Loxnox, June [Editorial Corres; ence of Tig | Ten days in the we metropolis mingling with the flovdtide of more than five milhons of people, whose habi- tations are within a radius of twelve miles from St. Paul's cathedral, What an ever changing panorama this colossus of citics p its, with its ceascless stream of humanity pouring through the throbbing arterics of commerce and industry ! Nover beforo did I realizo the vastness of this modern Babylon and the magnitude of the wealth that pours into her lap frowm every land under the sun. The teas and silks of China, the spices of Arabia and Indin, the ivory and gold dust of Africa, the wool and gold of Australia, the hides and dye-woods of South America, 'tho cotton of Egypt and Amezica, the coffees of Java and Brazil, all find their way here, and havo their prices fixed in the London market. Last, but by no means least, this i3 the cloaring house of the world, Within a stone's throw of the grand and gloomy old Bank of Kngland you may read the signs of banking houses for India and New Zealaod, British Columbia and Central Africa, China and Argentine, The vafilts of these institutions coutain the capital that vitalizes and controls almost every great eaterpriso and important invest- ment 0a land and sea all over the globe. Ten days in London and not a bit of fog, not even a cloudy sky. The bright suuny days vividly recall the most delightful spring season in Nebraska, [ confess I have bee agreeably disappointed in the weather as [ have been in regard to many other thing: notably in the clean streets, great public squares, spacious drives and magnifizont and well kept parks, The broad boulevirds public gardens and parks, covering thousands, of acres, are not located in distant suburbs, but In the Very Heart of London. They are accessible alike to rich and poor. The Victoria Embaokment, St. James’ park, Keusington gardens, Hyde park, Regent's park and Victoria park are thronged by hun- dreds of thousands of ‘people of all classes from dawn until late every cloar summer evonng and more especiully Sunday after- noon. "Tho monumental structures, pablic build- ings, museums and art gallerics of Loudon have been described so often thas [ scarcely could be justified in thrashing over old ptraws. Tho tower with its massive masonry, quaint collection of armor and arm3 of the feudal ages, he orown jawels of British monarchs, gl tering with precious stones, the chombers of horrors with inscriptions carved upon their blackened walls by prisonors of state, awaken a doop intorost and recall some of the black- est pages in England's blood-stained histor, * Westminster Abbey. Wo visitod Westminster Abboy where aro situated Eugland's royal burial vaults and numerous monuments to men who have achieyed renown in every walk of lite. No nation on earth ever paid more genorous tribute to patriotism and genius. Sido by side with kings, queons and knightod war- riors are buried and immortalized in alabas- ter, granite, marble and bronze, England's great poets, actors, sculptors, painters, en- gineerig architects, doctors, preachers aud political leaders. I shall only venture to point out such as most forcibly 1imprassed me wuilo fn the abvoy. The colossal bronze statue standing upon a hugo granite padestal recontly erocted on the Thames embankment is inscribed to Lord Beaconsfield, but the life sizo marble statuo near the spot whero rests the mortal rynains of the great tory leader bears th> sizuificant simple inscrip- tion “Benjamin ' [sracli.” In tho same aislo of Wostminster are the monuments of Wil liam 1itt, Lord Chatham, Palmerston, Sir Rovert Pecl and tho three Channings. In the adjoining aisle are the tablets and statues of Balfe, the compaser, Wilborforco, the abolition leader, Sic Issac Nowton and Charles Darwin, Near tho poot's corner aro the tablots of David Garrici by the side of Addi son, Thackeray and Lord Macaulay. On the opposite side lie Coleridge, Robert Burns and Southey. ‘Tho bust of Amorica's greatest _poot, Henry W, Longfellow, is placed by the ide of Dryden and archbishop Tait. In the baptistry at the wost end of the abbey are buriod John Wasley, tho foundor of Method- ism, and Dr. Isnac Watts, tho famous hymn writer, and iu the samo aisle is a monument 0 Mujor Johu Andre, oxecutod as a British spy near West Point during thy rovolution- wry war. Among the royal vaults the most intoresting ave the tombs of Mary Stuart and Queen Elizaboth, Above Mary Stuurt's tomb 15 tablet beariug a fac similo of the order of James I directing the burial of tho quoen by tho side of hor sisters, but tho fact that the gorgeous tomb of Elizabetn is in an adjoinng chapol would indicato a disposition to separate the royal queens even aftor death. An avcient and very curious relio iu the abbey is tho covonation chair made for Quoen Mary, which is loaded down witn a plece of stono flageing under the soat, said to bo the stone of Scone, the emblem of power of Scottish princes. St Paul's Cathedral. St Paul's cathedral, the third largest church edifice i the world, and the most im- posiug classio structure of the world's me- tropolis, is & supplomontary national tom- ple of fame to Westminster abboy. Its mouuments aud tablets are chiefly memorials of Kugland's military and paval heroes. The mausoleum orected over the remains of Wellington and the statues of Nelson and Napler aro tho most maguifi- cont. Among the latest mouuments 1 noticed the sarcophiagus, tomb and brouze eftigy of Genoral Gordon, who lost his life at Khar- toum. The graudeur of St. Paul's does uot Ampress itself upon you at first sight, but When you have traversed the lnterior you be TWENTY-FIRST YEAR.

It would make Sir Christopher Wren turn in nis grave if he could see the bare stone walls and ceilings of this structure and the streaked exterior It is singular that the pariiament houses, stminster Abbey, the National eall Paul's and in factall tho public buildings in London are marred and soiled by the thou- sands of pizeons that are allowed to roostand breed ou their cornices, porticoss and towers, The British Muse ‘The British museum, with its vast and un- rivalled collnction of Egyptian, Assyrian, Bab- yloninn, Persian, G and Roman sculp- ture, paintings, avms, implements and orna- cots, with its treasures of medals, ripts and autogeaphs, is alone worth atripacross the Atlantie.

But all these things have been written up so often as to bo commonplace. My Impressions of London as acity can be summed up in few words. “The prineipal thorough fares will not compare in point of architecture with Broadway, Now York, or even State strect in Chicago. Ex- cepting three or four of the largest hotels no buildings rise above the fifth story, Thero is great varioty in the style of stores and dwell- ings that divest the view of the monotony which characterizes many streets ks our largest cities, but there are no palatial stores and fow shop windows exhibit an artistic and tasteful display of wares. On the other hand, the great public squares, with their lofty monumental shafts and statues and their great fountains, are without countor- part even in monumental Washineton. ‘The’ facilities for travel in tne commereial center of London are inferior to thoso of leading American cities, Two-story omni- hansom cabs and the underground with its smoky and dingy subways, are the mediums of transportation. There is, however, no wire nuisances. Telegraph, telephone and electric light wires are planted underground, and [ noticed that many of theso wiro ducts are laid only two feet deep undor the sidewalk and so arranged thattestsand repairs can bo made readily without blockading street travel, “This 15 only o surface view. There is much about the streets of London that strikes one ns quaint and queer, especially in the remote portions of the old city, with its narrow laues and alleys, swarming with a poverty- stricken population. My observation among the wage workers and glimpses of their mode of living aro necessarily deferred for o later lotter in which I provose to group the working pso ple of British factory towns, ncluding Swansea, Birmingham and Manchester. 1 am also constrained to omit comment on the vostal and telegraph * systems into which I bave made exhaustive inquiry.

New Yous, July 11.—Pho National Feder- ation of America, organized to aid the home rulo movement in Ireland, issued today an address to ““The friends of howo rule for Ircland. The address says: “Mr. Parnell can no longer be regarded as a possible leader of the Irish movement. The people of Ireland must lay aside forever hero wor- shipand one-man leadership.” The address, continuing, denounces Par- nell, speaks of his “social lapses,” political blunders, his hostility w that powerful party in Bugland which under the express prou- ises of Mr. Gladstone is solemnly oxpected to give home rule to Ireland, his lutolerant bearing towards the majority of the Irish parliamen party, nis wsults to the ven- erable ecclosiastics’ and his cold-nearted treatment of the evicted tenantry in locking up §200,000 idly in the bank vaults of Puris. In conclusion the adaress says: “We arc on the eve of a_general election. It is con- coded on all sides that the question of home rule will bo settied favorably orndversely by this election for another generation, at least. We therefore invite all who sympathize with the cause to lend their assistance, to enroll freely iu the Irish national federation, We ask that the pesplo be faithfully sustained by every unwavering friend of ircland, that all may have an opportunity of performing the lnst geverous duty to Treland.” The address is signed by Thomas dddis Emmett, M.

This week fashionable people simply fled the city. The famous walks are daily crowded. Already Dicope Spa Aix les Baiues is filled with well known Parisians, Stanley and His Plans. Stanley, with his sister-n-law, flitted through here Friday, stopping a few hours at the Hotel Meurice, and then passed on to Switzerland, where he joins his wife, after which he will provably go to Brussels, seck- ing tho Belgians who, it is understood, are very anxious to engage him as a chief com- missioner, the Congo The uext morning the Manhattan boys started on their journey to London, leaving many friends hehind them. The ceneral ver- dict being not only that they were first rate athletes, but likewise gentlemen in every sense of the word. Some busy body startea the idea that they were not on good terms, and that thero were internal dissensions, but such is not the case at all. Thero rever was any body of men better in accord. They took away two packiog cases full of prizes from here last weck. Appr = Royal Marriage. “The cabled details of the coming union of the prince of Roumania and Melle Vacaresio were the uext day denied by all the papers. The reports of the marriage have since beon confirmed by Prince Ferdinand openly ae- claring that he will give up all pretention to the throne rather than break his engagoment to his lady love. Interested Europeans. The new world clectric executions cabled to the Horald were read with much interest here. Inthe meuntime wo goon with the guillotine, Yesterday, Maumer, a murderor many times over, was exccuted by tho famous Dicbler, whose son assists him in his tragic metir striko. Tho epidemic is still ripe. In the early partof last week the mutes, known hero as “croquemorts,” went on a strixo. Tho un- dertakers promptly gave way and rased their s of the mounful ones to 5 francs daily. Now the employes of tho Orloas railway are efervescent, barbers are going around town breaking windows of hair dressers who refuse to close early, and waiters are wazing war upon those rostau- rants who still insist on employes having clean shuven faces, An Occasional Duel. We had a duel last week between two in- dividuals, Danteisme, who was secratary of the general Moscow exhibition, and Gougon, deputy of the Seine, Gougon had boaten Danteisme and the latter reversed tho ordor of affairs i the duel, for he wounded his ad- versary in the arm. For this week we ave promised a duel between Camille Dreyfus, deputy of the Seinc, and the editor of tho nowspaper Egalite, Bernhardt in Australis, Sarah Bernhardt writes home that Aus- tralia received her with opon arms. Maurica Bernbardt aud his wife are going to join her in the antipod: Extensive preparations are bemg made for the national fote Tuesday next, when Paris will literally be given over to the peoplo.

Another Koch Case. Tuberculosis cure onco again is to the front, not only in frigid academies and scien- tific circles but in the clubs and cafes, The newspapor question agitated is, has Dr. Lannelongue discovered n remedy for this terrible diseaso! 1t was on Tuesday last that M. Lannelongue read his paper in which he disclosed results in troating infan- tile cases of tuberculosis with injections of chlorure of zinc. The very next day ho v bosieed with hundreds of letters from tuberculous pationts in Paris amd now thousands from Germauy, Ituly, Eugland, Rassia, Spain and Switzerland are following 1 upon him. Tho excitement is almost as great as that \which followed Dr. Koct's announcement. The tubercaline public is not always in a foverish haste to apply prematurely any medical discovery but they ara in a presence or sort of univer- sal panacea, and much interest is taken 1n o letter from an eminent American physician, who, to the editor of the Horald, expresses a great deal of sound common sonse in refer- enco to tho discovery. Tholetter is as fol- lows: To the Bditors of the Herald: There was was quite an exciting time in the academy of medicine when M. Lunnelonzue read from o skillfully prepared paper on the treatment of surgieal tuberculosis in cuses of children by means of injections of eltorure of zine. All the newspapers, political and others, wers filled with accounts of the discovery nextday. The emotion caused by chlorureof zine theory was unlike that which was produced through- out Europe and America when Koch pro- claimed bis tubereuline idea. Today it s al- most forgotten. ‘Che emp'oyment of chlorure of zine is nevertheless hot absolutely new and one of the most eminent mem- bers of a scientific, gathering, one of the nestors of Fredgh surzory, Prof. Leon Lefort replied to #.

Tdon't think so bucause, as yet, we have todo only with experiments which are very interesting it is tru, but, as Prof. Leon Lefort, to whom Is due a share of the honor of the discovery, remarked, it is not yot decisive, hence we should wait until the facts are more demonstrative. It 1s essential and of 1mportance to the non= nedical press that 1t should moderate public opinion, always prone to bocome Intensely enthus’astic over medical dlscoveries, and 1n- form tubereulons patients who had already hiud several lessons by the absolute futility of the Berltn experiments that tho encour- aging visions now piaced before their eyes, miy yet turn gut to be only a mirage, nd to cure tulerculosis by ottier means than hy ene and gpen uir is still to be discovered, Science shoald be grateful to Lannelongue for the new road he has opuned and newspapers should elicourage him to con- tinue his researches, but tuberculosis patients should wait until tho mevhod Is more conclu- sively established, if they wish to avold newed bitte 55 which followal the ship- wreck of tubereuline.

He has also con- versed much with Lord Salisbury, and bis visit to Hatfield on Sunday will strengthen the good understanding already existing be- tween them. It would bo a great mistake to look upon this visit as one of politics only. It possesses high political importance, aud may materially shape the course of Kuropean politics for some years to come. It is true England has no army worth considering, but she hus plenty of money. 'I'ie cmperor prob- ably did not forget that when he went iuto the city Friday. The sinows of war aro to bo found therb in profusion, and men and arms are easily picked up anywhere, Somo papers are trying to make out that tho visit bas been a fauure, but they nothing about it. It isa far greater success than any one ventured toanticipate. The queen, tho prince of Wales and the governing men of tho country have beon delighted with tho emperor and established with him relations uot henceforth to be shaken by intevmeddlers n France or elsewhere. I give you the opin- fon of the best informed persons in power and responsibility when I tell you that the alli- ance between England and Germany though informal is infinitely stronger than over it has boen oofore and that it is a potent influ- ence which other great Iuropean powers cannot hencoforth afford to loave out of sight. " He Pleased the 1 ub With the general public the emperor has burst into sudden popularity, not because he has shown sn much energy and spirit during his visit, but becauso hois the queen’s grand- son and tells be s proud of it, boeause ho Is young, because ho upset Prince Bismarck, becausehie is a genuino man, strong, fearless, masterful. The only disappoiutment 1 have heard expressed is that he is not so tall as some peoplo expected. In private dress, which be has only worn on one occasion, he looks even shorter. That may bo tho reason for his preferring to appear in uniform. Cven in his carly morming ride in Rotten Kow he wore thé undress uniform of one of his regiments. At auick changes ho almost equals professionals on tho stage. Y esteraay mornlng ho was in thy park asan officor, Theu he went to the naval exhibition dressed as a Pritish admival. Then he weat to Guild hall 1o the mch uniform of the garde du corps, and in the evening he ained with the Duko of Cambridge in still more brilliant apparel. After all that plain black frock coat and continuations, and a white hat are rather commonplace. He does not show to s0 much advantage in & carciage as on horso back. Yesterday people could scarely see him. The Empress looks grander and taller and her largo parasol partly helped to blot out the emperor. At Guild hall, how- cver, ho producca a great improssion by his straight anc soldierly bearmg as well as by the fim and manly tone in which he made his speech. Thero is nothing more German in his accent whon speaking English than there Is in the pronunciation of the Prince of Wales or the Duke of Cambridge. He is Very Gracious, Whatover ho may bo clsowhere with us ho has been all graciousness and smiles. He seems really pleased with the hearty hurrabs of the people in the streets and with cordial salutations which greot him wherover he goes. 1am told that he exclaimed on Friday aftor his return from the city: “Whata fine people thisis. No wonder it bas made s0 great a reputation in the world.” He remombors also everybody whom he saw here as a boy. At the queen’s state ball last night Le repeatodly stopped aside to shake hands with somo old friend, 1 feel almost as 1f Twere at home," ho smd to ono, Kverybody Is delighted with his courtesy aud winning mauners. I am assured that on Thursday, after leaving the rden party at Marlborough house, he was received with even moro enthusiasm than was accorded to the queen, but this may have been owing to the dosire to givo the stranger & hearty welcome. Whether the omperor sleaps or not is a question. Certain itis that his suite and sorvants do not get much rest. The other moraing his horso was not ready at 06:30, and thero was troublo in the family. He could nct have gone to bed before 3 or 8 o'clock +his morning and he was up before 7, and has been pushing on with his engagements liko a steam engino all day. Ho will take away with him on Moaday the hearty admiration of the English people. He does enough work for any three men, and comes up smiling all the time, If he romained another month the British publio would want to keep him hore altogother. MEMER OF PARLIAMENT.

[Copyrioht 1891 by the New York Assosiated Press.] Benuiy, July 11.—The papers of this city overflow with accounts of the popular tri- umph of Emperor William in London. The semi-offcial papers, in commenting on the reception of the German emperor 1n Kngland, adopt a guarded tone and avoid ail reference W an allianco with Englana as an accomplished fact. These papers simply ro-echo the emperor's speech at Guild hall, he indepondent papers criticise the empors or's reception as emphasising tho friendly sentiments of England towards Germany aud towards tho emperor as a_ relative of the royal family without bemng a wopular en- dorsement of tho policy of Lord Salisvury, The radical papors regard tho celobrations ag an open declaration of Bugland’s nduesion to tho dreibund. Wild Scheme Charged to Ribot. Articlos in tho Russian and French press illustrating the intensity of the feeling in Russin and F'ranco towards Eugland are largely quoted. A startling report which has caused considerablo talk in diplomutio cireles, has recently beon cireulated hero, 18 is to tho effect that M. Rivot, the 1'rench minister of foreign affairs, had appronched the Russian government on tho subject of a coalition against Eugland, offering to co-operatowith Russia in_ the soizuro of Constantinonlo and the formation of a new “Purkish state in Asia, embracing Ewypt un- der Franco-Russian_brotection. A part from tho question of the probubility of its truth the report has value as indicating tho tend- ency of Lord Salisbury’s dreibund policy.

The Snglish delegates spoke in hopeful ane ticipation of the pleasant time they expecied to haye nmone their Amorican cousins. A Russian deiogate said that his long friend- iin for the United States gave him the right to call tho Americans brothers.
