SPANIARDSSPLUTTER Press of Madrid Chewing Soap Over the Allianca Matter, SPAIN'S OBLIGATION TO AMERICA Strict Noutrality of the United States in the Cuban Affair, SALISBURY AND THE SULKY SULTAN Armenian Diffioulty Must Be Adjusted by Turkey Very Soon, VIGNAUD'S TALK IN PARIS CRITICISED Seeretary of the Amerfcan Eu Does Hix Government n Great Injustfce in Referring to the Waller Case. nesy WRW YORK, Sept. 7.—(Special Telegram.) —A batch of so-called revelations about the Allianca- appears in the Madrid papers. The author of them is said to be Count Hobkirk, a French count. They deserve no attention. Spain has admitted that her cruiser was wrong In firing at this American ship and the question cannot be reopened on the authority of an alleged Interview with an allezed count, who was an alleged passenger on the Al- llanca. What does deserve a moment's atten- tion is the statement that the Spanish press, in its Indignation at these stories, Is attack- ing the United States government. The Spanish press has an immenze capacity for fndignation. The papers of Madrid are among the most excitable in Burope, and that is saying a good deal. They would do well, nevertheless, to bot- tlo their wrath and to take a reef in that vainglorious Spanish pride which has been the cause of so many humiliat'ons to the Span- 1sh people. They know very we'l that Spain 1s under deep obligations to the United States government, with respect to Cuba. Presi- dent Cleveland and his secretary of state have interpreted the obligations of ncutrality with strictness. They have enforced the law. They have done their whole interna- tional duty. I am very far from meining to criticise or reproach them. I do not see how It was possible for a government honor- ably to act otherwise, The sympathies of Mr. Cleveland may be all on the side of a free Cuba. I do not know whether they are or not, but even if they are, the president has no right to give effect to the sympathies of Mr. Cleveland. He has sworn to do his duty as president and his duty is plain, GOOD TIME TO BEHAVE. He must enforce the neutrality of the United States. That is what he has done, neither more nor less. There has not been, s0 far as the public knows, a single official complaint from Madrid against any act of omission or commission at Washington, since he Issue of the president's proclamation of neutrality. Therefore it is that these decla- mations of the irrepressible press of Madrid are not merely vain, but foolish. They are a direct provocation to America. They cannot reach the government nor Influence its con- duct. They might possibly create a resent- ment among the American people strong enough to make the task of neutrality more difficult than it is now to the authorities at Washington. The effect of any strong popu- lar outburst would not be to mitigate the dutles of neutrality, but to force us to con- sider how long we could remain neutral. If the Madrid papers think it well to raise that question, they can go on with their attacks. 1t they do not, they will cease them as soon as their Spanish blood cools below, fever heat It ought not to take long. Muttered prolests against German cele- brations of German victories have been heard this week; not from the French only, but from those of other nations, who think it all policy in the Ger- mans to exasperate their vunquished enemies. These well meaning friends of peace forget one thing. The exultation over Sedan may, indeed, revive bitter memorles in beaten France, but it also perpetuates and strength- ens the sentiment of German unity. Ger- many, as we know it, is but just of age. German cmpire and German independence are twenty-four years ald—no more. The empire is an amalgam of states and principalities and peoples who have bardly vet learned to regard thomselves as indissoluble. That Is why It is for the Interest of Europe, which necds a strong Germany, that the war cry of Sedan should year by year still ring in German and European ears, SALISBURY AND ARMENIA. The Armenian question is no mearer set- tlement than it was a week ago, except by mero efux of time. Tho sensational story that Lord Salisbury had told the Turkish am- bassador In London that Turkey must yield or be dismembered was an invention which imposed on nobody who knows how diplo- matic business is done. That Lord Salisbury used plain language to the astute Armenian, for Rustem Pacha is an Armenian, who rep- resents Turkey in England, may be taken ited. He will probably have to use 1g beside language beforo ho carries his point, unless he means to wait till the Turks have had time to kill 2ll the Ar- menians and cnd the controversy in that way. That, or any approach to that, would be to the cyerlasting disgrace of England, and Lord Sallsbury, we may be sure, does not mean it to happen. He knows porfectly well that the policy of the sultan is a policy of deliberate extermination. The Armenian Christians are, in his view, bad subjects, be- causo they are not Mohammedans. He wants to get rid of them because they are not Mchammedaus. It any of them turn Mo- hammedan they escepe persecution. That is the decisive fact. Lord Salisbury is him- self a master of all these questions, He knows the Turk, knows Constantinople, knows the methods of Turkey with her own subjects and with forelgn powers. I ho did not he has his ambassador at Constantinople to tell him. Sir Philip Currle is a very able diplo- matist aud very much in earnest ln this matter, He will not Le hoodwinked. The latest demand of tho Porto that the European powers should all join in coerclng Turkey s purcly dilatery. It England, France and Ruszla are not enough Lo reduce the Turk to order, why shewld Austria, Germany snd Italy be more successful? It might eave tho sultan’s dignity a little to yleld to six powers Instead of three, but the sultan’s dignity is not just now gn objeot of gegeral solicitudo in Burcpe. Ho will bay give way or soniething wiil bresk. | VIONAUD'S BAD BREAK. Me. Rustis will not be sauch helped by Mr. Vignaud's statement to the Paris Matin about the Waller case. Mr. Vignaud is first soc: tary to the Awerican ewbassy ln Parls, and 2 oficiel of long experience. But he ought not to have allowed himself to be Interviewed, and If he did, he ought not to have made a statement, the effect of which Is to Injure the case of his own government. “Everything that has been written on the subject Is false,” says Mr. Vignaud. That I8 too sweeping a statement to be diplomatic. “There Is no disagreement between us and the French government,” he asserts, It would be difficult to put our government in a worse light than by insisting that we have no complaint agalnst the French authorities for their treatment of Mr. Waller. Mr. Vignaud does not deny that every difficuity was thrown in the way of our in- quiries, nor that the French foreign minister or somebody under him, first refused to pro- ducs the record of the Madagascar court martial, and only promised it after long delays, which “accidents” have made longer. He does not deny that Mr. Waller is In prison, and that leave to communicate with him or visit him was long withheld. It is plain that Mr. Waller has been treated harshly, and that the efforts of our govern- ment to find out how and why he was con- victed have thus far been baffled. That is quite sufficient—at least I hope it ls—to cause a “disagreement” betwee: us and the French government. When Mr. Vignaud says that political passions here have en- venomed this matter at home, he says what may be true of some journals, but certainly not of the majority. Democrats as well as republicans resent injustice to an American citizen by a European power. They have Joined in the demand that Mr. Eustis should be made to do his duty. So has the inde- pendent press. There are no parties in in- ternational politics—at any rate there ought to be none. We are all Americans. Even Mr. Eustis is an American, and we all'mean to know whether Mr. Waller s innocent, and it he is, to get him out of prison and get redress for his wrongs. ENGLAND'S FOREIGN RELATIONS. The adjournment of the British Parliament leaves the ministry a free hand in both do- mestic and foreign policles. Lest it be sup- posed that Lord Salisbury arranged this pe- riod of freedom®as a means of overning in an arbitrary spirit, I will repeat that the situation is precisely that which Mr. Glad- stone arranged, or in which he found him- self In 1892, Neither he nor Lord Salisbury arranged it, or could arrange it, and Mr. Gladstone has always been a more masterful and despotic minister than Lord Salisbury, Forelgn affairs, moreover, belong primarily to the foreign minister, and not to the House, and a treaty, unlike a treaty here, Is a complete and binding engagement without anybody's ratification. The House of Com- mons has nothing to do with treaty making, nor the House of Lords, and for the House of Commons to refuse to vote money in exe- cution of a treaty would be held an act of bad faith. It is never done. Lord Salisbury has questions enough on hand without hay- ing to consider what a radical opposition may think or say about them. It is a pity he has not one more, but he signed away, when last in power, his right to interfere for the protection of Madagascar, and Great Britaln has to look on silently while France bucan- cers to her heart's content in that important tsland. : Elsewhere, Armenia excepted, things are simmering. The Balkans are quiet. Siam is in the hands of the diplomatists. The Ger- man flurry s over for the moment, and the fingo press of Berlin has fired blank volleys till it s tired, and all to no purpose. The coolness of the English under foreign provo- cation is proverblal and f{s one of their strong points. The great journals of London republish the tirades of the German and French papers, or the substance of them, sometimes reply to them and sometimes not, keep their temper as a rule, and invariably forget all about the matter tremely short time. DOMESTIC ENGLAND PROSPERS, In English domestic affairs the defeat of the new unionists isgthe most notable event. The socialists, who, under Mr. John Burns nd Mr. Keir Hardie, last year captured the trades union congress, have this year been beaten. It Is one more rebuff for mere social- ism, the future of which in England looks darker than ever, and the future of England herself brighter in proportion, I need not dwell on the newest Irish wrangles. Mr. Healy seems likely to elbow Mr. McCarthy out of the leadership and then to force upon the Irish nationalists a more militant policy than mild Mr. McCarthy fa- vored. The more militant it is, the more cer- tain 1s its failure. GEORGE W. SMALLEY. BALFOUR ON BI within an ex- CTALLISM, Writes to Explain Some Parts of His Recent Statement on the Questic LONDON, Sept. 7.—Rt. Hon. A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury, writes under date of September 4 as follows: “With reference to recent declarations in the House of Commons, I do not know why persons Interested should be perplexed over my supposed change of attitude on the ques- tion of international bimetallism, for no such change has occurred. My answer, which has glven rise to so much unnecessary discussion, explicitly stated the opinions which I have long held and which I thought all bimetallists held also. My answer was textually as fol- low Mr. Balfour then gives his reply to the ques- tion put in the House of Commons, whether he would advise the government to invite an International monetary conference, when he sald: “I am and always have been in favor of an international agreement, but I have not the right to pledge my colleagues, and I do mot believe that any international agree- ment would result from any international conference.” Mr. Balfour's letter then continues: “It is only as regards the statement that I had no grounds for thinking that a conference would result fn an international agrecment at the present moment, and that an abortive con- ference would do more harm than good, that any difference of opinion may possibly be found among the bimetallists, In my judg- ment, however, there Is but little prospect of a conference succceding unless govern- metts who are to be represented at it come to some understanding on the main point at fssue beforo the conference assembles. No such understanding, unfortunately, at present exists, and until it does exist a conferenco would probably do more harm than geod.” Galety Girl Commits Sniclde. LONDON, Scpt. 7.—Tho Sun today says that news Las reached London that Daisy Melvlile, who went to South Africa in the Galety Girl company, has committed sulcide thera, No motive is known. She plsyed with the Galety Girl company when it was in New York last scason, She was the friend and undorstudy of the actress, Marle Mont- rose. Miss Melville was coly 18 years old and exceedingly beautiful, Official Found Dead in the Woods. BUDA PESTH, Rept. 7.—Herr Fischer, secretary to the minister of the Intericr, was found dead today in a wood in the outskirts of the clty with a bullet wound in his body, It is supposed that he was murdered and as his watch and chaln were goze it 1s surmis:d that the cbjest of the murder was robbery. T0 TURN TIM DOWN Justin McCarthy Will Issue a Most Im- portant Manifesto, HAS HAD ENOUGH OF HEALY ALREADY Time Has Come When Dissension in the Irish Ranks Must End, SOME RECENT HISTORY RECOUNTED Leader Finally Leaves the Decision in the Hands of the Irish Nation, SEVERE BODY BLOW FOR THE LABOR PARTY Only Dona Fide Workingmen to Be Allowed to Attend the Sessions of the Trades Union Congress. (Copyrighted, 1565, by Press Publishing Company.) LONDON, Sept. 7.—(New York World Ca- ble—Special Telegram.)—I have been fur- nished tonight with the following manifesto by Justin McCarthy, which will not be given even to the Irish public until next Monday. It is important as presaging the expulsion of Healy from the nationalist party, unless he makes complete submission, and doubt- less as also presaging the most bitter in- ternecine conflict in the Irish party since the deposing of Parnell. Therefore 1 send it in full. Mr. McCarthy declare “I feel that I ought not to allow the South Kerry election to pass without say- ing some words of warm thanks to the pa- triotic electors of that constitutency. To the men of South Kerry a deep debt of grati- tude is due from the whole Irish race for saving the party from the deadly blow aimed at its unity and its yery existence. And it Is necessary that the Irish pecple should fol- low up what South Kerry has done and that their united voice should declare with equal emphasis that faction must cease and disci- pline be maintained. The actions of Mr. Murphy and his supporters in South Kerry was not an isolated instance of revolt, but was one of a long series of persistent at- tempts to wreck the Irish party. “For three years this attack has been carried on, and I have been prevented from bringing the whole matter before the people of Ireland in all its painful detalls solely by a desire to spare the people of Ireland the pain and humiliation which such public controversies must infiict and by the vain hope that by the exercise of patlence and conciliation bet- ter counsels would prevail. QUARREL CAME WITH DISSOLUTION. ““When the general election came the policy of disruption was pushed even more vigor- ously against us. Dissolution came unex- pectedly. The time for preparation was short, A meecting of the Irish party was called and by an overwhelming majority the chairmap and the committee of the party was charged with the duty of collecting funds and making arrangements in connection with the Irish elections. A few days afterward, at an ordinary meeting of the executive Irish National federation in Dublin, presided over by Mr. Arthur O'Connor, and at which Mr. Healy and his friends were present, a reso- lution of which no notice had been given, censuring the Irish party and committee, was ssed and published in the Irish papers. ‘missaries then were sent into the coun- try to oppose several members of the party on no other ground than that they had stood loyally by their pledge to preserve the unity of the party supporting the prineiple of majority rule. Mr. O'Connor went to Queens county and to Kerry with a view of getting bhimself chosen, instead of a sitting member of the party, and for the purpose of pushing the candidature of Mr. Murphy. Mr. Murphy himself was proposed in Queens county, in Kerry and in the South Louth, in each case as an opponent of a loyal member of the party. And it has been reported to me on good authority, although I hesitate to give credit to the report, that Mr. Murphy offered to stand for the city of Kilkenny on condition that Mr. Patrick MacDermott, one of the most loyal members of the party, be driven from (he representation of North Kil- kenny,7and that he refused to stand when his conditions were not accepted, SURMOUNTED MANY DIFFICULTIES. “These wero difficulties under which my colleagues and myself had to fight the general clection. We had to meet the opposition not only of the unionists and Redmondites, but the more insidious and damaging attacks of the members of our own party, who at the most critical moment did everything fn thelr power to disorganize our ranks and prevent us obtalning the funds necessary to cariy through the election to success. Finally the campaign against the party culminated in the declaration of Mr. Healy at Omagh that we have bzen guilty of the grossest kind of corruption in the use of the £10,000 from Mr. Blake, of the £15,000 sent from Americi and the £1,000 from Australia, I shoild mention that we owed the last subseription to he fact that Mr. Davitt gencrously gave th. proceeds of his lectures as a guarantee f tho money. In spite of all this, at the ses- sional meeting of our own party fome of our colleagues thought it wise to make an at- tompt at conciliating the gentlemen who have been carrying on the war against the party for so many years and so recently, and Mr. Healy, Mr, Arthur O'Connor and Mr. Knox were elected members of the parliamentary committee, The result of this attempt at conciliation is to be seen in the revolt in South Kerry and in the scandalous com- munication made to the press by Mr. Healy, in which he professes to give a full statement of tha confidential proceedings of the com- mittee. “While the revolt in South Kerry was in- excusable, if party discipline and unity are to be regarded as realities, it has done serv- ice in rousing the Irish people to some con- ception of the dangers by which the'r cause Is threatened through a new faction, as disloyal to party unity and party pledge as the old. 1t the party.is to be preservel from di:ruption through these new factionists it must te by a repudiation of such tactics by the Irish people at large which will be as emphalic as that at South Kerry. I now leive the de- cision of this great issue with perfect con- fidence In the hands of the Irish nation." HURLBURT DIED UNFORGIVEN. The apparently unexpected death of Wil- llam Henry Hurlburt comes as a surprise to his friends here, who have been actively en- gaged for a year past in an endeavor to arrange matters so that he might safely re- turn to London, Only last Wednesday 1 way talking with an old-time assoclate of his, who is at the same time on intimate terms with Lord Rosebery, and I heard the full story of the really desperate efforts necessary at the time of the accusation against Hurlburt to prevent his arrest before he could get away from Englamd. His safety then was undoubtedly due to Lord Rose- bery's interest. This same gentleman tells me that a series of very futeresting letters from southern Burope, published in the New York Sun for several years past over the sig- nature of “An Ameriean Traveler,” were written by Hurlburt. < His wife's sister-in- law, Mrs, Plerrepont Morgan, remained faith- ful through all his troubles and freely spent her not large income In trying to secure an abandonment of the persecution against him. The woman, Gladys Evelyn, was much in evidence about London until about a year ago, since which time nothing is to be learned about her. ©One of the papers here thus concludes its obituary: “The Hurlburt defense, it will be remembered, was that a double, a certaln Wilfred Murray, had com- mitted the wrongs and written the letters laid to his charge. The world has never yet yielded up Wilfred Murray and there cannot be much doubt that he now lies dead in Italy and will b2 buried with Willlam Henry Hurlburt.” WHAT AFFECTED THE DOCTOR. Chauncey Depew mnotes two of the most interesting features of this year's European visit. The first Is the profound impression made upon him at Lourdes, when he wit- nessed the long processions of the faithful carrying lighted torches about the streets and singing “Ave Marias” fn chorus. He says that it was only by the strongest in- tellectual effort that he could restrain him- self from joining in the procession and the plous song. The second was at the picnic given to the prince of Wales at the site ot the old Roman camp in the woods, some miles from Hamburg. The function con- tinued after nightfall. A concealed Hun- garian band was stationed some distance off, while a lot of children of the neighboring farmers had gathered in the underbrush to watch the party. Their gleaming eyes re- flected the light of the torches, and when alarmed they would scurry off to return in a few minutes to watch. as before. All this and the weird music recalled the legends of pixie gatherings In the great forest. Count and Countess ds Castellane have been giving a great fete to the tenantry ot the family at the chateau. They had some 4,000 guests. Senor Martinez de Roda, who married our Mme, Barrios in New York a few years ago, has just fought a duel with Count Penalna on the French frontier. They fought with sabres and both were wouided. HARD BLOW TO SOCIALISM. The Trades Union congress at Cardiff has seen the complete rout of the socialistic ele- ment, under whose dominatian the congress had been for two vears. John Burns car- ried an important amendment to the constl- tution to the congress, under which delegates must either be bona fide workingmen or paid officials of the unions they represent. This was hotly contested, but Burns carried the congress with him and In future Keir Hardie and several of his colleagues, who are not workingmen, will be ineligible for delegates unless they can gt appointed.as paid officials of trades unions, which, it is believed, they will find impossible. This mew rule hits the independent labor party hardest of any sec- tion, and coming on its disastrous experi- ences at the polls will ten<to break it up al- together. -‘The receptiori: to the Amierican delegates was exceptionally cordial and they made an excellent impression. BALLARD SMITH. DEFEAT EMBITTERS HEALYITES. Joy of McCurthyites Tempered by the Evident Apathy of the Voters (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Assoclated Press.) LONDON, Sept. 7.—The defeat of the Healyite candidate at the parliamentary elec- tion in the south division of Kerry yester- day has embittered . the strife inside the Irish home rule party. Had the Healyites been victorious in this contest, it is stated that Justin McCarthy would have resigned the leadership of the party. Now, however, both sides are in a temper to fight to the death. The jubilation of the McCarthyites over their victory is tempered by the evident apathy of the Irish people, as shown by the smallness of the poll in Kerry. The govern- ment is highly pleased to observe the weak- ening of the party which has o greatly ob- structed legislation by international dissen- sions. The liberals themselves admit that the new Parliament has opened most auspiclously for the conservatives, Bernard Shaw, the well known soclalist and novelist, who has been represeating the Cardiff Trades Unlon couferenca for the Star, writes of the manner In which the American delegates were ignored by the leaders of the congress, upon whose invita- ‘tion the Americans had come. “Thelr rec p- tion,” Mr. Shaw says, ‘‘compares unfavor- ably with the reception given Holmes and Burns in America.” “In fact,” says Mr. Shaw, “we do not do these things well in England, and cven when Thursday's formal reception came the con- gress sat up solemnly with the air of being in church, while tie gussis carried off the occasion much bet'er tman the hosts. The visitors must be consummate actors, for I do not believe that the human breast can be so deeply moved by any moral cvent as they were by medals and demonstraiions.” While Lady Henry Somerset has been en- gaged in looking after a habitual drunkard named Jane Cakebread, who has been arrested for drunkenness more than 300 times, the St. Pancreas vestry has been discussing Lady Henry Somerset’s property. The health com- mittee had recommended:the immediate clos- ing of certain of her housésin Char:ton street, Somerstown, which were unfit for human habitation. One memberl of the board as- serted that the lady was'content to do noth- Ing for the betterment bf ‘the property as long as she recelved yent, but that now she was willing to ca-oparate with tho vestry, because the expenseswould devolve upon the vestry. Another member asserted that Lady Henry Somerset was. slncercly anxious to improve the condition of the poor. After considering the discusslon the committee recommendation was unanimously adopted, A spirited correspondence has appeared in the Times during the weelcon the subject of the allegel dirastrous effdets of gambling in wheat on agriculture.. Several letters charge that the bulls makefictitious contracts in Liverpool and telegeaph their prices to Chicago, and that Chieigo in turn tele- graphs for the Liverpol markst and the fictitious prices appear In the newspapers of the mext morning and fix the price which farmers are to recelve for their grain, More Troops Arrive in Cuba, HAVANA, Sept. 7.—Fourteen hundred troops arrivel at Sant'ago de Cuba today from Spain. The relnforcements consist of a bat talion of the Constitution regiment and two companies of the Burgos regiment. The press of Havana has agreed to give a baaquet to the last battalion that arrived from Spain Rebellion 1 ua ing Serious, SHANGHAL, Sept. 7.—The rebellion in the provine: of Kan Sug is becoming formidable. The Insurgents have organized an army and Witk it have captured eleven cities. It is re- ported that the government at Peking medi- tates calling upon Russia for aid in sup- pressing the rebellion. FANNING THE FLAME Intimates of the Emperor Encourage His Animosity to the Socialists, GIVEN CLIPPINGS FROM THEIR PAPERS Favors a More Stringent Law Than that Framed by Bismarck, GERMAN-AMERICAN VETERANS DELIGHTED Treated with Especial Courtesy by the Em- peror and King of Saxony, PRINCE BISMARCK NOTABLY GRACIOUS German Exporters Cos fean Consular Rules Conee the Marking of Good icans Deserting Hamburg. (Copyright, y the Ass:clated Press) BERLIN, Sept. 7.—Emperor Willlam's de- nunciation of soclalism in his speech at the banquet in the imperial palace Mapday even- ing in honor of the surrender of Sedan has been the theme of animated discussion In the press of Berlin during the week. The official organ of the conservatives in its anger serl- ously proposes the exclusion of socialist depu- ties from all the committees of the Reichstag, in disregard of the fact that that course would be unconstitutional. The press generally has been disputing over tho meaning of the emperor's words. They belleve the emperor wishes to have a law passed which shall be even more stringent in its provisions than the Bismarck law of 1878, Emperor William has recently been read- ing extracts made daily from the soclalist newspapers, and his entourage, especlally Herr Von Lucanas, chief of his majes civil cabinet; Herr Von Wiedel, chicf of the emperor’s household, and Herr Von Hankke, have fanned the flame of his indignation at insulting references to his grandfather, Em- peror Willlam II. This culminated Monday morning in the emperor saying to one of his intimates: “It is time we made an end of this.” There is one section of the German pre that desires the enactment of new repressive measures. The center and the liberal p unanimously condemn the socialist pres its insults to the emperor, but utter warn- ings against the enactment of unconstitu- tional repressive measures. PUBLISHED HAMMERSTEIN'S LETTER Another sensation has been caused by the Vorwaerts publishing the correspondence of Baron Von Hammerstein, formerly the edi- tor of the Kreuz Zeitung, who receded from political life early in the year, in a rather scandalous quarrel with the agrarian party. The letters, which bear the {mpress of au- thenticity, convict the conservative leaders of base cpportunismi, even to the point of de- sertion of the sociallst ranks, unless: their agrarian demands should be satisfied. It is supposed that Von Hammerstein is trying to intimidate his colleagues by exposing the intrigues, Four army corps, comprising 120,000 men, are engaged in the Stettin mancuvers. Em- peror William's guests there include Prince Joseph of Saxony, the crown prince of Italy, Prince Leopold of Arnulf, Lord Roberts of Canada and the earl of Lonsdale, Emperor William, except what time he is not in command of the troops, will be umpire of the mancuvers. The earl of Lonsdale, since his arrival in Germany, has been constantly with Em- peror William's camp. The German-American veterans are de- lighted with the kindness they have met with everywhere. Mr. Fourche of Chicago, in an interview with the correspondent of the Associated press, said that when they visited Friedrichsruh they found Prince Bismarck is a most amiable mood. The prince showed them all the courtesies in his power. He insisted on Mr. Fourche tasting the wines and spirits in his cellar and would take no denial. Prince Bismarck was very curious to obtain an opinion as to the quality of his American whisky, not being, he said, much of a connoisseur of that article since the days when John Lothrop Motley and George Ban- croft represented the United States at Ber- lin. The veterans were assigned to an advan- tageous position from which to view the parade on the Templehot fleld. There the emperor conversed with them with evident pleasure. On Wednesday he sent to each of them a souvenir medal, on onme side of which was his portrait, COMPLIMENTED THE VETERANS Mr. Stall of Chicago, a veteran of 1848, was especially complimented by Emperor Willlam and by the kings of Saxony and Wurtemburg on his robust health and erect carriage. To Mr. Fuller of Nebraska City the em- peror said: “The old Berlin barracks in which you were quartered are still there. They are no better than they were then. The Reichstag does not give money with which to build better, To Mr. Grabbert of Chicago, a big American flag wherever marches, Emperor William & you love that beautiful flag. kindly noticed, The American consular rules as to marking bills of lading are felt by all German ex- porters to impose great hardships on them.

German-Ameri Royal Tin the BERLIN, Sept. 7.—The German-American veterans of the war of 1870-71 left Berlin this morning for Lelpsic. The reception com- mitteo and numerous parties of Berlin com- rades of the tourists accompanied them to the platform of the Anhalt station. With the party were many ladies. The Americans re- peatedly expressed their thanks for the ho pitality of their entertainment and the warmth of their reception. Their Berlin com- rades responded, saying that the visit had afforded them great pleasure. As the train started the members of the party from Ar ica waved tiny American flags while their Berlin friends cheered heartily.

EARNED HER TITLE Defender Crosses the Line Almost Nine Minutes in the Lead, BRITISH BOAT GIVEN A HARD SET BACK For the First Fourteen Miles Sho Looked Much Like a Winner, AMERICAN THEN BID VALKYRIE GOODBY Hope of Patriotic Americans Bears Fruis in Performance, AMERICA'S CUP STAYS ON THIS SIDE Start In n Fog w Finish Wina s ers’ h 0 Light Brees and Under a Strong the Contend= ' True Merits, NEW YORK, Sopt. 7.—Defender won hep name in fine fashion today, finishing far ahead of the English challenger, Valkyrie 111, and giving every evidence of outclassing the Dunraven boat in almost any kind of weather, There were strange features cone nected with the race for the America’s cup, not the least being tho general doubt exe pressed during the first fourteen miles, of the course as to which was in the lead. It was nip and tuck from the first gun signal until within a short distance of the mark, and then Defender caught the breeze, and to the delight of thousands simply sailed away, from her rival. From that moment she went on Increasing her lead to the end, winning by the surprising margin of elght minutes and forty-nine seconds. Such work in what was denominated Valkyrie weather, is caleulated to satisfy the yacht sharps on this side of the water to their heart's content and to lend fear to the minds of those who have hoped for a reversal of American form and the winning of the cup by the Englishmen, No event in the history of the sport ever excited the interest shown in the race today. Since Vigilant defeated Valkyrie in 1893 the international contest has been kept well in. mind, and the enthusiasm displayed today, was merely the outcome of the pentup feels ing of the past year or two. The Assoclated press tug, which left her dock at a very, early hour, passed many a strange craft oute ward bound to the Hook. Off Bay Ridge there were gathered most of the crack yachts of the port and some visitors, and along the line boats lay in readiness to join the fleet around the old Scotland lightship. Dull weather was promised, but that mattered little, for the flotilla could scarcely have been larger. It Just as grand, just as imposing and the steamers bore just as ne terested thousands as though the day had been a veritable yachtsman's day, and the- sky had been unclouded overhead. A great swinging roll was encountered long before the Hook came in view, and the verdict wag that if wind was left swell at least would not be. And so it proved SOME LOST INTEREST. the thousands gathered to=' gether on the decks of the steamers, there was at at least hundreds who cared very little that there was a great International yacht race on, and the probe able winner was of etill less importance to them. Many others were borne up by their enthusiasm, and the rest, to whom sickness came not, had every reason to arouse thems selves to the beauty of the struggle, A grander fight for position was never seen. and almost to the end of the outward coursp it seemed at times as though the two boats were one, viewed from directly across thelr Lows. In tho course of the morning, whem many sailing crafts were on the outward voy= age, several of the Dig steam yachts of the New York Yacht club came stcaming in, Others not so mposing darted hither and thither, and as the day grew, silently followed: the contenders out beyond the lightship, where it had been decided the course should be lald, | At 8 a. m. both Defender and Valkyrie lay peacefully at anchor within the Horsés shoe at Sandy Hook. They spent the night there close to each other, guarded as cares fully as children by thelr mother. At 8:39 a. m. there was little signs of life on board, but a few minutes later all stir and bustle. The big mainsails were loisted on cach and the visitor was first under way in charge of lier tender, followed soon by the American. They broke cut their jibs at the same time, and even at that early hour the cheers of the watchers were arcused by the sight of Defender assuming the lead. The start was off Seabright, N. J., some miles from the lightship. When the singly stickers drew up to the tart boat a greaf flect was in walting and strung for miles bes hind the rear of the guard, apparently counte lees In number and endless In varlety. The smokes of a great city seemed {o rise from their midst, and when all had gathered in that never-to-be-forgotten circle about the starting line it was a floating city, indeed, rollig and swaying under the iuvjsible strength of the ocean. A forest of spars and a deep wall of smoke was the background, and in the center of the pleture were two narrow, scemingly fragile boats, standing bigh up above the others, clad in white decked only with swiftly moving figures, an even In that lght breezo skimming over the water like beings endowed with life ang beauty. -l ts long after the or RULES FOR THE START. The preparatory gun found both b walting, for it was considerably appointed time when it was fir Far off in the distance the spectators on the beach saw the smoke and strained thelr eyos for the start, Tho two white-winged creatures tacked about for tho word and they scemed too close to each other, like wrestlers tryin for a hold. Several times they came nhou! exactly together, and as one boat moved about it was finully obsorved that the Bnglishmag, would undoubtedly cross the e first, To tho plaudits of those who watched the seamane ship, Captaln Hank Haff brought the Des fender quickly about with her rival on the last tack, and (he Buglishman crossed only four seconds ahead of Defender, with the lal ter having the wind, and, as events subse quently showed, In much tho better positio Tre courso was fifteen miles to \\lndwa:x and roturn, and tbe boats went off on th tarboard tack.
