upon VIM. Mckinley. The Wilson bill
had nothing to do with the present CO n
dltion OF things. He discussed tho silver
question.
In reply to remark by Mr.. Grosvenor,
Mr.. Patterson said he represented, as
far as he could. in humble capacity,
the administration of Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Grosvenor stated that a conference
of Democratic leaders in Tennessee had
decided that the delegation from that
state to the Chicago convention, would
be solialy in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at a ratio of l6
to /.
Mr.. Grosvenor declared that President
Cleveland had been an Ishmaelite in poll
tics; his hand against every mans and
every mans hand against him. The pres
ent condition of affairs, he asserted must
continue until the r epublican party
came back to power and set right that
which went wrong in 1899.
Without completing the consideration
of the bill the committee rose and the

Touching Scenes Attending the Birthday
Celebration of Prince Bismarck.

Friedrusohe, April 1.-The 81st anni-
versary of the birth of Prince Bismarck
was celebrated today with great enthu-
siasm. Flags We're flying IN profusion
and there were many other ev videncss

Emperor.
The Prince was congratulated by
Count Won Waldersee and deputation
of officers to the Halberstadt Cuirassiers
and the Ratzeburg Chasseurs. Presents
arrived throughout the day from all
parts OF the empire.
About in the evening, Prince Bis
marck appeared on the terrace before the
crowd which had assembled. and was
greeted with enthusiastic cheers.
Herr Staelin, merchant of Hamburg
delivered an address, thanking the prince
for what he had done for Germany.
Prince Bismarck returned thanks in q
brief address. lie rejoiced, he said, that
his Hamburg neighbors had preserved
for him their good will and grace, al
though he lost the good will of people
in many places. The sx-chancellor dwelt
upon the interests of the professional,
mercantile and agarian classes, which,
he said, were interdependent. Heshoped
Hamburg would continue to prosper.
The ladies a large number of whom
were present, threw flowers to the ex-
chancellor and expressed desire to shake
his hand, but were prevented by his
physician.
Before retiring from the terrace, Prince
Bismarck, uncoverlng his head, said in
trembling voice: "My body is unable to
stand long fatigues," and added in fall
tering tones: My heart goes out with
you" At this the women sohbed and
men oheered and shouted tWiedersehen,
Wiedersehen,. These cries were con-
tinued until the last Of the crowd had
taken It's departure.
The present of Emperor William, for
warded by mail from Naples, consisted of
small photograph of the Emperor and
family, upon (which was inscribed in
pencil: "First of April, 1896, Wilhelm,
Imperator, Rex."

The Bermuda in Hands of the spaniards

Philadelphia, April IA private cable
gram received here today states that the
filihustering steamer Bermuda was seized
at Puerto Cortes by the Honduras gov
ern ment with all the munitions of war
aboard, with which she sailed from New
York for Cuba. The vessel is being
closely guarded, awaiting the arrival OF
the Spanish agents sent to Honduras
with evidence to have the steamer and
cargo condemned as ccntraband of war.
Capt. O'Brion and the crew of the YES
sci are known to be aboard. The where
abouts Of Gen. Calistro Garcia and ITO
men who went out on the steamer is
in doubt. 1t is said that there has been
treaohery somewhere and the exact de-
stination off the Cuban ceast of the
Bermuda WAS known to the Spanish Off
oials in this country, aud Gen. Weyler
was fully informed of the place where
an attempt would be made to land the
cargo An attempt to land was made
at night near Cape Correntas. Suddenly
several Spanish gunboats were sighted
bearing down upon the Bermuda. The
Bermuda made all steam and escaped.
Garcia and his men may possibly have
landed before the start was made to land
the war material.
