marck, and until the voting began the house was it a tumuit. Bismarck and the other ministers entered just in time to hear the Storm of hisses and' laughtet which greeted Bamberger's statement that the result ot the elections was not the voice of the people in favor of the “septennate,” but had been brought about by the people’s fear of war. Nobody stood upon his desk, as did Mr. Springer in congress, nor upon the beneh, as Lord Randolph Churchilldid in the eommons, but forn decorous German reich- ptag the scene is said to have more closely resembled a “beer garden” than it ever did before. When finally calm was restored the woting showed that both the center and the progressists were badly split. Prince Bis- marck’s vietory was so complete as almost to brand him as a “politician,” s majority 1s absolute, The opposition seems to be so gone to pleces that for a time at least, he will be ablo to govarn through parliament as if 1o parliament existed. DELESSEPS ATIRIVES. M. DeLesseps arrived this morning and is greeted in & most friendly spirit by all the Berlin papers, which devote long articles de- scribing his arrival and appearance. With very unusual enterprise one Berlin paper in- terviewed him at once, M. DelLesseps,with his usual cleverness, said he was In favor of peace, knowing nothing about war or diplo- maocy. Then he putin a half column puff for the Panama canal, about which he claims to know something. All indications point to courtand popular teception of Del.esseps which should greatly gratity the French. A ROYAL BALL AND FALL. A Serfous and Sensatlonal Tumble of the King of Denmark. \Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] COPENIAGEN, March 0.—[New York Herald Cable—Special tothe Bee.]—A gen- tleman who was present at the recent court ball at the royal palace thus describes the sensational accident that happened to King Christian after supper: The father of the princess of Wales and of the czarine danced a cotillion, choosing for his partner Miss Estrup, daughter of his prime minister. A portion of the floor near the queen’s throne bad been s0 waxed and polished that it was as slippery as a sheet of ice. Five couples, including the king and Miss Estrup, .were ‘waltzing near the slippery spot when two of the couples slipped, fell and rolled on the floor. Almost at the same instant the king's foot slipped and his majesty fell with a tre- mendous crash on his back at full length, bringing down with him Miss Estrup, whose meck was slightly cut by one of the kinz’s de- corations In his fall. The king's head struck the corner of one of the steps of the queen’s throne with a report like that of a povgun. T'here was great consternation, ‘The mnsic ceased. The king remained stunned and motionless, Every one thought he was killed. Someof the ladies screamed. Miss Estrup fainted away and the Countess Reventlow, oneof the ladies of the court, ‘was seized with a criz de neurfu. T he king ‘was the first to recover his presence of mind. Bleeding from a wound in the back of the head and pale as a sheet, he tried to nise to his feet, but fell back again on the floor. The ladies of the court placed wet handkerchiefs o his majesty’s forehead and applied smell- Ing salts to his nose. In a few momenss he ‘wasassisted to his feet. He at once made a 8ign to the orchestra to resume the musicand desired the dancing to re-commence. He himself made a tour of the hall with Miss Estrup on his arm, doing his best to tranquil- 1ze her, but shortly afterward the entire court left the ball room and everybody went home. Next day the queen was attacked ‘with nervous trembling as a result of the excitement of the previous evening, and the king was obliged to remain in his room for swo days. ‘This, perhaps, is the most sensa- tional incident that las happened in any court festivity in Denmark since the memor- able occaslon when the royal Dan was tled by the unexpected deaouement of nce Hamlet's play of ““The Mouse Trap.” THE IRISH CAMPAIGN, The New Secretary and Archbishop Croke's Declaration. [Copyright 187 by James Gordon Bennett.] Dusriy,March9.—[New York Herald Cable ~Speclal to the BE! ‘The new secretary for Ireland, Mr. A. J. Balfour, is now here. Mr. W. H. Smith. his predecessor of a year ago, stayed here twenty-four hours, when his goyernment was turned out. Mr. Balfour has boen here for forty-eight nours. ‘‘He comes to visit Ireland to see for the first time ‘what it is like,” quizzically said Mr. Dwyer Archbishop Croke, in a card, dis- claims the interpretation put upon his state- ment about no taxus being paid. He says: “It never entered my head to recommend a general uprising azainst the payment of taxes. However I may deplore the use to which the government has been converting them, or to sugzest a policy in any way ad- 'verse to the one successfully pursued by the Irish parliamentary party I trust to constitu- tional agitation alone for the rest. Detends of our national rights as we are circum- stanced, no one, I believe, but a fool or a knave could put his trust in auy other line ot action. Not being either I have not openly recommended nor covertly hinted an alterna- tive course.” Rome, March 9.—[New York Herald Cable—Speclal to the Bek.|—It is morally eertain that despite tho disagrecable lmpres- #1on made here by Archbishop Croke's recent action in the matter of tax paying, the pro- paganda hias no intention of calling him to account, at least for the present. The matter will ba discreetly ignored unless some fresh demonstration of the bishop absolutely ,mrwllome to interfere. Besides this, his own interpretation of his words as tele; graphed here last evening must soften the first impression. The Chatham Dock Yard Scandal, (Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxpoxn, March 9.—(New York MHerald Oable—Special to tho Beg.]—The treason In the Chatham Dock yard and Rev. Henry ‘Ward Beecher's death push aside in all the morning papers Bulgaria, Ireland and the eloture. The Telogravh, speaking of the dock yard scandal, says: “Itis stated that the government of the United States is the other party to the charge brought against Mr. Young Terry. We trust this may prove to be an unfounded rumor. If, however, it should be proved that the government at " Washington has been surrepticiously en- * deavoring to bribe British oflicials to turn . traltors, a violent wave of indignation will beyond all question, sweep over this coun- fry.” The otuer papers scem to echo this belligerency. I showed Mr. Charles P. Phelps, second ~ secrotary of the Amerlcan legation, the tol- Jowlng paragraph to-day taken from an even- A mewspaper: P m?u transvired that ‘Terry had supplied B information which had ‘boen lfized of im to a genticman in London, and that he * in turn had passed it ou to a third party, by - which means it had reached the A merican le- 5 in. Considerable surprise 1s folt that the n government should endeavor to get of secret information In this under- ded manuer, as the English udmlruut[' ve been very willing to give them all legi assistance in the construction of shipa. ““There Is not _the faintest color of truth in “$he first allegation,” said Mr, Phelps, Only . $o-day the admiralty authorities informed the 'S American legation that they did not believe ‘in any such rumor. ‘f'he fact is Torry sup- A bis drawings to a man in the north of pdon, and from him they reached America through an altogether private channel. I8 no doubt the desixns have been d to other countries, but the United chosen to cover the attache of every country to get plans if he can, and they all do it, except the United States attaches. Our legation has no need to do anything underhanded, as the English government generally grants United States officials what we ask for. Of course the ad- miraity knows this and they do not object to it, but they do object to private persons sup- plying the information, and they intend to find out who the delinguents are and then punish them,” EMPHATIC 1) Loxnox, Mareh ‘ommodore Chadwick, United Stites naval attache in London, bad an interview this morning with Rear Ad- mi William Graham, controller of the navy, in relatios 0 the statements that Draughtsman Terry, who had been dismissed from the Chatham navy yard, had revealed the secrets of naval designs to the American lezation. The controlier said that they were merely newspaper assertions, and that as far as the stories connected anvbody in the legation with the navy yard treacher; they were entirely false. "All that the ad- miralty knew that Terry had sold private persons designs, which he izained possession of by reason of his position in_the govern- ment employ, The secretary of the Ameri- can legation contirmed and emphasized the denlal that any British naval plans had been obtained by underhanded methods. PRESS COMMENT, ‘The Telegraph, commenting on the dis- charge of Draughtsman Terry from the Chatham navy yard, says: “If the charge that Terry’s revelations” went indirectly to the American legation ba true, and it '»ruvad that the government at Washington has surreptitiously tried to bribe British of- ficials to turn traitor. a violent wave of in- ignation will sweep over this country, [Che people of England and the United States are on the friendliest terms, and there is every desire on our part to maintain these rela- tions, British dock yard oflicials are willin, to show foreigners the details of Englsh naval resources, but the nation desires this to be open and above board. ‘Ireacherous trafficking in state secrats when discovered will be visited with swift censure and punisi- ment.” NO TRUTIL IN THE CHARGE.

CINCINNATI, March 9.—A special from Millersburg, Ind., says William Driver, dep- uty constable, came here from Switzerland county to arrest William Sleet, who had es- caped from the officers while under arrest for stealing, and found him in a skiff going to- ward the Kentucky shore. Sleet’s son Leslie, aged fourteen, who was alsoin the skiff at the Indiana shore, called to his father not to return. Driver then fired at the elder Sleet.

MANNING LEAVES THE TREASURY Licutenant Powell Reported in a Crit- ical Condition —Benedict Dis- charges Another Big Batch— Washington News. A Significant Trip By Sherman, WasniNGToN, March 9.—[Special Tele- eram to the Be| here s not a little gos- sip afloat to-night about the real object of Senator Sherman’s visit to the south at this time, The senatot’s friends do not hesitate to say that it has an incidental political bear- ing and that he will speak in all vortions ot the south before he returns, Ex-Senator Mahoue and ex-Representative John S. Wise, of Virginia, anuounced to-day that Sherman delegates will be chosen in their state next spring and that the “Ohio man’ can carry the Old Dominion againstany democrat that can be put in the field. 1tis believed that presidential campaign issues and candidates for nomination will develop soon after Sherman returns. MANNING'S DEPARTURE. Secretary Manning left the treasury de- partment for good this afternoon. He goes to New York to-morrow and sails for Europe Tuosday. Iam notviolating any confidence when 1 tell the true reason for Manning's trip to Europa, When it was stated that he would take a foreign trip before taking charge of the new bank in New York it was vehemently denied by Mr. Mannmg. Two weeks ago he went to New York and hada consultation with the directors of the new bank. Mr. Hyae, of the Equitable Life In- surance company, and another well known capitalist and Mr. Hyde's partner in projecting and starting the new bank, said at this interview what has been stated so often from this city—tbat dir. Man- ning was a sick man. They did not say any- thing, but within the next few days they sold out all their stock in the new bank at 10 per cent above par. The reasons they gave was that Manning was not a prover man, in his present physical condition, to take charge of so large a concern. ‘The other stockholders and directors, when they heard of the two leaders’ actlon, grew alarmed, and then they decided that Mr, Manning should take a trip abroad. Everything was arranged for him. Kven Mr, Jordan was to go aiong to see that he kept well. This, too, is a great change in plans, for Mr. Jordan did not intend to leave jhe treasurer’s oftice till late in April. The hopes of Mr. Manning's absence from the United States and Jordan’s constant attcnd- ance was what kept the directors of the new bank tozether. It was a hard blow to the directors to tind Manning so ill, because they had hoped his name and services would be of financial aid to them and they think now the best thing is for him to take a long vacation. POWELL'S CRITICAL CONDITION. ‘The condition of Lieutenant Joseph S. Powell, signal corps, who is sick at hus resi- dence in this “y and whe is well known in Nebraska and Minnesota, is suci as to cause the gravest apprension, and it is almost imn- probable that he will survive many days onger. His physical condition yesterday was such that he is utterly unable, "a signal ofticer says, to raise a hand, and is wholly cared for by attendants as though he was an infant of a week’s age. His meutal con- dition I8 such that he cannot talk or recog- nize anyone and he is imbecile rather than insane, After his arrival here General Greely had hin released from arrest as soon as his condition became known. BENEDICT WIELDS THE AX. A paintul state of trepidation and fear oxists among Bmgloyes at the government printing oftice. ublic Printer Benedict is almost daily sending notices through his foremen to scores of compositors, pressmen, etc., which read thus: *“I am lustructed by the public printer to inform you that your services will not be required in this office after this date.” This means summary dis- missal. Others are receiving *‘furlouhs,” which are equivalent to dismissal. Benedict says that this course is necessary on account of the deliciencies created by his predecassor, but declares there Is all the work the entire force can do. Yesterday forty men were dis- charged, ‘To-day about the same number were relieved from duty and the reduction of force will continue till over 2,300 employes aro down to about 1,600, The public printer has asked for numerous improvements in the way of machinery, but there is little likeli- hood that congress will grant them a large roportion. ‘The people being dismissed will Km’fl no work to do and many will be in al- most destitute circumstances. UNSIGNED BILLS, Representative Dibble, of South Carolina, who was chairman in the last congress of the house committee on public buildings and grounds, presented a brief to the president to-day regarding the much-vexed question of the latter's right to sign bills after the ad- journment of congress. *“There are thirty- tive bills,” said Mr. Dibble, “that passed both houses of congress, and we think the presi- dent has a perfect right to sizn them if he sees fit. 1 have taken a great deal ot trouble to hunt up authorities in the case and es- pecially s\ncu many of the bills came from my committee, and I naturally want to see them become laws. ‘The proposition set forth in my brief to the president was that a bill passed by both houses of congress and pre- sented to the president of the United States during the sesslon might become a law if he approved it within ten days of its presenta- tion, whether congress was in session at the time of his signing or not. ‘There is but one method in which the president can manifest his approval -of - a bill and that is Dby signing it Approved bills are never returned to con- Kress, but they 2o from the president to the secretary of state, and consequenily. sueh bills are not atfected by any action. -of con- gress so far as adjournment i3 eoncerned. "The bills presented to him have'all of them passed both houses of congress, “1f there is any vicious legislation in them he will with- hofd his approval, and such bills fail, but as to others which he regards as merilorious he simply gives effect to the will of the peoplo and the states expressed by their respective representatives in congress in matters which are for the good of the cmlnlrf’. 1t could never haye been contemplated that meritor- ious legislation should be thus defeated when the senate and house concur in their action and the executive also approves. In my interview with the president,” concluded N ibble, **'he assured me that he would give my briet careful consideration, but would not give me even an_inkling as to his determination in the matter. THE PRESIDENTIAL PRESSURE RELIEVED. ‘The pressure has been relieved upon the president and he tinds more time to devote now to his private affairs as well as to the ublic since congress adjourned. ‘Cobe sure, Ke has dally to receive congressmen who want to pay their respects before going home, but otherwise tho president is not much ham: pered with the adjournment of congress. There has ceased to be a rush of visitors at the white house, and the tri-weekly public receptions now rarely accumulate more than a hundred visitors, © All that come to the white house up to half-past 1 o’clock shake hands with the_president, but nobody Is per- mitted to see Mrs. Cleveland outside of her intimate aequaintances. ‘The recent death ot her grandmother, Harmon, at Jackson, Mich., is of the reasons assigned Cleve- land’s withdrawal from _ public life, for a greater part of her girlhood was spent with her relatives in Jackson, Mich. Mry. Cleveland was a great favorite with Grand- mother Harmon, and it has been a source of deep regret that she was unable to leave Washington to attend the funeral. Besides, Mrs. Folsom, when she left Washinz:tcn for the bedside of her wother, had no intimation of the dangerous nature of her illness and hence did not consider it necessary to have her daughter accompany her. eanwhile the president and his wite are spending the time very quietly at the white house, varying the wonotony with an occasional drive out to the country seat, Oak View, where they :’llluwtmnunlly locate after the 1st of pril.

Almost daily there may be scen upon our streete at some publie corner, or in some grocery store whose accommodating owner has made room for him, some ond of th amusing street fakirs with an open-monthed erowd about him, attracted by his glib-told stories or by his sleigit of hand performances, which are given pre- liminary to an attempt to sell some quack medicine or other patent nostrum, Some of these fellows will chew cotton and breathe flame until their mouths ap- pear veritable Vesuvius in full eruption, and then sell a tooth wash that will make the blackest teeth a pearly white, and before your eyes will prove its upon the incisors of any of Others will make a stump upon any of the live topics of the day, introductory to the sale of another wash that will render all metals like burnished gold. Many others of these street fakirs are turning anin- dustrious penny with the phosphate buk- ing powders, and where permitted to take their stand in & grocery store will amuse the servant gi and the fun-lov- ing boys by the hour h their little gas stoves and their scientific gabble, show- ing the marvelous things their goods will do. But the work of the baking powder fakirs, though it has the same appear- ance of success as_that of their brothers upon the streets, is of the sarme delusive character. for the bisenits apparently so light and delictous will be found to have been made so at the expense of both cleanliness and wholesome: ., The claim of the fakirs that the tooth wash 18 perfectly harmless, that the patent gild- ng will retain its brilliant glosfi for months, and that the phosbato aking powders restore the heathfull phospates lost in the rgrinding of the flonr. and make wholesome bread, are equally romance. The boy whose teeth has been made so pearly white finds their enamel has been destroyed in the opera- tion; the girl whose nickel watch is rendered hrxfimt as burnished gold finds it irretrieyably beyond all polish on the morrow; and the housekeeper will find an equal misrepresentation with refer- ence to the biscuit, for the phosdate bak- ing powder from which it was made ap- parently so fair and {light, contained not a particle of the “Ilcullll-ul\'ing phos- phate derived from the grain of wheat,’” buv was made from phosphatic’ rock or bones gath- ered from the arbage dump and ground and treated with sulphuric acid. The fakirs, in baking and giving away biscuit and cake may scem to be doing aliberal ann expensive thing, but 1tis just the opposite, as the exceeding cheap- ness of the material they use, such as phosphate or alum, gives them vwhen they make a sale a protit of three hun- dred to five hundred pec cent, fully equalling the profits they realize when they again take a turn upon the street corner with their tooth wash or patent polish, Still, the street fakirs, whether selling tooth wash or phosphote baking powdar are amusing individuals and are propab- ly as harmless as many other less amus- ing impositions. = The South Omaha Land company have appointea C. E. Mayno sole agent for the sale of theirlots. He will show the prop- erty and furnish all desired information upon application. (Signed] W.A.

Patrons of cycling will be treated to an excellent entertainment on Saturday night at the exposition building, The first event will be o twenty-mile race be- tween Prince and Eck, who start from opposite sides of the rink. This will be something of an innovation and will doubtless prove a drawing feature. The second feature will be a twenty-mile race open to all comers for a purse of $100 of- fered by Prince. Dingley and Ashinger have already entered for this and Bullock will probably contest. ingley, who has always been a favorite with Omaha audiences, is in excellent trim, and 1s practicing d:\il{. He says that as this is probably the last race he will run in maha, he will show the people what he can do. Ashinger is also in good trim and, flushed by his success of last wecek, will make a great effort to win in this contest.

A motion was made to strike out the words in the by-laws Limiting the mem- bership of the association to residents of the state. ‘The motion, in accordance with the rules, was laid over for action at the next meeting. It is understood that a number of men who are regular shippers to the Nebraska markets, but who reside ontside of the state, ave de- girous of becoming members, Complaints were made that the unload- ing platform and chutes at the Omaha stock yards were not properly constructed and that the hogs were roughly handled and that a geod muny hogs were neces- sarily crippled. Tho following gentle- men were appointed a committee to wait upon the stock yards company and re- quest that certain abuses be remedied: Anderson, - Martin and Dailey, The committee also requested “to wait upon the packing house munagers and see 1f some arrangement could” not be made for the purchrse of the crippled hogs at prices more in accordance with the views of the shippers. The question discussed at the ing regarding the uction of cert mi st meet- n com- jon firms in sending out buyers to " regular shiprm came up agam. It urec to be the the unanimous opinion of the members of the association that any commission dealer who would be guilty of such practices ought not to be vatronized, The bond of the treasurer, H.

I can refer with pleasure to Albright’s Annex and Baker Place, as samplo il- lustrations. Lots in the “Annex” have quadrupled in value and are still advancing, while a street car line is already building past Baker Place, adding hun- dreds of dollars to the value of every lot. Albright’s Choice was se- lected by me with the greatest care after a thorough study and with the full knowledgo of its value, and I can consci- entiously say to those seeking a safe and profitable invest- ment that Albright's Choice offers chances not excelled in this market for a sure thing. Early investorshave already reaped large profits in CASH, and with the many important improvements contemplated, some of which are now under way. Every lot in this splen- did addition will prove a bo- nanza to first buyers. Further information, plats and prices, will be cheerfully furnished.
