[ Now York Herald Cable Special to - Tun Dnc.1 Today being the feast nf San Jose Increased the usual difficulty of Interviewing Spanish states men , who expect to bo petitioned n week'at cast In advance. I wan enabled to person ally get the opinion of Senor Sagasta , Mar- ciuls Vega do Armljo nnd Senor Morot , who is ono of the best informed liberal states men. I llrst called nt the prime minister's resi dence , but was unable to effect an entrance , ns the door bell had been removed in ex pectation of such visits. I was fortunate enough , however , to Interview Sagastn on the stairs as ho was leaving in company with the ministers of justice nnd the treasury of the colonies. Ho was tunable , ho said , to form an opinion until assured of the per manency of Pilnco Uismarck's retirement , of which ho had doubts. lie believed the chancellor's retirement , if permanent , would not nffcct the Immediate outlook of European politics. . I next saw Senor Morot. "Tho fall of Prince Ulsmarck , " said ho , "will have no consequences In Spain. Spain Is quite un concerned In the Internal policy of central Europe. " In splto of the protestations of a self-suffi cient lackey I sent up my card to the Mar quis Vcgn do Armljo , who has bean confined to his house by Illness the past ten days. I was particularly anxious to see him because tiot only as minister of foreign affairs docs ho control the foreign policy of the nation , but bccauBO ho hold vtho posl under a liberal government In 16S3 at the tlmo Prince His- inarck was thought to bo considering a pol icy of roapproachmont with Spain , and ac companied Alfonso to Berlin In Novemberof the same year , returning when Iho king was hooted by u Parisian mob. No Spanish statesman 1ms studied Prmco Uismarck's policy with greater interest and judgment. "The resignation x > f Prince Ulsmarck , " said the marquis , "is no surprise to mo. When William II. came to the throne I told the ( jcrmnn cmbassador that I did nol think I'rlnua Qtsmurck would remain In office six months under his now master. 1 based that belief upon my knowl edge of the clmractor of ono and what I Kucsscd'of the character of the other. They nro qulto incompatible. Prince Ulsmarck can only exist by subordinating surround ings to his will. The emperor Is too inde pendent to tolerate a tutor , to accept the chancellor as his philosopher and friend and remain In a state of passive obedienco. It was Impossible for the young soldier to have therefore regarded Princa Ulsmarck as In a condition of posslblo rcsignalion whicn might become acute , the case becoming acute by the attitude of the emperor In calling the Uerlln conference , The chancellor was un willing to bear the responsibility of so extra ordinary u measure. The socialist movement also seemed to brine prob lems with which ho felt himself unable to deal In bis own way with n free hand. As for the conference , I doubt the ndvantago. The result will probably bo sci entific rather than practical. The solution of the serious questions which have given birth to it can hardly bo obtained by an as sembly of gentlemen , As to the effect of Bismarck's resignation on the triple alliance , I boliova that for the present there will bo no change , nor do I believe that the proba bility of n general European war will bo In creased. Whether the war party in Ger many may bo ultimately strengthened , I cannot von euro to say. By the withdrawal of so great a factor In European politics wo must not count mainly on Iho personality of the emperor himself. " The Umnornr'H Ijoitnr to Illsnmrck.

C. , March 20.1 Mr. Uorscy had nn Interview with the sec retary of agriculture this morning In refer ence to nn experimental station for the beet sugar Industry In Nebraska. Mr. Dorsoy's idea was to appropriate $100,000 nild have the government make experiments there in the raising of beets und reducing them , as was done with sorghum at Fort Hlloy , Kan. Secretary Kusk In his emphatic way said : "I would not recommend such n proposition , for the reason that the boot sugar Industry Is not In its experimental stage. It Is a win ner. Tno fact Is Iho beets raised last year In Nebraska contain a larger percentage of saccharine matter than nny raised In any part of the world. Wo need no experiments , ns wo have already established the essential fact. Wo are trying to secure all the beet seed posslblo to supply the demands upon us. Wtiol the pcoplo of Nebraska should do now Is to orgunlza and establish rclincnes , as the beets are of no vnluo without refiner ies. " Mr. Dorsoy informed the secretary that work In this direction had already been taken up in some' localities. The secretary thed said further : "lam satisfied that In n very few years the west will produce the sugar consumed In this country , nnd moro. " Mr , Dorsoy Is much interested In this sub ject nnd grasps every opportunity to further the interests of this Industry. He expressed a oolief that It would eventually bo of great benefit to the Nebraska farmers and would do much to solve Iho problems with which ihoy are confronted to.dav. DIVEHSC OPINIONS. Nebraska and Iowa present a very good Idea ot the divisions which are common ninoni : republicans on the subject of the tariff bill. At a conference of the Iowa re publicans last night , which continued till a late hour , ati expression was made which threatens to bo the unanimous decision of the dolognlion ngainsl any reduction of the internal taxes and In favor of free sugar. Final action was deferred. Just across the Missouri , iu Nebraska , the three representatives and two senators oppose any disturbance of the sugar duty. The grow ing beet sugar industry iu their state is the cause of this position. Thu KcUraskans would prefer to see all of the Internal taxes abolished rather than have their boot sugar industry destroyed. So It goes , each man In concrcss must stand by the local Interests of his district. Uut there will bo a tariff bin finally passed und it will bo very acceptable lo ihe country. DOWN OX NATIONAL 11ANKS. Anolhor black eye was given national banking Interests today through the granger Influence. The house committee on banking and currency had up bill providing that national banks may loan 10 uor cent of their surplus as well as their capital stock to In dividuals. The opposition to any class of legislation In favor of national banks appeared with renewed vigor In the committee and it was agreed thai Iho measure should bo reoortod adversely. It was recommended by' the comptroller of the currency. The prospects for any kind of legislation intended to relieve lievo the national bankintr Intcrosls at the hands of this congress uro now very small. The farmers of the far west have poured Into congress a wagon load of petitions pro testing against any kind of legislation tend ing to give an Impetus to national banking interests and congress seems lo bo thorough ly frightened. Till ! IIUTTEUWOUTII HILL. At a meeting of the house committee ot agriculture today there was developed the fact that n favorable report can unanimously bo-mauo on the Uutterworth bill prohibiting speculation upon the future delivery of food products. The light for this measure has been made by the farmers of Iho country , who allege thut the fictitious prices of specu lators control the actual market price of the grain stock of the couulry. There is no doubl that Iho bill can bo readily passed In eilhor house when It is tnlcan up for consid eration. Thu enemies of the measure will have no quarter shown them. UNION I'ACIFIO rUNUINO HILL. A member of the house stated to your cor respondent today thai he had made a can vass of Iho senate upon tbo question of Sen ator Fry's bill proposing an extension of the tlmo within which the Union Pni'illo rail road company shall pay its indebtedness to the government , and that there was enough outspoken opposition to guarantee the measure's failure in the upper branch of congress. This mnmbor Bays that there is no doubt that the Union Pacific funding bill Is dead so far as this congress is con cerned. NOT A MIIU'IUSC. Very lltllo surprise was expressed this afternoon when the announcement was made that the senate by a vote of ! )7 ) to 111 had refused to pass the Blair educational bill. There has boon n steady decline in the popularity of the measure for almost two years. This was duo to the Increase In the appropriations for pensions und public Im provements and the Incessant talking for the bill by Its author. Senator Ulalr has consumed aboul ton days in debates himself and many more days woru consumed by other senators. When the bill was first voted upon a few years ago It received a two-thirds majority. The next tiino U paased Iho senate the majority was' some what diminished , and now It is no wonder that the bill perished , It will not likely twer come up ugafu. A III.AC 1C EYC FOR aOHMAN. The shout and burst of upplauao which went up Irom the galleries in the house today when Mr. Mudd took thu oath of office and the scat to which ho was elected sounded very much liken shout of triumph and the tlrst signal for the downfall of Gor man's rula In Maryland. The case has a par ticularly important feature , inasmuch as the man who unseated Mr. Compton bus been * for years past Senator Gorman's right hand man In politics m Maryland. Compton hold a political ofllco for years and years nnd has lived at the public trough , nnd when at last the state ot Maryland grow tired of provid ing for Him and refused to re-elect mm , ( Joriuun forced his county to nominate- Compton for congress and has over since claimed ho was elected. In fact very tow cared to run against Mr. Gorman's and Mr. Campion's roughs , nnd when Air , Mudd con sented to run It was considered n for lorn hopo. Hut ovou the people of that boss-ridden district rebelled and to the surprise of every ono Mr. Mudd secured n majority of the votes. Then the peculiar methods of Gorham came Into play and the returns were fixed so as to civo Mr. Comp ton un alleged majority. Today tha galleries were crowded with Marylandera , both re publicans and independent democrat ! ) , who wanted to see justice douo. During Mr. Cooper's speech they burst forth with up plnuscs and the sneuuor had a hard time to bilenca them , when the victory was won they could not restrain themselves and gave vent to their joy by shouts nnd loud hand clapping. The effect of the house's action will bo a great nnd good ono , and although tbo legislature has gerrymandered the stuto this action will flvo encouiageinont to the independent valors that justice will bo given them by congress If they can prove as they did this tlmo that they were cheated or driven away from the polls , It was indeed a very great day for Maryland < nJn } Mr. Gorman beard Iho shout with trembling for ho knows It Is the llrst bell soundhfffror his downfall- The seating ot Mr. Mtlad 'gives the republi cans three congreimahrfoin the state nnd equalizes the delegation4hi the house , which has not occurred bofbrjo In the history of Maryland.
