Germany is Excited Over the Czar’s Reception In France. THE DOUBLE GAME OF RUSSIA Berlin Papers Think the Czar’s Visit to ‘ Paris Bodes No Good to European Peace—Alsace and Lorraine May Be Involved—Sousa. Honored. BERLIN, Oct. 12.—-The reception of the czar in France during the past week has engrossed public attention in Germany to the exclusion of everything else. The viewa expressed on the subject differ great- ly. The majority of opinion. however, is that it bodes no good to European peace. The ofllcial press has been very cautious, but this was not the case with the inde- pendent press. The Tageblatt says: “If the zweibund pursues the aims of the revanche of the patriots of the Parisian boulevards. it may easily happen that France will have to decorate other statues _on the Place de la Concorde with mourn- ing symbols." The Centrist Volks Zeitung remarks. “Russia, in the double game she is play- ing between France and Germany, is per- petrating a gigantic fraud. " The Cologne Gazette states: “It is evi- debt that the mass of Frenchmen nurse Russian friendship only in the hope that Russia will help them win back Alsace- Lorraine.” ' A resident diplomat representing one of the dreibund powers, in conversation with your correspondent, dwelt upon the fact that the czar carefully avoided using the word “alliance, ” but it is thought that nevertheless Russia and France will hence- forth, for a time, go together. He added that the element of insecurity was in the fact that the aims of the zweibund were studiously veiled and concealed. If they were purely defensive, he continued, why should Europe be kept in the dark? Con- tinuing, the diplomat referred to said: “In the meanwhile the dreibund will conttnue to strenghten its hands by agree- men s with other friendly powers, and one thing is certain, the double dealing and cunning of Russian diplomacy has gained a great triumph. But it cannot last, the zweibund being a disturbing element, while Russia requires peace to accomplish her designs in the east. The dreibund therefore will remain, in spite of the mo- mentary success of Russian diplomacy, the dOminnnt factor in European politics.” Emperor Has Confidence In Czar. Emperor William has been kept fully informed of the czar’ s doings and sayings by special couriers to Hubertsstock, and it is reported that his majesty said to Prince Hohenlohe, “I have the fullest con- fldehce in the czar." ’This confidence, however, is not shared in official circles. The crown council has drawn up the programme for the coming session of par- liament. Bills for the conversion of the 4 per cent Prussian and imperial loans will precede the budget. but of the savings thereby made 18, 000, 000 marks will be devoted to increasing salaries of govern- ment official, which, altogether, Will be increased by 27,000,000 marks. The question of using electric power on Prussian railroads was also considered, and a mass of statistics from the United States and other countries on the subject was gone through. Eventually it was de- cided to experiment on small lines next year. Overhead currents will be employed. The completion of conciliation of Em- peror William and his brother, Prince Henry of Prussia is now effected, and the prince will reside during the coming win- ter at the royal castle of Kiel. Commissioner Macchi of the Nashville exposition of 1897 is here making efforts to induce Germans to exhibit. John Philip Sousa, the distinguished American composer and conductor, who is now in this city, has been invited to conduct the great Philemonic orchestra of Berlin at a special concert to be given in. the Exposition building in the Thiere garden this evening. All the great con- ductors of Europe have led this orchestra at times, notably Von Bulow. Mr. Sousa has accepted the invitation and will doubt- less give the Berlin musical public a taste of the peculiarly individual method of one of America’s foremost and most pop- ular conductors. The Berlin invitation is a notable compliment and arecognition 'Of his high standing in the Amer1can mu- sical world. Miss Amy Crawford Hcacock of Read- ing,'Pa., it is announced, is engaged to Baron von Knesebeck of the Eleventh regi- ment of uhlans. Mr. Henry Villard is at present in this city. Anti-German Feeling In England. LONDON, Oct. 12.——The dispatch of Brit- ish naval re-euforcements to Zanzibar has renewed interest in the situation there and is universally interpreted as a dem- onstration against Germany, as the con- dition Of affairs in Zanzibar does not jus- tify such measures. The Arabs, general- ly speaking, are apparently indifferent to the change in the sultanate, and Seyvid Khalid’s partisans are in prison. It is ad mitted here that Germany had the techni- cal right to remove Khalid from her con- sulate at Zanzibar, but the ostentatious method adopted and the crowing tone of the German press in connection there- with, openly declaring that the measure was a slap in the face for Great Britain, has acted like a bellows to the anti-Ger- man fire burning in this country. The Spectator urges the government to imme- diately annex Zanzibar as an answer to Germany’s unfriendly act. An important feature of the British Comments on the czar’s visit to Paris has been the equanimity with which it was regarded. In fact, newspaper opinion even seems etc be favorable to the visit rather‘than against it. This may be ac- counted for by the fact that Great Britain, since her estrangement with Germany, has been eager to regard the czar’ 6 visit and the demonstrations of the French people as an offset to the dreibund and a humili- ation to Germany. It is almost impossible to exaggerate the feeling in Great Britain against Germany at the present moment, aroused by offen- sive articles in the German press. One Berlin newspaper made a virulent attack Upon the British army, classing her maj- esty’ s troops as “drunken soldiers whose greatest victories were won by Prussia and France,” while England is declared to be responsible for the Germans killed in the Loire by supplying the French with money and arms. This is supplemented by an article in The Hamburger Nach- richten, reproduced in the English news- papers. The latter replied defiantly, and The Globe epitomizes the general opinion with the remark, “If Great Britain .is so unfortunate as to incur the anger of Ger- many, we have no doubt as to theresuit ” Q MINISTER TELLBR DENIES. He Says He Has Made No Request For the Passage of the Bancroft. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 12. .— United States Minister Terrell denies that he has made any request to the porte in behalf of his government for the admission of the United States gunboat Bancroft through the Dardaueilcs, but he expresses hope that arrangements were made for her ad- mission hefore the Bancroft started from America for. Turkish waters. Mr. Terrell is the Only diplomat who has left the protection of Therapia. He is living in Peru, and the American legation is the Only one that is not guarded. Mr. Terrell has pointed out the houses 01 Americans which require specialIguards, but hnsdeclared to the Turkish police that it is their duty to guard the legation with- out a request. The jails are so crowded with Armenian prisoners that it seems impossible for them to hold any more. The special tribunal organized for the purpose of trying the Armenians is wholly inadequate to the disposition of the cases, and a second court will be‘organized to expedite mat- ters. The charges against the Armenian prisoners who are packed in the jails are absolutely lacking in the elements of justice. IMovements of American Cruisers. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12. —— The cruisei Marblehead has left Mersina, Syria, fo1 Smyrna, making the fourth ship of the European squadron now on the way tc that port to join the flagship Minneapolis, which arrived there last Wednesday. the San Francisco having left Genoa for Smyr- na on Thursday and the Cincinnati and Bancroft having been steaming for the same destination from Gibraltar since Tuesday last. By the middle of next week Admiral Selfridge will have his entire fleet directly under his eye, and it will then perhaps be possible to learn what his instructions are. It is asserted at the navy department that the men whose time has expired will be transferred from the other ships to the Marblehead. which will then come home unless some emergency requires her Continuance in Turkish wa- ters. Naval officers continue confident that an arrangement will be reached enabling the Bancroft to ‘go to Constantinople, as contemplated by Minister Terrell, and in their Opinion the little ship will proceed to her destination without delay. BRAZIL DBI‘INES BOUNDARIES. The Government Preparing Maps Showing . British Possessions In Guiana. Bunxos Arnns, via. Galveston. Oct. 12. —The government of Brazil is preparing maps outlining the boundary between Brazil and the British Possessions in Gu-- one at the point of divergence formed by the Oyapak river. Senhor de Martino and the Brazilian for- eign minister, Senhor Cerqueira, held an other conference in relation to the Italian question. Perfect harmony was manifest- ed at the interview. The only thing which remains to be done in the negotia~ tions is the construction of the new pro- tocol, which has been somewhat delayed by incidents of small importacne. The Argentine minister to the Quirinal has instituted a suit against the builders of the warship Garibaldi for alleged dam- ages. Owing to lack of funds the municipality of Buenos Ayres will suspend the foreign debt service. TheiAmerican Bicycle Abroad. NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-—Harold E. Bay- mond, former chairman of the racing board of the L. A. W., has returned from Europe, coming on the steamer St. Louis. He was present at the international cham- pionships held in August at Copenhagen, and during his trip abroad he visited near- ly. all the greats ca itals of Europe. Mr. Raymond believes hat American bicycles will enter into competition with foreign makes next season to a surprising extent. The idea of Mr. Raymond’s trip was to lOok' over the markets of London, Paris and Copenhagen. He also posted himself as to the standing of the market in St. Pe- tersburg. This afternoon he will meet President R. L- Coleman of the cycle board of trade and make a statement to him about the prospects of the succeSs of Amer- ican wheels in the markets abroad. Highwayman In Massachusetts. PALMER, Mass, Oct. 12.—An attempt was made to hold up and rob D. W. Fos- ket, owner of Fosket mill, last night. Mr. Fosket had been to Springfield and was driving to his housejust out of the village when a man sprang from the bushes and attempted to stop the horse. Falling in this, he shot at Mr. Fosket, but did not hit him. Mr. Fosket returned the shot without effect and drove rapidly home. He tried to communicate with the police by telephone, but was unable to'do so, as the wires had been cut. The officers were finally notified, but were unable ‘to dis- cover any trace of the highwaym‘an. Demand Tariff Changes. CAPE TOWN, Oct. 12.—At a large pub- lic meeting here resolutions in favor of the abolition of the duties on meat, flour and wheat and calling for the imposition Of excise duties on other articles in their place were adopted. A procession after ward marched to the home of the premier and treasurer of Cape Colony, Sir .T. Gor- don Sprigg, who made a short address to the crowd, in which he said that the gov- ernment was unable to do anything at present. General Alfero For President. LIMA, Peru, via Galveston. Oct. 19.——A report from Guayaquil, Ecuador, says that the national convention now in session fliers has elected and installed as the unani- mous choice of the delegates General Al- fero as the interim president Of the repub- lic. The convention has also declared that the constitution of 1878 shall remain in force until the new constitution is pro- mulgated. The delegates are studying measures calculated to relieve the suffer- ing caused by the recent fire. Cubans Active In Peru. LIMA, Peru, Oct. 12. —The Cuban colony in this city held a meeting and celebration yesterday. A large sum in ' gold was sent to the Cuban junta in New York.

THE.EVENINGLGAZETTE 11111101111 111111 LIGHTNING UP ALWATER COLUMN. One of Edison’s Ideas Accidentally Tested —Possibility of Electricity in Warfare. When Edison some time ago said that he could defend a fort against an army or he were supplied with a powerful dynamo and 'a. fire engine, many regarded the statement as one of ”those little jokes with which the inventor loves so well to relieve the strain of his almost incessant serious work. He proposed to connect the hose to the dynamo and then start both. The heavy current would pass along the water, and any one advanc- ing towa1d the fort on whom the jet Played would be instantly killed. This ' has very nearly been done in sober earnest. _A't a recent fire in the basement of the power house of the Chicago City Railway Company the firemen had great trouble in getting at? the blaze. They had to chop holes in the floor of the dynamo room before they could get a stream on the blazing pile of waste. Not waiting for the dynamos to be shut down, they crept trough the black smoke and turned a dream on the flames. In an instant they were flung to the ground with great vio-- lence, and the hose was sent flying in the air. A heavy current had passed along the stream and had shocked them. Though unconscious when res- cued, they quickly recovered; but ind the dynamo been as powerful as that proposed for the defence of forts, the firemen would undoubtedly have met the hate that Edison has in store for the enemies of the Stars and Stripes.
