THE SCBANTOK TBIBUNE-MOXDAY MOBNINO. SEPTEMBER 30, 1893. 2)E? TTO&II (Copyright 1881 by . I. More than one attempt has already been made to explain an Incident which, at the time It took place, threw the whole diplomacy of Kurope into a iitate of not unnatural consternation. The one prominent fact was a simple as H was astounding. Whilst a congress was sitting to settle the terms of a treaty between two belligerent powvra, and the success of the assembled diplo matists was known to depend largely on their keeping their proceedings abso lutely secret until they should have ar rived at n definite result, a draft-copy of the treaty suddenly appeared In the columns of a well-known 1ondon news paper. A thunderbolt falling in ttndr midst could not have startle! the pleni potentiaries more. In fact, for the mo ment this premature revelation threat ened to put an end to the congress alto gether, as it seemed to point inevitably to a breach of faith on the part of one of the member. Of course, an at tempt was made to disavow the draft treaty, and. as a matter of fact, this prenvature publication rendered it ab solutely necessary to modify some of It provisions, more especially those of the famous thirteenth clause. Hut none the les. the draft-treaty as originally published was known to be correct In all Its main details, and the question arose 'how It had been possible for any newspaper to obtain a knowledge of these details whilst the congress was still sitting, and all Its deliberaMons wvre Veiled In the profoundest secrecy. As I have already said, various at temptsmore or less Ingenious have heen made to solve the mystery, but these n:;empts have all stopped short of the actu.il solution. Many Interest ing details have been given which were false, and some loss interesting which were true, but how that raptor quotldl anus the daily press came to be able tn carry off in its beak this most secret ef sicrets has remained a puzzle to everybody lexcept myself and two other men) up to the present day. It seems to me. that the time his at length come when the long desired revelation may be made without indis cretion. Originally there were four per sons more or less concerned In the mys tery, though only three of them. If'so many, were In full possession of the se cret. Of these four, two are dead: an other has entirely disappeared: and I, Kie fourrh actor In the drama, have made up my mind to relate the circum stances of this extraordinary affair. However, even now I propose to pro ceed cautiously, and not to define too clearly either the individuals con cerned, or the countries represented. t should mention ait the outset for It Is to this circumstance that I owe my connection with the mystery that I was at one time myself in the di plomacy, as an unpaid attache. Whilst Chloroform. acting In thl3 capacity, at foreign court, I had the good fortune to be able to render a great survlce to one of the ministers of state a man of Eu ropean reputation. He was more prateful than diplomatists are general ly supposed to be, and honored me ever afterwards with his affectionate re gard. As I write I have on my finger a magniflcient emerald he left to me when he died. It was owing- to my In timacy, with him, that I came to be niixtd up with the affair of the treaty. I will call him Prince Schatzenberg. A't the time the congress assembled, I chanced to be staying at the capital. Where they were to hold their sittings. I was net alone; an English friend named Oresham was -with me. He was one of those Kngliuhmcn who wander fibouit without any very definite aim In life, but with plenty of money In the pocket, and who. suffering at times a little from the ennui of Idleness, are generally r.ady to take up with any Sew tad to diversify the routine of their xlstenre. In my friend's case the lat ent of these lads was Oraphulogy, which he professed to have brought to a great pHeh of perfection. This was a science In whlsh at that time I hardly l.i-Ileved at all, but circumstances af terwards ltd me to think that In the tiahd of fin acute and original observer it might, be turned to good account. The day before the congress was to commence Its sittings the diplomatists fathered together from every part of Kurope. ' In all, even powers were rep resented. Amongst the plenlpotentarles was rTlnce Schatzenberg, on whom I made a point of calling without delay. The prince was staying at the Rchwclserhof, and directly I sent up my card I was ndmltted to his presence, i found him 'lying on a couch, and look ing older and frailer than when I had Keen him last. Hut his manner was as charming -as ever, and I could enter tain no doubt that he was really glad to see me. He excused himself from Betting up, but put out his delicate hand and grasped mine with a gentle, but effectlonate pressure. I noticed It was the left hand that he gave me. "So glad to see you again, mon cher." lie said. "Excuse my left hand; the right 4a crippled with the gout. I gave ordurs that no one was to be admitted, but of course that was not meant to Metro the great Ma Sinn riTTRfl t IOP?

I "I have been longing to see you. prince." I answered. "It Is some time now since v met. ltut I am afraid you are not quite so well as 1 should like to see you." "Well, no, I am not so young ns I was. and the long Journey has knocked me out. Lies Ides, I am tormented with my old enemy, neuralgia In the face. There, take that fatenll. You won't mind my tlnlhlnr a letter I know, and then I can release my amanuensis." I had noticed the amanuensis as I entered tho room, and it had puzzled me to K tine his exact position socially. He was a young man almut :iii, as I Judged neatly and quietly dressed, but he did not seem to be quite what we In Kngland call a gentleman. This sur prised me, as the prince's soerttarles were generally men of aristocratic birth. 1 noticed also, that when the prince resumed the dictation which my entrance had Interrupted, the amanu ensis bent his head very close to the paper as If he were short-sighted. It did not take long to finish the let ter. When it was done the prince said: , "Thank you, Maubeiive: I need not keep you any longer; I shall not want you again before pi." The young man got tip. bowed to the prince and to 'me, and left the room with a nclseloss step. "My new factotum." siild the prince, when the door had closed Ik hind him, "and a perfect treasure." "1 thought I did not remember him." I said. '.o: 1 had I'Vane-is when you wer with me last, but Francois was a Caul of the Hauls. He was always sighing for his beloved France, und finding ev ery ether country triste in compari son. So at last 1 had to lot him return home. When he went I though I would get u valet who could do a little writ ing for me sonictlm.'s. Francois was no good at that. Assis sous and a six sous were the same to him ns far as spelling went. Of course, one h-is one's secretaires, but only at stated hours. Htsidts. theie nre letters It Is not necessary that secretaries should see. And I a:n now quite una'hle to write a line myself, owing to this gout In my hand. S I lind Maubeuae very useful, not so pood a valet as Francois, but far superior In other ways. And with no home-s'ckm ss. Me Is a Belgian, not a Frenchman. And he Is really well edu cated, to that, altogether, he suits me admirably. Hut what am I thinking of. to chatter In this way. Instead of asking you about yourself? No need to Inquire after your health your looks are sufllelent. But how have you been getting on? Tell me all about yourself." There was not much to ell. The prince knew already that my father was dead, and that I had succeeded to the family estates. Nor did I wish t prolong the conversation, for I could s e that the prince nettled rest. So af ter a few minutes more I rose to go. "Well." he said. "I will not try 'to de tain you now. for we shall have. I hope, many opportunities of meeting. You must come and see me whenever yo-u can. Au plalslr. And now for a nap." As he spok he took up a white silk handkerchief that lay beside him on the couch, shook it out, and poured over It some liquid from a bottle on the table. As he did so the smell of chloroform diffused Itself through the room. "I can get no sleep without It." stild the prince, catching my look. "Don't be alarmed. It Is not a habit; It Is only a temporary resource whilst the neuralgia troubles me." II. Where the carcass is, there will the vultures be gathered together; and wherever dlsplnmatists assemble for a special purpose, there you will assured lyw find a crowd of special correspond ents alS'j. This was conspicuously the case on the occasion of which I am writing. Kvery gnat newspaper In Kurope had sent a representative to watch the proceedings of the congress. Of course the watching had to be done from the oixslile, and very tedious and disappointing work It was. The plen ipotentiaries were even more cautious and reticent 'than usual: they dropped none of those little crumbs of informa tion on unlnijKjruant topics which keep lae special correspondent from abso lute starvation. They were watched as they wef.i: in to the sittings, and watched as they come out; but the keenest Mrutlny was unavailing; an elusive fCmlle baffled ail observers. I'rc-mlnent among these special cor rf v-pon l "ret s was a man- of Kuropmn reputation. He represented a famous K'.ngllsh journal, but whether he him self was an Knglishman no one knew. He was plraviH to call himself !. flrand. but U does not follow that this was his teat ram; hcimay ha"ve adopt ed It foT the take of ihe Idea that 1t embodied. It was said that ho was a native f Che Channel Islands; his French was. however, the purest Paris ian. But, then, he spoke with equal purity Knslicih, Oerman, and I daresay various other languagps In which I wns less able o Judge of his proficiency. Never was there a man more thorough ly cosmopolitan, nnd never was there a corresjHindent who exhibited greater enterprise and audacity In securing tid bits of early Information for the paper he represented. He was personally ac quainted with every prominent states man In Kurope, and had been admitted to confidential interviews with many monarchs. -On one occasion he had traveled tefe-a-tete with a king across France, and, on another, he had forced his advice upori the most masterful of continental statesmen. When he chose, he could dtcaroe his brerast with nn array of orders sufficiently numerous and -distinguished to excite the envy of many a diplomatist. F hysleally he w an Immense man, but his appearance was not distin guished. His .broad, fat face was clean-shaven, iperhaps to favor the Ha that he was an Knglishman. The features, taken as a whole, w?re rotn memplace; the cys timall and cunning; the mouth w ide;. the upper lip stiff and strenuous; the chin d-terml.ned; the nose long and flexible, a became such a seeker after news. The tiead was massive, and suggested great Intellec tual capacity. Ills manners were charming, when he chose, but It be longed to ithe cosmopolitanism of bi-s nature that they should be capable of great variation, lie could at times be posltiveJy naughty. As a ccns-iiuence of hl great stature, he had acquired the habit of looking down upon those wktfh whom he conversed, and this physical 'fliacesslty seemed to have en gendered corresiondlng moral attitude, for tic affected to despise everybody, even crowned heads. His vanity was indeed egreg-loua, and 'this falling went far eometlmts toward neutralizing the effect f hp exiranrdinary sagacity and eiKeiTirl?, for, when he had achieved seme great success. It wai difficult for him to te'fialn from boast ing of It prematurely. On the present occasion he appeared on th-e scene In hla usual consequent liel way. He went about raying the only po!mt of real vnntorla.m-e -to be dealt wWJi by tihe; 'cunctrtua was hr.w the va rlouu claims for cimperaiation and In- demnMlc-atMi weu to tj settled, and he boldly announced his Intention to publish these provlsionsof the treaty tuasoon as the details should be settled. Of course -this was mere brag; but if there was a man In Kurope who could translate an Idle boast Into an actual performance, l.e ftrand was the man. For seven days the congress xn tlnued in its sittings whilst the world outside waited In vain for amy tndlca tinii of the course whloh Its proceedings wore taking. On the evening o " eighth div f -oiOvo' 1'ilnce Schatzenberg asking me to go -to him as soon as 1 possibly could. I we'Ilt at om-e. Hlid loll. r I had found him n every urevloua occa sion, reclining on a couch, nnd looking as If he were In great anxiety. "I am afraid you are m:t so well, prince." 1 said. "The neuralgia still troubles me. but It Is not that. I have been greatly worried. This business of the treaty has harassed me beyond measure. It has been on my mind night and day, and would have kept me awake without the aieuralglu. Hut yesterday I re-ally thought that we had at lust got Into siniHth water. And now would you believe It? 1 greatly fear that all our labor bus been In vain:' "In vain!" I exclaimed, "how can that be?" "You may well ask. I cannot Imag ine how It has happened, but It Is a most serious business, especially for UK rorrcspnndents. me. You know I.e Crand. Well, he has just he-en here. I'did not like to re fuse to see him. One must keep on giKid terms with men like that. Ho e-ame to nsk me If lie could be of any u e t me, and n minded me how I had once availed myself of his services. Of course, no one knows better than you, mon cher, the value eif a ballon-d'essa.l. It is sometimes very elesliable to ascer tain the drift of, public opinion before one commits oneself to a definite course. But this Is not the case now. Absolute secrecy Is our only chance of accomplishing eur aim. There are cer tain piovlsions which, of they nre di vulged prematurely would no doubt stir up -an amount of opposition which would render It 'impossible to persist in them. But If they ure not made known until the treaty Is actually signed and sealed, though, no doubt, there will be some grumbling, yet they will be al lowed to stand. "Wi 11. now, Ie flrand, who Is always a dangerous man, has managed to ex cite the most uncomfortable suspicions In my mind. When he rose to take leave of 'me he said: " 'I must thank you, prince, for your courtesy In receiving me, and am only, sorry Iftat you do nut need my services not even with respect to the provi sions of the thirteenth clause." "I pretended not to have heard ths last words and kept my countenance until he had lert the room. But In real ity I wis astounded and annoyed be yond measure." "1 think I can guess why." I said. "Of course you tee at once what It means. It is a fact that the clause which treats of the Indemnifications, and which has given us almost all enir trouble. Is the thirteenth clause. Now, how could I.e flr-jiid possibly have dis covered this fact?" "It Is indeed serious," I said, "for It could not have been a mere guess." "Oh, no; that Is Impossible. And his air of triumph, and t'he significant em phasis which he laid upon the words were quite enough to convince me that he had same definite Information. Hut if he knows this, he probably knows a good deal more. And should he pub lish his information, as of course he will, all our effoits will have been in vain. It is really a fatal business. That man must be the devil.' ' , (To be continued.) SEWS OF Ot lt IXUISTKIES. Happenings of Interest to the " Stapcl Trades and Particularly to the Trade in Iron. Steel anj Anthracite Coal. The New Yerk Kquipment company has awarded a e-ontract to the Itatnupo lion works for building ten box and forty fkut cars for Ihe Jamaica rail way. Alloonn, Pa., Sept. 29. The sheriff of Center county will sell the Altoona and I'hllllpHbiirg connecting railroad on Wednesday. This road 4s now in oper ation between I'liilllpHburg. Center county, and Barney, Clearfield county. The stock consists of three engines, seven passenger cars,- fifty freight cars and three baggage Curs. The road wns destined to be a part of the Beech Creek Bystem when completed. Bellefonte. Pa.. Sept. 2. Bellefonte Is reaping material benefit from the general revival of business. The Val entine Iron company, one of the leading manufactures In this locality, employ about 400 men at their furnaces, rolling mill and mines, nnd pay out monthly about $15,000. Where last yenr these works were run only seven months, this year they hnve been run on full time, with the rolling mill running (lay and night, and all away behind In their or ders. This company has recently ad vanced the wages of all Its employes 12 per cent. The superintendent of this company is '.I. W. (Vphnrt, recently law partner of (tt-nerhl Heaver, nnd who Is also Hiiiierlntendent of the Central Uallrond of Pennsylvania. "The Iron trade has t-truck an advance to stay. It wns at Its lowest ebb when the many new changes caused a suddenly In creased demand for Iron. The railroads replacing bridges wllh plate girder ft runt urn I iron to withstand the weight of heavier trains and cars of larger ca pacity; the replacing of wornnut rails; the building of new nnd larger carH to replace the slock that has been al lowed to run down In the past years: the building of so many electric rail ways as well as the erection of so many buildings with structural Iron all over the world, something thnt Is an entirely new factor In the Iron market, are Eonie of the most Important reasons why the Iron Industry will be kept up for an Indefinite number of years, and that at good prlc';;s, too. Over 200.000 cars will be needed by the railroads In the next two years. One of the latest experiments which slunvs the way the Eti aws blow Is thait of a Herman Iron manufacturer, who received a consign ment of ore from Iike Champlaln,' N. Y. Counter experiments were mnde with that and (he European ore he had been uplng, and It was found that the Amerlcun ore could lie manufactured Into Iron nearly DO cents olieaper than the domestic ore; even after deducting all charges for the trans-portatllon to this eouKry. And now It !s freely pro phesied that In a few years tf'iuropn will come to America for her supply of pig Iron." Mr. Oephart further said "thnt If all the furnaces In the country would shut down for only eight days, there would not boa pound of pig Iron In Ihe country for manufacture, which Is a good criterion of .the small slock In the iunU"Und great demand of the nti'-nd great den vr."?''-t,-: 1 THE WORLD OF BUSINESS STOCKS AXD C0XD8.
