Germany Bismarck's Vigorous
Speech.
PARIS, May l9.-The banquet given in
honor of the cabinet on Saturday by the
delegates Of the American republics taking
part in the exhibition seemed to be a
demonstration of the republics against the
monarchies. All the European ambassa-
dors were invited to attend the banquet,
but with the exception of the Belgian min
ister, who was present, they consulted their
governments and were ordered to ignore
the invitation. The Brazilian minister also
held aloof
Mr.. McLane, who presided at the banquet,
was supported by Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, the
new United States minister to France.

Bismarck's Vigorous Speech in the
Reichstag.

BERLIN, May 19-Prince Bismarck's
speech in the Reichstag on Saturday was IN
his old broadsword style. He compared
the socialists to the French-rsady to strike
whenever they became strong enough. He
referred TO the rashness Of the Reichstag in
admitting Alsatians as members, aud said :
I'VE did not fight the French in order to
have ourselves inoculated with fourteen
Frenchmen."
"The scenen in the Reichstag yesterday
between Prince Bismarck and Herr Richter
is the sole topic of conversation in political
circles here. In consequence Of Prince
Bismarck's remarks the liberals have re-
solved not to attend the fruinschopper to
be given by the chancellor. When
Herr Richter uttered the exclamation
which aroused the wrath Of the chan
cellor the latter, turning angrily toward
the liberal members, and, pointing his
finger at them, said: 81 do noJ know what
lie refers to, but regard 1t as an expression
of the hatred you gentlemen have borne me
for yea S. As a christian | can pocket it,
but as chancellor, as long as | stand here, |
will strike a striker aud insult an insulter.

Has James Gordon Bennett Gone to

Khartoum7
New YoRK, May 1S-New York news
paperdom and the great clubs are excited
over the latest news from Europe, that
James Gordon Bennett, the eccentric pro-
prietor of the New York Herald has gone
to Khartoum, the capitol Of tho Mahdi
He left Paris three weeks ngo, went to Mar
seilles then TO Alexandria, and this week
is in Cairo. Two stories haye been cabled
over in explanation OF this singular jour-
ney. One is that at the Club MeretOn in
Paris one night an organization which re-
ssmbles the famous Eccentric Club Of Jules
Verne in the character Of many of its m m
bers, an officer who had seen service in the
Egyptian army said that it was impossible
for any foreigner 10 enter Khartoum and
depart alive. A discussion arose in which
we're cited the many Instances Of clever
Europeans who rad disguised themselves.
and in this garb penetrated the most iutOl-
Grant and fanatic cities Of the Moslem
world. II eliminated when Bennett, who
was taking an active part In the conversation
declared that any one possessing sufficient
brains and money could visit the Ma adj
aud return unscsthed and offered heavy
wager that he could himself do it within
the period " six months. The bet was
promptly accepted and Bennett accom-
with upon the hazardous journey.
The ether story is far more startling. On
the evening in question at the club mem
toned, Bennett received long dispatch
from Cairo correspondent stating that he
had Just received visit from an envoy of
the Mahdi, with important news regard
ing Chinese Gordon and that the
latter was still alive and kept
close prisoner; that the new
Mahdi by reason Of bis reverse on Kordofan
aud the Bahr.al-Ghazll and his loss Of the
great province Of Darfur, was willing to
ransom Gordon for 900 900 Francs The
next few days Bennett made all arrange.
msuts for the trip aud for the payment Of
the vast sum mentioned, and with an in
innate friend set out for Egypt
But little could be learned IN New York
in confirmation Of the story. An editor Of
tho Herald stated that cablegrams from
Bennett had been received from Marseill0s,
Alexandria and Cairo, but that nothing
was known In the Office about his prosp0ct.

New York, May 19.-The Base Ball
Brotherhood held its annual spring meeting
at the Fifth Avenue hotel to-day. Dele
gates to the meeting were present from all
the national league clubs. The session
lasted from 1l:30 O'Clock a. N. till 7:3O
O'Clock p. M, but little actual work was
done on side Of the routine business.
Ward Will be reelected president and
Keefe secretary and treasurer. The only
contest is over the vice presidency, for
which both Brouthers and Myers are candi-
dates, Finance, grievance and relief com
mittees were appointed, and Treasurer
Keefe reported that the financial depart
ment Of the organization was in fine condi-
ton. All the Cleveland PLAYERS have be-
come membe of the brotherhood.
BOYLE HAS A GRIEVANCE
Boyle, the indianapolis pitcher, was the
only person TO present a grievance. He
claimed that he had been severely treated
by his club last season, alleging that the club
not only refused to pay him his salary while
he was sick but that he was fined 800 for
being sick. The brotherhood propose to
have the fine returned. Those VINO have
predicted sensational features and a strike
will be disappointed. The players dis
cussed the classification rule question, but
no definite action was agreed upon. The
players are opposed to the rule, but there is
not much chance Of ordering strike when
the Objectionable features can be removed

How, as q Lad, He was Abducted and
Dressed in Girls Clothing.

from te tNitudttDhtd fftSS,
BosToN. MASS, May l6.-The childhood
Of the late Allen Thorndike Rice, minister
to Russia. was marked by an exciting Cpl
sode that is only known TO a few here in
Boston. When he was a lad Of 9 years his
parents separated aud each sought posses
sion Of the child. His mother belonged to
a very wealthy family, her mother possess
ing then that very great fortune which Mr..
Rice afterward mh rted.
Miss Bourne falling in love with Henry
g. Rice, rising young business man of
Boston, was married 20 him about lS5Q, and
by their union was born Allen Thurndike.
A sister of Mr.. Rice married Patrick Grant,
n prominent citizen of Boston, aud their son
was Robert Grant, the well-known author
of Confession Of II Frivol us 9irln and
other modern novels. One day while Allen
was at school at Nahant a Boston suburb,
pending the courts decision upon his pos
session by the parents. sitting side by side
with his cousin, Robert Grant, burly hack
man. black as the acc of spades, appeared
at the schoolhOuse and asked to see the bov,
as he had a message to deliver TO him. No
sooner had the youth stepped over the
threshold, however than he was bundled
into the hack and Immediately whirled away
toward Boston
The abduction was soon discovered, and
then an instant pursuit. but in vain, for the
hackmau, under orders for the mother,
gave loose roin to his horses and arrived in
the city good league ahead of his pursuers.
His horses dropped dead that night from
the over exertion.
For a day there was an entiro absence of
clew Then thread was found. The hack
man, it seems, was in reality a white man
blacked with burnt cork, aud afterwards,
in washing himself, no careessly left
smooch or two behind the ears. BY this he
was found out, was arrested fined and inn
prisoued Following up tho Glow thus gained,
the boy and his mother were traced TO
country town in Northern Vermont and Mt
last the very house was located. The officers
searched tho building from roof to cellar,
but could not find the lad. Yet he was
there all this time, carefully concealed in
an underground passage At night Mrs.
Rice and the boy slipped away to Canada.
The next heard of they were IN Island Pond
Driven TO bay again, they won't to Port
land, and there embarhng at once on
coasting vessel sailed for Richmond, Va,
from which city they took a vessel to Eng
land. A greater part of tho time Allen
was compelled to wear girls clothes as a
means Of disguise
1t was in this curious way that Alen
Thorndike Rice came TO visit Europe in his
earliest years and this adventure resulted
in his staying alb Dad until when he had
attained his ma jorlty he decided to return
to his native land. His mother, meanwhile,
had given him n splendid education in
French, German, and at Oxford, England,
whore he graduated with honors in 1873
The adventure in tho abduction incident
cost his people $30,0O0 for expenses, as no
money was spared to elude the pursuers

oRARLEsToN's COLOR LINE,
A Split in st. Phillips Church Among
the Probabilities.

CHARLESTON. S. c., May l9-The negro
bobbed up serenely again to-day in st.
Phillips Episcopal church. 1t will be re-
membered that the st. Phillips delegates
led the secession from the diocesan conven-
tion in 1887 At the convention held early
in May this year a compromise was agreed
upn BY which the sitting colored Gle gymen
were allowed to remain, but with the un-
derstanding that no others need apply.
Several Of the st. Phillips delegates ac-
cepted the compromise and returned to the
convention. The others refused to agree
and the fight was between these two fac
tions. A meeting of the congregation was
held to-day after the services, and the mat
ter was warmly discussed. Finally rsso-
luton was passed indorsing the action of the
delegates who returned to the convention,
and thus st. Philips, which is the oldest,
and, perhaps the richest parish is the do
cese, returns to ths fold after an absence of
nearly three years. The seceders, it is
thought, will secede from the parish and
join some other.
Chief Justice Fuller attended the services
at st. Phillips to-day, but, of course, did
not participate in the discussion.
