Will Bismarclx's Work Endures
william Roscoe Thayer, in September "A

lantic
Though Bismarck has been worsted in his
contest with religious and social ideas, his
great achievements remains. He had
placed Germany at the head of Eu-
rope, and Prussia at the head of Germany.
Will the German empire created by him
last? Who can say? The historian has
no business with prophecy, but he may
point out the existence in the German en-
pire to-day of conditions that have hither-
to menaced the safety of nations. The COM
mon danger seems the strongest bond of
union among the German states. Defeat by
Russia on the east or by France on the
west would mean disaster for south Ger
mans not less than for the Prussians. and
this peril is formidable enough to cause the
BaVarians for instance, to fight side by
side with the Prussians. But there can be

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-News has

loss of the stern wheeler Stickeen Chief A
letter received from Juneau, dated Aug. 10,
brings the confrmatory news, and further
says that dissste was doubtless caused by
an explosion, and that the crew and passen-
gers, numbering forty-three persons, were
undoubtedly lost. The Dora saved d dog
which was floating on a piece of wreckage.
That it was explosion that caused the
loss is inferred by the Doras crew from the
fact that most of the wreckage was broken
into small bits. The wreck was found IN

THE SPECTATORS COMMENTS.
Its View of the Criticism of Alger-
The Nicaragua Canal.


The Nicaragua Canal.
LONDON, Aug 26.-The Spectator to-
morrow will say: 1.-The United States is
learning with indignation the details Of
what their troops had to endure before San
tiago and is inclined to make a scapegoat
of Mr.. Alger. Obviously Mr.. Alger is not a
Carnot, but it is hardly fair to put all the
blame on him. The real cause of the mis-
cry and muddle was the absurd belief so
widely entertained in America that you can
make war without preparation. Amateur
soldering. especially amateur transport
and commissariat, is cruel work."
The Spectator argues strongly for the abo-
lition of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and
says: "a movement must soon take place
in America which will inevitably cause the
United States to trip up against the treaty
and make vehement demand for its abro-
understood and explained beforehand might
seem here unfair and unfriendly." The pa
per argues that Americas new Eastern
1.-THE result of the treaty it says,
has been veto of the canal. no COM
pany being willing to build it unless IS
case of an Anglo-American the canal
would give America the greatest advantage,
but such a war is not to be contemplated.
If England should be at war with another
power, the canal in the hands of the Amer
leans would be neutral, therefore England
could quickly use it to reinforce her Pa
cfic fleet If the canal should be controlled
by Nicaragua or Colombia, in case of war
France or Russia might secure possession
of it."
The Spectator suggests that England will
not wait for America to ask for the abro-
cation of the treaty, but will arrange a
treaty by which England and America Will
mutually bind themselves to allow no power
save the United States to make canal, the
United States to keep it open to all ma
tons at peace with the United States.
The paper says: IF the diplomats must
have a quid pro quo there are dozen
Canadian points which might be set against
the tearing up of the treaty"

SECRET SOCIETY EXISTS.
warden CntrOn Guards Against
Opium Smuggling.

Walla Walla, March Warden Catron
has been in the city in consultation with
the police authorities, and said that he
has taken precautions. as he suspected
that Leonard Harrison, convict released
Friday, would attempt to smuggle opium
into the prison. Harrison is still in Walla
Walla, although, as is customary in the
case of discharged convicts, he received
railroad ticket to Seattle, from when lie
came two years ago, having been sen
fenced for grand larceny. Mr.. Catron has
for some time known that there existed 1T
the prison a secret society among the con
victs. each member of which is pledged to
aid the others when opportunity offers.
Although the strictest discipline is main
tanned at all times the men are able to
communicate with each other in a manner
which is mysterious, and all manage to
keep pretty we'll informed as to what is
going ON and as to the movements of THEN
fellow convicts This is not the first time
that the warden has seen fit to use extra
precaution. but this is the first time that
the matter has become public. How Har-
rison expected to accomplish his object Is
not known. but it is safe to conjecture
that he would leave nothing undOne tC
attain his end. He was one of the ring
leaders in the attempted hospital break ;
year ago last January and forfeited ther
his full quota of good time. His move
ments in the city after his release were
suspicious He was seen visiting many o
cribs in Chinatown, and, coupling thi
with the well known fact that a grea
many of the prisoners have been addicted
to the use of the drug and would give al
most anything and run all risks in orde
to get the dope, led to the suspicion tina
Harrison would attempt to help out tn
incarcerated men.

ALL rs Rustic AT WATERvLIET
Orders for ProiectiIes to BE Deliv-
cred at Fort Hamilton.

Albany, \. Y, March 1.-The greatest
activity known since the late rebellion Is
witnessed at the Watervliet arsenal. The
entire force is working night and day. On
Friday night an order was received for
the shipment Of two carloads of Pinch
projectiles for Fort Hamilton. with the
greatest possible haste. Saturday after
noon they were dispatched to that point.
Orders have also been received for the
shipment of all projectiles now on hand

to forward all complete guns as speedily
as possible to the proving grounds at
Sandy Hook. Such an order has not been
received at Watervliet since the close ei
the war. 1t is expected that the last six
loads of projectiles will be shipped during
the present week.
