NEW YORK, Aug. 31.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—"1 think,” sald Prince Bismarck to the German-Americans who visited him at Friedrichsruh on Friday, “there will always be friendship between your great republic of states and the German empire.” There Is a great deal of meaning for us Americans in that remark. It ought to set us thinking a Jittle about our foreign policy. Prince Bis- marck 1s admittedly the greatest master of forlgn affairs and the highest authority on International relations now living. He is the toremost statesman of Europe, incomparably the most experienced and capable of them all. It is no light thing when such & man makes such a declaration and holds out his hand across the Atlantic. He is out of of- fice, 1t is true, and will never be in office again, but he has an authority In Germany and throughout Europe such as no other man possesses. It s not the less because it 18 only moral and intellectual, for moral and intellectual forces are those which govern the world. We are to remember, moreover, that Prince Bismarck’s friendship to us is of oil d 8o Is Germany's, or, at any rate, Prussia’s, 1t was Prussia, undfr Frederick the Great, who, first of all European powers, recog nized the independence of the United State It was Prince Bismarck who, when the old King William asked him whether he should accept the third Napoleon's proposal to rce aize the southern confederacy, answera Friendship with the United States is the traaition of Prussia since Frederick's time. Why should we change it at the bidding of a French emperor?’ He did us at that time a great service. I am not sure whether his declaration of Iriday might not be equally a benefit to us, if it us thinking, as I sald, about our connections and policy In Burope. FRANCE IS NOT FRIENDLY, We are disposed, or many of us are, to single cut France as the continental power most friendly to us, or, rather, to which we are the most friendly. Why? We might pause long before we could give a sufficicnt answer. So far as we have a reason, it is sentimental. France helped us handsomely in the revolutionary war against Great Erit- ain, no doubt, but what natlon adjuste its policy today out of gratitude for the cvents of more than a hundred years ago? Not one, France does not. The affection between France and the United States is one-sided It is on our side, and not on hers. The French do not like us. The French press, when It notices America, notices it as a rule in a tone of contempt or indifference. The French government conducts its affairs with us on strictly business principles—witness Mexico, witness the great pork question and other economical questions, and witness the Waller question today. Witness Panama and many another incident, greater or lesser, of recent times, and witness, especlally, the resentment of the French at our neutrality in 1870. The fact that we are a republic and that France is a republic counts for Little with her, though much with us. A republic does not mean fo them what it means to us. TRUEST OF ALL TESTS, If we look at home, how many French fellow cltizens have we? The total immi- gration from France between 1521 and 1890 is less than 400,000. The Immigration from Germany during those seventy years Is more than four millions and a half. More than twelve times as many Germans as Frenchmen have sought a home in this country. There we come to the real point. There is one of the great ties between America and Germany, and one of the truest and strongest reasons why a sclid friendship between the great Ger- man empire and the great American repub- lic is of moment to both. The German-American veterans who went to Germany on a visit to their old home are &0 many ambassadors from their new home to their old. “I hope,” said Prince Bismarck to these gallant Germans, “you will never forget in your new country your old native German country. I give three cheers for the United States and the German empire.” Those cheers echo across the Atlantic. There Is not a German who does not feel that the two nations, German and American, are the closer for what has happened in Friedrichsrub. The Germans in America we all know as good Americans, good citizens, men who came here not to camp on a foreign soil or to use our country as a base of hostilities against another, but to become an integral and loyal part of the American people. Our ideas are theirs. They have the same con- ceptions of political life and the same de- votion to the flag. There is a communily of interests between them and the native born Americans, Oue of those Interests is friend- ship with Germany, and {f we want another reason it is that Germany stands pre-emi- vently for war. Do we want war or peace? It, as I believe, peace, we shall strengthen the cause of peace, not of course by quarrel- ing with Frauce, for which there is no oc- casion, but by a closer friendship with Ger- many and a more complete recognition of her stounch fricndship for the United States. AS SHOWN IN WALLER'S CASK The Waller caso has made little progress since last week. The French government lowed our ambassador, acting reluct- nder the strongest pressure from the State department, to send two delegates to visit Mr. Waller in prison. Mr. Eustis seems to have found courage to ask that a chair and a table might be allowed Mr. Waller in Ny cell. That Is as far as we have got, Mesntime fuller norratives of the whole care lave appeared in ous papers, and they strengthen the bellef that Mr. Waller's treatment by the usurping French suthorlties fa Madagascar was abomivably unjust and cruel. What, mevertheless, do we read in a Paris paper? - L'Bstafette suggests that Mr, Waller ought to have been shot for s glar- ing treachery. Treactery to whom? He owed no alleglance or faith to the French. is owr v This paper Is the organ of an fmportant sec- tion of French republicans, and it advises that the protest of the American government in behaif of an American citizen be dismissed as an idle complaint. So much for French friendship, where French interests or passions or vanity are concerned. There are the materfals for a very inter- esting Incldent In the charges of General Mennler, printed in the Figaro of Paris, and in the answer they have elicited in Germany. General Mennler accuses German officers of theft in the Franco-German war. The Ger- man emperor, when shown the statement, called him_a “cowardly lar.” The matter has bees™aken up by a committee of Ger- man generals, who propose to ask the French- man for proof of his statements. The for- eign office of Berlin takes a hand also and is inquiring whether General Mennier is on the active list of the French army. If he is, and it he does not make good his accusations, the French government will have to choose be- tween dismissing him and facing the wrath of Berlin, SITUATION IN CHINA The news that four Chinese have been exe- cuted for complicity in the massacres of Ku Cheng may mean much or little, If the men executed were tha real criminals the execu- tion will have a wholesome effect. If, as often happens in China, they were simply four ruffians who were put to death to screen the guilty, the prospect of another massacre 13 as bright as ever. It is, however, probable that the Chinese are alarmed and that for the present the lives of foreigners are safer than they have been since the war with Japan. What our minister, Mr. Denby, is doing, or what share he has In the pressure put upon China, is still disputed. The meaning of Li Hung Chang's appoint- ment as imperial chancellor is not clear. The place Is a new one. It may be decorative. It may carry with it a delegation of real au- thority. That Li is the ablest man in China has long been agreed. No younger man of high promise has been heard of, and of some strong men China is in urgent need if she is not to go to pleces. The last time Li wa ordered to Peking he said he would go, but, as a mark of respect to the emperor, would take his army with him. He was allowed to post- pone that visit. Between Li and the tsung 1t yamen there remains, so far as is knoyn, the old hostility. SIAM CAUSES A STRAIN. The strain on Agglo-French relations in Siam continues. Lord Salisbury said in the House of Lords on Friday that the negotia- tions on the very delicate question of the Mekong were being conducted in a friendly spirit. No doubt, but it would be more to the purpose if he were able to say that there was a prospect of agreement as to the dis- puted territory. The French and English claims are simply irreconcilable. The general French policy 1s to accumulate grievances and to settle none till England to include Eeypt in the settl:ment. In that France has the help of some of the little English radicals. One of them, a Scotch doctor, raised the Egyptian question this week in the House of Commons. Mr. Curzon, who answers in the House for the forelgn office, of which he is under secre- tary, declined to discuss Egypt. Sir Charles Dilke, who on this and some other quess tions Is more French than English, declared that England is bound in honor to evacuate Egypt. The word “honor in Sir Charles Dilke's mouth is strangely misplaced. It is not the fact that England is or ever was under any pledge to evacuate Egypt, except under circumstances and on conditions not et fulfill:d. HEALY 1S THE FEATURE. Tho session of Parliament drags. Every- body wants to get away except the Irish na- tionalists. They are never so happy as when baiting the Saxon, and they are baiting him now. Mr, Healy has taken charge of the Irish party, with Dr. Tanner, who is some- times sober, as his lieutenant. A policy of systematic cbstruction seems to have been once more adopted. “Suspend us all,” cried Mr. Healy when Dr. Tanner was called to order for disobeying the chair. The palr kept the House sitting till § o'clock this morning. This may be taken as a prelim- inary to Mr. Healy's new policy of repeal. He Is reported as convinced that home rule is impracticable and that the sole redress for Ireland lies in the repeal of the union. It he will stick to that and preach it openly and Ireland follows him he will keep the unionists in power during his lifetime. GEORGE W. SMALLEY. agrees THEIR HOPE LIES IN AMERICA, fnn Not Dispoxed to Give Perse- cuted Christians Much Rellef. (Copyrighted, 1895, by Press Publishing Company.) FOO CHOW, China, Aug. 31.—(New York World CabJe—Special Telegram.)—The com- mission of inquiry into the Hwasang massa- cre sitting at Ku Cheng progresses slowly. Over 100 arrests have been made and there have been twelve capital punishments. The viceroy retards the work, refusing to give the prefect discretion. There Is a day's delay over each question referred to the viceroy. The Intention is to exhaust the pa- tience of the commission. At the present rate the trials will require a year. The imperial ediet issued commanding severe measures is a mere blind, Rioters at Hok- chiang attacked the Christians, wounded four and destroyed several houses. The dangerous situation is the fault of the magistrate, who issued a proclamation slandering the Chris- tlans. Unless America can induced to take vigorous measures it Is feared that there will be general rioting. British weak- ness encourages the Clinese. The American government is the oniy hope. Consul Hixson is energetic. The Chinese government Is torpld unless prodded.

BERLIN, Aug. 31.—Sedan day will be cel- ebrated In a more general and enthusiastic manner than it has in any year since 1870. No business will be done after noon on Mon- day. The Siemens & Halske people will pay thelr 5,000 workmen double wages on that day and will let them enjoy themselves. Many other firms will do Ifkewise. The gov- ernment employes will get their holiday with full pay and all the schools will be closed. The celebrations will commence with a very Impressive ceremony, the dedication of the Emperor Willlam memorial church. A platform, capable of seating 5,000, is being erected for the accommodation of the fa- vored guests. The emperor and empress will arrive at the spot at 10 o'clock, escorted by a detachment of cuirassfers of the guard, and will be handed the golden key of the church by a deputation when their majesties reach the inside of the building. Hymns will be sung and a patriotic sermon will be preached and when their majesties leave the bands will play the “Wacht am Rhein.” A cordon of troops and veterans, including the Ger- man-American veterans who are now visiting this city, will surround the church and will be received by the emperor. It is noteworthy that not only the Protestant, but the Roman Catholic churches, will have special Sedan day services tomorrow. On Monday the fetes will be inaugurated by a parade held by the emperor of the Temple-Hauft field. There will be a bril- liant display of troops, and the king of Sax- ony and Wurtemburg will be present. The veterans will be out in strong force, and a line of 31,000 school children with banners will be drawn up near the schloss, where the emperor will pass on returning to the city with his retinue of colors, banners, ete During the early morning a patriotic festival will be held in the various public schools A gala performance will be given on Sunday evening, Including a ballet militaire composed twenty-five years ago to greet Emperor Wil- lilam on his return from the war, and the patriotic drama, “1812,” will be performed at the Schauspiel Haus by order of the emperor. The Berlin turner societies have arranged a series of games and popular sports for the afternoon of Sunday on the Templehof field AMERICAN COLONY WILL BE THERE. The American cclony will be present at the parade on Monday, and there will be illum- inations upon a splendid scale in the even- ing. The mayor of Berlin has invited the whole population to join in the illuminations. The two central points of this night displ of lights will be the schloss and the Reichs- & buildings. The emperor has given 50,000 marks out of his own purse for the illuminations of the schloss. Every window of that huge pile will be aglow, in addition to magnificent electrical effects from the cupola, balconies and portals. The city pays for the illumina- tions of the public buildings, parks and squares, and every business firm is doing something In the same line. Almost every bullding will fly flags, and all the other big citles will be decorated and illuminated upon a simflar scale, especlally the Dresden, where the main fetes will be Leld on Sunday. A big celebration will be held at the Nieder- wald monument. A torpedo boat has as- cended the Rhine to the foot of the monu- ment in order to carry the imperial flag there. “onsiderable apprehension has been felt at the fact that the soclalists of Berlin and clse- where are arranging a counter demonstra- tlon. On Monday six meetings of the social- ists have baen called by Herren Bebel, Lieb- knecht, Singer, Aur and other leaders to pro- test-against the commemorations of the vie- tories of 1870. A large batch of police and detectives has been ordered to Stettin and its vicinity in anticipation of trouble. Upon the occasion of the imperial maneu- vers, from September 5 to 1 which Em- peror William, Emperor Francis Joseph, the Kkirg of Saxony and the crowsi'prives of Naples will be present, the French officers will not appear, and the French ambassador at Berlin, M. Herbette, will leave this city during the Sedan fetes. MAYE! 1S THE LOSER. The emperor, upon the occasion of a recent review of troops at Mayeuce, s reported to have sald to his officers )0 mot forget that we must be strong in order to maintain peace, and the stronger we are the more respect others will have for us.” incidentally it may be noted that although the emperor has been near Mayence repeatedly, he has never entered the city proper, and the fol- lowing curious explanation is given for this: On the wall of Mayence cathedral Is a sculptured hand, raised as if taking an oath. When Emperor Francis of Austria was still a German emperor he visited Mayence and was 50 hospitably received by the clergy that he solemnly promised and vowed that the next German emperor who visited Mayence must pay for the privilege by bullding twe towers to the cathédral, and as a sign of this promise the hand referred to was carved in stone, and no German emperor has since | visited Mayence, The Roman Catholic corgress which was held at Munich during the past week has done nothing extraordinary. There was a large attendance and resolutions were adopted in favor of the restoration of the temporal power of the pope, the abolition of dueling, for \he furtherauge of temperance, and for the stricter observance of Sunday. In Hesse, the villages of Berken, Freuden thal, Giestoff and Vdenhausen have had their entire crops destroyed by a cycle At Homburg the Amerlcan visitors seem to lead a social life. The brilliant cotillion at the Kursaal on Thursday last was organ- ized by Americany. Mrs. Griswold and Mrs. Young. Dinners were given previously on | the terrace of the Kursaal and one of the tables was occupled by the prince of Wales and a large party. At the next table were Mrs. John W. Mackay, Mr. and Mrs. M. H, De Young and Mr. and Mrs, John B. Davis. Quite a sensation ha betn caused at Hom- burg by the attention which the prince of Wales has paid to a young American widow, Mrs. Roach, nee Colt, a beautiful lady bic clist, who has been seen a great deal In Battersea park, Londom. The prince has frequently taken her to tea and walks with her at the wells. He took her to Frankfurt opera yesterday. Nellle Neustrader, with her child, has been here for some weeks, wearing most handsome dresses and mantles. The duke of Cambridge took a great deal of notice of her, Minnie Kraeffs of Chicago has made a great success In the role of Rosina in the “Barber of Saville” at the Royal opera. B DE IN LONDON SOCIETY. Only Ripple € Rush f Ame (Copyrighted by the Assoclated Press, LONDON, Aug. 31.—This week the low- est point of the year so fas as soclal gather- ings and amusements are concerned has un- doubtedly been reached. The houses of fashionable fork everywhere are shut up and even the rider track at Rotten Row, famous for its equestrians, has been closed on count of the expemsive repairs now being made. The weather has been bright and warm, however, and this has lent something of a charm to the week, especially in_the country and at the seaside resorts. The hotels in town are filling up, but this s due to the presence of American travelers now enroute for home. The difficulties in securing a passage on any of the ocean steamships to America increases, Some venturesome Ameri cans who boarded the steamer St. Louis with handbags resolved to take their chances and concealed themselves on board the boat until ghe had left the dock. They were discovered when oft the Needles and despite their en- treaties were sent back with the pilot. They arrived at Southampton last Monday. Today’ steamer was packed to the rails with home- ward bound passengers. The English papers, which have alway: objected to what they style “American pe sonal journalism,” this week descended from their heights of criticism and contented themselves with pubiishing long detafted ac- counts of what the prince of Wales eats and drinks on public occaslons, According to the authorities cited by the papers, the prince has always been a moderate eater. He invariably requests that the dinner shall not be prolonged more than an heur and never permits more than three toa Special dishes are always provided for the prince, who “Invariably brings two bottles of his champagne and rarely samples the wine pro- vided for the other guests.” The prince of Wales, according to the same awthority, also brings a case of his own cigars with him. These cigars are very large and are manu- factured for his own private use from the very best tobacto grown in Cuba.

Johnston, the' authoress of the poem, “The White Wanipum,” which has just been published by John Lane, has re- cently made her debut in London society as a reader and reciter. She s an Indian, the daughter of the late Chief Johnston, the head of the Mohawks, and this fact has invested her with a halo of romance which has been of immense advantage in London drawing rooms. Nellie Farren, who is so well remembered with Fred Leslie in the days of the old| Galety, has, since her last American tour, been suffering from a partial stroke of par- alysis. Her health is, however, much im- proved, and it is not unlikely that she may soon return to the stage. Rumor is steadily assigning to Sir Philip Curry the forthcoming vacancy to be caused by Sir Edward Mallet's retirement from the Berlin embassy. Sir Philip was appointed by Mr. Gladstone to fill the diplomatic va- cancy at Constantinople. The assignment en- abled him to enjoy a salary of £8,000 a year, the use of two palaces in Constantinople, a steam launch and a magnificent ten-oared boat, all of which are malntained by the government. The steamer Fuerst Bismarck made the fastest run of the arriving at The Necedles Thursday afterneén, a trip of six days, ten hours and fifty-five minutes, in- cluding touching Cherboutg. The passengers had a ple voyage. On the other hand the steamship New York had a rough weather trip and heavy seas for two days after her departure from New York, which made it very disagreeable. One of the passengers in the second cabin was tbrgwn down, break- ing one of his legs. One of the saloon pas sengers was also badly injured, sustaining a fracture of the skull. Acother of the pas- season, sant John B, Davis gave the dance, and Mr. Clar- ence Mackay led the cotillion with Miss Gray. Those present iucluded: Mrs. John W.

The reception of the new lord-lieutenant forms a marked contrast to the merciless boycott in a soclal sense of the former lord-lieutenant, Lord Houghton The latter was a young widower and im- mensely wealthy after the death of his uncle, Lord Crewe. He was connected with any of the leading families in England and Ireland, was of irreproachable private char- acter and had considerable native abilit The only reason given for the bitter social attacks made upon him was because he represented a liberal government, his official functions in Dublin castle being displeasing to the aristocracy of the island. “The recep- tion tendered Earl Cadogan and the arrival of hosts of sportsmen from ail parts of the kingdom for the purpose of attending the horse show, has had a pleasing effect upon soclety and a gay season may be expected in Dublin. Dublin has been crowded during the past week with many prominent persons in at- tendance upcn the horse show. The weather has been ‘briliiant, and the Irish metropolis has never been secen to better advantage. And never has the success of the horse show been so pronounced. Many wealthy persons, desirious of purchasing blooded horses, were present at the horse show, some of them from the American continent. Earl Cadogan had a large party at Dublin castle each day of the fair. Among those present during the afternoons and evenings at the recep- tions given in Dublin castle were Lord Wil- liam Beresford and his wife, formerly duch- s of Marlborough. Each duy the vice regal party drove to the yards of the horse show in state. The handsome carriage, the showy livery and the gorgeous decorations of the outriders attracted universal admiration, and the party was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm along the route. At the horse show the jumping competitions over a course consisting of ditches, a bank, a four- foot stone wall, double bank, water and four- foot hurdles, were never surpassed here. These contests excited the admiration of sional horsemen, as well as the titled lords and ladies of the aristocracy, and it is safe to say that the Dublin horse show has become more firmly fixed as a soclal and equestrian feature than ever before. Gladstone continues in the best of heslth, showing unususl activity even for him.- He spent most of the week visiting Lord Nor- ton at the latter's historical seat, Hafe hall, near Birmingham. This seat of Lord Norton is full of art treasures and curfosi- tles, In connection with the literary and ar- tistic features of this visit shopld be men- tioned a soclal function, a house party. In attendance upon this occasion were the arch- bighop of Canterbury, Viscount Peel and the bishop of Rochester. On Thursday, the party drove to visit “Bobby,” now Sir Réb- ert Peel, whose recent visit to America will be remembered by all newspaper readers, and whom Mr. Gladstone has shown such a fatherly interest fn since he returned to England. Mr. Gladstone remained until late In the afternoon, and upon departing wrote in the visitor's book a statement to the effect that it had been a day of the utmost interest and delight, and that he would never forget the occasion of his visit to Brayton after an interval of sixty years.

The World quoted a charge made by the Yachtsman that the races wore rushoed to place Valkyrie at a disadvantage. The New York correspondent of the Times re- pelled this accusation, stating that the date of the first race was fixed by Dunraven hime self, but the Yachtsman this week repeats the charge and indulges in several othep aspersions on American sportsmanship, among other things that Vigilant *trailed her coat talls In an aggravating manner under the nose of the British champion, whoso skippers were too wary to give a res hearsal for the benefit of the New York bookmakers. Vigilant's attempt to draw Val= kyrle would in England be called rather bad form." The 1 re Field discredits Captain Haff conceal of Defender, declarini only be pursu:d with and adds: “A great deal of fuss has been made by the American press because Dunraven's repres sentative asked the measurer of th: New York Yacht club to make an unofficial mease urement of the Valkyrie's water line for the designers’ information. The request was refused. Why we cannot understand. Some of the remarks of the American press on the incident are simply idiotic. Any person who knows how to use a meaguring rod, tap> and plumb line could have tested the length as well as the official measurer and the result would have been the same in value to the designer. In this country, when no prize fa in dispute or any way dependent on the re sults of measurement, measurers often make experimental measurement to oblige owners, and no one ever suggested anything unfair ia h a courteous proceeding. NOT SO CERTAIN OF SUCCESS. The declsive success of Defender In the trials, especlally in view of the belic that Captain Haff did not try Defender at her best, has shaken the confidence hitherto re= posed in Valkyrie by the best informed Brite ish yacthsmen. At the same time thcy are disposed to take a different view from American experts on the significance of the foaming wake left by Valkyrle, which they regard as Indicating more the high speed of the challenger than any undue resistance offered by her bows to the water. The prevas lent opinion here now is that the result of the cup contests is very doubtful, qualified by the fear that American yachting suprems acy may prove invincible. Should Dune raven's pluck and perseverance be res warded, he will be the hero of the hour and will be entertained on his return by a publio banquet by British yachtsmen, at which It is hoped the prince of Wales may presides This may seem somewhat prematiro, but tho feasibility in the event of the vic.ory of Valkyrie in securing a representativs gaths ering of yachtsmen in London In October to honor Dunraven has been canvasscl this week in the smoke room of the Royal Yach§ squadron at Cowes.
