Bismarck on Germany's Strength.

ltopU1JW 1888 bU James GOrd0n Bchnet.
BERLIN, Jan. s. New York Herald Cable
Special to the Bee. In an interview with
Councillor Won Ladenberg, the German CON
sci at Paris who has called to express the
fears of the German business people for the
immediate future, Bismarck made an inter
csting statement with regard to the ability of
the empire to resist foreign aggression, After
listening rather impatiently to what his Wis
itor had to say, the chancellor remarked
"Will people never stop bothering me about
the attitude of France and French prepara-
tions. Germany is stronger than France.
We have nothing to fear, except an unforeseen
and unjust attack, from any quarter. Even
then Germany is strong enough to resist Il
simultaneous attack on two, or for that mat
ter three sidesn
But" added the chancellor, smiling, "the
best guarantee of peace is the bad powder
used for the Lcbel rtlcs'

Accidents.
Senator Wilson on Hand.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Jan. 3.-TSpecal Telc-
gram to the BEE. Senator Wilson arrived
to-day and has opened his senatorial cam
paign at the Kirkwood. So far he is in ad-
vance, not only of any rivals, but practically
of any members, only three or four of the $50
having reported. The senator does not seem
to be at all worried about the question of the
succession and thinks that his chances are
all right He regrets to be away from con-
gress at this time and says it is the first time
since he entered the senate that he has
missed the opening of the session after the
holidays. But it is rather necessary this
time for him to be in Des Moines. While he
feels an assurance that he will be reelected,
he realizes that it is necessary to be on the
ground ready to explain anything that may
need explanation and to sustain his candi-
dacy on the grounds on which his friends
have placed it.
The opposition, so far, have not united on
any candidate. There is now and then talk
of dark horse to be Drought out at the last
moment but the idea does not meet with gen
eral favor. The opposition certainly will not
take up the foolish cry of "anythiug to beat
Wilson" and attempt to spring some new
name on the caucus for that purpose. Sen
ator Wilson has made too good record and
stands too well with the people of the state to
be set aside on any such preteXt as that.
Colonel Hepburn has not yet put in an ap.
pcarancc and there seems to be no effective
head to the opposition to Senator Wilson. He
is so far in possession of the field and will
stay here until after the battle is over and
from the present outlook is very confident
that he will be his own successor in the
United States senate.

QUEENSTOWN, Jan. g. New York Herald
Cablc-Special to the BEE. The Herald's
predicted gale burst with unerrng accuracy
over this port early in the forenoon to-day
and greatly increased in fury as the day ad-
vanced First it blew from the southeast,
then veercd to south southwest and now ut
10 p. m, it is blowing with hurricane vioenc c
from the south The barometer yesterday
registered 30lS, now it records $3.50, and is
still going down. Four coasting schooners
that went to sea at daybreak put back again
and narrowly escaped going on the
lee shore. Two English cross
channel passenger steamers which
left Cork this afternoon had to come to
anchor in the inner harbor. Several craft
along this shore have been swamped and the
seas have flooded the lynchcs of the quay on
which is the custom house and many shipping
offices. Heavy seas have done considerable
damage to the extension works of the Great
Southern e. Western railway The gale is
increasing and is attended with an incessant
down pour.

Kingstown and then took the train for Avon

contained in Il telegram received this

been canvassing. But little credencc is
placed in the report. The Herald correspond
cnt here is informed that Parncll is en- route
to Cork. The Irish leader evidently sent no
word rs to his movements and is apparently
travelling as to escape observation. Scv-
eral of his friends here think this evening
that Sexton's illness as well as the recent Sc

PEDESTRIAN POINTS.
What Some Noted Fast Walkers and
Athletes Are Doing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Jan. 3,-[Special Tele-
gram to the BEE. l-Hoagland, the winner
of two medals for rapid walking and remark
able endurance in Kansas City, is resting
to-day and preparing for the walk which will
probably occur at Topeka next week. Ralph
johnson will return to-day from Topeka,
where he has about completed arrangements
for n three days walk at that city. The race
will consist of five hours walk each night
of the race, and Hoagland, Eddy, Messier
and Hart are expected to COM
pete. After they race at Topeka
the pedestrians will go to Wichita
and other western towns. A race is also
arranged to take place ut Denver, and Hoag-
land will, no doubt, enter. Efforts are being
made to arrange race between Littlewood,
of England, Scott, of Australia, and Hoag-
land for 81, 900 corner and the champion
ship of the world. The race, if it occurs,
will take place at Philadelphia or New York
in May next. Hoagland said this afternoon
that in case he won the championship belt
he would retire from the track. He does not
propose, he says, TO grow old in the service,
but will retire while he has record to be
proud of.

EFFECT OF THE TRUST.
The Standard Forces Up the Price of

New York, jan 3.-There was great ex-
ctement in the Oil market to-day and the
crowd around the oil ring is one of the larg-
est ever seen there. The first sales were
made at 9O1s, which was g above Saturdays
closing and the advance was accompanied
with the widest excitement, which carried
prices up to 933s before there was reaction
extending to 4 per cent. At 93ss
there was a slight pause in
the advance and the price fell
&c. The range of prices now is the highest
for over two years. Brokers generally
ascribc the advance to the manipulation of
the Standard Oil company, but one of the
representatives of that company said the ad-
vance was simply caused by the success of
the shutdown movement, resulting from the
producers union, and the fact that the stock
of oil is being reduced 10000 bbls per month.
The sales of oil made on the way up from -
were largely sales of short stuff and the
operators in Pittsburg and the west are
heavily short There is also u big short in
terest in the market.
Indications of u corner are becoming more
marked. The price advanced to 94Ssc before
1890. Some trouble is expected from the
rapid rise. The price has advanced 4jsc
since Saturdays clG-e.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 3F-The excitement in oil
to-day has seldom been equalled. The mar
kct opened strong at 90 and in twenty min
utes advanced to $685.. A general rush to
cover was then made by the shorts, but in
this many of them were unsuccessful, owing
to the scarcity of certificates. In the mean
time prices continued to advance and at
o'clock sales were reported at 95
The news of the advance created great eX-
citement among spectators and in Il short
time after the opening the lobby of the eX-
change was crowded with outsiders anxious
to close their deals. About the ring a scene
of pandemonium prevailed. The shorts were
wild and shouted themselves hoarse in their
efforts to secure oil to cover.
