SURPRISED AT HIS MINUTE INFORMATION He Was Thoroughly Well Acquainted with Every mitted to Be Earning Thelr Branch of the Service—Ad- Salaries as Ofiice (Oopyrighted 15 LoNpe Cable—Special to T ago an agitation which promised to afford rare sport for the million, and to give the orators of Hyde Park a new and inexh tible theme for their denunciation of wicked- ness 1 high places, was started by a news agency. The rumor went forth that the duke of Connaught, third son of the queen, was to succeed Lord Robert as commander-in-chief of ths forces in ludia. In tne courso of a few hours that section of the prass which is always ferreting out something disagrecablo 1o say about any member of the royal family was in @ whirl of excitement. Here was another Job at the expense of the taxpuyers, ®nd worse cven thau that, it would very likely result in the loss of India. The duke of Cannuught did not evon know how to *'set a squadron 1n the fiold,” ana now he was to be hoisted over the heads of the most experi- enced soldiers Eugland has to show. It was a capital havo to start, but it did not run very far. An official contradiction appeared almost instantly, and the agitators with their alarwing cries and blue fiae had to beat n retreat. It was a pity, for we might have had o procession to Hyde park anc lots of specches tomorrow if things could bo left as they were going for & few duys longer. They Know the Trade, Of course the duke ot Connaught is not a soldier in the sense that Lord Roberts is one, but the bitterness of the attacks upon Wim caunnot be explained by that fact. "Phe general impression 1 the public mind is thet the queen’s sons aud relations are only put into the army and nuvy as a meaus of vroviding them with haudsome incomes, aud that they never take the least trouble to learn their duties, Now that is where tho great mistake is mado. “¥o far from being nogligent or igrorant, all these persons have worked hard to fit themselves for their position, ana ttey are quite on the level in point of technicai proficiency with their brother oficers. Therc is no better sailor, for instance, i the royal navy than the duke of Eainburgh. Every branch of the service is familiar to him, The duke of Connaught was & cadet at Woolwich when only 16, and from that day to this has been performing military duties. He served 10 Egypt in 1852, Since then be has been much in India. No one dreams of suggesting that he is to be putona level with Lord Roverts, who went through the Indian mutiny aud fought through the Abyssinian campaign.

Ior two days we had the duke of Cambridge before us as a witness. Ho was at first looked upon with great sus- picion by the radical membvers of the com: mittee, who expected to sec bim bowled over with the first few questions. It soon becamo evident that there was ©po dotail conuected with the army, from the cost of the private soldier’s boots to the ac- tual strength of tho entire British forces, which he had not at his fingers’ end. He Knew his business thoroughly, and answerod overy question without hesitation, and was found to be absolutely right in all his facts and proved boyond doubt that ne took the deepest interest in the welfare of the rank and file and wanted to see them treated more Iiberally in many respects, but has uo power in the matter. “If you want & good army,” be suid, “you must pay for itand the Houso of Commons is always cryiug out for ccouomy.

The extent ot the panic caused by the epi- demic fn Hambarg is shown by a letter which the burgomaster of n town in_ east Prussiarecently seat to a citizen of Han- burg, who, it had bosu learaed, intended to Visit the town in question. In his communi- cation tho burgomaster earnestly prayed the Hamburger, on behalf of the excited citizons of the towa which he reprosontod, to oithor Postpone or abandon altogather his intention to make the proposed visit. A further caso in point is where a commercial traveler was expolled from Velton beonuse a Hamburg absl was found on his boxes.

The riotous action of the people was the result of wild rumors that the officials 1utended to poison all patients who were suffering from the disease, and that in their haste to got their bodies out of the way they would bury the unfortunate victims befora life haa actually deoarted. These stories wero ac- cepted by the ignorant people as true, snd the consequence was that they were aroused to a high piten of frenzy ana resolved at ail hazards to prevent the ofiiciats from carrying out their supposed inhuman practices, When it was learned that the droaded visitors had arrived in the town a large and excited mob besieged the oficials 1 tho hotel at which they haa engaged apartments, The crowd storined tlo building, smashing windows und doors aud loudly tbreateniug to Lake the live: of the ofticiuls.

Panis, Sept. 2.—[New York Horald Cable—Special w0 Trn Bk, |—1 have often remarked to the readers of the Herald that in Buvopean international politics what seems of least account i3 oftsn of tho great- est importance to the peace of Kuropo. Sometimes a patient sufiering from o serious constitutional malady gets well. At this moment all fear of immedinte danger has passed away, but still the doctors are anxious, knowing that it {s possible for some new Srmptoin to Appaar to indicate a new aggra- vation of the malady, which might carry oft the patient. There are two symploms seri- ous enough that we must take note of. Firat, the note of Russia addressed to Turkey, in regard to Bulgaria. Tho Russian government reproaches Turkey with having entered into relations not recognized by Europe with the prince of Bulgaria, Then, 1if Turkey violates the treaty of Berlin, Russia ought to have perceived that another power besido Turkey bas often violated the samo treaty, Dut until now it was the czar's policy to ‘igoore what was going on in ' the Balkaus. Tho Russian note cannot_have any direct infiu- ence, except upon the poor treasury of the Ottoman empire, for eyery time that Russia reproaches Turkoy the latrer pays up one of the numerous arraars of indemnity due from the war of 1850, Proves Wi 18 Possible, Still the occurrance 'has great importance for tte future. It proves that Russia is not quite so disinterestdia regard to the affairs of Bulzaria. esides, the czar will consider the moment opportuna for interfering, and a 1easo 1 for a Buropean war will be found. It ¢lso proves that the Frranco-Prussian entente extends to even easiera affals, for ouly France is “believed t5 betable to prop up the demaud of Russia for Constantinople. Of the ovents what shallhuve betn recorded in Europe ut the tury, the note of Russia of Septemyer, 1692, will not e for- gotten. Another symptom 1s the visit of Emperor William to Vienna, The announcement is suddenly made, 8nd that is rather astonishing; as it bad been said he would go to Humburg. They say that Kmperor William {5 going to Vienna to hunt with the Austrian emperor. I would like to know when the affair is over if the puplic will be silly to accept this explanation. William 1s going to Vieana to talk oyer with his ally some questions already very much discussed, Tho relotions botween Ger- many and Austria ave not as good as they were. Tho tréaty of commerce lately signed gives bad results for the former coua- ry, as Prince Bismarck had forescen. The relations between the bourses of the two countries are strajned. The Ber- lin bourse no lonzer quotos certain Austrian railrond stock, beeause of the new Austrian impost. ‘Wheh the financial rela- tions between the 1o countries are bad the political relatious canuot bs wood. This, then, is half the explanation of the visit of Emperor Williani, What William Wants, Hero is another motive: Germany is in- creasing tho strength of her effec- tve army and her war budget, “'he kaiser goes to Vienna to ask Austria to augment her armies on the frontier; to give s n pretext for this piece of folly the Franco-Russian entente, He will argue that the armies of the triple alliauce ougut to be increased. As Italy can do no more, having arrived at the limit of ber finances, the bur- den must 0o laid upon Germany and Austria, We would like 1o know how Austria will accept these German propositions, Lt is pos- sible that the German party in Austria will advise tueir accaptasce, and that the millions may bespent, but the Czechs, Huu- garians and Poles will refuse.

There is no question of the power of congress to legislate in the matter of national quarantine.

Mr. Kem'’s Work In Congress Was Unfavor- uble to His Party. O'NenLi, Neb,, Sept. 24.—|Specal Tele- gram to Tue Beg.|—This was unquesticn- ably republican day in O'Neill. After, the demonstration hera today by the republicans of Holt county no man will be inclined to nssert that the grand old party has not a large, earnest and enthusiastic_followlng in ‘this _ section .of the country. ' The oceasfon which called forth this demonstration on the partof republicans was the joint discussion by Hon. Ames Whitehead, the repuolican nominee for con- gress, and Hon. . M. Kem, the independent congressman. Through the courtesy of the principals of the aebate Mathew Gehring, democratic nomiuee for attorney geueral, was granted an equal share of the time, By this arrangement Mr. Whitenead was placed under the aisadvattage of having two anu-protection advocates to combat with in the support of the doctrine of his pavty. But to say that he provea himself equal 1o ths emergency is but to assert what every- body who knows Mr. Whitehead, knows him to be capabie of doing. Mr. Whitehead in- augurated the debite. Hesides ably cham- pioning the principles enuuciated "1 the national platform, he briefly referved to the public record and votes of his adversary in copgress 1n a manner which made the inde- pendents wince, Mr. K 's Reco Again, He showed that Mr. Kem ia his vote against the timber culture bill, which con templated granting fo the entrymou the right to wake proof within eight vears though the requisite number of trees were not in living, growing condition aftor reasonable effort to comply with the law had been mede, was ln direct opposition to ths farmers. Mr. Whitehead said ho had takan th) pains to write to the lana offices in '+ lixth congressional dis- triot to uscertain vnat proportion of uctual settlers or residents of the state were affected by this measure and the re- sult of his investigation was that tho ratio of nonresidents was 95 to 4 per cent in favor of the actual sattler, and Mr. Kem haa vored agalust tie measure bocaase un amend- ment propesed by nimself cenying to the 4 per cent nonresidents the same privilege, wus not adopted. Ninety-six per cent of actual residents were aenied their well earned and deserved benefits of this proposed law because the 4 por cent nonresident men were to receivo the same privilege, He ulso produced a bill which Kem had in- troduced that contemplated the uuloading of an old and worthless gas plant in Washing- ton onto the government at an enormous pric Kept Busy Defending His H a .

BruLiy, Sept. 24 —Betore placing the new army bill, on which hinges the futo of the government, before the Bundsrath, the em- poror has sent State Secrotary Maltzabn to conter with the Hnance winisters of Bavaria, Saxcny and Wurtemburg. Upon the reduc- tion to two years of the military service, coneurrent upon raisiug the annusl con- uugeat by 93,000 men, he found the govern- ments of the federal states roady to Rive thoir assent, but on the financial projects for meoting tho extra budgot, thore was extreme diversity of opinion. One important feature of the bill, proposing. to unify military legislation in accordance with the Prussian law, mot with the liveliest op- position of the federal sratos. The Bavarian government brusquely dechned 1o discuss the proposul. T'he present stuto of the ne- gotiatious leaves tho period of introduction of the bill uncertain.

The announcement that the river is infected witlPthe cholera bacilli has set the people of Berlin on their guard. The inhab- itants of the city now filter and boil all the water thoy use for drinking. The saniwary committee has stutioued sentinels along the banks of tho Elbe, Oder, Spree and Havel to keep watch upon the barges which are now recoguized as carrying the infection. The Hamburg Board of Trade today issued anotico of the establishment of two central sanitary stations on the upper and lower 5l e, where all the passing river craft will be subject to nspection and where certifie cates of healtn will be given. The examina~ tion commenced today of merchandise passe ing between Hamburg and Altona and also of all vessels, No restrictions are placed upon the passenger trafiic, but visitors re- maining in Altona for twelve hours must re- port themselves to the authorities.
