All that we can tell you now is that we have not received official confirmation of the published report.” Sis Phillip Curries, secretary at the for- eign office, said: *We have received no confirmation yet, but it may come_at any time.” It did wot come before the offico closed fos the day. Nothing was known at the United States legation of the reported revolution except what appearad in the Herald. At the suate legation it was said that the first informa- tion would probably be received by the British foreign office through its Brazilian minister.

Redman, who is 1n constant communication with the consul geyeral, who resides 1n Washington most of the time, gives his personal opinion of the matter. Redman said that the so- called revolution can hardly be anything more than a riot between the military and marines,or ratuer a bloody encounter between the students of the military and naval schools, who have been very jealous of each ether, and seize every opportunity to fght among themselves, A Waslington special says: From gentle- man intimately acquaiuted with Bruzillan politics it 18 learned that the revolution in Brazil is purely military and only formid. able trom the lack of troops outside of Rio de Janeiro to bring sguinst the revolutionists, Parliament Is to meet next Wednesday and muny of the scnators and deputies are already in the city, 1f they agree to recog- nize the new government, Don Pedro’s abdi- cation may be looked for.

An American Girl to Wed a Wenlthy Gevman Count, (Copyright 1849 by James Gordon Bennett,) Benery, Nov. 10.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tie Bee |—The example set by Prince Hatzfeldt will find many imi- tators hiere. In no capital in Burope is the beauty and wit of American women s0 keenly appreciated as in Berlin, 11 to those attractions be added wealth, so much the better, but the fact thay in the next mar- riage, to take place between a Prussian noble and an American heiress money was but a secondary consideration, will be hailed with delight on the other side of the Atlantic. It is certainly a love match, for, well oft in the world's goods as the young lady is, her future husband is oven better provided for is this respect, The contrac parties are Count Kleist Vom Loss and Miss Eliza beth Thompson, daughter of Thompson, of the Standard Oil company, ubd ex-mayor of Detroit, Mich,, where nhe marriad Miss Brush, of an old, honorable and wealthy American fannly. The count, who is twenty-six years of age and one of the hand- somest young men in the city, which swarms with good looking young oflcers, is, a8 & matter of course, 1 the army, and might have been scon riding with the staft during the recent great roviews, given in honor of the laiser imperial guest, in the uniform of his regiment, the Twelfth Hussars, to which he is attached as a lieutenant of the reserve. He is the inheritor by right of threo large estates in three different states of tho em- pire in the kingdom of Saxony. He is lord of Herchstein, in the chateau of twne same name, built at the beginning of the thir- teenth century. The original castle, that is to say, for Herschstein, has been twice de- stroyed—once in 1 during the peasants’ war, and azain by Gustav Adolfs, the Swede. in 1630, It contains a famous collection of china and some rare antiquaries and has been visited by numerous parties of Amel can sight-scers from Dresden. His proper: in the Prussian province of Saxony consists of two chateaus, within easy distance of each—Verchon and Keppelaerf.. - [n Bran- denpurg the count possesses the country seat Manor of Mihlsdorf. The possecssion of these three great estates makes Count Kleist one of the richest proorietors in all Ger- many, with a rent roll that evea in England would be considerable. A cousm of the count’s great grandfather was a Kliest soldier—poet, whose hand held a sword or swept the lyre with equal skill, and who died with his face to the enemy in defeuse of his country and his king, Tho Kliests belong to the Uradel or ancient he- reditary nobility of Homerania, The Sixth regiment of Grenadiers in the garrison at Posen are called in honor of this illustrions house the Kliest Gronadiers, The young couple—the bride is only nineteen—met in Dresden, and in Berlin the exqu isite, fragile, blonde beauty of the bride attracted nniver- sal attention. 1t is said that Thompson, the young lady’s father, insisted as a condition to his allowing his dauglter to become en- gaged, that Coust Kliestshould entor tho government service, and it is rumored that he will soon hold a diplomatic post, as he has no lack of political influence, five members of his house belng members, either of the reichstag or of the Prussian house of lords.

Titled Snobs Packing Their Grips and Fleeing the Country in Haste—Jack the Rippor the Indirect Canses They Ave at Lt Agnin. Copyright 1889 by James Gordon Bennctt.] Loxpox, Nov. 10.—|New York Herald Cable—Special to us B —For some weeks past the social world of London has been agitated by rumors affecting some of its most prominent und distinguished mermn- boers, If those rumors had related to scan- dals of a nature which are common enough in a vast capital such as this, no one perhaps would have been greatly surprised, but un- fortunately they are much more serious than that. They deal with offenses against laws which used to be punished with death and which are still visited with long terms of penal servitude, Tmagine the consternation which has fallen upon many families of the highest position und upon socicty generally, when the startling facy has gradually become known that a number of persous i high positions have renaered themselves linble to prosecution for such offenses. 1 have avoided the subject as long as pos- sible, for it 1s not one that anybody would be willing to touch, but ominous rumors are already being circulated, and it is grow- ing quite clear that the attemyt be- ivg made under the wost influen authority to stifle the scandal and keep it secret can not possibly sncoced, In Lhese days nothing can be kept secret. Publicity is a condition of modern life, and it would nave been well for some of the “')gantlemen’ who are now flying from the country or trembling lest every ring at the beil should herald the appearance of a po- lice oficer if they had realized that fact in ‘time, Nearly two months ago a po lice inspector, who had been hunting for Jack the Ripper, and had got into some disfavor for not finding him, found himself upon tho track of certain circumstances which aroused his suspicions. He caused a watch to be set on the first objects of these suspicions, who, however, wore not the principals in the transactions that appearad to be gomg on. They were tracked one after avother to a house in the West End of London, aud the houso was watched aay after day. Those who went nto it and those who came out were subjected to close surveillance, Ther names wero discovored and preparations were made for a 8woop upon the premises, but the position of the offenders was pretty certain to save them from a vulgar denoue- ment of this sort. ‘When the net was drawn around tho place the most of the birds were flowa. Still the police officer who bad been following up the case had positive evidenco as to the identity of the persons he was anxious to secure. The date of tho visits and every circumstance connected with it were well ascertained, and proofs complete could be Iaid before any court of justice. I have reason to believe a full report was made without delay to Munroe, the chief commssioner of police, and action of some kind, 1t was thought, would be ' taken with- out delay, but it was not, so there seemed to be considerable hesitation in moving ia the matter. Butmeanwhile the persons implicated had information conveyea to them=not, of course, by Munroe—of the discovery which had been made. 11 justice was slow to move some of these persons were not. When a warrant was issued agaiust the keeper of the house it was feund that he had disappeared. No other warrants were applied for, buv mora than one of the culprits, knowing that the blow must fall at aoy moment, made arrange- ments to leave the country. Among them was a nobleman occupying a position of great honor, one which would perhaps be more connted than even his command ina crack regiment. The others are no longer to be seen wn the region of the clubs and some remain in the hope that 1t will all blow over, but the hope is vain, becauso the general public are getting to hear something about the story. Murmurs are arising as to neglect of duty by the police, and & stato of feeling is springing up which is scarcely less dangor- ous to the accused persous than o formal prosecution In o court of law would be. In spite, therefgre, of the almost super- human exertions which are being made to suppress whe scandal, it is more than prob- able that the guilty persons will have to face the consequences of their acts. I have no doubt that one or two of the em- inent individuals whose names are unhap- pily bewng whispered about in connection with the affair were taken to the bhouse, not kuowing what went on there. They were entrapped in order that they might subse- quently serve as a blind in case of an expos- ure, being threatoned that they aro impli- cated, and it is & most lamentable thing for them that it should be so. They have been guilty, it 1 am rightly ivformed, of nothing more than indiscretion, and of putting too much confidence in some of their compun- ions. As for the chlef leaders in the affair, thoy cannot hove to escape, because there Is a growing feeling everywhere that they must at all costs be brought to justice. You can easily understand why this should be. At the present moment the names of the persons most in danger are known to be very few, but rumor has many tongues, and now every day one is asked, ‘‘Have you heard that so-and-so is involved in that awful busine: Ana as you answer no, your questioner goes on to assure you that it is & facy and that a warrant is out aganst hm, 1f anybody has a spite to wreck upon some one else he craftily contrives to get his name informally added to the black list, ‘I'bis can not go on, even 1n soclety itself, There is & storm brewing, “Why should 80 many innocent persons rest noder this terrible cloudi Wby does not the chief commissioner or the home secrotary interfere!” BSuch are the queetions that are beng angrily asked in the very circles to which the offonders belong. When the reputations of some of thew, of the very highest, are thus suffering, it is nonsense to taik of hush- ing up the scandal, It was not to be hushed, The rich and powerful must not suppose that they can commit acts with impunity for which a poor man is sent to penal servitude for twenty years, The day for that kind of hocus pocus is dead und gone, and itcan't be revived. It is useless lo deny that & very low tone has become common in soci- ety, Down - the abyss of vice oue plunge bas been taken after another, A very small proportion of the wass bas goue & low deptb, but, baving gone there of MORNING, their own free will, they must. take the con- sequences. It may be that the ' impanding exposure will prove a warning td others not so guilly, but with many things to answer for which they will desire to coficeal from the world. The days of Charles ¥I some times scom to have come back again, but the Boglish peo- ple will not tolerate their revival when they thoroughly understand what is going on. If some of the foremost figures in tho world of fashion perceive this in time it will be well for them. If they do not they will have their eyes opened to ft by rougher methods, PASTIMES AT PAU.

HENDERSON A DARK HORSE, He Has Good Staying Qualities and May Win in a Long Contest— Land Office Domngs — Morton's Mansion. 518 FOURTEENTIN STREET, Wasmizarow, D. C., Nov, 10, The latest report in connection with the apeakership conteat is set atloat by the ad- herents of Congressman Reed, who asserts to-day that when the caucus of the repub- lican members mects the unit rule will be enforced fn the Pennsylvania delogation. If this scheme to make the twonty-ono votes from the Keystone state solid for the Maine candidate can be carried out it will result {n his eleotion in all probability. But there are already kickers. Dalzell, of the Pittsburg aistrict, is openly iv favor of tho canaidacy of MoKinloy, and he assorts that nothing will induce him to desert the Ohio man. ‘I'here are known to be several othors from the state who are opposed to Reed, and this makes it oxtremely untikely tnat all the members from the state can be forced into the unit rule, Reed’s great strength lies in the fact that e has beeu the republican candidate for the speakership in the last three congresses, when the nomination was only an honorary affair, Now that the nomination meaus election there are many of the older mem- bers who think that Reed 1s entitled to the votes of his colleagues, and who also cou- sider themsclves as in honor bound to cast their ballots for him. On the othep hand Mr. Resd’s record prom- ises to be a far more serious obstacle in the way of his proferment than was at fist sup- posed, ‘The report so industriously civeu- lated that he has always opposed river and Larbor improvement is having its effect among some of nis otherwise staunchest sup- porters, Then again the fact that he is in lino with the imonometalists on the silver question will greatly em- barrass him with tho silver men of the west. Reed is understood to favor the complete demonaeuization of silver and the repeal of the present compulsory coinuge law, There were several little kuots of members at the house this afternoon, and this feature of the situation was generally discussed. More than one republican mem- ber who said that Reed was his individual choice expressed tie belief that it would bo swmedal to vote for a man who 18 so opposed to the financial policy of the section repre- sented by the member speaking, and it was an easy thing to see that Reed's silver record will prove very dangerous us a weapon 1 the hands of his opponents, The stock of the two canaidates whose headquarters are formully opened—>Messrs, Henderson and Cannon—is decidedly up to- mght. Hendorson will not go into the cau- cus with as many votes as his Illinofs com- petitor, perhaps, but he will gain after every ballot, and many members who ars pledged t0 one or the other of tha leaders aro known to favor Colonel Henderson as a second choice, 80 that in spite of the apparent ob- stacles in his way at the outset it will not b at all surprising to find him well up towards the lead after the fourth ballot if the contest 18 not. sottled before the fourth ballot is taken, WasninatoN Buneav Tie Osany Ber, } THEY'LL PROBABLY COMB.

Heats, e THE AMERICAN JURY SYSTEM, Ex-President Hayes Scores v Before the National Prison Congress, Nasuvieee, Tenn., Nov. 16,—Ex-Presi- dent Hayes dulivered the anuual address be- fore the National Prison congress in this city to-day, A feature of the address was his reforence to the ineMicent jury systemn which prevails in mosv of the states. Ho said that the lack of popular confidence in the fairness and justice of crimiual trials begets crime. Delays in criminal pro- ceedings in these days when wealth has such power, offers a temptation to bribe giving und bribe talking. He referred to the Cronin case as a recent notorious example. Referring to the jury system, Mr. Hayes spoke particularly of the technicality that no man can sit on o Jury who reads the newspapers, Already this has been expunged in somo states and a rational rule has taken its place, It would be far more reasonable, he said, to exclude from the juries men who do notread the newspapers and who do not form or express opinions from what they read, Ignorance, not intelligence, should be shut out from the jury box, ‘‘Another ex- ample of the uurcasonableness of our jury system is the ‘unanimous jury.' If five- s1xths offa jury, or three-fourths, agree upon & verdict of guilty, and if tho presiding judge approves the verdict, why shall it not stana! Under our republican system the Rravestquestions are decided finully by a majority vote of the ciuizens, and these re- forms depend on the popular judgwent and the popular will.” Referring to the question of convict labor, Mr. Hayes made a stroug plea in favor of keepiog prisoncrs employed in learning use- ful trades, He said the notion that hovest labor outside of prisons will gain by support- ing in 1dleness convicted criminals is now rejected n quarters most influontial. He quoted an opinion from the oficlal journal of the Knights of Labor to support this state- ment. Mr. Hayes argued 1n favor of inde- terminate sentences for criminals eonfining such until in the judgment of some tribunal it is evident they are likely to be fit eitizens, If o person s determined upon a eriminal life the best thing that can be done for hm and soclety Is to conflue bum where be can do uo mischief and where his labor will pay for bis keeping.

BISMARCK'S PRINCE DOING. The German Chancellor the Moy Spirit in the Negotiations—Count Herbert's Tl-Itred Nreat- ment of Taafe. Bulgaria Turned Over to the Ozan LCopyriaht 1883 by New York Associated Press,) Briuy, Nov. 16,—The developments of Bismarck's diplomacy promises to result in permanent accord betweon Austrin aud The scheme restores Russia’s dominance 1n Bulgaris, Russin in roturn recognizing as definita Austria’s possession of losnia and Herzegovina, Signor Crispi has intimated to Bismarck that the sanction of ltaly might depend upon the cession of Trentonio by Austria, but Count Kalnoky holds the sacrifice of Tron- tonio impossible, The Innesvruck iuterview brought the negotiations to a climax. Ewmperor Francis Joseph consented to leave Princo Ferdinand to his fato and said he would not oppose Ru an candidate, provided he was elected under the conditions of the Herlin treaty. Ho partieally accorded the czar a free hand in Bulgaria, short of Russian occupation. He declined to consider the question of ‘Trentonio. If Kolnoky keeps faith with Bismuygi the attitude of the Vienna cabinet towara Bul- garia wust change, The divergence between the Vienna and Berlin policies has recently bocome marked. The Bulgarian agent at Vienna hus been semi-officially recognized. The landerbank has negotiated a new Bul- garian loan and the Austrian consui at Sofla is the confident and adviser of Prince Ferdi- nand. The German consul, on the other hand, did not even salute Werdinand on meoting him on the street and completely Ig- nores him as the head of the government. The porce is ready as soon as it learn s that Austrin and Russia have accopted Prioce Bismarci’s meditation to sead a ciwrcular letter 10 the signatory pawors do « nouncing the illegality of the present govern- ment of Bulgavia, Prince Bismarck's re-entrance reichstag, it is reported, will be postponed until he is able to raise the curtain and dis close the situation.

Aswgular expression of discontent appear in the Pesther Lloyd, the 1ecognized organ of both the Vienna forcign” ofiice and Hun- garian mimnistry. This journal cails the peuding arraugement an enforcad, ten compromiso which, it says, may prove worse than an enforced war, The article concludes with the hope that the German policy will not turp out & Machia: velian policy, and that the issue of the im- perial meetiog at Tunsbrack will simply vive renewea sangtion to the status quo. Hefore going to Innsbruck, Bmperor Irancis Jdoseph, after consulting with Count Kal- noky, took the advice of the veteran states- man, Count Andrassy. The emperor went to Andrassy's house and conferred with Lum for two hours. Count Herbert Bismarck’s refraining from visiting Count Taafe when passing through Vienna 18 severely commented upon in of- feiul eircles as an ill-bred act,showing nlack of the courtesy due the Austrian premer. Bismar.k resents Taafe's tacit cncourage- ment of the czar's movemeut, combined with his persistent locrtia regurding the oppos tion to the spread of German influence, Nothing jastifies Count Herbert's ostonta- tious ignoving of Count Taaffe while showing cordiality to Prewier fisza at Pesth aod feasting with other high persvnages at Vi- enna. This slight gave origin to o report that Count Taaffe had resigned, Iu an inter- view to-day Count Taaffe suid: “Young Bismarck’s conduct does not affect me, It is rather a triumph for ‘me, showing that my poilcy is purely national, soeking to strengthon Austrin without exe ternal wmd.” ‘Phe commission of the reichstag, appointed to consider the anti-socialist bill, has afirmed the general principle of that measure to the effect that special logislation is necessary to repress the socialists, ‘Chere will be a long fight before the commission reports, It is reported thet Herr von Boetticher, minister of the interior, on s rewurn from Friedrichsruhe, brought instructions 1w the authoritics to proceod with the preparation of the electoral list, which ought to be pub- lished four weeks prior to the vor ing.
