iBBUUN , Sept. 4. Emperor William's
Coblcntz rhodomontadc has been received
abroad with derlson. Even the Roman
press cannot swallow the emperor's "vice
regency of heaven , " and Is describing the
blast at Coblcntz as the Waring of u war
born of the ancient German gods. Austria
manifests considerable uneasiness on the
subject , and throughout Germany a more
significant note of danger has boon sounded.
'Emperor ' William's speech Is generally In
terpreted as meaning that his majesty Is de
termined not to yield to the wishes of Par
liament and the newspapers , though not
daring to say so openly , clearly Intimate that
the emperor's idea of his mission does not
agree with bis constitutional position. While
his majesty may be responsible to nobody
but God , It Is added , the responsibility for
the emperor rests upon the ministers , whose
ivork the nation Intends to control , no mat
ter how omnipotent or omniscient his majesty
proclaims himself. The thoughtful and lib
eral minded In Germany feel much abashed
and , naturally , the conservative and the
whole .of the reactionary pi ess" are loudly
acclaiming the speech.
Tbo llhcial newspapers are hoisting the
danger signal. The Vorwaerts on Thursday
drew a parallel between the Roman em
perors of Ibe Byzantine period and other
' 'half mud autocrat ! ! , " saying : "The em
peror evidently contemplates , for the good
of the fatherland , to reign hereafter In
violation of the people' ? , constitutional
rights. "
Even so loyal and moderate a paper as
the National Koituug guardedly but dc-
cjdcdly takes this emperor to task , remind
ing him that under the constitution bis
own duties and prerogatlxcs end those of
the cabinet and the Reichstag are bounded
"by certain limitations which no one can
transgioss with Impunity , adding : "Ills
latest speech Is unwelcome confirmation of
the rumois which have' been current for
mouths regarding the emperor's Intentions. '
A number of the leading papers protest
that theho Imperial speeches and political
toasts have been becoming altogether too
frequent of late , and they further hold that
they are Injuring the authority and dignity
of the clown , the Tageblatt declaring that
Ills majesty Is relntroihiclng the mental uu-
iwlsdom of Frederick William VI.
ANOTHER SPEECH COMING.
In spite of the flood of criticism , the em
peror is said to bo preparing to make an
other speech , In the exchange of toasts be
tween himself and the king of Italy , at
Hamburg , as n counter blast to the Cron-
stadt glorification and as a fresh consolida
tion ot the Orolbund.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
bcro understands on good authority that the
time for Prince llohenloho to btcp out of
ofllco has been fixed for October , soon after
the Reichstag resumes Us besaion , and that
the emperor will no longer try to hold the
jinnee , since the latter , on July " , declared
through the North Gazette his inability to
accede to any bill for the reform of mili
tary procedure which Is not In accord with
tbo chancellor's promise to the Reichstag ,
namely , In aceoidancu with modern Ideas of
justice and humanity. Hut It Is just pos
sible that his majesty may change his mind
at the last moment. Ills present Intention
Is to intiko Uaroii von Billow the next chan
cellor , and lu political circles the Impres
sion prevails that Baron von Thlelmann , the
late Gorman ambassador at .Washington and
pichoat secretary of tbo treasury , will bu
juadu secretary ot foreign affairs.
At the iiatioii.il convention of German
Catholics just held at Landshut , Bavaria ,
resolutions i\ero pasbed icgarding the re
striction of the temporal power of the pope.
fl'ho convention was largely attended from
nil parts of Germany.
The militury excesses of the past week
or two have been much commented upon.
At Carlsruho , during tbo coun > o of an orgle
held by tl'o otHcnrB of tbo One Hundred and
ttlevunlh regiment , Flis > t Lieutenant Kuoll
-was suddenly and murderously assaulted
( with n saber by Major von Jacobl , and a

noncommissioned oflleers of the Guards' Ar
tillery regiment , at Sp.nidan , wantonly at
tacked and neatly killed with sabers two
citizens with w'aom they quarreled on the

LONDON , Sept. 4. Public attention still
centers In the dual alliance , though It has
been Interrupted by the shoutings of Emperor -
peror William of Germany. England re
mains apathetic , In Rplto of the fact that the
center of gravity of European affairs baa
been shitted to St , Petersburg. Commenting
on the present situation the Spectator re
marks :
"Tho closer we look Into the details of
the arrangements binding Europe , the clearer
It ibocomes that no ouo ot the various pow
ers can move without Russia. In oomo way
or other every power except Russia Is bound
either by express agreement or by In
terests not to alter the Hiatus nuo. "
Queen Victoria and the marquis of Salis
bury , though fully aware of the French
jealousies ot England , place great reliance
on the Infltimco of the czarina over the
czar , and believe the alliance really makes
way for peace.
Germany finds solace In the bitter chagrin
of Emperor Wlllhm's remark at St. Peters
burg : "According to my conviction , wo
skimmed the cream. "
Prince iDlsmarck , too. Is softening German
susceptibilities by explaining the weakness
of the meanings of the words employed by
the czar.
In Franco , particularly in Paris , the de
lirium continues. Russian names are given
to every possible article of commerce or
luxury. The streets will be rebaptted ,
wherever men cheer for the czai they lift
their hats , and the statue of Strasburg Is
gaily decorated with floral wreaths In re-
spons'e to the almost universal" conviction
that Russia means to compel Strasburg's re
turn. Although the French manufacturers
are already disappointed at not securing Im
mense Russian contracts , Russia certainly
Intends to do much to gratify French nm-
bltlon. The first step arnounced Is the es
tablishment ot n Russian legation at Tangier
to support French views In Africa , and
France feels for the first time since 1S71
that It is strong enough to have Us own
way.
President Fr.uro is quite delighting Paris
with the gossip of the Russian court. What
astonished him most was the Informal and
entirely unaffected manners of the emperor
and emptess. The Imperial couple , he ex
plains , live exactly like private people , In a
small cottage with their children , dogs and
photographs about. The czar dislikes a mil
itary escort near him , goes about practically
unattended and is Immensely popular with
the people. This last statement is confirmed
by the reception that his majesty met with
at Warsaw this week. There the Poles have
given him a great reception , and much I in-
portanco is attached to his majesty's visit
to Poland.
liotween the Intervals of the universal
shouting for peace , the heads of the various
nations are busy perfecting the effectiveness
of their armies. Emperor William paraded
an army at Coblentz , Wurzburg and Nurem
berg upon the occasion ot his visits to those
cities , and today nt Ilombcrg his majesty
paraded four army corps before himself , the
empress , the king and queen of Italy , the
king of Saxony , the king of Wurtembcrg , the
regent of Bavaria , the Grand Duke Nicholas
of Russia , the duke nnd duchess of Con-
naught , the duke of Cambridge , Prince and
Princess Henry ot Prussia nnd many other
notabilities.
Tbo aimy maneuvers proper do not begin
until Monday next , when 143 battalions of
nfantrj , 115 squadrons of cavalry. 111 bat
teries ot artillery , twenty-one technical com
panies and three companies of military
aeronauts will be divided Into two armies of
'russians and Bavarians. The Germans have
ictually mobilized a larger force than they
hud on the French border In 1870 , within ten
lays of the declaration of war , and the troops
are in the very positions they would occupy
f mobilized for war today.
Though army maneuvers on a grand scale
are occasionally occurring in the Crimea , the
czar aj the Warsaw maneuvers will witness
ho operation of 4,600 officers and 122,000 men ,
or 17G battalions of Infantry , 152 squadrons
of cavalry and C44 guns. The maneuvers will
bo particularly directed toward solving the
difllculty of supplying the troops with hot
food In the field , Improving the bicycle , pos
tal telegraph and ambulance services.
The French army maneuvers which will
jo held lu the north of Franco will bring two
army corps together.
The British army maneuvers , which were
finished today near Arunncl , have not called
forth any particular comments from the mil
itary critics , except their complaints of the
presence of too many boys In the ranks and
the remark that tbo continental armies out
class the British organization.

ARCHITECT
MANUFACTURES BUILDING.
The Greek Ionic style of architecture characterizes the 'Manufactures building , The order Is of heroic proportions , carried out with great artistic care In every
detail. The principal feature of the lagoon facade Is a circular ! dome 150 feet In circumference , rising to a height of seventy-live feet. The dome Is supported on a
circular row of fluted lonio columns , and the space enclosed by them and under tbe dome Is open , forming a grand , open , domed vestibule for an approach to the
building. The Inner dome Is richly designed with ribs and panels and is to be decorated In colors , while the outer Is formed by a series of steps rising in
the form of a cone to the apex , which Is crowned by a richly decorated base for n flagstaf. The outer row of dome columns Is detached and the .entab
lature Is broken around them at the base of the dome , and over each column is a statue snd pedestal having as a background the stylobato of the dome.
This treatment is very monumental in effect , and while In good taste and harmonious with the architectural style It ,1s at the same time original and Interest
ing. Over the doorway leading from this vestibule Into the ( building are three largo panels between the pilasters to receive paintings which will bo emblematical
of the character of the exhibits. Flanking the central dome arc beautiful Ionic colonnades which form covered ways along the entire facade , stopping at the
corner towers. Over these colonnades are balconies capable ot .holding largo numbers of people and opening from the Interior galleries of the building , afford
ing a fine point from which to obtain an elevated view of the lagoon nnd the bcautl es of the grand central court. The tour corners of the building are marked
by square plain towers surmounted by ornate , open , columned pavilions , circular lu form end to servo for electric lighting. The Manufactures building Is 300 feet
long and 140 feet wide. It was designed by S. S. Beman of Chicago.

Not merely the privations and dangers of

by means of sham death certificates and the

conduced to this decision.

AMERICANS IN 'FAVOR ' AGAIN.
Resentment at American competition In
two widely separated professions has de
clared Itself this week. The report that.
D'Ollly Carte is about engaging Lillian Rus
sell for the leading role in his projected re
vival of Offenbach's "Grand Duchess" has
drawn down upon him the severest criti
cism of theatrical writers for neglecting In-
dlgenious talent. It Is pointed out that If
Lillian comes to the Savoy , she will suc
ceed Ilka von Palmay , an Austrian , ana
Carlo Is asked why no English soprana Is
good enough for him. At Liverpool , Mr.
Pearson , an American , was put forward an
a candidate for the post of corporation
electrician , and was strongly supported by
Sir Arthur Forwood , head of the conservative
party In that city. Mr. Pearson , not
being appointed , Forwood resigned his seat
in the council , but was Induced to resume It
on the understanding that Pearson shall betaken

on all electrical questions.

American correspondents of London news
papers report that society In tbo United
States Is greatly exercised over the question
whether Queen Victoria would assent to a
union of Prince Alexander of Teck , who Is
to visit America , with an American heiress.
Seeing that there Is not the remotest human
possibility that Alexander or any of hla chil
dren could como wltljjn measurable distance
of succession to the throne , the queen Is not
likely to trouble about the matter. The
duchess of Teck certainly would welcome a
a well-dowered daughter-in-law , for financial
troubles have been tbo bane of her llfo and
she has not a cent to leave to her sons , Alex-
auder Is a handsome young fellow , closely re
sembling his sister , the duchess of York , and
ho has the pleasant manners which are dis
tinctive of the family.
VICTORIA AND ROME.
Stanch Protestants are greatly alarmed by
the claim put forward by a leading Catholic
Journal hero that Queen Victoria was bap
tized a Roman Catholic. It maintains that
the queen certainly was not baptized In tbe
Anglican church ; that the duchess of Kent
( her mother ) , whose Catholic tendencies
were well known , had her baptized by o Cath
olic priest , and that at the coronation both
baptism and confirmation were conferred as
tbo easiest way out of a difficulty. Tbo queen
herself U patiently friendly to Catholicism ,
and just now she has given striking proof of
her regard for that religion. Rev. Jacob
Primmer , a fierce autl-Cathollc preacher ,
sent tbe queen a copy of a book he had Just
uublUbcd , giving a characteristic account ot
a visit he made to Rome. The queen re-
tuineJ tbe volume Immediately with a curt In
timation that HUO could cot possibly accept
It. Mr. Primmer thereupon made a violent
InsiUtl'ig attack upon her from a Scotch pul
pit , accusing her of Romish tendencies. The
queen , of course , has ignored the onslaught.

self of a nervous , changeable , restless nature ,
fond of politics , and she' at once flamed up
It one would not or could not acquiesce In her
plans. The friction between us began at an
early date.
"When In 1848 the prince of Prussia wanted
to go to England and I wlnhed to see him In
order to advise him urgently to remain at
Potsdam , as the whole army and a great part
of the rural population w < jre on bis side and
the journey would have bsjUcffccts , she tried
to prevent me fronj , having access to' him.
She was excited , ani ) , as wasliervnt when In
that mcod , she slapped her 'kneo with the
palm of her hand and 'declared to mo that
above all things she must provide for the
future of her son. I subsequently heard of a
singular project which bad been hatched In
her palace. Von Vlncko came to me in the
Diet nnd bald be 'Intended to bring forward
a motion conferring -tho regency on the
prince of Prussia , and -he asked me what I
thought of it. I inquired why in the world
the prince should not be regent , and Prince

impossible in the country. 'All right , ' I said ,
'if you bring forward that motion I shall pro
pose that you be arrested for high treason. '
The motion was never made , because it had no
chance of success without tbe support of the
extreme right.
"All this did not Improve my relations with
the prlncebs , nor when she became queen and
empress could she over quite conceal her pe
culiar grudge against me. Her liking for
everything French and Catholic Intensified
this feeling. In the course of time there
arose at her court a cabal 'which did not In

negie said to u reporter who called on him
vestcrday at Cluuy castle , Invernesslilre ,
North Scotland :
"I am satisfied that tbo American republic
has started at last upon a career of genuine
prosperity , which will drive Into the back
ground the ngltatlon for a reduced standard
of value which taa been the cardinal Impedl-
'm'ont'Iif'tbo way of Tierprosperity.The re
cent fall of silver and the piornlse of aug
mented supply ot gold coming gives me con
fidence that the silver Issue is dead. When
I return I expect to find the country more
prosperous than It has been since 1S50 ,
under McKlnley , the most popular president
since Lincoln. He will soon be recognized
as Lincoln's worthy successor , and , like him ,
a true man of the people. "
It has been reported that Mr. Carnegie
has purchased Skibo castle and an estate ot
18.000 jc.es In Southcrlandshlre. The 10-
porto- asked him for the facts. Mr. Car
negie said :
"I have not purchased Skibo yet. I have
only rented it for a year. The owner ot
Clunv castle having recently married , I was
forced to look about for another place In
which to spend the summer holidays ; besides
which , I have long desired to buy a place In
the driest pzit o [ the Highlands , near this
sea. of which I am passionately fond , as
It never mils to restore mo to health when
rest Is necessary. My wife and I have now
suent ten successive summers In the High
lands , Invariably enjoying robust health here.
My daughter has grown finely during this ,
her first few months In the Highlands , so wo
have every inducement to continue to pass
the summers hero. Tbo estate of Skibo has
fisactly the situation wo desire. It is the
driest part ot Scotland. It is a narrow strip
vitb an extended coast line from the north
down to the cast coast , almost to Inverness
tastle , which Is ono of the most ancient in
the north. It was enlarged and modernized
ton years ago. The cstato extends fourteen
miles along Dornlch firth , at the ( mouth of
which there are tbo most celebrated golt
links In Scotland , There are numerous lochs
and streams on the property for fishing , while
its grouse moors rank high. But tbe deter *
mining factor in our selection of Skibo wa *
tbo salubrity of climate. Though wo have
routed It only for a year , we hope and bo.
llovo wo have found our permanent1 highland
home , "
"But have you the right of purchase ? " bo
was askod.
"Yes , " ho answered , "and fully expect I
shall exercise It. "
Mr. Carnegie added laughingly , "our little
daughter will very soon reach an ago when
I fear oho would , with true American spl-lt ,
object to living In ci rented house when papa
end mamma could afford to buy a house of
their own. "

IMCOMISISD TODAY
Although the prediction for jesterday wns
for cooler weather , If anything It was
warmer than on the day previous. .H verged
on being hot , nnd with the brisk south wind
was very uncomfortable. There were heavy
rains In the Dakotas and some rain In the
western portion of this state during Friday
night , but they had no effect In purifying
the atmosphere and making it more bcAra-
ble. However , the weather ofljcers assure
the public that It will positively be cooler
today.

ST. LOUIS , Sept. 4. The St. Louis Post-
Dispatch tomorrow will print a letter from
William J. Bryan , the first utterance after
three months of travel and observation , dur
ing thn roturh of prosperity , Among other
things , bo says :
"Wheat baa risen because the foreign crop
has been exceedingly short. The fact that
silver nnd wheat bavo parted company will
cause no dismay to those who understand
that the law of supply and demand icgulatcs
the price of both.
"Nothing can bolter disclose Ibe weak
ness of the republican position than the Joy
manifested by the republicans over events
for which their administration and their
policies are nowise responsible. If the re
publicans desire to claim credit for the high
prlco of wheat they must ahsuuio tbo re
sponsibility for the famine In India. A
general rise In prices should bo followed by
a ralso In wages. "
Mr. Bryan say * that the Joy over the In
crease of money from wheat Is evidence that
tbo joy Is over tbo increase of mono } ; that
If tbo fanners ore benefited by the rlso In
ono ot their products , how much bettor would
It bo If the rise was universal ; that the
prlco of wheat will fall when the foreign
demand becomes normal , and that the pres
ent spasmodic rlso will old rather than In
jure tbo cau.so of bimetallism ,

LONDON , Sept. 4 , ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) "America
has the whip-hand over Europe , which It
ought to use prudently In order to got the
full advantage of Its exceptional opportunity.
But It seems as If as long ns the bulls and
bears have a go at each other you Americana
don't care what happens to the legitimate
operator. "
Thus spoke to jour correspondent today
Samuel Woods , the editor of Dornbusch'a
Trade Circular , admittedly ono of the most
experienced and trustworthy of the authorl-
ties on tne i.omlon market , ills predictions
last October In the face of the then sudden
boom were signally verified. When seen
tcday hu had just left the Haltic exchange.
"Do you think prices likely to fall , owing
to the Xew York manipulations ? " the cor
respondent asked.
"No. Wheat Is not going to bo any
cheaper , " Mr. Woods answered. "There was
a fall of nine-pence yesterday , from ( to ap
preciable pause , except the performances ot
the speculative element on your side. Mono
except the Russian farmers aie coming for
ward \\lth stocks more freely.
PRICK WILL STAY UP.
"Hut there can be no llond of supply , al
though high prices will draw a free How of
wheat by the end of September. Hut you
may confidently take It that pi Ires arc to ho
higher for the season. There will ho no
barking back to summer rates. "
"What about the Kronen crop ? "
"Well , the French appear to have over
bought themselves in their excited way last
week. Many arc now sellers to get the en
hanced prices , but the market Is not affected
by tluit , as It was discounted and the con-
vlctlon prevails ( hat1 prices will rule at or
about the present level or higher U any
thing. "
"Has the English crop boon materially
damaged by the break In the weather ? "
"Tho English requirements are not likely
to he affected by the spell of bad weather.
The quantity of the eiop remains the samo.
The only question is whether It can bo saved
In the best possible condition. "
"Ha\o you made any Independent cstlmntu
of the European yield this season' . ' "
"Yes. From special reports I estimate the
total jield will 1)0 ) 157/170,000 quarters , as
against requirements ot 20fi.000.000 quartern.
This yield is about 33,000,000 below 1S9G , and 4
the resolves are unusually deficient. My In
dependent estimate last year was only 5 per
cent off the subsequent ofllclal icturns. "
IHKLAND'S DIRE PREDICAMENT.
Ireland is tlucaloncd with the most dis
astrous winter since the torrlhlo famine
year of 1817. This is no politician's opinion ,
but the deliberate prediction of Colonel
Spraght , the most experienced Inspector un
der the Irish local government board , the
body of wlihh administers the poor law
system from Dublin Castle. lie says In a
letter of warning to the government : "Tho
eng continuance of this dreadfully Inclement ,
unseasonable weather has led mo to bellovo
that wo nro on the eve of a very severe
tilal for this country and for that portion
tion of the people who depend almost wholly
on the crops and those who are able to glvo
them labor and support. I have had some
years' experience and would earnestly advlso
those who have to deal with the wants and
necessities ot the poorer clasacs to bo pre
pared for what J firmly believe will bo ouo
of the worst winters since 1817.
"The potatoes are all poor andIn the
mountain d'strlcts ' are hopelessly gone , I
know there are absolutely none. 'Corn and
hay aio rotting on the ground. Turf has
been most difficult to bo saved and now
cannot bo drawn out of the bogs and moun
tains. I trust , therefore , that a word of
warning may not be misplaced , "
Up to the adjournment of Parliament Mr.
Dillon was urging Irish Secretory Gerald
Balfoui to adopt moiBiircM to meet the an
ticipated dlstiess In the western seaboard
counties of Ireland , but Mr. llalfour Bays :
"In their reports to tbo local government
lioard the Inspectors have steadfastly main
tained that nothlng'exccptlanal ncod bo an
ticipated. "
GLOOMIEST FOIIEI10DING WAHUANTED.
The llallv News correspondent more than
corroborates Colonel Ppiaght's dread forebod
ing In n dispatch published today. In which
ho says : "Fa nil no stares thousands of the
Irish farming and laboring people In the
faeo. Honoris from oil parts of the coun-
trv tell the same woeful , depressing lale.
The hay Is rotting. The oat crop Is beaten
down Into the earth , where tbo ear In not
a few canes has begun to shoot again n < l
what wan eaily cut Is badly tainted with
mildew. But the wornt , the most terrible
of all for the poorer clanses. Is the dreaded
blight playing deadly havoc .with . tbo potato
ciop. When all else has failed , the potato
bas been the mainstay of llfo for the im
poverished Irish tenant. Should that crop
Ronerally give wny , the outlook would be
crave In the extreme. Yet such a failure ,
unless there Is Immediate nnd complete
change In the weather , may bo regarded
an n certainty.
"Tho boom In thn wheat Is not a matter
for rejoicing In Ireland ; It only helps to glvo
a deeper tl 80 "I darkness to a picture al
ready miflldcntly black.
"Thero still Is hope that there may be
change for the better In the \vrathtr , but even
at the best thu proEpocl Is gloomy and all
the gloomier on account of the bright proa ,
pec In two months ugo. "
