A BLOW AT THE KAISBB

That Oder 01‘ Frederick Francis III
to Prince Bismarck.

 

.A VERITABLE ' BOMBSHBLL.

The Grand Duke Is Opposed to King
William’s Policy, and This Is the
First Open Blow Against Him.
William Has Cause for Alarm.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-—'Berlin advices state
thata'bombshell in the imperial cabinet
could hardly have caused more consterna-
tion than the report that Frederick Francis
III, the grand duke Of Mecklinburg-
Schwerin, had offered to Prince Bismarck
the presidency of the grand ducal min-
istry. The grand duke is the head and
front of the feudal rulers of Germany.
Attached by an ancestry to the Slavs. he
made that attachment stronger by mar-
riage to a member of the Russian imperial
family.

His family is older than Ihe Hobenzol-
lerns and fully as proud, and he consider.-
himself at least the equal of the German
emperor. His discontent with the kaiser’s
policy, both in its anti-Russian features
and in its contempt of ancient feudal priv~
ileges, has long been apparent, and if the
statement Of the usually well informed
Frankfurter Zeitung proves true it will be
taken for granted that he has now struck
the first open blow against the ruler of the
new German empire. There is no doubt
that he has many sympathizers, and that
the kaiser has good cause for alarm.

Gladstonc’s Position.

LONDON, Jan. 10.——It is stated that there
are no terms too strong. to express the as-
surance given to Mr. O’Brien, through
Mr. Arnold Morley, M. P., by Mr. Glad-
stone, to the effect that any arrangement
made by him for the reunion of the two
branches of the Nationalist party must
be based, not on any temporary wit' -
drawal of Mr. Parnell from the political
field, but on his permanent and uncondi~
tional retirement to private life as the only
'condition on which the English Liberals
will again act with the Irish members to
secure home rule.

This, the English leader declares, is a
stipulation that under any circumstances
will in no wise be departed from.

The Pall Mall Gazette, under the head-
ing, “The Boulogne Harlequinade,” again
pays‘its respects to the Irish conferees. It
says, "Messrs. McCarthy and Sexton have
gone to France, and Mr. O’Brien, having
concluded his part, Mr. Dillon now pur-
poses to enter the scene from the opposite
wing.”

The Fate of" .Svicted Tenants.

DUBLIN, Jan. 10. —'1‘he fate of the evicted
tenants on the Smith-Barry estate is at
present. the subject of much anxiety among
the lush leaders. Mr. O’Brien, as one of
the authors of the plan of campaign, is es
pecially inte1ested.

Strenuous efforts are therefore making
to prevent the entire collapse of the move-
ment. The inhabitants of New Tipperary
have gone back .to the old town. To ob-
tain funds to prevent a total depopuletion
of his new settlement has been one of Mr.
0' Brien’ s chief objects in his Boulogne
conferences with Mr. Parnell.

O’Brien Won’t Be llulrled.
BOULOGNE, Jan. 10.-—Mr.William O‘Brien,
referring to a report that he had an-
nonnced his intention Of returning to
England at once and surrendering to the

authormes In order to sex-ye the term 01‘

imprisonment to which he has been sen-
tenced, says:

The report is baseless. as also is every
telegram I have seen about our intentions
here or in America. “7e do not intend
that newspaper ll‘ilanl‘S or criticisms shall
hurry us in the‘steps we consider neces-
sary for the safety of the cause.

Natalie \Vill Leave Servia.
LONDON, Jan. 10.——An agreement has
been reached between the Servian regency,
ex-Kiug Milan and ex-Queen Natalie,
‘whereby the ex-queen consents to reside
permanently outside of Servia.

Will Resent Leo’s Attitude.
ROME, Jan. 10. —-'l‘he government is re-
ported to be preparing for a seriously ag-
gressive step in resentment at the pope’s
persistent attitude of hostility toward the
Italian monarchy.

McAulifl'e lieady for Sullivan.

NEW YORK. Jan. 10.-—_-Joa McAuliife, the
pugilist, with his wife and child, were
cabin passengers on the White Star steamer
Britannic, which arrived at this port Fri
day from Liverpool. McAulifl’e, in an in-
terview regarding his recent fight with
Frank P. Slavin at the Pelican club, in
London, said: “It was a fair and square
fight, and I was fairly and squarely knocked
out. I have no excuse for my defeat. As
for admitting that Slavin is a better man,
or, for that matter, anybody else, I deny
that. I am ready to fight all comers, bar-
ring none. I am ready to fight Sullivan
any time he wants to make a match.”

Stationer Moore’s Failure.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10. — Clement H.
Moore, wholesale stationer at 85 Market
street, failed, after making preferences,
aggregating $30,000, to Frederick Bergner
a 00., of Baltimore; the Morgan Envelope
company, of Springfield, Mass, and Will-
iam Otis Day, also of Springfield, Mass. It
is understood that Mr. Moore’s liabilities
are 870,000, with assets about the same.

The Powder Pool Collapses.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10.—-The powder
pool, organized about eighteen months
ago, has collapsed, and the price of pow-
der has consequently sufiered a drop. The

tition of the eastern firms.

Kingfisher in a Furore.

, INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 10.—A dispatch to
The Tribune from Sioux City, 1a., says:

Maj. W. W. Anderson, of Chamberlain,
S. D., has jus ome in from the Bad Lands,
where he sav. any of the hostile Indians.
He has then -.: mfidence and is widely
known 8.111011 em, as he was Indian
agent at Crow creek and Lower Brule
agencies 11p to a year ago. He says the
violation of the Sioux treaty of 1876 is the
real cause Of the trouble. He knows per-
sonally that in many cases the Indians did
lack food, and did not receive the rations
to which they Were entitled.

The ghost dance is a hoax, but has
been used by some of the leaders to ‘in-
Maj. Anderson
puts some of the blame for the trouble on
Agent Boyer, who, instead of firmly quell-
ing it, ran away to Bushville and called
for troops, and then when he went back to
the agency with troops was harsh and irri-
tating toward the Indians.

Oklahoma Excited.

GUTHIIIE, l. ’1‘., Jan. 10.-—-Much excite-
ment prevails here regarding the present
Indian outlook. Grave apprehension is
felt, and trouble is expected as soon as the
disarming of the Indians is begun. * Re-
ports regarding the seriousness of the
situation have been withheld by corre-
spondents, but it is no longer a secret that
trouble is imminent. The settlers along
the reservation borders are of course more
alarmed, and their position is most crit-
ical.

Kingfisher at present is in a furore, and
yesterday George H. Laing, of that place,
came to this city and at once sought the
office of United States Marshal Grimes.
He says a militia company had been hur-
riedly organized there, which numbered 65
men. A company of minute men had also
been formed .of 112 members, wno may, on
a moment’s notice, be called out in case of
an outbreak. Sixty-five guns were report-
ed at the organization meeting of the men,
and the remainder are to be supplied at
once.

The Alarm ls Genuine.
“The Indian- alarm in this territory is

genuine, and within a week’s time at the -

longest Kingfisher and other border towns
will be under constant picket guard,’ ’._said
Laing to Marshal Grimes. Laing was the
secretary of the Minute Men’s organiza-
tion meeting, and is a citizen of repute of
Kingfisher. He said that Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indians came into Kingfisher on
Thursday and purchased every cartridge
that could be. had, one Indian buying fif-
teen boxes.

The aspect is certainly serious, and Judge
Seay, of the supreme bench, said yesterday
that the inland towns should at once or-
gauize in companies ,to aid. if necessary,
the settlers along the borders.

They \Vent to Dance.

W’ELLS, Nev.. Jan. 10.—About 200 Snake
and Shoshone Indians left this vicinity on
\Vednesday and Thursday to attend a
ghost dance in Star valley, at the head of
Humboldt river. Chief Soldier Charlie
claims that there is no danger of an out-
breuk unlessthe government attempts to
stop the dance and force the Indians to re.
main on the reservation. It is unusual to
hold dances at this time of the year.

They Murder and Bob, but Are Finally
Brought to Grief. ,

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan.10..—— Samuel L
Jacobson, a young merchant, while enter-
ing his residence on Webster street on the
night of Aug. 15 last, was shot by some

aparty or parties unknown and died In 11
' few days.

Previous to his death be de-
clared that he had been atzm Red by two
highwaymen, one of whom 11 as tall and
the other sh01t. This was all the descrip-
tion he could give of his assailants, and
the police were rather skeptical regard-
ing his story. They inclined to the belief
that his assailant was a woman whose
name Jacobson wished to keep secret. The
affair created something of a sensation
owing to its many mysterious features.
Since J acobson’s death many complaints
have been made to the authorities of high-

way robberies committed throughout the '

city. The complainants invariably de-
scribed their assailants as a tall and a short
man. A man named Sydney Bell was
arrested a few days ago on suspicion of be-
ing one of the robbers. Bell said he came
from Fresno and made a partial confes-
sion. He implicated one Edward Camp-
bell.

The latter was subsequently arrested,
and last night made astartling confession.
He said that Bell and himse'f- on the
night of Aug. 15 last started out to hold

. 1 01 war of California and Webster streets.

TOPICS OF PRACTICAL INTEREST TO ,

AMERICAN HORTICULTURASTS.

 

An Iliastr nted Description of a. Cheap and
. Convenient Conservatory with a List of
Plants It May Contain with Pleasure
and Profit to the Owner.
A' New York correspondent, writing to

Country Gentleman, gave the following
interesting account of his plant house:

 

I}: rznxrausrvu CONSERVATORY.

As may be seen in the sketch there is
a veranda along one side of my house, a
door Opening on. it from the main part as
well as from the rear as shown. Over
the first door I decided to build my plant
house. The floor of the porch was wid-
ened sufficiently by means of planks, and
the conservatory made about. 6 feet wide
and 9 feet long (the sash being 3 by 6
however, being 2
feet longer.

In the cox nets above the end sashes I
put common ban; and used 01 (hnary
window glass. The 100m from which
the (1001 opened contained a large stove,
and 011 this I depended for warmth, but
to be secure against severe weather, I
placed a small stove in the corner, from
which the stov epipe rises. With these
provisions fOI heat 0111 plants did well
all wintei while we propagated a num-
ber of geranimns. Chrysanthemums and
other plants.

The sash was securely nailed together
with small wire nails, and the cracks
covered with tar roofing paper and lath.
At the farther end provision was made
for ventilating by leaving a space in the
glass, in which a board was fitted and
hung on hinges. No opening into this
glass house was left on the outside, the
only entrance being through the inside
door.

As shown by the ground plan, but lit-
tle room was left for walking about, but
it Was sufficient. Above the benches
shown another shelf was placed along
each of the two sides, and at the front
and end were two shelves. On the shelf
against the house were set three Marechal
Niel roses which grew and were trained
by means of wires and strings along the
side of the house and below the glass
roof. These grew very well and flowered
at intervals during the winter.

GROUND PLAN or CONSERVATORY.

Geraniums, fuchsias, ivy geraniums,
callas, coleus, tradwcantia, hydrangeas,
carnations, monthly roses, 2. date palm
from seed, heliotrope, and other kinds
of plants were grown, and which yield-
ed more or less flowers all through the
winter. Although very satisfactory for
the plants, it may perhaps be said that
even more satisfaction was derived from
our little greenhouse' 1n the spring,when
we could sow various kinds of seeds
without going to the trouble of making
a hotbed.

Interesting Points in Strawberry Culture.
The result of experiments conducted
at the Ohio agricultural station in straw—
berry culture makes it appear “ that di-
vision Of labor counts here as elsewhere.
ThOse varieties that produce pollen and
berries also are at a disadvantage as
compared with those that produce ber-
lies only. Give a plant nothing to do
but to grow and bear fruit and the work
will be better done than if an additional
task is imposed. To produce pollen taxes
the energies of the plant much more
than is commonly supposed. Many
growers think it would be desirableto
have varieties with perfect blossoms
only to save the trouble of planting the
two classes. Theory disproves this plan,

and careful observations at the station _

refened to show that m general the most
prolific sorts are those that have Imper-
fect flowers. These statements refer to
the leading varieties that are most gen-
erally grown.

Nearly all of the very early varieties
continue but a short time in bearino
yield but few pickings and give short
crops. The same is true, in a. more
marked degree, of the extreme late
sorts. They begin to ripen . late, but

hold out little, if any, longer than the

medium varieties. The second early or
medium varieties usually give more
pickings duringthe season,andcontinue
ongen 1n bearing, than the extreme

early and late sorts, hence give a'greater

total yield.

Another point observed at this station
is thatif one separates varieties Ofstraw-
bern’es into two classes—via, those that

continue a long time 'in bearing and
those that have a short season, it is

found that the most prolific fallainto the

'firstclass,while those that give small

crops continue but a short timein hear-
ing; in other words, those that give the

' 1 greatest number of pickings during the
season produce the ingest crops.

of the trees come from the Adirondacks,
