I BimiK , July 7. [ Now York Herald
Cable-Special to Tun 15ir. : . ] Politics are
II still nt fever heat in Germany. Hcrr
Fourth's selection , or rather promotion , ns
'
TI' minister of the interior should not hnvo sur
prised any ono .In Prussi-n. It is the rule ,
rather thnn the exception , for ministers to bo
highly trained pleaders without paity
claims , but Uien In Prussia , and now in Gcr.-
many , ministers nro so seldom changed
that between thd changes precedents
nro forgotten. Herr Fourth's promotion ,
there-fore , came like ) i htnlng from clear
sky. The papers hnvo ever slnco bcdn full
Of theories nnd surmise1 * ns to why no got
the place. TJiQ general supposition nmong
IB outsiders is that His rtarck , in his usual pol
icy qf governing by division , feared that the
accession of the ypung conservative emperor
might milkc the conservative party strong
cuough to bo Independent of him , and that
therefore he was not unwilling to wit-
ricss p'uttkamer's firccd resignation. The
Jong delay in api , 'nting ' the new minis
ter is thought * to bo the result of a
struggle between Hinmnrck. wishing n na
tional liberal minister , nndtlio conservatives
intent only on Puttnmkoi' or some other wire
puller strong in the conservative faith ,
Which , by the way , has Mlsmnrck for its
kej S'.OIIQ , but discards Gaunt Herbert Bis-
inarck , The Krnz Xoiturtg and Other Innu-
r ' * ft cntial conservative papers lent themselves to
m this theory by printing such extraordinary
suggestions as that the letter from Freder *
ick III. , which caused Puttumkcr's ab-
lupl fall was a forged ono forged , nnd Hent
after- the kaiser had ceased to care for
politics. To outsiders the appointment wns
n neutral one , and came naturally as n proof
of the long deadlock between the conserva
tives and 'national liberals. Its influence
ended In Bismarcklan defeat. The conserva
tive papers , too , nt once hot up the cry that
Hcrr Fourth was merely keeping the place
warm for some one of the true faith. It is
cxticmcly doubtful whether this view "is
correct. It seems at lca t possible that the
young kaiser , in his first impoitant
appointment , has shown his grand
father's quick perception of character and
enriched Germany by uneai thing a steady ,
highly trained , non-paitisan minister brought
up In the department he now controls and
able to accomplish its scivico to the last
touch of clllcicncy.
Tlio dissolution of the Cai tcl election agree
ment has also caused endless gossip. The
agreement between the national liberals
nnd conservatives nmilo for the scptcnnato
relehstag elections gave the former
largo increases In numbers. The national
liberal secession , say the radicals , Is
merely n trick to save themselves
from heavy losses at the approaching landtag
elections. So much is certain that Iho con
BCI vativo nlltunco has cost them many Prus
t ' sian votes , and that iu Prussia , nt least , It
Bcoms that in ordinary elections there will bo
no room for the liberal paity which votes
with the conservatives. The secession Is not
likely to effect Bismarck's Caitcl iclclistug
majority.
The kaiser's proposed Russian trip , np
pointed by the bourse , U highly disapproved
by many of his subjects. The Yolks
Kcltuncr , for Instance , gives two columns to
tnii wni nlng that "Only Germany and its allies
can save the freedom of the old world Irom
thodevnstntiiiK horde of half Asiatic Slavs , "
r.nd that this may separate Gcriiiiiny from
her allies. The tenor of the comment made
hero on such ni tides Is that lho\ ignore that
widely known fact that wjiilo Franco re-
ninlnta a great poucr Russia will not advance
to Constantinople , but that Fiance out of the
way , Germany can , when needed , have all
Europe ns nn ally ngiilnst Russia. Other
papers preach because Count Luttichan , who
notlllcd the accession of Frcdcilck III. , saw
the c/ar for only llvo minute ; , nnd received
the nniicx otdcr of the second class , while
General Pnpc , who did n similar service tor
the present emperor , talked with the czar
for nn hour and received a high Russian or
der us a Itcopsako.
Many odd commonU nro mnde on Bis-
marek's probable nbscnco from the imperial

boil accordingly goes to Russia with the

W. Moore , managing editor of thq Post-Dis

manager of tlie Gland opera house and the

Moore and Mrs. Norton at the corner of
Lucas and Jefferson avenues and attempted
to shoot Mooie , but was disarmed bv a
friend. Mrs. Nui ton ycstci day removed her
monjuy and other valuables from a safe do

Special to Tun Bui } . ] The interest of the

and literary. Half the week has been spent
in savage nbuso of the weather , and the
other half in the criticising of Daudet and
the academy.
Since hret Saturday not a single day has
passed without rain and wind or thunder.

Alphonse DaudetV neW novel "IVImmor-
tel , " which bus Just appeared in book form ,
marks the author's dcllnlta renunciation of
nil academical aspirations if ever ho had any.
After reading Dauclct'B merciless satire or
tlio petty jealousies , intriqucs , rivalries and
sins which llouiish behind the scenes of tlio
venerable institute , no member of the im

and the Duchess do Radovan , they arc terri

' One of Baudot's character's informs us that

Is a , little too much personal rancor in L' Im-

Sai all is to play Romeo to Mrs. James
Brown Potter's Juliet In Paris next year , so
the grande tragedienne says , and when she
resolves to do n thing she generally does it
unless , of course , she changes her mind.
Sarah was , when I called to sco her , in ex
cellent health nnd spirits , n couple of days
ngo nt her pretty little hotel on the Boule
vard Pcreicr. She was dicsscd in n
charming violet plush tea-gown.
"Yes , for four years longer , " replied Mine.
Bernhardt. Then , with n vivacious glance
at Mrs. Potter , who was sitting near her ,
Bho exclaimed , "Abbey has nil tlio good ar
tists , you know. "
"That reminds mo , I am thinking of play
ing Romeo hero to Mrs. Potter's Juliet dur
ing the exhibition yoar"rhapsodlcally added
the tragedienne. "Mrs. Potter is my ideal
Juliet. She has such n girlish face and llg-
urc well , exactly what I always looked for
in Juliet. I hear , too , she is
so good in tragedy. I feel sure
our Romeo mid Juliet will make a
hit , don't you ? Wo shall net in French
here , of course , but a little later when I hnvo
perfected myself In English wo shall play It
in America in the original. "
"For the next twelve months , " said Sarah
when her visitor had rallied from his sur
prise , "Mis. Potter will study to perfect her
French accent. I shall do the same with my
English. .Meanwhile I start for London on
Satuiday. My husband , M. Damala , will nc-
compuny me , but wo shall not act together
until October , when wo begin our European

the ferryboat Hnckcnsack of the Hobokcn
ferry , hud a thrilling experience yesterday.
Ho heard n groan In the engine-room , and
Hinging up the sliding door saw Morris Dcnn ,
one of the firemen , lying prostrate on the
mnssivo Iron crank with his face as white as
chalk. His eyes had a wild glare In them
nnd ho wns trembling like n leaf. The en-
gince" called to the man to get up. Dcnn
did ( io , and then Hung himself ngaln on his
perilous perch , and thrusting his arm down
Into the depths , exclaimed wildly : "I want
to go down there. "
Two or three men were standing outside
the narrow door. "Como In nnd get him
out , " said Dwier. They Bquee/ed In through
the narrow aperture and with great dldlcuUy
rescued lenn ) , who weighed Dot ) pounds , from
his dangCrousposltion. When they took hold
of him his hands were ns cold as Ice , though
they were dripping- with peisniration. IIo
lay inert as le.ul , nnd they bait to lift him
bodily over the iron railings that guarded the
pit in which tlio cranks swung round. One
turn of thpso wheels would have ground the
mailman to pulp or hurled him n
bleeding mass llftecu feet below. It
wns n blood-curdling sight the niaunmn
hugplng the heavy cranks which work the
padillo wheels , and 'which would Iling him to
nn awful death , mangling him to n pulp , if
ho wore . not torn from his resting place.
Panting and sweating the three men finally
work'ed him off the terrible crilnks nud
through the narrow door on to the dock.
"When they placed hUri on the dock 11 whisky
bottle , half empty fell from his pocket.
Denu died At the hospital last- night , refusing
to speak n word. Ho was 43 years old , nnd.
loaves a wife and two children destitute ,
without money enough to pay his funeral cx-
pciise/8.
A Straiij-o Mirror.
The old city of Rouen , in Franco , has a
pretty sight that is worth describing to your
crowd of young folks. The little men nnd
miiids nro fond of looking-glnsses , I know ,
but I doubt if they nil have licnVd of the
queer ono of which I shall now tell them.
Near the west door of the church of St.
Oucn , in the city of Rouen , is a marble basin
filled with water. It is so placed that the.
water acts us a mirror , and In the face of it
ono sees all the Insldo of tbo church. Look
doWn into the water und you sco the pillars ,
and the ceiling , nmt tl o ntcturcR nud ttatu-
nry , and npnily nil the interior ornamenta
tion of tlio building , The stately basin
seems to take pride in holding Us beautiful
pictuicof the church.
Both Knew II All.
During the trial of n c.isc In the supreme
court recently , in which distinguished coun
sel were engaged , the two had been em
ployed in arguing n law polnf.
"There is nothing in that , " sail ono ; "I
have examined into it and know. "
"Obi" unswcied the opposing counsel , "you
know everything , you do. "
"No , " quietly retorted the first lawyer , "I
don't know everything , but you and I to
gether do. "
"What do you mean , sir ? "
"Why , you know overj thing except that
you are u dnuiphool , and 1 know that. "

The proposal docs not involve the occupation ,
of Iho country by Russia , The candl.la.to
for the Bulgarian throne is to bo Appointed ,
by nn ambassadorial conference to bo held
nt Vienna or Constantinople ! . U thcso terms
are accepted the cznr will order the army
corps mustering on the Austrian nud German
Ironticr.s back Into the Interior.
Prince Bismarck , at the cabinet meeting
yesterday , stated thcso proposals , nnd said '
that ho believed they offered a chiinco for the
peaceful solution of the question , nud that ho
intended to respond by going to St. Peters
burg if the Austrian government coincided -
in liis viuwH.
A Warsaw paper , the acknowledged organ
of General Ghnurke , asserts that the na-
tionnl pnity , With whom the czar must .
reckon , is determined to reap the fullest ro-
suits for the blood and inonoy cx-pcndcd ja

been vanquished by the combined French '
and Russian forces the Poles will once moro
