TMnrlliorouuli and tlio t' ' opi/r/uhl lff > 3li\i \ JmiiM Coition Loxiios' , Dec. 1 , [ New Yorlc Horntil Cable -Special to Tin : Hii.l : Tno war of bells wages merrily on at Woodstock , wlioro is situated the Oulio of Mnrlborough's mag nificent palace. Many erroneous reports have gone out concerning the real state of a ( Tu ir ii between Marlborough and the Kev. Arthur Mugcndie , rector of Woodstock. To get a really authentic statement it Is uocos- nary to let the parties In the controversy tell their own stories. I went to Woodstock and saw.ovcrybody concerned. 1 found the Il-jv. Arthur Mngondio at the rectory , lie is about fifty years of age , with clear cut features , aquiline nose , and a chin and mouth which express determination. " 1 can put the ill sputo in n nut- hell , " ho said. "I . refused to have tlio church bells rung because I disapproved of the marriage of his grace. On the day of bis return a deputation called upon mo , headed by Howies , the mayor of "Woodstock. They asked mo to ring the bells. 1 said I could not. Why I Because I did not think it right that a divorced per son should marry again. I w.int you to un derstand that it was not person .il to the duke. I would have discountenanced any similar union. " "What was the result ? " "Soon after I received a note from his grace's agent , saying that his grace did jot wish me to drive ui lilunhcim park , as I had formerly done. Ho wislio.l mo to CIMSO giving religious education nt the lilnydnn schools , lie withdraw bis subscription and that of the dowager duchess. The two amounted to only JEW , but that did much good. I was overwhelmed with letters of sympathy , many enclosing mouay , to make up the deficiency. " Leaving ttio rectory , I went to'"Woodstock , ivhcro tlio mayor resided. Ho is' "n farmer named Howies , with flowing beard and & titanic build. 1 asked him about the deputa tion that waited on the rector. Ho said : "It was suggested to me that the bolls should bo rung to welcome the duke and the new duchess. I saw several of the town council and all approved of it. I then went to Mr. Magcndie. The moment we men tioned the dune's name ho changed color and refused. " "What is your impression of how the people ple of Woodstock look upon Mr. Magendlo's position ! " - "I am quite sum that if they wcreall polled they would be in favor of having had the bolls rung. I think the parson should liavo strained n point. Ho is a goo.l man , and popular , but I think he would have done hot ter for the interests of the town to have wel comed the duke and duchess ntthooutset. " "I understood ttiat thcro are other reasons for the duke's action. " "Well , I don't know ; but there has 'been a longstanding antagonibinun the pait of the parson. " "Whatforl" "Many things. H was principally noted after the death of the late duke , to whom Magcndlo was chaplain.- There was a me morial service and the young duke was pres ent What did the parson do but tnko for his text the storj of the 'Prodigal Son , ' Every body remarked on it. The duke never cnino inside the church again. Magcndlo was re lieved of the chaplaincy soon after , and the duke appointed M. Vuic , of Shiptoii , in his place. " Passing through the glorious scenery of lllenheim park , I arrived at the palace , which is undoubtedly the most magnificent residence In Great Uritaln. After two years' work the electric lighting of the pal- uco has Just been completed , nmU,000 Itiean- flesccmt Jots light iliu house. Desired rooms in the basement have been tastefully fur nished for summi'r me. In the gardens wo 30,000 orchids , many of them worth JE100 npicco. In his tnstoj the duke is highly re fined. "What do you want of mo ! " said Ids grace * ' In lila usual brisk manner. s "Oh , that bell ringing affair. " "Well , I don't care Jig about that. Mug- cndie in OMO of those high church parsons who wants to advertise himself , and " "You have forbidden M.igundie the park I" "Yes , " replied his grace with energy. "I did not mind his not ringing the bolls , but when he publicly reflected U | > on the duchess mid mynelf I took a stand. I requested that lie should not drive through the park. Ad- tnlstlon Is purely at my will. Nut u rally , ICe Co not care to admit a person who opunly ppcaks against mu. For the same reason I withdrew my subscription from the schools , 1 further requested Magcndlo not to give re ligious Instruction at the illaydon school. " "Do the schools have no religious Instruc tion 1" Yes , of course. My present chaplain , Mr , Yule , with whom 1 ; ' , * \ . en perfectly , bus takcn'over Mr , Mtigundlo's work nt Hlay- don. " Lyon I'lnyttir Jellvcnnl an this evening to an enormous meeting of his constituent nt Leeds on the comparative purchasing power and wages in England and the United States , Sir Lyon recently re turned from America , whcro lie made ex tended Investigations , and his speech on the subject was awaited with great Interest. "Wages are higher in America than In this country , ' ' he said , "but the nominal wnges inciin so many shillings per week , while the real wages arc the necessities which can be bought b.v them. Wlint makes wages higher in America ! The republicans nsscrt that it is duo to protection , which creates Industries and gives work. The workman does not live on work , but works to live. Therefore , he wants living at the lowest cost. How can protection , which taxes all the comforts of Hie , give him that end I "In America each man , as a consumer , pays taxes to himself ns a producer. If protection makes more wages , where does the more come from ! It restricts the markets for commodities to home con sumption. In consequence , then , comes n glut , nnd many workmen have enforced idle ness for each third or fourth year. It means seven months pay for twelve months living. Only In times of grave depressions In trades docs liiighind experience this dlflletilty , be cause the export trade carries oft the excess. "Perhaps you would like to know what extensive immigration does for America. The American workman has an advantage over the workmen of other protected coun tries , because his territory is sparsely settled and undeveloped. The ch'el emigration to America is from protected European coun tries. The Chinese are the fathers of the protective system. They swarmed over tlio Pacillc coast until their influx was prohibited by law. Tlio protected countries of Ger many and Italy send thu bulk , while Kng- land only supplied 11M per cent. One-third of these are Irish , and you know the causes which rendered the Irish discontented in the * past ten years. Only 4 per cent ol the emi grants are engaged in protected employment , while the rest are farmers or workmen for unprotected trades. "It must be remembered that American workmen work four or live hours a week more than the English workmen. According to the American labor bureau reports , a Massachusetts workman with a family of live , including the earnings of the children , makes in u year i'lOJ , while the Knells ! ) workman makes . 103. According to the same report it costs the American .fillil to live comfortably , while it costs the English man .1101. If this comparison bo true , the American saves i'i ) , and tne Englishman , who works less hours per week , JK2. "Protection has led to all kinds of labor disturbances , and strikes are pain. fully frequent. Uneasiness In the latior market " led to the amalga mation of labor unions into a gigantic organization called the Knights of Labor , -.vliich at one time had l/XXJ.OiH ) members. American politicians groveled before its power , nnd strikes and boycotts were un sparingly used. Its tyranny at one time seemed almost intolerable , but thu immense number has dwindled to 'JOO.OOO , and few American politicians are so poor as to do them reverence. "Protection leads slowly to socialism. If a state can tax its workingmcn for the bcnelH of manufacturers , on the same principle the woikingmen can say , when they como into power , 'Now wo propose to tax you manu facturers to guarantee our wages.1 That would bo socialism approaching communism , but so is protection. England has made more progress in her forty years under free trade than she did In protection , both In manufactures nnd increased popula tion. Any nominal difference in American and I'jiigli.sh ' wages depends unon considera tions which prevail m new and undeveloped countries. All European countries , save Belgium and Holland , unite to protect their cheaper labor from goods produced in Eng land , whore the wages nre from 89 to 100 per cent higher. What the skilled English work man fears Is not low priced inexpert labor , but high priced export work. " Tlio Appropriation Hills. WAHIIXC.IOX , Dec. 1.

Cold t 1PS8 I'llVein York Amoetnted'iw.l UKHMK , Dec. 1. The emperor's prolonged absence from public life has given rise to rumors that ho is suffering from an aural tumor , which Is assuming an aggravated form. Scmi-oflicial riipdrts state that his illness is simply n , severe cold , contracted through exposure during the recent hunt at Hotzllnger. No medical advice has boon sought beyond the household physicians. The ear complaint slightly Increased during the height of the catnrrhal fever , but im proved with the return of normal hoalth. Although the weather U mild , the emperor is advised to remain Indoors for some days to come. Ho has been in excellent spirits , nnd has been ( It for work throughout the week , receiving visitors and transacting business Just as usual. Ho employed part of his en forced leisure in elaborating the details of further army aud navy"reforms. . Ho kept his military cabinet very busy , demanding immediate reports on a variety of questions. The officials of the cabinet Unit his incessant activity something too much for them. Ho keeps them working sometimes night and day , insisting that thcro DC no delay in the reports he demands , his unvarying orders being to reply within twen ty-four hours. \ , The admiralty officials share the excite ment of the war office , which has been es pecially stimulated this , wcok by messages from the emperor referring to naval esti mates , the details of which remain unsettled. The emperor's orderVxtcAda into every other department. rj The emperor has ordcrLl the prosecution' of several papars for pu&jshlnV tKafc pait of the Lite Kmperor Frederick's ' diary which re lated to the Austro-Ilujsian war. Besides the Kieler Zeituug , the frelslnigo organ now prosecuted under the emperor's ' orders'.lho has every leading paper dissected forliim daily. Ho was especially -irritated by the statement of the f relslnigo - papers to the ef fect that Empress Victorfivixclusivoly owned the diaries and all the journals of Emperor Frederick , including a number of unopened documents which were iccured by a private seal , and which thoex-einperorhad deposited in the royal archives. ' ? The rcichstng commission will begin to consider the budget on jilonday , and will sit daily In order -to reporl b'eforo Christmas. The commission will Rear privately more about armaments .than was dls closed In open debnfo in the rcichs- tag. Chief of AdmiraW Monts candidly told the reiehstag that Jlvo memorandum on the navy was drawn up , purposely so that foreign nations might iot ? learn more than was necessary. The mi morandura , he said. was an inadequate rcprc1 eritation of the pro- jected increase of the n ty , but ho promised to give full Information tnTtho commission. The feeling of dlstrustfamong tbo members of the reichstng rogardipff the appropriation for armaments Is on the increase. The debate brouirhl out the reminder that last year Gen eral Von Caprivi , predecessor of Vice Ad miral Count do Monts asfchicf of the admir alty , presented memoranda to the effect that the navy , although small , ' was In the best of condition , and able to mi ot any.doinnnd that might bo mndo upon it I case of war.

Hut his criticjym of tha invalid workmen's Insurance pijmpct will assuredly have an influence yj > modifying the bill. The majority t&f tbo mem bers of the rclcb tag agree that the annuity secured to irfv lldor ago ! work men is insufficient. Numerous petitions , signed by many thousanfls of workmen , have been presented to the rM&ista ? , protesting against both the moagroia s of tap annuity and the lateness of the after TO years when it is claimable. WortBion circles also fiercely oppose- the sygtfcn proposed , as apt to become a dangerous Vfdapon m tha bands of hostile employers.

A A report that the gownraont Intends to close the session Jn Fobi : ( try , and to dissolve the house early in the au Bain , is obtaining currency amoug thu r ogresslsts and cen trists , but is discredited ts the government groups. Herr Hlchtor , i ceptlng the report ns probable , said that he < 1 coined the time as opportune for the intr ( luetlon of a motion to the effect that the feipfal government in struct their agents o maintain a more strict observance , o the , electoral law. Ho supported the motion by citing numerous arbitrary armU-durlng the lost election of distributers ot voting papers nnd others engaged inf legitimate electoral business , Ho bo bhotrod to bo illegal the p -L - , prohibition and dissolution ot public ings , which ho snld amounted to suppression of the right of electors to combine. The so cialists. Singer nnd Kroobcr , confirmed the statements of Herr Hlchter , declaring that government agents everywhere Interfered to wipe out the socialists , llorr Marguardson , national , admitted the existence of the grievances denounced , and urged that oven In the Intervals of the gov ernment Inquiry would bo useful. Ho there fore proposed that the motion be remitted to tno commission on the verification of elec tions. The house assented by ft largo ma jority. A socialist electoral manifesto predicts a struggle In the coming election of unusual vehemence. It reminds the electors that the rcichstBg will bo electcd.diot for three years , as heretofore , but for five , and says that a socialist candidate should bo nominated in every district where there nro nny adherents of the party , oven If the chance of election bo rcmoto , In order to show the number of socialists in the ouiplre. The socialists , the manifesto further says , are hopeful that the electorate is coming to its senses , and will not again be scared by the war phantoms evoked In 1SS7. The man ifesto heralds greater activity in socialist agitation , while the rolchstng proceedings discourage police interference. This was seen -In the marvellous toleration accorded to the socialist workmen's demonstration lost evening , when n largo number of wortc- men , after n meeting , formed a procession and paraded the streets , singing the "Mar- scllaise. " Bismarck will appcvnr in the rcichstagon the occasion ol the debate on colonial affairs. A hitch has occurred with England over the last Africa blockade agreement. Lord Salis bury's statement In the house of lords , that Germany didn't intend to combine her land and sea operations , is in direct variance with the views of the Berlin government. If His- marek's plans nro effectual , military action will accompany a blockade of the stations along the coast , and for some distance In the interior. The government holds that a blockade alone would bo futile. The permanent possession of the coast is the only means of suppressing the slave trade , besides enabling the government to terminate the blockade. Prince Henry of Kcuss left yesterday nnd returned to bis post at Vienna. Ho has seen Prince Hlsmarek , besides having a confer ence with the emperor. The newspaper row regarding the episode between Prince Henry of R iuss and Count Von Taafo has not af fected the relations between the govern ments. Prince Henry of Ileuss , before leav ing Berlin , denied that his relations with Count Von Taafo hud decreased in cordiality. It is certain that Prince Bismarck would not allow Prince Henry to remain at Vienna if his -presence teudfect WTVeaken thn alliance between 'the governments. 35or would Count Knlnoky suffer the existence ) of an Austrian premier who was conducting on intrigue against Ins foreign policy. Count Von Taafo has tno intimate personal confi dence ol Emperor Francis Joseph , of whom ho was an early playmate , and a close friend until Francis Joseph was raised to tlio throne. Ho is n supporter of Count Kal- noky's alliance policy , though ho recently admitted a czcch representation in the cabi net owing to international necessities. The newspaper war has disclosed an in tense Austro-Hungarian jealousy of German supremacy. The Vosslcho Zeitung having remarked that Austria-Hungary must bo true to the alliance or she would ccaso to ex ist , the Pesthor Lloyd responded that the Austrian empire wus not a German depend ency , and might renounce the alliance , becoming the center of a Franco- Austro-Hussian coalition against Ger many. The controversy is de plored in ofllcial circles hero , but it delights the French press and enchants the Russian press into dreaming of an immediate rupture of the alliance. A Warsaw paper yesterday predicted that a combined Husso-Austrlan force would yet invade Germany , break up the empire , and place Prussia upon her old level , Happily the discussion is abating. A brief semi official article in the Fremdenblatt , which has hitherto bcon silent on the subject , Bays that the Gorman government is an entire stranger to the attacks made on Austrian personages in the German press , and never abandoned its attitude of absolute neutrality toward the internal affairs of other govern ments. Count Szochcnyi , Austrian cmbassador to Germany , wjio has boon enjoying a vacation in Hungary , nas had his leave of absence curt cd in consequence of the newspaper dissensions. Ho was received In audience by Emperor Francis Joseph yesterday , when ho was instructed to return to his post. The origin of the dispute is traceable to an article in the Vienna Schwarzgold.
