DEPEW OY LIVE ISSUKS. Reciprocity, Hobnobbing With Princes and the McKinley Bill, ‘Special Cable to New York World. Depew said further that he had sound assur- ances from home that the only dissention among republicans on the McKinley bill was on Blaiue's reciprocity policy, and that the ma- jority were rapidly coming round to Mr, Blaine’s views. “You newspaper men,” said Dopew, “are very fond of telling peopte at home how I hob- nob with the Prince of Wales and get into the social swim, but after all the only men I try to meet while abroad are the men who run tho government in the countries I visit. Itis be- cause I must go into society to moet them that I go into society atall. I have talked with aev- eral of these men last week in Hembarg--mon who meke the government in England, in Ger- many, and in France. They all talked very freely tome. {[ can hardly tefl you of the ab- solute terror that prevails in France and Ger- many about the puseage of the McKinley bill. This terror has broken through the official crust of the upper classes and souked well into the people of the manufacturing districts. In Germany and France particularly whole vil- lngos and districts, where the people subsist from year to year on nothing but the prodact of their lavor sold in Amertoa, believe that the McKinley bill means starvation to them. J] am assured by men competent to speak that it ia impossible to allay this feeling of alarm. In England it is not eo bad, except among manu- facturere, Tho easy-going Britis: workman believes that ho can get along somehow, but several manufacturers told me that if the bill became « Jaw they would certainly build factories in America. — ses FATE AGAINST HIM, The Betrothed of Winnie Davis Suffers a Loss to His Fortune. The Will ons of Syracuse ere again in trouble and Miss Winnie Davis’ fiance will not be able to lead her to that home of luxury that once was his, A fow yoars ago Alfred and J. Foreman Wilkinson were influential and wealthy bankers, Financial troubles overtook them and, though an effort was made to save , | Snug fortunes, their affairs got into the courts, and as «result tho creditors gota portion of what belonged to them. The loss of money, influence and respect made outcasts of the two brothers and their deaths soon followed. Sym- pathy for young Wilkinson and his mother touched the hearts of the creditors and they were allowed to keep their elegant 240,000 home in James street. This home was insured for €18,500 and 7,500 were placed upon the furniture. One week ago Thursday men employed about the premises were engaged iu cleaning and ridding the hous moths. They were using benzine and burning sulphur, Three barrels of bonzine etoad about the place. No one knows exetly what happened, but the coach- man was blown out of the upper story of the house. He diced, and the house was almost totally destroyed by the fire which ensued. By the terms of the insurance policies explosives like benzine were not ellowed onthe place, and although the insurance companies have ixty days in which to settle all claime it rted that young Wilkinson has uo cl against the companies in this instance, and while they are sorry for him and his widowed mother they cannot afford to establish the paca of paying unjust claims out of sym- athy. The Wilkinson residence was about all that was left of what was once a large estate. It was to have been the home, fora time at least, of Winnie Davis, after she bad become Mrs, Wil- kinson. She admired the handsome dwelling aud its surroundings. Mr, Wilkinson hag not decided upon his course if the insurance com- panies refuse to pay the loss,a loss which neither he nor his mother can afford, Mrs, Wilkinson is in Europe. One of her sone sailed last week to tell her of the destruc- tion of the house, fearing that a cablegram an- nouncing the explosion would shock her be- yond her endurance. ~~" eee. KILLED HIS BRID ND HIMSELF. Extreme Poverty Drives a German Government Clerk to a Double Crime. A post office assistant in Berlin, who has oc- cupied a responsible position for twenty-three years and risen to the enjoyment of a salary of 17 shillings per week, committed suicide with a revolver Saturday at his rooms on the Reichen- berger Strasse. Before killing himselt he blew out the brains of his intended bride, Helene Richter, a beautiful girl, When the police en- tered the apartments, attracted by the reports of the pistol, they found the most squalid sur- roundings and evidences of terrible poverty, A letter written by the suicide gave os a reason for bis act a debt of 33 marks, for which he was being pressed and unable to pay, and likewise the utter hopelessness of his efforts ever to earn sufficient in the government service to live upon and the abject poverty his position imposed upon him and the girl he loved. The papers in commenting upon the case suggest that it should be made a reason for reform in the schedule of salaries for faithful govern- ment employ soe. FRENCH ENGINEERING SCHEMES.

Some people think it rather tame, but four young ladies who tried it up the Hudson the other day have discovered that it is capabie, under certain circamstances, of affording considerabje excitement. The four maidens in question embarked in a Doat by themselvos, not because they were Sverse to masculine companionship, but be- cause there happened to be no young man Ground to take them out, Soon after starting they found that their boat leaked « little, Then they took off their shoes and stockings ‘snd stowed them away high and dry on the thwarte and dabbied with their shapely little “tootsey wootseys” in the water in the bottom of the boat and agreed that they were “awfully glad” that they hadn't brought any horrid man slong, because then their hitia “tootsey woot. veys” would bave bad to stay in their shoes and stockings, which would consequently bave get- ten wey, TRE ORADS CavORT.

The first intimation that three of the girls had that tho crabs were loose was « prolouged, blood-curdling yell. The owner of that yell was the fourth girl, and the cause of the yell was @ orab which had grabbed her by the little toe. She kicked so vigorously that the crab was sent flying the full length of the boat, and in consequence was doubtiess more frightened aud astounded than the girl had beeu. The three other girla shrieked, too, when they discovered the cause of the sudden com- motion, and dropping their tines in a jiffy they took refuge on the thwarts, where they gradu- ally ceased scrouming when they perceived that the crabs could not get at them. Luckily the boat was a beamy oraft, built on the scow = or she certainly would bave capsized, and then the comedy would bave been turned into tragedy with a vengeance. THE OAPTORS CAUGHT. Rut the tables were completely turned and instead of four girls catching crabs it was a case of crabs catching four girls. The crabs held undisputed possession of the boat, which ficated meaty along the calm bosom of the fudeon. ‘he girls meantime beld a council of war and decided they would do what girls generally do when confronted by the sembianco of danger— keep on screaming. In due time the ecreaming attracted atten- tion, and a boat shot out from the shore, iu which were two young men from New York. When the rescuing party of two drew near one of the girls suddenly remembered something and communicated it to her companions. Then they all shouted out in chorus to the young men in the boat in peremptory tones: RESCUED. “Don't come any nearer!” “What's the matter?” howled one of the young men, as they stopped rowing. “We've been crabbing and the crabs are all loose in the bottom of the boat.” “Well, why can't we come any nearor?” It was some little time before one of the girls answered, in tones hardly audible: “Because we've got our shoes and—and— stockings off.” “Well, what are we to do about it?" was the abrupt but pertinent masculine inquiry. The girls held another conference. They finally decided that the young men must throw them a rope and tow their boat to the shore. When this was done and the boat with the girls had struck bottom they directed the two Young men to retire behind a point, and made them promise not to peep for five minutes. At the expiration of that time the girls were all ashore, and instead of ‘tootsey wootseys,” dainty little shoes peeped forth from beneath their dress: Tam able to tell this story because I was une of the two rescuers.
