ExCITEMENr IN BERLIN.
Tho Fine Hand of the New Emperor Ap-
pearing in the Election.

LOhDOs. August, 23.--The published
dispatches from Berlin and the local pa
pers do not fairly represent the excite
ment which prevails there over the ap
preaching elections.
Berlin, although Immediately under
the eye Of the Government, has always
sent Liberal or opposition members to
the Reichstag and Landtag. Extraordi-
nary efforts are being made through Of
fetal Influence to reverse this.
The new Emperor wishes TO see bis
capital what his adulators call "loyal
city," and It's representatives in the legis-
lative bodies in iange with the conserva-
tive forces which are the main support
of the Empire.
The military party consider 1t scan
dal that the city Of Berlin should be con-
stantly in opposition 20 the policy Of the
Government.
In the meantime the Liberals and Rad
icals are as determined as ever to push
the canvass with all their accustomed
vigor.
Electoral meetings are held nightly at
which calls are made upon the voters to
remain firm in their allegiance to their
party While the Emperor and the con
stituted authorities are always mentioned
with respect by the speakers, liberal prin-
ciples OF government and policy are
freely and firmly advocated.
The Socialists are extremely active,
but their agitation does not help the Lib
erals. who do not openly countensnce It.
All this adds to the excitement, which is
bound to increase to fever heat ss the
campaign advances

NEW YORK, Feb. last Sunday night
there was fire in the hospital for the rup-

panic among the children and the death of
one of the domestics employed in the in
stitution. 1t was evidently Of incendiary
origin, but there was not the slightest
clue to the culprit. The fire marshal has
been closely investigating the matter ever
since, and this afternoon reached a rather
astonishing solution of the mystery.

matches on the register in such a
way that their ignition would quickly
start con1agration have been made. This
afternoon another and nearly successful
attempt was made by setting fire to a lot
OF linen in a drawer. The fire department
was called and another panic among the
cripples ensued, but fortunately the fire
was soon out and nobody was hurt. One
of the patients, Mary Wilson, pretty and
engaging child OF II years, was discovered
sneak!ng away from the spot where the
fire was discovered. and the fire marshal,
whose suspicious already pointed toward
her. taxed her with the crime. She at first
stoutly denied it. bat finally broke down
and confessed that she had made half
dozen attempts to burn the hospital. She
did not know why she did it. A physician
