A Famous Vienna Sclentist at Death's Door—FPope and King Favor a Keconciliation—Father Kellar's Itelease. The Berlin Budget. [Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.] BenriiN, May 21.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Brr]—We have had during the past week a crisis in the wool trade. The Post, the semi-official gov- ernment organ, has distinctly threatened France with war If she allows Boulanger to mobilize an army corps. The North German Gazette, the official government paper, has equally distinctly branded the statement of the Czar of Russia’s personal orzan as “‘being aninvention.” There have been eleven sui- cides in a single day in Berlin, and the pa- pers announce, with a leaded head-line, the arrival here of the great American king, who halls trom tbat center of horticulture, St. Louis—altogether quite a series of events for the week in which mnothing occurred worth remembering. A RUICIDAT, EPIDEMIC, The epidemic of suicides which began with the spring has reached startling proportions and attracts general attention. Berliners are slow to confess that the hard times cause all this trouble or that Berlin lifeis so demoral- izing Germans to such & frightful extent. I see everywhere comments on the number of suicldes, but no very plausible explanation. A WILD NEW,PAPER WAR, The fight between the Moscow Giazette and the North German Gazette, backed by their respective governments, has finally reached the stage which marks the beginnings of un- ofticial Arizona journalistic disputes. Kat- Kkoff has been called a liar. As Katkoff seems to have the czar closely behind him. Berlin walted for a while in some dread lest the sky shouid fall upon the daring German Gazette. However, It all seems to have ended more peacefully than similar quarrels in less ex- alted newspaper circles, There is still a rumble of “1 did, you didn’t,” but no one seems to be much hurt, not even the Austro- Hungarian ofticials who were the chiet peo- ple compromised by the Gierman revelations regarding the Austrian secret treaty with Russia for the partition of turkey. A LITTLE RELAXATION, ‘The spring parades and sham battles con- tinue to form the center of interest, but the wet weather kept away the Kaiser crowd of lookers which his presence always attracts. Wednesday we had a glimpse of the ease with which severe German discipline is thrown aside. Twelve hours of steady rain made the parade ground in the outskirts of Berlin so deep with mud that after hours of drill in the heavy rain the idea of holding the sham battle was abandoned. Then the driz- ling, wet battalion marched through Berlin singing patriotic songs in decidedly lusty volces. 'The discipline seemed to be none the worse bff for this breach of discipline. Certalnly both soldiers and people felt greater confidence in the German army atter seeing the regiments march past, dripping and muddy, step and line strictly main- tained, but officers and men sinzing together at the top of their voices. A NEW TELEGRAPHIC DISEASE. A well-known medical man states the dis- covery of a new disease firmly established among telegraph operators, but fortunately confined to them, The continual tapping on the telegraph key causes the operator’s finger nails to drop off. Beveral cases of this new disease have been already noted among the older Berlin operators, but whether It is in- fectious or likely to spread among non-tele- graph people has not yet been determined. SKIPPING WITH BOODLE, Frenchmen or Germans warned to leave the frontiers of either nation are spoiling thelr respective Egyptians by concealing the fact they had police warning until they bor- rowed all the money or valuables they were able to get, and crossed the border with the booty. The Germans in the annexed provinces, it is sald, suffered so much by this trick that it is proposed to give immediate publicity to the fact when any one is ordered out of German territory. MODERN HISTORY NOT TAUGHT. Considerable surprise was created all through Germany by the recent discovery that the schools which educate the bulk of the German children teach German history only up to the year 1813, so that all con- temporaneous history remains nnknown to these children practically. It Is found that many scholars well informed regarding the former German empire know almost noth- ing regarding the new united Germany. A CIROUMSPEOT SILENCE. Germany Awaiting the Outcome of the Krench Cabinet Orisis. Copyrighted 1857, by the N. ¥. Associated Press.] Berriy, May 21.—Pending the issue of the cabinet crisis at Paris, ofticial opinion here maintains a circumspect silence. The North German Gazette rofrains from giving more than meager dispatches concerning the de- velopments in France. A frank expression of ofticial hopes would have the effect of strengihening General Boulanger's party and weakening the opportunists, who are working to oust him. The government re- celves full advices respecting every phase of the ministry negotiations at Elysee. ‘I'he latest dispatches indicate that Boulanger’s position is unshaken, and thata Rouvier- De Freycinet ministry is likely to be formed, which will adopt Boulanger's plans to at- tack Germany, Whatever may be the char- acter of the next French minlstry, the crisis has strengthened the war party in Germany, and the war spirit of the people. AT DEATH'S DOOR. A Famous Physician's Life in Danger— Other Vieuna News, (Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.) VIENNA, May 2L.—[New York Herald Cable—Speecial to the Bk, | —The treacherous winds which blow over here have killed a good many people tnis week. Before this reaches you Professor Billeroth may be added to the list of the victims. He has long been suffering from fatty deceneration ot the heart, and caught a cold the other day, Bron- chitis followed, and for days he has been . lying petween life and death. Yesterday, when it was sad the end was at hand, he took & colm but affecting farewell of his friends and family. One of the five phy- sicians attending hiwm tried to cheer him with the hope of recovery, but he only swiled Incredulously and exclaimed: “You know as well as 1 do that you can’t eure this bronchitia” To-day, however, there is a slight lmprovement and still a siender chance that the great surgeon may be spared to science.

There 1s a real wish that both sid es come to an understanding, and the prob- ability of an eventual reconciliation grows stronger month by month. Powerful influ- ences are paving the way in both camps. ‘The premier depicts himself as anxious for an arrangement, if, indeed, not endeavoring to effect it. Crispl, though not exactly a friend of the vatican, would not oppose any offer for patehing up the- quarrel if while saving the dignity of the pope It zave no of- fense to Italian patriotism. The pope and the king have every willingness to join hands and forget, but the reconciliation formula has yet to be discovered. For the present the vatican thinks it politic to show no official eager: 1n the matter and avoids oven giving written answers to the well- meant proposals which Signor Fadazari, the Italian deputy, and other neutral politicians, have lately addressed to the vatican. The poliey of the vatican, summed up 1n a few words, is that Rome can wait. VIENNA IN 178 SUMMER GARB. Vienna has its usual summer look already. ‘The kaiser and court have deserted it for the country, and suburban beer gardens are crowded nightly by tens of thousands of melomaniacs. There would a pretty to do hereif any legislature even hinted at forbid- ding them taking their beer with their Bee- theoven, but though this is a retrograde coutry, no legislature would dream of such madness. People who drink In lager and music seldom made revolutions, and Aus- trian statesmen know it. A DRAMATIC CURIORITY. A dramatic curiosity is the production at the Loafburg theater of “Nicholas Guggles,” the far-famed comedy ot Dr. Rauser. As a merciless satire on the corruptions of Rus- sian officlals it has a deep Interest to stud- ents, but as an acting play it is a failure, Much of the satire can ouly be enjoyed in Russia. In this comparatively virtuous at- mosphere it misses fire, at least so say the Vinnese critics. A SCIENTIST’S CORDIAL RECEPTION. Professor Gray, who is here on a visit, is being made much ot by his fellow scientists. On dropping into the university to attend a lecture he was introduced to the students in terms most trying to his modesty., The students received him with a chorus ot prosits, which was renewed when he left the legture hall.

CoLUMBUS, Neb,, May 24.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—Edward Hillaker, of Ma- pleton, la., was run over by a team to-day, driven by a drunken driver, and had his left shoulder broken and was severely bruised about the chest and body by the tongue of the wagon striking him. ~ Hillaker saw some children belonging to & camp of immigrants in the course of the team and stepped in front and succeeded in turning the team, but with the above results to himself. Dr. Schug, the ullendms{ physician, says it will be some time before he recovers from the in- Jjuries and shock received. track, the remaining one showing up briskly. Ross suffered a great deal with his feet, but he had the pluck and did some of his best work in the last two hours, Among the first to congratulate O'Leary on his success in winning the race was Hon. John Fitzgerald, who has watched the contest with a groat deal of interest. Huffman to all ap- pearances was a worm man, but he walked on his nerve to the finish. O'Leary and Hart were as fresh at the close as at the com- mencement. One of the features of the evening was the hour's contest for a gold medal between the city editor of the News and the city editor of the Democrat. Each of the boys had num- erous admirers and and the race was won by Carr of the News, his record being six miles even, with the Democrat man one lap behind him. Mr. Shriver, the manager, has hanaled the contest with en- tire satisfaction to all, and, with the excep- tion of the scoring, which was open criticisin owing to looseness, the entertaininent was faultless. files of sev overnment departments, and in some cases from statements voluntary brought to me by parties.

A Harrison Supporter. WASHINGTON, May 21.—(Special Telegram to the Bre.—Congressman Owen, who has been here several days, left for his home in Indiana to-night. Being asked before leav- ing what he thought of the republican chunces for 1888, Mr. Owen said: *Itis difficult to predict what the resuit of the con- vention will be, but there is one thing cer- tain, Indiana will be solid for Harrison in the convention, and while the prospects tor his nomination now seem remote, there is certainly a strong chance that the trend of public sentiment mnay be in his direction. In the first place the mugwump element is still opposed to Blaine, and if he is again noml- pnated the mugwumps of New York and Massachusetts will oppose him, and they may endanger the republican chances in these states. Then, too, the greenback ele- ment in the republican party is still onposed to Sherman because of the feeling of opposi- tion to his financial policy which still exists among them, The mugwumps will not op- pose Gieneral Harrison unless they are de- termined to stay out ot the republican party forall time, The greenback republicans, too, while they regard Harrison as a hard money man, have not that feeling of opposi- tion to him which they have towards Mr. Sherman. A canvass of the states at the timeof the convention will reveal Indiana as a pivotal state. While L belleve he will be the candidate they will name, General Har- rison at the head of the ticket will give us 150,000 ajority, and save the national elec- tion.” The Evidence Insufficient. WASHINGTON, May 21.—[Special telegram to the Bek.]—Secretary Lamar to-day de- cided in the claim of Mrs. Barah F.
