It in talked of of the most remarkable Case of Clyde Jekyll in the generation ver Ney had an excellent aide to Hia character he two Foremost in genuine work of Philan trophy and Charity and All the time As Wil son he was following 3 moot despicable career. Hia friends Bay that he is insane on a certain subject the comm of people looked upon him who not received a tithe of his Konerta. Id in said thas hid wife Teanda by under English Law she could not procure a divorce if she wished to As he Haa not been cruel to her personally. She is of Independent estate in her own right.

Perhaps if the Kaiser could have look at the Ganison of pans when reviewed the other Day by general Saussier he might be less anxious to court a conflict. The object of Tea review Wau to enable the general commanding to satisfy himself of the degree of proficiency and soldierly bearing of the troops under the three year Servie system now in operation. The men inspected May be roughly set Down As having had eighteen months Yarvice. Tha troops making total of about men being infantry took up their position in admirable order and their military Carriage was perfect. They were formed in a Square of parallel lines the infantry first bit query next and cavalry lab. Of general Sausner a Arri Val the whole Force advanced at Quickstep to about 200 Yards of the general Drums and bugles beating the charge and then predated arms. The general galloped along the front of the Large Square each line facing so he passed it. The bands played the Marseillaise. The March Pant Tenn took place. The troops showed excellent discipline and the service of the artillery Fennec itally attracted attention. The guns wed powder which quite deserves Iti name. Bismarc1c in the no Date Han pc for the of Bismarck in Bat his hold on the Polo of Germany is shown of the fact that the subject of Hiu election and future Esi Irso in the absorbing topic in Borlin.

It in also believed that in will concentrate around him a party and be Riner not so much to his personality a to Bie principle s that May compel the Kaiser either to assert the supremacy exercised by bin Grond lather in 1sg5 when King William advised by Bismarck ignored the chamber issued Royal decrees placing deeded Tande at the disposal of Hia ministers or to throw himself into the Aripe of the working Clasara no doubt is expressed that the Kaiser would choose the former Courte. Bis Marck will therefore be a critic and and is Ruoti Niht in the body of which he once die in Ted. As for the Kaiser it a believed that Bismarck s election will h Irry him into the War of which he is Mckee Vantly talking and in which he would Hope to achieve a military that would silence ii Taoism and opposition at Home. Treatment of wks1phalia miners. The government s treatment of the West Ift minors was not generally approved among the moderate social Etc but the methods taken to undue the Triko Are obnoxious to All friends of the working Man whether moderate or extreme. The of leaders was the first outrage then began a persecution of nil the Miner a who did not go to work the police making visits to their Homes on any pretext and questioning them harshly As to their it has been a common thing at Dortmund for a body of policemen to break into the House of a Miner at Midnight and pretend that they were in search of some fugitive charged with a triv offence. After ransacking the House and disturbing everybody they would depart. Strike have been arrested As vagabonds and committed to Berd labor and in several instances the police have actually been quartered upon houses under the pretext than an outbreak was feared. It is not strange that under these circumstances there have been occasional attn of violence on Tho part of the in one instance a police officer win took advantage of his office to grossly to Alt the daughter of a striking Quarry named was set upon Ond thrashed and compelled to Kneel Down and beg the Pardon of the girl. It is Zigni Ficano that none of the Partrea to this outrage were mole Terf the police apparently wishing to avoid a scandalous trial that would bring their conduct to Public attention. In another Case a policeman who pushed his Way into a House at Midnight was taken and bound by Tea inmate i and carried before his own officer on a charge of Nnoli awful entry. The officer made an excuse that won accepted by the chief and those who had taken him captive were severely rebuked. Spies along the Gebman Frontier. The Frontier towns of Germany and of France ate swarming with spies. Three were arrested in Filatz but As proof could not a obtained against them they were deported across the Frontier. France has the advantage As to espionage. Every German tourist in France is looked upon As a possible spy and his language leaves no doubt Ai to Hie nationality. On the other hand the germans can t Tell whether a traveller a a Frenchman proper it a native of the annexed they used to meet the difficulty by com Pelling every to drive an account of himself or herself. This is vexatious and Only adds to the detestation with which Bhe alsatian and Lorainer regard the German Dominion. It a said that the French resort to All sorts of devices to keep Thema Elvea informed As to Germany s n military plans and the Story is told that much consternation was caused by a notice from the War office at Berlin that it lady belonging to a lending family at Metz must be closely watched. The Young woman was known to be a favorite with a leading officer of the Gar and had been a guest it several balls Given last Winter by the officers. It Beems to have Heon the very fact of her cordiality toward the germans that excited the sushi the matter was reported to Berlin and invest titration followed leaving Little doubt that she a spy. Sho was removed to Paris. The chilian War. The latino advices from Chili by Way of Bue cod arcs state that in Leoceda a recruiting a new regiment for a vigorous conduct of the War and a preparing expeditions by land an3 sen for the recovery of the provinces now held by the rebels. It is also asserted that the situation Haa been much misrepresented and that Balmaceda has the common people with him the wealthier families siding As a Rule with the insurgents. Don Augustin Edwardo was selected for president by the party now in insurrection his bunk at Valparaiso Baa been closed by order of Tho government a horse shoe nailed Over the door and All the clerks Aud officials imprisoned elis imported from England it High prices for Breeding have been killed and eaten by Balmaceda a troops. Alarming news from Belgium. This morning s news from Belgium a quite the striking spirit is spreading epidemic and multitudes Are leaving work in every Centre of Industry. The army could not be depended upon in Case of revolution for in no other country of Europe a there Anch a close fraternization Between the people and Tho troops. The belgian Parlia ment has lost its Opportunity to Gam the popular Goodwill through a satisfactory measure of extended suffrage and the work ing Classon Are thoroughly aroused to an assertion of their rights Belgium is a Cluster of mines and factories and the protracted idleness of Large bodies of men is bound to result in disorder if Noo .
