HONARCHS TO MEET
An Event of the Most Mo-

DISCUSSING EURoPE's FUTURE.
The Crushing of France the Object O
 the Kaiser's Visit.

Engllshmon Anxious About King VIII
 IIamAS Conference With the Cx .r-Rus-
 sIa's Chancellor Will Stand In the Way.
 of German Advancement fin the DIreC-
 tion ,Of Paris.
 LONDON. Aug. 16.-Within a few hours the German Kaiser will be stimulating the role of the friendly critic, as his Imperial brother, the Czar, deploys be- fore him the vast hosts of the Russian army. Before the last Cossack shall have finished the depression in salute of his lanoe's point in the march past, at least four men will know what the near future has in store for Europe. Chancellor Won Caprivi and his master will have it, either brusquely and di- reotly or evasively and diplom at cally, from NJ. de Giers and his master whether it is the will of the Russian sutocrRt that his country should re- main impassive while the armies of the triple alliance pass over the Alps and across the Rhine to attempt the over- throw of the Republic and the elimina- tiOn of France as a potentiality in European political affairs.
 Not even the most sanguine of British Russophobists really believes that an offer from Germany to permit Russia 70 do in Armenia what she can do just ns readily without such permission, will induce the astute De Giers to con- sent to the crushing of France, the conse luent elevation of Germany to the pinnacle of undisputed power in Europe, and the virtual reduction of the nations of Western Europe to the condition of German auxilliaries.
 That the meeting is an event of the most momentous importance is nowhere not even in Paris or Berlin-bet ter understood than in London. English >.eH of habits of reflection and obser- : tion we'll know that the rifle dis
 ...lrged on the Danube or the Rhine ,.hy carry 8 bullet straight to the A. art of their Indian Empire. This
 "-'ught comes to them with redoubled
 orce now that it is on all sides accepted fact that the outcome of the recent visit to our shores of the Emperor has pren the binding of England to the fortunes of the triple alliance, whether t..ose fortunes be for good or evil.
 Should the allies fall apart, or should they encounter disaster in the almost inevitable appeal to the arbitrament of arms. Englishmen of the class men tioned feel that just as surely as the French would be permitted to work out their beloved plans of revenge on Germany. just us certainly would Rus sia be allowed to march to the Medi- terrunean in one direction and to the Indian frontier of Afghanistan in another. These same men see no com pensatiug advantages for these great risks in the elevation of German Elm peror to a European dictatorship.

 BLooMsBURa, PA., Aug. 19.-A shock. ing tragedy occurred As Danville last night, the details of which have just reached here. The reports as far as re. ceived to not say that the principals oi the affair were killed instantly, but subsequent developments show that their wounds are fatal. The names of the victims are Frank Schuraski and Patrick Monohan. John Mininies, who committed the crime, is now in jail awaiting a hearing. Public opinion is in sympathy with the prisoner, as evil dence as far as can be learned show he committed the deed while resenting an insult to his wife.
 Schuraski and Monahan went to Min inies' house during the night under the influence of liquor. After reaching 1t aome noise was made which attracted the attention of Mininies, who ap- peared in the door with 6 lamp in his hand followed by his wife. One of the men told her to go in and mind her own business. but this she declined to do, at the same time making retort, but before 1t was finished, the lamp which her husband held was grabbed and thrown across the room in the di- rection the woman was stan ding.
 Mininies at once became furious, and seizing an axe slashed right and left with terrible effect. The light was now extinguishsd and @ terrible strug gle ensued. Mrs. Mininies was knocked to the floor senseless, where she was found when the rescuers arrived. Min inies was also overcome by blow on the head, but soon rallied. Monahsn was found on the step with his skull split, a deep gash was cut in his shoul- der and other wise bruised. His com panion, Schuraski, was found in the house, where he had been knocked by a blow in the forehead, which was split clear across. Neither of the men can recover.

MRS. GRANTS WISH.
General Grants Tomb IH ut the DIspcAa,
 of the PeopI-.

of the PcopI.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Congressmar John Quinn received from U. $. Grant, Jr., @ reply to his letter to the widow of General Grant, requesting that sht state her wishes regarding the pro posed removal of the great warrior's remains to Arlington National Come. tery here. It is dated Salem Centre, Westchester County, August 15, and it as follows:
 "DEAR SIR-At Mrs. Grants request have the honor of replying to your courteous letter of August Il, asking for an expression of her wishes in re. lation to the removal of General Grant'a remains to the vicinity of Washington, as proposed in the concurrent resolu. tion offered by Senator Plumb.
 "At time when Mrs. Grant was with Colonel Grant he wrote letter for publication, with the intention of saving her, ii possible, from the affect ing annoyance of being interviewed by the newspapers on the subject. in which he expressed her views and the views of the family in regard to this. In that letter Colonel Grant said in substance that such a removal rested with Congress, and not with General Grants family. If the people, by act of Congress, choose to remove General Grants remains to or near Washing ton, Mrs. Grant will refuse her con sent only in case no provision be made for her family resting by his side. This she wishes to emphasize.
 ''She will be glad to see a monument begun, at least, which will mark the last resting place of her husband.
 "Very respectfully yours,
 "U. s. GRANT, JR."
 Mir. Quinn intends, if possible, to hold the Plumb resolution In committee until the New York delegation shall determine whether or not it will fight the plan to abandon the tomb at River side. A meeting will probably be called wit hin a day or two.

ChIId at Boston.
 BOSTON, Aug. 1S.-Little Carmen CAmpAnari, the seven-yeAr-old daugh- ter of Sig. Giuseppe Campanari, the we'll known singer and violinist, met death in the yard of the Hotel Putnam under most distressing circumstances, the facts of which did not become known to tho police until yesterday.
 At one end of the yard is an exoava- tion of about by 10 feet and 8 feet in depth, which is constantly filled with hot water from the escape-pipe of the engine which runs the elevator. The waste water was formerly conducted to the sewer by means of cesspool. but the latter becoming stopped up several months ago, 1t is said, the proprietor of the building had the excavation made to hold the escaping hot water. The hole thus became a miniature lake, with the water always at a scalding temperature and from which a cloud of steam constantly arose.
 The action of the water has under mined the earth about the edge, and when the child, who was playing in the yard with her sister Genie, stepped to the edge of the pool it caved in and submerged her up to her neck. She died at 2 o'clock in the evening, after hours of terrible suffering.
 The occupants of the building say the steaming pool has been a nuisance as we'll as a menace to! life for nearly three months. Louis H. Brown, owner of the property. left town in haste to-day, fearing arrest for orimins l negligence.
