Notwithstanding his serious check at Mussowah, Crispi is the Plaine of Italy. A few weeks ago Crispi came to the conclusion that the moment had come for a combined attack on France, He felt convinced that France was rapidly be- cowing stronger and strouger and that un- Jees he could persuade Germany and Austria to aval themsolves of this phychological moment that the opportanity for Crispi to Lecome a great man might be lost.

Two other crimes have impassioned the Parisian mind being talked about throughout The first is the story of the Per- rand brothers, Gaston and Ernest, who killed their natural father. The two brothers were sous of a pretty little contouriere named Julia Ferrand, whom M. Honore Chevaliereau met and seduced while study- ing law in Paris in 1360, The story is almost exactly the same as that of Daudet's novel, Sappho, but plus the children. In 1870 are Fraunce. Chevalierean separated from Julia to ficht as @ captain of the mobiles. After the war Honore sent Julia a few hundred francs now and then to sup- port herself and their four children, but the parents ceased to live together. hen days of black misery came, not for Honore whose father was well off, but for Julia and her four children. One, a girl, died; another married. Honore became nsane and had to be shut up in a mad house. The other two having exhausted every means to support themselves, and their mother resolved to see their father and ask him to help them, Once before they had called upon him, but had been driven away and told that if they came agam they would be chased away. In June, 1888, Ernest cripple, who is a started to visit M. Chevallereau, who lived in bis chateau of Guitardiere near Parthenay. Ernest bought a revolver on the way and practiced with it at o tree. As he did so he said to his brother: “If our father carries out his threat of shooting us at least we can defend ourselves.” ‘They then wrote the following letter to their wother: Parrnexay, June 5, 1838, —Dear Mother: We write you this to tell you that we are going to see our father, We will write you exactly, what Le says.

Ernest dvew his revolver, fired it four times at his father and killed him. Hearing footsteps, Ernest y d Gas- ton on his back and ran off.

POKING FUN AT FRANCE'S NAVY, The American Political Situation as Dished Up For tte Benefit of German Newspaper Readers, The Berlin Riots, [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett. 3 Benuiy, Sept. 8.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tre Bee.]—In spite of the recent baptism, the military parade, and the Sedan celebration, there s very little news in Berlin, und what there is comes mainly from abroad. For instance, the thrilling ac- counts in the foreign press of Berliw's riot have been read with much interest by the Berliners. It is true that there was nothing which equalled the behavior of the Londou crowd after the lord mayor's procession cd by, Several American ladies crossed schloss and opera squarcs after the crowd had surged in without being insulted or annoyed. Many Berliners of the quict, respectable sort aided the demonstration against police red tape without suspecting that they aided riot- ous socialists, and two Americans offered to help hang a policeman if that would keep the police from closing these squares during the cercmony, but unfortunately during this son there are foreign papers which get their news by special insinuations instead of by special wire; so that the Berliners h all the excitement of reading about their riot without any of the danger or loss which would have come with the genuine article. What socialists were in the crowd were not of the conspicuous red handed sort, and every one, whether socialist or capitalist, was good natured. Many felt naturally irritated at being uselessly excluded from every point from which the parade could be seen or concert heard, but the most tragic oceurrence was when a flrunken man used the word “d—" to & policeman, and the most dangerous ruffians were a lot of twelve- year-old lads who felt as American boys would feel at being pushed back out of sight during Barnum’s circus parade. Taken as a whole, the demonstration rather pleases the Berliners, and they are inclined to favor a similar protest against all repetitions of such uselessly brutal police interference with the enjoyment of loyal Berlin citizens. Careless as the young emporer may tempo- rarily be of the rights and pleasures of the Berliners, he seems, nevertheless, 1o take decided pegonal interest in beautifying Ber- lin. Electric lights, which now make Unter den Linden at night one of the most bril- liantly lighted streets in the world, have been pluced®inder his personal attention, and he is a careful and interested observer of the results. When they were first lighted he drove repeatedly up and down the Linden, aiter stopping to give an order or to ask a question. The Post, conservative and semi-official, is just now poking much fun at the French navy. Its latest attempt at a joke is to praise the French forethought in having always with the flecta special vessel to pick up crews of men-of-war collided during the manceuvers. The North German Gazette has also a fling at the common enemy-—this time poor Sir Morrell MacKenzie—and is deftly using the promised publication of his book in the liberal papers to influence the clections against the stupid opposition, The most certain sign of a dull week in Germany is the prinung of editorials on American politics. This week must there- fore have been excessively dull, for every paper has had at least one such editorial- Many editors evidently had to look up America on their atlas before feeling com- petent to discuss its politics, Sowe appar- ently, in the hurry of editorial worlk, turned to South America, but all the remarks were full of interest. The National Zeitung, for instance, represents the average German opinion with the omission of the average geographical and historical errors. It contemptuously dismisses the election with the following: “Every one thought that 1888 would be free from the shock to business interests which is common in American election years. Then thesenate defeated the fishery treaty and President Cleveland brought the retaliation bill. Both proceed- ings are mere election tricks, but played on dangerous ground. The republican party, glorious under Lincoln, has become worse and worse. Naturally it allies itself with those extreme proteetionists from whom it derives its election funds. Candidate Harri- son daily becomes more of a nullity. Blaine is the true leader. Heis chauvinistio in at- tempting to hide his party's deficiencies in reforms. Cleveland has protested against the reelection of any president, but allows himself, nevertheless, to be again a candi- date, put forward by the convention meeting at St, Louis, and composed almost entirely of paid governmeut oficials. Cleveland as candidate recognizes only his party and its election tactics. Begause the democratic wire pullers demanded that Blaine should be out trumped he has brought forward his retaliation bill.» Tu short, according to this kind paper and that, the average German opinion, which it undoubtedly represents, is that the United dead s same their coming States harbors 63,000,000 fools governed some thousands of thicve: wiro pullers who are officials who at best are hy and subject to quadrennial fits of insanil during which the wire pullers fight and pick the lunatics’ pockets—all of which 8o exactly exchoes the opinions so contimually expressed privately by the Germans that it is a relief to have it at last said openly for the mstruction of would-be German emigrants to America, In politics there is much speculation as to the effect on European relations of having Greece 8o strongly bound by marrlage to both Germany and Russia, The new cavalry sabres wero first used in the regular maneuvers at Hamburg. There is & melancholy smile at the announcement that the kaiser will attend the so-called fes- tivities connected with that city into the imperial union, pocrites ‘s entrance In Dresden a through telephone line to Berlin causes real satisfaction.

NGLISH They Realize the Fact That They Are Behind the Times. [Copyright 185 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxnox, Sept. 8.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tre Bee. ] —Gladstone's re- cent specch on fruit farming has apparently instigated the conference of fruit growers at Crystal palace to-day, where a great debate was heard and interesting papers read full of truths and sound practical advice, It was agreed on all hands that the business of fruit growing is mnot carried on in the United Kingdom in the best and most profitable way. This was the confession, personal or vicarious, or of the fruit growers themselves, but a varicty of pleas were put forward and excuses offered n extenuation of the admitted shortcomings. It was claimed that English fruit growing suffers from bad inheritances from a former age; that space wasted and imperfect crops obtained because the old fruit trees are not the right sort to satisfy modern require- ments, The tenant will not plant trees and extend the cultivation of fruit, for when his lease ends in steps the landlord, takes pos- session of the improved property, and then the title owner has still to be reckoned with, Commenting on this conference the Times to day turns from joining in the British abuse of Cleveland and his retaliatory mes- sage to flattery of the the American worship- pers of pomona, and in the course of a leader says: ‘‘The fruit markets of New York arc in singular contrast to our own. There is a wealth supply there, and an all around ex- cellence of quality not known in this coun- try. For many miles inland, and stretching far back on both sides of the Hudson river, New York is covered with fruit trees, The demand has grown with the supply and be- come almost universal among all classes. There is no reason: in the world why London should not be equally well served.” This morning I saw at the junior army and navy stores on Regent street 100 American watermelons, lately arrived per a fast Ger- man Lloya steamer, rapidly selling at six shillings, or #1 50 each. Doubtless soon when John Hoey, who is now here engaged in ex- tending to Europe the ramifications of the Adams’ Express, shall perfect his schemes even all the hitherto presumably perishable American fruit can be lavishly and profitably brought to British tables, as are American apples by the millions e CONCERNING CORSETS. An Eminent Authority Favors Them if Used With Discretion. Copyright 1858 by James Gordon Bennett. Loxpoy, Sept. 8.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bee.]—Eunglish news- papers in all localities have republished Mrs. Cleveland’s social ukase against the bustle and some fashion periodicals also,—all ap- provingly. But the medical protests against corsets were yesterday set at defiance at the sitting of the great British association in Bath, once the most famous watering place known to fashion, by a paper from the pro- fessor of patholygy at Cambridge and his ad- ministrator of pathology, in which the decided opinion was advanced and main- tained by 1illustration and precedents that “the slight pressure involved in wearing stays had a beneficial effect, and that reason- able lacing increased miental will and phys- ical activity,” Several medical gentlemen attacked these views, but those were vig ously upheld by Miss Lydia Barker, who said ‘‘a moderate degree of tight lacing con- duces to woman's comfi and improves her appearance.” In the face of this, the view of a high university authority, endorsed by a scientific lady, it may be worth while to American pathologists to settle the question. - The Troubles in Tanga. Brruiy, Sept. 8.—The following official dispatch has been received : The German gun- boat Moewe went to Tanga, where the Ger- muns were about to assume administration of affairs and sent a boat ashore with a re- connoitering part The natives fired on the party and compelled them to return to the ship.
