SALISBURY is SHREWD.
ENGLAND GETS THE BEST OF THE
DREIBUND BARGAIN.

Great Britain to be Aided in Its Egyptian
Schemes Without Being Committed to
Armed Defense of Germany-How the
French Crisis Is Viewed.
COPYRIGHT, 1891, BY THE NEW YORK ASSOCIATED
PRESS.l
BERLIN, July 1S-Lord Salisbury's
adhesion to the Triple Alliance appears to
have been made with due regard to the pro-
lection of English interests in Egypt and
India. The conferences of the Emperor and
Herr Won Bieberstein, Prussian Minister of
State and Imperial Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, with Lord Salisbury, have
materially altered the whole course of Ger
man foreign policy. Only partial indica-
tion of the drift of the entente concluded at
Hatfield House has transpired, but enough
is known to suggest that Lord Salisbury
obtained assurances from the Emperor that
the Franco-Russian projects against Eng
lands possessions in the East will be met
with open German support of England.
A entente is thus established all around,
the arrangement aiming at an Asiatic, as
well as European, equilibrium. Diplo-
matte opinion here concurs that Lord Sails
bury has got the best of the bargain, secur-
ing positive check upon French schemes
against the Egyptian occupation and Rus
sian encroachments in India without COM
mitting England to armed Intervention in
support of Germany.
The French ministerial crisis was watched
here more with curiosity than with emotion.
1t was recollected how, Just before the
Chamber of Deputies adj djourns, maneuvering
deputies try to ring down the curtain with
a sensational squabble. The present trouble
has no genuine basis in the exceptional
treatment of French commercial travellers in
Alsace-L Lorraine. The German embassy in
Paris does not refuse to visa commercial
passports. Necessarily visa is
not granted TO men who are known to the
officials of the embassy as members of secret
political clubs in Alsace-Lorraine, or who
are suspected Of distributing revanche
badges medals and pamphlets, of which
many commercial travellers carry a stock.
In every case the refusal of visa is duly
noted and is open to the inquiry of the
French foreign Office, which knows better
than to stir an inquiry.

CoUNTERAcT1NG GERMAN DIsTRUsT.
How the Worlds Fair Commissioners Hope
to Accomplish Their Ends.


BERLIN, July 1S.-Mr. Edwards, the
American Consul General here, has invited
all the American Consuls in Germany to a
conference in this city with Herr Wermuth,
the Imperial Commissioner to the World s
Fair. The consular body will also meet
the American committee, which is now in
England. Numerous public receptions are
being arranged to be held during the pres
ence of the committee in Germany.
Mr.. Edwards hopes, through the consular
conference and public meetings, to dispel
the German misconceptions in regard to the
severity of the Mckinley bill. Consular
statistics on the operation Of the tariff will
be published in order to show that the Nc
Kinley bill is not inspired by hostility
against foreign trade, but that it is mainly
intended to encourage American manufac-
turers. Mr. Edwards proposes to facilitate
the labors of the American committee by
centralizing the sources of information con-
eerning German industries. If the commit
tee were to visit every industrial center
much time would be absorbed, with prob
ably less satisfactory results than if the in
formation were close at hand and readily ac-
cessible. The great commercial points,
such as Hamburg, Chemnitz and Frankfort,
will be visited, but by having the focus of
information here will enable much to be ac-
complished in the shortest time.

TRADES UNIONS AS LANDLORDS.
A Sky Scraper to Be Erected and Owned by
the workingmen of Chicago.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THs DIsPATcH.J
CHICAGO, July ia scheme is on foot
among the labor unions to erect sky
scraping Office building similar to that
which the Masonic fraternity now have in
course of construction, which shall serve as
labor headquarters, and the revenue of which
shall help defray the expenses of future
strikes The labor unions have a total
membership of about $4,000 men. It is
assumed that they will take stock in a
building corporation, to the extent of SO
each on an average. This will create
fund of $500, 900, and with that amount at
their disposal the projectors of the enter
prise believe they will be able to secure
location and put up building which shall
rival the best structures in the city.
The scheme has been submitted to the
various unions throughout the city and has
been generally approved. 1t has gone so
far that an architect has been retained to
prepare plans for this structure. 1t is pro-
posed to have an audience room capable of
seating about 5000 people. A building of
this kind has been erected by the Iron
Molders' Union on the West Side, and, al
though it is on much smaller scale than
the one proposed and in rather inferior
location, it is making good returns on the
capital invested.

Common Pleas Court Says 1t Must Be De-
cided by the Supreme Court.
PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-The case of
Henry H. Yard, charged with contempt of
court in not appearing before the City
Councils Committee of Investigation, was
again before the Common Pleas Court to-
day, but was not finally disposed of. The
decision of the case hinged on whether or
not the writ of certiorari taken out by
Yards attorney was a supersedeas and
stayed further proceedings in the lower
court.
After hearing the argument, Judge AIli-
son announced that it was not in the power
of the Common Pleas Court to decide
whether or not the writ of certiorari was in
tended as a supersedeas by the Supreme
Court, by whom it was issued, and in the
meantime Yard would be held under s., 900
bail until the Supreme Court should decide
if the Court of Common Pleas could,
under the circumstances, commit him for
contempt

THE CzAR NOT ATTACKED.
How the False Rumor of a Murderous
Assault Originated.

dbbdIIIU
BERLIN, July 18.-The latest rumor re-
garding attempts upon the life of the Gar,
which rumor causes momentary terror in
st. Petersburg, was that an officer had tried
TO murder the Gar with anax
The report arose from the fact that the
Gar was amusing himself in forest chop
ping trees, when the head of the ak few off
and struck an attendant in the face and
wounded him. The Gar went to the as
sistance of the wounded man and got some
blood on his hands and clothes An officer
of the guard approached them, and thought
that the Gar was in danger He called
upon some soldiers to rescue His Majesty,
and before an explanation could be made
the wounded attendant was cut down by the
over-zealous soldiery The Gar caused the
officer to be punished for his action.

LONDON, July 1S.-The police do not
take any stock in the theory that George
Parker, the New York sporting man who was
found dead in his bed, with abullet through
his heart, Thursday morning, was murdered,
but pronounce the case a simple one of sui
eide. This theory is borne out by the state
ment of Mrs. Hamilton, his former mistress,
to whom he wrote to Paris on Monday that
if she did not return to him in London he
would kill himself She arrived the even
ing of the day the body was found. The in
quest will be held on Monday.

OWNED A SLICE OF STAFFORD.
Eccentric Benjamin UGord, Whose
Funeral Took Place Yesterday At

Eccentric Benjamin UHord, Whose
Funeral Took Place Yesterday At
ternoOn.
BRIDGEPORT, April 16.-The funeral of
the late Benjamin Ufford, whose dead body
was found at his home in Stratford early
Tuesday morning, took place from his res
idence on School street at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. Rev. Mr.. Ives of the Stratford
Congregational church oficiated.
Ufford's nephew and only heir, John
Dayton of New York, arrived in Stratford
yesterday and completed the arrangements
for the funeral. With the property he
will probably acquire from the dead mans
estate, added to his own, Dayton will be
the sole owner of the entire business por-
ton of the village. Ufford was always
disinclined to part with any of his real es-
tate holdings, and for this reason some of
the business men of the town have talked
of getting under way movement to change
the present business quarter to other loca-
tions where purchases of land could be
made at reasonable figures. No PROPOSE
ton, however, was ever carried into effect.
1t is believed that Mr.. Dayton has not the
same disposition as that shown by his I'M
Gle to retain the title to any reality which
came into his ownership.
