Although De UouleUe , the noisy , storm ; petrel of the Kaguo patriots , 1ms ictlred be cause nobody paid any attention to his wild ravings , the political horizon lias again be come darkened by warlike incidents on the frontier. ' 1 ho ambush laid tor the French commissary of police , M. Schnaobelo , his being placed In handcutrs and carried to Met. ! by the German authorities , Is felt hereto to bo a now warlike provocation on the pa it of Geimany. But the feeling throughout France is that It is beneath the dignity of Franco to take scilous notice of It. WHAT mi : riinss SAYS. The Kepubliquo Fraucalso says : "Wo shall pay no attention to the incident unlens the Ueiman government assumes the respon ' ' sibility. " ' ' 4 The Figaro says : "In worrying the relch- stag into voting 200,000,000 francs for the mil itary budget , 40,000,000 fianks of which are fora now strategic railway , a bon petit Inci dent on the frontier' Is ono of tttfi , rtvacellorV favorite tricks to obtain what Iw1 wants from the relchstag. ' The incident at Noveaut means this , nothing more , and France should Answer it In the sumo manner as wo replied to the provocation last February by absolute silence. " The Gallos says : "Either Bismarck desires peace or ho seeks to provoke war. If ho wishes peace the Noveiut Incldon was certainly not arranged by him , In whlcn case It can bo explained on the mound of excess of zeal of a minor German official , and may bo considered as it it never occurred. If , on the other hand , Bisnlarck seeks Ho provoke war , he would never stoop to such a trivial Incident , that Hinells'too much of the policeman. Bismarck would seek a pretext * bas ii ' > upon some solid national grounds , hence the trivial squabble between policemen will bo ex plained away and surely not lead to jvar. " Moanvvhllo French rentes have gone down two francs , which represents a shrinkage of values exceeding 8100,000,000 , and the bourse Is again frantic , with feverish speculation . But opinion throughout Franco Is not to allow mien a trivial Incident to' become the cause of war. > iium.r.RCjUBiNo SAIIA iir.iiNHAnnT.

Special to the BKI : . | Domestic dif ferences , of slender interest to the outer world , have chleily occupied Vienna this week. Bulgaria stands where It did. Kaul- bars has left , but Storloll has not yet do- parted. Kalnocky Is disappointed at tlio non-decoration of Do Glcrsby Emperor Alex ander , and Austria's attitude toward Russia is somewhat cooler thin before Easter. The politicians are breaking their heads in the endeavor to understand the true inwardness of the Do Glcrs' pii7zle , and there Is appre hension ot war in the Balkans this spring. But an official who stands very near Count Kalnocky said to me to-day : "Mark my words ; about August tlicto will bo trouble. The political stagnation which exists has given people time here to discuss several local matters aflectlng both nations. " NIIVV n.Acr.s OK ASII'SFMEHTV This hospitable but sleepy cltv , for so great h netropolls as Vienna , has wonder fully llyile amusement to otfer visitors. Half a do/eittheaters , the classical concerts , the Prater sr aus band , the exhibition at the Frledcman'ruccs , a tatooed phenomenon and performances few second-class strolling volks-saengor ate at present all the public has to shojr strangers. Nor is it overeasy to hunt some of these after mid night , owing | b the peculiarities of the street Illuminationvo called on the Incus a non- lucucdo principle. An elTort , however , Is at last being irAdo to enliven the city. Two schemes ar f on foot for building a handsome stndtheater and variety theater of the Al- hambraor Eden kind , to be called the "WIo- nor Crystal Palace , " Ere long ; too , the su perb now llofburg theater , facing Rithaens , will bo opened. Finally there Is some hope tlmt several public buildings will soon be lighted by electricity. IIUMOIIKD MIIIMSTIC PLOT. Rumms. which are so far unconfirmed , are afloat that the alleged abandonment of the czar and crarlna's journey to the Crimea was caused by a fresh dlscoverv ot a nihilist plot to blow up the Imperial train. To make assurance doubly sure , It Is even said that the conspirators had arranged to blow up the Odessa station ut the tlmo of the imperial couple's arrival. IIH.Y SYMl'AlllIZr.VlTn FIIANCR. The incident on the Franco-German fron tier overshadows all other political topics here. What some call the gro- and appar ently deliberate brutality of the German officials , is commented on with hardly con cealed disgust. The press are practically unanimous In condemning Schnaebelcs' arrest as a violation of International law , it tlie facts are correct. Several Independent organisations have allowed It to bo clearly inferred that'thoy fear the Incident was planned with a directHvlsli to provoke Franco. The facts are naturally connected by the alaimists with the slnster passages of Bismarck's last speech. The atfalr quite overshadows homo politics for tlio moment , and though It is not thought pi udcnt to glvo full vent to the feeling In print , It is plain from the general drift of pi ess comments that Austrian sympathy so far.ls all with Franco. As several papers point out , it matters little whether Schnaebcles' arrest WHS strictly Ie0'al or illegal. ' 1 ho chief points to consider are how the ancst wasauectcd , and what Impression It will maUu on the already much tried patlenco of tint Fionch nation On the whole , loss pessimistic views provol to-night , despite the al timing reports of Count Walderseo's journey to the frontier. J.IPI U.MIKH A CI.OUI > . The mysterious disappearance of a charge d' Affaire of a minor European govcrnmen from Vienna , Is to-night being very freely strangely commented on In the clubs nnd cafes of the liuiieri.il city.

The Itcsult of Schnnchclc'M Arrest Avvultcd With CurioNlty. ( Copyright lMS7luJamti Gordon UeimeCM BKiiM.v , April 2.1. [ New York Herald Sablu Special to the BKf.J The oriest on , ho Trench frontier is regarded now rather from a point of curiosity as to why It oc curred and how the Gorman government can ; ct out of the scrape , than as a matter of In- teiest or a cause of anxiety. 1 have to-diy seen a number of prominent persons whose ludgracnt on current events I found reliable at other times. With u single exception all were unanimous tint the tiontler blunder was unlikely to cruise the slightest complica tion or lasting Ill-feeling between Germany and France. One person , whoso Information Is concrally accurate , tells mo that Schnac- bele had most dangerous relations w 1th a cer tain German odlcor ; that ho is ouo of several French agents ot his typo who are feared by the German authorities. The design , there fore , was to strike him as unexpectedly as possible , get tlio papers certainly and scare the other nents ; then , If foiced to do so , re lease him and disown the action of the local pollen ; but , moio probibly , glvo him a trial , condemn him to severe punishment , and then deliver him tolho French before the penalty was enforced. Ono curious bit of tactics the event brings to light-that since the election specially trusted Gei man police agents they spread over the districts to In vestigate the feelings of the people toward Germany. Such disguised police seem to have been the agents used in the aricst of Schnaebelo. A PESSIMIST'S VIF.WS. One undischarged pessimist tells mo ho re gards the arrest ot Schnaebelo as a serious matter because It Is such a characteristic hit ot Bisnmick's. It Is Intended to Irritate the 1-lunch nation to a point where the Ficnch will force war in spite of Germany's apologies or apparent deslio foi peace , thus making France tlui airgressor. This \ low Is not w Ide spread , but there are still many not lll-In- formed Germans who have been expecting the declaration of a Franco-Gorman war each day for the past thico months and are still prepared for a declaration of war. Such pessimists are , I notice , generally closely con nected with military circles , although not themselves soldicis. DEVLISH DICKDS. Landlord OturagoH In the Land Eng land Wants to Coerce.

I The Interview In the St. Louis paper between Piesldont Cleveland and n prominent democratic senator In which the former is made to decline the nomination Is ridiculed here. On the day the dispatch was sent west SonatoisVest audCockrell of Missouri and Jones of Ar kansas were at the white house. Cocktell Is not gushing enough to slop over on such a subject nnd Jones of Arkansas would not claim to have been taken Into the president's confidence. The general cuess as to the origin of tlio dispatch gives Senator Vest all the credit that belongs to It This Is the opinion as to the authorship at tlio white house. Colonel Lament of course denies the alleged Interview nnd says there Is no occasion for tlui president to express himself at this time on the subject of renominatlon. The Interview is very annoying to Mr. Cleve land because It makes him appear like a sell- glorlller and conceited prig. Mr. Vest's so- jcrct dislike of thofways of the administra tion and his outward adulation of the presi dent are well known , If the president over declared ho was ' tiled of being in office ho meant no more than other eminent office-holders have meant. They complain of the hardships of wiblic duties. The Inter view Is believed 'to ' bo a Job put up for the purpose of forcing Cleveland to commit himself. Ho refuses to bo trapped. The president himself denies In the most emphatic terms that ho has expressed to any person his Intentions with respect to a second term. Ho was In conversation with more than one visitor and has been pressed to commit himself on this question. To every one he has made the same answer , viz : That lie had not given any thought to a renomina tlon ; that It was af much as he could do to find tlmo to think about how to get through the present four years with benelit to the countrv. satisfactorily to the people who elected htm and credit to himself. This is as much ns ho has over said. On the general topic allusion to his health , which ho Is quoted as making ho de- tlaies ho never made and would not make , as ho has no such apprehensions ns are attributed to him.

The Tribune will say editorially to-morrow : "Now that the battle over tho.Tribune's . modest , tranquil and successful' endeavor to obtain from veterans of the Grand Army their individual opinions on the subject of pension legisla tion has spread over the country , it Is well to Inquire in the Interest of peace and good fel lowship wbo the antagonists are.

( Special Telegram to he BKK. ] Superintendent Itobortson , of the i'lnkerton agency , was asked to-day as to the truth of the statement that detectives were shadowing Mr. Patrick Egan , ox-presl- lent of the N Ulotnl hmue. "It Is all bosh as far as wo are concerned , " said ho. "Some > ears ago , " ho continued , "wo did gomo vork for the Knsllsh government on this and league business , but at present , I as- smojou , wo have nothing to do with or tor Downing street , or with newspapers or other detectives , or Irish or British govern- iientnl nmtteis. It would not bo difficult , I im sure , to procure specimens of Mr , Lgan s mud writing. About that gentleman or his business , lunvever , neither the I'lnkerton ngoncj nor mjself know anvthlng bojond what appears in tlio public pilnt. " Iho sanm reply was maoV by the leprcsentatlvts of othei local detective agencies , though ono 01 two suggested that If the Pinkeitons were rneiitfed in the work they would natuially deny It.

"U hat led mo to this belief was that two or three times I have noticed persons following mo ; then again a man would como Into my office and Inquire about some trivial matter. The purpose of his visit was plainly to slo m up and acquaint himself with my ) vrsonal apiieauuice. It them wcro such men hero their business , I think , is to aciiuaint them selves with the personnel ot tlio Irish sympa thisers In this country. ' 1 hey haidly expect to connect mo with any overt act. Do I think there will bo any overt acts If the bill should become a law ? I do. but 1 don't think they could be traced to this country. However , there are some individuals hero and small bodies of men who ale veiy bitter In their hatred ot Kngland. and 1 would not bo sur prised If they would do something criminal. There are a good many rumors alloat that schemes and plots and bomb throwing con- snliaclcsaro alreadv on foot , but I takn no stork In them. Such things would hurt the Irish cause.
