Berlin, July 8. The independent New
York shooting corps, in full uniform,
paid a visit to Prince Bismarck to-day.
The party comprised Messrs. Diehl. Wm.
Weber, Hermann Weber, Ehret, Eisen
haner, Hocpfur, Kocrberk, Kostock, Krtiez,
G. Krauss, Lewes, Lehing. H. Mahrenholz,
A. Renholz, Masas, Splitdorff, Stein, Weiler,
Wintermeyer, Wegeler and Walschmidt
The chief forester conducted them to the
casile, where Prince Bismarck rfiook hands
with each one. William Weber expressed
the thanks of the party for the privilege
given them of visiting the great man to
whom Germany owed her unity. Thou
sands of his associates, he said, would
envy him standing at Friedrichsruhe, and
the day would be tho pleasantest memory
they would carry back to America.
Prince Bismarck expressed his pleasure
at the visit and said he was surprised to
bear only German names. Germans in
America, -he said, must feel satisfie'd' with
the unification of Germany even on the
other side of the Atlantic. Formerly one
was a Saxon, another was a Prussian, and
another man was a Hessian, but now each
called himself a German. The marksmen
might, as German pioneers, further con
tribute toward the preservation of the ties
knitting the two nations. He had alwavs
striven to maintain good relations with
America. In his oninion it would have
been foolish to quarrel over such a small
question as that of Samoa, and he had
therefore worked energetically to etlect an
amicable settlement of the matter. I

LONDON POLICE TROUBLES."
Danger of a General Strike Believed to Be
Past Public Opinion Against It.
London, July 8. Quietness prevails
throughout the entire metropolitan police
force this morning. 2s one of the men have
gone on strike.
This morning's newspapers are unani
mous in condemnation of the police strike,
which sentiment is shared by the public
generally. Public opinion has condemned
Sir Edward Bradford's arbitrary policy
since his appointment as chief commission
er of police, but is overwhelmingly favor
able to him in its estimate of his conduce
yesterday. On all sides his course is ap
plauded and nobody questions its neces
sity. The police were placed at a decided
disadvantage as regards justification, in
attempting to strike upon the short notice
they gave of their intention, since every
member of the force is bound - by an agree
ment to give two months' notice of his par-
pose of abandoning the service.
The agitators of the strike were mainly
novices, who had everything to gain and
little to lose. The veterans of the force
hesitated to sacrifice the benefits and ad
vantages of their past long service by fol
lowing the lead of their hot-hea'ded juniors,
and their hesitancy in the future will ccr-
taimy oe greater, it is unquestionably, to
the coolness and better judgment of the
older men in the service that tho failure of
tno striKe is uue. inese men had never
committed themselves to an out-and-out
strike, and their reluctance to take the
step influenced many of their colleagues.
who otherwise would have responded to
the call lor a general outbreak.
Two members of the police force who
were taken into custody for assaulting su
perior olhcers yesterday have each been
sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment.
Ihe men are weakening. They have no or
ganization, and it is not likely that they
will attempt to enforce their demands by a

general striKe. it is prooauie, nowever,
that further isolated disturbances may
occur. . The constables who were dismissed
from the force for their connection with
the present troubles are petitioning the au
thorities for reinstatement.
Several meetings of policemen were held
to-day, the chief feature of which was the
general disposition displayed bv the men
to quarrel among themselves. It is quite
evident inau what little or the spirit of or
ganization their movement possessed has
entirely disappeared, and the entire force
is at sixcs-and-sevens. The ring-leaders
are blaming one another for tho failure of
the attemptod strike, and the younger men
are berating their eiders for not support
ing at tho critical time. To-day's disor-
. 1 i r
aers were mereiy local auairs, and were
quickly suppressed. The men at their
meetings to-day decided not to combine
with the postmen, but to fight their own
battle. I wo merchants ottered the police
men 1.000 to-day if they would persevere
in their attempts to bring about a general
striKe, out the oner was relused.

and sixteen of their number were arrested.
The crowd attempted to rescue the prison
ers, but were unsuccessful. In the conflict
four constables were injured. Tho crowd
was then dispersed, and at midnight all is
quiet.
Other Foreign Labor New.
Ten thousand dock laborers and other
workmen paraded the streets of Cardift
yesterday, carrying banners and accom
panied by bands of music. They after
wards held a meeting, at which epeeches
wero-made denouncing the employers.
Thero is great scarcity of coal in Dublin,

crowds have indulged in every time one of
that obnoxious class has made his appear

The clerks and foremen employed on the

to strike for higher wages. Thoy assert
that their wages average less than those of
the ordinary dock laborers, and this is un
doubtedly true.
SOUTH AMERICAN PANIC.
Efforts to Save the National Bank of Uru
guay High Premium on Gold.
Montevideo. July 8. There is no abate
ment in the financial panic here. In order
to stop the run on the banks the govern
ment issued a decree making yesterday a
national holiday. One million live hun
dred thousand dollars in gold is on its way
here from Buenos Ayres. and it is hoped
that upon its arrival the financial distress
will be relieved. At Buenos Ayres the
premium on gold advanced to-day from 1T5
per cent to 105 per cent
The Uruguay Legislature met in special
session on Sunday to consider what course
it was expedient to pursue- in view of this
Na-
tional Bank. Ine session, which w
as held
behind closed doors, was prolonged until
midnight Finally a bill was passed, which
will be promulgated at once, sanctioning
the suspension of specie payments for six
months, and pointing out the necessity for
adopting this financial policy. This action
has alarmed the merchants, and a deputa
tion of them waited upon the Finance Min
ister and sought information in regard to
the measure. The Minister assured the
merchants that the government had no in
tention of resorting to a forced currency.
The government fears that the people will
not accept paper currency, but desires to
save the National Bank, if possible, by the
present intermediate measure. If the ofl'er
of the government to assist the bank, or
foreign assistance fails, the bank will
probably be forced to liquidate.

Paris, July 8.M. Paul GilTord, a French
scientist, has discovered a new pro
pulsive force which may revolutionize
the art of war. It is a condensed liqui
fied gas which he calls "La Nou
velle , Balistique," or liquelied gas.
Three hundred drops of this com
pound are contained in a small steel
receptacle under the rifle barrel
and each time the trigger is pulled
one drop falls into the breech be
hind tho bullet. Contract with the
air causes this drop to volatilize in
stantaneusly with an expansive force
far exceoding that of gunpowder,
and which expels the bullet with terrible
velocity, accompanied by neither noise nor
smoke. Phis invention is also applicable
to artillery.

Philadelphia, Jnly 8. Congressman
Benjamin Bntterwortn. of Ohio, who ar
rived here last night from Washington,
and who is. staying at the Continental
Hotel, was taken sick last night with a
serious attack of cramps. A physiciau was

has almost entirely recovered, bnt is still
rather weak from the attack, and is suffer
ing slightly from nervous prostration. On

thought by the attending physician to
have brought on the attack.

NEW YORK CLOAK-MAKERS.
Big Demonstration Made Yesterday by the
Locked-Out Employes.
New York, June 8. With the thermom
eter in the nineties, and under a scorching
sun, about seven thousand of the lockod
out cloak-makers paraded through the prin
cipal streets. The'rally ing place was on East
Broadway and Butgers street. The start
was made shortly after 2 o'clock. The men
walked four abreast and in serried column.
A platoon of police headed tho parade,
after which came a brass band, President
Garside and Chairman Dale, in a barouche,
the consolidated board, numbering twenty
one men, and then tbe operatives, to the
number of seven thousand, or more. The
onlv flags carried were two American, one
Italian and the large Hag of the union,
which is red, with gold letters.
There was as largo a crowd following
them on the sidewalks, and on these thou
sands of men plodded through ltutgers.
Canal and Broadway up to Nineteenth
street, where the parade was dismissed.
While tho strikers were in Union square
Secretary T. H. Garside climbed upon the
platform of the little cottage and delivered
a brief address, in which he said he hoped
the men would be of good cheer and use no
violence, for they were about to meet with
success. They waited long enough to cheer
him, aud then they broke for the fountains.
Jt was like a stampede of cattle after
drought. They crowded around and fought
liko wild animal 8 for a drink, and tho big
fountain was transformed into a pyramid
of wretched, suffering humanity, crazy for
a drop of water to cool their parched
tongues.
- Cincinnati Freight-Handler.
Cincinnati, July 8. On the Pennsyl
vania and Louisvillo & Nashville lines the
strike, so far as the freight-handlers are
concerned, is practically settled, a full
force working on both theso roads to-day.
On the Louisville & Nashville, however,
there is an increasing disposition on the
part of switchmen along the line to
sympathize with the striking em
ployes, and though several trains
were go tten out, business was some
what embarrassed. The Cincinnati South
ern ran freight until 11 o'clock. The O. &
M. began to receive at noon.employing new
men. On tbe Chesapeake & Ohio the situ
ation is unchanged, freight being handled
by new men. The B. & O. Southwestern is
working about twenty-live men, while the
Big Four, on tbe same plan as that of the
Pennsylvania route, is bringing in new
men from along the line to take the places
vacated. The Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton and Erie roads handled no freight
to-day but hope to be able to resume to
morrow. Hungarians Returning in Disgust.
Pittsburg, July 8. One hundred and
fifty Hungarians passed through Pittsburg
to-day en route to New York to sail for
home. They have been in this country
from one to three years, and go back dis
gusted, having discovered.they say .that the
remuneration for toil in this country is dif
ferent from what the European emigrant
agents led them to believe; tllat the cost of
living even in their unostentatious style
equaled their earnings, and they had de
cided to return to their native land, where
they can live as well aud work less than
they are compelled to do here. -. t .
YTire-Nail-Mill Shut Down.
Findlay, O., July 8.The Salem wire-nail-mills,
of this city, giving employment
to five hundred hands, shut down this
morning, pending the adjustment of a
wage-scale, growing ont of the fact of the
employes having joined the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel-workers, and
the new scale of wages is unsatisfactory to
nail-manufacturers. It is said every wiro-nail-mill
in the country has shut down for
a like reason.
Strike at Louisville.
Louisville, Ky., July a The Louisville
& Nashviilo switchmen and brakemenhere
went on strike to-night on account of the
strike at Cincinnati. In all between three
hundred and five hundred men are out.
The L. & N. officials are busy trying to se
cure men to take the places of the strikers,
but business is at a stand-still. There has
been no disturbance. .
Wage Dispute at McKeesport,
PlTTShURG, July 8. A lengthy shut
down is looked for at the National tube
works, McKeesport, Pa. The tirra refuses
to sign the amalgamated scale, but is
willing to pay union Wages. The men de
cline to accept this and as a result the im
mense plant is idle and about four thou
sand men are out of employment.
HORSEFLESH AS FOOD.
It Resembles Bull Beef and Tastes Something
Like a Hare.
Nineteenth Century.
Physically horse beef may be distin
guished from beef or mutton by ite appear
ance. It is coaiser in the grain than beef.
In this respect it resembles bull beef more
than any other. It is darner in color, and
looks more moist than beef. It has a pe
culiar smell, and peculiar sweetness of taste.
Its ilavor is generally considered to be half
way between the flavor of beef and game.
It is something like the llavor of a hare.
Ono reason why horetlesh is, ns a rule,
darker in color than beef, is that horses
which are pole-axed, or which have died
from injury, disease, or old age. are not
properly bled and dressed by the slaught
er. It is. however, by its fat that horse
llesh is most easily distinguished.
The fat of horaollesh is not generally
mixed with the lean. It is yellow in color.
It looks more moist than the fat of beef.
It soon melts, and soon becomes rancid.
Consequently, unless a rapid sale is eject
ed or the fat removed, an advanced price
mnst be charged in prder to secure the
butcher from loss on unsold meat. Lastly,
horsellesb can be distinguished from beef
by its chemical characteristics, and it is in
this way that it may bo recognized when
mixed with other substances. Who can
tell, except the chemist, what re the com-
ftonent parts of a sausage, pof y or save-oy?-
Or who can tell by taste what these
parts are? We do not ludge by taste; we
judge by flayor. and in the making of flavor
to use Sam Welter's phrase "it's the sea
soning as does it."
The Sub-Treasury Scheme.
Louisville Times (Dem.)
The sub-treasury scheme to make the
federal , government guarantee a certaiu
price for farm products would lead to uni
versal bankruptcy, national, Stato and in
dividual, and be attended by universal re
pudiation, national, State and individual.
Ithode Island Badinage.
Detroit Free Press. t
A citizen of Rhode Island was before the
courts for saying to another: If 1 had a
knife I woulil cut your throat! I will lay
for you and kill you if I have to live a
hundred years!" His honor decided that
this was simply badinage, and that the
prisoner conld not be held.

DKATII OF A 11KRO.
An Aged Colored Preacher Who Was Once a
Slave Ills Services to Ilia llace.
New York Special to fit. Louis Globe-Dtmocrat.
The Rev. Benjamin Whipper, a noted col
ored preacher with a remarkable history,
died in Norristown, Pa., Wednesday, aged
eighty-two, and was buried on Saturday at
West Chester. He was at one time a slave,
but in 1833, at the age of twenty-live, con
trived to make his escape over the Mary
land lino and went to Canada. Thero he
secured service in an indulgent English
family, and, making good use of his oppor
tunity, learned to read and write, and
later studied for the ministry. During his
theological studies iu 1810 Whipper hap
pened to bo at Atglen. in Chester
county, aud while there distin
guished himself by rescuing in a
heroic manner a runaway slave girl who
was being taken back outh iuto slavery.
The girl, who, as a child, lived on the
plantation where Whipper had 6erved, had
escaped a few months before, and was liv
ing with a family at Atglen. Her owner,
with civil authorities from Maryland, ap
prehended her. and was about to take her
to Lancaster and thence South. Whipper
learned of the girl's capture and immedi
ately planned a rescue. With a party of
four friends, all mounted, he attacked the
Southern cavalcade on the roadside just
east oi Lancaster. A nun ber of shots were
exchanged on both sides, and one of
the horses of the rescuing party
was killed, but "Whipper succeeded in
rescuing the girl, and boro her to a place of
safety on horseback behind him. Some
years afterward Whipper was licensed to
preach, and assumed charge of a congrega
tion in Simcoe, Canada. Ten years ago he
was summoned suddenly to attend a sick
woman on her death-bed. He arrived be
fore the death of the invalid, - an old
colored woman, but before he left he had
the happy satisfaction of knowing that
this woman was none other than tho
colored girl whom ho had delivered from
her captors forty years before, near Lan
caster. Recently the patriarchal preacher
resided at West Chester, Pa. He had two
daughters. One of them live in West
Chester and the other in Xorristown.
To Fire the Southern Heart.
Louisville Commercial.
All this row and pretended wrath about
the election bill is merely for political,
clfect. Some politicians are afraid of los
ing some of their party strength in the
House, and some others are afraid of losing
their seats in the House. Others see that
thero is need of a cry and excitement to
stir up party feeling, because, in South
Carolina, the Farmers' Alliance is about to
capture the State from the Democratic or
ganization; in Georgia, it has captured the
Democratic organization; in other Southern
States it is demoralizing party plans, and
even in the Gibraltar district of Kentucky
has smashed party fences into smithereens.
Some blood-thirsty business is needed to
draw tho farmerd back to tho old party
standards, and the etlort is making to use
this election bill for that purpose. The hy
pocrisy of the outcry againut it is shown
uy the fact that tho bill applies to every
part of tho country alike, and if it is tho
bad bill pretended, it will overthrow the
party thnt passes it, and the Democratio
politicians ought to encourage its passage
as opening a road to victory for them, in
stead of threatening war to prevent it
from becoming a pxv.
