[ Now York Herald Cable Special to TIIK Bii.l : Some very alarming reports nro In circulation regarding the real condition of Uladstono. Although ho managed to got to Lowestoft yesterday , belief is current that ho is completely broken down and not likely to appear In parliament again. I can Inform you on the best authorities that his condition Is serious. The attack of inlluoti/n from which Gladstone sufTcred recently , shook him severely and loft him very weak. Ho persisted in going to the Jublleo for col onial olshoprlu funds , nnd there delivered a long speech In defense of the Church of Eng land. Ho also attended for a short time daily the house commons , wont to three or four dinner * ami generally used himself as though ho were In full health nnd twenty- /ivo years younger. The consequence has been a partial break down , but the old man Is now to be chained up and u vigilant guard set all around him. Ho has gone to Lovely house at Lowostoft , belonging to Colman , mustard maker , and there the sea breezes are expected to recruit his strength. A moro delightful abode could not bo found. Hot and cold sea water baths are attached to every bed room and there is nothing the heart of man can desire that can not be had at n moment's notice , except outh nnd health. The latter will probably U rcfuso to como once moro at Gladstone's call Ills friends are confident ho will yet bo prime minister again. It is also reported that John Morlny has had n serious rolap'.e , but I met him this morning in Piccadilly nnd he informed mo ho was In very fair health , though needing rest. Ho is uolng Monday to Join Gladstone at Lowestoft. There they can console each other for bcinir temporarily out of the politi cal arena. Morley looked pretty hearty , I thought , nnd was In good spirits. Sir William Harcourt will again bo loft commandcr-ln-chlcf in the house of commons , n position ho thoroughly enjoys. Of the third distinguished Invalid , Spurgeon I cannot give you so good an account. For ycnr.s ho has been n martyr to rheumatic gout nnd a recent attack of influenza has greatly increased his sufferings and brought him vorv low. Like Gladstone ho never gives In till the last moment. But now ho is entirely prostrated and there is great cause for alarm. What , would become of Spurgcon's urcat undertakings if ho wcro taken away It is impossible to foresee. His orphan asylums , tftrnlning colleges and other institutions could bo kept up by any ether man , while his bitnnnous tnberuuclo certainly could not bo filled by any ether preiichiir. The whole vast machinery he has set up would bo In danger of going to pieces. You can Imagine , therefore , the anxiety of his congregation nt present. Few men hnvo done moro good In their day and generation than Mr. Spurgeon and his loss would bo regarded by thousands as llttlo loss than a national misfortune. Public attention Is once more drawn to the Evolyn-Hurlbert case by the assurance of the solicitor general that the public prosecutor Is looking Into it with a view to criminal proceedings. Some of the comments nro very severe on Hurlbut , ospojlally in Wornyss Ruld's paper , the Speaker. This journal throws out some very ugly sugges tions , and declares that until Hurlbort pro duces Wilfred Murray ho ought to refrain from forcing his company upon any body of English gentlemen or gentlewomen. The Saturday Review Is also ncld In Its tone. I hnvo Hindu Inquiries In the high legal quarters as to the prospect of prosecution for perjury nnd urn assured thnt the dlfllcultlos nrc so great that the chances nro nothing will bo dono. Who Is to bo proceeded agnlnstl Not the woman , for It Is not even alleged she forged the letter. Unless Wil fred Murray is brought forwnrd It cannot bo proved thnt Miss Evelyn swore falsely In as- porting Hurlbort was the man. She could not substantiate her claim for a breach of promise of marriage , but that was because she had no corroborative evidence. Her words stands against Hurlbort's. Can llurlbert bo prosecuted ! lam told ha can not , There is no proof ho wrote the letters , jV5jhat Wilfred Murray does not exist. People ple may believe anything they like , but what the public prosecutor will require is evidence iluoly to satisfy n Jury. Ho cannot proceed until ho Is untuned ho has that. At present it is certain that the weight of testimony is not suniulently strong to authorize the step which a section of public opinion per- latently clamors for. for.MBMiiitu MBMiiitu or PAULUMEXT.

[ Now YOrk Hernld Cnblo Special to TUB UKK. ] All things con sidered , the marrlugo of Pnrnoll and Mrs. O'Shoa created very llttlo talk. Pnrn ll must bo disappointed , for although ho has posed as a sllont man and one who cared nothing for notoriety , thu latter hns realty been tha breath of Ufa to him. It was mainly on account of the prominence given him by the press that gained tucb n hold on tab Irish people , and cone know bettor than ho that as ho drops out of sight ho will drop out of mind. That f his marriage was not public Is not strange. Even Pnrnoll could hardly desire It to bo so considering past events. Bosldai , to bo married with a great show of secrecy aniworo.1 his purpose best , because It would attract the most attention , That tha atten tion has boon small Iscaused , by ucccmnU'ln the Engluu impure being brief end not Inter esting , , y Partial ! doubtless though paved the way - for a fro > h burst of notoriety by writing a letter In which ho permits It to bo Inferred that either ho or Mrs , O'Shoa signed Henry Campbell's name with his commit , tholo t- ten * relating to bouse routing. When Par- U InlU into the hand * of Tim Ilcaloy ho will hnvo n bad quarter of mi hour , partleu- Inrly M Parnell nnd Campbell do not agree. I'atncll say * ho is hnpplcrthnn ever ho was In Ms life. Some pcoplo doubt Mi , while others arc unulnd enough to suggest that In the future ho will tuivo no use for lira cs- cnp < M , ill ( oust to fur ni Mrs. O'Shea U con- corned. Ho Is living nt Present lit Brighton , which ho knew quite well before hi1 * mar riage. Ho will no longer attract attention tnt ho enters the front door or slides own Ilio water spout. Besides , his wlfo brii's ! ( enough money to word tho-to wonderful Iron minus which Pnrncll advor- tlseil In Interview * during the Kllkonnoy campaign. His next political fight will ho at Cnrlow , which It ono of a half do/on constituencies where ho has a fair oh inro of winning , for It lias H , < MJ tory voters , and If they refuse to vote for Paruoll's man thov won't vote for any other in.m. If Punioll Is dofeited nt Cnrlow It may bo assumed ho has not n chance to carry a slnglo scat In the general election. Wlion Mr. Gladstone loft town yesterday ho carried an ovoruo it , on hfs arm and wore a rose In his button hole. At the station ho was rccognUod by hundreds , who saluted , many cheering him. Gladstone simply re turned tlio salutation , but mrulo no speech. Perhaps ho thinks Harco'jrtU doing enough talking for the llboral party. Sir William Is now engaged In the clicurlul nnd coticcnial task of telling how often some of his opponents , notably Cbambarlalu , changed sides since tnotr entrance into par liament. Ho give * some hard raps , but Chamberlain returns them with Interest. Tlio Freeman's Journal thinks Hnrcourt will soon part company with Cilaustono and Morley - loy , as ho Is In favor of aiding the govern ment close session , while Gladstone and Morley are anxious as over to block the way whenever the chance often ) , after the manner of the minority party In America. Gladstone and Morlev pull together , and this according to the Froomans' Journal is deeply resented by Harcourt. Lord Randolph Churchill was heard from through letters In a London paper. Ho does not promise to enjoy roughing It for much of his letters consists of complaints about the grub on the steamship. Of breakfast h says : "Moats arc unworthy of description , ' and of lunch , "Aeain I dlstnln notice of the infamous productions of the galley and of dinner , "For the third time I only think of the cook to curse him. " He may not have so much to grumble about in the wilds of Africa , for ho won't have the satno cook and probably much loss grub. You have often ho.ird of Grotna Green ? Not of Kentucky , but of Scotland. An In teresting case , based on a Grotna Green mar riage , was sottloJ in court this week. This particular marriugo occurred In 1623 , Richard Foreman and Eli/.a Mayrick were the parties , and It was a runaway match. The grandchildren have asked the court fern n declaration of legitimacy. Among the witnesses Mrs. Armstrong , wlfo of Carlisle , an eiiL'Inoor , whoso father , a coachm in , for merly lived at G rctna Green nnd used to per form mirriago ? there. Her uncle was a blacksmith and all couples who came there were married by the blacksmith or coach man. Her father united as many as llftuon couples a yi'ar. The blaceksimth and coachman kept a register. A petition was granted that n Gretna Green marriage can bo proved Just as good as any other kind. England Is getting a dose of alien paupers. Russia's cxoatriated .lows are coming hereby by the ship load and parliament is bogged to stop the inllux. Parliament apparently does not know how to do it and the influx contin ues. There is an immense Increase in the number of cases' at the pollco courts in the East end in which interpreters are necessary. The cry Is "still thov como , " for England is recognized nil over Europe as home. Of r.ll interests other nations America does not got all iho undesirable material , though It may in time , unless congress interferes. The labor commission with Lord HartniKton at the head is in the throes of taking a lot of testimony. Tbo commission contains good material anil something may como from its deliberation , but It is hardly probable , as labor Is far more exacting hero than in America and Its interests are so diversified that It is almost Impossible to de vise any measure satisfactory to it. The result of the sweating commission's labors , ( Lord OulTcrin , chairman , ) has como to nothing and the chances are the labor commission will bo not more successful In Its labors. It simply stops the clamor for the time being. Labor is becoming a dominant factor In many parts of thu Brltisn domain. At a recent election in Now South Wales labor elected twenty-three candidates , the minis terialists forty-live , tbo opposition thirty-six nnd the independents three. There are thir ty-four elections undecided and the results may clvo the government a sufull majority , but labor Is the coming power in British pol itics. itics.A A big splash will bo made on the occasion of the loceptlon 10 tbo Gorman emperor on Saturday nt Shcornoss.

On July 8 n state performance will bo given at Covent Garden opera house. On the occasion Augustus Harris will charge 250 guineas for the royal box. Royalty pays for Its pleasure * here , and pays high. London and Liverpool ship owners are In arms against Chaplin's proposed regulation of the Atlantic cattle trade. They have Is sued an elaborate blue book stating their cnso. The complaining firms consti tute the majority of tno trade. Chap lin's excuse for the further regulation is that recently lifty-elgnt out of 11U head were lost on a steamer from Buenos Ayrcs , on which the fittings gave way. London and Liverpool men say there is no compari son between tbo carriage from America and Buenos Ayros. The Allou line Is among the most vigorous protestors. They maintain that further restrictions would paralyze the trade , and make the strong point that it would raise the prlco of boot in England beyond the reach of the millions. Chap lin's measure does not confer now powers on the board of agriculture , except the pow ers of conducting inquiries as to the cause of the loss of cattle at soa. Tuouch , I really think the board has such powers now , In which case the hullaballoo has not much foundation. William Henry Hurlbnrt is not out of the woods yot.

The fortunate ono < of the city are doing nil In their power to ulovlate the suffering of tuose who were deluged. Communication with the city by rail is entirely destroyed nnd It is only by fording swollen streams nnd wallowing through mud that anyone from outsldo ran reach the city. Nearly the wl.olo traclrfrom here to LcMars is washed out. The railroad briuge , ono of the heaviest on the Illinois Central , was entirely washed nway and ouo of the heavy stone piers was carried from sight by the force of the water. Intense indignation pre\ails against the dagos who have been sent hereby by the railroad company to repair the track. Farmers along the river hnvo been taking poods out of the water untl pil ing them up for claimants , and the dagos have been detected stealing them. A special police force has been appointed and every thing Is being done to stop the pillage.

The worst of the storm felt by the Illinois Central struck between Storm Lake and Sioux City nnd between Calumet nnd Onawa on the Sioux Fulls & Onawa division. The damage between Storm Lake and Cherokee was repaired in two days after the storm closed.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to TiiKBi-.K. ] At last Franco Is awake to the possibilities of the Chicago fair. A hundred enterprises are on foot. I learn privately that the government will in a fowd.ivsnsk for an appropriation of l.fiOO- 000 francs for the French dupirtmont In the fair. It Is proposed to transfer all the paintings In the salon of 1891) ) to Chicago. Artists here are ready to contribute JiOO.OOO francs for n building if they can got space in the fair grounds. This project Is warmly supported by Proust , French flno art commissioner to Chlcairo , whosavs that the transfer of the entire salon across the ocean would raise the fair nt once to n lilnh plane nnd ilro the hearts of Amer ican artists. Another big scheme partly organized is to reproduce at Chicago on a largo scale the famous cafe Abassadeuw , In the Champs clysecs. The Idea is to have Saulus , Ynottc , Guildbcrg and ether noted Parlsln cafe chantante stars , and have Joseph Vander- bill's $10,000 chef preside over tables accommodating SOO people. There Is hardly n can can dancer In Paris who does not expect to got an engagement in Chicago. 1 heard that Holland has refused to lend her most , famous paintings to the fair , even though the United States offered to send a man-of- war to tnko the priceless cargo over. Russia has promised to loan Important works of art. Italy sulkily refuses to take part in the fair , although n few weeks ngo Prince Comporoalo bogged mo to say ho was eager for Ameri cans to take part in the international fair nt Palermo next year. There is great anxiety In Paris to know how the struggle between Blaine nnd the president stands. All republican loaders on the continent speak bitterly of Harrison Ono leader told mo Blaine had boon humil iated in the dust by the president and his friends. They would not allow him to for give repented insults. It has leaked out that when Colonel Grant asked the Austrian government to remove the prohibition from American pork , ho was plainly told that Franco was the first to pro hibit and America must look to Paris. My honest opinion Is that prohibition will not bo rescinded while the McKlnloy law is in forco. The arrivals of Mrs. MoKoo nnd Mrs. Harrison made n social stir in Paris. The weather is so hot that the party has been quietly resting at Minister Hold's. A sjnall dinner party was given in their honor last night. Paris is crowded with Americans. It Is hard to get rooms in hotels. Seats on live lines of fashionable coaches that run from the Herald olllco nro alwnjs held days in advance. The English touguo is so familiar on the Avenue do Opera that it is refresh ing occasional ! } * to hear French spoken. In addition to 15,000 American residents , Consul General King estimated that there were over six thousand Americans It. hotels , not to spunk of the multitudes driven to Switzer land by the llorco sun. Through some neglect there Is to bo no formal celebration of the Fourth of July in Purls , except the usual rocoptlon at the lega tion. Speaker Reed is ravelling In Paris. Ho Is delighted over the nomination of McKlnloy. Ex-Assistant Postmaster-General Clarkson and his family have gene to London. Ho told mo that he had Just made n tour of the United States and was satisfied there was Just as much fighting blood in the republican party as over.

Occasional heavy rain storms through the week kept society from deserting the city. Have boon crowding tiny number of balls , dinners and receptions the past few days. Ono of the most surcessful social gather ings was that given by Madeleine Lorn altro on the Island Grauu lac Hob , bark of the Swiss chntolot. A beautiful llttlo theater had been erected where were nil kinds of games and dancing , while two of Mine. Lc- maltro's prettiest models pushad a wheel barrow full of flowers for ladles. When the party was at Its height a ferry boat was seen crossing , tilled with n party of the loudest , vulgarest lookinir English excursionists , causing dismay to hostess nnd guests , specially when the newcomers be gan to address the ladles in villainous French. Matters becoming critical , the sup posed Englishmen revealed themselves. They wcro friends in disguise. It was n prac tical joku and caused much merriment. Paris Is passing through an epidemic of strikes. First came the omnibus strlko which was won by the men. Next the wait ers struck for the honor of wearing their moustaches nnd carried their cause. Now , more serious to the general public , comes the bakers' striice. Our legs could wait for omnibusses , but wo cannot control our stomachs when threatened with Incic of broad. Sympathy was with the busmen , but Is not with the bakers. Moreover , the strlko Is llloclcal because the bakers' grievance is against the registry odlcos , which rob them. There Is no quoniou of wngos , therefore the baiters should make war against the regis trars , not against the m islets and public by stopping the supply of broad. The French are the largest broad eating people In the world , Paris consumes IS.OOJ- 000 pounds of bread daily. Wo have l.hOO bakeries employing 4,000 workmen , 900 bakeries only employing ono workman could supply the demand by extra Individual work. The government has already made prepara tions for a supply from Versailles , military bakeries in and around Paris and public re lief ovens. If the strlko continues today wo shall bo short of broad as the military ovens take a day to bent. Three hundred thous and , it is calculated could bo supplied today. By Sunday next the entire supply will bo necessary. Yesterday government oftlclals sontnround to nil the bakeries of any siio asking the number of workmen absent. According to the returns each establishment will bo sup plied this morning with tno necessary nmouutof loaves. Yesterday three-quarters of the workmen absented themselves. The distribution of this broad will bo made by tbo military commlsslarat wagons with n strong escort to prevent nny Intorforotico with Ibom. The militnry council will vote n sum necessary for the distribution. The bread trouble is not the only ono. Tt.e butchers and pastry makers tnJt last evening nt the Cirque d Ilafor nnd resolved to join the strlko. The strikers , curiously enough , have the uympUny of the barbers and wait- ur , more uspcclallt the latter , who suiter se verely from the exactions of the rogUtry of fice keepers. What all those traders want is to have their own ofllces , where n central .syndicate could supply hoip to masters. The men complain that the registry oillcos can not work the business In a legitimate man ner nnd find themselves compelled to use nil kinds of nefarious practices In order to make a living. Altogether U looks as If it might return tea a condition of affairs not known since the days Paris was buslcged. Prussians may yet sco the city fed on thu ticket system , wait ing In lung strings outside of the building where public relief will bo doled out. The Herald correspondent called on Messrs. Megrose , Poitior X Sohtaetor , Paris olllcuof the Broomo street dry goods tlrm , relative to the report of their being in commercial trouble. Portler , ono of the partners , In re ply said : "Shareholder and proprietors guar antee full payment of the engagements of the firm , both here and in Now York. The Paris branch alone Is in liquidation , but liquidation is uf a strictly private character. It Is to provide for a reorganisation of the now firm which will bo oMtabllshod within a very short tlmci , with sufllclcnt capital to carry on our business.

The ininistuitnl council which Emperor William has held preliminary to his departure on his coming foreign tour disposed temporarily of several questions re lating to the homo and foreign politics of the government. The ministers have received instructions to accelerate Iho negotiations fur the formation of n central European customs union , to leave the proposed commercial entente with Russia in .suspense , to treat the nntl-grnln law agitation as non-cxistont unless- food riots occur , nnd to issue a loan amounting to S,000HK ( ) marks to assist In furthering the enterprise of Major Wissmanu hi East Africa. Some proposals looking to the amelioration of the condition of the poor of East Prussia were also discussed at the council. Touching the now zollvoroln , the Swiss papers with French leanings erroneously state that the government at Homo has Its hands tied by the now tariff adopted by vote of tbo federal assembly. The negotiations which have thus fur boon concluded have disposed of this objection , each country's tariff bclnu subject to rearrangement by the coining conference ol the countries Interested In the drio- bund. The rollvaroln , It seems likely , will oxpodluto n customs agreement with Belgium nnd Holland , in which Luxemburg will share. Communications proceeding from Brussels and The ilnguu tend in that direc tion. Reeardlin. ' the grain laws agitation the as sumed indifference of the ministers doss not lesson the public ferment , and symptoms ot n iiopular outbreak in consequence of the high price of provisions have manifested themselves nt several places. Within a shtrt distance of the imperial palace nt Pottsdnra 40 ! ) women who were engaged In marketing became enraged nt the price demanded for potatoes , assaulted the dealers nud wrecked the maruot. The Tngblatt In Its Issue of tonight reports ; thnt Hcrr Miguel , Imperial minister of finnnco , in tt.o course of n conversation with n member of the rclchstag stated that only the present critical stage of the negotiations of commercial treaties prevented the govern ment from repealing the grain laws. The Berlin papers today comment upon the statement recently made by M. Floronse , ex- minister of foreign affairs of Franco , during the course of an interview , In which the ex- minister admitted the existence of a Franco- Russian alliance. M. Floronso declares that while ho hold the olllco of minister of foreign uiTulra diplomatic notes equlvnlontto 11 treaty were oxcbaiigcd between his government and Russia und that theeo notes arranged for common action by the two countries. M. Florer.so , who has Just returned from Mos cow , where ho met the c/.nr , adds that tha formation of this nllianco Is the work of the czar himself. These slatctrcnts , appearing slmlltnncously with the Bismarckian articles In the Ilnm- burKurNachrichten cnl'irging upon the dan ger of a too closu friendship with England as oflunslvo to Russia , hnvo evoked indignant ra < Olios from the scmi-ofllclul press , in which the Salisbury government Is openly spoken of as nn ally of the drlobuml. This nllusiou represents the ofllcinl bcllof that within q recent period Lord Salisbury hns become a party to n secret convention , committing his government so long ns It remains in power to concerted action with the drlebunu. The references mudo to the letters from Rome regarding the candidature of Cardinal Lavigerlu to the holy see have aroused tba antagonism of the Germans to the idea of a French pope. The Krou.clUmi : holds thnt It Is probabl that the successor to Leo XIII will bo drawn from the Italian cnrdlnalatu and If the next pope bo not an Italian then the choice of tha conclave will be Cardinal Gibbons of the arcbdioccso of Baltimore , acalnst whom neither national Jealousy nor international clerical differences can operate.
