deliberative body, free from a single in

delegations are generally uninstrocted
and no man has anything like a majority
pledged to him. There is no boss like
him of the White House, or his deputy
of Krie, to command what shall be done.
The convention will be a serious deliler
ative body, looking for the best men to
carry out the wishes of the oplc ; to
preserve the system of protection to
American industry, first of all, and to- re
store the grand system of government
under which the Retmblican party pre
served the Cnion and gave it a strength
and glory that made ever)- patriot proud
er than ever. We have full contidence
that this patriotic pride will inspire the
convention to make a ticket that will
represent it and that can be and will be
elected.

Carnegie and Blaine.
Loxixnt, June 17. Mr. Carnegie was in
terviewed at York to-day. He said Mr. (
P.laine could lie President any day if he
liked. Mr. Carncpie repudiated Mr. Cham
berlain's assertion that Americans did not tt- '
vor Mr. Gladstone's Irish policy amlexpress
ed suq.riw that Sir William Vernon liar
court or Mr. Xlorley hail not chalenged Mr.
Chamberlain in the houne of commons to
name two prominent Americans who did
nol favor that Klky. Americans, said Mr.
Caniegie, were not disKed to deal with
lxrd Salbburj', w ho had been a bitter enemy
uf tlie republic when it was combatting sla
very. He declared that the fisheries treaty
would never be ratified.
The last week has lieen one of unmixed
pleasure to each and every mcmlier of the
arty. and now that the journey is almost
half finished regret is expressed on every
side that Cluny Castle is drawini; so near
that reat Itritain is such a small place alter
all. Since leaving Grantham on Tuesday
we I.ave paswd through one of the loveliest
landscape countries in the world. A broad,
smooth and oak-shaded chnusee. the great
North road hedged to the right and the left
with green hede-rows, with here and there
a clump of bushes glistening white with the
beautiful May bloom blossoms, with now a
field of naming poppies and now a lawny
sea of buttercups and dandelions and back
ground only in assing through England in
this way, conversing with close and strepson
at every fence comer can one obtain some
inkling of the sharply-drawn facial dilTereu
ces between natives of the shires. Blaine is
still very reticent about the movement
which, as American cablegrams indicate,
has in view his nomination. While no woid
to that effect has come from Mr. Blaine, or
even from Mr. Caniegie, I have not the
slightest doubt that if nominated Mr, Blaine
would accept.
It Wit be a Shut Down.
Pirrsnt Bti. Pa., June 17. The most im
portant resolution that has yet come before
the Amalgamated Association Convention
was adopted at yesterday's session. It is if
the manufacturers firmly beleive that the de
pressed condition of the iron business does
not ermit the signing of the Amalgamated
Association scales as presented, it is to the
best interest ol both employer and employe
lo agree to a three mouths' shut down. The
resolution was adopted witltout a dissenting
vote. It was exected that the matter would
be laid before the man u tact urers at the con
ference to-day, but it was held over until
next week.
A three months' shut down would mean
a cessation of business such as has not lieen
exerienecd in years in Pittsburg and the
West. It would mean the temiiorary throw
ing out of employment ol H.mai Amalgama
ted men and thousands of others, indirectly,
at the blast furnaces in Tittsburg and the
Shenango and Mahoning valleys. There
would be a big decrease in freight traflic, as
there would be a falling otf in the shipments
of ore. limestone, pig iron and the finished
products of the mills.
It would also mean an entire suspension
of work in the Councllsvile region and the
throwing out of employment of s.ooo men
there alone.
When it b aked out to-day that a three
months' shut down wxs talked of on account
of the depressed condition of business the
Mills bill was assailed everywhere in the
city. It was argued tliat the lcmocratic
party throughout the country would lose
thousands of votes when a practical proof
was furnished as the mult of the policy of
the ( 'levelaud adiuiuitratiou. Congressman
Balu-U sai.L when told of the threatened
shut down : " It is no worae than could lie
rxiweted. It would mean the legitimate re
sult of tlie Mills bill. The depressed condi
tion of the business is due lo that bill.
More Cruisers for the Navy.
Wahisv.tox. June 1(1. The naval appro
priation bill will be reported to the House in
a few days. It contains an appropriation for
two Mod cruisers of 3.0 W tons each, to cost
not over K1.3u.0mu each, to run nineteen
knots per hour; one steel cruisers of S.3UU
tons, to run twenty knots per hour, to cost
l,iy3.0i, and one armored cruiser, '.')
tons, to cost not over $3,50o.00i). In the geu
eral appropriations 25.X)0 is provided for
the League Island Navy Yard.
A Plague of Locusts.
Chiovki. June 14. Oispatches from points
in Northern Iowa and Western Illinois re
port the apivarance of swarms of seventeen
year locusts. Professor Riley, I'nitrd Plates
Kntoroologist, w ho is at present in Chicago,
when asked about the locusts said tliat a
well kuown brood occurs this year, and this
periodical visitor may be looked for in wood
ed portions of Illinois and Iowa. In reply
to a question as to whether the grasshoppers
are to be destructive this year, the Professor
could not express a positive opinion. One
thing be felt sure of, however, that they will
never do as much injury as they did be
tween the yean 1373 and 1377.
CATHERINO OF THE CLANS AT

Delegates all at Sea An estimate of

Cbicaoo, June 16. Itelcgates and friends
of tlie various candidates are straggling in
l'rora almost every section of the country.
The activity around tlie liotels aflbrus evi
dence that excitement will reach a high pitch
before many hours. . The supporters of Gen.
Alger are pouring in hosvily, as are the
friends of Harrison, and there is more activ
ity about the Michigan and Indiana head
quarters than at any of the others. The
Harrison men are highly indignant at a re
port irtiblisiied this morning to the eneet
that a truce had been declared between their
f nt and Uiuse of tiresham by virtue of
w'i h each would retrain from altc iing tlie
other and tlie Harrison iapiort would go lo

names will be presented to the Republican
Convention gives Sherman ITS), (iresliarq 230.

As thete will be a total vote of M2,4!7 will
be necessary for a choice. This estimate

If the balloting becomes protracted, it is
generally predicted that there will be a
stampede for Blaine and this is now being
ftared by many of the boomers.
rESSTLVA!!A's COXTI MUEXT.
Cbicaoo. June 17. Pennsylvania people
are coming in on every train from the East,
and camping down in the first eligible tavern
tliat offers. Failing taverns they look up
boarding houses, and they are to be found
from !.ako Michigan to the Mississippi river.
Some of those who got in on the low rates of
car fare find that the boarding house and
hotel keepers are squeezing things for tlie
railroads. " Lodging is scarce and high, and
eating is only middling," was the summary
of a Westmoreland visitor this evening. He
told the whole story.
tC AV AXIt THE HTI.KB BoOMI.ET.
The veterans magnet, Col. yuay, has lit
his lowers of attraction and the Pennsylva
nia delegation will do a vote as you please
business iu the convention this week. The
Colonel himself is for Sherman, but owing to
some obligation lo Philadelphia he will bo
compiled to follow the Filler fiasco, and
vote for the opposition until it peters out.
He endeavored to hold General Hastings and
one or two other of his convention relation
to the Fitter Usini, but the Kellefonte war
rior pulled out the Sherman steech and told
Mr, Quay that he must speak it, Filler or no
Filler.
The vote for the Philadelphia Mayor will
not have a duplicate outside of his city peo
ple, and even they are not sure. Charles
Kmory Smith is the real father of the Filler
embarrassment. He adroitly saddled the
paternity on the back of Senator Quay, who,
much against his will and with many a wry
face assumed it, and tried to induce Chairman
Cooper, the jsilitical orphan of Delaware, to
share the honor, but that gcutleman said:
" I am the solitary lilaineite left in the
Pennsylvania delegation, and sliall do notb
for anybody till James G. no longer lives."
Thus the Fitter scheme remains under the
sole management and proprietorship of Col.
Quay.
ohimck's faith is m.wxe.
Chairman Cooiier sits all day in the Penn
sylvania headquarter in the Hotel Tremont
and avers bis believe in the final nomination
of P.laine. When the California delegation
apeared with all the fruits and trophies of
the field that the spies of Joshua reported
and all labeled, "IJIaine,"' they heard of
Cooper, and, marching up to his room, fed
him grapes, ami peaches, and prunes, and
melons and choice fruits, and he gave them
consolation. He said to-night : " Nothing
but a miracle will prevent that nomination.
I have stuck to it for years, and 1 feel that I
am the son of a prophet."
A OLAXCE AT THE FIELD.
The situation is still at sea and there is no
pronounced current setting toward anybody
lo-duy. Fully one-third of the delegates do
not know w hom they will vote for them
selves after the first complimentary ballot
and it is idle guessing to name a favorite un
der such circumstance. So far as anybody
has gained to-day it has been Harrison. The
ireham boom, which was especially antag
onistic to Harrison, has been slowly dying
out. It has Ix'en badly mismanaged. The
4!nnham people assailed every other candi
date and have nr.t with the usual lin k of
people who go hunting eggs w ith a club in
stead of a basket.
The New York wople have come here di
vided and thus thrown away the great influ
ence they might have had on the convention.
This, of course, promotes Indiana to the
front, Indiana being the second in import
ance of doubtful States.
The Alger boom has not shown any
growth. It could not well do so, for it is de
pending on second choice votes, which it
would be bad lulitics to uncover in advance.
The Sherman people are satisfied with the
steady concentration of their strength ; they
have made no unexpected gains to-day, but
they have not discovered any of the defec
tions which were predicted.
Iepew is out of it, as he always has been,
and Allison is no more a likelihood than he
was six months ago.
If I had to risk money on a guess to-night
I would take Harrison and Morton as first
choice and Alger and Phelps second. There
is a great deal of cheering for Illaine, and
bets arc oftcred at even money that he will
be the nominee. The money is not offered in
large sums, however, and the cheering does
not come from the lips of delegates. The
Pacific Coast delegates, who al ways come to
a National Convention full of Illuine enthu
siasm and native wine, arc foremost in what
many ex.ect to see materialize into a deter
mined eil'ort to nominate ISIaine. The con
servative sense of the convention is un
uoulitedly against nominating lilaine, and
the threat of his candidacy which now conies
from the rurlistones and corridors may
frighten them into taking the shortest cut
out of danger by throwing their votes at an
early Mage lo the leading candidate rather
than to risk being stampeded in an attempt
to concentrate on a dark horse.
The boom for Mayor Fitter, of Philadel
phia, is being butchered beside its own
hearthstone. Sam Losch and Jack White
house, of Schuylkill, are canvassing among
the Pittsburg delegates to-night for the bur
gess of I'ottsville, and are meeting w ith the
response that if complimentary votes for
Pennsylvania municipal omcersaretobe the
rule, Pittsburg will rally around the name of
MeCallin.
CKFXIHX AKD AM.ISOS.
There was even less stir in tlie Greshara
rooms to-day than at any of the other head
quarters. To-morrow moming there will be
a meeting of tlie leading friends of the candi
date, and final arragementa will be effected
for protecting hit interests in the convention
Judge Gresbam will be placed in nomination
by Hon, Ieonard f weet.
The heahiiarters of the Allison move
ment were changi-d lo-day from a parlor lo
the spacious club room of the Grand Pacific.
The interior had been elaborately decorated
with evergreens, burning and flowers, while
outside the door an immense Iransjnrency,
firmed by innumerable jets of electric light,
bullied theoMTMiur in a mellow splendor.
Senator Allison's friends expressed great
confidence in his roi'U. and claimed that
lie was gaining eutMiderabla ground. Dis
patcher received during the day said delega
tions from Keokuk, Ies Moines, Dubuque,
Burlington, Davenjiort and other points, to
a total of 1..V0, would arrive here in the
morning.
now Sllilaol STAXos.
Attorney General Michfner, of Indiana,
has direct charge of the Harrison boom. lis
says that reports show that th ex-Xunator is
gaining strength every hour. UedWnot ex
pect his full support w ill develop on tlie first
ballot, but says that on the second he will
secure individual delegates from many states
who will constitute a nucleus for the consol
idation of his forces. The Harrison men
seem to night to be more confident than ev
er, and it is noticeable that there has been
no renewal of the talk concerning bis name
figuring at the tall of the ticket.
The Ohio delegates did very little mission
ary work to-day, but to-night their rooms
are crowded. Kxtensive currency was given
to their raraor that 24 members of the dele
gation Jiad finally made up their minds to
kick out of the traces on third ballot, but
the denial given to the story by tlie Sena
tor's managers was pointed and emphatic.
There was considerable jubilation over the
reeeiit from a responsible source of advioes
that the bulk of the Pennsylvania delega
tion, if not its entire vote, would go lo the
Obioan after the Fitler boom was decently
interred on the first ballot. C. L. Magee, of
Pittsburg, for one, will vole for Sherman on
tlie first ballot, and it is more than likely
lhat lie will have compnny from the interior
of the State. The status of the Southern
vole is somewhat wrplexiiig the lhioco
pih, but they say that by to-morrow night
they will have corral ed the bulk of the vot
ing strength from that section.
STILL snot-nxo roa slaise.
Whether the Califbrnians will rfit in
nominating and supporting Illaine is still
the question of the hour. They say they
will and have brought ' into existence a
Northwestern Blaine Association for the
purpose of giving the boom the advantage of
organization. The managets of the other
iioonu are hoping that California people will
listen to wiser counsels before next Weihies
day. and make up their minds to let the
Maine man alone. That they will do this,
however, is extremely doulftful.
A dispatch was received at the Lelaud to
night raying that 2.O.0 Blaine shouters from
various points in Kan. would come to-night
on special trains and that every man would
take a flag with the inscription " Blaine by
Acclamation." Blaine rontigents are b1m
expected from other jwints, and altogether
there will be plenty of outward demonstra
tions to encourage the Californians to perse
vere with their plans. In the event ofa third
communication being received from Mr.
Blaine, or any other circumstances compell
ing a change of base their support will go to
Dcpew, if he is really in the race. If he is
out of it, Alger can depend upon three-fifths
of the delegations, while Gresiiam w ill get
the balance.
Clin '.ton, June IS. The incident of the
day, apart from the noise of the brass bands
ami the yells of arriving club) from Indiana
and Ohio, has been the declaration of the
Denew men that they are in the light to w in.
If the delegates believed them it would still
be more significant. Mr. lie pew probably
thinks ne can be nominated, but the major
ity of his delegation do not, and a large mi
nority of them would be sorry if he were.
He will enjoy the unique position of be
ing a candidate and at the same time chair
man of the largest delegation, and that del
egation from a doubtful State.
IIKI'KW'S UBEAT ISFLt'EXCE.
That this will give him a position of com
manding influence in the convention need
not be told. It, for instance, after holding
his vote aud standing well toward the top
of the field for a number of ballots, he
should rise in the convention and throw his
strength to lilaine it would let loose all the
Blaine men who are lying around under
cover aud end the struggle at once. If he
should throw his vote at a critical time to
some other candidate, t'icy could lie much
more potential than if he gave them at first.
ALL THE CASiPIIlVTEj IilSTI RUED.
The effect of his going into the fight has dis
turbed the calculations of several of the can
didates. The Harrison and Phelps men par
ticularly are put out. New Jersey inclines to
Harrison after Phelps and Alger after Harri
son, but will go to Sherman if Dcpew shows
dangerous strength. Tile Decw candidacy
is really more directly advantageous to
Sherman than to anybody else, and that is
why the Harrison men are disturbed over it.
There are a great many Allison and Gresii
am people who are very much afraid of D."
pews nomination, and if he should begin t o
git her strength on the second or third bal
lot, these granger votes are likely to take
fright and jump to Sherman as the shortest
way out.
ItLAIXE OB H ABUISOS.
Apart from the Depew candidacy, the drift
to-day has been rather toward Harrison
but there has been more of an endeavoring
to get under cover than to do anything else.
Tlie Iepew candidacy is driving the granger
votes into closer communication w ith each
oilier, and the temporary and artificial alli
ances thus made will probably ost;onc the
time when the approaching result will re
veal itself. This of course increases the
chances of Blaine's nomination,, which is
always in sight. Blaine or Harrison, or
Blaine and Harrison looks like a good gties
to-night.
The Carfield Double Wedding.
Mentor, Ohio., June 14. The marriage of
Miss Mollie Garfield to J. Stanley Brown,
and that of Miss Belle Mxson, of Cleveland,
to Harry Garfield, oldest sou of the dead
President, took place this evening, at the
home of the family. The ceremony was per
formed in the Garfield memorial room by
Rev. W. V. W. Davis, of Worcester, Mass.,
the former twstor of the Euclid Avenue
Presbyterian Church, of Cleveland. Both
the brides were members of his congregation
during his pastorate in Cleveland. An elab
orate bower of roses and smilax had been ar
ranged in the east window of the room in
which the ceremony was to take place. The
decorations throughout the house consisted
of evergreen wreaths, smilax, Marcchal Neil
roses and daisies and otied plants and
ferns. A special train conveyed the guests
from Cleveland and a city caterer provided
the refreshments.- The greatest secrecy w as
observed in details of the wedding, reMirtcrs
being absolutely refused any information.
At 5:30 P. M. the orchestra struck up Men
delssohn's wedding march, and Mrs. Garfield
and Mrs. Mason, follow ed by near members
of the family, entered the nxim. Following
them were Harry Garfield and his bride.
The former was attended by James It. Gar

THE KING IS DEAD.
Emperor Frederick Closes His Brief
Reign.
Potsdam, June !". At'll o'clock this
morning Emperor Frederick died, surround-"
by his family.
An hour after midnight the Empress dis
missed the members of tlie imperial feniily
lo their apartments, and prepared herself to
pass the night watching in a room adjoining
the sick chamber. Dr. Hovell shared in the
vigil. At this time the Emjieror was in the
full possession of his faculties. Shortly after
1 o'clock he wrote on a piece of paper the
following questions, which he landed to Dr.
Hovell: "How is my pulse r" "Are you
satisfied with it?" He then wrote some
thing more, but he retaiucd the piece of -per
in his ltands after erasing the words. Be
tween 1 and 3 o'clock his breathing liecarae
terribly labored, and some moments of
struggle would occur, alternating with
spasms aud great distress as the hard fight
with approaching death progressed. By this
the strength of the dying Emperor was seen
to be waning. As soon as it became evident
that the end was near, the Empress caused
the royal family to be summoned. At &
o'clock all gathered around the bedside. Dr.
K.iegel, Court Chaplain, who had been sum
moned by telegram from Ems, did not arrive
in time to administer the last sacrament
Dr. Persius, therefore, officiated in this cere
mony. Pastor Rogge was also present in the
death chamber.
CON IOCS TO THE LAST.
During the administering of the sacra
ment, and indeed even to within 13 minutes
before his death, the Emperor apjsatred to be
quite conscious. He showed by the expres
sion of his eyes, and by the movements of
his eyeli.U, that he still recognized all who
approached the bedside, relatives and others.
A number of officials who had been sum
moned early in the moming, reached the
palace before death had taken place. Among
those present at the time the Emperor died
were Count von Stolberg-Wemigerode, Gen
eral von Albedyll. Count Enlenberg, General
Buuch, Count Radolin-Radolinski, General
Par and General Ijndequist. Prince Bis
marck did not go to Potsdam from Berlin
until after the meeting of the Ministerial
Council, where he formally announced the
decease of the F.niicror.
The Emperor's remains will probably lie
in state in the garrison church at Potsdam.
By onler of the Evangelical Church Council
the bells will be tolled at siecified hours for
14 days succeeding in all the Protestant
churches of the kingdom.
The Berlin licichnmieujef publishes a tele
gram from Baden stating that the dowager
Empress Augusta, to whom the news of the
dangerous turn which the Emperor's malady
had taken had been carefully broken, imme
diately expressed a wish to return to Berlin.
Her physicians, however, would not permit
her to undertake the journey, her strength
having been so overtaxed by recent events
as to render her unable to stand the fatigue
of the trip. She may return during the
week.
THE OLD AXD THE NEW.
The Berlin pars are full of expressions
of grief at Emperor Frederick's death. The
Xorlh Hcrnum tjajrite says : " He was a true
Jloheiizollcrn. He leaves behind him in tlie
reiiieiiiberaucc of the hearts of his coienipo
raries and as a heritage to future generations
the memory ofa Prince whom the perfected
virtues of noble manhood were as a crown of
Klory about his head, illuminating his whole
being."
Another article in the Xorlh (irrmnn Ga
zrltr, referring to the new Emj eror William
if, says: A precious possession of the house
of Hohenzollern, handed down from father
to son throughout many generations, namely,
earnest feeling of duty and strictness in the
performance of their high functions, has
lieen present with the new Enicror in all
bis surroundings, indicating to him his path
through life. He passed the years of his
youthful education in rigorous work, and
thus prc)ared himself for the exalted and
difficult duties of his princely office."
Herr von Werner sketched the Emperor's
features after death. Hussars occupy the
road from Kriedrichskron Castle to San Sonci.
In the interior of the castle the Behr Battal
ion mounts guard tinder command of Major
Natzner.
HIS EES-TIXO fUC E TOOSIX.
Before his death. Emperor Frederick gave
directions that his remains should be inter
red in the garrison church, at Potsdam.
The Bumlesmth met at Berlin at noon.
Prince Bismarck formally announced the
death of Enijieior Frederick and the acces
sion to the throne of William, who takes the
title of William II. The Berlin Municipal
( 'ouncil received noticeof the Emjierore death
through Herr von Forkenbeck, Mayor of
Berlin, while they were in session. They
immediately adjourned to meet in a special
session Ibis evening. The Bells in Berlin
lx-Tan tolling at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Mourning is displayed on many houses. In
a number of shop windows busts of the Em
peror, veiled ill crape have been plared.
5:'M P. xi. Prince Bismarck and all the
members of the Ministry, the aides-de-camp
and officers on duty in the palace have been
admitted to the room in which the remains
lie. The servants of the household and the
soldiers of the I.chr Battallion were after
ward allowed to enter, and they paid the
last tribute of respect lo their master. The
Empress, overwhelmed with grief, has with
drawn to her apartments and is seen by no
one. It is now stated that the remains will
lie interred within thcFriedetiskirche, beside
those of Frederick IV. The official attesta
tion of death and the cause of death was
made this afternoon. The will of the de
ceased, deosited in the archives of the Min
ister of the Household, will be duly opened
in the presents of the Minister of Justice.
The issue of the proclamation of William II.
to the nation is not expected until after the
funeral.
The body rt scs on the iron bed in which
the Eineror expired' The body is envel-ojx-d
in a white shroud. Only the upper half j
of the face is visible. On the breast lies a j
wreath of lanrf l. The hands are joined and
rest on the hilt ofa cavalry sabre. At the
foot of the bed stands a table covered with
flowers. The features wear an extremely
eaceful expression.
Dr. Mackenzie informed the Empress on
Wednesday that he had abandoned all hbe
of a further prolongation of life.
Official notification of the accession of
William II. has already been sent to all the
representatives of Germany abroad. The oath
of allegiance of the Iroojis will be adminis
tered to-morrow.
The arrangements for having the body lie
in stale are progressing. Since C o'clock no
one has been allowed to view the remains.
EMPEROB FHUMltil ti'H CABEEB.
Emperor Frederick was born October If.
lrl. Entering the army at an early age, he
was promoted prior to l.vj to the rank of
General, and was given command of three
army corps sent against tlie Austrians. His
military career was a brilliant one. His ar
rival saved the army at Koeniggratz. The
battle began at 8 o'clock in the morning,
Kinx, Moltke and Bismarck being on the
field. The needle-gun worked terrible havoc
among the devoted battalions of Austria, but
they kept their ground.and for a long time the
scales of victory hung pretty evenly. For a
time it seemed indeed, as iftbe victory would
rest on the standards of the Hapsburgs, and
the Prussians looked for the coming of the
Crown Prince as eagerly as Wellington had
once looked for the coming of Blucher.
" Would to God the Crown Prince would
come!" Suddenly Bismarck lowered, his
glasses and drew- attention to certain lines
in the distance. AH telescopes were pointed
thither. At first the lines were pronounced
to be furrows. ' They are not furrows," said
Birmarck, " the spaces are not equal; they
are advancing lines." It was the Crown
Prince's army, that has been delayed by the
condition of the roads, which the rains had
made all but impassable. Only twenty-five
mile, but in took the army nine hours to do
the distance, and the Crown Prince lost 2j
per cent, of his men through exhaustion by
the way. ' The Crown Prince lost not a mo
ment in getting his forces into action. Vio
lently assaulted on both flanks fiercely press
ed in the centre, the Austrians began to
slacken their fire, to give way, and then to
retreat. The battle was won, and,th honors
of having decided it weretheCfOwn Prince's.
Bismarck hitu-if admits bow crilwiil was
the situation of the Prussia:! at one jsinl of
the battle.
After the victory, late in the evening, the
Crown Prince met the King, who embraced
him alTectiooalely, and decorated him on tlie
field with Prussia's hisbest military order,
" Tour le Merite." That in-vting has be
come as historical as that of Bluclier and
Wellington..
Tnser" Fritx's part in the Franco-German
war is almost too well kuown to bear
repetition. As in the Austrian campaign,
the German forcas were divided into three
armies, nnder thecommand of General Stein
metx. Prim Frederick Charles, and llic
Crown Prince. Cndir the Crown Prince's
command were the two Bavarian army cor
and three IVussiaii mss, one division of
Baden, one of Vurteuiberg aud iwo calvary
divisions over Iwo hundred thousand men.
He had the honor of striking the first blow
by falling upon the French at Weisemburg
on August 4;h, and two days later assaulting
MacMahun at Worth and causing the Duke
de Magenta's hosts to tumble back partly
npon Slrashurg and jmrtly iiion Chalons.
The Crown Prince was given the duty of
pursuing the Duke de Magenta toward Cha
lons. With him co-oiratcd the Crown
Prince of Saxony, at the head of the Fourth
Army (of the Meuse), and between these two
armies marched the royal heailquarters. He
arrived in Sedan in time lo close up the ring
formed by the German army ou the 1st of
September, and was with the Enieror on
the hill when Baron de Iiaelh. Nucleoli's
aid-de-canip, arrived with the letter from the
Eniperor expressing his willingness to sur
.render his sword. On the following day he
assisted at the celebrated meeting with Na
poleon at the Chateau de Bellevue. From
there he pressed on to Paris, making his
headquarters at first at St. (iermain and
later at the villa " Ies Ombrages," at Ver
sailles. " I'nser Fritz," was immensely popular
with his men, and especially with tlie Bava
rians, and of this popularity many amusing
anecdotes arc told.
After the war the Crown Prince took a
prominent part in the triumphal entry of the
Bavarian troops into Munich, where he was
greeted with such immense enthusiasm that
King I.udwig was greatly offended, and ut
the banquet given in the Bathhaus the same
night failed to put in an appearance. The
young dreamer was already far off on his
way to his mountain retreat at Hohensch
wangeii. The Crown Prince was also present
at the triumphal entry of the Prussian troops
into Berlin, and sat besiile his father, sur
rounded by the brilliant group ef Princes
and Generals who watched the victorious
troops passing dotvn Filter den Linden. Dur
ing the war Prince was the favorite subject
for painters and poets, especially as he was
often seen when the was with his army at
Versailles, with his pipe in his mouth and
taking matters most philosophically.
He married in liiS Victoria Adelaide,
Princes Royal of Great Britain. Her influ
ence on the Prince, however, has been re
markable. To her must belong the credit of
making him what he has long lieen, a model
husliand and father, which was not always
the case with the Hohcnzollerus.
The early part of their married career was
not altogether happy, owing to his turn for
gallantry, but the Princess, like a sensible
woman, set to work earnestly to win a firm
hold ujion the Prince's affection and esteem,
ami she succeeded in making hini what he
now is the noblest, gentlest, and most moral
of the Hohenzoilerns. They have had cieh'
children, two of whom are dead.
The Emjieror ast-endeil the throne March
Nth under peculiarly mournful cin-timstan-ces.
He was un invalid staying at San Uemo
when his father's illness occurred, and it
seemed an o;-en question which would die
the first. He had hung precariously on the
ed of the grave ever since, now on tlie
point of falling in ; now again displaying a
rally of vital power. Meanwhile he has pre
sented a noble s)ectacle in his assiduous de
votion to public duty while getting his
breath through a tube in his throat, in con
stant danger of strangulation by the closing
of the aierture by the product of his throat
inflammation, the life kept in him only by
the unremitting efforts of his physicians.

Frederick William Albert Victor, who as
cends the throne as William II.. Knirorof
Germany, was born January 27, 1S.V.). He
was educated at Cassel and a Bonn, and
while not a particularly bright young man.
he has show n some military aptitude. I'nliKc
his father, he is a Hohenzollern of the early
Hohenzollern tyie, and he is entirely Prus
sian iu his military training ami political
views. In appearance, too, he is his father's
opposite. Though in his 3oth year, he does
not look more than !T. Afthough it is said
by his admirers that he resembles the great
Frederick, he has nothing of the stalwart
characteristics of the Hohenzoilerns. Be
sides he is deformed, his left arm being
withered since his birth, and marly useless,
a defect which he always trial to conceal.
He has been, moreover, indicted with ab
scesses in the interior of the ears. His gen.
era! apeanince is that of a young man who
has inherited constitutional troubles. In
disposition he is brusque aud often displays
an overbearing tcnip:-r.
In lsl, when he was only 22 years old,
he married the Princess Victoria, of Schleis-wig-Holstcin-Angusteiiburg,
who was born
May 3, IHiifl. Four children have lieen born
of the marriage, Prince Frederick William,
Crown Prince, born May t, Imi : Prince
Frederick. July 7, 183: Print Adalbert,
July 14, 1HS4, and Prim August William,
January, 121, 1S.S7.
Previous to his 27th birthday, when he
was made a Major General, Prince William
ranked only as Colonel of the Ziethen Hus
sars of the Guards. Previously he ranked
only as Major, and the people in general
sjKike with surprise at the slowness with
which he advanced, yet all praised the thor
oughness of his military education. He was
compelled to work like the rest of his com
rades, equally suhject to military discipline.
Early and late he was with his regiment
ordered about as an ordinary Major, salut
ing his superiors, with little or no attention
in a military way paid to his royal rank.
His haired of the English aud his unfilial
conduct to his English mother are matters of
common notoriety.

Dlkwood Wins the Suburban Handi
cap In Fast Time.
New Yobk, June If. The Siiburlian was
ran and won to-day, and, like last year, it
resulted in a surprise. Fully :r,i po.j.le
journeyed to the track of the Coney Inland
Jockey Club to witness, this race of nil races
in this country. It was the ojietiing !ay, and
this, too, swelled the crowd considerably,
for Shoepshead is the favorite track of the
Eastern public. As early as 12 o'clock crowds
commenced to go down to the sea on the
trains of the Long Island Road, and at 2:30,
when the first race was run, the grandstands,
lawn and lietting rings were packed with a
pushing, struggling, sweltering crowd of hu
manity. Barely ever before his there been
in the history of any racing track in this
country such crowtU or people. Everyone
was anxious to pick the winner of tlie Sub
urban, and it is estimated that nearly a mil
lion dollars changed hands on the result.
Book-makers naed a harvest, and were
happy. Elk wood won, the odds ranging
from 25 to 50 to 1 against him.
When the time for the starting of the great
race arrived the crowd began to grow un
easy. They waited impatieutly for the racers
to come out, and when tliey did the throng
gave vent to its (slings liy cheering. At last
the racers were at the post. Ah mnal, Con
nemara and Elkwood kicked up their heels
and delayed things for nearly half an hour.
It seemed honrs to those who had money
on the result. Suddenly the cry of "They' re
off:" went up from 35,' throats. Joe Cot
ton, with Jimmy McLaughlin up, was first
to get away, and he set out at once to make
the pace. Tast the stand he was leadingTri
boulet a neck, with Boyal Arch close up.
On the lower turn into the backs! retch Roy
al Arch went to the front, and with Eurus.
(last year's winner of the Suburban), run
ning second and Joe Cotton third, h i down
the Iiackstretcb at a fast put. These posi
tions were unchanged until they reached the
far tarn, when Firenzi, Elkwood and Terra
-Cotta commeni-ed to close np. At tlie seven
furlong pole Garrison sent Firenzi up, and
the cry went tip, " Look at Firenzi ! Garri
son will win." Elkwood, however, came
close up to Firenzi's heels, and there he
stuck until the hor.- were well into the
stretch. By this time the uproar was some
thing at once terrific and fearful. Thousands
of people were shouting, Firenzi, Elk
wood, Terra Cot," anil a dozen other names
for the horses were all in a bunch. Gradual
ly Firenzi drew clear, and, witii a length tlie
best of Elkwood, Garrison commenced to
punish his horse. He dug his spurs deep
intot the sides of the gallant animal, b J it
was all to no purKse. Elkwood, under the
vigorous riding of Martin, overhauled him,
and within one hundred feet of the finish
was a head in front. Then there shot out
from tlie extreme outside another horse,
whose jockey was dressed in black and white.
It was Terra Cotta. Without a touch of the
whip he came on, but his run was made too
late, and Elkwood won by the shortest pos
sible head. Had they had fifty feet further
to go the Western crack would have won
the race he was sent on to capture. Hu ran
in hard luck, for, being pocketed on tlie
turn into the stretch, he was compelled, logo
to the extreme outside in onler to in ike h is
run. The time was 2:071, just half a second
behind the record. The performance, bow
ever, is a remarkable one, for the horse lur
ried 11! ponuils, while the record maker"
( Dry Monopolei, only carried 1G pounds in
his celebrated race for the Brooklyn Handi
cap stakes. Mutual pools paid 1S.KS for
struight tickets, and 15 for the first
plat.
Elkwood is a chestnut horse, five years
old. by Eolus, and lielongs to the stable of
Walter Gratz, of Philadelphia.
Big Storm and Flood.
Clevflaxo. )., June 14. Siiecials from
Findley and Tiffin state that violent wind
storms did much damage throughout that
section to-day. At the former place barns
were unroofed, fruit orchards pro-tnted and
houses shattered by lightning. The farm of
John Beard is a scene of destruction and the
loss is total.
At Tilfin the west wall of a new glass fac
tory was blown in, gas well derricks demol
ished, buildings overturned and ninth loss
incurred to fruit growers and farmers by the
destruction of grain.
At Sylvania. during the storm, a farm
hand named Williams, from Allegheny City,
Pa., where he has a family, was struck by
lightning and instantly killed.
St peuiok. Wis., June 15. A number of
the principal houses of the island of Cloquet
were swept away yesterday by millions of
feet of logs breaking loose from the booms
above that town. Thirty or forty other
buildings have been abandoned, licing under
eight feet of water. Property of the St. Paul
and Duhith Kailroad at Fondulac has been
abandoned, and is likely to be swept away
at any time. In Nebraska a heavy electric
storm prevailed yesterday. Lightning struck
James Gillespie's house, killing a 'J-inontly
old babe, but not injuring any one else.
Charles Lee was killed by lightning at New
man's Grove. The I'nion Pacific dcot at
Holuicsville was struck by lightning and
burned to the ground. In Minuesotu two
children were killed by lightning, and at
Ode.ll, HU a circus tent was blown to the
ground and many persons badly injured.
Grave fenrs are felt for the safety of the St.
Paul and Dttluth bridge across St. Lonis bay
here. The loss to lumbermen will be enor
mous, as after they reach the lake the Ioks
must be picked by tugs, and only a portion
will be regsinded.
Deacon Bronson's Awful Crime.
Wateubibv, Co.ns., June It. Deacon
Isaac Broiison and wife, of Pukeville, near
Forrestrille, were found dead in their farm
house this morning. The woman's head
was hanging by a mere thread, and Bron
son's throat was gashed by a razor. The
theory is that Bronson, in a lit of insanity,
symptoms of which he ha lately shown,
cut his wife's head off with an axe, and then
cut his own throat.
Investigation allowed that the crime had
been committed with an axe. F'our blows
hail been struck, one o:i the chin, nuking a
deep gash in the jaw, another just under
the chin, cutting a deep gash in the neck,
and the other two half-way down the neck,
the axe each time being driven through the
carpet into the Door. iver the li ft eye was
a. fracture of the skull, apparently made by
the head of an axe. - The body was tlad on
ly in an underwrapper.
