PART 1. E1GHTEENTH YEAR. THE OMAHA | OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 16, 1850 REACHING ENGLAND. Oronin’s Death and the Verdict of the Coroner's Jury. INFLUENCING PUBLIC OPINION. The Pall Mall Gazette on the Grave Situation, ADVICE TO THE IRISH PARTY. Mrs. Sullivan’s Lotter to the Herald Read With Respset. LEAGUE FUNDS RUNNING LOW. The Nationalists Inactive in Parlia- ment and Out—Parnell and Bal- four Contrasted—A Bad State of Affairs. Discussing the Olan-na-Gael. LoxpoN, June 15.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur Bre.]—Scarcely any ovent, present or to come, not oven the gath- ering of war clouds in Europe, attract the serious attention of the observant portion of the public o much as the pronouncement of the coroner's jury in Chicago with regard to the Clan-na-Gael, and the arrest of Alexan- der Sullivan. There are some occurrences which take every body by surprise, and these stand foremost amongst them. mething 18 always happening to cause perturbation in the Irish party. Itisa large party, with ramifications extending to various parts of the world, and who can say, at any mowment, ‘what will come to light or what will happen nexti A is an honorable man, but with him are associated B and C, and so on down to Y. ‘Who knows what the tail party *‘Y,” is do- ing, or may have done at some time or other, A is all right, but he may have very serious doubts in his heart about Y, and yet all may be compro- mised in the eyes of the public by the rash or lawiess acts of any prominent member of the organization. That is just how the matter stands with the nationalists to-day, it being alloged that their associationz is being stained by crime, or “dogged by crime,” as Gladstone once put it. No doubt it is thav accusatiou, or suspicion, which caused the league to be regarded askance by many who long to rejoin Gladstone and the regular branch of the liberal party. “lt would be absurd,” remarked the Pall Mall Gazette, the other night, “‘to connect a private ven- detta or Dr. Cronin's enemies with the wider issues of the Irish politics.” Nobody has done 8o, in publie, but the wvery eagerness with which the Pall Mall Gazette comes out with its protest shows that it guesses what is going on in the peo- ple’s minds. When they hear of these doings. of the Clan-na-Guel and the finding of the Chicago jury and Sullivan's incident, they can not help connecting them with Irish politics, generally. Caliit absurd, or unjust, or what you please, but that will not alter the direction in which the current of thought and opinion is running. @ The Irish party is certainly unlucky, What 18 very needful for it 18 to have vhe past bur- jed and to live in quasi retirement until Gladstono has had another chance of seeing ‘what he could do for it, but the past will not. keep buried. Every now and then it pokes its claws through the tbin soil, and drags down somebody or other with it. As far as Alexander Sullivan is concorned there certainly will be every disposition, here, not to prejudice his case, and even to hope that he will be able to clear himself. Mrs. Sullivan’s letter to the Herald has been read with respect, and her impassioned de- fense of her husband must tend to produce a certain degree of feeling in his favor. After all, however, the judgment of friends and re- lavions can not decide the terrible question, which is now awaiting a solution in Chicago. The attention of the world has been drawn to the remarkable chain of eveats which cul- minated in the murder of Dr, Cronin, and it can not be diverted from them. All subse- quent stages of the proceedings will be watched with the deepest interest. and in spite of certain coherent remarks about the Irish vote, which have appeared in some of our papers here, confldence is generally felt that justice will be done. Lf ali the guilty porsons are not discovered, that ought not to excite any surprise n London, where every few weeks a woman is cut up and scatteved about the streets without u trace being found of the assassin. Tt would be strange if the Irish leaders here did not feel a profound concern about the Cronin case and the measures taken agoainst Alexander Sullivan., If iv be true that Cronin discovered & great malversation in the administration of the funds of the National league, aud that for this he was doomed to death, they cannot fail to have serious misgivings as to their organization n the United States. No control can be exercised over it, at this distance, and yet to some ex- tent the Irish leaders here are held responsi- ble for it. The leaders on both sides of the Atiantic have often been in the most confl- dential alliance, Alexander Sullivan, him- self, was president of the American branch of the Land league in 1883, Your own col- umus have made known to us that he was once within an ace of being offered the nomi- mation for the vice presidency. He was an important man, one who must have had very close relations with the heads of s party in Ireland, but it does not follow that the latter knew anything whatever about his method of carrying on his organization. Still it is unfortunate that this dreadful scandal should have ocqurred in any section of the Irish ranks, Things do not appear to be going particu- larly smooth with the party, Dillon is evidently making rather poor progress in Australia, almost as poor as Wil llam O'Bricn made in Canads, except that Dillon is prudent, aud does not seek to - flame tho popular passions. It does not, Rowever, look as il money were rolling in vory fast. Fuunds at headquarters wust be gottng very low, for the plan of campaign s very expensive, and so is the commission, which 1s now certain to draw its slow length along until autumn. Meanwhile the party is silent and ivactive, and is doing abso- Jutely nothing in parhament or out of it. Inuction always looks to the common eye ike weakness. Somotimes it really 1s so. ‘What is being said now, in almost all divec- tions, some poople may likke and some may not; but, undoubtodly the talk runs like this: “The Parnelliles are sinking fast. Bal- four is winniog all alonz the line, Inanother yuar you will not be avle to tind the Irish party with a telescope. Firmuoss hus done what we always said it would. Nobody thought there was much in Balfour, but you see lie has been too many for the plan of campaign and all the rest of it. He had his chance and he made the most of it. Exit Parnell & Co.” Not alittle premature, in my humble opin- fon, is such boasting as this, but still it goes on everywhere. As any well-informed man would be compelled to admit the public soon take up an idea which is dinned persistently Into them, and {f they are told a thing often enough they believe it. They hear now, on all sides, that Parnellism is played out, that the game is up, that the party has gone to pieces in Eng- land, and holds together with diffeulty in Ircland; that for the moment it is under a low and heavy cloud in America, and stands at a discount in Australin. Thoy may be all wrong, but these are the impressions which events are making upon the general multi- tude. Idescribe them to you bocause thoy are facts, and vory important facts, but it is beyond my province to draw any conclusions from them. A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. prt e Eieafin] BOTH CLAIMED THE CHILD. A Sensational Scene in a Cincinnati Court Room. CiNcixyam, June 15.—|Special Telegram to Tur Bre.]—A sensational scene was cnated this morning in the court of com- mon pleas, The judge has had in hearing and under consideration for several months an unusual habeas corpus case, where two wormen claim to be mother of the child for whom the writ was issued. Miss Kate Schaller averred that she gave birth to an illecitimate child and placed it in the hands of Mrs. Humbser, a midwife, to dispose of, and that Mrs, Humbser placed it in the fam- ily of W.J. White to be adopted. Subse- quently Miss Schaller wished ‘to recover possesaion of the child and applied to Mrs. White, when that lady informed her that the baby she had was not an adopted child, but was her own. The testimony before the court was most conflicting. To-day the judgo was to render a decision, but Mrs. White ap- peared in court without the child. When asked Dby the court where it was, Mrs. White, in a determined manner, answered: ‘“Judge Out- calt, I understood you were going to decide against me and [ have protected my child. T know the conscquences, and am here to abide by them, and if 1 have to stay in prison ten years I am satisfied, provided that at the ena of that timo I have my darlinz.” This reply of course made a sensation. Her attorney promptly disclaimed haviug advised this course of action, and asked that his cli- ent have tiwe to reflect. The court said that if Mrs. White did not produce the child she must suffer the consequences of contempt of court, and ho sliowed her till noon to con- sider. The resolute mother for two hours was urged by her atiornoy and friends to produce the child, but at the end of that time she remained firm and went bravely to jail under sentence of the court for contempt. Meantime the judge withheld his decision of the merits of the case. Smnihal WYOMING WOMAN SUFFRAGE. A Dem nd For Recognition in the New Constitution, CuEYENNE, Wyo., June’15.-—[Special Tele- gram to 'Tur BER.]—A mass meeting of sev- eral hundred ladies or this city was held n Keefe hall this evening for the purpose of taking some action regarding the adoption of woman suffrage in the state constitution, The meeting was presided over by Mrs. M. E. Post, wife of the ex-delegate to congress, and the vice-presideat of the Wyoming Nu- tional Suffragist's ussociation, and Mrs. Francis Hale, widow of the lute Governor Hale, acted as secrotary. Several spirited speeches were made by the ladies present and finally adopt- ©d a8 the sense of the meeting that, ““Whereas, The women of Wyoming terri- tory believe that the immediate admission of Wyomiug, with & wise constitution, would be the most effective way of securing to her citizens the enjoyment of rights asd privi- leges to which they are entitled; and, ““Whereas, The women of Wycming have enjoyed the right of suffrage for more than twenty years, a right conferred upon them by the first legislative assembly in Wyoming, in 1869; and, “Whereas, That right has always been ex- ercised by tho women on the side of morality and good government, and is valued as an in- estimable privilege; and, Whereas, The women of Wyoming believe that the constitution of a state ordained to form a more perfect government, to estab- lish justice and secure the blessing of lib- erty to all, should confer the right of woman suffrage. Now, therefore, beit resolved: That we, the women of Wyoming, in mass meeting assembied, respectfully ask that our claim to this inestimable right of suffrage, receive, at the hunds of the honorable members of the proposed constitutional couvention, fa- verable consideration, Resolved, hat we demand of the consti- tutioual conyention that woman suflrage be afirwed iv the state convention, B ARRAIGNED IN COURT.

WasuiNaroy, June 14, —~The Haytien lega- tion here, to-day, received the following cablegram from the secretary of war at Port- au-Prince: Situation good. Reports of Hyppolyte's success arc false. Perfect tranquility roigns in the west and south, All lives are el clently guacied, AT PINE RIDGE AGENOY. The Sioux Commissioners Will Have a Harder Task. Pixe Rivon, via Rushville, June 15.—[Spe- cial Telegram to Tre Bek.|—Three councils were held in the camps, to-day, at which Governor Foster put in an appearance and gave the Indians a little nformal talk, set- ting forth the purposes for which the com« mission had come among them, alluding in- cidentally to the success of the negotiations at the Rosebud agency. Speeches were made by several of the prominent older Indians, which discovered a strong spirit of opposition to the treaty. Among others may be mentioned, Red Cloud, Big Road, and White Antelope, as the most earnest in their opposition to the treaty. Red Cloud has at last openly declared him- self as against any sale of land, expressing himsolf to the effect that his people needed all the land which they now possess, and that to properly induct them into the mysteries of the white man's civilization all this land would be required without the relinquish- ment of an acre. Taken as a whole the situation here seems similar to that at Rosebud when the commis- sion camo there, The mixed bloods and white men intermarried into the tribe are in favor of the bill, knowing this to be the Jnost advantageous offer ever made or ever likely to bemade. The acknowledged leader of the younger and more progressive Indians here is Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse, and he leads the advocates of the treaty. He 1s credited with the expression ‘‘When my friend, General Crooks, comes and tells me what to do, I shali do it, for I know he has a good heart towards the Indians.” With him one, Fast Thunder, No Flesh and Six Feath- ers. There are at this agency about five vhou- sand six hundred Indians, with 1,830 adults, not including the white men, who will be al- lowed a voice in the matter through the con- nection with the tribe by marriage. These people are arrayed for or against the bill, with u large number on the fence, ready to climb down on the side where there is the most numerovs crowd or the juciest beef steak. The Indian Defense association, through its secretary and paper, the Council Fire, bas been opposing the present treaty, and to this may be attributed the strong opposition of Red Cloud and his followers, as Dr, Bland has a powerful influence over this chief. When Red Cloud returned from Washing- ton, recently, a change had come over the spirit of his dreums, and he came out openiy in his advice to his band to oppose the bill, Coming shortly after the snub to the Incian Defense association committee, this may be an effect of that cut from Secretary Noble. L TR i o SPURGEON IN CHICAGO. He Says the Windy City is More Re- ligious Than London. CRI1CAGO, June 15.—[Special Telegram to Tre Bee.|—Rev. Charlos Spurgeon, pastor of the Baptist church at Greenwich, Eng. land, is stopping for a few days in this city. In conversation with areporter he said his only business in this country was that of resting and regaining his health. With ref- erence to christian work in this country com- pared with that in England, Mr. Spurgeon sais “I can hardly give you an opinion on that point, for I have seen so little of it, having attended only one church since I landed. But I must say that Iwas not very favorably impressed with that. It was a Methodist church in Sun Francisco, and the minister talked during the whole eveningon the labor question. Still, it is not far to judge the whole country by one church, There is one thing I do notice, and which I find much superior to anything like it in Hngland, and that is the work among the young men. The Y. M. C. A, is wonderful organization, and I am convinced that it is doing a wonderful work among the youths of the country.” To the question as to how Chicago com- pared with London from a religious stand. point, Mr. Spurgeon said he thought this city could out-do London in that matter, es- pecially in regard to Sunday observance. B T AN INTERESTING LUIBEL SUIT. Williams, of the Minneapolis Tribune, Sues the St. Joseph Gazette, Sr. Joseen, Mo, June Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee. |—An interesting libel suit for $50,000 damages was begun in the United States circuit court in this city by Charles Alf Williams, at present managing editor of the Minneapolis 'Cribune, against the St, Joseph Daily Gazette. Until two weeks ago und since last January, Mr. Williams had been managing editor of the Herald of this city, and a newspaper fight bebween him and C. F. Cochran, editor of the Guzette, re- sulted in the publication by the latter, two weeks ago, of the charge that Williams, while connected with the Minneapolis ‘Pribune in October, 1857, had written the notorious editoriul reflecting on President Cleveland and his wife and published during the time they were the guests of Minneapoi The editorial in question was written by Dr. Shaw, of the Tribune editorial force, at the dictation of Mr. Haskell, part owner of the paper, and an explanation to this effect was published in the Tribune shortly after- wards over Mr. Haskell's signature. Mr, Wiliiams has as his attorneys United States Senator C. K. Davis, of Minnesota: Major William Warner, of Kansas City, commander in chief of tne grand Army of the Republic, and the Hon. John 8. Crosby, of Kansas City. 'he United States judges before whom the case will be tried are Brewer, of Leav- cnworth, Kan,, and Phillips, of Kansas City. The Gazette is owned by C. C. Burnes and D. D, Burnes, son of Congressman James N, Burnes, deceased, and Samuel B. Green. Cochran is the editor of the paper. Each of the above has been made a party to the suit. e Gladstone's Plea for Ireland. Loxoox, June 15.—[Special Cablegram to Tne Bre ] —Gladstone addressed an enthu- swastic mass meeting in drill hall at Plymouth last evening, dealing at length with the Irish question, He maintained, first, that the sep- aration of a dependency had never been caused by the granting of autonomy; second, that separation had in numerous cases been caused by a refusal of autonomy, and, third, that there were abundant cases in which separation can be prevented by gracting au- tonomy. Gladstone supported these proyosi- tions by reference to colonial -history, At the beginning of his public career, he said, there was not a colony that was not held by precarious tenure; but since being granted the fullest liberty in the management of their cwn affairs, all had been bound strongly to the empire. He appealed to the natuion to give the sawe liberty to Ireland. ——— e The Arthur morial Unveiled, ALBaNY, June 15.—The handsome granite and bronze memorisl erected at the grave of the late President Chester A.

[Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennett.] Paris, June 15.—[New York Herald Cablo —Special to Tne Bee]—The Prince of Wales has often been out ta the meets of the two English driving clubs; sometimes at those of the four-in-hand clubs, on the drags of the Duke of Beaufort or Lord Willoughby Dersley; sometimes at those of the couching clubs upon the drags of Lord Carrington or Lord Charles Beresford, but never until yesterday had he been in Paris when the French Societe des Gindes, a8 it is officially called, were holding one of theirjmeets. So that when it was known that hs royal high- ness and son had accepted the proposal of M. Leon Lambert to let him drive them out toj Autewll, the other members of the club who have teams in Paris made a point of Dbringing them out, the result being that there was such a meet as had never before been wit~ nessed. The trysting place was as usual, the Place de la Concorde, and though only eighteen coaches assembled, thero were several oth- ers who cut in on the way to Auteuil, and when they all drew up in line opposite the stand the total reached twenty-five, this be- ing nearly as many as wers at the coaching club meet in Hyde Park a fortnight ago. In former years the coaches have not met until 2 o'clock, but as the Prince de Sagan was anxious to have them there before the racin began the hour was changed to 1, and coach- ing men being nothing if not punctual, the midday meal was hurried through and by the time fixed for the meet five or six coaches drawn up in the Circle de la Royale. For thé next ten or fifteen min- utes coaches continued to arrive, and shortly before the half hour Mr, T.ambert, who was driving his own horses in Haron de Roths- child’s coach, showed tig way to his eclub members. He had a rat ponsible task considering that the heir to the throne of England und the latter’s eldest son were among his passengers. - The prince, who was wearing a light sum- mer suit and white hat, had declined a box ‘seat, which was filled by Prince Albert Victor, and was sitting immediately. behind the driver with the Duchess De Morny, and beside him M. Lambert, who was driv- ing four handsome bays, Wwhich were more like coach horses than most of those one sces at tho present day. Ho had several other passengers, including Mr. Reuben Sassoon and Mr. Willoughby, and he kept his horses going at a_regular gallop past the Champs Elysees and through the Avenue Dubois to Auteuil, so that there was no excuse if the others did not keep their dis- tance. The parade was a very pretty one even if the sun was not shining so brightly as one would have wished. Stiil, with the recollections cf the many wet Fridays, when this avenue meet has been spoilt by rain, one could not be otherwise thun thankful for the fine day. The scene at Auteuil, too, was as pic- turesque as it well could be, for the Prince de Sagan and his colleagues were waiting to receive the coaches as, with three out-riders in scarlet, they drove on to the park. M. Lambert, driviog his team with much care, brought his coach upon the extreme end of our line to the left. The order in which the teams came was: General Count Do Frriant, bay wheelers, chestnut black leaders; M. Ferdinand Bis- choffsheim, bays and browns; M. Henri Ridgeway, bay wheelers, brown leaders; Prince Troubetsky, browns; Count Po- tocki, brown wheelers, bay chestout leaders; Mr, Robert Winthrop, three bay and a brown; M. De Cacarelle, bay and grey as wheelers, brown chestout leaders; M. De Vignancourt, bays; Viscompte D'Ar gincourt, brown and chestnut wheelers, bay and brown leaders; Count Geydon, grey and bay wheelers, bay leaders; Marquis Du Bourg, brown whcelers, chestout grey leaders; Prince Murat, three brown greys; M. Pignatel, chestout brown wheelers, brown leaders; Earl of Shrewsbury, Talbot bays; Comte de Grammont D'Aste, three bays and chestnut; Comte D'Amilly, three chestnuts and grey: M. Heori Schoeider, three bays and brown; ;M. Galice, brown grey wheelers, brown chestnut leaders; M. De Maulde, three bays and grey; M. D'Ela, bays; M. Dussant D'Agmgnt, three greys and bay; Marquis de Guiluinauson, bays aud was, crossed, M. Orsetu, bay wheelers, ut leaders, and M, Chary, grey bay wh grey chestnut leaders. kb Several of these teams/were not only ex- cellent as regards the quality of the horses, but were well put together and well turned out, notably that of Mr. ‘Winthrop, who had thie pleasure of showing Auteuil under the best auspices to Whitelaw Reid, the new minister, @nd his wife wm a dress of French grey. v M. Henri Ridgeway’s tédm was also a very smart one, and among the many passengers carried by him were the Duc de Grammont, Comte and Comtesse di Brigoli and M. de Coutant Biron, Rut it would carry me too far wera I to at- tempt anythiog L & list of the notable people out, though I must not forget to men- tion Lord Shrewsbury’s coach, for not only had he four very smart horaes, but he was accompanied by s sister, Lady Hemsley, by Countess M. Grey and Madame de Pour- tales-in a straw colored foulard, who ocou- pied the box seat. On Prince Murat's coach M. Pignatel had the pleasare of dgjving Mrs, Henry Oppen- beim, who wore & black lace costume which was one of the most baudsowe seen in Auteuil. » The occupants of the coaches did wot,with @ few exceptions, remain on them while the racing was on, but went acrpss to the stand, where everything was dome to make them feel at home. There was not any great crowd on the lawn, but the cream of Paris had assembled there, and among them wore tho Princess de Witternich, 1 a very stylish dress of mauve satin, with with tablier cream-colored lace; the Duchess d'Cazes, in the Comtesse do Pourtales and her daughters, in white; the Comtesse Greyffulbe, who had o first empire dress of mauve, with long echarpe of the same tint, and the duchess of Manchester, with M'dlle Yznaga. Then on the male side wero the Ducs de la Tromoilla Luynes and Caumont la Forco, the Marquis of Hartington, Lord Charles Montague, Count Kizinsky, Mr. Montague Thorp, Mr. Barron Hutton and Mr, Austin Lee, of the British embassy, The racing was enjoyable, but does not call for any special notic ——— RENOVATING NAPLES, Seventeen Thousand Houses to Be Pulted Down.

No Rubbor Trust, Bostoy, Mass., June 15.--{Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee, |—The New York Tribune created a sensation by announcing that a meeting was held in Boston, Monday, by rep- resentatives of all rubber manufacturers to establish a ruober trust. This led one of the leading manufacturers in New England to make public the true meaning of the meet- ing. He emphatically denies uny intentions of forming a rubber trust. There was a meeting of representatives of the leading firms in the United States and Canada,called to consider a petition generally signed by the trade, to consider some schemo by which the prices of rubber boots und shoes might be steadied and regulated. A committee was appointed to decide on the best plan, which the delegates promised to adopt. Their names are withheld, and they will report to the chairman appointed at the meeting, who will call the representatives together again. This, it must be borne in mind, pertains solely to boots and shoes, and to no other kind of rubber goods. e Shadowed by Detectives.

JOHN VITZGERALD'S VIEWS, W hat He Thinks of the Dr. Cronin Af- far, Lixcory, Neb., June 15.—[Speclal Tele- gram to Tug Bee.|—[n an interview with President Fitzzerald, of the Irish National league of America, this evening, he ex- pressed himself at some length on tho mys- terious murder or disappearance of Dr. Cronin. He doubted some that the body found was that of Dr, Cronin. Many persons of close observation agreed with him that the identifications at the inquest were not absolutely conclusive, and that they were promoted more by the excitement over his disappearance and the finding of a body than by any real resemblance. He took some stock in the statement mado by the Tozonto reporter, who said that he saw Cronin some days after s disappearance, and the fact thut the corpse found had & goatee, while the doctor wore none, would scem to cast doubt over theidentifications. It might be that the doc tor was dead, and it might be that he was in hiding te create 4 sensation, or that he had been made a prisoner by the secret encmies of the British governmant, In either event, the evidence pointed more directly to the English secrot agents thun to anyone elso. They would have a motive. Dr. Crorin was a member of a faction of a physical feree society, and, as a bitter fighter, had made many enemies among the Ir leaders. His murderor disappearance would tend to bring discredit on the Irish causd everywhere and disgrace to the leaders. This had been the vesult, so far, in a meas- ure, but time would right all these things, whether Dr. Cronin was dead or alive. He was confident in the belief in Alexander Sul- livan’s entire innocence, and declured most emphatically that the Cronin excitement hud nothing to do with the postonement of the meeting of the National league, President Fitzgerald's Letter.

Fitzgerald’s lotter 1s as follows: “The members of the Irisk National league of America are luw-abiaing citizens of the United States, and hold wurder in as much abhorrence as any other element of the com- munity can possibly do. Honost men are not necessitated to protest their honesty, and the league has uo mneed to protest its horror of the murder, None but those whose wish is the father to the thought, would for au instant couple the name of the Irish National league, of America, with crime, much less with the deplorable tragedy of which your city has been the theater, ~ Thers s, therefore, no no- cesssity for protests or apologies of any kind from the Irish National League of America in connection with the murder of Cronin, A foul crime has been committed, the laws of the country have been outraged and it is the duty of the officers of the law to find out and punish the criminals, LIONS OF THE HOUR, The Amorican Dologation Receive Oongratulations.

THE MEMORY OF FREDERICK, At the Anniversary of His Death All Past Bitterness is Forgotten in tho Realization of His Virtues, Berlin News, [Copyright, 1850, by New York Associated Pross.) Berriy, June 15.—Tho American delegates to tho Samoan conference are much compli- mented on the result of their labors, Wil m Walter Phelps is regarded by every one as tho coming United States minister, though he himself denies that ho hus been offered the position. The official peess is disinelined to dwell upon the matter of tho Samoan settlement, all glory of which is lost to Germany, and a brief paragraph in the North German Ga- zette, in conclusion of the conference, states that the agrecment was urrived at with per= fect unanimity by the powers represented, and to the satisfaction of all partics cons cerned. To-day being the anniversary of tho death of Emperor Frederick, memorial services wore held in the Friedenskirch at Potsdam, All the merbers of the royal family, min- 1sters and high ofcials, were present. The choir of the Church of the Twelve Apostles sang the late emveror's favorite hymns. The emperor and empress placed wreaths upon the tomb and remained kneeling besido it for a long time. The Reichsanzeiger dwells upon the recollection of Bmperor Frederick’s fruitful lubors for the empire, “hich, In royal circles and in German and Prussian history and in the hearts of Ger- mans, have lefv ineffacoable traces, which will ever be a source of vatriotic inspira- tion.” The majority of the papers make respectful and roverent allusions to the anni versary, but few revive the unseemly strife of yuars ago, The shah, to-day, instead of paying his expected visit to Krupp's works, spent ane other day at Wilhelshohe, inspecting all points of interest, including the room which Napoteon IIL occupied after the Sedan, | The statement vhat M.

The report of a somi-oficial telegtam from Belgrade to-night declaring the story unfounded has tended to restore confidence That alarm {3 felt is evidenced by the re- newal of the official press attacks upon Rus- sian credit during the past week, which re- acted unfavorably upon German securities, Tho Russian minister to Germany was nego- tiating with the leading houses here in rela- tion to the conversion of c: ways. The North Germ: referred to the proposed operation as illegal, and even the hberal Vossische Zeitung warned the German investors to unload Rus- sian stock as speedily as possible, in readi- ness for the mevitablelife and death struggle between Russia and Germany, A committes of the bourse is expected to deliver an opin- ion Monday on the legality of the yproposed conversion, but i is felt that the government, would not have exposed German capital to heavy losses except to avert still greater dangers, and that had Balkan affairs been peaceful nothing would have becn heard of the illegality of the conversion scheme. ‘The Servian government has refused to renew its commercial treaty with Austriae Hungary, which expires in 1800, Everything indicates that the Russian party in Helgrado is confident of its ascendancy, and is work- ing to effect some definite aim, and that its schemes can only end in precipitating war or in the peaceable partition of the Balkan states between Austria and Russia, It is expected a compromise will be effected in the Woblgemuth affair, Italy and England have not yet spoken on the subject, but should they support the demand of the other powers, Switzerland will likely consent to a stricter surveillance over for- eigners to remove the reproaci of harboring revolutionists.
