VERI IMPATIENT OF OPPOSITION. 4s- Be-Fiercely Assails What He Calls the .e. aglns Tersecntion. 'JTEWS FEOST ACEOSS THE BIG WATER "Beeldj, Feb. 21 At a banquet given in -Brandenburg, at which the Emperor was the guest of honor. His Majesty inside an ad "dress, in the course of which he blamed the "critics of the Government as enemies of the State. He urged arl those who loved the "Fatherland to follow him on the course he had entered. After saying that it was con soline to receive, in the midst of the per plexing afiairs of state occupying his whole time, so warm a recognition of his efforts for the people's welfare. He proceeded: Unfortunately, it has now become the fashion to criticise and naj at every step taken by the Government. Tubllc peace is disturbed on the most insignificant grounds. The enjoyment oflife shared by the whole German Fatherland is envenomed. As a result of this nagging persecution, many persons have been Imbued with the idea that our country is the most unhappy and worst Governed in the woild, and that -life in'sucli a country Is a perfect plague. That this is not the case we, of course, are well aware; but w ould it not be better if discon tented persons weie to shake the dust of Germany from off their feet, retiring as soon as possible to some country where such a miserable, wretched state of affairs does .exist? Tney will thus reap advnntage to themselves,at the same time doing us a great Javor. Germany Growing Out of Childhood. AVe live in a state of transition. Germany Is gradually emerging from infancy. She is Tiow about to enter on the period of youth. It would be well, therefore, if wo freed 'ourselves from infant maladies. We live in "exciting days, in which ihe Judgement of the majority of men is unfortunately devoid as regards objective facts; but quieter days are in store, since our people, now uniting, undeteired Dy the utterances of voices abroad, are putting their trnst in God and in the loval. solicitous efforts of their her editary mler. He nest referred to a suoposed historic incident in connection with bir irancis DraKe's discoverv of the Pacific He said that when the Admiral had made a landing in Central" America he inquired of the natives regarding the great ocean. Achief replied: "You are in search of the great water. Follow me, and I will show it to you." Then, despite the warnings and ex hortations from the Admiral, Sir Francis Drake, led by the chief who had volun teered to guide him, started to make the ascent of a lofty mountain chain. After surmounting many terrible and dis heartening difficulties he and his companion at length finished their toilsome journey and arrived at the summit of the mountain. Then the chief pointed to the sea behind him, and Sir Francis Drake, looking in the direction indicated, saw the wild waters of the sea which he had just crossed. The Kaiser Emulating Brake. The chief next led the Admiral around a projecting rock, when, lo! there suddenly burst upon the enchanted gaze of the ex plorer the sparkling mirror of the Pacific, stretching majestic and calm as far as the eye could reach. The Emperor continued: So may it be with us. A firm confidence in the smpathies, accorded yonr work and mine, inspires me continually with fresh strength to continue my advance in the path of heavens pointed out to me. I am also im pressed with the feeling that what has oc curred in the past is from the hand of our Supreme Lord On High. I am firmly con vinced that lie nbonas our ally at Rossbach and Donnen itz will not now lavo me in the lurch. Ho has so consistently aided the cause of Brandenburg und my house, that we cannot believe that lie has done nil this for no purpose. .Xo: on the contrary, we still have a great destiny befoie us, and I am leading you to glorious days. In conclusion the Emperor urges his hear ers not to allow glimpses into the future to be darkened by grumblers and the speeches of discontented partisans. His reply to attacks upon the policy of the Government was: ".My course is the right one and it will be prosecuted to the utmost" He added: "I trust mv brave Brandenburgers will assist me In mytask." One Frank Criticism Published. The report of the Imperial speech, as pub lished in the late edition of the IleicJisanzeigcr, includes the reference to the episode of dubious authenticity given in certain ac counts of Sir Francis Drake. The press generally has not yet had time to criticise Emperor "William's speech. The Ft ekimuqc Zcitxmg alone comments on the utterance of the Emperor. It says: Theremaiks made by Empeior William at the banquet n liich he attended at Brand enburg, are pervaded with the si me spirit which compelled him to write in the vis itor's book at Munich the sentence, "Su prema lex rpgis voluntas," and the inscrip tion under the picture which he presented to the Minister of Worship, "Sic volo, sic Jubeo," and which produced bis remark at the Brandenburg banquet in 1890, "He who bars my way I will dash to pieces," and the expression, "There is only one ruler in the country. I am he, and I will suffer no other.'r Emperor William Is right when he savs that Germany is past its childhood. Wo even believe that she lias reached man's estate. She, therefore, no . longer needs absolutism, but a constitution and a con stitutional government. A PltEKCH FAVOR FOE THE PAIS.

A CHIMNEY'S COLLAPSE Crushes Out a Number of Lives In a Xerk ahlra Town The Huln Takes Fire Girl factory Operative Are Caught Iplght Bodies Recovered. Loxdon, Feb. 24. The manufacturing lown of Cleckheaton, in "West Biding, York shire, was to-day the scene of a frightful ac cident, resulting in the loss of a number of lives. A massive chimney 60 yards high, at Marshmill's machinery and flannel factory, collapsed and fell on the roof of the factory just as a number of young women opera tives were leaving work. The piteous cries of those caught in the ruins could be heard, and the horror of the scene was soon augmented by the breaking out of fire, in which numbers of the imprisoned victims were burned. The lumber alreadv extricated includes eight killed and many injured by bating limbs crushed. Five of those who were in the building at the time of the disaster are still missing, and are not likelv to be ex tricated before morning. The "steeple jacks," who have been occupied for a week past in repairing the chimney which fell, found it was collapsing and made their es cape. The factory manager states that an expert examined the foundations of the chimney at 3 J. 31. and declared them to be safe. It is reported that the cause of the dis aster was the removal of a number of defec tive bricks in making repairs, which caused the structure to become unduly weakened. The people demand that a vigorous official inquiry be at once instituted in the matter, and that the blame for the catastrophe be placed in theproperquarler,and the persons found to be responsible for the accident be held to the strictest accountability. KOELET BOASTS BALFOUR. I Gladstone's Lieutenant Makes a Speech at Beading, England. Loxdox, Feb. 24' John Morley made a speech to-day at Beading. He denied that there was any persistent opposition to the Irish local government bill which had been introduced in Parliament by Mr. Balfour, and declared that it was Mr. Balfour's defense of the measure, and not the opposition attack, which had condemned it The bill, Mr. Morley continued, had been received with a chorus of newspaper con demnation, and the suggestion had been made that the dissidents intended to quar rel with the Tories as they had formally quarreled with the Liberals. The Government had invited the Liberals to suggest improvements in the bill, said Mr. Morley, but they must do their owa salvage work. The plain sense of the British people would tell tbera that a Gov ernment so blind to Irish requirements and British sentiment as to blunder into this in creditable bill, could not be trusted much longer with the destinies of the nation. A BIG EIOT IN BEBLItf. Police Hal c a Hard Tussle With a Mob of Laborers. Berlut. Feb. 24. The police of Bruns wick dispersed a labor meeting in that city to-night, at which violent speeches were made. They cleared the hall acd drove every one from the building. The crowd congregated outside the place of meeting and greeted the orders of the police to disperse with shouts of ironical laughter. The arrest of the leader was ordered, which was the signal for a general attack by the mob on the officers, stones and broken glass being used as missiles. The police telephoned for reinforcements, and when they arrived a combined move was made by the officers, and by the free use of their sables they succeeded in routing the mob. Seven of them v, ere arrested and placed in jail. No Redress for 31. Lanr. Paris, Feb. 24. The charge of assault made by M.

IN SEED OF SUPPORT Is the Ivew York Pasteur Institute, and Funds Must Be Found Or ITS D00S WILL HAYE TO CLOSE For Want of Suitable .accommodations and Setter Location. IT'S KOW EM AT DH. GIBIEE'S EXPINSE If FECIAL TM'EGHAM TO TITtS DISPATCTM Kew York, Feb. 24. When Police Jus tice Preisel and Dr. Ludwig B. Battler, of this city, called on Dr. Paul Gibier at the New York Pasteur Institute the other day, to see about the admission of a poor woman whose arm had been badly bitten by a dog, Dr. Gibier told them he would admit the patient free of charge, but that he would have to close the institute unless he re ceived material assistance. Yesterday Jus tice Preisel went to Trenton to urge the New Jersey Legislature to lend aid to Dr. Gibier's work, on account of what he had done for New Jersey and what be might do. Dr. Gibfer said to-day that he felt very grateful for this act on the part of the New arkjustice. "It is true," he said, "that unless I receive aid from some source I shall have to suspend my work as far as hydrophobia patients are concerned. Were it not that I have patients who come to me with other diseases I could not afford to keep up the work. It is a continual loss to me financiallv to maintain the institute. Fully half of my hydrophobia patients come from the States of New York and New Jersey. If those two Slates would as sist the institute to the extent of ?5,000 or f6,000 a year, not only could the work be carried on, but the institute could be re moved to better quarters. Elsewhere Supported by Public Aid. "There is hardly any institute of the kind in the world that is not the recipient of State or municipal aid. There are Pas teur institutes in "Warsaw, St Petersburg, Odessa. Bucharest. : Florence. Ha vana, Milan, Naples, Barcelona, Lis bon, Mexico, Bio de Janeiro, and and Buenos Ayres, and every one of them is assisted by either the city or the State, or both. Thev receive from about 56,000 an nually, whfch is paid in Havana, where the people are poor, to 520,000 or more. The Pasteur Institue in Paris has a site of five acres and endowments amounting to several million francs. It has extensive laborato ries, to which students from all parts or the world, even from Japan, come to study bac teriology. v "All these cities that I have named pay the director of the institution, his assist ants and the servants. I not only have to pay my assistants and my servants, but in some cases I have even to feed the poor patients who come to me without bread. It is hardly fair. I cannot afford to maintain a charitable institution. I have never yet asked for State aid. The aid from New Jersey, if it comes, will come unsolicited. Improvements to Follow Assistance. "If I do get aid to the extent that I have named I shall at once seek new quar ters. A gentleman stands ready to erect a suitable building which shall accommodate 20 hydrophobia patients and be provided 'with suitable laboratories. I should prob ably choose a site somewhere west of Cen tral Park. The present location is not de sirable. I have even known patients come to New York to be treated for hydrophobia and then take a steamer for Paris when they saw the sort of building the institute was in. UJy so doing they lost 12 days at a very critical time." "How many patients can you accommo date here?" was asked. "One, when I give up my own bed. I have a 5-year-old boy here now, who comes from New Jersey. He has been here three weeks, aud occupied my bed, and I have meted as his nurse. ' The house in which I now am is leased until May, and it would be nearly a year before I could hope to get into new quarters. I should give orders to build at once, if the proposed aid should be granted." Since the opening of the institnte In West Tenth street two years ago, Dr. Gibien has treated 300 patients for hydrophobia, only three of these have died, one of whom came to him too late, he says, for the remedy to be of any avail. In the last two years Dr. Gibier has received 1,400 applications for treatment and has turned away 1,100 be cause there appeared to be no danger of hydrophobia in their cases. Of the patients he has received 60 per cent, he says, have not paid what it cost to treat them. THBKE'LL BE NO CONTEST. Delegates to the Democratic State Conyen tlon Decided Upon.

He thinks Cleveland is the best man for the people. Mr. Bigler re marked that he had no complaints to make about snap judgment on conventions.

Controller of Allegheny against the present incumbent Major Brown. The other candidates for the place are Bobert Dilworth, Major McLaughlin and Major Brown. i Has Softening of the Brain. Bichaid D. Kidd was committed to jail from Braddock by 'Squire Edwards yester day on a formal charge of assault and bat tery, but it was preferre4 solely for the pur pose of having him taken into court to be declared a lunatic This was done after Drs. Chessrown aud Price had examined him and made a report Kidd will be taken to Dixmont to-day.

The new Mayor had hardly planted his foot inside the office when he waved the ax and the position of Mayor's Clerk was vacant., Henry Hunneshagen's head fell into the basket and George B. Bothwell became his succes sor. Mr. Bothwell was Mayor's X31erk for a time under ex-Mayor Pearson. He is now engaged in the real estate and insurance business, and says he will only hold the office for a short time, as he cannot afford to. neglect his business. Grant Drum, son of Councilman Simon Drum, will be ottered the position within a few days. Council man Drnm. however, savs ha will trv to have his son refuse the place. The transfer of the office waslformal. It required only 20 minutes to complete the transfer of everything. There was quite a crowd of people present. Among! them were ex-Mayor Fulton, of Pittsburg; William M. "Kennedy, the candidate for Mayor; Chairman Parke, of Common Council, and Councilman Lowe, Einstein and Neeb. Mayor Voegtly spent most of the day examining the records in, the. Con troller's office and in the heads of the various departments. He said he was just trying to catch the run of affairs. Continuing he said: "I do not know what changes I will make until I get to understand the workings of the city gov ernment better. I am just trying now to Eicfc up the details. I will hold the regular earings each morning, and if the ordinance athorizing the appointment of police magis trates is passed I will make the appoint ments. ' v "Do you intend- to signify to Councils what course you wish the city to pursue?" "I do not know yet, but may send ames- sage after I am better informed on the routine workings. What I want is an ad ministration of public afiairs that will give the Best results to the people; that will be pro gressive, ye't not make the burden of taxa tion oppressive." "Will you be a candidate for the unex pired term?" "That is something that I cannot answer jet I will not decide that matter for some time yet," It was rumored in Allegheny yesterday that Chjef Murphy intended to "resign, but when that official was asked about it he de clared he had never even thought of such a move. THE C0HEADES C0NFES. They Ktflght Old Battles and Talk Some Politics. A lively party of comrades from brigadier general to the high private gathered iu the lobby of the Seventh Avenue Hotel last night An occasional empty sleeve or a wooden leg marked the unfortunate owner as the hero of some struggle, and all united in good naturedly' correcting military, history and relighting the battles of the late war. Besides being patriots the veterans are politicians and alt evidenced marked interest in the appointment to be made by Governor Patti son to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Adjutant General McClelland. Colonel Magee, of the Eighth Begiment, Colonel Greenland. General Guthrie, Gen eral Gobin, Colonel Bates and others dis cussed the coming Adiutant General with some enthusiasm. Guthrie, Magee and Greenland are candidates for the place, and, General Gobin is a candidate for the Ee publican nomination for Governor. He rather chilled his companions by assuring' them that recently Secretary Harrity told him that Colonel Streetor, of Wash ington county, would be appointed Adjutant General. Colonel Magee ad mitted that his chances were slim. He said the appointment would likely go to the Western end of the State unless the fight between the Western candidates would become so hot that an Eastern man would be chosen as a compromise.

THAT FIVE MILLION-DOLLAR GIFT. lie Hadn't Looked Into It Enough to Make a Recommendation. SUPPORT OUGHT K0T TO BE WITHHELD Washington, D. G, Feb. 21. The President to-day sent! to Congress the fol lowing message: I transmit herewith for the information of Congress the annual leport of the World's Columbian Commission, a supplementary report of the same commission suomltted February 16, 1S2, the report of the b'oard ap pointed by me under section IS of the act of April 25, 1890, to have charge of the exhibit to be made by the Executive Departments, the Smithsonian Institution, tho Fish Com mission aud tho National Husoum, and the report of the Board of Lady Managers, pro vided lor by section 6 of the act referred to. The information furnished by these ro poits as to the progi ess of tho work is not only satisfactory but highly gratifying. The .plan and scope adopted and the site and Dulldlngs selected and now Detng erected are fully commensurate with the national or International character of tho enterprise contemplated by the legislation of Congress. The Illinois cornoratlon has fullv compiled with the condition of the law that $10,000,000 should be piovided, and the Government Commission reports that "the grounds and buildings will be the most extensive, ade quate and ornate ever davoted to such pur poses." Five millions Wanted as a Gift. It seems, however, that$3,000,000 to $8,000,000 more will In the opinion of the Local Bourd and National Commission be necessary to prepare the Exposition for a complete and successful inauguiation. It will be noticed from the reports that it was first proposed by the Local Commission to ask of Congress a loan ot $5,000,000 to be repaid fiom receipts, and that the National Commission approved the suggestion. Subsequently the Illinois Exposition corpoiation reconsidered its action and determined to ask a subscription of $5,000,000. The supplementary report of the National Commission seems to approve this amended proposition. I have not myself that detailed information as to the financial necessities of the enterprise which would enable me to form an independent judgment of the addi tional amount necessary and am not there fore propaied to mako any specific recom mendation to Congiess upon the subject. Advises Congress Not to Withhold Support, The committee of Congress having this matter in charge will undoubtedly obtain fuller accurate information before final ac tion. The Exposition, notwithstanding the limitations which the act contains, is an en terprise to ivliicli the United States is sb far committed that Congress ought not, I think, to withhold just and reasonable support if tne local corporation consents to proper conditions. Liberality on the part of the United States is due to foreign nations that havciesponded in a friendly way to the in vitation of this Government to participate in the Exposition, and will, I am sure, meet tho approval of our neonle. The Exposition will be one of the most illustrious incidents in our civic history. I transmit also certain resolutions adopted by representatives of the National Guai d of the various States appointed by theGov ernois to attend a convention' which was held in Chicago on the 27tli or October, 1891, with a view to consider the subject of hold ing a military encampment at Chieago dur-' lug the Exposition. The report of tho Columbian Commission mentioned in the President's message is signed by President Palmer, and dated Chicago, November 25, 1891. A general outline of the substance of this repprt has been made public, though Mr. Palmer re fused to give out the report when he pre sented it to the President Work Progressing Very Satisfactorily.
