The Struggle for Supremacy through Marriage
Likely to Cause Grave Trouble.
BERLIN, April Prince Alexander, OF
Baltenburg, comes to Charlottenburg
next Thursday, AID his bethrotal to Prin-
cess Victoria takes place early in June.
Prince Bismarck has Withdrawn his resig-
nation solely from consideration that
Germany under the domination of En-
press Victoria would lead to a speedy
breakup of German unity. Nothing
since the accession of Emperor Frederick
has occurred that has so strong
ly animated the Prussian conservatives
against the empress as the marriag g
question. All of the radical newspapers
treat the Battenberg question with dis
dain, as OF no consequence to the Ger
man policy and ignore the fact that Bat
tenberg is only one chord in the general
discord struck by the party of the en-
press. The reticence of the Berlin press
in referring TO the court irtrigues has
been greater than was required by defer
ence to the emperor and the
leading officers Of state. The Bat
tepberg marriage becomes almost
minor incident in court intrigues among
other successful schemes. The emperor
Moltke series Of statements On the con-
dition of the army, followed by request
that the general be present at the meet
ings Of the commission on reforms in fhe
army. Count Won Moltke replied that it
would be impossible for him to preside
over the commission without knowing
how it was constituted ana what reforms
were desired. Consequently the commits
sion has been dropped. Another move of
the party of the empress is to overhaul
the diplomatic appointments.
Tonight the National Zeitung says:
circumstances may arise under which
Bismarck will no longer oppose the
union. This, it may be, would mean
postponement Of affairs until the politi-
cal objection now raised shall cease to
operate. The visit of the Queen of
England to Charlottenburg, therefore,
will take place as arranged but the be-
trothal viii not publicly be brought for
ward. This is an official statement and
simply means Bismarck's advice has
been overruled. The Queen of Eng
land comes here with her Bat
tenberg proteges to carry out her
family projects without regard for the
sentiments of German nobility or the
German people and equally regardless
that her daughter, the empress, thwarts
the policy of the minister (Bismarck) who
made her empress and without whom i'm
perial Germany might cease to be. Bis
marck in his position does not rely on
the military party. He has the support
Of the whole country and of the royal
heads of the German federation. He is
really master of the situation.

Powell on Spencer.

In recent address on the evolution of
civilized man, before the AnthropOlogical
society of Washington, Maj. j. W. Powell
paid his respects to Herbert Spencer in
the following language: "And now an
other philosopher has arisen in the world
the great Herbert Spencer: and he has
discovered another fundamental prin-
ciple, a major premise-that human pro-
gress is by 'the survival of the ft5est in
the struggle for existence That the fit
test may survive, the unfit must die.
Then let the poor fall lnUo deeper de-
graduation, then let the hungary starve,
then let the unfortunate perish, then let
the rich and the wise and the good and
strong live and flourish and propagate
the race, then let the ignorant remain in
his ignorance. He who does not seek for
knowledge himself is not worthy to
possess knowledge; and the very children
of the ignorant should remain untaught,
that the sins of the father may be visited
upon the children. Let your government
cease to regulate industries, and, instead
of carrying the mails, let them erect pris
ons; let governments discharge their
state-employed teachers and enlist more
policemen. Such is the philosophy of
Spencer and his adherents. And they
establish journals to advocate these prin-
ciples, and edit papers to advocate these
principles, and they have become the
most active propagandists of the day;
and the millions are shouting, Great is
philosophy, and great are the prophets of
philosophy

IN MEMORY OF THE DEAD.
Eulogies on the Late Chief Justice Waite De
Iivered in the Supreme Court.

EulogieS on the Late Chief Justice Waite De-
ivered in the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-In the supreme
court today Attorney General Garland
presented aresolution recently adopted by
the bar and officers of the court respecting
the late Chief Justic Waite, and spoke at
some length in eulogy of the deceased.
Justic Miller in receiving the resolu-
tions, also paid an eloquent tribute to
the late chief justic, and said: ave
fully appreciate the greaS loss which the
country, the bar and the officers of the
court have sustained by this sad event.
The blow falls however with more force
upon the members of this court,
who were associated with him
in the performance of its duties, been
accustomed to the benefit of his learning
and of his ability in the discharge of du-
ties common to us all, for not only has he
guided our pathway and lightened our
labors by his experience, his skill and
his practical tact, but with an urbanity
and kindliness of heart rarely, if ever,
excelled, he has won our affections and
attached Us to himself, so that while we
sympathize in the public loss, each also
feels the sorrow of final separation
from a personal friend"
Justice Miller then announced that the
court would cease to hear arguments on
May 4th, and would adjourn for the term
on May 14th.

Large Amount of Property Destroyed in Iowa

CHICAGO, April Ga special from Ma
son City, To-, says: The greatest freshet
ever known in this country was expert
enced last night, the town of Rock Falls,
or Shell Greek river, experiencing il
most disestrousIy. The iron bridge, 155
feet long, and the dam are both gone and
the damage to property there will not be
far short of $4,000. The village of
Rock Falls, south of the river, was COM
pletely inundated; houses and barns were
crushed and swept away and in some in
stances no vestige remains of what was
before a substantial structure. The
house of Mr.. Cruikshank where he lived
with bis wife and three children was
crushed like an egg shell, the family
having narrow escape. The house in
which Mrs. Anderson lived with her
five children was swept from its
foundation and foated against some
trees, where it lodged, the woman and
children ecaping on the floating ice,
where they remained barefooted and in
their night clothes until daylight, when
the water receded and their rescue was
made. The large bridge went ont when
the Ice gorge gave way and portions of
the tresseIs and stringers are now to be
seen on the farm of Joseph Herret, where
they were borne by the flood, two miles
below the dam, and the tubing,
considered the best in the state. is gone.
Miles of fences were torn from land where
water was never known to reach before.
When the water receded it left immense
plies of ice in the streets. High cakes
of ice three feet thick are piled up on
one another ten to fifteen feet high, and
it will be there for weeks before they
melt and make the streets passable. 1t
looks like an immense Arctic scene with
the roofs of houses protruding through.
