WAR RUMORS IN EUROPE.
The Feeling in New York Over
SulIivan's Arrest.
THE GERMAN EMPEROR.
The Prince of Wales All Ready to Meet
Him on His Arrival.

LONDON, Aug. 2.-According to program, the
prince of Wales left Portsmouth harbor in his
yacht, the Osborne, at 1890 to-day and pro-
ceeded outside the Solent to await the arrival
Of the emperor of Germany on board the i'm
perial yacht Hohenzollern. As the yacht
steamed out of the harbor she was saluted by
the guns on shore and on board assembled war
vessels. Shortly before the departure of the
royal yacht the German squadron was sighted
steaming slowly toward Portsmouth, and pilots
were Immediately dispatched to take charge Of
their movements. The weather at Portsmouth
is superb, the bright sunshine being tempered
by cooling breeze. Everything has been put
In readiness for the arrival of the German en-
peror, and the crowds which are constantly ar
irving by every availabls means by far surpass
in numbers the attendance which has marked
any previous spithead maneuvers. The
enormous government fiotilla and numerous
private craft as well as all available space on
shore are packed with sightseers.
When the Osborne approached near the
Hohenzollern the Prince of Wales signalled
HEARTY GREETINGS TO THE EMPEROR,
who responded in a friendly way. The two
yachts then passed through lines Of iron clads
and proceeded to Cowes. All the war vessels were
trimmed with bunting and as the yachts passed
the yards were manned by seaman. On reach
ing Cowes the emperor landed at Trinity pier,
where the Prince of Wales who had already
landed. bade him welcome.
The emperor and suite and the prince of
Wales then entered carriages, and, accom-
panied by military escort were driven to Os-
borne, where the emperor was received by the
queen. The emperor will be entertained at q
family dinner in the palace this evening The
weather remained beautiful throughout the
day.

RUSSIA'S CEREAL TRADE.
Every Wheat Corner in the United
States Makes a Russian Opportunity,

The State department is in receipt Of an
exhaustive report upon Russian agriculture
and the cereal trade from Charlton H. Way,
United States consul general to st. Peters
burg. He says the exports of cereals from
Russia in the past two years show an abnor-
NAL increase, due to three causes: first, the
enormous crops gathered from both the black
lands and the arabic prairies; second, the
depreciation OF the paper rouble; and third, the
foolish practice or systems Of CORNERS" in the
United States. s''The arabic lands of Russia in
Europe" Mr.. Way says, Excluding Poland.
cover an area of 450 square miles. The wheat
glance the area of that fertile territory, which,
with the cheap labor of Russia, will always
prove to be formidable rival, and the mer-
chants of Chicago and New York, who imagine
by cOrnering wheat that they will control the
markets of the world, can always take into
their calculations the product of this country
as an effectual checkto their operations. Every
corner engineered in the United States makes
an opportunity for Russia. Not one dollar is
added to the import of wealth in America, but
export from our country being estopped
Russia steps in and gets rid Of her surplus at
remunerative prices, but still far below the
prohibitive values established in Chicago and
New York. AS long as Russia exists any at

to pay artificial prices for American grain can
but result in absolute failure. Perhaps if this
fact were known corners would become rare

Jacob Mueller, consul general Of the
United States, at Frankfort-on-the-M Main.
under date of May "a, 1889, sends to
the State department a report on the
formation of stock companies or trusts in
Germany, which he calls ''the incorporation
fever" Mr.. Mueller says that he has always
looked distrustfully on existing affairs there.
Recent events-the gigantic strikes by which
Germany was visited-seemed to lin to prove
that their social conditions are fraught with
danger. The strikes, he says, are not revolt
utionary. but are the outgrowth Of unbearable
conditions. In Rhenish Westphalia. on terri
tory OF not more than twenty square miles,
ninety thousand people revolted at star
vation prices When the mining COM
panies were realizing better prices for
Goals than for many years past, the miners
were receiving Sl25 to SI85 year. Just now
Mr.. Mueller says Germany is showing symp-
toms of a business fever similar in MANY re-
spects to that which terminated in the crash of
1873. 1t is taking the form OF the creation of
industrial enterprises or the changing Of pri-
vate undertakings into stock companies. Mr..
Mueller believes that the separation Of en-
ployer and employed, which must result from
these changes in business, conditions win
result in the union Of the workingman and q
permanent war between them and their en-
ployers.

Lacings.

AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. News has been re-
ceived from Glen Haven, on Skaneateles lake,

tire, having dressed for ball which is a nightly
feature OF life at Glen Haven sShe had
danced a short time before making an excuse
to her friends for leaving the ball room. When

her corset. From this she had taken the lacers
and with them had made cord to hang herself.
Miss Dumont was about twenty years of age,
girl of striking lovliness Of person and charm
ing manner. Her father and mother are alive

THE BENEFIT POSTPONED.
How the Sporting Men Feel Over
Sullivan's Arrest.

NEw YORK, Aug. 2-The collosaI benefit
which was to have helped John L. Sullivan
in financial way has been indefinitely post
poned. A large number Of tickets had been
sold for the Academy of music. 1t is not
known yet what will be done. Editor
Lumley of the Illustrated Nescs said this
morning that the benefit would be given sooner
or later. Personally he knew nothing of the
the arrangements but expected to see Sullivan
back in New York in a very short time He
might be either released on bail or stand an
immediate trial and be lightly fined.
The sporting men are taking the arrest of the
big fighter very easily and do not seem to be
much exercised over the turn affairs are tax
ing. The glib deputy sheriff impressed on
their minds that Sullivan would be treated very
nicely and leniently by the southern authori-
ties. But it may turn out differently when the
champion goes up for trial,
