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-

in the basement have been tastefully fur

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.

"Well , I don't care Jig about that. Mug-

"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

lie should not drive through the park. Ad-
tnlstlon Is purely at my will. Nut u rally , ICe

withdrew my subscription from the schools ,

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. "

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

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

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.

arguments in the Hronek case to-day Judge
Collins at once clmrpfcd tho.Jury. "Eyory
presumption , * ' said the Judge"is in.favor of
the prisoner. , If the Jury bolicvo that the
dynamite came into the posscsion of the
prisoner prior to tho'passagoof the law which
'passed July 1 , 158" , nnd under which ho was
indicted , they must bring in a verdict of ac
quittal. They must bo satisfied that the pris
oner procured dynamite since the above date
with felonious Intent to destroy human life
in order , to convict. " . The Judge's -charge
was quite lengthy , and its reading occupied
fully half an hour. '
At ten minutes past 9 the Jury retired. At
twelve minutes to 10 the announcement was
made that the Jury had agreed. The attor
neys hurriedly returned , the spectators'
scats quickly filled up , and the Judge took his

A. HOltSH SHOW.
Prominent Clilcajjo.ins Organize a
Company For ThU Purpose.
CHICAGO , Dec. 1. By special invitation ,
fifteen prominent gentlemen partook of lun
cheon with Potter Palmer this afternoon.
At jta conclusion Potter Palmer outlined a
plan for the formation of u stock company
with a capital of lioO.OJW , the specific object
of which Is to give annually in Chicago a
horse snow modeled after tha Now York
horse show , the loadini feature of which is
to exhibit gentlemen's ' roadsters and turn
outs. Heretofore the horse show has been
held in connection with the fat utoc'.c show.
This arrangement has been unsatisfactory
to the gentlemen who have organized the new
company , chiefly bncauso they have been
compelled to go down in their pockets and
make up the deficit if one existed
at the conclusion of the show. If , on
the other hand , there is a surplus , us was
the ciiso this your. It goes to the state board
of agriculture , and makes good the shortage
resulting from the state fair. The gentle
men present promptly subscribed for every
dollar's wurth of stock , and hereafter Chicago
cage will have a horse show entirely dis
tinguished from the stock show , and on a
much larger scale. ,
Among the gentlemen present who comprise -
priso the stock holders of the new company
wore Potter Palmer , Washington Hcsslng ,
Columbus H. Cuinmlngs , Charles Schwartz.

Special to Ttiu UiiB.l Paris slumbers
fitfully to-night , though the government
Journals encourage the public to believe that
the military nnd police precautions taken
are sufficient to oopo with nny form of mob.
Disorder at tlio Haudln demonstration to
morrow Is feared. The people arc fearful ot
an outbreak among the lower classes , as
was the case ul the funeral of Victor Noli" in
1STO. The projected celebration , which has
been devised by the municipal council ,
bos as its apparent object , the
laying of u number of wreaths
on the tomb of Hnudin , the
republican deputy who was shot in 1851 ,
while resisting the coup do etnt , but its rcnl
object Is to strengthen its waning popularity
with the people. The Houlangists thoroughly
understand all this , and it is feared that
some of the fiercer spirits In the party will
precipitate nn encounter. General Hou-
longer recognizes how seriously n riot , Insti
gated by his followers , would damage his
cause , and has Just sent messages to all his
committees exhorting them to keep their fol
lowers quiet on Sunday.
According to the programme arranged a
procession will form at the Hotel De Villa
and march across the grand boulevard to the
exterior boulevards and thence to Mont
* Martra cemetery , which will be closed. A
statho of B2ndln has been placed before the
gytcs in the open place , where it will bo
wreathed and covered with ( lowers.
It Is estimated that fully li5 > ,000 men
will take part in the procession ,

the regulations laid down by the authorities

wealthy classosnro _ extremely nervous at the
prospect. As to the sequel-all depends on
the Bonlanglsts. If they do not attempt to
make political capital for themselves thcro ii
no reason to fear an emuto. All papers
to-day contains a strong appeal for order.
There will bo no police along the route , but
all the side streets will bo barred b.v them , in
order to keep the crowd to the prescribed
boulevards. Stringent measures have been
taken to propaio for every emergency.
The greater part of the Paris garrison
risen is to be confined to the barracks.

Nuw YOIIK , Dec. 1. [ Special Telegram to
Tin : HUB. ] A grave accusation lins been
made against Mrs. Lnngtry , and Mrs. C.
Thomson , once a fashionable Fifth avenue
dealer In human hair , Is the complainant.
Mrs. Thompson failed recently , and is Illlug
schedules In the court of common pleas. Yes
terday she attached an affidavit to other pa
pers explaining the cause of the failure. Pre
vious to the appcaranco of the Jersey Lily in
this country Mrs , Thompson says she was
doing a prosperous business. Thick , luxuri
ant growths of hair were considered woman's '
crowing blessing , The majority of women
then , as now , were not overmuch blessed in
that respect , however , but when nature
failed them Mrs. Thompson and others In the
same linn of business stopped In and assisted
them for financial considerations. Then
Mrs. Lan try appeared on this slau of the
water , nnd , presto eharigo , Iho style of hair
dressing changed. Why ! Well , beeaubo the
.lersy Lily did not have very much hair her
self , but , with her usual tact , made the most
of what she had. She were it In the most
cunning little drooping knot at the back of
her shapely head , and at oneotho style began
to bo copied , first fashionables , then working
women mid girls , took to the now style , and
the business of the hair denier begun to fall
away. Mrs. Thompson Is not thu first nno
who has failed , and it is safe to predict that
she will not bo the last , ul ! on account' of
Lily.
