The Princess, Careless of Her Future, Ac cepts the Emperor's Hand AT THE INSTANCE OF MB PABEKTS ' The death of the ex-Empress Augusta yes terday recalls a romantic episode in her life. When a girl of 17 she fell in love with a gay young Frenchman. For & long time they carried on a secret correspondence, which was finally revealed by the discovery of a letter, planning an elopement to Amer ica. The lover was shot dead in a dnel and died clasping a handkerchief, the gift of his beloved. tBT CABLE TO THS rjISrATCH.'l Beeldt, January 7. The Dowager Em press Augusta, who has been ill for some days, died this afternoon at 4:30. The Em peror and Empress, and their two elder sons, Crown Prince "William and Prince Freder ick, with the Grand Duke and Duchess of Baden, were with her when the dread sum mons came. The Dowager Empress was 78 years old, having: been born September 30, 1811. A member of the suite of one of the best known among our Princes tells a romantic story concerning the dead Empress Au gusta. And it is believed that it has never before been given to the public Augusta was a Princess in the petty court of Weimar where Bhe was hedged about with all the EtraighVl&eed etiquette the small German principalities affected. THIS BOMAKCE OF HEE IiTPE.- When she was 17 she was a romantic girl, and had learned by heart the stories of the previous half century's gallantries at the Court of Louis Qnatorze, and so well had she read that she was prepared, to fall in love with any man who might first appeal to her sense of beauty. But the rigid sur veillance of her ducal father and mother made male acquaintances almost impossible. Before, this romantic spirit had "lived long enough to die" a young French noble, scion of a more or less long lineage, stopped at the Court of Weimar, in the progress of a pleasure jauut from Ausurne. He re mained for some weeks at the palace, and became the favorite of the Duke. He was accomplished, handsome and a dare-deriL nntr wra SECM-t trfiiiCHi onr. I At a court ball shortly following his ar rival the Frenchman met the Princess. They were permitted to become partners and indulged in mutual love at first sight. This love "soon developed into indiscretion, which took the form of secret meetings in the pal ace grounds. The only people aware of these meetings were the maid and valet of the principals, who served as the medinm through which the correspondence was car ried on and the meetings arranged. The maid, whether through careless ness or spite, lost one of the letters Intrusted to her and it was picked up by the Duchess, mother to Augusta, before the maid could recover it The letter was impassioned and eloquent, burning with the Jove-song of the smitten Parisian, and filled with all those pretty words that came in with the Grand Honarque. This was all very well, for the two were young, but it led up to the suggestion of an elopement, implored a flight, pictured the ideal life of love on the pastoral lands of the new America. THE liOTKB SHOT IS A DUEL. The Duke and the Duchess were con sumed with rage at this discovery and poured forth their indignation in great volume. So high did the feeling run in the court that the ducal chamberlain chal lenged the Frenchman to a duel, and the lover fell mortally wonnded. As he fell the Frenchman tore open his tunic, and there pressed against bis heart was a hand kerchief belonging to the Princess. Toward it bis hand feebly moved, and he died at the moment he had seixed the lace and was struggling to carry it to his lips. Tbe Duchess was so affected by the inci 'dent that she silently placed the handker chief on the breast of tbe yonng man us he lay in tbe coffin, and it was buried with him. His body was covered with, roses strewn upon him by the devoted Augusta, and she, from swoons and sobs, became hys terical and almost crazed. m ncit 5IAUKIAOE TO THE EMPEBOR. Tor uetk the Princess sobbed aad sadly moped about the palace until her parents were convinced that her sorrow must have some relief or she would become insane. They suggested a marriage with Prince "William, of Prussia, and the Princess gave her indifferent consent, careless of what might become of her. "With "William itwasa matter of equal unimportance, for he had first been crossed in a love affair and he was heart broken as well. There was no misunderstanding between them on the subject of their marriaze; it was an affair exclusively of the parents and of an obedient but disconsolate youth and maiden. During their lifetime the Emperor "William and the Empress Augusta maintained toward each other the most perfect and severe politeness; they were friends, they respected each other, but that was all. THE MESIOBY OF EAELY LOVE. They were not lovers and they could not tear from their heart the memories ot their early Jove and disappointment. The Em press always preferred French books, ideas, dress, sentiment, and it was her favorite language. The influence of that unhappy loss when she was adolescent, remained with her until her last moment, and she doubt-, less carried the secret recrets to her grave. Tears have effaced remembrance of the affair, and It is safe to. say that less than a dozen great personages know of it to-day. It Js a fact but little known that since the operation for cancer in the breast, which the Empress submitted to ten years ajro with such unfailing courage,-'Her Majesty -subsisted almost exclusively on liquid food, as solid nourishment was too heavy for her digestion.

On her right hand is laid a spray of Illy of the valley. Her head reposes upon white pillows, aDd her face is wrapped around with a covering of white lace.

Portngnl Will Order set-pa Pinto Not to Anger the British Lion Again. Lisbon, January 7. Senor Gomez will answer the ilarquls of Salisbury's latest note at the end of tbe week. Salisbury's note was of a menacing, peremptory character, requiring Portugal to act at once, as if the rectitude of England's position in the case was beyond all doubt. It is believed that Portugal cannot con cede so much, but that the "Foreign Minister will intimate the willingness of tbe Portuguese Government to order tbe maintenance of the statu quo in Africa, 'pending negotiations, if England will do the Fame. Tho main point of the Portuguese answer will meet. In part at least, tbe terms of Salisbury's demand, which was that the Portuguese Gov ernment should immediately give to its agents In Africa such Instructions as would prevent the repetition by Serpa Pinto or by any other of acts similar to those attributed to Serpa Pinto, as otherwise tranquil diplomatic discus sion would be impossible.

The best information obtainable to-day was that the royal patient had suffered a' turn for the worse.

Lieutenant Governor Lanpson Expecting to be rred Out'To-Diy.. Mural Halstead's reasons for his tight on Foster are made apparent.

Several McKinley members still want the Major honored with the empty honor, to help his Presidental boom. Brlce's latest figures give him tbe nomination not later 'than the third ballot. Lieutenant Governor Xampsoa may be fired out to-day. fFSOK A STAFF COEEESPONDENT.1 Columbus, O., January 7. The secret of Murat Halstead's bitter attack upon ex Governor Foster, in connection with, the Bepublican nomination for United States Senator, has been discovered. Of course, his personal dislike tor Mr.JFoster plays a prominent part, but beyond that there is a deeper reason. The ever-sanguiue Halstcad believes it is possible to keep Brice put of the Senate, the Democratic caucus nomi nation to the contrary, notwithstanding. He has two plans for this purpose. One hope is that a sufficient number of Demo crats will decline to vote for Brice and join with the Eepublicans in selecting some other'individual. The second scheme is to contest the election on. the ground of non residence. both Ideas hopeless. Either of these ideas is practically hope less, ir Foster is given the complimentary Bepnhlican nomination. 4 This would pre clude the plan pf a Democratic and Bepub lican coalition, and further than that, Hal stead does not believe that Foster oouid be in duced to contest the election of his personal friend and business associate, Mr. Brice. At an informal conference of tbe Bepublican leaders of the Legislature to-dav, at which ex Spoaker Hodge, Charley Griffin, and others were present, Mr. Halstead's idea was so far successful that it was practically decided to postpone all action until after the Democrats had exposed their hand. No definite date was set, but the Republican caucus may not be held until next Monday night only a few hoars before tbo Legislature moots to ballot for a Senator. But while tbo Republicans who are anxious to defeat Brice in any way possible succeeded iu securing this delay, there is scarcoly a doubt that ex-Governor Foster will eventually re ceive the Republican nomination. HIS friends are numerouJ,and bitterly denounce the recent course of Halstead. This feeling, if nothing else, will almost surely prevent the consumma tion of such a scheme. A BOOM FOB M'KnfLET. Hon. Charles' Griffin, one of tbe leading Re publicans of tbe Northwest, and a party leader on the floor of the House, said in answer to inquiries concerning his course on the Repub lican nomination: "I have received letters from certain members of tho Letrislatnre who wm re-elected this year, asking me to vote, or Major' Mcjumey. une of theso letters particularly urged me to do so. No reason was given "why I should do so, and tbo man wbo wrote tbat letter knows full well tbat McKinley would not have been chosen Senator had everything (rone our way, and the incoming Legislature, been Be publican.

"You are looked upon as a very ardent ad mirer of Qovernor Poraker. Will ho receive the complimentary nomination f" mat i cannot answer now, I think that our votes should be cast for tbe man who, should he really be. elected to tbe Senate, instead of merely complimented, could be able to do tbe most good for the Republican party. By that, I mean the Republican party of Ohio." CLEAN SWEEP FOB FOSTER, A careful canvass of the Republican, mem bers shows that at least 45, and perhaps as many as 60 of them, out of a total of 71, believe that Foster should receive the empty compli ment Both McKinley and Forakcr have friends, however, and if either really desired to make a fight for the honor, be could cause considerable trouble. A prominent Republican wbo had a conver sation with Mr. Foster, a few days ago, tells The DISPATCH correspondent tbat the ex Governor has about given up all hope pf ever being Senator from Ohio, and thinks that bis chance ,is gone. He says, that he did all be could to bring about tbe election ot a Repub lican Legislature, this time, and having failed, he will never try it again. In fact, if he secures tho Republican nomination, and thus a partial vindication, be will probably retire perma- ueuu; iruui uuuiica.

In all probability the effort; will be made to-morrow, when the two Houses meet In joint convention to canvass the returns of the late election. Senator Gaumer, one of the Democratic leaders, said to-night. In answer to a pointed query: ."The man who has tbe election on the face of the returns will eft tbe office," but you can just mark it down that the doctored re turns of tbe Republican Secretary of State will not be taken if we can find any others, and I think we can." The statement is made that at the caucus heldlast night with closed doors, the full course of action Id tbe matter was decided on, but all of the members present were pledged to invio late secrecy.

Judge O'Brien to day gave Judgment in favor of George Bice In his fight with the Standard Oil Trust. Some months ago Mr. Rice purchased, in open mar ket, five Standard Oil Trust certificates.

The certificates re mained in the name of tbo person from whom Mr. Rice purchased them, and, notwithstand ing repeated efforts to ;bave them transferred to his name ou tho books, 'the trust refused to comply with bis demands. Tho suit came to trial six weeks ago, and the defense was that Rice had not established his title to tbe certifi cates, and that plaintiff was hostile to- defendants, havlne purchased the certif icates for the purpose of hanasslng and annoy in r tbe trust; tbat Rice bad instituted several snits to annoy defendants and that he bad offered to drop the proceedings if tho trust paid him K50,000 for his oil refinery at Mari etta, O. Jndge O'Brien, in giving judgment in favor of Mr. Rice, says he had established his right to become a transferee under the trust.agree ment.

All the wires in the city were laden with ideles to-day, which, scintillating in tha sun, formed a beautiful picture. The ice falling off occasioned numer ous stampedes of pedestrians. The deadly electric light wires were the causa of such gen eral exhibitions of alarm that even the dogs ran howling from undeV them. Now and then a wire sagging beneath a heavy weight of ice would touch another wire. The blue,sparks would fly tor a moment, and a shivering blue flamo succeed until the fusing of wires causing them to part and fall crackling to the side walk. Then the crowds would scatter, falling over each other. In their anxiety to reach a pla.-e of safety. Tbe accidents f rom electric wires have been so numerous that hardly one man in a thousand will go near a fallen wire. Two street car horses were killed and their heads nearly burned off, at Fourth and Chestnut streets, by an electric wlra this moraine. Tbo wire was stretched across the necks of the horses, and as they dropped to tbe street dead, a cloud of smoke came up from them. END OF A CHECKEKED CAEEL'R.

To-morrow the Senate World's Fair Committee will give hearings to the representatives of the different cities contending for tbe site of tbe exhibitions, and to-night these representa tives are dining and wining- each other in very hilariou-s style. New York has not appeared upon the ground yet, but the other three cities all have their headquarters at "WiMard's, and are all on the same floor. The consequence of this arrangement is that very amicable relations have been entered into by the Chicago, St Louis and Wash ington people, and no one. to look on them to-night assembled in St. Louis' headquar ters, would imagine that to-morrow the same gentlemen were to meet as forensio foes on tho battle ground of the Senate committee room. CHAHPAOXB PEEK AS WATER. Open-handed hospitality is" the order of tho hour, and champagne is flowing with great fluency. Possibly there may be some underlying motive in all this, for who knows what advantage may accrue? A headache in the morning is not conducive to tbat 'sort ot eloquence which is .liable" to affect a Senate committee. But nothing of that sort is visible on tbe surface, and the St. Louis iana are "setting them up" to all and every body. The hearing before tho Senate Committee was to have been finished by Thursday, but on the urcent solicitation or Senator Hiscock, of New York, the time has been extended to Saturday. On that day a large delegation of. New Yorkers is to be in attendance. Among them will be Chauncey M. Depew, ex-Secretary Whitney, ex-Mayor Hewitt, Cornelius Vander bllt, anu a large number of other influential citizens. Mr. He witt has himself drawn up a memorial to present to the committee in be half ofNew York's claims to the fair. By tbe way, tbe Chlcagoans who are here en deavoring to Focnre for their city tho great ex position ot 1S32, have commenced to offer in ducements to Washington to let go of the World's Fair in favor of Chicago. Tbe plan, as formulated by the visitors from the lakeside, is to have Congress appropriate SiOOQ.000 or $5, 000.000 for a great memorial ball (suitable for large gatherings of a national character, such as inaugural balls) to be erected in this city. SCOPE OP THE SCHEME. The building is to be. according to this scheme, commenced In 1892, and the laying of its cornerstone is to be made a great occasion by an Immense celebration of the quadro-cen- icmutu. iuo ijAyu.'unuu lueii is men to be held in Chicago in 1633. That's how the' affair Is fixed to-day. The House-has not vet formed' a ncH.ii nnm. - mlttee to look after the World's Fair business, and the various bills which have been intro duced on the subject have been referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, the Chairman of which is Mr. Hitt, of Illinois. To-day that committee decided to appoint a sub-committee to consider the several bills, and this action is being construed as a point in Chicago's favor, since it has been expected thata special committee would be appointed for this purpose. This sub-committee is as follows: Mr. Hitt, of Blinois, Chairman;' Mr. Rockwell, of Massachusetts; Holman, of Indiana: McCreary. of Kentucky and Chtpm'an, of Michigan, it is understood that the' members of the committee are di vided as follows in their preferences for the lo cation of the fair: Messrs. Hitt and Chlpman Chicaeo; Mr. Rdekwoll. New York; Mr. Hol man, Washington j Mr. McCreary, St, Louis. LlQHTHEB, POSTAL TELEGRAPH. POSSIBLE. Senator Cnllom Think HI BUI Has a Chance to Fas.

Speaklnir of the bill be introduced yesterday in the Senate, for the creation of a postal telegraph system, Sena tor Cnllom said to The Dispatch' corre spondent: "Although I have not attempted yet to find out the opinions of any of mycblleagnea on tho matter. I believe the bill will pass the Senate. It simply proposes that tbe Govern ment enter into a contract with the owners ot existing telegraph lines, by which tho tele graph will, become a part of the postal busi ness, and thapeopla may send tclezrams as they do letters, through the postorHces. and probably at a loss cost than Is now possible. "The bill is a step in tbe direction of Govern. ment control of the telegraph. The subject is one tbat has interested a good many Senators, and it will have many friends on tbe floor when it is brought up for. consideration. The bill has been referred to tbe Committee on Post offices and Postroads, of which Mr. Sawyer Is Chairman. He told me, although I don't know that I have any right to quote him for publication, that it was about the thing be wanted, so I have every reason to expect tbe committeo to make, a favorable report upon it."

Neither Senator Quay nor Congressmen Dalzell and Bayne have anything-new to say to-day on the subject of the Surveyorship fofr Fitts bnrg, except tbat tbe small discussion now in process is nothing mora than a threshing over of old straw. The indorsement -of TJravo by Senator Quay has been mentioned a.dozen times in these dispatches, during the last sixmonths, and there has been no new indorsement and no pressing of the case of Dravo with more vigor than at any former time. The letter written' by Colonel Bayne to the Secretary of the Treasury is another old matter rehashed. Th letter is dated Au gust 12, and Is therefore just about Ave months' old. It makes tha point against Frank Case that be has not been a consistent Republican; that be and Barr and the friends of the latter are iuleague to make Case Bart's successor, and tbat tbe Congressmen who Indorse Casa seem to bo In tbe scheme. Tbe latter is merely an Intimation which was possibly not fully intended to be construed in that way. It was written during tbe absence of Senator Quay from the city, last night, and was Intended to prevent any possibility of an appointment previous to the return of Senator Quay and Colonel Bayne to the capital. Neither of these gentlemen has anything to say regarding it, and Mr. Dalzell absolutely refused to be inter viewed on tho sublect of it. He says that if there is any excitement anywhere about it, it is a tempest in a tea pot, and not of his crea tion. As to the outcome of the contest,it Is as much in doubt as it has been at any time. A number of Colonel Quay's friends support Case, and a number of others support Major Voglcson and W. 8. Brown, respectively, while. Dravo proba bly has a smaller following than any other can didate, among the active snpportersof Quay In Allegheny county. Case has not the support of any of tboso known as unswerving anti Quay men.

I -would rcjrret ir the church should depart from any of her doctrines, and I believe that our church and those under the name of reformed ehnrcbes have done more for civilization and Christianity than any other de nomination, let I believe that tbe expressions and words which treat of our reunion should be clearer and more precise.' Judge Willson continued at considerable length, and was followed by Rev. Dr. J. A. Warden, wbo said: The meanlnir of this revision Is to abandon Cal vinism altogether or cause a division. This Is no age for making creeds. One year ago the church was tii harmony, to-dayshelsnotso.

A red-hot meeting, at which President Campbell is threatened with violence. It's the oldstoryoveragain in the Window Glass Workers' Association, L. A. 300; the cutters' candidate knocked ont by a blower. Bnt the old story has some sensational mod ifications. During its whole existence the Window Glass Workers Association has had a Pitts bnreeras President until the election, on the face of the returns, of JXr. Morenus, of New Xork, the intimation of which was given at the regular meeting of LA. 300 last Friday night. Morenns' opponent was Patrick Cleary, a cutter of Pittsburg. The by-laws of the association provide that the nominee for the Presidency must have a clear majority of the votes cast by the vari ous preceptories in the trade, in order to be elected. The voting sheets were duly sent out. The charges made at the meeting on last Friday might best-indicate what the history of the case was from the lime of the sub mission of the names to a vote. There were more than the names of Morenus andCIeary on the list. A BKISTLISG SPEECH. At the meeting, over which President Campbell presided, it was broadly hinted that Morenus bad received tbe required ma jority and was elected to tho Presidency. Then an avowed enemy of President Campbell ob tained the floor and the trouble began. Mr, Campbell was asked why If was that tha sheets sent out to preceptories all through tbo country had been received at the head quarters and tbe vote in each case counted before the "voting-sheets were sent to Pittsburg preceptories. Then a bundhxof let ters was produced, and tbe kicker read to tha L members present a series of extracts from let ter?, written on tne omciai paner ol L.A.aiU "and signed by officials, In which .Mr. Cleary was given an unseasonable roast on account of his religion. In each instance tha recipient of tbe letters was nrged to vote tor Morenus. This created a sensation. The kicker tried to pin Mr, Campbell down to an admission of the genuineness of certain of tbe signatures, it is reported, and, as an In terested person tells it. a great Uproar ensued, and in the beat of argument several members advanced toward tbe President's desk, with, tho avowed purpose of personal contact. A great many opprobrious epithets were applied to various persons, and a general fight looked tolerably sure. Wiser counsels prevailed, however. MOEE TROUBLE CAUSED. For a few moments quiet reigned, until a member arose and charged that the official count had been improperly made, and that a number of preceptories, known by their pre vious vote a in favor of Cleary, bad been frozen out of the vote. The speaker charged that Cleary had been deliberately counted our. and announced that bo would formally contest tho election of ' Morrnusr A great hubbub "arose, andVn tho tumnlt a dozen voices again made suggestions ax to tho propriety of throw ing somebody ont of the ball. In some very vigorous comments upon the in cidents of tbe evening. Mr. Campbell hinted broadly that lie would be the candidate- for President ayear hence. Thlsdldnotthrowoil upon thn troubled waters, and the meeting hastily adjourned, without any actual personal collision, although, for nearly an hour, brandished fists and sulphurous expletives had filled the air. BTJSfOBS PRO AND COXV A Southside friend of Mr. Cleary's said yes. terday that he did not believe tbat Mr. Cleary would contest Morenus' election, although a relative of tbe defeated candidate Is authority for the statement tbat a contest will ba In augurated. Very bitter reflections are cast upon those wbo conducted tbo late election. Neither Mr. Campbell nor Mr. Cake was accessible last even inr;but perhaps when they Are seen they may tell anot&er story. Opinions are freely ex pressed that the internecine warfare now rsglngm tbe association would cause a split or wreck tha organization.
