— FIFTEENTH YEAR WILL 'FONSO FICHT? fie Must or Atone for the Tosult Lo the Tenton Kaicer's Flag, The German Embassy in Mairid Attacked and Looted. The Caroline Ocoupation Assumes a Berious Aspeot, Late Dispatches Show No Abate- . ment of Popular Feeling. Tremendous Excitoment in the Bpan- ish Oapital—Oabinet Meetings and Political Resolutions, — Germany Will Demand Satisfaction. Special Telegram to The Bre, BeruiN, Sept. 6.—The proverbial bolt out of a clear sky could hardly have amazed Ber- lin more than the news of the anti-German riot in Madrid. It was utterly unexpected, L ) snd is consequently all the moro exasperating o the Teutons, The latest utterances of the ministerial agency and the French press had led people here to imagine that Spain had thought better of quarreling over the Car- olines, The emperor personally was pattic- ularly anxious to spare Spanish pride for the sake of King Alfonso, and like the whole imperial family, deplores the necessity which has arison for forcing the young king's gov- ernment and peopleto bow the knee and atone for the ingult to Germany, News of the riot only reached Berlin at 9 Sature morning, Count Herbert Bismarck, acting mecretary of state in the absence of Oount Halzfeld, telegraphed instantly to tho chancelior at Parzin, where he was preparing to join the aged kaiser at the wilitary maneu- vers in the neighborhood. He communicated the facts to the emperor at noon and curtly explained the imperious need of demanding & full, frank and humble reparation from Spain, The question of who is to own the Oarolines has sunk into insignificance in the face of the weightier and all-absorbing question: *“How Germany is to auswer the affront to her flag and dignity,” That Germany, actirg on Bismarck’s well-known theory, will now stick to the Carolines, may be taken for granted. That he will exact an apology and summary chastisement of the rio ers who burned and spat upon the imperial arms Friday night, is equally certain. But heroit is felt that assent o this courso may mean tho outbreak of a reyolution, and the overthrow of Alfonso, The idea of war between tha two countries is dividea here, Noone bslieves that Spain has the monay, soldiers, ships or the credit required for sustaining a struggle with Geor- many; while, despite the vaporings of Paul Derculede and noley patriots of the samo pat- tern, France will not dare to stir a_finger in support of her Latin neighbor. Germany's course is clear, She will hold the dispute slands and stand on the defensive, refusing to recognize any government which might suc- ceed Afonso, Should France seek to make any capital out of the quarrel by fishing in troubled waters, and attempt to carry out her cherished though secret designs in Morocco, she will find Germany benevolently neutral. Should the Spanish gnvum\mmt show an earnest wish to repair the mischief agreeably o the Germans, every assistance compatiblo <fth stern political requirementa will be af- v 'forded it, But there is reason to fear that the Alfon- sists are no longer masters of the situatio and herein lies the burning daoger. The es peror, who is expected to return to Berlin to- night, will at once have & conference with Count Herbert Bismarck. The crown prince, feeling himsslf to some extent personally com- promised, takes the deepest interest in th affalr, and, contrary to all precedent, is ac- tively endeavormg—even at the eleventh hour—to smooth away the peril. Oa the ex- changa the news caused a serlous depression, less perhaps from the dread of war than from a fear of change of governmentin Span, which would, especially in Paris, depreciate Spanish eecurities, . The Latest News From the Scene,[§ BreuiN, Sept. 6.—The Nord Deutsche Zsit- ung, Bismarck's organ, says that the govern- ment is annoyed over the anti-German dem- onstration, but will not judge hastily. adds that inquiries will probably show the riots due to certain influences.

After discussing the Caroline ques- tion it was reswolved that the occupation of the island of Y? by the German gunboat should be considered equivalent’ ‘to & declaration of w: that if a crisia in the government should occur and the liberals bs called into power, they would withdraw Count D Benomar, Spanish smbassador at Berlin, and hand Count Sonnewalde, German ambaskador at Madrid, his passports, The resolutions also declared that the liberals would order the Span- ish authorities at the Phillippines to resover the territory in the Carolines taken possession of by Germany, and to use force it necessary to gain its adoption, The above resolutions created a great sensation. The govornment has dismisssd from the seryice the two Spanish men cf war stationed at Yap, It is now learned that after the Ger- man commander landed a force on the island of Yap and hosted the Germon flug over that territory, the Spanish vessels San Fenntin and Manila cleared thsir decks for action and the Manila was about to fire upon the German gunboat when she was signaled to desist, which sho did very rcluctantly, A third Spanish vessel, the Velastory, arrived at Yap bay. & New YORr, Sopt. 5.—A Madrid dispatch says: A violent mob upon receipt of the nows last night of the German occupation of the Island Yap of the Carolina graup, mobed 3| the German embassy, smashing the windows Dreaking into a thousand pieces the German arms on the embassy bailding, and_trampling the fragments under their fest, The embas- 8y building was completely wrecked, the fur- niture and windows being dashed to pieces.

Joe & Western by the Rock Island Road, Thoe Week's Review of Krade, Special Telegram to the Bre, Nw Yok, Sept. 6,—Wall street in still awaiting evidenca that the railway managers are bigger than the situstion. It will not do to fail now. Too much preparation has been fmbliuly made for that. For weeks and weeks oading bankers and their organs dwelt upon the power of the New York Central and Pennsylvania poople, when combined, to con. trol things with ease, It is not yet suffi- ciently uaderstood how entirely this last move in trying to sustain the pricog of railway se- ourities ia the work of the very strongest bankers and men of finance. The tide had been running against them o long that they became desperate. It is well xnown that they have abandant strength for a long pull, Drexel, Mergan & Co, were involved as the bankers having negotiated the sale in Europe of the big block of Central bought from Van. derbilt. Thainegnhflon had to ba protected, and this is just what they and others are try- Ing to do on a big scale in rolation to the pres- ent railroad situation. The simple truth is that there is a vast deal of poetic justice in the appearance of bankers as the avowed pro- tectors of ths railroad iovestor, A whole volume of railroad sureties was bought on the recommendations of these same bankers, In the end, if the situation cannot be controlled and sureties go down, they are certain, on the whole to be left on the hands of the bauks, Daring the last few years various efforts have been made to induce the New York authori tics to widen the field, o that bonds could be worked off in the great New York cit; eavings banks, but the schemes have all faile The prlce of wheat and the state of the farmera’ pocketbooks are the tall of the hour. For the moment wheat has a black eye. Wheat has done nothing for the bulls, who are certainly more tired than at the beginning of the week, They have the argument, bus the price still declines, There is too much wheat in sight. Then, too, it costs a deal of money to carry wheat, not to speak of the rink of & given quantity bacoming out of con- dition, On the whole, the argument on the continent, taking Berlin 08 a centre, appaara to be abcut the same as at London and here; still wheat goes down, T sent you last week an opinfon, just re- ceived from William E, Bear, editor of the Mark Lane Fxpress. A similar_opinion now comes from the Berlin correspondent cf Brad- streets, who writes: ‘In spite of all bull points, tha corn trade all over Europe 1s dull, in consequence of which prices are depressed. Oan the Berlin corn exchange, which influences all German markets, prices have gradually fillen 8o low that quotations of wheat with only ono exception, are lower to-day than at the same time last year. The ex- change quotes wheat, pr ton of 1,000 kilo- grammes this date on spot at 162 marks against 154 marks the same date o yosr sgo Considering that tha duty on wheat has been increased 20 marks per ton this year, these prices, compared with those of the same _date Last year, a' e considerably lower than 18 shown by & mere superficial glance at the quotations, in fact by as much as the difference of duty between 1885 and 1884, To-day’s wheat prices for September or October, for instance, are therefore not 2 marks lower than at the same date last year. “Rye,which has been almost entirely brought in, and therefore with certainty known to bs below the average in all the importing coun. tries as well as the produciog ones, ls indeed firmer in price. Large supplies of ;corn in all the principle stores of Europe, as well as Am. erica, are pretty generally alleged to be the cause of the general depression of prices. Supposing the calculation of supplies in store to be corract, the surplus of last year corn but soantily coversthe shortness of this year's yield, 8o that at the beginning of the next corn Beason in 1883-87, scarcely any u\lfply worthy of consideration would be left. In view of this situation of affairs the present standard of prices appears too low to be sustained for any long period, This opinion is in some ‘measure confirmed by late quotations, which show a slow rise with the advance of the sea- son, while at the same date last year rye ices ot the autumn and winter months were lower than those of August ” The near by dispute relates mainly to the amount of wheat carried over in_the United States from previous seasons, E, R, Liver- more, of theNew York prodace exchange, outin a circular asserting that afcer deduc! ing the requirements for consumption, seed and reserve, the surplus of wheat for export for both Pacific and At'ant orts will not exceed 52,000,000 by Bradstreet's ostimat borne out by various independent investig :)leu s, Hereis a wide margin for bulls and A e — Rumored Move of the ock Island to Enter Nebrasks.

The rumor that the Rock Tsland is figuring to come into possession probably growa out of the fact that on com- | | pletion of the latter's extension to 8t.

Economy, Special Telogram to The Bee, ‘WasHINGTON, Sept. 6,—A prominent state departmant official to-day sald that Secretary Bayard had not considered any name in refer- ence to the Austrian mission; that the matter would of course be lald before the president after his return, and a decision reached as to the course to be putsned—and even if it is de- cided to fill the position, the selection of the new minister will not receiva coneideration for some days, This official says that the names of Palmer and McOlernand have both been heard at_the state department, in this connection. He doos not think either are applicants for the place, but in common with a couple of hundred other names, theirs are regarded a3 among the possibilities. Secretary Manning declined to see about 100 callers to.day, and recsived only the offi- cers of his department, There was an im- mense amount of accumulated business nultlnr his action, and more pressing matters were disposed of. The secretary ald in response to an inquiry that he knew nothing whatever about the suit brought in New York to test the civil service law, and with which his name has bean connected, He added that the ciyil service law has off course come stay. The attack on the civil service s gonerally ridiculed in ths departments, and created no consternation at civil servics head- quarters, The genezal theory is that it origin- ates in an attempt to seoure motoristy. A prominent representative of the administra- tion said that it may be very seriously ques- tioned whether any private individual has a right to enter court in this way and undertake to act for the president of tho United States in resisting an alleged violation of his prerog- atives. Treasury accounting officers have struck another great point, They find that naval vessels have been ordered to do other duty than that contemplated by congres in appro- priations for war vessels, and propose to ques- tion the right of the navy department to in- volve expense in ordering a naval 1 to New Orleans at the time of an expedition, or to any other port on any other errand not strictly coming under the duties of the navy, The extremes to which these officials Roing is a source of ridicule. The sacratary of state recently sent an official to New York to confer with diplomatic officers on an official matter, He had to provide a rcom for conference and paid $9 a day for a parlor and bedroom for two days. The troasury acoounting officers are_said to have decided that he should bave paid smaller hotel bills, and received the distinguished gentle- men in his bed room. Austria e —— WASHINGTON WAILFS.

IN THE COMMISSION'S FAVOR, A prominent officer of the government to- day expressed the belief that the suit brought vesterday in New York against the civil ser- vice commissioners was in_ reality a friendly suit instigated by civil service advocates with a view of securing a judiclal affirmation of the legality of the civil service act. He added that a prominent civil service advocate contemplated the institution!of such a suit last spring, and that he had been invited before his appointment to office to assist in its prose- cution, It was the purpose then to carry the case to the supreme court of the United States and secare final judgment by the highest au- thority, CAPITAL BREVITIES, Secretary Lamar aud Indian Commissioner Atkins returned to this city to-nigh!

D, Cole, of Juniata, the department com- mander for Nebreska, Workmsn were en- gaged in numbering the tents, and upon some of the larger ones painters were lettering them with the titles of the various posts, On Sher- ‘man avenue, in the north part of the grounds, are located the headquarters and staff officers, All through the place are scattered bakerice, side shows and other diversions for the goldiers and their At tho waat side has been placed a danca hall by some enterprising man who expects large returns for his money, At nearly every cor- ner of the city of tonts large water tanks have been set, which will be supplied with fresh water from wells spesially sunk for the pur pose. Stacks of hay and straw and bins of corn and oats are located at the corral, near the river, near the southwestern corner of the grouuds, There are about 200 acres in the entire camp, eighty of which are covered with tents, The accommodations sre ample for all who Intend going, and every care will bs taken by the manager to seo that all are well provided with comforts, Ths sham battle, which will occur on Thursday, will ba given on the high rolling Iand across theriver to the south of the camp To get a full view of this ground is impossiblo, as the trees bordering the river cut off the prospect. To oyercome this obstacle Grover Hoyt and Oleveland Hoyt, two brothers and lumber dealers in Beatrice, have erected an ampitheatre largo enough to seat 8,000 people. It is a private enterprise of their own and a emall fee will bo charged for a seat, It is not genorally known that President Cleveland has relative in Ne- | 1. braska, but the two men_ referred to are sons of Mrs, Hoyt, of New York, sister to the president. The young Hoyts are light complexioned, slim young men, nice looking and gentlemanly maunered. *Get into my carriage and I will show you the grounds,” eaid Grover Ho{t to the reporter, as he pointed to an old-fashioned Rockaway, to which was hitched a fat, good natured looking brown horse, Accepting the invitation, the BEE reporter had the pleasure of being driven about by a nephew of a live president.
