LONDON , Aug. 14. ( New York World Crt-
Wegram Special Telegram. ) The death Ira
Just occurred In Yorkshire of one of the
most remarkable English sel'-mado men or
the century , Sir Isaac Holdcn. The sen of
n miner , he began life as a weaver's hey ,
educated hmieelf , became n schoolmaster and
then a bookkeeper In a Tweed mill. Ho
Invented first a wool combing machine , which
inudo his fortune at 40. He also Invented
the Inelfcr m.itch , but this Idea he did not
patent. Whcntho * protective tariffs abroad
Injured the Hradford woolen trade , Holden
opened mills at Calais , Hhelms and Lille ,
ivlicro tuo younger branches of hie family I
have Hlnco made fortunes. He lived to be
90 , though a man of extreme delicacy of
constitution , and ho always attributed his
longevity to his spare diet , which consisted
mainly of fruit and vegetables. Ho had
etrawborrles on his breakfast table all the
year round , his one extravagance being his
expenditure on the cultivation of fruit. He
was a little man of emaciated figure but
of great nervous energy , controlling all hl
undertakings himself. Ha accepted a bar
onetcy from Gladstone , who.-c policy he sup
ported for many years In Parliament , but he
refused a peerage. Ho Is said to have died
a millionaire.
DALY WANTS TO IE MAYOR.
John Daly , who was released last year
after serving twelve years' penal servitude
for rllcBed dynamite plotting , Is a candi
date for the ofllco of mayor of Limerick for
next year. The election takes place In
November and Daly Is pursuing already an
active canvass personally and by public
meetings. At prcoent he has a small majority
of the town council against him , but the
( power of the extreme Fenian party In Llm-
crlck Is BO considerable that ho Is confident
of tvcurlng a majority , either by direct
( voting or by abstention of waivers when the
day of election comes. A salary of 500 a
year attaches to the post , and the mayor l
ox-ofllelo chairman of the magisterial bencher
( or the city. Daly Is a man of undoubted
ability , but very wild and erratic In his talk.
.Tho government has no power to Interfere
with the dLvcretlon of the town council iu
its choice of a mayor , even If It desired.
iFew prominent Americans are now to be
ecen In London , but Mr. Hayard returned on
Thursday to his lodgings In Dover street ,

bray at his country seat. Mowbray la 0110

where she Is to write a new story.
GOBLET IS VERY SICK.
Mr , Goelet has returned to hit ) yacht , May
flower , at Cowes. His health Is very bad , to-
deed , and his family Is gravely alarmed. He
Atcmptod too much In the way of receiving
visitors on board during Cowes week and ho
la now paying the penalty by complete pros
tration. Work has had to be stopped on the
Mayflower , owing to his condition ,
.Judge Truax Is traveling In Scotland with
Jilo wife and will not bo back to London for
twenty days.
, Homburg's gaiety has not been wholly
eclipsed by the absence of the prlnco of
iWalcu , as the American set , which is largo
nnd representative , Is making things hum
'here. The American cotillon arranged and
carried out under the direction of Clarence
Majkoy and Harrison , was voted the prettleht
and brightest party given there for several
eeasons. Mlsa Rodgers and Mlsa llrotherbe
distributed the favors , being carried round
the room In a gondola of flowers , handing
baskets of white roses to the women and red
one * to men. The duke of Cambridge wa
present , being the center of a group cwislst-
Ing of Mrs. Tom Calley , Mrs. Burden , who

throats modified editions of the radical
measures as the only feasible tory policy.
The suggestion Is made by one of them that
ho should be availed and driven out of
public life for his dishonorable conduct In
connection with the Jameson raid and hlo
championship of Rhodes. Seeing that thin
attitude wa taken up.by Chamberlain to
* ( iuaro with the avowed tory ncntlmcnt.
their animus toward him will be apparent.
He treats these attacks with armimcd In

have their origin among his own cabinet

any way , for ho will change hl3 policy to

that the fac simile letters that have been

Labouehere's forged hU name to checks to

ENGLAND HAS AN OIUKCT.
Tliuo attacks ot nls constitute the retort
of the Chartered company ring on Labby
for his exposure of the Rhodcslan scandals.
A private correspondent at Constantinople ,
Intimately acquainted with the Inside facts
concerning the alms of European diplomacy
there , says In a letter received this mornIng -
Ing : "I am certain we are ncnrlng a big
crash here. The Turks have not the faintest
intention of abandoning cither Crete or
Thei'saly and Russia has not the slightest
Intention of leaving them there. The Eng
lish government Is playing a very tricky
game Just now , its object being to get a
permanent hold nf Suda bay In Crete as a
naval station , and It Is quite ready to strike
a dirty bargain with the Turks to the com
plete sacrifice of the Christian and Gicck
population , If only that object can be at
tained. I know this to be the Idea of Colonel
Chprmsldi : , who Is In command In Crete ,
and he 'a ' an exceptionally clever man , Just
the one to carry such a scheme through. "
Nothing of this Intrigue has been pub
Honed here , but It accords 'well with Lord
Salisbury's equivocal proceedings recently

to Americans traveling and the payments
for the securities Europe Is now selling and
for the raw materials , particularly wool ,
purchased before the Dlngley bill became a
law , will about offset Europe's debt to the

strongly of the opinion that the gold shlp-
menta to the United States will not be large.

especially want to say through the New

vhlch have been made about jny relations
ivlth Mr. Shcthan , and what I want to say
can say In a very few words. I am
nxlous to have Mr. Slieehan secure and
sutiie control of Tammany. This Is nn
uthorlzed Interview , and I want all my
rloiu'a to take It nu mich. In It 1 want to
sk all my friends to stand by-Mr. Slieehan
s they would stand by me. I believe Mr.

crests of the Tammany organization. That Is
hat wo all want. No man who knoxvs
_ _
an want a man as leader who has not got

Ity'fl best Interests are Tammany's beat In-

"I want my friends to understand this :

ny one Is walking for Mr. * " Sheehan I am

1 have not been dictating , am not dletat-
and don't propose to dictate the course
f New York City politics frpm this side of

ive made since I came over of any 1m-
OTtance whatever and this Is not dictation.
There are seme few people who have coti-
lence In my honest Judgment of men and I
Imply am anxious to have them know wh.it
ny Judgment of Mr. Shoehaji la.
"A lot of ncwapapcro In America are crltl-
Islng me personally. I donjt eec why they
ihould. I nm over here drinking Sprudel
va'.er. 1 am not doing Anything except
drlnklr.g Sprudel water. :1 : came to England

last summer , for the purpose of advancing

have no desire to control New York po'.ltlee
rom this filrte of the Atlantic.
I gave up my place t Tamtaany becauce
> vera out by It. I have no desire totak > ?
t up again. When I am In England , as I
aid before , I am doing what I can to art-
ance the American boree on the British
urf. When I am In-Austria I am drinking
Sprudcl water and trying to feel good and
not dictating the course-of' Tammany hall.
Those In charge arc quite capable of doing It.
I bave nothing to say ibout the mayor
alty. Anything I might say would bo prema-
tire. I believe the people ) arc sick of .the
so-called reform administrating and 'will'
elect a democratic mayor , InrNovember. Ile-
, 'onn ' has proved too expensive and Inefficient.
There should be about as fmuch sentiment
about ruantag a city 013 thire la running a
Jry goods store. Pcoplo will be happiest and
willing to epend the most money In the dry
oodfi store where they get good things
'hcapest. ' People will be hippicH and meat
willing to pay the taxes In a city where
.nunlclpal management glWn them the best
anil cleanest pavements.the highest clras of
public Improvements end the meet Just and
decent general government for the least
money. It Is unnecessary for me to nay that
1 believe the democratic party represented
by Tammany lisa done that In the past anj
that 1 know It will do ItIn'the future. "
'Have you anything to say about Mr. Low ,
Mr. Croker ? " /
Only this ; J do mot know Mr. Low per
sonally , but I hive learned and heard much
about him , and I believe LUlm to bo a fine-
'
man. " ; .
"What do you think atiout the present
police department , Mr. Croker ? "
The rank and file of both the police and
the fire departments arc , 't-ani certain , the
best bodies of men on earth. I have noth-
'ng ' to say about the ofllclals or organization
of the police force. I do Hvlsh to say that
our local educational system , the public
schools of New York , la the * most efficient In
the world. I have watched" the schools over
here closely. Our tcocliera lire Incomparably
abler and fchould be very much better com
pensated. "
"What public Improvements does New
York need most ? " ' ?
*
'A new ball of records. ' The building at
present occupied lo a tlndcp box , and should
It burn the most valuable' papers in the
country would bo destroyed and endless con
fusion result. "
"Have you glvcu any Interviews to any
newspaper since you have \iccri In Kuropo ? "
"Emphatically no ; this Is the first au
thorized statement J have given to any
newspaper man since I arrived on this side
of the water. No announcement that I have
either decided to run for } ho mayoralty or
decided not to run for the mayoralty has
been given out to any newspaper man. "
Mr. Croker had not , as 'n matter of fact ,
given much attention tofpolitics while at
Carlsbad. Every morning nt C ho goes to
the Sprudel spring and drjnlai two glasses
of the famous water. Ho'U dieting , walkIng -
Ing a great deal and taking Swedish gymna

retires early and looks 50 per cent better
than thrco weeks ugp in'London. ' Hla al
most constant associates nro General
Lefevro of Ohio and Gilbert Parker , the
novelist. Neither one or the other
knows cr cares anything1 about Tammany
or anti-Tammany. Ho takes frequent long
walks with Jefferson M. 'Levy , who talks

Ono association which he .has formed since

has been twice In consultation with thu
Tammany leader , and It .Is believed by one ,
very Important Now 'YorKcr hero that he
proposes to support the regular democratic

I said to Mr , Croker 'concerning this :
"Did the Otteudorfer Interviews have any
significance as to New York politics ? "
Ho answered : "I do not care to tell the

limits and say the czar showed much less
Improvement than his guest In the shower
of German decorations and favors bestowed
upon the Uusslan court nnd other officials.
Finally they also consider It extravagant that
there arc now n dozen Russians who arc
chiefs ot Pruwlan regiments. Th ; fact that
Emperor William upon several occasions
spoke In Russian , while the czar used the
1'mich language , Is similarly commented
upon.
On the other hand the results of the un-
l > oror's visits to St. Petersburg , BO far as
iiceslblc , are what the emperor wished , and
specially as regards Great Britain. Hence-
orth that country will find , upon all Impor-
ant occasions , Hm la and Gfrnnny In her
way. A general understanding to that effect
las been finally reached , not only between
ho two rulers , but between Count Muravleff ,
he Russian minister for foreign affairs , an.l
Prince Hohenlohe , the German Imperial
chancellor , and Daron von Ruelow.
It Is a curious fact that the entire Russian
irrss changed during Emperor William's
stay at St. Petersburg , and botanic frankly
anglo-phobe. The newspapers of Russia ,
which have hitherto been constantly hostile
b Gcnmviy , like the Nova' Vromya and. the
\Vyedomestl , now welcome Emperor William
ns a new ally. .
EMPEROR'S MOVEMENTS.
During the coming week the emperor will
atttcnd the naval exorcises near Uantzlc.
le will witness the unveiling of a monument
j to his grandfather at Magdeburg'on August
! 25andwillattend ilit'clcdlcatlon of n co-
'
cssal monument at Coblcntz , at the conflu
ence of the Moscllo and the Rhine , on Au
gust 30. The latter ccrcmflny-wlll bo one of
.tnusual splendor. The city and the opposite
fort at Ehrsnbreltstein will be brllUnly ! Il
luminated at night. His majasty'a speech
upon this occasion will bo ofunusual lirpor-
tance.
September 30 the Imperial couple will ar
rive at' Hamburg and will witness the army
maneuvers that afternoon. The same day
the 'king and queen of Italy will arrive at
Hamburg. Central Nelson A. Miles , U. S.
A. , has been granted permission to view the
maneuvers. Meanwhile ho has gone to
Stockholm and to Russia. The health of the
grand duke of Baden prevents his partici
pation In the maneuvers this year.
Princess Frederick Leopold of.Prussia , who
narrowly escaped being drowned while skat
ing last winter , was nearly killed early this
week near PottUam. While out riding she
slipped off her saddle and was dragged some
distance along the road. She was eventually
rescued by an ald-dc-camp mid by her hus
band.
Princess Gleela of llavarla , heiress to the
thrcno of Btvarla , lias taken to bicycling in
public. All the Ilavarlan princes and dukes
nro keen bicyclists.
Before leaving Tegernsee the crown
prlnco of Germany , Frederick William , who
wits born In 'May , 1S82 , accompanied by
Prlnco Carl Theo'Joro of Bavaria , killed bin
first chamois and telegraphed to the em
peror fln'-t tidings of his exploit.
Subscriptions for the relief of the victims
of the recent Inundations In Germany arc
pouring In and all of the cities of the em
pire are granting sums of money for the
sufferers. The donation of the municipality
of Berlin hsfi been Increased to 1,000,000
markd. llrrsilau hca given 100,000 market ,
Charlottcnburg 50,000 marko , Elberfcld 15,000
marks , etc. , etc. The newspapers are col
lecting money everywhere , The Vossl&cho
Xeltung collected 05,000 marks within a week
and dispatched the money to the sufferera.
The provincial chambera are aluo making
appropriations. The government , however ,
will not call a special sehnlon of either the
relchstag or the diet , In order to appropriate
money for the relief work.
FIGHT THE AMERICAN TARIFF.
Acting upon the advice of Haron Von
Thlelmann , the former German ambassador
at Washington , who has Jutt been appointed
privy councillor , and the representative of
the Imperial chancellor In all the financial
affairs of the empire , the German govern
ment L. ' entering Into negotiations with the
governments of the. other countries Injured
by the now United Stated tariff , especially
France and Belgium , for the purpcae of
f IT tot Ing an agreement to demand the sub-
In'.cnlon of all disputed points to a court of
arbitration. In Germany's caao the disputed
points are mainly the. alleged violation of
existing treaties and the paying back to
the United States treasury of the export
premiums paid by Germany.
As a substitute for the bourse's report , the
central office of the Prussian agricultural
chambers begins to publish reports of the
figures of sales effected In thirty Prucoian
cities , as a guide to farmers.
The Vpsslsche Zeltung promptly proved
that thcae reports are wholly erroneous and
grresly misleading , They do not find favor
oven wlb ( the agrarian * ,
Further proof of the growth of particular
ism In Bavaria le found In the fact that a
d'stlncdy Bavafku party to represent the
existing partUd Is now In procees of forma
tion , The new party which Is encouraged
by the 'Bavarian ' premier , Von Crallsbelra ,
commences operations during the coming
autumn.
Prince Illamaivk disapproves of Emperor
William's visit to the czar and Its accbm-
oanylng features as calculated to ralee hope *
In the Hueslan mind which Germany later
may be unable to fulfill , especially In the
matter of further Asiatic commcets.

LONDON , Aug. 14. The Spectator , dis
cussing the "provocative nnd unfriendly tone
of American politicians ot both parties
toward England , " uaya :
"We nro obliged to write as we never
dreamed of 'bolng forced to write ot a coun
try only less dear to us than our own. Wo
should fall In our public duty If wo did not
point out In the ctroiigcnt manner the grave
risks which are likely to ensue from this
attitude. Unlera the United Statea assumes
a very different tone , the graveat crlsla le
certain to ensue. Public opinion In England
has greatly changed In the last few months ,
and even If Lord IS n Ik-bury Is anxloim to
Ignore such Indiscretions as that of Secretary
Sherman's the people .would . not permit It ,
and hereafter American demands , If urged In
unfriendly language , will bo resisted , no
matter what the rlak. If America does not
keep a better watch over her politicians they
will hurry her Into a conlllct with this conn-
try , whereof no one Is able to sec the end. "
The disaffection In the ranks of the con
servatives ir.i'st bo widespread , Judging from
the amount of correspondence on the sub
ject In the newspapers and from the mur
murs of rebellion heard at the clubs and in ,
the different Jolltlcal centers. Joseph Cham
berlain , the secretary of state for the colon
ies. Is the standing grievance among the
conservatives. The old torles say ho la
driving the party Into an abyea ot socialism.
However , there Is. no fear that the grum
blers will take any radical atcps , for If they
transformed their words Into acts the result
would bo a defeat for them , which would
probably make Mr. iChamberlaln supreme
when the next crisis arlsco.
EASTERN QUESTION.
Gunboats are now being built In England
for transportation In sections to Abdul
Harold whence there Is open water to Kh'ar-
toum. These gunboats are powerful. They
draw only'two feet of water , steam fourteen
knots an hour and nro armed with IC-pound-
. It la announced
ers and Maxim rapid-fire guns.
nounced that the whole flotilla will be ready
Humid early In
to move south from Abdul
1SD8. It is positive , however , that Berber ,
the next Important point on Iho .Nile . , maybe
bo seized before long , without waiting for
the naval reinforcements
After the Anglo-Egyptian forces are gath-
e-rcd at Abdul Hanild , Berber , Swatak and
probably Kassnl , the final advance on Khar
toum will occur. Serious fighting Is expected
lu-foro the 'Mohdlsts ' are routed , hcnco the
necessity for British troops to supplement
the Egyptians. It Is reported that the Kha
lifa has 250,000 soldiers tinder his command.
But In all probability this Is an exaggerated
report.
The Turkish newspapers , evidently In
spired from the palace , arc printing lurid
pictures of thu disaffection In India eald to
bj caused by British outrages , and , In short ,
there Is a regular propaganda upon the part
of Turkey to create troubles for Great Brit
ain In Mohammedan circles , as an offset to
London's abetting -Armenian agitation ,
The officials ot the India olllcu admit that
Afghan officials liavo been concerned In the
recent risings In India , and tbo strong re
inforcements of UrltUh troops which are
now being pushed to the front sbow that the
authorities arc fully a ! Ivo to the dangers
existing. It Is strongly hinted that the long
threatened Russian Intrigue has material
ized , but circumstances hardly warrant this
assumption.
NEW METHODS IN TELEGRAPHY ,
The poKtofilco officials hero arc deeply In
terested In the experiments In telegraphy
made by Prof. Crchorc of Dartmouth college *
and Lieutenant Squicr of the- military school
f\t Kortrcea Monroe , who claim that their
device- enable * ) messages to bo transmitted
vlth extraordinary rapidity. The Inventor *
Eald to a representative of the Associated
urrss :
"Tho experiments over short circuits In the
United Stater liavo been entirely satisfactory
but wo are unable to secure facilities for long
distance operations , so wo came to Engfam !
ind asked tlio help of the government. Sam
uel Prcc-ce of the telegraph line department
promptly placed the government plant at our
disposal and directed his ( subordinates to.
glvo us every possible aid In the. trials
making over the London and Birmingham
line. "
It to understood that the tests made liavo-
been entirely satisfactory. The Inventors , ,
however , are reticent pending full cleinonstra. .
tton of the practicability of their scheme.
They Kcem to fear potalblo rivalry. It Is ,
claimed that their duvlco will transmit enough
matter In an hour over a elnglo wire to fill ,
i page of a nuwspapur.
An official of the British pustofllco Eald to ,
the Aisoclated jiref : "Thero Is no doubt
tha Ama'lcans liavo a most valuable Idea ,
which may result In greatly cheapening tele-
jvaphlng. Wo arc not yet quite satisfied ot
IU piactlcoblllty , but the experiments of next ,
week will < > ettlo the uncertain points. I
am surprised that muro assistance 1s not.
xlvun to Inventors In the United States , Eng
land seems moro friendly tu American ln
Venturis then their oun home. "
The Inventors are thinking of going to-
Krancc and Germany to thow their schema ,
