THE NEW EMPEROR.
Sketch of the Life of the Heir to the Ger
man Throne.


Prince Frederick William Victor Al
bert, eldest son of Frederick H., was
born in Berlin, January y, 1859. On
February p, 1881, he was married to
Princess Augusta Victoria Amelia
Louise Marie Constance, daughter Of the
Grand Duke of Schleswig- Holstein-
g-Augustenburg. As a true
Hohenzollern he has been educated
more with reference to the
duties of a soldier than to the
demands which may be made upon him
as a statesman. He is above all things
a soldier, and makes the army ihe sub
iect of serious and enthusiastic study.
In the present condition of the public
mind in Germany only a soldier can
be a popular leader. Prince Wilhelm

what the Prince of Wales is to the club
men of Pail Mall. The Prince speaks
English as well as an Englishman-more
than that, as well as an Ameriean-for
he speaks it with distinctness. 1t Is
possi bic that the reason may lie IN the
fact that his fathers English tutor was
an American, the present Prof.
Thatcher. Of Yale College. He is a hrm
beIiaver in Prince Bismarck.

Millers Discussing Plan to Brace UT
Business.

BUFFALO, n. Y, June 13.-1he second
day of the Millers' National Convention
opened with a larger attendance. State
Senator Arkell read an inter-
esting paper on Bags and Bag
ging." At the conclusion of Senator
Arkell's paper, A. A. Freeman, of La
Crosse, Wis, read a very able paper on
Present Abuses-Sales of Flour and
the Regulation of the Sale and Pro-
duction.n An effort was made at this
mornings session to form a -four trust
but no definite action WAS taken. The
subject was discussed at length,
but the general sentiment of
the convention was that it
would be preferable to organize
a central office with paid officials where
all grievances and troubles arising from
cutting of rates, etc., should be re-
ferred The subject will come up again
at a later session.

Troops in the Streets.

A very serious riot occurred in Con-
stantinople. A regiment of black troops
of the imperial guard came into collis-
ion with a regiment of Albanians in the
streets, and pitched battle with revolv-
ers and bayone is ensued, resulting
in the killing of several men on
each side, and the severe wounding
of upwards Of forty on both sides
before the fight could be quelled
Tremendous excitement prevailed dur
ing the conflict, and it was only through
the efforts of Ghazi Osman Pasha, the
marshal of the imperial palace, who
rode to the scene at the head of a large
body OF troops, that the rioters were
finally disarmed and driven to their
quarters. The sultan witnessed the
fight from a window of the palace, and
was greatly alarmed lest the affray por-
tended an attack upon the palace and
his assassination

SHERIDAN LOOKS BETTER.
Marked Improvement In the Appearance
of the General.

WASHINGTON, b. c., June l3.-Gen.
Sheridan has rested quietly since the
last bulletin. There has been no change
in his condition for the worse. The
following is the morning bulletin: ''Gen.
Sheridan slept rather more than usual
last night. Towards morning he had
period of general depression following
an attack of coughing From this he
quickly and easily recovered. At pres
ent his appetite is sufficient; his pulse is
l0O-l02; his respiration p and regular;
his temperature normal. Ibis appear
ance is better"
At | 80 this afternoon ii was stated at
Gen. Sheridan's house that there had
been no material change in the GEN
erals condition since the morning Dulle
tin was issued. The General has been
sleeping nearly all the morning and has
taken nourishment of beef tea and
milk with apparent relish. Up to
last Sunday the stomach refused
to digest the beef tea, but
now he is able to retain ii without any
trouble. The periodicity of the heart
attacks has been very marked hereto
fore. They usually occurred at inter
walls of every three days, and as this is
the fourth day since the last occurrence
of heart failure, its absence is looked up
on as being very encouraging.
Gen. Sheridan's condition is so much
improved this afternoon that his physi-
clans have decided to omit the regular
afternoon bulletin. Another bulletin,
however, will be issued this evening.
The 9 O'Clock p. NJ. bulletin follows
"Gen. Sheridan has slept naturally the
greater part of the day. His pulse has
varied from 100 to 106. His respiration
has been rather less labored, and more
regular. He has taken sufficient nour-
ishment. He has not been annoyed by
cough. -

WILLCLDSE THE MILLS.
A Protracted Lockout in the Iron Indu
try Predicted

r. II. johnson, of New York, secreta-
ry Of the Merchants Steel Association
and also of the Wire Nail Manufactur-
ers' Association in an interview at Pitts
burg stated that there was no doubt
but that there would be long lockout
among the employees of the iron mills.
1t will last, he says, until September,
perhaps longer. The iron manufacture
ers have arranged their scale, which
proposes a general reduction of 10 per
cent. This is their ultimatum, and as
the Amalgamated Association will not
sign it, there will be conflict At
present the manufacturers are running
their mills just to keep their labor to-
gether and in hopes that the depressed
iron market will advance.
