An Interesting Cable Resume of What is Occurring Among the Actors ana Actresses of the Metrop- olis of the World, A Parliamentary Review. 1 [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett. | Lospoy, April 7.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to thel 1—Parliament has reassembled in the tamest way. No energy is shown in any direction, but of course the end of Baster week is scarcely a time to look for rigorous movements n politics. ITalf the members have not troubled themseives to come back. away yesterday, preparing for proclaimed demonstrations in . Ireland on Sunday. O'Brien, Dillon, and the warlike leaders gen- crally intend to force an issue with the gov- ernment, 8o that grave conscquences are ap- prehended. Mr. Dillon has announced his move. It is the resolution of yesterday pro- testing against the cost of the Irish constab- ulary, but he was away getting ready for Sunday. Biggar, the two O'Connors, and a few more hovered around the almost empty ‘benches, and if it had not been for them the government would have got vote after vote on the supply with unexampled rapidity. As it1s we are further in advance with this business than we were even in August of the last session. Labouchere was down to onpose several votes, but he too was absent, Bradlaugh was to make a raid upon the home secretary’s salary, but the chairman looked for him in vain. The government stole a march on its enemies by forcing important business at the close of holiday week, when the attendance was thin and uncertain. Labouchere was caught, napping. The liberal whips sceing so few of their men present tried to get a count out, but the ministry knew when they had a ood thing and made the most of it. About thirty heavy money votes have been sus- tained in two nights, an almost unprece- dented occurrence in recent years. So much for holiday making. The fact is that the utmost discontent ex- ists among Mr. Gladstone's followers, and it must make itself visible soon. There must be a fight now and then or the army gets lazy and disgusted. Mr. Gladstone has more than once told his friends lately that the government cannot be successfully attacked on any vital measure. ‘“We can do nothlng in this parliament,” he is reported to have said. “Our duty is to force a dissolution as Boon as we can,” but this is not easily done, and Mr. Gladstone's admission, if authentic, amounts to throwing up the sponge. He seems to be profoundly discouraged, even i he does not feel that for him at the struggle is over. The younger men naturally take a more hopeful view of affairs. They think that Wissensions may be sown in the ministerial ranks and that public opinion may be s up about new faxes, possibly about thie for ble suppression of meetings on Sunday. Therefore they have been holding a consul- tation and decided to get upa sortie some how, even if none of their leaders will head it for them, Harcourt may come to their aid, butit must be plainly stated that Gladstone shows no disposition for active operations. openly accepted the pr measures of the government. His fol- lowers have not. They must and ‘will strike out for themselves, as you will begin to discover next week. Should there be serious disturbance in Ireland, other questions will arise. Even on these, however, Gladstone will move reluctantly and cau- tiofsly, for the watchword, *“Remember Mitchellstown,” by no means produced the " effect Le anticipates in any cas The Irish representatives must be in the house on Monday, for the bill to give King Harmon £1,000 a year 1s put down for the first order of the day, and to that the whole body of Parnellites are most desperately op- posed. The government is adroit in making the bill the first order, for it may be called before four on Monday, and the nationalists ean scarcely get back from Iveland by that hour if they wait to look after the meetings on Sunday. This illustrates the immense labor and skiil which Parnell has so long ex- ercised in his parliamentary tactics. He could never afford to relax his vigilance. Events having now summoned many of his followers to Ireland the ministry take the opportunity to push on a bill which is more obnoxious to the notionalists than the coer- eion bill itself. A pledge was given that it should not be introduced this week, but to bring it out at an early hour on Monday is almost as bad for the Parnellites. It will be quite possible for a half dozen of them to keep discussion going for a few hours i)l their comrades arrive from Ireland, bnt they clearly caught at @ disadvantage. The bill will not be in its last stage on Monday and of course it will pass eventually, although @ good sprinkling of conservatives steadily decling to vote for it. Itis in this as in everything else in the present parliament—a majority of one bun- dred caonot be resisted. It is always an ample ' margin for the falling off occasionally of independent men who will not obey gvery crack of the party whip. The The nationalists were nearly all least He has ciple of three new men who will are quite numerous enough to pass all the ministerial measures, Isee no sign of serious opposition any- where to the conversion scheme, local gov- ernment bill or the budget. There are grumblers, but they are not numerous enough to make them formidable to the gov- ernment. Great is for Goschen_for converting the consol holders, but they had no choice, they must take the terms offered them for no other sources of investment are open to them. Pressure has been brought to bear from the government press, the bankers and all quarters, and the consol holder is forced to his knees, and that is called financial genius. It all counts to give credit to the ministry, Ritchie's bill is equally likely to be accepted, with some modifications in the clauses relating to the sale of intoxicating liquors. The republicans will carry most of their points, So far as appearances indicate a session of rapid work with an early adjournment is promised. In fact, even now we begin to talk of getting away in July. Whispers of Scotland actually begin to be heard in the lobbies, It seems to me very much like dreamland, but it will pass for reality if no great change happens between now and whitsuntide London’s week kas been filled with inte esting dramatic gossip, which Irving's a rival this morning has rounded oft.

He plays contin- wously Claude Melnotte, which he lately revived for the matinces. It has proved a great card. At mid-April he will produce Caine's new play, “The Deemster,” Bar- rett’s royalties are large. During a week thirty-four different companies were in the United Kingdow, the states and the colonies appearing in plays of which he is a part author. George Giddons has made a great hit and surprised his closest friends in a commedi- atta adapted from the French called, “Fen- nel,” whercin he arouses tears as a hunch- back from those who formerly laughed at his admirable farce. . A young actress named Margaret Ayr- town has suddenly bocome famous by her unanimously approved travestic in Bur- nand’s new piece, in which she is without apparent conscience 1n appearance, action and mannerism. She is tho very double of Mrs. Bernard Beers, who next Autnmn pro- fessionally visits New York. The week has witnessed the return of Vio- let Cameron from Lane, courts and magis- trates, to the avenue theater stage of comic opera, but with indifferent success. Her husband haunts the pit with loving glances toward the footlights, but with looks of hatred @t the watchful policemen in the lobby. Mr. and Mrs. Kendall, still intending to visk an American tour, are rehearsing Lov- ell’s play, *“The Wife's Secret,” which used to delight New York graudfathers at old Wallack’s, when Charles Kean and Kllen Tree were the toads of the club.

The Wnights and the RBrotherhood Kiss and Make Up. New Yonk, April 7.—|Special Telegram to the Ber.]—A Herald special from Scranton, Pa. says: Asaresultof the recent confer- ences between General Master Workman Powderly and representatives of the Broth- hood of Locomotive Engineers, the Herald correspondent is justified in _stating that a friendly fecling has been established between the knights and engineers hy which fu- ture antagonism between these organiza- tions will be averted. “‘An injury to one will be the concern of the other,” and provisions will be made to prevent the brotherhood men taking the places of knights on strike and vice versa. The committee that recently came here from Chicago to wait on General Master Workman Powderly had a_letter of introduction from Chief Arthur, and when they were going away Powderly gave them a lotter to the chief of the brotherhood, as- suring him and his order of cordial sympathy and support. Powderly stated to corre- spondent that such was the case, and that an understanding mutually advantageous to both organizations would soon be reached. When asked if it was true that he had or- dered out the Knights of Labor on the “Q" road, Mr. Powderly said: “There is no truth n that statement. 1 was waited on by a committee representing the brotherhood,who came on from Chicago, and the calling out of the employes who are Knights of Labor was not spoken of or hinted at. The main ques- tion diccussed was the stoppage of the Knights of Labor who went from the east to take the places of the engincers on the “'Q road. 1 explained to the committee that it was a difiicult thing to reach these men or in- fluence them in any way, for the reason that they had violated their obligations as Knights of Labor by taking the step they did. I told them that it was unfortunately true that the relations between the knights and the broth- erhood had been strained somewhat previous to the Burlington strike, and for that some of the former would feel justitied in the course they were pursuing. 1 also explained to them that many of the men who claimed to bo Knignts of Labor and took the place of the Burlmgton engineers had _never been members of our organization. 1 have taken pains to sum up the number of men reported to have gone from Reading to the “Q" road, and a_careful compilation shows that 3,000 men, all of them engincers, and all of them claiming_to be Knights of Labor, passed through Pitts 1t is also reported that no less than 2,000 passed through Buffalo, while other large centers, through which the men had to pass, would, no doubt, raise the total number to something like 20,000 men. The truth of the matter 1s that all these re- ports are grossly exaggerated and that not over 150 knights, all told, have gone out to the “Q”" road, and over one-half of them have returned to their homes. 1naeed, I do not see how & man who has taken the pledge of the Knights of Labor could put himself in charge of Pinkerton’s agents, for if there is @ creature that crawls upon tne face of the ecarth that o Knight of Labor should despise 1t is a Pinkerton detective. 1 have addressed o letter to the Knights of Labor along the Burlington road, advising them to meet with our erring knights and ask th rn to their homes.” ngements been entered into Kuights of Labor and the brotherhood for a union of intercsts: ““Well, yes. Itis agreed thut when this strike is over there is to be an effort made to have the brotherhood and the Kuights of Labor come to an understanding as to a_ set- tlement of all disputes in the future, A great many of the misunderstandings of the past have resulted from a failure of the o ganizations to come together. Had the chicfs of the brotherhood and the Knights of Labor been on as good terms as_they should have been, and had they wnderstood each other as they will in the future, persons who did not_belong to either organization could not paim themselves off as taking revence for a past injury when a dificulty occurs.” The Men Firm at Lincoln.

The “Star” and the “Buzz Saw" Have a Round in Court, Sr. Joseen, Mo., April 7.—|Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—The Sam Reid Tobacco company moved from Chillicothe to St. Joseph about nine months ago, and immedi- ately commenced the manufacture of chew- ing tobacco on an extended scale. The brand which met with the largest sale was the “Buzz Saw,” which on account of the color and a tin star which was stamped on each 10-cent plug so closely resembled the brand, manufactured by Liggett & M St. Louis, that it was impossible for ihe pur- chaser to tell the difference between them. Suit was brought before Judge Spencer in Chambers to-day, and a temporary injunction granted restraining the Sam Reid company from the further manufacture of the toba until the case is finally decided.

Pews to Be Sold at the Rate of One Thousand Dollars Each to American Colleges — Gos- sip From Berlin, Crimination and Recrimination. | Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Benwiy, April 7.—[New York Herald Cable ~—Special to the Bee.]—The German poli- tical pot is boiling at & furious rate, yet so noiselessly that only an occasional lid 1ifts to disclose the seething hatred and jealously which the pot contains. Once in a while some ill advised liberal paper bitterly attacks the crown prince. One such paper even in- sinuates his recent famous army corpsspeech in praise of Bismarck was unauthorized, playing to the aristocratic boxes, and in- tended to create such a wave of enthusiasm for the chancellor as would reduce the sick emperor to a nullity in his own administra- tion. To this one conservative paper retorts it is disgraceful to have an address to the empress carried for signature from house to house by persons as persistent and trouble- some as book agents. Privately the most scandalous and shameless stories are eagerly circulated. The lower classes will believe such inventions, when the Prussian news- papers openly attack their crown prince and the empress. Very little knowledge of Ger- many is needed to understand the bitterness of the struggle going on. Doctor MacKenzie is gradually having jus- tice done his skill and ability, though the more this is shown the more a certain por- tion of the people hate him. Of late he has been cheered repeatedly by Berlin crowds, and dined by Berlin surgeons. Could he guarantee the emperor five years of life, then much of the present excitement found would ceuse and there would be an end to the irritat- ing occurrences which tend to keep alive and increase the discontent with the new order of affairs. The truth is the people miss the constant watchful ness of the old kaiser, and feel all the chunges brought about by the change of administration, because with the new ruler has come at first a tightening of the governmental coils of red tape. Time has been found for instance. to change the name of the new palace at Potsdam to Castle Frederick, but the police are still allowed to keep the emperor’s loyal subjects far away from his Charlottsburg palace, and through- out Prussia, on the pretense of national mourning, the police forbade the simplest extent which must sleep restled ecaster festivities to an make the dead kaise .

It Occurs in Secret and Little Can Be Learned About It. NEW Yonk, April 7.—One of the queerest episodes that ever oceurred in this city was the funeral of Jacob Sharp, which occurred at 8:80 o'clock this evening at his late resi- dence. The utmost secrecy marked all the arrangements, and no one was allowed to enter the house except by invitation espe- cially sent by the family. Even the visitors had evidently been instructed not to give.any information about the affair, and when ques- tioned denied that the funeral was taking place. ninl. S co il Army Orders.

IT STIRS UP THE PRUSSIANS. The Berlia Press Reticent Over the General Discord. MANY OTHER COURT INTRIGUES, Count Von Moltke Refuses to Preside Over the C mission on Refors inthe Army-—Overhauling Appointments, Bismarck Overruled. [Copyright 188 by New York Associated Press.] Beruis, April 7.—Prince Alexander, of Battenberg, came to Charlottenberg Thurs. day and his betrothal to the Princess Vie toria takes place early in June. Prince Bis marck withdrawn his recognition solely from the consideration that the proposed marringe of the Princess Victoria would lead 1o a speedy break-up of German unity, Nothing since the accession of Emperor Frederick has occurred that has so strongly indicated the feeling of the Prussian con- servatives against the empress as to the marriage question. All of the radical news- papers treat the Battenberg question with disdain as of no consequence to the Germen policy, and ignore the fact that Battenberg is only one chord in the general discord struck by the party of the empress. The re- ticence of the Berlin press in referring to the court intrigues has been greater tham was required by deference to the emperor and the leading officers of the state. The Battenburg marriage has become almost w minor incident in court intrigues, Among other successful schemes, the emperor has been induced to send to Count Von Moltke & series of statements on the condition of the army, followed by a request that tho general be present at the meetings of the commission on reforms in the army. Count Von Moltie replied it would be impossible for him te ptesiae over the commission without knows ing how it was cons:ituted and what reforms were desired. Consequently the commission has been dropped. Another move of the party of the empress is to overhaul the diplomatic appointments, To-night's National Zeitung says: - “Circumstances may arise under which Bis- marck will no longer oppose the union. This, it may be, would mean the postponement of affairs until the political objections now raised shall cease to operate. The visit of the queen of England to Chariottenburg there- fore will take place as arranged, but the betrothal will not publicly be brought for- ward. This is the official statement and sim- ply means that Bismarck's advice has been overruled. “The queen of England comes here with her Battenberg proteges to carry out her family projects without regard for the sentiments of the German nobility or German peo- ple, and ecqually regardless that her daughter, the empress, thwarts the Minister Bismarck, who s, and without whom im-" might cease to be. Bis- marck, w Lis position, does not rely on the military party.. He has the support of the nd of the royal heads of the ation, He is really master of the situation.” To-day's bulletin says the malady from which the emperor is suffering now appears to be moving from the back of the larnyx more to the front, which is regarded by the physicians as a favorable symptom, because the danger of the discase attacking the wsophagus will be thus averted, The empress will go to Posen on Monday to inquire into the condition of the sufferers by the floods, Dreadful accounts have been received from Posen. Two hundred and fifty villages are in ruins and 1,500 persons are without shelter. When the dykes at W gave way a large number of lives were lost. The loss of live stock is incals culable.
