Morn Men of Rlnod. lOSOby Xcio York Auoetated 1'rcfs. ) BERLIN , August 31 , The coining session of the rolchstag Is not expected to bo stormy or sensational. Among the most Important measures to bo introduced is a bill which the government Is preparing for credits to aug ment and reorganize the army , In view of the continual Increase of the French nnd Rus- Bian armaments. The members of the roich- Btag and tbo public are being prepared for this line of significant articles In all the official organs. Those papers tire demanding nn increase of the German forces , , which Is calculated on the effective force that the now French military law will enable Franco to put into the Hold. Several petitions have been sent to the government from Alsace-Lorraine asking that the authorities bo instructed to miti gate the rigors of the passport regulations. The petitions thus far have met with no response sponse- from the government. The Strausbourg Landos Zoitung even re ports that the permission hitherto accorded in parishes adjoining the frontier to dispense with the exhibition of passports where there is frequent crossings for business purposes , is cow withdrawn. No reason for the with drawal Is assigned. Thnro is no cessation in the press polemics on African affairs. The Vossischo Zoitung , commenting upon tbo appearance of vho English blue book says that the object seems to DO to demonstrate anew , in spite of German indignation meetings and rovllmgs against England in regard to the Emln relief expedition , the fact that the Anglo-German understanding ha ) not under gone the slightest interruption. The Vossische Zoituug believes that this entente cordlalo precluded the possibility of Germany landing the smallest countenance to any efforts llko that of Dr. Peter's to Interfere with tbo English pluus In central Africa. The Boorson Zeltung declares that during the negotiations for a Joint blockade Germany gave formal assurance that the Emln province , including Waddl , though officially abandoned by Egypt , sDould still bo regarded , nt least pro visionally , as belonging to-Egypt. The assertion that a formal agreement was made is perhaps exaggerated , both the North Gorman Gazette's attack the on Cologne Ga rotte and l.ho national liberal party's organs favoring Dr. Peters , Indicate Prince Bis marck's firm intention to give no offense to England in colonial matters. The Hanover Courier , Herr Bcnnfgsen's organ , deplores the misunderstandings created by tbo North German Gazette , and regrets that the friends of Prince Bismarck and the emperor , in high position , should bo at tacked because they failed to foresee a year ago the rapproacnmont with England. The Frankfort Gazette similarly expresses surprise , considering the license Prince Bis marck formerly allowed , that it should now bo so dangerous to endeavor to ascertain In a perfectly passionless manner what nro Germany's rights as compared with English private transgressions. The Gazette asks In n fono of sarcasm , "What is the enormous price England must bo paying for u total suppression of oven the most modest expres sion of public opinion regarding German colonial subjects. " The Vossischo Zeltung supports the atti- ,1udo ; of the North German Gazette. Telegrams from Copenhagen represent tbo liinjj of Denmark as surprised that his son- in-law should have so long delayed return ing Emperor William's visit and as most anxious that this act of courtesy should no longer be uofnrred ; still after so many dis appointments the statement that the czar has decided to coma next * weak , moots with a deal of skepticism oven In offi cial circles. The bitter articles of the Berlin Post and other papers may bo attributed to the annoyance caused by these delays. Tlio Port declares the only way to turn the attention of Russia from war is for the European powers to give her free hand fa Asia or the Balkans. The marriage festivities ut Copenhagen will bring a largo gathering. It is estimated that forty members of the Imperial and royal families will bo present , the assembling of whom gives 'rise to numerous betrothal rumors. The Bochum congress was well attended. There was some disappointment over tUo lack of original and practical ideas for the amelioration of tbo condition of worklnguicii. Count Galen delivered the best discourse on thoquestion. . Six thousand per sons assembled to hear Dr. Wlndthrost deal with religious education and the efforts of the centrists on behalf of the minors , The congress adopted an address in favor of the restoration of the temporal power of the popo. The National Uazotto , apparently the only authority of the Chlueso ambassador , domes the story that Count Von , Walunrseo elabor ated the plan of campaign for China during the Tonquln war. The Post issues an official denial that Ger many has any designs on Crete. . The Weather Forecast.

Kldilcr , I'ruboily/it Co 'a Preference For ninnvnt Kxplalnrd. CHICAGO , August 81. [ Special Telegram to Tin : BnnVl It is said this evening by a Chicago railroad man that the explanation lias dually been given why Klddor , Peabody & Co. preferred Mr. Manvcl to Mr. Strong as president of the Atcliison. It is known that Baring Brothers , of. London , wcro largely instrumental in floating Atehi- son bonds , and they had no dilllculty In placing them. The Atohison has novcr .vet defaulted on the Interest of its bonds , but it has not paid the interest with its earnings. Baring Bros , huvo stood in the broach nnd made good the deficiency , no matter how largo the amount. This was a heavy drag on the London firm of bankers. Having utmost or quite oxhaustei the amount originally obtained for floatIng - Ing the lends , in this exigency' they begun looking about for a Moses who would lend the Atchison out of the wilder ness. A coolness had already sprung up be- t\veen Kioder. Pcabody & Co. and President Strom ; , and as this banking llrni is prac tically the American representation of Bar ing Brothers , the report on the fitness of President Stronir was naturally lukewarm or hostile. Baring Brothers also floated a large block of Manitoba bonds , and in . doing it were much im pressed with the illness of General Manager Manvel. This Impression Presi dent Hull \v .s not slow to foster , as ho hon estly believed Mr. Manvol was ono of the most capable executive officers In the rail road business. After many consultations with Kiddcr , Peabody & Co. it was decided to send representatives to Chicago and got an unprejudiced opinion of Mr. Manvcl's ' fit ness. Tlio investigation was complete and created gossip at the time , none of which however , credited Mr. Manvol with a chance for buch u position as president of the Atchi son. President Strong resigned while this Investigation was going on , probably being the only man who guessed its intent , but his resignation was not accepted. As soon as the report was made , however , Baring Brothers concluded to make the change , and President Strong's resignation was accepted. Into the Ilnr.cts of the Opposition , NEW YOIIK , August 31.

The Army of the Discontented. ( CopyrMit 1SSO ly A'cio 1'orfc Assoctatril l'rcss.1 LONDON , August 31. The long smoul dering discontents of the laborers on the London docks received n strong nthnulus by the revelations before the lords' committee on "sweating" last year. The leaders of the labor movement , seizing the opportunity , prosecuted a vigorous campaign in the East End nnd funned the embers of discontent until the dockmon , rouspd from the lethargy Induced by their sordid surroundlucs , sub mitted to the guidance of Burns and other active spirits , their concerted action leading to the present crisis. The continuance of the strike for seventeen days , and the strikers' determined attitude now , show that the lenders calculated the probable course of the movement before notice of the strike was formally given. Interviews to-day with the functionaries whoso duties bring thorn into daily contact with dock men nnd these of the allied em ployments , show that for years past the con dition of the dock men's families has been as bad ns any of the worst cases before the "sweating" committee. The local radical clubs1 nnd other organizations are fully olive to the importance of striking while the iron is hot. They are creatly assisted by the lec turers and by the house propa ganda intended to foment discontent nnd forward , what in view of to-nighl's situa tion nnd the strike corabilttco's latest mani festo , promises to develop Into an organized crusade ngnlnst capitalism generally. The strikers adhere to tholr full demands , though the countenances of many who enter nnd depart from the relief committee's room plainly reveal sharp privation. Public feeling , both in the East End nnd in the city's commercial circles , strongly favor the strikers. Local sympathy Is act ively exerted to supplement thn various pub lic subscriptions to afford practical relief. To-day tbo employes of Yarrow & Co.who are under a heavy contract to supply the government with torpedo appliances , struck , while 5,000 iron workers at the Isle of Dogs have gone out for an advunco cf 0 pence. The dock laborers in the strike number 110,000. As an immediate sequence of their cessation 5JO.OOO stevedores , 0,000 TiKhtormon , 2,000 clerks and nearly fifty thousand grain weighers and laborers are idle. A mass meeting of dockmon will bo held In Hyde Park to-'rnorrpw. The directors of the dock companies have absolutely declined to mnko uny'conccssloa * beyond < vhat has alreadybeeti offered , and matters remain in statu quo. The strike committee mot late to-night at the Wade Arms and decided to withdraw tholr appeal for a general strike and to substitute an ap peal to the trades unions ut homo and abroad for financial help to continue the struggle. THIS GUIS AT SIHliATOK STH1ICB. A Fair Prospect That It Will Soon Uc Hottlod. CHICAGO , August 81. [ Special Telegram to TUB BEK.I There is ut least a fair pros pect of the great Strcator strike being sot- tied. Governor Flfor , who has been deeply interested in the struggle between the miners nnd their employers , and who has ocen much Impressed with the accounts of the suffer ings of the unfortunate strikers in the Spring Vulloy district , has resolved to take a hand in the matter and , If possible , to bring the unfortunate dispute to a peaceful and satisfactory termination. This morning a long conforcnco was hold bstwecii Governor Fifer and a committee representing tbo strikers. A preliminary meeting had been hold last night at which Senator C. B. Farwell was present and expressed his readiness to do every thing in his puwer to bring about a settlement. Ho was not present at the con ference this morning , but his views were represented by Ilallroad Commissioner Wheeler who also took part m the delibera tions. The meeting was hold in Governor Fifor's room und was not open to the press. Tbo governor opened the proceedings by stctlng tlmt ho had thoroughly Investigated the statements as to the sufferings of the striker ? in the coal districts and ho had made up his mind to take some uctlvo steps to bring the wretched state of affairs that existed there to aa end. Ho also said that ho was of the opinion tlmt the mon were not sufficiently paid for their labor , and ho believed if they were not immoderate , in their demands a satisfactory settlement to all parties might bo effected , Mr. , Cowdroy nnd Mr. Dotivltor both pointed out that the men's demands at present were exceedingly reasonable. They said that the minors only naked to bo paid nt n rate that made It pdsslblo for tly.n , by great diligence und hard work , to earn $3 a day. Governor Fifor thought an able bodied man ought to bo able to earn at least $ J a day In this country and ho didn't consider such a demand unreasonable. Ho thought that if the minors nnd operators could bo got together again something might bo done to settle matters. After a long discussion Mr. Wheeler rose and said that ho desired to repeat now what ho said when the conference broke up two weeks ago , that ho hud a suggestion to make which ho believed would bring about u satis factory settlement. Ail ho wanted wus the proper opportunity to pffer that suggestion. Some moro talk followed this remark and finally it was decided that the miners cull a general mooting for 10 o'clock. Monday morn ing at Jbllot , which the owners will bo in vited to attend. Governor Flfor promised to send Mr. Wheeler down as bis representa tive to the mooting , wbore Mr , Wheeler , in the governor's numo , will tuako his propo sition , Tbo governor is so im pressed with the reasonableness of Mr. Wheeler's proposition that bo told the delegation that ho had ovary reason to hope that the atrllro will bo settled Monday. The governor has nlso decided to issue a procla mation asking for contributions to help out the starving pcoptq In Spring Valley. Governor Fifor's only doubt about a pen- oral settlement bolng effected is with regard to W. L. Scott's employes. In case the em ployes of the other operators should coma to terms and Scott's mon bo' forced to remain out , a proclamation for their special benefit will bo Issued. It Is believed possible that Mr. Wheeler may bo In h position to offer , on behalf of the railroads , such n reduction in the rates as will enable the operators to acccdo to the men's ' demands. AN INSANE FAUMBU'S DI2BD. Ho Seta Flro to n Itnrn nnd .lumps Into the Flames. NnwAnK , N. J. August 81. The town of Paradise , N. J. , near the Blue mountains , was the scene of n dreadful tragedy a day or two since. Phillip Hoinicklc , n well to do German farmer , furnished the sensation , but did not have the satisfaction of enjoying the sight of his neighbors' surprise. Hcimchlo has for some time past made threat * that ho woufd burn the town , but little heed was paid to htm. The other day ho went to his barn , in which was stored nil his year's harvest , nnd kindled a flro at each of the four corners. The barn was soon blazing , the flames and' smoke showing for miles around. Homicide stood watching the destruction of his property with perfect in difference. Some of the farmers living near him saw the flro and cama to help him save bis prop erty , but with a gesture ho refused their aid , and they could do nothing. The heat was BO intense that they could not approach the burning barn. After standing by for a whllo they were horrified to see Hoinlokle deliberately throw himself into the flames. No ono was near him at the time and nothing could bo denote to prevent the awful deed. When the flro baa exhausted itself nnd the embers had cooled so that u search among the ruins was posslolo , his charred nnd half consumed body was found. WAS SHEKM.VN INaUtiTED ? Grand Army Circles Considerably Worked Up. CIIIOAQO. August 3i. [ Special Telegram to TUB Bnc.l Graud Array circles have been considerably worked up to-day by the reports in the inoraing papers relating to an nllogcd insult to General' Sherman by mem bers of the Phil Sheridan , post , of Chicuco. Tiio affair took place at Milwaukee yester day forenoon on the train which wasabout , to leave for Chicago , The story coos that General Sherman and his brother woio shown > to n car which was afterward entered and claimed by a Chicago party , members of Phit Sheridan post. Even tbo presence' df General Sher man , it is said , did not sllcnco the protests of the party * against the occu pants of the car , nnd finally the illustrious chieftain and his brothoi ; went out and left the Chlcagoans In possession. A reporter called on Wm. C. Curtis , com mander of Phil SherMatu post , this morning to get his version of tiio. ory. "It's nn awkward uffahsala , ho , "and It is not going to bo nn * < oaty matter for us to make it appear just righfin the eyes of the people , although wo dlrf nothing Improper and arc really not blameworthy. The fact is tlmt the general was a little tired and his brother a lUtlo too quick tempered , and they toolf oftenso whore none was meant. The car which the general boarded was ono which.elght or nine of us had chartered , and as we had our wives With us wo could'do nothing less than insist pn claiming the provisions wo had made for their comfort. When the car was backed into the station and attached to the train a rush was made for it and when wo reached it the seats were already filled. Wo protested to the porter , who immediately began to clear the car , explaining the situ ation to tno usurpers. It was not noticed at first that General Sherman was ono of the Intruders , but as soon us be was observed the porter told him that ho was in the wrong car , that his seat was in the coach ahead. The general didn't seem to bo much put out , but his brother flow all to pieces In a minute nnd denounced us for disturbing the old commander. Vice Commander Brown , a member of the party , offered Gen eral Sherman a scat , but the offer was re fused. Ills baggage was picked up and car ried into the car that should have been taucn nt first , the general following it , accompanied by'Major Sherman , who was still burning with indignation. Now , wo intended no dis respect to the general. Wo did not treat him rudely and ho had no reason for getting wrathy except that ho was tired and didn't llko to moyp. If our party had consisted of men alone , why , it would have been different. But , you see , wo had eight ladies , and wo were obliged to consult their comfort. Besides , the general might have staid in the cur , ar yliow , had he chosen to accept the scat Mr. 13 rown tendered him , and perhaps ho would h wo done so if his brother hadn't been so not. I regret the af fair very much , and I realize how difilcult it Is going to bo to set ourtelVQ.i right. However - ever , wo can state the facts Just as they nro and let the people form ! their own conclu sions. If they won't bbllovo us , then lot them go to the conductor and the porter of the train. Both will confirm what I have stated and what all the members of the party will lully corroborate.-- * Attempted .Murder. FOUT WIYNE , Ind. , Aijgust 81.
