Although notice of action 1ms been cntcied In the Berlin land- gcrlcht , our couit of first Instance , against the editor ot the Deutrcho Uundschau , the Judicial authorities have not yet decided upon the exact cause of prosecution. The public prosecutor has not settled upon what clause In the penal code to proceed , and.tho minister of Justice Is In a quandary as to whom to prosecute. The manager of the Deutsche Jtundsehnu has surrendered the name of Hcrr OcffcUIn , of Hamburg , as that of the person through whom ho obtained the diary of Emperor Frederick. Hcrr Gcffp- kin has been a professor at Strasbourg , and resided fcr several jcars at Berlin , Whore ho became known to Frederick. After ward ho became a frequent contributor to English papers and magazines. If the trial threatens to rovcal the original source , Prlnco Bismarck may hesitate atout proceed Ing. Prince Bismarck is known to suspect the English court as the source of publica tion j hence the language of his statement Is directed against that court. The Berlin Post says , even at the risk of damaging the memory of Frederick by laying bare his lamentable weaknesses , that the in tcrcsts of the empire required the disclosure that the crown prince , far from being an active promoter of German unity , formed the most sci ious obstacle to it. The Borsen Courier , an organ of the liber- uiists , better represents the genuine public fccllnghci o in saying : "It excites lively aston ishment to sec the press assail Emperor Fred- ' trick with such scant respect. The emperor must bo revolted at the conduct of the pco plo who are trying to please him by reviling his father. Those who are throwing dirt on the memory of Frederick must Judge "Will iam II. meanly if they suppose that their criticisms excite in him anything but loath ing and contempt. " It Is a significant fact that the press , con current with the tenor of private discussion Hoes not question the authenticity of the diftry. The reasons that Prlnco Bismarck advances against its genuineness are felt to bo Insincere , ana arc completely ignored out Bide of tbo official world. The stories pub lished In the French papers of a vlolcn quarrel between the EmproaH Frederick and the Emperor William , and that the forme fears that spies are set on her movements , are certainly false. It is ofQclally announced to-night that sin will shortly proceed to Kiel , where she wll rcrnaltxafoitnlght. On October 13 she wil Jay the foundation stone of Emperor Fred- crick's mausoleum. She will afterward gen on a visit to Scotland , and will bo accoin panjcd by the princesses. The programme for the emperor's visit t Rome is unsettled. Count Von Soms-IIon- ncnwaia , German cmbnssador to the quir- inal , was summoned to a conference at Friodorichsruho Just at the moment of start ing to resume his post at Koino. The vuntl- can is dissatisfied with the neutral result of Prlnco Bismarck's negotiations with Signor Crisp ! and Count Kalnoky , and demands n formal nssmnncc that the emperor's visit will not imply a recognition by the German government tint Komo Is the capital of the Italian kingdom. In the coming landtag elections the na tional liberals and conservatives of Berlin and other populous centers will unite In sup port of common candidates. The national liberals nro confident of increasing the num ber ot their members from 71 to 'JO , The failure of the harvest in Germany Is attracting serious attention. There is a poor crop of both cereals and potatoes. The price of bread is rapidly rising. Since 1SS7 rye has advanced 43 marks and wheat ill marks. In some districts bakers have raised the prlco of bread 10 pfennigs per pound. Hcrr Rlchtor , in an article In the Liberal Zcltung , calculates that Germany will re- qulio 13,000,000 hectolitres of grain to meet the deficiency. The people , ho says , must therefore demand an Immediate diminution of the duty on cereal imports. The progress ists mtrna to actively agitate the question. Tbo ofilcial press contends tnat the duties have slight influence , compared with nutuial causes , on the course of prlcos , and that In stability In ngrarnln legislation would lead to worse results than an occasional rise in Vread values.

A GREAT POLITICAL SENSATION. Much Sympathy Expressed In Eng land * "or the Ill-Fated Author. IRON CHANCELLOR UNMASKED. A Wave of Indignation Swoops Over the Entire Kingdom. ADMIRATION TURNS TO SCORN. The Part Taken By Prince Bismarck In the German Unification Made Apparent to the World. A European Sensation. fCopi/rtuM lfS3 liu James Gnnlon B wic.l ( LONDON , Sept. 29. [ New York Herald Cable Special to Tun BEE. ] Nothing has been recently talked of but the diary of the late Emperor Frederick , To find that it was not really Piinco Bismarck who was the cre ator of the new German empire , but the rown prince , on whom ho affected to look down , are materials for sensation such ns uropo has not known since the outbreak of , ho war which made the unification of Ger many possible. Ono who is well acquainted with the secrets of the court circle informed mo some weeks ago that the utmost bitter ness was felt at every recollection of the late mperor's policy and aims. Ills son has per milled himself to speaK of those alms in the most disrespectful language. The idea of extending remorse , of enlarging public liber- , ies , of removing the shackles from ho press , Is as odious to Emperor William as t over has been to Prlnco Bismarck himself. These projects wcro in the mind of Emperor 'rcderlck ' , who , through his active life , hade : o fight against Bismarck , who treated him with as much contempt ns ho could safely venture to display. Bismarck lost no oppor- , unity of manifesting his dislike to the young man , who not only refused to accept the minister's plans , but absolutely had the au dacity to conceive plans of his own. In all .his can any ono see "the weak hand moved only by a woman } " That was Bismarck's de scription of the late emperor to the friend of miuo above referred to. The woman , the widow of the emperor , is ndecd known to bo the ablest of the English royal family the ono who Inherits the lion's share of the sagacity and shrewdness of her father , Prince Albert. She has not in any way brought about the publication of this tell-tale diary ; but surely she would have been Justified In doing so , If only because it vindicates both herself and her husband from a torrent of heartless calumnies whiqb has been set loose upon Europe for months. It is useless to conceal the fact that the differences between the English court and Pi Inco Bismarck have long been of a very serious character. Iho firmness of the late emperor , hia policy of progress nnd his repugnance to mere physical force as a means of government were all ascribed by Bismarck to the overruling influence of his English wife. Bismarck saw In everything the Influence of nn evil genius , and that evil genius came from England. Hence hodicadcd the accession of Frederick to the throne. Hence the sinister stories which wcro spread abroad during his melan choly exile at San Rcino. Hence , also , the hostility which was constantly shown toward the empress by the court party in Berlin a hostility which the death of her husband did nothing to soften. I am assured by one who cannot bo deceived on the point that Prlnco Bismarck said not long ago ; "Wo must do nil we can to obliterate every trace of the short and disgracofu reign of the late emperor. " Ho permits himself a much wider latitude of expression In regard to the empress. All this is wel known to the English court , and it must have added not a llttlo to the sufferings which her daughter's terrible bereavement brought upon the queen. Then , too , it is a well-known fact that the estrangement o : the present cmpcior from his mother is of an almost hopeless character. Among the sorrows of Frederick's heavy laden life sorrows berne with heroism without a parallel In the history of the greai not the least was that caused by a veriflca tion of his foreboding. Ills son fell entirely under the dominion of Prince Bismarck , Europe wondered not at this when 1 believed that Bismarck was th < author of German unity , bu now that ho is removed from this pedestal , and the figure of Emperor Frederick placed therein in bis stead , what are men to think and tosuyi The shell exploded In the Deutsche Rund schau has not been long in sending n tremor through the English ministry , as ono will at once Infer from the article in the Standard. The editor has evidently gone again in an obedient spirit to Lord Salisbury for inspira tion , und wo see the result in a profuse en deavor to turn the wrath of Pnnco Bismarck from England. Lord Salisbury cannot possi bly have anything to apologize for , but bis newspaper almost goes upon Us knees. Of course it thinks the diary a forgery , and Prince Bismarck a most generous man. _ , Thus grinds the organ. But not thus think or speak the English public. They hold that the diary is authentic , and that Bismarck has either played or means to play a very deep game. Tbo father cannot como forth from the grave and tell us whether ho really thought his son -was an abominable traitor to htm ana to bis country. Tbo son is at an equally safe distance from the controversy. Nothing could be more con venient to the third party in it , who is loft complete liberty to assert what be pleases and to prosecute anybody In bis owu country who dares to disinter erldonco against him. The Empress Frederick is deeply afflicted at the publication of tbo diary , and can you wonder at It when yon eo the terrible cal umnies which PrlncoTJIstaarck nnd the Gor man court party are prflpnrcd to cast upon her husband calumnies which the English ministerial organ docs not hesitate In sub stance to repeat In its anxiety to turti aside the anger of the man who was ingenious enough to inveigle Franco Into the war of 18TOI This storm , which raged round the late emperor's dcathbqd , was n hundred fold more violent than the outsldo world yet dreams of , nnd now it Is renewed over his grave and Prince Bismarck , under a flimsy disguise , brings the most dreadful charge against the ill-fated monarch once more. Prince Bismarck has his adversary nt an overwhelming disadvantage. The Empress Ficderlck well know what would bo the re sult of any publication which provoked the German chancellor , nnd she would have moved heaven ana earth to prevent It , but I give you the positive information that Prince Bismarck believes that the blow which has made him stagger was dealt by an English : iand. Ho suspects tba Empress Frederick or some of her Immediate circle of having luddcnly undermined the great fabric of his 'ame. I believe that' exceedingly strong iirotcsts have been made from high quarters without affecting his opinion. This mood towards England is consequently more mplicablo than ever. This must bo taken ns n most serious fact. When Bismarck has wished to Inflict a deadly revenge , cither upon a man or a nation , has ho not invari ably found the means of accomplishing his ends ? Lot Count Arn'lm and scores of crip pled or ruined personal adversaries answer. Let Franco answer. Suppose him to bo In that frame of mind towards England , what Is to prevent him from carrying out h's ' pur pose once more ? The present German emperor lias been rained by Bismarck's master mind to detest England , though it was the and of his mother. The influence of that mother , as of the dead father , has long slnco disappeared. Hofls now as clay in the hands of a potter. The first thunder from Berlin still rolls In tllo pir. Rest assured , it s the beginning , not the end , of a tempest. England has many vulnerable places , and If Bismarck has made up Ills mind to strike she ian bo struck when , < where and how the subtle plotter of Fredctiohsruho may cheese to determine , with or without his own hand being seen. Meanwhile the profound pathos of nil the circumstances surrounding the Emperor Frederick's last dajsis deepened by the insight we' have bad into bis thought and mind. What must have been bis feeling on ascertaining beyond a doubt that all tbo great plans bo had formed ; all the far reaching designs .for the wrlfnro of his people , must come to nautzht. Ho bad prjparol himself by diligent study , by earnest thought , by a wisely or dered life for the solemn work of govern ment. Ho had frtith in his own purpose. 'A great career seemed tostiotch out before him. Then death suddenly stood in his path and beckoned. In ancient or modern annals there is no story more tragic. A MEMBEH OP PAHLUMEST. "Who Wrote the Diary ? LOXDOX , Sept. 29. [ Special Cablegram to Tun BEE. ] The Berlin correspondent of the Times believes Frederick's diary was re vealed by Dr. Geftnkon , of Hamburg , the confidant of Frederick and a frequent con tributor to English magazines on German politics. The Standard's Berlin corresdondent says : "If the person named by the Deutsche Rundscban proves to bo the contributor , an action will bo directed against him , probably for treason , in the supreme court at Loipsie. The publisher of Rundichan had 39,003 copies ready for sale. " Thinks Bismarck Has Blundered.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to Tun BEE. ] A blazing midsummer sun and weather Hue St. Mar tin's and exactly as we sometimes have dur- ng I ml Inn summer m America , has been warming and delighting Paris for the past ten days. News of cold , rainy weather in New York , daily cabled to the European Herald , makes the numerous American tour- sts hero feel nil the more comfortable. \mong the prominent Americans I saw this morning sauntering about the shady side of the boulevard are Judge Nelson , of Minnesota seta , E. Ellery Anderson , of New York , General Winslow , president of the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad , David King , of Now York , Gober Bishop , of New York , and Judge Townscml , president of the Union club , Mr. Frederick Gebhard and others. The theaters arc having a hard time of it , for besides the summer sunshine during the day , the nights are deliciously warm and the moon is nt Us full. Everybody drives out on the Bols do Boulogne at night and winds up the evening in open air concerts. The Champs Elysccs and the woods of St. Cloud , Marly and Fontalnblcau are overflowing with pretty llttlo Parlslannes in full summer attire. Paris is now perfectly delightful. Everybody lives in the open air. Politically everything centers In the publi cation of Emperor Frederick's diary. It is read everywhere with absorbing interest ; in clubs , railways , cafes , on the tops of omni buses , on the streets. There is no French man from Calais'to Marseilles who has not formed' ' "bis opinion about them. They feel that Europe has lost In Frederick a noble , ns as ho is called even in France , the one man who could have made Franco and Germany , friends and who could have uono fortho whole of Europe what Cavour did fpf Italy ; unite all states in peaceful commercial union and do awny with the crushing burdens of the present enormous armies. The venom and avidity with which Bismarck attacks the memory of tbp crown prince , his repressive measures to stifle all further publications , tbo pains ho takes to refute the charges that remove him from the pedestal of founder of the German unity- all this convinces the French people not only that tbo diary is a revelation of truth , but on the principle "Qui s'cxcusa s'acccuso" Bismarck really winces beneath the Judg ment whicb a dead hand has pronounced upon him and ho is no longer the man the world believed him to be. Bismarck's letter to the Emperor William Is felt here to bo a most violent and uncalled for attack and shows that the emperor's life was ono long struggle against the autocratic ideas and feudalism of Bis marck , who disgusts all Frenchmen by the way in whlcn ho speaks of "I and tbo crown prince" and the personal animos ity that permeates his entire letter. Bis marck , by rushing into print , has certainly put his foot in it More elaborate frocks have been finished for Mrs. Langtry. The most magnificent is jn white velvet , stamped with very largo branches of iris in glistening gold material , the wrong side being literally in cloth ol gold. The low necked corsage is trimmed wi h puffings of yellow green satin and with a fringe in green and gold. Another evening dress is In pale silver grey satin , brocaded with largo clusters of tea roses in their natural hues. The skirt breadths part In front to show a narrow line of gold yellow watered silk finished at the hem with n bunch of narrow watered ribbons of the same color. Very delicate and exquisite Is a ball dress in tulle of a palo Ophelia lilac , the front veiled in straight widths of tulle , the sldo breadths cuvcrcc with narrow plaited flounces spangled will silver and the back of the slcirt adorned with two long widths of lilao faille baried vrrtic ally with bands of dark red velvet. 'A. vcri marvelous dress has the front and eldo wlthsof the skirts In a heavy cream white hue do solo embroidered by hand around the lower half In a largo bowknot and ficlt flowcrsi intermixed with dragon flics am scattered leaves in black and colored silks and many colored metallic spangles the scattered 3 leaves finishings the design Just above the hem ami being workcc in sapphlro blue. The spangle bank of the skirt is composed of superposed widths o black tulle , and the corsage is of the same material. A toillctte in gold yellow Latin has tbo lower half of the skirt front hung with amber homphllls and n band of the same oinamcnts passes down the side width. The ruins of the Palais d'Oraay ' are to bn preserved as a perpetual warning to future generations. All visitors to Paris remember these magnificent ruins. The munlclpa council of Paris has decide. ! to place upon the ruins of the Coeur dc Comptes a marble tablet with th following inscription : "The munlcloa council ot Paris , in order to Inspir Frenchmen with horror of internal dlsscn. ions and in order that the memory of the Isnstrous days cf the commune may over be n warning In the minds of the people , has otcd : "Article 1.

" A curious case of sulcldo occurred yester day In a llttlo house quite near Traekadero. A youngster named Eugene Bloc , fourteen years of age , fell in love with a plaster cast of Venus that was in his father's house. Young Kngcno gazed nt the stntuo for hours and hours , nnd.would getup nights to look nt t. This lasted a month. The father became angry and said , "You do not work snd you neglect your studies , " and ho broke the statue to pieces. Eugcno was so nlTcctcd that ho went to his bed room , twisted n sheet around his neck and strangled himself. The next morning the lifeless bony of the young Pygmalion was found by the parents , I am told that there is no truth In the re ported engagement of Miss McFalrsh to the Duke of Norfolk. They met at the house of the Duchess of Leeds and the duke admired the young Baltimorcan , but an engagement has not yet been arranged. In novelty of designs , Mangusto has cre ated Langtry n hat. Five of this design were packed off to the steamer Alaska on Friday. They wcro grey-eyed , brown and black. They were pinned upon the left side in n cavalier fashion and caught up high on ono side with largo birds and feath ers. On the red hat wore black birds and on the black , dark green cock's feathers. The grey felt was very pretty with a hirondcllo do mere. A light brown of the same shape was decorated with n chouctto. Mrs. Frederick Varnderbilt has been luxuriating in some of Marln's crea tions. An evening gown to bo worn in Now York was an exquisite shade of palo green satin with court train bordered with n band of embroidery of gold , white and silver. The petticoat of white satin was entirely covered with an embroidery of gold and sil ver. The waist was fastened by a China crepe scarf of oia rose color embroidered in pale colors and gold. A tea gown for Mrs. Vandcrbilt was probably the most unique of this year's designs. The back of the gown was of old rose crepe , embroidered with garlands of roses and green leaves over a petticoat 6f iilainTose China crepe and from the waist to the bottom of the skirt wcro loops of blrick ninl'grccn nioiro ribbons.

' } LONDON , Sept. 20. [ Now York Herald Cubic Special to TUB BEE. ] The utmost surprise Is expressed hero among the sport ing fraternity that Fox's deposit with the Her ald , of $5,000 , has been covered. They nra nil agog to know who the mysterious indi vidual is and by whom the funds have been provided. Tills afternoon a number of Amer ican sporting gentlemen , who begged that their names bo kept out of print , were dis cussing the question at u well known bar not a dozen miles from Pieadilly circus. They ono nnd all summed it up that the unknown was Pat Killcn. They seemed so certain , that their opinions must have been founded on very excellent grounds. A llttlo later in the day I called upon Prof. Donolly. Nod , ns everybody knows , was Kilraln's second iu the fight with Jem Smith and Is further the author of self-del'cnso nnd the art of boxing. Ho always know the secrets in most matters connected with the ring. Ned looked In splendid form , but perhaps a wee bit over weight. "Well Ned , " I said , "who is the great un known who will cover Editor Fox's 5,000 deposited nt the Herald ofllco in Paris. " Without hesitation Ned replied : "Pat Killcn , of courso. I will bet n hundred to ono on It. Ho fights a glove fight to-day with Wunnop. Ho Is tbo unknown. Myself and n lot of friends were talking about it to day and wo all agreed that it must bfl hiuj. " "What do you think of html" ' ' "They sny ho Is n good man. I consider Kilrain the best man in the world , but 'bo must flcnt quick. " "What do you mean by thatl" "I moan that ho is not young. One's aga tells against us In the ring.Vo loose Jt'no quickness of the young ones. You sco every body has been treating Kilrain with kind ness. Luxury kills' them. Look at Han- Ion. " "Suppose Sullivan wore the challenger. " "No , no , no , " replied ho emphatically. "A thousand to ono it is not Sullivan , Ho in no use against Kilrain. " Perhaps McCaftery. " "No , not him olthor. I toll you it is Pot Killcn. " "Why not Mitchell ! " Ned looked rather scornfully at bisques- tlonor'H Ignorance , but suppressing nn ex pression replied more calmly than was ex pected : "Mitchell is not good enough , nor strong1 enough. He can beat Sulliuan. Ho did so in France , and Idlratn could have licked Sullivan in his best days. " , I next called upon Pony Moore , the father- In-law of Mitchell. When the subject was mentioned Mr. Moore grow very excited : "Who do you think puts up tbo cash ) " I asked. "If it is anybody at. nil , " ho replied , his ample white shirt bedecked with diamonds , "it is .Tohnson Jjynch nnd Kllby , who wer left behind Jn the Mitchell-Sullivan fight. They promised violence to myself , Mitchell and Kilrain. This is possibly what they art after now. " "Might it not bo Killcn ! " Mr. Moore looked up quickly nnd there wn fire in his eye when ho replied : "I don'tcara who it is. Sullivan , Klllccn or Dcmpsey. Kilrain can beat any of them. As for Sulli van , ho is dead enough. If it Is Killon ho is in for n Jolly good hiding. " "Then you have a good opinion of Kll- rniril" "Yes , Just so good that I will back him for Just as many thousand dollars as they nan find to put up. " I found that stockoy little boxer , Cat Mulllns , ut bis rooms in Regent street. Around the rooms were innumerable prints of famous boxing men nnd photographs Of Mitchell , Smith and Kilrain with their auto graphs beneath the pictures , and the colors of each of them lightened up the walls , 'it set Cat thinking , when asked who the un known could be. "No , " ho said , scratching tils cuticle , "no , it is nobody from this side of the water. H Is cither Joe Lannon or Jack Ashton or John ston the Brooklyn man. I think most proba bly it would bo Jack Ashton , as when ho was sparring over here with Sullivan ho nald l.o would challenge Kilrain. Ashton Is a good man but not of the same class as Kilrain. Charley Mitchell was down to Brighton , so his opinion was not available , and Join Smith has , according to bis eronles , not been board of for weeks past. " A Letter Front Fox. | Cop/rta | / > it lisa bu Jama Ounlin HeniuUJ PATHS , Sept. 23. [ New York Horata Cubic Special to TUB BBB. ] Richard K ; Fox writes the following to the Europeaa Herald : "Tho depositors of stakes against Kllraln muit name the unknown , othorwiaa no notice will wo taken of their challenge. The business , if meant straight , should hava been done through the Herald office In NQW York. If the name is not received by mid night of Sunday , September 30 , at tbo Herald office in New York or Paris , I claim Kilral * ai the ctiamplorx of tbu world. "
