'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.
Stereotype I'lates Illustrating World's Fair

"World's Fair buildings and of other matter
connected with tne Exposition, which are

The Government asks that one Custom

plates shall pass. In the absence of instruc

ence he has received, Mr. Beid has desig

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. Laur, the prominent Boulang
ist member of the Chamber of Deputies,
against M. Constans, the Minister of In
terior in the late Cabinet, which was heard
before the police tribunal, was dismissed to
day. The ground on which this action was
taken was that M. Laur had not obtained
the assent of the Senate to prosecute M.
Constans as a Senator.
Arthur Wilson, or Tranby Croft, Weds.
Lospos, Feb. 24. Arthur "Wilson, Jr.,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur "Wilson, of

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.

land as against Hill, though he doesn't
think either of the New York candidates
will be nominated by the Democrats for the
Presidency. 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. If
Hill could score a point on Grover in this
way he had no fault to find.

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.

AN0THEE HAME MENTIONED.
Judge Dean, of Blair, Indorsed by Attor
neys for a High Honor.
It was announced yesterday in Pittsburg
that Judge Dean, of Blair county, had been
induced by his friends throughout the State
to become a candidate for the vacant seat on,
the United States Supreme bench. Judge
Dean is looked upon as one of the ablest
jurists in the State. He is in the ull
vigor of his magnificent manhood with
rare literary and judicial acquirements
and his friends have great confidence in his
campaign. His location in the State geo
graphically is urged in his favor, and his
unbounded popularity where he is best
known is said to augur well for his contest.
He is said to be a high minded Repub

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.
The report speaks of the satisfactory ad
vancement in every department of the
wokrand of assured success. The Exposi
tion site is described, the various buildings
enumerated and the work of the adminis
trative departments commended.
The following comment is made under the
heading, the Board of Lady Managers:
This auxiliary body is aotivoly and ener
getically engaged in the work within the
sphere assigned to it by the commission, and
its achievements already vindicate tho
piopriety of its creation and leave no room
for doubt that it will be the means of en
larging the influence and usefulness of
women of all participating nations as well
as our own.
fjf the proposed loan of $5,000,000 the
report says:
During tho fifth session of the National
Commission, held in September in 1891. the
World's Columbian Exposition (tho Illinois
eornoratlonl. after havinir made a careful
and accurate estimate of tho expendituirs
that would be required to prepare and equip
tim iTnnncla and buildinzs in a manner
reasonably adequate to meet the demanda
of the Exposition, determined that it would
be necessary for the corporation to secure a
loan of $5,000,000, and also that it intended to
npplv to the Congress of the United States
for sneb loan. J
The communications of President Baker
to President Palmer asking the co-operation
of the National Commission in support
of the effort- to secure the loan proposed
are given, together with the report of its
Judiciary Committee, to which the National
Commission referred their request.
Why the Appropriation Is Asked.
The action of the commission, the report
says, is based upon the finding by the di
rectory of the Illinois corporation of the
necessity for the loan and upon the further
fact that in the judgment of the commission
the Illinois corporation had made ample
provision for acquiring the 510,000,000
which it was required to raise and furnish
by the act of Congress, and had fully dis
charged its obligation in that behalf. The
commission recommends that provision be
made for its necessary current expenses in
order that it may be able to properly dis
charge the duties and functions imposed
upon it by Congress. r v
It also asks an appropriation to pay

Detective Johnson, of ( Allegheny, and
Officer' Charles Still, of York, Pa., yester
day arrested W. H. Boston, a notorious
highwayman, in McKeesport He is wanted
in York for highway robbery and felonious
assault ana cattery. These charges were
preferred against him seven years ago. A.
W. Moore was the prosecutor He was
knocked down on the highway outside of
York, beaten and robbed of 5100. His case
was but one of several that occurred about
that time in the vicinity of York, and the
police there were kept busy attempting to
discover the perpetrators or perpetrator.
Suspicion fell upon Boston, and circum
stances pointed so strongly against him
that he was arrested and lodged in jail to
await trial. A few days previous to the
time set for the hearing he broke jail. He
not only liberated himself but gave free
dom to four other prisoners. .The latter
were recaptured, but Boston eluded the offi
cers until recently.
It was ascertained a few months ago that
he was at Johnstown, but when an officer
followed him there he had departed and was
again lost track of, A few days ago Officer
Still learned that his man was at McKees
port, employed as a barber. Yesterday he
engaged the assistance of Detective .lohn
son, and they arrested Boston in a McKees-
Iiort barber shop and brought him ttftbe'Al
egheny lockup. He will be, taken back to
York to-day.
Boston is a well-dressed man, 31 years,
old, and iunmarried. He declines to say
anything relative to the charges.
Talking of Suing for Damages.
M. J. Cnllen, of the firm of Cullen Bros.
& Co., of Bochester, N. Y., was a passen
ger on the ill-fated car that ran into the
slot at the power house of the Fifth avenue
cable railway on Tuesday. He called en
Attorney H. L. Christy yesterdav to have
him enter suit for damages, but Mr. Christy
persuaded him to defer action until the
result of the injury was more apparent than
at present. It seems that the shock threw
Cullen with violence upon the stove, and
he was burned and severely bruised. He
was expectorating blood yesterday, but to
what extent he might be internally injured
could not be ascertained correctly.
