THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 17, 1896. ERVIOUS EYES UPON HUNGARY, Barbarians Who Expect the Czar to Wipe Out the Nation. AFTER THE CORONATION | Many Significant Events May Happen in Europe As a Result of Plotting. TALK OF A FRENCH MONARCHY In England the Belief Grows That Mr. Chamberlain Deliberately Provokes the Boers.

One gathers only vaguely from the reports that refreshments are free at this aamir- able place, but explicit mention is made of the fact that gratis tickets to the opera and theaters are provided. Bach journal- ist has a solid silver badge to wear on his coat, and finds & bewildering number of vrinces, generals and other exalted swells told off to entertain him. No newspaper man has ever seen anything like it beforé. The arrival in Moscow of young Prince Louis, who is hereafter to be called “General Bonaparte,” is announced in the various dispatches, although much greater personages are reaching the city daily without mention. This seems to indicate the existence of a suspicion in Moscow of week ago—that the Russian court intends by the expedient of paying exceptiona attention to this youth to give the French peovle a broad hint which side their bread is buttered on. Tt is quite intelligible that the Russians should have grown tired of seeing France a republic and should weicome the notion of supplanting it by the restoration of some sort of monarchy, imperial for choice. If they should say so piginly and should put this Bonaparte forward osten- tatiously as their favorite, it will be very interesting to see how the French take it. The recent municipal elections in ¥rance showed some slight monarchical gains, though not enough to bg significant in themselves. It is important, however, to note that in a number of districts the re- actionaries worked in an underhand alli- | ance with the Socialists, just as they did when Boulangerism was at the height of its career. There is an open split in the Orleans | family over this development, about which | we shall probably hear a good deal during the next few weeks, but it is not unlikely | when all is said and done that the Duke of | Orleans and his mutinous cousin, Prince | Henri, wall turn out to have a shell each, | and that Louis Bonaparte will be in pos- session of the oyster. Baron Hirsch’s will, after confirming Jewish and other philanthropic bequests arranged in his lifetime, really leaves the rest of his vast fortune to a natural daugh- ter of his dead son.

It is rarelv used nowadays. Here, however, the young couple are to spend two d of solemn religious re- treat preparatory to the grand state entry into Moscow on Thursday, when they will take up their residence in the Kremlin. Thence forward till Tuesday, when the actual coronation will take place, all the assembled thousands of princes, envoys, notabilities and delegates have more or less part in the complicated ceremonial by which the chief event is ushered in, and tbey are all to remain through the following tweive days of re- ceptions, fetes and balls, which end on the departure of the conrt for St. Petersburg on June 7.

It says, doubtless with truth, that bicycling has become as important as literature or art, on the superiority of American models over the English ones, and warns the Brit- ish manufacturers that unless they reduce seven pounds heavier than the best Amer- ican types, and adopt the American with the Americans. straits to which thousands of the lady class in England are driven to keep body and soul genteelly together, but rarely does such a curious example come to the surface as is afforded now by the decision of the House of Commons kitchen com- mittee hereafter to have feminine waiters orative theory, this change should have been resolved, [ am unable to guess.

Now ladies have taken to flocking there in great numbers to afternoon tea. The whole character of the place has allowed it, so that the introduction of waitresses will be only a minor innovation. It is suid that the committee was literally over- whelmed with applications for places as soon as the contemplated change was an- nounced, and that a big proportion of these came from ladies who explained that formeriy they had been independent, but now are in reduced circumstances.

Harorp FREDERIC. KRUGER SAYS * THANKS.” But He Will Follow the Inquiry Promised by Chamberlain With In- . terest. PRETORIA, SourH AFrricA, May 16.— President Kruger has replied to the dispatch recently sent by, “SMr. Chamberlain, British Colonial Secre- tary, to Sir Hercules Robinson, Governor of Cape Colony, and commu- nicated to Pretoria, wherein Mr, Chamber- lain promised that a full inquiry should be made into the affairs of the British South Africa Company and expressed sympathy with Madame Kruger, who is ill. In his reply President Kruger says: “The Government of the South African Republic is glad to receive assurance that full inquiry will be made into the allegations against the British South Africa Company and its directors. The Government will follow the inquiry with interest. Thanks for your expressions of sympathy for my wife,who is improving.” S Gt AFFAIRS OF HAWAIL A New Loan for Almost a Million Soon to Be Placed. HONOLULU, Hawar, May 9.—Senator McCandless’ substitute for Damon's re- funding bill was lost yesterday with all proposed amendments. Damon’s bill re- mains tabled, and is anlikely to be taken up. The measure is new to the public, and is thought to need longer considera- tion before consent is given for a large dis- count on bonds. The proposed new loan for public im- provements is acceptable and will prob- ably be placed at Honolulu at 5 per cent. Prominent Senators believe that the public needs will justify a loan of $900,000, to be expended in two years. Roads especially bring large income to the treasury by re sulting increase of taxable valuables. For a like reason it is very serionsly proposed to proceed at once to open Pearl Bar, in- stead of waiting for the United States to do it. Property on the harbor will im- mediately advance immensely in value, Rev.

ROTTERDAM, Horraxp, May 16.—The dock iaborers’ strike 1n this city is rapidly spreading, 6000 men in all having already quit work because of a reduction of wages. The National Guard has been called out and three gunboats are lying opposite the city in readiness for action should their services be required to protect the ship- ping. Fifty steamers have been detained on account of the strike. Fugitives From Egypt. . LONDON, Exc., May 16.—The Chronicle will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Trieste saying that 134 fugitives from Alexandria, Egypt, have arrived there on board the steamer Semiramis. They de clare that cholera is severe in Alexandria. P STEEL RAILS FOR JAPAN. They Will Be Shipped From a Mill in Wisconsin. Bayview mills of the Illinois Central Com- pany are furnishing the steel rails for a railroad in the land of the Mikado. The steamer P. Sawyer is loading 500 tons of light steel rails at the rolling-mill docks, which will be taken by lake to Buffalo and | there transhipped to New York, where they will be loaded on a steamer for Japan. The consignee is the China and Japan Trading Company of Japan. The Illinois Steel Company has shipped several consignments of rails to yapan,mz this is the first shipment by lake and rail and isin the nature of an experiment. It | was reported that the steamer would go di- rect to the East, but thisis untrue. . Colonel Cockerill’'s Remains. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 16.—The re- mains of the late Colonel Cockerill arrived this morning on the steamer Campania from Liverpool. The body was met at the pier by a committee appointed by the New York Press Club, representing the Loyal Legion, the Elks #nd the Masons. After services it will be laid in the receiving vault of Kensico Cemetery until Tuesday, 8t. Louis for interment. - Fought in the Sanctum. LEXINGTON, Kv., May 16.—Hon. Mil- ton Durham, Comptroller of the Treasury under President Cleveland, and Hon. John O.

The latter struck Durham several times in the ribs.
