LONDON , March 5. Blowitz , the Times cor
respondent at I'-mi , in n letter ntUsks .Bis-
marok for indiscretion In hs ! dealings with the
British foreign ollico concerning the South
Pacific islands. In the biuo book on this nub-
jcct , Issued by the British government on
1'ebruary 25 , there is given a conversation
early In February between Bismarck and
Malet , the liritieh ninbiasador at Berlin. The
German chancellor than road & dispatch
which ho said ho had sent to Count Muustcr ,
the German ambassador at London , on the
Cth of the preceding May , which purported
to convey to Bngland Bismarck's idea how
Great Britain could assist Germany in her
colonization schemes , and hia promlso to ro-
clprocato by helping English interoita nearer
homo.
The dispatch urged Kngland to fall in with
the suggestions made , bocauie In the event of
n refusal Germany would bo compelled to ask
1'rench aid. The chancellor told Malet that ,
ns Count Munster scemod to make no prog
ress , it was feared in Berlin that ho had not
fltatud the points in the dispatch with sufli-
cient strength , to the Count Herbert Bis
marck \vos sent to London to assure the suc
cess of the negotiations. Herbert obtained
from the British foreign oflico nothing but
general assurances of friendship. These were
valueless , Bismarck said , when RIalct ex
pressed regret at the situation. Ho assured
Bismarck that Kngland had no desire to
thwart Germany's colonial ambitipno.aml asked
him what ho wanted , Now Guinea or Xulu-
land , The chancellor replied that it was now
too late to discuss the matter with England ,
became Germany already had an understand
ing with Franco.

HOOD
in in those statements. ( lo refers to the fact
that Bismarck toad the original dispatch to
Malot tv3 a proof it was never teat to London.
Bismarck , Btonotz says , proceeded as if thin
dispatch had been tout to London to form'the
basis of an alliancu between JCnghind and Ger
many concerning colonial annexations : as if its
rejection by 1'nglatd had been formally and
deliberately made ; as if this rejection were
the endorsement by England , or German-
French alliance , and gave Germa
ny certain liberty in the south
Pacific , and then when asked for explanations
about his encroachments on British poanea-
felons , produced as his warrant the original
despatch. Tim production , Blowitz avers ,
was made nine month ) after the date of the
deopatcb , and just when it suited Bismsrck'a
purpose. The Introduction of this system ,
fiays Blowitz , must create a panic in the po
litical world , . With such suppressed
despatches the strong power can do as it likes ,
.and turn might into right anytim9so abolish-
'ng international law. To prove the assertion
that the despatch read to Malet
was never cent to London , Blow
itz points to the fact that Granville ,
the British foreign minister , February 7 , im
mediately after Sir J'Mwnrd Malet had com
municated to him the Bismarck Invitation ,
wrote to Sir Edward : The dispatch in ques
tion was nover.conimunlcated to me.
Dr. Blowitz contends that it was impossible
fur the dispatch to have miscarried or been
forgotten , because Count Munster would
ha\o resigned if ho know that Lord Granville
had BOOH the ells paten before making such a
statement , whi o if Count Munster had rually
received the despitch and failed to transmit
it 10 the British foreign minister , Bismarck
would have recalled Minister for neglect of
dity. The fact tbdt Herbert Bismarck , who ,
the German chauca'lor alleges , was Bent to
London to second Munster in his efforts tote
to secure colonial adxico with England ,
failed to discover the very despatch which
contained tin terms of his mission had never
reached Granville , Dr. Blowitz pronounces
very strange. Ho declare * the truth is that
Bismarck did not believe England would give
Germany the assistance desired , lie know
bettor how to succeed with Franco , behind
the mission of hia son. Bismarck intended
to havu the mlfslng dispatch uppoar at the
proper time to put England in the wrong.
Ho proposed amuser-le-tapis to confront
England with an accomplished fact.

HOUR CANADIAN VOLCNTEKIIS KOB SOUDAN.
MOKTIIKAL , March C. There soims no
doubt if the Imperial authorities accept the
Canadian contingent _ for service in Soudan a
force can cosily bo raised in Montreal of from
two to three thousand , B portion of whom
will havn already seen service , both in the
regular and Canadian volunteer forces. Lick of
competent officers can bo obviated by calling
out the cadets who have graduated from the
Kingston military college , and are now resi
dents of this city. Those may 1)3 supple *
monted by officers from embodied militia at
prcient serving in the Quebec and St , Johns
schnols.
The action of the Australian merchants in
raising funds for their contingent has caused a
feeling of emulation hero , and loading busl
ness men are disposed , should the government
equip n couple of good regiments , to supple
meat any grant by raising a fund to provide
for the families cf tbo volunteers , and also for
any of these whom the chances may disable.

KI.KA.
LONDON , March ! . [ Via Mackay.Bpnnott
Cable to the Tribuno. ] Mr.Burloigb , thewar
correspondent who was wounded at Abu-
Klea , lias , under tha in.ipir.ition of hit hint ,
written to the Daily Telegraph a thrilling ac-
countof the bittle , and in itoesur.s this des
cription of Col , liurnaby'.s death , which must
become historical :
"Still down upon us the dark Arab wave
rolled. It had arrived with three hundred
yards , undlminlsned in volume , unbroken in
strength a rmh of spjarmneu and swords
men. Their rifle fire had ceased. Other
Arab forces surrounding us The Mahdi's
troops plundered , plundering Bedouin ? , and
plliaglng villiagers from the riverside stood
eager on the hillside watching the charge up
on the British square. In wild excitement ,
their whlta teeth glistening and the sheen of
their brandished weapons flashing
like thousands of mirrors , on
ward they camecharging straight
into our ranks. I was at that instant inside
the square and not far from tha Gardiner
gun , whan I sw the left Hank move ome-
what backward. Col. Burnaby himself ,
whoso every action at the time I baw , from a
distance of about thirty yards , rode out in
front of tha rear left face , apparently to assist
two or th'ee ekirmishcro running in haid
pressed. All but one man of them succeeded
In reaching our lines. Col. Bnrnaby went
forward to his assistance , sword in hand. As
the dauntless colonel rode forward lie put
himself in tbo way of a Sheik charging
down on horseback , Eru the Arab closed
with him bullet frum eomo ono in our ranks
brought the Sheik he.idloag to the ground ,
nuiis'AUv'a FIGHT ran LIKE.
"Tho enemy'a spearsmon v/ero close behind ,
and ono of them suddenly dashed at Col ,
Burnaby , pointing the long blade of his spear
at his throat. Checking hia horse and pulling
it backward , Burnaby leapt forward in his
saddle and parried the Moslem's rapid and fe
rocious thrusts , but the length of the man's
weapon ei ht feet put it out of his power to
return with interest the Arab's murderous In
tent. Once or twice Col. Burnaby just
touched his man , only to make him more
wary and eager. The affray waa the
work of seconds only , for the savage horde of
swarthy negroes from Kordofan and straight-
haired , tawnv-comple.Moned Arabs of the
Bayuda Steppe were fast closing In upon our
square. Col. Burnaby fenced the swarthy
Arab as if he were playing in an asamlt at
arms , and there was a smile on his features as
ho drove off the man's awkward points , Tbe
scene was taken in at A glance. With that
lightning initinct which I have seen desert
warriora before new display in battla while
coming to one another's aid , an Arab , who
was pursuing a soldier and had passed
five paces to Burnaby's right and
rear , turned with a Eudden spring , and this
second Arab run his spear point into the
Colonel's right shoulder. It waa but a slight
wound. Enough though to cause Barnaby to
twist around In his saddle and defend Himself
from this unexpected attack , Before the
savage could repeat his unlocked for blow , to
near tha ranks of the square was the ccene
now being enacted , a soldier ran out and
drove his sword-bayonet through the second
assailant. Brief as was Barnaby' * glanci
backward at this fatal episode , i
\y s long enough to enable thi
first Arab to deliver his spear-poin
full in the brave officer's throat , The blov
drove Buinably out of his saddle , but it re
quired a second one before lie would let go o !
his grin of the. reins and tumbled upon tin
ground _ Half a dozen Arabs were now abou' t
him. With blood gushing in streams from hi td ti
gashed thioat tha dauntless guardsman leapei d
to his feet , sword in hand , and slashed at tbe
ferocious group , They were the wild strokes
of a proud brave man dying hard , and he
ws quickly omborne and left helpUij and
dying. "

Corrections Oonccrnlnc the Health of
General Grant.
NEW YOIIK , March 6. The Medical Record
heretofore quoted in these dispatches , in con
nection with accounts of tha condition of Gen ,
Grant , will on Saturday contains the follow
ing : "In view of the recent developments in
Geu. Grant's condition , the Record's bulletin ,
two weeks ago so largely quoted by the press
of the country , requires some explanation. It
is fair to state tha facts at tha time presented
by the Medical Record were founded on the
best authority , that of Dr. Fordyce Barker ,
the attending physician cf Gen. Grant , and
this explanation is manifest in the following
note. " The note referred to contains n tech
nical description < > E Gen. Grant's symptoms
as observed by tha writer ( Dr. Barker ) , and
asserts that the statement then made waa not
exaggerated. _ The letter explains that nt that
time the ation of congress hud a most de
pressing effect on Gen. Grant , hia vital powers
suddenly broke down , nnd the local malady
speedily nssurr.lDg a new aspect. The news
paper accounts were much exaggerated , and
the doctors had never anticipated any such
speedy termination as they indi
cated. Tha word "cancer'1 was not
used in. connection with tbe case ,
but "Epitholioma" of a magnificent type.
The Medical Record's article after referring
ogam to the exaggerated accounts of Grant's
condition , published in the newspapers , de
fines the nature of the disease , which it ni-
( erts.ia seiious andunfrequcnt. It had not ,
however , become deeply rooted in this case
under considerationthe tongue , epiglottis and
nil othot parts of the throat bsing in n normal
condition. The only tooth that Genernl
Grant had removed was on the sound side of
the mouth to relieve a persistent acha in the
loft ear.

Special telegram to The Bee.
CHICAGO , March 0. Sensational develop
ments are expected when the last expedient t
fur keeping Joe Maskin and tha rest of the
ballot box stullars nut ot the penitentiary
fail , It not bijforo that time. It is n matter
of common notoriety in the newtpaperj and
political circles thai a very prominent dumo
cratic politician , a millionaire with lofty po
litical aspirations , was concerned in the fraud ;
that the fact is known to several persons and
that it on'y ' requires a confession from ono
of them to put him in danger of accompany
ing Mack in and the rest of the gang. Ho
is constantly harassed by fears of this result.
Ho wa ? nearly scared out of his life when the
federal grand jury brought in the verdict of
guilty against Mnckln , Gallagher ct nl. , and
has since boon thinking heavily , though luu-
nlly a very temperate man. The defiant ut
titudo of tlio defendant ! la now known to
have been duo to the fact of their hold on him
and the belief that he would bo able to keep
them out of the penitentiary. They have
been bleeding him from the outset and are
prepared to continue the process as long ta
necessary , even if it runs until the etatuta of
limitations bears the prosecution. It has al
ready cost him around sum and It is thought
that ho will not get out short of $100,00 trib
ute. The prosecuting officers believe that
when the time arrives for tha convicts to go
to prwon , 0119 of them will save himself by
turning states evidence. When that time
cornea there will be a considerable shaking up

'For some time past the Union Pacific

"Tho U.P. poopio became alarmed and

Valentino and an assistant , whoso name

t Vocatcllo. Valentino had a goad many

VAN WYOK ,
Seine Moro Compliments to Nc
l > r nln'8 Senior Senator.
Vnn Wyck ,
Denver Tribune-He-publican ,
Senator Vnn Wyck , of Nobraikc , ha :
made himself famous by forcing the san-
n'otoavolo on the Texas Patifio for-
feitnrn bill , Thu friends of monopoly in
that body did all In their power to de
feat the measure by dodging its consid
eration , but when it came lo a vote they
did not dare go on record rgilnst it.
Old Bowou , of Colorado , and Blnir , of
Now Hampshire , voted openly that way ,
and iho press of the whole country is
aniRzod at their hardihood. In thus
bringing this bill to Us passage , Van
Wyck and his aasrolataa have won a
signal victory over Gould and liuntlcg-
ton. It is gratifying to Colorado t ?
know that from the first Senator II111
has warmly and ably seconded the No-
biaika sanator. For it the latter lost his
sen * . Van AVyck hhniolf will bo de
feated if money and monopoly cin do
it. Bnt it is far preferable to the true
statcs-uau to have the esteem of his conn *
try and go out cf the sen-vie , thtu to re
main In It at the price of baliy regarded
ai the tool of corporations.
The bill rjstoroj to the people 15,000-
000 acres of hnd. This is 3,000,000
acres more than the Union Pacific grmt
and is about as largo ni the statss of New
Jersey , Connecticut , Dalawaro and
Rhode Is'nnd ' u'l ' put together. It will
make 93,750 farms of 100 ncroi ench.
The bill was slightly amended In the senate -
ate , but will doubtless go through the
house again and btcomo a law. Some
vital amendments in the sanato in the in
terest of the monopolists were only do-
featad by 2 majority.
The grant was intended to build the
road through Now Mexico and Arizona.
The Texas Pacific was built through
Tcxai by a state g'ant. Ten ycais vas
the limit. The road MAS finished to the
Texas line at El P.-uo , whore it was to
bgin , to earn the grant , bnt therj it
stoppad. The ton j em wnj already out.
Gould now controlled tha read. It was
not only too Into to cam the grant , but
Huntington hid not only built his
Sontheni Pacific across Arizona , and
Now MsxfcD , without any grant or sub
sidy , and boested that ho needed none ,
and that Gould should not have an extension -
tension , in which to forestall him. Tbii
wai very true , and very creditable. But
Huntlngtqn anJ Gould , feeling that they
owned congress , laid their heads together
to steal this lapped grant. The Texas
Pacific transferred it to the Southern Pa
cific , and stipulated not to build beyond
El Paso. It ii the consummation ot this
steal that the fight lead by Senator IVan
Wyck has just defeated. Few events in
our recent congressional history have
moro significance. It indicates that
money cannot , when it is wholly in the
wrong , entirely control the government.
By Far tlio Moil Successful Senator.
PJaltsmouth Journal.
Mr. Van Wyck is by far the most suc
cessful senator of the picicnt congress.
tie gets more of his favorite moiaures
through than any other man , and does it
by reason of his Independence and
through devotion to duty and the public
interests.
Quite Easy.
Plattsmouth Journal ,
The Plattsmouth Daily Journal says : "Sen
ator Vnn Wyck will accept thanks for public
documents. " Now will tbo Journal bring in
a bill of particulars ni to what the senator
would decline ? Omaha Republican.
Well yes ; that is quite easy. Judging
by his record ho would decline to unite
with his party or any other party to
> erpctrato any robbery of the people ; as
10 did the other day by opposing Mr.
? rye and his parly'a schema to subaldix.j
John Itoach's Pacific mall steamship line ,
even if the red-haired editor of the R-
icbllcan wore to urge him to it. In gen-
jral he declines to join the Blaine shool.
Give us something hard.
Xovcr LOSOB an Opportunity.
St. Louis Republican ,
Mr. Van Wyck , of Nebraska , never
loses an opportunity in the senate to
' i t the railroads. The moit of his ra-
publican brethren in that body , though ,
stand in with the companies , as their
votes on the Tesua Pacific forfeiture bill
will show.
Vim AVyck's Victory.
New York Times.
Tha surprise of the forfeiture bill's
enemies at tbo pasjago of the measure is
almost equal to their disgust. They
never intended to allorr the bill ta reach
a vote on its passage at this session ol
oougroes , but they were defeated by the
good management of Mr. Van Wyck , ts
the loader of their opponents. Friends
of the measure are jubilant over their
success. Tlio bill was twine placed at
the head of the Iht of special orders by
its advocates , nnd twice barlod in the
calendar by its enom.et , and to have car
ried it through under thcss circumstances
its friends considered a big victory. The
amendments made thobysenate aronnim
portant details , and it is believed that
boy vrlll be accepted by the homo of
representatives.
