BISMARCK SPEAKS OUT.
His Organ Answers the Attack
y of Government Journals.
WILL NOT OBJECT TO PROSECUTION.

Such q Dramatic Conclusion to His Politi-
cal Career Would BE Interesting in the
Highest Deesree-The Article Said to
Have Greatly ExasperAted the Emperor.
BERLIN, July 6.-Prince Bismarck did
not sign the severely sarcastic article in
the Hamburger N achrichten" entitled
''The Opinion of Prince Bismarck. u
The article is believed, however, to be of
his authorship.
The writer replies at length to the
article in the ''North German, Gazette, -
in which Bismarck was denounced and
threatened with prosecution for the
statements in his Vienna interview
The writer declines to view the article
seriously. The article, he says, was re-
diculous, and he does not believe that
Chancellor Caprivi or any other Minis
ter of State inspired it. It was almost
certainly the mere personal opinion of
the editor.
If ministers should con tinue, the
writer in the "Nachrichten" declares,
in their present paths, and if practical
consequences follow the measures thew
have adopted, they will have to hear
things very different from Prince Bis
marck's utterancss at Vienna.
When Prince Bismarck will take
seat in the Reichstag his criticisms will
not be restricted by those limits which
now surround him.
Upright Englishmen and English
newspapers, too, says the 'tNachrichten,
consider the imperial government at
liberty to silence Bismarck by judicial
proceedings.
It would be interesting, in the highest
degree, if an attempt should be made in
that direction.
We do not believe that such a step
would be unwelconeIto Bismarck.
He has hardly to |raise an objection
to such a dramatic conclusion to his
political career, evenif the consequences
should be more serious to him than is
possible, under the existing law.
The article in the Hamburger organ
.of Prince Bismarck has renewed the an
ger of the Emperor. and it is said he
is again considering the prosecution of
Bismarck.
It is also reported that Bismarck
views the course of the "North German
Gazette' as having been inspired by the
Kaiser directly, without the interven-
ton Of Caprivi, and that the article
may even have been the Kaiser's own
production.
1t is known that the Kaiser once sent
a semi-editorial article to the Paris cor
respondent of the London "Times,n
and that the article was printed in tn 9
+ ''Times," and there is prevalent opinio n
that he wrote the article against Bis
marck which has been generally cred
tied to Caprivi,

A DRAWN BATTLE.
Chicago Police Fail to DislOdge the Enem
at the Van Buren, Street Dock.


at the Van Buren, Street Dock.
CHICAGO, July 6.-The attempt of the
police to execute the Mayors order to
compel the owners of,the Van Bureniline
of pleasure boats to move their boats
from the dock so that the Worlds Fair
steamers might have an undisturbed
monopoly met with desperate resistance.
The police resorted TO nothing NOR @
formidable than their clubs, but tn 9
steamboat men used axes, caulkin g
mallets and clubs, and squirted hot
water from the boilers at their foes.
A half dozen arrests were made, and
a number of men from both sides W ere
taken to the hospital for treatment.
At noon Inspector Hubbard, COM
manding the policemen, ordered a re-
treat for dinner, leaving a squad t O
guard the two boats captured.
After dinner the black squadron was
still under arms, while the city forces
evidently had little desire to break the
truce.
No fresh attack was made, the city
forces were ordered to retreat, and the
matter will probably be settled at the
meeting which the Mayor has called for
this afternoon.

GoLDsMlTh,S STORY
The Survivor of the Boston Balloon Az
cension Tells of the Accident.

CenBtOn Tells OF the Accident
BOSTON, July 6.-Delos E. Goldsmith,
the only survivor of those who ascende d
in the balloon Monday, told the story of
the trip as he lay on a cot in the hospital
this morning. He said:
"When the balloon rose in the air the
sun was declining and the scene from
the car was beautiful. We all antici-
pated an enjoyable trip.
cat first it seemed as if the balloon
would take a westerly course, but q
strong wind suddenly arose and swept
it in the direction of South Boston. Et
was soon evident that we were heading
for the harbor.
'It was then that Prof. Rogers said
he would land on Thompson's Island.
To fail of this all of US knew meant to
be carried out to sea.
"The Professor seemed to realize this,
as he became a trife nervous. He pulled
the escape valve cord, but the cord re-
fused to work.
1T was then a question of life or
death.
"Again and again he pulled. For a
moment the huge mass shook and q uiv-
cred. Soon our position became I'M
comfortable because of the odor of the
gas. To mitigate this the hold on the
cord was relaxed.
"To our amazement the valve refused
to close. Prof. Rogers kept his hold on
the rope.
"Suddenly a noise overhead caused us
to look up. There was a small rent in
the balloon which as the gas escaped
increased to a yard. At first slowly
and then like a dart the balloon de-
scended.
SIN this awful descent it occurred to
me that two carrier pigeons were in the
bottom of the car. With one wrench l
pulled the cover from the cage and they
were free, moment later we struck
the water.
'Tt seemed as il 1 went ten feet below
the surface.
81 knew we would have to swim and
before we struck the water had thrown
my coat away. had no time to remove
my shoes, but while in the water lay
on my back and removed them. Then L
became tangled up in the netting.
''When we came up 1 wiggled free and
jumped out Of the basket. The land
seemed far away, though am told it
was only 500 yards.
Gail this time heard prof. Rogers
behind me, and I supposed he too was
swimming for the shore. felt sick at
the stomach as swan, from the effects
of breathing the gas, and If I had not
been picked up quickly would have
soon given out.
tWhether Prof. Rogers died from the
effects of the gas or from his fall do
not know. He was near me all the time
until he sank in my wake"
Goldsmith is 90 years of age. He is
fond of athletics, and is an expert acht-
man and swimmer. He is suffering Sc
verely from the nervous shock, but will
be able, probably, to leave the hospital
to-day.

ARLINGTON, S. D., July Ga man

and allowed to go home. His wife
went with him but said she was
afraid he would kill her. The other

his wife five times. He admits his guilt
and will probably be lynched.

A Society Girls News Stand

Miss Bessie Binninger is plucky
young real society girl, who bought
out little news stand when she had
to earn her own and her mothers liv-
ing. You may have wondered who it
was that sold you papers and books
and stationery so graciously when
you dropped in shop OH Fifth Ave-
nue., near Thirty-sixth street.
Miss Binninger has made a good
deal of money out of her venture, and
the fine society folk, (who are posu-
larry supposed to frown upon self-sup-
porters, but who really do nothing of
the sort), look upon her as little
heroine in their midst. -
Miss Binninger is a very attractive
young woman personally. Many,
people at the horse show on Wednes-
day evening asked the name of a
rather tall, well-proportioned, viva
cious girl of the blonde type, dressed
in black and light blue-mostly light
blue-sitting in a box near the Goulds.
1t was she.
Except that she appeared much
more energetic than other society
maidens in close proximity, no one
would have suspected that she earns
living for her mother and herself by
selling newspapers.
It's brave woman who does so
much successfully.-N. Y. Press.
