BURGLARS AT BAY.
What Do You Do When Your
Wife Wakes You With
q Scream,
And Then Whispers the Ter
rifying Word Burglar !"
in Your Ear?
Some Painful Instances OF
Awful Fright at False
Alarms,
And Some Decidedly Funny
Things in the Same Con-
neetion.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Did you ever nunt Tor burglars?
Did you ever go humping and poking
around IN a dark room with deadly
weapons in your hands and deadly ter
ror in your heart, or carry lamp
through musty. lonesome cellar, max
ing yourself the target for any intrud-
er's pistol, and knowing it so well that
you could already imagine a bullet
whizzing cheerily through your most
necessary vitals?
If you have ever performed this sui
cidal act at time, perhaps, when it
seemed duty to your family, you have
had no difficulty in resolving that next
time you will take your family and flee
or-call in po iceman.
You don't have any consideration for
the policeman. You don't stop to think
that he is just as likely to get shot or
Otherwise Murdered
as you are. In fact, he's good deal
more likely to. In the first place, a
burglar recognizes in him a good deal
more dangerous adversary than your
trembling self, and in the second place
he doesn't care to let the burglar get
away in case things become threatening.
Policemen are called on nearly every
week to search some ones resi-
dence where burglars are sup
posed TO be at work. Death may
lie in wait for them in any dark corner
or behind any door, but they take it as a
matter of business and go right ahead.
They're paid 10 run chances of being
shot.
An incident which illustrates the
nerve-trying nature of the polIceman's
duty when the average citizen finds
burglars in his house occurred not
so very long ago on West Sew
enth street. near Cutter. The silence
of early mOrni ng, when darkness still
dimmed the outlines of walls and
fences, was suddenly broken by several
revolver shots in quick succession, fol-
lowed by hoarSe cries of
"HeIp!" and ssPOlicer,
The wells and shots continued at short
intervals, and a policeman soon came
running up the street, rapping his club
TO call his partner as he ran. When the
policeman drew near the residence of
Charles NJ. Rothschild he saw the head
and SHOULDERS OF a man, half dressed,
protruding from an upper window. As
the policeman drew near the man in the
window fired another shot into the air
and yelled "Policew once more and
Justify.
Whats the matter, Mr. ROthschild?''
and ''Be careful when you shoot" said
the policeman, as though both sentences
were one.
.'Come in here quick. officer" was the
response. There are burglars in the
house."
''N eli, come down and let me in" said
the policeman, with some excitement,
reaching into his pistol pocket to pre-
| pare for action. Mr.. Rothsrhlid wisely

himself entitled to their advice.
Ihere were also other similar
points in dispute, but it appears that
the main issue turned upon the triple
alliance and the relations between Ger
many and Russia. This much known,
the rest can be deduced from it. There
are but two alternatives. Germany,
anxious for the status quo and confront
ed by an armed France. not less anxious
for different status, has to choose be-
tween the supporter Russia and that of
Austria and Italy.
Prince Bismarck, it appears, would
have preferred that of Russia. What is
not clear is how he would have obtained
1t. That an attempt was made in this
direction was undoubted, but no under
standing was reached, probably because
the emperor could not accept the cZar's
terms. Bismarck's policy would have
secured the immediate future, but prob
ably at the cost of a legacy of troubles
to fall at times. The emperor's plan
risks much i'll the present for the sake
OF perhaps greater future."

AMBITIOUS Ii HUNG.
China's VicerOy More Powerful
Than His Master.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-A Shanghai dis
patch says that the French are hot for
aggressive action and are only restrained
by the fear that other powers, especially
England, might Indirectly aid the
Chinese. The Russians are understood
to be behind the French in urging them
on against China. 1t is said that one
reason why Ii Hung Chang is keeping
his trained and effective army together,
instead of using it to suppress the out
break IN Danchura and China proper, is
that he has secret designs of his own
and does not wish to frighten away the
strength that might make him formid-
able factor in crisis.
LII Hung Chang is feared at Pekin, but
the palace cabai does not feel strong
enough to attempt anything against the
| powerful Viceroy, who has the best part
OF the military and naval force of the
empire at his command. His regular
| soldiers, about $4,000 in numbet, are
| trained and armed with breech-loading
! rifles and are the pick Of the Tartars in
| China, while the best part of the Chi
neSe navy, from which he has been care
| full to eliminate all foreign influences, is
devoted to his service. This is the fruit
of the Chinese system of allowing the
| vlceroyS to be virtually absolute rulers
! IN their own provinces. Ii Hung Chang,
| through his shrewdness and energy, has
become greater man than the emperor,
! and it is more than suspected that he
his eye on the Chinese throne.
Europeans are confident that Chang.
could, if he wished, have readily sup
| pressed the disturbance, and that person
al ambition is the only explanation of his
course. He has lately made himself
very accessible to foreigners and will
ing TO explain to them the situation so
far as it suits his purpose. He Is not
personally hostile to foreigners, and has
an intelligent appreciation of the
strength of the leading powers of Eu-
rope. He Is apparently anxious at pre-
sent to keep Europe from taking a hand
i'll the Chinese difficulties, which might
seriously interfere with his plans.
Another advantage over the Pekin gov
ernment is that Chang has plenty of
money at command, which Pekin has
not. Meantime it is certain that Eng
land will not consent to any hostile ac-
ton of the French against China, and
that. should France take such action,
she will have to bear the brunt of the
struggle alone, and will not be per
mitted to gain any important adYan-
tage.

majority, and as he advocates the
policy that Norway and Sweden
should each have a minister of
foreign affairs instead of one for the
two countries, there is some alarm
among English politicians and those in
terested in the triple alliance.
The British minister, in dispatch to
the foreign office, states that this policy
means a separation Of the two countries
and is playing into the hands of Russia.
Of course, the British foreign office
would have something to say to mat
ter Of this kind. England has treaties
with Sweden, and an alliance exists be-
tween Sweden, England and France.
The position is one of great moment to
England and the signatory powers Of
triple alliance, and much anxiety is felt
as to the turn which affairs may take.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The enthusiastic
reception OF Prince Bismarck in Ratze-
burg this week and the ovation given
to the ex-chancellor by the local govern
ment council attest his still great popu-
larity. Only two weeks ago the Berlin
population also gave him hearty well
come. These demonstrations Of popu-
lar favor with which the prince is ev-
Rrywhere received on making his ap-
pearance have naturally revived the
discussion regarding his retirement
from political life. Herr Bamberger,
Dne of the German leaders, in speaking
today on the subject, said:
in Germany consolidation was not
attained until the age of Bismarck, and
he is statesman whose influence dur
ing the process has been most conspic-
uous. The object was not obtained
without series of wars, of which the
natural result was the revival of the
power Of the monarchy. The parlia-
mentary method was, indeed, tried in
the assemblies of Frankfurt and Erfurt,
but it
MIserabiy Failed.
t'The success of the king of Prussia
or of Bismarck, for to either the achieve
ment may be attributed, following upon
the failure of enthusiasts for a parlia-
ment, could not but have its effect on
the constitution of the new en-
pire. A parliament was created,
but it was plainly intended to discuss.
not to govern. The executive power
was entrusted with little reserve to the
emperor. In framing the scheme
Prince Bismarck made special posi-
for himself, that or chancellor; and as
he was in every sense, except in so faI
as his achievements were due to his
own talents, the creature of the empe-
ror, the post was to be filled, not by
parliamentary choice, but according tC
the will of the sovereign.
THE system under which Bismarck
had risen so high carried in it the ne.
cessity for his fall. 1t required the ac
tive cooperation of the emperor
and the process by which Will
lam H., as young man haC
been taught the art of government by
Bismarck necessarily prepared him tC
understand the transactions, which
upon accession to the throne, required
his decision. When Prince Bismarck
was dismissed the world was astonished
for, naturally enough, the reasons were
not published. Spectators were led tC
believe that both were equally
Anxious for Power
and equally headstrOng; and that the
emperor was anxious to remove the
figure whose magnitude might seem Il
obscure his own.
1.-The real reason for the dismissal OF
Prince Bismarck was that there were
two policies. There were, of course
differences of opinion as to minor mat
ters. The chancellor held his col
leagues to be subordinate, responsible
only to himself. The emperor held
