PAIIIS , April 0. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to the BBK.J A storm struck
tile French coast April 7 and 8 , delaying the
malls between England and France , causing
treat havoc In the channel and along the
coasts of Brittanla and Normandy , and
wrecking thirty h'shlnc smacks elf the head
land stretching from Brest nmtOstend. In
Paris the weather continues cold and bluster-
Ing. This is the most backward spring we
have had for several years. Blazing tires In
doors and thick overcoats outdoors still reign
supreme.
WATCHING RUSSIA CLOSELY.
Political attention is focused upon Russia.
The vaguest rumors , the slightest whisper
that escapes from the czar's residence at
Gatzchina , Is carefully weighed and Investi
gated by President Urevy at the Klyseo and
by General Boulanger at tlio ministry of war ,
for cversbody feels convinced that whether
wo shall pull through the summer without
war depends solely upon the czar. DeUlers
Is regarded as a sort of angel of piece , while
XathotT , the red hat Pan Slavlst exponent of
liusslan "know nothlnglsm , " Is felt to bo
the angel of war. Upon the struggle now
going on between the two now depends the
fate of Europe. The czar rewards both and
reprimands both with an Impartial. I have
the best authority for saying that the czai's
heart Is with Kutkolf , but bis head Is with
UcGlers.
THE CZAJl NO MADMAN.
The czar , In spite of all the wild sensa
tional stories about his rushing about like a
madman killing aldcs-do-caniR , kicking min
isters and smashing furniture , is really one
of the coolest headed men and one of the
shrewdest statesmen In Europe. It has been
my privilege to bare been near the czar
under very trying circumstances. Men who
are upon Intimate terms with him have
spoken with me freely about their personal
relations with their Imrwrlal roaster. I have
neon enough with my own eyes to feel con
vinced that Alexander III has been greatly
maligned , especially In Vienna and London.
Although forty-two years of age , lie Is one ol
those that mature late In life and bis faults
are those of exuberant youth , lie detests
etiquette and ceremony. Ho bas n
very violent temper. lie never forgives any
body whom ho detects In telling him a lie.
He Is outspoken and brusque In his manner.
If he does not like anyone lis lets the person
know It at once , and has thus created hun
drcdsof bitter personal enemies who i mined'
lately rush oft and say that the zcar Is a rav
ing mrdman. Alexander 111. has a thorougli
knowledge of men. Ho keeps DeGiers anil
Katkoff both well In bis hand , never allow
ing either of them to cot the bits in theli
teeth , although putting spurs o :
relninglnir In either one or thi
other , or both , as occasions requires
The czar got all he wished for in Afghauistai
la spite of the bluster and threats of Eng
land , and ho cot the Battenbcrc out of Bui
garla in spite of the threats of nearly thi
whole of Europe. Ho becomes wise am
more cautious as he gets older. As to his be
Ing brusque and excitablo.I feel sure that thi
average Now Yorker , taken at random fron
the tinlon club or stock exchange , If put It
the czar's place and receiving , as the cia
does , weekly death sentences from nihilist
committees , and liable as ho is every tlm
bo sits down to breakfast , to be served with :
nihilist bomb with his coffee , would be fa
more brusque than the czar Is.
IN CASE OK WAR.
1 am assured from trustworthy source li
St. Petersburg that the czar , although mak
Ing every possible preparation for a su'ddoi
campaign against Austria , does not hlmsel
think that war will take place this year , an
a Hussion occupation of Bulgaria will enl
take place in case Bule&rla and Koumclia n
call Prince Alexander or proclaim a republic
and , moreover , such an occupation would b
n sure sign of peace , for the czar will unde
no circumstance send a single llussla
soldier into Bulgaria unless bo has th
formal assurance ot Austria's assent to sue
an occupation and Austria's explicit promts
to remain neutral. Should Austria rofus
this assent , or should Austria reruai
silent , then General Gourko , who to-da
conirurnds the largest cavalry force eve
brought together In Europe , has orders t
warm across the frontier Into Gallcla an
thus paralyze the entire mobilization scliem
ot Austria and force her to make ber fin
serious defense behind the Carpathian'

men that there are no fortltie tloin at Leu

preachers in ' 'arls. preached n sermon that
created a veritable sensation among the bev

procession into the church and viewed the
crucified figure of the Saviour In brouce and

festooned with enormous strings of sausage ,
swaying backward and forward in the wind.

THE MOST UNPOPULAR MAN.
The rrost unpopular man In France to-day
Is neither Bismarck nor Moltke , but the duke
ot Edinburgh. Tlio "incident de Cannes" is
freely discussed In all the clubs , on the boule
vards and In the cafes by all classes of
society , from tlio Fauburg Saint Germain
down to th * heterogeneous masses at the
"Folro Jamesons. " Tim unanimous verdict
Is that the duke of Edinburgh was guilty of
an act of gross rudeness In not returning the
salute of the French vessels , for ho know
very well his vessels went to Cannes with a
social object and consequently should have
boon received with proper saluting batteries.
Ills excuse that his ironclads had no guns to
salute with Is , judge Paraslans , as merely
adding intuit to Injury.
PERSONAL , MENTION.
Mr. J. Plerrcpont Morgan , senior partner
of the banking firm of Drexel , Morgan &
Co. , has arrived In Paris from New York ,
and with Miss Morgan is stopping at the
Hotel Bristol. Mr. Morgan leaves shortly
for Monte Carlo on a visit to bis father , Mr.
Junlus S. Morgan , the London banker.
Mrs. Ronalds , jr. , has been staying a few
days with Mrs. Mackay and returned this
morning to London. Mrs. Konalds has
been suffering from sere throat during her
visit to Paris but this did not prevent her
from trying on many charming dresses and
visiting half a dozen of the most fashionable
churches during holy week.

LONDON , April 9. [ New York Herald

and provincial press continues to bo largely
occupied with American legislative action

It accompanies it witb the following short

"The American press denounces the policj

o doubtedly on the eve of a wonderful politlca

MUSICAL AND POLITICAL.
The Gossip In Horlin Over Interest-
Inc SnbjoctH.
[ CopyrfnM IBS' tiy James Gordon Ucnnctt. ' ]
BERLIN , April U-.fNow York Herald
Cable Special to the BEE. ] Germans are
enjoying the usual Easter half holiday , but
so profound Is now the tranqulllty In all
matters affecting German Interesls that this
holiday began two weeks ago and may last
two weeks to come. The Easter decorations
for the time being occupy public attention to
the exclusion of politics. Goods in the store
windows are arranged In every conceivable
form. The easier cg s in the florists' windows
dews are e gs of violets , roses or mignonette ,
with perhaps a butterfly orchid perched at
the small end. In the green grocers the
same forms are reproduced with radishes ,
asparagus or carrots. Even the butchers'
shops have azaleas standing between the
rumps of beef and legs of mutton.
CONCERNING MUSICAL MATTERS.
To-morrow music will begin again , both
in thoclinrchesand In the concert gardens ,
which , during the past week , have been
almost silent out of respect to the season.
To-morrow and on Monday afternoon there
will bo great band concerts in the open air at
the zoological garden , to which all Berlin
will flock , If the warm spring weather con
tinues'to drink In their beer and music at
the same time. This evening five thealres
presented plays and operas oilher entirely
now or revived after lonf silence. The pro
ductions of "Tho Mikady. " which had such
a successful run fast year , was
awaited with great curiosity. It was
thought the complete failure of Sullivan's
"Goldon Lesend" might affect the popularity
of opera , sandwiching in such , an old favor
ite as "Tho Mlkodo" for ten nights between
the first production ot "Patience , " and the
critical wrath aroused by the "Goldon
Legend" Is considered to bo both a wise and
move of D'Oyloy Carlo. The second ren-
dlllon of the "Golden Legend , " by the way ,
was received by the critics either with abso
lute silence or with merely a word of praise
for Mma Albanl's admlrabloslnglng. After
a day or two of silence Die Post , as
a final fling at Sullivan's mangled remains ,
said : "Through the co-operation of such a
distinguished artiste assume AlbnnI , the
second production of the "Golden Legend' ,
was better than the first , but the lack of croa-
live fancy and arllstic earnestness , and the
want of originality , made the second ropro-
sentatlon oven less striking than the Ural.
Indeed , parts which at the first redition had
a certain charm , at the second performance
showed themselves lo bo only shallow music
without Inner harmony , in Germany tlio
'Golden Legend' can scarcely have a long
life , because we are accustomed to find In
works ot a religious character true earnest
ness and purity of tone , pronounced with
orlgnallty , all of which fail in a largo meas

| TUE DALE OLD EMl-EROR.
This week's lovely weather has set peoph
thinking of the various baths and watering
places. On Thursday crown prince's familj
go to Ems' where they are expected to slaj
1 several weeks. The emperor's physician ;
are showing some anxiely to got their aged
but now strong and well patient away froir
Berlin routine work to the complete quiet o
summer life. The emperor recovered won
derfully from the strain of his birthday cele
bration , but nevertheless his people , as wel
. as his physicians , would be glad to see thci :
young-old emperor leave the city. Ai

but he drives or walks occasionally into the
country near Berlin. On Tuesday ho lefl
his carriage outside Berlin and walked to

ho slopped sometime lo walch the dlstribi :
tlon by a peasant mother of a loaf of breai
among her family ot hungry children. Thel
pranks kept him Interested until some pas
i ,

ser-by recognized the visitor. Then a crowi
of people , whom ho good nat'jrcdly ' greeted
drove him back to his carriage and Berlin.
EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL POLITIES.
Although Berlin Is politically dull ju <
now , I have found ono great political autliot
ity willing to acknowledge that Gorman ]
still has external and internal politics ovei
though It Is the day before Easter. Talkln
ot M. Catkoff , the gentlemen said to mo
"Uo Glers has undoubtedly resigned , but thi
czar will not allow him to leave ofilco. D '
Glers will receive some signal mark c
Imperial favor. I have been expectln
all the week to hear an official coniirmatlo
ot the rumor that UeGlers had been mad
chancellor of Uussla. buch a promotio
would enable him to endure without loss c
dignity the unrebuked abuse of Katkoll
You are a little puzzled by Katkoff. Yo
don't remember , then , that KatkofT obtalne <
great ascendency over tne czar before his at
ceaslon. Katkoff Is the czar's trustc
personal friend. Moreover , as leader of th
powerful old Itnsslan party whose Ideas ar
to Home extent the emperor's own , there ai
political tics between the two which the czi
is un wllllnz to break by any severe reproc
to him. Katkotf would like to see IngatU
secretary of the state. Perhaps this uilgl
happen If both KatkotT and Ingatlef were ni
su well recognize here as the turbulent , wa
like elements of Russia. Such an appoln
mcnt would be so openly and plainly a litre
c- of war to Germany , tbat It U not at all like ;
in to occur ( or tome iluie tb come. Katkoff ai
DrUlors will play at happy family for
months.
NO SIC1N OF WAR.
"So rumors of our new Imperial cause
anxiety , do they'.1 VPS , I suppose It is a fact
that the new loan will be about 550,000,000.
Of this nearly one-half pees for new fortifica
tions and new troop ? , the right for the do
ficlency of the past year , and for new internal
improvement ? , such as railways , etc. But all
Ihls Is no sign of war. On Iho contrary , If
It means nnj tiling It Is only that by readi
ness for war wo presume peace. There
has been ono continuous negotiation dur
ing tlio last few day which the newspaper
men failed to hear of. The persistent re
fusal of Alsace-Lorraine to accept German
advances so exasplratcd the higher circles of
Berlin thai afler Iho late elections a plan was
at once formulated to divide Alsace-Lor
raine among the nearest German stores ,
Prussia and Baden taking the major part.
This plan wont so far as to bo submitted for
thi ) kaiser's approval , but was at once nega
tived by 111 in. Tt.cn came the proposal to
govern them entirely from Berlin , but this
also failed to.be approved by the kaiser. Ho
Insisted that the government of Iho reichslag
shall remain practically as at present. "
KATKOFF WILL DEFEAT DEGUMIS.
Another gentleman , who of necessity fol
lowed closely tlm political situation , said lo
mo about Katkoll : "As the personal friend
of the ciar , and a man of powerful mind ,
whose Ideas to a certain extent agree with
those ot the czar , Katkoll Is In Iho end certain
to drive De Glers out of otlico. This may
not occur for some months. Even then it is
hardly likely that Katkolf will bo able lo put
ono ot his men in as secretary of state. It
wilt take another struggle of some
months to accomplish this. The truth Is ,
Katkoff at the helm means war. Itussla
Is not ready for war , so Kutnoll must wait.
The German piess abuse of Katkoll means
that It was necessary to show the czar plainly
that ho must choose between Katkotf and
peace. "
"How long will It be before Kalkolf will
control the action of the liussiau stale de
partment ? "
"Well , say six months , at least , perhaps
more , for It is a mailer of whicli no man can
speak with certainty. "
The general effect ot all these conversa
tions is precisely as I cabled a month ago
that until fall war is impossible , and that the
best trained observers expect unbroken peace
during 1887 , all , however , with due respect
for the unexpected.
ANOTHER AFBICAN COLONY.
On Wednesday evening I had an InterestIng -
Ing talk with Dr. Carlo .Peters , who set off
next day for Zanzibar with a party of twenty
men to start new stations along the recently
annexed Afilcan river coast bank of the
sea coast , ruled over by the sultan
of Zanzibar. Families are to be
take n out later lo settle In the higher planta
tion district. Tobacco , cotton and tropical
products are to be raised with native labor.
Two small steamships already ply on the
rivers and the twelve stations give promise
of being self supporting. Altogether there Is
quite sufficient activity and success to cause
England just alarm.

An Anti-English Sentiment Stirred
Up In France.
JS.S7 by Jcimcs Gordon n < micf.1 (
PARIS , ( via Havre ) , Annl 9. [ New YorK
Herald Cable-bpeclal to the BEE.J The
threatened bombardment ot Haytl , coming
as docs on top of the Connes Incident , which
was felt throughout France to be a gratutlous
Insult on the part ot the Duke of Edinburgh
lo tlio French nation , causing a strong anti-
English Indignation. To-night Saturday
Franco'says In a lending article headed
"Bombardment En Perspective : " "Tho
British claim against Haytl is a mure pretext
by which Eneland hopes to get possession of
the Isle de la Torruo and thus create n new
Glberalter to commend and entrance to the
Panama canal whenever complete. Ills Im
possible for Franco to remain an Impassive
spectator to such an event for it's against
Franco entrance to the Panama canal that
England now directs her fort' . Wo
cannot forget that Uaytl was once French
territory , and the day may come when wo
will wish the Isle Itself under our protection.
It Is now a long time since England bom
barded anything. The Duke of Edlngburg ,
who pretends to have no small guns on
board his fleet to return salutes , or who when
tlio time comes for gentlemanly inslincls and
International politeness goes sound asleep
that all salvoes from the French fleet do not
awake him , should claim the honor of directIng -
Ing the bombardment at Ilaytian ports. In
any case A French cruiser will soon arrive in
Uaytlan waters to protect French interesls ,
and let us hope international crimes like the
bombardment ot Copenhagen and Alex-
adria will not bo repeated , or at least the
United States will not tolerate now shame
ful of putting into practice the fable ot the
wolf and the lamb. " France is a stal wart re
publican paper and the above loader exactly
expresses the views of tlio French govern
ment and an overwhelming majority of the
French .people on the question of threatened
bombardments.
HUMORS BELIEVED UNTRUE.
SANTIAGO DE CUUA , April 0. News has
been received from Haytl to the effect that
an amicable settlement of the British claims
may bo expected. The Ilaytian assembly
.has had two special sittings ono public and
ono private to consider Ihe demand made
by Hill , British special agent , now In Haytl.
Ho wishes to have the principle admitted ,
President Salomon declined taking action
on the expression of opinion from the assem
bly To admit the principle is to admit-the
English-claim 81,000,000. . The Island ol
Toitugas was offered to England two years
azo In settlement of this claim.
The French frigate Mlncrvo arrived here
the day before yesterday for orders. She
was ordered to proceed to Haytl , It has
been stated that the orders said that trouble
was Imminent. The vessel proceeded to
Port-au-Prince. The highly alarming ru
mors that have recently come fiom Haytl
seem to bo baseless , as the United State ?
steamer Yantie loft there three days ago fet
this port and the Havtlan man-of-war Dos
salines , Captian Cooper , is also here ,
i Cooper stated positively that rumors of ti
revolutionary uprising there and anothei
massacre ot Malattes were absolutely ground
less.
TO FURNISH PROTECTION.
WASHINGTON , April U. Although no of
ficial announcement has been received at Hit
department of state of Iho report that Greal
Britain has threatened to seize Tortugac
Island , yet It is learned lliat Iho Americar
consul at ilayti has kept the department
fully informed as to the nature ot the British
claim and all proceedings taken by that KOV
eminent against Ilayti during the past three
or four years. Now that the matter is re
ported lohavo assumed so serious a phase
the government , with a view to being pre
pared for any emergency , Is beginning t <
canvass its resources in case It should become
come necessary to again assert the intention
of this country to maintain the Monroi
doctrine to the extent of protecting tlicsi
small republics of the American contlnen
against the encroachments of Europear
powers. The result of the Inquiries into the
naval resources of the United States is no
encouraging so far. Several wooden vessels
forming the training squadron , am now 01
their way northward from the West Indies
and at present there Is no vessel bearing tin
American flag in Uaytlan water. Tin
Yantie Is at Key West and the Galena a
Asplnwall , and It Is possible that one or botl
of these vessels may be ordered to the vlcin
ity In event that it may become necessary ti
itr enter a formal protest against European en
r , croachment in tne West Indies.

THE UUSSIAN TIIEATY.
Opinion of a Nihilist on the Compact
Lately Sinned.
NEW YORK , April 0. ISpcclal Telegram
to the BIK. : ] The World says that the pio-
posed extradition treaty with Uussla , which
It recently published , has received the signa
tures of T. F. Bayard , secretary of stale , and
Charles Destruve , Kusslan minister at Wash
ington , and has been forwarded to St.
Pelersburg for Ihe approval of the war. In
a talk with the World reporter , Leo Harl-
man , the famous Kusslan nihilist , says : Tlio
trealy is a direct violation , it seems lo me ,
of the letter and spirit of your constitution.
Under this trealy a man can bo arresled by
the Kussmn police as easily in the United
Stales as in Hussia. All safeguards for Iho
protection of the liberties of the people are
thrown down. I do not believe that the
American people arc In sympathy with such
a treaty. The stale deparlment cannot rep
resent the popular will of this country.
Since the publication of the treaty In the
World an association has been formed hero
called the Itusslan-Aiiierlcan National league.
1 have been elected president. In two weeks
we will have a membership of 2,000 and be
fore the end ot the year it will be inci eased to
10,000. Tlm object ot the association is to
protect the Interests of Itussinns coming to
this county and to help our friends at homo
in Iheir struggle for fteedom. We atlmlt alt
nationalities of Russians. Kussla'fi emanci
pation from the yoke of tyranny is not tar
distant. The movement is steadily progress
ing until now It lias penetrated even to the
czar a own household. Ihe ratification of tills
new treaty on the part of the American gov
ernment will not bo such a serious blow to the
growth ol . . nihilism in llussla as might bo
supposed. Nothing can stop the spread of
nihilism In itussla. The leaders of the nihil
ist party In llussla are not anxious to have
an asylum open for them to retreat In Amer
ica. They are bravo men and understand
that their lives may be sacrificed any day.
They do not care for that. They do not wish
to retreat but will push ahead If only to cer
tain death for the cause of "Liberty. " Every
lever of liberty should protest against the
ratification by the senate of Mr. Bayard's
infamous treaty.

An effort was made to interview Senator Ii i
Sherman on the published statement that
Blalno and friends had arranged his trip to
Europe to keep him from speech making , that
It was politically significant , etc.
"You are as competent , " said Sherman to
the reporter , "lo ludgo tun value of such re
ports as I am. Besides , it would be mani ' k
festly Improper for mo to take any part In [
these discussions. "
!
The reporter endeavored to draw from the
senatorsomeoxpiesslon of opinion on Iho
present political outlook , or some speculation
In regard to the probabilities of the presi
dential campaign , but the senator would not
say a word , either about the relative chances
of Iho rival candidates for Ihe nomination or
about the relative election prospects of the
two parties. "Nobody , " said he , "can see at
this distance what may happen next year ,
and any discussion of these subjects now
would bo manifestly Improper , " manifestly
meaning of course that It was well known
that ho vas a candidate himself.
Kepiesentatlvo llulman of Indiana , speak
ing about tlit ! report that Blalno's trip means
a trade and that the Plumed Knight Is to bo
premier of HIP next republican president's
cabinet , etc. , says : "To bo secretaryof state
to some other president rather than be presi
dent himself Is not the wisn of James U.
Blalno , and the remarks of that bumble and
confiding soul are never made by a'man like
Blalne. He is too ambitious ever to have
uttered It. Blaln's ambition Is unbounded.
Ho has unlimited confidence in himself and
means to be preslhent. It Is well known
that Blalne is friendly to Senator Allison
ana if he should find himself unable to com
mand the nomination ho might posslly , do
what ho could to give it to his friend from
Iowa. But that will not happen until tlm
last chance of the man from Maine Is ex
hausted. There Is going to bo a remarkably
hot contest , for the republican nomination
campaign is alieady opened. Sherman is a
man of hardly loss abllltv , self-conlicleneo
and ambition than Blalno himself. Ho , too ,
is a man ot magnetism , and lie Is without
Blalno's disadvantage of I armor dcfeal. Ills
lighting power Is immense. He bears a
lighting name ana between Sherman and
Blalno it will bo a hard light. They am the
Iwo strongest men the parly can procure , "
