BERLIN. July 1. Prince Philip u
Eulenberg's condition Is such that the
court which Is trying him was obliged
to adjourn today after a brief session.
The Prince was brought Into court on
a stretcher, his every appearance Indi
cating suffering.
Beginning with today, the presiding
judge allowed one newspaper reporter to
be present at the trial to supply such ac
counts of the testimony as are not Incon
sistent with the public morality. The
Prince. In a weak and shaky voice, re
plied to questions put to him by the court.
"How do you explain Ernsfs testimony
concerning your conduct with him?' in
quired the judge.
"Ernst is for me a psychological puz
xle," answered the Prince.
"I know there are bad men,' commented
the Judge, "but in this case you would
have It appear that you are an angel and
Ernst a devil."
Says Ernst Was Terrorized.
"I certainly am no angel," replied Zu
Eulenberg, "and I have many weaknesses.
My best qualities have been expressed, I
think, by enthusiastic friendships and
generous- acts, but unfortunately even
these qualities are twisted by the world
Into meanness and filth. The advice of
the day Is to be egotistic to the very
bones."
In reply to another question the Prince
said:
"I can only suppose that Ernst testified
as lie did against me as a result of men
tal torture, threats of the penitentiary
and the consequent helplessness of his
wife and children."
Pressed for an explanation of his mean
ing in the letter he had written to Ernst,
the Prince exclaimed:
"My God! My God! I was more ill then
than I am today."
Why He Boosted J'tler.
When asked to explain the rapid promo
tion of Herr Kistler, a court councillor,
to whom the Prince was unsually friendly,
the Prince related at length Kistler's
services as his private secretary, his gift
for letter-writing and his ability in Index
ing documents, etc. Continuing, the
Prince explained the letter he wrote to
the Emperor In 1888 in the Interest of Kis
tle as an expression of his wish to see
Kistler taken care of on case of his (the
Prince's) death. Kistler's future 'lay near
to him, he said and as the Prince felt his
relations to the Emperor might be regard
ed as justifying tills letter, he had written
It and given It to Kistler to be used in
the event of his death.
This letter was produced In court, hav
ing been seized in Kistler's house by the
police when they searched the premises.
It was ornamented with five seals and
indorsed "My last request." The letter
Is addressed to His Majesty, the German
Emperor, and In exaggerated language
the writer commended Kistler to the Im
perial favor. In conclusion the Prince
said:
"My last breath is a greeting to Your
Majesty."
After the Jrince's explanation of th
Kistler letter, his breath became short
and quick and he grew so weak that the
doctor recommended an adjournment.
This was taken and the proceedings of
the day were over.

noon session. A jule was adopted limit
ing nominating speeches to 15 minutes
each and seconding speeches to five min
utes each, only two seconding speeches
for each candidate.
Before the names of candidates were
presented the treasurer of the National
committee announced that J17.900 had
been raised in the forenoon session for
campaign expenses.
The first name presented was that of
Frederick Wheeler, of Los Angeles, who
was placed In nomination by James H.
Wotertendyke. of Riverside. Cal. He de-
kclared that the success of the prohibition
movement depended upon uniting all
forces which are contending for temper
ance reform. The California candidate,
he said, stands for constitutional prohi
bition with a party behind it.
Colorado yielded to Texas on the roll
call and Charles S. Pierce, of the latter
state, placed J. B. Cranfill. of Dallas,
in nomination. The mention of Mr. Cran
fill's name was received with much ap
plause. Kentucky, through I L. Pickett, pre
sented the name of William B. Palmore,
of St. Louis declaring that the South
had "much prohibition thought lying
around loose," but that it needed a man
who could concentrate this strength and
brinz It to the polls.
Joseph P. Tracey. of Detroit, was nomi
nated by Dr. Samuel Dickie, of Michi
gan, as "the business man candidate."
A. G. Wolfenbarger. of Nebraska, of
fered the name of Bugene W. Chafln. of
Illinois.
Carrie Nation. Suppressed.
New York presented the naxe of Al
fred L. Manierre. the nominatinl speech
being made by Dr. Charles H. Mead.
North Carolina yielded to the District
of Columbia, and a cheer went up as
Mrs. Carrie Nation, who represented the
District, was seen making her way to
the platform. She declared at the outset
that the candidate must be a man who
does not use tobacco as well as one who
is a prohibitionist. She named no candi
date and was finally called to order and
forced to conclude abruptly.
Daniel R. Sheen, of Peoria, 111., was
placed In nomination by Oliver W.
Stewart, of Illinois.
M. A. Waterman, of Kansas, second
ed the nomination of W. B. Palmore;
Frank N. Band, of Massachusetts, spoke
for Chafln, of Illinois, and H. P. Ter
ris. of Missouri, spoke for Palmore.
Dr. J. E. Stockwell. of New York, secr
onded Manierre and North Carolina
joined the forces of Cranfill, of Texas.
M. H. Kiff, of North Dakota, declared
for Wheeler and W. R. McNlght, of
Oklahoma, speaking for a portion of
his state delegation, seconded the nom
ination of Tracey.
Oregon for Wheeler.
I. H. Amos, of Oregon, declared that
his state was for Wheeler of Califor
nia. B. L. Rockwood, of Pennsylvania,
seconded Chafln. George Hoffman,
also from the Keystone State and rep
resenting a part of the delegation from
Pennsylvania, was for Tracey.
W. C. Swingle, of Texas, made a brief
speech seconding Cranfill. This was
the final speech, and the roll was then
called for the vote.
The first ballot resulted in no nomi
nation, many of the states dividing
their votes among all of the candidates
in a desire to compliment them. Three
candidates not formally placed in nom
ination received votes. These were
Oliver W. Stewart, of Illinois, George
R. Stewart, of Tennessee, and Charles
Scanlon. of Pittsburg. The result of
the ballot was announced to be:
Chafln on Third Ballot.
Wheeler 72, Cranfill 28, Sheen 184,
Palmore 273. Tracey 105, Chaffin 193.
Manierre 159, O. W. Stewart 161, G. R.
Stewart 7. Scanlon 1.
While the clerks were casting up the
result of .the ballot great confusion pre
vailed in the hall, bands of delegates
parading up and down, shouting wildly
for their respective candidates. It was
fully 15 minutes before quiet was re
stored. As soon as the result was announced
Dr. Cranfill announced that he desired to
withdraw, and asked his friends to cast
their votes for Palmore.
The second ballot was -then taken, re
sulting as follows:
Wheeler. 37: Sheen, 157; Palmore, 48:
Tracey, 81: Chafln, 226; Manierre, 121;
O. W. Stewart, 47; necessary to choice,
544.
The vote on the third ballot as It pro
gressed was almost entirely between
Palmore and Chafln. with scattering
votes for Sheen, Tracey and Manierre.
When Missouri was reached on the roll
call Tracey announced that he desired to
withdraw his name, but despite this sev
eral more votes were cast for him before
the ballot ended. The result was an
nounced to ba:
Chafln. 636; Palmore, 415; Tracey, 7;
Manierre. 4; Sheen, 12.
Dr. Palmore immediately moved that
the nomination be made unanimous, and
it was at once carried with a cheer.
Chafln, who was a delegate to the con
vention, was escorted to the platform.
He was formally declared Dy Chairman
Scanlon to be the Presidential nominee.
and In a speech returned his thanks for
the honor which had been thrust upon
him, declaring that he would rather be
the nominee of the Prohibition party
than the successful candidate o. any
other party.
'DRY" TICKETJS CHOSEN
(Continued from First Page.)
An extended debate followed, which
finally resulted in the restoration of the
rules and. a billot for the Vice-Presidency.
Three men were named Profes
sor Watkins. T. D. Demaree. of Ken
tucky, and Charles S. Holter. of Indiana.

whelming majority, and he was immedi

convention.
Both Candidates Tor Governor.
Both the Presidential and Vice-Presidential
nominees are candidates for Gov

Prohibition ticket.
Eugene W. Chaffin. who leads the prohi

siding in Chicago. He is a native of
Waukesha. Wis., and for some years
practiced law there. He was at one time

the prohibition ticket, and was this year
placed in the running for the same po
sition in Illinois by Prohibitionists or that
state.
The forenoon session of the convention
was devoted to the discussion and adop

PARIS. July IS. Count Bonl de Cas
tellane today formally filed suit for re
vision of the decree of divorce granted
against him by his wife, who was Miss
Anna Gould, of New York, such as will
give him custody of his three children.
The hearing has been set lor July 27. .
The principal ground set forth by
Count Bonl Is that the past record of
the Prince de Sagan marks him as un
worthy to be in close relationship to.
the children. The conduct of the Prin
cess in traveling with the Prince prior
to the marriage of the pair also Is In
volved. If allowed to remain with the
De Sagans. the summons declares the
children would be brought up to dis
like their father.
As a corollary, the Count asks the
court to order the mother of the chil
dren to contribute 20,000 annually
toward the maintenance of each child.
M. Chard, attorney for the Princess
de Sagan. had this comment to make:
"Count Boni's modest request for
160.000 a year is a sufficient commen
tary upon this suit."
M. Chard anticipates a long legal
fight, but he Is convinced that the
Princess will win. As much time will
be required to prepare the case. It pos
sibly will not be argued before the Fall
term of the court.

CARLOS NOT ONLY THIEF
Influential Government Officials,
Courtiers and Nobles Participated
In Shameless Looting of the
Kingdom's Treasury.
T.TRRON. July 16. The crowning
scandal of the "Portuguese Panaman"
has been brought out by the publication
of a long list of names of influential
government officials, generals, court
dignitaries and members of the nobil
ity who, like the late King Carlos, re
ceived Illegal advances from the state
treasury. According to the newspapers,
Generals Cruva, Costa and Lopez each
received 8.10,000. The Portuguese Min
ister to Peain. who was recalled by
ex-Premier Franco, drew 20 years sal
ary In advance. The total of these
illegal payments reaches several mil
lion dollars.
The cabinet intrigues here continue.
although a crisis has been averted by
the clever tactics of Senor Castro,
leader of the Regeneratlonists. One
branch of the Regeneratlonists was
trying to oust the Progressives, who
divide the government with them, by
exposing Finance Minister Espreguiera.
At this stage Castro turned the tables
by furnishing the newspapers with in
formation showing that all Progressist
Ministers of Finance who have held of
fice since 1890 also were guilty of the
misuse of public funds.
