-apeclal to the Hit.j : : Herlln'H yarn and
woolen ware trade is In a sad state ot panic
to-day. Stelnthnl , the agent for the lllisch-
Plnnar company , a large English woolen
house , last week loft town for parts un
known. His accounts when examined proved
to boa terrible muddle of bills of credit , loans
and debts Involving a large loss. This In it
self Is not so unusual as to attract
much attention , but what scared the
tiadowas that there seemed to bo no end to
the business houses whose failure was
brought about by this delalcntlon. The great
house of Lekyr , Hlrschfeld Co. , largely In
the Amiirlcnn woolen trade , went under for
1,000,000 marks ; Densson followed for an
other million or thereabouts , and two smaller
linns announced their suspension , making
altogether seven firms which have
gone down like a row of ten
pins In three days , With these fail
ures came rumors that this or that
bank was crippled by loans to Insolvent
woolen firms , or that woolen manufacturers
In other pattsot Germany would bo pulled
under. This gave Herlln a panic , and alto
gether It seemed for awhile as If very serious
results might follow the display of weakness
thus made In the woolen trade. Later in the
day It was announced that most of the In
solvent films would bo allowed to settle with
their creditors at trom 33 to TO per cent of the
face value of the notes. This stopped the
great anxiety that had previously been lelt ,
although rumors of disaster to many other
firms were circulated all day. The weakness
this panic developed among the woolen limit
IH felt to show the weak spot in the German
trade Is duo to considerable overproduction
nnd consequently frantic cffoits to sell UK
surplus at any price in Russia or America.
COMMHNT ON rnr.Ncu MOIIII.I/.ATION.
To-day's cilsls , although an anxious time
for woolen men , produced no effect on tin
general market or stock quotations. An un
easy feeling was cieated In Herlln by strong
articles in to-nlsht's issues of two semiofficial
ficial papers declaring the proposed mobili/a-
tion of two French army corps. The Ilk
Post points out in very vigorous language
that the mere probability of any two French
army corps being called out forces every
French general to have his corps ready lot
n mobill/atlon call at the shortest no
tice. Thus , says the Post , by the ap
parently Innocent device of ordering UK
nioblll/atlon of two army corps , but leaving
the selection ot these corps undecided for ?
while , Houlnnger will place the whole Ftencli
army on the qul vivo. When he doc :
nioblli/.o the two corps , he will thus have tin
whole nimy so far ready that In four days tc
be able to pour live army corps ncross the de
fenseless German frontier. After pointing
out the case with which the French army ,
once ready for war , would lind in making an
excuse to attack unprepared Germany , tin
Post asks whether Germany must not alsc
begin to arm by calling out , not only two ,
but several army corps. "Yes , " it answers
"wo must , In such event , moblli/.e our army
Moreover , wo must summon all the service
nble horses and all the trained soldiers fron
Itelchsland. For once tlui French are li
Lorraine , and nil the horses In the annexed
provinces will bo seized. With the hor.se :
there will probably also go over to the Front11
army n largo part of the men of Alsace-Lor
raine whom we have so carefully trained t <
tight. "
The Kreuso Xeltung has a somewhat slml
lar article. Baron Rothschild already begin'
to pack the Kieuso Xeltung as tlio organ 01
aristocratic Herlln society. As the warlike
tone of tlio Post at times has high olllcial
Inspiration , at other times It has trio hyster
Ics. The question Is whether the presen
war article Is duo to Inspiration or hysterics
In cither case It Is felt hero that the articli
does not make the situation any more peace
fill , though perhaps Us statements may jus
tlfy the strengthening of the army toitllica-
tlons lu Utilchsland.

of much political Interest neie. having been

must nave in view some object ot sulliclcut
Importance to justify such unusual departure
trom diplomatic customs and Hismarckinn
roieno. One gentleman who speak.s with
some authority because a close student of
European politicssaid to me to-day : "Ger
man action In publishing this important
treaty between Austria nnd Russia throws a
curious light on Europe's condition. In my
opinion it proses that Bismarck thinks the
only hope lies In giving Russia what It wants
In the Balkans. Austria once understood
this , a.s Is ptoved by the secretary just pub
lished. Austria wns ten vonrs ago so certain
'hat Russia must nvcntually take llulgaria
, hat she agreed to accept HostiU and Hcr/e-
{ ovluia as the price of Austrian neutrality
iiurlng Russia's occupation of Bulgaria.
Austria , howeser , by good luck , got her share
of the eastern question plunder , while Russia
cot nothing. Austria wants no more of
Turkey. Like many other reformed robbers ,
Austria now disapproves of the burglary to
inch an extent that she talks of being willing
o aid the arrest of her old pal , Russia , It
tussia attempts to get a share ot the Turkish
plunder. Rlsmarck hns repeatedly said that
icrmany has an interest in the eastern mios-
Ion , but Bismarck is vitally Intorest-'d In
maintaining Austria as n gieat power , and
nlso In maintaining European peace. Yes , it
is a curious statement trom a Frenchman ,
but I see cleaily that Russia could , in case of
war , easily conquer Austria alone. The con-
inest would mean annihilation fet
\tistrlu , but this annihilation Ger-
nany must prevent at all ha/aids.
Wo would then have Russia and Fiance
against Austria and Germany , plus nn un
certain Italy. You see why I thinn
Germany gains by peace while the
French mlcht gain by war. ISIsmaick
was recently warned that Kussla
by peace or war would obtain within a tew
months that portion of the Balkan territory

rasi to the HKI : . [ James G. Ulalne , Gover

lilaino's well known lieutenants , have been
at Har Harbor for the last few days making
preparations for the summer. In splto ol the
statements that Hlalno Intends to sail for
Europe Juno 0 for several months'absence ,
t Is generally understood that ho has no
such Intention. On the contrary , It Is said
by his friends that ho is making ready for n
I'igoious campaign and that Bar Harbor will
bo his political lieadqimitcrs tills summer.
It Is to mature these arrangements that he
has taken his lalthtul followers to Mount
Desert to perfect his plans. Ono of Ulalno's
strongest hopes is the labor vole. It he
leaves Amoiicn nnd hides himself abroad
until next fall , ho will miss an oppor
tunity to keep his grasp on the labor
ing men that may oiler In the
meantime. Ho will also bo unable to keep
his eye on Sherman. These two points ari
of too much importance for tlio plumed
knight to lose slgbtof , nnd are considered
effective answeis to the rumors that lie in
tends to go to Kurope. A conference ot re
publican leaders has been called to assemble
at Bar Harbor this summer , when the pulse
of the party will bo felt. Hy the time Mr ,
Hlalno closes his cottage ho expects to know
whether it will bo possible tor njm to get the

the presidential line fails him , It is fully be
lieved he will conclude to go back to tin

will not bo contented to stnv In his llbrnry it

man is mote Inclined to innke history than
towutolr. Incase ho concludes that In
would like one more term in tlio senate
there Is no doubt that ho can hnvo the place ,
'Iho Maine republicans nro well united or

them to see that ho gets whatever ho wnnts

without a thoiuht , If by so doing the desires

o tlio HnK.l There Is now no doubt whatever -
over that Wllll.un O'llrlen IMS , to u great
extent , compassed tliu objoot of Ills visit tu >
Canada. Ills purpose was to excite public
opinion In tliu Doiuliilon U such nil extent'
that thootllcoof governor general could ba
made too hot ( or Ills Loulslilpof I. nils-
lowne. No one now denies that ho has sue-
ceeded In doing this , ami ovou among ttio
l''reueli portion of tliu Canadian population
unusual Intcicst has boon awakened by
O'UiIen's trenchant spoecltm. Many people
\vlio ha\o boon Inclined to cavil at O'Bilen's
coining to Canada have nlso been Inclined to
question the assertion that it would bo pto-
ductlvo ot much good for tlui Irish cause
generally nnd bring the tyrant of Lans-
ilowno's estate to tliuu In shoit order. It lias
been pointed out that the olllco of governor
goueial of Canada Is not an elective one , that
oillclal Miuply being an appointee of the
government , and the iiueiy has arisen ,
"What efiect can O'Bilen hope for from ! -
tntlon nnd public opinion In such ciicum-
stances and succeed In depilvlng Lord Lansdowne -
downe of his ollico It' ho should ex
cite nL'alust him tliu opposition of the
entire Canadian people ? " O'llrien's answer -
swor to thU Is very simple : "Tho ofllco ot
ehlet secietary to Ireland Is not nn elective
ono , and yet , owing to the pressure of public
opinion alone , half n do/on objectionable
Incumbents ot this olllco have been Ignomin-
lously driven Irom It. " Just at the present
juncture U does not taUo much to excite the
Canadian mind against any oUlclal repre
senting the Imperial government , from the
tact that the imperial government has never
yet been known to appoint n nutho bom Ca
nadian to the otllco ot goveiuor general. The
Canadians lung ago bewail to glow rostlvo
under the BVNlom which hns always ap
pointed for tlielr ruler an alien , unac
quainted with the country and not in har

gibjvance the Impeiial Icgislatuio Is hound
never to attempt to torce on the people ot
Canada a ropresontatlve ot iliuciown who la
not acceptable to all shades and classes of Its
cosmopolitan population. O'Hrlon claims
that it ho so awakens the minds of his fol
low countrj men to the enormities which
Lnnsdownn has nuen purpetiatlng on Ilia Sill
lilsh estates as to bring about in the Domin
ion parliament an expression
of disapprobation at his lord-
ship's conduct. Lnnsdowno'H doom ns
governor Roncrnl of Canada Is sealed. Al-
icady tlie Ficiich-Canndinns are beginning
to crow alarmed , for they iccognl/o iho lact
that while It is but the Irish section ot the
Canadian people who aio dissatisfied with
their ruler , it may bo their own turn to
morrow.
O'Brion will leave heio for Toronto to
night and will speak there to-morrow.
The opposition to him still continues to
dwindle the utterances of the mayor of
Toronto and oilier prominent citizens are to
bo trusted , lint there can bo but little doubt
that some species of opposition will besought
sought to bo developed.
Mr. O'Hrien received n telegram from
Cahlll , of Toronto , to-day , stating that the
committee there had been unable to secure
hall , but that the Irishmen of Toronto had
made preparations for an open-air meeting.
A public meeting lias therefore been ar
ranged for In one of tlio public squaies , and
will be addressed by O'Hiicn and his friends

sage from Toronto further stated that a re
action had already set In there nnd that

The editor of United Iicland was seen by
a reporter und said that , while ho had no

"o\en though there should not bo n police
