Elephants on a Tear,

In New York a few days ago, during the
procession OF Barnum's circus, one of the
features was a herd of elephants drawing
o huge chariot. and headed by q regim ent
of tore h. bearers. At Grand street, one of
the oil lamps exploded, and the burning
oil fell on the head of an elephant. The
beast became wild with rage and pain, and
tearing loose from his keeper, made mad
rush for the GRO wd on the sidewalk. In an
instant all was confusion. The people
we're packed so closely that they could
move but few steps in either direction.
As the maddened beast rushed on, women
and children screamed, and men with their
ca mes and sticks tried to beat the animal
back. The police, stationed along the street
to keep the crowds in order, mussed theu-
selves into body and, with their long
sticks also endeavored to beat the animal
back, but without avail. It looked as
though many people would be crushed to
death, as with roar that could be heard
blocks away, the elephant made lunge at
the crowd, and began lashing about him
with his trunk. Down went the people
right and left, and it seemed as il
the elephant would have things all to
himself, when a gang OF keepers with sharp
teel sticks formed u circle about him, and
with tricks known only to circus
m en-, began to coax the elephant
into subm ission. A cloth was thrown
over his head to smother the burn
j ng oil and the sharp steels were prodded
into his side. In short time the animal
was quieted and led back to his place in
the procession. Several women and chill
dren were injured by being hit by the ami.
mails trunk.

1t does not become me to give from this of
fetal place expression to the personal feel
ings with which the decease Of my
master, the departure of the first German
There Isl. in fact, no need of it,,
for the feelings which animate me live In the
heart of every German But there is one
thing which 1 believe should not conceal
from you. 1t does not concern my senti-
lients, but my experience 1t ID the fact
that amid the sore visltations with which
the ruler just departed lived to see his house
afflicted, there were two circumstances
which filled him with satisfaction and COM
fort. One Of them was the effect that the
sufferings of his only son and successor, our
present sovereign lord, had produced not
only in Germany but in every part of the
world. l received this very day from New
York telegram of sympathy, showing what
confidence the dynasty OF the imperial house
has acquired among all nations This is the
legacy which the emperors long reign be-
queaths to the German people. The conf
dence which his dynasty has won will be
transferred to the nation, despite anything
that has happened.
The house received the communication
with evident satisfaction, the more SO be-
cause Herr Won Puttkamer in announcing
the death of the emperor to the lower house
OF the diet had not alluded to the new en-
peror. This omission had created painful
impression. The reichstag adjourned for an
indefinite period.
THE NEW EMPEROR PROCLAIMED.
The new king was proclaimed Frederick
Ill He signs Frederick" without reference
to emperor or king. The chancellor has re-
ceived the following telegram from Emperor
Frederick:
San Reno, March 9.-At this moment of
deepest sorrow at the decease Of the en-
peror and king, my beloved father, I must
express my thanks to you and to the min
listers of state for the devotion and loyalty
with which you all served him. 1 rely upon
the assistance of you all in the arduous
charge which has devolvsd upon me. I
leave here tomorrow FREDERICK
The emperor has also forwarded the fol-
lowing ordinance to the minister of state on
the subject of public mourning:
With regard to the national mourning
which has heretofore been customary, we
will not order any provision, but will rather
leave it to every German to determine how
he will give expression to his affiiction at the
death OF such monarch, and how long he
will deem it appropriate to restrict partici-
patton in public entertainments

Great Iumn in Oil.

Although the petroleum dealings have
not been established week on the stock
exchange the members Of that board have
experienced a corner, that they will re-
member for many years. The market
at the opening was quiet, but the GER
tificates were scarce for delivery and
brokers had some premonition OF trouble.
The price was gradually bid up and at 2
o. clock reached 96. In the New York stock
exchange at that time the corner culmi-
mated on demand by E. K. Willard that
all the certificates sol d him must be deliv-
cred. This sent the brokers climbing for
oil, but it could not be obtained in time
and the certificates we're bought in under
the rule. The prices went up to 145.

William stood nearest the emperor, half
pending over the couch. He earnestly
watched the face of the dying monarch until
le expired. The remains lie covered with
white cloth on the bedstead on which he
lied in the imperial chamber. The Lody is
surrounded with candles The expression of
;he face is extremely peaceful aud placid.
The following proclamation has been issued:
1t has pleased God to call the emperor and
king. our most gracious master, from life,
after short illness and after richly blessed
:eign. The whole nation mourns with the
:oyal house the decease of the deeply be-
owed and venerable monarch whose wisdom
las ruled SO long and gloriously over its
fortunes in war and in peace.

IN THE DIET AND REICHSTAG.
At the opening of the lower house Of the
Prussian diet to-day Herr Won Puttkamer,
vice president of the Prussian ministerial
council, said:
have the sad duty to make most pain
full communication to the house. It has
pleased God to call his majesty the emperor,
in the twenty-eghth year OF his glorious
reign, from his earthly existence by a peace
full death at $50 o'clock this morning. You
Will not expect me at this most solemn mo-
ment, when sorrow and care SO deeply stir our
hearts, to attempt to depict the feeling
with which the whole nation is filled through
the loss of our most beloved, exalted and
venerable emperor. I may, however, safely
and confidently say on this day of sore trial
that the Prussian people and their repre-
senlatives will now. more than ever, be pen
etrated by the consciousness that the sor-
rows of our exalted sovere:gn's house are
theirs, aud that the deeper the universal pain
at the decease of our aforementioned king,
the stronger and more indissoluble will be
the lnk uniting Prussas sovereign house
and Prussia's people in good and evil days. I
leave it to yourselves to take such resolu-
lions as are suitable to the gravity of the sit
uation.

house, closed the sitting with the words:

The Status OF the Tariff Bill.

1t is now reported that Mr.. Mills will
ask some other member of the committee
to take charge of the tariff bill in the
house. By doing this he would OF course
practically resign his leadership. In the
committee OF the whole a great many
amendments will probably be made The
man who will stand up and defend the bill
will be Mr.. Breckenridge OF Kentucky, Mr..
Mi lis contenting himself with making a set
speech. 1t is hinted that the workingmen
employed in several industries will send
representatives to congress to ask hear
ing. II they do SO, the premier" and his
colleagues may back down somewhat.
Representatives OF the leading seedsmen OF
the United States are in Washington to
advocate their claims. Representatives OF
the Northern leaf tobacco growers. as
well as OF the pottery and
other industries. are in Washing
ton vainly trying to be heard. In no re-
spect is the bill more secret than in it's
treatment OF the tobacco growers OF the
North. In the tariff schedule, the duty on
Sumatra wrappers is reduced to 65 cents
per pound-or more than 100 per cent.
In the internal revenue annex to the bill
cigars are excepted from the proposed re-
peal OF the revenue taxes. The tax is
abolished for the benefit OF the Southern
planters, whose product is suitable only
or mainly for manufacture into smoking
and chewing tobacco while it is retained
on the N orthern product OF leaf, which is
suitable for cigar wrappers. The repre-
sentatives from Connecticut and other
Northern states have not been slow to
discover this unjust discrimination.
