THERE is always something sensational
about the politics of France. The latest
illustration is the publication by La
France of an article which pretends to
reveal plan concocted by Prince Bis
marck and Signor Crispi, the foreign
minister of Italy, to dismember France
after the precedent of Poland, and di-
vide up the provinces of the great coun-
try between Germany, Italy, Belgium and
Spain. It is difficult to believe that the
French people are really excited over the
absurd invention.

New YORK, May 5.-The World pub
fishes the following: James &. Blaine
Will not be inaccessible when the ma
tlonal Republican convention is held
June 10. From time to time it has been
stated that Mr.. Blaine's plans would be
so arranged that when the national Re-
publican convention was in session he
would be on the Atlantic, homeward-
bound. and wholly out of reach, so that
he could neither decline or accept a
nomination if rendered to him. The
World, however, yesterday definitely
ascertained that the Maine statesman
Will, at that particular and criti-
cal Juncture, be within comparatively
~ easy reach, so that he can easily be
communicated with and can accept a
call from his party, if it sees fit to enter
him in the lists, and he seems again dis
posed to encounter the hard and
peruous work of presidential
campaign. Some time ago Mrs. An
drew Carnegie, of this city, who, with
her husband, yearly spend some time
In the highlands of Scotland, sent an
invitation to Mrs. Blaine asking that
she and her distinguished husband
might join them in their yearly
outing. At the time the letter
was written contradictory reports were
being published in almost every news
paper in regard to Mr.. Biaine's health.
Again there was great uncertainty as
to the time of Mr.. Blaine's return. On
Wednesday last, Mrs. Carnegie re-
ceiVed letter from Mrs. Blaine, thank
ing her for her kind invitation, and
saying that she and Mr.. Blaine would
gladly accept. Mrs. Carnegie, on the
receipt OF the letter, Immediately sent
word as to the time she would arrive i'm
London. The trip will, in all
probability, be made by coach,
Mr.. Carnegie's favorite way of travel
ing, along and over the border. The
party will proceed through the beautiful
Scottish highlands. Mr.. Blaine's friends
here assert there is no doubt about his
improved health. 1t would be folly.
they say, for man to attempt a coach
Ing "trip for enjoyment if he were not in
good physical condition. Those who
know Mr.. Blaine say that he is alto
gether too careful to make such a trip
if he were not feeling well. Mr..
Carnegie said to World reporter last
evening: at is quite true that the
Blalne's are to join us for our trip to
Scotland. Our plans, as far as arranged,
Will call for an outing of some weeks.
We expect to leave London with Mr..
and Mrs. Blaine about the 9th of June.

CHECKMATING GOULD.
An Injunction Served on Him
Rather Suddenly.

New YORK, May 5.-The Times says
that Messrs. Gould, Sage and other
officers of the Missouri Pacific were yes
terday served with an order issued by
Judge Barrett, to show cause why their
acts as trustees of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas should not be declared illegal,
and enjoining them from altering the
status of the two companies pending the
approaching election of directors.
Gould was anxious to get control of the
International & Great Northern by get

Gates of Indebtedness did manage to get

Mr.. Gould has now encountered some
of the most determined and powerful
opponents of his life. Behind Mr.. Bull
and Mr.. Martinsen are understood to be
some of the heaviest railroad and finan-
cial men in the country. The effect of
the injunction which Judge Barrett
granted is completely to tie up Jay
Gould for the present and if made per-
manent it will tie him up forever in this
matter,

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 5.-The
troops returned from the scene of
trouble in Lowndes county this after
noon. They left everything quiet. They
assisted the sheriff in arresting num-
Der of negroes for whom warrants were
out. There was great fear of trouble.
and every indication of it from the fight
OF Friday, in which two deputy
sheriffs were shot. The presence
of the troops had a good
effect all around, and after being on
the ground some hours they were with.
drawn at the request of Col, Jones, com.
mander of the troops, and the sheriff of
the county. 1t is thought the trouble is
all over. The deputies who were shot
are doing well and one of them was on
duty Friday. 1t is not known that any
negroes were hurt during the trouble.
There would have been no difficulty but
for resistance on the part of the negroes
to the arrest of some of their number for
whom warrants had been issued, and

peror Much Improved.
BERLIN, May 5.-The emperor's sleep
was unbrol1en for several hours
toward morning. 1t was the best sleep
he has enjoyed for many weeks, and he
awoke from it with a good appetite and
in good spirits. He asked the physi-
clans if he would be able to enjoy the
open air, but the doctors, after con-
sultation, decided in the negative. The
emperor dined with his family, and this
afternoon took long rest and slept for
a considerable time. His temperature
fever has abated, his inquietude regard
ing the sloWness of the return of
strength does not lessen. His attempts
to walk yesterday and to-day proved the
utter weakness of his limbs. He could
not walk step. though he was able to
stand occasionally. The danger is that
in the event of a recurrence
of the crisis, with his pow
ers of resistance reached to the
minimum, there will be no chance
for him to survive long. The aluminium
canula now used has been positive re-
lief, as during the nights, wnen it was
first inserted, the emperor's fits of
coughing have decreased. On Thurs
day the emperor had five attacks of
coughing, which required the cleansing
of the canula. Yesterday he had only
three such attacks. He does no more
than is necessary of official work, and
relieves the tedium by changing his
apartment. He is wheeled from his
bedroom to the hall under the cupola,
where he receives oral reports; thence
to his study, where he spends some time
reading, and thence to his bedroom,
where he rests. His condition is GER
tainly credit to DR.. Mackenzie, and
everything indicates that the emperor
has again entered upon period of COM
parative freedom from the worst symp-
toms of his malady, which have hitherto
been followed by increasing dangerous
crises. DR.. Mackenzie will not take a
holiday until the emperor is able to ven
ture into the open air. The weather
grows warmer daily. A cottage will
be erected in the Schloss park for the
emperor's especial comfort, which
will be his first place of rest.

OMAHA, Neb., May 5.-The circum-
stances attending the burning of the
widow Freeze and her family in the
barn near Arlington yesterday are still
a mystery, but further investigation
tend to remove the suspicion that muir
der was one of the features of the hor-
rible affair. The fire, with the eXcep-
ton Of few Smoldering heaps, had
gone out by this morning and another
thorough search resulted in the discov-
cry OF the eighth victim of the holo-
caust, Louis GrOtZen, the hired man.
lie was found near the east end of the
barn among the remains of some horses.
Mrs. Freeze, the old lady, was living
near the door at the west end. All the
flesh and hair was burned from her face
and head, with the exception of a sim
gle gray tuft at the back which was
ne 1t to the ground when she fell, and
was thus protected from the flames.
LOUIS GroteluSchen, who, with the
other members of the family, was found
yesterday, was identified by part of
his wooden shirt, which bore his initials,
IL. G."
HIS WATCH WAS FOUND
lying by his side. The hands had
stopped at seventeen minutes past z
o'clock. In the large stall in which the
cows were kept. in the northeast corner
OF the barn, were found the bodies of
Ned Groteluschen and two of his child
rem, aged four and six years respectively.
The body of the third child, an infant.
was fOulM near that of its mother by the
door leading into the place where the
horses were kept. A horse had fallen
upon them, Mrs. GrOteluschen living
under the neck of the animal, and the
child between It's feet. The position in
which the horse lay on the woman's
breast had partially protected her from
the flames, and a portion of her neck
was gashed, as if with some sharp in
strument. Two physicians who ex-
amined the wounds, however, thought
they were not deep enough to have pro-
duced death, and were of the opinion
that they had been made by the toe
calk on the horses shoe. While the
SearcherS were at

In the house breakfast dishes were

table were found three little tin plates
out of which the children were accus-
toned to eat. By the side of each was
a slice of buttered bread and some
sauce. Out of one piece several bites
had been. taken. In the pantry were
several crooks full of fresh milk, which
was still warm when the men arrived
from Arlington. Mrs. Mary Freeze
and her husband. John Freeze. arrived
in Arlington from their home in Han

Quade is medical student, and FORM
erly lived in Webster. 1t is intimated
that he was intimate with the girl, and
the same intimation is made in regard
