TALK WITH BISMARCK.
The Prince Doubtful About the Fran
cO-Russian Alliance.

LONDON, Sept. 4.-The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times says the Zukunft
publishes what is undoubtedly an authentic
interview with Prince Bismarck, probably
obtained by Count Limburg- -Stirum. who re-
Gently visited the ex-chancellor on behalf
of the Conservative party. Prince Bis
marck expressed himself as very skeptical
regarding the alleged Franco Russian alli-
ance and declared that the Cars toast
really committed Russia to very little. In
course of the interview Prince Bismarck
said: II remember in my own diplomatic
experience similar obscure expressions
which were not unpleasing to the ears OF
those they concerned. / do not think the
contents Of the treaty, if 1t exists at all.
would please the French. The policy of the
Russian government has always been very
cautious, and | cannot conceive that 1t
would needlessly commit itself TO adven-
lures from which 1t would gain nothing.
Count Murayieff has always behaved as
Germanys friend, and do not see any rea-
son why he should change his mind
Prince Bismarck complimented somewhat
ironically President Faure's aptitude taste
and success in the new fashion of political
travelling, and repeated the opinion that
nothing would come Of 1t, adding: But for
all that the French people is moved nearer
to the fire and might more easily than ever
boil over. This ought TO deliver our rulers
from any illusion they may still cherish
and should serve to warn them against al
tering the basis of our national defense"
The ex-chancelor deprecated the clamor
for big fleet and for colonial expansion
saying: "Our flag should follow our trade
and not precede it. The most important
thing for Germany is to have strong
army. That was the opinion of Won Moltke
who shared my conviction that we shall
have TO fight upon the continent of Europe
battles which viii be decisive for our
colonial dominlons."
In the course of some interesting but un-
gracious personal "reminiscences OF his po-
litcal and personal relations with the late
Empress Augusta, the conflicts with whom
he said had shattered his nerves more than
all OF his parliamentary and diplomatic bat-
ties. he recOunted how ne frustrated the
intrigue TO make her regent in lS4S and con-
cluded the interview by ridieuling the re-
port that he was going to kiel 10 chrIsten
a ship, saying: i am no longer a man for
festive occasions.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.
Views of G. NJ. Coffin, Acting Control
Ier of the CURRENCY.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Mr. George M.
Coffin acting controller of the currency, is
confident of a most prosperous financial
season for the United States in the near
future In an interview with a reporter
to-day he said: 'There is every evidence
that the United States is accommodating a
vast amount of capital of its own. and this
goes to show that, sooner or later, if it is
not already so. this country will be finan-
cially Independent of Great Britain or any
other nation. The current rate for demand
loans in New York to-day is IA per cent,
against a slightly higher rate in London,
and it is not at all improbable that under
these circumstances New York bankers are
loaning money in London. In spite of the
sustained by the United States during the
past four years, the latest bank statistics
show that there has been a very large ac-
cumulation of capital in this country, much
of which is lying idle in banks awaiting
favorable opportunity for investment The
national banks of this country now hold
about $3.50 000, 600 over and above the sum
required by law as a legal reserve. This
same condition of affairs undoubtedly ex-
lists in the other banking institutions
through the States of the Union. There
ital in the savings banks. One result of this
enormous accumulation of capital will be
lower rates of interest for the future L
am sure that this will come, and my opin-
ion is shared by many bankers throughout
the country. / do not believe that we will
see again as high rates of interest as have
prevailed in recent years"

WOMAN'S SUICIDE CLUB.
Mamie DOnOhue the Third Member to
Fulfill Her Promise.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Mamie Donohue. a
young woman who committed suicide by
drinking carbolic acid in the presence of
hundreds OF people in Fourteenth street on
Tuesday, was a member of suicide club.
She was the third to fulfill the CHASTITY
pledge of her initiation. The existence of
this club has been known to Charles Crit
tenton, the founder of the Florence Mission.
Mr.. Crittenton and his lieutenants of both
sexes have been exercised for months in de-
vising means to break up the club They
knew Mamie Donohue. They knew that
she was a member of the club. They ex-
pected news of her suicide. They had
known the two girls who had preceded
Mamie Donohue in demonstrating their 10y
atty to the club by leaving it and the world
by the one desperate act. 1t is club of
women-of such women the Florence
Mission strives to regenerate. It's members
are inspired by a common horror of life as
it unfolds itself to such as they after the
first unwholesome glitter has been tar
nshed Jennie Beck, another member of
the club says she will also commit suicide
Mamie Donohue was debarred burial in the
Florence Mission plot.

FIGHT In AN ELEVATOR.
$. III. Smith Assaults Adam Wilson
with Razor.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Bare fists against a
razor was the unequal odds this afternoon
in desperate encounter between Adam Will
son and Samuel H. Smith in the elevator
at the Post Graduate Hospital and Medi-
cal College, on Dearborn street. While the
elevator ascended from the basement to the
sixth floor and retraced its course the two
men fought their yells sounding through
the corridors of the hospital and carrying
alarm to the patients in the wards. 1t was
a fight for life by Wilson, bloodthirsty as
sault by Smith, prompted by a quarrel over
their respective duties. When the battle
ceased Wilson was lying on the floor of the
elevator in the blood that flowed from a
dozen or more wounds. Deep gashes marked
both sides of his throat, four long slashes
crossed his breast, part of his left ear was
gone and his arms and hands We're hacked.
Smith escaped from the elevator by stop>
ping 1t at the first floor and ieaping into
the hall. The police are searching for him.
His victim is in a critical condition.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 3.--Patrick Dolan
president of the Pittsburg miners district,
is on his way from the Columbus confer
ence to this city to tell the local people
what transpired in the Ohio city District
Secretary Warner says a call will be issued
for a convention of the Pittsburg district
and will be called for Tuesday next, when
the delegates to the national convention on
the Sth inst. will be instructed. The indica-
tions are that these delegates will be told
to stand pat" for the sixty-nine-cent rate.
They hope to have the support of the other
States in this, because if the Pittsburg dig
gers obtained the advance of II cents, the
differential which has always been an es-
tablished custom between the several
States will secure to the others a corre-
spending advance in their wages. The min
ers, individually, judging from talks With
number of them, consider the operators
badly whipped in the fight and think they
should be glad to compromise on even 70
cents, and there is no doubt that the dele
gates to the district convention will be CIV
en- to understand that they must instruct
the national delegates strongly for 69 cents
or nothing.
Irwin is filled with striking miners. The
town is wild. over two thousand men, who
are contendng for SO cents or nothing To-
Gated tonight in a hurriedly formed camp
directly opposite the offices of the Penn Gas
Coal Company. Marches to the nearby
working mines have already commenced
and every effort will be made to induce the
miners employed by the Penn Gas Coal
Company and the Westmoreland Coal Com
pany to quit work. Armed guards are pa
trolling the property of the coal companies
and Sheriff II. S. zanor, from Greensburg,
was there tonight. He returned to Green's
burg for the purpose, it is said of collect
ing a number of deputies.

PEARL-HUNTlNG CRAZE.
st. Francis River Lined with People
Frying Open MusseI Shells

HELENA, Ark, Sept. 3.-The pearl-hunt-
ing industry, which has been exciting the
whole country, is spreading all over this
end of the State. The st. Francis river,
from the mouth of the river to Jefferson
VILE is lined with white people and negroes
all engaged in unearthing and prying open
the richly laden mussel shells. One young
man brought a small bottle of pearls to
Helena to-day taken from Philips's bayou
a tributary of the St. Francis. They are
darker in color than the ordinary pearls of
of good size. All of the chain of lakes in
the hitherto impenetrable ST. Francis river
bottoms are full of these pearl bearing
mussels, and if they should prove TO be
valuable the whole country will presently
be engaged in the business TO the detriment
of crop gathering one planter said yester-
day that he expected 10 have difficulty in
securing hands 10 pick his cotton on ac-
count of the pearl excitement.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL Ind, Sept. S.-The miners exec
utive committee met here to-day and made
final arrangements for the celebration of
Labor day The failure to have sufficient
food to make a contribution at the various
commssaries Wednesday caused much suf-
fering among the needy, many of whom
depend wholly on contributions for support.
Considerable stir was created among the
strikers by the report that several men
had returned to work at the Big Four mine
belonging to the Brazil Mining Company
A delegation will Immediately visit the
mine to induce the men TO come out The
rolling mill here is working every day, US
ing Kentucky coal and the Indiana paving
brick plant started up to-day, securing fuel,
il is claimed from southern Indiana. Many
of the miners declare that unless an amica-
BILE agreement is reached at the meeting
of the operators and miners officials at
Columbus. the miners here will be idle
when snow flies. The operators appear in
different, apparently not caring when the
men return To work. They have lost sew
eral good contracts by the suspension and
in all probability there win not be much
work here this winter when the suspension
is called off.
