THE STATUE OF THE REPUBLIC.
1t is Decorated by the American Work.
men In Paris.

PARIS, Aug. A.-The Scripps expedition Of
American workingmen attracted q large crowd
and caused great enthusiasm in the Marks
square yesterday by placing beautiful wreath
upon the statue Of the Republic. The token
was four feet in diameter and composed Of
China asters and stocks fastened with the
French and United States colors. NJ Rosseau
Of the French committee, in attendance upon
the American workingmen's expedition, intro
duced Mr.. Hugh Cavanagh Of Ohio, who repre-
sents shoemaking, to the 5000 citizens assem-
bled about the statue. Mr.. Cavanagh said he
stood in the presence of a statue second only
to the Liberty in the United States. 1t
called to mind the great sculptor of
France who had given the latter to
us and also called to mind the part which the
chivalrous French took in giving to the United
States the liberty it enjoys. 1t was fitting that
American workers should make this, their first
public act, on French soil. Mr. Cavanagh's
speech was heartily applauded. NJ. Livenais,
also OF the attending committee, made q short
speech. He said the French people were
charmed that the people of the great sister
Aperican republic should pay this honor to the
statue Of France. He hoped that the two peo-
pies would grow nearer and closer together. M.
Livenais' remarks we're greeted with applause,
which was followed by three rousing cheers.
The ceremonies were preceded and succeeded
by drives about the city. The expedition also
gave dinner at the Grand hotel to the MEM
bers OF the French committee.

GERMAN LABOR TROUBLES.
How Prince Bismarck Proposes to Pre-.
vent Strikes.

LONDON, Aug. lA-The existing labor trou-
bles In Germany, which Affect 10 greater or
less extent every important industry in the
empire, are giving much concern 70 German
statesmen and economists. In every manu-
featuring center labor and capital are at swords
points, and for every strike that is settled two
fresh ones are announced Prince Bismarck
has been studying the question, and according
to his organ, the North German Gdzette he has
struck q solution in every way
CHARACTERISTIC o. THE IRON CHANCELLOR
He has formulated q measure which il en-
acted into law will either settle the labor ques-
tion or, what is far more likely, necessitate the
building Of dozen prisons for every one that
EXISTS now, and II It does not, at the same time,
furnish bloody work for his million bayonets
the German workman is . more docile creature
than he Is generally given credit for-a drastic
measure for the punishment of breach of con-
tract on the part of employees. This is Prince
Bismarck's statesmanship,. and such is his
answer to the bitter walls that rise from every
workshop in Germany today. He virtually
says to employers, 'You see to it that your
workmen make an agreement with you and
will look to its enforcement" With such Law
carried out, strikes, Of course, would be i'm
possible, and the question which Germany is
asking itself today is, can 1t be carried out?
PREPARATIONS ARE BEING MADE AT OSBORNE

visit to her mother, Queen Victoria. The

company their mother to England, and their

dispatch from Constantinople this morning
reports the finding of the dead body Of a man
near the summit OF the lower peak Of Mount
olympus. where Mr.. Mac MILAN, the well-known
London publisher, SO nysteriously disappeared
q month ago while making the ascent Of the
mountain. The man whose body was found
had evidently been robbed and then thrown
over the steep declivity in the mountain, at
the foot OF which he was found. II is presumed
that this is the body of the missing publisher,
but as the robbers left nothing by which il
could be identified, the corpse awaits the re-
turn OF Mr.. MacMillans friends who are still
continuing the search for the missing man, but

The Christian Buddha.

The Department of State has received from
the legation at Pekin, China, an account of the
death of the Rev. J. Crossett, an American
missionary, in China, and who died recently
in that country. His career appears to have
been remarkable one. He died on the
steamer FL Dorado en- route from Shanghai to
Tientsin on the 21st Of last June. He leaves a
widow at Sohuylersviile, NY. In speaking Of
Mr.. Crossstt Minister Dsnby SAYS: "Nr. Cros-
setts life was devoted to doing good to the
poorest classes Of Chinese. He had charge Of
winter refuge for the poor at Pekin during
sevsrAl winters. He would go out on the
streets the coolest nights and pick up destitute
bessArs and convey them to the refuge, where
he provided them with food. He also buried
thep at his own expense. He visited all the
prisons and often procured the privilege Of
removing the sick to his refuge. The ofnciais
had implicit confidence in him and allowed
him to visit at pleasure all the prisons and
charitable institutions. He was known by the
Chinese az the Christi l Buddha.'"

HE LEAVES BAR HARBOR.


BANGOR, Me-, Aug. l4-President Harrison
left Bxr Harbor in uncomfortable weather.
The skies have smiled upon him during almost
the whole Of his visit to his Secretary Of State,
but when he arose at Stanwood this morning
he looked out upon the gray chilly wet day.
The rain kept pattering down as he ate break
fast with his friends and prepared for the one
mile drive to che wharf, but when he took .
seat In . clssed carriage it had almost stopped.
From the carriage to the wharf be escorted
Mrs. Hale and held an umbrella over her head
and his own. Closely following him were
Secretary Blaine, Secretary Tracy, Senator
Hale, Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge, Private Secre-
tary Halford, Mr.. Harold N. Sewall Of Samoan
fame, who is escorting the President to his
mAnding the U.S.a. Dispatch; Mr.. Aulick

Gurnee. Walker Blaine, who was to have
formed one Of the party as far ~ New York, ex-
ercising supervision over the travelling arrange
ments, did not come to the wharf. Last even
ing he sustained bruise near the eye by a
blackboard accident. His physicians thoughts .
Little rest would be good for him. On the
whaff stood half q hundred spectators. The
President went directly to the main saloon Of
the boat-the Sappho, Capt Oliver-and there
parting greetings were exchanged between him
and Secretary Blaine, also with Mr.. W. s.
Gurnee.
THE CROWD WAVED IT'S GOOD BYE
and the President was once more on the water
and had fairly begun his trip toward Washing
ton. 1t was just raw enough on the water
to make everybody want to stay in
doors and the President set in the main saloon
during the half hours trip. Hancock point
was reached about 9:15 and five minutes later
the party was seated in the vestibule parlor
cars in which it had travelled from
Boston. The Presidents surroundings were Of
the most comfortable kind. The parlor cars,
with all modern conveniences, we're decorated
were birch-bark canoes laden with flowers.
The locomotive was trimmed with flowers
and bunting. A stop for minute was made at
Ellsworth, the home Of Senator Hale, and the
President jumped to the platform and assisted
Mrs. Hale to alight. A parting word and the
train was of, making no stop until it reached
Bangor at about 1885 am
