DUIIUN , May 1U. [ New York Herald
Cnblo Special to the Bnis.l The chasm be
tween the Vatican and nationalist catholics
begins to widen. A great public meeting is
to bo held to-morrow in Phojnlx Park , "In
support of the resolutions adopted by the
Irish Cnthol lo members with regard to the
political aspect of the recent circular from
Rome. " It Is announced simultaneously with
n spceinl meeting of the cdrporn-
tlon on Thursday next for a similar
purpose. The demonstration In the park will
bo presided over by Lord Mayor Sexton and
bo addressed by John Dillon , William
O'Brien , E. D. Sullivan , T. Harrington ,
John Redmond , Dr. Kenncy and others.
The Freeman's Journal to-day strongly
backs up these demonstrations , observing ,
"We would respectfully urge on those re
sponsible to hnvo the declaration of the Irish
Catholic representatives and the resolutions
of the mooting translated Into French nnd
Italian andbrought directly unuer the notice
of continental people nnd personages. Wo
have reason to believe that the steps already
taken meet with the wannest approval on
tho' other side of the Atlantic , as well
among native Americans as among our own
kith nnd kin in the states. The Irish
bishops have done their part ; it is now the
duty of the laity to do theirs. Wo feel sure
their pronouncement will bo independent ,
bold , outspoken and unmistakable. Irish
opinion and Judgment must bo supreme in
matters of politics. "
The Freeman's Journal also printed a
Roman dispatch , heading it , "British Intrigue -
triguo at Work , " in which it is asserted the
pope received moro than a year aeo on indi
rect invitation from the British government
to employ his religions authority in pacifying
the Irish. The British government gave no
engagement in exchange , but held out hopes
of a future arrangement. Monsignor Per-
sico collected many documents upon this
question , nnd after an Important conference
with the English and Irish bishops present
in Rome on the occasion of the jubilee , con
vinced the pope his intervention might be
useful to the interests of the Catholic church
nnd her relations with England. The pope
entrusted the congregation with the study of
all the documents collected and it came to
the unanimous decision that the condition of
the Irish tenants did not Justify them in
making illegal and violent opposition. This
point having been settled it went on to discuss
the question of condemning the plun of
campaign from a religious point of view.
The congregation feared such an act might
bo considered nn Inopportune interposition of
the Vatican in the political nnd internal af
fairs of a foreign state. Several cardinals
insisted upon the necessity of clearly ex
pressing In the decree the absolute noninter
vention of the Holy Sco In political matters.
The majority , however , decided in favor of
the decree as It was published , considering
that far from prejudicing the national ques
tion , it would raise the religious prestige of
the Vatican. The pope still hopes for the
re-establishing of diplomatic relations with
England and hi the meantime trusts 10 ob
tain considerable advantage from reform
laws relating to public Instruction , and "all
circles and sects hero express Intense inter-
CHt to know what the outcome will bo and If
tha attrition will brine a species of disrup
tion. "
I OXIMIN , May 10. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to TUB Br.a.l The remon
strance from Dublin by the Irish Catholic
members of parliament against the interfer
ence of the pope has a background which was
not made public at the gathering. T , B ,
O'Connor was deputed to put the matter into
stronger application in his newspaper , the
Star. Accordingly ho prints In double-leaded
type an editorial of defiance which speaks for
tlio Parncllltcs. Emanating from prntestants
it might bo deemed properly pugnacious :
"Tho protest sets at rest the fears \voll-
meaning friends entertained that papal in
fluence was strong enough to mold the political -
cal feelings and actions of the Irish people ,
and has at the same time a quiet warning to
the pious wire pullers at Romn that there
may bo some danger In abusing the great de
votion of the Irish people to the holy see.
There will bo some surprise , and perhaps no
little dismay , In Rome when the
text of the Irish members' reply
to the faiuour circular reaches the
vatlccn , yet the'dlgnifled rebuke offered bj
the Irish members of the holy oflleo of the
inquisition gains in strength from Its uiitder
ntion. Tl\o \ moralists of the Vatican had nc
time to cGiu'.uinn the savage evictions of the
poor nor tl.'O brutal oppression of tbo Irish
pcoplu. They were too nueh occupied lister. '

the Irish people in the management of their
political affairs , which has n ring in It that
will appeal strongly to the love of liberty of
tbo British pcbple. "
Some Irish M. P's. , moreover , do not hesi
tate to speak much ns bluntly of Monsignor
Pcrslco's report to the Vatican , because on
.liattlio rescript purports to bo founded.
The English Catholics seem fast drifting
into Vatican nnd nntl-vntlcan parties. The
Tablet and the Catholic Press are to-day nt
odds on this division , Tlio former newspaper
likens the attitude or the Irish unto that of
the Jnnsonltcs of two centuries ago. The
other newspaper goes with the FrccmanB
Journal and the Irish members , saying , "no
ono can feel the slightest respect for those
very fallible decrees emanating from the
Tablet office. "
Rome , May 18. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to Tun Bnn. ] The manifesto of
the Parnolllto members of parliament on the
papal condemnation of the plan of campaign
has caused considerable surprise at the Vat
ican , the attitude of the bishops and clergy
of Ireland having caused it to bo supposed
that the Catholic members of tbo homo rule
party would also submit. The attitude of
the Parncllltcs , however , will not lead the
Vatican to modify In the very smallest de
gree Its determination to combat everything
in the homo rule agitation that , like the plan
of campaign and boycotting , Is opposed to
morality and religion. On the contrary , the
protest of the Pnrnelllto members is already
accepted by the Vatican as affording indis
putable evidence of the necessity for combat
ing the revolutionary and subversive tenden
cies of the nationalist agitators. The Vatican
has received further reports from the United
States , showing thai the pop'o's condemnation
of the plan of campaign and of boycotting
has been everywhere received by the Catho
lic population of that country with marked
respect. _
PUOOD SUPFEUERS.
Hundreds of Families in Need of Im
mediate Assistance.
QUIXOY , 111. , May 19. The river has fallen
three and a half inches since last night and
it Is now believed the worst of the flood Is
over. No damage whatever has been denote
to this city , excepting to factories and build
ings under the bluff along the river bank.
By reason of the additional breaks in the
levees above und below the city the water
Inside the embankments is now on n level
with the river , and nearly every foot of
ground formerly protected by the levees is
flooded. Depots of supplies- have been
established by the relief committee of
Quincy at various points throughout the
flooded district , from which provisions nnd
clothing are being distributed. Investiga
tions made to-day show that previous reports
of want and destitution have not been exag
gerated. Hundreds of families require im
mediate assistance. The people of Quincy
responded nobly to the call for aid. several
thousand dollars having been subscribed and
the work of relief has been only fairly
commenced. Governor Alger of Michigan
telegraphed 300 to the relief committee.
Another Break.
ST. Loots , May 1'J. Late advices from upriver -
river points say the flood is increasing nt
various places and there Is much suffering
among the people. At Louisiana , Mo. , the
river has risen nn additional six inches and
another break occurred in the Sny levee ,
flooding moro of the bottoms and compelling
many people to lly for their lives.

DUI.UTH , Minn. , May 19. [ Special Tele
gram to THE Bnn. ] An expedition headed by
H. F. Eberts started from hero to-day on tlio
steamer Ossifrngo for the ancient Tolteo
silver mines , thirty miles Inland from Grand
Marals , in Lake county. A largo amount of
pumps steam drills and mining machinery
accompanied them , and another lot of em
ployes go forward by the next boat. The
projectors have possession of 1,500 acres of
laud in that section and already have un
covered a twelve-foot vein of the richest sil
ver ere known In these mines. They wcro
worked over two thousand years ape by the
Avtccs and Toltccs. Among the work to be
done is the draining of a small lake near by ,
which will expose the base of the silver Icdgo
and' render operations easier. The enter
prise Is backed by men of capital und no
stock is for sale. The excitement is grow
ing and the cry is "The ancient diggings. "

\Ca\i\irtoM \ \ \ 18S3 by James Uonton llcnnett.\ \
Br.nuN , May 10. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tin : Bnc. ] I was fortu
nate enough to-day to catcli a glimpse of the
emperor as ho was taking an airing in his
pony perambulator in Chnrlottenburg park
enclosure. Ho looked very white and very
fatigued , but his expression was most cheer
ful , his face now and then brightening Into a
smllo. Ills beard has boon partly cut. Ho
were a Panama hat and a thin gray cloak
sort of duster. Tlio perambulator was
stuffed with green cushions. The pony Is a
llttlo red one , not much bigger than a St.
Bernard dog. Two lackeys in black livery
and silver arguillctcs walk beside , fanning
away the swarms of mosqultos. I after
wards saw Mackenzie , who , together with
Virchow , still firmly persists nothing yet ab
solutely demonstrates the disease to bo can
cer , although with a strong probability It is
exactly a case of "Scotch verdict not pro ven. "
Mackenzie savs It Is unfortunate there Is no
spring weather this year , but the sudden
heat and mosquito plague hnvo not had any
perceptible effect on the emperor , who will
go in a little steam launch , about the 2Sth
of May , to Potsdam , nnd after
about a fortnight's rest there go
to Hamburg. There is no reason why the
patient should not llvo n month or three
months or more , but if tlio corroslvo sere
should eat inwards , of course it would bo
fatal , but it is not doing so now. The empe
ror's constitution and the absence of nervous
ness are not favorable for recovery but splen
did for resistance against disease. I asked
Mackenzie if recovery was possible. Ho re
plied , "Most certainly. I still maintain re
covery within limits is a pocsibillty. "
It is 92 = Fahrenheit in the shade to-day ,
not a breath of wind and the atmosphere
thick with millions and millions of mesquites ,
everybody agrees that Berlin never before
was so suddenly transformed , and as if by
magic wo made a pluugo from midwinter into
midsummer. The day before yesterday
overcoats and even furs wore a neces
sity ; to-day a tropical sun seems to have
melted them away , and straw hats and
white duck trousers everywhere domlnato.
Swarms of American mosquitoes not only
suddenly appeared in the city [ .but in the
zoological gardens , where the elephants ,
tigers and lions are to-day for the first time
out in the open air.
The kaiser's continued improvement has
become almost a cause for national congratu
lation , but oven the most optimistic do not
dare , under Sir Morroll's cautious saying , to
pronounce it convalescence. Politically and
financially the logical conclusions of cancer
ous development have been discounted in
every capltol in Europe , All eyes are rlv-
Ited on the crown prince , who is still re
garded as an unkuown quality , but those
nearest him feel convinced that ho has intel
lectual force and energy greater than that
possessed by any Hohcnzollcrn prince since
Frederick the Great , but the same
friends admit that this admiration
for IBismarck. is so tjreat that
even when the crown prince
becomes emperor he will allow Bismarck to
rule as firmly and at despotically as Riche
lieu did in Franco under Louis Triczo. It is
now an open secret that acting upon Bis-
marcks advice the crown prince , when he
ascends the throne , will not only bo crowned
king of Prussia at Konlgsborg whcro the
Prussian kings nro always crowned , but will
have a magnificent imperial coronationat ,
Frankfort or nt Achen , where Charles V
was crowned in 18. > 0 , nnd which by a golden
bull granted by Charles IV In 1350 was inado
tho'coronatlon place for German emperors.
It is believed ttiat this step will not only bo
a popular recalling of the imperial
grandeur of Charles V , but flatter
ing the present sentiment of the renaissance
and devotion to everything that is all
dcutsche , but at the same time strengthen
outside of Prussia , the personal prestige of
the ompcrial crown. The crown prince firmly
believes that the whole tendency of future
events is to limit the action of individual
governments and to place greater power in
the emperor's hands. Bismarck has spohfin
of the crown prince as a man after his own
heart , und this plan of an imperial coronation ,
reviving the days of the old German empire ,
is an eventful ono for Germans everywhere
and sets them all thinking.
The street windows of Berlin are filled
with photographs and plaster busts of the
crown princo. Ho Is cheered heartily whenever
over ho appears in public , I saw him this
morning as ho entered the Brandeburg gaU
returning from the Temple Hot maneuvers
ut the bead of the Garden fusilier regl
incut. Ho looks paler , much uioro care
worn , and above all much more umturcc
than when I saw him at San Rcmo ir
February. His \vhole demeanor has changed
He is less impetuous ; his dcmeanuer anc
his conversation have become moro sub
ducd , like , that of a , man who IIOH sufferei
or who Las jessed thiougb a 'crisis. H <
seems ten years older since February. Per-
Imps after all ho may not provo to bo the
hot-spur that ho 1 generally believed to be.

'coived news of a Clan-na-Gaol plot which

ilar to the tragedy "of " the Phmnlx park ,

watched the movements of Thomas Hrcnimu
nnd found him conferring ; with n man natred
Walsh , who afterwards made a pretense of
going to America. 'He ostentatiously an
nounced tils intention bf going to Omaha to

ostensibly to take the steamer to Now York.
But after reaching Havre ho went to Purls ,
where ho has beep living under an assumed
name , In an obscure hotel. Tlio police have
advertised a description of Walsh and are
closely watching men supposed to bo parties
to the plot ,
Mr. Hronnan was seen last evening by a
BKK reporter and fcald :
"So far us I am concerned this Is a Ho out

PAHIS , May 10. [ Now York Herald Cnblo
Special to Tun BKB. ] From spring , with
Us laprlccs anil chills , wo Imve plunged into
midsummer. Mantles and overcoats have
been luld aside for the season , and after dusk
the Champs Elysccs Is once moro thronged
with pleasure scolccrs. The Al Fresco and
Cafe Clmntan have trimmed up their lamps.
The echoes of the Ambnssadcurs are an
swered by other echoes from the Alcazar and
the Pavllllon del Horlcgo. The strains
of the Boulangist's songs of Bourg's are
broken by the increasing rattle of crockery
from those pretty llttlo restaurants , which
most strangers find so ruinous. Through
the broad avenue leading to the triumphal
arch day and night an endless stream of car
riages roll. The four-in-hands have been
brought out again and the cafes are filled
with the clatter of many tongues. The noble
faubourg Is giving its last grand reception
in a word , Paris has reached the height of its
annual season.
Americans are still pouring ) into Paris.
Among others I have met on the boulevards
this week Lieutenant II. R. Sullivan , Mrs.
Louisa Bowler , Mrs. Wayne Noff of Cincin
nati , Miss Louisa Ingalls , Mr. and Mrs. C.
C. Fellows , Mr. Charles W. Parker , Miss
Parker of Boston and Mrs. Edward Scovell
nee Marcla Roosevelt.
Colonel Jerome Bonaparte , Mr. and Mrs.
Sorchon and Mr. A. Padclford sailed on the
Champagne to-day.
The marriage of Count Derohan Chabot
and Mrs. . Albert Gallatin takes place at the
papal nunciutur's , Paris , Juno 7.
Since his return from the north Boulangcr
has been very busy. lie has taken a new
housd in the Rue Urmont d' Neville , near
Fracadero , which he will inhabit alone this
summer , Mine. Boulangcr's health not being
equal to the strain of living in Paris witli a
man so overwhelmed by politics as her hus
band. Meanwhile what Charles Laurent
calls the hideous Boulangist spider Is
spinning merrily away at the Hotel Louvre.
No attempt is now made to hide the ambi
tious aims of the general's party. Only a
child could pretend not to see they are both
personal and plebiscltary. The general's
antrehambess , or rather the hotel landing ,
which does duty for an anteroom is cumbered
daily by crowds of the curious.
Even when ho was minister of
war Boulnngor was less toadied
to. He has dropped into the part of preten
der very naturally , nnd seems not to fear
desertion bv the partisans of rival pre
tenders who arc weaving their little webs at
Brussels. It is worth noting , however , that
the monarchists in the chamber have suddenly
adopted a new attitude. At an Important
meeting yesterday they decided to begin a
vigorous and unscrupulous campaign for dis
solution and reform of the constitution.
Those who are in the secrets of the monarch
ists say that the benefit of this campaign Is
not intended for Boulangcr , but impartial
observers think the plotters may find
it hard to get ride of the general , whom they
have as they perhaps fancy been using as a
tool to upset the republic.
Houlaugcr's trip to the north has allowed
him but little time to think of the English
war scares. However , his opinion was
worth ascertaining , so I interviewed the gen
eral. At the first mention of the war scare
ho smiled. On hearing the people in Eng
land were talking of possible French inva
sions , ho chuckled , "C'cst fou , " ho ex
claimed , "its absolute lunacy. No one has
the faintest notion of invading England. I
can't conceive how such nonsense can have
entered any one's brains. Voyons nations
don't inyado each other without a motive.
What interest or object could any country
have in attacking England ] The English
may set their minds at rest , no ono wants to
meddle with them , "
"Have you some anti-English prejudice

a certain shape would you not bo tempted to
bo hostile to England ! "
"Don't believe It , " warmly replied the
General. "Why , I am born of an English
mother , Nol Not I have no such preju
dice. "
"What Ao you thind of the British army ,
general ! "
"I've seen British troops "
never any , re
plied Boulangcr , "so 1 have no opinion worth
offering , I never saw an English boldier on
parade. The recruiting system across the
channel of course makes it Impossible to have
a strong army , but that doesn't ' matter much
if the English keep to their island. If Eng-
md had to defend herself shu need not pin
her faith to her army. She should get more
ships. "

A sensation was caused at Long Champs
this week by the arrest of M. Julian Dumas ,
the barrister , and M. Nalllo , and Comte Do
la Rochefoucauld d'Eslissao. M. Dumas ,
wishing to back a horse , was changing a 500
franc bank note when twojdetcctives seized
him by the shoulders and ordered him
to follow them to the commissariat. A great
many forged French bank notes are , it seems ,
in circulation. Dumas was suspected of try
ing to pass one off. Comto do la Rochefou
cauld and M. Nalllcr were run in immediately
after for protesting against Dumas' arrest.
The detectives refused to accept nny explan
ation and locked their captives up for several
hours. M. Dumas , it seems , had the
forged note given him by an
Englishman at a cafe In the Avenue ,
do 1'Opera. ' All tho. Paris hotel-keepers
have been warned against the 500 franc
notes.
There was some sensational racing at Long
Champs this week unrt the sporting prophets
have had little luck. Cogheron , the Herald
prophet , was one of the few who gave tlio

Mysterious Disappearance.
Citr.TB , May 18. [ Special to Tin : Bin : , ]
Ono of those mysterious cases of the disap
pearance of persons that fill the long roll of
unsolved problems has Just closed In the city.
About March 23,18a7 , ono John Hope , of this
city , u man well known by almost nil persons
hero had occasion to mnko a trip to England.
Before starting ho carefully arranged his
property hero and left it in the hands of a
faithful friend. Ho drew from the bank be
tween ff 00 and $700 to pay his expenses , and
started off with a happy heart to visit tlio
scenes of his early days ; ho bid good-bye to
those for whom ho entertained mi affection
and started elY on his long journey. Tim last
seen of him was on tils way to the railroad
depot. From that time till this no trace of
him has been found , Not the least trace of his
whereabouts can bo found. All of the prinri-
plo cities have boon in communication with
the authorities here and still no sign ,
The police of the different cities in
the cant luivo searched without result. Mr , O ,
1C. Hiflln , ono of Piiikorton's Now York de
tectives , was employed , und for a week or
more ho has been devoting his time and en
ergies to ferreting out the mystery , but at
last has given up the case , stating that
Mayor T. H. Miller had done everything in
the world that could bo done to bring the
mystery to light. No time nor expense has
boon spared to bring this very mysterious
case to llglit , but nil efforts seem of no avail ,
Mr , Hope was n well behaved , steady man
who paid strict attention to hh work , what
ever it was , gave no offense and attended to
his business , and so far as known had no
enemies in the town. His disappearance is H
source of great anxiety to his many friends
heie.

BBIILIN , May 10. For the first time aincd
his critical relapse , the emperor has bcett1
seen to-day outsldo the schloss. Shortly
after 5 o'clock the people assembled In fronC
of the palace were gratified by the appear *
anco of the emperor und empress in nn open
carriage. The three princesses followed in
n second carriage , nnd In n third were Dp ,
McKenzie nnd General Wintorflcld. Thd
imperial carriage proceeded very slowly anuT
enabled many people to coma forward nnoT
present flowers to the emperor and empress
who received tlicm till the carriage wa *
heaped with them. The weather was bright
nnd the heat almost that of midsummer ,
The crape ror still bears the marked !
traces of fever , but his appearance
anco dally improves. The drive wa8
continued to the shooting lodge nt Gruna
wald , and after n short rest the Imperial fam
ily returned to the schloss. Ho takes
strong Interest In the preparations for thd
wedding of the Prince Henry nnd Princess
Ireno. It is expected that the marriage , in *
stead of being semi-private , will bo nt court ,
and the celebration associated with the em
peror's recovery. Three hundred and twenty
guests have been invited , Including tha
Prince of Wales , the king of Saxony , tbo
Grand Duke nnd Grand Duchess of Baden ,
the Prince and Princess Anhalt , the crown
prince of Greece nnd all the members of tha
Hohonzollcrn and Hcsso families.
The relations between the empress und
Prince Bismarck nro again strained. 'Befbrd *
the chancellor wont to Varzina the empress
submitted to the emperor the names ot
several court officials on whom she desired
to have conferred distinguished orders.
Prince Bismarck protested and the whole
ministry signed a paper stating that if thd
Srclcrs wort ) conferred they would resign.
The empress then withdrew the names. The
feeling of bitterness between the court ami
Prince Bismarck's portisans Is intensified !
The chancellor will return to Berlin at the
end of the week. The situation is too crit <
cal to permit of further rest for him. The
war drum beats with subdued reson
ance and ever snd anon the ofllcial
press reawakens interest by FOUIO fresh
alarm , Russian preparations are most om
inous. The news of Uio week is to the effect
that Russia 1ms accepted the French symir *
cato's terms for her loans , The Russian
minister of finance first ruptured negotia
tions with the comptinr d' cscompote , anrrlly
rejecting the proposals as a slur upon Rua
sian solvency. Though the details of the
negotiations which have been concluded nro
meagre , but enough is known to show that
the former felt the pinch and submitted to
the syndicato's conditions. The Russiatt
treasury obtains an advance of i : > ,000,000
sterling. The total loan amounts to 41,000- ,
000 and the balance to bo issued in the au
tumn if the time is opportune *
The North German Ga/etto nnd
other government organs have received an <
inspiration for a vigorous renewal of them
attacks on Russia , hence , the accusation that
the czar's agents are seeking to foment revo
lution in Macedonia. The Gn/.ctto , In an ai'-
tlclo headed'A Russian Fortress on Turk
ish Territory , " denounces the celebrated
convents on Mount Athos as a center of pan-
Slavist conspiracy , and states that Russian
pilgrims , who are really veteran soldiers dis
guised , crowd the convents to the number oC
10,000 , Supplies of arms and munitions of
war are hidden in the vicinity. Thoporta
has been cautioned to maintain u close watclj ,
as at nny moment the signal ma/
bo given for an insurrection , preceding Rus
sian entrance into Bulgaria ,
Russian activities center , in the meantime0 , ,
in southern Russia. Masked batteries ara >
being rapidly constructed along the shore *
of the Black sea between the mouth of tha
Dncistcr and Odessa , and immense stores oC
munitions nro being collected at Odessa' ,
where the premises of the yacht club wcro
brougct into requisition as a store anal'
coaling point. Tlio two strategic lines leudV
ing to the Austrian frontier will not bo com
pleted before July. The Austrian strategic ]
railways in Gallcla have completed thole
cor.liug projects. The proposed tour of
General Von Plimitz Is in itself proof 'thai
the situation is in no wise improved *
tils presence in Vienna became known pub/
llrly only to-day and has renewed fears of to
early outbreak of hostilities.
The Berlin war office , hor.-rtver , does nott
share in the apprehensions of immediate'
trouble. General Von Plunltz'u tour was ar
ranged In February and Is not duo to tnjf
rr.ctnt developments.
Another bad cyn < ptom Is tno recurrence of
the press campaign og&Inat Franco. Th i
