The Kaiser in Rome

ROME. October 13.-The fact that the
Emperor only presented Cardinal Ram
polla with costly gift instead of con-
ferring on him decoration of the order
of the Black Eagle which he expected
to receive, has caused feeling of dis
satisfaction at the Vatican.
Extreme disappointment is expressed
in the highest clerical circles at the
speeches of King Humbert and EN-
peror William.
The Minister of War to day issued an
order to the troops expressive Of appro-
val of King Humbert and Emperor
William.
Emperor William to day presented
the Pops with a picture of the late En-
peror Frederick, taken on his
death bed. He also appointed the
Prince of Naples lieutenant in
King Humbert's German regiment
and comforting upon Count Guicciali,
Syndic of Rome, the decoration of the
order of the Black Eagle.
The AsServator Romano says the inter
view between the Emperor and the
Pope has not changed the position of
affairs and Europe will never enjoy DUR
able peace until the temporal power of
the Pope shall have been restored.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Two Boys Discover Five Dead Babies
In a Soap Box.

CHICAGO, October 13-A CHASTITY dis.
coVery was made By couple of boys in
deserted brick yard at the corner of
Ihlrty-third and Laurel Streets this
afternoon. They found an old soap box
and opened it. The dead and decom-
posed bodies of five babies laid side by
SIDE were found within. The THIRTY
NTH Street Station was notified and the
remains were sent to the morgue. The
Dodles were examined and found to be
badly decompoSed. Two were males
and the other three females. One of
the males and one of the females ap-
peared to have lived about two weeks,
While the Others had died shortly
after birth. A cursory examine,
uon revealed seeming fracture
OF the skull in two cases, but
these were the only marks of violence
discovered. The babies had probably
been dead for about ten DAYS. No Of
ticers bave been assigned to work up
the case, the reason being given that
there are none to spare. the strike ne
cessltatlng the temporary abandon
ment of all detective work. The police
of the ThIrty-hfth district are of the
opinion ha the babies came from a
baby fl nm" nr lying-in hospital. None
OF these al KIN wn to exist in the yicin-
ity, and it Is belle ,ed the soap box was
carried to the brick yard from a dis
tar &c with pl, of re- use, a consider
able amount Of WI ich has been depos-
tied there.

THE BERLIN LETTER
Indignation in Germany Over
Mackenzle's Book.
A PLOT AGAINST BISMARCK
notwithstanding Grtst OF
General Notes,
The Berlin Letter j..

BERLIN, October Copyright 1888
Associated Press of New York)-Only ,
summary of DR.. Mackenzie's book il
yet accessible to the public here, Blu
enough is known of Its contents tt
arouse the savage indignation of tn.
German officials. Putting aside the
medical dispute, the charges which DR.
Mackenzie levels at Prince Bismarck
of exciting German doctors to entrar
him into a doubtful declaration
as to the nature of the EN-
peror's disease are felt to be poison
Gus ISLANDERS on the reputation
of the Chancellor. The Simultaneous
appearance of the letter of Empress
Frederick to DR.. Mackenzie, approving
his treatment, is to be held to prove
concerted action to blacken Prince
Bismarck'S character. DIR. Macken-
zie's attack on Drs. Gerhardt and Berg
mann can be answered in the courts of
law here or in England, and can also be
met by European specialists, not Ger
man, but Prince Bismarck is powerlegs
to deal with DR.. Mackenzie. He will,
howev r, use every resource of his craft
less to do him further harm.
Airport was circulated yesterday re-
garding the theft OF cipher code from
the Emperor's room indicates that the
ChancellOr's game of surveillance over
the ex-Empress which ceased by
order of Emperor William after her
surrender of Frederick's papers, will
be renewed. A watch will be kept
over her partisans and her movements
including her proposed visit to Wind
sor.
Meanwhile, Bismarck Is having bad
time. He is suffering from a renewal
of his attack of govt il serious form.
partly arising from worry. 1t is said
his condition will probably oblige him
to retire from pablo affairs within
few months.
The ProgressionistS overlook the fact,
well known in official circles, that En-
peror Williams experience in Vienna
and Rome have Tiveted him closer than
ever to Bismarck, whose policy has
made him feel helplessly dependent
upon the guidance of the Chancellor.
Popular feeling certainly sides with
Drs. Bergman and Gerhsrdt against
DR.. Mackenzie's aspirations. Yet the
Progressionist papers select the most
offensive passages for prominent COM
ment.
The Congress of Naturslists, in ses-
sion at Cologne, has already adopted
vote of censure to DR.. Mackenzie and
members of the various Berlin insti-
tutes, Clinical, Pathological and Physio-
logical, and everybody associated with
the medical profession condemn the
physician.
The Geffeckin trial moves but slowly.
The official journals chant hymns of
peace over Emperor Williams progress
in Austria and Italy; Still loud under
tones of war continue to produce
sense of insecurity.

MRS. HEWITT WINS.
The Lady Carries Off the Prize in
the Type Writing Contest.


A lively contest of type writing took
place last evening at Clayton's Com
mercial College, between ope rators OF
this city, for silver cup offered as a
prize to the most rapid operator on any
of the different tyEe-writing machines.
Mr.. McGurrin was barred. The winner
of the cup is Mrs. L. N. Hewitt, stenog-
rapher and typewriter at the Union
Pacific Railway office, this city. Mrs.
dewitt operated Mr.. McGurrin's type
writer, new No. 2 Remington, which
was presented to him by the manufsc-
turers of that machine after his recent
victory in the East. It is model of
beautiful and accurate mechanism.
Her competitor was Mr.. W. G. Miller,
employed in the Office of the Co Cd.
Wagon & Machine Company, this city
Mrs. Hewitt wrote upwards of eighty
words per minute correctly for ten
minutes, on entirely new matter, rate
of speed reached by only four opera
tors at the recent contest at Toronto, and
Mr.. McGurrin says that her work
is superior IN appearance to that
of most of the contestants there. The
cup Is held by her subject to challenge
by any operator at any time. So that
any aspirant for fame in manipulating
the glittering keys, may have a
chance at any time to win it.
The rooms were crowded by those
interested in the contest, and by re-
quest Mr.. McG1rrin gave an exhibit
ton Of his skill in copying without
looking at the machine. and writing
blindfolded, at which he has no equal in
the world.
