At 11 o'clock the ladies began to flock In wearing their warmest fur-lined jackets and cloaks, tho wind being very cold. There was a good deal of talk on the .ce concerning the new polo clubon on the other side of the pond in the grounds. The cercle established the ground, which is rather narrow, though there is plenty of length, Prince Murat has accepted the presidency and, with two such supports as the Vicomte de Janze and Henry Ridgeway, both so well known in the United States, the club is al- ready strong.

Many Americans will remember seeing him cantering about, in the early morn- ing, in the Bois de Boulogne, and will have observed his splondid seat on horseback in the strictest haute d’ecole style, In his day he was a fine steeplechase rider and the great- est turf authority in France. He had few relatives, but a host of friends, who adorned his bier with huge wreaths and crosses of violet and roses, headed by Lord and Lady Lytton andsuite. Prince de Sogan, Duc de Broghe, Duc de Noilles, in fact the entire mewmbership of the jocky club and the pick of the Euglish colony contributed flowers to his bier, A terrible blow is the death of the Due do Leuchtembergz. The French government, keenly anxious to ompliments to Russia, requested that the service which was to ha taken place vesterday in the Ruseian church in the Rue de Darn, should be postponed to today that military honors might be accorded him. Four regiments of artillery defiled be- fove the bier this morning at half past 6. The coffin was draped with the flags of France and Russia and placed on a gun carriage and taken from the grand duk'es residence, in the Rue Pierre Charron, to the church, accom- panfed by the military staff of the president and diplomatic corps, ‘Thie grand chancellor of the legion of honor and the presidents of the law courts. Over three hundred telegrams were re- ceived on the day of his death, including n message from the czarand czarina and royal houscs related to the grand duke, not only in the fashionable world, but also in scientific and political circles, but the grand duke had many friends The callers included the Princess Mathilde, M. teur, M. de Freycinet, M.

An extraordinary suicide caused a panic in the church of St. Michael at Havre, A man entered the building with his clothes soaked in petroleum and a rope around bis neck and kindling wood bound to his body. He poured a quantity of petroleum on the ground, be- neath his feet, set fire to it and in an instant s completely enveloped in flames, The t who rushed to his assistance was badly burned. The unfortunate man fell down dead, his body being burned beyond recogni- tion. There was the wildest excitement among the worshippers in the church.

Discussions of the measure in plenary sitting has been postponed until it shall have had a second reading, Chancellor von Caprivi has personal attemipted to lessen the tension between the commission and Herr Herrfurth, minister of the interior. In the course of a conversation on Thursday with several members of the right the chancellor appealed to thelr sentiment of fidelity to the throne and promised concessions in favor of the amgricaltural iuterests of the country in other peuding government messages, in return for their acquiescenco in local reforms. He warned them that per- sistent opposition would create serious difi- culties for the monarchy. After the inter. view several papers predicted thata com- promise would bo effected which would avert a dissolution of the landtag. Nothing semi- official or definite, however, known regarding the matt Miguel, the minister of finance, was privately ask:d his opinlon of the chances of anugreement being arrived at, but he declined tosay more than that the dissolution was improbable, A number of membersof the old cartel party recently held a meotiug to avrange for the formation of a Bismarck group in the reichstag and landtag. The sent a communication to F ruhe asking the formal sunct of Prince Bismarck for the movement. To this the prince sent a verbal reply through a con- servative member of the reichstag to the effect that he would not prevent members from following his known policy or from claim- ing the authority of his name so long as they upheld his opinions. This qualified sanction of the carteler's movement is interpreted meaning that the prince will not at present seek publily to lead the party, although he is williug to_direct their parliamentary operations. The Volk Zeitung, Freisinnnige Zeitung and liberal organs gen- erally see in the conservatives® acceptance of Bismarck's leadership the certainty of an ¢ dissolution of parliament. Under the influenceof unfavorable opinfons from Prof. Virchew and other inent physicians arding the Koch remedy the government has como 0 a pause over the proposed bill making the lymph the propety of ther state, Minister von Gossler has postponed the introduction of the bill, and this leads to rumors that the ministers desiro to recon- sider the arrangemont made with Koch, The Klein Journal affirms thatit isdoubtful if the ministry will now adhere to the agree- ment. The Koch eir on the other hand, states that the relations between Koch and Minister von Gossler are unchanged and that the introduction of the bill s delayed be cause the apparatus for state production of the lymph is still incomplete. Prot Koch found necessary this week some hun- dred additional breeding chambers for the facteria, the preparing of which, including the growth of the facilla, takes much time, prolonged watching and constant, testing be- fore Prof. Koch or s - assistants will pronounce the lymph relia- ble. The reports received from the German hospitals are .favorable to the remedy. Dr. Konigehafor of Stuttgart has applied the lymph with success in the treatment of diseases of the eye lids and cornea. Prof. Ziemssen of Munich declares that by the use of the lymph he has effected the complete cure of three patients in the carly stages of phthisis, and thirty patients suffering from phthisis in the hospitals who are undergoing the: Koch treatment are reported to be progressing favo ably. On the’ other hand Dr. Schroette: of Vienna declared that there was no im- provement in the cases of tuberculosis of the larynx which were being treated there by the Koch method &nd that the results of such treatmeat in cases of phthisis were very donbtful. Prof. Crocg of Belgium denies that there is any curative action in the Koch ®remedy. He asserts that he has seen an intense reaction after injections of tho lymph in the case of patients suffering from phthisis and a similar reaction in the case of others suffering from pleurisy who were without trace of tuberculoses affection. But uotwithstanding these hostilo criticisms the confidence of the medical profession in the efcacy of the Koch treatment 1s unabated. The Koch institute, which the government is now erecting, will consist of an immense library with a clinic having 150 beds, WCourt talks turn upon the emperor's re- marks to high dignataries of the court con- cerning Bismark: The emperor said: “Itis desirable that he be made to understand that his time for politics has passed. He ought not to attempt to play any role, especially that of opposition.
