nothing but coun
seling murder. We shall also. I hope,
learn to moderate the bitterness of po
litical strife and to avoid the savage at
tack on the motive and character of men
who are charged by the people with
public responsibilities in high places. The
moral is not that we should abate our
zeal .for righteousness and our condem
nation of wrong, but that wo should
abate the severity of our judgment of the
motives of men from whom we differ."
"Warned Apalnst Mob Rule.
BLOOMINGTQN, 111.. Sept. 20. Speak
ing at the McKlnley memorial exercises
here. ex-VlcexPres!dent Stevenson said:
"It avall3 little to hurl denunciation
against the head of this assassin. Within
a few days at most he will, under the
forms of law, suffer the death penalty for
his crime. It Is but cheap courage at
best, whether from the street or from the
pulpit, for any man to declare that had
he been present he gladly would have
been the avenger. Such teaching is a
menace to the well-being of society. It
may be that the temptation Is often
great to. take the law into our hands.
But let It not be forrotten that by so
doing we weaken the bonds of society
Mob rule Is destructive of all govern
ment." "Herr Most Arraigned.
