The Situation in Germany.
New York. Sept. 15. 1 Hon. Chnuncey
ai. Depew arrived from Kurupe last
niBht on the steumshiu 'Paris. In an
Interview 'today concerning his vaca
tion trip he had .the following to say:

methods In the old country Is oxtra
oidinary. They say we have already
ruined their weather. Five year am
the London newspapers sent me a letter
politely requesting the appointment ol
a time convenient to myself when a
representative might call and after
ward submitted proofs. Three years,
ago reporters called and sent up their
cards, but asked few quest Inns, prin
cipally about American securities. This
year the steamer landed at 5 In tho
morning. At 6 I was dawn to break
fan to find a reporter by my chair,
saying in the well-remembered New
York way: 'Are you Mr. Chauncey De
pew? well, then, I want a column on
these subjects upon which I am In
structed to get your views.' There were
a dozen quesuiutiH covering tho elec
tions, tlnunce, Industrial prospects, nnd
the policies of parties. The interview
In whole or part appeared in all the
KngH;-'h papers. In one respect the re
sult .was interesting, and that the de
velopment of the American In England
with social ambitions. The Interview
gave the anglomankics their opportu
nity, ami they Impiuved It in the pa,
at dinners, and In the drawing rooms.
One of the questions was 'What Is the
American idea of home rule, and how
generally are Americans of one mind
on that subject?'
"Lly answer was substantially that
home rule Is the corner stone of our
Institutions, and our people are prac
tically unanimous on that subject; that
there never had been any division
anions us as to home rule for Ireland,
and we 'could not understand the real
or manufactured fears of the adop
tion of the policy leading to the dis
ruption of the British empire, (in the
contrary we thought the adoption of
the federative principle would benellt
England. Ireland, .Scotland, Wales and
the colonies; that we were heartily In
favor of English speaking peoples
leading the world, and willing that the
British empire should have a place first
in the affairs of Europe, Asia, Africa
and Australia, but that we would
neither consent nor permit the control
or occupation by any European power
of the republics of America.
Illsjudmncnt Questioned.
"Of the six 'hundred members of the
house of lords, all but twenty-five are
conservatives or Tories. Society Is
overwhelmingly the same. Americans
resident In England became attached
to the dominant party, and many of
them more extreme than Its leaders.
They wrote letters In the papers vig
orously denying my statements. Ac
cording to them I was either grossly
Ignorant of American sentiment or a
phenomenal liar. They said that be
yond the politicians and political pa
pers controlled by fear of the Irish
vote, all there Is In our country, which
rrpresents Its Intelligence, Us learn
ing. Its business and Its society, 's
opposed to 'home rule, and cordially
sympathizes with the ideas and prin
ciples of the Tory party.
"Then from the Westminster fJazette
came its representative with a uteri i
grapher, and a request for an Inter
view as the editor put It "down to
the ground." It filled 'three columns of
the paper, and was the largest contri
bution of the kind as yet printed In an
English journal. After reiterating the
statement before given, I enforced it
by stating that the dally and weekly
press of the United 'States, without
any exception, as far as I knew, had
editorially supported Mr. Gladstone
and his measure; that many of th
state legislatures 'had unanimously
passed resolutions favoring It, and that
the house of representatives, by a un
animous vote, hail received Mr. Parnell.
Now our English kinsmen loves frank
ness and fair play. He likes genuine
representees of any people, and Is
most hospltuble to them In his home
and family. Certainly I did not exper
ience any of the dreadful consequences
predicted for telling the truth.
A Joke on Mr. Gladstone.
"Why Is Gladstone like a harp ytrurk
by lightning?" was asked me. and my
helplessness was relieved by the an
swer: "Because he Is a blasted lyre." This
fairly Illustrates the feeling which even
the overwhelming triumph of the con
servatives has not tempered.
"Our enlarged navy, our recent col
llrtlon with the Hrltlsh foreign ofllce
over Nicaragua and Venezuela, our In
creasing Interest In foreign relations
and the possibility of an administra
tion which will . enforce the 'Monroe
doctrine, have created a new and un
usual Interest in the affairs of the
United States. The statesmen of both
parties would like a sort of offensive
and defensive alliance with us.
"After leaving London I went to
i,uehom, In the Pyrenees, where aome
of my family were staying.
"I was in Germany on the twenty-
fifth anniversary of the victory- of
Hcdan. The celebration reminded me
of the rejoicing with us after the sur
render at Appomattox. The enthusi
asm was wild and contagious. It de
veloped a deep-seated national and al
most passionate desire for war with
Prance now, and on any pretext to set-
tie forever the possession of Alsace
and Lorraine, and to cripple the French
that they would not longer be a men
ace to the peace of (iermany and her
military establishment might be re
duced." Ml'RDEB OF A MILATO.

tested battle of Chickamaugua, in
many respects one of the most decisive
of the war, and one in which American
pluck and endurance were shown to
greater advantage. The vice president
of the United States will be present.
Th secretary of war and general of the
army will, by their presence, lend olll
clal dignity to the occasion.
Others present will Include all, or
nearly all of the surviving federal and

in the battle. Among those are ex-Senator
Manderson. of Nebraska; General
H. V. Boynton, of Washington; General
IKidge, of Iowa; Generals Horace I'ort

Saratoga, N. Y Sept. 13. (Few of the
politicians have done little else today
than stroll about the corridors of their
respective hotels and discuss the situa
tion. Republican headquarters at Con
gress hall had an almost deserted ap
pearance tonight, while at the United
States hotel the ofllce had an air of ac
tivity that Is refreshing.
Hon. T. C. Piatt held court nt his
headquarters and reviewed the situa
tion with his supporters. That he Is
more Interested in the presidential
situation than anything else. Is con
ceded. The working of the convention
Is mapped out, and the slate formed
will go through without any trouble.
Congressman Sherman, of Utlca, will
be temporary chairman, and Clarence
Lexow, of Nyuck, permanent chair
man. The old state officers will be re
nominated with the exception of court
of appeals Judire.
What little strife there is In the con

Judge Martin, will be the successful

Bruce Wolf and iMlchuel Judge. Judgo
Is un old constable, but Volf has only

Saturday was pay day at the Kd

broke up they were Intoxicated.
About 2 o'clock In the morning the

Judge and Avolf thought they were
too noisy and attempted to arrest the
whole crowd. The'lluns protested that
they were doing nothing illegal and re

An ultercation ensued and Wolf, draw

shooter, emptied itsentire contents into
the crowd.
Tho Pullets Took llffcct.
Four of the bullets took effect. Two
struck Mike Oakyzses, a young man &!
years of nge, m- in 'the chin nd one
in the neck, indicting wounds that will
probably prove fatal. Two others
pierced the body or (John inywaris. me
boat-dim; boss, a man 40 years ot age,
one entering Just over the heart and
the other In the leg. He, tod, will prob
ably die.
The Huns, enraged at the unprovoked
shooting, started for the constables.
both of whom fled. Judge went to his
home In Kingston and Wolf followed
him down the main street. 'When near
rhe Kingston line, Wolf met Chief of
Policei John Thomas, of Kingston, who
had been attracted by the noise of tho
shooting nnd came ito ascertain the
cause. Wolf tried to borrow Chief
Thomas' revolver, but Mr. Thomas
who thought the constable was half
drunk, refused to loan It to him. AVolf
then fled and up to tonigiht nothing has
been heard of him.
Judge was arrested tonight nti'd com
mltted to Jail for hrarlntr tomorrow
Wolf hais evidently left town, for, al
though the constables searched for him
all day Willi a warrant for his arrest, he
could not lie found. There Is great In
dignnMon at Kdwnrduvllle over the
shooting, which, from the testimony of
those present, seems to have been en
tlrely unprovoked.
Tlie .Hungarians, It is paid, when ne
ensted by the constables, ottered to go
home, 'but refused to go to Jail, as they
held that they had been dv.ing nothing
wrong.
FELL FROM A TRAIN.
llody Was Not recovered I'ntll Many
lours Afterward.
As the Pleasant Beach excursion
train was homeward bound between
New IMilford and Alfor-d, Saturday
night, a Polander of the adopted name
of Mike McKinney fell from the plat
form as he was passing between tho
cars and plunged headlong down the
embankment. A couple of girls who
heard him scream and saw him in the
act of falling gave the alarm nnd some
of the excursionists pulled the bell rope,
For some reason or another the train
was not stopped until some minutes
later, when the place of the accident
was left behind several miles. The con
ductor sent a flagman buck to hunt for
the man and the train proceeded to this
city, arriving here eit 12...0 a. m.
hen the flagman Teported to this
city that he could not find nny traces
of the man orders were given for the
etion hands to look for him. At day
break one of the navvies discovered his
body nt the foot of an embankment
with the head submerged In a pond,
which skirls tho road nt that point
Life, of course, was extinct, but
whether or not he was killed Instantly
Is a matter of doubt. There were two
bad fractures of the skull nnd in all
probability death resulted almost In
stantaneously from these causes. The)
possibility, however, that he might
have lingered some time or that he
might have regained consciousness and
afterward fell down the embankment
was the subject of much conjecture
among; railroad men yesterday.
The remains were removed to this
city nnd placed In ltaub'n undertaking
establishment pending the arrival of
his brother, who lives in Mauch Chunk.
The unfortunate man was a skilled cm
pl ye of the axle works nnd boarded
with Michael Battle, of the South Side.
He was about 110 years of age and un
married. HAVE LEFT THE KNIGHTS.

WENT TIIROlr(;il GLASS.
Thomas c,nlnn's Peculiar Conduct at
llrond's Oyster House.
Thomas Cjulnn, a cnb mnn, broke
the glass door In Broad's oyster and
chop house on Tenn nvenup last night
nt D.'W. went through the aperture and
was preparing to indulge in some blue
points when a policeman Interrupted
lilm and took him to the central lockup.
The ruthless manner in which he
gained access to the place is accounted
for by the fact that he was In a bad
Mate of physical collapse superinduced
by the want of food for several days
nnd excessive Indulgence In the flowing
bowl.
