Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 25. "I'm much improved in health," was Senator Quay's reply this morning to a question as to how he h.vl enjoyed his tarpon fishing vacation at St Lucie. "That's what I went down here for, and the result, therefore, is very satisfactory." "Are yon going back North to take a hand in the campaign, Mr. Quay?" "The first thing I do will be to consult a physician, some specialist, probably. My vertigo hasn't left me, and I want to know why, mighty quick, andapply the remedy." Mr. Quay tiad been troubled with dizzy spells before he came South this time, and they have been quite as frequent here as before. "When I lie down," he said, "it teems as if the whole room was swimming round :n mid air. It's just the same when walking or sittiug still. 1 have never been ocrcome by this vertigo, have never fallen, even, but I leel that it is not safe to be left alone while I am subject to these spells. I don't know what might happen. So my first duty is to get my health back, not to jump into politics." Quay Doesn't Need Any Placating. "Do you think any effort will be made to placate you. before the November election?" "I don't know whv there should. I don't know that there's any reason to suppose that I need placating. My relations with Harrison have been cordial as far as it was necessary for tbem to be. When I've wanted anything of him I've always gone "straight to him forlt, and I've generally gotten it. The newspapers have a go6d deal to say about our strained relations, and have charged open personal hostility be tweeu us, but you know how that is your self," and the Senator's right eye dropped its lower lid a bit. Mr. Quay said he had read in the news papers that President Harrison had actual ly called on Piatt in New York. "I would hardly believe it," he added. "Has this report ever been confirmed? I should want it to be before I took any stock in it." He Has Nothing to Ask of Harrison. He was assnred that the administration had succeeded in actually "placating" the New York Republican boss, and then he was asked: "So the existing relations be tween you and the Harrison administration are not likely to be changed at all in the next six weeks, are they?" "Not that I know of. Pennsylvania's vote is sure for Harrison, isn't it? I've nothing to ask of the administration, and I don't know what I've got to give it, if it should ask for anything from me." When asked about the general situation politically, Senator Quay said: "I don't speak from the inside, of course. I'm no longer a member oi the National Com mittee, and have not been in close touch with the situation for many weeks. But it looks to me as if Harrison's election was a dead certainty. No changes in the West can change the result, in my opinion. If Harrison carries New York he will be elec ted, and he's going to carry New York, too. "Why Cleveland Will Lose Sow York. "I have seen some statements to the ef fect that, by reason of a fear of the trade disturbances incident to the tarifi legisla tion which would be inevitable with a Democratic Congress and a Democratic ad ministration, business men in the New York Democracy favor Harrison's re-election. But I don't take any stock in this. Cleveland will be beaten by dissensions in the New York Democracy nothing else. My belief is that the business people throughout the country would as lief have Cleveland for President as Harrison, as far as their business interests go. A split in his partr, a lack of unity in sentiment for him, is what is going to defeat him." "Do you look for anything sensational in Cleveland's letter of acceptance. Senator?" "Well, it's a long time coming: isn't it? I think he must be wrestling with the tariff plank,and that other one committing his party to an advocacy of 'wildcat banks;' don't you? I can't lor the life of me see how Cleveland can indorse the Chicago tariff plank. He must be preparing a mod ification of it, in some way. Cleveland's Strength WItli the Bankers. "And that wildcat bank plank he can't stand squarely on that. He is particularly sound in his financial views. The financial interests all over the country swear bv Cleveland, especially the bankers. He kept the national banks well stuffed with Government deposits or rather, Secretary Fairchild did it for him. There was a big Treasury surplus, you remember, in those days. So I can't see how he can commit himself to the Democracy's 'wildcat bank' politics. Sometimes it seems to me actual ly as if that Chicago platform had been framed especially to kill oft Cleveland with. I sall await that letter of acceptance with inni'h interest." The talk drifting into Pennsylvania poli tics, Senator Quay said there was nothing new in the situation there that he had been apprised of. "Will you be a candidate be fore the new Legislature lor re-election to the United States Senate?" he was asked. . "X can't say," was the reply. "I may. and I may not. I should, of coarse, like to see a Legislature elected favorable to my re-election. But in that event, even, I might not become a candidate." "Are the Legislative nominees on the Re publican ticket, as a general thing, favora ble to you?" "I think so. At least, I know of nothing to the contrary. But the Mugwumps and Democrats have combined to defeat me. Their candidate for United States.- cen&tor is Pattison, the present Goverir." "Do you think this combine will control the next Legislature?" "I can't tell a thing about it. Politics is very uncertain, especially Pennsylvania State politics." "Do yon think any considerable number of Mugwumps would support PattisoD, a Democrat, for the Senate?" "Oh, he's a Mugwump himself, a Mug wump Democrat You know what that is." 'The tail end of a genuine Mugwump?" was suggested. Senator Quay nodded his head approv ingly and laughed heartily. Not Joggling With Florida's Vote. When told of the opinion recently ad vanced by some Northern newspapers that he was down here in Florida "juggling with the Florida electoral vote," he laughed even more heartily. "I don't believe," he said, "that it can be joggled with. I guess the Democrats have got it nailed down pretty close to the floor, haven't they? No poli tician of either party has visited me in Florida. I have had no letters on the sub Ject, and onr cottage is three miles lrom a telegraph office. St Lucie would be a hard place in which to juggle with an electoral vote." Senator Quay read alond from a news paper the headlines of a AVashington special noting the return of Mrs. Harrison to the White House. "Poor woman," he said, "I'm afraid she's going to die." There was much feeling in his tone and his sym pathy for the President was manifestly a genuine one. The Senator and his son Dick will both retnrn to St Lucie next November, seven weeks before Congress opens.' THE INFLUENCE CLUB DEAD. A Woman's Movement Coolly Snubbed by the Democratic Leaders. New York, Sept 23. Special What it was proposed to call the Frances Cleveland Influence Club will not participate in the National Convention of Democratic clubs In this city next month. Since Its organiza tion, three months ago, it has been awaiting the indorsement of the National Democratic Committee. This indorsement has not been forthcoming, and the secretary of the club has resigned In disgust The secretary is Miss Sarah E. Fuller. She was seen to-day nt Central Park, Long Island, where sue has been spending the summer. "So far as I am concerned," said Miss Fuller, "the In fluence Club is dead It lias never been lennined since Grover Cleveland wrote re fusing to let Mrs. Cleveland's name be used. If tho Democratic Committee had given ns support we would now be doing offecttvo work. The Republicans have backed Mrs. J. Ellen Foster in her organiza tion of Republican women, and I under stand that the Republicans Intend to or ganize tho colored women into clubs. It seems to me that if women can help the Re publicans, they might at least be recognized by the Democrats." Mls Fuller has written to Mrs. Ormsby, tbo President or tbe clnb, that in her opin ion It would be well worth while for the club to disband. Tbe Democratic Camoalgn committee was the body from which tlie Democratic clubs expected assistance. Tho Chairman, Don M. Dickinson, said that the committee had done nothing intbe timtti-r of talnTtl3D"tlfei.flh"ehXlubmovement The President of tbe club had called on htm and talked matters over, Dut he had decide J to do nothing. STATE BANKING FACTS. The Secretary 6f the Treasury Finds Som Good Campaign Material. WASni:fGT0ir,Sept25. Sjjeciaij Secretary Charles Foster is expected to furnish the managers of the Hariison campaign with a political sensation within the next few days. It is contained lu a statement being pre pared by "Harry" Smith, a former Journal Clerk in the House of Representatives, and now Assistant Register of the Treasury, under General Rosecrans. At the last session of Congress a resolu tion was adopted calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for certain Information rel ative to the national binking system. When it was decided by the Republican managers to pet up an issue on the plank In the Dem ocratic platfonn demanding the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on the notes issued by State Banks, Smith was detained to make a visit to New England and interview some of the leading bankers and capitalists on the snbject As in tho case of Commissioner Peck In New Yolk, Mr. Smith obtained much information, lie is permitted to use the substance of it in his report to tbe Sec retary of the Treasury. It is understood that capitalists of New England make somo startling statements and produce some astonishing figures in opposition to tho State banking system, wlilcn the Republicans will use with good effect The lenort which Mr. Smith Is pre paring is to be made to Congress next winter, but It Is understood that Secretarv Foster proposes to give out certain portions of It for use in the campaign. A VERMONT SENSATION. The Prohibitionist Candidate for Governor May Be the One Who Is Sworn In. New York, Sept 25 Bradley B. Smallcy, member of the Democratic National Com mittee and late a candidate for Governor of Vermont, announced to-night that he had made a discovery which would, if con tested, give to Allen, the Pi ohibitionlst candidate, the oflico of Governor of Vermont Mr. Smalley said that while Allen received but 1,200 or 1,500 votes, ho was the only candidate for the position who Is eligible. Ir tho conclnsions of both Chairman Carter, of tbe Repuhlican, and Chairman Hariity, of the Democratic National Committee, are correct neither he nor Levi K. Fuller, tho Re publican candidate, who received a majority of about 19,000, are eligible. By ad vice of counsel, both chairmen have issued a circular letter advising any persons who may have been nominated for Piestdental electors who are directors of National banks or who bold public offices of trust or prollt to withdraw, for fear that they might urovo to bo ineligible. y "The fact is." said Mr. Smaller ."Hint nn. der this construction botn Mr. Fuller and mysolf ivere Ineligible, for we are both dl rectors ot a national bank. The Constitu tion of the State of Vermont is very rigid on this point, and besides affecting Mr. Fuller's election it will deHir several members of the Vermont Legislatuio from being sworn in."

A Fierce Onslaught From the Polpit Upon the New York Health Authorities, Tam many Hall and the Steamship Com paniesNo Quarantine Against An archy. New York, Sept 25. Eev. Thomas Dixon, before his sermon to-day, spoke of the lesson America should learn from the appearance of cholera. Said he in part: "The sudden appearance of Asiatic chol era in the bay ot New York carries with it a startling message to the people of Amer ica. "We have 'been taught that pot house politics is a poor training for health officials. "We must commend in the past the zeal with which our quarantine officers have sought to prevent the entrance of the disease into the city; bnt say what we will about the effici ency of our quarantine, its methods have been a jumble of stupidity and brutality, with scarcely a trace of executive ability backed by scientific knowledge The public opinion that supports such meth ods Is no better than the mob of ignorant baymen that drove helpless women and children with guns and stones from tbo landing at Fire Island. "The condnct nf this quarantine business has not only been a disgrace to the Amer ican nation it is more. It is a stigma on the Anglo-Saxon race. It has lowered the reoord of humanity itself. As for this, we must thank our pot-honse politicians, whoso llfo-prinolpl is, 'to -tbe-Yietur-jjolcng-the1 spoils.' "Wo havelcared that there are great steam ship companies whose sole aim in llfo is to coin money. To do this they do not hesitate to sell the health of 60,000,000 people In Atuorica for tho price ot the steerage pas sage of a few hundred pest stricken refu gees. Every city in America is at the mercy of New York. New York is at the mercy of every city In Europe. Let our brethren in other cltie's remember this when tliev apol ogize for and excuse the villainies of Tam many Hall for the sake of the vote the gang polls in a Presldental election. Let tbe men who stand for decency In their home cities, and yet accent with a chuckle an Invita tion to speak In the den on Fourteenth street, remember these facts. Tammany Hall is not simply a local disgrace. It may be a national scourge. "I believe that God has sent the cholera to onr doors as an object lesson to tell us of the still more deadly moral disease we are dally importing. What is the sense of mov ing heaven nnd earth to quarantine a few victims or pest-ridden Hamburg, and at the same time opening wide our gates to John Most and Berkman? Why buy an Island to quarantine 500 well American citizens and open our gates to the thousands who formed tbe mobs at Haymarket Square, delivered New Orleans over to the reign of the assassin and called foithan army in Pennsylvania and New York to restore ordert Does any thinking man doubt, in view of recent events, that these steamship companies aro in collusion with tne piisons and poor houses of Europe?" DECEIVES BY A BRIGHT STAB. Why Amateurs Imagine They Saw the Fifth Moon of Jupiter. Siir Feakcisoo, Sept. 25. Prof. E. Barnard, the noted astronomer who lecently discov ered Jupiter's fifth satellite, has sent a long communication from Lick Observatory In reference to the statement by Lawyer Cog ley, of Washington, that he, and not Bar nard, first discovered tho new moon. Prof. Barnard says: "I have stated that this new satellite to Jupiter Is of the 13th magnitude. There is a certain relation between the aperturo or the telescope and its penetrating power for the falntness of tho star that can bo seen with it. No flvo-ineh telescope would show this satellite ir it were isolated on a dark sky from tho planet Since Mr. Cogley's claim was published, I have received a letter from a minister of tho gospel wh lives in one of the Eastern cities, and who claims to have discovered tbe filth satellite with a small telescope. It Is unfortunate that on the night or the dis covery there was a bright star near Jupiter, and every amateur that looked at the planet on that date will now recall to himself that he then, also, saw five moons of Jupiter." JOHN DILLON HURT. lie FallsJTrom a Car Into the Street and Breaks Ills Arm. Dublin, Sept. 25. John Dillon, the promi nent Irish Nationalist met with a very pain ful accident in this city to-day. He wis riding in a car, when in some way he was thiown violently from the seat to tho ground, bis body striking tho earth with much force. When the car man and others rushed to his assistance ana helped him to his leet.he was bleeding freely and appeared to be badly hurt , Medical assistance was summoned, and it was lound that Mr. Dillon had rocelved a severe cut on his face, and that the bone of his left forearm was broken. Ho was greatly shaken up by his fall, bnt the attending surgeon announces that the patient is pro grossing favoiably, and that no serious re sults are anticipated. MRS. HARRISON NO WORSE. A Night of Unusnal Wakefulness Causes a Humor That Is Denied. Washington, Sept 25. Tho -weather was very oppressive in Washington last night, particularly before midnight Its effect was apparent on Mrs, Harrison, who was unusu ally restless and wakeful. This fact gave rise to a rumor which was current to-nlgbt that there had been a change for tho worse in her condition. This, however. Dr. Gardner, her physloian, asserts Is -not the case. He reportstbat Mrs. Harrison slept several honrs during the day, and took her usual amount of nourish ment, and that she is as comfortable as usual to-night and Is resting quietly. No new complication of any character has man ifested itself, nor is there an indication of any. IS The Southern Snpreme Jus tice Suffers a Slight' Stroke of Paralysis. HE'S NOW BETTEE, THOUGH And Is Not Considered in Any Imme diate Danger of Another. HE HAS SO' LONG BEEN FAILING' That Fctt Were Much Furpristd at the News When Learned.- PECULIAR FEATURES OP HIS COMPLAINT traou a BTArr coBBESroNOEyT.i "Washington, Sept 25 Everybody was shocked, though nobody was surprised, to read this morning of a paralytic stroke suffered by Justice Lamar, of the Supreme Court Though it was stated that the stroke occurred last Wednesday, the fact was known to no one in this city until to-day. He has almost entirely recovered and to-day was dressed and walking about the house. Justice Lamar has declined rapidly in health for some time and has not been at all well for years. During the last year, pre vious to the vacation of the Supreme Court, he wasted away until he was hardly more than a shadow, and strangers looked with pity on the man, remarkable of figure and face, who walked along the streets as if in a dream, his features drawn as though by dreadful suffering, and altogether one of the most pitiable of human beings. The case of Justice Lamar is a remarkable one, and has to some extent baffled the most skillful physicians. He has never admitted physical suffering in the form of what is, known as "pain" at any time, yet his countenance has for years suggested that of aperson who was undergoing the extremity of agony. Die Has Not Smiled for Years. For years no one has known Judge Lamar to smile. Before he left the Senate he had fallen into this condition. In his earlier days in public life he was ready, and even too willing, to take a hand in debate on any question, and few speakers In the country could equal him In eloquence and brilliancy' oi orator'- uuring nis last years in tne Senate ho was tiansforraed. It seemed ns though nothing could arouse him except some assault upon his beloved South, lis was one of the unreconstructed. Let him be ever so deeply abstracted, if a fellow-Senator sought him in the cloak rooms, where he usually lay as one half dead, and told him of somo unusual assault In tho way of flaunting tbe "Dloody shirt" In the faco of the South, Lamar would be on fire at once, his lethargy all gone in a mo ment, and for an hour or more ho would hurl eloquent denunciations at the Senator who had dared to put an insult upon a fallen foe or to lmpngn the honor of any man in tne boutn. Such oratory was more rhetorical than practical, but it was full of fervency and of eloquent periods. Having finished ho would again take himself to the cloakrooms and at once pass into that lethargic stato which came to be a subject or remark among all his associates, and which made his appoint nienfto a position-in rneCablnet" Or FroflC ' dent Cleveland a matter of astonishment and widepread comment. A Mjstery About Lamar's Preferment Indeed, there has always beon a mystery hanging around the promotion of Lamar by Cleveland that no ono seemed capable of ex plaining. If the comment was universal, though somewhat in undertones, when he was appointed Secretary of the Interior, it was far more emphatic and open when be was placed on the bench of the highest ju dicial body of the Government Criticism went beyond the point of fault-finding, in astonishment as to what it could all mean As Secretary of the Interior Lamar was notably Incompetent. He rendeied many decisions that were remarkable for their errors or their mistiness, and many of them were of necessity suppressed by his infe riors in office. Ills decisions wore few, how ever, as most of the duties of his office were performed by his assistants. Ofteu he was aiousod fiom his condition of lethargy with difficulty merely to Induce him to write his name to some official document. Persons calling on him on important business would lecelve tbe most absent and lrrevelant an swers to their questions, and would go away leeling that they had not been understood, that they had not even been heard; and tho wonder that one In his condition should be letained in office went to every part of tbe country. At the very time when gossip was most rife In regard to the Inability of Lamar to perforin the duties of his oflloe as Secietary, everybody except the lew who had boen consulted was astounded to bear of his nomination for the position on the bench or the Supreme Court of the United States. Tlie President Was Well Posted. Cleveland well knew of the peculiar con dition of Lamar when in the office of Secre tary. He was advised strongly against his appointment to tho supreme bench. Those who had known the once brlllant orator from his boyhood, and who loved him for what he had been intellectually In the past, urged that the appointment would be one to bo regretted, as exposing Lamar more than ever to the scrutiny and criticism of the public Since he took his neat with the august body who sit in their somber gowns in the old Senate chamber, he has scarcely ever loused himself. Much of the time during the sessions' of the couit, when he has been present at all, be has slept with his chin upon his bosom In the presence of the court and of tbe wondering visitors who tbiong the chamber daily, and who never failed to nsk, "who is tbe old fellow who is fast nsleep?" He would leave the court room and walk in the streets In an abstracted way, and probably go tar out of his road. Ho has been known to fumble mound a file alarm box trying to drop a letter Into It until some bystander would inform him of his mistake, and scoies of other instances of his abstraction might bo told. All this is painful, but the most painful part of it was that he should have been placed In this high position when ho was known to have passed into such a physical aud mental condition as to londer him ab solutely unfit lor the office, and to become unavoidably a subject ot remark and won der. Acting as Though Ho Were Hypnotized. During tbe last session of the Court, and especially towaid the cloBe of the session, the peculiar lethargy of tbe Judge was more remarked than ever before. He acted as though he was hypnotized, and had been commanded to remain forever in this half awake, half-sleep condition. It was pre dicted when the vacation came that he would not again be seen in the courtroom, his failure had been so rapid and so sure for months. Somewhere in the country there are a few scattered fragments of a lamlly who have watched with peculiar interest the stiange affection of Justice Lamar. One of them is an elderly widow and a clerk on a small sal ary In the Treasury Department. She Is the widow of Judge Chlsholm, who was assas sinated by tbe Ku Klux years ago In Missis sippi during the days or reconstruction. It will be remembered that after the convic tion of members of the murderous "Klan" by the fearless course of Judge Chlsholm, the beautiful mansion of the Judge was sur lounded, the owner riddled with bullets as he was trying to argue with the mob, and his young daughter murdered at his side as she stood there thinking that the fiends would not dare to shoot her father in her presence. Tho remaining members of tbe lamlly1 were saved only by the exertions of some of the better class of citizens who were horrified at the mnrder of the child. Called a Case oi Retribution. The Chlsholms have always held that Judge Lamar's course had much to do with the assassinations. In his capacity as J LAMAR WARNED counsel for the Ku-Klux it is said that he virtually advised his clients to resort to the extremest measures to avoid being taken to prison. It is bnt stating a truth known to many persons here, that those who were best acquainted with the oonduct of Lamar In connection with that black and bloody episode in the history or Mississippi look upon his strange condition of tbe last few years as a result of. If not retribution for, his acts or that tlme.brought about, partially at least, by his brooding over the almost un paralleled ferocity of the murder of Judge Chlsholm' and his daughter, the ruin of one of the loveliest homes in the State, and the permanent expatriation of the remaining members of tho broken-hearted family. It is possible that In the heat of his plea as counsel for tho Ku-EIux, Lamar went farther than he thought, but that he threat ened with death and advised the death of any who dated to take a hand In tbe con viotlon of the men under an est, or In their transpqitatlon to prison if convicted, is said to be capable of tho clearest proof. ALL WELL IN NEW YORK. No New Developments at Quarantine A Crazy Tramp Invades the Sacred Pre cincts of Camp Low Tlie Very Latest Cholera Bulletins From Europe. New Yoke, Sept 25. Nothing but fav orable reports are heard here on all sides in the city, while at Quarantine and at Sandy Hook the medical staff are rejoicing at their success in stamping out tbe cholera which had taken hold at Camp Low last week. The detained passengers are singing and dancing to the music of every song yet in vented. They are the happiest lot of pris oners ever seen. The camp, after a quiet and peaceful day, was thrown into excitement by the appear ance within tho lines of a tramp whose ar rival is enshrouded in mystery. The man has the appearance of havingiccetved rough usage, from the torn state of bis clothing and his hatless head. He is a German and gave his name as Anton Duda. He is ap parently a lunatic, and told tho officers he left New York, tho last time he was shavod, appaiently some months since, and that he walked here on the water. He added that ho had been locked ud for three months lor voluntarily walking into prison. As far as can be learned, the man eluded tbe sentinels posted by the Now Jersey authorities at the State line boundary, and got on the ground occupied by the regular troops at Sandy Hook, who turned him over into tbe marine camp, whose officers, in turn, ran him oat of their lines into Camp Low under the impres sion that he was an escaped immigrant The following aro the latest cholera bul letins from Europe: Vienna It is reported that no fresh cases of cholera and no deaths from the disease have occurred In Galicia In 36 hours. Brussels The health returns show that five fresh cases of cholera and three deaths were repoi ted in this city and suburbs to- uay. St. Petersburg Thirty-two fresh cases of cholera and five deaths from the disease oc curied In this city yesterday. Paris In this city and suburbs yesterdav there wero 15 fresh casos of obolera and 17 persons died fiom the disease. Two deaths lrom cholera wero reported yesterday in St Omer, 22 miles from Calais. In a suburb of Cherbourg one case of tbe disease was re ported to tbe authorities yesterday, and In Havre seven tresh cases and four deaths qc curred during the same time. Hamburg The fresh cases of cholera re ported In this city yesterday numbered 6.2 and the deaths due to the plague 23. RoTirRDAM The cholera still prevails in the Netherlands, but not to an extent to justify anyalaim that the pestilence will get beyond the control ot tho authorities.

Strouble, having been paid off, chipped in and bonght a gallon of whisky, whloh they took to work with them. Drink followed drink until all thought of labor had fled and the crowd became uproarious. During some rough skylarking one of tbe Casselmans be came angered and struok at Burton. Tbe low became geneial and blows fell thick and fast Suddenly George Casselman whipped out a revolver. With a savage yell the others grasped their axes and commenced a fierce and bloodv battle. Morris Caselman sprang foiward In defense or his brother, but too late. The keen ax descended and buried itself in the flesh of Geoige Casselman, who fell to tbe earth fatally wounded. Venamen succeeded in inflicting a slight wound upon his opponent, but was in turn cut down and lay dying on the ground. The sight of their teirible woik sobered Burton and Strouble, who threw away their axes and fled. Morris Casselman, as soon as bis wounds wonld al low him, mado his way to the cabin of a lumberman and mado known tbe details of tho fight NO BETHEL, BUTHIGHEB WAGES Wanted by a Sailor, "Who Interrupts a Chi cago Preacher's Sermon.

This morning he made the matter a subject of earnest appeal to the members of his congregation.

BISMARCK AS BITTER AS EVER, His Editorials Attacking the Coalition in a Vigorous Way. SOCIAL DEMOCRATS IN A WRANGLE tBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. Berlin, Sept 25. CopynW. The Black Alliance of Clericals and extreme Conservatives has been consummated in the face of the bitterest opposition of the Lib eral press. Ridicule, invective and pessi mistic prophecy have been" heaped up by Berlin editors in the way of the negotia tions for this coalition, yet, in spite of all, Count Caprivi has found the means which will enable him to "swim against the stream, " against the next session of the Beichstag. There is little doubt, however, that the Alliance cost the Government a high prioe the return of the Jesuit orders, at least, and probably more. An attempt to unite the National Lib erals and the Independents (Freisinnige) in opposition to the Government coalition has failed completely, owing principally to the jealousy of the leaders. The scheme was impracticable fro.m the first, and be came doubly so when Prince Bismarck was suggested as the probable leader over men whom he delighted to snub when he was in power. Tlie Opposition Not Discouraged. Probably not even a temporary under standing in the Reichstag will be possible, and the passage of the military bill will be comparatively easy. This prospect does not discourage the opposition, however, who hope by sheer popular antagonism to coun terbalance the majority in Parliament, as was done In the case of the school bill. Herr Von Helldorff and his small contin gent of dissentient Conservatives, who sepa rated trom tlie regular Conservatives on the school bill fosue, have declared emphatically against the military bill. In his weekly newspaper Herr Von Helldorff yesterday expressed the opinion of bis faction thus: "A load would be removed from the mind of every patriotic, single-minded German, out side, perhaps, the military circles, if thero were still room to hope that the military proposals would be withdrawn unreserved ly. The economies and financial situation are generally unfavorable to the enormous increase of expenditnre which the bills in volve especially for strictly military pur poses. Furthermore, every German Is hwaro how stiongly the greatest authorities of the past deprecated the adoption of tho two years' term of service as an extremely dangerous and perhaps disastrous experi ment." Bismarck Bitterly Attacks the Alliance. In the Hamburger Nachriehten, Prince Bis marck attacks the Black Alliance with that bittorness which he omits no opportunity tbexprossagafrtt 'the Clericals nnd their party policy. This Alliance, be says, has no resemblance to tbe old coalition of his loglme. His cartel wa3 a combination of healthv elements in the State, and was de signed, irrespective of minor difference, to arrest the surrender or the Empire to a theocratic conspiracy engineered by the Ultramontane and Papish contingent. Tho JYuchrich en then urges the revival of the old cartel to protect tbe Empire against the irreparable damage which would lesult from tbe proposed yielding of the Govern ment to the Catholics. Such a cartel, says Bismarck, would be able to oppose to the Government the pressure of a strong, self reliant Parliament, and re-establish the equilibrium which tbe legislative power had allowed too long to be ignored. "If the Government had to face the ser ried lanks of a united and determined Ger man party, formed from moderate ele ments," contlnnes Bismarck, through his editor; "if that party had the courage and solf-reliance necessary to arrest the pressui e of wishes formulated in higher qnarters, ex cept when sneh wishes were shown clearly to harmonize with the country's welfaro and the necessary maintenance or state authority; If the obsequiousness and the Jealous selfishness of the tactions wore abolished, then the Reichstag mlht indeed be in a position during tbo impending struggles to impose on the Government the public welfaie as suprema lex, and the Fatherland from drifting upon the quick sands of olerical dictation." A Socialistic-Democratic Wrangle. Tho regnlars and the independents of tbe Social Democratic party had one of their periodical l ows on Wednesday evening In Urania Hall.Bangle strasse. About 100mp were present, the strong minority being .in dependents. The speakers of the regulars were howled down, the names of Bebel and Llebknecht.the Parliamentary leaders, weie greeted with cries of "traitor," "capital ists" and "thieves," and eventually tbe meetingwns captured bv the disturbers. Com rade Herrmann closed a lurid speech with these words: "Down with the Parliamentary party! Down with the so-called social Dem ocrats In the Reichstag! Down with every thing else tending to enslave the people!" Comrade Wilhelm Werner said that the National Executive Commit too of tho Social Democratic Regnlars were a lot of capital ists no better than other capitalists. The members had recently placed 370,000 marks, their campaign fund for tbe next election, at Interest In the bank of England. Bebel, Liebknecht and Singer, he said, ran the party lor their own benefit, aud spent its lunds on high-salaried favorites. Werner added that the recent successes of the Social Democrats In municipal elections was only a foretaste of their success in the noxt Par liamentary elections. Both Werner and Herrmann spoke amid wild confusion, sev eral lights among "comrades" in the rear of tbe hall and general hooting and j oiling closed the meeting. Wilhelm and the Bismarck Family. - The retirement of Major Count August Bismarck and Captain Count Blsmnrck Boblen from the Queen's own body dragoons has made a very painful impression here, as nobody believes that they resigned of their own preference. Thero is little doubt that a hint from high quarters was communi cated to them, and that both ob-eived its warning only with the greatest reluctance. The fickleness of the Emperor's moods In matters concerning the liiMiiai-cws is one of the most curious leatuies of court life, just now. One day the Emperor blows hut and shows symptoms or desirin r a reconcilia tion; the next d.iy he blotfs cold and points a fresh snub at Friedrlchsruhe. The m-crot of this cnangeablene-H is snppnsed to lie the division among the Emperor's admirers, as well as the Emperor's fear that he may reem to be anxious. The courts ot Saxony, Bavaria, Baden and Weimar, besides many members oi tho high Prussian aristocracy, undoubtedly lavor a reconciliation. Count (Japrtvl, whom Bismarck continues to ridi cule and denounce, is against a reconcilia tion on the ground that the Government would be lowered before tho people by the Emperor's confessing friendship with its Dltterest sntagonlst. The Emperor Is In clined, independently of all advlsere, to favor an outward reconciliation, at lease, to save himself from popular reproach for in giatitudo. At tho same time he will not take tbe first step. Bremen Pleased With Her Own Enterprise. Bremen gloats over her success in making the Wesor navigable by big steamships from Biemerbaven to the city.

A Louisiana Jurist Pays a Negro S100 to Kill an Enemy of Ills. New Orleans, Sept. 25. Last night os Jndge J. C. Bauman, of Kennerville, was ar rested In this city, charged with being accessory to the attempted assassination of Judge Long in Kennerville, La., last July. Bauman's arrest grows out of tho con lesslon of Dennis Bicbards, the negro who was arrested last Friday in the swamp Boutte. Bicbards admits that bo fired shots which wonnded Judse Long, but further says that Bauman offered him $100 to kill Long. He says that he was In communica tion with Bauman after tbe shooting, and that Bauman promised to send him money and to use hi3 influence to get him out of trouble. Another leature in this case is that a few weeks ago a netrro named Dixon was lynched for the very crime which Richards now confesses that he committed himself, instigated by Bauman.

Although there are no registry figures as yet to determine the actual facts, not a few Republicans and just as many Democrats are convinced that there will be a material falling off in the vote this fall. The muni cipal elections in New York and Kings county may stimulate things somewhat. The up-country vote, though, is in danger of falling down. This applies to the Demo crats as well as the Republicans.
