His late father Harry Arnim, was formerly ambassud Paris. Ou October 4, 1874, when fift y Count Harry was arrested in his at Nassenhe sud cr prose of his ofticial positiou and embezzlement of official documents, After a seven days trial e was condemned snd sentcnced to two years im- prisonment. He d to Switzerland. While there he wrote and publishea his famous pamiphlet, entitled “Pro Ni a fending himself and viclently attacking Bis- marck. He died at Nice, May 19, 1851 Since the day of his arrest his son has been incessanily occupied in defending his father's memory against Bismarck's hos- tility, always contending that his father sufered the grossest injustice and was 1on0- ceatly condemned. Blum's Book Provoked It. Those who knew the energetic, Sery young count will pot be surprised that He @1d not wiow 1o pass the opportunity given to him by Herr Blum's recent book of reve- lations, inspired by Bismarck, which con- tained renewed grave charges against Ceunt Harry and a specified charge that he delayed the Settlement of toe French war indemnity for his own purposes, name e specula- tions in combination with Baron Hirsch. Shortly atter the appearance of the boc will be remembered, Count Arnim vigorously conradictad the allezations againsi his father's memory and wrote a long letter to Bismarck, calling on him to coniradict within the malicious staten Bismarck did mot reply. Arnim then published his letter to Biswarck, in extenso, in all the leading papers. It is ccrtain that he has not spoken his last word nor said every- thing he has to_say to clear bis dead father's character. The letter to editors with which Aruim accompanied his leiter o Bismarck is interesting. Here it is: His Letter to the Eds Benwis, Dec. 80, 1893.—Sir: 1 beg to inclose & copy of a letter directed by me to Prince Bismark on the Sth inst., requesting you to publish the same. As I huve received no reply 1 am compelled to invite public opinion. It is not my object now to ascertain whether a shadow of proof can be brought to support the silly story in Dr. Blum's book that my father exploited his official as embus: or in Parls in doing speculative business with Buron Hirsch. 1 have already stigmatized 1hits allegation us u wiserable siander; but it 18 necessury today 1o ascertain whether the which Biswarck is Indebted to the incompar- able sgratitude, wodesty und munificence of the late Emperor William L., has so much re- duced Bismurck's views of bonor that be can rise above the laws that are ruling others. 1 represent the view that Prince Bismarck, like everybody else, has the obvious duty to bring proofs if he circulates stories detrimental to the honor of another. Ho has not the privilege 1o evade that duty by the comfortable excuse that such things can not be proved. 1 further represent the view that Prince Bismarck, like anybody else, has the obiigation to either renounce publicly an responsibility, or if he cannot do that, 1o pub- licly acknowledge his error in a case where he must know a stutement to be untrue that was made fn a book. the authorof which especially refers 1o him s his authority. 1f be does not fulfill this simple and olear duty no right thinklug man witll have any doubt as to how such action on the vart of Prince Bismarck ought 1o be stigmatized.

Prince Bismarck received over 3.000 tele- graphic messages of congratulation from aif- ferent parts of Germany and from abroad on New Year's day Herr Kleas' Libel Prial Herr Kloess' libel trial has led to consid- erable comment as to the difference of the respective temperamentsof Prince Bismarck ard General von Caprivi. The lenient sen tences. it is claimed, prove that an immense change has occurred in tpe wvolitical views and opénions since the dismissal of the iron chancellor. People ask themselves whether any court of justice would, under Prince Bismarck's government, have had the inde- pendence merely to fine an offendor 100 marks for insulting him in a similar manner. ‘The curtoons in question were exception- ally insulting. In one Prince Bismarck was depicted as situng on a monument, bound in chains and holding upon his knee a paper inscribed, “‘Germany, My Thought by Day and Night.” The monument was inscribed, “To an Old Grumbler, from a Grateful Fatherland,” and the pedestal was in- scribed, “This Place Will Be Disinfected Every Morning.” The monument rests ou a stand inscribed, “Spittoon for Place Hunters, District Presidents and Court Parasites.’ The other inscriptions were oqually sulting to Chancellor von Caprivi, all to the project of erecting a monument to Prince Bismarck. The writer of the label said that they wanted to doaway with t ex or forever, justas the emperor in parting wished 1o g m £30,000, and de- clared that the people would be glad to get rid of him by building a monument In another passage Chancellor von Caprivi is described being a weak and indolent lor, and rged with being re- le for the iuf f Russiun Jews inzo s for the introduction of in- ding neel chance spons Germany ra 1010 the ¢ Never Made the Fromise The Cologne Gazette denies the report that Prince_Outo Schaumberg-Lippe, who mar- ried a Catnolie recently, promised befor the wedding, which was solemnized in a Catholic chureb, that the children of his marriage should be oduca ted in the Catholic faith, adding that Cathelie oficers of the Prussian army are forbidden to give such & promise under the pain of being cashiered d weather causes the er ery in many quarters in b aud aadi tional shelters have been opened here for the accommodation of 2,000 more people, who re ceive coffee and bread froe of charge.

It nas been obvious for several weeks past, although in 10 way stated iere 15 great restless- ness among the Irish members of Parli which, unless checked, may increase degree that the G move ut will be overthrown. It will be remembered that his majority depends on seventy-two national- ists. If they should merely abstain from ing on any ministerial question of im- portacce the ministry must fail. In view of the seriousness of the situation, there- fore, 1 have secured from & prominer tionalist, who 1s 1n the intimate confidence of nationalist leaders in Parliament, this written stat mt of the prospective atti- tude of that party: 3 McCurthyites aod Morley. 1 don't pretend to speak for the nine Red- ondite members, but the seventy-two Mc- Carthyites are growing dissatisfied at the in aptitude of Morley's Irish administration His sdministrative policy is purely negative. He hasdropped the coercion act, but with that exception there is no material distinction between Ireland under Morley and undor Bal- four. The leavening of the magisterial bench, which ¢ ains about 99 per cent of tories, has not been attempte The system of Jury packing ut criv 1 trials is still o force, and o fact all the bhuted muchinery of ihe castle govern- ment s still in effective, if not in ostentatious, operation. Itis not surprising that the na- tionalists are growing impatient waiting for adminlstrative reforms, which are appurently as distant as when Balfour reigned in Dublin. Of course Morley is surrounded in the castle by permanent officlals, who loathe home rule und are wedded by interest and prejudice to the 0ld rotten system. But his inmbility 10 ewuncipate himself from these perniclous in- fluences isone of the most grievous disap- pointiments of the situation from a national- ist standpoint. mpany.] th: tosuch a adstor Something Must Be Done. We are being unwillingly driven to the con- clusion that he is too weak for his post. Unless more vigoris thrown into the reform of ud- ministrative abuses henceforth, the Me- Carthyites will certainly make thelr griev- ances felt in the House of Commons. The nationalists exist to advance the Irish popular dewands, and they huve given vital aid by thelr votes to the prese ent by car- rying English legislation elief thut they would be repaid not only by the pussage of howe rule, but also by some attempt to give the Irish people their rightfal share In the management of Irish affairs pending the set- tiement of bome rule. Their forbearance hus been mistaken for mcguiesence in Morley's policy. They now intend to bring strong pres- sure to beur on the ministers toremedy the scandal of the muglstracy and to correct other sbuses, which can be done withcut legislation, in order to get -ussuruuces that either the plan of introducing the home rule into the House of Lords ut the next session, or by some other effective means home rule shall be kept in the fore front of the ministerial program snd o give ressonable priority to an evicted tenants, bill. Otherwise the nationalists muy be com- pelled to go back to Ireland, summon a nationsl convention and take the will of the people s 10 whether they will continue to support a ministry which is unable or unwill- ing to give them any tangible returns. Extreme Measures Unlikely. There is little anticipation, however, that these extreme measures will be necessary. No doubt is entertained us 1o the wish of Mr. Mor- ley to improve the Irish administration and strong representations from the party are ex- pected 1o have the desired result. His fllness may account for his past want of energy, but he is now quite recovered and may show more uctivity. The nationolists, for their part, ure firmly resolved that neither the claims of English legishation nor tory alarm about the navy shall be permitted to obscure the demands of Ireland. They ) symipathy with the policy of the Red- mondites, and will not swerve from the duty of keeping the present government in s0 long as they are convinced that it s 10 redeem its pledges 1o Irelund; but when that conviction disappears they will not besltate 10 take decisive action varamount ver power Shrewd Move Accompliched. It certainly is within the power of the Irish party to force dissolution at any time, with all its risk+ of the return of the tory party tocontrol and the probable indefinite postponement of home ruie, but the winis. try yesterday announced a fact which must enormously strengthen it with the laboring party of England and Scot- land, whatever may be the rebellion inIreland. This was the aration that the War department, cmploying some 20,000 workmen, has adopted eight hours for a day's work with no reduction of wages. Lomcally the sume course must mow be taken in the Navy department id thus the government will be fully committed 1o the principle which the lubor party & for years fighting for with vractically no success ungil yesterday. dec s beer .

Premier Perier, having affairs behind the recent arainst anarchists. but as siveof a too v nt opposition, is now moderately independent of the factions in the assembly and is concentrating all his resources of diplomacy on the turning voint of foreign affairs. The first effect of the Russian entente is seen in the assured tone of French diplomacy.

Ridiculous stories of in- efficiency of the French fleet are eravely di cussed in high places.

As a matter of fact there is not a well formed man in France who does not hold the Russian and French fieets to be equal, if not superior, to the Enghsh fleet and on a pinch equal to that of the Triple All combined. Two cabinet ministers have gone their constituencies during the last week. The burden of their addresses was the habilitation of France, the absence of all future discord, the readiness of the republic to meet aggression of the sort put on her for the last twenty years with every resource at hand that can justify confidence. Quite Willing to Fight. The intent of all this is clearly 1o warn Germany that France has no more conces- sions to make 1 Africa and to Eugland know that in Siam the French people pro- pose to cry French interest alone. Satisfled with the repressive laws, snatched from the terrors rather than given by the reason of the assembly, the ministry is pursuinz a forcibly feeble campaign of ex- termination toward the 1a all shades. Constitutionally, indeed, the ministry is less strained thun was the Olivier cabinet in 1870, and measures are enforced ull over France that would have brought Napoleon 111 to destruction long before Sedan. had his ministers attempted them. But the plain people gladly sanc the most drastic measures, assured, as they are, by the new and deternined tone of the foreign office that England 1s no longer to hold the Mediterranean as an Euglish lake, and that German censorship of France is no longer to be tolerated.
