A PRECIS LETTER
That Emperor William Is Hold
ing Over the Head of
Prince Bismarck
LIKE A DAMOCLES SWORD.
It Is a Fierce Criticism of Bismarck's
Financial Doings.
THE KAISER'S LORDLY SPEECHES
Are Kot at All Pleasing to Many of the
German States, lhat

rT DUKLiT't C1BLZ COXTJLXT.l
Beblin, May 10. The report which the
Freisinnige party circulated that the
Emperor had personally written to Prince
Itismarck, accusing him of closing his eyes
to the Guelph lund speculations, is said to
be untrue. But the Emperor did express
himself in Tery seTere terms on the subject
at a dinner party given at the royal castle
and also on a similar occasion at the house
of Minister Boetticher. That gentleman, by
the way, was also -the recipient of an auto
graph letter from the Saner, in which the
distinguished correspondent handled Bis
marck's financial administration without
gloves. It is understood that Herr Ton
Boetticher has permission to lose this
precious letter one of these fine days in the
presence of somebody who will be unscrup
ulous enough to make use of it.
This would seem to indicate that the
Kaiser is not above taking his cue froin -Bismarck.
The latter has threatened to pub
lish the Emperor's correspondence during
the illness of Frederick IL The letter to
Hcrr Boetticher is a kind of Damocles'
sword suspended orcr the head of the ex
Chancellor. It is a case of mine and coun
termine. Not Pleased With William.
Baxony, Wurtemnerg, Bavaria, Baden,
Hesse and the other fractions of the German
Federation are professing pain and aston
ishment at the Emperor's Duiseldorf speech,
culminating, ns It did, In the assertion, so
characteristic of the speaker: "Thsro Is only
one lord of the realm, and he stands bclore
ynu. I tolerate no other will." The kins
lets are reminded that on another occasion
William II. "aid: "The Brnndenburgere
must follow thalr margrave through thick
and thin." The Knlsr'e haughty "ale
Tolo sic jubeo" has alio been revived In the
memory of tils vatssli, and his threat, "I
will crush whomsoever dares to oppose,"
'Jl rings in their ears.
.'oshow thut the Emperor has orerstepped
.its province, they cite the elercnth pars
mnli of the German Constitution, which
deals with the rights and privileges of the
Kaiser. Doubtless, il the letter of that
document Is to be consulted, they are right,
but they forget that it was framed some SO
years ago, and that its author was Bis
tnurck. A Beer-Drinking Bout.
When In Bonn recently, the Kaiser
donned his Borussea student's unilorm of
white leather breeches, 'Wellington boots,
black velvet jacket and little ronnd cap,
and unexpectedly made his appearance at
the "commers" of his "corps brethren," as
they are called. He participated in the
beer-drinking, as of old, and smoked the
huge pipe, in conformity with time-honored
custom, though he doubtless knew and
dreaded the after effects. He also made two
humorous speeches, which, in keeping with
the occasion, contained no political allu
sions. The Cologne festivities have not been en
tirely free from unpleasantness. It appears
that the managers of the Curzenieh banquet
contracted with a firm of French champagne
growers for the supply of that particular
wine which the firm agreed not to charge
for, on condition that no other brand of
champage was to be drunk on that festive
occasion. The Kaiser heard of the arrange
ment, which was in entire disregard of his
own incredible passion for the villainous
German fizz, and at the last moment ordered
that only Bhine wine should appear at the
banquet. The French firm has threatened
to sue the committee far breach of contract,
and the progress of the'ketion is being eager
ly watched.
A DEADLY WEAPON.
The New. Rifle Adopted for the German
Army Is a Terrible One.
fBT DUXUP'S CABLE COUTXlTT.i
Beelin, Mav 10. A party of infantry
reserves at the Friedrichstrasse railway sta
tion yesterday was waiting for a train to take
them back to their home. One of their
number, an elderly man, was indignant
with the newspapers lor talking so glibly
about the "coming war" and the aggressive
policy which it was Germany's duty to
adopt. "I have fought at Koenigsgratz and
Sedan," he said, "but that was mere child's
play to what the next war will be. That
new rifle which we have just been testing is
almost too horrible a weapon to use against
any enemy."
The old man was questioned about the
new rifle, and it was learned that the ballet,
which is scarcely an inch long and about as
thick as a rood-sized cigarette, will pierce
earthworks of TO centimeters thickness at a
distance of ISO meters. At 170 meters dis
tance it made a passage through five full
knapsacks placed In echelon. Fired from
a distance of 2,050 meters, the bullet will
penetrate a human body.
FAILED TO WORK.
Hungarians Fruitlessly Wound Themselves
to. Escape Military Duty.
rBT DOLAT'S CABLE COUFAXT.l
Berlin, May 10. Among the young
men who reported themselves for military
duty at Ells, in Hungary, last Tuesday,
seven exhibited freshly inflicted wonnds on
their right hands, on the supposition that
the injuries incapacitated them for military
service. Id this they were mistaken. The
authorities are by no means unfamiliar with
tnese attempts to evade the obligation of
military service.
The penalty for this form of malingering
is the addition of one year of service to the
regnlaiion term of three years.

TBT DUXLJir'S CABLE COMFAST.l
Berlin, May 10. The Socialists in the
Reichstag have been congratulating the
Government on the attitude assumed by it'
in regard to the World's Fair. Herr Bebel
said he only wished the money which had

The Money In, the Treasury 6Jd to Be Ex

Income Reassuring Financial Advices
From St Petersburg.
Paeis, May 10. The Chilean Congress
ional leaders here deny that the failure of
the peace negotiations waa due to the de
mands of the Congressional party. Their
advices state ..that President Balmaceda,
alter offering to treat, changed his mind
upon hearing of the sinking of the warship
Blanco Eacalads, -and made the publicity
given to the proposals of the Congressional
party an excuse for rapturing the negotia
tions. The leaders of the anti-Government
party say their losses on the sea will not
affect their final victory. The Congressional
party, according to the same authority,
possess an organized army, which is abont
to march upon Santiago. Even if.the troops
be confined to threatening inaction, Balma
ceda must surrender within three months
because of the collapse of his resources.
The J15.000.000 reserve which he held
prior to the insurrection is exhausted and he
has no sources ot revenue, jniiv steamers
at Valparaiso laden with coal,, which were
detained by order of Balmaceda, have now
been released under pressure from foreign
powers and are about to trade at ports held
by the Congressional party. Th'ese vessels
will load with nitrates, the duty on which
will bring the insurgents a large sum. Al
though Godoy has tailed to raise for Bal
maceda a loan in Europe, (he agent of the
Congressional party has been promised
assistance here.
Beassnrinc advices have reached bankers
here from St. Petersburg regarding the in
tention qf M. Visbnegradsky, the Bussisn
Minister of Finance, to withdraw the bal
ance held here and in London. Fearing
that a struggle with tbe great financiers of
London and Paris would imperil his own
position, as well as the finances of Russia,
be has decided to permit to remain the
300,000,000 roubles in gold deposited in for
eign banks. Paris houses hold half of this
amount. The Minister's decision ought to
relieve the financial tension.
The report made to the Senate by the
Committee on the Newfoundland Arbitra
tion Convention, after referring to treaties
upon which France bases her claims, con

Beblin, May 10. Prince Karl Lichten
stein, who one might think was old enough
to know better, has just 'been arrested in
Vienna on a charge, of obtaining money
under false pretenses. The complainant is
an old man, who has been in 'the service of
tbe Prince for more than 30 years, and the
money represented his savings during that
period.
The Prince is 64 and is quite an old
offender in this kind of wrong-doing. He
has intimated his. readiness to emigrate tol
America if allowed to escape the clutches ol
the law.
CLOSED NINE TEARS.
Oyster Beds to Be Opened for the First

TBT BURLAP'S CABLE COMFAXT.
BEELiir, May 10. The oyster beds of tbe
Watansee on the Schleswig coast between
the islands ot Syltfolu and Amrum, after
having been closed for nine years, are to be

frozen over fully three months last winter.
Tbe beds were at their best in 1870, when
6,000 tons were taken. In 1882 the yield
fell to 500 tons, which led to the temporary
closing of tbe beds.

great offense to the orthodox community by
ordering the court chaplains to curtail the
length of their sermons, which in future
must not exceed 15 minntes. whatever may
be the occasion.

"this is not to occur again."
RUSSIA MAT BACK DOWN
From the Decree Expelling; the 'Hebrew
From Her Territory.
Moscow, May 10. The decree suspend
ing the expulsion of tbe Hebrews allows a
year's grace to those who do not own real
property and two years' grace to those who
do own real property.
As tbe suspension of the expulsion is not
likely to have any perceptible effect upon
the business inconveniences attending the
expulsions, it is believed that the suspen
sion is merely a forerunner of the rescinding
of the expulsion decree.

CONVENTION WITH SPAIN.
.Some of the Provisions of the Agreement
Negotiated by Mr. Foster.
Madrid, May 10. General John 7.
Foster, the American reciprocity envoy,
having failed in hii negotiations for a gen
eral treaty between Spain and the TJnited
States, suggested a secret treaty, which also
latieu to meet tbe approval ot the bpan
istr Ministry. He therefore agreed to
conclude a simple convention mthe basis
U'lioneii proposed for a treaty. This con
vention necessarily comprises a double
tariff the first commencing on July 1, and
enduring till the Spanish treaties with other
powers are annulled in July, 1892, when the
second comes into operation. The conven
tion provides for the free entry into the
TJnited States of sugar, hooey, -cocoa, coffee
and skins from the Spanish West Indies;
tobacco atru iron ore paying the duty ex
acted by the pew United States tariff. In ex
change Spain's colonies in the West Indies
are to receive American coal, ice, wood,
boots, shoes, fresh and salt meats and fish,
either free or under small duty, while butter
and drippings are entirely exempt, and tbe
duty on flour is reduced from $3 50 to Jl per
barrel with the same rednction on corn.
The tariff on drygoods and husbandry
machinery will afford the -United States no
material advantage till 1892, because any
privileges accorded will be reaped by Great
Britain, France. Germany and Belgium
under "favored nation" treaties, thus in
juring America's future interests. Compe
tent authorities calculate that Cuba will
suffer a redaction "in customs receipts of
$500,000 monthly under the convention. .
PARNELL'S SPEECH
Listened to by a Largo Audience Despite
the Efforts or the Priests.
rBT DUXLAF'S CABLE COHFA3TT.1
Dublin, May 10. Mr. Parnell addressed
a large meeting to-day at Mullingar, West
meatb. At the masses in the various
churches in the district the priests warned
tbe people not to listen to the words of Par
nell, and even went so far as to - beg
them to stay in their houses, so as to
keep Out of hearing of the procedings. In
some cases the warnings bad the desired
eflect, but for all that Parnell hod u large
audience. -He dealt with the land bill of
Balfour, which, he declsred, deserved tbe
most favorable consideration, of the people,
as it was one of tbe most important which
had ever been produeed.into Parliament for
the benefit of tbe Irish tenants, and aimed
at a final settlement of the land difficulty.
The bill, he said, was modeled on pro
posals he had made a year, ago, which were
not adopted by Mr. Balfour. Mr. Sexton
was in favor of the bill, but Mr. ilealy and
some of his friends were opposed to it. This
was an error on tbe part ot the latter, for
the bill was really meant (o greatly benefit
almost -all tenants; and Mr. Gladstone had
declared that he would not sanotlon the set
tlement of the land question by the expendi
ture of tho money of the English taxpayer!.

German coal has been offered to tbe manu
facturers, but at such a price and of such

nrSOIAL TXUOBAXTO THE DISPATCK.1
Scotxdalb, May 10. To-day has been
another quiet Sunday in the coke region.
With tbe exception of two or three local
meetings the region is resting! n a peapeful
mood. About the only hustling that is
being done is by the bosses. A number are
repotted as out among the strikers trying to
indnoe drivers to return to work. This
kind of labor they are sorely in need of.
Anyone known to be experienced with
horses can command most any price he
may demand. At tbe Leisearingi yester
day numbers of miners were refused em
ployment on acoount of not having haul
ers to take the coal from the mines.
Adjutant General McClelland left the re
gion Saturday evening after inspecting the
Mbrewood and Central mines. It is reported
he intended visiting several other mines
Monday, but was given notice by the coke com
panies that his and tbe labor agitators' pres
ence at the works as a "smelling committee"
was not wanted and would not be tolerated.
Tbe courtesy extended so far as permitting btm
to investigate tbe charges of cruel treatment at
Morewood and Central was considered suffi
cient to convince him that the. charges were
false and made only to work upon tbe credu
lity of the Governor.
The general managers and works superin
tendents feel quite encouraged to-day. They
say unless agitators get aronnd a number of
the men and do mischief there will be a great
mob of strikers for work tomorrow morning.
They claim numerous delegations visited tbe
offices Saturday evening and made application
for work. In every case they were employed
excopt at places where work Is crippled for tbe
want of haulers. While tbese places are, of
course, few, It is a great drawback to the oper
ators In their effort to break the strike. In
citing evidence that the strike Is going to
pieces, and that it will be over soon, an operator
said:
"When you seo men, dnrlnga strike, moving
from one works to another, vou can safelv ar
tbe strike don't last and' that there Is a general
disposition to give up tbe battle. Last week
there were no loss tban 30 families moved from
one works to anotber and went to work. Tbe
object Is possibly to lose tbelr identity and
probably avoid the agitators in calling them
blacklegs. But whsn they resort to this, you
can always tell tbey bave enough and want to
go to work. That is tbo situation now, and tbe
return to work would be ranaral did not Van
leaders oontlnue to keep up a feeling of fear," I

Trample the Mound.
Chicago, May 10. Loving hands be
strewed tbe grave of Dr. P. H. Cronin, the
Irish patriot, Sunday, May 3, the day before
the seeond anniversary of his cruel murder.
Some time between Sunday and Wednesday
vandals visited tbe grave, and every vestige
of the 'floral tributes was removed. Not con
tent with this, tbe wretches tore up tbe rose
bushes and pot-plants that had been plant
ed, and trampled down the mound. Super
intendent Kensln, of Calvary Cemetery,
notified tbe police, and also Frank and
William J. Scaulao, friends' of the doctor
during his lifetime.
The police said in the absence ' of any
clew they were powerless. W. J. Scanlan
was positive the outrage was the work of the
men who were instrumental in causing the
brntal and cowardly murder of the doctor.
"Everything points their way," he said.
"The whole history of the dead, of 'Chicago
does not show where a grave has been
robbed for the simple value of the flowers.
The worst thief in existence wouldn't be so
low as to steal a flower from a grave, but
the erime was committed because the hatred
of the name of Dr. Cronin has not yet died
out. We will' decorate Dr. Cronln'e grave

THE rOSTUKX-BAT TB0UBLBB.
I " i
Bait Smugglers Captured and Takea to St
i . Johns for Trial.
Halifax, N. B., May 10. The latest
advices about affairs at Fortune Bay, K. F.,
are to the eflect that more than 80 schooners
had escaped with 'bait' 'to Bt. Pierre.
The cre,wi of tbe schooners disposed
of their bait all right, but the
trouble was how they could get home
again and escape the law. After much de
liberation in 8U Pierre, 35 of them deter
mined to risk it. and accordingly put out
for home. They were acoompsnied by 20
more schooners woicn were not in nait
traffio, but whose crews sympathized with
them.
The Tiona, Lady Glover and Favorite
helplessly followed, the men on board the
schooners threatening to fire it they were,
interfered with. The fleet got into
St. Jacques at 7 o'clock in the
evening and the smugglers soon ascer
tained the. strength of the bait protection
squadron as represented by the crews of the
Tiona and the Lady Glover. -They landed
with the fixed determination of defying
arrest.
The men gathered together in an irregular
squad, expecting the officers of the Tiona
aud Lady Glover to make the first move,
but tbe latter, having- instructions
of reinforcements by the steamer,
Conscript remained passive. The mencooid
not realize what move was contemplated,
and would probably have proceeded to riot
ing as a relief to the state of affairs, when
the' Conscript arrived on the scene.
Tbey saw that they had over
whelming numbers to contend with
and after some parley they gave in. Thirty
fire men were at first arrested, but that
number was afterward reduced to eight,
who are considered to be the ringleaders of
the law breakers. These eight men were
taken to St. Johns. . ,

CLAIMED BT TWO STATES.
Troubles Which the Tagaries or the Shift
ing Missouri Have Caused.
Council Bltjtfs, May 10. Much
trouble is expected to grow out of disputed
claims to land on Cut'Off Islandwhich lies
between this city and Omaha. Formerly
this land was on the Iowa side of the Mis
souri river. A change in tbe river put the
land on the Nebraska side. Among the heavi
est claimants is Byron Reed, of Omaha. The
TJnited States Supreme Court has a suit be
fore it to settle tbe dispute as to which State
the land belongs. Lately quite a number of
people have moved upon the disputed terri
tory, and most of these have come front the
Iowa side, as the land has been incorporated
by this, city and has also been afforded nolice
prbtection. Yesterday Beed had a number
of writs issued to evict the settlers from the
land and four families were thrown out of
their homes.
Tbey have also been refused permission to
remove tbe dwellings they have erected or
to tear them down. It is expected that a
dozen or more evictions will follow. Those
thrown out of their homes last night camped
on the public roadway, as they were not
allowed to occupy other territory. They
built bonfires by which to keep warm.

A Little Device that Does Away With Con

Philadelphia Record. 1
A Cleveland man-has patented a device
for giving a baseball tbe curve when it
leaves the pitcher's hand. The device con
sists of an elastic strap with: a loop in. one
end to receive the thumb, and at the other
end is a segment of a sphere corresponding
to tbe shape of the ball.
It is claimed that as the ball leaves this
arrangement any enrve desired can be given

SHORT TIME LEFT FOR- THEM.
Ballot and Tax Reform, Free Beaool Booki
and Other Promises.
AN EARNEST EFF0BT MUST BE MABE
irnov a MTirr coanisroxDxxT.i
Harbisbubo, May 10. If the Legis
lature is to adjourn on May 28, as now ap
pears to be the general impression, there
are a number of things which must be gone
about at once, and in earnest, if they are to
be done at all. Not one of tbe pledgee
made to the people by both parties in the
last campaign has as yet been fulfilled, and
if they are to be carried out in the spirit, if
not in the letter, of tbe promise, it is time
an earnest effort was made In that direc
tion. Ballot reform, tax equalization, State ap
propriation for roads,, jnry expenses and
free sobool books, with increased appropria
tions for the common schools all these
were promised in one or both of the party
platforms, and but little has been thus far
accomplished in carrying them into effect.
Amended to Death.
Ballot reform, after passing the House
with a hurrah, is changed in the Senate
Committee until it is practically unrecog
nizable, and even its friends re'pudiate it.
The Taggart tax bill, prepared by a costly
commission, while just and fair in its cen
tral idea and main provisions, is loaded
down by two or three foolish aud .unneces
sary requirements which lay it open to the
charge of being "inquisitorial" and "Im
practicable," and such a storm has been
raised on these inconsequential features as
now seems likely to de'eat tbe whole meas
ure. It would have been infinitely better
to bave amended the bill in the House, and
yielded on these points, than to lose it en
tirely. Even should the Boyer bill, increas
ing tbe State tax on capital stock, be substi
tuted and parsed, it will, while in a meas
ure relieving the farming elements of tbelr
burden, never satisfy them, for it is simply
adhering to the taxing of corporate property
by the State authorities only, while tbe
eountry demands that it be bronght under
tbe taxing power of the local authorities.
The appropriation for roads has not yet
pstseJ, end even If the Governor signs the
road law it ia a question whether the State
should furnish money to be praotlcslly
wssted under Its loose aud defeetire require
ment!. The free sohool book bill is not yet
a law, nor is that providing for Btete sup
port for the indigent insane, although its
passage seems probable. The amount to be
granted the publlo sohooli has not been
zed. The revision of tbe mining laws for
both bituminous snd anthraolte regions bss
yet to be performed, Tbe bills were pre
pared by commissions orested at the oost of
the Btatr, and speedy aotlon is neeeiiary to
seoure tbelr pasisge.
Will Boon Go Through.
The apportionment bills are fairly well'
undor way, and will likely all go through
in tbe shape tho ma lorlty wants tbem passed,
unlets the Senatorial bill strikes a snag In
the Senate. Appropriation bills are la
good shape, so far as the Home is concerned,
and as tbe Senate works more rapidly than
the Lower House, they will soon be got out
of the way. Scorei of general bills on both
calendars must of necessity (all, Nobody
will be ereativ dlsannolnted. exoeut those
whose Introduced them and their constituents
at home whb desire them, but tbe State
won't .suffer from their failure to become
laws.
Bat upon the questions of ballot reform,
tax equalization, roids. schools, ttet text
books and tbe various other measures which
were promised the people, the Legislature
has not yet sized up to tbe requirements ot
the hour, and unless it takes bojd of its duty
in earnest during the few days which yet re
main in which it has to do its work, ad
journment will find it with pledges unful
filled and duties.net performed. For this
there will be a responsibility which some
one will have to bear. Uenst hall.
AETEB LABOE GAME.
Trinity Church, of Boston, May Call Canon
Fnrrar to the Pastorate.
Boston, May 10. It was reported yes
terday on good authority that there was a
sentiment growing among the members of
Trinity ChurclTin favor of calling Canon
Fsrrar to be Bishop-elect Phillips Brooks'
successor.
"I know that Canon Pamir's name has
been talked of by some of the vestrymen.'
said a lay member of Trinity, "but of
course they will sav nothing about it.
There is a sentiment in his, favor among
many ot those who are very intimate with
Dr. Brooks, and I more than half expect to
see .the rectorship offered to the Canon.
Dr. Brooks and Canon Farrar are great
friends, and there is no doubt that the ap
pointment would be eminently pleasing to
tbe Bishop-elect. When Canon Farrar was
in this country some years ago he expressed
tbe wish that should he ever be' called away
from England it would be to come to
Boston."

AHesapt to Kill an Italian Who Was About
to Salt tor Home.
T$xw Yobx; May 10. A stabbing affray
whleh bears a strong resemblance to th'e
wrk of the Mafia oeonrred Friday night in
tbe Italian quarter In West Hoboken.
Almost the only things definitely known
abont the ease are the names of"tno,manwho
was stabbed and the probability thai his
wounds are fatal. The victim is Louis Per
tti, a silk weaver who boarded in Spring
street. 'He had given up his employment
and made arrangements to ssil for Italy yes
terday. Friday evening he was the center
of group of excited Italians at West and
Hague streets. Suddenly two of the Italians
seized him, one on each side, aud a third
plunged a stiletto into his breast and neck.
Some of tbe other Italians interfered and
saved him from being murdered outright.
PerettI reluses to disclose tbe namesof
bis assailants or make any complaint
against them. A resident of the Italian
quarter advanced the theory yesterday that
PerettI was possessed of some secret that
his assailants feared be might divulge when
he reached Italy and they decided to kill
him.
