Lovnov , Juno 27. [ 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.

LONDON , Juno 27. [ 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

Inrly M Parnell nnd Campbell do not agree.
I'atncll say * ho is hnpplcrthnn ever ho was

others arc unulnd enough to suggest that In
the future ho will tuivo no use for lira cs-

His next political fight will ho at Cnrlow ,

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.

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.

accurate Idea of the nature of the damage
done horn. Cherokee bus in the last year in
creased its population by 000. Many of these
nro young people , Just starting in life. Rail
road employes nud mechanics , the hard work
ers nnd builders of cities , with but a limited
supply of this world's goods , who
have boon saving to build u homo ,
have lost that homo and nil
their effects. Every endeavor Is being
made to rescue from the waters such goods
as possible , and n largo building has been
retained In which goods found can be stored.
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 following appeal was made today

The damage done will reach $ .T)0,0X ( ) . Every

outsliio of caring for those who have been

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. The Llttlo Sioux river bride east of

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

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.

Special to Tin : Bui.l The weather con
tinues very warm. 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

is uf a strictly private character. It Is to

which will bo oMtabllshod within a very short
tlmci , with sufllclcnt capital to carry on our

publication , but li. private convocation gave
reasons , which appeared to bo amplu , to
Justify the action taken by the firm.

BKKMN- , Juno 27. 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
