A LONDON dispatch of the 4th states
that the recovery of the Queen was less
rapid than her physicians had cause to ex-
pect. While the injury to the knee was by
no means serious it was feared that it
might indirectly affect her accustomed good
health by causing her to loose her daily
outdoor exercise in which she has been in
the habit of refreshing herself. DIR. Jenner,
physician to the Queen, directed that she
lake almost complete rest as the best means
to prevent the swelling of the injured part
and of reducing the pain.
THE National Theater at Berlin was
destroyed by fire on the 4th. The contents,
including wardrobes, theater property and

The Socialistic Congress which was
in session at Copenhagen was treated
to an unwelcome surprise from the Danish
Government on the Sd, the fourth day Of its
session. The Prefect of Police after having
held full conference with the King and Sc
cured his approval, semitic Herr Tiebknecht,
one of the most outspoken delegates who is
looked upon as the leader in the Congress,
and served on him an order to close the
Congress forthwith. Those members who
came from foreign countries were informed
that it was desired by the Danish authori-
ties that they leave Denmark not later than
the 4th.
In the nitro-glycerine factory which
was discovered at Birmingham, England,
on the 5th, was an apparatus for preparing
and mixing explosive compounds construct
ed on scientific principles and with all cum
ming craft which clearly showed its inven-
tor to be not only thorough scholar m
chemistry and machinery but also an adept
for expedients for avoiding notoriety and
preventing discovery. Among the note
worthy features OF the place was a
shrewdly devised method for carrying
4
suming the odors. It was learned that the
premises in Lesdam Street were taken two
months ago by a man named Whitehead,
an Irish-American, who had sign. hung
| out in front of the place indicating his busi-
ness as that Of a paper hanger. Whitehead
himself was taken into custody when the
police made a descent on the den and Is now
| in close confinement. A considerable guam
| tity of nitro-glycerine was seized by the
| officers at the same time. Information now
| in the hands of detectives tends to demon
strate this place as the central manufactory
i of explosives and the most important depot
of all Internal contrivances in the kingdom.
Whitehead, who is described as man about
| twenty five years of age, dark complexion,
| and with marked American accent, has been
| in the habit Of purchasing supplies of nitro
glycerine and acids which was necessary to
run the business.
NOTWITHSTANDING the numerous
| protests which have been received from
4 America against the injustice Ol prOnlDiO-
/ ing the importation of American pork into
| Germany, that Government, evidently in.
| fiuenced by sanitary reasons, seems deter
mined to enforce the statute making such
importations unlawful.
| BISMARCK, in letter to the President
of the Reichstag, on the 9Th, announced in
