AH Been Across the Clinnnel.
LONDON. April 13. [ Special Cablegram to
the HER. ] There Is still nothing hut Hou-
lander nnd Hlsmarck lu the Ktiropenn papers.
Reports from the department of Nerd show
that the electoral campaign thcrchns reached
'
lever hcnt. Meetings are being held every
where , nnd thoy-nro generally attended by ,
scenes of excitement nnd turbulence- with nt
vast amount of uolse , the flinging of the ,
"Uevcnant Hovuo" nnd wild interruptions.
The current seems to bo running steadily in
the direction of Uoulnnger. The bulk of his
vote will bo cast by the Honnpartlsts , who of
"themselves are in n majority in the depart
ment. Ho Is also supported by the radicals
ns n body nnd by a certain section of the
socialists. The opposition to him has crys
tal izcd around what Is known as the
opportunists , but probably contains n good
many legitimist Oricanlsts , In odd conJunction -
. Junction with the larger and ultra wing of
the anarchists.
Every Houlangist speech Is made up of
equal parts of eulogy of Uoulangor nnd at
tacks on Jules Ferry. Thcso latter never
fall to bo received with deafening yells of
A Has lo Tonklnois. " A study of these
speeches nnd the popular Interjections help
to solve the problem why Uoulangor is so
much stronger In rural Prauco than in Paris.
The country is deeply Interested In the
nrmy , which annually drains off the pick of
Its sons , nnd hates Jules Perry because ho
sent'thcso sons to dlo and suffer In Asia ,
while It loves UoulanRcr because ho , as
minister of war , tried to make their military
services moro comfortable. Busy , volatile
Paris docs not especially miss these of Its
children who nro drafted off into the ranks ,
or pay special heed to them when they
return. But It Is different In the villages
nnd on the farms.
Nothing Is talked of in French political
circles but Sunday's election and what will
follow its expected result. There arc all
norts of rumors of Botilanger's intentions.
The most circumstantial is ho will take his
place iu the chamber , make a speech de
manding the dissolution of the chamber nnd
a revision of the constitution , and then resign
nnd stand for the next vacancy , repeating
these tactics till the dissolution is forced ,
when ho will run in every department pnd
secure the popular voto. Already in various
departments 230,000 votes have been cast for
him. The department of Nerd ; will raise
this to nearly 400,000. All this lias suddenly
bccomo gravely ominous for the republic.
Bismarck has not won his fight. This is
evident from the fact that ho gives no word
Of rebuke to his infatuated partisans of
Brcstnn , Lcipsig nnOJpresden who arc holdIng -
Ing nicotines and circulating petitions
asking the kaiser on no occasion
to lose the services of the chan-
cllor. Such an agitation is unworthy
of the great man , as it is unneard of in a
monarchical country. It is noteworthy that
the national liberal party is foremost in this
undignified work.
There nro no trustworthy accounts of the
progress of- the dispute inside the palace of
Phnrlottcnburg , but there is n growing be
lief that Bismarck will got the worst of the
contest , and a woll-dcilned rumor that Prince
Hohcnloho Stradtheldcr of Alsace-Lorraine ,
lias been offered the post of chancellor in
succession to him. There are numerous
signs also going to confirm the existence of a
tedious political divergence between the
kaiser and the chancellor.
The count of Paris was in London to-day.
I understand that there is going to bo a
family conclave of the Orleans family at
Sheen house , Twickenham , on Sunday , to
settle the attitudes of the princes toward
Boulangcr , and 1 am informed that It will bo
attended by n man who has close relations
with Boulanger nnd is in his confidence.

HUIIUN , April 13 , [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to the Ur.K.l I am informed
by an entirely trustworthy person , who has
just had n long conversation with Sir Morell
Mackenzie that the ' favorite
, emperor's phy
sician talked freely and hopefully about his
patient. What ho said is about ns follows :
"Notwithstanding all that has been said ,
there is no certainty that the disease is cancer ,
nnd it Is almost certain the emperor will live
longer than is generally thought possible.
prof , Waldoycr , it is true , declared the dis
ease to bo cancer , but In his microscopic ox-
nmlnation ho found nothing moro than Vir-
chow found , and VIrchow decided ngninst the
cancer theory. When Virchow and Wuldo-
yer disagree the rest of us have n right to
USD our own Judgment. I , for my part , have

ccr. Those who most Urmly maintain the
cancer theory nro surgeon's like Prof. Ucrg-
nj'U ' ! , without special skill or experience In
throat diseases , and who have for the most
part earned their reputation on the
battlefield , whcro there is little chance
of obtaining skill in treating the throat.
As opposed to current opinion ,
one of the greatest authorities on the throat
recently carefully examined my patient and
declared ho cannot find a trace of cancer. If
the disease is not cancer , howovcr , It cannot
bo taken for granted that the clangor is past.
It Is imposslblo to state how long his majesty
can Hvo. Wo know that there is not the
slightest trace of disease below the Incision
In the throat. If the emperor could have ro-
mnined In San Koino ho would now , in all
probability , bo far advanced toward recov
ery. His strength , ns It is , ho weakened by
lack of fresh nlr. The orangery In which ho
got his only exercise during the cold weather
is a sunless apology for conservatory aivj.
lighted only from one siMj. Nevertheless , I

Inaln In Berlin only by the ouiiwor's special
request because , like mnny other pa
tients , ho learned to trust ono puysl-
ciau and is reassured by his pres
ence. For this reason I shall re
turn to him after my trip to
London , As I shall coiuo back whether my
patient is hotter or worse , you need not ex
pect him worse simply because I do return.
There is no truth. is the stories regarding
periodicity m this throat trouble. There are
tips and downs of course , as with all patients ,
but it passes human skill to predict cither.
The emperor eats solid food m the ordinary
Way , and docs not , as the newspapers seem
to think , depend cither upon liquids or upon
llnoly chopped up solid.
The Bubstanco of the above can absolutely

under the circumstances , tjuarautoo that Sir
Llorrt'U'a exact words are used. The revul

tribute to him as a man and ns n specialist ,

liquidator of Oillig's American exchange by
Justice Stirling , of the high court Judiciary.
Affidavits disclosed that its business con
sisted of three branches 1 , a banking busi

In connection with the first branch letters of
credit were still in circulation nnd
though it is not proposed to issue
more , it is necessary some ono should
look after the drafts now coming in nnd also
to deep the reading rooms open for n time because -
cause of the inconvenience to customers if
they could not got letters which were being
forwarded to them at the rooms. It is like
wise requisite to keep the storage odlco open
until the articles stored therein had been ap
plied for. It is timely , perhaps , to odd that a
great opportunity exists for such an institu
tion in London , conducted by a reputable
person for the benefit of tourists and not for
his own. Ono such ought to bring n good
profit The liquidating exchange was founded
upon a prior one , which disastrously failed

liberal club to-day , Uight-IIon. .1 nines Stans-
iicld presiding , it was resolved to urge the
government to extend debate iu the commons
on the local government bill.
John Merlin undertook to move the reso
lution in the house. All the speakers ex
pressed the opinion that the feeling
was growing , especially In the rural
districts , that the bill was n sham and
a rank lory measure , and that its apparent
democratic character was the veneering
which at first deceived the eye.
Prof. Stewart said the fiv.it that the bill
omitted to deal with out door chlofs while It
proposed compensation of publicans , was
sufficient to warrant n strontr cppOoition to
its adoption. A committee was appointed to
arrange for concerted action by the liberal

party in opposition to the bill.

In speaking of the "Indopon'dont In politics"
it Is my intention to treat tlio' subject In Its
general rather thun special application. If
ono would know the dlffcrenca between the
statesman and the politician let him corapnro
Burko's vldw of the American- troubles with
those of Dr. Johnson. Never did two men
show more clearly the quality of tnio states
manship than Senators Fessondon and
Truuibull , when they dared to net uidej > cn-
dently of party in the impeachment coses.
against President Johnson. They saved us
from tiio creeping paralysis which is
gradually benumbing the political energies
of Franco , lu our early days wo produced
statesmen not endowed with Uurko'a genius ,
but comparable with him in breadth of view
nnd perhaps his superiors in practical
sagacity. 1 bellovo there Is ns much Of the
raw material of statesmanship among us as
over. If the parties will not look nftcr their
own drainage there must bo somebody who
will do It for them. This duty can bo done
only by men who have deserted from the In
terests of the party.
The independents hnvo undertaken it , and
with God's help they will carry it through.
A moral purpose multiplies us by ten , ns it
multiplied the early abolitionists. They
emancipated the negro , nnd wo mean to
emancipate the respectable white men. I am
struck with the fact that wliilo wo produce
great captains nnd political managers , there
Bcems to bo n pause in the production of the
leader of statesmanship. I am thankful to
have been neon temporary of one. and among
the greatest , wnom posterity wlH recognize
ns the wisest and most bravely human of
modern times Abraham Lincoln. What will
bo of immediate advantage to the
party is the llrst thing considered ;
what of permanent advantage to the
country the last. Both parties have
been equally cuilty , both have evaded the
living questions of the day. Parties being
necessary , there must be politicians to repre
sent them. There should bo n neutral body
largo enough to moderate between both , and
to make both marts cautious in their choice of
candidates.
If wo have not got nil that wo hoped from
the present administration wo have got more
than wo expected. Wo have compelled a
discussion of the question , aud have so much
faitli In the good sense of the American people
ple as to feel sure that the discussion moans
victory.
Two grcatqucstions hnvo boon opened anew
by the president which really resolve them
selves into ono that of the war tariff. I
say of the war tariff , because it is a more
electioneering device to call it n question of
protection or free trade , pure and simple.
The advocates of protection have been un
wise in shifting tlio ground of debate. They
have sc.t many people to asking whether
robbing Peter to pay Paul is a
method equally economic for both
parties. The tendency of excessive pro
tection which thoughtful men dread
most is that it stimulates unhealthy homo
competition , loading to over production and
to disasters which are Its tainted offspring.
I can not take n cheerful view of the future
of Now England when bur leadlnir industries
shall bo gradually drawn to the south , as
they will bo , by tlio cheapness of labor there.

had several fights before which ended in

match. Iu the first round both men sparred
cautiously nnd but few blows were struck ,
Curtis having the advantage. It the second

Donnor to the ropes by a hard left-hander ,

Connor got in n 'cleaver , n light upper cut ,
but n trifiu short. Curtis landed twice on
Conner's nock heavily with his loft , nnd
both men were winded.
The fourth and fifth rounds were light
fighting nil through. In the sixth Curtis
punished Conner badly , hitting him eight or
ten heavy blows on the face and head. Both
men were bleeding. In the seventh round
there was considerable clinching , nnd Con
ner did some good work , landing on Curtis'
ribs nnd neck. Conner went to the ropes
from u hard rlpht-hander from Curtis nt the

siderable hard , close lighting , and in u clinch
the referee wns thrown and both men rolled
over him. Conner wsis very groggy but

Both men showed heavy punishment , and
Curtis' right eye wns closed nnd Conner's

DiiNVKn , Colo. , April 13. [ Special Tele
gram to the EEC. ] Since the commencement
of the six days' walk four of the men ,
Strokle , Messier , Buchanan and Robinson ,
have dropped out. The other seven nro still
swinging nround the track nt the rate of
from twelve to sixteen miles an hour. Nolan
is still holding the lead , ns he has done since
Messier dropped out , with Hart only n few
laps behind. It is the opinion of some that
Nolan will weaken before the cud is reached ,
as ho shows some signs of distress that may
lead to a complete ureak-dowu before mid
night to-morrow.
The winner is Hart , if he chooses to make
it , but those who nro posted say a good deal
depends upon the amount of money bet on
him. It is freely intimated that ho would
jiot hesitate to embarrass his admirers if
there was enough in it. At the present
time , however , there is no indication of a
sell out , and until Hart displays an intention
to throw the race he will be given full credit
for excellent work.
Vint seems to bo growing in popular favor
although 2i > miles behind the leader. In the
opinion of some lie will brace up at the end and

A 1'IXKEUTOX MAN
Horrible Vnto of An Imported Bur-
Ilngton Oiinrdlnn.
The lifeless body of Therold Lund , n Pin-
kcrton. policeman ngod thirty-eight years ,
presented n horrible sight under the flicker
ing glare of the headlight of switch engine
No. < . > 9 of the Burlington as ho lay prone on
the ties of the Pacific street bridge nbout 10
o'clock last nlcht. His uniform was satu
rated with his life's blood , his limbs were
mangled nnd crushed , his face wns devoid of
all sombhinco of humanity , nnd his skull
battered to n pulp , permitting the brnin and
secretions of his head to flow nnd drip into
the abyss many feet bolow. Under the bridge
lay the upper part of his head.
Lund came hero from Chicago among the
first of the Plnhcrtons when the strike on
the Burlington broke out , nnd has been kept
continually on duty at this point. Last
night , together with n fellow Pinkerton by
the nnmo of K. S. Corr , ho wns stationed on
the bridge to watch nn outgoing freight nnd
see that no violence was offered the
trainmen. Ho nnd Corr were standIng -
Ing on the south tracks of the
bridge fully absorbed in their duties , nnd
were not anticipating nny danger from their
stnndi > oint. All at once the sound of grind
ing wheels fall up the ears of Corr , who ,
.glancing to the west , observed a switch en
gine backing down upon them nt n high rate
of si > eed. Grasping the situation nt a glance ,
Corr cried out to his companion to follow
him and jump. Seemingly , Lund did not
understand the orders , but rcmnined at his
post , and while Corr was on his awful flight
to the rocky abyss , Lund was being ground
up under the wheels of the engine. His
agonizing cries nnd the motion of the onginc
attracted the attention of Hcnrv Smith , fore
man of the engine , who signaled the ciiRlnour ,
Frank Phelps , and the engine was slacked
up and stopped , nftcr dragging the un
fortunate man some forty feet. Ccnth wns
almost instantaneous.
Particulars of the cntnstropha wore sent to
the acpot , nnd the rest of the Pinkcrtons and
railroad attnchcs turned their attention to
looking after Oorr , who was found
lying insensible under the bridge. His
nose wns broken nnd his face terribly
disfigured. Ho was moved to his hotel and
medical assistance summoned. Ho is
thought to have suffered internal injuries of
n serious character. Coroner Croxcl was
sent for to remove the remains of Lund to
the morgue.
The decasod has a wife nnrt two children
living on Indiana avenue , Chicago , nnd the
sorrowful tidings of the loss of a husband
and father were forwarded them by tele
graph.
Lund has been in the service of the Pink
crtons n long time , and up to the time of his
transfer to Omaha had been on duty nt the
board of trade. Ho is a Cane by birth , wns
of pleasant , affable disposition , nnd greatly
liked by the officers associated with him.

CIIIPAOO , April in. ISpccInl Telegram
to the Hr.E.1 A most decided change in Mo
sentiment of wheat traders had been wrought
over night. At the close of the short sdiWlbn
yesterday the market wns I'.ttroinolJrenle
nnd nobody seemed to want nny vlioat , The
prediction of lower prices to-day was vpry
general. This morning , at from XQ to Jjo
higher prices , the market wns buoyant liii'd
active , with not n great disparity between
supply nnd demand. A number of efreuiu-
stances had combined to bring about this
result. The llrst quotations for Kngluh con
sols showed another decline of 4 points , Mid
although there wns n slight recovery later ,
yet the full of 8 points in two days revived
the talk of the unsettled condition of foreign
politics. On the other hand , it wns said that
the decline In consols hud no political
significance , but wns simply the effect of
the English chancellor's refunding scheme.
Moreover , cables , although firm , showed no
advance In the pneo of wheat nnd foreigners
were selling futures both hero and In Now

Corn was again the liveliest market on the
floor. Heeoipts were IIS cars larger than ex
pected nnd grading wns bettor than of Into ,
but these things seemed to bring no comfort
to the bears. At Dost receipts were smalt ,
especially of contract grade , and tlmro were
other circumstances calculated to innko the
shorts buy in their corn as soon ns possible.
One of them wns an advance in the price of
cash corn in New York to-day nnd n report
that n largo slleo out of the small stock
hero was to bo sent down to New York
by rail to 1111 contracts there. Tliero
was also n report that some strong houses
who had corn cribbed in the country proposed
to put the price to COc , at which they were
willing to bring in corn and deliver it. This
rejwrt was strengthened or porhnps It WHS
originated by the fact that ono of the
largest receiving houses was the biggest
buyer of May future to-day. Mny corn
opened at 54' c which was J c above last
