My accounts to-day from sure sources confirm everything sent you In previous dis. patches. There Is nnd there can be no greater change for the better in the prince's condi tion. All the medical aid under the sun can do little for him nt present. It is very doubt ful whether he will submit to the operation which the doctors nro talking of. His cheer fulness Is marvellous. To these who do not know his Immense force of charac ter , . his iron will , his complete resignation to the fnto which ho has long seen Impending , would have been taken by surprise by the announcement of cancer , but the sufferer has nothing which ho did not suspect before. It Is to bo ro- grcttcd that some purveyors of news cannot imitate the self-command of the crown princo. In Blowitz's dispatch stating that the kaiser had fainted and announcing his Rpccdy demise , together with that of the cm- press nnd crown prince , nnd making as clean 0 sweep of the stage as occurs in the last act of "Hamlet , " deserves to bo ranked ns the wildest concoction ever sent to n great news paper. Even the Times itself allowed Its Berlin correspondent on Friday to utter bitter sarcasm on M. Blowitz's feverish romance. It has given great offence in high quarters , both hero and in Ger many. M. Blowitz should bo warned that ho often goes dangerously near making the Times' Paris correspondent the ridicule of Europe , and If ho is now going to lose his head altogether , whenever something unexpected happens , he will bo regarded us n nuisance to bo peremptorily suppressed. Even the crown prince's condition is not as Immediately important from a public point of View ns the tremendous slap in the face which Bismarck has delivered to Russia in ordering the Imperial bank of Germany to refuse to negotiate any moro Uussian securities. What B moment to choose for such a hostile demon stration Just as the war is coming to Berlin. Lord Salisbury's confident predictions as tc the continued muintcnunco of the peace of Europe might soon bo falsified if the czar only felt himself strong enough to encounter the new triple alliance. Ho will have to bcui what ho cannot resent. But an additional element of disturbance has been added to the many others accumulat ing In Europe. If Kussla nnd Franco could get up nn alliance similar to the ono existing between Germany , Austria and Italy , Lord Salisbury's reputation as a herald of peace would probably soon receive a fatal blow , The czar will merely bldo his time. In regard to English politics it may bo posl lively stated , notwithstanding all rumors U the contrary , that Lord Salisbury has re > solved to go on with his team , which hni great merit , being entirely under his control vllis nephew , Mr. Balfour , is to bo pushct forward as much as possible and made tin leader of the house of commons , tcmporaril : as n warming pan. It is true tha Mr. Bulfour has never shown mucl brilliancy In the house or clscwhero , but hi is a nephew of "my uncle , " nnd therefore ht Is marked out for first placo. Obsorvo'thcn that ministerial journals will henceforth losi no opportunity of extolling the firmness courage and genius of the Irish secretary his wonderful successes in Ireland , and hii great superiority to the poor creatures tossei by fatfl into the tory party , and thattho province inco that made Mr. Balfour to lead the hous of commons will bo proved twice or thric * every twenty-four hours by journalists wh derive their inspiration from his uncle' houso. All very pretty , indeed but there nro three men outsid the ministry that have ten times moro pop ularlty than the whole of the men in it Lori Hartington , Lord Randolph Churchill am Mr. Chamberlain. It is safe to assume- thai the public will bo willing to see these grca leaders deliberately set outsldo in order tha mediocrity may bo put In the highest places Perhaps , but Lord Salisbury is above publi wishes as the monarch of old is nbovo gram mar. Ho would say ditto to the Into Mr Vundcrbllton that point. To have a comfort able ministry which would not expos or contradict you thoroughly docile tractable and obsequious , ministers wai 'ranted never to have an opinion of tholr ow Until ono is found for them such is the amb ( tlon of the modern prime minister. Men e great originality and Intellectual power lib f Churchill and Hartington nro apt to hay views of tholr own and oven bo capable of di rising a policy. They are very unpleasai . wen to work with when all you want automation , A cabinet composed of the roll tlons of these who liavu been useful and sul icrvicnt to relations is the only ono worth straw. Ono of the family is your best an truest ally. Has Mr. Grovy found It so ) hould say , then , that the next session wi begin as last with a strong outsk ! ministry and weak ones Inside. How the ai rangcmcnt will work remains to bo seen. Ai surcdly the Glad&tonlans and ParncHiK ' have no great reasou to bo dissatisfied wit It , To leave politics lot mo mention as nn carl piece of news that Mr. Bancroft nnd his wil will shortly publish recollections of the thirty years * experience upon the stage. Th , will bo ono of the most Interesting theatric % works which have over seen the light , for t ! the Bancrofts have known everybody wcrl ynowloj and their anecdotes of other acloi t nd authors , as well as celebrated pcoji V ln social life , nro innumerable. M\j < Information , .Will bo given Torn Robertson ; author cf who had a very had struggle for many years and died as soon ns ho began to tnsto the sweets of pros | > crity. The changes that have taken place In the stage management of theatrical llfo generally , also supply ma terials for most interesting chapters. Tlicso memoirs , which you must not look for till the beginning of the next year. M. Nerestchagln will soon take his collec tion of pictures to Paris. In splto of the ad verse tone of many papers and the malice of some artists the paintings have made n great Impression on the public mind and nro admitted to be quite unappreciated. For fidelity of nature and a wlerd kind of power Vcrcstchngln is a remarkable man and has chosen his own line as an artist. I under stand his pictures found a temporary homo In the Rosvenor gallery nt the simple request of the Prince of Wales , who first saw the collection at Copenhagen , and was so much struck with It that ho advised Vcrcstchagla to bring it to England. Lord Randolph Churchill has gone to-day on a visit to Lord Hartington. at Hardwlck Hall , In Derbyshire. A MBMiir.n OB PAHUAMCXT. THE BERLIN BUDGET. An Anxious , AVcary.some Week For the Whole German Umpire. [ Cnwriulit ISffi biiJtimr * Gordon Uemictt.1 BEKUN , Nov. 12. [ New York Herald Cable Special to the Bur. . ] This has been nn anxious , wcarysomo week for the whole German empire , especially so for Prussia. There was nn uncxplnlnablo superstitious be- lef amongst Germans high and low that the rowu prince would die before the kaiser had n any way prepared the nation for the worst lews from the crown princo. But very few txpectcd that bad news would come this wln- er , and still fewer anticipated serious effects rom the prince's illness on the emperor and empress. In Berlin and elsewhere hroughout Germany nothing has been alked of except the crown prince , and many complications nro resulting from his illness , ivcn the bourse panics have been less felt .linn has the anxiety for the prince. In Bcr- in it is now strongly felt that the crown wince's death , If it occurs , would bo quickly 'ollowcd by those of the kaiser nnd kniserin , while war might follow almost before Prince William was firmly seated on the imperial hronc. Three deaths and war are not en couraging prospects , yet this is what the av erage Berliner expects from day to day and t would not bo easy to shako their gloomy 'alth. The crown princess receives any imount of rough-tongucd abuse , which is not .o the credit of German politeness. It has become an article of faith , oven in good soci ety circles , that the princess' self-willed bo- lef in English doctors and in her own ability 0 select methods and places for the princo's cure nro Inrgely responsible for what has oc curred to the prince. It Is hard and unfair udgment which lias thus been given , but one lot apt to bo changed very quickly. Aside from the crown prince , there nro snly n few items of general interest. Prof. Seeker's painting , bought recently by the Corcoran art gallery at Washington for 10,000 marks , was shipped this week from Bremen. The picture is a largo canvass , about seven 'cet long , with a dozen or inoro fig ures. Pope Julius H sits scanning the Just recovered Apollo Belvidcrc. Near film nro cardinals and priests , to ono side Raphall , In the back ground Michgcl Angelo and near Vittoria Colonu , the latter the best painted head of them all. n the foreground stands the statute painting negotiated for by Dr. Welling , of the Cor coran nrt gallery , bought by cable last month. It goes to join a good deal of Prof. Beck's earlier works in America. Ono notable : > icturo of his is in the Stewart collection. American ( check ) recently got thebctterol some of the lackeys of cffeto European despotisms. A highly respectable , well-to- do resident of Brooklyn Is in Berlin sight seeing. The crown princo's palace stimuli his fancy and accordingly ho started to ceo as much of it as might be. The palace is not open to the public , so ho was stopped by 11 servant "but , " said ho to the haughti flunky , "I urn a friend of Queen Vletorhi and was assured by her majisty that hei daughter's palace would bo shown us even ii : their absence. " For various reasons the crown prince's mother-in-law is looked uj to with some awe in the pnlueo , so flunky No 1 shut up like n Jnckknifo and humbly wuivci the party on to his comrades , where th < same tale was told with the sumo effect. As the Brooklynltcs wandered through tin palace the servant with extreme politcnesi assured them that the palace was dismantlcc nnd owing to the princo's absence ho wni therefore not to bo seen. Meanwhile , b ; keeping their eyes open the party had seei pretty much nil they wished and were read ; to retreat in good order. Consul General Rains has returned fron inspecting the Berlin consular district am finds n very noticeable improvement in tin service , a previous inspection effort bcini made by him to get out a set of standard in voice blanks which shall do away with th < present discordant system of allowing cacl consul to print these blanks according to hi own ideas. Miss Alice Whltacro was exceedingly we ] received last night at the singing academi concert under Jounchlm's leadership. A Berlin audiences are notoriously critical o foreign singers , tin American's success is tvl thn moro noteworthy. The lovely channel In the Rhino Is bcin cleared and deepened with dynamite , to th destruction of poetry and the salvation o ships. The official statement that the crow prince ceitainly has a cancer has bee nwaltcd for forty-eight hours , but novrrthc less creates the greatest sensation in Bcrll and will bo n severe shook to the rest of th empire since yesterday's favorable nowsmli lead the great mass of people. Bismarck' ' return to Berlin will probably be followc later In the week by a council of these wh control state policy in order to make such ni rangcments as the emperor's ago nnd h : successor's illness render ncccssarj All the reports regarding the en peror's bodily prostration nro invented an grossly exaggerated. The bad news rcgardin the crown prince has been n great nienti strain for such an aged man , but so fr fortunately without effect on his gcnen health. Parliamentary leaders , statesmc nnd generals were warned yesterday of tli princo's condition and have begun to npjic : in Berlin in order to bo ready for impoitai decisions of state affairs which must bo mac1 soon. It is regarded as curious hero that tl crown princo's tendency toward cancc which will probably place nn enemy < France on the throne , Is Inherited fro ; Queen Louisa , whoso early death indirect ! from polypus growth near the heart WE caused , It was thought , by the anxieties an hardships of the Napoleon wars. Yesterday the American colony met ni tl legation and decided to celebrate Thanksgl ing by it dinner and ball. Minister Pendlctc will preside , For these who object to wii nnd dancing n second dinner will bo given I Dr. Stuckenborg in the American chapel. . . Mrs , Cleveland , who became Interested .the Antudvun cbapcl whUo to Berlin thn years ago , has consented to receive subscrip tion for the erection of n new church here. TUB FlinXCll HCANDAIj.

Havre ) , Nov. 12. fNcw York Herald Cable Special to thoBnr. . ] Great agitation continues on the boulevards at the chambers. The political atmosphere is charged with electricity and public Indigna tion is fanned Into n flame by n perfect maze of Intrigues. Scandals , falsehoods and frauds must soon like a thunderbolt find vent some where nnd precipitate n crisis. Just ns the Caffurcl trial , so Is now the Wilson Inquiry developing Into n public Impeachment of Grovy. Parisians nnd the swnrms of pchits crovcs of the boulevards are nlready snarl ing , growling nnd snapping their teeth at the president of the republic. At nil the street corners nro dlsplnyed hundreds of caricatures , depicting In rain bow hues M. Grovy , M. Wilson and the interior of the Elysco palace , transformed Into n broker's shop for nn instant. Lo Pilorl , a sort of wild cat or illustrated paper published at Mont Martre , publishes nn enormous cartoon entitled "Chasses du Paradls. " It represents God standing on the steps of paradise , brandishing In his hand n drawn sword , on the blade of which Is In scribed "France. " Paradlso is labelled "Elysco Palace" nnd bounding down the steps , playing before the drawn sword of the iVlmlghty , nro two lugubrious robbers , In tended to represent M. Grevy nnd M. Wilson. Jencath this cartoon is printed in flaming etters the second verso of the third chapter t the Book of Genesis. "And the woman said unto the serpent , 'Wo ' may cat of the fruit of the trees of the jardcn.1" Other caricatures and lampoons displayed iy every illustrated newspaper in Paris nro lither too blasphemous or too indecent to de- cribe. The situation is getting worse nnd ivorso. M. Grevy has announced in unmis- .aknblo language to his political friends that 10 will not think of resigning until Wilson : ms been actually tried before a tribunal and Ills guilt clearly established. Then nnd then nly will ho retire. M. Grevy's friends mean while remain silent , but their enemies breathe "orth smoke nnd lire. To-day M. Paul dc Cassngnar writes in Antoritc : "Austere nnd rlgidGrovy scatters o the winds nil the traditions of the republics of antiquity. Ho forgets VIrginius , who slew his only daughter because she had been dishonored. Ho forgets Manlius Forqimtus , who killed his own son for disobeying orders. Instead of 'ollowlng the precept of the Roman republic , jrovy lavishes pardon nnd indulgence , nnd actually covers with his presidential clot. * the dishonored son-in-law , who committed rob bery to the benefit of Grevy's own family. So Grevy will remain president if for no other object than at least to bo able to pardon iVilson in case the tribunals of Franco con vict him of felony. " For the moment chaos seems to have seized upon the administrative authority of the country. A parliamentary inquiry is going on trying some of the persons accused. The perfect of police conducts still a third investi gation nnd ho himself is pursued by each of ho others , nnd in the midst of all this Boul- nngcr emerges from nrrest nnd will coino prancing on the stage in the midst of the gen eral convulsion.

I was standing on the platform of the station when ho arrived with his mother , the crown princess , his sister , Count Sceekcndoff nnd two German doctors. The future emperor is n hard-featured , manly but unsympathetic young man of middle hclghth , clean shaven , long tawny moustache , hnwty and rather for bidding. Ho studiously acknowledged the courtesy of the Italian officials who had turned out to meet him nnd confined his civility to his fellow-countrymen , who stood bowing nnd scraping in the waiting room. The prince were a brown tourist suit. I noticed that his right car was stuffed with cotton. The crown princess looked sunburnt and healthy. She were a dark blue woolen costume nnd blue straw hat. The prince kept the train waiting some time while ho chatted with his family.

"Oh , Albert , Albert , they hnvo iiiunlercd you I" crlcil Mrs. Pur- sons , when she was permitted to sco the fucc of her husband for the llrst time this morn ing. At Pursons' house , when his body was brought In , Mrs. Parsons acted very wildly , and when the cover was lifted from the coftln she rushed In nnd threw herself bodily upon the cofllu and then fell In u faint upon the floor before her friends could catch her. As soon as Mrs. Parsons had recovered sufll- clcntly to walk she ran again to her dead , crying and calling his name. She again fainted before her lips touched the face of her husband. This time friemts carried her awuy and would not let her sco the coruso again. At the homo of George Engel thcrohas been n solemn throng passing in nnd out since morning. The door of the llttlo elgar store which Mrs. Engel has managed since the arrest of her husband , was draped in mourning. In the back room lay the bodies of Lings ; nnd Engel. The haggard face of Mrs. Engel as she passed through the room frequently was pitiful. The bodies of Engel nnd Lingg were In their cofllns nnd no ono was permitted to take more than ono look as ho passed along. That portion of Lingg's face which was shattered by the fulminating cartridge had been lllled up with chemicals und plaster of paris. A bandage hid the wound from gare , otherwise the face was well pro- served. In the frown on his brow there was a trace of awful determination which must have nerved the bomb maker to put the candle in his mouth. The duel gleam of that glaring cyo was still perceived be tween the half parted eyelids. Engcl's face was as calm and indifferent as when ho stood on the scaffold yesterday. Hardly ono out of twenty who went into Engcl's ' store to view the remains spoke their minds in En glish. At 10 o'clock the casket containg the body of Fischer was taken to the homo of his wife. Around the house was a great crowd of women nnd children. Mrs. Fischer was at the house of ono of the neighbors when the body of her husband arrived , but as soon as it was carried into the house she was escorted there by two fcmnlo friends. She was suf fering greatly , and her actions were some what hysterical. She stopped occasionally and throw her arms around ono or the other of her friends and wept bitterly. The doors and windows of Chris Spies' house , where the body of the dead anarchist lies , wcro barred and would not bo opened to anyone. Long strips of white and blaek crane swung from the door bell. At the top of the symbols of mourning was a largo black rose , also made of crape , from the middle of which streamerH of red ribbon fluttered. From the moment the dead body arrived , the house has been surrounded by crowds of inquisitive spectators who wcro anxious to got a look at the dead man's face. No body was gratified. Taken to Jollet. CIUCAOO , Nov. 13. At 1.03 p. m. to-day a train on the Chicago & Alton railroad bear ing away Fieldcn and Schwab to prison at Jollct left the union depot. Some of Flelden'a friends wcro at the dcpot to see him off. Mrs. Schwab , together with lit.- : two chil dren nnd Mrs. Sehnaubclt , came about 9 o'clock , and Flelden and Schwab wcro released from their cells. Schwab brought down a stool and conversed with his wife and mother for nearly two hours , separated by iron bars and a wire netting. Mrs. Schwab was clad in mourning , in mem ory , perhaps , of the previous day's event. Before parting Schwab fondly kissed his children many times and hugged themand retired to his cell. Mrs. Schwab left weep ing. At 10 o'clock Mrs. Fieldcn came in with a baby in her arms and accompanied by her little girl , and also n neighbor. Mrs. Fielden cried a great deal while talking with her husband. About 11:45 : they parted with their wives nnd were then taken into the jail office where J. A. Foster , one of their counsel in the trial , talked to them and bid them good byo. Schwab told Foster that ho regretted the death of Spies very much and wished that his life had been spared. Ten minutes after twelve Fielden nnd Schwab were handcuffed together nnd also u pair of old rusty leg irons were put on them , locking them together. Both requested that their clothing and papers bo sent to their wives , which they were told would bo done. The men then made their way awkwardly down the steps into the jail court , their walking being very much impeded by leg irons. They took a hack , in which wcro dep uties , nnd were driven to the station. JOI.IET , 111. , Nov. 13. The train reached Jollet nt 2:1)0 : ) and the convicted anarchists were marched up the graveled road to the penitentiary. Immediately after their ar rival therein , Ucv. Mr. Walter , prison chap lain approached them und endeavored to learr , their particular religious creeds , Neither of the men seemed tc receive the revcrond gentleman will any degree of friendship and answered him in n nonchalant manner.
