THE EUROPEAN WAR CLOUD.

Persons we'll informed in European
politics say that the recent alarming
editorial in the London Times touching
the designs of Germany and tho proba-
bilities of u great war in Europe is due
to the discovery Of great scheme Of
Bismarck's to reconstruct the map of
Europe. 1t IL said here that Bismarck
has recently proposed to France and
Russia the following progromme:
l. That to France shall be surrender
ed Alsace aud Lorraine, with Belgium
and all the country Oh the west bank of
the Rhine.
=. That Russia shall be allowed to
take possession of Constantinople aud
of the Turkish possessions in Europe,
together with tho Hungarian and
SlnvOnic populations in Austria.
In compensation for these immense
concessions to Russia and France Ger
many asks to be allowed to extend hor
rule over tho :, 200, 600 of G Gcrnan popu-
lntion In Austria-whicl would give
her Vienna and Trteste--and also to
take possession of Dennark, Holland,
all the country on the cast bank of the
Rhine. The scheme would involve tho
biotting out of Austria as II nation, and
OF turkey In Europe, OF Denmark,
Holland and Belgium.
1t is also understood that bismarck de-
mands that Russia shall surrender to
Germany the Baltic provinces of Russia
which are inhabited mainly by Ger
mans.
This Tremendous scheme would
have the advantage of depriving
Franco Of any occasion for going to war
with Germany, as it would make her
II greater power than she ever has been.
1t would give Itnssin what she has
long plotted for-the possession of Con-
stantinoplc-And 80 give an outlet to u
great commerce.. 1t would also give
her tho Hungarian and Slavonic l,opu-
lations of Austria, while Germany
would profit by getting an outlet to
the Mediterranean at Trieste, while
with the possession of Holland and
Denmark she would have access to tho
German ocean, splendid coast limo
and magnificent harbors, and she could
ut once DO what she has always aimed
to bccOme--a great maritime power.
1t is we'll known that some such pro-
positions have been made TO Russia
and France, but, of course, they could
not be carried out without causing II
war with Belgium, Denmark, Holland,
Austria and Turkey, probably backed
up by England, who could never afford
to allow II scheme like this to DO con-
Sunnntcu, as IL would imperil her
command of the ocean and reduce her
to the rank ofa third rate or fourth ratio
European power.
1t is understood that energetic rcnon-
stranccs have been made to this plan
by the nations which would suffer
extinction by its consumnntion as well
as the neutral powers who do not think
the public peace of Europe possible
with three such colossal powers ns
Russia, Germany and France would
then become.
All admit that the situation in Europe
is grave, but it is believed that IL war
would be beneficial to this country
inasmuch as ii would givc us Il market
for our grain and provisions, as we'll rs
giving to our manufacturers trade by
destroying tho rivalry of other nations.

A Baby Crushed 70 DEATH

Early yesterday morning two young chill
dren of Joseph Roques were crossing at the
corner of Marigny and Lsvee streets. when
a bakers wagon, driven by William Rees,
rushed along and crushed both of the little
ones. The youngest, only nine months old,
was 50 badly injured, internally and ex-
ternally, that it died soon after the occur
renee, in the fifth precinct statlonh ouse.
The boy. seven years old, was seriously
bruised. and policeman took him to his
home. corner of Enghien and Dauphine
streets. Fortunately Officer Saigon was
present and witnessed the transaction and
arrested the driver. Rees will be prose-
cuted for murder. 50 it is hoped that this
case will be warning to other reckless
drivers. By the time half dozen milk
cart and baker teamsters are hung there
will be less careless driving.

4 Sad Calamity,

Mr.. Robert Armstrong, who received
seyere injury by falling down the hatchwsy
of the steamship Tsppahannock on Monday
night last, is in fair way to recover. His
many friends will be glad to learn that the
severe hurt which be received will not prove
fatal. though they will be sorry to hear
that long and painful convslescence is in
store for the unfortunate gentleman. Re-
garding the manner in which he was in
jnred, the following statement affords full
explanation: On Monday night last. at q
late hour. after his duty vas performed
aboard the steamship Tappahannock. Mr..
Armstrong started turriedly for home. His
haste was increased by his knowledge of
the lateness Of the hOu. and his anxiety to
take the last car. The hatchway Of che
vessel was open and there was no warning
light. Hurryins ashore. Mr.. Armstrong
fell through the hatch way. . DISTANCE of
thirteen feet. A young life was ieopardized.
but it is 20 be hoped that danger is now past.

Not q Case Of forgerys

Last month young man was arrested
for forging certain documents, and "a the
amount involved was worth having, it was
determined to prosecute him. He went
along quietly. telling his AGO uaintances that
he was innocent. Still the evidence looked
very strong against him, especially as per-
sons who know tho young mans writing
declared their belief that the forgery was
his work. Certainly there was . striking
resemblance, but yesterday when experts
inspected the hapers they quickly pointed
out glaring differences, and 80 the accused
was discharged. feeling triumphant. But
for the experts ne would have had good
chance for the penitentiafy.

Eleven Weeks Walk from Louisiana.

Eleven )" eeks' walk from Louisiana.
A few days ago mention was made in
these columns Of the man who had tramped
to this point all the way from New Orleans
with a wheelbarrcw and three little
children. A somewhat similar case was
discovered yesterday. People passing
Fourth and Main streets, about noon were
attracted by a curious sight. Standing on
the corner apparently weary and DESTROYS
of rest, there stood weather-beaten man
and five children, three boys ana two girls.
The man's face was thoroughly tanned by
the sun. as were also those Of the children.
He was in rags, cOatless and without shoes
and stockings. while the children were
sadly in want of good clothing. A crowd
collected around them, and Major Q. w.
Thomas, noticing them from the other side
OF the street. called them over to him. An
insight was obtained into their troubles.
the man, who was yet quite young, gave
his name as Henry Clark. He stated that
they had lived in Caddo parish, Louisiana,
on the west side of the Mississippi river,
between the Mississippi and Red river.
About year ago his wife had met with a
watery grave in the Mississippi. He and his
children had been living in very destitute
circumstances, and some relatives in Mis-.
souri, having promised to take care of the
children il they were brought to them,
they had started on foot for Missouri. They
had been eleven weeks on the road, and
had just come from Middletown. They
were trying to reach their destination as
best they could. As the father told his story,
the children, vino were very bright looking,
chung closely to him. The Oldest, girl,
was about fifteen, and the youngest about
six. sympathy for the party was awak-
ened, and Mr.. vene p. Armstrong Major
Thomas and Major Robert Floyd got up a
subscription of 800 In addition to this a
pass for their passage to St. Louis was OBJ
tanned from the mayor by the generous
gentlemen. One act Of generosity was the
subscription Of 81 by Pat Murphy, which
was stealthily given. Another act was
spontaneous one of Charles Taylor, of the
firm Of Mathsrs, Taylor & Co., who pulled
of $35 coat and gave it to the man. Ma.
jor Thomas secured the children clothing,
and they and their father left ON the Ohio
and Mississippi train last evening at seven
O'Clock. Neither the man nor his children
will probsbly ever forget Louisville.
