Severe Gale on the English Coast.


LONDON, Aug. 26.-Last night steam
pinnace belonging to British war yes
sci at Portsmouth was swamped in gale
and four seamen drowned. The gale on
shore swept down telegraph and telephone
wires and poles, uprooted trees and I'M
rooted houses. Dispatches from various
parts of the coast announce numerous
wrecks. Reports from all parts of Ireland
indicate the crops were badly damaged by
gales.
1t now transpires that the three seamen.
supposed to have been drowned by the cap
sizing of the pinnace, were rescued by a
boat from another war vessel. 1t is feared
there may nave been considerable loss of
life OFF the coast. Telegraph wires are
down in many sections where wrecks are
likely to occur, and no definite information
had been received. Large numbers of
yachts in the Clyde are known to have
been driven ashore.

PATRIOTIC Sons of America.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-The question
OF admitting colored members into the
Patriotic Order of Sons of America occupied
most of to-day's session. All ballots re-
suited the same, 80 for and 81 against it.
Most OF the opposition to the eliminating Of
the word ''wnite'' from the constitution
comes from the Illinois and Ohio delegates
who voted as unit against it. The sentf-
ment of the convention was strongly in
favor Of admission. The Pennsylyania
delegation has been unanimous IN the col
ored mans favor, but the arbitrary clause
in the constitution requiring a four fifths
vote TO change the constitution, enabled
the opponents of the measure to defeat it.
Some of the friends of the measure changed
their votes so as to move reconsideration.
and the question will be called up again
probably. George p. Smith was nomi-
mated for national president

BISMARCK'S MEMOIRS
Five Chapters of Them Have Been
Published.
His Historical "reminiscences are Give In Anec

OF SaXony in 1866.

LSpecialto THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch
New YORK, Aug. 26.-Prince Bismarck
has partly written his intended book and
synopsis of five chapters is printed in the
Paris papers. These chapters relate al
most exclusively to his embassy in France,
to his mission in Russia in 1866, to the
Berlin congress, and to his retirement from
work. AS far as can be judged, his his
torical "reminiscences will be given in anec-
dote form and he discusses politics and
relates events only when he is directly
concerned In them. The anecdotes are
related with his characteristic hveliness
and are made exceedingly interesting and
readable.
In regard to the war of 1856, he gives the
following curious details: Before Prussia
declared war against Austria she was
anxious to ascertain the temper of Saxony,
and for this purpose sounded her leading
men. The King of Saxony was a close
friend of the Austrian Emperor, yet not
wishing to oppose his aggressive and pow
erful neighbor, he declared that he was
neutral and intended so TO remain. But
this was not enough for Prussia. That
state argued that Saxony might at any
moment offer her hand to Austria and to
Bavaria, which latter was in itself quite
| inclined to join Austria Saxony's
neutrality made the King of Prussia
hesitate, and his already powerful
minister, Bismarck, did not ven ture on
uttering the decisive word, although the
| declaration of war was already drawn up.
Count Beust knew this and strongly en-
couraged his master the Emperor of
Austria, to resist. "Your majesty" said
he to the King of Saxony. cannot go any
| further. The Austrian Emperor may al
ready blame your neutrality as weak and
selfish, but to go farther would be worse. 1
scarcely dare say it, but anybody else in
my place would say it, it would be trea-
SON" Very good'' replied the King Of
Saxony, 81 will yield only to force"
Prince Bismarck then tells how King
William by painful effort, tut upon be-
ing shown that the very existence of his
dynasty and his country was at stake, was
induced to send the King of Saxony an
ultimatum to the effect that Prussia was
not content with neutrality; that the i'm
portance of the geographical situation OF
Saxony made neutrality resemble hostility,
and the uncertainty would hampec Prus-
sia's movements and independence OF
action. 1.-THE King" says Bismarck, y
when we had drawn up and sent off this
ultimatum, wept at the thought of the
chagrin it would cause the King of Saxony
and feeling tears escaping from my eyes
bent over my masters hand and kissed it
wetting it with tears"

states an English steamer which has ar

the German authorities at Kiel, acting
under special instructions from the impe-
rial government, will insist upon the neu-
trality of the port of Kiel being strictly
observed by the English steamship and
Gillian war vessel: in other words, will
prevent the English steamship from trans.
ferring her cargo to the Pinto while in
