VIII the Prince Visit U.:

London, Oct 24.--While the prince of
'syaies was ut Newmarket last week the
.axestion Of the worlds fair came up at
having inquired whether there was any
truth in the report that he proposed to
visit Chicago next year, the prince replied
ilibition. Which was evidently going to bs
the biggest thing of the kind ever accom-.
plished, but he doubted whether he could
get away next year at u suitable time. 1t
was then suggested that the great expense
involved would probably induce the COM
mittee to keep the exhibition up for a sec
nnd season. The prince thereupon said he
! hoped they would, as he then might be able
to arrange visit. Such visit would be a
strictly lncogEito. The prince could take
uept the hospitality of his American friends.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Nearly n Fatality.

St. Paul. Special Telegram, Oct. o.
The train bearing the regular army
troops home from Chicago was run into
by 4 stock train two miles below St.
Paul yesterday morning, several horses
being killed, number of the men slightly
injured and two baggage cars containing
baggage, paraphernalia and mattresses
being destroyed by fire. On Saturday a
special over the Wisconsin Central left
Chicago with four companies of the
Third infantry in command of Col. Ma
son. The detachment consisted of 3OO
men and eighteen officers. and at the
head end of the train which was in
charge of Conductor Bement there was
Il stable car containing six horses, the
property of the officers, and two baggage
ears in which were the accoutrements
and personal effects of the troops. The
train was due in st. Paul ut & q. m.
and was within two miles of the city
when The accident occurred. When
rounding sharp curve about mile east
of EIgcrton street Engineer Curley
noticed the stock train bearing down
upon linn ut good rate of speed. lie
quickly reversed his lever. as did the en-
eineer of the stock train. but it was too
late. The trains crashed together, tear
ing the fronts of the engines and piling
the cars up in heap on the track:
'rhe engine attached to the special
jumped the track and the engineer and
fireman were badly shaken up.
The soldiers, who were just preparing
to rise, were thrown about in the cars
in great confusion, several of them be-
ing bruised by being thrown against
the seats and cut by broken glass.

Six Inches of Rain,

TOPEKA, KAN.-Monday's rain with its
guage of 2.14 inches in less than an hour and
a half, was followed on Wednesday, which,
iat noon, registered 1884; making nearly six
inches during the two rains There was more
rain Wednesday afternoon and during the
night following.
More families living in the suburbs along
the Shunganunga were rescued by wagons
more sidewalks, small buildings and other
property washed away.
Parties living in the southeast suburbs,
across the Shunganunga, had no way of
reaching the city except to walk the Missouri
Pacific railroad track; they could not get to
the Santa Fe track.
The Kansas river reached level with the
sewer, which is the highest it has been for
two years. Its velocity increased rapidly nm.
til at night the rate at which its waters were
travelling were terrific. Debris of every de-
scription could be seen carried down the
stream, some of it being of a character which
indicated that it had been carried from barn
yards. Huge logs, travelling with mighty
force, would strike against the butresses OF
the Kansas avenue bridge with a crash. The
carcasses of many cows and several horses
were seen floating. Parts of small frame
buildings were also carried down the stream.

Killed by a Wire,

Boston, MASS, May 7.-Bostonians had an
other awful demonstration of the deadly
force of the electric current in the overhead
trolley system of propellIng electric cars,
which have been SO thIckly woven over Bos-
toms streets. A guard wire was broken at
the corner of Dorchester avenue and Broad
way, South Boston, and the heavily charged
wire fell to the street, landing on the backs
of two superb gray horses attached to big
wagon. Instantly both animals dropped in
their tracks with their paralyzed driver nearly
on top of them. In moment there was the
sickening odor of burning flesh, a cracking,
sizzling sound and wreath of blue smoke
curling up from the inanimate heap of horse
flesh. One of the grays was instantly killed
and the other, after momentary paralysis,
began to kick and squirm in horrible agony,
his great teeth fiecked with blood, crashing
together in his death struggle. 1t was from
the other that the smoke was ascending, and
the awe-stricken crowd that had now gath
cred around saw that the wire had stuck him
on the side of the neck, and was burning
great blistering furrow in it. Soon the strug-
giles of his companion ceased, and the two
lay together in an inextricable mass of hoofs
and harness. thousand people witnessed
the death struggles of the horses and half a
score of boys and men narrowly escaped the
same fate.

OMAHA, May 6.-The question of seating
laymen apart from ministers continued I'M
settled.
: In a talk before the conference Bishop
Foster said: ''The church demands an Amer
icanized franchise as well as q naturalized
franchise. The continuation of foreign Ian
guages and customs in this country is wrong,
and we are opposed to teaching foreign lam
guages in our schools. We believe the cleo
tive franchise should be more guarded, and
that foreigners should be required to serve
longer apprenticeship to secure it. We re-
gard congressional legislation excluding Chi
nese as inhuman, and recommend that petit
tions to congress be prepared by the confer
ience to not pass the measure. The
Capitalization of wealth is denounced. and if
1t is not arrested there will be danger to social
estate and functions. The church must act.
It cannot side with wealth.; it must 60 with
the toilin2 masses"

1t Looks Serious.

CHICAGO, May 10.-The directors of the
Worlds Columbian exposition met in special
session for the purpose of receiving the re-
port OF the committee recently sent to Wash
ington to urge the necessity of financial aid
from congress-. The general impression pre-
walls at worlds fair headquarters that the
situation Is getting serious.
Ihe most conservative estimate is that not
less than 100000 above all present re-
sources Will have to be expended before the
gates can be opened. If congress decides
mat no aid Is necessary, or cuts in half or
quarter the amount asked for by the direc-
tory the question where the money is to come
rom Will assume a troublesome aspect.
:. There are members of the board who be.
ileve that it would be possible at get s., 0O0,-
w IN day by going out on the streets and
nustllng. Conservative and experienced
bankers, and fnanciers identified with the
enterprise, however, have not much idea that
this could be done, no matter to how great
an extent patriotism and local pride might
be appealed to.
1t Is feared, moreover, that the appeals to
congress, and the fact that the enterprise &C
tualiy stands in need of this additional i'm
mense amount of money, will have bad
effect upon the European governments and
intending exhibitors from abroad.

KEoKUK, A.-Loss of stock is great. The
river at Warsaw measures about eighteen feet
above high water mark, and the same at
Alexandria, and general exodus to the hills
may ensue.
Here the government gauge shows the river
to be fifteen feet and six-tenths above the
high water mark of 1864.
OTTAWA, fIL-The water reached point
higher than ever before in the history of the
Illinois valley. being twenty-one feet nine
inches above low water mark.
PEORIA, IL.-The river registered over
twenty-one feet, the highest point reached in
nearly half 4 century. There are fully five
tween here and Pekin. The worst destruction
is at the La Marsh drainage district, which is
now under fifteen feet of water. 1t continued
to pour through crevasse in the dyke, which
is now over thousand feet in length. The
rescuing party was kept out all night, and by
daylight had accounted for all of the thirty
families within the district with but single
exception. George Nichols and family resid-
ed at the lower end of the district, and it is
not known what has become of them. A sec
ond break of over hundred feet has occurred.
Nearly all the houses in the inundated region
are threatened with complete destruction.
Driftwood and debris are piling up against
them in huge quantities. Household goods
have all been fioated off, and the rescued are
in bad shape. Small houses along the river
bank in this city have been carried away,
and thousands are occupying tents. The
larger portion of crops had been planted and
will be total loss, as the ground cannot be
used this season.

England's Battle Of Ballots APP

England's Battle of Ballots APP
preaching.
LONDON, May 9.-Within both Gladstone's
immediate circle and the rank and file of the
liberal party, his refusal to receive delegates
from the workingmen's conference, who de-
sired to present the eight hour question to
him, Is keenly felt by all to be mistake.
Conservatives took quick advantage and
both Salisbury and Balfour received deputa-
tions from trades unions. They withheld
any committal to the eight hour movement.
The official unionist paper declares that
Gladstone's action has chilled to the core the
hearts of the workingmen, who were once
warm toward him.
Elections seem certain to be held in July,
following the Ulster convention at Belfast
and the all Ireland unionist convention in
Dublin In June. The Orange lodges, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt asserts, are pr1-
vately subscribing money for the purchase of
arms to carry ont their threats to rebel rather
than submit to an Irish parliament. Whether
the tories really and sincerely believe that an
armed conflict would follow the establishment
of an Irish parliament, they assume sincerity
and cultivate the belief that civil war would
be the outcome of home rule.
Mcdonnell, Salisbury's private secretary,
has written to Oxford clergymen that sshis
lordship is glad to see you impress upon the
electors the probability that home rule would
produce the greatest of all curses-religious
civil war"
After this it is no wonder to hear of men
drilling, and that rifles and munitions of war
are being stored in England.

The Pope Against 1t.

New YORK, May 10.-Archblshop Corrigan
has received cable dispatch from Rome,
saying the Fairbault system was condemned;
special case reserved. This means that the
cause which Archbishop Ireland champloned,
and whose advancement was one of the OBJ
jects of the journey to Rome, Is put under
the ban by the pope. The so-called Fairbault
system consists of rendering the course of
instruction in parochial schools entirely secu-
lar until the end of the regular daily exer-
religious instruction while the Protestants
are permitted to 60 away.
The system was put into effect it Fairbault,
Mimi, where parochial schools were put I'M
der control of the village school board, the
expenses being betrayed by the village under
the above conditions. Bishop Ireland liked
the plan and desired its extension.

Berlin News,

BERLIN, May 10.-The Allgemerine Reich
correspondent, which sometimes gets direct
tips from the Russian finance ministry, an
nounces positively that the car is coming to
Potsdam. If this report be true, his visit
must necessarily be brief one of courtesy,
as the emperor's plans, which are fixed for
months to come, do not include the visit of
the car. It is certain that attempts continue
to renew the entente with Russia, though the
efforts of Count Won Schouvaloff. Russian
ambassador to Germany. in the direction of
negotiating commercial treaty, have been
baked by st. Petersburg opposition. Even
courtesy visit from the car would be well
come, as tending to reconciliation. In the
meantime, the anti-German party prevails in
Russia. The repression of the German ele-
ment in the Baltic provinces Is more severe
than ever. The use of the Russian language
has been compulsory in the schools of Cour-
land, which was hitherto exempt from the
obligation. Students clubs at Dorpat uni
versi'y, which are made up largely of Ger
mans, have been placed under them, and
Russian professors are taking the places of
Germans. Russian students who obtain
scholarships are sent to Dorpat with the view
of strengthening the Russian element.

Blacks as Bomb Throwers.

oldCkS as 6On1O lnTOw0TS.
CHICAGO, May 10.-''Other men besides an
architss can be goaded into making and
throwing bombs, and if the outrages on the
colored race continue the negro will become
an anarchists" SO said Fred Douglass, the
colored ex-United States minister to Hayti,
in an interview at the Palmer house.
The words were not uttered in passion, but
came with deliberation. ''The thirst for
blood of colored men must cease in the
SOUTH" he went on, cor as sure as night fol-
lows day there will be an instruction. It is
the worst evidence of outlawry and disregard
of justice and human rights that we should
hear every day that some black man has
been lynched. It is not true that colored
men are ravishers of women and children,
and certainly, if the negro is guilty.. what
possibility is there for his escape from justice
If he be given a lawful trial? I have long
urged upon colored men to assemble and lay
bare to the world their bleeding wounds.
This grand Columbian exposition will be just
the opportunity for them to assemble and
seek a remedy. I hope to see great con-
vention or congress of colored men here at
that time"

woman OF national reputation. She gave q
