Cable Special to Tim HEB.J Years go by ,
but the stalwart form of the great German
chancellor Is still erect , nnd his Intellect as
unclouded as over. Good food , peed wine In
moderation , dally exercise , and n drive In
the open nlr for two hours in the plno forest
nrouud Friedomuho have Icopt hunjioalthy
nnd strong until now , and may do so for
many years. The frequent tributes of the
nfToctlon and esteem of his countrymen ho
highly prlzos. The shabby attacks recently
made upon him oxcllo loss his anger
than his contempt. It was while sitting at
bis dfsk in the library at Friodorsruho that
I called his attention to a paraphiut recently
Dubliaucd in the Berlin Woiu Uom. It is a
defense of the policy of the government smco
the prince retired.
Prlnco Bismarck Bat in a great leather-
covered arm chair. Ho was dressed In n
short military frock coat of plack , buttoned
up closely to the ohln , where a little loosely
tied whlta cravat pooped forth. On the wall
behind him hung the portrait of the kaUcr In
the uniform of a guard of the Hussars ,
mounted , the point of the sword droppad in
aluto. Underneath It were a few gracious
words In the handwriting of the sovereign.-

"JEclmrt , author of the Berlin Wion Uom,1'
aid the prince , "is ono of the Baltic Ger
mans expelled from Uussla in pursuance of
the general Russian policy , or by a special
order. Ho came to Germany n long time ago
nnd established himself at Hamburg. His
views are all colored by a hafod of Kussln
.BO much 10 that ho could not keep n position
as n writer on the Hamburger Correspondent ,
which was , I bolicvo , the newspaper
. ho was nt work on , which is rather
anti-Russian In Its views. But his position
did not suit him. Ho is what wo call uno
pen mauvals conchour totchy. So I gave
htm a plnco as consul at Tunis and loft him
tbcro. Ho has no independence , but writes
or publishes whatever may help him along
in hls'caroor. It , has boon alleged on prqtty
good evido'nco thnVEckart sent his boolc , bu-
fore it was published , to Count von Caprlvl
the projont chancellor. The latter has
spoken of It In the highest terms , so that Us
exposition of the Russian question may bo
loolccd upon as somi-oflleml. When ono con
ciders that the standpoint of Eckart is noces
sadly anti-Prussian ono is curious. The fuc
la that the relations of Germany and Russia
nro not once referred to. Germany is talue

Aiitl-Gcrmiin Writer * Sl/cd Up.
"Ho puts Germany Into tun antl-Russiai :
service , and follows in so doing tbo same
paths as the Poles , social democrats , or Jews.
Tlu latter have bcon nearly nb ill-treated in
Russia as the Poles , or Baltic Germans.
Thcroloro these three , the Poles , Baltic Ger
mans and Jews , are astlvo in tbo press , fos
tering the hatred between Russia and Ger
many , trying to Icludlo war. French money ,
too , has boon used In the Russian press with
this onU in view. Many Russians of Inliu-
once liavo French wives. Russian public
opinion is altered or falsified rather by this
influcnco , with wl'tch Russian papsra have
very little to do. The Rutsian journalist Is
n novel writer , but not an editor ; a pool , but
not a political writer. Ic political in-
trie no nnd press writing they are under
the leadership of foreigners , at times
possibly of the English. This is but nat
ural , for the hatred between Russia ana
Germany servos the purpose of the English
too. There is no need of England's lighting
Russia if Germany talios that trouble off her
bands. So England was at us during the
Crimean war to tranfor the sccuo of the war
from Crimea to Vistula.
"England is right. If I could find a great ,
Btrong , stupid fellow to light my enemy for
mo I would not try to hold him back by any
means.
Where Their Interest IN.
"If I were an EngiUh statesman , I should
do as they do. I would bo a fool if I did not.
Wo are friends with England and should
take her part , but not in the east nor in remote -
mete quarters of Iho earth. England never
took our side In the French war. None of us
is at the disposal of his friends. A
great nation iiUo Germany cannot go to
war in defense of any interests but these of
a German population and there Is none In the
cast. No German father would care to sand
his son out to light for the eastern question ,
anu there are four million of such fathers in
Germany whoso sons go out in case of war
ngnltiBt Franco or Russia. They nro ready
to let them go , but not for the eastern or
Balkan or Indian question. That Is the
business of Austria , Italy or England , but it
is not business ot ours. All wo could do for
England in case of war with Russia would
bo to keep Franco in chuclc. "
The correspondent then observed : ' 'Then
ID that case it would DO hurd for the French
government to keep that uatton quictl"
. Alwuy * WHIIilB to l/lilit rrunco.
' Then lot them como on , " answered the
prince. "Wo are always ready to fight
Franco , for she is tbo only power that
menaces our Independence. If Franco should
light Russu again , uo sbould liuvo no Inter
est In keeping I'Vnneo from It. If wo had un
alliance- with Russia , wo should light Franco
rs soon as war broke out between Franco
and Russia , but as wo have not , wo must
Juago our position towards Franco by our
political intents ulono. Via could not let
Franco attack Austria , un independent and
powerful nation. Austria is u necessity for
Germany. If Franco or Russia attacked
her , we could not remain Inditteront specta
tor * , but tboro li no reciprocity in the case.
Austria ( fives us no security that ho will
bo our ally If Franco attacks us , notwlth-
lauding that wo are botui'l to defend Aus.
trla both lit tbo oait and wuat. Austria is
only obliged to help us In caio of war with
Russia , so that this pamphlet of Eouarts1 is
silent Just upon the most important part of
Oermnn policy. This is the most Insidious
sllonco. The pamphlet Is meant to sot Ger
many on like u bull ( log against Russia. "

ROME , May 28. Under date of May 23 ,
Archbishop Ireland wrote to Cardinal Ram-
polla , papal secretary of state , stating that
tbo article that appeared in the Civllta Cat-
tolica on May IS parvorts the moaning cf
the decision of the commission of the pro
paganda fldo , ratlflejlby the holy sop , In ro-
'atlon to the Farfbault and Stlllwalor ques
tion. The article , the archbishop adds , has
already been announced in the United States
as containing the formal ofllclal interpreta
tion of the decision , and efforts have bcon
purposely mndo to extol the authority of the
Civlltn Cattollca that the article may have
moro weight on public opinion'
The archbishop addressed a letter to
Cardinal Ramnnllu , inquiring if the nrtlclo
was authorized by the holy sco. Cardinal
Rampolla has replied that it was nowise
correct to say that articles in the Civilta
CaUolicaurc , as "hold by some , submitted
before being printed , to the revision and np-
proval of ttits holy sco. rio assures Archbishop -
bishop Ireland , m the most formal manner ,
that no previous communication was made to
the Vatican of Iho article in question , and
adds that the ruling having como long ago ,
and the fact that certain articles wcro being
prepared on this question being known to
tbo directors of the paper , the publication of
such articles would bo unbecoming wbilo the
question was ponding.

BKIIU.V , May 28.-f Now York Herald Cable
Special to THE UUK.J Berlin has caught
the World's Jalr fovur. It has the disease in
its malignant form , and It will taku a great
deal of persuasion to convince it that before
a World's fair can bopo to succeed hero Ber
lin will have to change her ways , liorllnora
will have to become cosmopolitan , and all
above all there hss to bo an cud of tbo ultra
military < < ysiom which at prwont takoi to
much from the enjoyment of llfo along Under
den Linden. Whllo civilians are at the
uieroy of any VOUDK lieutenant who swag
ger * past them , aud while moffonuivo
ers risk their heads if they resent onllylng
nnd Insult , it Is not tu bo suppled th.it Ber
lin , handsome nnd prosperous though It maybe
bo , will prove attractive to foreigners. Per
haps there are paoplo dimly conscious of nil
thif , for I scu that it has already been pro
posed in certain quarters to replace the pro
posed World's ' fair by n nioro modest Ger
man exhibition.
Ordinary civilians nro not the only victims
of this military system of Germany. Tno
case of Lieutenant von Lucius , who fell foul
of the town : ; uard at Mnlnz lately , and would
have killed him had not u sturdy cab driver
threatened to knock the aggressor's brains
out with the butt end of his whip , is the
most recent case that has happened , but
there have boon muny such cases. Von
Lucius did not shine iu this advcnturo. Tbo
policeman was applauded by the Mainz town
council , and the pluoky cab driver has not so
far been molested.
All this Is well worth noting , for Von
Lucius Is I ho son of u rich Jtnvlsh gentle
man , who stands high in the good graces of
the omparOr. Or.ly a fortnight ago Baron
, 'on Lucius ( his original name , I bollovo , was
Iccht ) accompanied hU majesty to a pcr-
ormanco of "Richard III. " nt the Berliner
beater , a fact , by the by , that caused some
ndlviduals to comment at the tlmo.
.Much Smoke for I.lltlu Flro.
The slight excitement with which some of
ho German papers have been writing on the
. ' " 'unoy fete * bnvo already calmed down. It
was never half ns serious ns seems to have
been fancied in Paris , and it certainly was
not shared by the government. The report
hat there has boon some thought of roply-
ng to the Nancy demonstration by the
mobilization of two Gorman army corns is
ivhat the French would term a "Knowing
poavorslon of the truth. "
Some ill feeling has , of-courso. boon stirred
up by the inevitable ostracism of Grman
tudcnts by tbo youth of Nancy. Tbcro has
boon some angry talk in some papers , but
that is all. The Bocoson Courier voiced the
healthy thought of Germany when , referring
o tbo fetes and to President Carnot's in
tended trip , It remarked : "President Carnet -
not has a perfect right to travel where ho
Ikos In the land of which ho is chlof. No
one has nuy right to take ollonso nt the loya
demonstrations which may mark his jour
ney. It would bo shameful for us if wo had
to admit that Carnot's projected visit teNancy
Nancy had inspired the least uneasiness in
Germany. "

LINCOLN , Nob. , May 28. [ Special Tele
gram to Tun BciV. . H. Irvine had his
preliminary examination before Judge
Waters shortly after 0 this afternoon. The
proceedings wore very brief , scarcely lasting
flvo minutes. Mr. Irvine was brought from
the penitentiary in a hack accompanied by
bis attorneys. Ho entered the court room
with his f co hurled in a tiandkcrchiof aud
was evidently suffering intense mental
agony. Ho did not raise his eyes but once
or twice during the brief examination.
But ono witness was called E * ! Tollivcr ,
thn colored waitnr.at- Hotel Lincoln who
was nc eye witness to the tragedy last
Thursday morning : District Attorney Snoll
conducted the brief examination , not ask
ing moro tban a half a dozen questions. At
the conclusion of Tolllvor's testimony Judge
Waters stated that ho would hold the
prisoner to the district court on the charge
of murder.
During the proceeding ! and while the mit
timus was being made out , Irvine's frame
was shaken by sobs and several agonized
expressions escaped bis lips. Ho was then
supported to the hack and taken back to the
penitentiary.
The only development of interest today
was the announcement that Nellie Roberts , a
well known woman about town , and who
was the mistress of Montgomery for a long
time , bad engaged attorneys to prosecute
claim against the Montgomery estate in
favor or her child , which was born about a
year and a half ago and which she claims Is
the son of Montgomery. Sue claims to have
documents in which Montgomery acknowl
edged himself tbo father of the child.

Pmi.ADEU'HiA , Pa.May 23. The sixth an
nual meeting of the American Baptist Homo
Missionary society began yesterday. There
was great applause when Dr. Fulton pre
sented resolutions requesting congress to
withhold its appropriation of $5OdO,003 to
ward the Columbian exposition until the fair
commissioners have given tbo guarantee that
iho exposition shall not be open on Sundays.
The resolution opposed the erection of a Ro
man Catholic monastery on the exposition
grounds , claiming the fair is Intended to
"show tlio progress of a land that has thrown
off the yoke of Roman Catholicism" and
that "this is n land for homos.and not for
monasteries aud nunneries. "

WEU.INOTOX , Kan. , May 28. This city
is a scene of desolation , A cyclone in its
most awful form Inftho twinkling of an eye
"ast night transformed the peaceful , happy
.own Into a city of despair. A
hcuvy storm of wind nnd rain preceded
the cyclone about half an hour. A few min
utes after 0 o'clock 'tho cyclone struck the
city , coming from , 'tho soutnwtst. There
were no promonltoryslgnj. Everybody was
ndoors nnd the cloud passed , with its de
structive rush and awful roar , unseen.
Daylight's A'wtul Iluvelntlom.
The destruction Io41fo and property was
torrlblo. In the darkness and confusion last
night it was not possible to realize the enor
mity of the calamity. The light of day invests -
vests the scone of destruction With a distinct ,
awful realization of its scopo. The loss of
llfo Is appalling ana the destruction ot prop
erty great.
The storm was rotary , coming from tbo
southwest. It descended on the city with
appalling force. It suddenly rose , sucking
everything up , and 'as suddenly dropping it.
Trees were torn from tbolr roots , houses
were spun nroundj freight cars were lifted
and carried 200 feet , and stones were lifted
to the second stories !
The loss of proporty. iu this city mono is
1500,000. Nearly all tbo largo stocks of goods
in the city wero.destroyed by the cloud
burst which followed the cyclono.

Wellington is the county seat of Sumner
county and uas a population of over 4,000.
It is the center uf a thickly settled agri
cultural district. It is the most prominent
town iu southern Kansas ,
The cyclone did not.Qo much damage until
it ranched the very center of the town. On
Jefferson avenue it deitroyod tbo Lutheran
church , but only unroofoa tbo residences.
Its most furious wdrjc1 was done within the
compass of four squares ; bounded by Jeffer
son avenue , Avenue U and Seventh and
Ninth streets. Evo'ry'biillding In these two
squares was domolls'lVed and wrecked.

Deutli Nuept Uoun on the Duneor * .
The most appalling scene was that at the
Phillips house when ) a ball was in progress
who.n the cyclone , burst , The dancers were
given Jlttlo opportunity to escape from the
toppling structure. As , ( ho building began
swaying in the torrjflo gale the people la the
crowded ballroorfi made a Jrautlo rush for
the doors. The ttalrway * aud balls ware Im
mediately Ulledby * tbo crazed man and
women , who toro at each other In their mad
rush for the open nir.
With the crash of the walls about and ever
them , there arose n great wall of despair
from the Imprisoned and doomed multitude.
As tbo timbers crushed down upon the strug
gling merrymakers their cries were throttled"
by tbo weight of the mass of timbers nhnvo
them. Then came tbo sllonco of death and
Insensibility , only to DB followed n moment
Inter by the thrill blasts of the tempest as
It rushed on to other destructive work.
These who escaped from the building bo-
pan Immediately the work of rescue. Some
of these who flol from the building had left
wives and swcathoartt , husbands and
brothers behind. Tneso they sought in the
pile of bricks and tlmboM. As fast as the
bodies were taken out they wore , surrounded
by n crowd of anxious pcoplo who tried to
indcntlfy the mangled remains.
Clu-litlmii Caught on Their Kncm.
A mcotinft of the Salvation Army WAS in
progress In a hall near the Robinson block.
The falling walls of this building crushed
.ho hall. It was past tlmo for the army to
adjourn , but the storm kept the meeting in
progress. Ono of the men was engaged in
prayer when the cyclone struck the Robin-
on block. Bofuro nny of the soldlon could
nso from their knees the walls of the build-
ng gave way with a crash. How nny of
.ncm . escaped ullvo is a marvel.
Heartrending Hospital Scene * .
The sccno at the temporary hospital was
mo rarolv witnessed except upon a battle
field. The floor was saturated with blood ,
ivhicu gushed from many wounds of the
many persons who were taken there ns soon
ns they could bo extricated from the wrecked
buildings. Tbcro was llttio effort at order.
Everyone was too excited for that. Every
one was carried in nnd placed in the first va
cant place that could bo found upon the floor.
Then tbo rescuers hurried away to renew
their efforts la behalf of these still In the
ruins.
All the physicians in the town hastened to
the spot , but there were not onoucrh to at
tend to all the cases. They in no case could
aflbrd moro than temporary relief. Not a
wound could bo dressed beyond the immedi
ate requirements of the caio. In some In
stances limbs were amputated in the hurried
manner that was common in war hospitals
thirty years ago. Scalp wounds and lacera
tions wcro attended to by volunteers , for tbo
surgeons had their hands full relieving the
moro seriously hurt.
Agonizing Search fur the MlKHlng.
The groans and cries that went up from
iho buildings were terrlllo. An attempt was

The storm formed northwest of the town

ivas any , has been received bore , ns all com
munication by wlro wai cut off. The relief

, vent on to Crystal Springi and may roturu
tonight with the details of the storm. In the
meantime nothing is Known of the disaster
except from the rnero fact that the town was
demolished.
From Crystal Springs the utorm swept
with tcrrlblo forcoovor the country in the di
rection , of Harnor , carrying everything uo-
ere it. Many baniB nnd farm houses were
blown down , but it Is not known that any
Ivos \ \ cro lost.

LONDON , May 23. iNow York llcraul Cnblo
Special to Tim Bii : : . ] In the midst of
housnuds of conflicting rumors as to the
date of the next general election , 1 repeat
uy statement that by the middle of July or
hereabouts all will bo over. That moitim
dissolution souiewhero about the 20th of
tune , therefore Gladstone will not have
much longer to wait for the decision of his
'ater 1 have never seen him look so worn
and aired of Into. Ills energy nnd hopoful-
loss that has enabled him to hoar the
burden of ciRhty-throo years' strain is tcllluir
upon him , yet his physical aud mental
lowers are truly astonishing.
Tuesday afternoon I hoard him deliver n
sp.cch of ever an hour's ' duration , which had
all the points put with the utmost clearness
nnd precision. You could scarcely nay n sol-
tary word was In the wrong placo. The
lorsplration stood out in groit bonds on his
'orohcad. He sat down looking qulto ox-
.muslod. Wticn ha wont homo ho dressed
'or flintier and turned up again in tbo bou&o
of commons to vote. Really there is some
thing uncanny about the nnduranco of this
wonderful man , I was talking yesterday
with ono of his suppnrtors , a mctnbor of his
ast ministry , on his chances for success at
.ho polls.
1'Xpcot a Comileto | Victory.
"Wo expect to como In , " said the radical
friend , "with n majority of from fifty to
sixty. If wo got less than that wo can not
expect to go on long In doubt ns to whothoi
form of the government would make it
possible for us to carry homo rule. If w
declared as much and give up the Irish would
como down upon us nnd turn us out directly.
There Is no use to blink at that fact. Tha
majority is only twenty to thirty , not enough
to enable us to keep in ofllco six months.
'Now ' Mr. Gladstone requires at least
forty-two seats v inord than ho has got to
mauo .him. .cqUal to.tho conservative party.
Ho must , according to our own calculations ,
got. twenty moro before ho can establish a
strong government. Ilo has driven out slxty
two conservatives from the English constitu
encies and put in as man } ' of his own men.
It must all bo doiio in England , for Scotland ,
Ireland and Wnlus have already glvon him
us many ns they can. 1 do not sea whore ha
s to pick up tno requisite sixty-two
scats unless a cyclone wave passes over the
country , swooping all existing land marks
away. The llckloness of public opinion is
proverbial , but that does not always answer
to base one's calculations upon. It some
times turns out moro firm nnd unshaken than
the loaders of the parties , and so may provu
a greater issue 'than the union or
separation. Tha House of Commons
consist of 070 memoes , tbo Irish nationalists
numbering eighty-six , Even if they held
together for Gladstone , which is extremely
doubtful , they are not able to Improve his
present position. Ho must win seats from
the liberal unionists nnd conservatives.
When that Is done so must ho take care not
to offend the Irish contini/ent.
' It is n rope of many strands , upon whicli
depones his political lifo. Some of then *
trunds are not yet nt his command.

"Many uncertainties appear to surround
his history. The position President Harri
son or Blaine or Cleveland ii simple and
easy compared with tno largo complications
which envelop Gladstone. Have the Kngllsb.
pcoplo changed their minds about homo ruloi
Will they IUMV agree on what they angrily
rejected in 18S01 Ono can only aay that they
may do to. There Is no evidence to justify
tlio'.w.jelusion that they will , yet upon tlilo
they cast the die that Gladstone bases nil his
hopes of success. Lord Sallsuury never
takes n snugulno view of anything. Perhaps
ho docs not anticipate being called back to
powor. Privately ho does not wish It ,
"Tho whole aspect of tlio contest was
nearly changed Thursday by a couple of run
away horses. Salisbury is not n llgtit weight.
To bo completely overturned In a carriage )
and forcibly dragged from the dobrls is any
thing but a summer day's amusement. Ho
was bhnkcu up , but nothing serious is the
matter.
"Tho conservative1 ! cannot lese him. If
that mlsfortunu happened they would milt
have Bulfour as a reserve , young , onorgctlo
and popular. Where could the Gladstonlans
ook for a successor tlionl They will
have to face it before long. They go into
a campaign with a commander who cannot
servo them much lont/or at host , then the
future before the iurty is obscure and
doubtful.
"Tho torlos on their parts must glvo up all
old traditions or Chamberlain and his fol
lowers can no longer act with them. For all
practical purposes tno lory party is dead ,
These vast changes were brought 'about by
the necessity of the cast. Indirectly they
wore the work of the Irlih leader who first
made the parliamentary government impossi
ble without his concurrence. Parnell swept
Gladstone into Maelstrom , Homo rule drove
the lory party Into the arms of Ctmiriberlain.
