LONDON, June 29-All signs point to an
enthusiastic reception of the German en-
peror. If there are any anarchists or so
cialists who mediate trouble they may
learn that, while, British law deals lem
iently with insults to royalty, British
mob does not, and the German emperor is
just now quite favorite in Great Britain.
In his heart the Englishman dislikes
France, while he recognizes the German
kinship, and this feeling was strongly
displayed during the Franco Prussian
war. Queen Victoria will take no part in
the public reception TO the emperor part
ly because she wishes the emperor and not
herself to be the central figure of the dis
play, and partly also because she wishes to
make the Prince of Wales prominent as
the representatives of English royalty.

Doesn't Like That sunday Visit.
The Rev. DR.. Parker, in his sermon in
the Temple yesterday, severely denounced
the selection of Sunday as the date of the
kaiser visit to the naval exhibition. The
preacher urged that it was a bad lesson for
Englishmen thus TO desecrate the Lord :
day in pursuit of secular amusement and
instruction, and that the ruler of the Ger
man empire ought to give better exam
pie. The reverend doctor alluded TO the
ample time which royal and imperial per
sOnages appeared to have for amusement
on week days.
Getting Tired of That Sort of Thing.
He thought the emperor might, without
loss to himself or his people, spare little
of such time for the occasion in question.
1t was noticed that the remarks did not
evoke any signs of earnest appreciation.
The fact is that everybody is tired of the
sensational whacking at royalty, and as
saults that might have been popular two
weeks ago-are received now with indiffer-
ence and aversion.

His Marriage Disappoints Them The
Campaign in Carlow.
LONDON, June 29.-The marriage of Par
nell and Mrs. O'Shea has made deep inn
preston in Ireland, and one generally ia
vorable to the Irish leader. The anti-Par-
nellites were noticeably disappointed when
the news came to London, as some of them
had been declaring all along that Psrnell
never would marry Mrs. O'Shea. The anti
Parnellites now declare that Parnell has
abandoned the home rule principle, and is
making the struggle in Ireland question
of one mans dictation; that Parnell will
gradually drop out of politics and devote
himself to Kitty and her fortune.
Carlow Is "A Ground Hog Case.
Parnelfs cheerfulness since his marriage
has struck all obervers. He seems to re-
gard his political prospects as greatly i'm
proved, and is arranging to push the Car
low campaign on a fresh basis. He admits
that he must win Carlow if he expects TO
carry Ireland as a whole. The district is
pretty evenly divided, and it looks like a
close fight.

New HAVEN, Conn, June 29-The theor-
les of Lieutenant Totten, who is endeavor
ing to convince people that the world will
end within the present decade, have already
had one disastrous result. Rev. Frank l.
Slavens, bright young minister who had

sizes will return to earth. He had been sta

MANCHESTER, Eng, June ga private

gineer, and the details as to the design
etc, of the new piece, are kept profound
secret until the American and continental
patents have been secured. The principle
of the gun is pneumatic, and it is claimed
that it will surpass the Zalinski gun in
range and that it will throw fifty pounds
of dynamite distance of three miles.
The new weapon, it is asserted, can be
fired twice a minute.

In a scheme to Perpetuate AlienisEi IN

BRUSSELS, June ga letter from Rome
received here says: There has been re-
ceived in Rome a memorial addressed TO
the cardinals, endeavoring to enlist their
aid in the scheme of coloniZing European
priests in the United States, by sending
with each shipload of emigrants Euro
pean priests of the same nationality as the
emigrants. The memorial boldly asserts
that the European governments must eX-
ert themselves to retain their influence over
their eiCrants to the United States
The memorial is very lengthy, making
over 1000 words. 1t traces the loss of faith
by emigrauJs to first, the danger to which
their morals are exposed during the jour
ney: second, the lack of national priests to
receive and care for the emigrants on ar
irving in the United States; third, the
pecuniary sacrifices eXacted of them in the
United States for the practice of their
religion; fourth, the public schools; fifth,
secret societies.; sixth, the lack of national
bishops
Political Character of the Move.
These six points are elaborated most
skilfully which elaboration is said to be
the work of Father Nilleneuve. The third
and sixth points are especially dwelt upon.
The field of operation is confined entirely
to the United States. The political char
acter of the movement is inadvertently
manifested by the statement that the Eu-
ropean governments can no longer regard
the matter with Indifference, and that it
is of the most Importance to them to re-
tain their influence over their people in
America. 1t insists for this purpose on
the preservation of their national Ian
guage and the formation of national So
cieties among emigrants in the United
States
