Emperor william Thinks These Nations
VIII Preserve European Peace.
LONDON, August THE Prince OF
Wales gave dinner to Emperor William
and Prince Henry, of the Royal Yacht
squadron, to-day. The Prince warmly
toasted the Emperor and said he trusted
that the influence of the great German army
and of the British feet would tend toward
the preservation of the peace of the world.
The Emperor, in reply, spoke in terms of
high praises of the British feet, which he
said was the finest in the world. Germany,
he said, mad an army equal to her wants,
and if England had feet equal to her
wants, Europe would regard them as the
most important factor in the preservation of
peace. Prince Henry also spoke in terms
of praise of the British feet.
Emperor William returned this evening
to Osborne, where the Queen gave fare
we'll banquet, at which the members of the
royal family and the Emperor's staff were
present Tomorrow the Queen will review
the men OF the German squadron within the
grounds of the Osborne House. In the
evening the Emperor boards the German
imperial yacht Hohenzollern. He will
leave England at an early hour on Friday
morning.

Hog Cholera Can Only be Prevented by n
Rigid DETERMINATION.
WASHIN GToN, August TN December,
1888. Commissioner of Agriculture Coleman
appointed special commission for the in
vestigation of epidemic or rather epizootic
diseases of swine. The commission has just
completed their report to Secretary Rusk,
and the following are among the conclusions
of the commission.
1t Is the opinion of the commission that there
are at least two widespread epidemic dis
eases OF hogs in this country, viz:
"hog cholera" and Swine plague" In
the opinion of the commission, the epi-
demic disease of swine investigated by Drs.
Billings and Roberts in Nebraska, however
ton, Is identical ip its specific cause with the
disease investigated by the Bureau Of Animal
Industry of Washington, and called by the lat
ter "hog cholera" As far as our
present knowledge extends, treatment of
existing cases is futile. There remain, there
fore, to be considered but two alternative
means of preventing, quarantine and
determination of infectious hogs. Some
of the tests made in Nebraska
under the direction of DIR. Billings certainly
give promise of great possibilities in this direc
ton. In the opinion of the commission. how
ever, that an attempt to produce immunity
from "hog cholera" artifcally by the use
of the living germs of the disease either
through the stomach or through hypodermic
injection is very objectionable and involves a
serious risk of more widely extending the dis
ease, and increasing rather than diminishing
the enormous losses therefrom-

A PELICAN DEFRAUDED.
Gull Robs Him of n Fish, But Can't Keep
His Prey.

His Frey.
st. Nicholas for August
While they were stopping to overhaul a
huge pile of sea-weed, their attention was
attracted by the comical, asthmatic cries for
food made by some young pelicans from
their nest of driftwood in the mangrove
trees near by. The old birds were hard at
work, diving for fish in the lagoon. The
boys watched one, which was quite near
them, with considerable curiosity. 1t would
futter an instant over its prey, then plunge
down, and with open dip-net bill resti ng on
the water, would adjust the catch in the
capacious pouch beneath. In one of these
expeditions gull, with trained and eager eye,
hov er1ng near, settled down on Papa Peli-
cans broad hea d, and as the fish was tossed
about so as to drop into the pelican's pouch
the thievish gull would adroitly snap it up
and sail away with a derisive cha, ha!''
while the pelican, 81 if accustomed to this
sort of pocket-picking, simply tapped heav-
ilv up again to renew its search for food.
But the gull, as the boys speedily saw, had
laughed all too soon. For down upon il
from the neiehboring shore swooped a
strong-winged fish hawk. With shrill cry
of alarm the gull darted now this way and
now that, in zigzag lines, striving with all
his power to escape. Fear and fatigue pre-
vailing, he let his choice stolen morsel slip
from his grasp. Then the hawk, with q
lower swoop, clutched the falling fish and
bore it away to the nearest rock.

NEW YORK, August THE work of demol-

LONG BRANCH, N. j.. August 7.-Once
a week the Long Branch Town Commission
ers meet in their little hall over the hose
house. The gatherings are not usually
largely attended, but tonight all the seats
were taken. There was thick fringe of
ISLANDERS that extended even to the stairs.
Among the spectators were dozen or more
of the summer residents All had been at
tracted BY the rumor that the Baron de Par
donnet, an attache of the French legation,
would in open meeting prefer charges against
the gilded gambling establishment known
as the Pennsylvania Club. this year run by
Marks & Jolly, Phil Daly's feeble health
having forced him to relinquish the place.
a The Baron has been a conspicuous figure
at the West End Hotel for month and
more. He is tall, much bearded, and gay
dresser for an elderly man. He seems over
so. He claims to have lost to Marks &
jolly, since early last month, about 81, 900.
OF that amount he estimates that nearly
S400 was
LOST AT THE WHEEL.
OF that he says he does not complain, but
processes that the balance was unfairly won
from him at baccarat, though it must be ad-
mitted that his description of the alleged
swindle is hardly confirmed.
At any rate, the BaSpn has made great
noise within the past week. He has several
times demanded the return of his So. 900
from Marks & Jolly, and upon their re-
fusal to treat with him he has vowed that
he would bring complaint against the
house before the commissioners.
1t was in anticipation of seeing the Baron
at to-night's meeting that the council hall
was crowded, but he did not put in an ap-
pearance, nor was there the slightest refer
ence to his case during the proceedings,
which were largely devoted to the consid-
Grafton of sewers and scavengers.
After the adjournment one of the Com
missioners said very placidly that the board
had
RECEIVED NO INTIMATIoN,
from the Baron or any other man, that gam
bling was going on in Long Branch. At
the clubhouse, late tonight, Mr.. Marks
denied that any compromise had been
effected.
The irequenters of the place are inclined
to slight the affair. The Baron's losses
were trivial, they say. They are satisfied
that the game is honest. Baccarat was as
much in favor as it ever has been. One
close friend ct the proprietors asserted that
they held the Baron's note for various small
sums advanced, and that on the whole he
had been magnanimously treated. He had
played in poor luck and was now squealing.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCHI
BUFFALO, August In order to over
take the four events on the programme for
the second day of the Grand Circuit meet
ing, the horses were called half an hour
earlier than usual this afternoon. The
crowd came later, and by o'clock nearly
5000 people had distributed themselves
about the spacious grounds where three
times as many could be accommodated. 1t was
warmer than yesterday and the track was much
improved, so the flyers had everything favor
able for fast time. This was proven by the
performance of the crack stallion Nelson in
the Do class stake.
1t was generally conceded that Nelson would
be the victor. but no one expected to see him
reel off two heats in 2:l5 and the handsome
stallion has placed himself IN the front rank of
performing sires by his last achievement A
few weeks ago Nelson trot5ed in 2:l61l at
Boston in the third heat of race won by him
over Mystic Park and his improving form lends
him to consideration as the coming champion.
His stable companion, Aubine, was less
fortunate in the second stake, for after getting
two heats and a record below 2:20, she was un-
able to stay up with the pace set by the Boston
stallion. J. r. Shedd who out-trotted Aubine
in the last three heats and was clearly the
earnest of the party, most of the field being
very much outclas~ed. John Turner brought
Suisun out. but concluded not to start ner and
knapsack Mccarthy, after scoring Rajah few
times. drew the young California stallion.
Neither of the other two regular events were
finished, both being in an interesting state
when darkness came.
The free-foI-all pace seemed to be sure
thing for Roy Wilkes till old Gossip Jr.. col
Jared him in the third heat and snaJched the
victory for the time. After getting the fourth
heat Gossip was thought to have the race in
hand, when his old competitor, Jewett, came
along and unfinished him for the fifth heat.
The 2:20 trot which started late. was con-
ceded to Jack. hut another gray flyer had been
left out of the calculation till he showed his
form in the first heat. This was the big geld
ing Graylight by Starlight, a son of Kentucky
Prince. Getting the pole to start with, Grsylight
seta pace that left the others behind him, and he
made the first mile in 2:I715 his first mark be-
low 2:20 In the next heat he and Jack had a
duel to the death in which Graylight proved
the faster, eclIpsing his former mile by trotting
in 2161a- He seemed TO have the race won as
he led Jack till well up the home stretch in the
third heat and the Chicago flyer made a break
which seemed to settle matters. Strange to
say Graylighy did the same thing and before he
could recover Jack had got too far ahead to be
Overtaken, making the mile in 2:lS34. There
Will probably be a great battle between the
Grays to morrow. Summary:

Just at the present time?"
Nothing short of the Cronin murder, {"

LIVERPOOL, August IA great sensa-
ton was caused to-day by the jury in the
Maybrick case bringing in verdict finding
the defendant guilty OF the murder of her
husband. Judge Stephens, in his charge,
said there was strong and distressful evil
dence showing motive for ridding herself
of her husband. This could be found in her
infdelity, which had rendered it necessary
for her to enter into inextricable mazes OF
lying. He also called particular attention
to the phase, "He is sick unto DEATH" con-
tanned in her letter to Briefly.
This was terribly important in view of the
fact that on the day the letter was written
the doctors fully expected that Mr.. May
brick would recover. 1t showed there was
reason for believing that the prisoner was
desirous of being rid of her husband, in
order that she might live with her lover.
The Judge put the question to the jury
whether it:was reasonable to believe that a
loving wife would yield to her husband s
suggestion and put an unknown powder in
his food. After the verdict was received
Mrs. Maybrick was sentenced to death.
MoBBING THE JUDGE.
Thousands awaited the Judges departure
from the court and howled with rage when
he appeared. The hooting was incessant
and there were frequent cries of shame. ="
The crowd threatened 70 attack the Judge's
carriage. but the police interfered. The
feeling over the result is intense. Steps are
being taken to stay the execution, further
medical evidence having been secured.
The majority Of the London papers feebly
concur in The Maybrick verdict. The
Times holds that "there is enough on the
woman's side to make it case for the
earnest consideration of the home Office. 1t
is notable that judge, in passing a
sentence, refrained from expressing agree
ment with the verdict"
Mrs. Florence Maybrick is an American
woman about 26 years old. Her grand
father on the maternal side was Darius B.
Holbrook, a wealthy New Yorker, and one
OF the best known men of his day, who died
in 1858. while her father was at the out
break of the war Mayor OF Mobile and one
of the most prominent men OF that part of
the country. After her fathers death her
mother, at present the Baroness Won Roques,
married the Viscount du Barry, French
noDleman who held an officers commission
in the Confederate Army and was mortally
wounded in one of the battles near Charles
