LONDON, June 15.-Immediately upon
receipt of the intelligence of the Emperor's
death Queen Victoria telegrsphed q mes
sage of sympathy and sorrow to Empress
Victoria.
The flags on the American and other
legations are at half mast in consequence
of the death of Emperor Frederick. The
bells of West Minister Abbey were tolled
this afternoon when the news Of the En-
peror's death was received. At the Ger.
man embassy the blinds were drawn. The
Prince Of Wales will leave for Berlin to
morrow evening. Mr.. Gladstone and
scores of other prominent persons called
at the German embassy and left their
cards.
The stock market is inactive. Foreign
securities are shade firmer, the impres
sion Of the operators being that the death
of the Emperor of Germany will cause no
weakening of Prince Bismarck's power,
and that q peace policy will continue Il
predominate in Germany.
The Paris and Vienna bourses are firm
The German markets are all closed.
Despite the inclement weather, crowd
of Germans this afternoon surrounded ths

Reported Scheme of Far Eastern Men to

PTTrsBURG, June 15.-The express trains
which arrived at the Union station this
morning were crowded with distinguished
Republicans en- route to the Chicago Con-
vention.
Among them were Senators HOar, of
Massachusetts,; Hale, of Maine; Hiscocs,
of New York; Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
and Stewart, of ofNevada; +; Congressman Pay
son, of Illinois; Steel, of Indiana, and
Hayden, of Massachusetts, and Delegate
Cogswell, ofths same State. Pennsylvania
was represented by State Chairman Cooper.
The Allentown delegation, headed by Dele
gate F. Fl. Hersch, were also passengers on
one Of the trains from the East
number of the delegates talked with
ont reserve about the coming convention.
There was a disposition, however, among
some of the far Eastern men to MAINTAIN
strict guard on the expression OF opinion
as to their choice for the Presidential NOM
ination. Senator Hale said that his peo-
pls really had no choice. Senator Hiscock
said he would name no one at present, and
Senator Hoar, when asked if he would &C.
cant the permanent craftsmanship OF the
convention if rendered to him, would
neither saw 'tyes" nor no." but turned
sround to the group of Senators and Con-
gressmen and said: "Ask some OF these
Gentlemen" Each of the Senators referred
To the other as the best man to be inter
viewed.
The distinguished group was asked for
cpiuions regarding the story of the alleged
third letter from Blaine, and while there
WAS A difference of opinion on some ques-
tions. they all agreed that there WAS no
foundation for such report.
The silence of Senator Hale and several
others of the Eastern people seemed rather
significant, when an explanation came
from a gentleman on the train, who was
not directly connected with the party, bat
who claimed to have an mixing OF tne
plans of some of them. He said tnas IL
WAS the policy of several OF the gentiemen

English Press Comments.

LONDON, June 15.-The 81. James Ca
zette says: "The Emperor was true man
and the loss is very great. The new En-
peror has his own ideas as to what to dc
or not TO do for the safety of Germany,
and these may have a certain Importance
in England. Emperor Frederick's death
may suspend whatever warlike designs
exist in Europe. Later events will move
more quickly and England must promptly
decide what part she means to play in
certain contingencies
The Pal Mall Gazette says: Emperor
William, by his devotion to duty, untiring
industry and firm grasp OF a great idea,
showed how king could live. Emperor
Frederick has shown the world how q
king can die. No characters in history
stand higher. He neither grasped vile good
in the present nor vainly lamented the
darkness of the future, but earnestly exc
cuted whatever was possible to accomplish
in his time"

German-American's Opinion.

NEW YORK, June 15.-Oswald Ollen-
dorfer, of the Stats Zeitung, to day ex-
pressed himself thus: ''The death Of EN-
peror Frederick. will have very little infiu-
ence in European affairs. His death has
been expected for considerable time, and
he has been on the brink of the grave ever
since he ascended the throne. His reign
has been q short one. The situation in
Germany will not be changed. The dead
Emperor, think, was even more popular
with the masses than Emperor William.
There is no comparison to be made between
the two. The old Emperor during his
life time did many great deeds, and for
these the people reverenced him, theil
love amounting to almost veneration.
The young Emperor William. rumor says,
favors a wsrlike policy. l cannot cay
whether this is true or not, but do moi
look for any great change in German af
