BERLIN. April This being the 10th
anniversary of the birthday of Prince
Bismarck, the day is being celebrated
throughout the empire as a holiday of ex-
traordinary interest. The emperor and
his son, Crown Prince Frederick William.
attended by all resident princes of the i'm
perial family. called upon the chancellor
at 10 o'clock in the morning and congrat-
ulated him. The Kaiser was especially
warm and earnest in his expressions of re-
gard. During this imperial visit the IN
peror personally presented the wonderful
oil copy of the great portrait of himself
to Prince Bismarck as apersonal memento.
The emperor himself decorated Count
Herbert Bismarck, son of the chancellor,
with the order of the Red Eagle. The
imperial visitors spent most of the re-
mainder of the morning at the chancellor's
residence. After their departure federal
councillors and ministers called and pre-
sented their congratulations. The Bis
marck Birthday Testimonial committee
subsequently visited the chancellor and
formally presented him with the title deeds
Of the great Schen-H Hansen estate. The
entire afternoon was taken up by dele
gates who had come TO present testimo-
mails from all classes of the German peo-
pie, and from all parts Of the empire, 1t
is rumored that two Russian generals Of
high rank, who have quietly arrived here,
bear from the ear a signal favor to Prince
Bismarck as a present in honor of his
birthday.
All the newspapers publish warm trib-
utes to the worth and genius of Prince
Bismarck. The opposition papers praise
the chancellor efforts during the present
and recent years to maintain peace among
nations and fulfill his duty to the emperor
and the German nation.

In Search of a Father.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, April IA
special from Hamlin, Lincoln county, says
that for a number of years T. NJ. Smith
has been a leading lawyer in that county.
He supposed he was an orphan and with
out kindred. Recently he saw in a New
York paper a news item from Salem, N.
j.. hat awakened suspicion that he had
been by some means a dupe of some one.
He wrote to the party named and a reply
of a startling nature was received. Pur-
suing the matter, Smith was astonished
to learn that he has living in Salem, Sa-
lem county, N. j., a father, four sisters
and three brothers, of whose existence he
has been for thirty years ignorant, while
they supposed him dead long ago. The
explanation is this: Smiths mother,
when dying, gave the child, then but
three months old, to her brother, Timothy
Jaynes. He afterwards emigrated to
Ohio, and settled at Pomeroy. He gave
Smith Il fine education and a start in life,
but for some reason allowed the boy to
grow into manhood believing himself tc
be an orphan. Mr.. Smith is now en-
route to Salem to meet his family.

Still in Doubt.

LONDON, April 1.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette this afternoon states that Russia s
answer to England proposals on the Al
CHAN question amounts to a cordial accept
ance of the proposals as made by Earl
Granville. British foreign minister. The
Gazette says Russia consents to accept as
debatable territory the zone laid out as
such by England, and accepts the princi-
pie that the frontier line shall not be drawn
further south than Karezelias and Chame-
niebid. or further north than Shirtepe and
Sariyazi. This leaves as the only point
still to be discussed the Russian sugRes
ton that it would be more practical if the
zoneof the survey o~verlapped the roughly
defined zone of debatable land in order to
allow for Typographical and e~thnographi-
cal conditions not expected. This sug-
gested the extension of the zone of the
survey. as it would carry the zone to the
south Of the boundary line run by NJ.
Lessar, Russian commissioner appointed
to meet Sir Peter Lumsden, British com
missioner, to arrange the Afghan bound
airy dispute, and may yet prove serious
enough, the Pail Mall Gazette thinks, to
further difficulty.

A Leadvtlle Duel.

LEADvILLE, April Another dread
full tragedy has been added to the long list
that has marked the history of the great
silver camp, and, as usual, there is a wo-
man in the case.
William Penfeld is a bachelor and the
foreman at the Forepaugh mine, rented
about three weeks ago. Charles Mahan
was the engineer at the same mine, and
resided with his wife, a comely young
woman, in a cabin near by. At the time
last mentioned Penfield and several Others
secured a house near the mine, and made
a proposition that Mr. Mahan take
charge of this house and cook for Pen
field and his companions. Mahan pro-
posed to the bachelors that he lMahan)
would buy the house and run it with his
wife as a boarding house, This was OBJ
jected to, but by whom it is not known.
Mrs. Mahan, however, accepted the pro-
position to cook for Penfeld and friends.
Mr.. Mahan was much put out at this pro-
ceeding, and after remaining a week, went
east and was absent two weeks and re-
turned Monday.
Late yesterday afternoon Nathan went
to the mine, and, with a six-shooter in
hand, approached Penfield and remarked
to the latter: Go and heel yourself"
Penield replied: Il am always heeled."
Then said Mahan, step back six
feet" which command Penfield proceeded
to obey and 90 doing drew his revolver,
firing, report says, purposely over Ma
hans head, but seeing Mahan was pre-
pairing to respond in like manner Penfeld
fired two more shots, one ball taking effect
in the right eye and another Just below
the eye. Mahan dropped and died within
an hour. The remains were placed in the
morgue here. Penield was lodged in
jail.
The story of the shooting comes from
Pen6eld, no other witness being present.

Prayers for the Hero.

WALHTNGToN, April Should Gen.
Grant die before noon Tomorrow, the
senate would adjourn over as a mark of
respect to his memory, in which case the
final adjournment would probably take
place Friday.
The following resolution was adopted at
this evenings regular meeting of the
Union Soldiers Alliance:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased God to
afflict almost unto the door of death that
great and exemplary man, a successful
leader of the union hosts, our beloved
commander and comrade, Gen. Ulysses
S. Grant, therefore, be it
Resolped, That the comrades of the
Union Soldiers Alliance of Washington
do herein express the profound grief that
fills their hearts because Of the atAiction
that has befallen our distinguished chief,
and their warmest sympathy for him and
his in this hour of sore trial, united with
their heartfelt wishes and most earnest
prayers that an All Wise Ruler may YET
avert the irreparable loss a sorrowing ia
ton would sustain in his death.

of the French army there to be critical.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 1.-The gov
eminent is in arrears to the soldiers for
several months pay, and to-day the wives
of the soldiers attempted to secure atten-
ton to the demands of their husbands by
appearing in force at the office of the
minister of finance. Bands Of women
collected to the number of 1000 or more
at a point near the building occupied by
the cabinet officers. At the appointed
hour they marched in a body to the office
Of the minister of finance. Pushing past
the guards, they entered the office, and
confronting the minister, demanded the
pay due their husbands. Policemen were
called ~ and tried to expel them, but the
women turned on the officers and forced
them to retire. The finance minister
made a plausible excuse for the delay in
paying the men; but the women declared
his answe unsatisfactory and made a
rush for him. He, however, escaped by
out of the back window.

A Circular to Pension Agents.

WASHINGTON, April commissions
Black to-day issued the following circular
to pension agents:
Investigations are now in progress to
show that in some instances very gross
frauds have been perpetrated upon the
government through the fundamentally
of clerks employed in the pension agen-
cies. You must exercise the greatest care
in regard to the selection of your subordi-
mates. The government, it is true, may
be reimbursed from your bond for such
losses as arc above referred to. but this
does not prevent the resulting scandal to
the service. This message of earnest eau
ton is sent you to call your attention par
ticularly to your own risk and duty in the
premises. Investigate your agencies
thoroughly. Take all possible precaution
to cleanse the service of every suspicious
or unworthy person. (Signed)
JoHN @. BLACK, Commissioner.

WINNIPEG, April dispatches from

in the situation there. Messages received

template attacking them. Every precau-
ton has been taken to repulse the Indianl
should they make an attack.
j. Strong, one of the men in the bar
racks, wires as follows; with a heavy
attack, our situation would be critical"
1t is understood from this that the In
dams are not believed to have gone far
aud that danger from an attack is not ye
over.
