Where is Mr. Matthews, home secretary ! he might be up 1 a buloon for aught he knows of what is going on.

Every morning we hear of some new butchery or discovery of human remains, What come over London all at oncet ¥or one thiug, the criminal classes are rapidly increasing. They drift here from every quarter, knowing that amid this vast a hid- wilderness of houses it is casy to find iug place. The police do not increase in pro- portion. Hundreds of miles of street have to be protected every night. The present force is not equal to the task. Some effect, 0, has been produced by the furious and systematic attacks made upon the police by ascetion of the Gladstonian party. Their attacks the police over- cautious, if not timid, and encouraged the lawloss desperadoes who abound in London 10 believe that no one will dare interfere with them, Weare apparently fast getting towards the condition in which Paris was plunged in 1780, There are many circum- stances, indeed, in every direction around us which recall with startling vividness the events that preceded the great French revo- lution. Perhaps it is not the business of the governmect to take uote of them, but they do not escape the observa- tion of other people. Then there s Home Secrctary Mathews, the bete noir of the ministry. Virtually ho is at the head of the police, and there could scarcely be found & moro incompetent person for the po- sition. Wrapped up in himself to an unhe: of degree, contemptuous of public opinion, he blunders on from one mistake to another, never doing the right thing at the right mo- ment, and but seldom doing it at all. After such a series of horrible murders as in White Chapel, imagine his leaving to a private member of parliament to offer a beggarly ro- ward of £100 for the discovery of the assas- sins. Long ago there ought to have becn a government reward offered of at least five times the amount. Matthews has it in his power to name any amount. He does noth- Ing. He is composing a specch for Birming- ham and probably has no idea of whut is going on in White Chapel. ‘The,whole po- lice force know that his head is in the clouds. The detective force cannot do anything but cateh a well known Irish member now and then, and even when so engaged it some- es pounces down on the wrong man. The :d of detectives deseribed by Dickens is extinet in England. Matthews has brought nothing but ill luck to the ministry. He freated the Miss Cass with contempt, and brought defeat upon the government. He narrowly escaped a similar blunder in connection with the Sal- vation army. His vacillating was the main cause of the Trafalgar square disturbance. In the house of commons his bearing is de- testable. The late Justice Maule once said 10 an insolent barrister: “Sir, if you were 4he Almighty addressing a black beadle, your manaers would be offeusive.” That precisely describe’s the home secretary's manpers. Every time he speaks he scts somebody's back up against him. Lord Randolph Churchill got him his appointment, not, perhaps, knowing much more about him than that he ran Sir Charles Dilkes to earth by his prosecution in the famous trial, but Matthews took the earliest opportunity of rewarding Lord Randolph by turaing around upon him and striving to do him all the have rendered harm he possibly ecould. The ery is raised that he ought to leave the ministry, but the Jonah will mnot g0, and therc is a strange re- luctance to “pitch bim overboard. The ministry, above all things, dreads changes. It is a very comfortable little family party now and why run any risk of importing ele- ments of discord into it! The ministers may have faults, but they are all obedient to the the chief. They may not do their duty to the country but they take good care uot to be wiser than their buetters. As for the murders in White Chapel, af ter all, what is the good of making a fuss about them! Something or other is always going wrong in White Chapel, therefore unless this breeze grows into a storm Matthews will £0 muddling in the old way and the ministry will suffer wuch damage. Soclal causes will sometimes overthrow the strongest party o less’ than a grave 'political mistake, think of that, but Lord Salisbury, if he has had time to read about the White Chapel murders, must see the danger ahead if the home secretary is not changed and the police greatly hampered up. We shall soon have vigilance committees established in our midst and it would not be remarkable if s#me of the persons who are now clamoring for Judge Lynch should find themselves among the first to stand trembling under a lamp post. . A MeMBER OF PARLIAMENT, s A PLAY WRIGHT'S SULCIDE, His London Friends Cannot Assign a Cause. [Copyright 1858 by Jumes Gordon Bennett.] Loxvox, Sept. 15.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tre Bee]—The alleged suicide in the Hoffman house, first made known on this side in the Paris edition of the Herald, seems from the stories of friends of E. V. Secbohm here to be involved i great mystery to them. nd the motive of his registering under the name of Lawrence Herbert, nor being without money. His family reside some part of the ar in Shefleld where his father is con rned in a large steel marufactory and 18 well-to-do, and a part of the year in London. The firm is Secbohm & Dieckstahl, with large offices ot 110 Cannon street, London City. The young playwright could have had all the money he wanted and his mother was very fond of him. None of the family were av their suburban house yesterday or to-day and only the ser chargo They cannot unders e ants were in who had heard nothing of the subject. Isaw Eugene C. Stafford, manager for Sophie Byre at the Gaicty, and who is a brother of the well known sou- brette, Leonora Bradley. He was an intimate friend of Secbohm. He said: “If the story be not a case of mistaken iden- tity I cannot understand the suicide nor the useof an assumed name. I saw him after the court had prohbited his version of “Fauntleroy” and it did not seem to effect his spirits. 1 bade him good bye for America and he was in good spirits, saying he needed a change of scene to recruit his health.” Mr. Hamilton Stuart, secrotary to Horace Sodger, lessco of the Prince of Wales theater, where Secbohm’s version was played, de- scribed Seebohn as a tall, slim, large-feat- ured, clean-shaven and rather Frenchy-look- ing young man, and somewhat melancholy naturally. When his version was first started it was a great success, but when he was lo- gally stopped he kept away from the theater. At the hearing of the case in court he was absent. His father came here to the theater anxiously looking for him. So did his solicitors, who thought if they could have procured his personal at- tendance it would have gained the case. Mr. Stuart added: Tshould personally think him likely to commit suicide.” When asked if there was any financial trouble, Mr. Stuart said, “Nothing serious. He owed Seeger a to make Seebohm him to leave the balance, but not enough bankrupt, nor compel country." The fact is that after he left England nothing whatever is known on this sideof his movements or plans, and as yet no circum- stances surrounding s death upon which to found conjectures are known on this side. e THE FLORIDA SCOURGE. o Ninety-Three New Cases Reported From Jacksonville Yesterday. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 15.—The long session of wet weather, followed by a few hours of sunshine, has had the effect of rap- idly developing mew cases of fever, The record to-day was badly broken, ninety-three new cases being reported to the board of health. Ouly one death, however, was re ported, and that of an infant. A numbor of people’ are critically ill, and it is feared that there will be another large list of dead to morrow.

THE KAISER VERY ENTHUSIASTIC, But the Matter Ceases to Excite the Interest of the Public. THE STROSSMAYER INCIDENT. View of the Affair Taken at the German Capital. NO SYMPATHY FOR THE BISHOP Emperor Francis Joseph's Course Very Generally Commended— A Wholesale Expulsion of Socialists Expected. Goy ¥From Berlin, [Copyright 188 by New York Associated Press.) BERLIN, Sept. 15, —Invested with as much of pomp and circumstance of war as can be associated with an experiment, tho campaign around Munchberg proceeds vigorously. The kaiser's cnthusiasm has in- fected the ofcers and men. All reports concur as to the admirable behavior of the troops, the display of masterly tactics by the generals, and the splendor of the campaigu as a spectacle. mimic The public is surfeited with these accour and the kaiser's playing at war has ceased to interest the people, yot the whole nation is gratified to s » that his un- tiring physical encrgies are equal to his zeal. Auny doubt arising from uu- friendly rumors regarding the emperor's health has been dispelled by his bodily exertion from ea night, and by the'keen m played by him. field at critical moments, and attends to minutest details. The battle groups his ofticers around him critique on the day's mancuvers, leaving Prince Albert, the chief umpire of the neuvers, to give nominal assent. Distin guished amongst the foreign visitors are the Archduke Albrecht, of Austria, and the Granduke Nicholas, of Russia, The Arch- duke Albrecht has had an especially cordial reception from the emperor and Gorman severe y morning until ntal activity dis the the endel, he He is eve ywihe and gives a ma generals, partly on account ot his repite as aleader of the war party. Being desirous of divesting his presence at the of a political aspect, the Arch- duke Albrecht has aused the semi-ofticial press to state that he repudiates all connection with politics; that he is neither a peace nor a war man, and that his only aim is to obey the orders of his commander. Army circles do not take this deuial seri- ously. At the close of the day's work the emperor dines with thirty guests The press notes with lively satisfaciion that the emperor, coinciding with tho general official effort to suppress the use of the French Janguage, has ordevel that the monus be couched entirely in German. The word “menu” becomes now “speisekarten.” The Kalnoky-Bismarck conference opens on Monday. Count Kalnoky will leave Vienna to-morrow and will be the guest of Prince Bismarck for soveral days. Count Herbert Bismarck will take in the interviews between the chaucellor and Count Kalnoky., The con ference is thought to be a new move on the part of Bismarck to Austrian support for a project to reconcile the quirinal and vatican to assist him in the struggle with the Gor- man clericals and to make memorable Empe- ror William's visit to Rome. The Strossmayer incident, disclosing the growth of the pro-Russian sympathy through- out Austriu's slavonic provinces, is hailed in Berlin as tending to cause Austria to feel the absolute necessity for a German alliance which will resulu in the secured dominion of Prince Bismarck over the Austrian policy. It is Dbelieved that whatever Prince Bismarck’s plans aro regarding the papacy, Count Kaluoky will be constrained to cur. Premier Crispi’s menaced opposition will become nullified, and he will be either to accept them or resign. It is expected that the Prussian budeet will show not less than 100,000,000 warks sur- plus. The uational liberals desire to devote a portion of this sum to a reduction of the state railway tariffs, while the conservatives wisli to lessen property taxation. A congress of national liberals will meet at Hanover on October 13to reform the elec- toral committee and choose a new leader. With the exception of the clerical press, all the German und Austrian newspapers praise Emperor Francis Joscph’s public rebuke of Bishop Strossmayer. The text of the bishop’s message to the Kieff celebrants was as follows: ‘“‘May Rus- 81, aided by Providence and Christian hero- ism, accomplish, bosides her other tasks, that great mission which the Almighty has en- trusted to her.” ‘Thisis held to be an open iuvocation of the diviue blessing upon Ru in her attempt to absorb the Austro- Slav people. 1t is reported that Count Kalnoky, in an interview with the papal nuncio, advised that Bishop Strossmayer be deposed. Advices from St. Petersburg disclosed considerable popular fecling in favor of Bishop Stross- mayer, The semi-official press describe the action of Emperor Francis Joseph as a pain- ful jindication of a policy calculated not only to wear out the patience of Russia towards Austria, buv to augment the antagonism of the German elements in the empire of Haps- burg. § The houses of five socialists at Oppen- burg have been scarched and a large number of pamphlets seized. Twelve arrests, includ- ing that of Dr, Kolther, have been made at Frankfort-on the Main, Journalist Geck of the Basel Arbeiter Freund protests against the affair as a police *‘plant.” The socialists have reason to expect wholesale expulsions under the state of siege at Nuumburg, Al- tona and Harburg. . 1 The comunittee of the Reichebank has post- maneuv con- forced poned its decision on the bank rate until Monday. To-day being 8 Jewish festival, the bourse was virtually elosed, An international agreement regarding the price of rails has not yet been arranged. Delegates from the German rail works went to London but failed to obtain any definite result. They will return to resume negotia- tions next week. The government has declined to subscribe to a fund for the relief of Emin Bey. The public has not subscribed as freely as was expected. The promoters of the German colonial company maintain that the bulk of necessary funds have been obtained, but this is doubtful. The independent press ad- vises the company not to mix the rescue of Emin Bay with commorcial projects if it hopes to succeed in an appeal to the people, ? i 2 FRENCH MILITARY MANEUVERS, A Splendid Exhibition of Cavalry—A Pleasing lacident.

The first day the patient should be given thirty-five to forty-tive grammes of sulphate of soda. The next he should take forty to fifty grammes Carter’s oil in two or three doses.

Qi Bl A Disaster Narrowly Averted. Nowrn Apaws, Mass., Sept. 15.—A terrible disaster was narrowly averted in the Hoosac tunnel this afternoon, when sixty-nine work- men employed in the tunnel were overcome by coal gas from a passing locomotive. After the last engine had passed through the tunnel the flagman reported to Overseer McGrath that the trackmen in the 8,000 feet section and the electric light men in the 6,000 feet section were overcome. Expross No. 83 had just entered the tunnel and McGrath ordered it flagged, which proved & wise precaution. A rescuing party was then organized and the men were found lying on and along the track some partially and some wholly overcome. Had the expross train entered the slaughter must have been terrible. 1t is thought that two of the cases will prove fatal. pabidnd Aol i The Fire Record.
