GERMANY.

BERLIN, April 13.-Semi official accounts
in the press regarding the differences be-
tween the emperor and Prince Bismarck
are at variance The following facts are
known in the highest circle: At the close
of the recent interview with Prince Bis
marck, the emperor intimated his inten-
ton of inviting Prince Alexander, of Bat
tenberg. TO Berlin TO confer an order upon
him and to appoint him to command
corresponding to the rank he formerly held
In the German army.
The chancellor protesting against such a
step as inexpedient. The emperor declared
that he would abandon his intention. The
matter was regarded at Charlottenberg as
settled and there was great surprise
when, few days later, Prince Bismarck
forwarded memorandum to the emperor
stating at length his reasons for
opposing the betrothal and saying that he
must resign if the emperor did not accept
his advice. The emperor at the interview
on Wednesday declined to permit the
no foundation for the hints appearing in
the press that the betrothal project may at
no distant day again be brought forward.
such a contingency IS out OF the queS-
ton, in view of the character of the per-
sOnages concerned and the political situa-
ton. The reports that Prince Hohen-
lobe and Count Won HatzfeldU, minister
to England, have been sounded as to their
willingness to succeed Prince Bismarck
are untrue. The emperor has not for a
moment contemplated the possibility Of
the chancellor resigning. The recent con
ference between Count Herbert Bismarck
and Crown Prince William in the waiting
room of the Potsdam station had nothing
to do with the question of the bethrothal

but referred TO the estates of the imperial

NEW MODE OF WARFARE.
A Novel Battle Between Two Train Crews
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 13.-There was an ex-
citing race between two locomotives on the
Burlington tracks last evening, which al
most eliminated in bloodshed. Volleys OF
stones were thrown and pistol shots fired,
but no one was badly hurt.
The trouble began at the Chicago & AL
ton crossing. Burlington engine No. 1S6
was pulling a train of freight cars from
the stock yards to Western avenue and en-
CINE 399 of the St. Paul was hauling light
train in the same direction. At the cross
ing both crews claimed the right of way.
In less than minute stones and pins were
flying in all directions
Switchman Benton, of the go" train,
was struck in the face with lump of coal.
Immediately he drew revolver and fired
into the cab of the st. Paul engine. No
body was shot, but when the bullet whis-
tied by the st. Paul engineer he put on
full steam and made for home.
The 90 engineer tried to overtake the
flying foe, but Oh account of the upgrade
between the Chicago q Alton crossing and
the brigde he lost considerable time
At last, the crew cut the engine loose
from the train and went laundering up
the track. Neither engine seemed to be
gaining ground suntil the bridge was
reached. At that point the "Q' engine
made squirt and it ran down the ~"
into the Western avenue yards some dis
wished to head the engine off at the
Western avenue target and have its crew
arrested, but the target was held against
them. The St. Paul engine disappeared
up the track, going at the rate OF thirty
miles an hour.

MOONSEINE RAID

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April l3.-Reveune
agent Chapman and Deputies Clay, Mitch
ell and Colquitt, and United States Dep
uty Marshal j. b. Young have just made a
big raid in Lauderdale county and cap
tured five moonshine distilleries and
about dozen prisoners. They
destroyed and confscated about
$1,000 or $500 of wildcat distilIeiy
property. At the still house of Andrew
Pearce, near Pruitton, the revenue officers
had a fight with the moonshiner, and Rev
enue Agent Chapman received a painful.
though not serious, wound in the arm and
one of the horses was killed. The moon
sinners in Marion county kHied two
guides sometime since, and as they were
never detected or brought to Justice, IL
has doubtless emboldened others TO
meet the revenue officers in open defiance
of law. Not long since Deputy Collect
ors ColQuit. Pitts and Mickle, after
making a successful raid in Randolph and
Clay COMMITTEES, were followed by moon
sinners or their friends TO the house where
they stopped all night, and took their
buggy and hack and carried them into the
woods and cut them 70 pieces, in retalia-
ton of the destruction OF several stills
The revenue officers say they will clean
this stigma from Alahama's fair
name or die trying in their efforts
to do so. Revenue Agent Chapman

successful raid, is one of the most efficient
officers of the revenue service. lie was Oh

last summer, and has been in the employ
of nursery company of Lake City, MINI,
and has always heretofore been regarded
as perfectly honest. He was working on
commission, and it was thought he had

drawn his commission. An agent of the
company arrived in town yesterday. and
his inquiry is alleged to have confirmed

frauding the company. Mr.. Stowe heard

WATCH FOR II.
High License Law Predicted for Maine in
Three Years.

PORTLAND, Me-, April 13.-It is predicted
by those who have lstudied the growing
sentiment in Maine against prohibition
that the state will have high license law
within year, and that the Pioneer Pro
hibition State" will withdraw the stringent
restrictions on the liquor traffic which
have made it famous The recent defeat
of General Neal Dow, the father of pro-
hibition' in the race for the mayoralty.
Portland Is pointed to a very significant
demonstration that the people are sick and
tired OF BOWS doctrines.
When the most prominent temperance
advocate in the world, at the head of both
the Democratic and Prohibition regular
tickets, not only fails of election in his own
city, but his nomination has the effect of
piling up majority for the candidate rep
resenJing free rum and the ncn-enforce-
ment of the law of double that which was
ever received before, there is good ground
for the high license prediction.
