LONDON , June 22. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The attitude
of the French at Kiel has been watched
throughout Europe with almost as much In
terest as the historic ceremonies. From the
characteristically meager Information given In
either the English , German or French news
papers It would appear that the French bfll-
cers behaved themselves with churlish In
civility , going through only the compulsory
olllclal routine , giving and accepting no
courtesies , and last night , when all the other
visiting vessels were brilliantly Illuminated ,
shrouding their ship * so that even the port-
hoi o lights were darkened. All anti-German
demonstrations were , It Is true , promptly
suppressed In Paris by the police , but the
Figaro of. yesterday distributed a cartoon , by
the talentoJ caricaturist , Foran , representing
the symbolic figure of Franco standing on the
bank of the North Sea canal with dishevelled
gown and watching the Ironclads pass below ,
with this legend : "Comment , cost trlste
d'etre la Avro lo mantcau dlaherl. "
BITTER WORDS FROM DE CASSAONAC.
Meanwhile French protests against the alli
ance with Russia Increases In the Parisian
press. MM. E3mon < J Adam and Edouard
Drumont and now Paul De Cassagn.ic have
this week ad3ed their warnings to the growing
chorus. The latter credits the czar with
having forced the presence of the French
ships at Kiel.
"Wo cannot help feeling a grudge against
Russia , " ho says , "for having BO wantonly
Ignored and wounded our national sentiment ,
and wo arc naturally led to ask what profit
Franco la likely to gain In return for all she
lias done for Russia , for whom she has sac
rificed money , pride and honor ? What was
the motive of the Russian alliance ? To keep
us out of a conflict with Germany ? The
usefulness of this safeguard disappears from
the moment we enter the avenue of recon
ciliation with Germany , and now that the
cup of shame has been drunk to the dregs ,
why not ally ourselves directly with Ger
many ? We can scarcely be moro dishonored
than wo ara after Kiel , and wo should at
least have the very costly commission which
wo have had to pay for Russia's good of
fices. The further we move Into the good
graces of Germany the less we shall want
an alliance , which was only meant to guar
antee us against Germany. "
ADVERTISING THE ST. LOUIS.
The matter with Sir Julian Pauncefoto's
trip on the SU Louis , of which I gave the
World the first Intimation , published every
where , continues.to exclto extraordinary In
terest In the northwest of England and Ire
land , and oven the fall of the government
will probably not prevent Its being- made a
serious question when the diplomatic supply
bill comes to bo voted. The Liverpool mem
bers of Parliament , especially , declare It
must bo the last tlmo a British olllclal will
bo permitted to come over In an American
ship. They point out that ever since the
establishment of the American line to South
ampton members of the American embassy
had Invariably patronized the American company :
nho
pany and never British 'ones. They say the
contention of Forwood , M. P. , on Thursday
was correct , and that Sir Julian , having come
over chiefly to confer with the British cabinet
ibml
inet on the Boring sei and other International
questions , his traveling expenses were paid
by the government. It Is certain from the
.
ncuto condition of feeling In Liverpool that
If Sir Julian returns by the Southampton
route a motion will be made In committee
of supply of the Houeo of Commons by them
to reiluco his salary , In order to call atten
tion to tile matter. The net practical effect ,
however , all of this outcry and these questions
28hc
tions In Parliament has been to give the
American line a tremendous advertisement.
GIBBONS REMAINS AT ROME.
The World correspondent learned today
from Archdeacon Johnston , Cardinal
Vaughan's secretary , that a Utter has Just
been received from Cardinal Gibbons , ex
tremely regretting that he could not leave
Rome In tlmo to attend the great function of
laying the foundation stone of the now Cath
olic cathedral In Westminster next Saturday.
Cardinal Gibbons had hoped to bo present and
had accepted nn Invitation , but ho 11 ml9 he
cannot safely leave Rome , as ho Is In con
stant consultation with the Vatican author
ities on Important questions affecting : here
church .In America. The Standard's Rome
correspondent says the cardinal Is being received
ceived by the Vatican with exceptional honor ,
is the pope wishes , If possible , to prevent
the presentation of a memorial of grievances
from the American hierarchy , of which here
li the bearer. Cardinal Gibbon * will only retrain -
. train from presenting the memorial by a
concession of the demand of the American :
bishops , and though ho has been officially
feted and lionized , there It yet no Indication
that ho has received any tangible promise of
an abandonment of the recent Vatican policy
toward the United State ) . Cardinal Gibbons'
decUton to rcmatu at Rome at thli excess
ively unhealthy season Is Interpreted In well
Informed Catholic circles here us Intended to ' '
demonstrate to the Vatican his resolute de
termination to tee his ml&stou ign
quickly , despite the procrastinating ways ignof
the Vatican authorities.
ARISTOCRACY ON WHEELS.
Report * from New Yorkers recently arrived
rived here lay the bicycling craro there em
braces all classes , but It can hardly be mas
extraordinarily an epMemlc as In London.
It It the chief occupation , seemingly , of the
ultra-fashionable set , and Is having curlcut
development. Cycling Is not yet permitted In
either Hyde or Regent's park , but the very I
latest fail of the ( mart set I * to make up
parties to ride at the dead of night through )
the descried asphalt itrcett of tun city , A
tew nights since Lord Cadogin gave a dlnicr
party at which the guem Included the duch-
ess of Sutherland , Lady Arlington , Countess
Dudley , Lady Chelsea , with several men
prominent In the social world , The ladles
dined In their cycling costumes , consisting
of bloomers , covered In all cases by a light
skirt , while the men were In knickerbockers.
At half-past 10 the party , to the number of
eighteen , set off on cycles for the region
between St , Paul's and the Tower , where , at
that hour , except an occasional policeman ,
hardly a soul Is to be seen. Their example
Is now being generally Imitated , so that
the city Is careened over nightly by many
parties from the West End. Among public
men the exercise Is beginning to find many
devotees. Mr. Bolfour Is an expert rider
and returned this week from Ashted park ,
the residence of the carl of Brownlow , In
Lincolnshire , to London , a distance of ICO
miles on his bicycle , accompanied by Ml.
George Wyndesam , his private secretary. A
few days ago the sedate janitors at the
Carlton club were amazed to see Mr. Dalfour ,
with Sir John Gorst and Mr. Broderlck , mem
bers of the late tory government , alight
from their bicycles at the club door and take
their machines Into the hall , while the ;
themselves lunched. The origin , o ( the
craze In fashionable London society was the
adoption of cycling by the youngest prin
cesses of Wales.
FOR ENTERTAINING ACTRESSES.
Despite Queen Victoria's recognition of
the dignity of the dramatic profession by
knighting Henry Irving , the authorities of
Lincoln college , Oxford , have Just Inflicted
severe punishment on an undergraduate for
' having entertained at tea In his college
rooms two lady members of a very respect
able theatrical company playing In that city.
Not a word could , be said against the reputa
tion of clthar of the ladles , while the under
graduate bore an unexceptionable record.
An example somewhat In line has Just been
afforded by the Protestant vicar of Gospel
Oak , near London. Recently the organist of
his church attended as a witness at the
registry ofilco of the marriage between May
Yohe and Lord Francis Hope , and for thus
countenancing the secular rite the organist
was dismissed from his situation In the
church. In this case , however , the vicar has
laid himself open to legal proceedings for
punishing an employe for doing what he had
a legal right to do.
HIS GUILT UNCERTAIN.
Chief Hazen of the United States secret
service Is In London , watching the case of
Mendel Howard , Just convicted of counter-
felting. Howard says he Is a civil engineer
In the United States , and had patented there
eleven different Inventions. He did not
claim citizenship and says he was born In
Germany. Justice Wright , In sentencing him
to ten years' penal servitude , seems to have
had some doubts of his guilt , since he de
clared that If at any tlmo the prisoner was
able to bring forward any person whose
evidence might tend to show Innocence on
his part , he himself would take care that the
Information should be placed before her
majesty's advisers and the proper weight
would be given to It , and the prisoner would
have every facility for communicating with
any person who might give Information tend
ing to substantiate his Innocence.
Marmaduke Wood , a young Englishman
who made some stir In New York a few
months ago and who was lately charged
here with giving worthless checks , was
yesterday acquitted.

MADRID , June 22. The Madrid press Is
publishing Inflammatory statements as to the
reported demand of the United States for the
settlement of the Mora claim. The , Impres
sion apparently Is that Havana Is to be seized
and held unles the Mora claim Is paid. The
Madrid newspapers say editorially that Presi
dent Cleveland's recent proclamation against
Cuban filibustered In the United States was to
bo followed by a payment of the Spanish
government of the Mora
claim. The papers
take the position that under this under

exert themselves to carry out the president's
proclamation by a suppression of the filibus
tered until Spain has actually p.ild the claim.
Them Is silence on the subject In government

LONDON , June 22. ( New York World
CablEgram Special Telegram. ) It Is eti
quette that a resigning ministry shall give
no hint of Its Intention until It has been
first announced to the queen and then to the
House of Commons , but there Is practically
no doubt that the Hosebery government ,
after the cabinet council of five hours today ,
determined to resign , and that Lord Rosebery ,
who had already been "commanded" to din
ner at Windsor this evening , seized thu
occasion to surrender ofilce. H Is also the
custom that he shall recommend to her
majesty his successor. He may name Lord
Salisbury , Mr. Balfour or the duke of Devon
shire. It Is etiquette for the queen to send
first for the person named. If Lord Sails-
bury , he may decline and suggest Mr. Balfour
or the duke of Devonshire. In cither case
It seems to be the general Impression that
even the conservative party will not again
risk a peer premier and that Balfour will bo
chosen.
But In event any of the three or any other
may decline , then Rosebery retains office in a
stronger position than before he had been de
feated. Ho offers the opposition control of
the government ; they decline ; therefore they
confess ho has a real majority as represent
ing the effective lower house. If a conserva
tive leader accepts , there Is no real doubt he
has a majority , even If small , against him.
He cannot dissolve Parliament until the sup
plies have been voted , and the liberal ma
jority can prolong the session for months.
The defeat yesterday was on a snap vote , and
one on which the conservatives will be at a
sentimental and even patriotic disadvantage.
It was about as sharp practice , very like , a
conspiracy , Indeed , as ever was the work of a
boss In a state legislature with us.
ROSEBERY HAS THE BETTER OF IT.
The Hcsebery government has been for
weeks In almost dally danger.of defeat at the
hands of Its own retainers , Welsh or Irish
ihs
disaffected ones. Rosebery luck continues ,
L'no opposition has played Into his hands , and
he could not possibly have had a1 better cp-
porCunlty for resignation. It does not seem
posslb > , however , there will be a general
election , for at least six weeks to come , If
even before autumn. In the meantime , the
tory government , if It accepts ofilce , will ba
confronted with a hostile House , and must
lose prestige dally.
Today's result Is commonly accepted as tbe
work of Joseph Chamberlain , the Machlavelll
of British politics. Here Is the situation as
given me tonight by a shrewd and experienced
1
observer :
On tactical grounds It Is evident that
Rosebery ts far better advlssd to resign than
tc demand the queen's authority for an Instant
tcsi ills
stant dissolution. By resigning the liberals
will throw on to torles and liberal unionists
the j responsibility of forming a government
jtc ntHI
tc complete the essential work of the session
tca
and the voting of supplies before they can
appeal to the country. Debates on the supply
I
ply can be continued by the liberals until [ 1
such tlmo as suits them to have a gen
eral election so that the torles , though In
office , would bo at the mercy of the liberals
In opposition. Another reason why the lib
eral : favor a resignation of the cabinet Is be
cause the tory leaders will be forced to deal
now with the claims of Chamberlain and the
liberal unionists following to office without
having the advantage ot tesllng the liberal
unionist Influence In the country by a gen-
eral election ,
CHAMBERLAIN'S OWN CRISIS.
Mr. Chamberlain has forced the present
crisis against the Judgment and wishes of
Mr. Balfour. The tory leaders desired that
the government should continue In power In
expectation that the longer they remained
the better chance the torles might get of eda
majority of Independent liberal unionists
vote , which would have enables them tu
adopt a firm attitude In the apportionment of
places among the liberal unionists. Chamber
lain 1 ; has defeated this policy by precipitating
the t present crisis , and It is now known that
.
the defeat of the government was secured
} |
lb an unexpected and abnormal rally o :
Chamberlain's followers. It Is even said that
they entered the building by the private
doors ot the speaker's residence so as to
avoid marking by the government whips.
U Is possible the tory leaders may decline
to take ofllcc under such circumstances. In
which event the present cabinet would be
restored and would be In a more powerful
position than ever , as being forced to retain
I
office by the Incapacity of Its opponents to
undertake Its
IRISH AFTER GLADSTONE. I
Contrary to prevailing statements on the
tubject , the World correspondent can posi
tively assert that the McCarthylte Irish party
U In favor of a resignation. The obstruction
of the Welsh church bill by the torles and
the Inability ot the ministers with the pres
ent majority to enforce a closure re'nders the
chance of passing an Irish land bill extremely
remote. Thu hope of securing a land bill
was the sole ground on which the McCarthy-
lies ' were reconciled to keep the present gov
ernment In power for the remainder of the
session , and the action ot the torles In pre
venting the passage ot that measure will as
sist the McCarthyltes In winning the tory
agricultural constituencies In Ulster , The
Irish leaders are bringing a strong Influence
to bear on Mr , Gladstone to make one more
pronouncement on the Irish question , either
by speech or manifesto , which , In their opin
ion , would again make home rule the prom
inent question at the general election. Glad
stone's attent has not to far been obtained ,
but the McCarthyltes are hopeful that his
unabated Interest In the success of home
rule iiiay Induce * him to depart from his ofl- ,
repeated resolution never to Interfere again '
In current politic ) ' .
T. P , O'Connor evidently received Uie resig
nation with pleasure. He will say In his
paper , the Sun , tomorrow , that "I Dm bound 11
to y I do not think the government could ! 1
have adopted any other 'course and defeat
might have come In a. mucfi "worse form. It
might have como from 'Mr. Lloyd George , and
then wo should have had' TJligllsh liberals
lukewarm , because of folly ; or It might have
come through the Parnellltcrf , and then we
should have other liberals protesting against
Jrlsh Ingratitude. On the other hand , defeat
has como on no question of ministerial policy ,
and has been brought alone by a very shabby
trick and a most unusual and Indeed unpa
triotic departure from 6fadal and parlia
mentary traditions. "
WHERE BIMETALLISM FIGURES.
When the general election does come , the
blmctalllsts In America need not count on
that movement hero being made an Issue
byMr the conservatives , albeit Mr. Balfour and
Mr Chaplin ore pronounced blmctalllsts
and Mr. Groschen , the future tory chancellor
of the exchequer. Is well understood to bo of
an open mind on the question. The conservative
tlv leaders are too shrewd ta precipitate BO
controversial a question now on the great
body of electors. If Ihey secure office It will
bome tlmo to declare the sympathy of the govern
ment. A conservative government , however ,
Isonl quite certain to be more sympathetic not
only toward an International conference , but
I 1 toward some practical discussion of the ques
tion than Is the present ministry. I have
been given tonight advance proofs of an ad
dress < to bo sent to the chancellor of the ex
chequer by the Bimetallic league , signed by
many politicians , bankers , merchants and
representallves of the' Working classes. It
attacks the contention of the monometalllsts
tinge the prosperity ot England Is due to the
gold standard.
"These results , " say the memorialists ,
' "were achieved before the adoption ot the
gold standard In this country , and It must
also be remembered that during the chief
part of that period for nearly sixty years
after 1S1C , all the business ot this , country
and the world was conducted under the
dominating Influence of the blmetalllst sys
tem. So long as that s'ystoin was maintained
by the action of the foreign countries there
was little , If any fluctuation or divergence In
the relative values of gold and silver. The
parity between them for all practical pur
poses was steadily maintained. The standard
of value was comparatively stable , Industries
flourished , general prosperity Increased , and
the commerce of this country was conducted
with equal facility whether with gold or sil
ver-using countries , in all parts of the world.
ATTRIBUTED TO A SINGLE STANDARD.
"We acknowledge that sj long as that posi
tion was maintained the "gold standard suf
ficiently supplied our needs , 'but the experi
ence of recent years has convinced us that
these Important results were'due not to the
operation of our single standard , but to the
universal adoption of the double standard.
We are confirmed In this Opinion by the fact
that with the abandonment of bimetallism
the Immense advantages wo have referred to
have entirely disappeared since that event
occurred and silver was' dethroned. The at
tempt has been made for the' first time In Its
history to conduct the business of the western
world on a gold basis alone. This novel and
great experiment has been followed by Its
natural results , a wide and Increasing di
vergency and constant fluctuations In the
value of precious me.tals , which have hin
dered and embarrassed 'trade and a progres
sive fall In price ? , whltrl'ha's ' been fatally Th-
Juclous to Industrial undertakings. None of
I the alarming consequence's which are now
\ foreshadowed by your other memorialists
occurred under bimetallism In the past , and
while experience proves that It was co
existent with our period of greatet prosperity
no argument or reason has been hitherto ad
duced to warrant the assumption that these
consequences would bs likely to arise If It
was adopted In the future. On the other
hand , It Is not denied'that since the mints of
I foreign countries have been closed to the free
coinage of silver , new conditions have arisen
which have > vitally affected the operation of
our single standard , nn.d all the business then
transacted by Its means , having regard to
various considerations which we have ven
tured to submit.
t
WHY THEY COMB"FORWARD. .
"Morcovtr , It Is a fact -that the very evils
which your memorialists allege will happen
from any change cr modification In our cur-
rency. Under the operation of our present I
' i
system contracts have been disturbed , the
burden of the debtor has Been doubled , prop
erty depreciated , and enterprise ts checkeJ ,
with a corresponding loss of cipltal embargo 1
In industry and of employment to the workIng -
Ing classes. Surely these are matters of
grave and serious Importance which deserve
and should command attention , and yet they
appear to be entirely Ignored by buslnes ? men
In the city of London , ani not even to have
entered Into their consideration. We think
with great respect that" with the general
and widespread depression In the textile ,
coal , Iron , shipping and other great Indus
tries , in the parliamentary committees sit
ting even now to Inquire Into the condition
of the unemployed , and with agriculture
grievously affected and In many districts well
nigh ruined1 In addition , It may be well for
your memorialists to remember that It U on
the welfare of her commerce and her Indus
tries even more than on'her banking Inter
ests that the prosperity of the country and
its people ultimately depends. We observe
that they affirm that they ( the monometallic
memorialists ) were not concerned to offer
an opinion as long as It was proposed to ap
ply the bimetallic principle to foreign nations
only.
"We believe that the .effect of reestablishing
ing I bimetallism would 1)6 the same with or
without our concurrerico-iwItSi other nations ,
but In view of the vasttie'ss' of our commerce ,
of the burden of Indebtedness which is borne
0v 0L our colonies and Inbfa , "and the fact that
wo have two different lyftems of currency I
within the empire at jfrcpc'nt , we think that |
no peoplo. In the world is moro Interested
In this subject thanaufserves and that we
fo
ought to heartily cojopirate ; with foreign na
tions In an endeavor to aetrieve It. Itoo ex
perience ot history , the 'teachings of science
and the conclusions , ot authority expressed In
the t unanimous report ot'itnc ' gold and silver
commission , unite In supporting the opinion
that under the operation , lot this system the
relative value of the mVtaH was successfully
maintained and that unfler.-any condition to be
reasonably anticipated similar results must be
expected In the future , 'fhe'fccent statements
on behalf the French Koyefrunent , Hie resolu
tions t of thor .German ' ilelchstag and state
council , as well a's ot both houses of the Prus
sian Diet , and the emphatic declarations of
the t government of tHe UnJted-StaUs In favor
ot International bimetallism are proof of a
desire on the part of France , Germany and
the t United States to join with the United
1I Kingdom 1 In a serious endeavor to accom
plish I this great end. "

IJERLIN , June 22. Public Interest , as
might bo expected , lin ? been monopolized dur
ing the past week with .the festivities at
Hamburg and at Kiel , upon the
occasion of the opening ot the
Kalwr Wllhelm canal , and Berlin has
been deserted by nearly all the prominent
men. The newspapers have devoted pages
every day to the canal celebrations and everynn'
thing done and said has been liberally com"K
mented upon. Emperor William's speech at
the Hamburg banquet was enthusiastically
received here , and the strers laid by him on
the peaceful significance of the event caused
general pleasure. So has the fact that a
most amicable entente seemed to exist be
tween the emperor and all the German sov
ereigns. At the Hamburg banquet the em
peror , the moment the king of Bavaria rose
to speak , poured wine Into the latter's glass ,
and his cordial attentions to the king of ,
Saxony were favorably noticed. His ma
jesty's peaceful utterances have also been
very well received In Austria.
A dispatch from Vienna states that Herr
Dumba , reporter of the budget committee ,
speaking to the Austrian delegation today ,
referred to the speeches of the emperor , sayIng -
Ing ; "These assurances of peace by our au
gust ally find a mighty echo In Austria ,
which Is In perfect harmony with these words
of peace. The creation of such a work of
peace as the Baltic canal Is proof that both
states and people nowadays are engaging In a
widely different struggle , and that the compe
tition In the world's trade Is now purely
confined to the domain of economy. "
Emperor William took two of the leading
marine painters , Ilerrcn Boherdt and Saltz-
mann , with him to the opening of the canal
and Indicated to them during his four days'
stay the best moment ? and occasions for
sketches. They will execute a series of
paintings representing tlie most striking
(
views of the"ceremonies , which paintings will
bo presented to the National gallery.
GUARDED BY DETECTIVES.
During the fetes a corps of picked de
tectives of this city surrounded the em
peror night and day. These precautions were
taken on account of the fact that threaten
ing letters from anonymous anarchists and
others reached ME majesty during the pre
vious fortnight. Some of these letters came
from France , and the writers threatened the
emperor with death. A score of more or
less suspicious-looking persons were arrested
1
by the detectives. Among these were two
Frenchmen' and a Russian.
The naval correspondents of the German
and Austrian newspapers have highly comI I
mended the appearance of the United States I
war vessels and crews. They praised the
ease of motion and exactness of their ma
neuvers , according them first place In this I
respect. They style the New York the finest ;
vessel of her kind ever at Kiel. The Amer-
lean warships also aroused moro curiosity
than , all the others , and they were visited
by thousands of people. The officers of the
United States squadron showed wonderful
good nature In welcoming every one and In
trying to talk German. The German visit
ors were considerably puzzled by the fact
that the Marblehcad and others of the Amer J.
ican squadron had negro stewards and ne
groes among the crew.
In this connection the critical comparison
of the various warships at Kiel , made by an
English naval expert now there , Is espe
cially Interesting. Omitting the British |
fleet from comparison , In orJcr to avoid a
semblance of partiality , he expressed the
opinion , after taking careful notice , that In
respect to value and efficiency the various
crews might bo placed In the following
order ;
RANKING OF THE CREWS.
1 , the Germans ; 2 , the French ; 3 , tha Amer
icans ; 1 , the Austrlans ; D , the Russians ; r9 , i
the Italians ; 7 , the Swedes ; 8 , the Dutch ; 9 ,
the Danes ; 10 , the Roumanians ; 11 , the Portuguese
tuguese ; 12 , the Spanish. (1 (
Tno French squadron , ho says , containing
the flower of the French navy , made nn ex
cellent and Impressive show. The men were
neat and smart and the boat's crews excited
geperal admiration. But the ships , especially
the hideous Ironclad Roche , flagship ot the
French squadron , arc unfavorably criticised.
d.p
All of the French vessels carry so much top
hamper that In the event of Che latter being
shot during an action , It would fall and dls-
able the guns beneath , A German officer ,
commenting on the French squadron , said
that both , the French ships and the French
people were a trifle extravagant and exag
gerated.
The Russian ships have the same defect of
too muah top hamper , although In a lesser
degree than the French ships , while the per-
sonnel of the Russian vessels was pro
nounced far Inferior to that of the French.
As to the Italian squadron , the ships were
pronounced to be good and their officers effi
nlie
cient. The boats were well kept and the
men looked clean and well dressed. Yet , It
was added that the Italian ships Inspired no
confidence as fighting machines , the prevail-
nig opinion among the naval men at Kiel
being that they would prefer to be without
the active help of the Italian fleet In times
ot a crisis than with It , as the men , who are
the most Important fighting element , do not
give the expert critics the Impression that
they are likely to possess all Hie coolness
and method necessary for the proper workIng -
Ing of the ship's guns In time of need.
Among Emperor William's special gueits at
Kiel , were Lord Loncdale and Mr. Poultney
Bgel6w. ( The latter went to Kiel In hit

such a conference. The opposing sixteen
members como from the three South German
states and the Hansa towns , ot Hamburg ,
Bremen and Lubeck , while Prussia , Saxony
and ' the middle elates favor tlic ! calling ot a
monetary conference. The only point still
unsettled rs as to what extent Germany , In
calling ' the conference , Is to engage herself
whether she Is to state the purpose as being
the ' ultimate restoration of bimetallism or only
to fix a new ratio between gold and silver.
Tho1 German Military correspondence , a
.semi-official organ , states that Emperor Wll
Ham , basing his opinion upon the large num
ber of tests made In the Bornstcdt maneuvers
held tills spring , has expressed himself to the
effect that the German cavalry will still have
a decisive Influence In the fate of a battle.
Under advantageous circumstances , large
bodies of cavalry broke up large bodies of
Infantry without , In the estimation of the
Judges , sustaining too great a less In so doing ,
During the big autumn maneuvers these cav-
airy tests will be repeated upon a larger scale.
The emperor took a characteristic trip to
Munich , Bavaria , on Monday last , In order to
determine upon the site and tno necessary
arrangements for the building of the new
Schack gallery of pictures , etc. , which he
has presented to that city. Count Adolphe
Frederick von Schack , the millionaire author ,
died on April 1C , 1S94 , and bequeathed his
large picture gallery to Emperor William
with the stipulation that It be added to the
Berlin museum. But the emperor decided
that the gallery should remain at Munich , as
that city was proud ot It and Its removal
would have fostered anti-Imperial tendencies
In the south German states. The pcoplo ot
Munich were eo delighted with the action
of the emperor that they have decided to
place a Etatuo of his majesty In the famous ,
gallery with the wording of the telegram
conveying his determination to the Munich
authorities Inscribed on the pedestal.
VISIT WAS UNEXPECTED.
Ills majesty's visit was quite unexpected
and consequently there was nobody at the
railway station to meet him. Ho Jumped
Into a common hack and while ho was being
driven to the palace of the regent , Prince
Leopold , he was saluted , being in plain uni
form , as a comrade , by the officers of the
garrison ; whom ho passed on his way.
Among the latter was Prince Arnulph ,
Ayc
youngest son of the regent , and lieutenant
ycg
general < of the First division In the Infantry
ot ' the Bavarian army , and the husband of
Princess ; Theresa of Llchtensteln , who would
be supposed to bo well acquainted with his
majesty. But nobody recognized the emperor
and It was moro than an hour later , when
ho ' at length met the prince regent In the
study of some painters , when ho was recog
nized. ' The art world of Munich , however ,
'a ' delighted at this visit , and with the
emperor's keen Judgment and unaffected bon
hommc.
According to the Dantzlc Zcltung , Mr.
Gladstone , during his stay at Hamburg , expressed -
xk
pressed a desire to visit Prince Bismarck ,
but the latter declined. This report , how *
ever , Is probably only a distorted version of
the story cabled exclusively to the Associated
press on Sunday last , that Sir Donald Currle ,
upon whlse steamer , the Tantallon Castle ,
Mr. Gladstone was a guest , visited Frlcd-
dce
rlchsruh with others on Saturday. Prince
Bismarck excused himself from receiving
them , owing to the state of his health , and
Mr. Henry Gladstone left a card on behalf
of his father , who did not accompany hoof
party.
In Ltchtenfcld , a suburb of Berlin , a new
sect has been formed under the leadership of
Princess von Blucher and other highborn
Berlin dames. The new sect Is spiritualistic ,
Ic.nd

pretends to believe In visions and ecstatic
prophecy. The regular clergy demand > thc
suppression of the now set.
The latest decision of the Hclchsgerlcht ,
