froir St. Paul's cathedral.
What an ever changing panorama this
colossus of cities proicnts , with its ceaseless
stream of humanity pouring through the
throbbing arteries of commerce and industry !
Never biiforo did I roati/.o the vustness of
this modern Babylon and the magnitude of
the wealth thntpouw Into her lap from every
land under the sun. The teas and silks of
China , the spices of Arabia and India , the
Ivory nnd gold dust of Africa , the wool and
gold of Australia , the hides and dye-woods of
South America , 'tho ' cotton of Egypt and
America , the coffees of Java and Bra/.il , all
flnd their way hero , and have their prices
fixed In the London market. Lasl , but by no
means least , this ii the clearing house of the
world. Within a stone's ' throw of the
grand and gloomy old Bank of England you
may read the signs of banking houses for
India and New /calami , British Columbia
and Central Africa , China and Argentine.
The vaults of those institutions contain the
capital that vitalizes and controls almost
ovcrv great enterprise and Important invest

Ten days In London and not a bit of fog ,
not oven a cloudy sky. The bright sunny
days vividly recall the most delightful spring
season in Nebraska. I confess I have been
ncrecably dlsappjlutod lu the weather as I
have been in regard to many other things ,
notably in thu clean streets , great public
squares , spacious drives and magnificent nnd
well kept parks , Tbo broad boulevards
public gardens and parkscovcrlng thousands ,
of acres , arc uot located in distant suburbs ,
but
in the Very Heart of London.
They are accessible alike to rich aud poor.
The Victoria Embankment , St. Janlos' park ,
Kensington pardons , Hyde park , Regent's
park and Victoria park are thronged by hun
dreds of thousands of'pooplo of all classes
from dawn until late every clear summer
cvo'hing and moro especially Sunday uftor- ,
uoon.
Tbo monumental structures , public buildIngs -
Ings , museums and art galleries of London
have boon described so often that I scarcely
could bo justified In thrashing over old
ftraws. The tower with its m.issivo
masonry , quaint collection of armor
and at'iin of the feudal ages ,
ho crown Jiwels of British monarchs , glit
tering with precious stones , the chambers of
horrorb with inscriptions carved upon tholr
blackened walls by prisoners of state , uwalcou
a deep interest and recall some of the black
est pages in England's blood-stained history.
Westminster Al > l > oy.
Wo visited Westminster Abbey where nro
situated England's royal burial vaults an d
numerous monuments to men who have
r achieved renown In every walk of life. No
nation on earth over p.ild moro generous
tribute to patriotism and genius. Sldo by
side with kings , queens and knighted war
riors are burled and Immortalized in alabas
ter , granlto , marble and bronze , England's
great poets , actors , sculptors , painters , en
gineering architects , doctors , preachers and
political leaders. I shall only venture to
point ou > . such as most forcibly impressed mo
whllo In the abbey. The colossal bronze
r Btatuo standing upon a hugo granite pedestal
recently erected ou the Thames embankment
Is Inscribed to Lord Boaconsflold , but the
life slzo marblii statue near the spot where
rests the mortal r jn ; ilus of the great tory
leader bears tin si 'iilllcant simple inscrip
tion "Benjamin O'Israeli. " In thosaaia atslo
of Westminster are the monuments of Wil
liam I'itt , Lord Chatham , I'.Umuv.Uon , Sir
Robert Peel and the three Chaunings. lu
the adjoining alsla are the tablets aud statues
of Balfo , the nomposer , Wllborforoo , the
abolition loader , Sir Isaao Nowtou and
Charles Darwin. Near the poet's corner are the
tablets of David GarncK by the suta of Addi-
BOU , Thackeray nnd Lord Mneaulay. On the
opposite sldo lie Coleridge , Robert Burns and
SoutUey. The bust of America's greatest
, . " . jioot , Henry W. Longfellow , Is placed by the
nldo of Dryden and .archbishop Tail. In the
baptistry at ttio west end of the abbey ara
burled John Woiloy , the founder of MethodIsm -
Ism , and Dr. Isaac Watts , thu famous hymn
writ or , and lu the .saina alslo Is n monument
to Major John Andre , executed as a British
spy near West Point during thj revolution
ary war. Among the royal vaults the icost
Intoi-ening nro the tombiof Mary Stuart aad
Queen ElUaboth. Above Mary Stuart's
tomb la a tablet bearing a fao .simile of the
order of James I directing the burial of the
qiiocu by the sldo of her sisters , but the fact
that the gorgeous tomb of ElUaboth Is lu on
adjoining chapel would Indicate a disposition
to separate thu royal quoonsoven after death.
An ancient and very curious rollo in the
abbey U the coronation chair made lor Queen
Mary , which Is loaned down with a pleco of
stone flagging under the seat , said to bo
the stone ol Scone , the emblem of power of
Scottish prluccs.
St Paul'H Cathedral.
SU Paul's cathedral , the third largest
church odttlco la the world , and tha most im
posing classic structure of the world's ' me
tropolis , la a supplementary national tem
ple of fume to Westminster abbey.
1U monuments and tablets are chiefly
memorials of England's military anil
aaval heroes , The mausoleum erected over
the remains of Wellington and the statues
of Kelson aait Napier are tbo most magnifi
cent. Among the latent monuments I noticed
the sarcophagus , tomb and bronze etllgy of
General Gordon , who lost his life at Khar
toum. The eraudcur of St. Paul's does uot
luipreti lUolf upon you at first light , but
when rou hive traversed the Interior you bo-
gin to realize its vast proportions. Although
begun mdro than two hundred yonw ago the
great caehodral Is not yet flnUhed. Moro
thnn two-thirds of the interior is yet to bo
decorated and the work Is only progressing

would make air Christopher \Vrcn turn In
his grave if ho could sco tno bare stone walls
and ceilings of this monumental structure
and the soot strcakod exterior. *
It Is singular that the parliament houses ,
Westminster Abbey , the National ciillery ,
.St. Paul's and in fuutall the public buildings
in London nro marred riiut ( .oiled by the thou
sands of plireons that arc allowed to roostnnd
breed ou their cornice * , porticoes and towers ,
The llrltisli MiiHonni.
The British museum , with Its vast and un
rivalled collection of Egyptian , Assyrian , Bub-
ylonlnii , I'orslnn , Greek and Roman sculp
ture , paintings , arms , implements and orna
ment" , with its treasures of coins , medals ,
manuscripts and autographs , Is nlonu worth
a trip across the Atlantic. The zoological
gardens In Regent's pane Is a modern Noah's
ork with specimens of the animals , birds and
reptile- , extant In every land under the sun ,
besides an aquarium and Insect bouse. The
South Kensington museum contains a sec
tion that corresponds wltn the patent
ofllco museum at Washington. Hero I viewed
ttio first sun and planet engine , built by
Jnmcs Watts In JTSS , and the remains of the
Cornish engine patented In 17(10 ( , to which
Watts attached his pump condenser In 177 * .
Another very iiitcrostlnt ; relic is Stephen-
son's first locomotive , the Rocket , built at
Newcastle on Tyno in IS'JO. The drive-
wheels on ono sldo of this historic engine
nro wood in the center , with Iran tires , and
on the other have wooden spokes and the
piston rod Is also wood. The cylinder Is
eight Inches In diameter and the boiler ono-
eighth of an inch thick. The stuck is an
ordinary plpo about nine feet above the
boiler , which is almost burned out. Then
comes the four-wheeled locomotive , Ango-
norla , built in 1WJ. Hero also Is exhibited
the original Pulling Billy , a colliery locomo
tive that commenced working In Ihlll , and
the high-pressure steam engine Richard
Trevltohlck , the llrst steam engine used for
drawing a threshing machine as far back as
180.2. Another curiosity is a coffin-shaped
hand ilro engine with a water box 2 f feet by
7 feet , built in 17'JI. Hero also is to bo seen
the printing pi ess alleged to have boon used
by Benjamin Franklin when ho worked in this
city as a job printer. But all those
things have been written up so often as to bo
commonplace. My
Impressions or London.
as a city can be summed up in few words.
The principal thoroughfares will not compare
in point of architecture with Broadway , New
York , or oven State street in Chicago , Ex-
ccpting thrco or four of the largest hotels no
buildings nso above the fifth story. There is
great variety in the style of stores and dwell
ings that divest the view of the monotony
which characterizes many streets is our
largest cities , but there are no palatial stores
and few shop windows exhibit an artistic and
tasteful display of wares. Ou the other
hand , the great public squares , with their
lofty monumental .shafts and statues and
their great fountains , are without a counter
part oven in monumental Washinctoii.
The' facilities for travel in tne commercial
center of London are inferior to those of
leading American cities. Two-story omni
buses , hansom cabs and the underground
railway , with its smoky and dingy subways ,
are the mediums of transportation. There
Is , however , no wire nuisances. Telegraph ,
telephone and electric light wires are planted
underground , and I noticed that many of
these wire ducts are laid only two feet
deep under the sidewalk and so arranged
thnt.tcstsand repairs can bo made readily
without blockading street travel.
This Is only a surface view. There is much
about the streets of London that strikes ono
as quaint and queer , especially in the remote
portions of the old city , with Its narrow
lanes and alleys , swarming with a poverty-
stricken population.
My observation among the wage workers
and glimpses of their mode of living nro
necessarily deferred for a later letter In
which I propose to group the working pee
pie of British factory towns , including
Swansea , Birmingham and Manchester. I
am also constrained to omit comment on the
postal and telegraph systems into which I
have made exhaustive inquiry.

rule movement In Ireland , issued today an
address to "Tho friends of homo rule for

The address , continuing , denounces Par-

blunders , his hostility to that powerful party
In England which under the express prom
ises of Mr. Gladstone Is solemnly expected
to give homo rule to Ireland , his Intolerant
be.irlng towards the hiujority of the Irish
parliamentary party , nls insults to the ven
erable ecclesiastics and his cold-ncnrtcd
treatment of the evicted tenantry in locking
up R > OQUOO Idly lu the bank vaults of Paris.
In conclusion the address soys : "Wo are
on the eve of a general election. It is con
ceded on nil sides that the question of homo
rule will bo holtlcd favorably or adversely by
this election for another generation , at least.
Wo therefore Invite all who sympathize with
the cause to lend their assistance , to enroll

Another KouJi Case.
Tuberculosis cure once again Is to the front ,
not only in frigid academics aad scien
tific circles but in the clubs
and cafes. The newspaper question agitated
is , has Dr. L-innelonguo discovered a remedy
for this terrlbln disease ! It was on Tuesday
last tint M. Lannelonguo read his paper lu
which ho disclosed results in treating infan
tile cases of tuberculosis , with injections of
chloruro of ztiie. The very next day
ho was besieged with hundreds of
letters from tuberculous patients in Paris
ami now thousands from Germany , Italy ,
England , Russia , Spain and Switzerland uro
following in upon him , The excitement is
almost as great as that which followed Dr.
Koch's announcement. The tuborcaline
public is not always In a feverish haste to
apply prematurely any medical discovery ,
but they are In a presence or sort of univer
sal panacea , and much interest is taken in a
letter from an eminent American physician ,
who , to the editorof the lorald , expresses a
great deal of sound common sense in refer
ence to the discovery. ' The letter Is as fol
lows :
To the IMItors of the Herald : There was
was quite an exciting time In the academy of
medicine when M. Lannoloniie read from a
skillfully prepared paporon the treatment of
surgical tubareulosls In cases of children by
means of Injections of chlururo of zinc. All
the newspapers , poMtlcal and others , were
filled with accounts of the discovery noxtduy.
The emotion caused by chloruroof zlno theory
was unlike that whichwris nroducod through
out Europe and America when Koch pro
claimed his tuborcullno Idea. Today It Is al
most forgotten. The emp'oyment of chloruro
of zinc Is nevertheless hut abso'utoly ' now
and ono of the nio-'V eminent mem
bers of a scientific gathering , ono
of the ncstors of KretiC'.i surgery , Prof.
Loon Lofort replied \o 'n. ' Lannelonguo by
reading a summary ot.fiivork on the same
suujcot published In 1877A ; 'to reading of this
treatise made a decided It&ruWon upon those
present , who had for an tap- : been Uo'.d by the
charm of SI. LannolonsuiS'clo.iuenco. What
conclusions are to bo clrr.yn .ind what advice
ought a perfectly Independent man to give
the readers of the Heraldc Must wo summon
to Paris tuberculosis putlants who have been
Impervious to the famous tuborcullno and
prevail upon them to ui(5cr { ( o a now treat
ment ? I don't think so Ifecauso , as yet , wo
have to do only with experiments which are
very interesting It Is true , but , as I'rof. Loon
Lofort , to whom Is due u share of the honor of
the discovery , remarked. It Is not yet
decisive , hence wo should wait until
the facts are moro demonstrative. .
It Is essential and of importance to the non-
mcdlcal press that It should moderate publto
opinion , always prone to becOme Intensely
onlhus'uHtlc over medical discoveries , and in
form tuberculous patient's who had already
hud several lessons by the absolute futility
of the Horlln experiments that the encour
aging visions now placed bufoio tholr
eyes , nriy yet turn .wit to bo only a
mlraire , md to cure tulioreulosls by other
means than liy.-one and ( Jpen air Is still to bo
discovered. Science should ho grateful to
Laiinelunguo for the now road ho has opened
and newspapers should elicimru o him to con
tinue his researches , but tuberculosis patients
.should watt until the method Is moro conclu
sively established , if they'AVSI ! ! to avoid re

I could see faces of Americans peering out

The Kugllsh people have had their heads
quite lull of the Gorman emperor all week.
They have taken a fanny to him and ho ro-
ti.rns the compliment. All our public men
hnvo shown him the utmost deference and
attention. It Is now a great secret that the
queen has bad long and Importnntconferences
with him at homo , a trace of
which Is reflected In the emperor's reference
to the queen at Guild hall as a lady great lu
the wisdom of her counsels. Ho has also con
versed much with Lord Salisbury , and his
visit to Hattlcld on Sunday will strengthen
the good understanding already existing be
tween them. It would bo n great mistake to
look upon this visit as ono of politics only.
It possesses high political Importance , and
may materially shape the course of lOuropc.in
politics for some years to come. It is true
England has no army worth considering , hut
she has pleat } ' of money. The emperor prob
ably did not forget that when ho went into
the city Friday. The sinews of war are to
bo found there lu profusion , and men and
arms are easily picked up any whoro.
Some papers uro trying to make out that
the visit has been a failure , but they nothing
about It. It is a far greater success than anyone
ono ventured to anticipate. The queen , the
prince of Wales and the governing men of
the country have been delighted with the
emperor and established with him relations
uot henceforth to be shaken by Intermeddlers
in Franco or olsowhero. I give you the opin
ion of the best informed persons in power and
responsibility when I toll you that the allf-
anco between England and Germany though
Informal is infinitely stronger than over it
has been ooforo and ttiat it is a potent influ
ence which other great European powers
cannot henceforth afford to leave out of sight.

With the general public tbo emperor has
burst into sudden popularity , not becnube ho
has shown sn much energy and spirit during
his visit , but because hois the queen's ' grand
son and tells bo is proud of it , bovauso ho Is
young , because ho upset Prlnco Bismarck ,
because ho is a genuine man , strong , fearless ,
masterful. The only disappointment I have
heard expressed Is that ho Is not so tall as
some people expected. In private dross ,
which ho has only worn on ono occasion , ho
looks oven shorter. That may bo tlio reason
for his preferring to appear In uniform.

apparel. After all that plain black frock
coat and continuations , and a white hat are
rather commonplace. Ho does not show to
so much advantage in a carriage as on horse
back. Yesterday people could scaroly see
him. The Empress looks grander and taller
and her largo parasol partly helped to blot
out the emperor. At Guild hall , hou-
ever , ho produced a great impression
by his straight anc soldierly bearing
ns well as by the firm and
manly tone in which ho made his speech.
There Is nothing moro German in bis accent

Whatever ho may bo elsewhere with us
ho has been all graciousness and smlios. Ho
seems really pleased with the hearty hurrahs
of the people in the streets nud with cordial
salutations which greet him wherever ho
goes. I am told that ho exclaimed on Friday
after his return from the city ; "Wh.it a
fine people this is. No wonder it has made
so great a reputation in the world. "
Ho remembers also everybody whom ho
saw hero as a boy. At tbo queen's state ball
last night bo repeatedly stopped aside to
shaVq bands with some old friend.
"I fool almost as if I were at homo , " ho
said to ono. Everybody Is delighted with
his courtesy and winning manners. I am
assured that on Thursday , after leaving the
aarden party at Murlborough house , ho was
received with even tnoro enthusiasm than
was accorded to the queen , but this may
have boon owing to the desire to give the
stranger a hearty welcome. Whether tha
emperor sleeps or not is a question. Certain
It Is that hU sulto and servants do not got
much rest. The other morning his horse was
not ready at 11:30 : , and there was
trouble ill the family. Ho could m t
have gone to bed before a or 3 o'clock
hls morning and ho was up before 7 , and has
been pushing on with his engagements like a
a tea in engine all day. Ho will take away
with him on Monday the hearty admiration
of the English peoplo. Ho does enough work
for any throa men , and comes up smiling all
the tlmo. If bo remained another month the
British publlo would want lo keep him hero
altogether. Mi\niiit : : OK PAHMAMUNT.

Bmti.iN , July 11. The pnpers of this city
overflow with accounts of the popular tri
umph of Emperor William in London. Tha
scml-ontclnl papers , lu commenting ou the
reception of the German emperor in England1 ,
adopt a guarded tone and avoid all reference
to an alliance with England ns aa
accomplished fact. Those papers simply
ro-ccho the emperor's speech at Guild hall.
The independent papers criticise the emper
or's ' reception as emphasising the friendly
sentiments of England towards Germany
and towards the emperor as a relative of the
royal family without being a popular en
dorsement of the policy of Lord Salisbury.
The radical papers regard the celebrations as
an opca declaration of England's ' adhoslou to
the drclbund.

Articles In the Husslan and French press
Illustrating the Intensity of the feeling la
Russia and Franco towards England are
largely quoted. A startling report which
has caused considerable talk In diplomatic ;

is to the clToct that M. Htbot , the French

fended his recent patriotic declarations that

through practical legislation. A majority ot
the Munich socialists approved of the views
of Ilcrr Vollmor , though a small minority ex
pressed a widely different opinion.
At a mass moating in Berlin on Thursday
It was apparent that the young section of
tbo socialist party were present in unusual
strength. At this mooting Herr \YlldbLTKOC
made a speech and denounced members
of the party as traitors to the cause of
