NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—(Sp:cial Tele- gram.)—Lord Londonderry Is quoted as sa ing on Friday in the course of an atter-di ner speech at Rfpon that he thinks the House of Lords could 2 improved. That is a very moderate opinion. He added i .at he aoped the unionists would grapple with the question. That s a much more doubtful matter. Lord Rosebery told Lord Salisbury in the House iiself in 1888, while the an servatives were In power, that the zravest charge against him was his failure to do anything toward reform of the upjer cham- ber. But now comes the Clhironicle, a radical London paper, with a positive statement that the conservative leaders fntend ‘v make the House of Lords an elective body. There could 6ot be a worse authority. The conservatives bave not hitherto been in tne havil of co fiding their plans to their radical cppenents. I know of no reason why hey should do sn now. Who are the consevative leaders who announce their Intentions to the world through this radical medium? They might be dificult to identify. Lord Londonderry was viceroy of Ireland In the last conservative government. When Lord Salisbury formed his present cabinet he invited his ex-viceroy to enter it as lord of the privy seal. Lord Londonderry de- elined, much to the regret of his varty friends, who think he has in him the stuft of a capable and judicious minister. He has since been mentioned as a probable ambas- sador to Paris on the retirement Dufterin. In such a post as that he would bave, £s he had in the Irish viceroyalty, the sdvantage of Lady Londonderry's soclal gifts and prestige, and the advantage Is very great. High as is Lord Londonderry’s posi- tion, however, he is hardly the man who ‘would be chosen to announce a new departure on a political Issue, which is perhaps the most momentous that can now be raised in the English political world. SALISBURY THE SUPREME ORACLE. The subject is one on which one man can speak with authority and one only. The prime minfster is the only possible mouth- plece of the ministry on this question. Not only because he is prime minister, but be- Gauso he is Lord Salisbury. We never do Justice to Lord Salisbury in America. We call him a tory and so dismiss him. He is ¥nown in England, even to his op,onents, as a man of strong cunvictions. One of the strongest of his convictions is a belief in the hercditary principle. The hereditary prin- elple s, for many purposes, cut of date, but not in his view, as the basis of the constitu- tion of the House of Lords. He clings to that. He may very probably do a great fnjury to his order and the chamber which he rightly regards as a bulwark against revolu- tionary legislation. It would be easy to glve way It he considered expediency merely. Looked at as a matter of principle his po- sition i perfectly intelligible. The House of Lords is to him, and is, in fact, the one con- stitutional safeguard against the reckloss in- novations of a radical majority wheu thers bappens to be a radical majority in the Hous of Commons. Were it not for the House of Lords the majority of the moment might overturn the constitution or br up the empire during a single sitting. There is no supreme court with power to intervene, no reference to states, for there are no states, no veto, no reference to the people, no means of securing a refe; ~ye to the people save by the rejection of a b )1 by the House of Lords If It be a great messure and the scnse of th people be clearly declated at a general elec- tion the Lords accept the decision of the peo- ple and pass the bill. That is their admitted constitutional position and duty That, says Lord Salishury, they have per formed as a hereditary body. Who knows what they would do If they were eloctive? Who has ever suggested a workable system of election or any practical or practicable scheme for abolishing the hereditary char- acter of this body and substituting some other? There is no pretense that any such gcheme has been brought forward. Till it has, says Lord Salisbury, I stand by things as they are. The present scheme is not per- fect, but it works well. If you add, and the general conservative conviction that it works well, Lord Salisbury's personal partiality for the hereditary principle as a principle, you begin to get some measure of the difficulties which stand in the way of reforming the House of Lords, and of abolishing or seriously modifylng its hereditary basis. FRENCH VICTORIES IN MADAGASCAR. The French in Madagascar have won two “victorles” over the Hovas, or else announced one victory twice over. They defeated, if we may belleve the telegrams, 6.000 Hovas with & French 1oss of no killed and (hree wounded. 1t does not sound very glorious, but we may put it In the other xcale 0 Freneh sol- diers dead or in the hospital from fever, Even then the cause of republicanism in Burope does not gain much from the spectacle of Madagascar, or from the freebooting prac- ticed on that island under the republican flag. It may be a question whether it gains much more from the subscrviency of France and Russia, or whether the coming visit of President Faure (o the czar will add much to the dignity or prestige of France through- out Burope. President Faure {s a self-lnvited guest. He will be recelved with splendor, no doubt, and with every kind of ceremontul observances which may flatter French vanit, Bat the position of dependence which Frane ocoupies toward Russia will remain the same. Oddly enough, it is from Germany that the volce conies that may do somothing to soc neh susceptibilitles on th: subject, Th M Kreuz Zeitung of Ber)ia has been publishing an alarmist article on the immineacs of & Buropean war, and saylng that the trumpet vote which will sumwmen the vast armies to the ficld will come, not from St. Petersburg but from Parls; in other words, the decidivg volce In hostilities is to ba French, und not Russian. The French must have read that with delight, but it cannot be true.

We are in full autumn, w'n- ter is near, and no ruler In his senses or with any knowledge of what modern war really means will precipitate a winter cam- palgn. The Kreuz Zeitung is a sober sort of paper, but these ecpidemics of war alarms break out in the most unexpected quarters. BETWEEN POPE AND PREMIER. The friends of the pope and the friends of Signor Crispi have each been making a demenstration in favor of their hero, or sup- plying each, as it were, with a testimonial. A million of messages, eays a papal organ published in Rome, have been tent to his hell ness and expressions of sympathy with him and of protest against the recent festivals in cormemoration of Itallan unity. Some of them were telegraphic, and the majority came probably by post. There are 8,000,000 of faithful Catholics in the United States alone, but cable rates re high, and even postage is sometimes prohihitive. .\ million of sages from all over the world is, nevertheless, a remarkable number. Remarkable in a less degree are the 40,000 signatures in Signor Criepi’s album in re nge to the personal attacks on him. Neither his enemies nor his friends believe in the personal attacks. The Italian prine minister is an honor- able man as well as a statesman of genuine genius, The same may be sald of the pope, and the pity of it all is that between two tuch mes- men, each representing vast political terests and genuine convictions, no modus viverdi can be arranged. The real obstacles are not political, but ecclesiastical. It is the shadow of St. Peter's that darkens the path from the Vatican to the Quirinal DUNRAVEN STILL WILLING.

I have heard this sald many times during the past | week by men of authority in the yachting | world, but being pressed for reasons none is | given. Perhaps it has its only basis in the | | tion is held in almost superstitious veneration by a nation which worships what is the most exclusive, next to the Jockey club associa- tion of the country, admittance to which is valued by rich and even noble of England as an honor hardly to be understood by demo- cratic America. Membership in the Royal Yacht squadron is the fondest hope of every aspiring rich commoner, and even of noble- men who are not in the really haut ton of their own rank. The Royal Victoria Yacht club, to which Mr. Rose seems to have gained admission only very recently, as I do not find his name in the last club list, is a very respectable organization and disputes with | the Thames the second rank afier the Royal Yacnt squadron, but in the estimation of the | British in general, as well as the yachting | world, it is a very inferior one to it in social or technical position. It is at present, at habit of the squadron to “pill" even an avail- able candidate at several elections before final success, possibly as an exhibition of its ex- clusiveness. As already noted in this corre- spondence, Mr. Clarke, the owner of Satanita, STILL RANKLES IN LONDON. Since the manly confession of high English authorities on yachting of Lord Dunraven's unsportsmanlike conduct, which I cabled last week, there has been a recrudescence of bit- ter comment in the newspapers, helped along by the London Times' New York correspond- ence, which has lately been very hostile to the that a Mr. C. D. Ttose sent over a challenge for America's cup will create none of the sat- isfaction in this country that it is said to produce in New York. There was every rea- son to hope that after the recent fiasco no British yachtsman would take a vessel across | the Atlantic to challenge for the cup until conditions had been placed on a fair footing, the new and illegal deed of gift canceled, equitable rules and conditions laid down, and, bove all, arrangements made for raccs to be sailed over a course far removed from any large town, and admitting of a fair trial of speed, uninterrupted and undisturbed. On this point it seemed that British yachtsmen .| were unanimous, and to say the least, it is extraordinary that a challenge should have been thus hastily dispatched by a gentleman whoso name is little known in yachting cir- cles, even before Lord Dunraven has left the states. Given in such a way a challenge would seem a reflection on the course pursued by Lord Dunraven, a thorough sportsman and one of the keenest and most enthusastic vachtsmen. There is probably no cheaper way to obtain notoriety than to build a large racing yacht, and so long as yachts simply raco in Dritish waters, as it promotes sport, no one grudges the notoriety so gained. When, however, It comes to a vessel claiming to represent British yachting in an interna- tional contest and a challenge is given under such circumstances as those now existing, the verdict of English yachtsmen on the af- fair will be all but unanimously hostile,” This feeling may possibly end in the with- drawal of Mr. Rose's challenge.

ON JUDE FOWLEY'S CONDUCT. The. allegation hav'ng beei p: b ely this week that the edito's of Harpes's Mag- azine had offensively emasculited Thomas | Hardy's serial story, “Hesrts Insurgent,” as left out an ‘mpo-tant ehapter in “Tes o on moral grounds, Mr. Hardy writes that “iittle or nothing has ben omit ed or modified without my knowledge, though I | failed to se> th: nccessity for sowe of the alterations, if for any.” Mr, Hardy recently explained to me that the most se-jous al era t'on !nsisted on by the editors was cne mak ffai s, and, in | made ing his hero marry an unworthy woman | merely for j alousy, berauss she to1d him of | a rival, while real mot've, as origirally written, was that the girl falsely persuaded him she wa: cn the verge of d'sgrace from their Intimacy. As the hero is throughout represented as a man who s the s'ric est slave to duty and generally of an elevated | nature, the motive as €o far published was ridiculously inconsistent. Mr. Hsr'y tells me he will ristore the orignal chap'er in the pubiish:d book. The ‘ntent to the novel as a wholo is to show how the universities of O ford and Cambridgs, founded for pior scholars, have ben perv.rt'd from the pur- | poses of the'r founder: and how hope ess w re the efforts of a worthy mechanic without in- | fluence to obtaln adm’ssion witkin the walls at one of their colleg’s, CHURCHILLS CAPTURE CASH. The engagement of the duke of Marlborough to Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt prominently di- rects attention to the fact that he is main- taining the record of the Churchill family, unique even in the British aristocracy, for marrylng money. The first marriage of the late duke was the only exception in two gen- erations, but he atoned for this divergency from the rule by his secopd wuion with Lily Hammersley. Lord Randolph Churchill got a fortune with Miss Jerome, and -all his six sisters, aunts of the present.duke, made wealthy matches.

It sbould be added that in every case these unions have proved happy, and no leading titled family has given less material for sociely gogsip.

ONLY DEAD WHITE: Some Still Clatm that the xe Ix Not Cholera. SAN NCISCO, Sept. 28.—The bark- entine 8. G. Wilder arrived today and brought the first authentic advices from Honolulu received for two weeks. The Wilder sailed on September 11. The Associated press correspondent says: Sev- enty-two people have b:en attacked with cholera since the plague broke out. Of that number fifty-two have @ied, and but two white people wers among the victims. Dur- ing the last forty-eight hours but one new case has developed. It is belleved that the diszase is now in check and that it is only a matter of a few weeks when it will be totally eradicated. The citizens' sanitary movement already shows good results. A house to house inspection is made twice a day and all suspicious cases, are sent to the hospital. The natives will not report cases of sickness. They appear to be afraid of white doctors, who they claim will kill them. As @ result of almost suspended business, many Hawallans are out of work and there appears to be real distress among them. A relief station has been opened at which all natives may secure supplies of food and ralment. There 1s still some doubt as to the real the scourge. The majority of medical men agree that if is Asiatic cholera, but these are some who maintain that it is a purely local disease. Many of the cases have been traced and with few exceptions the practice of eating raw fish has been re- sponsible for the sickness. Thy sale of fish from the harbor has been prohibited. A quarantine by other Islapds is still main- tained against Honoluln. Provisions are growing short outside of this ity and it is believed that steamers will ba chartered at San Francisco to load for Hilo on Hawafi and Kathulai on Maul.

LONDON, Sept. 28.—Reform of the House two days, become While noth- or in the a topic of principal discussion. ing may come of it immediately near future, the vigor with which the subject | | Is being handled in the pr ss and publio ad- dresses Indicates that the leaven is working which will ultimately give the House of Lords a semblance of a representative cham- ber. The speech of the marquis of London- derry at a banquet at Ripon last night, in which he admitted that the House of Lords is susceptible of improvement, and expressed the hope that the unionists would grapple with the question, was heartily welcomed by the unionist press and appears to confirm the statement published in the Daily Chron- icle yesterday morning that the conservative leaders contemplated introducing a measure in favor of the reform of tne House of Lords. It is suggested, however, that there is a possibility that this is another scheme ema- nating from Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamber- lain, with a view to further “dishing” the radicals. The latter, however, would consent to no reform which would leave the House of Lords in existence, wita the power of reject- ing or modifying measures adopted by the | House of Commons. It is thought possible, however, that the radicals might be in- duced to accept as an alternative of abolition me reform measure which would leave the Lords the mere power of referendum to the people regarding any bill which they might | decline to accept. MONTAGUE AGAINST ROTHSCHILDS. There is trouble in the Jewish colony over Lord Rothschild’s scheme to build a colossal synagogue clergy house and Jewish settle- ment in Whitechapel at a cost of $200,000. Sir Samuel Montague declares that he will oppose the scheme to the utmost. White- chapel is already congested with Jews and rents there are as high as in Mayfalr. It would be unnecessary, says Sir Samuel, while the government Is meditating anti-alien legis- latlon to attract still more Jews to London. It would be far better, he thinks, to try to induce the Jews to leave England for some of the colonies b2yond the ocean. The Court Journal draws the attention of Parliament to a scandal which has already been dealt with by Emperor William, as the expenses of regimental life in England render it impossible for any but the wealthy to put their sons in the army.

M. Pasteur died at Garchas, near Cloud, in the environs of this city. Louis Pasteur had suffered from paralysis for a considerable period of time. About eight days ago he sustained a violent par- alytic stroke, and yesterday suffered still another severe attack. He grew worse rap- idly and remained in a comatose condition during his last hours. At 5 o'clock this after- noon he expired. The death was absolutely without pain. His wife devotedly watched St. Prof. at his bedside. His son, his physician, his daughter and his son-in-law, M. Vallery Radott, and two grandchildren, as well Dr. Roux and Dr. Chantmesse, were present when he passed away. It is believed that the funeral of M. Pasteur will be national in its character, Prof. Louis Pasteur has been gradually failing in health for some months, and re- cently the French papers announced the be- ginning of the end. This report was em- phatically denied by his family and friends They acknowledged the feeble condition of the distinguished bacteriologist, but at- trubuted it to local rather than to general causes. Louis Pasteur was born at Dole, Jura, De- cember 27, 1822; entered the University in 1840; became a supernumerary master of studies at the College of Benancon; was re- ceived as a pupil in the Ecole Normale in 1843, taking the decree of doctor in 1847, and was appointed professor of physics at the Faculty of the Sciences, Strashurg, in 1848. At the end of 1854 he was intrusted as dean with the organization of the newly Faculty of Sciences at Lille, and in 1 turned to Paris and undertook the ‘“scien- tific direction” of the Ecole Normale. In December, 1863, he was appointed professor of geology, physics and chemistry at the Beole des Beaux-Arts, and was elected a member of the Institute. The Royal soclety of London in 1856 awarded M.

In 1874 the National Assembly accorded to M. Pasteur, as a reward chiefly for his in- vestigations on fermentation, a life annuity of 12,000 francs. He was raited to the rank of | grand officer of the Legion of Honor Octobar 24, 1878 His reception to the French academy took place April 27, 1882, when he delivered a panegyric on M. Littre, to whose chair he had succeeded. In the same year the coun- cil of the Society of Arts awarded the Albert medal of the society to M. Pasteur for his | researches in connection with fermentation, the preservation of wines and the propagation silkworms and of zymotic discase in mestic animals Of late years M. Pasteur has devoted him- selt to the study of Incculation for dis other than smallpox, and has achieved very remarkable results in the prevention of hydrophobia, patients from all parts of E rope and even from America traveling to | Paris to put themselves under his care. Large sul riptions were raised in France to form an “Institute Pasteur,” where the methods of the great discoverer could be practiced and taught. On July 1, 1889, a meeting was convened at the Mansion house in London for the purpose of hearing statements by Sir James Paget 1 others in favor of establishing a Pasteur Institute in England. The prince of Wales contributed 100 guineas toward that object. Pasteur Institute was also established in America under the direction of the puplls of Pasteur, for the purpose of affording relief to Americans who could spare neither the time nor money to make the trip to Europe for the purpose of placing themselves directly under the care of the great chemist. The cholera epidemic in 1892 led M. Pasteur to institute experiments in anti-cholera vaccina- tlons, which proved successful in the case of animals. On December 27, 1892, M. Pasteur’s 70th birthday was enthusiastically celebrated before a Tepresentative official assembly at the Sorbonnme. April 21, a mural tablet was unveiled in his honor at the Echole Normale Last May considerable comment was caused by M. Pasteur refusing a decoration tendered him by the German emperor. The declina- tion was generally applauded by the French papers, but was condemned by the German press and some of the medical and scientific magazines, the ground being taken that the drawing of national lines in this manner would have a tendency to retard the advance- ase some ment of science, ENGLAND HAS A LL, T0O. Warm We er of the Luxt Week n Record Breaker for Misery (Copyrighted, 1895, by the Assoclated Press.) LONDON, Sept. 28.—The extraordinarily hot weather has eclipsed all other toples in England this week. On Tuesday the ther- mometer indicated 86 degrees in the shade in London, and 135 in the sun. The record is 20 degrees above the. average and 4 degrees higher than on any previous day of this summer. The weather since Tuesday has shown little improvement, the mercury on each day rising to 84 dezrees or higher. There have been numerous cases of sun- stroke during the week, and several fatali- ties have resulted In various parts of the country. At Newmarket, where the first October race meeting opened on Tuesday, the heat has been terrible, 40 degrees in the shade having been recorded. This has had a disastrous effect upon the horses, and has greatly affected the attendance at the races. Only a handful of people wituessed the big race of the meeting on Thursday, the big Jockey Club stakes, in whicn last year's and this year's derby winners ran. The majority of men on the grounds followed the example which was set by Lord Rosebery and wore white flannel suits and carricd white um brel Throughout the country the suffer- ing from heat has been extreme. In many large factories it was found necessary to suspend work. In London thers has been a general abandonment of frock coats and tall hats, and straw hats and sults of the thinest { material have been adopted fn their stead. The great rush homeward of tourists from the United States seems to be over. None of the steamers which sailed this week was quite full. The Lahn took Mre. William Walter Phelps of New Jersey; Mr. Brander Matthews of New York; Mr. Norman Wil- liams and family of Chicago, and Mr. Clif- ford Johnson of Chicago.

TAKING A NEW TACK COhancellor Hohenlohe Will Abandon the Alliance with the Centrists, FORMING A NEW LEGISLATIVE MAJORITY 3 { Good Prospect of Seouring the Passage of Government Measures, PRINCE HOHENLOHE IN ILL-FAVOR AGAIN | Result of His Late Visit to St. Petersburg Given as the Cause, | RELATIONS OF THE COURTS STRAINED Actions and 8 % at the French Army M wered the Kaiser—| Not by the Assoclated Pross) 28.—Prince von Hohenlohe, the German fmperial chancellor, has aban- doned the attempt to secure a majority in the Reichstag through the aid of the centrist votes. The centrist party furnisbed ample proof last winter of being both irreconcil- able and unreliable, and Prince Bismarck's advice on this point is said to have changed the opinion that Prince von Hohenlohe form- erly held. Negotiations are now on foot be- tween the factions of the conservative party and the national liberals and moderates to secure coucerted action throughout the next | session of the Relchstag on the most vital of | the government measures. The movement, which is almost certain to succeed, will give the government a more stable majority than ever Chancellor von Caprivi had. Among the principal government measures which will be introduced at the coming ses- slon of the Reichstag are: For reform of the bourse; for the protection of mechanical trades against dishonest competition; for the relief of agriculture, and for the federation | ot husbandmen. In preparation for the two latter measures facts are being collected throughout the em- pire bearing on the subject of the agricul- tural depress which will be laid before (Copyrighted, 1895, BERLIN, Sept on, | the Reichstag. The government does not in- tend to introduce any new taxation bills at the approaching session. FOUND TRAITORS AT HOME. Among those who have been arrested in | connection with the discovery that secrets regarding the national defense were being sold to the French is a former Bavarian army officer, Ludwig Pfeiffer, in whose rooms in Berlin were found models and drawings of German defensive works and letters from the French military bureau. Al- together some fifteen arrosts have been made. The persons accused will be tried at Leipsic. The drawings and models seized are for the most part' descriptive of the new heavy ordnan and plans of fortifications, but three letters found are reported to have contained instructions from the War depart- ment at Paris itself. Two companies of ‘soldiers accompanied Emperor William to Rominton when he went thither upon his shooting expedition. Those soldiers serve as an imperial body guard, de- nying everybody access or near approach to tho emperor. This innovation is due to the fact that both at Potsdam and Stettin Em- perar Willilam recelved many threatening let- ters, apparently emanating from soclalists and anarchists, and that he was approached on several occasions by suspicious appearing | persons. | Emperor William has been having his usual sporting luck at Rominton. He killed twenty-three stags with his own hand on Thursday. He has ordered that St. Rupert's birthday, which occurs on November 3, shall be kept by a great chase in Grunewald, near Berlin, to which King Albert of Saxony is invited. Mr. R. Knille, representing R. G. Dun & ew York, has just completed a tour through Germany. He reports that exports from the United States into Germany are constantly increasing, especially in the lines of furniture and fruits. About 300 commer- clal travelers from the United States are now in this empire, preparing to open up fresh channels of trede for American made goods, and are meeting with a reasonable measure of success. HOHENLOHE IN ILL-FAVOR. The relations between Emperor William and Prince Hoh*nlohe are £o strained that it would not be surprising if there should be a new ine cumbent of the imperial chancellorship before the expiration of a year from the date the prince was appointed to the office, October 29, 1894, The visit of Prince Hohenlohe to St. Pes tersburg, the early part of this month, had proved an unfortunate one for him officially, however it may have result:d pecuniari’y It was alleged at the time that the chan- cellor's errand, while primarily of an of- ficlal nature, had also a personal object, Prince von Hohenlohe desiring to obtain per- mission from the czar that his wife might hold the estates in Russia of her deceased brother, Prince Savn-Wittgenstein, which are gald to be worth 50,000,000 marks. The ad- vances which the German imperial chancellor made on this occasion to the Russian govern= ment were no more favorably received than | others which had preceded th'm, and the fact that under such circumstances Prince Hohenlohe should have asked & personal favor of the czar has, according to current report, greatly angered Bmperor William. In this connection it may be added that the effusiveness of the exchange of compli- ments between Prince Lobanoff, the Russian minister of foreign affairs and General Drag- omliroft on the one side and President Faure and the French ministers and army officers on the other. at the recent army maneuvers on the Vosges have not softened the feelings of Emperor William towards the Russians, There s, indeed, a decidely strained feeling at present existing between the two courts and two nations, The traflic of the Baltle ¢ nal has not de- veloped in & way to meet the expectations of its promoters. Owing to numerous ac- cidents, and the high toll charged, only 700 vessels passcd tirough the canal during the month of August. The fact that a still higher scale of charges Is going into effect on Tuesday, .October 1, is likely to further re- duce the trafic through the canal. The gov= ernment, however, appears to be confident of the ultimate success of the canal, for it has refused to accede to the appeals of the Stettin and Kiel Chambers of Commerce for a reduction in the schedule of rates, The government hLas declded to appoint a naval commission to inquire fnto the conditions ot trarsit through the canul, especlally trom a milltary polnt of view.
