Hope ful opinions are expressed by foreign offi cials in regard to the solution of the Balkan trouble. CCOmiOHT.lSSO, BTTmcXIWTOBJC.lBSOCll.TXB FEESS.: Beelut, August 30. The progress of the negotiations for the entrance of Bussia into the European entente is indicated by the ar rangements of the autumn meetings or the sovereigns. Emperor 'William's conference with the Emperor of Austria is fixed for September 14, dnring the maneuvers in Silesia. The Czar trill arrive at Fredens borg on September 20. He will stay there until the end of the month and trill come to Berlin October!!. Emperor "William and the King of Saxony will be received by the Emperor of Austria at Vienna, and they will go on a shooting expedition to the Syrian Alps. The projected interview between Emperor "William, the Czar and Emperor Prancis Joseph, depends largely upon the Austrian Government's acceptance of tne terms on which Emperor "William will propose a re vision of the Berlin-treaty. The opinion of the foreign officials herecontinueshopeful of a definite solution or the Balkan troubles be fore the end of the year. It is probable that a congress of the powers will be held early in the spring. TBTOfG TO CALSI FBEXCH FEABS. The Czar has sent the Grand Duke Michael. President of the Bussian Council, on a special mission to Paris, to reassure the French Government The Moscow Gazette seeks to calm the fears expressed by the French press in regard to the desertion of France by Bussia by declaring that the Czar'i persistent aim is to maintain the bal ance of power, recognizing the fact that Bnssia and France 'have common interests and united responsibility. France ought, therefore, concludes the Gazette, to remain absolutely tranquil. The report that Chancellor von Caprivi obtained a promise from M. de Giers to abate the frontier tariff was baseless. The qu uion was not mooted at the conference. A Ukase issued to-day at St. Petersburg raises the customs duties generally 20 per cent. Tne fact that coffee, cocoa, tea, sugar and coal imported through the western frontier and Baltic ports are exempted from the rise gives a semblance of confirmation to the report, but practically the Ukase does not alter the restrictions of the trade with Germany. The object of the Ukase is de clared to be to mate dnties levied in gold correspond with the altered rate of exchange. It is further announced that the Ukase pre cedes a general revision of the tariff. GUAEDENO AGAINST E10TS. Prominent among the measures agreed upon by M. de Giers and Chancellor von Caprivi will be fonnd one looking to inter national repression of the Anarchists and Nihilists, the Czar desiring European con . cert on this matter. The riotons meeting of the Berlin Socialists at Priedrichsham has given the Government a pretext for ordering special military precautions against greater disorders. The guards corps forming the usual garrison here is going to the maneu vers, leaving only a small detachment in charge of the depots. An infantry brigade of the Brandenburg corps will replace the guards. The tumult at Friedrichsham arose from an abnsive attack made br Herr Wittee upon Herr BebeL An immense majority of those present at the meeting voted confi dence in the party's deputies in the Reich stag. In the row subsequent to the.meetiDg the mob assailed the police with stones. The police charged, the crowd with drawn sabres. The socialist press complains bit terly or the disgrace to the party arising from the obstructive rowdyism of the new section. - BESTOBATIOK OF JESUITS. The Catholic Congress at Coblentz is hold ing a three days' session. Six thousand persons are in attendance. The congress demands the re-establishment in Germany of all the Catholic orders, including the Jesuits and the restoration of the Pope's temporal power. It alsb asks for a Govern ment subvention for Catholic missions in German Africa. Thanks were voted to Emperor "William for his attempts to estab lish social peace. The next Congress will be held at Batisbobonn. A farewell dinner was given last night to the New York riflemen who are visiting Germany. The banquet was held in tbe Senators' room of the Bremen rathskeller. President Hanscbild, of tbe Bremen Bifle association, toasted the guests. Mr. Sieburg, in reply, dilated upon their pleasant sojourn in Germany and the comrade-like cordiality displayed by the Bremen rifles. He said he was especially grateful lor the honorary membership in the Bremen corps conferred upon him. ESTEKTADfUf Q THE AMERICANS. At 7 o'clock in the morning a band played before the Central Hotel while the New Yorkers ate their breakfast on the terrace. At 8:30 the Americans proceeded, in full uniform, carrying banners, to the railway station, where parting oration were deliv ered. A large crowd was present The New Yorkers took a special car to Bremer haveu, where a reception was given them by four- rifle associations. The band of tbe marine artillery played the American anthem. After tbe presidents of the rifle clubs had delivered farewell speeches the Americans marched to the quay, and, boarding a special tendi r, proceeded to the Pulda, which was lying in the roadstead. Captain Sisburg addressed the Weser Bifle men from the deck of the Fulda, and there were prolonged adieux as the vessel sped away. Both Emperor Francis Joseph and the Begent of Bavaria are mediating between Emperor "William and Prince Bismarck, and a reconciliation is almost effected. The ninetieth birthday of General "Von Moltke will be observed by the presentation to him of a collective address from -all the towns in Germany and by the gift of a house at Parchim, Mecklenburg, where he was born. Emperor William will go in person to offer his congratulations. MOBE PATA1 THAN CHOLESA. A Description of tbe New Influenza Which Has Appeared In France. ;BT SUITLAF'S CABLI COMPAXT., Pabis, August 30. The influenza which has appeared in Paris is found to be of a primary and very severe type, and more fatal than cholera. The present visitation has developed a swollen tongue, covered with festering blisters. Eating drinking and speaking are intensely painful and dif- 6tnlf . . - t . J; of the spine is extremely hieb. The disease has also appeared in several places in En gland, combined with cholerao symptoms. THEY WANT OUR PORK. FRENCH NEWSPAPERS POINT OUT A MIS TAKE OF THE GOVERNMENT. First Prize Won br tho American Hon;nt the ExpesMon-RemoTlBg the Pretext for Edmunds Meat Inspection Bill-Too Late Now. Pabis, August 30. The Journal Des Debate, in publishing the letter of Mr. "Whitelaw Beid, United States Minister, to M. Eibot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, con cerning the prohibition of American pork, says: "French prohibition of American pork seems unreasonable in view of its having last year received the highest prize at the Exposition. Under these circumstances we think, in fact, we know, that the French govern ment will be disposed to remove the pretext for the meat inspection bill introduced by Senator Edmunds, especially as the sanitary examination which the Americans propose offers every guarantee to French consumers. It is improbable, however, that the French government will withdraw the prohibition before the reassembling of the Chambers." The Temps says that Mr.Beid's letter may be considered as in some sort an expose of the motives that led to the recent motions that led to retaliation. Le Paris says: "If the measures of retaliation should be rigor ously enforced it would cut off the sale of 400,000,000 francs' worth of .French prod ucts annually. For such an interest it is well worth while to sacrifice something. The pnblio health will not be"uamaged by ad mitting a few tons of American pork." The Figaro thinks France was wrong both in theory and in practice in prohibit ing the importation of American pork, but it holds that it is now impossible to move backward, and especially is it impossible to take the attitude of yielding before the economic threats of the Americans. "What Is needed," says the ligaro, "is simply the courage to wait and see what results are going to befall France. "We cannot pre vent any person from closing his doors to onr products, but we can, in return, not open onr doors too widelv to him." The Maniteur Universel points to the recent address of M. Bibot as proving that the Government is convinced that it must abandon the idea of prohibiting it. This conclusion, it says, was reached after the Government had heard from M. Bonstan, the French Minister at Washington, that if France persisted in prohlmting tbe importa tion of American pork, it would have to submit to a heavy advance in the duties on its products, particularly silk, wines and works of art La Lanterns asks what the French wine growers now think of the situation to which their legislation has Jed. it believes tbey will probably soon be convinced that there is little advantage in protecting French swine, and, in the interest of beet growers and distillers, putting prohibitive duties on American corn, if the result is to lose their own market. A CAMPAIGN IK AMERICA. Some Chances to be Made In the Irish Ora-nnlzatlon In This Country fBT DtnfLAT'fl CABLE COMTAXT.l Dublin, August 30. The plans of the Irish-American convention to be held in America are now completed. Messrs. Dil lon and O'Brien will be accompanied by two other Irish members and the whole party will be under strict instructions from headquarters. The method of warfare adopted by the special commission, and tbe evidence given concerning the movements of the Irish delegates and their associates in America, have rendered this step necessary. This organization, which formerly wel comed Irish members with open arms, will now be ignored, and the delegates must be content to be the guests of the various branches of the national league. Import ant changes are to be made in the method of transmitting subscriptions to the central association. It has been customary to send the different sums to one center in America and thence to Dublin. In future the cen tral office will be abolished and each branch will forward its subscriptions direct to Dublin. DYNAMITE AS AN ABGUMENT.

Action has been taken recently by Consular representa tives of America, Great Britain and Ger many to quell the disquietude growing out of the apparent efforts of the former King, Mataafa, to regain his lost power. The Consuls issued a proclamation warning the discontented natives against forming any intrigues to place Mataafa in power, and declaring that Malietoa had been recognized as the King of Samoa by the three Powers, and that any Samoan villages that should rebel against him trould be severely pun-' ished. This proclamation, signed by the three Consuls, was printed in the Samoan language and distributed throughout the islands. United States Consul General Sewall went at once to the Island of Savoy on the Man-of-War Mohican and called a meeting of the chiefs of the surrounding districts. The chiefs assured Mr. Sewall that they ac knowledged Malietoa as the King, and that they had no intention of doing anything that would cause trouble on the islands. Mr. Sewall expressed himself as satisfied, but warned the chiefs that any encourage ment to the disaffected persons would be severely punished. Dc Steubet, the Ger man Consul General, also visited the Savoy Island and gave the chiefs a similar warn ing. These visits are believed to have re sulted in much good, though a number of the natives are reported to be still in a state of unrest WOMAN SUFFBAGE IMPERILED. Strong Opposition Against It Among the Voter of Mississippi Jackson, Miss., August 30. The Elec tive Franchise Committee was in session to day considering an appropriation to form a college of electors composed of representa tives from each legislative district which shall have power to elect State officers. The committee made no progress in the matter, but there is not tbe slightest chance that such a scheme will be adopted. Since the report of the attitude of the Franchise Committee with respect to woman suffrage has been made public, tbe woman suffrage idea has become tne prevailing sub ject of comment among delegates and citi zens. "While nothing definite is known as to the strength of the woman suffrage on the plan of the convention, a strong under cur rent of sentiment is developing against the movement which may imperil its success.

Fears That Were Entertained Before Dis pelled Last Night. THE PRESIDENT HAS NOT AREITED IET. llorcnenu of the Dlstin?nlssed Visitors sad Others at the Mountain SesorU Mrs. Harrison and family spent a quiet day at Cresson Springs. Some fears were entertained that society would not welcome the PresujenUl party, but these fears were set at rest.' The President has not yet ar rived at the mountain resort. iraoM a etjutp conraspoxDXCT.l Cbesson Springs, August 30. The at mosphere of nature is chillier here to-night than it was last night, but the social atmos phere has warmed somewhat The fears ex pressed in various quarters that the exclu sive Pittsburgcr would resent the coming of the President and his family into their pleasant and'restful resort were apparently groundless. The ladies of the party will be welcomed into the social swim at Cresson and the prospects for a pleasant sojourn are correspondingly better. It must be admitted that the situation had a dreary look all day but the events of the evening have brought a change. This evening Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Mc Kee, Mrs. Bussell B. Harrison, Mrs. Hal ford and Miss Halford betook themselves after supper to the parlor in the company of Mr. McKee, to enjoy the music and watch the dancing of the little ones. In some mysterious way Mr. McKee became entangled in conversation with Mr. Harry Darlington, and soon thereafter Mr. Darlington was moving across the floor with Mr. McKee. He was duly introduced to the ladies of the Harrison party, and, after conversing with them for some time, he recrossed the parlor and returned leading Mrs. Darlington. As they all sat together chatting pleasantly the old residenter out on the porch beamed on the picture through the window and remarked in a self-satisfied tone: "Now it's all right. That is as it should be and it should have been that way all day." He no longer feared the Jlarrisoo psrty was to be exclnded from the best social circles at Cresson. there tvab some doubt. Grave fears were entertained and ex pressed on this score dnring the day. The impression had gotten abroad that the Pitts burg cottagers did not like the invasion of their precincts by tbe President and his family. Not that tbey had objections to the nation's Chief Magistrate or the first lady in the land, but because their presence was likely to attract a rush of two-day celebrity hunters. Even worse than that crowds of one-day people may swoop down, or rather up on Cresson after the President arrives and disturb the pleasant monotony of life in and about the big hotel with noisy curiosity, blocking up tbe passageways and interfer ing with porch promenades. Even the grand parlor is not safe from the invasion of the unassorted throng, and the pleasant music and pretty dancing of the little ones may give way to hand-shaking re ceptions to the. discomfort alike of the Presidental family and the "exclusive Pittsburgers." But the danger of the Presi dent and his family being excluded from tbe best society of the place on this score has been averted, ana the wealthy Pittsburgers will take the inconveniences of democratic customs and crowds with as good grace as they can. INCIDENTS OF THE SAT. The morning was qnite cool, the ther- rmometer registering 55 at 6 o'clock. But by. tbe time life was fully apparent about the Mountain ,House, a bright, genial sun gave promise of a pleasant day. It was an ideal day for pedestrian exercise, and everybody inclined that way in the least took advantage of the bracing air and dry roads to do a little walking. U"or any other purpose, except the game of baseball and possibly lawn tennis, it was a little too cool. Driving was indulged in, however, by a good many, and many others spent the greater part of the day indoors reading and lonnging. Mrs. Harrison and her narty came into the hotel to breakfast at 9:30, and they did not leave the private dining room until alter 10 o'clock. They then retired to the Park cottago and little more was seen of them until they came over to the hotel again for dinner. Possibly they heard or felt the misgivings about their reception. At 1:30 they entered the private dining-room again and discussed a very ex cellent menu until 2:20. When they cam t outthis time they passed through the spacious hall, lingered a little on the steps and then walked down the boardwalk to the railroad depot Someone whispered that THE PRESIDENT WAS COMING and they had gone to meet him, and quite a number followed the party to the station. But the President did not come and was not likely to come on that train, the way passenger. Instead Mrs. Harrison's father, Dr. J. W. Scott, went away. It wai vaguely understood that he intended stopping at Johnstown, and after looking over the resurrected city to go on to Pittsburg. After this a short excursion was taken along the mountain top. The party re turned early, and spent tbe remainder of the time before supper closely housed in the cottage. Baby McKee the most popular member of the party en joyed bis outinc hugely, and when he came in returned to his house and play with great zest. His three little rooms comprise a kitchen, parlor and" bed room. In the kitchen is a "real" stove, water spigots and other utensils, and be attends to culinary operations with these with a great deal of earnestness. He is "keeping house" as demurely as any grown person at times, but the water spigots lead him into temptation and be "slops around," gets his sleeves wet and bedraggles bis clothes just like any other 3-year-old urchin. GOSSIP OP THE DAT. A carriage and horses have been put at the disposal of the first lady of the land. Mr. George W. Boyd, Assistant General Passenger Agent ot tbe Pennsylvania Rail road, who came here in charge of the Har rison party, is still, with his beautiful wife, staying as guests. The great ambition of tbe young ladies about the hotel is to "have a talk with Baby McKee." Of course, he is voted pretty and cute, a darling and a dear by nearly every one. A critical estimate was made by one voune beauty, however, to the effect that "he is bright and lively.but not very pretty, I don't think." The ungrammatical sen tence may be excused in view of tbe excite ment of an interview with the hero of the hour. The plainness of Mrs. Harrison's attire is commented on by everybody. Her dress is Iilain to the point of severity. "" The other adles in the party also dress very plainly. A game of baseball between the Ebens burg Club and a nine composed of young men staying at the hotel drew a good crowd this afternoon. The playing was fair ama teur work. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. W. Painter came in by the late train last night Archbishop Kenrick, of St. Iiouis, was among last night's arrivals. General James A. Eakin, who was a Colonel in General Harrison's division dur ing the war, is spending the summer here. He has been specially attentive to tbe dis guished visitors, and took pains to intro duce them to a number of prominent Pitts burgers this morning. No definite-information U yet obtainable SUNDAY, AUGrTJST 31, regarding the President's coming. He may be here within a day or two or he may be delayed for some time. Members of the family do not seem fo expect him for sev eral days yet ." Mr. and Mrs. James A."Nicklo's, Misses Sadie and Ella Callahan and Mrs. O'Dough erty and daughters, of Allegheny, and Miss Estella McClusky'are the guests of Miss McConnell at her cottage. The arrivals from Pittsburg to-day, were: A. H. Childs, John A. Phillips, Weld. A. Schoyer, Samuel P. Kelley, Henry Oliver, George A. Kelly, J. O. Home, Thomas "W. Nevin, William G. Price, Kev. W. N.

The only news to-day in the alleged New York Central strike, which Mr. Powderly says is still go ing on, was in the shape of bulletins from the river which that gentleman received, containing startling information about the condition of the road up there. The bulle tins were dated from the headquarters of D. A. 246, at Albany. According to them this was the state of affairs at Albany: "Engine off track at East Albany delayed traffic lor six hours; another engine with two cars, through mismanagement of green hands, blocked road for two hours; one. scab killed at Albany, owing to blunder of green hsnds; two freight trains left Albany, in stead of 12j the usual number; six cot in, instead of 14, the usual number: 82 men in outside and 92 men in inside shops, instead of 1,100 in each, as formerly; 69 men in car department, instead of 560; 95 men in locomotive department, in stead of 530; 20 men in yard service in the place of 120 men.

A Pastor WJio ileceived a Eeformed Woman Into the Fold and THEN DABBLED IHT0 POLITICS Has Eesn BequeBted to Besljra By a Majority ' of the Members. HE HEADS THE .PEOHIBITION TICKET, JTcmlaattd It the Btcent Conitntlon of the Cold 1 Water People. Bev. M. C. Lock wood, of Cincinnati, is the chief candidate on the Prohibition tick et in Ohio. His course upon this and other matters has caused dissension in the church and he has been requested to resign. rsneus. tiliqexk to tot sispatcs.1 Cincinnati, August SO. Two years ago one of the best known of a certain class, was Mrs. Emma Goettle, a brunette of petite figure and very pretty features. She had married a local politician considerably older than herself. Before his death a few years ago there had been well-grounded suspicion that she was unfaithful to him, her name be ing connected with that of a comedian of more than national repufation. Her friends in Cincinnati were numbered by the score, and included prominent busi nessmen. She was a vivacious conversa tionalist, and her beauty was a smare that proved very effective. Before marriage she had been in the millinery business. "When her husband died it was found that he had left the widow and her pretty little daugh ter unprovided for. A CHABOE Or BLACKMAIL. Soon it was said the widow had added blackmail to her other arts. One night a wealthy jurist of national fame, now dead, fell into her trap at a roadside resort, and he escaped scandal only by paying heavy trib ute to the woman and her companions. Fortune had deserted her, however, and early one morning a year ago a party of constables took away all her furniture. About that time the Bev. M. C. Lock wood, of the First Baptist Church, was holding a revival, and the woman became a constant attendant at tbe services. One evening very dramatically she professed re ligion. Tbe pastor had taken great interest in her confession, and welcomed her to the church. Many of the members objected, but the preacher championed the woman's cause. She was admitted to the told. This divided the congregation into two factions. Mrs. Goettle became a regular attendant at prayer meeting and other gatherings. One faction encouraged her, while tbe other was bitter in opposition. Meanwhile Mrs. Goettle ha'd secured suf ficient backing from her religious friends to start a big millinery establishment. To her credit, be it said, her conduct since reformation has been most exemplary. WENT INTO POLITICS. Becently the Bev. Iiockwood, who has figured prominently in politics as well as religion, accepted the nomination for Secre tary of State tendered by the Ohio Prohibi tionists. This was seized upon by his op ponents to stir up dissatisfaction, and it also carried dissension among his supporters. Thpre is another Baptist minister in the city, Bev. Johnson Meyers, who is a rival of Lockwood. The anti-Lockwood faction have been urging that Meyers be called to the charge. The present factional fight took definite shaje August 14. On that day an irregu lar meeting of the Advisory Board of the church was called by eight members of the board, who sent out notices signed by themselves. They did not notify the pastor, who is Moderator of the Board, nor did tbey notify the Secre tary until tbe same day tbat-the meeting was to be held. Only part of the deacons were present. The following motion was made and carried by a vote of 8 to 4: "We, the deacons of tbe First Baptist Church, believe tnat tno nseininess oi our pastor. Brother Lockwood, hasabout ended in this church, and that onr finances will not permit us longer to keep a pastor at the salary Brother Lockwood receives, therefore we think It is to the best interests of the church that ba present tbe church with his resijnation, to take effect at the expiration of three, months. SUSTAINED TBE BOABD. The Advisory Board then mailed a notice of its action to Dr. Lockwood, who was on his summer vacation in Connecticut. To tbe church proper it said nothing. Dr. Lockwood returned from his vacation on Thursday evening. At the close of the prayer meeting last night the castor read the notice he bad received from the advisory board, and asked the members present if it was their desire that he resign. A vote was taken which resulted in four voting against the advisory board and 17 sustaining it in its action. The prayer meeting then resolved itself into a business meeting of the board and the following motion was adopted: That a Committee of Discipline to be named by tbe chair be appointed, to consist of three members, to Inquire Into tbe faction tbat bas been created in church, said committee to re port next Friday evening. Dr. Lockwood came here five vears ago from Whitehall, N. T. Through his ag gressive work the beautiful new church on Westley avenne was built, and the con gregation grew, tobe one of the largest and most influential in the city, The doctor has taken a prominent part in politics. He was one of the leaders of the labor party and was recently nominated for Secretary' of State by the Prohibition party. He has a host of friends. He is only 37 years old.

Children Play With Electricity WIti Alarmin? Abandon. BTS0N6 TALE OF SUITS FOE DAMAGES. Bsreral Instances Where Horses Hare Beta Seiertly Shccied. The horse of John Strump was yesterday shocked and thrown to the ground while crossing the track of the Thirteenth street electric road, on the Southside: The animal afterward ran away and cansed considerable damage. Citizens are afraid the over charged tracks may kill some one. A big howl is going up on the Southside against the condition of the .tract of the Thirteenth street electric road. It Is said" that the rails are so heavily charged with electricity that the track is dangerous, and that someone may be killed. There have been frequent instances of the electricity in the rails doing mischief, and complaints have often been made. Yesterday the excitement was brought to a climax by a horse being thrown to the ground by a shock and causing a serious runaway. One man was badly Injured and the buggy smashed to splinters. The result promises to be a suit against the company for damages. John Strump, a resident of the Southside, is the last one to have a practical demon stration of the amount of electricity in the rails. About neon yesterday he attempted to drive his horse across the track at the junction of Birmingham ave nne and Pius street. The road is very steep at this point, and the position of the track makes it a bad place to drive over. As the horse was crossing the track h struck one of its hoofs against a rail and fell down, with a convulsive shiver. It had received a powerful shock. SHOCKED A SECOND TIME. The horse, after some struggling, regained its feet, but, in doing so, it again struck its foot against the rail, and the shock threw it once more to the ground. By this time the animal had become so frightened that when it again rose to its feet and received a slight shock, it gave a lurch which tipped the buegy over, throwing Mr. Strump out. The horse .did not stop running until caught at South Eleventh street. Tbe bag gy was a wreck, and it is feared the horfe is injured. Later Mr. Strump visited Alder man Beinhauer's office, and consulted with the alderman in relation to bringing action against the company for damages. Alderman Beinhauer says that he had an experience last Sunday with tbe track at the same point, which came near resulting more disastrously than Mr. Strump's runaway. He was attending a funeral at the time. As the horses at tached to the hearse crossed the track;, one ot them stepped on a rail and received a very severe shock. The horses are natural ly very docile.but the accident excited them so that they came near running away. They aiterward relnsed to cross the track, and it was only by good management tbat a terri ble accident was averted. A NtrilBEB OP INSTANCES. j,' Dr. Potter's horse has been shocked and thrown to the ground several times, while crossing tbe tracks of the Thirteenth street electric road. Numerous other instances have also come to light where horses have been shocked. Some horses -who have had experience with the subtle fluid refuse to cross the track, or, in doing so, give a leap. But the danger from the charged rails is not confined to horses. About 500 school children cross the tracks daily, going to and coming from school. Some of them discov ered that the track was charged, and com menced to experiment with it. They fonnd " that by touching a small wire to the track tbey could receive a shock, and some of them did not care to repeat the experiment. It is feared that some of the school children may receive a shock that will more than amuse them. Some of the residents are very much concerned for the safety of their children, and will join any move to have the rails made more safe. THE FATAL WISE.
