. DEATH OF LORD IDDESLEIGH | England's Tate Seoretary For Foreign Affairs Suddenly Stricken Down, HIS END CAUSED BY WORRY. A Sensation Produced Throughout London—Various French nents on Bismarck's Speech ~1In the Reichstag, Death Pollows Deposition, 1Copright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] LoNvox, Jan, 12.—[New York Herald Cable~Special to the Brej—At the club breaktasts to-day Bismarck and Von Moltke were the sole topies, At the clubdinnersthis evening the sud converse ran only upon Lord Fdes! He died of syncope of the eiardiac region, says the medical bulletin, around which an immense crowd is gathered in Downing strcet. 1o died, say the wise men of the Carlton elub, of “worry.” 1lis physician, Dr. Granville, said this evening that what Is often called apoplexy, or con- gestion or heart disease is nothing but worry, and “worry” was the true word to be used for the cause of the death of so many brain workers. 3 1118 ENTRARCE T0 PEERAGE. A year ago last July Sir Stafford Northeote zeluctantly entered the peerage. Labouche: said at the time in Truth: “He was kicked up stairs.” Tne elevation did not really ennoble him for his baronetey dated fron: 1641 and his first traced ancestor died in 1105 When he was made foreign secretary last autumn he cameinto friction in the cabinet with Lord Randolph Churehill just as he had been in friction with him, as is well known, in the commons. Lord Salisbury practically turned Lord Iddesleigh out last week and took tho foreien office himseli. Some news- papers have spoken unkindly about these differences within the past few days, I8 SON'S STATEMENT, Only tswo days ago his son, who will now Bucceed as the sccond earl, sent to the daily papers this card, which is peculiarly interest- ing under to-day’s event: “Allow mo to contradict in your paver as to the hiealth of Lord Iddlesleigh, 1t is not true that my father wasill and dejected when in Devonshire last weck, Ife has not suf- fered from the ardous work of the foreign office and he is not about sixty-nine years of age. It has been the universal opinion of hiis family, friends and medical advisers that the intercsting duties on which he has been engaged for the last few months have had a benelicial effect on his health, and that ho is nctually better and stronger at the present time than he lias been since he left the house of commons, Your obedient servant, ST, CYRE This card was much commented upon be- cause Burke's “*Peerage” showed the earl to Dbe in his sixty-ninth year, and the statement of his age in the card was thought designous and tending to discredit the rest. IS LAST WORK. It is said that this morning the earl was greatly agitated when reading the exciting speeches of Bismarck and Von Moltke., Iie was an old-school tory, sympathizing with France, not Germany, e spent a short time preparing notes for his afternoon speech at the Mansion house, where he was to meet the Prince of Wales and drivers peers about the imperial jubilee institute. Then ho vis- ited his late office and conversed with his unde:r secretary. Mr. Stanley was in waiting there to meet him about the African trip, e appointed to seo Mr. Stanley at 6, because he was due at the Mansion house. e crossed the street to call on Lord Salisbury and bid him an ofti- cial farewell. While waiting tobe announced Die died in an arm chair, within twenty min- after leaving his old oftice and without ining consciousness. T CAUSES A SENSATION. No death since the Phanix park assassi- Tation of Lord Frederick Cavendish has caused such a sensation throughout the city. Just at the Mansion house meeting was won- dering where Lord Tddesleigh could be, the general inquiry was answered by a telegrim 10 the Princo ot Wales, who was decply af- fected. A telegram from Hawarden reports that Mr. Gladstone is much shocked by the man- nerof Lord Iddcsleigh’s death and by the strange political matters surrounding it “Sir Stafford” entered on his political earcer s private seeretary to Mr. Gladstone, whom + on two occasions he deiended by personal pamphlets, Although they had drifted apart politically they were warm personal Iriends. There will be no inquest, It is expected the funeral will be largely attended. The Jate peer will be buried in the family vault but parliament will vote him a statue in Westminster abbe . DISCUSSING BISMARCK'S SPEECH Various Comments of the French Fress on the Declaration. [Copyright 1557 by James Gordon Bennett,) Panis, (via 1 o) Jan. 12,—/New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bir the evening papers devote an entire first page to Bismarck’s now famous speech and, with the sole exception of the Bonapartist Pays, all praise the unconventional fr ness of the chancellor’s speech, and regard itas a presage of peace for atleast the yes THE SPEECH APPLAUDED, ¥ ne moderate republican Temps says: *The Machiavellian adage, that speech was given 1o man that he wmight conceal his thoughts, never found favor with Prince Bismarck, He © always states the truth frankly and brutally.

Prince Biswarck has comé out trankly, and his views on the dowestic affairs of - France nnd tleir ciances of war or peace are’ perfectly accurate and sensible. Prince Bismarck fs right when he says the majority of Frenchmen do not want war, He is also right in saying a ministry might come into power in France that in a rash moment would vre- tate a conflict, for France is becoming Americanized, and the direction of affairs might come into the hands of individuals | without scruple, who, to ¢ it squan . st the A VIOLEST HARA The Bonapartist Pays says: . “Prince Bis- marck predicts war, for, although he declares he will not at » nevertheless ailudes to certain changes in the nower of France in ich war would be the only safety vaive After the chan ent harangue wo shall be mistaken if he does not interfere be- fore long in our domestic concerns by mea of his famous moral pressure.” ME TELLS THE TRUTM, The radical Nation says: “Bismarck is an orator who always tells the truth. For many years he has been the diplomatic eassandra | o Europe, To-day he declares for peace slmply because it is the supreme will of his imperial master not to compromise his laurels by a new strugele during the remaintug months or years of his life.” THE REAL DANGER The royalist and Catholic Universe says: “Prince Bismarek justly pomnts out that the real danger is the insfavility of the French government, For this only the republican governinent s to blame:” WEIGH HIS WORDS, The Orleanist Francals says: “The Ger- man chaneellor ias spoken, and after all who is there in Iurope that ean guarantee that war shall not break out to-morrow or in a week or month?

The conservative Liberte suys: “Prince Bismarck’s utterances mean for the moment peace, or rather a prolonging of the armed truce. We must keep our rifles ready in hand, but must not fire them,” A Lunatic's Hallucination. [Copyright 155 by James Gordon Bennett.] BeLiy, Jan, 12.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bes. |—Hardly a month passes without some lunatice trying to force his way into the kalser’s palace. It is not always the sama lunatic, for each time the disturber is arrested, But nearly all the cranks in question have hitherto had a strange family likeness and have acted more or less in the same fashion. A workingman who was arrested a couple of days ago marked anew departure, Ile might be deseribed as a plissful Bulgaromaniae. A policeman grabbed him as he was trying to smuggle himself into the hall of the palace. On his being examined at the police station the prisoner remonstrated with his “You must letme go,” he been appointed prince of Bulga ngel with glittering robes. ‘I'he ang t thee unto the German kaiser, thou fourth godhead, (vierte gottheit), and tell him thy name is Augustus, prince of Bulgaria. Joy and gladness shalt thou bring unto the world because thou las power to banish poverty'.” Having delivered himself of the remark- able statement the prisoner relapsed into dignitied silence till after supper, when he became uproarous and was locked up for the night. He has since been removed to an asylum. Tossibly the excitement continu- ing to-day over the army bill and the mys ous allusions of Von Moltke and Iiis °k to France may beget fresh lunacy pre- tensions, Germany All Excitement. [Copyright 1557 by James Gordon Bennett.] Berniy, Jan, 12.—(New York Herald Cable—Special to the Bex.]—The day has been one of the utmost interest over the staz, the tribunes of which were fairly crammed.

QUOTATIONS FROM SCRIPTURE. Senator Manderson Introduces a Bill Regulating Army Retirements = The inter-State Commerce Bill in Doubt, Defending the Mormon Doctrine, WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, — |Special Tele- gram to the Bek. | —Thera was quite a strik- ing scene in the house to-dayjwhen Caine,the Mormon delegate in congress, defended his religion, his peonle, and denounced the Fi munds bill as an excise for the adventurers of Utah to despoil the church and its e bers, Mr. Caine is a man of good appearanee and, like all those the church has sent to Washington, of more than unusual ability. He is not a polvgamist himself, but stood up in the house to-day and defended the prac- tice of polygamy as a divine right. Ilis con- duct in Washington lLas been exemplary and he has won the respect of everyone with whom he has been associated, both for his ability and his manly gualities, Although Le is perhaps the only man in Washington who believes in the doe- tiines of the Mormon chureh, he never hesitates to defend them in private or in public with the zeal of a fanatic and with such skill as to silence the average debater. His speech to-day was a close piece of reason- ing, and the severest critics expressed their admiration for it. e quoted scripture without limit and went so farasto assert that the Mormon chureh was the only one in ex- istence, except the Jewish, that was founded upon literal seriptural doetrines. During the speech, at times it scemed that Mr. Caine would lose control of himself, but he did not, although toward the close he spoke with agreat deal of feeling. The bill will un- doubtedly pass, and Mr. Caine, as well as the Gentiles of the territory, ybelieve the church cannot survive nnder it. It confiscates the property, - destr the_ organization and makes the practices of Mormonism practi- cally impossible, THE TRADE DOLLAR. The house coinage commit to-day de- cided to report the senate bill to redeen the trade dollar. That clause of the bill provid- g that the amount ot trade dollars re- deemed each month shall be deducted from the monthly purchase of silver bulifon under the act of 188 was struck out by the house cominittee, DEBATE TO CONTINUE ALL WEEK, "The debate in the senate on the inier-state commeree bill will be continued through the week. Senator Cullom, who has charge of it, is anxious to obtain a vote, but as there is no means of curtailing the debate in the senate, lie must wait patiently until the senators ex- haust themselves, 1t" is expected that the guestion will be disposed of about the mid- dle of the coming week. There seems to bo considerable misunderstanding about the par- liamentary ~ status of this bill. It was pussed by each house disacreeing votes and the differences were reterred to conference committeé. The conference com- mittee reconciled the differences. — Their report is now hetore the senate. —The report canuot be altered or amendod, and each house must vote diregtly gn the report of the conference. Neither is it complete for eitl house to instruct ity conferees, as each in- struction would preclude “a full and fre conference,” But the senate might indicat by a vote on a collateral question “its feeling on a disputed point aud should he but rec: ommend the senate conferees would doubt- less feel bound by such a vote. It will be thus seen that there is no loree to the talk in some newspavers ahout amending the bill as it now stands. It anusg be epted asit stands or be rejected, , RUMOLS ABOUT JIEWITT'S DEATIL The report of the death of Mayor Hewitt was generally cirenlated «this morning aud generally believed by, those who were aware critical situation, whieh is similar to that in which General Logan lay a week be- fore his death. The contradictory dispatches were weleome, for My, Hewitt, “despite his eceentricities, ' has numerless friends in Washington.' A letter was received at the white house last _evemng from Mrs, Hewitt, stating that her husband’s illness would render it_impossible for him to attend the cabinet dinner, to which hehad been invited. Information has been received in the ¢ by friends of Mr. Hewitt that for the last thiree days his sickness has been a source of anxlety to his family. It i8 said by acquaintances that Mr. Hewitt has long been under the impression that he did not have long to live, and for this reason made it nositive condition of his candidacy for the mayoralty that he should name the candidatn for president ot the boad of aldermen, who would succeed himin case of his death or disability. AN ENDORSEMENT OF VAN WYCK. Ralph Beaumont, ehairman of the execu- tive_commitice of the Knights of Labor, is in Washington to-nizht and expressed the greatest anxiety for the re-clection of Sena- tor Van Wyek, He says General Van Wyek is the most staunch and effective friend of labor there is in the senate, and that ihe Knights of Labor of Nebraska, and in fact the whole country should lend all eneoura - ment towards his re-clection possible.
