THE PEA.OE OF EUROPE-
| ' Spedal Dltpatch to Tui USE ,
\ NEW YORK , April 17. A cable to
i. The World from London aays : "The
, message of Enperor William to the
Reichstag , calling for legislation In
the interest of the working class ,
causes aa much uneasiness hero In offi
clal circles as at Berlin , for the reason
that it la believed it was inspired by
. the distrust existing againat the gov
ernment of France , and to cover the
military programme which will pretty
cer'alnly ' be carried out npon the firat
/ symptom of serious political disturb-
i ance In France. I have It on the
best authority that , under orders from
'v ' Berlin a fortnight ago , six divisions of
' the German Imperial cavalry and four
of the army corps have been got Into
readiness to cross the French fron-
1 tier in three days's time. Some of
the socialist leaden of Germany ap
pear inclined to begin work nearer
I home by provoking overt disturbances
among the German working classes ,
1 bat as any such attempts would be
disastrous to the people , It Is not
likely to ba made ? The real danger
of Europe this moment Is at Paris ,
where men in authority seem to bo
entirely taciptblo of understanding
the danger to which they are expos
ing not only the peaca of the continent
but the very existence of their own
country.

Eleven loft &
charges < n <
Supervising Architect Hill by ex\Rjp-
resentative Mnrch have been referred
to a special committee. Those
charges allege general mismanagement
on the part of Hill in connection with
the poatoffioo of Philadelphia and the
custom honso of Oaloago ; also that
Hill corrupted the administration < f
his office agilnst the interests of the
United States , and that contractors
known to be guilty of fraud are
specially favored by the supervising
architect. Another specification Is
that employes In the office have used
government time and material in the
designs and construction of private
dwellings. Among the witnesses
named are Secretary Folgcr , Senator

Ei-Postmastor General James was

April 9 , although Dorsey had sworn
. he was in Washington.

ville waa the next called and was ex
amlnod wlh regard to the so called
"Belford Check. " In iho argument
aa to the admlailblllty of thla testi
mony , Bliss said the books showed a
cheek draft to "J. B B " Ho would
not say who "J. B. B. " represented ,
bat would admit that he did not now
believe It meant Belford. Wltnets
said in June , 1870 he saw Djr'sey
draw a check or draft in Leadvlllo to
order of "J. B. B , " ; did not remem
ber its exact amount , but thought it
. was for about $2 000 ; It was to bo
divided among fonr gentlemen ;
n Judge Bowen , afterwards Senator
0 Bowen , waa one of the party.
„ In reply to Ingorsoll witness said
fthis ( witness1) ) Initials were placed on
the check , and Dorsoy suggested that
k. Charles W. Tankersloy , one of the
_ party , collect It ; did dot know on who !
j bink the check was drawn. It had
