PRINCE BISMARCK.

He Cannot, Evon With the Greatest
PrecautiOn, survive Much Longer.
LONDON, Nov. 20.-The PaU 1IdU ca
Sette publishes an interview this after
noon which one of its correspondents had
with Count Herbert Bismarck in Berlin.
Referring to tue health of his father, the
Count said: You should not forget that
my father has lived beyond the allotted
time Of the Bible. He has weathered
many storms and has little pleasures in
life, but his hardest trials have come
within the past four years, and at a tune
when he should be spared every aggra-
vation of anxiety. Add to this his active
over-busy intellect, his deep concern for
every important question Of the day, and.
more than all, his concern for Gerinany,s
prosperity, TO which he has devoted his
life, to say nothing of the deeds of his
friends, and L question ii any other man
has braved life's tempests with better re-
suits. But he is fast getting old. lie suf-
fers from no organic disease. He is
weakened by time and cannot, even with
the greatest precaution, continue much
longer. We, OF course, are very anxious
about him, and he is scarcely ever out of
sight. OF necessity We are prepared for
Gods will"
When questioned in regard to the
friendship OF Prince HoEenlohe, the new
Chancellor, for Prince Bismarck, Count
Herbert said: I've are no nearer solu-
ton than before. OF course, the new
Chancellor is a perfect gentleman, but
there are factors nearer him which al
ways necessltate difference of opinion"
Asked about the new Gar of Russia,
Count Herbert said: "A new and partic-
ularly young monarch always max es
changes, some OF more startling impor-
tance than others. That depends upon
the temperament of the sovereign"
Then, with meaning laugh, Count Her.
bert is reported TO have added: In Rus
sia's case there is every reason to hope
for the best"

PORTLAND (Or.), Nov. 20.-For the Sec

The Banquet to MilliOnaires Recently Given
In London by Baron Hirsch.
Baron Hirsch is a highly susceptible
millionaire who believes in royalty, who
has followed the fortunes of the Prince
of Wales assiduously, and who is sup
posed to have "staked" that parsonage
on many occasions. For awhile he
dropped out of the papers, but he is
back again now, and his genius for do
ing things that cause people to talk
seems again to be in good working Or
der. The dinners Of rich men have been
frequent, but Baron Hirsch conceived
the idea of getting the u richest men
in London together and giving them a
dinner which would rank as the most
expensive one III the long history of that
great dinner giving metropolis.
According to a correspondent, it was
o feast of money from beginning to end.
Not a single guest was admitted whose
fortune was not estimated in millions
of pounds, and the English papers have
become delirious in trying to figure out
the exact wealth represented by the bar
on's IL guests.
The baron himself made no pretense
of giving the dinner for special oh
ject, except to see how good a dinner he
could buy. The chef of the Hotel Savoy
and the proprietors Of that establish
ment entered cheerfully into the baron'S
scheme, and the result was a dinner
which it took four hours to eat, was
paid for in about four minutes and cost
upward of So, 500. 1t cannot be wonder
ed at that the Prince of Wales is fond
of Baron Hirsch.

PETER The GREAT.
A Horse ae Hands High, Weighing 400
Pounds Is Still Growing.

A Horse 22 Hands High, Weighing HOO
Pounds, Is Still Growing.
a freak of nature and world wonder
in the shape of horse is drawing many
of the curious to the livery stable on
South Third street just now This spec
linen of the equine kind is unquestion-
ably the tallest in the world. 1t is, in
fact, colt, not yet years old, measur-
ing the enormous height of % hands,
feet and 4 inches. In weight this horse
wonder tips the scales at l, 700 pounds.
Peter-that is his name-is gelding
and was foaled in Minnesota in June,
1891. He is of Norman stock and a
beautiful dapple gray in color. What is
almost as remarkable as his huge pro-
portion is the fact that his dam and sire
were not above the average size of that
breed of horses. Another colt from the
Eame dam and sire, year younger than
Peter, but proportionably as large, if
not larger, died some months ago.
Peter, as evidenced by his weight, is
a well proportional animal. His limbs
are clean cut, and the head, body and
neck of good form. He is, as is the case
with many colts, little bit swayback-
ed, but this imperfection, horsemen say,
will disappear with age. The hips are
little higher than the highest point Of
the shoulders from which the height
and measurement are usually taken.
Should the horse grow to maturity,
it is not unreasonable to expect that he
Will attain fully inches more in height
and develop proportionately otherwise,
carrying a weight possibly of 5000
pounds, A gelding seldom attains its
full height until Z years old, while mares
generally mature two years younger.
There is nothing of record, several
horsemen say, which equals the height
of the colt in question. Several years
ago, however, there was horse on ex-
hibition in Toronto which weighed 2, 500
pounds.
Peter is physically sound and healthy.
At such an age, growing with the "a
pidity that he is, he could not retain
much flesh, though he might be said to
be in good trim for work. His carriage
is good and movement far less clumsy
and awkward than might be expected
of an animal of such proportions. Sc

The laying of the new Atlantic cable
is not an event of the same Importance
as the laying of the first cable of this
kind, but the fact that it is expected to
raise the speed to 80 words a minute in
the transmission of messages indicates
that it will revolutionize the sending of
submarine messages and draw Europe
into much closer relations with America
than existed before This will quicken
the two continents in their thinking
and feeling as well as in their CONNER

yet important agencies by which the
whole of mankind are constantly being
brought into closer relations, man with
man. At the present time the news Of
the London and Paris and Berlin papers
is transmitted to US with such speed and
accuracy that we are able to judge what
is going on in Europe with substantial
comprehension of its import, and when
this new cable is in operation news of
this kind will be much more complete
than it has ever been before. Boston
