Germany’s Relations With Her Allies, He
Declares. Have Undergone No Change.
You Biebersteln Makes a Bath-
er Spicy Speech.
BERLIN, Nov. '17.—-In anticipation of a
statement from the imperial chancellor,
Prince Ilohenlohe, on the subject of the
revelatic is made by Prince Bismarck,
through his' organ, the Hamburger Nach-
richten, :regirding the secret which existed
between 1’. .lssia and Germany from 1886
to 1890, th:..:e was a large attendance at
the openin ; of the reichstag today. Among
those present was Count Herbert Bismarck,
eldest son of the former chancellor, whose
presence supported the rumor that he was
to take an active part in the debate and
defend his father against attacks.
Count von Hompresch, a Centrist leader,
introduced the interpellation, notice of
which Was given on Wednesday last. In
brief the question was whether a secret
convention between Russia and Germany
existed up to 1890, and, if so, why was it
not prolonged? Finally, had the recent dis-
closures had influence upon the dreibund
and Germany’s relations with the other
powers? .
In reply Prince Hohenlohe said: “In re-
gard to the negotiations between Russia
and Germany from 1887 to 1890, it was
agreed at the time that absolute secrecy
should be observed. The point of. time
when this obligation ceased cannot, in con-
sequence, be defined by us alone. I there-
fore, for the moment, am not in a position
to give official information concerning the
result of those negotiations then. So far as
regards the tendency of German policy to—
ward Russia since the spring of 1890, it is
equally impossible to give an exhaustive
reply so long as that obligation continues,
and I leave it to the foreign secretary, who
took part in the deliberations, to say what
can be said in that respect. '
Hohenlohe Applauded.
“After a careful examination of the
available material I cannot help recogniz-
ing as full of weight the motives which
governed German policy, and at the same
time I can express the conviction that no
unfavorable modification in our relations
with Russia has made itself felt. The as-
sertion at that time that British or indeed
any foreign influences have had a contribu-
tory effect, or that they now have, must be
dismissed as devoid of all foundation.”
At this there were cries of “Bravo, bravo !’ ’
“As to the effect which recent publica-
tions have had upon the position of Ger-
many in the dreibund and her relations
with other European powers, I am glad to
be able to declareIthat the cloud of distrust
which at the first moment was observable
among some classes of the population of
those countries has again disappeared, and
our relations with our allies are marked
new, as before, by absolute mutual" confi-
dence. In the same way our relations witlr
Russia have never for a moment ceased to
be good and. friendly. ” Applause from all
parts of the house followed.
Von Bieberstein’s Remarks.
The minister for foreign afi’airs, Baron
Marschall von Bieberstein, followed the
chancellor. He said:
“In entering upon the subject of German
policy toward Russia I am perfectly alive
to the great difficulties of the task. Please
do not expect any revelations from me.
I'have no authority to make them, and,
moreover, they would probably only in-
crease the strife, and we have enough
strife in the country.
“ My task is to throw light upon certain
attacks, so far as general interests at home
and abroad requires them to be dealt with.
_ “In the latest controversy two accusa-
tions leading in diametrically opposite di-
rections stand out prominent. One is
that German policy, after 1890, committed
serious blunders and surrendered an im-
pOrtanC‘ security for the preservation of
peace.
“The other charge, which is leveled
against the policy prior to 1890, asserts
that at that time things were agreed upon
treaties.
' A Serious Charge.
“The latter charge is the more serious,
for it strikes us in a spot where, as we are
entitled to say with some pride, we were
most susceptible.
“I therefore address myself first to that
charge, and repel with emphasis the idea
that anything was ever agreed to by Ger-
many with any state whatever that is in-
compatible with existing treaties.
“That has not occurred, either in the
letter or in the spirit; for whatever we
have agreed to was designed to serve the
interests of peace. It is, however, doubt-
ful whether, with a number of alliances
and treaties, the intrinsic value of each
increases or decreases. The danger arises
in multifold security that it may refuse
its office at a decisive moment.”
The ‘ Drelbund Treaties.
LONDON, Nov. 17.—The Chronicle’s
Rome correspondent is assured that as a
result of the Bismarck disclosures Austria
will propose a new clause to the dreibund
treaties to counteract the . effect of secret
treaties.
Mr. Hanna and the Cabinet.
CLEVELAND, Nov. iii—M. A. Hanna
was seen by a reporter, who tried to get
from him a statement regarding a cabinet
position. “Your name has been used in
connection with the secretaryship of the
treasury. ” “I will not discuss it at all,”
was the reply. “But the newspapers have
said that you declared you would accept
no ofiice. ” “I do not remember ever hav-
ing said anything of the kind,” replied
Mr. Hanna.
An Attempt to Blow Up a Boston Hotel.
BOSTON, Nov. 17.—There was an attempt
made to blow up the Hotel Highland, Rox-
bury, today by the use of dynamite. ,The
hotel is a four story, eight apartment house,

stories were badly wrecked by the explo-
sion. It is alleged that the dynamite was
used for the purpose of revenge by some
person whose name at present is withheld.

Flames'ln the Package Room of the Grand
Central Depot, New York. 3
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—A mysterious fire
broke out early today in the package room,
of the Grand Central depot. How it 0:136
inated is not known. Packages were de-
stroyedwhich may efiect persons in _ all
sections of the United States.
The loss cannot be estimated at this
time, as the owners of the packages have
not heard of the disaster and have not ap-
plied for their property. Hundreds of them
were destroyed. ., , .
The package and information room} is at
the extreme southeast corner of thejjbig
building at Fortys’second'streeh’and Dopey?
place. It is 81feet1wid’e and 20 feetlong.
It is closed at night, and the attendant
looks, it. Heavy irongates shut it in'v'vh‘e’n
that section of the depot is closed for the
night. For this reason none of the pack-
ages oouldbe saved. . «a
The room is directly beneath the ticket
ofiioe of the branch of p the elevated road,
and the . station , platform acts as a shed
over the» windows of the Sidewalk and
windows Of the package room; ' For-a. time
it was thought that the elevated platform
would be destroyed. The flames-ate great
holes in it, and'a porthn of 'it'Will‘IIave to
be rebuilt. ‘ ' .
The damage to the building‘will not ex-
ceed $500,,but: the ‘loss to the owners of
the packages cannot" yet‘ be estimatedd
There are hints of incendiarism. but there
is nothing to substantiatethe'm. '
Two barrels of oil stored in the tunnel
of the New York Central railroad ' at

caress T0 NAME A JUDGE.
A Vacancy In the Essex Court of Com-
mon Pleas Expected.
TRENTON, Nov. 17. -—President Cleve-
land will probably appoint this week J ridge
Andrew Kirkpatrick of the Essex county
court of common pleas to be judge of the
United States district count for New Jersey
to succeed the late Edward T. Green.
Judge Kirkpatrick was named to the presi-
dent by Senator Smith at the request of
the executive.
Governor Grlggs would like to appoint
ex-Judge J. Franklin Fort to the vacancy
which the appointment of Judge Kirkpat-
rick would make. Judge Fort nominated
Garret A. Hobart at St. Louis and. is a
close friend of the governor. But Judge
Fort has intimated that he would prefer to
remain at the bar for the present, and it is
said that he expects to succeed John P.
Stockton as attorney general next year.
Governor Griggs therefore appealed to the
Essex county leaders to recommend some
candidate. They have variously named
Joseph Munn, present counsel for the
board of freeholders; Adrian Riker and
Halsey M. Barrett. They are all lawyers.
Mr. Munn lives in Orange, Mr. Riker lives
in Newark and Mr. Barrett lives in Bloom-
field. Mr. Munn seems to have a slight
lead, but the fact that he now holds a com-
fortable office rather operates against him.
The governor may select some one not yet
named.
Important Case Decided.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-—The United
States supreme court today rendered an
opinion sustaining the constitutionality
of the Wright irrigation law ,of California
and overruling the decision of the United
States circuit court for the Chlifornia dis-
trict, which was against the law’s valid-
ity. The case in which the opinion was
rendered was that of the Fall Brook Irri-
gation company versus Mary King Brad-
ley.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17.——Edward Ma-

ceipts of the assignee‘were 869, 400.96 and

MANILLA’S BLACK HOLE.
A Loathsome Underground Dungeon To»;
Drives Its Victims to Madness. ‘
LONDON, Nov. 16.—A letter to The,
Times from its Hongkong correspondent
confirms the stories told of the terrible
dungeon fortress at Manilla, in which the
captured insurgents of the Philippine is-
lands are placed.
The writer describes it as the “ black hole
of Manilla, ” says that the prisoners are let
down as into oubliettes and asserts that
the ventilation is obtained through a grat—
ing in the floor, which is closed at high
tide.
He adds that during one hot night 150
prisoners were confined in this small cell,‘
and when the tide rose the atmosphere was
so stifling that men and women fought
like wild animals. Some went mad. The
next morning the soldiers took out 54
corpses, and altogether 70 persons died. i
PUSHING THE SULTAN. l
Signor Pansa Tells Him He Must. Act as
Well as Promise.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 16. — Signor
Pansa, the Italian embassador, had an au-
dience yesterday eveningwith the sultan.
The. embas'sador strongly insisted upon
the execution of the proposed reforms, and
the sultan declared that they would be ex-
ecuted.
But Signor Pansa pointed to the fact
that the promised reforms were not being
carried out, and he told the sultan that
they must be, adding that it was not suffi-
cient to . promise and publish reforms; it
was necessary to put them into effect.
The Italian embassador also strongly
insisted upon the punishment of Colonel
Mazehan Bey, who is held to be responsi-
ble for the murder of Father Salvator.
ABCHBISHOP IRELAND.
The Reports That He Is to Be Removed
Are Pure Inventions.
ROME, Nov. 16.—It is semiofi‘icially
stated at the Vatican that the reports cir-
culated in the United States of the inten-
tion of the pope to remove Archbishop Ire-
land of St. Paul are pure inventions.
Archbishop Ireland has simply been ad~
vised from an authorized quarter to mod-
erate his attitude, avoid irritating discus
sions and conform his conduct to the in—
structions of the holy see, especially as re-
gards education, social questions and the
favor to be accorded to religious bodies.
Curiosities of a Bake Shop.
The largest loaves of bread baked in
the world are those of France and It-
aly, says the Cleveland “World.” The
“pipe” bread of Italy is baked in leaves
three feet long, while in France the
leaves are made in the shape of very
long rolls, four feet in length, and in
many cases even six feet.
The bread of Paris is distributed al-
most exclusively by women, who go
to the various bakehouses at 5:30 a.
m., and spend about an hour brushing
and polishing the loaves. I
After the loaves are thorOughly
cleaned of dust and grit, the woman
proceeds on the rounds of her custom-
ers. Those who live in apartments or
flats find their leaves leaning against
the door. Restaurateurs and those hav-
ing street entrances to their premises
find their supply of the staff of life
propped up against the front door. The
wages earned by these bread carriers
vary from 50 cents to 63%3 cents of our
money, and their day’s work is com
pleted by 10 of 11 o’clock in the mom-
mg.
