B'S IN EUROPEAN POLITICS. Boulanger, Blsmarck and Battenberg Rule the Day. FRENCH ELECTION EXCITEMENT, Dr. Mackenzie's Hopeful View of the Kaiser's Health—Gillig's Amer- fcan Exchange in Ligquida- tion—Foreign Cables. As Seen Across the Channel. Loxnos. April 18.—[Special Cablegram to the Ber.]—There is still nothing but Bou- langer and Bismarck in the European papers. Reports from the department of Nord show that the electoral campaign there has reached fever hemt. Mectings are being held every- where, and theyare generally attended by scencs of excitement and turbulence with a | vast amount of noise, the singing of the, “Revenant Revue” and wild interruptions. The current seems to be running steadily in the direction of Boulanger. The bulk of his yote will be cast by the Bonapartists, who of themsclves are in a majority in the depart- ment. He is also supported by the radicals 8s o body and by a certain section of the socialists, The opposition to him has crys- talized around what is known as the opportunists, but probably contains a good many legitimist Oricanists, in odd con- Junction with the larger and ultra wing of the anarchists. Every Boulangist speech is made up of equal parts of culogy of Boulanger and at- tacks on Jules Ferry. These latter never faii to be received with deafening yells of “ABas lo Tonkinois.” A study of these speeches and the popular interjections help to solve the problem why Boulanger is so much stronger in rural France than in Paris. The country is deeply interested in the army, which annually drains off the pick of its sons, andhates Jules Ferry because ho sent’ these sons todie and suffer in Asia, while it loves Boulanger because he, as minister of war, tried to make their military services more comfortable. Busy, volatile Paris does not especially miss those of its children who are drafted oft into the ranks, or pay special heed to them when they return. But it is different in the villages and on the farms. Nothing is talked of in French political circles but Sunday’s election and what will follow its expected result. There are all sorts of rumors of Boulanger’s intentions. The most circumstantial is he will take his place in the chamber, make a speech de- manding the dissolution of the chamber and a revision of the constitution, and then resign and stand for the next vacancy, repeating these tactics till the dissolution is forced, when he will run in every department pnd secure the popular vote. Already in various departments 230,000 votes have been cast for him. The dolmrtmcnl of Nord: will raise this to nearly 400,000. All this has suddenly become gravely ominous for the republic. Bismarck has net won his fight. This is evident from the fact that he gives no word of rebuke to his infatuated partisans of Brestan, Leipsig nnyrcsden who are hold- ing meetings and" circulating petitions asking the kaiser on no oceasion to lose the services of the chan- ellor. Such an agitation s unworthy of the great man, as it is unneard of ina monarchical country. It is noteworthy that the national liberal party is foremost in this undignified work. There are no trustworthy accounts of the progress of the dispute inside the palace of Charlottenburg, but there is a growing be- lief that Bismarck will get the worst of the contest, and a well-defined rumor that Prince Hohenlohe Stradthelder of Alsace-Lorraine, has been offercd the post of chancellor in succession to him. There are numerous signs also going to confirm the existence of a tedious political divergence between the Xkaiser and the chancellor. The count of Paris was in London to-day. I understand that there is going to be a family conclave of the Orleans family at Sheen house, Twickenham, on Sunday, to settle the attitudes of the princes toward Boulanger, and 1 am informed that it will be attended by n man who has close relations with Boulanger and is in his confidence. Hopeful View of the Kaiser Case, Copamight 1688 by James Gordon Bennett.] BexLiy, April [New York Herald Cable—Special to the Br 1 am informed by an entirely trustworthy person, who has just had a long cony on with Sir Morell Mackenzie, that the emperor’s favorite phy- sician talked freely and hopefully about his patient. What he is about as follows: “Notwithstanding all that has been said, there is no certainty that the disease is cancer, and it is almost certain the emperor will live longer than 1s ally thought possible, Prof. Waldeyer, it clared the easo to be cancer, but in his microscopic ex- amination he found nothing more than Vir- chow found, and Virchow decided against tho cancer theory. When Virchow and Walde- yer disagree the rest of us have a right to uso our own judgment, I, for iy part, have never said to anyone that the diseess is e cer. Those who most firmly maintain the eancer ii urgeon’s like Prof. Berg- man, vriinout special skill or experience in throat discases, and who have for the most part earned their reputation on the battlefield, where there is little chance of obtaining skill m treating the throat. As opposed to current opinion, one of the greatest authorities on the throat recently carefully examined my patient aud declared be cannot find & trace of cancer. 1f the disease is not cancer, however, it cannot be taken for granted that the danger is past. It is impossible to state how long his majesty can live, We know that there is not the slightest trace of disease below the incision in the throat. 1f the emperor could have re- mained in San Remo he would now, in all probability, be far advanced toward recov- ery. His strength, as it is, he weakened by lack of fresh air. The oraugery in which ho got his only exorcise during the cold weather s a suniess apology for a conservatory and lighted only from one sids, Jvevertheless, I am 80 Coionted with his condition that I re- main in Berlin only by the emperor's special request because, like many other pa- tients, he learned to trust one physi- cian and s reassured by his pres ence. For this reason I shall re turn to bim after my trip to London, As I shall come back whother my patient is better or wo noed not ex pect i worse simply because I do return. TPhere is no truth in the stories regarding periodicity in this throat trouble. There are ups and downs of course, as with all patients, but it passes human skill to p ot either. The emperor eats solid food 1 the ordinary way, and does not, as the newspapers seem #0 think, depend either upon liguids or upon finely ehopped up solid. The substance of the above can absolutely e depended upon, though I cannot, ohoulse under the circumstances, guarantee tk Morrell's exact words are used. The sion from hatred for Sir Morrell Mackenzi to- admiration for bhim and his gelentific ncquirements is a very striking tribute to him as a man and as a special mouth ago theére were some people who hought he would never got out of Berlin alive; now that the veaction bas cowc, the fdoctor's only danger comes from German oooking.

He was playing at the Princess theater, Melbourne, in the opera of “Faust,” and the character he personated was Mephistopheles, The fiend and Faust have to descend on a slide and disappear from the stage to those regions that Dante has described with so much effect. When Mr, Frederici's head was almost on a level with the footlights he must have felt a mortal pang, for he was seen 1o grasp at the edge of the open stage, and a moment after he fell from the moving trap on which he was stand ing and expired. When he was borne to the green room the verdict was death from heart disease. Another dramatic.incident occurred at the funeral: ‘The body was being interred in the Church of England portion of the general cemetery, where a grave was prepared close to those of other actors, and Rev. T. H. Good- win was present to conduct the service. After the completion of the second prayer, and whilst the cofin was being lowered, the reverend gentloman, who from the outset ex- hibited great emotion, sank on the mound. Many thought he simply did it to rest, but those near observed that he had fainted. He could not continue the service, which was concluded by Mr. Charles Warner, the well known actor. He was an Englishman, thirty-eight years of age, and 'eaves a widow, Miss L. Men- moutn, of the same company, and two chil- dren. Gillig's American Exchange Fails, Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett. | Lospox, April 18.—[New York Herald Cable--Special to the Bee.]—The head of the firm of Cooper Brothers, professional ac- countants, 14 George street, London city, was this morning appointed professional liquidator of Gillig’s American exchange by Justico Stirling, of the high court judiciary. Aftidavits disclosed that its business con- sted of three branches—1, a banking busi- ness; 8, reading rooms; and 8, storage offices. 1In connection with the first branch letters of credit were still in circulation and though it is mot proposed to issue more, it is necessary some one should look after the drafts now coming in and also to deep the reading rooms open for a time bo- cause of the inconvenience to customers if they could not get letters which were being forwarded to them at the rooms. Tt is like- wise requisite to keep the storage office open until the articles stored therein had been ap- plied for. Tt is timely, perhaps, to add thata great opportunity exists for such an institu- tion in London, conducted by a reputable person for the benefit of tourists and not for his own. One such ought to bring a good profit. The liquidating exchauge was founded upon a prior one, which disastrously failed also on the peculiarities of its banking man- agement. They Have No Love For Gould. Loxpox, April 13.—[New York Herald Cuble—Special to the Bre.]—The Financial News copied this morning the entire editorial on Gould in the Herald of April3. When the usual crowd came around to Capel Court and the Bartholomew house in Throckmorton street, nearly everyonehad a copy of it. The Anglo-American Times of to-day, a weekly much read for its stock news of Wall strect, thus comments: “One of the most amusing hunts of the time promises to be that of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas vond and stockhoiders after a $2,000,000 surplus that existed a year ago and has m, teriously disappeared. Th vonder wl has become of it, and are organizing a to find out, as well as to learn the causes of the remarkuble depreciation of their securi- ties. It is time the hunt began, but the idex of looking around for a $2,000,000 surplus af- ter Jay Gould has hovered about it for a long time will strike most people as funny.” He is at present as much sed here as one the four political busy of Europe— Balfour, Boulanger, Bismarck and Batten- berg. S RIS Concerted Opposition Proposed. Loxnox, April 13.—|Special Cablegr: the Bre]—At a meeting of the Natio Liberal club to-day, Right-Hon. James Stans- field presuding, it was resolved to urge the government to extend debate in the commons on the local government bill. John Morlin undertook to move the reso- lution in the house. All the speakers cx- pressed the opinion that the fecling was growing, especially the rural districts, that the bill was a sham ank tory measure, and that its ap democratic character was the yencc which at first deceived the eye. Prof. Stewart said the fat that the bill omitted to deal with out door chiofs while it proposed compensation of publicans, was nt to warrant a strong cunoeiiion to 1ts adoprion. A committee was appointed to arrange for concerted action by the liberal party in opposition to the bill.

James Russell Lowell Discourses on the Independent in Politios. POLITICIANS OF THE FUTURE. J. 8. Olarkson Insists That Towa's Del- egates Will Give Allison Their Unwavering Support For the Presidential Nomination, The Independent in Politics. New Youg, April 18.—A large and distin- guished gathering was present in Steinway hall to-night to hear an address by Hon. Jas, Russell Lowell on the “Independent in Poli tics," delivered under the auspices of tho new Reform club. Mr, Lowell was intro- duced by Anson P. Stokes. Ho said in part: In speaking of the “‘independent in politics” it is my intention to treat the subject in its general rather than special application. If one would know the difference between the statesman and the politician let him compare Burke's viow of the American troubles with those of Dr. Johnson. Never did two men show more clearly the qnality of true states- manship than Senators Fessonden and Trumbull, when they dared to act indepen- dently of party in the impeachment cases. against President Johnson. They saved us from the creeping paralysis which is gradually benumbing the political energics of France. In our early days we produced statesmen not endowed with Burke's genius, but comparable with him in breadth of view and perhaps his superiors in practical sagacity. Ibelieve there is as much of the raw material of statesmanship among us as ever. If the parties will not look after their own drainage there must be somebody who will do it for them. This duty can be done y by men who have deserted from the in- terests of the party. 'he independents have undertaken it, and with God's help they will carry it through. A moral purpose multiplies us by ten, as it multiplied the early abolitionists. They emancipated the negro, and we mean to emancipate the respectable white men, I am struck with the fact that while we produce great captains and political managers, the: scems to be a pause in the production of the leader of statesmanship, 1 am thankful to have been acontemporary of one, and among the greatest, wnom posterity wid recognize as the wisest and most bravely human of modern times—Abraham Lincoln. What will be of immediate advantage to the party is the first thing considered; what of permanent advantage to the country the last. Both parties have been equally guilty, both have evaded the living questions of the day. Parties being ¥, there must be politicians to repr em. There should bo a neutral body large enough to moderate between both, and to make both mor® cautious in their choice of candidates. If we have not got all that we hoped from the present administration we have got more than we expected. We have compelled a discussion of the question, and have so much faith in the good sense of the American peo- ple as to feel sure that the discussion means victory Two great questions have been opened anew by the president which really resolve them- selves into one—that of the war tariff. 1 say of the war tariff, because it is a mere electioneering device to call it a question of protection or free trade, pure und simple. The advocates of protection have been un- wise in shifting the ground of debate. They have set many people to asking whether x'ohbm(,: Peter to pay Paul is a lm‘\lm equally economic for both The tendency of excessive pro- which thoughtful —m dread most is that 1t stimulates unhealthy home competition, leading to over production and to disasters which are its tainted offspring. I can not take a cheerful view of the future of New England when her leading industries hall be gradually drawn to the south, as they will be, by the cheapness of labor there. Booming Towa's Favorito Son, Cmicaco, April 13.—J . Clarkson, of Des Motnes, chairman of the republican sub-com- mittee, n the city to-day inspecting the auditorum building. He said the pressure for convention tickets was unprecedented.

There were a number of people passing to and fro on the street at the time and the strange fel- low was soon lost to view. Fifteen minutes later the clatter of breaking glass again at- tracted their attention, and looking across the street they suw the same strange fellow emerge through the -broken pane with his arws piled full of shoe boxes. Oicer Shoop, who was sauntering slowly on his beat, le: than a block below, did not hear the noise, and the thief went south as far as Howard and then turned west and disappeared. When he reached the corner of Howard and Thirteenth the policeman was less than half a block away. The fellows at the barn said nothing of the affair until Shoop happened to wander that way, and when thoy told him he rushed immediately to the scene, but o trace of the burglar could be found.

A PINKERTON MAN KILLED. Horrible Fate of An Imported Bur- lington Guardian. The lifeless body of Therold Lund, a Pin- kerton, policeman aged thirty-cight yoars, presented a horrible sight under the flicker- ing glare of the headlight of switch engine No. 99 of the Burlington as he lay prone on the ties of the Pacific street bridge about 10 o'clock last night. His uniform was satu- rated with his life’s blood, his limbs were mangled and crushed, his face was devoid of all semblance of humanity, and his skull battered to a pulp, permitting the brain and secretions of his head to flow and drip into the abyss many feet below. Under the bridge lay the upper part of his head. Lund came here from Chicago among the first of the Pinkertons when the strike on the Burlington broke out, and has been kept continually on du at this point. Last night, together with a fellow Pinkerton by the name of R. S. Dorr, ho was stationed on the bridge to watch an outgoing freight and sce that no violence was offered the trainmen, He and Dorr were stand- ing on the south tracks of the bridge fully absorbed in their dutics, and were not anticipating any danger from ' thei standpoint. All at once the sound of ing wheels fallup the ears of Dorr, w glancing to the west, observed a_ swifch en. gine backing down upon them at a high rate of speed. Grasping the situation at a glance, Dorr cried out to his companion to follow him and jump. Seemingly, Lund did not understand the orders, but’ remained at his post, and while Dorr on his awful flight to the rocky abyss, Lund was being ground upunder the wheels of the cngine. His agonizing cries and the motion of the engine attracted the attention of Henry Smith, fore- man of the engine, who signaled the enginecr, Frank Phelps, and the engine was slacked up and stopped, after dragging the un- fortunate man some forty feet. Death was almost instantaneous Particulars of the catastrophe were sent to the depot, and thoe rest of the Pinkertons and railroad attaches turned their attention to looking after Dor who was found THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, Wheat Surprises the Bears By Open- ing Strong. CORN STILL HOLDS THE LEAD. The Shorts Quite Downhearted—-Onts Participate in the Upward Moves ment — Provisions Strong— Hogs Still Active, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cmicaao, April 13.—[Special Telogram to the Bre.]—A most docided change in the sentiment of wheat traders had been wrought over night. At the close of the short sessfon vesterday the market was extremely woalk and nobody seemed to want any wheat. The prediction of lowor prices to-day was vpry general. This morning, at from 4o to 30 higher prices, the market was buoyant and active, with not a great disparity betwoen supply and demand. A number of circums stances had combined to bring about this result. The first quotations for English con. sols showed another docline of 4 points, And although there was a slight recovery later, yet the fall of § points in two days revived the talk of the unsettied condition of foreign politics. On the other hand, it was said that the decline in consols had no political significance, but was simply the effect of the English chancellor's refunding schome, Moreover, cables, although firm, showed no lying insensible under the bridge. His nose was broken and his face terribly disfigured. He was moved to his hotel and medical assistance summoned, He is thought to have suffered internal injuries of a serious character. Coroner Drexel was sent for to remove the remamns of Lund to the morgue. ‘The decased has a wife and two children living on Indiana avenue, Chicago, and the sorrowful tidings of the loss of a husband and father were forwarded them by tele- graph. Lund has been in the service of the Pink- ertons a long time, and up to the time of his transfer to Omaha had been on duty at the board of trade.

Receipts were 88 cars larger than ex- pected and grading was better than of luto, but these things seemed to bring no comfort to the bears.

Thoro also a report that some strong housos who had corn cribbed in the country proposed to put the price to 60c, at which they wero willing to bring in corn and deliver it.
