The HOWS of the trouble quickly sptoad nil about the city to judge from the crowds that poured down upon tno Yankee lads from all quarters.

It Is not oxagcrating In the least to say that the Baltimore's men fought llko tigers until they were biokon up.

In the docu ment ho cites copiously precedents for his couiso In extending an asylum to these persons and uctlncs his riehts. Ho also gives reasons why his de mand for the sufo conducts of the refugees should bo granted. Ho calls attention to a special case In point xvbero n Peruvian political refugee lied to the Chilian legation In Limn for protection. The Peruvian government insisted upon the surrender of the man , but tbo demand was refused by the Chilian min ister , who at the same time requested a safe conduct for the refugee aboard n Chilian vessel. His request was granted and the refugee lomovod to a Chilian gunboat at Callao. There will probably bo no reply to Minis ter Egau's communication by the junta until after the elections. The entire correspondence between the junta and Mr. Kgan furnishes n noteworthy review of the rights of political refugees under tlio ptotoetion of foreign legations. The hopes of the conservatives nro consid erably reduced. Instead of the fifty-live deputies whom they had claimed , they now say that the number will no't exceed forty-seven.

The diplo mats are at the mercy of the caprices of chance , > The deputies are the servants of their electors. But tnoio is another event really impor tant , which may result In a political and social revolution. It is the mooting at Er furt of the congress of German socialists. That Is to say , of the people in Germany who have the courage to sny that militarism is a misfortune , nnd that the difference between Germany and Franco , namely the Alsace-Lorraine question should bo settled otherwise than by war , nnd seeing that the progiess of tfo so cialists is constant , they must bo followed very closely. Yet again this week they won in the elec tions to tlio Saxon landtag. Last week they gained seats in an unexpected fashion in the Bavarian elections , it must bo noticed how Humorous they are , what they hnvo obtained and what they want. The number of social 1st * who voted at the elections in lb l was 101O.J7. That was small , and since that time the following has been the increase : In 1S74 , M 1,070 ; in 1S" > , IO,1-I47 , ; In 1873 , 4t7lfiS ! ; in ISsI , 311 , 51. Doomed by niHinnrulc. At this poiiod Prince Bismarck caused the anti-socialist laws to bo passed. In 18SI the socialist vote was 519,990 ; In 1887 , 703,128 ; nnd finally in 1S > 90 , Iau,6b7. Never In Europe has a party progressed in such man nor. In 1871 there was but ono so cialist deputy , M. Bellcl ; in 1890 there nro thirty-six. In 1S71 Berlin alone had socialist electors ; in 1890 they nro everywhere at Hamburif , Munich , Mannheim , Leipzig , ns also in the rural districts.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to Tin : line' . ] Mrs. Parnell remains in a precarious condition though during the lust two days she has slightly rallied. It has boon with the greatest dlfllcuHv that the doctors nnd her friends have prevailed upon her to take any food. Neither she nor Mr. Piirnell anticipated any danger until toward the last moment. Parnell had been almost as 111 often before but had i allied , but this time the tall tower was undermined and It fell with n crash. The immense pap oc- oasloncd by Its disappo.iranco is only just beginning to bo rcallrod. The truth is , the entire Irish party is moro hopelessly adrift than over. The Pnrneilites nro loud in their cries for revcngo nnd there has boon a won derful rally to thorn of the masses in Ireland who begin to take up the cry that Parnoll was lirst sacrificed for the English party nnd then worried into the grave , Ho is the John Brown of Irish politics. liilliiL'iiuc ot * IIlH Name. His nnmo exercises a magic influence over the Irish people. The secessionists cannot but sco that the crisis is becoming verv s e nous , They hoped for a reconciliation all around but their overtures have been flung back Into tboir faces. The Harringtons and the Hodmunda uro on the \\arpatn demanding manding the rebels' scalps. The priesU seem to bo frightened at the storm. John Dillon lias deemed it prudent to keep out of sight , leaving William O'Brien to endeavor to justify his action. McCarthy nnd O'Con ' nor nro presenting their side of the case \vitli great industry. The Parnol'ltcs ' are endeav oring to secure organs in the press and the uholo Held resounds with the clash of arms. There is some hope that Michael Uavltt maybe bo able to act as peacemaker , but the true Porncllites nro not wanting peace nnd will not have it on any terms at present.

Parnell intends If sho"ro- covers her health to write the memoir ot the great leader and to relieve him from much of the blnmo cast upon him on her ac count. There nro , I am assured , two sides of the O'Shea divorce , of which tlio public has heard only ono. Parnoll would never condescend to dofeud himself , espe cially aftc11 ho was assailed by Alr.Oladstono. He held that tbo Irish people ought to have seen that u dead set was mndo nt hjm because ho was England's most formidable antagonist. But Mrs. Parnell is determined that the whole tiuth shall como out. It will then bo sc"n ns I am Informed , that though I'urneU was not free from guilt , ho was nothing Hue so guilty as tlio wet Id nas been led to believe. Humors of tills kind were ullout before the trial und I believe some of Parueil's friends , who afterwards deserted him , put implicit faith in them. Something About Mrs. Parnell. Mrs. Parnoll will never play into the hands of her husband's enomlos. She i4 , woman of great ability nnd determination. She is not handsome but she is very winning In face and manner and passionately devoted to bor Into husband. She did her utmost to provide him with a happy homo during the last few harrassod months , of his llfo. Ho fled to It as u refuge from the storm , but nothing could restrain his o.igor- ncss to sot himself right with the Irish poo- pie. His ; vlfo's numo was never mentioned , but his thoughts weio never long away from her. His only defense of his conduct was that ho had not nctod treacherously or biokcn up a homo. If Mrs. Parnell carries out her present purpose this position will bn established oy fasts and documents which do uot admit of challenge or disproof. MiMmit : ov P-iuuiMuxr. LOOKING TO , lMiilia.l.

This Is an Innovation on all of the Stock exchange nab- its and therefore- provokes opposition , but business In American stocks has Increased so rapidly lu late years that some stops must bo taken to ennalbohours of busi ness ns botwcon New York nnd London. All that Is asked for at present is that part of tlio exchange bo kept open for the special use of the American dealers until 0 In the oven- mir. This would only bring the close of Dull ness In London to nbqut 1 o'clock In Now York. At present a vast amount of trans actions have to bo conducted on the curbstone oulMiloof the exchange. The consequence is that crowds collect there and pickpnclcots , who In splto of hard times preserve a good deal of confidence In the wealth of the stock exchange people , are always on the alert. Hobborles have been frequent. The police are unable to interfere. The treacherous climate hero throws a damper upon outdoor operation * of this kind and that It Is altogether gother a necessity to provide u reasonable degree of shelter U admitted on all sldos. The .stock exchange committee Is now considering the question.

As for the American market this week , It has preserved wonderful steadiness , considering the vigorous dashes made at It by operations In the bear Interest. On the other side these attacks are kept up systematically , although It Is not always easy to trace them to tholr source. Tills week Louisville & Nashville was singled out as an objective point for at tack. Owing , however , to the exertions of the firms of brokers nnd bankers hero who nro Interested in sustaining the American market , these efforts to break It have completely failed. Tbo week closed with an advance In Louisville nnd with a general strengthening of American stocks all around. Heading pnrtaices of the advance. It Is whispered that n now project will shortly bo brought before the public with a view to the con solidation oi all Heading securities and plac ing them on an entirely different basis , To Slinp'.ily Muttoi'H. The object of this Is to got rid of humorous claims by which the stock Is now broken up and to have one stock only bearing n llxcd rate of interest , and 10 place the property upon what is hold to bo a thoroughly secure foundation. I understand this schema has boon submitted to the most eminent houses in London and that it Is now under careful consideration. The English funds and Eng lish railroads are not very popular just now. It is a great disappointment to the largo classes of small holders of government stocks that the price of converted Consols remains so low. Before Mr. Goshon's measure was rirrlod out Consols were nt about 1011. They nro now 05 , nnd as the time nppioaches for a still further reduction in the rate of interest It Is generally antici pated that Ite price will sink to 00. As mat ters actually stand now holders of consols have lost r < 0 of every } 1,000 of their capital and an appreciable part of tholr Interest , hcnco the public ; continues to look to the United States for remunerative outlets for their capital. The great industries of this country , Jcotton , woolen and Iron manufactures , offer comparatively llttlo temptation for now enterprise.

It Is rare to hoar of now mills being started unless under limited liability companies , in which n good < dcpl of hocus poc'us is practiced at an nexpcnso to the share- holdcis. Genuine investments of money are diverted from the manufacturing districts * of Knglaud towards the United States and other countries. That accounts for the es tablishment at various points in America of mills and other works in connection with English houses , nmt nlso for the large amount of capital Invested in American breweries. The natural tendency will always bo to look to the United States for means of Investing surplus [ mtjnoy to advantage.

The fright over hurricanes nt sea were so great that many Americans gave up berths on steamers sail ing today and stand with noses flattened against window panes watching tbo rain and water swirling through the streots. There is Intense curiosity in Knglnnd as to the practical ufTect of the McKluley tariff upon British industries. It has drawn llro from Benjamin Polsom , the American consul atShcfllold , cousin of ex-Presldont Cleve land , who has made a full statement for the quaitur of British exports to the United States from Sheffield. The Daily Telegraph reproduces tbo llgures with elab orate comments. Though the effect of the MoKlnloy tariff is still severely felt , thcro is aslieht iccovory as compared with the pre ceding thrco quarters. During the past quarter the vnluo of cutlery exported to the United States has been A"iP,8M ( OsId. . In the corresponding quarter of IS'JO the value was . 71,770. This was above the average. Trade Slightly Itcuovcrinj ; . Owing to the dispatch , a heavy amount of goods got through the custom house before the imposition of higher duties. A fairer comparison \vould bo with the third quarter of ISS'.I ' , when the value was JC59.207 as com pared with Juno. The quarter of this year is an Improvement of 7,003 , nnd with the March quarter improvement of JC(500. ( ! ! Trade with America appears to bo slightly recover ing , although tbcro is no livelihood that it will regain the volume. Viewed in tlio most favorable light thcro Is a falling off of lully 50 per cont. The value nf stool exported is loss than any corresponding quarter since Ib87. Tlio total exports for last quarter amount to 113,000 , against .tl70,9tG ! in the corresponding quarter of last year. I saw l olsom In London yesterday , and bad a long chat with him. "Tho effect of the McKlnloy tariff upon Shonleld , " ho said , ' 'is not so serious as people expected. It Is true that theo is now hardly any call for lower or middle grades of cutlery , but , as in other branches of the industry affected by thoMcKlnley bill , the ex port of higher graaos Into America remains unchanged. Great Britain cannot compete with Amoi lean manu facturers in tlio Unltad States In the lower grades. German Competition. "Indeed Sheflleldcnni'ot compete with Ger mans in tlie.so grades. You can HndjGcrmar. pocket knives selling in Shonlold at retail at Od.which would cost bhoflicld manufacturers moio than Od to make. I road the sweeping statement medo by Mr. Potter In behalf of the Cobdcn club und I am satisfied that the attempt to create the impression that thcCobdon club Is trying to corrupt the morals nf American voters Is childish nonsense. The fact is the Cobdcn club cannot oven raise enough money to print its pamphlets. Thoio Is no blttor fooling against the United States among the manu facturer' ; of Sheffield. They admit frankly if they were the American manufacturer and could get the government to go Into partnership with thorn to the extent of DO or (10 ( per cent they would gladly seize the opportunity. They simply say , 'You Yankees by your tariff are making Yankees of us. Wo have got to conform to the new condi tions. ' The manufacturers , In Shcfllcld , see- inptho gradual loss of the Amoiiean trade , nro sending men all over the world to open up now markets. They are sending them to India , Now Zealand , Australia , Tasmania , West Indies und South Africa. " OppoHcd to ChuntrrH. "Tlio time was , " continued Folsoin , "when the great Sheffield houses had the greatest dinicultv inducing men to maka knives or tools on now patterns. They would slmnly refuse Mr. Hogors' cutlery. The manufac turers have told mo extraordinary stories about this. Now the pressure of competition has changed U. All agents of Shcllleld linns send back from distant countries samples of blades and tools acceptable and useful thcro. Those are promptly reproduced. " The Shoillold Telegraph , ono of the great est journals outside of London , bitterly com ments upon the offoctH of the MoKlnloy tnrllT as follows : "Its promoters meant It to push forward the policy of Americans for Amor- Ira. Ono method of icall/inglt was to kcop nil \ > oik within their own dominion. The country was to bo made self-supply Ing. What could bo pioducod at homo was not to bo bought abroad.

This would bo done pro vided the management of the Chicago dog show would onto to divide Iho expenses of transporting tbo dogs to nnd from Chicago and taking care of thoui dining tbo exposi tion. There is a .soprato Kennel club for al most every breed of dogs In Knglnnd. A good plan would bo to have each kennel club ngroo by vote upon certain dogs as types of their broods to bo sent to America. Tbo clubs might pay the expenses of the dogs to Now York and back , while the Chicago man agement could p\v the cost of transportation from Now York to Chicago nnd back and for maintenance during the show. I have talked with several Important 1'ngllsh dog owners and llnd they heartily favor the scheme. It would bo necessary to have Anglo-American jurors to make the show international. Benches would then have to bo open to the whole world , tlio conditions being that no dog bo accepted under the proposed terms unless endorsed by arccogni/ed kennel club. Colonel North would doubtless bo glad to send his best great breed of coursing hounds. Et\ \\H\i \ \ \ DI > K Brooding.
