LONIION , Juno IS. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to the IKI.J : I am enabled
to send you an rintlioil/.ed olllclal co | y if thu
crimes bill as it passed the committee. It
'
will undoubtedly pass the house as It now
reads , and of course the lords also soon
afterwards. Your readers must first bear in
mind that the llrst six sections , called hero
clauses , have alone been considered In com
mittee. The whole remaining sections have
been repotted by the operation of cloture to
the house for consideration on third read
ing without opportunity to amend In com
mittee of the whole. Of course certain
amendments may be now named , but with
the party In power there Is
less proclaimed , 'Iho district attorney gen
eral of Iteland may , if ho thinks lit , by an
order In writing , under his direct resident
magistrate , of whoso legal knowledge and
experience the lord chancellor shall be satis-
lied , hold Inquiry under this section , and
thereupon such resident magistrate may. If
ho so thinks fit. although no person may bo
charged before him with the commission of
such crime , sit at police court , when the
offense has been committed , in Dublin , or in
the place where the petty sessions for the
petty sessional district In which said offense
has been commuted are usually held , and ex
amine ono or the other concerning such
offense any person whom he has reason to
believe to bo a scope for them. The proba
bilities , thcief ore , are that all the now nn-
consldcred sections 7 to 20 will pass as
they now read that Is to say , In torty-ono
sittings , Ono hundred and tifty-thrce lines
have been passed by commons and 293 lines
! more have to be swallowed under cloturr , or ,
i as Americans term it , tlio previous question.

[ CopvrtoM ISSJby Jamu Qonlnn 7midt. ;
BHU.IN , Juno 18. [ New' York Horali
Cable Special to ttie BKK. ] No man couli
desire a greater tribute to his scientific repu
tatlon that Prof. Vlrchow recently obtained
not only in Germany , but in England am
America as well. Several very eminent mcd
leal authorities were of the opinion that enl ;
a very dangerous operation could save th
crown prince trom UeaOi by cancer. Uefor
using this operation the different specialist
agreed to submit the case to Vlrchow's decis
ion. Accordingly three small pieces wcr
cut from the diseased portions of the throat
each piece In a section not bigger than a pen
It may fairly bo said that Germany held it
breath while toe scientist looked through hi
microscope at the minute portions of royaltj
Fortho physiciansVirchovv wrote out tw
pases of reasons why the grow th In th
prince's throat was. harmless and not cancel
ous In its nature. Do far as 1 know thes
reasons are equally convincing to both th
cancerlte and antlcanccrlto physicians. J3i
the mass of Germans did not want to rea
the report of the great authority on cancer )
They simply related , "Virthow says It I
not a cancer , " than ran to cheer the crown
prince , perfectly convinced of security.
WHAT vtuciiovr JA\S.
1 said to 1'rof. Vlrchow that many Ger
man's In America would like to be assured
directly from him ot the prince's safety. Ho
permits me therefore to say to ) our German
readers that ho examined three pieces show-
lug a section of diseased portion of the
prince's throat. It proved to be a harmless
vvartllku growth , with nothing cancerous
about It and no suspicion of cancerous
growth near It. Cancer could not result
from such a growth nor was cancer
specially likely to occur near It. 1'achy-
( tcimla Vcrrulas , ho thought , a good
name for tlio growth. It grew as a
waity mass just where the voice formed. If
neglected It might Increase. Its llrst effect
was on the voice , but It Imn no effect on the
general health. Ho said ho hoped thu trouble

The message expressed the irratef id apprc-
latlon with which the emperor nxaided

> vhereby the defense ot the umpire and Its
inanclhl position acquired that strength and
olldlty which were the primary conditions of
_ oace , as they were also ot the empire's
general development. When the reading
iv as concluded the members separated with
hreo cheers for ( lie emperor. A general re-
lew of the legislation effected and the posl-
Ion of the parties show the sticngth of the
government , reposing on the support of the
hreo leading groups In the relchstag , is
greater than ever. It has been proved dur-
nc the debates that the revenues arising
rom the spirit and sugar duties will more
han cover Increased army expenditures , the
pirit tax alone Increasing the treasury re
ceipts 1W,000,000 marks.

In sentencing the Iittlpslcprisoncis to-day ,
ho president of the court referred to the ob-
.ect of the patilotlc league as being plainly a
rcconquest of AIsac-Lorralne by an armed
orce. Involving a war of revenge ; therefore ,
persons becoming members shared tlio de
signs of the league , and if German subjects ,
were guilty of hi h treason. In taking a
nllder v low of the position of the accused ,
tlio prosecution desired to believe they wcro
inawareof the significance of their acts.
The mildness ot the sentences corresponded
with the tone ot the imperial procurator
throughout the trial.

has come when the emperor must pass away

WASHINOTOV , Juno IS. ( Special to the
BiiK.I Grunt attention has boon ulven hero
recently , not only by tliii scholars who report
nn educational development In every put of
the woild for tie ! government's educational
bureau , but by thu bolter Informed class of
public men and all students of social prob
lems and i opular education to tlio system of
"university extension" In England. The
question Is asked whether or not this does
not contain a bint whereby educational work
In the United States may bo lurtlieied In an
unprecedented way not at the public ex-
but by public spirit at the c\pcnso
if the pupils'.1
This novel tuo\cment called "unherslty
\tunslon" has been In prozress In England
i > r moio than ten jears , and theie Is now no
.uestton as to Its popularity or success. Tlio
Unlveislty ot Cambridge lias supplied lee-
irers for 003 "extension" courses , which
, a\o reached 00,000 heaiers , moro than oue-
alf of whom have shown themselves to bo
arnest students bv n'.tendliu class exercises
n addition to tlio lectuios. Not Cambridge
lone , but the University of Oxford , Owens
ollege , at Manchester , and the local colleges
.tLlvcipool , Leeds , Birmingham , Hrlstol ,
ilieHleld , Nottingham , Cardiff and Hanger
re all engaged In this democratic educ.a-
ional mission. Tlio Idea Is talcing Hold of
: oiiBcr\ativo Scotland and It has alieady been
ut In practice by tlio universities of Aus-
.ralla. Sooner or later the movement must
weep America , for It Is essentially demo-
ratlc.
To a practical mind the most Interesting
'eaturo of this movement is Its economic
jharactcr. It Is not altogether n missionary
uovemcnt or an educational ciusadc. It has
.ts business sido. It In primarily a case of
-lemaml and supply , llepresontatlvesof labor
and capital In England Im\o awakened to the
lact that universities aio In possession ot a
useful commodity called solid higher educa
tion. Men beMn to realize that a coodKnowl-
sdge of English liistory , political economy ,
nodal science , literature , and the aits makes
or the general improvement of society and
.ho development ot a better state ot icollng
among Its members. The present demand is
not for common schools , these exist alieady.
The cry Is higher education for adult voters
and persons past the school ago too busily
enca ed perhaps In othei pursuits to permit
of much continuous study , and vet able to
glvobomo of their tlmo to intellectual im
provement.
Giaspin the situation and Its possibilities ,
public spirited individuals bavo formed edu
cational societies or associations In towns
and parishes. They have afliliatcd with ex
isting local Institutions jof an educational or
social charactei , such as local colleges , Insti
tutes , literary and philosophical societies ,
church institutes , mechanics' institutes ,
night schools , etc , ; they liavo appointed
active secretaries with subcommittees rcpin-
sentlngthe ladles , young people who sell
tickets , teachers , artisans ; without sectarian
or political entanglements they have united
the test forces of .the community , with the
mayor ot ttomo public officer at the head ;
thev have tnRen suDscrlptlon shares of live
dollars , some persons tvklng several shares ,
others clubbing together tor one share , tint
nil havlntt representat'on In the society.
Upon such a hound ecoiiomicil basis thcso
educational associations have undo their do-
mauds upon the universities lot local In
struction by lectures In systematic courses ,
costing from tlueo to five bhillliigs tor a
course ticket.
The universities meet this demand by a
supply of well trained , enthusiastic young
lecturers who.for a reasonable compensation ,
arc willing to give public courses In tnc
towns anddlstiicts of England. The Cam
bridge men no out from their comfortable
Quarters to Icctuio to tlio people for n v aricty
of considerations , good will , ambition for
distinction , nubile splilt , scientific propa
ganda and a tee ofJ5 toi a lecture once a
week for twelve weeks. They agico also to
conduct a class each week for review or dis
cussion of the picvlous lectuie , and to correct
voluntary exercises written at the student's
own homo upon sot questions requiring
private reading. This Involves laborious ,
painstaking work on the part ot both lecturer
and student. The university aupolutb an
examiner upon the term's work as maikcd
out in the kcturer's printed syllabus of topics
which , by reason of Its caieful analysls.sives
much labor In note taking. Tlio examination
leo Is ten dollars. Two sorts of certificates
are given , "piss" and "with distinction. '
Theiu Is no fin ( her gradation of rank unless
the local nuthoiities oiler piizes.
A term's work of twelve lectures and
twelve class exercises is tlio unit of the Unl-
veislty Extension svstem. It costs altogether
about fc-U5 , including the lecturers fee ,
advertising and other Incidentals. Kntei-
prising towns and district unions quickly
multiply their courses until they have a
regular curriculum extending through three
v ears , In various groups , such as (1) ( ) litera
ture and history ; ( - ) natural science ; (3) ( ) the
line arts. The courses in English history and
political economy are very attractive. J'er
sons who follow a tlueo v ears' course In one
of the above groups , embracing six courses
of twelve weeks each , and two courses In
one other group besides the choswn specialty
