LONDON, June 22.—(New York World Cablegram—Speclal Telegram.)—The attitude of the French at Kiel has been watched throughout Europe with almost as much in- terest as the historic ceremonies. From the characterletically meager information given in either the English, German or French news- papers it would appear that the French offi- cers behaved themselves with churlish in- civility, going through only the compulsory official routine, giving and accepting no courtesies, and last night, when all the other visiting vessels were brilllantly illuminate shrouding their ships so that even the port- hole lights were darkened. All anti-German demonstrations were, It is true, promptly suppressed In Paris by the police, but the Figaro of yesterday distributed a cartoon, by the talentel caricaturist, Foran, representing the symbolic figure of France standing on the bank of the North Sea canal with dishevelled gown and watching the ironclads pass below, with this legend: “Comment, cest triste @etre la Avre le manteau disheri.” BITTER WORDS FROM DE CASSAGNAC. Meanwhile French protests against the alli- ance with Ru increases in the Parisian press. MM. Eimond Adam and Edouard Drumont and now Paul De Cassagnac ha this week adied their warnings to the growing chorus. The latter credits the czar with having forced the presence of the French ships at Kiel. “We cannot help feeling a grudge against Russla,” he says, “for having so wantonly fgnored and wounded our national sentiment, and we are naturally led to ask what profit France Is likely to gain in return for all she has done for Russia, for whom she has sac- rificed moncy, pride and honor? What was the motive of the Russian alliance? To Keep us out of a confict with Germany? The usefulness of this safeguard disappears from the moment we enter the avenue of recon- ciliation with Germany, and now that the cup of shame has been drunk to the dregs, why not ally ourselves directly with Ger- many? We can scarcely be more dishonored than we are after Kiel, and we should at least have the very costly commission which we have had to pay for Russia’s good of fices. The further we move into the good graces of Germany the less we shall want an alliance, which was only meant to guar- antee us agalnst Germany.” ADVERTISING THE ST. LOUIS, The matter with Sir Jullan Pauncefote's trip on the Ste Louls, of which I gave the World the first intimation, published every- where, continues to excite extraordinary in- terest in the northwest of England and Ire- land, and even the fall of the governm will probably not prevent its being made a serlous question when the diplomatic supply bill comes to be voted. The Liverpool mem- bers of Parliament, especially, declare it must be the last time a British official will be permitted to come over in an American ship. They point out that ever since the establishment of the American line to South- ampton members of the American embassy had Invariably patronized the American com- pany and never British ones. They say the contention of Forwood, M. P., on Thursday was correct, and that Sir Jullan, having come over chiefly to confer with the British cab- inet on the Bering sea and other international questions, his traveling expenses were paid by the government. It is certain from the acute condition of feeling in Liverpool that #t Sir Julian returns by the Southampton route a motion will be made in committee of supply of the House of Commons by them to reduce his salary, in order to call atten tion to thie matter. The net practical effect, however, all of this outery and these ques- tions in Parliament has been to give the American line a tremendous advertisement. GIBBONS REMAINS AT ROME. The World correspond, learned from Archdeacon Johnston, Cardinal Vaughan's secretary, that a letter has just been recefved from Cardipal Gibbons, tremely regretting (hat uld leave Rome in time to attend the great function of laying the foundation stone of the new Cath olic cathedral in Westminster next Saturday Cardinal Gibbons had hoped to be present and had accepted an invitation, but he finds he cannot safely leave Rome, as he is in con- stant consultation with the vatican author- ftles on important questions affecting chureh in America. The Standard’s Rome correspondent says the cardinal is belug re- celved by the vatican with exceptional honor, the pope wishes, if possible, to prevent the presentation of a memorial of grievances from the American hierarchy, of which he 18 the bearer. Cardinal Gibbons will only re- frain from presenting the memorlal by a soncession of the demand of the American bishops, and though he has been officially feted and lionized, there it yet no Indication that he has received any tangible promise of an sbandonment of the recent vatican polley toward the United States. Cardinal Gibbons' declsion to remaln at Rome at this excess- ively unhealthy sesson is interpreted in well fnformed Catholic circles here us fntended to demonstrate to the vatican his resolute de termination to see his misslon through quickly, despite the procrastinating ways of the vatican authorities, ARISTOCRACY ON WHEELS. Reports from New Yorkers recently ar- rived here say the bleycling craze there em- braces all classes, but it can hardly be as extraordinarily an epldemic as In London. It is the chief occupation, seemingly, of the ultra-fashionable set, and Is having curious development. Cyeling is not yet permitted in either Hyde or Regent's park, but the very latest fad of the smart set is to make up parties to ride at the dead of night through the deserted asphalt streets of the city. A Tew nights since Lord Cadogan g Barty at which the gusats lagluded the duch today ex he ¢ not the ess of Sutherland, Lady Arlington, Countess Dudley, Lady Chelsea, with several men prominent in the social world. The ladies dined in their cycling costumes, consisting of bloomers, covered skirt, while the in all cases by a light en were in knickerbockers. At half-past 10 the party, to the number of elghtecn, set off on cycles for the region between St. Paul's and the Tower, where, at that hour, except an occasional policeman hardly a soul is to be seen. Their example I8 now being generally imitated, so that the city is careened over nightly by many parties from the West End. Among public men the exercise is beginning to find many devotees. Mr. Balfour is an expert rider and returned this week from Ashted park, the residence of the earl of Brownlow, in Lincolnshire, to London, a distance of 160 miles on his bicycle, accompanied by Mi George Wyndesam, his private secretary. A few days ago the sedate janitors at the Carlton club were amazed to see Mr. with Sir John Gorst and Mr. bers of the late tory from their bicycles at th their machines into the hall, while they themselves lunched.

Not a word could be said against the reputas tion of either of the ladies, while the under- graduate bore an unexceptionable record. An example somewhat in line has just be afforded by the Protestant vicar of Gospel Oak, near London, Recently the organist of his church attended as a witness at the registry office of the marriage between May Yohe and Lord Francis Hope, and for thus countenancing the secular rite the organist was dismissed from his situation in the church. In this case, however, the vicar has lald himself open to legal proceedings for punishing an employe for doing what he had a legal right to do. HIS GUILT UNCERTAIN. Chief Hazen of the United States secret fervice is in London, watching the case of Mendel Howard, just convicted of counter- feiting. Howard says he is a civil engineer In the United States, and had patented there eleven different Inventions. He did not claim citizenship and says he was born in Germany. Justice Wright, in sentencing him Lo ten years' penal servitude, seems to have had some doubts of his guilt, since he de- clared that if at any time the prisoner was able to bring forward any person whose evidence might tend to show' innocence on his part, he himself would take care that the Information should be placed before her majesty’s advisers and the proper welght would be given to it, and the prisoner woula have every facility for communicating wite any person who might give Informatfon tend- Ing to substantiate his innocence. Marmaduke Wood, a young Englishman who made somé stir in New York a few months ago and who was lately charged here with giving worthless checks, was yesterday acquitted. GOSSIP OF THE CAPITAL. Ascot Week has been the most brilliant soclal event this year in the history of that Royal track and has been notable besides in the final withdrawal from the turf of Mr. McCalmont's famous hcrse, Isinglass, who crowned the most successful career on record by winning the Royal Cup race, value about $10,000 in money and a cup worth $5,000. He had won altogether in purses, including the Derby two years ago, nearly $300,000. His dam was a cart horse, although a thoroughbred, and it is estimated that she could hardly have drawn in a cart her son’s winnings in gold. Among the few Americans who succeeded in getting a ticket to the royal enclosure on cup day and being in a position to greet there the prince of Wales and other mem- bers of the royal family, was Mr. Richard Croker. W. W. Astor has returned to his Cliveden palace from a long absence on the continent since his wife's death, and on Sunday had a party with him on his steam launch, Mignonette, including the earl and countess of Cork. Danesfield-on-the-Thames, which was occu- pled by W. H. Vanderbilt last year, was offered for sale this week, but did not bring the price asked and was withdrawn. George du Maurier has completed his new novel, but declines to give any information as to its subject or purchaser. Thomas Hardy has at last consented to dramatize “Tess of the d' Umbervilles,” and Mrs. Patrick Campbell will assume the title role.

Madrid Press Print ments Against the Unlted Stutes. MADRID, June 22.—The Madrid press is publishing inflammatory statements as to the reported demand of the United States for the settlement of the Mora claim. The impres- slon apparently Is that Havana Is to be seized and held unles the Mora claim is paid. The Madrid newspapers say editorially that Presj- dent Cleveland's recent prociamation against Cuban filibusterers in the United States was to be followed by a payment of the Spanish government of the Mora cla The papers take the position that under this under- standing the United States authorities will not exert themeelves to carry out the president’s proclamation by a suppression of the filibus- terers until Spain has actually paid the claim. There is silence on the subject in government ecircles, and the excited statements of the Madrid press are not credited among off- clale, BECOMING OBNOXIY ERY Captaing of Spanlsh Vessols Searching Al Fassengers and Their Vaggage.

It s also the custom that he shall recommend to her majesty his successor. He may name Lord Salisbury, Mr. Balfour or the duke of Devon. shire. It is etiquette for the queen to send first for the person named. If Lord Salis- bury, he may decline and suggest Mr. Balfour or the duke of Devonshire. In either case it seems to be the general impression that even the conservative party will not again risk a peer premier and that Balfour will be chosen. But in event any of the three or any other may decline, then Rosebery retains office in a stronger position than before he had been de- feated. He offers the opposition control of the government; they decline; therefore they confess he has a real majority as represent- ing the effective lower house. If a conserva- tive leader accepts, there is no real doubt he has a majority, even if small, against him. He cannot dissolve Parliament until the sup- plies have been voted, and the liberal ma- Jority can prolong the session for months. The defeat yesterday was on a snap vote, one on which the conservativ, I be sentimental and even patriotic disadvantage It was about as sharp practice. very like a conspiracy, indeed, as ever was the work of a boss in a state legislature with us. ROSEBERY HAS THE BETTER OF IT. Tho Rosebery government has been for weeks In almost daily danger. of defeat at the hands of its own retainers, Welsh or Irish disaffected ones. Rosebery luck continues, e opposition has played into his hands, and he could not possibly have had a better op- portunity for resignation. It does not scem possible, however, there will be a general election, for at least six weeks to come, if even before autumn. In the meantime, the tory government, if it accepts office, will be confronted with a hostile House, and must lose prestige daily. Today's result is commonly accepted as the work of Joseph Chamberlain, the Machiavelli of British politics. Here is the situation as given me tonight by a shrewd and experienced observer: On tactical grounds it is evident that Rosebery is far better advised to resign than to demand the queen’s authority for an in- stant dissolution. By resigning the liberals will throw on to tories and liberal unionists the responsibility of forming a government to complete the essential work of the session and the voting of supplies before they can appeal to the country. Debates on the sup- ply can be continued by the liberals until such time as suits them to have a gen- eral election so that the tories, though in office, would be at the mercy of the liberals in opposition. Another reason why the lib- erals favor a resignation of the cabinet is be- cause the tory leaders will be forced to deal now with the claims of Chamberlain and the liberal unionists following to office without haviug the advantage of testing the liberal unionist influence in the country by a gen- eral election. CHAMBERLAIN'S OWN CRISIS. Mr. Chamberlaln has forced the present crisis against the judgment and wishes of Mr. Balfour. The tory leaders desired that the government should continue in power in expectation that the longer they remained the better chance the tories might get of a majority of the independent liberal unionists vote, which would have enables them to adopt a firm attitude in the apportionment of places among the liberal unionists, Chamber- lain has defeated this policy by precipitating the present crisis, and it is now known that of the the defeat government was secured by an unexpicted and abnormal rally o Chamberlain’s followers. It is even said that they entered the building by the private doors of the peaker's residence so as to avold marking by the government whips It Is possible the tory leaders may decline to take office under such circumstances, in which event the present cabinet would be restored and would be in a more powerful position than ever, as being forced to retain office by the Incapacity of its opponents to undertake its responsibilities. IRISH AFTER GLADSTONE, Contrary to prevailing statements on the eubject, the World correspondent can posi- tively assert that the McCarthyite Irish party is in favor of a resignation. The obstruction of the Welsh church bill by the torles and the inability of the ministers with the pres- ent majority to enforce a closure rénders the chance of passing an Irish land bill extremely remote. The hope of securing a land bill was the ole ground on which the McCarthy- ites were reconciled to keep the present gov- ernment in power for the remainder of the session, and the action of the tories in pre- venting the passage of that measure will as- sist the McCarthyites in winning the tory agricultural constituencles in Ulster. The Irieh leaders are bringing a strong influence to bear on Mr. Gladstone to make one more pronouncement on the Irish question, either by spech or manifesto, which, In their opin- fon, would again make home rule the prom- inent question at the general election. Glad- stone's assent has not so far been obtained, but the McCarthyites are hopeful that his unabated interest in the success of home rule may induce him to depart from his oft- repeated resolution—never to interfere again in current politics, T. P. O'Connar @vidently received the resig- nation with pleasure. He will say In his paper, the Sun, tomorrow, that “I am bound J Irish ingratitude. have adopted any other ‘course and defeat might e come in & much Worse form. It might have come from Mr. Lloyd George, and then we should have had Whglish liberals Iukewarm, because of folly; ar it might have come through the Parncflites, and then we should have other Iiberals protesting against Om the other hand, defeat has come on no question of ministerial polic and has been brought alon: by a very shabby trick and a most unusual and indeed unpa- triotic departure from offclal and parlia- mentary traditions.” WHERE BIMETALLISM FIGURES. When the general election does come, the bimetallists fn America need not count on that movement here being made an fssue by the conservatives, albeit Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chaplin are pronounced bimetallists and Mr. Groschen, the future tory chancellor of the exchequer, is well understood to be of an open mind on the question. The conserva- tive leaders are too shrewd to precipitate so controversial a question now on the great body of electors. 1If they secure office it will be time to declare the sympathy of the govern- ment A conservative government, however, is quite certain to be more sympathetic not only toward an international conference, but toward some practical discussion of the ques- tion than is the present ministry, I have been given tonight advance proofs of an ad- dress to be sent to the chancellor of the ex- chequer by the Bimetallic league, signed by many politiclans, bankers, merchants and representatives of the working classes, It attacks the contentlon of the monometallists that the prosperity of England is due to the gold standard. “These results,” say the memorialists, “were achieved before the adoption of the gold standard in this country, and it must also be remembered that during the chiet part of that period for nearly sixty years after 1816, all the businces of this country and the world was conducted under the dominating influence of the bimetallist sys- tem. So long as that system was maintained by the action of the foreign countries there was little, if any fluctuation or divergence in the relative values of gold and silver, The parity between them for all practical pur- poses was steadily maintained. The standard of value was comparatively stable, industries flourished, general prosperity increased, and the commerce of this country was conducted with equal facility whether with gold or sil- ver-using countries, in all parts of the world. ATTRIBUTED TO A SINGLE STANDARD., “We acknowledge that sa long as that posi- tion was maintained the gold standard suf- ficiently supplied our néeds, but the experi- ence of recent years has convinced us that these important results were due not to the operation of our single standard, but to the universal adoption of the double standard We are confirmed in this opinion by the fact that with the abandonment of bimetallism the immense advantages we have referred to have entirely disappeared since that event occurred and silver was dethroned. The at- tempt has been made for the first time In its history to conduct the business of the western world on a gold basis alone. This novel and great experiment has been followed by its natural results, a wide and increasing di- vergency and constant fluctuations In the value of precious maetals, which have hin- dered and embarrassed ‘trade and a progres- sive fall In prices, whith ¥ras been fatally Tn: Jurious to industrial undertakings. None of the alarming consequences whith are now foreshadowed by your other memorialists occurred under bimetallism in the past, and while experience proves that it was co- existent with our period of greatest prosperity no argument or reason has been hitherto ad- duced to warrant the assumption that these consequences would be likely to arise if it was adopted In the future. On the other hand, it is not denied that since the mints of foreign countries have been closed to the free coinage of silver, new conditions have arisen which have vitally affected the operation of our single standard, and transacted by its means various considerations tured to submit. WHY THEY COME FORWARD. “‘Moreover, it is a fact that the very evils which your memorialists allege will happen from any change cr modification in our cur- rency. Under the operation of our present system contracts have been disturbed, the burden of the debtor has been doubled, prop- erty depreciated, and enterprise Is checked, with a corresronding loss of cipital embarie In industry and of employment to the work- ing classes. Surely these are matters of grave and serious importance which deserve nd should command attention, and yet they pear to be entirely ignored by business men in the city of London, an¥ not even to have entered fnto their consideration. We think with great respect that with the general and widespread depression in the textile, coal, iron, shipping and other great indus- tries, in the parliamentary committees sit ting even now to inquire into the condition of the unemployed, and with eagriculture gricvously affected and in many districts well nigh ruined in addition, it may be well for your memorialists to rememb: that it is on the welfare of her commerce and her indus- tries even more than on'her banking inter- ests that the prosperity of the country and its people ultimately depends. We observe that they affirm that they (the monometallic memorialists) were not concerned to offer an opinion as long as It was proposed to ap- ply the bimetallic prineiple to forelgn nations only. “We believe that the effect of re-establish- ing bimetallism would be the same with or without our concurrence ‘sith other nations, but in view of the vasthess of our commerce, of the burden of indebednéds which is borne by our colonies and Infa, and the fact that we have two different sy#fems of currency within the empire at greséiit, we think that no people. in the world #§ more interested in this subject than,oursélves and that we ought to heartily coropératé with foreign na- tions in an endeavor te achieve it. The ex- perience of history, the ‘tedchings of science and the conclusions, of afithbrity expressed In the unanimous repert of the gold and silver commission, unite in suppbrting the opinion that under the operatfom of this system the relative value of the metads was successtully maintained and that undérahy condition to be reasonably anticipated $imiifr results must be expected in the future. The'Fecent statements on behalf the French goverfment, the resolu- tions of the German Relchstag and state council, as well as of both houses of the Prus- sian Diet, and the emphatie declarations of the government of tHe United.States in favor of international bimetailism are proof of a desire on the part of France, Germany and the United States to joln with the United Kingdom in a sertous to accom- plish this great end.” The memorial is slgnéd by Mr. Gibbs, for- mer governor and present director of the Bank of England, and by thousands of other names, the most important of which have al- all the business then having regard which we have ven- to endeavor ready been cabled the World as in favor of the bimetallist movement, BALLARD SMITH. —e m.

BERLIN, June 22—Public interest, might be expected, has been monopolized dur- ing the past week with the festivities at Hamburg and at Kiel, upon the occasion of the opening of the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, and Berlin has been deserted by nearly all the prominent men. The newspapers have devoted pages every day to the canal celebrations and every- thing done and said has been liberally com- mented upon. Emperor William's speech at the Hamburg banquet was enthusiastically tecelved here, and the stress laid by him on as the peaceful significance of the event caused general pleasure. So has the fact that a most amicable entente seemed to exist be- tween the emperor and all the German sov- ereigns, At the Hamburg banquet the em- peror, the moment the king of Bavaria rose to speak, poured wine into the latter's glass, and his cordial attentions to the king of Saxony were favorably noticed. His ma- Jesty's peaceful utterances have also been very well received in Austria, A dispatzh from Vienna states Dumba, reporter of the budget speaking to the Austrian delegation referred to the speeches of the emperor, ing: “These assurances of peace by our au- gust ally find a mighty echo in Austria, which is in perfect harmony with these words of peace. The creation of such a work of peace as the Baltic canal is proof that both states and people nowadays are engaging in a widely different struggle, and that the compe- tition in the world's trade Is now purely confined to the domain of economy.” Emperor Willlam took two of the leading marine painters, Herren Boherdt and Saltz- mann, with him to the opening of the canal and indicated to them during his four days' stay the best moments and occasions for sketches. They will execute a series of paintings representing _the most striking views of the ceremonfes, which paintings will be presented to the National gallery. that Herr committee, to say GUARDED BY DETECTIVES. During the fetes a corps of picked de- tectives of this city surrounded the em- peror night and day. These precautions wers taken on account of the fact that threaten- ing letters from anonymous anarchists and others reached hie majesty during the pre- vious fortnight. Some of these letters came from France, and the writers threatened the emperor with death. A score of more or less suspicious-looking persons were arrested by the detectives. Among these were two Frenchmen' #fid a Russian. The naval correspondents of the German and Austrian newspapers have highly com- mended the appearance of the United States war vessels and crews. They praised the ease of motion and exactness of their ma- neuvers, according them first place in this respect. They style the New York the finest vessel of her kind ever at Kiel. The Amer- fcan warships also aroused moro curiosity than all the others, and they were visited by thousands of people. The officers of the United States squadron showed wonderful good nature in welcoming every one and in trying to talk German. The German visit- ors were considerably puzzled by the fact that the Marblehead and others of the Amer- ican squadron had negro stewards and ne- groes among the crew. In this connection the critical comparison of the various warships at Kiel, made by an English naval expert now there, is espe- cially interesting. Omitting the British fleet from comparison, in order to avoid a semblance of partiality, he expressed the opinion, after taking careful notice, that in respect to value and efficiency the various crews might be placed In the following order: RANKING OF THE CRE 1, the Germans; 2, the French; 3, th: Amer- lcans; 4, the Austrians; b, the Russians; 6, the Italian the Swedes; 8, the Duteh; 9 the Danes; 10, the Roumanians; 11, the Por- tuguese; 12, the Spanish. fl Tae French squadron, he says, containing the flower of the French navy, made an ex- cellent and impressive show. The men were neat and smart and the boat's crews excited gegeral admiration. But the ships, especially the hideous fronclad Hoche, flagship of the French squadron, are unfavorably criticised All of the French vessels carry so much top hamper that in the event of the latter being shot during an action, it would fall and di able the guns beneath, A German offic commenting on the French squadron, said that both, the French ships and the French people were a trifie extravagant and exag- gerated. The Russian ships have the same defect of too muoh top hamper, although in a_lesser degree than the French ships, while the per- sonnel of the Russlan vessels was pro- nounced far inferior to that of the French. As to the Itallan squadron, the ships were pronounced to be good and thelr officers effi- cient. The boats were well kept and the men looked clean and well dressed. Yet, it was added that the Italian ships inspired no confidence as fighting machines, the prevail- nig opinfon among the naval men at Kiel being that they would prefer ‘o be without the active help of the Itallan fleet In times of a crisis than with it, as the men, who are the most important fighting element, do not glve the expert critics the impression that they are likely to possess all the coolness and method necessary for the proper work- ing of the ship's guns in time of need. Among Emperor William's speclal guests at Kiel were Lord Lonsdale and Mr. Poultney Bigelow. The latter went to Kiel in his canoe from this city in five days, salling or paddling and sleeping in the canoe or on ges down the Havel, FAVOR A MONETARY CONFERENCE.

The opposing sixteen members come from the three South German states and the Hansa towns of Hamburg, Bremen and Lubeck, while Prussia, Saxony and the middle etates favor the calling of a monetary conference. The only point still unsettled ts as to what extent Germany, in calling the conference, is to engage herself— whether she is to state the purpose as belng the uitimate restoration of bimetallism or only to fix a new ratio between gold and silver, The German Military correspondenc semi-official organ, states that Emperor Wil- liam, basing his opinfon upon the large num ber of tests made in the Bornstedt maneuvers held this spring, has expressed himself to the effect that the German cavalry will still have a decisive influence in the fate of a battle Under advantageous circumstances, large bodies of cavalry broke up large bodies of Infantry without, in the estimation of the Judges, sustaining too great a loss in €o doing. During the big autumn maneuvers these cav- alry tes's will be repeated upon a larger scale, The emperor took a characteristic trip to Munich, Bavaria, on Monday last, in order to determine upon the site and the necessary arrangements for the building of the new Schack gallery of pictures, ete, which he has presented to that city. Count Adolphe Frederick von Schack, the millionaire author, died on April 16, 1894, and bequeathed his large picture gallery to Emperor Willlam with the stipulation that it be added to the Berlin museum. But the emperor decided that the gallery should remain at Munich, as that city was proud of it and its removal would have fostered anti-imperial tendencies In the south German states. The people of Munich were €o delighted with the action of the emperor that they have decided to place a statue of his majesty in the famous gallery with the wording of the telegram conveying his determination to the Munich authorities inscribed on the pedestal. VISIT WAS UNEXPECTED. His majesty’s visit was quite unexpected and consequently there was nobody at the rallvay station to meet him.
