Beruiy, July 2.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee. | —Emperor Wil liam and his henchman Count Uaprivi have reason to be grateful to Prince Bismarck. Had thoy been bigger men they would have thanked him for his late 1mprudence, not damped him, for never did an adversary help’ them more than the ex-chancellor when 1 8 momeut of incaution or anger he coufided opinions to newspapers. With hardly one aissentient voice, Prince Bismarck's countrymen huave blamed his frankness. I'rionds of the grout statesman have, for once, been almost as severe as his enemies. It muy be added that on all hands, right or wrong, the utterances of the prince in the now famous interviews with the Noue Ireie Presse and Westdutsche Allogemeine Zeitang have harmed him much more than his foes. A week ago the (erman cmporor was un- popular, Count Caprivi seemed tottering, and Princo Bismarck was the hero. Now if the emperor is not more beloved, he ut least is less disliked. Count Caprivi has been strengthoned, and his great predecessor hias been scriously weakened. Keplied in Kind, How have the powers that be acknowl- edged the latest of services Prince Bismarck has rendered them! Not by silence, which would have been adroit. Not by affectations of disdain, which might have veen intelligi- ble, but by tha bitter. fierce railing and ac cusations of the statesman who built up the “lerman empire. Leaders in the Nordeutsches Allogemeine Zeitung, which mado such a commotion this week, wero inspired by the emporor himself. Their publication was the outcomo of long confercuces between the young morarch and his chancelior. Thoy woroe the reflections of tne wrath with which the soverign, no less than the Count Caprivi, hada watched the Dresden ovations, and at one moment they seemea likely to be followed by 8o even moro unseemly demonstration, ‘which would have shaken the alleglance of the Germuns to their ruler, and have sapped the empire’s foundutions. I am assured that 10 the first blush of the #xcitement caused by the appearauce of the Vienna interview, the emperor talked of hay- ing Princo Bismarck arrested. “*Machen wir es we ber Geiffeken” (“Let us treat him like Geiffcken”), said his maj ©ity. Fortunately for the monarch the youthful *war tord” sobered down and tho prince was denounced in the somi-official organ. He was proclaimed a traitor. Ho was throutened with impeachment, but he ‘was not arrested. Count Cuprivi's colleagues, who know what nasty shafts the ex-chuncellor has 1o his quiuer, have showed no eagerness to enter on the fight with Bismarck. They would prefer to let things stand as they are, and avert a fresh scaudal, Bismarck Is Dangerons Itis not sure, thougt, that their wishes will bo granted. In his present mood Bis- marck is dangerous. He has burned hi boats. broken with his sovereign and made bis own return to office impossible. It may not suit him to refrain from further con- fiiots. Baron Bleiscnrseaer, who is said to have arranged the interview in the Neue Fueie Presse, has fallen 1nto disfavor at the court and wiill protably be less conspicuous 1 politics henceforth than foamerly. It is 1o secret that to some extent, at all ovents, ho controls the Vienuese organ and bis in- torvention In the Bismarck question has bon rescated, ‘The emperor will have plenty of time, now that ho has started for Norway, %o reflec; upon the wisdom or unwisdom of his receat conduct, und it may be hoved that he will abstain from adaing to the prevailng con- fusion by prolonging tie campaign ngaiust the ex-chancellor, Kalker Wilhelm's Model Ship, During the visit of the Italian royalists here tho kaiser astonished Signor Brindisi They Have b/ showing bim & model of a man-of-war of his own designing Ship tuldivg has always been ono of s majesty’s chief hobbies, and so loug as he does not force the designs upon the noval contractors, it muy remain a harmloss fad.

Ono of tho frequent and fnspiring inci- aents attending the convention is the meet- ingof a_union and a confederato soldier, invariably the signai for a livtle love feast. Again and again bave thespeakers before tho convention declared for a brotherheod that shall kaow no north and no south, no ecast no wost. The sentiment 1s always cheered to the ccho. and no other seems to inspire a hearticr, more enthusiastic response. Tnis ' scntiment finds expression 1n the tacit understanding that one of the canaidates shall come from the morth and the other from tho souih. Had President Polkc of the alli- ance lived it is probable he would have been urged by the south for first place, but it is now conceded that a man irom the great wost is moro availavle, and the southern delegates, carrying out the spirit of brother- hood and zood will, ave entirely coutent to take second place, Yunks and Johnny Rebs Talk, In this spirit 8 reuniov of the blue and the gray was held at the Coliseum last e ing.

Glory Enough for the North, Mmr. Wimterley told of a conversation with a Southern professor at tae opeaing of the war, who predicted tiat the coutest would last four years, foretold tho trials of the reconstruction period and prophesied that unless the preccdonts of his- tory fmled as a guie, tho liverties or tho people would ' bo enduugored twenty-five years later by the aggrandize- ment of monopolies, The speaker then went into a discussion of the political situation, which he bejioved had been 50 prophetically anticipated. In closing he said : “Why should you soldiers of the north, why should you ‘sons of northern soldiors hate me?! [Cries of “We don’t, we don't!"] You whipped us and you got glory enough when you did it. Now let us bury that war and its prejudices and let us be brothron.” “The audience rose to its foot spentaneously with three cheers and waving of nats.

[Copyrighted 1892 by New York Associtted Press.] Bereiy, July 2.—Prince Bismarck has been assiduously entreated at Kissengen to delay further attack on the emperor and Chancellor Cuprivi, He maintains, how- ever, absolute silence, oxcept to deny having attacked the emperor. His special organs— the West Deutsche Allegameine Zeituug, the Munich Allegemeine Zeitung and the Ham- burger Natchriston — have alsv become silent. Tne Hamburger Natchriston for days past has not mado the slightest refer- ence to the situation. L'his silence does not mean cessation of the conquest, The parties are excitea and are arranging themselves for or against Prioce Bismarck. The leaders of the national liberals, thoagh disapprov- 1ng the prince’s recent uttoraucss, are ready to resont any interfersuce with him or to op- pose the government if it ventures upon a prosecution. A strong section of the con- servatives are in a similar mood. On the other hund the freissinmige party and the central party want the government to tuke immediate action agawst the prince. Av a meoting of the party, the speaker declared that the revelations made by Prince Bis- marck verged upon high treason and that ho ought to be tried for that offense. They de- nounced iim as seeking to embroil Europe in order to avenge himself on the emperor and Chancellor von Caprivi and as compromising the case while giving vent to his ill humor, Bismarck Must Be Caretal, The Frankfort Zeaitung, a liberal organ, urges that it is time to end the toleration tho government has accorded Prince Bismarck. The ministers, it says, should accopt the challenge he has offered. They will need all, but the struggle will enable the govern- ment to distinguish between its friends and its enemics. The oficial opinion is that if the prince renews his attacks, prosecution will be inevitable and prompt. In the meantime Prince Bismarck is enjoy- ing rapose after his triumphal progress, and his presence at Kissengen hus drawa crowds to the place. Ho rasides in a villa belonging to the Bavarian government, to which is at- tached spacious grounds and a garden along who river Saale. He has a guard of Bavarian soldiers, who nave been specially detached to honor him. A carriage and hovse for his use have been sent by the prince regent of Bavaria. Every night a band plays in front of the villa and during its performances the prince, smoking a loug pipa, can generally bo seen ata window listeming. He treats the members of the band at intervals with copious draughts of beer and hobnobs with the bandmaster over wine and cigars. Tho crowd greefs him with repoated *hochs.' Tho prince seldom goes out, bat he receives a large number of visitors. Knows dust ¥ His outings are sometimes accompanied by- troublesome ovations. The injury to the vrines’s eye, caused by his boing struck a ow Far to Go, shorttime ago by a bouqust that,was thrown to bim by afervent lady admirer, was not at all serious. In a private loitor to a Hamburg friend, alluding to tho threatening prossou tion of hiwmself, Prince Bismar says that ho has too much respect for himself not to kuow the limit beyond which he ought not to go. In roferring toothers, he deties sany one to siow that he has overstepped the limit, The Munich Allezemeine Za1tung returns to the defense of Princa Bismarck in an article denying that bis criticisms wera inspired by @ desire to return to office. It says that his summary dismissal prociuded all euch thoughts. The West Dautscho Allegemeine Zsitung renews its call for the publication of the truth regarding the prince’s disuissal, i simultancous appearance of the articles in both organs suggests that Prince Bismarck means to push the government to action, Will Attend the Naval Review. “The emperor, on his retura from his voyago to the north, will attend the combined naval and milivary manczavres, which will be held on a great scale at the boginniag of August at the mouth of the Elbe.

Just's deposition has now teen received. It fails to exonerate Holntz. From the details that are leaking out, conviction of the accused 1s certawn, It was tho disclo ures in this case from the Soutquires and their women associates that gave the emperor the impulse to issue his famous rescript, which resulted in severer penalties for immorality.

It was only yesterday that the bourso operators refused to transact business owing to the tax on bourse trarsactions. A popular demonstration was made against the uew tax placed upon retail operators. The men doing business on the market formed a procession and marched through the strects, shouting and yelling, and in every way showing their disapprobation of the new tax. When the shopkeepers heard that the market peopls wero coming they hastily closed their doors, fear- ing that the procession would piliage their shops. Those taking part in tho demonstration assaulted the police who wore trying to keep them in order, i the mean- time using insulting epithets toward the civil governor. Fiually the civil guard charged upon the mob, but met with unex- pected resistance. Stones, heavy sticis and anything that came handy wero thrown at the guard and many of them wero severely hurt. The officer in command eventually gave orders to his men to prepare to fire into the mob. and at the word a volley was noured into the rioters. This ended the fighting. Many of the crowd fell with blood pouring from their wounds, while those wha were ucinjured and those whose wounds were slignt sought safety in flight, leaving the civil guard in vossession of the field. The wounded were picked up and placed upon improvihed litters and carried to the hos- pital. It is thought that some of them will aie.

The steamer did not strike at the Barrel rocks as was at first stated. Before she had rounded the old Head of IKinsale she, ran on the mainland. Soundings haa been takeu which showed plenty of water, and thg steames was going atnearly full speed. - When she,atruck she forcea herself into a large beetling cliff thav stands * 203 feot. above the sea.. The.shock was sométhing femi- ful and many of the persons on deck were thrown completely oft their feet., The bows were torn out and the fors compartmant was soon full of water, when it was found that the steamer could not “get off by backing and that she was padly damaged. The eu- gines were kept going ahead o0 keop her on the rock as it was, though she might slide off into deep water as the tiderose, Tenders reached the wreck at 2 o'clock this morn- ing. They waited till the foz lifted, when hoy arranged to take many of tho passen- gers to Queenstown. The disaster will not interfere with tne regular service of the line.

It wus bedraggled and tired looking crowd of nassengers who arrived at Queenstown this afternoon. They had undergono all the torturas of agonizing suspense and had more than once beiieved themselves doomed to destruction. As it 1s their escaps seems almost miraculous, The danger of sinking on board ship is not half so terrible as the perils which resulted from what may be called tho panic-stricken management of those in charge of the ship. 'Pho passengers are outspoken and forcible in their criticism of the manner in which they were left al- most to shift for themselves. Among the first to reach Cork today wero Prof. Cameron of Princeton university, accompanied by Bayard Stockton, prosecutor of the court of common p'eas for Mercer county, New Jersey, his tamily and the two Misses Tyng of New York. Their expe- rience reads like a leaf out of one of Steven- son’s or Dr. Clark Russell’s most sensational ocean tales, 1 give you Prof. Cameron’s story in his own words: Elying Througl the Fog. “We ran into fog off Fastuet at about 5 o'clock Iriday afternoon. It is not necessary for me to tell you that in spite of the thick- ness of the fog the engines of the skip kept going av full sveed, but the fog hora was not blown. The only daunger we foared was that we might cut down one of tne many fishing vessels, which are very numer- ous ou the cost. But we trusted in good luck and the will of the captain w0 pull us! through. After dinner most of the passen- gers were on deck in happy expeotancy of soon seeing the tender: from Quecnstown, wayich was to take ashore & number of pas- sengers, including the Irisu-American poace deputation, who are bent on creating harmony between the fighting home rule factions, Captain Radford and two ofticers were on deck. Suddenly I saw a long line of rocks not more than 300 feet ahead of us. I rubbed my eyes under the impression that I was suffering from an optical illusion, but themore Irubbed my eyes the nearer we came to the rocks until the shrieks of several women convinced me it was live reality, and that we were making a bee line for what looked like the jaws of death. “When the inevitable collision between the ship and rocks arrived, 1t was less forci- ble than I nad expected, for we glided safely on the ledge and seemed to rest there in an easy position. The ougines wera reversed the very moment when danger becamo ap- parent, and to this fuct alone 1 ascribe our oscape from destruction. Captain Radford left the bridge aftor the accident and seemed undecided what course to pursue. It “Rattled" the Captain, “He plainly ‘rattled,’ and he can haraly be blamed. But one thoaght seemed upper- most in his mind, and that was the loss of his ship. Purser Kavanaugh did much to allay the fears, and under the circumstances the calmness and cool judgment of the pas- sengers, who, acting without instructions or knowledge of what to do, was wonderful and praiseworthy, A long wooden plank was placea rom the bow of the ship to the chiff, and we could have walked ashore, but this operation was attended with more or loss of danger. Finally three boats were ordered over, and manned by shorthanded crews of sailors. “Iam not exaggerating when I say that the first boat had to be cut loose with an axe before it would yield to the swinging of the davitts. About fifty passengers were put in each boat, and after much exertion, in which wo had the pleasure of helping the suilors hanale the boat, we roached shore, all tho women 10 & more or less state of exhaustion ., Here we met a number of coast guards to whose invaluable services we owe much, In order to reach a pluce of safely we were obliged to climb a sixty-foot ladder, along the steep sides of tho chiff. This was a most perilous task. The foot- hold was not particalarly inviting, and a practical test has not given me a high opin- lon of this manner of elevating onesell, even in time of danger. After reaching tho end of the rope wo were obliged to clamber slong the scraggy sides of the rock, but the women accomplished iL with courage born of des- poration. “Once In safety, we wera taken in hand by kind-hearted peasuuts who helped us along with words of comfort and cheer, and did everything possible to make our lot easier.” The passengers aro being well cared for by ageuts of the Inman line, who are very zeal- ous in attending to thelr wants.

C., July 2.—Thero is great excitement here over the report that the American cruiser Corwin seized the steamer Coquitlam in Alaskan waters, besides several Canadian sealers. The Coquitlam 1s owned by the Union Steamship compauy of Vancouver aud is chartored by an association of sealers to carry supplies to schoouers in Bering sea and bring back skins, Her ownors will wake A representation to the Dowminion gov- ernment 1n regard to the matter. "It is said the Coquitiam had 8100,000 worth "Thé members of the crow were made prisoners. The seizure, it is thought, will do much toward breaking up poaching, us it will forco the poachers to come in from the sealing grounds for supplies, The Corwin also over- hauled twenty-five British schooners in Port Etches, and after giving them a reasonable time for repairs ordered them out of the har- bor., —— TURNERS AT S10UX CITY, Teams from Various Parts of the West En- Joying n Siovx Ciry, Ia, July —|Spacial Tele- gram to Tne Bre. |--The hieavy rains which fell duriag last night made Riverside park an undesirable place for the turners today, 'ho grass was wet and the trees dripping and it was decidod to carry out the program i the hall.

BLUE AND GRAY IN UNION BOUND 01d foldiers Put in an Evening in Wiping Out the Past, COMMITTEES WERE HARD AT WORK Not Wishing to Labor on Sunday, Tolled Saturday Night—\What Aus other Day Brought Forth Reto 1'% Holy Cause, ‘The first day’s session of the national con- vention of the people’s party was a hurmoni- ous one, After the temnorary organization of the convention, and while the various commit- tees were in session, the interval was con- sumed in speeches by Donnelly of Minnesota, *‘Cyclone” Davis of Texas, and to accentuate tho harmony displayed on all sides a genuine Indian with long raven locks was called to the stand and made one of tho most eloguent and incisive speeches of the day. But little in‘the way of sub-iantial business was tran- sacted, as it did not seem to be the desire of the delegates to proceed in any other than the most deliberate manner. At the close of the afternoon session an adjournment was taken until Monday at 8 o'clock, when the permanent organization will be made and the report of the committee on rules aud resolutions presented and adopted. After that will como the nomina- tion of candidates for the presidency and vice presidency, and the only contest of the convention will probably take place at that time. An informal session is to bo held this afternoon for memorial exercises in respect to the memory of ox-President Polk of tho Farmers Alliance and Industrial Uaion and other decensed leadors of the roform move- ment. Not S0 Awfully Unanimous, ‘The convention is entiroly at sen as to its presidential ticket and the indications are tha when the roll of states is cailed for the vresentation of caundidates for the pre dency at loast a dozen names will o placed beforo the convention. The telegram from Judge Gresnam, curtly informing General Weaver, Ignatius Donnelly and others that he would not accept the nomination on any platform, settles all doubts us to the Gresham position, and he is no longer mentioned in connection with the presidential nomination The candidate most freelv montioned is CGeneral James B. Woeaver of Jowa, and there Is little doubt that ne will lead upon the first ballot, although there will be so many candidates in tho field that 1tis quite improbable that any uomination will be reached until at least twoor threo ballots have been taken. Senator Stewart of Ne- vada, Senator Kyle of South Dakota, Igua- uus Donuelly of Minnesota, Senator John P, Jones of Nevada, and Paul Vandervoort, are ouly & few of thoso meationed in connection with the presidential noumnnation. Looking for Favorite Sons, Itis very probavle that a dozen favorite sons will come into public prominence before the convention opons on Monday morning There are shzht indications that delogates who go to muko up the people's party conven- tion are not likely to altogether forget their former affiliations in balloting for the prost dency. The farmers atlianco people ure dis- posed to favor & presidential candidate who has veen an active member of the alliance while the iKnights of Labor are in the same way likely to record with special favor one who has been identified with their organiza- tlon, In like mauner the radical free silver men look very kindly toward the candidates from the silver states. And it is probably because of the signifi- cant numerical strength of the silver dele- gatos that Seuators Jones and Stewart have suddenly loomed iuto prominence. A great many of the silver men are quite enthusiastio for Senator Stewart of Nevada, but the dele- gates from Wis own state maintain quite positively that he is not a candidate and de- clare that the wish longer to rotain him in congress should be respocted. Despite the position of the Novada delegates, however, the members of the Silver league geuerally look with muck favor upon Senator Stowart, and nothing but the decided stand of the delegates from his own state will prevent bis name being presented to the couvention, If Not First Muybe Second, The is but little discussion of the vice presidency. It is quite probable that of the various candidates for the vice presidency some unsuccessful aspiraut will be contoared on the second place.

But Mr. Watson has instructed the Georgia delegation to see that bis name is not presented Lo the conven- tion iu this conuection.
