A Misconstruction Placed Upon His Action in Attending a Non-Sec- tarian Charity Gathering— The Week's Doings. Foolishly Misconstrued. (Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Bekuiy, Jan. 7.—[New York Herald Cable Special to the Bre.]—The sensations this week have social ones. The attacks upon Prince William for attending the city mission meetings have almost given his good- natured visit the import of a great political event.

So if all goes well Prince Bismarck’s thunder may be soon dir against an unruly reichstag party of musical xperts acting with social democrats and nihilists to sccure the abolition of dress coats. Then if every plan of the most desperate musical circles succceds, some night Ber- liners will sce the Iron Prince in aslouct®hat and corduroys smoking a cob pipe in the Fremden Loge or some other very prominent opera box. No one has so far ac- cused Prince William of extreme picty and thelong-sustained angry yelping causedby his participation in the city mission meeting some weeks ago is not likely to inercase the prospect of piety as a profession, The city mission is a non-scctarian soeiety which supports between twenty and one hun- dred city missionaries in Berlin, Waldersee, who is o to cted Countess aleader in all good we is interested in this mission, ks, Princess Will- iam has also taken u considerable part n its work. The mission, being short of funds, cailed meeting at Count Waldersee's house as an attraction to rich snobs, and Prince William was induced to grace it with his presence. The only remarkable thing about this w that the princo should be good-humored enough to endure the boredum of a meeting without special interest to him. It happened, though, that Count Preacher Stoccker, a so- called Jew baiter, is at the head of the city mission, but as Le also leads a dozen othe religious benevolent movements, nobody al- leges that the city mission is anti-sematic or that there was any Jew baiting this special meeting. Nevertheless Stoocker is being the most hated man in Germany. His presence at the caused an almost unexampled ser meeting s of at- tacks on Prince William, in which conser tives as well as liberals joined. Part of this comes from the crown prince's well known dislike for Stoecker and the wild successive- ness of certain liberal scetions, which, in every action of Prince William, imagine they see an attempt to supplant the crown prince. The importance of these attacks are due only to the fear that they may irritate Prince William into allying himself with the unpopular party. This week he began to addresses of thanks from many cities and towns, numerously signed but unfortunately containing among others the names of those who are remnants of the anti-sematic pa Princess William has shown some special marks of favor to Pastor Stoecker at a public dinner. The prince has been told several times that all-wise policics are at first unpopular as has been especially shown in the cases of Bismarck and Emperor Wiliiam, whose quarrel gives a good idea of receive the differences between the crown prince and | his son and there is scething itement among those interested persons certain to be advanced by the crown prince if he lives to reign or be neglected 1if not worse by Prince William, Cold weather is hurrying somewhat the de- partures from Berlin of Americans.

Battle of New Orleans Comn orated in New York. New Youx, Jan. 7.—The battle of New Orleans, fought January S, 1815, was com- memorated to-night at the Hoffman house with a diuner given by the Business Men's ratic association. A hundred and ntlemen, including well-known demo- crats of this and adjomming states were present. After dinner came the toasts. The first was: “The President of the United States.” In response to ita letier was read from President Cleveland, He regretted that his duties prevented him from attending the dinner. In continu- ing he wrote: “The unniversary of a battle which illustrates the courage and military skill of Andrew Jackson should ve fittingly celebrated by an tion whose name in- dicates its belief in the political principles which he steadfastly maintained, The les- son of his rugged honesty and vigorous in- sistance upon right cannot be too often studied and infused. Tt is espeeially encour- aging to find business gien associated to- gether for the purpose of contemplating these things and advancing such political interests as seem nccessary to the prosperity of the country. No political thec is valuable unless it benefits, in its applica- cation, the business of ‘the people and when our business men engage more generally in politic ffairs we shall have safer and bet ter polities.” Letters of regret from members of the cabinet, Governor Fitz Hugh Lee of Vir. ginia, Governor S.D.

They know, also, that it s impossible to obtain from the powers a joint mandate. Baffled on these points, Russia will raise a new question on Austrian retention of Bos- nia and Herzegovina. These provinces were oceupied under a purely temporary title, but are now practically annexed. Austria will be called upon to evacuate them, and it is probable that the question of their future ad- ministration will be referred to a conference of the powers.
