Cable-Special to Tnr. Bii : : . " | The wcntlicr
has gone intohysterlcs. The week opened
with tropical heats nnil dcnd calms. Twen
ty-eight cases of sunstroke were recorded In
ono day. Then thunder storms raped for
twenty-four hours and on AVedncsdny the
thermometer fell sixteen decrees , and over
coats and ulsters reigned supreme. The
Rtortn cabled Juno 1 by the Herald's meteoro
logical bureau mm announced to arrive on
British const Juno 5 , reached Germany the
night of the Cth. Fifty fishing smacks In
the North sea were wrecked nnd a north
westerly gale came sweeping over northern
Germany , blowing off the roofs of houses
nnd creating terrible havoc with cherry and
peach orchards. This Herald storm then
Bccmcd to obtain n now lease of life
in the Mecklenburg prairies and went bound
ing off Into Russia , leaving Berlin inadclugo
of rain that has lasted without u bteak till
the end of the week.
Berlin Is now almost deserted , not only
the emperor , but the crown prince and all
that constitutes Berlin uppcrtendom has
'flitted off to Potsdam. Thokuiscr Frederick's
dismissal of Putthamor causes n thrill ot joy
throughout Germany , except the Itrcuz-
-Eeitung , tlio organ of the Puttkamor feudal
nohillty , which shows ugliness by merely
recording his dismissal in six lines. All
the papers conservative , liberal and
radical are unanimous in approving the
kaiser's decisive action. Even the conscrvn-
tivo Voeks Zcitung says no tears will ho shed
for Puttkamor , wlio was the obstacle in the
way of the happy future of the German people
plo ; who was the klassischo vertretres dcs
buereaukratcho orthodoxes. The Polizeis
taats Minlstral Zoitung says Puttkamor rep
resented ultra-fudal sectarianism and has
already done much harm , and if not dis
missed would have done more. The Nord-
Dcutscher Zcltung , Bismarck's organ , np
proves the dismissal nnd considers the way
now open to still greater electoral reforms.
The Boerscn Courier says the only Germans
who regret Puttkamer are a few mednevll
nobles and n dozen secret police agents , whom
ho recently promoted , who now have no
occupation. The Sago Blatt says Wiihl-
patronlzo is now killed. The kaiser's deter
mined action opens an era of German repre
sentative government. Henceforth Prussian
ballots will bo equivalent. The Unver-
folschto Mcinung dcs Volkcs concludes with
those words : "Erfulcn die wiiehler Ihro
pliicht wlo unscr kaiser die schio crfucllt hat
dann Vird dcrpcrsoncmvcchscldas signal zu

I saw the kaiser to-day ntFricdcrichstrom.
Ho Is getting on well , hut has lost Mesh. Ho
rcadH all the newspapers dally , and cats rare
chops with inllit and cream. I acke < ;
MoKonzio If the kaiser's health was affected
by the excitement of the Puttkamer crisis
"Not u bit , " ho replied. "It Is deemed to
have done him good. " The kaiser will prob
ably end the month at Hamburg. Bismarck
pees to Kissengcn on the 10th of July.
The emperor , during the ministerial crisis
has shown great firmness and decision of
character. This Is the third tlino that ho IMS
had n difference of opinion with Bismarck
nnd the Von Puttkamer ministry. The emperor
poror has evinced a cast-Iron resolve that so
long as ho lives representative government
in Prussia Is to have fair play. The onv
pcror In the most categorical terms has In
elated that Prussian voters are hcncofortl
to bo protected from all nnicia ! Interference !
or influence in casting their ballots , and thu
government corruption that has hitherto
played such a vital role at the polls Is don
nway with. This is the political significance
of the recent cabinet crisis , and both Bis
marck and Minister Von Puttkamer have re
luctautly , but gracefully , yielded to their Im
perial master.
The crown prince becomes dally more sol
emn and serious , He looks careworn and
grows thin. Ho lives a very quiet life with
his wife in his Mnrmor palalse overlooking
in the hoyel at Pottsduui. Ho spends his
time reading Jotlnls' history of the campaigns
of the first Nnpoicon and studies carefully
the Russian staff history of the last cam
paign. Ho walks a great deal In the pine
forests and never fails to have , n
chnt with Prince Bismarck when
ever the chancellor visits Pottsdam.
The other day the crown prince accidentally
cut his flugcr while opening and shutting
the blade of a penknife. The blood ran
freely end tno crown prince with a con-
tcmp'uius shrug of his shoulders , exclaimed ;
* 'Ach , dus Knglisho blut , "
The crown prii'co recently showed admir
able coolness and pluck. A cipher telegram
from London reached Berlin last Saturday
informing the German police that two young
oclallst workmen had left London for Ber
lin ; that they were su j > ectcd of beiug agents
of n secret society ot German socialists
living In London who wished to assassinate
the crown prince and Prince Bismarck.
The two young socialists were shad
owed by the Berlin police , who
soon thought they were on the track of a
serious assassination plot. It was believed
that n dastardly attempt of some kind of
dynamite bomb would bo mode upon the
crown prince titPoltsdam on Monday as ho
would pass ns usual over the Gllncko brldgo
on his way to Manner palaiso. Tho1 crown
prince was informed of this nnd was
warned by the police that it would
bo advisable not to ' pass over
the bridge. To-day the crown prince
treated these warning * with the
utmost contempt nnd rode on his
chestnut gelding over the bridga ns usual.
It subsequently turned out that the two so-
lallst conspirators arc two harmless crazy
men who will probably bo put In n lunatic
sylum. The crown prince afterwards went
hunting In West Prussia nnd returned to
? ottsdnm Friday evening.
No well known Americans have arrived In
Berlin this week. The stream of American
isltors has already turned towards Holland
ml Saxony , the Rhino and South Germany ,
dr. Ylllurd continues to drink the waters at
/arlsbnd.
Mrs. Von Schwelnltz , the wife of General
> ron Sehwclnitz , the German ambassador at
St. Petersburg , who was Miss Jay of New
York , passed n few days this' week nt Potts-
ilam , where they took tea with the empress
nd afterwards , together with her children ,
ivcnt off to Hamburg for the summer , where
General Von Sehwclnitz will rejoin her ns
soon as no has completed his Hying
visit to Galicia , to BCO what the
Austrian frontier defences look like. The
charming American wife of the German
cmbassador has become ono of the empresses
most intimate friends.
Hcrr von ICrupp , the great cannon king
passed through Berlin yesterday en route for
St. Petersburg1 , in reference to largo orders
for field guns for Russian artillery that will
soon bo tnado.
Kdouard Strauss continues to wear the
rosette of the French legion of honor ns ho
prances about leading his orchestra at the
exhibition in Thlcr Garten. This is much
commented upon , and Edounrd Strauss is
the only non-French foreigner who has np-
[ icarad In public in Berlin In an un-ofilcial
capacity , wearing the Insignia of French
decoration. The Bcrhners seem pleased nt
this and applaud him heartily.

LONDON , Juno 11. [ Nuw York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Bin. : | Several Lon
don papers are suggesting to the government
to withdraw all the compensation clauses
which have raised such n storm throughout
the country , I may go further and Inform
fou that the government has already made
up its mind to withdraw these clauses almost
unconditionally , aud that other surrenders
will follow. Once moro the ministry have
lad to glvo way to the liberal-unionists
who rebelled ngalnst Chamberlain and
gave the ministers warning If clauses
were pressed they would vote with Glad
stone. Any price must bo paid to avert that.
Chamberlain defended the clauses nnd the
government thought they wcro safe. It now
turns out , small as Chamberlain's party is , ho
cannot manage it. Overboard go the clauses
and Chamberlain Is left in a singularly fool
ish position. This is a very serious blow for
the minority and something worse is
to come. The temperance inter
ests have been strenuously stirred
up nnd to appease it the liquor dealers have
been sacrificed. But now It Is their turn.
As a rule they have supported the conserva
tive party. They are worse off under it
than they would bo under liberal rule ,
Ritchie's bill will add 20 per cent to their
licenses and exposes them to the risk of
hnvinpr their houses closed on Sundays
nnd holidays , nnd places them under
control of country counsels. Their worst
enemies could not do much moro
by way of beginning. Is it to be supposed
that they will sit down quietly and bear this
from the men for whom they-vote ? No !
They will get up an agitation and withdraw
tholr support from the conservatives , come
to terms with the liberals and so try nnd
so try and get some security for the future ,
for these compensation clauses one way and
and anotticr would lese one-third of the con
servatives their scats if we hud an election
next week.
The approaching election at Ayr is , I hear
on excellent authority , already lost.
Ono more liberal unlonistscnt will bo trans
ferred to the Gladstonians. At this rate
where will Chamberlain's party bo a year
hence. So much for the first results of this.
The local government bill has just been
sent on Its perilous voyage through
the committee. All the torics are
sere about it. Why have they
been dragged into this mess ? Why could not
the government huvo left the whole subject
nlonoi Loud are their complaints and rcpin-
inps , but Lord Salisbury sits up aloft and
hears them not. This is one result of having
the prima minister In the house of lords. Ho
is far removed from his followers andgimgcs
publu ; opinion by the London uewspnpcrs
nnd by the reports of party whips.
Ho forgnts that both are seasoned
to suit his palate. All who are now in
this position are angry with the ministry.
The liberal-unionists would desert it to
morrow if they could find safer anchorage ,
The temperance interest has gained a great
victory ; the drini : interest will bo furious ;
all the supporters of some check being
placed upon the drink traffic , will oppose the
conservative party at future elections. What
a specatclo Is this. As soon ns the ministry
got into its boasted English legislation it
drifted toward the rocks. The cry of "tho
union Is In danger , " will not do much for It
now. I think the people generally are getting
n little tired of that cry. It has been re
peated too often nnd on such frivolous occas
ions that it begins to fall on deaf cars.
This rash and blundering intermeddling
with the drink trade has driven the ques
tion out of sight and was the best thing
that could hnp | > cn ; but as for Ireland , con
sidcrinK the dead lock to which her affairs
have been brought , the Irish members carnet
not do better for her than leave the govern
mcnt to muddle tilong with Its local govern
mcnt bill as how it can , settling with its
own supporters on the numerous
subjects of difference that inus
Inevitably arlso , Irish interference
would again unite the liberal-unionists ant :
conservatives. Parnell is always about the
house but seldom In it. His followers might
for the present wisely follow his example.
A cloud Is growing in another quarter in
Bpito of all tbo smooth talk. The Salisbury
and Stanhope people are getting really dis
quieted about the condition of the army and
navy. If they only knew the truth , that wo
have no powder in the country for our largi
guns , no Ironclads that can bo trusted fa :
off port.no adequate reserve stores , no prope
ridesaU facts brought out In the rccen
parliamentary committees but as yet hidden
from the public. They know enough , how
ever , to convince them all is not well with
their afftlrs. They suspect the existence in
public departments of jobbery and corruption ,
Day by day some fact or other Is coming t
light which proves that there is a flavor o ;
the metropolitan board of works In most o :
our great state bureaus. Fresh cases of ex
travagonco in thewur oftlco and Jobbery eve
contracts will shortly bo brought _ out. The
grossest mismanagement at the nd ml rally
offices will be exposed. Can the government
meet these Indictments by cut nnd dried of
ficial evasions or delusive denials ! I doubt it.
The facts will bo too strong for that method
of treatment. Depcndupon Itwo arc on the eve
of ono of these great popular uprisings
against long standing abuses which break
out occasionally In all countries , and carry
everything before them. The people have
not realized that their money is not only ex
travagantly , but in many instances dishon
estly made away with. As soon as they
clearly sco that down will go the whole
house.
The exposure of the metropolitan board of
works , which I long ago prepared you for , Is
having a great effect on the public mind.
The people believed in Its integrity ; they
now find that It was what some
of UB always supposed. The Idea Is abroad
that copruptlon has spread its taint far nnd
wide In the public service. Every now fact
that comes to light will deepen this Im
pression. I can only say that many such
facts must bo disclosed before the session Is
over , If Lord Salisbury keeps in office. The
ncn who defend or palliate gross abuses ; ho
will not save cither them or himself. We
shall perhaps hear something of these things
icxt week , A MuMiiun or PAUMAMCNT.

Herald Cable Special to Tun BF.E. ] Mr.
Carnegie's coaching party arrived hero this
evening it few minutes nfter the old clock
In the old market placa had struck eight.
The clear blast of the Carnegie coach-
img horn rang out throuRh the air a
few seconds later , nnd the coach had drawn
up In front of the ancient hostclryi n P'c- '
turcsquo Queen Anne building bearing the
sign "Angel Hotel and Posting House. "
The party found Peterborough , a typical
ald-fushioncd English town with 21-
000 inhabitants , who mainly take
a lively interest in fat cattle and horses nnd
are duly impressed with the respectability
of living in a cathedral city. It is a mar
ket town and to-day was market day. In
consequence the people were out en masse.
As the couch drove along the party
found all sorts of entertainments
going on in the streets. The Salvationists
wcro holding an excited meeting at ono end ,
which Mr. Blainc gazed on with interest ,
nnd the whole of the high street was filled
with booths which attracted the amused at
tention of Gall Hamilton. The market place
presented a sight which impressed itself upon
he whole party. This was the sight the
party saw every inch covered with stalls
In the background.
The old mm ket hall , dating back to 1071
nnd behind that the very handsome church
of St. Johns , built in the flfcecnth
century. On the other side stood ,
the magnificent cathedral , s > o well known to
American tourists as u masterpiece of grace
ful architecture , partly in the Norman and
partly jn the .early English stylo. Color was
lent lo the scene by an Italian woman in full
native costume who told the yokels fortunes
and did n thriving trade. Far away down
every street crowds of peasants
in holiday attire were coming in to
do their Saturday night errands.
Mr. Clifton , the genial proprietor , a typo
-of old sporting posting house tavern keeper ,
in a clean white waist coat , nnd supported by
his staff , was at the door of the Angel as
the coach drove up to bid his distinguished
guests welcome to Peterborough. How
did they look ? Tno whole party presented
the picture of health. As they left London on
Thursday , so each appeared to-day , except
that they were all much browner. Mr.
Blaine himself was the especial picture of
health. He said : "I have not felt
better for years. " IIo got down oft
the coach with almost juvenile agility.
Mrs. Blaine and Miss Dodge also were look
ing very well. As for Mr. Carnegie , ho was
full of life and spirits.
"Hud he enjoyed himeolf i"
"Immensely ! the weather was splendid ,
the roads good nnd nil our party nro well and
delighted so far with their Midland drive.
Mr. Blaine has enjoyed excellent health and
all the ladies say it is the picas-
nntest beginning of any trip they have
ever made. This Is our third day
on the road nnd we have mndo about one
hundred and twenty miles , not a bad aver
age. This morning wo stopped at Ely View
cathedral , The English country is looking
gorgeous. To-morrow wo rest hero us I
make It a rule not to travel on Sundays
on Sunday week wo make a stop atDurhnm ,
and expect to reach Clung custle about the
end of the month. "
"And your horses , Mr. Carnaglo , nro they
keeping ! "
' 'Very well , nnd will get better every day.
I use the same team all the journey.
From London to Inverncsshlro is n long
drive with one team , but I have
not the least fear of "the horses tiring. Wo
work them easily. AVe have got time and
like to enjoy the scenery. The horses cer
tainly look as hard as nails , and indeed have
improved considerably since wo started. "
There was ouo very good sign the eager
ness with which the party rushed down into
the dining room. It was not a French din
jicr , but a good English country inn cookery-
young i jcks and green peas , rump steak nnd
good big solid pudding. It would huvo as
tonished the town friends of the party to
sco the way they demolished this
good plain food. It was u very merry dinner
party. Everybody had something to say oh
tlio experiences of the day. Mr. Ulalno und
Mr. C'urncglo kept the ball of feasting and
talking rolling with great vigor , The
scenery descriptions by Gail Hamilton can
bo best imagined by her family of readers.
"Early to bed nnd early to rise is our
motto , " said Mr. Carnegie , as the finger
bowls came in. "A good dinner and a
good night's rest Is necessary to people
who are out In the open air all day , You
want to know our programme. Well
we have done Hartford , Ely and
Peterborough , nnd now wo hope
to strike the Angel at Grant 1mm on Monday
evening , and then go on to Lincoln Poncas-

PAIIIS , June 9. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to Tun BKB. ] Boulangcr came
like Cicsar this WCCK ho saw , but ho
did not conquer. His long nnd wordy
manifesto In the chamber has not helped
his cause , while it showed the gen
eral in his true colors of a pretender. When
Boulangcr dropped his mask the monarchists
dropped theirs , declaring that they fought
with him , but not for him. There was much
significance in the speeches which Duo do la
Rochefoucauld and M. Jollbers followed up
the general's innnffesto. Charctto's stirring
protest was not made in vain.

HRUMX , Juno 9. The fall of Herr von
Puttkamer , vlco president of the Prussian
ministerial council nnd Prussian minister ol
the interior , has caused Immense jubilation
in the radical camp , Herr Reichstag , In the
Frcjsscnlge , ascribes his downfall directly
to IJs speech In the
landtn ? and closes an
exultant article with the exclamation r.
"Long live the kaiser. May God preserve
his strength. If
ho docs * o *
many other things in Prussia
and Prussia also will Improve. "
The satisfaction which the government
party derive from the 'kaiser's yielding to.
Prince Bismarck's representation that ifr ;
would never do to bo vetoing the qulnquln-
nlal parliament bill to furnish the radical op
position a pretext to boost that the kaiser
had sided with It against his own cabinet ]
nnd , the conservative majority , Is dampened ]
by the prospect of an imperial rescript. Tliff
Cologne Gazette and other govern mcnO
organs urge the emperor against )
doing anything likely 'to cause
further resignations. Herr Puttkamer never ,
had the full sympathy of the emperor until
the lattors decision to part with him bc >
tokens his determination to Impart to his
reign the stamp of his own independent con *
victlons. Herr von Puttkamcr's letter ol
justlllcatloo treated the mutter ns a persona )
one. It was not submitted to the cabinet.
The kaiser's reply Intimated that Herr
von Puttkamer had failed to convince
him. Priuro Bismarck visited Her von Putt
kamer to-day , but not the
emperor , so noth
ing is yet decided regarding Hcrr von , Putjt
kamcr's successor. The national liberals
want Herr Miquol , mayor of Frankfort or
Herr von Bennlgscn , preferring the former ,
to succeed. The radicals desire Hcrr WIntort
mayon of Dant7ig. Neither party is hopofuf
that the emperor will go so far to the left In
his choice , nnd it is doubtful whcathor any
leader would accept the position in the pres
ent uncertain state of affairs.
The emperor's Journey to Potsdam w
idealised by the loyalty of the people and 1m )
been treated In the same spirit by the Bjrlin
press- The finer weather of the past two
days has enabled him to spend much timeout
of doors to his great benefit , as it Is certain
that his removal to Potsdam caused n slight
relapse. His acpctito is still enfeebled by
heat and lassitude and the doctors are tryIng -
Ing to augment it. Dr. Loydeii has again
joined in the consultations. Dr. Hovell ro-
tunm at the '
emperor's special request as soon
as his private affairs will permit , The am-
pcror has decided that no summer fetes or
other festivities shall bo stopped on account
of his condition or the death of his father.
The empress during her tour of the flooded
district stopped nt Jonasdorg , Alton'fcldo

Klblng , Dlrschnu and Scncldenlshl , visiting
the flood sufferers and receiving the town

midnight to-night. Her majesty has sent n
kindly answer to the address presented to
her by the women nnd girls of Garlitz.

Intentions of increasing the duties on Hlitt-

effect upon the bounce , which was quiet ( lur

turbance which WUB caused by n minor that
the government contemplated a conversion
of 4 per cent Prussian cqiisoln into . ' " "per
cents. It is believed the minister of Franco
Is in favor of such a project , but the
present circumstances are not fuvorublo
for nn operation of such magnitude. Gor1-
