Bnui.ix , Nov. 3. The Relchsanzeigor
to-night states that the Emperor
William's recent reply to the Berlin muni
cipal committee , In spite of the unmistakable
clearness of Its meaning , has caused some mis
leading and malicious misrepresentation in a
portion of the Berlin press , particularly In
the free-thinking and the ultramontane or
gans. It appears that these Journals at
tempted , after a preconcerted plan , to misrep
resent the bearings of the emperor's state
ments. The emperor commands it
to bo explicitly declared that
it was the spirit and the
natter of the free-thinking Journals which
woumlcd his feelings. His majesty bad con
cluded from the relations In which the mu
nicipal committee stand to this portion of
the press , that they wcro in n position to
bring about a cessation of those statements
which elicited his majesty's censure , mid
would also bo disposed to do so in accordance
with the sentiments they expressed In their
address to the emperor.
The little Interest evinced among the vo
ters In the Prussian elections does not In
crease. Complete returns nro awaited with
n keen dcgrco of curiosity. So far as can
bo Judcod from the returns from
different parts of the monarchy already
known , It Is Improbable that the relative
strength of the parties will bo much
changed In the now districts , though It Is
Just possible that the national liberals will
gain u few scuts nt the expense of the con
servatives and frelslnnlgen. The present
position of the parties Is : United conscrva-
ttves , 04 ; national liberals , 7-3 ; froislnnlgcn ,
40 ; clericals , OS ; Poles , 13 , and independ
ents , 14.
Apart from the elections and the popular
attention tnecessarily evoked by the em
peror's visits to Lcipslc , Stuttgart ,
Munich and other places , much intcr-
. cst is evinced In the recent anti-
German outpourings of the French and
Italian press. While the people of Berlin
treat tbcso as perfectly comprehensible
outbursts of French spleen , they do not fern
n moment regard thctn seriously. Yet it
cannot bo gainsaid that newspaper polemics
overstep the verge of discretion , more
especially in view of the strained situation
between historic enemies. Whatever the
powers may do to insure the continuance of
peace , their efforts are sadly discounted by
the systematic efforts of the French nation
nnd press to irritate publio feeling. The
Llberto , In the course of ajtwo-column art !
clo , rakes up the Schnaebcio incident ,
the llaon L'Etapo shooting affray and the
passport regulations , and bolsters up the
charge against the Germans of rank bar-
bftrlsmwhile the language employed towards
*
Germany's ally , Italy far exceeds the limits
of legitimate controversy. The inevitable
tendency of such an ill-judged press crusade
ntntlmo when the maintenance of peace Is
at the mercy of any chance incident Is evi
dent to the Berlin people , who feel that if
war Is to bo averted it is necessary for the
French press to adopt less blatant tactics. It
was the 'press , primarily , which wa <
responsible for the catastrophe of 1S70.
It In now adopting a similar course , and
unless n stop is nut to the systematic in
Ihimlng of the publio mind the same results
may bo expected to follow. The tone of the
Parisian organs Is nil Iho more Ill-judged , because
cause many Germans may visit the Paris
exhibition next year , nnd unless the inclt
ings of French publio prints against Gcr-
mnnv bo abandoned the heat of public feel ,
ing may lead to Incidents which will cul
initiate In a casus belli.
' The , Havre Incident was finally settled to
day. The escutcheon was placed ever
the German embassy in the presence
of the Gorman consul , the chief
con m dsary of public , nnd the sub-prefect of
the department. The ceremony was quietly
performed In the presence of about fifty
spectators.
The emperor has signified a wish to re
move with his family from Potsdam to Ber
lin by the 15th of the month , as thn marble
palace will become uncomfortable as the
season advances ; but it is uncertain whether
the transfer can be effected by the dnto men
tioned , as extensive alterations In the old
, ialaco , whloh the emperor has selected for
Ills pcrmnncnt Berlin residence , nro in actlvo
progress , and U Is .doubtful If they will bo
completed in tjmo.

The National Xcltung con Mr ins the report
that the king of Greece will visit Berlin next
autumn. It also says that Kmpcror William
has ptomised to attend the marriage nt Ath
ens of the Duke of Sparta to the Princess
Sophie , of Prussia.
A pamphlet entitled "Tho Emperor Fred
erick nt Versailles" has been published at
Lelpsic. The work has been greatly puffed
in Berlin , and Its evident aim Is to counter
act and correct some of the contents of the
Kmpcror Frederick's diary. It also revives
the anti-English feeling which prevailed in
the Prussian camp during the Franco-Ger
man war. It appears , though brought Into
considerable notoriety by means of advertis
ing , to consist principally of extracts from
newspapers nnd other publications not likely
to cxciciso a lasting influence upon the
public.
The first of the fresh series of military
bills was introduced into the Hungarian
diet at Pcsth to-day , nnd a similar measure
will bo introduced in the reichsrath on Mon
day. The bill increases the yearly number
of recruits nnd extends the ago at which re
cruits are taken from the twentieth to the
twenty-first year. It also greatly curtails
the privileges hitherto granted to recruits of
the educated classes. For instance , It re
quires them to servo two years under the

titling them to become otllccrs at the end of
the first year , andcomoels students to devote

It Is claimed that there has been
bad hlood between the two men for some
time and when they met In the saloon they
both commenced firing at each other in
stantly. It is generally thought Crinklow
acted In self defense , but ho has the name of
being a desperate character and has been in
several desperate scrapes. The murdered
man was also considered a desperate man.
The revolver of the murdered man showed
three chamber * empty.
OTho quarrel Jwas in regard to n-\ouian.
Funster , the deceased , hud scattered throats
and fired the first shot. His body was sent to
Kcd Cloud this morning. The public is much
incensed over the occurrence of the bloody
tragedy. The feeling is strong against the
place where it took place and the loose policy
of the city government that tolerates the
presence of many disgraceful characters.
The verdict of the coroner's Jury to-day dis
closes nothing new. Hawkins is having his
preliminary examination this afternoon.

LONDON , CAiu.r.TON CI.UM , Nov. 3. [ Now
York Herald Cable Special to THE Bm : . |
A few days ago the tone of public opinion in
England was universally against Lord Sack-
ville. Now it is running In his favor. It is
generally held that the indignities heaped
upon him in the United States are wholly
disproportionate to his offense. To send a
foreign minister packing at a moment's
notice is a step never taken unless an open
rupture is designed. This is the intention
actually ascribed to the United States by
some inconsiderate persons. Others urge
the government not to fill up the post and
have no minister at Washington. Others ,
like the Standard , advise the dismissal of
Phclps altogether. The Incident was the
one subject of discussion and completely
throws the Parncll commission into the
shade in ofllcial nna party circles. Sober
views are likely to prevail. Next week the
the government will bo invite 1 to make publio
the communications which uasscd between
it nnd Mr. Phclps. Lord Salisbury doubt
less feels very sere because Sackvillo is not
only his friend , but his nephew. Ho tried to
gain time , hoping that the coutro temps
would blow over , but he never refused out >
right to recall Sackville , nor was he directly
nskcu to do it. Mr. Bayard shot n long way
ahead of his instructions to Mr. Phelps. It
was arranged that Sackvillo should shortly
receive a leave of absence , and thus his fall
should be broken us much as possible. Con
ventional ideas have received a rude shock
by Bayard's letter , no doubt. The occur
rence causes a rather serious fooling hero.
The people say , "What dependence can bo
placed upon this much vuuntcl era of good
feeling between England and America when
a foolish letter can in a moment upset it !
What stability Is there In the peaceful rela
tions between the two countries when a bid
for an Irish vote can suddenly embroil every
thing ! "
The foreign ofllco people say that the no
tice to quit served on Lord Saekvlllo is with
out a parallel in diplomatic history. It is
more summary than a kitchen maid would
receive. In 1S70 the king of Prussia publicly
turned his back upon Beudctta , the French
ambassador , and told him ho would not ro
cclvo him again , but previous negotiations
had led both countries to the very brink of
war before the whole world. In other cases
ambassadors bavo been withdrawn because
the had given some offense. This was the
case with Lord Lyons , minister to the United
States. Sewarcl and ho could not get on , and
Lyons was made an ambassador add trans
ferred to Paris , but It was done in a friendly
way at his own request , and it was a promo
tion. The British government was allowed
to take the initiative. In the pros-
sent instance It , as well as its
representative , are subjected to a
certain amount of humiliation. Yet
you could not find a dozen men of sense
who favor a reprisal. The idea of expelling
Phelps is worthy only of the Standard. Most
of the people know that for the moment the
politicians nro having it all their own way in
the United States , and that if the blow has
fallen upon Sackvillo's head it was because
he thrust it where he had no business.
They who in quarrels interpose
Will often wipe a bloody nose.
Sackvillo ought to have read his Hudibras
before going to Washington. Who will sue-
coed lilmi I am bound to state that there Is
at present no very excited or eager coin peti
tion for the place. It is a little too warm to
boattractlve. Old and prudent diplomatists do
not like the prospects of closing the reputa
tion of n llfo tlmo by a venal error. Th oy
say Sackvillo has been sacrificed for a very
little , the next man would bo sacrificed for
less. ' 'Let some younger man go , " say they.
Consequently a comparative novice will prob
ably bo sought for , at least in the first In
stance. There is a tradition in the service
that Seward was an ugly customer to deal
with. More than once bo made even Sir
Frederick Hruco wince , but ho respected the
usual amenities of oftlclal llfo and never mid
took an ambassador for a footman. Then ho
haa to deal with an exceedingly da ngcrous
crisis , and managed everything to the ad
vantage of his country.
When Salisbury approaches anyone with
an invitation to go to Washington ho
will be asked whether Uo wilt gu
nntco that Mr. Bayard is not standing
ready to glv-o the newcomer his quietus ,
Labo'uchero might take it. He was once In
the diplomatic service , and was an attache in
1654 nt Washington. ' He would probably bo
quite willing to Join it again by way of a
change. _ His Jokes would at any rate'maki
Bayard laugh before ho-was ordered off fo
execution. Labby woulb soon bo the mos
popular mpn In Washington. Unfortunately
'ho is not on very good terms with Salisbury ,
who is under the delusion that Labby. Is
*
slightly frivdlous.Then there 1 .Sir
Algernon Burttwlclf , proprietor of. tbo
Morning Post. Ho h * been marked out
for nn office , providing ono can be found good
enough for him ; Lattgrly ho has been re
ceived in a flattering , nuuuicr by the queen ,
The Barthwick stir ! tdc/irly in the as
cendant. Bayard could'not possibly deal
roughly with 59 Chirm Ing a courtier. IJarth-
wick Is both balrf and rloh , two very excel
lent points for a diplomat. Ho keeps on very
good terms with qolisbury and everybody
else. Ho was never In the diplomatic ser
vice , but is quite willing to try It. Ho gives
fairly good dinncro'and delights in big recejv
ons , where the gay world can feast Its rav-
shed eyes upon him.
Then , there Is Chamberlain. He is not
inch hero at present , nnd the relations made
O'Shca as to his former Intimate rcla-
ions with the ParnclUtos seem to suggest
he expediency of a little retirement for rest
nd meditation. Ho would get on well with
Bayard , neither being at all egotistical or
icppcry. Moreover , Joseph might settle the
.arid on a lasting basis. When ho was In
.ho screw trade the American tariff taxed
Is goods 100 per cent , yet he could still
ndcrscll American rivals. They offered
,1m , a large annual { urn not to send his screws
o America. Ha accepted it , the dollars car-
'led ' the day andir o trade went ignomin-
ously ovcrboardi jSurely Joe Is the man to
ay the protection dbost finally at rest.
Bring Drumuiona Wolff back from Persia
.nd send him. HoWtoould that do ? One or
, wo rccommcndatlo.ns ho can bring. Ho has
, fund of anecdotes , and ho goes to sleep
fter dinner. He ij a friend of Salisbury's

would take them or anything else.
Some people ari suggesting Sir William
Inrcourt. Ho is nil right with the Irish
low , although in his unconverted days ho
.tuffcd . them in prison right and loft. We
, ave it on his own. authority that ho is dcs-
ended from the P.lantagencs. Ho weighs
wico as much as Bayard and wears his own
lair. Ho is very courteous In tone cspeci-
illy towards any one who has offended him.
if at any tlmo ho and Bayard fell at logger-
licads , there wouldbo a match well worth
iccing. This appointment appears the most
jopular of nil for everybody hero
ivould like to hear that Harcourt nad been

PAHIS , Nov. 3. [ New York Herald Cable
Special to THE Ucn.l A steady down
pour of rain has for the past three days
transformed Paris and the Bois do Boulogne
Into a lake. The Sclno is rising. All
the river steamers have stopped
running. Great streams rush along
the gutters of the Champs Elysses
and the rushing and scathing of hundreds of
cascades are heard at every street corner as
the water pours through the grating into the
sowers. Waterproofs and umbrellas now
reign supreme. The Hue do la Palx Is
thronged with thousands of Parislennes flit
ting about from milliner to dressmaker and
from dressmaker to coiffeur , all clad in
( . listening red , blue , green and chocolate
waterproofs. Amateurs of pretty ankles are
delighted hourly by captivating rovalations
in silk and batiste as the Parislennes , skirt
in hand , bound from their broughams to the
asphalt. In spite of this Parisian deluge ,
All Saints day and the Fete des Mortcs were
celebrated with great eclat. All the
churches wcro draped In black and every
good Catholic burnt a taper for the repose of
the souls of his departed friends. Three
millions of tapers were burned on Friday
nlono In the churches of i Paris and on
Thursday , according to the statistics ,
182,300 persons visited the cemetery of Pore
la Chaise , where not less than three millions
of bodies lie buried. Hundreds of boqucttcs
of Immortelles were ulaced on the tombs of
.Rossini , Alfred D. Musset , Thicrs , Gustavo
_ DorcBalzacClioplriCherubliii , and Beranger.-
Among the visitors were President Cornet ,
who with Mine. Carnet visited his family
tomb , n very simple monument surmounted
by a plain marble cross , with the inscription :
"Families Duponto et Carnot. " General
Boulanger also paid a visit to Pcro la Chaise
and was seen looking with curiosity at the
huge tomb of granite , surmounted by a black
marble sarcophagus , which Sarah Bernhardt
has had constructed in readiness to receive
her remains when she leaves the Porto St.
Martin for another world. This sarcophagus
is lillcd with decayed flowers , for every
day Sarah Bernhardt now sends to
this tomb all the bouquets and
flowers and wreaths which she receives
from her admirers. When I visited the cem
etery I noticed the'cthereal forms of Mile.
Zola and M. do Blowltz moving from tomb
to tomb , scattering flowers upon their dead
acquaintances. Alexander Dumas was there
too , and General do Gallifet , while M.
Trcpel miclit have been seen strolling ubout ,
umbrella in hand , distributing immortelles
among the graves.
Politically Paris is quiet , but expectant.
Boulanger continueo to bo the observed of
all observers. There are forty-nine daily
papers published in Paris. Of these twenty-
six to-day have a column or more about Bou-
langcr. The Figaro says Boulanger is the
now epidemic which will eventually kill
the republic. M. Kane , in Lc Matin says :
"Boulanger day by day Is steadily gain
ing power. Everything turns to his advan
tage. His daughter's wedding has added to
his prestige. Boulanger now possesses more
than equal terms with the Comto do Paris
and Prince Victor. The religious ceremony ,
with all its paraphernalia of feathers , its
Catholic pomp , Its supers from the grand
opera , its gala uniform and its fashionable
flummery , shows that Boulanger Is in the
swim. " The Gaulols says : "It is the duty
of all Frenchmen to throw themselves , heart
and soul , into the Boulanger move
ment. " The Debats says : "Wo
are sorry for It , but wo are
obliged to record that Boulanger Is now the
man of the future , " while the Temps adds :
"Boulanger now completely overshadows
the Cotnto do Parjs and Prmco Victor. "
The Imperialist Patrlo remarks : "At the
moment when the priest passed to the loft
of the altar during the wedding ceremony to

Ercnch novelists of the school of Zola ,
Gaborcau and Ponson ilu Forrall are fre
quently chnrged cither with exaggeration or
with Inventing crimes which Incite the
viciously Inclined to commit deeds of blood.
Two murders which htwo been perpetrated
lu the ) country lately show , however , that
the Imagination of the novelists is surpassed
hi real life. At Prcmcltcn In the depart
ment of the Seine , for instance , a woman
named Grumot , seventy-five ) years old , had a
dispute with Jcannlo Torrcan , n venerable
person of her own ago , about her way of
making coffee. Mine. Grumet , growing
angry , clove Jcannlo Torroan's head In two
with n hatchet. Then she took out the brains
of her victim , salted them and put them
under n glass cover. The crlmo was dis
covered two days after , and Grumet has
jccn sentenced to servitude for llfo.
The latest provincial tragedy took place

vas married last May. Anne had many nd-
ulrcrs , among them n carpenter named
Ilmssaguard , who had n sma'l fortune of
S,000 francs. She feigned to bo devotedly
.ttachcd to him , but after they were married
iho accepted the attentions of Macclln Gls-
alon. Chassaguard had the consump-

rapid to suit his young wifo. She

no dark night and cut his throat with a
eng knife. The wounded man dragged hlm-
ell to a neigboring farmhouse , where his
ivounds wcro dressed and his life prolonged
'or a few hours. Ho asked for his wife and
was only induced to BOO him when
hrcatened with arrest by the local authorl-
ies. She coolly accused Gispalon of the
rlmo and ho was arrested. Upon his con-
'cssion she was also arrested and acicuowl-
idging her guilt , was sentenced to a shorter

The Uuo do Prony drama has meanwhile
ccurrcd in Paris and given delightful pro-
.cxts for malevolent gossip. As tlio cable

and the painter reclining on a divan in cos
tumes resembling those worn by the Ho man
senators.
"Sortcz d'lci ou Jo vous tuo ! " exclaimed
.ho indignant bank employe , and to empha
size his words ho fired a revolver at the ceil-

looking glass. Turning to Georgette , Hack-

cave this man I'll blow your brains our , "
and aimed his revolver at her heart. Van
Beers Jumped up and making his body a
rampart for the lady's heart , retorted : "I
ilofy you , Monsieur 1" Hackenberger fired
four shots , only one of which
took effect , slightly wounding the painter in
the left arm. Van Decrs rushed to his over
coat and , drawing from it hia own revolver ,
11 red five shots at his assailant , wounding
him in the upper part of the thigh. The
rivals and their Innamorata being brought
