BKIII.I.V , Aug. la. Emperor William has
decisively squelched the proposed Berlin In
ternational exhibition. Tonight's Uolchs-
iinzlegor states that thq em per or , noting on a
report from Chancellor von Caprlvl , has
withdrawn nil official supper ! from the
scheme. The chancellor's report declurcs , It
is fiulJ , that tbu reasons for not approving of
the exhibition are that only a small portion
of tbo German industrial societies bold that
nti oxhlbition was desirable and that u ma
jority of the federal government denied its
necessity on economic grounds. In this in-
stunco Iho ompnror , who personally fnvpred
the holding of nn exhibition , nas bowed before -
fore tbo will of Ibo majority.
Attacks Upon the Ministry.
An Influential section of the press , chiefly
tbo ( national , liberal and frolslnnlgo organs ,
has bcon indulging In outspoken attacks
upon the ministers for submitting to the will
of the emperor regardless ot their duty to
tha country , und upon Ibo emperor for exor
cising despotic sway over every ministerial
dcparlmoiit. The resignation of Herr Horr-
furtb , Prussian minister of tbo Interior , Is
now credited nol lo u difference In a point of
pol'cy with Herr Miguel , Prussian mlnlslor
ol linancc , but bocuuso ho incurred the om-
poior's disfavor by combating tbo Schloss
lolt.'ry.
The Vojsischo Zcltung risks prosecution
by Iho publication of on urticlo under the
caplion of ' 'The Crown and the People , "
protesting against the personal bius of the
emperor in swaying all Important affairs of
stuto policy. "Tbo ( ministers slavishly ask , "
says the Vosslscho Zjltunp , "nol what is
best for the country , but what will please
the ornporor. Everywhere the imperial per
son U brought forward ami the responsibility
of Uio cabinet is moroand'moro disregarded. "
This , the paper says , is a dangerous policy ,
because public opinion in far from approving
measures supposed to buvo llioir orlglnswilh

The commission on a commercial treaty
with Hussla has concluded Its discussions ,
It has recommended as u basis for the nego
tiations n decrease In the t a rill on Russian
grains and timber In exchange for u lowarad
tariff on German manufactures , especially
on Iron and stool. Tbo Russian commission
IKH already been appointed lo meet Ibo Ger

Apart from tbo tariff arrangements , the
Russian government uoks an Important con-
cesblon In the rescinding of the edict pre
venting the Holchsbank from making ad
vances on a Russian loan , The council of
the Kolchsbank has boon consulted and It

Cable Special to TUB BBU. | The deed Is
done.
Gliulstono Is on co moro prime minister
pending u few formalities wUieti nobody desires -
sires to impeao. You will have lioarti about
the great exoltomoiit attending Thursday
night's dabato nud llnul vote. To my eyes
tbo whole business bud a theatrical , artificial
look about It. One of our paper * speaks of
Ltie fata of tbo ministers "trombliuc In the
j.iliuicc , " just before division. Wbat nou-
sciibol Wo all of us know tbe result days
nu'o , and , except for doatb or Illness , not a
single vote uould bo uttoctoj. lint an ovation
iiad to bo got up for Gladstone , and bis entry
after division was well ttiuod for the
[ iurposo. Ho was kept back to tbo last.
Then a lane was made for him through tbo
crowd , and all his party stood up and
shouted. Tbo Irishmen worked tboinsolvos
into a genuine Cover. The old man walked
to his so.it , caraworn and weary looking ,
with a faint deprecating gesture , as much as
to say : "Do not make all ibis fuss about
me. I am not worthy it , " uud soon hurried
himself oil to bed.
! ! < > the Member * Actoil.
It was a crowded bouse. Every seat was
taken uud a lot of members wore obliged to
stand. Tbo now members were fussing
around as if they were about to decide tbo
fate of the universe. All that was a matter
ol course. There was Blake with his som
brero hat , but with an amazing display of
shirt front , Bitting on the IrUa benches.
Many of the now nationalists wore tboro ,
wild nud unfettered in their anas uud gon-
cral behavior , interruptlngChumbarlnin with
ycll.s and groans , and later on , when n member
of the government was foolishly put up
to spcuir , ulmoit basido tbomsolvos with
rage. There was Keir Hardio , with his
yellow trousers , brown flannel sblrt and
traveling cup costume , which never seems to
change , oven when he goes to bed. Nona ol
yeur clean shit t nonsense for thU gentleman.
Blake might lend him one of two of his
Niagara shirt fronts tbo next ti-no hn drives
down to the Ilouno with a brass band in a
bank holiday van , with bis portrait exhibited
as if ho were tbe veritable "Old Jacob Town-
sand's Sar aparllla. "
Tbe conservatives were all as spruce as
new pins. Most of them in evening dress
wore gorgeous flowers on their coats. There
is a gentleman with an orchid rivaling Cham
berlain's and another ono with green carna
tions which ths young daudtvs now atloct.
Qulfour bus a white lose. Gladstone , op
posite , sports a red rose. Harcoun lidgets
about all through the night us though on a
gridiron.
First bo comes in , baa a long animated
talk with Gladstone , then he goes out ten
mluutos , conies back and bus another talk ,
then off ugulu , comes back , and altogether
seouis as uneasy as a man waiting to have a
tooth out.
It llrliifrs Them Little Joy.
Indeed on tbo front of the Gladslonian
bench there were no slirns of joy or victory.
Morley was grave , oven downcast. What
with the Welsh party , with their ultimatum
and tbo labor party with theirs and two
Irish sections with theirs and Gladstone
manifestly yielding at last with the weight
of 83 yeuu , what t > ort of a government is
possible ) Who would bo rash enough to
Insure its life over lbU3 ? Humor Is that
Ilarcourt does not want to takes ofllco at
nil under present circumstances. Morley
must be stilt loss Inclined. Gladstone alouo
smiles when the llguroi are read out which
proclaim his success over Salisbury. A
more funereal party roturnlug.from what is
allod victory I never came azrois.
Why In the world Balfour should at the
last hour post II put up our horsey friend
Chaplin to speak no M. P. can guess , Tbo
house was tired of the debate and the wmd-
IDR-UP speech was not required. Poor
Chaplin wont floundering Into his Sorbonluu
bog of old speeches , , extracts from the blue
books and railing * and scrapings of tbo po
litical dusthcap. The now members , who
bad never boon him before , pursued him
with jeers , jibes nud mocking laughter. The
portly llguro , the tub-thumping style of
oratory , the dreary excursions beginning
with what Gladstone did in ' 85 , snnt them
into ills of mirth.
Tuniicr'H Sulillmu Impudence ,
In the midst of all Dr. Tanner walked
down the floor of the house with a largo
glass of water in his hand and coolly depos
ited it in front of Chaplin the most Impu
dent thing I buvo ever seen dune la the
House of Commons. Tbo speaker could not
Interfere. Thcro was no broach of order ,
and yet a most insulting act had bcon porno-
trulod , The Glndstonlans cheered Tanner
till they were bourse and tbo conservatives
could only look on in gloom , f r Chaplin's
speech vexed their souls also , and us
midnight approached and ha was still at it ,
an open revolt nearly broke out. Never did
a great ministry die uttering so weak last
words as that. Thbti the bolls , the rush Into
the division lobby , checking our names by
the clerks , tbo return to the house , the great
reception to Gladstone , ditto Halfour , the
radical yells on ono side , the doop-tDiiod tory
cheers on tbo other , the crush outsldo for
cabi and carnages , cheers lor Bailout1 as ho
walks bomowurd , and all ls over.
Thus cuds a ministry which bus laitod six
years , and thus begins mioihor which l
committed to a policy Its own chief has Dover
ynt worked out.

Special to THE Bui : . ] Everyone can ad-
mlro at the present moment the brilliant red
star which brightens the heavens with its
fiery light. ThU star will reign for several
months oveihcad. It shines with n greater
lustre than auy other In tno heavens , be
cause It Is now ut Us nearest point to the
earth , an event which has not token place
since 1837 , aud which will not recur beloro
1009.
1009.For
For moro than two centuries and n half
scientific observation bus been directed to
the analysts of this neighboring world. Wo
have gradually learned that this globe only
shines by reflected light ; that it Is composed ,
like the globe on which wo dwell , of conti
nents and seas ; that it Is surrounded by an
atmosphere In which thospoclrnlannlysU re
veals Iho presence of watery vapor ; that its
years &re twice ns long as ours ; that the sea
sons nro of ubout tbo same intensity as ours
but twice ns long. That Ils poles are covered
wllh snow in Iho winter und are almort en
tirely free from It in winter , and tbot its
climate closely resembles that of thu oartti.
In a word , that this other world appears to
bo habllabltablo lust as ours is.
Tbo last Uiirlhello anpoaranco of Mars in
18T7 resulted in curious discoveries , and
since then tbo progress of discovery bus
rapidly increased. At the observatory of
Milan Schiappcrclll succeeded In making the
topographic triangultttlon of n map of Mars
witn a precision almost equal to that of tcr-
restial map * , llo discovered Ibo famous
canals , which were at first iho object of so
mbcb uutural skepticism , but whoso exist
ence has bean confirmed by observation.
ItoscurchcH ut Jiuesy Heunrdnd.
Mars naturally occupies a foremost place
In tbo work of the observatory nt Juvcsy ,
and slnco the beginning of May nota ay bas
elapsed without the planet being observed
and drawings made.
( Ils astral docllimtlon , however , las | kept it
very little above our horizon , and It has not
been able to discngngo itself from Ibo low
lying mists. Nevertheless , wa have oblalncd
results which are not wanting In Interest.
Flritlar , with regard to the polar snows. It
Is no longer possible to ( doubt that the while
spots at the poles are duo to snow which
accumulates during tbo winter and molts
under the rays of the summer sun. Doubt
less , this si'ow , this -.voter , may differ in
some chemical properties from terrestrial
water , but It Is analogous in aspect and
transformations. Mars' atmosphere is moro
rarlflcd than ours and ligntor. The barometer -
motor is always at n low point and evapora
tion Is easier. The snows are less dense
and the Ice softer and melts easier , but there
remains the great analogy between them
Astronomical observation and spectral
analysis combined show us there Is real
water ilko , not Identical with , ours.
Tbo most characteristic fact this year re
lating to Iho higher austral polar snow , now
toward us , ui'.b an inclination of 11 ° in
May , 10 ° in June , 14 ° in January
and 12 ° in August , bas > been rapidly
disappearing under the heat of cummer.
Tbo austral hemisphere of Mars had Its
spring equinox May " 0 and will not have ils
summer solstice until Cclobcr Hi nnxt. Xov-
orlhele H , Ihe austral polar snow bas alreadv
diminished by three-fourths. Should this
rate of progression continue the polar snow
of Mars will havq almost entirely molted by
Iho summer solstice , a thing not hitherto
seen. May there has not boon In Mars us
with us , n hot summer without rain.
Scliliippurulll'ri CiumlH Coullrmutl.
A short and altogether senseless para
graph , concocted by some Ignoramus , has re
cently appeared In newspapers , stating that
the observations now bolng made of Mara
have not shown tbo enigmatic lines to which
the name of canals has been given , and thesj
alleged formations nro only fads of iho Ital
ian astronomer. It Is a pity such
gross , idiotic observations , which
displaj a want of even common
courtesy towards ono of Ibo most eminent
astronomers of modern limes , should have
boon laid before some millions of readers.
Tho' truth Is exact opposite. In splto of the
law position of tbo planet with regard to our
horizon and the consequent difficulty of
making observations , it Is certain that a
number of these canals hava been clearly
defined oven at tha observatory of Juvosy ,
whoso equatorial is of very moderate dimen
sions , 0,15 inches , but whoso observers are
zealous , ardent laborers.
[ Tbo Purls Herald gives many Illustrations
drawn byM. . Flummarion's colleagues at
Jurosy and described by M. Flammarion ,
who then continues ] :
I have been especially occupied in measur
ing Iho diameter of Mars and of Capo. As
regards the canals I have only been able to
recognize personally the passes of Nusmytb ,
tha Indus and the Ganges. The diameter of
Mart , I have uscortulnnd , bo nlno minutes

Lavcrrlos. Wo learn lhat tbo canals , these
already named or olhors , have boon scon by
observers , notably through Uio enormous
tnugnlllcont equatorial at Mount Hamilton.

Astronomers uro not agreed as to the Da
tura of these strange formations. That tbo
continents of Mars are crossed by u network
of lines , often perfectly straight aud of gec-
motrlcul aspect. Is undoubted by all who
bavo studied Ibo question , but it It dial-
cult to decide what Is the origin of
theio tracings. Tbo mouths of tbe principal
ones scorn to bo these of former rivers.
Nevertheless tboy are not real rivers , be
cause they do not have tholr orient In shut
In laud , but run direct from ono sea to an
other , and further , because they cross each
other. Tbli leads to the conclusion they ore

It will never be possible to explain

out of sight the possibility of an identical
rectification of tlio water courses any more
lhan Iho astronomers of Vcr.us coald explain
our railway systems , if tnoy persisted in re
fusing to admit any other influences affect

forces of nature. Wo cannot say this is ; wo
can only say ibis might bo , and should uhy
better explanation of tbe things that have
been observed on Mnrs bo forthcoming , we
are quite prepared lo accept It. If tbe
above , being only provisional , until a bottci
appears , it is bey ono doubt.
Il bus been observon that at certain
seasons canals hava bean seen doubled ,
formed of two parallel line * . That extra
ordinary phenomenon was ilrst observed in
