l > < m > oT.Tul2.5 } Notstnco England many
years nj'o begun ( by chartering a number , of
swift ocean steamships , as auxiliary cruis
ers ) to buckle on her armor for n
struggle with Russia bus the situation
of affairs In Ktiropo been so turnatonlni ; as at
tlio present moment. This U no Idle theory ,
but It U n statement which can bo backed up
by undeniable facts. A platieo over the situ
ation Is nil that U neccai iry to convince thn
unboliovrr. The nations of Kuropo arc , fig
uratively speaking , slinking their fists at
each other In n most dangerous manner.
This state of affairs which has loni ? been
elumbprltif. , reached Its outward and visible
signs when some three weeks npo thu em
peror of Germany publicly announced that
the drlobuud , ortriplo alliance of defence ( if
not of offcnco ) , which had existed
for yearn between Germany , Austria
und Italy , had been renewed. Hut it must
bo remembered this triple alliance is , in effect -
foct , a quadruple alliance , which iu addition
to the powers mentioned , practically includes
IT * I England , her most powerful ally. To besuro ,
this renewal of warlike bundi between power
ful nations had long boon looked foiward to ,
nnd as an offset to It , UiHslan and French
newspapers had , forsomo considerable time
previously , boon loudly and repeatedly
slrummliJK the tune of u Franco-Russian
alliance.

KniMcr llliclin'H Detlnnuo.
The enemies of the drcibund know that
there wcro dlfllcultics in thu way and hoped
that the bond would riot be ronowcd. It was
renewed aad being soiled , \Villlain flaunted
it in the face of his enemies by his ostenta
tious visit to England , DV his welcome by
the powerful iron clad lleet , Dy his review of
England's citizen soldiery and by his ro-
uowcd friendly actions with tils rayul
craudmotbur , 'Queen Victoria , with her
inmllv und with the queen's nsttito pntno
J.1 minister , Lord Salisbury. While the Ger
man empeior was thus shoiving the enumies
of the driebund how friendly he was with
Kncland , the latter country was also shaking
her list at thcHO enemies. She did it oy
sending a powerful Ironclad fleet to Fume ,
whore it was rovlewed by the emperor of
Austria , who , on board the ling ship ( Her
Majesty's Snip Hen BOA- ) , uttered words
which "echoed very distinctly throughout
Kuropo. Ho Billet that ho hoped that in case
of war the terrible British array of war vessels -
sols would bo found lighting nn the side of
Austria. And ns if this was not significant
enough , Kngland sent the same great Hoot to
Venice , where it was present when King
Humbert of Italy launched n now Italian
Hag ship , the Citllia.
I'Vnnuc nml Ktissin. Awakened.
There wcro uttered most significant words ;
King Humbert addressing the British com
manding officer made n bpeech which startled
Europe , for Its plain talking was unex
pected. The substance of it was that it was
pleasant to contemplate the fact that in case
of war the British war vessels and the Ital
ian ironclads would bo lighting a common
cnumy. Hussia nnd Finnco had to notice
this very threatening aspect of affairs. The
reply commenced with the decoration cnn-
lorrod upon President Carnet of Franco by
the C7ar of liussia and this , was followed by
the visit of the Fionch fleet , now at Croti-
stndt , to Kussinn shotes There nt St. Pot-
crsbttrg tbo French admiral , Gcurvais , und
his ofltccts nro bolug banqitottod and other
wise welcomed with open nrms. The people -
plo of St. Petersburg and Cronstadt have
presented silver plate to the French ofllccrs
and the latter are now the "luius of the diy"
in Hussia.
Hut this la not nil. Just ns the French
oftlcors roach St. Petersburg the Huss Kij
Invalid , the orean of tno Russian wnroftlco ,
nnnoiinccs that n military depot Is to bo
formed nt ICneschk , a short distance from
Herat ( the "gate of India" ) , in Afghanistan.
A Russian military depot nt tbo "gate of
India" is a fact too signlllcant to bu passed
over In silence. It is an open threat , another
atop forward in Russia's inarch upon the
Hrllish possessions in India , nn'l these who
have rend that stoiy entitled "Tho Russians
ot the Gates of Herat , " well know the real
- value , the real meaning of this movement.
In days gene by the establishment of this
depot would have amounted to n casus bolll
between England mid Russia.
Franco Will ItliifT 11 Lilttlo.
Folio whig close upon this announcement
comes the news from Paris that President
Carnal has intimated that the French gov
ernment will return the Kussinn and other
Hags which were captured by the French
troops ( duriiiL.- the Crimean war ) from the
Hussion church in the Crimea , nnd which
liavo since been deposited in the church of
Kotro Uiimo at Purls. Nor is this all. The
nveragoHritishor , ns is well known , has a
supreme contempt for "foreigners" In gen
eral nnd for Frenchman In particular. For
the French army ho may have a little re
spect ( on account of tbo Crimea ) ; for tbo
1 touch navy ho has none ( by reason of the
Trafalgar , etc ) . Franco knows this , nud In
order to gtv& the moro sober minded class
of Englishmen a chance to think over
what they are doItiL' , to weigh the drelbund
chances , she will , shortly , send u powerful
nnd modern iron-clad Hoot on n visit to Port
Smith , England's ' great naval stronghold , so
that the class of Englishmen roferiod to can
see that Finnco Is not to bo despised upon
the water now that stimm. lion walls , breech
loaders , electricity and skill have taken the
place of the wooden walls , rough seamanship
nud brute endurance of the sailors of old.
And so the situation rests at piosent nnd
the German emperor Is whulo tUliintr. It
needs , however , but a spark of extra fierce-
iicss to cause the explosion which must
eventually result from this state of armed
peaca and which will without doubt bo u
relief to all concerned.

Li.vcoi.v , NoU , July 2 , " ) . f Special to TIIK
IJrB.I The board of public lands and build
ings has returned from Norfolk and reports
the improvements nt the hospital making
satlslactory progress. They consist of a
storehouse nnd of a mammoth eibtorn for
storing rain w.itcr for the boilers , on account
of the unsuitableness of Jho well water.
While at Norfolk the board gave
an nudlcuco to John T. Leo , the
discharged employe who has bcon
making charges of mismanagement against
the institution. Leo wants nn investigation
of the treatment of n patient who died eigh
teen months ago. According to the testi
mony of Leo himself the patient , was a
vicious case who uoodod force for his control.
The unfortunate had a mania for lighting ,
and when ho came in contact with the at
tendants the latter occasionally had to strike
htm to defend themselves.
The members of the board called on the
coroner , who is also an undertaker , and
nskod for his opinion. The coroner said there
wore bruises on the body of the dead p.Ulout ,
but apparently none of them nt nil serious ,
nnd the case exulted no particular comment
at the time ,
Lee nlsn charges that Superintendent
\Vilktnson drew money for thu expanse of
patients before It was needed. From thu
examination of the board It seems that the
superintendent once draw $10 for the travel
ing xponses of several patients , but the lat
ter Id not leave thu hospital as soon as was
expected , bocnuso tbo persons designated to
take charge of thorn delayed their coming.
Superintendent U'illtinson made no effort to
conceal nn > thing , but frankly invited thu
board to inako thu fullest Investigation. He
opened the books nnd showed that thu $10 re
ferred to was used for the purpose for which
it was drnvui ,
The board made a minute of Leo's charges
nnd will look Into them , but none of Us mem
bers tnko miy stock In ttio man. Ho was a
ward supervisor , but made no complaint
until notitled of bis discharge n short time
ngo. Ills looks uro against him , and the
board found no ono at Norfolk who
had n good word for him , On the ether hand ,
the board found abundant evidence l-i the
hospital of careful mnnngoment. They In
spected the building thoroughly and exam
ined the books freely , lludlug an excellent
system of accounts in use. The visiting oftl-
cials express thomsalvus as moro than onli-
narlly well pleased with the condition und
the management of the hospital--except that
they cannot fathom the reasons which
prompted the location of the Institution on
the top of n sand hill.

The father of Mrs. Tilllo Schnonlor , the
woman who was drowned In the Klkhoru
river near her homo ton miles west of Mil
lard stntlon Tliiusd.iy nftornoon , ontortnlns
serious doubts that it was a case of sutuldo
as at Hist loported , and intliiutos that someone
ono else may huvo bojn icsponilblu for her
death.
Deceased was a daughter of Mr and Mr * .
Herman H.iumor of Woil Omaha , both of
whom nro Ki'uJtly excited ovur tbo unfortu
nate occurronco. Mr. Baumor pama
into the city \estorday morning mid con
sulted with a number of his relatives
and frlunds. He reared that the story
of the woman's ' death was not ns mid bcon
circulated and that it was unlikely n young
married woman of twunty-ono would , wlillo
In thu onjovmont of good health , unless other
wise impelled , think of committing suidilo.
Ho was strongly Inclined to the belief that
the voting woman bud been duliburutuly
pushed or thrown Into the river , Ito co.ilil
not say that ho had anv pursonal knowledge
of the occurrence , lie bated his opinion
upon .surmise.
Mis , Schneider , it seems , mntrlml her
husband about lour je.irs nuo , whnn she was
but seventeen ycais old. At tbo llmo she 10-
sidud with her parents In West Uiiintm , whom
Si lineldurvolkrd Ilolh father nnd uiothur
oppoiod the nuptials. Finding , however ,
that the girl was dutoi mined to wed , thu old
folks withdraw their objection.
Since the maiilagi ) , thu duuirhtor , It is as
serted , lias not visited the old homo , It bolnir
thu linpie sion that hur husband was opposed
to such familiarity. Last Sunday Mr and
Mrs. Schneider spoilt the day In the nolgli-
burnood nf her pit en u1 homo lint did not visit
them , ruiimlntng at lliu Itouso of n filuud.
H is nssortud th.it Kelmutilor has been

iiuuncy , treated his wife with gi-uat suv r'ty '
Friends of the l.t'tor sny that this tiuiitmont
might have nlTcclud thu young uomun's mind
and impellud her to bc'lf-destruution.
Schneider lives on thu Kluliorn and spmuls

luttur who liuard lliu cnm of thu drowning

see what had occasioned them , bubuid thn
hnsbtnd of the unfortunate fum ilo in tiio

could bo done In tliu promises until

timo.
