Bogus Martyrdom, [Copyright 1888, by Jams Gordon Beinett.] Pants, August 18.—[New York Her Cable—Special to Tue Ber,]—After o days of glorious sunshine a storm by us. 1a fow st over The rain poured down in torrents. It thundered and lightened. The whole celes- tial clicss board was upset in a moment and we went back to the old, duli, cheerless monotony. On As was particular tehied and many a pleas- ant trip to Enghien, St. Cloud and Moutmo- umption day the weather rency had, at the last moment, to be doned. What the lost, Paris gained and the cafe keepers had more work to do than the waiters could attend to. Piquet and billiards were substituted for the expected and boating excursions. Assumption day has long since lost its Napoleonic sense, but is still one of the great secular and retigious fetes of the m France. After thronging the churches the Parisians filled cvery corner of the fow theaters which re- in open, while the cireus and hippodrome were bright with the beaming faces of count- less Maries who shared the honors of the day with the virgin. The Bonapartists and Boulangists velebrated Assumption by ban- s in Paris and various parts of the untry. Baron Haussmaun took the opportunity of issuing from his retirement to make a speech at Salle Wagram, in which he proclaimed the beautics of coups d'etat, especiully the one with which his own name is so closely associated, Mean- while Boulanger was posturing and perorat- ing at Amiens to the reactionaries, of whom the Temps says he is a docile instrument. He still writes “Vive la Republique” beneath his electoral addresses, but, to quote the Temps once more, the only republic he un- derstands is one in which he himself would be dictator. Paris has been chaffing *‘le brav general” mercilessly this week for posing as the target of imaginary assassins. Nobody can be persuaded that the shots were aimed at the general. Most of the reporters prosent think the alleged assassin fired to save himself from assassination, and some in- sinnate that the Boulangists got up the whole affair in the hope of reviving their leader's popularity. The general, however, affects to talke Lis escape as scrious, and is making the ot of the situation. In an terview after tho tragedy he struck a martyr attitude.” “hey fired on mo,” said he. “I am sorry for tiic three good peoplo who were hit. Had these been no vietims I should not have cared. Ihavo been under fire so often that T don't think that 'l die that way.

So 1 had wasted my money and time without furthering the interests of these benighted beings. Con- vinced by the failure of these experiments that philanthrophy can accomplish little without the aid of education, I made a more successful attempt under different conditions, 1 bought about three thousand men at the rate of 10 centimes each and conducted them to the coast where I left them to work couple of years. Then I brought them back inland. Their return to their old home, in- spired as they were with new ideas gained by their sojourn among civilizing influences, had such a beneficial effect upon the rest of the tribe that slavery has since entirely died out among them. They had scen that a bail of rubber at the coast would sell for more than they received for a slave in the interior, but a ball of rubber cost practically nothing in their native woods. was vastly better, instead of sclling their fow sous, to load them with rubber balls or other products, march them to the coast and there sell their burdens for a hundred times what the bearers them- Therefore it able-bodied men for selves would have brought if sold at home.

The report that Mr. Edward King is in New York is not believed here. He is known to have been in London about five weeks ago, but since then all trace of him has been lost. His two twin sisters, the Misses Flisher, lovely girls about ecighteen, have, in the meantime, been left entively destitute., Fortunately kind triends have not been wanting. Every effort has been made to some trace of Mr. King, The has been searched and the police registers examined, but all in vain, Mr. King having failed in his chemical paper business some six months ago has attempted to save him- self from ruin by borrowing money on eyery side. Itisthought that despair may have driven him to flight. Some think he has committed suicide. Curiously enough this is the second time he has disappeared. On the former occasion he was found in the Latin quarter where he had sought refuge. This was in the early spring. After that he seemed to take courage, rented an apartment, cared for his sisters, and devoted himself to his journalistic work. Then with- out a word he disappeared a second time to the surprise and regret of his friends. If the latest cccentricity of the young Ger- man emperer were intended to cite the French they are a sig- nal failure. The exact text of the most sensational passage of the Frankfurt- on-Oder speech has reached Pa “‘Dauber herrsch nur eine stimme—aas man lieber 18 armeekorps und 42,000,000 einwohner auf eine strecke liege lassen wurde als auch nur Prendes second diseover morgue ex- cinen stein vou dem eirungenen weg nehmen lassen.” Exasperating us this very uncalled for declamation must be to French pride, it has been received with singular cooluess. A few papers wonically point out that one part of the kaizer's speech is disrespectiul to the memory of his futher, the peaceful Emperor Frederick. But the comments go little further, Meanwhile the kaiser seems to be wearing his young soul out in aiuless martinet in- spectious of s army. The other day after reviewing some of his troops he remarked, “My lads if you did uo better than this in real war you would all mow be sausage meat.” A few days after he surprised the Potsdam hussars and chasseurs by having an alarm sounded at 4 in the morning.

The language of the emperor, al- though no immediate menace, is not tobe at- tributed to his habit of jexpressing himself bluntly. His speech at Prankfort was pre- meditated, 1f not vervally prepared. The emperor's ire has been efvited by the Rus- sian government permitting or inciting the press to raise the Schleswig-Holstein question with the additional contention that the czar, as a representative of the house of Holstein Gottorp, claims special rights to support the claim of Denmark, The press concur in regretting the futility of the Peterhof and Copenhagen visit It says that withio four weeks after the interviews between the czar and Emperor William the tension of the situation threatens Eureps more than ever, Swecping changes in the command of the army are impending. Nine more gen- erals, nine licutenant generals and a number of major geuerals will retire. General Von Schellelidorf's successor as minister of war will be General Von Caprivi. General Von Schellendorf gets command of the First army corps. Feverish activity pervades every dopartment of the army. Notwithstanding the wide operation and brusque character o4 these chauges, the war office is confident tgat the army will be kept every moment wigh in hand, Signor Crispie, the Italita prime minister, is timed to arrive at Carlsbad on the 20th inst. He will remam in Germaay five days and re- turn to Rome on the 30th, in order to accom- pany King Humbert on his trip. The programme for Emperor William's reception in Vienna at the end of September is as follows: He will remain in the capital for u week's round of wreviews and banquets ; he will be accompanied by the empress if her health permits; he will mdulge in a hunting excursion in Styria and on his re- turn will proceed from Vienna to Italy via Innspruck, the empress réturning meanwhile to Berlin, In Berlin officiol circles: it is rumored that Prince Bismarck propeses to mark the per- fect cntente by accompanying Emperor William to Vienna and Reme. Prince Bismarck had w th him during the week at Friederichsrulie Herr Von Herr- furth, the new minister of the interior and natioual leader; Herr Von Bennigsen, whose visit is associated with the near elections for members of the landtag, Only once before has Herr Von Bennigsed' obtamed the rare honor of bemg a guest of Prince Bismarck, and that was at {Vargin in 1878, when negotiations were groceeding for a rep- resentation of the natiopals in the ministry. The growing confidence$of the nationals in the result of the elections tends to the ex- pectance that Herr vomyBennigsen will ob- tain oftice.

As long as the maintgnance of the cartel remained uncertam the overtures of the national Liberals to the pfogressivists for con- certed action with ter and the other leaders of the progressivists were declined. Richter declared that the party would not be mixed up in electoral infrigues, but would act upon the basis of its well known prin- ciples, believing it would thereby best pre- serve both its interests gud its honor. The irreconcilable attitude af the progressivists at the same time checked the approaches of the leaders of the center, who, while coquet- ting with the ultra-conservatives, were throwing out feclers toward the progressiv- ists. The sum of |the position is that the elections will proceed upon the same basis as the last election. The national liberals will be slighly strengthened but practically the balance of the parties will remain unchanged. Herr Liebknecht's return to the reichstag from the Sixth dis- trict, or B is fully assured. 'The efforts of the government to obtain a candidate supported by the coalitiop vote of the na- tioual liberals and progressivists are increas- ing, but their chance of success is slight. The socialists are hopeful of au increase of 3,000 votes. The antisemitics promoiec the candidature of a man with christian social- istic views. The election will be watched with intense luterest everywhere, as the test of the growth or decline of the so- clalist. The congress of Gerwau Catbolics will con meet at Fribourg, in Creisgan, in September, The two leading questions to be discussed are religious orders and the regime of schools. The recent visit of the duke of Nassau to the king of the Netherlands resulted in an agreement of betrothal between Princess Wilhelmine and the hereditary prince of Nassau, The marriage, which will take place when the princess reaches a mature age, is designed to keep Holland and Luxem- burg united with tie Nassau heirs of Luxem- burg. Dr. Schweinfurth appealed to the East African association to assist in sending an exvedition for the relief of Emin Bey. He promises certain success for the expedition and says 1t will open to Germany command of the trade of the Soudan. Dr. Schwein- furth wants 500,000 marks, and that amount will probably be obtained by public subscription. The emperor favors and will protect such an expedition. He to-day sent to the committec on the organization of the expedition an expression of the warmest sympathy with the enterprise.

A few days ago Miss Gates, daughter of Seallum Gates, a wealthy farmer hiving at 2426 Crys- tal Lake avenue, observed the movements of two men which aroused her suspician, and later caused the other members of the house- hold to suspect that everything was not right. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon Miss Gates, while standing on the piazzu, noticed a man driving a bay horse attachied to a buggy turn from the highway onto a side into the woodland on Mr. Gates' property. This road is used but seldom. The young lady paid no special attention to the until she saw him turn a second tiwe and drive into a still more secluded road, or more roperly a pathway, on her father's farm. e was soon lost to sight. Later in the afternoon Miss Gates saw this same man, with the same horse and buggy, again turn into the side road he had another man with him. A trunk of average size was fastened back of the seat. About fifteen minutes later the inmates of the Gates house- bold noticed smoke coming through the open windows of the house. The smoke was ac- companied by a very unpleasant stench. Looking towards the woodland across the highway a volume of smoke of considerable density was seen to rise. The smell was so unpleasant that the windows of the house were lowered. Late that afternoon Miss Gates made a drscovery which explained the smoke. She became satisfied thi \W body had been-cremated:” A’ the trunk was not totally destroyed and there were several pieces of badly burned bones. There was also a lady’s collar button and a piece of red wloth, ‘evidently a portion of a dress. The young lady informed her brother and sister of the facts and the three visited the place. The young people did not dare to remove any of the bones, and were convinced that there was something wrong. When the spot was visited later the ashes had been dis- turbed and the portions of_dress and piece of trunk removed. The police inspectors will make an effort to unravel the mystery. ————— THE INDIANA WHITE CAPS. Startling Developments Concerning Their Bloody Work.

Effect of Von Moltke's Resignation on the Imperial Army. THE OLD HERO STILLINHARNESS. To Him Will be Assigned the Task of Instructing the Younger Ofti- cers—Amusing Court De- cistons, Delighted With Their Monarch. [Copyright 1588 by James Gordon Bennett.| Berniy, August 18.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Ture Bi Mhe kaiser seems, at Frankfort, again to have voiced the feeling of nearly every Prussian, and to have expressed the feeling so decidedly that there is universal delight at having so able a spokesman. The talk about returning Al- sace-Lorraine has always been exasperating to the Germans, The recent gossip about re- turning portions of Schleswig-Holstein has, to Prussian been even worse; in fact, almosw high treagon. It is ridiculous in atself, but dangerous be- cause exciting dangerous hopes in the neighbors, and giving cause perhaps for some future breach of peace. Now the em- phatic imperial declaration that a single clod of Alsace soil is worth the lives of eighteen army corps, if this price must be paid for re- taining it, fails on delighted ears, and the sentiment is drunk quietly in wine over all Germany, but especially by all Prussians. The long, anxious wait for the great strug- gle which most Prussians deem inevitable before a long line of Prussian emperors can be insured, seems to have tuned the whole Prussian people to a pitch which makes them vibrate in unison with the kuiser's words. Certainly, 1f the feeling lasts which has been raised by this Frankfort speech, the Prussians would go into a struggle for any German province almost as if it were a holy crusade instead of a war to retain what Prussia won by war. Moltke's resignation is, of course, under & frvely “disdumsion, I which -no one Jares 6" write a word against the old hero. In gen- eral the feeling is one of pleasure that he still retains the power to rectify army errors or abuses, and of great pride that in Moltke the Germans have a servant willing to train up successors, and even, while able to work, great enough to sur- render high honors, in order that these suc- cessors may receive final and practical train- ing under his own eyes. Perhaps the most noteworthy remark is that made a year ago in this connection by this famous personage. “Suppose,” said he, “there is a war. A winter campaign would kil off at least a dozen officers of the highest rank in the German army. Among these would be two kaisers, Wilhelm L. and iederich 1IL, so that in the face of an en- emy the new officers must accustom them selves to all of the most important business of commanding. The throue must be twice transferred, and yet they say we are eager for a war.” Since then, as the kaiser's specch shows, arrangements have been completed for the relief of every officer unfit for active work. The field marshal only sets the example of truining successors, which is being followed in an humbler way by scores of his subordinates. With the new ofti- cers and new tactics g many small but important changes iu equipment. One city, for instance, supplies 30,0000 of n new bvattern military cloak, which is so constructed that wwo cloaks, but- toned together, form absolutely a weather proof tent.
