IMPERIAL PLOTTING.
The Kaiser Charged With Intriguing for .
Throne.

Throne.
LONDON. Feb. ia Berlin dispatch saws
that the kaiser ID accused, although not openly,
of intriguing to put his brother-in-law. Prince
Adolphns of schaumborg-Lippe,o on the throne
Of the important principality Of Lippe-Det-
mold, whose ruling prince is likely to die soon
without direct heirs and leaving only an insane
brother, Alexander, and two sisters, who have
sought the seclusion of convents. Adolphus il
In one OF the lines of succession, but remote
one, and in his own family he is a younger son
without fortune or prospects except as
prince Of Lippe-Detmold is about sixty
seven years of age and suffering from
severe illness. The aspirants for his
throne are already active and the imperial party
may have to be appealed 70 in order to settle
the disputes. and this would give the kaiser his
opportunity to forward the interests of Adolf
plus and put his sister Victoria on tho throne
Of a German state.
The kaiser, however, is not having bis way
altogether in Germany, as shown in the Grand
Duchy OF Mecklenburgh-Steritz, where the
veteran grand duke refuses to pay any atten-
ton whatever to the emperor and carefully re-
Trained from doing him honor, having taken no
part in honoring the emperors birthday and
having since declined all Invitations to the i'm
perial court. As tho grand duchess is a mem
Der OF the Anglo Hanoverian royal family it 10
possible that the grand dukes course is in
spfred by a recollection Of Prussia's suppress
sion of Hanoyer:an ROYALTY.
In the reichstag also the kaiser and his chan
cellor find that Prince Bismarck has friends
and admirers. and one of them, Herr Arendt
loses no pretext to praise the former chancellor
and reflect causticaily on the kaiser's policy.

tariff, the silver and other bills. When
Owenbey was brought here under arrest Mr..
Holmes, the sergealit-at-arms, met wit
ness about the House and asked

for weeks before he went with the sergeant-at-
arms and saw Owenbey in the presence of q
number Of Congressman.

similar agreements with nearly all the nations

negotiations are expected.
The figures prepared for the State Depart

ton for some time. and estimates have been
durable concerning the Venezuelan trade

OF Venezuela is not SO large that of
Brazil. the United States have for several years
enjoyed a much larger proportion OF the i'm
porting business than any other nation dealing

about $780, 900 worth of cloths. S400 900 worth
OF manufactures of iron and steel and more

600 worth of hides and skins and $780, 900 worth
of other articles. The imports had increased
from about G., DOC. 600 in 1870 to more than

BosToN, Feb. 1.-THE elimination of a scan
DIAL that has agitated West Roxbury for weeks
and has been given much pubtcity in loca
newspapers was reached last night when the
South Evangelical Church of West Roxbnry
formally suspended from fellowship H. W.
French, q well-known lecturer who has been a
member a number of years. The charge which
has resulted in French's dismissal was SUBJ
stantially that French wrote a letter in Novem-
Der last stating that Miss Helen +. Smith, of
the same church, was his wife and had sus-
tanned that relation six months when she was
forced to leave him through the luminosity of
her parents.
Miss Smith denied French's claims in toto.
The church committee find that such state.
ment as French made, If true. implied con-
duct on his part both illegal and scsnda!ous;
and If not true was adopted and seemed to DO
intended to ruin the ladys reputation and
good name. Both parties move in the highest

WHY NEGOTIATIONS FAILED.
Mr.. Gladstone Would Not Surrender tn
Right Of Imperial Veto.


LosDoS, Feb. 1.-The rupture Of negotia-

causes. Mr.. Gladstone would not consent to
home rule plan that would leave the Irish par
Lament independent Of a veto by the imperial
parliament. He would not consent to give any
pledge whatever in writing, as he looked upon
the proposition as insulting. On the other
hand the Mccarthy faction could not hold its
own members to any terms Of settlement,
Timothy Healy protesting that he would be
content with nothing short OF the final ex-
tinguishing of Parnell.
Parnen goes right on, apparently not guild
ing his conduct by any thought of settlement.
and outspoken as ever in his contempt Of the
English liberal leaders, who, he avers, are
obliged to grant home rule or see the tories re-
main in power. Mr.. Gladstone's remark to the
Australian labor delegate. Fitzgerald. that,
after the next election. labor would be the
question Of the day. is construed as meaning
that, in Mr.. Gladstone's opinion, home rule is
certain to triumph and be ont of the way.

LA GAsCOGNE's ROUGH TRIP,
1t Was the Worst Passage the Vessel Eve
Had.

- We WHO s'Shss oe~oSc tue SooseA EVER
Had.
NEW YoBK, Feb. lila Gascogne from
Havre arrived here this morning. Her captain
attests that it was the worst trip he ever expe-
rienced. From the time the steamer left Havre
she was knocked about by storms, some of them
amounting to a hurricane in violence. In mid
ocean the steamship had to lay to for forty
hours, it being impossible for her to make head
way against the high seas and westerly gale.
Her decks were swept by the seas from stem to
stern, and everything in the shape of loose
spars. ropes and gratings were carried away.
Part Of the time 1t was 30 rough and the big
steamship pitched and rolled so badly that the
passengers were compelled to keep in their
berths. The steerage passengers were the
worst sufferers, many of them receiving bruises
by being thrown against the partitions.

beings and large number of flint tools were
unearthed.
