ble Special to the BJIK. ] The heroine and
victim of the latest Paris scandnl is M'llo
LelHlnger , the German prlroa donna , who
made her first and last appearance In Paris
opera the other evening as Marguerite In
"Faust" Qrcat thlncs were expected of the
debutante , whoso voice was said to have fas
cinated Kaiser William and the Berllners.
On the other hand , the opura management
looked forward to her dohut with fear and
trembling , as It was rumored that the
Chauvinists who had hooted "Lohengrin"
out of Paris , had sworn td. make an
other manifestation If "La Prusslenne"
dared to bravo their hostility. Their fears
were to a great extent justified by events.
Hardly had the 'defendants boun to sing
when applause and hisses broke out together.
Fraulcin Lcisinger , who was terribly ner
vous , lost her head and her vnlco , and though
towaid the end of the opera tlio hisses ceased ,
the attitude of the audience was so hostile
that poor Oretolien felt that slio was doomed.
After the performance she wrote the mana
gers a letter declining to reappear in Paris ,
as she "felt Incapable of returning tea
a spot where she had spent the most un <
happy hours of her life. " The nlTalr has
inado a great stir on the boulevards and 1ms
given the Germans a grand opportunity foi
renewing their attacks on their traditional
enemy.

BKUUN , Sept 15. [ Now York Herald
Cable-Special to the UKE.J There Is no
disposition among Berlin critics or opera
managers to Impute Fraulcin Leisinger's ab
rupt retreat from Paris to French hatred for
all that Is German. While it Is the general
feeling that no Gcrmap slnzer could bo a
permanent success In Paris , it Is nevertheless
acknowledged that Lelslngor had pretty fair
criticism after her first performance of
Faust , in which It Is thought she prob
ably sang badly through the excitement
and nervousness produced by numerous
attacks on her In the French musical papers
as well as by anonymous letters regarding
: ier voice. There Is some difference of opin
ion but nil the critics I saw agreed In creditIng -
Ing her with perfect execution but her style Is
so essentially German ns to bo certainly dis
tasteful to Parisians. It Is generally said
that Lulslnicr's Berlin career will not be
affected by her Paris failure as she Is too
llrmly fixed as an opera house favorite. Site
will undoubtedly bo offered a re-engage
ment at once and when she ap
pears will receive a great popluar ovation
as tlm general public Is Inclined to think her
a victim ot French hatred. The following
Interviews express the prevalllns opinion
among the highest musical authorities of the
Berlin directory :
Von Stranz , ot the Koyal opera house ,
said : "Lelslneer is talented , pretty , and has
a good voice , but Is young and has only just
made her debut here. She failed in Paris
because she was too ambitious and attempted
parts for which she was not thor
oughly prepared. It was her
ambition much nioro than her
volco or unfriendly Parisian criticism which
caused her failure In Faust , Site is a favor
ite with opera managers as well as with that
part of the German public which Is familiar
with her voice , hence she will probably bo
re-engaged hero , her Paris failure being
largely due to nervousness and her having
attempted too much. This has probably not
Injured her career though there Is always a
danger that , like a race liorso which gets a
bad fall over hurdles , she Is thoroughly re
liable again. "
Graf Uochborg , the Intendant of the Royal
theater was too much occupied with his new
play to discuss Lolslnger's departure from
Paris , but informed mo that sue Is not yet
raongazcd , and that there will bo no cer
tainty of her re-engagement for several days.
Professor Ehrlick , the noted musical critic
of the Berliner Tagoblatt , said that Lelslnger
was scared beforehand by the adverse
comments ot a host of small French
dramatic papers. Anticipating a failure
she naturally did not do her nest. The after
criticism was fair. Her favorite role , Mar-
garito , was well suited to her powers. She
sung many first class lyrical parts In Berlin
and was a great success and much liked
here. She Is too German in all her parts ,
shows too much inner feeling , Is too
much affected by expressions ol
disapprobation to ever succeed in Paris ,
being utterly unsuitcd to the French
taste. The Paris verdict will not harm her.
It will perhaps even make Her more popular
in Berlin.
Urban , another well known critic , said
there was no anti-German feeling shown at
the production of Faust and the after criti
cisms were rather favorable.
OuV correspondent carefully watched the
the opera house during the performance and
afterwards read all tbo notices , Ho reports
that the claim of the retirement ot Lelsingor
was duo to the Doutch Fclndlluckls and that
It was unfounded.
She Is a singer without a heart ; cold , but
technically perfect and with a girllshness
which makes her a great Berlin favorite. She
will undoubtedly bo well received when she
returns to Berlin and all the more so because
people will feel that she was sacrificed to the
hatred for her nation among the theatrical
managers. I find a general feeling that Lets
Inger procured an excellent advertisement ol
a kind not at all calculated to injure her It
Berlin , moreover that she baa attractions ,
volco and Influential backing that Is certalr
to secure her great success when she reap
pears at Berlin among singers and actresses
I hear only praise for Lelslnger and hei
voice. She left Berlin for Paris contrary U
the advlco of all her friends , and In spite ol
good offers from the Koyal opera house.

A MONSTER DEMONSTRATION.
Philadelphia Thronged With Visitors
From AH Over the United
States President and Mn.
Cleveland. Attend.
The Constitution' * Centennial.
Pjui < AiKLPHtA , Sept 15. The last cen
tennial of the nvonts of revolutionary times
jegan this morning. If ttiero is one thing
more than another for which the million and
n half of people who arc temporarily rcni-
dents ot this city are thankful , It Is the
weather. With a clear sky the day so far
gives promise of being everything that could
bo wished for. Philadelphia and her hun
dreds of thousands of guests appeared on the
streets early this morning In their holiday
garb , lUht hearted. All day yesterday and
last night visitors , Including distinguished
guests , military and firemen , arrived by
every possible conveyance , and the dozen
railroad depots were taxed to their utmost
in accommodating the throng which had
locked hero to bear witness by their presence
of their love and veneration for
the historic document which
gave them llbertv and freedom.
All the hotels were filled to overflowing by
yesterday morning and every Inch of sur
plus space has been tilled with cots and other
means of temporary rest It Is safe to say
there arc'200,000 visitors from a distance In
addition to the thousands from adjacent'
counties of Pennsylvania , New Jersey ,
Delaware and Maryland , and hardly a state
or territory will bo unrepresented In the
three days' festival.
In all directions , as far ns the eye can
reach , the streets are a mass of bunting and
decorations. A monster civic and Industrial
pageant started from Broad and Dauphin
streets shortly after 10 o'clock and marched to
Broad and Moore streets , a distance of nearly
live miles , and then counter marched to the
starting point , paslng throueh ono line of
observation standsgaily decorated with flags
of all nations.
Broad street was so crowded as to be al
most Impassable at 7 o'clock. On North
Broad street there was scarcely a house that
was not covered with bunting or in other
ways suitably decorated. Nearly all the side
streets leading Into North Jiroad were roped
off and weio filled with trucks , on which tleis
of seats were erected and rapidly soki.
The scene at the gland reviewing stand ,
situated opposite the Union Lenguo club
house on Broad street , was grand. There
were sixteen telegraphic stations along the
route of the par.ule , which weroostabllshod
for the purpose of communicating from one
end of the line to the other , and just as a
telegram flashed over the wires announcing
tlmt the pageant had started from Broad and
Dauphin street at 10'J5 : a. m. , Governor
Beaver rodn by In his carrlaue and was
greeted with a hearty round of applause.
By 11 o'clock the distinguished guests ,
governors , foreign ministers and others
began to take their assigned places on the
stand. As the different governors passed up
or down Broad street and were recognized ,
they received round after round of cheers.
The central portion of the stand was reserved
for the uovornors of states and their stalls.
Un this stand also were many senators and
representatives in congress , commissioners
of the various states and territories , thirtv
three of whom were present ; the diplomatic
corps , foreign consuls and especially Invited
guests of the commission. The head of the
procession , headed by a cordon of mounted
police , reached the city hall , Broad and Mar
ket streets , at 13:40 : a. m , , and proceeded
around the west side of the city hall ana on
past the grand reviewing stand at Walnut
street
The monster civic and Industrial parade , Il
lustrating the advancement of the Industrial
arts and sciences during the past century , It
Is believed , fairly eclipsed anything of tlm
kind ever known. There were In line 300
floats , each bearing a representation of some
particular branch of industry ; 12,000 men ,
8,000 horses and 160 bands of music. At the
head of the column rode Colonel Snowdun ,
chief marshal , and his staff of fifty
aids , standard bearer and two trum ji
otcrs. Directly behind them and leadIng -
Ing the column Itself was the United States
Marine band , followed by a banner repre
senting Columbia pointing to the past with
ono hand and with the other to the present.
The banner typified the demonstration , and
was drawn on a car Dy six horses. The dis
play from this point was divided Into twenty-
six division , each being under the charge
and supervision of an assistant marshal and
several aids. The first division was headed
by the Patriotic Sons of America , who pre
sented a beautiful display. Following this
float came a band and several floats on
which were tableaux typical of events
during the revolution and reprosentlnr the
different nations which make up Amniica's
population , In native costumes ; a beautiful
temple handsomely decorated , with thirty-
eliht ladles at the portals representing the
states of the union , "Uncle Sam , " the God
dess of Liberty and the thirteen original
states , represented by daughters of America
In costume , and a float on which stood
representations of the school houses a
century ago and those of to-day , surmounted
by schoolchildren.
The remainder of this division was made
up of national and state officers , Including
national and state executive committees in
full regalia , and visiting camps of Sons of
America.
The second division was madp up by the
Carpenters' company of Philadelphia , which
antedates all other Industrial associations ,
having been Incorporated In 1734 , and which
Is tno only Industrial organization In
exlstencn in this city which participated in
the procession In ITS7. The first feature of
this display was a float upon which was
berne a miniature Grecian tompln of thirteen
Corinthian columns , representing the tbir
teen states ot the union of 17S7. which is a
duplicate of the original exhibit of the
Carpenters' company in the parade In 17S7 ,
which commemorated thu adoption of the
federal constitution. Following this was
another temple of the Grecian-Doric order ,
Intended to be emblematic of the present
grand union of states , and bearing upon
each of their thirty-eight columns a shield
with the name of each state. Tlm allegorical
floats were followed by members of the Car
penters' company in carriages.
The third , fourth , fifth and sixth divisions
were given up to Industrial and educational
exhibits. The majority of the remaining
floats represented various industries. Among
them was a display showing the progress In
modes of traveling from the revolutionary
era to the present time by land and water.
The United States mint had an Intcrestlnp
exhibit. The government naval display In
cluded a model of the first steamer which
crossed thi ) Atlantic , a model of the United
States man-of-war Itarttord , models of ne\\
cruisers , many kinds of naval guns , and t
display of llfo Having aparatus.
To give an idoi of the enormous proportions
tions of the Industrial pageant It may be
stated that nt twenty minutes past J o'clock
only seven of the twenty-three divisions had
passed by the reviewing stand and by the
time the Boventli division had passed south
ward the head of the column had antved on
tluer countermarch , having travelled twenty
three squares south of Market street. The
march was made without casualties furthei
than that an unknown man dropped dead
near Chestnut street presumably from heart
disease , and a little girl was somewhai
Injured In the crowd. Among the governors
occupying seats on the reviewing stand wen
Larranen ot Iowa , Beaver of Pennsylvania ,
Hughes of Arkansas , Bucknur of Kentucky
Thayerof Nebraska , Pennoyer of Oregon ,
Wilson of West Virginia. Foraker of Ohio
and Fitzhugh Leo of Virginia.

guns was fired from each of them. All of
them vessels are handsomely decorated with
bunting and flags , and to-night they are Illu

He Delivers Mis First Ohio Campaign
Addrcsfl at Wilmington.
Wir-MiNOTON , O. , Sept. 15. Senator John
Sherman delivered his first speech In the
Ohio campaign before a largo audience at the
fair grounds this afternoon. Referring to the
claims of the political organizations who are
politically against both the great national
pal ties notably the prohibition and labor or
ganizations he said that by their zeal , after
compelling attention to just measures and
reforms , they usually succeeded only In de
feating the uarty most In sympathy with
them. This has been the effect and still is
the tendency of the prohibition party. Ite-
gardlng the labor party , ho said that if there
Is any just and practical moans of public pol
icy that will tend to advance the Interests
of labor , the republican party Is now
and has been ready and willing to adopt It.
There can only be two great political organ
izations in a free country , although there
may bo wings and shades of opinion. The
republican party Is always willing to be
tested , not by what they promise , but by
what they do. The speaker asked who
among the democrats would care to com
pare the doings of his party for thirty years
with the republicans. He added that It was
for making that comparison at Springfield
that the democrats were arraigned for
waving the bloody shirt. It was a bloody
shirt , ho said , a shameless record. "Certain
tenderteet are afraid 1 might hurt some one's
feelings : that wo should banish thu word
rebel" from our vocabulary , that we
should take the now south with the republi
cans , black and white , counted out , and say
nothing. We must surrender our captured
Hags to the rebels who bore them. Our Grand
Army boys , now bent and pray , must march
under a now flag , under the Hag of Grover
Cleveland , or not hold their c.imp fires in St.
Louis. This It the new gospel of the democ
racy and mugwumps. "
Senator Sherman arraigned the democratic
party tor failure to fulfill promises In the
htatu of Ohio and for seeking to maintain its
power In the legislature by election frauds ,
cioss anil palpable. Turning once more to
national nil airs , In explaining the
dllfeiencebetween the republican and demo
cratic parties , the speaker said that
now , as always , republican theories are
founded upon the express words of the con
stitution and the Ideas ot those who formed
and advocated its adoption. After reviewing
the history of the democratic party he said
that It yet holds to Its creed and the doc
trines of the partv pf Calhoun , except only
that it lias abandoned the doctrine of se
cession. This creed 1 now followed in
many respects by < , Presldont Cleveland and
its author apotheoslzed-by the president and
Mr. Lauiar. The great nndunng question of
national politics Is whether the federal
constitution shall ba fairly constructed
and its great powers fairly and fully exer
cised , wncu necessary , as Is the policy of the
republican party , or whether its powers shall
bo limited and crippled by subtle reasoning
by democrati ! , Speaking of the revenue , the
senator said that aa congress has power to
levp duties on Imported goods and levy ex
cise , let these fruitful sources of revenue bo
applied for national purposes. Whenever
revenues are in excess of public wants taxes
should bo repealed or modified. This has
been frequently done by the republicans ,
but now that we have a surplus revenue of
850.000,000 or 800,000,000 the democrats failed
to meet the just responsibility which has
fallen on them hi twenty-four years not
onlv failed , but in the now congress about
to meet the free trade element wish to make
a reduction on that lino. The president has
also prevented the application of the money
in the treasury to proper subjects of expen
ditures by his vetoes and withholding of
signatures to measures which need no refer
ence. The opposition by the democratic
party to just and proper subjects of expendi
ture is in harmony with the general dogmas
about the powers of the national government ,
No act or measure of this administration
tends in any way to the extension of otn
commerce or the development of tht
country. *
The remainder of the speech was devoted
to an arraignment of the administration foi
failure to fulfill its promises regarding the
finances , etc. , and violation of civil service
reform pledges. Some time was given to re
f utlnic the charges of General Powell regard'
ing the granting ot public lauds to corpor
ations. '

CHICAGO , Sept. 15. ( Special Telegram to
the BEE.J A local paper states as the result
of Interviews tlmt none ot the authorities
hero have any Idea that there will ba any
nterfercnco whatever , either by thu United
States supreme court or by the governor with
the execution of the sentence on thu seven
condemned men. The supreme court fixed
thellth day of November for the execution ,
between the hours of 10 and 4. It Is stated
that the sheriff will have the execution take
place as near noon as possible. All the
prisoners will bo executed on ono gallows ,
which will bo erected as usual at the north
nd of "Mutderer's How. " It is believed
that the men will face their fate with forti
tude , most If not all of them being inspired
with the idea that they are heroes and mar
tyrs and that they are dying for the benetit
of mankind. From now until after the
execution the jail will bo strongly
guarded , both Inside and out , and
special watch will bo kept on
anarchists In the city , and any attempt at
violence will bo promptly checked. The
sheriff will bo extremely carnful about ad
mitting persons to witness the hanging , and
it Is understood that none will be admitted
except public officials and representatives of
newspapers. There will not bo , as there has
been in the past at executions In Cook
county , a mob of politicians and their strikers
ivho seldom conduct themselves with the
itocency and decorum bollttlnc an occasion
both sad and solemn. It is not believed that
more than 100 persons will bo admitted to
the jail on that day and tlioso will have to be
vouched for by some responsible partv. The
final preparations will not be benn until
about November 1. So far none of the con
demned have asked tor a clergyman ,
and It Is believed that as they are
free thinkers , they will not do so. The
speeches from the gallows will necessarily
be limited , but U is expected that allot the
condemned will have something to say. The
death watch has already been doubled and
wlille the friends of the prisoners naturally
hope lor the interference of the United
States supreme court or for executive
clemency , the general opinion is that they
will have to die on November 11. All of
them weio visited by their relatives between
tlm hours of Hand 10 o'clock this morning.
It was stated that Parsons was not averse to
being Interviewed on his views as to the tin-
justness of the decision , but all attempts to
draw him out on the topic proved futile. Ho
would not talk on the matter , and with a
violent motion of his hands , said In a volco
In which rage and impatience were strongly
blended : " 1 don't know anything about it. "
Nina Van Zandt came to behold Spies.
The customary neatness and quiet demeanor
marked her bearing. She showed manifold
signs of grief and during her half hour's con
versation with August was manifestly using
all the will power she is so strongly possessed
of to pi event an outbreak of tears' . She was
dejected and a certain hauteur of carriage
that has been apparent was wanting this
morning/ Spies has lost none of the heroic ,
bearing that is so familiar to his admirers.
Ho chatted and spoke with all who approached
preached him with the easy nonchalance of a
captive on the eve of liberation rathpr than
ono on the threshold of the grave. Most of
ills hour for exercise was given to his Nina ;
Mrs. Parsons sat at the upper end of the
cage holding a low conversation with
tier husband. She is , as everyone
knows , a woman possessed of rare
fortitude and none could guess from her
composed bearing that she was Buffering In
the least Fielden was not without his good
anizel. Ills wife , accompanied by his two
children , came to offer such comfort as
would bo acceptable In such an hour. Num
erous offerings of fruit were brought and dur
ing the earlv hours , when low people were
astir , a couple ot ladles handed In some bas
kets of luscious peaches for the special de
lectation ot the doomed men. None but the
relatives ot the prisoners and a few reporters
were there to witness the salutations and
Ittavo-taklngs of the party. The chief jailor
rapped his keys sharply an the iron bars as a
signal for a general clearance of the cage
and the visitors loft , while the anarchists re
turned once more to the gloomy solitude of
their dungeons.
The Staats Zeltung , which has hitherto
been In favor of the execution of the anarch
ists , comes out this morning In an editorial
supporting a commutation of sentence. The
defense committee are putting forth every
effort to raisn sufficient money to carry the
case to the supreme court of the United
States if it can be done. It Is understood
they have hopes of getting General Butler to
take the case , and falling to secure him , will
try for Kogor A. Pryor. George O. Schilling ,
the socialist leader , left for the east to-night
to retain ono or the other of them. He would
not admit who he was going to see , but It Is
well known they are very desirous of getting
Butler. Lawyers here say that the chance of
the court of last resort taking the case Is very
slim Indeed.
Trylne to Retain Butler and Pryor.
WASHINGTON' , Stpt. 15. [ Special Tele
gram to the BEK. ] It is published here that
General lloger A. Prjor and Bon Butler will
join with the present counsel for the an
archists In presenting the case to the su
preme court at Its meeting next month. The
court , however , can only determine ono fact
whether the prisoners wore condemned
after duo process of law. Its jurisdiction
ends there. On all questions o ! erroneous
admission of evidence , improper charges to
the jurv. and similar points , the decision of
the Illinois court Is final. It seems probable
that tlie case can bo brought before the su
preme court In case a writ of error can be ob
tained from the supreme court of the stute.
To obtain this the supreme court of the state
must be convinced that thuro is a federal
question Involved.
History oftho Anarchist Cane.
CHICAGO , Sept. 15. The meeting on the
old Haymarketon Dosplalnes street where
the fatal bomb was thrown was the dliect out
come ef the deplorable labor troubles of 1BSO.
Seven police officers were killed by the death-
dealing missile and sixty more men were
wounded , a large number of people who
were In attendance on the meeting wore
killed and wounded by the return fire from
the policemen's revolvers. The affair was
doubtless precipitated by the riots on the
Black Koad on the precenlne day , where
several men had been killed or wounded by
the police. The Anarchists called the Hay-
market meeting to give expression to their
Indignation at the police because the latter
tried to perform their duty , and while they
were being harangued by incendiary speakers
a force of 200 police marched up under Cap
tain lionlield , who ordered the meeting to
disperse. Before a reply could bo received
the fatal bomb was thrown. Officer
Matthias Degan was killed outright ,
and Officers Michael Sheehan , John P. liar-
re tt. Thomas Itedden , Nols Hanson and
Timothy Flavin died soon atterwant trom
the effects of their wounds. Others of the
officers were fdarfully wounded or maimed tor
life , but they managed to pull through and
some of them have returned to their posts of
duty. The subsequent raids of the police on
the anarchists'dens , the temporary suppris-
slon ot their organ , the Arbclter Keltung ,
and the wholesale arrest of every person who
wa ? known even tobo a sympathizer with the
"Ueds" are now matters of history. In these
raids an Immense quantity of dynamite and
a largo number ot pistols and guns were cap
tured , as well a ; nearly all tUelr emblem ;
and flags. Among those arrested were A. It
Parsons , August Spies , Louis Llnpg , Michael
Schwab , Samuel Fielden , ( Icoreu Knelo ,
Adolph Fischer and George Ncebo. and these
eight were subsequently Indicted for mur
der. On June 89 , when tholr oases were
called for trial before Judxo Gary , to whom
tlior had taken a change of venue from
Judge Kogers , their counsel made an appli
cation for a separate trial for each man , and
this being denied the trial oftho uUht to
gether was Immedlatly begun. The selection
of a jury was a long and trying operation ,
and resulted In thn selection of thu follow
ing : James F. Cole , F. K. Osborno , S. G.
Handall , A. II. Keed , J. 11. Brayton , A.
Hamilton. O. W. Adams , J. B. Grclnor , C.
B. Todd , C. A. Ludwtg , T. E. Denkor , and
11. T. Danford. The trial lasted just two
months. A vast amount of evidence was In-
tcoducnd bv the state to prove tlmt a con
spiracy , led by the eight prisoners to throw
the Haymarket bomb hau existed. The ver
dict Is well known. All but Nocbo wore sen
tenced to death , and ho was sentenced to a
term of fifteen years In I ho penitentiary.
December i ! was the date llxed for the execu
tion of the seven men , but on Thanksgiving
day they were given a respite by Chief Jus
tice Scott of the supreme court , who granted
a suporscdeas In their ca.se totato : time to ex
amine the motion tor a nmv trial. The con
viction of the anarchists was due to the Inde
fatigable work of State's Attorney Grlnnoll ,
Captain Schaak , Captain Bon Held and a few
detectives , who labored earnestly to gather in
every bit of evidence they could find against
the men. The real bomb thrower , Rudolph
Schnaubelt , was in the custody of the detec
tives at the cential police station once shortly
after the affair on the llavmarkot , but he was
let go through the stupidity of Lieutenants
Shea and Klploy , who at that time were the
chiefs of the department Detective Palmer
arrested Schnaubelt. Ho had positive Information
mation connecting him with the crime , but
for some reason that has never been satisfac
torily explained Shea and Klpley let Schnau
belt go. Twenty-four hours later they would
have given everything they owned to have
Schnaubelt once more In their custody , but
the wily bomb thrower had Impioved his llb
ertv by finding a safe hiding place , which has
never yet been discovered. He mansgod to
get out ot the city , and the lust time he was
heard of ho was somewhere in northern Mex
ico.
ico.Wlilte a stay of proceedings was granted by
Justleu Scott , of the supreme court , In No
vember , the appeal was not argued before the
court until March 17 last. The arguments for
the defense were made bv Captain W. P.
Black , Slgmund Jelsslor , and Leonard Swett ,
whllo Guorgo C. Ingham , Attorney-General
Hunt and State's Attorney Grinnoll appeared
for the mate. Thebilufs on both slues were
filed before the arguments were begun , as
was also the complete record of the trial. The
court arrived atadecision three days after the
arguments were iiiiule , and It fell to .lustIce
Magnuler's lot to wrlto an opinion to con
form with the verdict. It l.s no secret among
his trlends that the judge disliked the task ,
but there was no help for It , and ho had to
perform It.
General Butlur Undecided.
BOSTON , Sept. 15. In connection with the
report that he would champion the cause of
the anarchists in Chicago , General Butler
said that ho did not see anvthlng so far to
warrant his taking active stops in tholr be
half. Ho had not. however , completed the
examination sufficiently to definitely refuse.

LONDON , Sept15. . [ New Vork Herald
Cable-Special to the BKK.J At the Victoria
hotel this morning , justbotoro hU taking the
train for Southampton to join the Saalo for
, Ncw York , I said bon voyage to Mr.
Spreckeli , known -Europe as the Sugar
King , a well preserved man with snowy hair.
" 1 can glvo you no views on Hawaiian
affairs , " he said. Bather you can
give them to tno. 1 left the states last May
and have been on the continent , engaged
ever since with sugar problems. Will 1 tell
the Herald about these ? With pleasure , but
I am sorry to have so little time in which to
talk. My travel in Europe has been anything
but pleasing. It was only hard work from
morning till night I find Germany at
present the greatest beet sugar country the
world over saw , There Is some marvelous
machinery used for making boot sugar. I
have boueht 0)0,000 marks worth ol the prin
cipal parts of that machinery In Cologne and
Prague for the purpose of establish
ing a beet sugar factory In Cal-
fornla , but the minor parts of
the machinery I can get made In the United
states. 1 am convinced that beet sugar mak
ing with my now machinery will create ono
ot the greatest Industries the United States
ever had. I shall never rust until I have
made the United States the greatest beet
sugar producer , manufacturer and market in
thn world. Yes , above Germany or France. It
is true that at the present tlmo Germany
exports u,0&0tons _ of heet sugar annually ,
and consumes herself another 40,000 tons.
If It were not for growing sugar beets the
German farmers would go to the wall as cer
tainly as the Kngllsh farmers have done.
Many practical tanners I met in Germany
told me that If were not for the boot growing
they would suffer. All seemed to feel that
their country could not compete with tbo
United States If we adopted tholr now ma
chinery. "
"How about France1
"Oh , I found the factories far behind these
In Germany. I saw not the slightest Im
provement worth adopting there , but VI am
taking back a pile of French specifications to
study still more. My new factory In Cali
fornia will bo built to use 350 tons of beets
every twenty-four hours , which will make
about forty tons of sugar per day. The exact
spot for its location 1 have not yet settled
upon , but will do so as soon as 1 got back
homo. I have also bought twenty-five ton ;
of beet seed , which will leave
Germany In December for New York , then
by rail to San Francisco but , " taking enl
his watch , "time wanes and the train soon
leaves. When will what I have said bo It
the Herald , day otter to-morrow ? "
"No ; it will bo cabled to-nichtand the New
Yorkers will road it before vou are out ol
sight of the Kngllsh coast. " Ho accepted t
fresh bon voyage , looking pleasingly puzzlet
at such rapidity In news gathering.
