Bismarck's BLUM.

~HE fact that President McKin-
ley reached the diplomatic era
of the war at the moment Of
Bismarck's death, brings into sharper
prominence the experience of the Iron
Chancellor in the making of terms with
the French. at the close OF the Franco
Prussian war.
As to these terms, Bismarck had fully
made up his mind. He proposed to
leave nothing open for controversy or
for any commission. He made a fiat
proposition and II was a terror-he de-
manded a tremendous cash indemnity
and the cession to Germany of the
choicest of French territory, and ne
was resolved 10 yield not a dollar in
the money or an inch OF the territory
he had made up his mind to exact. In
the end. however. ne did yield some
thing on the score of the cash.
OF course, the Frenchmen were taken
fairly off their feet. Jules Favre was
the spokesman, In discussing terms, for
the provisional government which,
dlltI nv ian VI |obSit'hf a bNth
organized under republican forms.
Favre protested vigorously; indeed. his
first reply was an emphatic refusal tn
yield any part OF the territory "
France. Bismarck had a blum pre-
pared. There was no merit in II. but
It served his purpose admirably. 5
you say not an inch OF our soil or a
stone Of our fortresses.' Very well. II
is useless TO waste time in discussion
that will not lead TO an agreement. My
time is precious. so is yours; ! don't see
why we should squander II. II that Ia
the stand you take you have come to-
late. A delegate from Napoleon III.
Is waiting to meet me; l shall negoti-
ate with him"
Nothing could be more distressing to
Theirs, Favre and the other patriotic
Frenchmen who were trying to save al
that was possible out of the wreck
than the threat OF the restoration Of
the Napoleonic dynasty. Anything
rather h a that. they thought. Thus
Bismarck's bluT worked admirably;
and the diplomatic world from that
day 10 this never for a moment sus-
pected that the Germans had dreamed
Of opening negotiations with the rem
nauts OF the empire.

Earl Of Delaware. for figuring on the

Earl Of Della war;. for figuring on the

the neat sum of SIPS. 900. while for per-
forming the same service the Earl Of
Winchester received but $4,000. not
withstanding the fact hat the latter
can boast a more distinguished ances-
try and Is of longer descent in the
peerage han the former. Another
noble lord received $4,000 for consent
ing TO be the nominal head Of a bicycle
company. the total output ranging in
the neighborhood of s2s7. 500. Nor was
the use Of a name alone the only thing
for which the promoter was willing TO
pay. He had a schedule price for let
tiers Of introduction or for in.rodur-
tions in person. Thus he paid Earl
Dela s10,O o for simply making him
acquainted with Lord Greville, which
was lone in -four words and took but a
moment.
Hooley was the organizer and pro-
moter OF corporations, real or fictitious.
He made a speciality OF hiring men
with high-sounding names to end the
weight Of their influence to his stock
watering schemes. Incidentally he
paid money to the representatives az
certain London newspapers either for
publishing or suppressing Information
in which he was concerned. and the
scale on which he transacted business
was liberal even from the American
point of view. It is not often that there
is told on the witness stand such a Gym
ical story OF reliance on the arts OF
the briber and corruptionist in order to
carry a point. II startled London TO
learn that the Pail Mall Gazette n
the Financial Post are on the list OF
publications accused by this bankrupt
promoter.

1t was to have been anticipated that
Spain would be glad enough 10 be let

After Hooley's Collapse.

ONDON newspapers are predict
ing that parliament will soon
pass laws which will regulate the
operations OF promoters" Hooley. the
bankrupt sdventurer, is the awful ex-
ample in this Instance. His collapse
was sensational enough judged merely
by the amount OF money represented
in his scheming. but the total in dol
lars and cents is as nothing compared
with the startling charges OF dishon-
est he brings against men "
high rank in England's social, political
and business life.
Hooley spent uncounted amounts q
hard cash on the purchase Of the back
ing OF men Of high rank. He bought
endorsement FOR his ventures. and now
hat he is down he really seems TO en-
soy the OCCUPATION OF giving his CO.
co"nspirators away and dragging them
down with hlm-the higher their rank
the better Hooley seems 10 enjoy his
work of destroying regulations. AS the
Brooklyn Eagle aptly remarks: THE
speciality OF Mr.. Hooley was earls and
lords. but II cannot be said hat they
all looked alike TO him. Then value
Was proportionate to their pull in the
