[PROM YESTERDAY'S SECOND RDITION, | ORIGIN OF THE GUELPH FUND Some Conrt Seorets Reviewed in Which | Bismarck Was Interested. CONFISCATED ESTATES ILLEGALLY USED Lively Political Gossip Agitating the Con- tinent—Restitution of the Duke of Cumberland's Possessions Cre- Ated Surprise, [Copyrighted 1592 by James Gordon Bennett.) Paris, March 13.—|New York Herald Cable- Speoial to Tur B he renuncia- tion of the duke of Cumberiand coutinues to cause great talk in the political world. Itis believed that tho restitution of the Guelph fund is due to a bargain with the Catholio deputies of the center, of whom the government has need. The following is the origin of what is cailed the Guelph fund: After the annexation of Hanover by Prussia by the convention of September 20, 1867, be- tween King Goorge of Hanover, father of the duke of Cumberland, and the Prussian governmeut, King George was to reccive $00,000,000. The convention was ratified February 1, 1808, by the Prussian Landtay, Bismarck baving intervened in the discussion to carry the vote, but before the end of the same month the Prussian governient changed its front and intorvollated. On the creation of the Hanoverian legion in Franoce the declara. tion of the minister offita nce caused King Georgo to announce that he dia not accept tho sottlement. The government fought with the income of his own property. A bargain was proposed to the king instead of the restitution of his fortune. The renunciation of his rights of suecassion was demanded in exchango for the monoy that belonged to bim., He refused, and on March 2 King William of Prussia signed the decree of con- fiscation of the fortune of the king of Hanover. And It Was Illogal, But a decree, contrary toa vote of the Landtag, ought to have been afterward ra fied by & voto of the assembly a formality that was never ooserved. The Guelph found was, therefore, held by the Prussian government not only unjustly but illegally since 1868. The use to which this fund has been put is well known. The revenue therofrom has been directed, not solely against the Hanoverlan dynasty, but since 1871 the chaucellor's office has had 5,000,000 annual revenue that the confiscation putat its disposal, the Prussian cabinet hus gone crazv about private secrets, ‘Ihe chancellor leaned wholly on the pub- lic opinion of Kurope, Recently roevesled scandals show thata very great persouage did not disdain to feed at the same crib as the *reptile’ journailsts. Kucope learned who wus gotting the money. This state of things ended, tho government had to loo elsewhere 1f it wished to continue to buy newspapers, ‘The grand duke of Hesse died this evening, aged 54 years, He fought against Pru in 1866 and the independence of the grand duchy was saved only by the intervention of Russia, by which an annexation similar to that of Hanover and Nassau was provented. The grand duke married, in 1862, a daughter of Queen Victoria, who died in 1878, His beir, Prince Ernest, is 23 years old. He passes for a supporter of the clerical party, and is of course an officer i the Prussian army.

We have not forgotten, moreover, that you secured from Francg the first oficial” acceptsnce by a natiou’of our government’s invitation to the World’s Columbian exposition. The inti- mate personal relations which you cultivated and have maintained with different members of the government and the esteem and re- spect in which you aro held in France, have lurgely contributed to the substantial com- pletion, as annouaced by the French press and officials, of & new ex- tradition treaty moro than doubling of the number of extraditable orimes, and our commercial convention proviaing for recip- rocity for certain articles in return for the free admission of hides, sugar and cofteo. Your fruitful labors for copyright and for the reappeal of duty on works of art have likewise earned you the applause of our countrymen, and 8s the crowning act of your career the long negotiations for the re- moval of the probibition of American pork-- 8 question of the first imbortance to the United States—after unceasing efforts, ex- tending over eleven years, have triumphantly closed through the vigor, the tact and wisdom of your exertions. The thoughtful courtesies you have extended, not only to those residents in the capital, but to the American passing through Paris as well as to members of the government and people of Frauce, in which you bave been so effectively aided by your accomplished wife, have strengthened and confirmed the roputation of our country for hospitality. , In fact, 1t can truthfully be smd thatno American minister has wore faithfully and admirably administered bis trust than yourself. In view, therefore, of the universal appreciation of your character and services wo have ventured to tender you this foreweil banquet and beg to express the bope that' in returning to your native 1and, with the added experieuce of well spent years abroad, you will find & new fleld of uselulness, tho iucreasing regard of your countrymen and the enjoyment of evuiy hap- piness.” James Gordon Bennett has telegrapbed from New York to have bis uame put to the address neral Meredith, ex-minister to Greece, has charge of the program.

FRANCE PTHREATENS GERMANY) Every Opparkanity Will BBe Taken Advan tage of ta Recover Alsaco-Lor: 3 1 Copyrighted, {572 by Jamss Gordm Bonnott Panis, Macch 14, -[Now York Herald Cable —Special to Tne Bee|—~The Furopean edition of the Herald recertly published the replies recoived by the Figaro from a num- ber of netabls Germans to whom that journal bad put the question whether Germany would consent either 10 coda Alsace-Lorraine to Erance or to neutralizo those prov- this (Monday) morning. The Figaro publishes a French view of the subject from the pen of M. Ernest Lovisse, prefessor of the Univorsity of Paris, Ho goes to the length of four and onc-half columns in the course of which ho savs: “Your German correspondents say that Ger many would foel insecure if Alsaco was in tho hands of Franco. Let them nieasure tho distance from our old frontiers to Berlin and from our prosent borders to Paris. They have opened a bridge tito the heart of France. We feel the breath of the enemy upon our necks.’ Golng on to prove that the provocation for war is not likely to come from France, M. Lovisse shows how strong the party of order and sound sense has become in I'rance. *'The nation,” he says, ‘is in arms but is not formed into a cast whoso members burn to bo soldiers, nor are its armics commanded by & horeditary commander-in-chief who claims heritance by divide right. With us no one has a right to say to a recruit, ‘you belong to mo, body and soul, and if 1 order you to fire on your father you must obay.’ Only the nation can move the French army, which is composed of the nation itself. Noonein France can claim that his will is the supremo law. There is no one who some fine morning without - consulting any one can give tho signal for war. The wholo life of K'rance is open to the day. Sho has no secrot_treaties to conceal. There is no country in the world where an offensive war would be more difficult, not to say impossi- ble for the government to undertake, than in France.” Then taking up the historical and ethnolog- ical sides of tho question, M. Lovisse con- cludes that no matter how long a period of years may elapse, F'ranco will never abandon her dotermination to be propared to take po session of Alsace-Lorraine whenever an op- portunity for doing so presents itself. France will pot'go to war to recover the loat pro- vinces, but when war comes she will take ad- vantage of il to attain that end, FUNERALS OF THE VICTIMS, Heartrending Sce ut the Burial of the Killed in Belglum Mine Accldent, .8, March 13.—Accordiug to a report of the Anderlues mine disastor sixty- toree persons ‘were reecued unhurt, twenty injured and 158 were killed.

Benriiy, March 18,—The North German Gazette confirms tho reports that high per- sonages advised Emperor William in favor of restoring the Guelph fund, and speaks of the satisfaction it will afford the widowed queen, Marie, that she has lived to sco a reconciliation, It is not known whether or not the capital, about 4,000,000 marks, will be refunded. 1t will probably be an entailed fortune, and only the interest will bo paid over. The Hanover estates will ~ remain under Prussian aaminis tration until the claims to the throne of Hanover are explicitly renounced. Tho duke of Cumberland’s letter, in which he speaks of humself as *'First,” spolling the word with a capital letter, indicating royalty, and sign- g himself *‘Cousin and brother.” The epistolary form used between sovereigns leaves the renunciation somewhat ambiguous, A parliament is almost certan to sanction the agreement uuanimously although some papers remark that considering the state of the natiousl finances 1t was not necessary for Prussia to make the duke of Cumberland such a large present, SPANISH FLOODS, Rallrond Traflic fnterrupted and Much Suf- L feEing Caused, Maprip, March 18, —The damage caused by floods in the south is more extensive than was at first sWpnosed.

Nothing will 30 fire the British heart with enthusiasm as anything calculated to moin tain tho fiction that Brittania rules the wave, and under such circumstances it is not im- probablo that a vigorons foreign policy will prevail during the coming sumwer, in which the peace of the world may be threatencd.

At any rato, no party was ever in greater straits tiun is the tory party now. 5 *“I'ho threat of retaliation in the shape of abolition of the bonding privilege, which al- lows goods destined for Cannda to pass through the United States without duties 1 vico versa, would bo u 1wo-cdged weapon, tar moro hurtful to Chicago, Detroit, tho twin citios, Boston and New tingland than to Canada,’ 1f this is the only retaliatory measare Canada hins to fear, aftor suffering tho terribls exclusion impesed by the Me- Kinley bill it will have no effect on the popu- 1ar sentiment in Canada except to solidify the adhesion to British connection aud to strengthen the determination to keep indo- pendent of tho United States.” TALKS WaAR, e Rt DR.
