PLAYING A DEEP GAME, Russta Is Moving Toward Closer Friends with England Rapldly. Loxpoy, March 17.—[Now York Herald Cablo—Special to Tne Bre.j—1 learn toat the chango of attitude of the duke of Cum- berland is attributablo to two causes, very dissimilar in character, one of which, ho over, brings out a new phase of politics of the highest import to Kuropo. The minor causo connected with tho affair s a breach of trust of tho duke's intimate ad- viser, who to cover his losses of the stock exchavge, appropriated 500.000 florins from tie duke's privy purse. His adviser was a most uncompromising adversary of Prussia in his mnster's eutourage, aud his breach of trust shook also tho duke’s confidence in his political insight, The other and more important cause is the czar's influenco over the duke. He succeeded in wringing from nis brotheriu-law what neither Queen Victoris nor tho Danish royal consort nor the clinching arguments of the late Dr, Windthorst could accomplish. In this fact lies the Kuropoan significance of the compro- misa effected between the beir of Hanovor and the German emperor. it is strictly cer tuin that tho czar wishes to ba both person- ally agreeable to the gueen and to bring about a cordial understanding, 1f not the allisnco of bis country, with KEug- land. Having induced Cumoérland 1o como around into accordance with her majesty tong chorished dosires and atms, there is only oue now appareat design, his object to detach Gireat Britain from the triple alliance, of which in the present predicament of Russia, he takes a less indifferent view than beforo actual difficulties sprung up with his vealm. Tn this scuse will also have to be viewed tho advices from Athens, reaching certain chaucellories, aceordivg 10 which the king of Greece relinguistied Debyannis, not on aceount of financial difticulties, but as u complimeut to England, on consuls sent from St. Petersburg, not to forzet the part enacted by Eugland in tno liberation of Greece.

Corruption and rottonnoss beyond the ideas of the most oynical citizens will bo disclosod, and tho facts which make a posi- tion on Chicago’s council oue worth hun- dreds of dollars of preliminary expenditure in nominations will bo disclosed. ‘Tomorrow cvigence will be presentod to the graud jury showing boyond tho poradventure of @ doubt that certain aldorman havo paid lib- erallyand in hard cash for theie votes. The jury will listen to a talo of rottenness and corruption to which tho ‘booaling’ of the county commissioners and the Tweed ring was nothing." Have Mado a Strong Case. The ovidence has been for somo time in proparation and a mosh now encioses somo of the city tathers from which thero is little hopo of escape. This evidence includos con- fossions of soveral guilty parties; it includos not only the promises made to the corpora tions, but the lotters giviog the money to purchaso their,votes, and the vory greenbacks themsolves with which thoso votes were purchasod. Tho men who have becn active in working up these cases bave spared no expense and have made suro of each step. They have witnesses who havo sven large sums of money paid by tho representatives of the corporations to indi- vidual aldermen, and who have heard the alderman promise on recelving the money to cast his vote on a certain measure i @ cer- tain way. The money was paid in various ways. Some received it at their homes from messengers. Soveral wero paid in tho pre- nets of theocity hall and, 1t is said, that two sold their votes in the lobby of the council chamber. When the Northern Pacific ordinance was passed and when the active support of the Economic” Gas' proposition was made by prominent members of the council, suspicion was créated, and, when in one instance, at {east, this suspicion grewr to a positive cor- tainty of corruption, the investization wa: set on foot which, it is now said, will end only when several present members of Cni- cago’s city council are wearing the stripes of the Joliet penitentiary. Geueral Liob,the foroman of the xrand jury, and States Attorney Longnecker have ugreed that the evidence which the latter has for some time beca proparing shall be pre- seoted Lo the jury tomorrow. Among tho witnesses subpanaed aro two members of the council who were dragged into the bood ling operations and who- have expressed a willingness to tell all they know. Pussed by Virtuo of Hard Cash, States Attorney [ougnecker says ho ex- pects ta show that ull three of the ordinances ~the Compressea Air, tho Northern Pacific and the Economic Gas—were passed oy vir- tue of the purchase of the votes for hard cash. #1 don't mind saying, said he, ‘that there will be the biggest uphcaval aver seen in this city. When all the facts are finally made public tue result will bo the most sou- sational of any in-tho eity’s history.” He added that he would bo aided oy thrée of the city’s ‘most prominent attorneys, they being in the employ of three Lasalle newspapers who had been assisting to make out the caso against the Loodlers. - Later;in an interview, States Attorney Longnecker said that several aldérmen would assist n the inquiry in addition to those who confessea that their votes were purchased. Several will testify that they wero approached and refused to enter- tain the overtures made to them by corpora- tion representatives. - Still othors will tes- tify that aldermen openly boasted that they had received moey for their votes. Others again will give testimony corroborative of many facts to be disclosed by the prosecu- tion. One alderman openly stated that he was certain that almost every alderman favorably connected with tho three ordinances in ques. tion was guilty of receiving money for his vote. “Why,” said he, “it is generally ad- mitted that it requires money to get an ordinance through the council, and many of the aldermen make no secret of the fuct that they will not vote for any ordinance unless they are rowarded for so doing. Insome cases the reward is in the shupe of a trade that involves supporting some improvement in that aiderman’s ward and thus increasing his popularity among his coustituents. In others, and Ly far the greater number of cases, the consideration 1s tne coin of the realm.” Ofticial Statement the Prosecutors The foliowing statement is officially issued by the gentiemen who are behind the rose- cution: *“Phe investigation about to be begun by the grand jury contemplatos @ certain scrutiny of the metnods employed by tho council in regard to the passnge of the eco- nomic gas, tho Northern Pucific and tho compressed air_ordinances, ns well 0s a fow of minor importauce. Tho ovidence which will be presented to the grand jury is not limited to tho confessions or disciosures of one man, but covers & wide range, both of facts and individuals, The plan to catch the counsel and di cover what alderman was engaged in bribiug meusures through the council was devised and put iuto execution before the appearance of tho economic gas ordinance last vear. Tho vrouf we have acquired relates to various boodle ordinances and entangles four or fiv aldermen o what it will bo very easy to show was 4 consoiracy. The money used at least thrce cases of bribery will be put in cvidence. ‘The Northern Pucific ordinance was passed by almost precisely the same means and methoas employed 1n tho ‘eco- nomio. gas'. The compressed ‘air ordinance hus ot yielded s much money to tho boodlers as was expected by th Settle ments were bemng made vesterduy und tho day before. - Mouey was shown in the council by ut least two aldermen, who guve it to be understood that 1t was what they had r coived for voting for the Compressed Air ordinance, and it was not s much as prom- ised them.
