As already cabled you , the Kaiser Frledcrick , the moment ho ho ird of Sheridan's illness , expressed his i warmest sympathy nnd hoped that the gal lant lltllo general would pull through all ' jght. To day I am enabled , thanks to the Jurtcsy of a general officer who was for ftnny years one of the general adjulanlsof \o \ Emperor William , to make public \o Impressions made by General Slier- dan nnd the opinions formed in } gnrd to him by General Field Marshal Iraf Von Moltkc , chief of the general staff , General Dor Cavallcno Graf Von I > cr /oltz / , who commanded Iho calvary division f the guard dtiring the Franco-German war , jy General Der Infantrio Von Sapc , com nander of the gnrdo corps of the Prussian .rmy , and by Major General Frederick feugcn , prince of Sohen/allcrn , who com hinnds the Third brigade of cavalry of.the garde corps.

It was 'i this study that I was received by the first I living strategists at shortly after 2 | 'clock ' , Just as ho had finished reading the | 'bports of his adjutants. The room is n ' Jnall ono nnd the walls are covered with jook cases filled with military books and argo folios , npparcnlly containing maps. Dvcr n porcelain stove is a portrait of thelalo emperor. An old engraving of Frederick Iho prcat occupies n prominent place opposite Iho door. A whist lable is placed next the writing table Count Von Moltko is , by the way , considered the best whist player in the rirmy. Count Von Moltko was seated in n ' .straight back queen plush chair when the distinguished person who accompanied mo explained Iho object of my vlsil Count Von Mollko at once politely but llrmlj objected to being Interviewed , or to having nything published In Iho form of an inter icw , but ho finally consented to express the following impression in reference to Genera : Sheridan : "I hnvo id ways regarded Generals ( rant , Sherman and Leo as the reprcsonla 'vo types of the highest form of modern tratcgisls , but General Sheridan blruck mo is the typo of n thoroughly American gen- rul , with all the wonderful cnergi nil fertility of resources thnt chnrnctcwed .10 nation , and probably no better cavalri commander lias ever taken Iho field.

General Von der Gocu said : I first saw General Sheridan In IbTO , Just after the battle of Sedan , nnd was imprcssei with Iho way In which ho examined the boibcs' feet nnd the field forges of Iho differ out cavalry regiments , I met him afterwards nt Versailles , shortly before Paris was declared clared , and remember him Raying lhat liai the German cavalry been organl/oi on Iho American baals , that all th French railways connecting the Fried hnrber army In the north nnd Iho Chums army on the Loho would huvo been totally desttoycd Immediately after Iho isolation of Paris.

Pr.Tr.itsiifito , Juno 2. [ New York Herald Cable Special to Tin : Bin. ] Another vast railway project follows fast on the completion of the Trans-Caspian railway. The government is already considering the details. The proposal is no less than uniting the cxtiemo eastern terminus of the Russian railway system with the Siberian coast on Pacific ocean. Plans for this great enter prise were examined at a recent sittingof the Imperial Kussian Technical society , on which occasion Vicc-Admiral Krylcoff pro nounccd himself in favor of the Orenburpli route , but according to the government the Sanmra-Ncrtschinsk louto is to be preferred , and the majority of the members of the society favored this latter proposal. The c/ar is of the opinion that it should bo built graduall.v , beginning by small sections where local circumstances render it advisable and constructing the rest according to requirements. The chief diffi culties to bo encountered do not coasist in the undulations of the country traversed , but the large rivers across which it is necessary to throw bridges. The Russians would have preferred one of the Corcan ports for the Pacific railway terminus. Port La/arolT 01 the Bay of Nozun would have suited them butter than Vladistook. It is thought the English government had an inkling of this when they caused Port Hamilton to bo occu pied. The new Kussian railway will be about 0-tOO kilometers long and the cost will be ap , proximately -100,000,010 , roubles. The first section projected will cover 3.100 kilometers and will cost about 2-iO,000OCO roubles. Both for political and military reasons the Kus sians attach the utmost importance to the prompt execution of this mighty scheme , which becomes the more popular as it is dis cussed. _ BliTKAVKI ) IN OMAHA.

Ho received mo at his hotel nnd discussed his plans for the sum mer , already known in New York. Thcro seemed to bo only one cloud in his horizon the political result of his friend Blaiue. "Ah , " ho said , shaking his head Borrow fully , "ils lee bad. I hcnr Hint Blalno has written n letter to Whitclaw Held reiterating his re fusal. Having been shown the copy of it , which was cabled to the European edition at Paris , Mr. Carncpio continued : "I was afraid of it ; in fact n private loiter which I received from Mr. Blalne before 1 left , left little doubt as to the course he would pursue. Now that ho has made public his determina tion I have no hesitation in * saying lhat 1 i egret it deeply. I will even go farther and say that Mr. Blainc has made a great mistake. It was right and proper that ho should write the Florence let ter. It was doing what was highly honora bio as icgards bis party at that time. He subslanlinlly said lo Iho republican party : 'Gcnllcmcn , I led Ihe republican army in the campaign of 18S1 , and was defeated ; now I step aside , so you can now choose n new commander , und I will fight the next cam paign under him. ' So far so good. But since then the republican party have an swercd him as they had n right , and have shown Mr. Blaiue unmistakably that ihey want no ono else. In short , Ihey refused to accept his withdrawal and said : 'Pick up Iho slandai d where it fell and lead us again. This being the case I consider Mr. niainc , as a loyal servant to his party nnd ns a loyal citizen , has no right to persistently ignore the plain wish of the millions who claim him as their leader. Whatever arc Ills individual prefer cnccs , whatever his private reasons , all these should have sunk before the great imnstaiivc questions of duty and patriolism. There are the hardships connected with the position of first magistrate of our country. There is u mass of euro and icsponsibility. There is such n hitler campaign lo bo fought through that when the republican party calls to Mr. Blaiue , or any other of its leaders , to come to the front I maintain he is bound ns n good soldier to respond lo the summons. He , no doubt , has overwhelming reasons , but of one thing I am ccitain , Mr. Blaine is sincere Ho was so in ISbt when ho expressed the same reluctance. I know thai the people are disposed to iceeive such .statements with in credulity , but these ate true in Mr. lilalne's case. case.One One thing more. I do not believe Mr. Blaine is stopping out of the lace because he believes his defeat would be n foregone con elusion. On the contrary , lie. must sco lhat the laurels of victory wonld probably bo his , for the chances of republican success are vastly greater now than they were a short time ago. To mention only u single clement which must throw n vast weight upon the rcdublican side.

No sooner has Emperor Frederick seemed assured of some prolonga tion of llfo than Influences hostile to Prince Bismarck bnvc displayed renewed activity. The conIIlet between the liberal tendencies of the emperor and the chancellor's policy , which has been ; latent nt the outset of the reign , now threatens to end in open rupture. The emperor is swayed by otho opinion of the empress , who has resumed the active domain she secured during the illness of the emperor at San Hemo. Prince Bismarck had warning of the coining troubles last week In n com munication from the emperor blaming Minis tcr von Puttkamcr for abusing the govern ment Inllucnco nt elections. Prlnco Bismarck - marck returned from Varzin , and in an inter view found the emperor desirous of recon structing the ministry and also opposed to giving consent to the quinquennial landtag bill. Under the advice of Dr. Prieilberg. the emperor signed the bill , at the same time advising Hismarck that ho hoped this concession would be followed by reforms in the minis try. When Bismarck left the emperor on Thursday the crisis appeared to have been settled. To-day it transpires that Hismarck had been consulting his colleague on the or der of the emperor for the postponement of the publication of the law. It was reported that the emperor had cancelled his signature. The report , however , is unconfirmed. The ministerial circle look for the worst. The progressists rejoice at the prospect of the ad vent of a liberal regime. The crisis has not reached the climax of the resignation of the ministry and until Prince Bismnrck has again consulted the emperor , the issue of the conflict is doubtful , but the situation 'is grave enough to cause profound uneasiness. Owing probably to anxiety , combined with yesterday's fatigues , the emperor became worse to-day , nis fever reappeared , the dis charge of pus became copious and his general exhaustion greater. The doctors forbade his going into the park ttiis evening seeing that he was greatly fatigued. The p.isspoit regulations on the frontier are already becoming relaxed. To-day's Strasborg Gazette announces that passen gers by eastern express having through tickets from Paris to the interior of Ger many will bo released from the obligation to pioduco their p.isspoits provided they do not Iravo the train within Alsace-Lorraine. The pass embassy reports that 7BO passpoi ts were iccclved Thursday and yesterday. The ex ecution of the regulations proves that the goveinmcnt's solo object is to keep out of Alsacc-Lornine that class of travelers who foment agitation for the reunion of the piovlncc to France. Al. Gobelct's speech inieply to Premier Von Tisza's statement has been badly received in the Berlin and Vienna foreign offices. His thruhts at Hungary and his allusions to German frontier measures decided the Austro- Hungarian ministers to curtly reaffirm their peaceful intentions toward France. After the adjournment of the untcrhaus Hcrr Von Tis/n is reported to have stated that a European war involving the fate of Franco would Intervene before the Paris ex hibition was opened.
