BISMARCK sTILL SORE.

He Points Out Gross Mistakes of the
German Government.
PARIS, Aug, 5.-The visit of the French
fleet to Cronstadt and the enthusiastic re =
oeption accorded the French officers by all
classes OF Russian society" from the car
downward has, as is we'll known, been
made the subject OF much public and pri-
vate comment. As to the actual status Of
tho relations between Russia and France,
and as to the probable effect of the offensive
and defensive alliance between the two ma
tions, the newspapers have published many
letters on the subject, but a letter which
appears to-day. If written by the alleged
author, is likely to cause the subject to be
discussed at still greater length.
BISMARCK THE ALLEGED AUTHOR
The Figaro of this city has in its columns
to-day letter alleged to have been written
by Prince Bismarck TO a Russian leader OF
the German party In st. Petersburg His let
tor makes the German ex-chancellor declare
that the visit of the French squadron to
Cronstadt would not have occurred had he
remained in power. The visit, the letter
says, was the result OF three gross mistakes
of German diplomacy.
WHAT THE MISTAKES ARE.
The first mistake was the visit of Empress
Frederick to Paris; the second was the re-
newal of the triple alliance, which was
diyulged with such eagerEess by Emperor
William, and the third was the emperor's
noisy visit to London.

erately shot him after demanding his

yesterday. His remains were placed in hand

Mortgage in South Carolina.
CHARLESTON. 8. c., Aug. 5.-The big
gest railroad deal of the century has just
developed here. A. B. Morton, vice presi-
dent Of the Cincinnati and Cape Fear Rail
road Company, who was here last week, has
recorded In Berkeley county Il mortgage for
$4,000 on the property of that road.
Ihe project is to run a road from Norfolk
10 Charleston east of the Atlantic coast line,
entering the city on bridge across the
Cooper river, crossing Ashley river and go
ing down to Savannah. The company
now controls the line built from Norfolk TO
Southport, n. G., and is engaged in con-
struoting a line from Southport to Conway,
:. G. From there the road will be e1-
tended via Georgetown down to Charles
ton. The company has purchased the

just x cents apiece. He felicltated the
party on its successes in Nebraska, Iowa
and other states and urged them 70 stronger
efforts in Ohio than were ever put forth
anywhere, promising that they will sur
prise themselves with the result.
o. w. Jones, of Butler, Kan, sang the
song "Old Hayseed," and another of his
own composition, much to the amusement
OF the delegates.
CONGRESSMAN OTIS TALKS.
The chairman introduced Congressman
elect C. Otis of Kansas, who gave history
ofhis campaign inthe Fourth district of Kan
sas, and announced that he had received a
telegram announcing that his late republican
opponent had been converted and is now Il
full hedged Peoples party man. His prin-
cipal theme was the state affairs in Kansas
for the last two decades, during which the
farmers, who have been the princi-
pal producers, have not been receiving
their share of the proceeds OF their prod
ucts. The Cincinnati platform, he said, is
the hope of Kansas for tue delivery from
the forces which have been opposing her,
and they will stick by it to man.

WRESTLING WITH A PLATFORM.
The committee on resolutions has been
wrestling with platform since this af-
tesnoon, and adjourned until tomorrow
morning without having reached
conclusion. The sticking
points are prohibition, the
land tax and the farm product loan feat
lures. The prospects are that the commit

thousands of votes. and they will 6ght 1t to

The Bands ONE Reception Due to Eng
lands Support of tie Dreibur d.
PARIS, Aug. 5-M. Lockroy, in an in
terview to-day, said he had no doubt that
the handsome reception of the French feet
at Croustadt. if not the visit itself. was due
to England's support of the
dreibund. While France was iso4
lated he said, there was
strong temptation for the masterful and
capricious German emperor to plunge Ger
many into war. The Tdpprochement be-
tween France and Russia removed that
danger France, however. had manly her
self TO blame, her obstinacy in the policy
in Egyptian and Newfoundland questions
throwing England into the arms of
Germany and the dreibund. After the
initial mistake she ought to have accepted
the situation in Egypt. and in regard to
newfoundland she ought TO have modified
the recent treaty.

TREASURER V.N-
CENT.
The Governor Asked to Pardon Him
Because of III Health.


Because of III Health.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Aug. 5.-Pending
the consideration of the petition of J. H.
Vincent, the defaulsing state treasurer, for
parton, Gov. Jones has appointed two emf
nent physicians TO examine him. In answer
to the specific questions from the gov
ernor, the physicians say Vincent
might, under favorable circumstances, live
out the balance of his term of service of
about five years. They find him in family
and In personal history showing a strong
tendency to consumption. He has fibriuous
consumption of one lung. His health is
better than it was a few months ago, which
physicians attribute entirely to change in
surrounding, he having bsen removed from
the prison to the hospital. They also report
that II again returned to prison life and
fare, or If any exposure or change
Of weather should bring on acute
Inflammation of his lungs, his
consumption would again in
crease and probably prove fatal. At best
they consider him feeble man, and with
miserable family record as to consumption.
There are petitions from every county in the
state, with thousands OF signatures thereto,
asking for his pardon, but the governor has,
so far, given no indication or what he will
