SYMPATHETIC CORRESPONDENCE . V
Telegrams Between, the Prince and the
Emperor—Bismarck Unable to be Re-
moved From His Present Surroundings.
Talk About Reconciliation.
BERLIN, Sep 27.-—-Herr Allers, an art-
ist, who is a close friend of the Bismarck
family, has arrived here from Kissengen.
He gives an unexpectedly discouraging re-
port of the prince’s condition. The most
formidable of Bismarck’s maladies, he
says, has been acute pneumonia. The
disease was not discovered by the physi-
cians until Bismarck’sEcondition had be-
come critical. The physicians and family
are exceedingly anxious and watch Bis-
marck constantly, as, although conval-
escing, he is very weak and quite liable to
a relapse, which must prove fatal. Ac
cording to Herr Aller’s report the old man
seems like a wreck. His splendid frame
has shrunk and his flesh has fallen off un~
:‘il his clothes hang in folds. He appears
as if fullya. head shorter than before his
illness. The princess is strongly opposed
to removing him to Frederichs'ruh. He,
however, is anxious to go home.
Count Lehndorflf, the emperor’s adju-
‘lant, has returned. from Kissingen, where
he was trying to arrange for an interview
between the emperor and Bismarck in the
near future. Bismarck’s physicians, the
princess, Count Herbert, and his brother-
iu-law, Count Rantzau, wish to have the.
meeting deferred until the prince shall re-
gain his strength. Nothing has been done,
therefore, towards fixing definitely a date
for the interview. .
It is now possible for the first time to
obtain the text of Emperor lViiliam’s tele-
l. raphic correspondence with Prince Bis-
marck. From Guens the emperor sent, on
Sept. 19, the following message to Kissin-
gen:
“I have, to my great .regret, only just
learned that your highness has gone re-
cently through a somewhat serious illness.
At the same time I have received the
wows, thank God, that you are making
steady progress towards recovery. I
therefore beg to express my great satisfac—
tion with this encouraging development.
Being anxious to assist in thoroughly
completing your recovery and establishing
your health, I beg your highness,,in view
of the unfavorable climate and location
of F redrichsruh, as well as Varzin, to take
up your quarters for the winter in one of
my castles. in central Germany. After
conferring with my court marshal I shall
communicate to your highuosa the names
of the castles which will be most suitable
to your purpose.”
Prince Bismarck’s reply to this dispatch
V138: '
“With the deepest respect I thank your
majesty for the gracious expression of your
sympathy with me in my illness and of
your satisfaction with the more-recent im-
provement of my health. I thank your
majesty no less for your gracious desire to
assist in furthering my recovery by provid-
ing for me a residence under the most fa-
vorable climatic conditions. My respectful
gratitude for your majesty’s gracious in-
u-ntions is in no way diminished by the
conviction that, should it be :God’s will
that I regain my health, my recovery would
be quickest in my family circle, in the sur-
rou-.dings to which I now have been so
long accustomed. My complaint being of
a nervous nature, I share the opinion of
in y doctor that if I pass the winter in my
“outed surroundings and occupations, my
mode of life will be the most likely means
of promoting my recovery. I agree with
my doctor also in the opinion that the dis-
:urbance of my nervous system, which
might result from a sojourn in strange
surroundings and new associations such as
Would be necessitated by your majesty’s
gracious wishes, is, in view Of my advanced
age, to be avoided. ’ Schweninger will take
the earliest opportunity to put in writing
these opinions, which I share with him.”

The House Committee on Banking and

Financial Schemes—Proposed Restric-
tion of Immigration.
\VASHINGTON, Sep. 27.—The Populist
senator from Kansas met somewhaé of a
defeat yesterday in having a. resolution of
his laid on the table by avote of 27 to 19.
It was a call on the treasury department
for information as to the anticipation of
interest on United States bonds since 1861,
information which Mr. Sherman said the
senator could obtain for himself in any
public library. Mr. Peifer intimated the
treasury department was trying; ti with-
hold information to which the peeps: ware
entitled, but Mr. ' Sherman’s view of the
case was‘accepted by the senate.
A resolution intended to have an impor-
tant bearing on the repeal bill was Offered
by Mr. Dubois, (Rep. Idaho,) proposing
that no legislation relating to the federal
election laws, the tariff or finance shall be
considered until January, 1894, when the
vacant seats from the states of Washington ,
Montana, and W‘yoming, may be filled.
The resolution went over until to—day when
Mr. Dubois is to speak upon it. After the
repeal bill was taken up, Mr. Perkins, (Rep.
Cal.,) made a speech against it, in which,
he declared himself a sincere believer in
the use and coinage of both gold and sil-
ver. It was Mr. Perkins’ first speech in the
senate, except a eulogy on his predecessor,
Mr. Stanford, and the impression made by
it was very favorable to the new senator.
The remainder of the day’s session was
occupied by Mr. Stewart, in continuation
of his remarks began on the previous day.
Mr. Stewart wound up his speech for
the day with a passionate indictment of
England as a monster that “stalked
through the country” breaking down the
that claimed to direct the legislation of
congress, and whose voice had been heard
last week, on the east front of the capitol,
rebuking the senate. The session was
closed with a personal explanation by Mr.
Morgan, (Dem. Ala.,) denying the imputa-
tion of unfriendliness between the presi-
dent and himself, and a short speech by
Mr. Voorhees, (Dem. Ind.,) eulogistic of
the president.
In the house the debate upon the federal
election repeal bill was not as exciting as
was expected. Mr. Tucker of Virginia,
who in Mr. Fitch’s absence is in charge of
the measure. delivered a carefully prepared
and wall considered speech upon the ques-
tion, devoting himself principally to the
constitutional points involved, although
he took occasion to make some reference to
John I. Davenport and his methods. Mr.
Brosius of Pennsylvania, replied, defending
the election laws. Without transacting
further business, the house adjourned.
The house committee on banking and
chrrency has decided to inaugurate a
series of hearings devoted to the subjects
of the bills on the committee calendar.
The first of these hearings-will be on Fri-
next, at which time Representative Oates
has been invited to speak for his bill to
rep-cal the 10 per cent. state bank tax,
and Representative licLaul-iu to speak for
his resolution authorizing an increase of
the currency by an issue of $125,000,000
of greenbacks. The committee will, it is
expected, hold three or four sessions a
week for the purpose of accommodating
gentlemen having views upon the finan-
cial system of the government and who
wish to bring them to public attention. It
will first hear members of congress hav-
ing, bills pending before the committee,
than members interested in those meas-
ures. and lastly, private citizens. In this
some direction the chairman, on motion
tiou of Mr. Haugen, was requested to com—
municate with the proper authorities of
the several states and request them to fur -
‘nish the committee any information . that
may be obtained fl'Olll the reports and
records thereof relating to the banking
systems therein. Under the action of the
comulitte: at its last session, ‘lmirman
Springer annnouuced the following sub-
committees which will have 'il-Li";-a of
all bills on the subjects 1121111st
Incrasing circulation of national banks
—'—Sperry, Cobb 'of Alabama, and Han-
gen.
Repeal of tax on state bank circulation—
‘ Cox, Springer, XVaruer, Hall of Missouri,
and Henderson of Illinois.
Mr. Curtis of Kansas introduced in the
house a bill to further regulate immigra-
tion. It establishes additional require-
ments and provides that a male immigrant
unmarried must possess $300, a single
woman $100 and the head of a family $500
or they shall not be entitled to land.
The house committee on war claims
ordered Mr. Boltzhoover to report favorably
his blil appropriating $3,447,945 f the
payment of damages sustained by citizens
ate troops during the late war. The losses
occurred in the counties of Adams, Bed-
ford, Cumberland, Franklin, Perry, Som-
erset and York and are known as. the
border claims.
Wilson’s Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 27.——-In conversation
Chairman Wilson stated that he has
already commenced work on his tariff bill;
that unless some unexpected difiiculties
arise there would probably be no sub-
committees appointed on the several sched-
ules as was done in the case of the McKin-
ley bill, and that no announcement of the
progress made will be given out until the
completed bill is ready for presentation to
the house.

- _ELMmA,'N. Y. , Sep. 27.4-The committee
selected to investigate the Elmira reform-
atOry met yesterday and arranged/Ia pro-
gramme. Chairman Craig said that the
.' committee wishedto be ableto guarantee to
. ‘ all convicts within the l'cformatory walls or
on parole who testified before the committee
that they would be protected, and he sug-
g'estcdythat the board of managers pass a
res-=lution to that effect, so that the testi—
mony ofthe convicts may be given with-
0110 fear. . ' _
Superintendent Brockway said that he
deprecated the sprawling upon'th‘e minutes
of the board of managers any evidence to
imply that witnesses u oulll be compelled
to suppress complaints. Hcsug_;ested'tllat
the convicts be aSsembled in the lecture
hall, a half hour before the study hOur and
that he be allowedto make the statement to
them in the presence. of the committee that
no convict would gum or lose anything by
his testimony before the committee. He
wood suggest then that each prisoner be
given a gummed envelope and a sheet of
writing paper on Which to write any com-
plaints that they Wished to make ‘tO=the
committee, the envelopes to be sealed and
turned over to the committee after the
study hour. Some discussion followed on
this question, the committee feeling that
such a resolution as suggested by President
Craig should be adoplell by the board of
managers. The managers and Superin-
tendent Brockway Were asked to be ready
by this morning.
Superintendent Brockway sugcested that
the convicts and officers within the institu-
tion, who would be called upon to testify,
be heard first, so that no interruption in
the administration Of affairs-and the discip-
line of tne refornlatory, which might
be occasioned by a long delay, would re-
sult. The committee agreed to this.
Subsequently Superintendent Brockway
addressed the prisoners in accordance with
his recommendations, both he and the
managers promising that no witness should
be either ,injured or benefitted by anytes-
timony that he might give. The commit-
tee made a tour of the institution and in-
vestigated cases of paddling. Prisoners
were given paper upon which to write their
testimony, which will be submitted to-day.
SENSATIONAL SHORTAGE.
' A Discrepancy of $96,000 Discovered in
the Old Colony Treasurer's Office,
BOSTON, Sep. 27.—President Chas.
F. Choate caused something of a sensation
at a meeting of the Old Colony stdckhold;
are at the United States hotel yesterday by
the announcement that since the printing
and distribution of the annual report, a
discrepancy had been discovered in the ac-
couuts of the treasurer, Mr. ' John Wash-
burn.
According to the treasurer’s report there
was $06,000 in cash in the treasury. It
was found, however, that securities, stocks
and bonds purchased with the company’s
money represented a. part of this cash.
The purchase was unauthorized. .
The treasurer’s office has been vacaégd,
and the treasurer has made an assignment
of all his outside property for the benefit
of the corporation. '
“It cannot be told,” said Mr. Choate,
”how much the loss will be. The securi-
ties are not all worth their nominal value,
which was represented to be so much cash.
It will not aficct the property; it will not
affect the dividends. The matter will be
further investigated and pushed. In other
respects the books of the treasurer are" all
right.” , . -

was this feeling which caused Broadway
to be choked with a. howling mob on the

in the style of one who a'few years ago
started his paragraph in this way, ‘I

. ‘Vasblngton’s Cabin.
There. are few buildings thatattract
the admirers Of Washington that have
more of interest in them than a decaying
cabin which stands alone in an old pas-
ture field a half mile from Berryville, in
the beautiful Shenandoah valley-of Vir-
ginia. - '~ .
.' The old cabin was the'home of Wash-
ington when he was a surveyor. He
came here- direct from the maternal roof
to begin the arduous and at~ the time
dangerous work of surveying the lands
of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, who owned
all the northern part of Virginia under
the king’s patent. The work was ardu-
ous because of the physical aspect of the
country, then a dense wilderness, and
dangerous because of the character of
the inhabitants, who were principally
Indians or scarcely less wild trappers or
squatters upon his lordship’s domain. '
Washington had been selected by the
nobleman because of his belief inthe
youth’s ability to cope with these ele-
ments early in 1748, just after the com-
pletion of his sixteenth year, his only
companion being George William Fairl-
fax, nephew'of old Lord Thomas.
Whether these boys erected the build»
ing or found it already in place history
does not state, but well authenticated
tradition says that they built it them-

kept their instruments there and slept

'Cemcntlng the-Russian Empire.
The czar .of Russia shows undoubted
sagacity in adOpting athe best physical
means tohold ’togethe‘i'. his vast empire.
He has pushed the trans, aspian military
railway southeastward ntil it has al-
most reached the frontierénof British In~
die. and China, the two powers most
likely to dispute witli‘him the acquisition
.of further dominion ,in Central Asia.
Having thus assured" the safety of the
Russian position in the southeast, he has
undertaken a more stupendous work in
beginning the construction of an un-
broken line of railway to connect Eu-
ropean Russia with a port on the Pacific
ocean. The whole length of the Asiatic
or main Siberiandine is, 4,800 miles.
The estimated costis $200,000,000. The
work, which is now progressing from
both. ends toward the center, is to be
completed in about 10 years. There will
then be a stretch of railway, all located
upon Russian territory, about 6,000 miles
in length, holding European Russia and
Asiatic Russia firmly together vvith. a
posed railway running north and south
to connect the two Americas shall have
been built there will be nOthing on earth
to rival this great stretch of eastern and
western railway across the Russian em-
pire,—Omaha Bee.
Folly of Hoarding.
It is really remarkable that so many
people in this country, who have finds
from which they might earn a good rate
of interest, persist in looking up notesin
safe deposit vaults or pack them awayin
old stockings. Money will earn today
large returns, with the best of real es-
tate security as first class collateral to
protect the lender, and yet a great many
individuals, waiting for they know not
money. The currency of a country is
intended to circulate as evidence of cred-
it. If it does not, it, becomes absolutely
useless to evemy. In afamine a com-
. magity would be no better of! if it locked
up millions of barrels of flour than if it
had none at all. The same is precisely
true of money.—Washington News.

I heartily admired, and parts ought to

really could not tell whether I admired

A Hard Conundrum.
Of the 1,300,000,000 or 1,400,000,000 of
people populating the earth, how many'
may be said to dominate it? Is the .di-
rection of all aflairs sublunary in the'
hands of more or less than 10,000 men!
and women? ‘I'do not mean as elected or.
hereditary rulers of ‘natiOns merely, but
persons in the capacityof rulers, finanm
men, etc—Cor. New York'Sun.
