4 i ¢t U . " o) v THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE [EEED ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871. NEITHER AT FAULT Bmalley Exonerates Both Mr, Iselin and Lord Dunraven, NEW YORK CLUB COMMITTEE TO BLAME Mismanagement of the Race Responsible for the Entire Fiasco, ROSE'S CHALLENGE AFFORDS RELIEF Matoh with Satanita Would Be a Vindica- tion of America, FRANCE PURSUES A QUEER POLICY Accumulates Grievances Agninst Eng- Iand and Muddles the Waller Case Further by Semi-Official Press Publieations. NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—(Special Telegram.) T need not add much to what I said last week about the America’s cup race. What has since become known does not alter the unpopular views I then expressed. But as I discussed the whole subject without referring to Mr. Iselin, I wish now to do justice to him. Tho facts concerning Mr. Isclin had not at that time been made public. It is known now that he has done a real service to his country. His proposal to the committee to call off all the races and resall them on Lord Dunraven's own terms i one of the most magnanimous acts in the history, I do not say of yachting merely, but of international relations. It has set ug right with England and with that great body of European public opinion which neither we nor any other nation can afford to desplse. 1t was a generous and manly act, and it 1s nothing less than deplorable that the New York Yacht club committee could mot sce thelr way to accepting it. Once more they pronounced their everlasting “impossible.”” They would not even communicate Mr. Ise- lin's proposition to Lord Dunraven. They al- Jowed it to be supposed that Lord Dunraven knew of it and exposed him to reproaches besed upon an assumption of knowicdge which did not exist. It is now admitted that he heard of it for the first time from the correspondence published in the newspapers. 1 do not suppose for a moment that the com- mittee intended a discourtesy, but I think they might have avoided the appearance of one. Lord Dunraven’s suprise at learning of Mr. Tsclin’s proposal was great, and it is peace of Europe. She is not, indeed, a re- public, and that is the second reason why, say her {ll-wishers, we should not wish her well. She Is, however, a kingdom by the will of her own people, and if she is not a republic she Is none the less a democracy. We may regret that she does not turn out her king and set up a president, but we must admit that her people are entitled to choose for themselves. It we undertake to choose for them we deny the fundamental doetrine of our own democracy. A republic is at present im- possible in Ttaly. Her destiny depends on the stability of her monarchy, and her na- tional and political fortunes are bound up with those of the house of Savoy. It is her independence—her Fourth of July, her 1776 that she is celebrating. Her 1789 will come later. FRANCE STILL AFTER ENGLAND. France continues her policy of accumulating griovances against England, and has now found a new one in the English channel. Her policy irresistibly reminds you of that radical policy against the House of Lords, which went by the name of “Filling Up the Cup." The radicals tried to rush through the House of Commons a great number of measures which they knew the House of Lords would reject, meaning them to say to the country “These are measures for your advantage which the Lords will not suffer you to have So France devises—the irrepressible and ex- tremely inventive M. Hanotaux devises— complaints of English omissions and commis- slons all over tho globe—in Africa, and In three or four different parts of Africa, in Asia, and in stili more numerous quarters of that continent, in Europe, and, of course, in America, where Newfoundland is one of her most promising possibilities. When the bundle has grown big enough it is to be flung in the face of Christendom. The latest addition to it is a claim for the Minquier islands, heretofore supposed to form part of Jersey. All the channel islands ové¥ which flies the English flag have long been an eyesore to France, and French war- ships crulse about them from time to time in a manner which English sailors and soldiers on duty in those parts think wilfully offen- sive and sometimes insulting. No particulars have yet been published of these fresh French pretensions. They will be worth read- Ing when they make their appearance, if they ever do, In the form of a French foreign ofiice dispatch. With us also the French foreign office has peculiar methods of dealing. A Paris paper, which has relations with the Quai a'Orsay, was instructed or allowed to say that t papers in the Waller case, having been ex- amined, proved that the United States had no ground of complaint and that Waller was regularly and justly convicted. It took just twenty-four hours to explain that unless the French authorities had misrepresented the facts the Waller papers were still on their way from Madagascar and could not arrive for some weeks. Meantime the story in the Slecle does the work it was meant to do by more than probable that he would have ac- cepted it it he had had the chance, and ac- cepted it cagerly. It Is therefore neither upon Lord Dunraven nor upon Mr. Iselin that the responsibility of the ultimate flasco rests, but upon the committee. The refusal is theirs and the burden theirs. They have not, with all their good intentions and technical Kknowledge and their immense confidence in their own infallibility, shown themselves equal to the dutles which devolved upon them. HAILS THE NEW CHALLENGE. Now comes a new challenge for America’s cup' from Mr. C. D. Rose, owner of the Satanita. The very delight with which it §s received shows how uneasy was the American mind over the disastrous ending to the old one. “It is impossible to express other than unbounded satisfaction at the challenge,” says a leading New York journal, which has been the greatest offender in its treatment of the subject. We often hear in these days of government by newspapers. It s a kind of government which has dis- advantages, but there is a case where it may be useful. The newspapers, as the organs of an intelligent and honorable public opinion, may take this new challenge out of the hands of the New York Yacht club com- mittee. They may insist, and I hope will insist, on a fair course. That is the chiet point. It is at any rate the point of attack. Those English papers which have reproached us have reproached us for that reason. No fair course, they said, ‘was to be had off Sandy Hook. The history of last week justifies them in saying that, since the inability of the committee to cope with the mob of excursion steamers {8 mani- fest and admitted. ‘What is not justified nor justifiable is the inference which these papers have drawn from that fact. They chose to allege that the spirit of fairness did not prevail here. The more respectable and authoritative of the English ,ournals contradicted them on this point and did ample justice to us. Our calumniators are some of the sporting and radical sheets—sporting papers of high posi- tion, but of a low order of morals and de- void of civility; the radical press acts after its own kind. Leok for auti-American ex- pressions and it Is almost always in the radical press that you will find them. They do not like Amerlcans, nor American princi- ples, nor American practice, nor American politics, nor, so far as I can see, anything that is American. Read the Daily News and the Chronicle if you care to know the worst that is sald of America in England, the least true, the least friendly, and the least intelli- gent view, while the comments of other Eng- lish journals have been for the most part appreciative and sympathetic. TEMPORAL POWER OF THE POPE. The celebration of the twenty-fifth anni- versary of Italian independence is an event with which, as Americans, we may be per- mitted to sympathize. Two reasons are alleged why we should not. One is the pope and the permanent papal pretension to terri- torlal soverelgnty in Rome. The pope goes to St. Peter's to pray against the vandals who keep him a “prisoner” in the Vatican, and American prelates join thetr prayers to his. The faithful all over the world are supposed also to join in these pious invocations, I doubt whether they all do. The pope, like other potentates, incurs the fortunes of war. The spiritual headship of the church Is one thing. The civil and political authority which the occupant of St. Peter's chair so long wielded over Roman territory {s an- other thing. It Is not necessary to confuse the two In order to be & good Catholie. The pope as pope has never been better obeyed nor ever enforced a more absolute jurisdic- tion over the church and over the consciences of bellevers than since the expulsion from his earthly kingdom. We may be excused if, without the least intention of offense to him or to any good Catholic, we think he ought to be content with that, It Is, In any case, tolerably clear that he ‘Wwill have to be content, and that it would be a diss r to Europe if he should regain his temporal power, I say nothing of the abuse of it in old days, Everybody knows to what ‘seandals eccleslastical rule in Rome gave rise, Pope and church might well think themselves fortunate to escape these. The considerations ‘which control the opinions and sympathies of Protestant Europe and Protestant America are far b . Maly hae become a - great nation apd a great power essential to the creating or confirming a prejudice against Mr. Waller and against the friendly govern- ment, which has the presumption to wish to protect one of its own citizens and to que tion the infallibility of a French court mar- tial. NOTHING NEW FROM TURKEY. Thero are the usual contradictory assertions aboyt Armenia. Tuesday's telegram from London assures us that Turkey has sub- mitted. Wednesday's declares that nothing is known of her submission at the English foreign office. The rivalry between compet- ing news agencies may have something to do with this confusion of testimony, but on the whole it is safer to believe the denial. Said an eminent English diplomatist: “I should be sorry to predict what Turkey would do in any given diplomatic emergency, but if there be a rational and honorable course clearly open to her that is the thing you may be certain she will not do.” That description still holds good. GEORGE W. SMALLE WALES IN MORE TURF TROUBLE, Given an Uudeserved Advantage cnuse of His Royalty. (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, Sept. 21.—Something ap- proaching a turf scandal has arisen on account of the extraordinary light- ness of the handicap placed upon Florizel, owned by the prince of Wales. Immediately after the acceptance of the Czarewitch stakes was published, 6 to 1 was freely taken on Florizel. One writer fays that the only pos- sible solution was a desire on the part of the handicapper to treat the prince of Wales leniently and that the horse would not have been thus favored if it had belonged to any ono else. It transpires that Geoffrey Perkins, who long figured in the English papers as an American journalist and lawyer, and whose career was Interrupted this week by a sen- tence of ten years imprisonment for swind- ling, was born in Kent, Eng. A few years ago Perkins became prominent in the smoking rooms of the big hotels. Since then he has attempted some specles of swind- ling upon nearly every well known American who has come to England, His career as a blackmailer was remarkable, his victims representing all ranks of society, from earls to street walkers. He claims that Governor Perkins of California is his uncle. Among his achievements was getting possession of the title deeds of a farm in California from its owner, John Thompson, last year. This case attracted much attention at the time. A mysterious paragraph is going the rounds of the newspapers to the effect that the en- gegement will shortly be announced of an officer of the guards to the widow of a titled member vf Parliament, recently deceased. The lady, It is added, Is wealthy, dark and beautiful. It 4s supposed that the ludy al- luded to is Lady Randolph Churchill. King Leopold of Belglum has sold to Colonel North the “nitrate king,” a mile of the sea- tront of Ostendt, the price paid being $1,600,- 000, It is said that Colonel North intends to found there an international sporting club De- which will be the center of horse- racing, glove-fighting and athletics gen- erally, ~with & theater, gambling rocms, public gardens, etc. The tract purchased begins just beyond the king's pavilion. ~ Ostendt already shares with Monte Carlo the reputation of being the fastest place in Europe. During the last summer 1t has been visited by some of the most notorlous gamblers and members of the demi monde in Europe, but under the new auspices it promises to eclipse all pre- vious efforts, It is sald that Max Lebaudy who inherited a fortune of $15,000,000 from his father, a sugar reflner, which he has been indus- triously trylng to dissipate for some time, has fallen into the hands of the same Eng- lish gang who preyed upon the late 'Squire Abingdon, the famous English sportsman, Katherine Beauclerk, daughter of the duke of St. Albans, is to be married to Lady Heary Somerset's son next year, Miss Jessle Ackerman of San Francisco, and Mieses Schaftuer and Pratt of Pennsyl- vania, have just returned from an expedition to leeland, where they went to organize the white ribbon society. Miss A:kerman rode 200 miles on horseback 1n the performance of her work. ATTEMPT NO REPLY Englishmen Make No Defense of Dunraven's Oourse in Withdrawing, FITZGERALD'S CRITICISM UNCHALLENGED Letter Pointing Out the Lord's Mistakes Silently Accepted as Just. INCIDENTS OF THE GREAT AVALANCHE Messages to London Papers Give a Few De- tails of the Disaster, EVIDENCE OF MARCH OF PROGRESS Death of the Man Who Drove the First Locomotive in England Results from a Fall on (Copyrighted, 1895, by Press Publishing Company.) LONDON, Sept. 21.—(New York World Cable—Special Telegram.)—It is very signif- fcant that, with all the Englishman's love for writing to newspapers, no one has ven- tured to publicly traverse or criticise Ad- miral Fitzgerald's letter in last Thursday's Times, In which that eminent yachtsman and saflor so frankly declared that Lord Dun- raven has flagrantly violated all true laws of sport by disputing the decision of the com- mittee after it has been rendered, and bis additional statement that Lord Dunraven's action in glving the third race to Defender on a technicality was neither sportsmanlike nor courteous. In my own conversations with Englishmen since 1 find that they ackrowl- edged the admiral's arguments in support of this conclusion are unanswerable. Much surprise is expressed in yashting circles in London that Mr. Charles Rose should have challenged for the cup, since he has never been heretofore identified with yachting, and was believed to have recenily lost a large part of his fortune. This report probably arose from the fact that recenly he fold his Picadilly house, but, I learn that he was tie purchaser the other day of Mr. Clark's Sata- nita, Vigilant and Britanaia's chief com- petitor in the season of 1334, He mcans to enter her for the Meditercanean races tkis winter. It is reported in yachting clubs that Barney Barnato, the South African multi- millionaire, is desirous of challenging for America's cup. ABOUT THE RANSOM OF ROME. The English press has been discussing pro- posed ranson of Rome, of which scheme [ have given an outline, and the Chronicle's Paris correspondent, in an elaborate tele- gram, says that the project was originated by Cardinal Guiimberti. He adds that it is belleved tho suggestion met with the warm support of the American prelates, and quotes, too, from the practical inauguration of the movement in favor of an American pope in the end. The French press apparently has to con- tend against influence from which Anglo- Saxon newspapers are happily free. At the international congress this wesk, M. Hebrard of Le Temps denounced the French govern- ment for purloining press messiges. M. Hebrard said that he once received a special message of a victory in Tonquin, costing him $500. When the dispatch reached Paris it was shown to the prime minister, the minister of war and others, and after passing from hand to hand, it was delivered to Temps after it had gone to press, but at 3 o'clock of the same morning it appaered in a Nantes paper, whose editor was the electoral agent of M. Waldeck Rosseau, who was at that time minister of the interior. It was headed trom ‘“our special correspondent.” ENGLISH IDEA OF BUSINESS. The Daily News prints a letter from a member from the Alpine clup, describing his visit to the scene of the great avalanche in Gemme Pass. It was on the morning after the fatal disaster and the party was warned of the extreme danger of attempting to cross the vast landslide, since rocks were still falling. Nevertheless, they pressed forward. The correspondent continues: “On reaching the top of the pass, in a quarter of an hour's stift chmb, we overtook an American, who had come up to see the avalanche. He informed us that some more ico was expected to come' down, and while declining to cross the pass himself, he tried with trus American keenness for doing busi- ness to persuade us to insure our lives with him for $1,000, at a moderate premium. Declining his offer we left him struggling along on a mule.” In sharp contradistinction to this, but in the same commercial spirit, they noticed “seven or eight stolld Switzers, with large pipes In thelr mouths, calmly unearthing some burled cheese, as if nothing extraordin- ary had happened, and, indeed, they seemed in no way impressed with the scene around them.," A special telegram to the Times this morn- ing says: “Six persons perished and 150 head of cattle, The cattle are supposed to have been lifted off their legs by the great current of air caused by the displacement, and deshed against the opposite side of the valley and then brought back again by the reflux.” DROVE STEVENSON'S FIRST LOCOMO- The vast march of progress within one gen- eration s strikingly illustrated by the death, only this week, of Joseph Bell, the engineer who drove Stevenson's first locomo- tive. After escaping numerous perils on the road, he met his death by falling through an opening in the sidewalk. Another illustration is Sir Isaac Holden, a member of the last Parliament, and still ac- tive as an old gentleman, who invented the lucifer match. An exposure of a scandal, which has long been public property, but which the rigid English libel lew heretofore kept the news- papers from discussing, has now been set in moticn by the Pall Mall Gazette, which prints a letter from America denouncing blackmail- ing by certain sections of the London press “With the exception of the great political dailies and one or two well known weeklies,” he boldly says, “there is hardly a paper ap- pearing in London whose columns cannot be purchased.” Ho gives his own personal experience with these blackmallers in successfully carying out here, in spite of them, “a large financlal transaction through the first of Anglo-Amer- lcan banking houses,” and the editor of the Gazette has his name and address in ecase any of the gentry wish him to prove bis al- legations in court, BALLARD SMITH. Will Hurt French Leather Trade, PARIS, Sept. 21.—La Justice, in its tesue of today, says that the manipulation of the leather market by ths American syndieates will exhaust the stocks of the French taagers within the next six months, ruin the leather industry and deprive workmen of employmeat o both government and private facteries for OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1895—TWENTY PAdES SINGLE C©COPY FIVE CENTS. ——g more than a year to come. pon the re sembling of the Chamber of Deputies, Gen- eral Zurlinden, the minister 6f war, will be asked what s‘eps it is propoked to take in order to prevent such a dissster, LIEUTENANT PEARY HACK AGAT Stenmer Kite Sighted at St with All on Bonrd, ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 21.—The Peary steamer has been signaled off this port. All her flags are flying, indicating that Peary and friends are on board. The Kite salled from St. Johns July 11 for Peary's headquarters in Ingl:fied gulf, Greenland. On board the steamer were a company of sclentists under the direstion of Emil Diebitch, a brother of Mrs, Peary, Ia- cluded in the number were Prof. R. D. Salis- bury of Chicago unversity, Prof. L. L. Dyche of the Kansas State university, Theo- dora Le Boutiller of Philadelphia and Dr. John B. Walsh of Washington. At the tim» of salling hops was expressed that the party would be back at St. Johns by the end of September, and the arrival of the steamer today Justified the expectation. On the arrival of the steamer Kite, Lieu- tenant Peary and Hugh J. Lee, with his colored servant, were found safe on board. They were found at Whaie sound on August 3, waiting for the Kite, and had only ten days previously returned from a great over- land expedition, which proved a comparative failure. Independence bay, the most north- ern part of Greenland, reached by the last year's expedition, was reached early In June, but they were deterred from the great undertaking by insufficiency of food. They were obliged on this account to abandon the attempt to make further progress. Nearly all the dogs perished and the remainder had to bo shot, owing to the inability to provide them with anything to eat. The Kite met with splendid weather north and started to explore tte west of Smith sound and traversed the whole coast, visiting Jones sound, Cape Sabine and Littleton island. Two meteorites of almost pure iron were taken aboard the Kite, but another weighing about forty tons they could not get on board. Many sensational stories are current among the crew of the extremities to which Peary, Lee and Hensen were reduced. According to the stories, which the explorers decline to deny,~they were al- most starved and were forced to eat seal and other refuse to keep alive. They started late in March on this jour- ney, and after reaching Independence bay were unable to proceed more than a few miles along the coast, Just beyond thelr former stopping place. They reached the top of a mountain and were unable to proceed further on account of the precipitous nature of the land. During the trip an unexpected contingency arose, owing to the fact that Lieutenant Peary was unable to locate hls cache of last year. He was unable to dis- cover any marks indicating it and was com- pelled to continue his Journey without the ample food and supplies whieh he had reck- oned on. The three men, Peary, Lee and Henson, went at once on short ratinne, husbanding as much food as possible, but before many days their sufferings became inténse and Lee broke down altogether. The strain had been so great on him that it befame necessary to place him on a sledge, which the other two drew. His illness gave further cause for alarm, because of the fact that adequate medical supplies were not on hand, and It was feared, during the first stages, that he would die from exhaustion, but he rallied eventually. All three owe their lives to the shooting of eight musk oxen, but during the Journey they had to sacrifice the weaker dogs and feed the flesh to the others, for it was necessary to sustain some of the animals as long as possible to enable their supplies and instruments to be brought along. Out of the sixty-nine dogs which started, only one re- turned alive, and all five sledges were aban- doned during the two days just prior to the return of the party to Anniversary lodge. Their safe return they looked upon as al- most a miracle, as during their last two days hardly a particle of food passed the mouths of any of them and the struggle to reach their home was one of ever increasing suf- fering. When the relfef expedition reached Anniversary lodge the Peary party were showing marked evidence of their terrible experiences. Lieutenant Peary was extremely noncommittal in regard to the expedition gen- erally, and all of the party declined to ex- press an opinion on the work done. Nog would they state what new discoveries have been made, The Kite's cruise, after finding Peary, was not prolific of results, or if it was, not much is being said of the nature of the discoveries. A number of walruses and seals was shot for museum purposes, and Prof. Gyshe made an unusually large collection of birds at Holsteinburg, ~ The two meteorites which were found are of large size, one weighing about three tons. The great iron stone re- ported by Sir John Ross, which was also come upon, could not be got off owing to its unwieldy size and enormous weight. It is believed by the members of the party that the expedition could have made a point much further north in the Kite, as there was open water as far north as could be seen from Littleton island, Dr. Kane's winter quarters, the most extreme point visited by the Kite after taking off the Peary party, TRIAL OF THE KU CHENG RIO!

Opern House Demtroyed by Fire, ST. CATHERINE, Out, Sept. 21.—The opera - house block on ‘Main street was totally destroyed by fire this morning. Ad- jolning buildings were damaged. The total loss s about $60,000. The opera house loss is half of this. Pain's hotel loses about $10,000. At one time the Masonic block, just rebuilt after one fire, was endangered, but the fire was under control at 2 a. m, e —— Alton Will Cut the Rate Deep. CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—There s a strong probabllity that on Monday the Alton road will make a rate of §1 on anthracite coal from Chicago to points on the Missouri river. The officials of the Alton would not acknowl- edge that they intended fo make the rate $1, but they said that they would probably make a rate that will be less than $2 and it will not be $1.50. The fight on the coal rates Is beginning to affect the class rates and there is scarcely any of them that are being main- tained at the present time. As It has been deeided to hold a meeting of the general passenger agents in Bt. Louls during the coming week, an effort will prob- ably be.made to see if the tariffs cannot be put on a stronger basis i t FORTUNES IN A DAY Speculation in South Africans Runs Riot in London, NOTHING LIKE IT EVER KNOWN BEFORE Men Who Were Penniless a Few Weeks Ago Are Now Rich, JEWELERS ARE REAPING A HARVEST Oharges that the Financial Press of the City is Purchasable, AMERICANS NOW TURNING HOMEWARD Steamers Out of Liverpool s with ampton Crowded Vietimized ¥ Bogus Gla stone Autograph Cards, (Copyrighted, 1865, by the Assocfated Press.) LONDON, Not for many years past has there been so much excitement on the London Stock exchange as fas prevailed during the last few weeks. It is alleged that more money Is made in Capel court now than at any time in the histcry of the Stock exchange. The speculation, which can only be described as wild, has been confined prin- cipally to South African stocks, locally known as “The Kaffirs.”” Many young stock bro- kers, among them scions of nobility, who a tew weeks ago had absolutely nothing, are now spending money with the utmost lavish- ness. The shops around Capel court, and especially those of the jewelers, are reaping a rich harvest in consequence. In connection with the boom on the Stock exchange the Pall Mall Gazette is printing a serfes of letters in wlich it has been al- leged that frightful corruption reigns su- preme in all the financial newspapers of Lon- don and to a large extent in the financial col- umns of the other papers of the city. One writer, who signed himself *American,” and who says that he floated a number of big properties on the London Stock exchange, says that with the exception of the great po- Itical dailies of the city and one or two well known weeklies there is not a paper in London whose opinions cannot be purchased. Very few Americans were to be seen in London this week, though the hotels yester- day and the Waterloo and Euston railroads today were crowded with people from the United States, intending to take passage today on the steamships homeward bound. The steamship Teutonic, which sailed from Liver- pool on Wednesday, had among her passen- gers Mr. William Murphy, who was the Healylte candidate at the recent election for member of Parliament for South Kerry, and Messrs. Anderson, Wigham and Dr. Carle, all of whom are conmected with the London Tramway company and who visit the United States for the purpose of inspecting electric street railways there with a view to intro- dueing the system in Dublin, The Strand theater was reopened Monday night with Harry Paulton’s new comedy, “In a Locket.” The play was only saved from oblivion by the good acting of the Strand company. Before the departure of Mr. Hare on his American tour he is to be entertained at din- ner at the Whitehall rooms of the Hotel Metropole on November 26. Many Americans have been victimized this summer by bogus Gladstone autograph post- cards. It seems that some one had a plate made from an original card and has been producing it by wholesale. The cards sold readily at 15 shillings each. They contained the following words: “Dear Sir: There is ab- solutely no truth in the statement you have kindly brought to my notice.” An interesting artic'e on American pub- lishers appeared in the Times tais week. In describing the big houses in New York, Bos- ton and Chicago, the writer sald that Eng- lishmen of science owed a debt of gratitude to the Appletons for introducing in the United States authorized editions of the works of Herbert Spencer, Prof. Tyndale, Prof. Huxley and Darwin. Mr. Spencer, in a letter which the Times published today, says that the debt of gratitude fs due his friend, Prof. Wimans, at whose instigation the work was undertaken. The anouncement of the engagement of the duke of Marlborough and Miss Consuelo Van- derbilt has crated a flutter of excitement throughout England. The news is given the prominent position in all the papers today. “Another Duchess from America” is the caption given to the dispatch by several of the journals. TOOK HIM FOR A GENERAL. The earl of Lonsdale was given an almost royal reception at the town of Whitehaven, of which he is the mayor, on his return from Germany. The streets of the town were pro- fusely decorated and there were fireworks and a torchlight procession in the evening. Many curious stories are told of Lord Lons- dale's experiences in Germany. One of those current is to the effect that the Germans were greatly impressed with his gorgeous opera bouffe uniform of the Cumberland Yeo- manry, and thought that he was at least a general of the English army until Lord Rob- erts, who was also a guest of Emperor W! liam, undeceived them by the coolness with which he treated Lord Lonsdale and by his amusement when he was asked about his lord- ship's military record. The report of ‘he postmaster general gives an interesting record of the development of the postal telegraph in Great Britain. When the telegraph lines were transferred to the government in 1870 the number of telegrams forwarded the first year 9,850,000 Last year the number exceeded 71,600,000 There has also been a remarkable development of speed In the transmission of telegrams, 600 words a minute having be- come possible with the Wheatstone system and 400 words a minute has been fixed as the standard on the main clrcuits. The report, however, shows a deficit of £153,917 to which must be added £98,858 for {nterest on capital. PROSPECTS OF ANOTHER WAR. The Economist this week gives the opin- lon that it has become a question whether another war in the far east can be averted. Russia, the Economist says, evidently dis- trusts Japan's promises and is resolved to glve her no time to increase her fleet, but to insist on the tmmediate evacuation of the Liao Tong peninsula and an abandonment of all pretensions on the part of Japan to a protectorate over Corea, Mr. Charles D. Rose, who has appeared as a challenger for the America’s cup, has not hitherto been identified with yachting. He 1s a member of the firm of Morton, Rose & Co., bankers. He recently bought the yacht Satanita from Mr. Clark. A representative of the Assoclated press had an interview with Dr. Lempriere, the was THE BEE BULLETIN.

Dr. Lempriere said: ““Thero have been constant communications between the British, American and German govern- ments regarding the future of Samoa. The present situation is an impossible one and can only result in the destruction of trade and the gradual extinction of the natives. According to last accounts, affairs in the island were at a standstill and the natives are in a condition of turhulence. New Zpa- land being the nearest British possession and greatest interested in the development of Polynesian trade, is the proper quarter from which the question can best be. pressed on the attention of the imperial government. I have the greatest confidence in Mr. Ward, the colonial treasurer of New Zealand, laying before his government some scheme having in view the alteration of the present condition of affairs. The Pacific cable having been de cided on and the money guaranteed is a m: ter of vital Importance to America as well as to Great Britain and the colonies. Fijj, which was first proposed as a central station for coaling and a station for repairing steam- ers, has been found unfit, being in the center of cyclonic disturbances. Only last winter a storm there leveled all the buildings in its track. Samoa, which Is in the postal union and in direct steam connection with San Francisco, New Zealand and Australia, has a ‘warbor three miles long by one-fourth wide with a safe anchorage. That America and Great Britain are both anxious to have the Samoan question settled is certain. Both countries desire to have an end put to the present deadlock, and it is hoped that some means may soon be found to settle the Ger- man claims and buy them out, if not at too exorbitant a figure. SHAKESPEARE OPULAR AGAIN, Works of the L Deing Revis (Copyrighted, 1805, by the Assoclated Press.) LONDON, Sept. 21.—By far the greatest dramatic event of recent years will cccur this evening In the pro- duction of “Romeo and Juliet” at the Lyceum. It is stated that no less a sum than $20,000 has been expended by Forbes Robertson upon this venture, and it goes without saying that the mounting of the play, the costuming and the accessories will be on a scale fully equal to that of the best of Avon in London. traditions of this famous theater. Mr. Robertson will be remembered by th Americans who witnessed his performances wLile supporting Mary Anderson and Henry Irving on the other side of the Atlantic. In this connection an old story Is recalled that while he was in Mary Anderson's company he fell deeply in love with Ler and that they were at one time engaged. Mr. Robertson’ sterling character and individuality have won him influential friends, and the interest in tonight's performance is something unprece- dented. The demand for seats has been enough to fill the house four or five times over. Much interest also prevails In the Juliet of Mrs. Patrick Campbell. The papers have been for weeks condoling with Mr Campbell upon the fact that her impersona- tion of the part must inevitably be con- trasted with that of the late Adelalde Nell- son, who is still remembered as the ideal Juliet of the English stage. The audience tonight will comprise all that is best in the literary, artistic, fashionable, and dramatic world of London, many leaders of these cir- cles having returned to town especlally for the purpose of attending. Mr. Robertson, of course, will be the Romeo of the cast Ctarle ghlan will play Mercutio; W. Den- nis, Tybalt; A.

Arthur Nikisch, formerly conductor of the Boston Symphony orchestra, has been ap- nt of the late Mr. Sherwood. the owner ! pointed to succeed the veteran, Herr Rinic, as conductor of the famous Gewandhaus concerts at Lelpsic, at a salary of 20,000 marks per annum. Miss Dorothea Baird, whom Mr, Tree has entrusted with the part of Trilby, has had a rapld and stilking success as an actress Indeed, so far as experlence goes she Is but a beginner on the stage. A little more than a year ago she had yet to make her debut. However, she had the good fortune to study under Mrs. Howson, and Bon Crest was one of the first managers to be at- tracted to her. He first saw her in an amateur performance of “Galatea,” and soon had an opportumity of giving her a remark- able chance. This was at a Shakespearean performance when the ‘leading actress found it impossible to appear as Rosalind. The suecess which Miss .Baird then scored was repeated In such parts as Hermione, Des- den.ona and Pauline. The production of *‘Cheer, Boys, Cheer” at Drury Lane on Thursday night was a dis- appointment. The play, which was the joint work of Sir Augustus Harris, Henry Hamlton and Cecil Raleigh, was handsomely mounted and costumed, but it was tediously long, last- ing from 7:30 p. m. untll midnight. The scene in Hyde park, where real ponies lent by Lords Loveat and Bathurst and others disported, was greatly applauded. Mrs. Eleanor Calhgun's debut in this melodrana can scarcely be set down as a success, e Movements of Ocean Vessels, Sept. 21, At New York—Arrived—St. Louls, from Southampton; Werkendam, trom Amsterdam, WILL BE N0 CHANGE Position of Chancellor Hohenlohe Assured for the Present.

(Copyrighted, the Associnted Press.) BERLIN, Sept. Semi-official denlals that a change in the imperial chancellorship Is impending are accepted as settling for the present the question of Emperor Wililam's ine tention of displacing Prince Hohenlohe. The fact must not be forgotten, however, that the aglitation against Prince Hohenlohe preceeds from the same quarters and Is prosecuted upon the same lines, and significant enough, under almost the same circumstances as the agitation which preceded the fall of Counk Caprivi. People are beginning to ask thems selves whether the emperor's return fromy shooting at Romainten was the sign for an= other change In the chancellorship, such as followed his return from Count Von Eulene berg's estate last year. Princo Hohenlohe has returned from his long vacation lodking much stouter and more robust than he did last winter. The other ministers are also returning to Berlin by one. The Bundesrath will reassemble early im October, when the puzzling questjon of deala ing with the socialists and other dificult subjects will come up for consideration. In view of the inevitable complications it is not safe to count much longer upon the du= ration of the present regime. There Is little doubt of the truth of the Vorwaerts' declas ration that Prince Hohenlohe is merely acte ing as a warming pan for some youngee statesman and once more in accord with the one emperor's views, who will soon be made chancellor, Germany's forelgn policy, =0 far as i€ has been directed or influenced by Herr Von Bieberstein, has not been satisfactory to Ema peror Willlam for some time past. It is rumored the emperor's frequent traveling companion and intimate of late, Baron Wids erlin-Waechter, whom he decorated with the grand cross of the Iron Crown after the Stete tin maneuveres of last week, Is destined to succeed Von Bieberstein in the ofice of the minister of foreign affairs. MORE LETTERS TO BE PUBLISHED, Although Baron Von Hammierse'n, the fugitive ex-chief editor of the Kreuz Zeltung, might be extradited from Bngland and brought here for trial under existing treaties. and in spite of the evidence of fraud which the directors of the Krewz Zeltung have placed in the hands of the public prosccutor, the baron continues to challenge publia attention to compromising letters written by leaders of the conservative party to persons ages of high position. It is announced eighty of these letters, containing startling facts, are about to be issued in phamphlet form. It is understood these letters relate to iilicit love affairs of the baron and his peculations, but they are regarded as politically fmportant, ag showing that the leaders of the conservative party were cognizant of these intrigues. It is now stated Baron Von Hammerstein has not yet resigned from the Diet and Relchstag, of both of which bodies he was a member, Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Eme peror William, will utilize the year's furlough from his duties as an admiral of the German navy to become acquainted with the various branches of foreign government administras tion. He will visit the courts of England, Italy and Austria, and will also visit Parls for the first time. When he goes to the French capital it will be incognito.
