 BERLIN non LETTER '—

Emperor William Is Furious Over the
Newspaper Revelations.

HE BEGS BISMARCK T0 QUIT.

But the Prince Practically Defies the
Kaiser and Says That He Must Be-
tain the Right of Free Speech.

The Dueling Crisis.

BERLIN. Nov. 23.—Public attention dur-
ing the week has been almost entirely ab-
sorbed by the reichstag debates, and the
politicians are convinced that the state-
ments of Prince Hohenlohe, the chancellor,
and the minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Marschall von Bieberstein, on the subject
of the foreign policy of Germany have had
an excellent effect and have removed the
suspicions of her allies.

Count Herbert Bismarck’s_._denial in the
reichstag that he has given interviews to
newspaper men during the past five years
is hardly credited in political circles, and
there is excellent authority for saying that
he did give an interview containing some
of the recent revelations in Schoenhausen.

The count went to Friedrichsruhe imme-
diately after Monday’s session of the reichs-
tag and made a full report to his father on
the present attitude of the emperor and
the government regarding the revelations,
and it is stated that a plan was agreed upon
to continue the newspaper disclosures.

As a first result the Leipsic N eucste N ach-
richten has published a statement that
Italy entered into a secret agreement with
Russia in 1891 similar to the Russo-Ger-
man alliance.

Bismarck Defies the Kaiser.

Emperor William is said to be furious at
these revelations, but he sees no way of
stopping them. His aid-de-camp, Count
von Moltkc, went to Friedrichsruhe on
Tuesday with instructions to beg Prince
Bismarck to cease his campaign on the
ground that it was calculated to seriously
injure Germany politically, but Prince
Bismarck replied that he must retain the
right of free speech and of ventilating his
opinions.

The Frankfort Zeitung threatens to
formally prefer charges of high treason
against the Hamburger Nachrichten with
the state attorney of Hamburg. This is
intended to Checkmate the government’s
proceedings to force The Zeitung to di-
vulge the name of its informant of unau-
thorized parliamentary laws recently pub-
lished.

Some of the Liberal newspapers, the
Vossische Zeitung, for instance, predict a
parliamentary conflict with the govern-
ment this session, and if the govern-
ment insists upon a large increase in the
naval budget, as projected, the dissolution
of the reichstag is inevitable. The Radical
and Center parties are already discussing
the probability of this course and are pre-
paring to make a hurd election fight.

The Duell..f-: Crisis.

One of his majosty’s adj utantsattended
the dueling debate in the reichstag, took
copious notes and reported to the emperor
personally. The latter took particular no-
tice of Herr Lenzmann’s menacing speech.

The Radical and Liberal newspapers are
very outspoken in their comments on the
conflicting declarations of Prince Hohen-
lohe and the minister for war, General von

qGossler, the former declaring that dueling

must be suppressed and that all classes of
the population must conform with the
law, while the latter maintained the re-
verse. General von Gossler is understood
to have expressed the views of the emperor.

A mass meeting was held in Berlin to-
day to protest against the dueling nuisance
and in favor of withdrawing the military
class privileges. A petition to the same
effect, with 500,000 signatures, will be
submitted to the reichstag.

Strict searches have been made this
week in nearly all the Prussian garrison
towns, owing to large quantities of Social-
istic literature having been smuggled into
the barracks. Thousands of Socialistic and
anarchistic pamphlets were seized at Dant
zrc.

“'orrying the Government.

The government has decided to take
severe administrative measures in order to
counteract the steadily increasing treason-
able agitation in Polish Prussia and Posen,
and a strong Polish faction in the diet is
preparing a systematic opposition to the
government, beginning by questioning the
right of the government to change the
provincial colors of Posen.

An anonymous pamphlet entitled “An-
other Open Letter to the Kaiser” has ap-
peared at Leipsic. It warns his majesty
against the present foreign and internal
policy of Germany. The pamphlet has been
seized in Prussia.

A fact much remarked is that on the
eve of the opening of the Prussian diet the
emperor went hunting, leaving Prince
Hohenlohe to read the speech from the
throne, contrary to his majesty’s custom.
The explanation is that the emperor is so
upset at the Bismarck revelations that he
is in no fit frame of mind for a formal,
quiet throne speech.

The Princess of Ples‘s, whose husband is
a favorite of the emperor, is heading a
curious movement. She has requested,
through advertisements in the newspapers,
all English women married to Germans,
of no matter what social station, to join in
a movement to destroy by every permissi-
b'le means such pamphlets and newspaper
a: ticles as are exciting anglophobism in
Germany.

The Manitoba School Question.

Moreen, Nov. 23,—The attitude of
the French Canadian press toward the
terms of the Manitoba school settlement is
re: “chant. La Minerveuj, the only French
morning paper in Montreal, comments ed-
i:<..ially in a very bitter strain on the
forms of the settlement. It accuses Mr.
Laurier of having made a “disgraceful
capitulation to the Manitoba bigots and
threatens that the settlement as announced
will not be accepted by the Manitoba Cath-
olic minor' y and that their refusal will
he backed up by Catholic Quebec.

They Want Sprague.
WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. 23,—A paper
bearing 2,500 signatures asking General
A. B. R. Sprague to stand as a citizens’
candidate for re-election as mayor was pre-
sented to Mayor Sprague yesterday. It is

understood that he will accept the nomina- __

tion, in Spite of the fact that he published
a letter declining to run last week.

Two Shots But No Blood.

PARIS, Nov. 23,—A duel was fought
esterday between M. Millevoye, editor of

a Patric, and Dr. Goldmalnn, Paris cor—'

respondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung.
Two shots were exchanged, with no result.
The meeting was a sequel to the discus-
sion over the Dreyfus affair.

EARLY THIMBLES.
rhoyWero Marla in Roland and Worn on
the Thumb.

The thimble is a Dutch— invention,
and the first one was made in 1684
by a silver-smith named Nicholas Van
Bensclbten. originally it was called a

—--._...._,.— ____._‘~

 

“thuinbcll” because it was worn on
the thumb. says the San Francisco
“Chronicle."

In making thimbles the gold and sil-

" ver ingots are rolled out into sheets

of the desired thickness and cut by a
stamp into circular pieces of any re-
These circular pieces are
bent into thimblc shape by means of a
gold metal bar that is of the same
size as the inside of the intended thim<
ble; this bar is moved by machinery
up and down in a bottomless mold‘of
the outside of the same thimble, and
each time the bar descends it presses
one of the circular pieces or disks into
thimble shape.

When the thimble is shaped the next
work is to brighten, polish and deco-
rate it. First the blank thimble is fit-
ted with a rapidly revolving rod. A
slight touch of a sharp chisel cuts a
very thin shaving from the end of the
thimble, a section chisel does the same
on the side, and a third neatly rounds
off the rim. A round steel rod, well
oiled, is held against the surface of the
revolving thimble, and it is thus given
a nice polish; the inside is brightened
and polished in a similar manner, the
thimble being held in a revolving mold.

Then a delicate revolving steel
wheel, with a raised, ornamental edge.
is pressed against the blank thimble
and prints the ornament seen just out-
side the rim. Another steel wheel cov-
ered with sharp points makes tiny in-
dentations all over the remaining
blank surface of the thimble.

The last operation is ti) wash it thor-

oughly in soapsnds, to brush it care;

fully and it is ready for my lady’s bas-
kct.

THE GEN ER ALS’ TRAIN.

An Interesting Feature of the Last Elec-
tion Calnpaign.

No feature of the late campaign was
hailed with more interest than the trip
of the Union Generals. They are all
called Generals, although in reality the
party was made up of five Generals, a
Captain, and a Corporal. Tho Gener-
als are 0. 0. Howard, Daniel E. Sick-
les, T. J. Stewart of Pennsylvania, 0.
A. Mardcn of Massachusetts, and Russ-
sell A. Alger of Michigan. The Cap-
tain is John R. Tanner, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor of Illinois.
and the corporal is Corporal Tanner
of New York.

The Union Generals traveled in a

special train, consisting of a baggage,

dining, and combination sleeping and
observation car, and at the tail end of
the train was a flat car, on which,
securely mounted, were a brass rapid-
firing gun and a mortar. This flat car
was in charge" of experienced gunners.

By no means the least interesting
person on the Union Generals’ train
was the bugler, a very important man.
At the stopping places the Generals
left their car for seats on the flat car.
On each side of their seats were the
rapid-fire gun and a mortar. When
Gen. Sickles arose on his crutches to
address the audience the bugler was
immediately beside him.

“Bugler,” co: mands Gen. Sickles, in
the sharp tcncs of an army officer
giving orders, “call my comrades in
this vast audience before me.”

The bugler gave the regulation call.
The old comrades in the audience step
to the front and salute. ‘

“Bugler,” roars Gen. Sickles, “call
us back to the old days of ’61."

The bugler then run the gamut of
infantry, artillery, and cavalry calls,
and between them he played the revil-
lo and the call to arms. The old com-
rades roared with delight. The rapid-
fire gun blazed away and the mortar
belched skyward a bomb, which when
it broke was a ball of red, white, and
blue fire. There was a band at every
point and the national songs were. re-
played. All joined in singing “The
Star Spangled Banner.” These scenes
were repeated all along the route and
excited wildest enthusiasm.

 

Henry Irving's Ring.

It was long known among the» friends
of Henry W'ard Beecher that he had
a passion for collecting curious and
beautiful precious stones, which he
was accustomed to carry in his pock
cts, occasionally making a present of
one to somebody he admired. It seems
now that one of the finest of these
gems graces the hand of Henry Irving
in a ring that Mr. Beecher wore for
many years.

It contains a beautiful aquamarine
gem. When Miss Ellen Terry was on
her first visit to America she lunched
with Mr. and Mrs. Beecher, and being
shown the gem, expressed so much ad-
miration that Mr. Beecher urged her
to accept it.

She was very proud of it and wore it
constantly, but, as she tells the story,
“On the day that Queen Victoria
knighted Irving, I took the ring from
my finger and gave it to him in honor
of the occasion. Sir Henry now wears
Mr. Beecher’s ring and will wear it
as long as he lives.”

Coffee Blindness.

The Moors are inveterate coffee-
drinkers, especially the merchants,
who sit in thir bazaars and drink cof-
fee continually during the day. It has
been recently noticed that, almost in-
variably when these coffee-drinkers
reach the age of forty or forty-five their
eyesight begins to fail, and by the time
they get to be fifty they become blind.

Strangers are impressed by the num-

her of blind men that are seen about"

the streets of the city of Fez, the capi-
tal of Morocco. It is invariably attri-
buted to the excessive use of coffee.
l‘El": opinion has been confirmed by
but. ul‘ European physicians living

dro &. Co., 29 Hopkins place, wholesale-

notions, and hosiery, the receivers’ 'bonz‘.

deemed advisable to ask for receivers.

 

Ivory Committed For Trial.

LONDON, Nov. 21.—At Bow Street police
court today Edward J. Ivory, alias Ed-
ward Bell, the alleged Irish-American
dynamiter of flow York city, charged with
conspiring to cause explosions, was for-
mally committed for trial at the next ses-
sions of the central criminal court. -

 

The Weather. . _
Generally fair: slightly warmer; west-
erly to southerly winds.

 

Another Gait Case.

Two farmers of Beech Springs, Va...
went to law a short time ago over a
calf, valued at $2, which one accused
the other of . stealing. The litigation
caused the farmers $50 each, and the
case was dismissed. The next day the
calf was found dead in a cave on prop-
erty that did not belong to either of the
litigants. , T

 

lure. E'ilmore’s Kindness.
Mrs. Fillmore probably did what no

other retiring first lady has, ever done.

Mrs. Pierce, who Succeeded her, was
heartbroken over the death of a child,-
and Mrs. Fillmore remained to give
her welcome and smooth her way.
Then the Fillmores went to Willard’s
Hotel, and Mrs. Fillmore died before
the month closed._
