As already cabled you, the Kaiser Friederick, the moment he heird of Sheridan's iliness, cxpressed his { warmest sympathy and hoped that the gal- “Jant little general would pull through all Sjght, To day Iam enabled, thanks to the surtesy of a general officer who was for pany yearsone of the general adjutants of Ao Emperor William, to make public Ye impressions made by General Sher- Qan and the opmions formed in ygard to him by General Field Marshal ‘raf Von Moltke, chicf of the general staff, ¥ General Der Cavalleric Graf Von Der Joltz, who commanded the calvary division f the guard during the Franco-German war, sy General Der Infantrie Von Sape, com- aander of the garde corps of the Prussian .rmy, and by Major General Frederick [Bugen, prince of Sohenzallern, who com nands the Third brigade of cavalry of the garde corps.

It was 1 this study that T was received by the first ¢ living strategists at shortly after 2 iclock, just as he had finished reading the seports of his adjutants. The room is a '{nall ono and the walls are covered with Jook cases filled with military books and arge folios, apparently containing maps. Dver a poreelain stove is a portrait of the late emperor. An old engraving of Frederick the Great occupies a prominent place opposite {he door. A whist table is placed next the writing table—Count Von Moltke is, by the way, considered the best whist player in the army. Count Von Moltke was scated in a Araight back queen plush chair when the distinguished person who accompanicd me explained the object of my visit. Count Von Moltke at once politely but firmly objected to being interviewed, or t having nything published in the form of an inter- iew, but he finally consented to express the following impression in reference 1 General heridan: I havealways regarded Generals {rant, Sherman and Lee as the representa- Ive types of the highest form of modern trategists, but General Sheridan struck me 1sthe type of a thoroughly Am val, with all the wonderful ud fertility of resources that ch 40 nation, and probably no better ¢ commander has ever taken the field. He \ past master in using horses for all that iy are worth, aud ull the armies of Europe 1ave adopted many of the lessons taught by him in the taotical usc of cavalry.” I next called upon General of Cavalry Count Von der Gocetz, who has a picd terre in Berlin at the oficers' club on the Pariser Platz. Count Von der Goetz is the ideal of beau sabreur. He is now about seventy years o, of medium Leight, strongly built, with keen flashing eyes, and u long snow white moustache. He wears o dark blue and gold uniform of the Seventh kings huz zars. General Von der Goetz said: I first saw General Sheridan in 1570, just after the battle of Sedan, and was impressed with the way inwhich he examined the horses' feet and the field forges of the differ. ent cavalry regiments, I met him afterwards at Versaiiles, shortly clured, and remember him saying that had the German cavalry been organized on the American bpais, that all the French railways connceting the Fried larber army in the north and the Chanis army on the Loire would huve been totally destroyed immediately after the isolation of Paris. 1 consider General Sheri dan one of the ablest cavalry commanders of the worla,” < General of Infantry Von Pope, who com- mands the entire Prussian guard corps—com- prising about 35,000 men—said thut he had pot met Generul Sheridan personally, but that he studied carefully his campaign in Western Virgimia, which he considered to e & model of the way in which large musses of cavalry should be handled in warfare in )= iarten. energy acterized ulry before Paris was de nera! Frederick Eugene, Prince of Hohenzollern, who commsuds the Thir- tieth Lrigade of cavalry of the guard corns, was found at the oficer's club on Pariser Platz. Prince Frederick of Hohenzollern is @ well built, solid looking, and 1s about forty- five years of age. He belongs to the Koman Catholic branch of the Hohenzollern family, and during the Franco-German war was at tacked to the staff of Emperer William, Said Prince Frederick: “1 remember ‘meeting at Versallics: ewperor afterwards spoke of him as the man who knew best how to make cavalry horses do more work than any other cavalry com- mander ever got out of them, 1 recoliect, also, that the Emperor William once told me to study Sheridan’s West Virginia campaign, asa great deal of Sheridan's methods of destroying an enemies communication would some day be very useful in a campaign in Europe. I am also authorized to say that Lieutenant General Graf Von Walderze, the quartermaster general of the German army, who by the way is married to a relative of General Rob- ert B. Lee, holds a very high estimate of General Sheridan as a_eavalry commander,” General Von Walderze, who is regarded as the successor to Count Von Moltke, is now at Metz making, with about 20 young staff offi- cers, the annual staff tour of inspection along the French frontier. General Sheridan was also spoken of in a very complimentary way by the crown prince at a meeting of all the oficers of the Second brigade of infantry of the guard corps in the marble hall of the Munichener Lowenbraw, where the crown prince had invited them to a beer banquet after the close of the spring manceu- vers. The crown prince sat a little wooden table between General Von Pape and Licu- tenant General Von Schlichting. General Sheridan's illness was spoken of and General Von Schlichting. who also commands a brifade of the guard carps, raiscd a stone jug of beer to his lips and said, “Poor Sheridan; 1 remember sec- ing him ride about at our headquarters north of Paris in 1870. He was a capital fellow and a first-rate cavalry commander.” SR S RUSSIA IN FOR RAILWAYS, Another Stupendous Scheme Backed by the Government. LCopuright 1658 by James Gordon Bennett.] Sr. Prrenssne, June 2.—[New York Herala Cable—Special to Tue Be Another vast railway project follows fust on the completicn of the Trans-Caspian railway. The government is alrcady considering the details. The proposal is no less than uniting the extreme eastern terminus of the Russian railway system with the Siberian coast on Pacific ocean, Plans for this great cnter- prise were examined at a recent sitting of the Imperial ~ Rus: Technical society, on which occasion Vice-Admiral Kryleoff pro. nounced himself in favor of the Orenburgh route, but according to the government the amar chinsk route is to be preferred, the majority of the members of the favored this latter proposal. The czar i of the opinion that it should be built gradually, beginning by sections local circumstances render it advisable and constructing the rest according to requirements, The chief diffl- culties to be encountered do not consist in the undulations of the country traversed, but the large rivers across which it is necsssary to throw bridges. The Russians would have preferred one of the Corcan ports for the Pacific railway terminus. Port Lazaroff or the Bay of Nozan would have suited them better than Vladistook. It is thought the English government had an inkling of this when they caused Port Hamilton to be occu- pied. The new Russian railway will be about 6,400 kilometers long and the cost will be ap- proximately 400,000,000 roubles. The first section projected will cover 3,500 kilometers und will cost about 240,000,000 roubles. Both for political and military reasons the Rus- siuns attach the utmost importance to the prompt exceution of this mighty scheme, which becomes the more populur as it s dis cussed, BETRAYED IN OMAHA, A Simple Girl the Victim of a Mulat- to's Lust.

It was right and proper that he should write the Florence let- ter. It was doing what was highly bonora ble as regards his party at that time.

Judge Jamieson appeared before the grand jury this morning as a witness, and detailed the story as he saw it from the judicial bench, *'Sinl’” Sutherland, the old bailiff, also ap- peared and told in a thrilling manner how the bullets flew about the court room in scarch of Counselor Whitney.

Alsace-Loraine Passengers Not Ob- liged to Produce Them If They Remain on the Train— Gobelet and Von Tisza. The Chancellor and the King. [Copuright 1858 by New York Associated Press] BenLiy, June 2.—No sooner has Emperor Frederick seemed assured of some prolonga- tion of life than influences hostile to Prince Bismarck bave displayed renewed activity. The conflict between the liberal tendencies of the emperor and the chancellor’s policy, which has been} latent at the outset of the reign, now threatens to end in open rupture. The emperor is swayed by othe opinion of the empress, who has resumed the active domain she secured during the illness of the emperor at San Remo. Prince Bismarck had warning of the coming troubles last week in a com- munication from the emperor blaming Minis ter von Puttkamer for abusing the govern- ment influence at elections, Prince Bis- marck returned from Varzin, and in an inter- view found the emperor desirous of recon- structing the ministry and also opposed to giving consent to the quinquennial landtag bill, Under the advice of Dr. Friedberg. the emperor signed the bill, at the same time udvising Bismarck that he hoped this concession would be followed by reforms in the minis- try. When Bismarck left the emperor on Thursday the crisis appeared to have been settled. To-day it transpires that Bismarck had been consulting his colleague on the or- der of the emperor for the postponement of the publication of the law. It was reported that the emperor had cancelled his signature. The report, however, is unconfirmed. The ministerial circle look for the worst. The progressists rejoice at the prospect of the ad- vent of aliberal regime, The crisis has not reached the climax of the resignation of the mmistry and until Prince Bismarck has again consulted the emperor, the issue of the conflict is doubtful, but the situation is grave enough to cause profound uneasiness. Owing probably to anxiety, combined with yesterday's fatigues, the emperor became worse to-day, his fever reappeared, the dis- charge of pus became copious and his general exhaustion greater. The doctors forbade his going into the park this evening seeing that hie was greatly fatigued.

BARCELONA, June 2.—[New York Her- ald Cable—Special to Tre Bre. |—The queen regent unveiled at sundown last evening the moch-talked of monument to Columbus, It stands on the central quay of this fine har- bor, is of bronze, twenty-five feet gh, and the pedestal in proportjon, on which is pic- tured base relief incidents of his carcer, He is sculptured 1n the familiarly sknown dress of the period. A royal cavalcade passed be- tween the lines of troops and sailors from the war ships, and drafts from each arm of the Spanish army formed a large, deep, pictur. esque square around the monument. But the striking feature was the bare headed groups of delegates from the . acadeic and geographical socicties of WM Kingdom and from Ttaly, Prince Tornielli of the Genoese family especially represented King Humbart of the land of Columbus’ birth. As the monument was unveiled it was grected with salutes from the war shivs in the harbor, It had been intended a mon- ster allegorical procession, planned on the most elabrate scale, representirg the various nations and industries of the world, should pass in review before the queen regent, but this feature had to be omitted, as the prepar- ations were too incomplete. At night there was a great naval fete, the whole harbor, Mount Monjuich and all the ships being illuminated, and the quay around. The statue of Columbus is represented as looking steadily toward the sea. Groups surrounded the statue in the bright moonlight almost all night. —— ENTITLED TO BETTER RATES. Lincoln Merchants Win their Suit Against the U. P, LiNcoLN, Neb., June 2.—[Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee.]—The consolidated cases of the Lincoln wholesalers against the Omaha & Republican Valley railroad, a branch of the Union Pacific, were tried to-day. The Union Pacific has been charging on shipments from the Pacific coast to Lincoln the throngh rate to Omaha plus the local rate to Lincoln, For example, on sugars the rate is 60 cents to Omaha and 75 cents to Lincoln; on canned salmon it is §1 to Omaha, Kansas City, Chi- cago, Buffalo and New York and $1.15 cents to Lincoln. The distance to Lancoln from the coast, via the Union Pacific, is twenty-two miles greater than to Omaha. On these shipments the wholesalers tendered a rate computed from the Omaha rate on a mileage basis. The road would not accept it and the wholesalers replevined the goods. This trial was to determine the rights of possession. Judge Chapman instructed the jury that the rate regularly charged by the road to favored points was by a fair presumption not less than areasonable rate, and that it was not less than a reasonable rate for a shorter haul. The jury found that the tender made to the rond was a reasonuble rate and that the plaintifis were entitied to possession of the property. A Mad Dog at Columbus.

[Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Pants, June 2.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tne Bee]—There are grand’ doings in the Boise de Bologne to-day. The Fetes des Fleurs in previous years have beett t00 often marred by wind and wet, but this year everything has smiled upon the festit val and this afternoon the verdant avenues: of the wood were filled with dashing caes riages and fragrant with flowers, What mag be lacking in luxury and cxtravagance i amply compensated by Parisian taste. No fingers in the world are apter at decoration: than those pretty litle flcurists, who for # week past have been busily weaving garlands and wreaths for the adornment of the carriages whicn were seen in the bois to-days The fete began at 2g0'clock, with & corse lasting several hours. Besides this, therg' were minor attractions—military music, #d' frescoe balls, restaurants, swings, rounde abouts and all the usual fun at fairs one scem’ round about Paris. In the evening the bois was prettily illuminated and there was @ grand display of fireworks. The day's des lights closed after dusk by a military tevchs light procession. To-morrow (Sunday) therd will be a popular repetition of the fete, with Blondin and a variety of aquatic diversiong thrown in to vary the programme. !
