CAREWORN HEIR TO THE CROWN Living a Quiet and Studious Life at Pottsdam. RIDES IN THE FACE OF DANGER. A Reported Plot to Assassinate H Oause Him no Alarm—Ameri- can Personals—Weather in Berlin, The Elements in Hysterlcs. [Copyright 1658 by James Gordon Bennett.] Beruty, June 9—(New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bee.]—The weather has gone intohysterics, The weck opened with tropical heats and dead calms, Twen- ty-eight cases of sunstroke were recorded in one day. Then thunder storms raged for twenty-four hours and on Wednesday the thermometer fell sixtecn degrees, and over- coats and ulsters reigned supreme. The storm cabled June 1 by the Herald’s meteoro- logical bureau anda announced to arrive on British coast June 5, reached Germany the night of the 6th. Fifty fishing smacks in the North sea were wrecked and a north- westerly gale came sweeping over northern Germany, blowing off the roofs of houses and creating terrible havoe with cherry and peach orchards. This Herald storm then seemed to obtain a new lease of life inthe Mecklenburg prairies and went bound- ing off into Russia, leaving Berlin in a deluge of rain that has lasted without a break till the end of the week. Berlin is now almost deserted, not only the emperor, but the:crown prince and all that constitutes Berlin uppertendom has flitted off to Potsdam. The kaiser Frederick’s dismissal of Puttkamer causes a thrill of joy throughout Germany, except the Kreuz- Zeitung, the organ of the Puttkamer feudal nobility, which shows ugliness by merely recording his dismissal in six lines, All the papers—conservative, liberal and radical—are unanimous in approving the kaiser's decisive action. Even the conserva- tive Vocks Zeitung says no tears will be shed for Puttkamer, who was the obstacle in the way of the happy future of the German peo- ple; who was the klassische vertretres des buereaukratche orthodoxes. The Polizeis- taats Ministral Zeitung says Puttkamer rep- resented ultra-fudal® sectarianism and has already done mu¢h harm, and if not dis- missed would have done more. The Nord- Deutscher Zeitung, Bismarck’s organ, ap- proves the dismissal and considers the way now open to still greater electoral reforms. The Boersen Courier says the only Germans who regret Puttkamer are a few medaevil nobles and a dozen sccret police agents, whom he recently promoted, who now have no occupation, The Sage Blatt says Wahl- vatronize is now killed, The kaiser’'s deter- mined action opens an era of German repre- sentative goverament. Henceforth Prussian ballots will be equivalent. The Unver- folschte Meinung des Volkes concludes with these words: ulen die waehler ihre pflicht wic unser kaiser die seine erfuellt hat dann Vird der personenwechsel das signal zu einem system wechsel werden den schon seit lange die besten ersehnt, dann wird die jetsige morgenrothe einen, neuen schoenen tag herauffeibren. Wuer Preussen wie siend fur das ganze reich,” I saw the kaiser to-day at Friederichstrom, He is getting on well, but has lost flesh, He reads all the newspapers daily, and eats rare chops with milk and cream. I asked MeKenzie if the kiiser’'s health was affected by the excitement of the Puttkamer crisis, “Not a bit,”” he replicd. “It is deemed to have done him good.” The kaiser will prob- ably end the month at Hamburg, Bismarck goes to Kissengen on the 10th of July, The emperor, during the ministeriai crisis, has shown great firmness and decision of character, This is the third time that he has had a difference of opinion with Bismarck and the Von Puttkamer ministry, The em- peror has evinced a cast-ivon resolve that so long as he lives representative government in Prussia is to have fair play., The em- peror in the most categorical terms has in- sisted that Prussian voters are henceforth to be protected from all official interferences or influence in casting their ballots, and thus government corruption that has hitherto played such a vital role at the polls is done away with. This is the political significance of the recent cabinet crisis, and both Bis- marck and Minister Von Puttkamer have re- Juctantly, but gracefully, yielded to theirim- perial master, The crown prince becomes daily more sol- emn and serious, He looks careworn and grows thin, He lives a very quiet life with s wife in his Marmor palaise overlooking in the hovel at Pottsdam. He spends his time reading Jotinis' history of the campaigns of the first Napokon and studies carefully the Russian staff history of the last cam- paign. He walks a great deal in the pine forests and never fails to have. a chat with Prince Bismarck when- ever the chancellor visits Pottsdam. The other day the erown prince aceidentally cut bis finger while opening and shutting the blade of a penknife. The biood ran frecly snd the crown prince with a con- temp wus shrug of his shoulders, exclaimer “Ach, dus Englishe blut.» The erown privce recently showed admir- sble coolness snd pluck. A cipher telegram from London reached Berlin last Saturday wforming the German police that two young socialist workwen had left London for Ber- ~- Vinj that they were suspocied of beiug agents: OMAHA SU MORNING, JUNE 10, 1888.—SIXTEEN PAGE ' NUMBER 338 of a secret society of German socialists living in London who wished to assassinate the crown prince and Prince Bismarck. The two young socialists were shad- owed by the Berlin police, who soon thought they were on the track of a serious assassination plot. It was believed that a dastardly attempt of some kind of dynamite bomb would be made upon the crown prince ut Pottsdam on Monday as he would pass as usual over the Glineke bridge on his way to Marmor palaise. The crown prince was informed of this and was warned by the police that it would be advisable nbot to ' pass over the bridge. To-day the crown prince treated these warnings with the utmost contempt and rode on his chestnut gelding over the bridge as usual. Tt subsequently turned out that the two so- clalist conspirators are two harmless crazy men who will probably be put in a lunatic asylum. The crown prince afterwards went ofl hunting in West Prussia and returned to Pottsdam Friday evening. No well known Americans have arrived in Berlin this week. The stream of American visitors has already turned towards Holland and Saxony, the Rhine and South Germany. Mr. Villard continues to drink the waters at Carlsbad. Mrs. Von Schweinitz, the wife of General Von Schweinitz, the German ambassador at St. Petersburg, who was Miss Jay of New Yorlk, passed a few days this week at Potts- dam, where they took tea with the empress and afterwards, together with her children, went off to Hamburg for the summer, where General Von Schweinitz will rejoin her as s0on @s he has completed his flymne visit to Galicia, to see what the Austrian frontier defences look like. The charming American wife of the German embassador has become one of the empresses most intimate friends. Herr von Krupp, the great cannon king passed through Berlin yesterday en route for St. Petersburg, in reference to large orders for field guns for Russian artillery that will soon be made. Edouard Strauss continues to wear the rosette of the French legion of honor as he prances about leading his orchestra at the exhibition in Thier Garten, This is much commented upon, and Edouard Strauss is the only non-French foreigner who has ap- peared in public in Berlin in an un-official capacity, wearing the insignia of French decoration. The Berliners scem pleased at this and applaud him heartily. A Brilliant Wedding. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] *Paxis, June ).—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tune Bee]—Count Guy De Rohan Chabot and his fair countess, she who was once Mrs. Lefita Hoeyward Gallatin, are also flitting on the honey- moon trip to Carlsbad and Hamburg. The marriage service took place in the chapel of Maniture, rue Varienne, the ceremony being conducted by Mons. Rotelli, the papal nuncio. The witnesses for the groom were Duke de Rohan, his first cousin, and Marquis de Bien- court, representing the Montmorency branch of the family., For Mrs. Gallatin the witnesses were Mr. Richard Corbin and her cousin, Mr. Brockholst Cutting of New York, who con- ducted the bride to the altar where the groom awaited her. During the celebration two selections of music by the father of Count De Rohan Chubot were rendered on the cello and harp. After congratulations in the sacristy a reception was held at Mrs, Heyward’s the mother of Mrs. Gallatin in the Rue Eler. The bride wore an exquisite gown of pink faille with a tablier of superb and side pancls of white moussline de soie; the corsage was of pale pink faille and a small bodice of point d’ulencon fastened at the side with a long pink moire ribbons and tnree brooches of superb saphires and diamonds; a necklace of seven strings of pearls surrounded her neck, with large pearl and diamond orna- ments for her ears. The daintiest of bon- nets wasa very small pink tulle covered with exquisite crushed pink roses. Mrs, Heyward wore a long train gown of black moire and lace. The Marquis do Villenuve Criguon was attired in a rich costume of grey veille and mowe, trimmed with flounces of cream colored lace.. The Marquise Montesquion Sezensac wore a palé green silk covered with handsome black lace and a sash of green moire ribbon, Miss McLane wore a lovely gray crepe gown with drapery exquisitely plain; the corsage was trimmed with a net work of silver braid and a becoming bonnet of gray and silver, Mrs, Brockholst Catting wore a directoire cos- tume of gray and pale pink, Miss Catting was in an embroidered gray costume and black lace bonnet covered with violets. The Countess de Sers, nee Miss Nevin, was in gray Sicilian silks, quite beautiful. Mrs. Deacon was more charming than ever, in & delicate gray surah silk, wmade with long plain drapery, the corsage trimmed with braid and a small bonnet of gray tulle trimmed with white flowers. ‘The Marquis de Tallyrand was at- tired in blue and black striped summer silk with a bonuet of black tulle rovered with corn flowers. Mrs. Luckermeyer of New York wore an exquisite gray faille over a white silk skirt, trimmed with pale lemon wmoire ribbons. point d’alencon ——— Storms and Quarrels, (Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.) Pauis, June 9.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tue Bee]—The storms and quarrels which marked the political story of the week past were doubtless largely due to the sultry heat from which we have been suffering since last Sunday. The air is close and stifiing, nor have the few short summer showers done much to assuage the fields and vineyards which in most parts of Frauce are thirsting for rain-falls. In Bordeaux county, however, they bhave had rather too much water. Terrific storms of rain and hail have worked irreparable damuge among the vines and corn fields, i one small district alone, round about Castillon, the loss being roughly estimated at & balkwmillion francs, LIQUOR IS ITS RULN, The British Ministry Tottering on the Temperance Question. CONDEMNATION OF THE CLAUSES Between Teetotalers and Dealers They are in a Pretty Mess. PARNELL LOOKS SERENELY ON While the Government Muddles With Its Local Bill. CORRUPTION IN HIGH PLACES. A Flavor of Boodleism Pervades the London Atmosphere — A Bomb. Shell of Immense Proportions Threatens to Explode. The Ministry in a Muddle. [Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett, | Loxvoy, June 9.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bee.|—Several Lon- don papers are suggesting to the government to withdraw all the compensation clauses which have raised such a storm throughout the country. 1may go further and inform you that the government has already made up its mind to withdraw these clauses almost unconditionally, aud that other surrenders will follow. Once more the ministry have had to give way to the liberal-unionists who rebelled against Chamberlain and gave the ministers warning if clauses were pressed they would vote with Glad stone. Any price must be paid to avert that. Chamberlain defended the clauses and the government thought they were safe. It now turns out, small as Chamberlain’s party is, he cannot manage 1t. Overboard go the clauses and Chamberlain is left in a singularly fool- ish position. This is a very serious blow for the minority and something worse is to come. The temperance inter- ests have been strenuously stirred up and to appease it the liquor dealers have been sacrificed. But now it is their turn. As a rule they have supported the conserva- tive party. They are worse off under it than they would be under liberal rule. Ritchie’'s bill will add 20 per cent to their licenses and exposes them to the risk of having their houses closed on Sundays and holidays, and places them control of country counsels. Their worst enemies could not do much more by way of beginniug. Is it to be supposed that they will sit down quietly and bear this from the men for whom they vote! No! They will get up an agitation and withdraw their support from the conservatives, come to terms with the liverals and so try and s0 try and get some security for the future, for these compensation clauses one way and and anotner would lose one-third of the con- servatives their seats if we had an election next week, The approaching eclection av Ayr is, I hear on excellent authority, already lost. One more liberal unionist seat will be trans- ferred to the Gladstonians. At this rate where will Chamberlain's party be a year hence, So much for the first results of this. The local government bill has just been sent on its perilous voyage through the committee, All the tories are sore about 1t. Why have they been dragged into this mess? Why could not the government have left the whole subject alone? under Loud are their complaints and repin- ings, but Lord Salisbury sits up aloft and hears them not. This is one resultof having the prime minister in the house of lords. He is far removed from his followers and guages publie opinion by the London and by the reports of party whips. He forgets that both are scasoned to suit his palate. All who are now in this position are angry with the ministry. The liberal-unionists would desert it to- morrow if they could find safer anchorage. The temperance interest has gained a great victory; the drink interest will be furious; all the supporters of some check being placed upon the drink traftic, will oppose the conservative party at future elections, What a specatcle is this, As soon as the mimstry got into its boasted English legislation it drifted toward the rocks. The cry of *‘the union is in danger,” will not do much for it now. I think the people generally are getting a little tired of thatcry. It has been re- peated too often and on such frivolous oceas- ions that it begins to fall on deaf ears, This rash and blundering intermeddling with the drink trade has driven the aues- tion out of sight and was the best thing that could happen;butas for Ireland, con- sidering the dead lock to which her affairs have been brought, the Irish members can not do better for her than leave the govern- ment to muddle along with its local govern- ment bill as how it can, settling with its own supporters on the numerous subjects of difference that must inevitably arise. Irish interference would again unite the liberal-unionists and conservatives, Parnell is always about the house but seldom in it. His followers might for the present wisely follow hus example, A cloud is growing in another quarter in spite of ali the smooth talk. The Salisbury and Stanhope people are getting really dis- quieted about the econdition of the army and pavy. If they only kuew the truth, that we have no powder in the country for our large guns, no ironclads that can be trusted far off port,no adequate reserve stores, no proper rifles—all facts brought out in the recent parliamentary committees but as yet hidden from the public. They know enough, how- ever, to convince them all is not well with their affcirs, They suspect the existence in public departments of jovbery and corruption. Day by day some fact or other is coming to light which proves that there is a flavor of the metropolitan board of works in most of our great state bureaus. Fresh cases of ex- travagance in the war office and jobbery over coutracts will shortly be brought out. The uewspapers grossest mismanagement at the admiralty oftices will be exposed. Can the government, meet these indictmeits by cut and dried of- ficial evasions or delusive denials? I doubtat, The facts will be too strong for that metbod of treatment. Depend upon it,we are on the eve of one of those great popular uprisings against long standing abuses which break out occasionally in all countries, and carry everything before them. The people have not realized that their money is not only ex- travagantly, but in many instauces dishon- estly made away with, As soon as they clearly sce that down will go the whole house, The exgosure of the motropolitan board of works, which I long ago prepared you for, is having a great effect on the public mind. The people believed in its igtegrity; they now find that it was what some of us always supposed. The idea is abroad that copruption has spread its taint far and wide in the public service, Every new fact that comes to light will decpen this im- pression. 1 can only say that many such facts must be disclosed before the session is over, if Lord Salisbury keeps in office. The men who defend or palliate gross abuses; be will not save—either them or himself. We shall perhaps hear something of these things next week, A MEMBER OF PARLIAMEN Americans in Paris. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panis, June 9.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tue Bee] — Travelers are still crowding from America, some to linger long among the joys of Lutelia, others intent on secing the grand Prix run to-morrow before departing on their tourist way east, west or south, in search of rest and pleasure. This is the grande remaine in Paris, the week usually given up bodily to racing and revelry. Be- tween the race for the grand international steeple chase and the Grand Prix i, com- pressed in one short week enough delight and dissipation to last most men a scason. After to-morrow will begin the summer exodus. Paris will scatter, leaving her elysian fields to foreigners. The aurclien school of Meilhac would say the foreigners have the best of it, an opinion shared by some of the Americans against whom I have brushed elbows on the boulevards this week. Among the number were William E. English of Indianapolis, who has just arrived and is staying at the Grand hotel; Mr. Frank Ha- zeltine and Mrs., Ward B. Hazeltine are also here; Mr. W. W. Tucker of Boston and Mr, Charles Watrons; Mr. Charles Whittier, that hastened boulevardier commodore; A. Slaven is due at Bristol to-morrow, while nnd Mrs. Jobn R. Andrews, Mr. and J. V. Brokan and Mr. Leopold Good- man of New York are already ut the Athenee en Revanche, Sowe of the oldest acquaintances are leaving us, among them Mr. W. L. Marey, nephew of Minister Pendleton, who sailed to-day by the Bur- goyne after five years' stay in BEurope; he carries back with him the prestige of honor- able mention won at the salon, and thinks of spending his summer at Newport. Robert Garrett leaves the Hotel Vendome for Lon- don to-morrow. He cannot make any plans till he sees his father-in-law, who arrives at Southampton on the Elbe.

Fifteen dash- ing drags turned out. The first to arrive upon the scene was - Prince Troubetz Koy, driving four handsome black horses, Next came M. Parcal with four fine bays drawing his yellow coach. Afterwards came Count de Viltaine with black wheelers and bay ers. Viscount Charles de la Rochefou- cald drove the most showy team, bay wheel- ers and light chestnut leaders, with Marquise de Gallifelt and Viscountess de la Roche- foucald amongst his passengers. M. Leon Lambert, Gustave de Rothschild's son-in-law, followed with four dark brown horses. Marquis de Bourg drove three grays and a roan; M. de la Haye Jousselyn, one light and three durk browns; 4Count de Vignacour, a team of bays; Count @’ Arlingeourts, four durk browns, Comte de Maulde had a mixed veam of bay and roan wheelers and white and bay leaders, “When you're ready,” said Viscount de la Rouche- foucald, and the procession started nearly in the order given for the Anteuil race course. Just then a tootle-tootle was heard and up galloped Mr. Frederick Munro with @ spirited team of light and dark bays. As the last coach tooted - along between the Marley horses, the rain ceased and umbrellas were put iuto baskets and a gleam of sunshine showed the ladies divest- ing themselves of their waterproofs and looking like multi-eolored butterfiics, in a heavy shower Josie Mansfield a Lively Corpge. [Copyright 1865 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panis, June 9.—[New York Herald Cable —Special to Tme Ber]—I mterviewed Josie Mansfield to-day at the luxurious little bonbonunierre she inhabits near the Boulevard Perrire, She was very sarcastic about the report of her death which lately appeared in New Jersey papers, “But the chief thing is that here I am alive and well and upless I am killed in earnest 1 think I have still a few years to live,” said Miss Mansficld. For a resuse tated corpse she looked astonishingly fresh and blooming. She wore a peignoir of rose pink surab, trimmed with Holland lace, her auburn hair wound in a graceful knot upon the top of her head. ‘I have been living quietly in this very same house for the lust seven years and have no intention of leaving it Cogsheron, the Herald's Paris sporting prophet, has been having his proverbial luck lately.

[Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.) i1, Eng., June 9.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bre.]—Mr. Carnegie's coaching party arrived here this evening a few minutes after the old clock in the old market place had struck eight. The clear blast of the Carncgie coach- img horn rang out through the air a few scconds later, and the coach had drawp up in front of the ancient hostelry, a pic- turesque Queen Aune building bearing the sign “Angel Hotel and Posting House.” The party found Peterborough, a typical ald-fashioned English town with 21~ 000 inhabitants, who mainly take a lively interest in fat cattle and horses and are duly impressed with the respectability of living in a cathedral city. Itisa mar- ket town and to-day was market day. In consequence the people were out en masse. As the coach drove along the party found all sorts of entertainments going on in the streets. The S: ationists were holding an excited meeting at one end, which Mr. Blaine gazed on with interest, and the whole of the high street was filled with booths which attracted the amused at- tention of Gail Hamilton. The market place presented a sight which impressed itself upon he whole party. This was the sight the party saw—every inch covered with stalls in the background. The old market hall, dating back to 1671 and behind that the very handsome church of St. Johns, built in the fifecenth century, On the other side stood, the magnificent cathedral, so well known to American tourists as a masterpiece of grace- ful architecture, partly i the Norman and partly in the carly Egghish style. Color was lent to the scene by an Italian woman in full native costume who told the yokels fortunes did a thriving trade. Far a y down every street of peasants holiday attire coming in to do their Saturday night errands. Mr. Clifton, the geninl proprictor, a type of 0ld sporting posting house tavern kecper, in a clean white waist coat, and supported by his staff, was at the door of the Angel as the coach drove up to bid his distinguished guests welcome to Peterborough. How did they look? The whole party presented the picture of health. As they left London on Phursday, so each appeared to-day, except that they were all much browner., Mr. Blaine himself was the especial picture of health, He aid: “I have not felt bett for years,” He got down off the couch with almost juvenile agility. Mrs, Blaine and Miss Dodge also were look- ing very well, As for M, full of life and spirits. “Had he enjoyed himgelf “Immensely! the weather was splendid, the roads good and all our party are well and delighted so far with their Midland drive. Mr. Blaine has enjoyed excellent Lealth and all the ladies say it is the pleas- antest beginning of any trip they have cver made.

We work them easily. We have got time and like to enjoy the scenery. The horses cer- tainly look as hard as nails, and indeed have improved considerably since we started.” There was one very good sign—the eager- ness with which the party rushed down into the dining room. It was not a French din- ner, but & good Enelish country inn cookery— young dueks and green peas, rump steak and good big bolid pudding. It would have as- tonished the town friends of the party to the way they demolished this good plain food. It was a very merry dinner party. Everybody had something to say on the experiences of the day. Mr. Blaine and Mvr. Carnegie kept the ball of feasting and talking rolling with great vigor, The scenery descriptions by Gail Hawmilton can be best imagined by her family of readers. “Early to bed and early to rise motto,” said Mr. Carnegie, as the finger Lowls came “A good dinuer and good night's rest is people who are out in the open air all day.

Panis, June 0.—[New York Herald Cablo— Special to Tre Ber.]—Another social sensa- tion has been reopened for two nights only of what is playfully known as the Cirque Mo- liers, The circus in question is a private show of the wealthy and eccentric M. Molier who made amateur acrobats fashionable. As usual he has given two grand entertain- ments—one reserved for the lighter and less Philistine element, the second set apart for soclety proper. The greatest fun was na- turally seen at the first or improper gather- ing. The appearance of the little house dur- ing the performance was as brilhant as the Ttalians under the empire, Suchlovey necks and shoulders, such a profusion of diamonds and bejeweled fans, The atmosphere was laden with delicious perfumes, Everybody secmed bent on M. { Molier opened the ball upon A white horse, which kept eapi- tal time to themusic of the excellent or- chestra and performed a pas de deux with a handsome chestnut. A child of twelve jumped barriers on a huge bay in imitation of Bear Caviar at the Neuvean cirque. Then wehad two funny clowns—La Haute and Ecole—and everything else to be seen at a circus, but all the performers were of the upper ten, The great attraction was Felicien Champsaver's pantomime, by Felicien Champsauer, **Les Erenties de la Vie” Tt is o mimic play, having for its base the two great motive powers of the present century— women and money. M. Champsauer Ras struck several new ideas and M. Mol.er found charming persons to impersonate them. Boulanger Did Not Conquer. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennet.] Panis, June ).—|New York Herald Cable —Special to Tne Bee.]—Boulanger came like Cwsar this week—he saw, but he did not conquer. His long and wordy manifesto in the chamber has not helped his cause, while it showed the gen- eral in his true colors of a pretender. When Boulanger dropped his mask the monarchists dropped theirs, declaring that they fought with him, but not for him. There was much significance in the specehes which Due de la Rochefoucauld and M. Jolibers followed up the general’s manifesto. Charette’s stirring protest was not made in vain, amusement, A Defunct Institution. LONDON, June §.—The court has ordered the winding up of the American Exchange in Europe, which recently suspended. Coun- sel for the exchange stated nothing had been done for the creditors since the lust hearing | and the company therefore petitioned for the winding up of its affairs, The captal of the company was £1,000,000, divided into 500,000 shares. The concern was insolyvent and the petitioners desired to protect its assetts. Counsel said his clients had had the capital ready to reconstruct the company, but at the last moment they had discovered the lease of exchange, which was a valuable asset, had been secretly mortgaged. This transaction counsel described as a fraud. Mapleson was appoiuted to conduct the liquidations. —_— ITALIAN INJUSTICE, A Baltimore Man Under Surveilance By Their Police.
