BD FRIEDRICHSRUHE, May IS.—H
Sj (Copyright, 1898.) The cool and rainy tsi
S weather has increased Prince Bis- M
march's neuralgia and aggravated the ;a
Sj swelling of his legs, and he has been a
f| unsble to leave his bed for several a.
B days. Dr. Schweninger is again here .a,

■ The prince, therefore, Is unable to re- 'if

tj the Associated Press, from members ,H
jg of the family, has been able to obtain '*£
g the views of the former chancellor on a
Sj the war and suggested Anglo- Saxon if,
Sj alliance, as expressed by the prince a_
■ during his most recent talk at the a
SJ table. In substance they are as fol- a'
' tJJB lows: SI
Sjj Prince Bismarck condemns the war a'
■ outright. He says it Is due to sys- a
Sj tematlo American provocation,which [tfj
8 finally became unbearable. He added: >?;

H America or Europe. The United g|
Sj States will be forced te adopt an ln- a.
fj termeddling policy, leading to una- a
'Sj voidable frictions. She thus abandons a
Sj her traditional peace policy, and in a
5J order to maintain her position she a
gg must become a military and a naval a
■ power—an expensive luxury which X
U her geographical position rendered Eg]
Sj unnecessary. M
Sj "America's change of front means a

H by Joseph Chamberlain at Birmlng- if:
Sj ham, Prince Bismarck said: it
Sj "The Importance thereof depends a
SJ upon whether Mr. Chamberlain's prl- a

Kj viceable to both. a

French Relations
NEW YORK, May 18.—A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
While the relations between the United
States and Oreat Britain are being closely
knit together, those with France are not
so cordial as the authorities would like.
It developed today that there has been
a practical suspension of the reciprocity
negotiations between the Washington and
Paris governments, due to the action of
the French authorities in Increasing the
tariff duty on several American products
Imported largely Into France. This in
crease is particularly felt by meat ship
pers, and indignant protests have been
made to the State Department, which
caused the department to submit a formal
protest on the subject to France.
In the meantime the reciprocity treaty
negotiations are languishing, and it is
doubtful that they will be resumed until
France has made a satisfactory explana
tion of her action, or at least has reduced
the tariff to the point where it was before
the existing law went Into effect.
"France Increased her tariff after the
Dlngley law went into effect," said an
official with whom I talked. "The object
was to take off the Increase in exchange
for concessions to be given by this govern
ment ln accordance with the provisions
of the Dlngley law. To say tho least this
was rather a sharp trick.
"This government was Informed at the
time that the French Executive recom
mended Its Legislature to enact a law pro
viding for the Imposition of Increased du
des on American products, and the m;r
ter at the time was brought to the atten
tion of the Paris authorities, but the law
was placed on the French statute books
and is now being enforced."
It Is the firm belief of the administra
tion officials that the French attitude on
the tariff and other questions, between the
two governments, is directed by France's
sympathy for Spain, and there is no ques
tion that the French government Is giving
her moral support. If the Spanish fleet
should succeed In raising any part of the
American blockade of Cuba, tbe officials
have no doubt that France would be one of
the first nations to raise innumerable
questions growing out of the alleged in
effectiveness of the blockade.
As an offset to France's attitude, that
assumed by Great Britain Is very refresh
ing to officials, and no surprise need he
expressed If most of the troublesome ques
tions between the two governments are
promptly and effectually settled.
It Is known that the reciprocity negotia
tions between the United States and Great
Britain for the Bermuda, Bahama and
West Indian Islands belonging to Great
Britain, are progressing most satisfac
torily, and there is some reason to believe
that Canada will soon enter Into reclproc
, ' Ity negotiations with this country.
Special Ambassador Foster Is also busy
With the Behring Sea seal controversy, and
It is quite possible that a solution of this
.. question may be expected In the near fu
ture,
One of the most pointed features of the
« good relations existing between the United
States and Great Britain is the fact that
- Sir Julian Pauncefote is a dally visitor to
«the State Department, and that his rela
tions with the officials of the department
are of the most cordial character.
It is denied in official circles that any
thing Is being done looking to the forma
tion of an alliance between the two coun
> tries, and It Is said the arbitration treaty
: la still on the shelf.
Retaliation Talk
CHICAGO, May 18.—A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Shall tho United States retaliate upon
Prance for her alleged sympathy with
Spain by refusing to make an exhibition In
}he big exposition of 1900?
This question is causing no end of dis
cussion among members ot Congress.'
General Grosvenor declared that he will
oppose any measure appropriating money
for an American exhibit. He asserts his
firm belief that the steamer Lafayette, cap
tured and released by our warships, deliv
ered French artillerymen to the Spanish
and that these Frenchmen killed our sail
ors at Cardenas. Congressman Dockery
of Missouri, It is said, Is of one m.nd with
General Grosvenor.
Attention is likewise called to the flag
lantly hostile attitude of the Parisian
press. Out of half a hundred newspapers
published in Paris, only three are at all
favorable to this country.
Congress has already appropriated $25,000
for the Paris Exposition, of which only
one-half was spent. This was at the ser
vice of the Commissioner, Moses P. Han
dy. Strong opposition to any further ap
propriations is to be looked for.
Favor Alliance
SHANGHAI, May 18.—The newspapers
here and public opinion in general strongly
favor an Anglo-American alliance as pro
posed in the speech which Mr. Chamber
lain recently made at Birmingham, Eng
land.
A New Interpretation
LONDON, May IS.—Rear Admiral Chas.
Beresford, conservative member of par
liament for the city of York, addressing
the junior constitutional club this even
ing, expressed his strong approval of the
Birmingham speech of Mr. Thomas Cham
berlain, secretary of state for the
colonies, on the Anglo-Saxon alliance, but
described it as "the right thing said InThe
wrong way."
Lord Beresford said as he read It, Mr.
Chamberlain's speech asked for an al
liance, and It would appear that the al
liance was one with Germany, but he
added:
"If they speak ln enigmas and fall to
bring a thing out straight, they often de
feat the object they have in view."
Mr. Chamberlain meant to ask. Lord
Beresford understood, for an Anglo-Ger
man alliance, Germany herself being in
danger of isolation, owing to the tlfiTlcul
tles ln Austria and Italy; the German al
liance, which would "tend to peace and
to the advancement of trade."
As for an Anglo-Amertean alliance, his
lordship continued: "I sympathize with
that Idea also, but It seems to be prema
ture."
The Americans, he declared, were
shrewd, and it was not advisable that It
should appear as if England were in n
position of difficulty and was suggesting
an'alltance for her own benefit. He hoped,
however, that such an alliance would
come.
Boldest Policy Safest
LONDON. May 19.—The Tien Tsin corre
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
"Mr. Chamberlain's utterances have
made a deep and favorable Impression
here. It Is universally understood to refer
to a possible alliance will include
Japan. 1 am enabled to state that Japan
Is ready to Join England In any active and
determined policy calculated to control
the government of Peking, to reform th"
Chinese administration, to check Russia
and to save China from annrchy or com
plete absorption.
"Further. I urn assured that Japan Is
ready to place 300.000 men on the mainland
besides lending the assistance of her fleet
In the east to Great Britain.
"The general view here is that the bold
est policy Is the safest. The suggestion of
an Anglo-American alliance Is most cor
dially endorsed."
A Japanese Alliance
YOKOHAMA, May 19.—The press of
this city, discussing tho recent speech of
Mr. Chamberlain at Birmingham, advo
cating an Anglo-American alliance, ex
presses the opinion that the time is ripe
for the formulation of an Anglo-Japanese
alliance.
CABLE CUTTING
Is Easily Excused by the People of
England
LONDON, May 19.—The Times says ed
itorially this morning:
"It is evident that the naval authori
ties of the United States are uneasy, and
very properly so, about the possibilities of
a sudden attack ln some unexpected quar
ter. The censorship has been established
none too soon. It is difficult to understand
how the Spanish ships in the Carribean
can continue to move about in this mys
terious manner, disquieting and perplex
ing their adversaries, without permanent
arrangements for coaling, which, If they
exist, must be extraordinarily expensive
and precarious.
"This Is one of the aspects of the ques
tion that the new Madrid cabinet must
face at once."
Discussing the international law regard
ing the right to cut cables, etc., the ar
ticle says:
"We cannot blame the United States for
trying to push their rights to the utmost
where it is evident that the Spaniards en ■
joy an advantage by using the cables con
necting the British and other West India
islands with the rest of the world. It
should teach us. however, to secure our
main lines of cable communication
against such risks of disturbance* by con
necting them as far ns possible with sta
tions on British territory."
In Minnesota
DULUTH, Minn., May 18.—A tornado
struck the village of Pennington on the
Soo line this afternoon, completely wiping
out the place. Three persons are known
to have been killed and probably fifty in
jured. The section foreman and two sec
tion men are among the killed. There Is
great suffering among the Injured people,
till word could be sent to North Grandon,
thirty miles distant, for assistance. A spec
ial train with physicians and provisions
went to the scene of the storm this even
ing. They report that scarcely a building
Is left standing.
A Vessel Ashore
PORT ELIZABETH, Cape Colony, May
15.—The bark R. A. C. Smith, Captain
Hooper, which sailed from Port Louis.
Mauritius, on April 26th, for New York. Is
ashore at Woody Cape and will probably
become a wreck. All the crew are on kbard
with the exception of three men who are
at this port. Assistance has been sent to
the endangered vessel.
A Serious Blow
S?J LONDON, May 19.—The Paris cor- %
H] respondent of the Dally Telegraph js
Si says: jg
g "The flutter caused by reports of Jj]
a French sympathy with Spain has led .«
11 the ladies of the American colony to jf
a boycott the local shops." g
Georgia Populists
ATLANTA, Ga., May 18.—The Fopullsts
of Georgia today nominated J. B. Hogan
for governor, Felix N. Cobb for attrney
general, to Mil vacancies caused by the
declination of those named at tbe regular
convention held tlx weeks ago.
LOS ANGELES HERALD* THURSDAY MORNING, MAY f9# 1898
GRAND OLD MAN DEAD
gathering added Its words of grief to the
volume of national mourning, clearly
voiced in the telegram from the Prince of
Wales to Mr. Herebrt Gladstone:
"My thoughts are with you, your mother
and your family at this trying time you are
experiencing. God grant that your father
does not suffer. ALBERT EDWARD."
At the banquet of the Home Counties
Liberal Federation last evening Sir Wil
liam Vernon Harcourt, Liberal leader ln
the house of commons, Instead of deliver
ing an important party attack only uttered
a few words of grief and left the room.
The Duke of Devonshire, lord president of
the councils of ministers, speaking before
the British Empire League, referred touch
ingly to the mournful scenes at Hawar
den, where "the greatest of Englishmen
was slowly passing away."
In other places Lord Horatio Davis, Lord
George Hamilton, the secretary of state for
India; Henry Campbell-Banenrman, and
many others in London, as well as In Bir
mingham, Swansea, Cardiff, Liverpool,
Edlnburg and elsewhere, at all sorts of
gatherings, politicians, divines, agitators,
reformers and women, Joined ln the expres
sion of national and individual grief, while
the press without exception published col
umns of detail and columns ot editorial
comments.
It was the topic of the hour in Great
Britain, but abroad the evidences of sym
pathy were almost as universal. M. Faure,
president of the French republic, dally In
quired and has regularly received every
bulletin. The press of Belgium, France,
Italy and Greece ln a spontaneous outburst
recalled how many oppressed peoples dur
ing Mr. Gladstone's life have offered hymns
of praise for his Intervention in their be
half, while in Madrid, even, the) prospect
of his deuth has caused a twenty-four hour
Huspension of war animosity against Eng
land.
Not the least point In this tribute to Mr.
Gladstone was Its profound unanimity.
Mr. Gladstone had been unconscious
practically all day, though st times he
seemed to recognise (or a moment some
of the watchers about him. Certainly he
did recognise his wife, who was beside him
all day except when the physician pre
vailed upon her to take a rest. She ten
derly clasped her husband's hand as she
watched him. Apparently he slept a good
deal; occasionally he uttered a few words
In an incoherent, dreamy way, words which
those who were watching were unable to
catch. Their only consolation was that he
was not suffering pain. No narcotics were
administered.
Though a national funeral will probably
be accepted by the family, there Is little
doubt that the remains of Mr. Gladstone
will be laid to rest In the peaceful grave
yard at Hawarden adjoining the churc ■:
where he was married more than a half a
of the watchers about him. Certainly he
century ago.
The Supreme Moment
About 4 o'clock quick movements about
the corridors of the castle and glimpses of
people passing hurriedly to and fro before
the lighted windows gave evidence that
the supreme moment could not be far oil.
Naturally, It was impossible to obtain In
formation, as all those ln the castle were
riear the death chamber. At 5 o'clock the
long watch ended and the final bulletin
was brought out, announcing that Mr.
Gladstone had passed clamly from one
sleep to another.
6 a. m.—The following bulletin has Just
been posted:
"In the natural course of things the fun
eral will be at Hawarden. Mr. Gladstone
expressed a strong wish to have no flow
ers at his funeral, and the family will be
grateful If this desire is strictly re
spected."
Dr. Dobte says Mr. Gladstone breathed
quietly all night and passed away quite
peacefully.
Editorial Tribute
6:30 a. m.—All the papers are out with
special editions In heavily leaded borders
announcing the death of Mr. Gladstone.
The Daily Chronicle heads Its editorial
with a quotation from Wordsworth:
"This is the happy warrior; this is he,
That every man in arms should wish to
be."
The editorial says: A glorious light has
been extinguished in the land. Mr. Glad
stone Is dead and all his life lies in the
past, a memory to us and our children, an
inspiration and possession forever. The
end has come as to a soldier at his best.
Jt found him calm, expectant, faithful, un
shaken. Death has come robed ln the ter
rors of mortal pain, but what'better can be
,sald than that as he taught his fellows how
to live, so he has taught them how to die.
It is impossible at this hour to survey the
mighty range of this splendid life. We
would assign to him the title "The great
nationalist of the nineteenth century." To
Italy, Greece, Montenegro and Belgium,
his name Is hallowed, but beyond all, we
claim him as the patriot, the greatest of
the master builders of modern England.
Timidity had no place ln Mr. Gladstone's
soul. He was a Hon among men, endowed
with a granite strength of will nnd put
pose rare indeed in our age of feeble con
victions.
The Daily News says:
We cannot help dwelling upon the opin
ions which Mr. Gladstone held most strong
ly and the sentiments which he felt most
deeply because they are the only key which
unlocks his character and his life. One
of his most characteristic qualities was his
personal humanity. This cannot be ex
plained without the key; for Mr. Glad
stone did not, In the ordinary meaning of
the word, underrate himself. He was not
easy to persuade. He paid little attention
to other people's opinions when his mind
was made up. He was quite aware of his
ascendency ln council and his supremacy
ln debate.
"On other questions he did Indeed dis
trust hs own judgment. In politics he did
not, but the secret of his humility was an
abiding sense that these things were of lit
tle Importance compared with relations be
tween God's creatures and their creator.
Mr. Gladstone once said with characteris
tic candor that he had a vulnerable tem
per. He was quickly moved to Indignation
by whatever he thought injustice either to
himself or to others, and was Incapable of
concealing his emotions, for if he said noth
ing his countenance showed what he felt.
More expressive features were never given
to man.
"Mr. Gladstone's exquisite courtesy,
which, In and out of parliament, was a
model for all, proceeded from the same
source. It was esssentlally Christian. To
consider him apart from religion would be
like considering Tennyson apart from
poetry or Darwin apart from science. His
religion, though It did not make him
gloomy, made him habitually serious.
Hence arose the fiction that he had no
humor. This curious delusion seems to
Have arisen from the undoubted fact that
he could never be induced to laugh at any
thing indecent or profane, but he was a
master of irony and could be extremely
and bitterly sarcastic. Moreover, nobody
laughed more heartily over an anecdote
that was really good. Different people,
unless they saw him often, got very differ
ent Ideas ot him. He was many men In one,
but he Impressed all alike with the essen
tial greatness of his character.
A SAFE BUILDING
Too Many Stores Made the Timbers
Shrink a Little
SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.—All fears
for the safety of the troops stationed at
Fontana barracks have been allayed by
the official report of Captain George Ruh
len. United States army, chief quarter
master of the department of California,
who, in company with F. J. H. Rlckon, a
civil engineer, on duty with the depart
ment here, made a thorough inspection of
the building and pronounces the same to
be not only safe, but unusually strong.
The cracking noises heard, which caused
the heavy artillery to vacate the ware
house are attributed to the fact that the
wood is "checking" from the heat engen
dered by a number of stoves recently
placed ln the quarters of the heavy ar
tillery by the Red Cross society.
Lieutenant-Colonel W. J. Fife, com
manding the First and Second battalions
of Washington volunteers, after a care
ful Inspection of the building, set a re
quest to General Merrlam -asking that the
Washington troops be permitted te remain
in their present quarters. The request was
granted as soon as General Merrlam as
certained that the structure was safe.
AN ALASKAN JOURNEY
A Hundred Days in Boat and on Dog
Sled
SEATTLE, May IS.-E. M. Carr and P.
L. Hawley of this city arrived here to-day
after one of the longest recorded trips by
dog sled and small boat in the history of
Alaska travel. The trip extended over a
period of 106 days and was attended by
much hardship.
Carr and Hawley left Rampart City,
several hundred miles up the Yukon river,
January Uth with an outfit of two slods
and seven dogs and several Indian guides.
They traveled down the Yukon to the
coast and thence to Kodlak Island, where
they caught a steamer for Sitka. They
encountered many bllziards, and foforie
period of eight days their only Aod was
the few fish they caught.
E. M. Mutch, who arrived here to-day
from Dawson, confirms the reported
drowning of Thomas Barnes of Axtcl,
k*an., and Louis Blsham of Montana In
Lake Bennett on May 10th.
Mr. Mutch says that the spring clean
up began in the Klondike on April 19th, the
day before he left.

name shall be confined to Los Angeles only,
or to the state either. They want it known
as far as the other hemisphere that they
are a wide-awake, cosmopolitan crowd of
men, and patriotic, too.
When Charles F. Slonne, a popular
member of the club, appeared in the pa
rade of escort to the Seventh regiment as
Uncle Sam, most every one knew that that
was not the last they would hear of the
man and his disgidse of that day. He has
had himself photographed ln his pet cos
tume, the picture being large and in col
ors, showing all the various hues that made
Mr. Sloane so conspicuous. He was taken
standing, with the Jonathan club's (lag be
hind him to the right and the Stars and
Stripes similarly placed to the left. The
picture has been set In a beautiful gilt
frame, which bears the following Inscrip
tion beneath the photograph, for It Is to
be gent to Rear Admiral Dewey: "Pre
sented to Admiral Dewey by Jonathan
club, Los Angeles."
The following letter will accompany the
remembrance, and is self-explanatory:
George Dewey, Rear Admiral U. S. N.,
Manila:
Dear Admiral: The Jonathan club of
Los Angeles has performed many pleas
ant duties, memories of which we cher
ish, but the pleasantest act of our club
was the election of George Dewey, rear
admiral, U. S. N., as honorary mem
ber at this our last regular meeting.
Prior to that date, Immediately after
receiving the news of your glorious
victory, we paraded the streets of our
city In force, cheering your name to the
echo.
You are our ideal of an American, on
land or on sea. Our club doors are open
to you and your friends. At our ban
quets a plate will always be laid for
you; if you are absent we know you
can be accounted for.
In our parade above referred to one
of our stalwart and patriotic clubmen
represented "Uncle Sam." We send you
a photograph of this noted personage,
who, with such commanders as George
Dewey, can whip the world.
Through you we beg to present our
compliments and congratulations to
your gallant officers. Believe us when
we say that our high appreciation of the
skill and undaunted courage of your
self and your fleet but reflects the pop
ular sentiment of the patriotic city of
Los Angeles. Devotedly yours,
THE JONATHAN CLUB,
By Ferd K. Rule, President.
And the Jonathans are making another
little display of public spirit. They are
going to send to the Seventh regiment in
San Francisco all the old papers and peri
odicals they have had stored away, and the
members Individually also are contributing
whatever literature they can.

RETURN TO DUTY
Maine Deserter Anxious to Surrender
Himself
DENVER, May 18.-A dispatch filed at
Helper, Utah, from the News correspon
dent accompanying the Colorado troops
says:
At 5 oclock this morning, when the head
quarters train was near Red Cliff, Col-,
Hale was awakened from his sleeper by a
man who claimed to be a deserter from the
battleship Mulne, and said that hn had
boarded the train with a view of giving
himself up to the United States authorities.
He gave the name of Michael Powers. He
said he deserted January 18, 1897. His re
quest was that he be taken to San Fran
cisco and delivered to the navy. Colonel
Hale took the man's description, tele
graphed the circumstances to the secre
tary of the navy at Washington. Powers
wus given permission by the trainmen to
ride on the train until an answer was re
ceived. He Is a man of 31 years of age and
appears to give a straightforward story.
His opinion was that small punishment
would be meted out to him If he offered
himself again to serve ln time of war.
Oriental Steamships
CHICAGO, May 18.—Chairman Walker
of the board of directors of the Santa Fe
In an Interview today confirmed the report
that the Atchison Is about to establish a
steamship line between San Diego and
Yokohama, and added also that Dewey's
victory at Manila will probably change
the original plans to the extent that the
bouts will touch at the Philippines. Nego
tiations are actually pending with several
companies, but the probabilities are that a,
contract will be made with a Japanese
steamship corporation, the name of which
is withheld for the present.
Refused to Resign
SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.—Warden
Hale of San Quentin prison has made a
formal demand of J. L. Tharp, chief of the

comply with the request of his superior of
ficer. The warden says the demand was
made after consultation with the prison di
rectors and that Tharp will be removed If

tracted for.
