LONDON, Oct. 19.-LOrd Salisbury has at
last deemed it advisable to return 10 the
foreign Office and ascertain what business
can be OF so much Importance as to occasion
a daily visit from the German Ambassador.
Lord Salisbury came on today from his cOun-
try seat at Hatfield In response to a letter
from Count Won Hatzfeldt, and the two had
a prolonged interview. 10 Is understood
that Count Won Hartzfeldt formally COM
planned to the English Premier and Foreign
Secretary Of the publishing In England Of the
fac-simile OF Emperor Frederick's complaint
oI Dr. Bergmann. This complaint was writ
zen Dy the late Emperor on a slip Of paper,
Which was handed to DIR. Mackenzie, but
Whlcn, though the latter did not publish II
IN MS Dook, he exhibited to a number Of his
Irlends. The paper with fac-simile Of the
late EMPEROR 5 handwriting was printed In
London. Lord Salisbury, however IL Is
stated, rePudiated all completely In its publi-
cation In behalf Of himself and the English
royal family The German Ambassador
then inquired as to the proof Of the report
that Prince Alexander Of Battenburg and
Princess Victoria Of Prussia were 10 be mar
ried shortly at Windsor. Lord Salisbury de-
elared that he had never heard any such re-
port, but promised to make inquiry in the
matter. 1t Is evident that the relations be-
tween the British and Prussian Courts are
becoming critical, and that the English Pre-
mier will have his hands foil in making ex-
plantations and smoothing matters between
the Queen and her headstrong grandson.
The Bloodhounds Escape.
LONDON, Oct. 19.-Everybody in town has
been startled this afternoon by great loss
which Scotland Yard has sustained, and all
wires connecting detective headquarters
with the local stations Of this vast city have
been throbbing convulsiyely because Sir
Charles Warren has lost his bloodhounds.
In furtheranee Of their training to catch the
Whitechapel murderer, the dogs were taken
this morning TO a common In the suburbs,
and there laid on scent after scent. When
let loose on their last run they were lost sight
Of altogether. The men In charge were fran
tic. Despite the closest search, the dogs up
to the present have not been found. Per-
haps some smart dog fancier has made
grand haul Of Warren's prize hounds.
Royal Farewells.
ROME, Oct 19.-Emperor William took
luncheon at the Quirinal today and left for
Berlin at 2.30 this afternoon. He was ac-
eOmpanied to the station by King Hnmbert
and others. The parting was cordial, the
Emperor embracing all the Royal party.
Foreign Notes.
A writer for the London Times roundly
lectures Americans on the exclusion OF the
Chinese by domestic legislation regardless OF
treaty obligation, and cites the case OF Aus
tralia as an example where the courts de-
clare against the government and admit the
Chinese.
Tne fund for Bradlaugh amounts 10 92485
and will enable him TO wipe out all his debts.
The North Wales Coal Owners AssOeia-
ti0n have granted their w0rkmen rise OF 10
per cent. The danger Of universal strike
is now over.
The latest political offence In Ireland Is
