"A Letter From Bismarck.

PARIS, Aug. 5.-Figaro, of this city, has
in its columns to-day letter alleged to
have beeu written by Prince Bismarck to
the Russian leader of the German party in
ST. Petersburg. This letter makes the Ger
man OK chancellor declare that the visit of
tho French squadron to Cronstadt would
not have occurred had he remained in
power. The visit, the letter says, is tho re-
ault of three gross mistakes of German
diplomacy. Tho first mistake was tho visit
of Empress Frederick TO Paris; second the
renewal of the triple alliance, which was
divulged with such eagerness by Emperoe
William, and tho thi,d was the emperor a
noisy visit to London.

Arouslng Much Interest.

BERLIN, Aug. 5.-The foreign committee
of the Chicago Columbian exhibition has
done much good in this city in arousing in
terest among officials and merchants in the
Worlds fair. The efforts of the committee
have resulted in much greater interest be-
ing taken ON all sides and a determination
that the German exhibit shall be worthy
the great nation that sends it and matter
of pride to the thousands of Germans in
the United States. After the work of the
committee is finished in Berlin the mem
bers will divide into several parties, some
of whom will visit Vienna and other Aus
trian and Hungarian cities, while others
will go to Italy, Sweden and switzerland.
A paper of this CITY says Chancellor Won
Caprivi told Phelps, American minister,
that the emperor will probably visit the
Worlds fair at Chicago. This statement,
however, lacks confirmation.

ANOTHER ILLUSTRATION
OF the 0utragcs Practiced Upon Jews In
Russia.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Advices have been re-
ceived here giving another illustration of
the bitter hostility against Jews in Russia.
This occurred at Elizabetgred, on
the Ingool river, 130 miles
north of kherson. Several thousand
farm laborers, small landholders and
others engaged in agricultural occupations
in the country surrounding Elisabetgred,
proceeded to the Jewish quarter amid
cries of "kill the Jews.' Thousands of the
tms. They attacked Jewish shops and
dwellings. driving the owners from
them, or holding them powerless
to defend themselves or their property.
plundered them of everything valuable.
What was considered not worth while
stealing was wantonly destroyed. Three
Jews were killed and many others wounded.
The authorities did not take single step
to prevent the outrages.

Ninth Annual Convention at Detroit
Prosperous Year.
DETROIT, Aug. 5.--The Women's Relief
corps opened its ninth annual convention.
The attendance was large and the reports
of various officers showed the order to be
in fourishng condition. The conven-
tion was called to order by the national
president Mary Sears McHenry, of Deni-
son, Ia, The opening address Of the presi-
dent was devoted chiefly to ths growth of
the order during the past year. '"The men,
bership," said the president, 'has steadily
increased during the year and the order is
represented in every state in the union ex-
cept Idaho and Alabama and all the terri
tories except the Indian and Alaska. Evon
Canada claims its post. During the year
3G2 corps, with membership of
1900. have been instituted. There are
auxiliary to posts of colored veterans ,
linas, three in Florida, three in Louisiana,
two in Tennessee, one each in Georgia, Ar
kansas and Mississippi, making total OF
| thirty-seven corps, aside from those belong
ing to regularly organized departments.
Seven of these have beon instituted this
alton by the Ohio Legislature of $25.0 900 for
the erection of Il cottage npon the home
grounds We asked for $2,5O0, and they
gave us $25,O00. This is the highest recog-
milton Of the Women's Relief Corps and it's
work over given.
The report of the pension committee
shows that they still keep the needs of our
army nurses before congress. Failure,
year after year, in efforts to procure pen
sions for these deserving women is matter
of deep regret to all, but trust their en-
aeayors will eventually be rewarded.
| The dav was principally consumed in the
discussion of reports of various officers.
