WILLIAM ON THE. STAGE.
The Versatile Emperor Will, of Course.
Appear as the Hero.

Berlin, July I'm his visit to Stock
holm, Emperor William is accompanied
by Count Won Gutenberg, German
ambassador to Vienna who is his close
confidant in matters pertaining to foreign
affairs. Among the others of his suite is
a naval engineer, with whose assistance
the Emperor is closely studying the
newes types of warships. Amusements
are provided on board the Imperial yacht
Hohenzollern, the special features of
which are dramatic performances given
in the saloon under the personal direction
OF the kaizer, whose intention it is to
assume the leading roles in pieces treat
ing of Prussian history.
While the monarch is entertaining the
others and being amused himself, he is
engaging in serious work. Nobody now
believes that his weeks sojourn in Stock
holm is undertaken merely as a matter of
pastlme. The relations between King
Oscar and the Stothing continue strained
and the Emperor's timely visit to the
Swedish capital may create such an i'm
preston upon the Norwegians as to
render them open to compromise. Ad-
vices received from Christiana Tuesday
last gave promise of a speedy settlement
of the difficulties, the Radical majority
IN the Norwegian parliament voting the
diplomatic and consular budgets, appar-
entity under the influence of scare. But
the thought of what will undoubtedly
happen if any part of the money thus
voted shall be used to cover the expenses
o.. the royal reception of the German
Emperor at Stockholm yesterday and his
entertainment throughout his stay, gives
darker aspect to the situation. The
Storthing's vote explicitly stated that the
budgets were carried under certain con-
ditions, which stipulations are of a
character rendering it almost impossible
for Sweden to accept the votes. The
Emperor had long conference with the
King yesterday, and afterwards made a
tour of the city. The city was profusely
decorated with flags and triumphal
arches. The Swedish cruiser Gefion and
two torpedo boats escorted the royal
launch to the Hohenzollern and back to
the stairway.
Stockholm, July liking Oscar,
by Emperor William, toda
went by train to Castle Dripsholm. The
train in which they travelled was the
first train to pass over the new railway to
the castle. The royal party included the
Crown Prince and Crown Princess,
Prince Carl and Prince Eugene. This
evening King Oscar gave dinner at
Drottingholln castle in honor of his
Imperial guest.

Left Her Consort, the Colonia, Far
in the Rear.
THE NEW BOAT WONDERFULLY
FAST IN LIGHT AIRS.
But She Shows Signs of Being Tender
Her Lee Rail Was Under When the
Colonia Was standing as Stiff as a
HOuse-Was There an Accident?

|
Providence, July Tt was supposed it
was the intention to speed the Defender
with the Colonia as trial horse outside
of Newport today. Both yachts left
Bristol at about noon, but, although the
weather was most ideal for speeding out
beyond the Beaver Tail, the yachts did
not go further down the bay than Gould
Island. 1t was thought by those watching
the yachts that there was an accident of
some nature on board the Defender which
necessitated return to Bristol. This
was denied at Bristol tonight However,
a man was sent aloft while the yacht was
off Gould Island and the yacht lay to for
fully five minutes The yacht was some
time in coming about, and after the
sailor descended from aloft, she at once
bore away for Bristol She carried a
working topsail in addition to the three
lower sails she spread today. There was
only a fair sailing breeze blowing The
Colonia carried the same sails but was
not in it with the new boat The
Defender simply ran away from her con-
sort In an estimated distance of four
miles, with both yachts close hauled, the
cup defender beat the Colonia fully fifteen
minutes. She is certainly wonderfully
fast light weather boat. She did not
stand up to her work well, and she un-
doubtedly gave Indications of being
tender. While the Colonia, carrying the
same sails, stood up as stiff as house,
the Defenders lee rail was buried under
water all the time. And this in sailing
breeze in which she ought to have easily
carried a jib topsail and club topsail.

STEALING WINE AND CIDER.
Two Men Made Prisoners and Third Shot
Down.

Medway, Mass, July T7.-Richard
Howley, aged forty, was shot and in
stantly killed by John W. Hodges to-
night. Howley was guarding the door to
Hodges wine cellar in which his two
accomplices were stealing wine and cider

lowed to it's grave this afternoon the
body of John Wills, who was shot dead
in Thursdays riot at East Boston.
There were American flags there too A

saw the funeral go by in silence. There
was big police detail present in an
ticipation of trouble of some sort. Deputy
Superintendent Pierce was in command.
About 100 officers were deployed all along

IN CUBAN WATERS.
Steamer Bridgeton Dodgine About in a
Way to Cause Talk.

Kingston, July 7.-The steamer Bridge
ton, which it is supposed, was purchased in
Philadelphia by sympathizers with the
Cuban insurgents, has returned to this
port from whence she sailed, ostensibly
for Cayenne, after having repaired the
damage she sustained on her voyage here
from Philadelphia. She reports that she
sustained further damage after sailing
hence 1t is strongly suspected that when
she left Kingston it was with the OBJ
ject of carrying advices to the tug George
w. Childs, another vessel alleged to be
engaged in filibustering. Yesterday a
gunboat chased the Childs off the coast
of Jamaica, and it is thought that the
Bridgeton failing to find her in the
vicinity of the appointed meeting place,
returned to Kingston with a report of
damage as an excuse for her re-appear-
ance.

DITCH MUST BE DEEPENED.
Germany Agitated by Rumors that the
Canal is a Failure.

Berlin, July 7.-The public are actively
concerned in reports in circulation that
the new North Sea canal is destined to be
a failure. The Vossische Zeitung declares
that if large merchant vessels cannot
risk the passage of the canal, it will be
wholly useless as means of uniting the
Baltic and North seas. as fleets of war
ships will not be able to pass through
unless the canal is deepened and widened.
In the meantime the military value OF
the canal will be very small. The
National Zeitung beseeehes the govern
ment to explain the condition of affairs
at once and frankly avow the errors in
the construction of the canal rather than
allow the country to indulge in danger
GUS delusions. The Bank Zeitung predicts
that until the canal is enlarged at a
heavy cost it never will be able to pay
the work ing expenses.

Chicago, July with little warning,
wind and rain storm such as Chicago
has not seen for years broke upon the city
at about $50 this afternoon. The COM
plete result will not be known until to-
that four lives were lost on Lake Michigan
by the capsizing of boats at the mercy of
the hurricane. The yacht pilot went
down and John Ross was drowned. The
first approach of the storm was indicated
by the severe blowing of dust in the bust
ness part of the city, sending thousands
of pedestrians to seek refuge in hotels and
stores which were opened In few
minutes, the gale increased to fifty mile
gait and the sky became overcast with
black masses of clouds Wind and rain
mingled with terrific force, and people on
the streets and thousands of women and
| children in the parks became frightened,
thinking that cyclone was upon them.
Before the windows in the hotels could be
closed, thousands of dollars of damage
was done, and several injuries from glass
are reported.
| Several small boats were seen to capsize
and the occupants sink. The number Of
small boats on Lake Michigan was un-
usually large. At the outbreak of the
storm, a small sail boat containing q
number of men was seen off 22nd street.
An effort had been made to turn the boat
| towards shore, but the men were poor
sailors. The waves tossed the boat like a
toy for minute, and then it capsized,
carrying all the occupants to their death.
The damage to property throughout the
city is great especially in the business
portion. Thousands of dollars worth of
plate glass windows were broken and
many buildings were flooded by the
breaking of pipes in the roofs and other
parts of the buildings.
