Suspicion That the Bluffing of China Concealed Other Motives. WORSE TROUBLES IN EUROPE. England May Be Compelled to Doa Little Free Fighting for the Triple Alllance. [Copyright, 1895, by the New York Times.] LONDON, Exc The prevalent sense of an impe disturbance with last week closed has had its prompt d emphatic justification. England, it was felt, had become ready to substitute words, and was on the point of blow somewhere. Asitturned iltaneously with both ration of naval force r ultimatum to the Chinese a surrender of the it monopolized p ne particularly noticed 5 th d much less dra ic for- w movement of another British fieet to e Hellespont. e, for bout the Med- ut then isorder and tamboul, and of popular in- ym Asia to Europe, eek has been given entirely to re sions, sen- nal ramors and predictions about the rn question.

Lord Salisbury, on -succeeding to the Foreign Office, felt in duty bound to make best show of continuous Eastern icy that he could, but his party was under no such obligations, and the Tory papers began at once to change their tone about the Armenians. To-day the Times, among them, remains almost alone in g to see the Porte humiliated and Mesopotamian Christians exalted. Its contemporaries now have correspondents in Constantinople who reflect théir readers’ views and p: the Armenians in as bad a light as possible. while the radical press get reports after their own heart, which make every Moslem a demon and every Levantine Christian a suffering angel. Bo the English parties are being released from theartificial restrainst of the hybrid Rosebery-Kimberly foreign policy and swung back into the natural positions which Disraeli and Gladstone marked out for them twenty years ago. It can be seen that all this will not sim- | | is prepared to proceed to the length of plify Lord Salisbury’s very puzzling task. His private predilections are those of his party. s personal notion of sending a fleet to the mouth of the Dardanelles would be to warn off Russia and not to ter- ify the Sultan, and yet he finds himself nominally working with Russia and using British men-of-war against the Turk to further aims which are ostensibly Russia’s as much as England’s. If it were not so full of sinister possibilities this position.of affairs would set all Europe roaring with laugbter. It is funnier than farce, but gomehow no one smiles. This comedy has no easy-minded spectators. Its audience of to-day may all be called to the stage as actors to-morrow, and the burlesque may give place to a tragedy. The visible facts are that Kiamil Pasha, to whom the Sultan turned in his despair, is the English nominee, and it is believed that he may be trusted to follow the lines that Sir Philip Currie lays down and that Turkish officialdom has shown itself able to deal, after its own fashion, wi dis- in the metropolis. All else is un- in. Parisians pretend to believe that inglish furnished the Armenians with revolvers and bribed them to provoke riot in order to create a pretext for the British leet to enter the Dardanelles, and the comment of other Continental papers is, if less spiteful, scarcely more illuminating. Nobody, 1n truth, understands his own position, much less that of his neighbors, in this dense fog of cross-purposes and clashing interests. There is nothing for it but to stand still and wait for daylight or the guiding light of detonators. The Triple Alliance performs this wait- ing with a certain alertness of perception, but no active concern. It is England’s affair to get on as best she can in the curi- so definite in outline and | 4 to ous embroglio which she has fixed up for herself, and to manage her new quarrel with her old friend Turkey and her new vartnership with her old enemies—Russia and France—on her own hook. If she emerges from the entanglement peacefully things will be as they were. If, on the other hand, matters come to blows Eng- land will be in the position of doing gratis work which the Triple Alliance exists for the sole purpose of having done. This prospect of seeing England doing some- thing for nothing greatly warms the Ger- man heart, and will not fail of apprecia- tion in Vienna and Rome. Of course, in such an event, which a week’s occurrences bring within the range of practical possi- bilities, England will not necessarily re- main single handed. She will have merely to pay a long price for help. Although the probability of amuch more threatening complication of the Chinese matter has been thrust completely in the background by the turmoil on the Bos- phorus it is perfectly understood among the well informed that the business of ob- taining redress for the missionary massa- cres forms only a slight, perhaps the slightest, part of the British fleet’s mission. The ultimatum of which so much was made on paper, and before which the Chi- nese seem to grovel so promptly, is even suspected of being a kind of dummy de- mand. The Viceroy whose degradation was demanded and conceded with such facility had been already degraded a year before and was only remaining at his post lear up his accounts. Thisis being represented as a fine joke at England’s ex- pense, but I am assured that it was quite understood between the British and Chi- nese officials and was intended merely as a mask for an understanding of a far broad- r and more important nature. teports of a more curious character are beginning to circulate among people who are generally described as in diplomatic circies ‘about the' German Emperor. ' I find five or six public men, all more or less in touch with German affairs, who have heard within the past fortnight different stories about him, which seem to indicate that he is passing through another one of those queer mental spells of his. Hisaf- fection from his earliest boyhood for his charming brother, Henry, has been writ- ten much of, and now he has quarreled with him, and it is said that on the qestion of naval management Henry has quitted Germany under conditions not easily dis- tinguishable from banishment. Minor eccentricities are related which, if at all true, amply warrant what is heard of the popular apprehension and distrust in Germany. This is the most anxious period that Europe has known for a long time, and to have any of the many vital is- sues at stake in hands not under abso- lutely calm control necessarily increases the general disquietude, but Germany has, on the whole, more to risk or lose by war than anybody else, and it is quite intelli- gible that rumors of this sort should fill her with special alarm.. However, it may. be remembered that they were heard often before, and that no harm resulted. Again the referendum in Switzerland has worked in a way to disappoint those who hoved most from it. The conditions of the match trade in the republic have. long constituted a public sea ndal; compe tition having driven wages to the starva- tion point, and, what is much worse, beaten down all safeguards against phos- phoric poisoning among the workers, which there is at its worst. factory inspection did no good and finally it was decided by a large majority of the Legislature that the true remedy lay in the Government taking over the manufacture as a monopoly. This was re- ferred to the popular vote with the result that only half of the electorate took the trouble to vote and that a few progressive, educated cantons like Basle and' Zurich, which supported the - project, were overwhelmed by the rural parts. The French districts are especially against it and in the very communes where phossy- jaw among match-workers had become a terrible and chronic scourge the owners of small factories were able to pile up im- mense majorities against the proposal. The result, like that on the Jewish killing of cattle, has furnished a text for a good deal of smart writing on the general sub- ject of universal suffrage. The South Carolina convention receives considerable attention in the cable dis- patches and the general tone of British comment is dispassionately casual, but the Daily News, which went into hysterics over Ida Wells’ anti-lynching crusade and since then has been the chief bleater in the Armenian chorus, takes the Palmetto State sternly by the ear. The value of itsopinions may be gleaned by its belief that the constitutionality of ssippi’'s earlier experiment in limit- ing the black vote has not been brought to test before the Supreme Court because the negroes are too poor to find money for lawyer's bills, but about the earnestness of its emotions there can be no doubt. It re- calls proudly that it always championed the human rights of the negro in America, and adds: “The Daily News will cham- pion his civil rights as well.” Whether it armed intervention is not clear, but at any rate South Carolina ought to know that the Daily News is watching it. At last it seems that the ancient project oi driving a broad new thoroughfare from Holborn to the Strand is actually going under way. The scheme now adupted will sweep away the Tudor slum of Clare Mar- ket and also weed out Holliwell street, but preserve both of the old churches in the Strand. Its cost, without provision for the rehousing of 4000 people thus torn up by the route, will be over $10,000,000. As an example of the delays which re- tarded this improvement, it is related that in 1867 a big theatrical manager intended taking a site in the district involved to build a theater. and was privately warned by an official friend that the new street was certain to be made across the property in question during the coming year. There is a rumor about among some of my friends that William Ernest Henley is to be made poet lanreate. It is a selection which always seemed to be the most fitting to me, if Swineburne must be excluded, but that surely is no reason why it should be, and Henley has a certain Johnsonian intractability, not to say mulishness of temperament, which it is "difficult to imagine politicians find admirable. Edwin Arnold would be more in their form. The Duke of Marlborough’s old family solicitor sailed for America to-day to assist in drawing up his marriage settlements in the Midlands. A friend tells me that a firnn bustle of preparation has begun at lenheim, among other things the huge gleasure lakes on the demesne being redged and cleaned, a work which will cost. $30,000, and which, owing to the chronic state of this particular ducal purse, was not done before for ninety years. < AROLD FREDERIC, LIBERTY ENLIGHTENING THE WORLD HAS TURNED HER TORCH TOWARD CUBA.

In other words, the tenor of the message was ‘‘business before pleasure,” and it now appears that the railroad people will have plenty to look after while here. Besides the inspection of all the lines and grades, they will locate and take the first steps looking to the erection of a division roundhouse and machine and repair shops. The road has progressed now so far that the machine-shops are needed, and it is understood here that as soon as the loca- tion is decided upon and plans drawn bids on the work will be called for. There is every reason to believe that work on the shops and roundhouses will be under way soon. Both are needed, and judging from the management displayed in other de- partments of the work the directors will not let a necessity go unsatisfied. A special meeting of the commercial as- sociation will be held Manday evening in order that the directors may discuss the location of the shops with the business men of the city. 3 2 % The mechanics bere are well pleased with the outlook for work this winter, as it is the custom of the Valley railroad people to favor home firms and laborers wherever possible. - WITH ALL DUE HONOR Funeral Services Over the Body of Profes- sor Pasteur.

[Reproduced from a photograph.] - services over the body of Professor Louis . Pasteur took place in the Cathedral of Notre Dame to-day. About 9 o’clock this morning the first group of delegates arrived in the Rue Dutot in front of the Pasteur institute, where the body has been lying in state, and thereafter there was a steady stream of ‘people come to take part in the ob- sequies. At 1 o’clock the clergymen of the parish church said prayers over the coffin, which was then placed in the hearse. The Re- publican Guard headed the procession, and were ‘followed by General Saussier, Mili- tary Governor of Paris, and his staff, with a numerically strong military escort. Then came the delegates from the Alsatian so- cieties, the various municipalities and trades, followed by delegations of monks and students, all of them bearing impos- ing wreaths. Five floral cars were in the procession, all of them covered with wreaths. The band of the Republican Guard played a dirge as the procession started for the cathedral. The hearse, drawn by six horses, was fol- lowed by M. Pasteur’s son, his son-in-law and his grandson. Then came the Presi- dent of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, Premier Ribot and M. Travieux, Minister of Justice, followed by the leading foreign diplomats and an unending line of generals, admirals and lesser military and naval officers; a dele- gation of members of the French Acad- emy, including Coppe, the celebrated litterateur; M. Paul Bourget, the poet ana novelist; M. Leon Say, the famous econo- mist; red-robed Judges, physicians, and representative members of every profes- sion. The procession was about a mile long and its rear guard was composed of a troop of cavalry. The route near the Pasteur In- stitute was lined with silent crowds of men and women who made the sign of the cross as the'body passed by. As the hearse reached the cathedral of Notre Dame wreaths were placed in the square. The priests connected with the late M. Pasteur’s parish left the coffin at the church door and it was then taken in charge by the priests attached to the cathe- dral. Prince Lobanoff - Rostovsky, Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs; Baron Moh- renheim, Russian Embassador; United States Embassador Eustis and Lord Duf- ferin, British Embassador, arrived in car- riages. Newton Eustis, secretary of the United States Embassy, and Commander Rogers, naval attache of the United States Embassy, walked in the procession. At noon President Faure arrived and passed under the mourning drapery which concealed the facade of the church. The Grand Duke Constantine of Russia and Prince Nicholas of Greece, were already in the church. Abbe Marie celebrated the mass and the choir sang the liturgy. In the meantime the catafalque was hastily erected in the center of the square, and a draped rostrum, from which M. Poincare, Minister of Public Instruction, delivered a funeral oration, was also erected. Archbishop Richard pronounced absolu- tion. after the mass. President Faure walked out of the cathedral between Grand Duke Constantine and Prince Nicolas and listened to M. Poincare’s eulogy of M. Pasteur, in which: he reviewed the scientist’s career and lauded his modesty, valor and charity. Dense masses of people filled the square. The troops defiled half an hour before the coffin, and the body was then placed in the vault of the cathedral in the presence of the family. BUSTAMENTE'S ARREST. Will Be Punished for AU the Faults of Ezeta. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 5.—A special cable dispatch from San Salvador says: Colonel Florentino Bustamente, arrested recently on board the steamer City of Syd- ney by the Salvadorean authorities at Puerto La Libertad, will be delivered to the local authorities. He is accused of robbery, incendiarism and other crimes. Bustamente says his arrest was an outrage and while he was on board the Sydney he was under the pro- tection of the Americen flag, and while in San Francisco last year, together with Ezeta and other Salvadorean refugees, he was tried, but there was not sufficient evidence to cause his extradition back to Salvador. It is believed that President Gutierrez will punish Bustamente for all the crimes charged to Ezeta and his party, and will order Bustamente shot. It is generally believed that Bustamente has been sacrificed by Antonio Ezeta. He says the latter is without money, and was only able to leave San Francisco through advances made to him by a Spaniard, Manuel Casin, on whom Ezeta conferred the rank of general, and who paid Ezeta’s hotel and steamer fare. Sal- vador Rodriguez, Charge d’Affaires of Sal- vador in Mexico during Ezeta’s regime, has been compelled to leave the country secretly through persecution, because he was thought to be implicated in conspira- cies against the present administration. - WORRIED TO THE GRAVE. Suicide of @ Defendant in Two Breach of Promise Suits. GOUNCIL BLUFFS, Towa, Oct. 5— Frederick Leutzinger, one of the old resi- dents of this city, was found dead. in bed this morning, having committed suicide by taking-a dose of carbolic acid. The suicide was caused by worry over two breach of promise damage suits that were pending in the courts. Miss Clara Uhlen- holst of St. Louis asked $35,000 and Mollie Graham of this city asked for $25,000. Leutzinger was a- wealthy retired baker, who became complicated with the Graham woman sofme months ago. A few days ago she sent him word that she would kill him unless he sertled with her. PAID FOR LOST PROPERTY Mrs. Foltz Taught the English Steamship Officials a Lesson. An American Lady Lawyer Who Refused to Submit to Ship- wreck Without Damages. DENVER, Coro., Ocr. 5.—Mrs. Clara Shortridge-Foltz of S8an Francisco stopped off in Denver to-day while en route home after a vacation tour abroad. Mrs. Foltz left for Europe in June. She was accom- panied by her daughter, Miss Virginia Foltz, whom she took abroad for the pur- pose of having her voice tried before prominent French teachers, After touring the Continent they at- tempted to cross the English Channel on the steamer Seaford. When a part of the way across the boat collided with the freighter Lyon. There were aboard 355 passengers and the Seaford was sunk. All the passengers lost their baggage except- ing what they could carry in hand satchels, and Mrs, Foltz lost three large trunks filled with her handsome gowns and bric-a- brac and treasures which she had picked up during her tour on the Continent. Mrs. Foltz was told that she could not get a cent of damages. But the English officials did not take into consideration that she was an American woman and a lawyer as well, and she went before the mauagers of the company and demanded asettlement. She was paid in full for her property and the payment was promptly made, too. “In America railwvay and steamship companies areliable for damages in cases of wreck,”’ said Mrs. Foltz, in speaking of the matter, “and I pointed ‘out that the POWERS OF BISHOPS, One Important Themae at the Episcopalian Convention. DEPUTIES NOT AGREED. Secret Sessions of the Upper House Met With Some Opposition. REVISING THE CONSTITUTION, It Is Apparent That the Changes Cannot Be Completed This Session. MINNEAPOLIS, Mixx., Oct. 5.—For & a short sixty minutes to-day there wasa brilliant forensic display between those members of the lower house of the Episco~ pal convention who are opposed to the re- linquishment of any of its prerogative and the element that holds that the fathers of the church are entitlea to a little more lee- way and latitude than was given them a century ago. It was the same story of the first clause of the first paragraph of the new constitution, and a large number of delegates are fighting to replace the stipu- lation in the old constitution preventing the Bishops from pigeon-holing legislae tion coming up from below. It was not a threshing of old straw, howa ever, for amendment after amendment was presented until the venerable Judge Wilder of this State capped the climax by submitting a resolution to the following audacious effect: ““That s2 long as the House of Bishops shall hold its legislative sessions with closed doors the House of Bishops shall signify to the House of Deputies their ap- probation or disapprobation, the latter with objections in writing, in three days after the proposed act shall be reported ta them for concurrence.” This was the pending issue when the committee rose. The first section in ques- tion has been under debate for an entire day and two portions of days and seems to be no nearer a final vote than when it was originally presented on Wednesday. To still further complicate matters the House of Bishops has entered upon a revision of the new constitution and canons on its own account. The result will be that about the time the revised revision goestp to tha Bishops from the deputies another revised revision will come to the deputies from the Bishops. Just where the prospective changes wiil land the two houses neither Bishops nor deputies seem to know. The one thing apparent is that neither house can get through the volume in the two weeks of life that remain to the con- vention, and - there seems to be no other alternative than, after the wasting of much valuable time, the postponement of the is- sue to the convention of 1898. This will probably be beld in Louisville. Just as soon as the conveniion had ap« proved the creation of new dioceses in California, Maryland and Kentucky and the magnificent copy of the revised prayer- book, approved at the last convention, had been presented, the delegates took up the constitutional pamphlet and settled back in their seats to see what the day would bring forth. Rev. J. B. Harrison of Spring- fiela moved an amendment providing that each house should notify the other when there was any legislation to which they could not agree. ' This, he said, would put the two houses on an equality of privilege. Judge Wilder, in submitting his resolu~ tion, said that so long as the Bishops held their sessions with closed doors there was no reason why special prerogative should be granted to them. The deputies met with everything wide open; nobody knew what the Bishops were doing unless they chose to make it public themselves. The result was that the deputies were placed at a great disadvantage, and the insertion of the old-time clause was the only safeguard upon which they could make a stand. Delegate Fairbanks of Florida, who has already received the designation of the “‘Hoiman"' of the body, insisted in a vigor- ous speech thatit was decidedly unbecom- ing for them to attempt to hamper the Bishops. They should have confidence that the fathers of the church would do their work as honestly and as conscien- tiously as the deputies. He earnestly pro- tested against politics being brought into this matter. Rev. John 8. Lindsay of Massachusetts admitted that some people, and altogether too many, thought there were more con- cessions_in the new constitution than the Bishops were entitled to. This was a ques- tion that seriously affected their dignity. It was a threat that possibly the Bishops might get frightened and approve legisla- tion without proper consideration. In stirring tones he appealed to his hearers to manifest their confidence in the Bishops by voting down all the amendments. Dr. Elligtt of Maryland again brought B LEVISTRAUSS English law also covered this important point. A woman lawyer was something of arevelation to the English officials, and I have never felt better over any suit that I have won than I felt over my victory in this case.” —_—— Killed by a Flywheel.
