[hey, Exist at the Present Time Between Germany and France, DIPLOMATIC PROTESTS MADE The Relations Betwern Russia and Germany are Quite Straincd—Bou- langer Writes a Letter Which Causes a Sensation, France Germany and Russia, LCopyrsyht 1587 by New York Associated Press.] BerviN, July 16,—The tension of feeling toward France has relaxed since the French fete day has passed without the occurence of any anti-Gerinan demonstration. The ac- counts in the German papers of incidents in Paris on Thursday represent that the repres- slon of » popular outburst was solely accom- plished by the presence of such mases of troops all along the route traveled by President Grevy and his ministers on their way to the reviewat Long Champ, as had never been seen in Paris since the days of the Empire, and the papers seem toprove that the populace were In readiness to make a demonstration, and that the extraordinary precautions taken by the governinent, although successtul in paralyzing the Chauvinists, had given a fectitious asyect to the calmness which char- nacterized the day. The (German ambassy in Paris was specially guarded. ‘I'he return to the German people of a calmer mood toward France can be assured, however, only by the cessation of asyStematic persecution of German residents in French towns, vet the tendency seems to be all the other way. Minor German employes are being hurited out of their places at the rate of one hundred weekly, and it is estimated that Germans holding situations in France, who last year numered 32,000, have been decreased one-half within the past six mont Constant _ streams of appeals °for help against the outrages being perpetrated upon the Germans are being made to the German ambassay at Parls. These appeals were made the subject of an oral diplomatic representation to M. Florens, the foreign minister, by Count VonMunster on Wednesday last. The count has followed his oral representation with a written re- monstrance to which the French minister, M. Florens, will have to make a written reply. Minister Florens 18 also asked by Count Von Munster if his government is powerless to deal with the organ of the Boulangerists, the Le' Defenese National, which declared that the German functionaries in France wereall sples, that the central nest of reptiles was the German ambassy, and that Count Von Munster him- selt was under the direction of aspy adminis- tration. Florens has made verbal promise to interfere and use every power of the government to prevent assaults on the Germans In the future. Since Count Von Munster made these re- monstrances the German consulate at Bor- deaux and Rouen report street attacks upon Germans in those cities, and the Bordeaux eonsul complains that the windows of his residence have been smashed. German papers of every party concur in the opinion that the situation is intolerable,and that it s absolutely necessary for the French govern- ment to interpose resolutely to stop German * baiting,” RUSSIA AND GERMANY. The chief topic of interest in Berhin after the French situation is the unceasing depre- ciation of Russian stocks. The fact is now recognized by both political and financial circles that the movement is not led by the speculators, but has definite official Inspira- tion and is a part of the government cam- paign of retaliation against the Russian and anti-German economy policy. During the last fortnight the fall in Russian securities of all issues averaged daily 6 per cent. The return to economic friendship will not be as- sisted by the latest Russian order dismissing all Germaus employed in commereial and banking firms In the region of 8t. Petersburg, Moscow and elsewhere in Russia, nor by the government’s refusal to adopt the concurrent edict of the professor of Dorpat’ university, that it would be un- ‘wise henceforth to conclusively use the Rus- slan language in classes, which refusal caused the proressors withont exception to resign. The enforcement of the govern- ment's edict will be postponed for thirty- one years, but after that the last German school in the Baltic rovinces must be extinguished.

WAS THE ENGINEER TO BLAME. The Coroner Undecided About Hold- ing an Inquest--Sunstroke and Morphine Do Deadly Work at Holdrege. The Wreck's Fatal Results, LiNcoLN, Neb, July 16.—|Special Tele- gram to the B —Dr. Max Randall, the man so terribly burned in the B. & M. wreck, near this place yesterday, died at 4 p. m. at the Tremont house after thirty-six hours of intense suffering. By the dead man’s side lays his son, burned and swollen beyond recognition, unconscious and undoubtedly slowly dying also. At 10 o'clock to-night the boy 18 yet alive, but the physicians hold forth scarcely no hope. ‘I'he relatives, who were summoned by telegraph, surrounded the bedside of the dead and the dying, and the scene was heartrending. The Bere called at the coroner's office and found the ofticial undecided as yet as to holding an in- quest, but it Is probable that one will be held. Public opinion demands it, and on every hand the sentiment is that the fear- tul accident should be probed to the bottom, Either the engineer ot the train is guilty of manslaughterthrough erl elessness or the railroad company is guilty of working its men beyond huu ndf 1n the afternoon the company had an investigation of its own, and it is understood that En- gineer Bowser, of the regular train, is given the blame, but an investigation of that kind investizates nothing, and the public know it, and the public further demand that t buried secretsof the corporation be uncov- ered, It is the almost universal opinion that Engineer Bowser was asleep at his post, for he BAW neither the signal at the station of Havelock and saw not the train ho ran into, althouzh the track was as straight asan arrow for miles. The conductor of the train saw the signal and with the brakeman set fifteen brakes on the rear of the train before the crash came, but received no help from the engineer, The prevailing opinion is also that the train men in many instances are worked beyond human endur- ance, and the public seem to believe this a case of that character. The anpln in dis- cussing the matter beileve and speak out that a good Intelligent jury should be summoned by the coroner and put the responsibility where it belongs without the railroad com- {mu being judge and *ury and custodian of he facts themselves, The good of the pub- lic and of every railroad man is realized to be at stake in this accident, and if it is not fixed to the bottom there will bea stormn of indignant protests that will not down at the pleasure of the railroad management. ‘The people of Lincoln waut the truth known, and if the coroner should fail to hold an in- quest it may be expected that Judge Mason, as one of the railroad commission, will take the matter in charge. Nothing for some time in the capital city has created so much discussion as the tragic death of Dr. Randall and the alinost equally certain death of bis son by eremation in a wreck for whici En- gineer Bowser or the railroad company is directly responsible. el The Long Pina Chautauqna.

We have had as hot weather betore, but never for 80 long a time at once. We have hot weather every summer in Chicago, but then it generally lnsts for only two or three days ata time. The changes here are usually fre- quent, and when a hot spell strikes us it 1s usually over before we have ot to realize that it is here. This spell is different in that respect. Indeed, it is unprecedented. It is the hottest time Chicago has ever had for 50 long a term, and what is more, there are no indications of any let up. It was hot- ter to-day than yesterday, and to-morrow will probably be as hotas to-day. We may possibly get a shower by to-morrow night that may cool it off =a little, but 1 would mot like to guarantee even that. We had something like this during the summers of 1573 and 1874, and again in 1881, but the spells of hot weather then were not so long-continued as this one has been, A cool spell this summer has been the exception, while heretofore the hot spells have been the exception.

Some of the leading operators are away on their summer vacations, and tuat also cur tails trading. Earnings for the leading railroads are well maintained for the season ot the year, but their stocks do not appear to bo very tractive to speculators.

Are rivals of grain at the principal western mar- kets have been comparatively light while the shipmente have been guite liberal. The exs port movement Is well moinfained in botn grain and provisions with prospects that they will be continued for some time at least. Arrivals of live stock have noa been qujte s@ liberal, which may be due to the fact that: farmers in some sections are now busily enw. f;m.«l in harvesting operations.
