GENERAL FOREIGN ‘TOPICS ————_+—_— CANNES, March 6.—There was much snow along the Riviera last evening. Mr. A. Barclay Walker’s new racing cutter, Ailsa, arrived here at half-past 9 this morn- | ine and is moored close to Rritannis The work of getting Ailsa in racing trim is) emg busuy carriea ua vy berfug thirty men, and it is now almost certain that she will be ready to race to- morrow. The yacht was eagerly Scanned and discussed by little knots of yachtsmen along the quay all the morning. .The gen- eral verdict is most favorable to the new cutter. She has beautiful Hnes, her spars are much admired, and her enormous boom excites astonishment. “She is a tidy-looking boat,” said Capt. Carter, sailing master of Britannia; “and she ought to give us some trouble.” “How about the report that Britannia may go to the United States to race for the America’s cup in case she proves to be taster than Ailsa and the new Valkyrie? Would the Prince of Wales send her to the United States?” Capt. Carter was asked. “It would hardly be worth while for any boat to go to the United States with the intention of racing for the America’s cup unless she is uble to beat Britannia,” re- Plied the Prince of Wales’ skipper, “as the Americans will doubtless improve on Vigi- lant. But, whatever the result of Ailsa’s ™maiden’ race tomorrow, it cannot be re- garded as a real test, as it will take at least two days to get her in true racing term.” ° The races today are of purely local in- terest.

PORT SAID, Egypt, March 6.—The Fries- land, taking a large party of American ex- cursionists to the Mediterranean, and which left New York on February 6, is ashore in a bad position at this port. The Fries- land grounded while leaving Port Said, and is now hard and fast at a spot inside the breakwater. The cause of the accident was her steering gear becoming disabled. The steamer'’s cargo is being unloaded as rapidly as possible in order to lighten her. She is being ussisted by tugs and her pas- sengers are in no danger. ATHENS, March 6—The Fuerst-Bis- marck, with a large number of American excursionists on board, has arrived at Piraeus, the seaport of Athens. Anton Baumann’s Remains. HULL, England, March 6.—A_ fishing smack today brought here the body of Anton Baumann, one of the victims of the Elbe disaster. He was formerly manager of the opera house at Prague, and had been engaged by Mr. Walter Damrosch as stage manager for the Wagnerian opera season in New York. His wife was a native of California. Gen, Barrios Returning. LIVERPOOL, March 6.—Gen. Barrios, the Nicaraguan special envoy to Great Britain, whose mission is understood to have been unsuccessful, and which grew out of the troubles at Bluefields, is a pas- senger on board the Cunard line steamship Umbria, which left Queenstown on Sun- day, and which is due in New York cn Saturday next.

BERLIN, March 6.—The minister of com- merce, Freiherr yon Berlepsch, in the Prus- sian diet today, during the debates on the estimates of the ministry of commerce, de- clared it to be impossible for the govern- ment to support any proposal looking to the revision of the existing commercial treaties, to which@he added, the stability of the country was chiefly due. ‘This stat ment was greeted with tumultuous ap- plause from the left.

Mr. Taylor, it is added, in the name of the United States, assured Senor Sa- gasta of the United States’ friendship for Spain, and of the intention of the Ameri- can government to keep a strict watch at all filibustering centers, in order to prevent the organization of expeditions to Cuba and the spreading of revolutionary propa- ganda against Spain's sovereignty in Cuba.

Ave. and operators failing to agree on the 6)- cent rate for minirg demanded by the former, the operatcrs proposed a joint con- vention of miners and operators to be held in this city on Saturday. This proposition was reported to the miners’ -convention when it reassembled this morning and was promptly rejected. A vote was then takea and the strike was ordered to take effect immediately. The delegates will return to their homes this evening and meetirgs will be called at every pit, when the strike will be announc- ed and plans for its prosecution will be formulated. The miners are hopeful of winning the strike for two principal reasons. The first is that lake shipments of coal are about to begin, and that the demand for fuel will force the operators to pay the 69-cent rate. The other reason is that never before have the miners of this district been sq thor- oughly organized as now, despite the hard winter of poverty and suffering through which they have passed. The strike to in- sure them victory must be short, as the treasury cf the mine workers is not in a condition to fight a prolonged battle. See THEY SAW THE COUNTESS. Waiting Throng at the New York's Pier Rewarded. NEW YORK, March 6.—About fifty peo- ple were gathered about the saloon passen- ger gangway of the American line pier at 10:15 this morning, when one of the Gould carriages came rapidly down the dock. ‘these early comers had their curiosity sat- isfied when the Count De Castellane step- ped out of the carriage and assisted his bride to alight. The countess wore a tan skirt, an astrakhan jacket, with a yellow rose at her waist, a small black hat and a black veil. The New York was overrun with a mob of the curious, who were looking into every state room in the hope of being able to see the ones which the countess had en- gaged for the trip across. The crowd had a good view of the newly made countess, as she stood at the head of the companion stairway waiting for the count, who had stopped below for a moment’s talk with one of the ship’s people. When he reached the countess’ side they passed quickly to their suite of rooms on the upper deck, and remained there until the steamer had clear- ed from the dock. : Before secluding himself, however, the count, in speaking of their plans, sal “From Southampton we shall go direct to London, where we shall stay for four days. Then we intend to cross the channel and spend a week in Paris. That will be the beginning of an extended tour through Europe, which will last I know not how long.” The suite the count and countess occupied is No. 5, on the upper deck, and consists of four rooms. The baggage of the Count and Countess De Castellane consisted of forty-one pleces, including trunks, port- manteaux, boxes, cases, parcels and endless smaller articles. Before the couple reached the boat Charles Raoul Duval superintended the sending up of a case of wine to suites 5 and 6 on the promenade deck. Following the case of wine arrived a large quantity of flowers, and cach lot of them was fol- lowed by am eager, gapme, almost hysteri- cal crowd of women, who lined up along the pier and fought for the nearest places to the saloon gangway. Miss Helen Gould sent down a bouquet of 200 American beauty roses. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gould sent a large cluster of lilies of the valley, and from Mr, and Mrs. George Gould ame a superb bunch of blue and white orchids and a quantity of long- stemmed. American beauty roses. Other well-known passengers on the New York were Mr. John Jacob Astor and Mrs. Astor, W. Bourke Cockran and Lady Henry Somerset. ‘The —— FAVORS SOUND MONEY. A Congressman With This Comes From Kansas. “A sound-money Congressman from Kan- Sas'’ may seem an anomalous statement to those who associate Kansas politics with Pefferism, free silver, fiat money and pop- ulism, but such a condition does exist. Mr. W. A. Calderhead is a Representative is the next House from the fifth Kansas di: trict, and was elected a republican on a professed anti-free silver and sound-money platform. Mr. Calderhead is now in this city, and talked interestingly with a Star reporter about Kansas politics today. “Kansas is getting to be a sound-money state,” said Mr. Calderhead, “and the only people there now who are radically in fa- vor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver are a few populists, and even they are not so rampant as they were. At the time of my election the state platform ¢ the republican party contained a declara tion favoring the coinage of American product silver and putting a prohibicory duty on the foreign product. I went before the people of my district, however, and told them that I would not’ vote for the free coinage uf American silver or any other silver until the time arrived when a silver dollar would be a 1 in the markets of the world as any other doliar, I believe that silver and gi ould be on a parity, and that until such is the case we cannot afford to coin American silver at a ratio of een to one. “Phere were many republicans in my district who favored free coinage, but they voted for me. They knew my position per- fectly well w they did it, and the fact of thi voti for me is evident to my mind that they realized the truth of the statement which I mzde to them “that free coinage is impracticable at this time. I atso upheld the national banking system. I belicve that it furnishes us the best pa- per money that we have, and it should not ba supplanted by a system of state banks Belief this connection I also believe in the ment of the greenback. The exam- which we have ntly had of the use to which greenbacks ean be put shouid be a warning to us, and they should not be permitted to be used for the purpose of sonstantly depleting the gold reserve. “I do not mean to convey the impression that I am hostile to silver.

THE BIMETALLIC LEAGUE ————_—_>——— The Bimetallic League have fssued an address to the people soliciting their sup- port for a party on the’ fellowing platform in the campaign of 96: First. On this issue we declare ourselves to be unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, and demand the immediate return to the constitutional standard of gold and silver by the restoration by this governmeiit independently of any foreign pewer; of the unrestricted coinage of both silver and gold into standard money at a ratio of 16 to 1 and upon terms of exact equality, the silver coin to be a full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts and dues, public and private. Second. We hold that the power to con- trol and regulate a paper currency is i separable from the power to coin money, anc. hence that all currency intended to circulate as money should be issued and its volume controlled by, the general govern- ment only, and should be legal tender. Third. We are unalterably opposed to the issue by the United States of interest-bear- ing bonds in time of peace, and demand the payment of all coin obligations of the United States, as provided by existing laws, in either gold or silver coin, at the option of the government, and not at the option of the creditor. On this issue we appeal from the dicta- tion of the money power to the intelli- sence and patriotism of the American peo- ple. The address makes a long argument on the financial question, reciting the charges <which the silver men make against the “gold bugs,” who, they say, now control the two old parties, and calling upon the public to communicate to the league their wishes in the matter of nominating the presidential candidate. They suggest the nomination of ex-Representative Sibley of Pennsylvania, who would be the league’s choice, if they had theeright to nominate. It is the first preliminary step toward the formation of a party to make the fight in ‘96 on the single issue of silver. . ‘The men who have long been prominent as the silver leaders in Congress have for the most part held aloof from this move- ment. The republicans and the democrats who agree on silver, but are closely bound to their old party allegiance on other issues, still holding to the hope that «ne or the other of these old parties may be captured, and made the party of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1. The New Lender. Mr. Sibley, whom the leaders have recom- mended for the nominatiqn, is a young man, and a man of considerable wealth, who is one of the most ‘farnest and en- thusiastic silver men in'th¢’country. He is rather a tall, slender man, With a smsoth- shaven face and gray hair.‘ He has rather a striking countenance, ‘Marked with lines that indicate studiougnes$, keenness of perception, penetration and aggressiveness. He bears a slight resemiblatice to Secretary Carlisle of Kentucky, thore, particularly in the expression of his mouth, which in- dicates fluency and forcefulncss of lan- guage. During his cern in’ Congress as a democrat he has made ‘two or three speeches which have attracted wide atte! tion on account of their volubility, quaiaz- ness of expression and grdat daring. His latest speech, in which, he, attacked Presi- dent Cleveland on the -part.of his financial policy, created a serisation, and was a He dts said to tival is love. of his fellow He has been very essful in the acquirement of a large fortune, and prides himself upon the fact that he has never sued any man to secure payment of a bill nor in any way taken advantage of the misfortune of his debtors. He is regarded as eccentric in his generosity. Does Not Want to Be President. Mr. Sibley says that he does not want the office of President, but that he is devoted to the cause of silver and will lend to the new movement all the assistance he can and will be the candidate for President if that is required of him. He is enthusiastic over the new movement and predicts suc- cess to the silver party. The nomination for the presidency, or, rather, the designa- tion for leadership, was offered to both Senator Teller and Senator Don Cameron before it was given to Mr. Sibley. Mr. Sib- ley had repeatedly stated that he did not want the leadership, and even a..er the two Senators had declined he asked the league to nate some other than himself. Speaking toa Star reporter this morning, he said: “The purpose of this movement is to secure an immediate organization of the silver men and to begin the campaign at thing unique in congres8idnal debate. is a great student, once. There is no pride of party name and we do not care how the orgenization is finally accomplished. The only purpose is that there shall be a silver party in the next campaign advocating the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 as the single great issue. The campaign for silver will begin at once, and we Will have sixteen months the start of those opposed to silver, whether they be in one or both of the old parties. “fam suggested for nomination not in compliance with a desire of my own, and I am ready to step uside at any time for another leader and give him my earnest support. If the republicans will nominate Mr. Cameron, Mr. Teller or any other free coirage man on a free coinage platform, we will accept him and give him the bene- fit of all our work in the campaign. No cne expects the republicans to do this. It is probable that they will nominate a man who will try to straddle the question, and that their platform will be a straddle. “If the democrats nominate a free coln- age man on a free coinage platform our organization will support him. The only thing we want is that there shall be a thorough erganization and a vigorous, ag- gressive campaign for silver,and that there shall be a candidate for the presidency pledged uncor ditionally to silver, making that the single issue. If the silver mea wait to organize irside of elther of the old parties they will find out tco late that they have been betrayed. We will be forehand- ed in this. If either of the old parties take up the cause in a satisfactory manner, all well and good. There will not be two silver candidates for the presider If they fail to do so our organization will be complete, our campaign made, and we will have but to name our candidate for President. I hope it will be some other than mysclf, but who ever it is will, in my judgment, be elected. pete Sentiment for Free Silver. “There is an overwhelmtyg sentiment in this country for free silver., The course cf Mr, Cleveland” has intensijied the feeling among the people.

The Washington Light Infantry Corps, two hundred strong, will invade Brooklyn, N. ¥., Memorial day on a friendly pil- grimage. Col. Moore and his men have accepted an invitation from the thirteenth regiment, N. G. S. N. Y., of Brooklyn, and the rejuvenated first battalion of the Dis- trict National Guard is to parade on May 30 with Brooklyn’s defenders. Arrange- ments for the trip are in the hands of a committee, with Capt. John Miller at the ead. The infantry,accompanted by a full band, will leave Washington on the evening of May 29, and is to remain in Brooklyn until the following Sunday, June 2, reaching this city on the evening of the latter day. The main ofject of the trip of the local battalion is to participate in_the exercises attendant upon the dedication of the new armory of the thirteenth Brooklyn regi- ment. This ceremony was to have taken place some weeks ago, but was postponed on account of the trolley strike. The in- fantry will travel in a new corps fatigue uniform, in style similar to the one now in use, which will be ordered in the near fu- ture. Full-dress National Guard uniform will be taken along. A large number of honorary members and friends are expect- ed to accompany the soldiers, and the com- mittee has been assured that all will be entertained in a royal manner. ———— Emancipation Day Arrangements. The colored people of the northeast, in pursuance to a call by Superintendent T. H. Gihson, met in convention at Mission Church, 10th and I streets northeast, last right, and after speeches by several gcn- tlemen the organization of the northeast division was formed as follows: Superin- tendent, T. H. Gibson; chief marshal, J. W. Wood; secretary, J. W. Crow; assistant secretary, A. Belt; treasurer, James H. Marshall. Superintendent Gibson appointed the following finance committee: ‘T. J. Ed- mondson, chairman; J. Sullivan, Henson Stewart, Manuel Simms, Wm. Lee, Capt. J. Johnson, Isaac Woodward, C. Rodgers, James H. Marshall and J. Dandridge. Chief Marshal Wood appointed the fpllowing staff officers: Right aid, Andrew Morris; left aid, Henson Stewart of Benning; aids, Wm. Lee, Manuel Simms of Bladensburg, Isaac Woodward, Henry Getts and S. Brooks, and later will make other appoint- ments to the staff. A committee on concert was also appointed.

There were contests over the appointecs at all these offices, the principal one being at Elizabethtown, where the nomination of Frank A. Joplin to succeed Mrs. Emily T. Helm, a relative of Presi- dent Lincoln, was hitterly opposed. Most of these nominations were caused by ex- piration of the commissions of incumbents, and some of the cases will again be taken up for further action on Postmaster Gen- eral Bissell’s return from New York.
