LONDON, June 1O,-The amusing En-
glish national defense scare continues
and affords the funny spectacle of one,
half England's naval, military and other
great men trying to persuade the other
half that Britain has degenerated into a
fourth rate power and is in danger OF
being gathered in by the parley vous.
The Daily Telegraph laments by the col
umn under the heading, England in
Danger" while the hystGrical Globe calls
it England's agony. The Secretary OF
the Navy says all Frances shipping put
together could not bring a hundred
thousand soldiers to England's shores.
Lord Wolseley, Adjutant General
OF the forces, says the Secretary
knows not what he is talking about and
that the invasion could be accomplished
with the greatest ease any day in the
year. The Secretary boasts that the
army and navy never were in better
condition, while Wolseley gnashes his
teeth and sheds fgurative tears over the
physical degeneration OF recruits and
the insufficient food supplied. English
men, as rule, continue to be afraid
but they need not be; il the men who
know things were put in places instead
OF men related to royalty or with ances.
tors, and the money spent for what is
wanted, things would be all right.

Depew was met as he was leaving the

Depew was clad in new light suit, and

"What is the news, Mr.. Depew?"

Mr.. Depew carefully adjusted his

that Mr.. Depew has seen the represent

England-Press Agitatcd.

BERLIN, June l0.-The fall OF Herr
Puttkamer, Vice President Of the Prus
sian Ministerial Council and Prussiar
Minister OF the Interior, has caused im,
mense jubilation in the Radical camp.
The satisfaction which the Govern,
ment party derive from the Kaiser's
yielding to Prince Bismarck's represen.
tation that it would never do by vetoing
the quinquennial Parliament bill to fur
nish the Radical opposition preteXt to
boast that the Kaiser had sided with it
against his own cabinet and the Con-
servative majority, is dampened by the
prospect OF an imperial rescript.
The Cologne Gazette and other Govern
ment organs daily urge the Emperor
against doing anything likely TO cause
further designations.
The Empelor's journey to Potsdam
was idealized by the loyalty OF the peo-
Pile and has been treated by the Berlin
press in the spirit OF the Arthurian
legend. The Emperor's appetite is still
enfeebled by the warm weather, and his
lassitude, and the doctors are trying to
augmentit. DR.. Leyden has again joined
the consultation.
An official bulletin concerning the
Emperor's condition says that drring
the last few days the Emperor has had
slight difficulty in swallowing, which,
however, has not affected his general
health. On Saturday evening
the Emperor conferred with Minister
Fridburg. He pfssed good night lust
night. He rose at 10 a. IN. to-day, went
into the park and after an interview
with Count RadolinsKi, and Prince Bis
marck drove with the Empress and DR..
Mackenzie to Berlin.
1t is rumored that another cabinet
minister has resigned, and Count Won
Munster will be called from the German
embassy at Paris.

titled that he had performed various
duties in the Custom House, including

lowing is the weather crop bulletin for

DAMAGES FOR A CHILD.
A Deefslon In a Michigan Case Which Set
Aside All Prccedents.


Aside All Precedents.
DETROIT, MIcn., June 1O.-A good deal
of talk is being occasioned by the deci
sion by the Michigan Supreme Court in
the case Of little Maud Battishill against
the Wabash railroad, which is a complete
change of front on the part Of the court
in the matter OF corporation cases. The
little girl had her leg taken off at the
Summit street crossing in this city. A
verdict OF four thousand dollars was OBJ
tanned before Judge Jennison, but the
Supreme Court ordered new trial on q
technicality. The second trial occurred
before Judge Look, OF Wayne Circuit,
and the jury gave the little plaintiff five
thousand dollars.
Counsel claimed contributory neg
ligence, but Judge Look held that u
child Of tender years could not be guilty
OF contributory negligence, and her
parents could not have their negligence
fastened upon the child to the injury Of
the sufferer, also that the child could not
be guilty OF trespass. These ruling were
right in the face Of long precedent, and
the case was surely expected to be re-
versed by the Supreme Court, but the
court abandoned all its presidents and
affirmed the find of the lower court.
This opens new era in corporation,
and especially railroad litigation in this
State

Rev. C. II. PcndIeton, the Baptist minis
ter Of Worcester, who made himself re-
sponsible for the equalization OF offensive
yarns about the President and his wife.
The reverend gentleman makes very
abject apology. He tries to explain away
his responsibility for what was publish
Gd, and tells how he heard the stories
while he was in Washington attending
the Baptist Convention, and accepted
them without any attempt TO verify
them. lie lays the responsibility for
what was published upon the Worcester
paper and its reporter, and ends by de-
claring his purpose to votefor Cleveland
next fall. 1t is not likely that the letter
will be published.

TOLEDO, o., June lo.-The Toledo and
sandusky clubs were to have played a
championship game of the Tri-state
League series at Presque Isle to-day, but
the Toledo club failed to reach tho
grounds. 1t was about o'clock when
the Toledo men, GiImore's famous mill
tary band and n large number of citi-
zens embarked on the steamer Saginaw
for the Isle. When short distance out
they were caught in n heavy windstorm,
and the steamer was driven SO far out
into the lake that it was o'clock before
she got back. The Sandusky team
reached the Isle by another steamer.
When time was up, the game was called,
and Toledo not responding, Sandusky
was given the game by score Of 8 to 0.

The Wheeling ball team was to have
opened its first series with the Canton
team ut Canton last Saturday. The
game was started but had to be called mt
the end Of the fourth inning Oh account
of rain. At that time no runs had been
made, each side had made three hits
and the Canton men had two errors
scored up against them. The attend
ance, notwithstanding the threaten
ing weather, was about 1000 and
had it been pleasant there would proba-
bly, have been double that number
turned out to see the once proud leaders
struggle for victory to help their poor
percentage. With Saturdays game i'm
terrupted by the rain it was thought
that a game would be playeo yesterday,
but for some reason this was not done.
The Saturday game will probably be
played Wednesday. This can be done
easily, us owing to the bad condition in
which several OF the Wheeling players
find themselves, the exhibition games
at Beaver Falls and New Castle, booked
for Thursday and Friday, have
been declared off in order
that the boys may have
chance to get hon and brace up for
next Saturdays gan here with Column
bus. Saturday Jack Crogan was signed
by the Wheeling management and sent
out to Canton. He will probably play
right field, and tl,at will give Ben
Stephens the bouEce. There are some
who doubt the wisdom Of this. Stephens
bats about as well as any OF them, and
as IN extra pitcher TO be called in at
times OF emergency is first-class.

In one OF the games at Jackson last
week, Bottenus, Toledo's second base
man, was fined $50 by Umpire McDer-
mott for making n short speech about
the very rank umpiring MCDermott was

tlicted by any umpire in the League.
Umpire Ben F. Young has sent in his

He throws up a $50 per month position

ANOTHER PRESIDENTIAL BOOM.
senator Hfscock and His Friends quietly

NosInE Around.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, June lo-Friends
who have the confidence OF Senator His
cock have been looking mighty wise all
this week. The Senator came home
from Washington on Tuesday, and re-
manned to make a speech at the dedica-
ton OF new building for the Syracuse
University on Wednesday, but he was
not down on the programme, and only
came forward on being called for, this
appearance gave him fine excuse for
being absent from the Senate.
The truth is he was in Syracuse to
give little personal attention TO his
boom for the Republican nomination
for President. Agents representing his
interest were Immediately started to
sound the delegates touching the taking
up Of hisname. State Senator Hendricks
and Clerk Of the Senate Kenyon went
away in different directions early in the
week on the secret, mission. =. Senator
Hendricks is believed to have visited
Connecticut and New Jersey, a. well as
the eastern end Of the State, TO see what
could be done In the direction Of Eforni-
ing combination Of tile three doubtful
States on HiscoCk.
This action on the part OF Senator His
cock and his friends Is taken to mean
