relation of EneIand and France.

LONDON, June I'M Waddington, the
French ambassador to London had long
private conference with Mr.. Gladstone to-day.
The fact caused much speculation in newspaper
circles, and extraordinary efforts have been
made to ascertain what transpred at the meet
ing 1t has been learned from good authority
that at least one thing was decided 1t was
agreed and arranged that Mr.. Gladstone and
Prime Minister Ferry should make similar and
simultaneous statements, the former to the
House of Commons and the latter to the French
Chambers, concerning the mutual understand
ing arrived at by their respective governments
concerning the attitude they have agreed with
each other to assume in the coming conference of
the powers upon the EGYPTIAN question. 1t was
decided to make these statements either on
Thursday or Friday of next week.
In an interview Immediately after his consult
alton with Gladstone, NJ Waddngton deplored
the hostile attitude of the English press toward
the concessions to France, which were assumed
to be the basis of the international undertaking.
The bitterness of the English criticisms he be
lieved, would have tendency to provoke retail
alton from the French press, produce state of
unfriendliness between the two nations which
might result in weakening both M. Ferry and
Mr.. Gladstone, and jeopardize the success of
their work
There can be no doubt that public opinion in
Eel
with France, because Englishmen generally be-
lieve that it was secured by concessions deroga-
tory to the national honor and prestige of Eng
land. On the other hand the French people are
equally opposed to the arrangement because they
believe that France did not obtain enough as the
price of the alliance. In the rural districts of
France the belief is growing that Mr. Gladstone
has practically outwitted the French Cab
met. and secured an alliance for conference
purposes which is certain to be resented by Ger
many and to bring new troubles upon the re-
public. This belief is being energetcally stimu
lated by M. Ferrys enemies, and is finding TO
bust expression in the provincial press. The la
test outburst of this anti-English sentiment has
found vent in project for a general series of
national fetes throughout the republic on the oc
casion of this years Joan of Arc festival A
movement has already been organized to pc
tition the French Chambers to at once declare
this anniversary French legal holiday, and to
make the arranged fetes, while ostensibly a
celebration of the new holiday, in reality ma
tional celebration of French feeling.
The seriousness of the English political situa
ton, especially since the confirmation of the ter
rible news from Berber, may be inferred from
the fact that Mr. Gladstone spent a great part of
the evening in personal efforts to reach by tele
graph every one of his supporters in the House
at present abroad, and induce them to return to
London at once for the purpose of being present
at next weeks threatened stormy debates

DYNAMITE IN GERMANY.
Startling Discoveries Made by Imperial
Investi eating Commission.

Startling Discoveries Made by Imperial
Investigating Commission.
LONDON, June 14.-The Munich Gazette has
unearthed sensational piece of secret history
which is not likely to add to the peace of the
crowned heads of Europe 1t will be remem-
bered that a few days after the inauguration of
the colossal statue of Germania in the Nieder-
wald last September, a quantity of dynamite
was found stored in drain pipe near the edi-
fee An imperial commission has ever since
been engaged in investigating the case, and
the Munich Gazette says that it has learned
from perfectly trustworthy source that the
most startling discoveries have been made.
The plot was undoubtedly the work of a well
organized band of Anarchists, and its object,
which only narrowly failed of accomplishment,
was nothing less than the assassination of the
Emperor, the Crown Prince, the Imperial Chan
cellor, and other royal and notable personages
who took part in the ceremony. The commits
sioners have caused excavations to be made in
various places near the monument, and, in addi-
ton to the small quantity of dynamite already
reported, they have discovered verv mine Of
explosives under the very gateway over which
the imperial procession passed on the occasion of
the unveiling The mine had been arranged with
a degree of skill which indicated that its con
structors had been we'll educated in military
gineering, and only one accidental circumstance
prevented the complete success of their diaboical
plot For days previous to the unveil-
ing ceremonies heavy rains had prevailed
over the Nederwald region, and the ground
had become soaked to a degree which is very
unusual, and was evidently far beyond the cal
culations of the conspirators. The water which
had percolated through the soil had injured the
dynamite with which the mine charged, but
it had operated more effectively still in thwart-
ing the plot by utterly running the powder-string
OF train by which it had been intended to ex-
plode the mine. Samples of the dynamite have
been exploded since the discovery, and it was
The commissioners declare therefore, that if the
conspirators had been cunning enough to use
well-iusulated wire and an electric battery to
fire their mine nothing could have prevented
most horrible slaughter in which some of the
mightiest of the earth would have been involved.

ence of opinion among the professed friends

Chamberlain, DR.. Thomas Hill, Bishop Nee
ley, Judge William G.. Barrows and Judge
Appleton are on various grounds opposed
to 1t. 1t cannot be doubted but the aDove
gentlemen who oppose the amendment are
as strong believers in temperance as those
who express themselves in its favor. The
argument, if it can be called such, therefore,
which has been resorted to too frequently
by oVer-zealous advocates of more law, that
all who opposed were ''rummies,n cannot
be made available in reference to this
amendment. The amendment will have to
be considered on its merits. If there are
really serious objections to it, it ought not
to be adopted, for its most ardent advocates
seem to expect no great assistance from it in
the suppression of the liquor traffic.
