SEVENTEENTHf YEAE. OMAHA. SUlSTJTAY MORNING , VERY UNFRIENDLY FEELINGS , Thej.Eiist at tba Present Time Between Germany and franco , DIPLOMATIC PROTESTS MADE Iho Relations nctwenn Kim I a anil Germany are Quito Strained Hou- lanRcr Writes n I/cttcr AV'hlch Causes a Sensation. France Ocrmnny and Utissln. iJr.m.iN , July 10 , The tension of feeling toward Franco has relaxed slhco the French fete day has passed without the occtirenco of nny anti-German demonstration. Tlio ac counts In the German papers of Incidents In Paris on Thursday represent that the rcpres- v. slon of popular outburst was solely accom plished by the presence of such mascsof troops nil along the route traveled by President Qrevy and his ministers on their way to tlio review at Long Champ , ns had never been seen In Pnrls since tlio days of the Empire , andythc papers seem to prove thatthe populace were in readiness to make n demonstration , &nd that the extraordinary precautions taken by the government , although successful In paralyzing the Chauvinists , had given a fectltlous rxsyect to ttio calmness which char acterized the day. The German nmbaasy in Paris was specially guarded. Thoieturn to the Cciman people of n calmer mood A toward France can bo assured , however , only by the cessation of a systematic persecution of German residents In French towns , yet the tendency seems to bo all the other way. Minor German employes are being hunted out of their places at the rate of ono hundred weekly , nnd it Is estimated that Germans holding situations In France , who last year mimcred U.2,000 , have been decreased one-half within the past six months. Constant . streams of appeals 'for hclo against the outrages being perpetrated upon the Germans nro being made to the German ambassay at Paris. The.se appeals were made the subject of an oral diplomatic representation to M. Florons , the foreign minister , by Count VonMunstor on Wednesday last. The count has followed his oral representation with a written re monstrance to which the French minister , M. Florens , will have to make a written reply. Minister Florens Is also asked by Count Yon Munster If Ills government Is powerless to deal with the organ of the Boulangcrists , the Le' Dcfonese National , which declared that the German functionaries in France wcro all spies , that the central nest of reptiles was the German nmbassy , and that Count Von Munster him self was under the direction of nspy adminis tration. Florons has made verbal promise to Interfere and use every power of the government to prevent nssaults on the Germans In the future. Since Count Von Munster made these re monstrances the German consulate at Bor deaux nnd Kouen report street attacks upon Germans In these cities , and the Bordeaux consul complains that the windows of his residence have been smashed. Gorman papers of every party concur in the opinion that'.tho situation Is lntolerableand that it is absolutely necessary for ttio French govern ment to Interpose resolutely to stop German " baiting , " IIUSSIA AND OKllMANY. The chief topic of Interest in Berlin after the Fiench situation Is the unceasing depre ciation of Russian stocks. The fact Is now recognized by both political and financial circles that the movement Is not led by the speculators , but has definite olllclal Inspira tion and Is a part of the government cam paign of retaliation against the Uusslan nnd anti-German economy policy. During the last fortnight the fall In Uusslan securities of all Issues averaged dally t ) per cent. The return to economic friendship will not bo as sisted by the latest Russian order dismissing all Germans employed In commercial and banking firms In the region of Bt. Petersburg , Moscow and clsewhcro in .Russia , nor by the government's refusal to adopt the concurrent edict of the professor ot Dorpat university , that it would bo un wise henccfotth to conclusively use the Kus sian language In classes , which rcfusa caused the pioresoors without exception t < resign. The enforcement of the govern ment'a edict will be postponed for thirty' one years , but after that tin last German school In the Baltic provinces must bo extinguished. Tlu National Zeltnng announces the successful police raid on Berlin socialists yesterday evening , when seven persons , forming the central committee of a secret society of dem ocratH , worb arrested. It Is reported thai grave evidence of treasonable conspiracy Los been obtained against them. BoulnnRor Causes * Sensation , PAIHS. July 10.

WAS THE ENGINEER TO BLAME. 'ho Coroner Undecided About Ilold- tnK nn Iiitleat--Suii9troko | nncl JMorpliIno Do Deadly Work at The Wreck's Fatnl Itcsult * . LINCOLN , Neb. , July 10. [ Special Tele gram to the UKK | Dr. Max Itandnll , the tan so terribly burned In the B. & M. wreck , icar this place yesterday , died at 4 p. m. at lie Trcmont house after thirty-six hours ot ntunsesulTerlng. By the dead man's side ays his son , burned and swollen boy on d ccognltion , unconscious nnd undoubtedly lowly dying also. At 10 o'clock to-nlzht hu boy isyctallvo , but the physicians hold orth scarcely no hope. The relatives , who veto summoned by telegraph , surrounded ho bedside of the dead and the dying , nnd ho scene was heartrending. The IIK ailed at the coroner's office and found the fllclal undecided as yet as to holding an In quest , but It Is probable that ono will be eld. Public opinion demands It , and on every hand the sentiment is that the fcnr- ul accident should bo probed to the bottom. Klther the engineer ot the train is guilty of iiauslaughterthrough criminal carelessness or the railroad company Is uuilty of working ts men beyond human endurance. In the afternoon tlio company had an investigation of Its own , and It Is understood that Kn- ; lneer Bowser , of the regular train , is clven ho blame , but an investigation of that kind nvestlirate.s nothing , and the public know It , ind the public further demand that the burled secrets of the corporation be uncov ered. It Is the almost universal opinion that iCnglncor Bowser was asleep at his post , for 10 saw neither the signal at ho station of Uavelock and saw not the .rain ho ran into , althoiuh the track was as straight as an arrow for miles. Tha conductor if the train saw the signal and with the } rakeman set fifteen brakes on the tear of .ho train before the crash came , but received no lielp from the engineer. The prevailing iplnion is also that the train men in many Instances are worked beyond human endur ance , and the public seem to believe this a case of that character. The people In dis cussing the matter believe and peak out that n good Intelligent jury should bo summoned t > y the coroner and put the responsibility where It belongs without the railroad com pany being judge and jury nnd custodian of Iho fpcts themselves. The good of the pub lic and of every lailroad man is rcali/.ed to be nt stake In this accident , and if it Is not fixed to the bottom there will be a storm of Indignant protests that will not down at the pleasure of the railroad management. The people of Lincoln want the truth known , and If the coroner should fall to hold an In- questitmaybo expected that Judge Mason , as one of the railroad commission , will take the matter in charge. Nothing for some time In the capital city has created so much discussion ns ttio tragic death of Dr. Randall and the almost equally certain death of Ills son by cremation in a wreck for which Kn- gineer Bowser or the railroad company is directly responsible.

Speculative trade Is gradually improving , though the largest deliveries are meeting with moro favor , especially the grain shipping demand for both grain and provisions lias been well maintained and stocks have been further re duced , indicating a healthy trade. Advices regarding the growing ciops report sotno damage to small grain by Insects and drouth , nnd the dry weither has checked the growth of corn in some sections , but the damage In the aggrr&ato is not supposed to bo larger than usually reported nt this season ot the year. In fact the outlook must bo regarded as favorable for Increased production in the aggregate unless sotno uiitoiseen calamity should overtaKe them before maturity. Ar- nvalsof grain at the principal western mar kets have been comparatively light while tha" shlpmento have been milto liberal. The ex- poit movement Is well mnlnfnlned In both grain and provisions with prospects that they will bo continued for Mimotlmo at least. Arrivals of live stock have noa been quite sd liberal , which may bo duo to the fact that farmers in some sections are now busily en- , , , gaied in harvesting operations.
