THAT SEffIET.THE.ffI
Still Further Disclosures Made
by a German Paper.
BISMARCK 13 STRIKING BACK
The rriuee** <»r<an the Bringing to
Light of the Secret Entente Was Pro
voked hr Attacks Upon Ills Ad
ministration —The Breaking of Russian
Ties Due to Capaivi’s Action.
Hamburg, Nov. 3. —Prince Bismarck’s
organ, the Hamburger Naclirichten, re
turns to the subject of the secret Russo-
German treaty, its disclosure of which
has created a sensation in Europe. It
pronounces Prince Bismarck’s under
standing with Russia a brilliant achieve
ment of German statesmanship, adding:
•'We do not admit that a rapproche
ment with Russia lost all value through
the conclusion of the dreibund treaty,
nor will our allies share that opinion.
Reconciliation is not unknown nor un
desired by them. Ou the .untrary, it
has been noted with satisfu:non that
Germany always employed the Ru-sian
entente to prevent and settle differences
between Russia and Austria.
“Had Austria and Italy thought oth
erwise they would have made represen
tations on the subject during the reign
of Emperor William L This was never
done, although they were aware of our
cultivation of political relations and of
an entente with Russia, which, despite
all military preparations and Bourse
regulations, was never disregarded at
Berlin.
Motives of the Expose.
“Among the motives of our expose of
the Russo-German relations, all of
which we do not feel called uqon to dis
close, is the continual falsification of
historical facts by the Clerical and Lib
eral and even the semiofficial press,
with the dishonest purpose of making
the government of William I and of
Bismarck responsible for all present
evils, especially the rupture of the
former favorable relations with Russia
—a repture which certainly does not im
prove Germany’s position in Europe.
“Therefore we published the fact that
the rupture was brought about during
the administration of General Caprivi
through his unqualified refusal of Rus
sia’s request for the continuance of the
entente. Against this authentic proof
that the breaking of Russian ties oc
curred under Caprivi the infamous cul
mination of Germany’s policy under
William L cannot be substantiated. We
should have been proved correct had an
official and documentary explanation of
the truth been forthcoming, as in the
case of the Ems dispatch, and we even
now recommend this course.”
Ems Dispatch Explained.
The reference to the Ems dispatch
doubtless means the publication of
Prince Bismarck’s authority, upon the
eve of the outbreak of the Franco-Prus
sian war, of the draft of a treaty be
tween Prussia and France guaranteeing
to the one country its conquests and
permitting to the other the annexation
of Holland—a draft (which Bismarck
claimed to have) written by M. Bene
detti, the French ambassador to Ger
many, in his own hand.
The publication of that secret docu
ment, dated at the end of 1866, raised a
great parliamentary storm in France
and necessitated ministerial explana
tion. It was claimed in behalf of M.
Benedetti that the German chancellor
dictated to him those conditions of a fu
ture entente and then laid ftside the
draft to bide his time for its use.
WOULD PRAY WITHOUT FEE.
The Rev. W. A. Cuddy, an Evangelist, In
Washington After the House Chaplaincy.
Washington, Nov. 3.—The Rev. W.
A. Cuddy, an evangelist from the west,
is in Washington for the purpose of con
ducting a canvass for the office of chap
lain of the house of representatives.
Se chaplain of the house receives a
ary of S9OO per annum for delivering
a one-minute invocation at the begin
ning of each daily session.
The Rev. Mr. Cuddy, who first
achieved notoriety because of his refusal
to accept the salary allowed him as
chaplain of the Arizona legislature, says
the idea of praying for salary in either
the senate or house is wrong and con
trary to the principles of the Declara
tion of Independence, in that it has a
tendency to affiliate the affairs of church
and state. The Arizona evangelist is
willing to take the job for nothing.
“I am here with a mission from God,”
■aid Mr. Cuddy, “to help the rulers of
this country, and 1 me in to deliver my
message to them in person in Decem
ber. The devil has a tenacious hold
upon congress. If I cannot get at the
politicians and statesmen in the capitol
building, God will find away for me to
reach them. My first efforts will be to
wards saving the souls of our senators
and representatives. They must be
saved or the government cannot last. ”

Tliß ROMS TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 1896.
BRYAN IS ELECTED
So Claims Chariman Joies at Four
Ihirty.
THE BEST HEWS OF ALL
Republican Ex»r»vaganl Claims Arc Alto
s’ ther Miele i<lin« and Are Not to
Be Killed Upon.
The following bulletin was received by
The Tribune after our forms had been
made up this morning, but with a pur
pose to give the news hot from the wire
we have waited, feeling that the earlier
ones were incorrect:
Chairman Jones, of the National
Committee, furnishes the following:
There is no foundation for the claims
of the republicans at this time.
There is no reason to think that
any one of the states claimed by me for
Bryan has failed to vote for him. W h ile
misleading reports are being sent in all
directions, private advices as
sure me that each one of these states
have gone for Bryan. For two hours
the most extravagant claims as to Ken
tucky and have been tele
graphed over the country, while with
in the last few moments our committee
assures us that both are safe for us. Mr-
Bryan is certainly elected.
Frozen Mutton. *
The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is of inferior price to that of
New Zealand has a threefold explana
tion. In the first place, New Zealand
possesses today a mutton producing
breed superior to that grown in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zea l
lander feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the
Argentine the sheep are allowed to
graze upon the same bare pampas during
the dead season. The result of this is
that the New Zealander produces an
even, well grown carcass, while there
is sent home from the Plate one upon
which a hasty covering of fat has been
put during the spring months of the
year. The difference between the two
carcasses will readily be noted by any
one who pays a visit to the cattle mar
ker. Thirdly, the freezer in New Zea
land the mutton on account of
the breeder, and in the Argentine the
freezer buys from the breeder. The dis
advantage of the latter system, so long
as the breeder has no knowledge of the
requirements of the market, is appar
ent. The New Zealand breeder selects
his wethers with care, rejecting any
which will give an inferior weight or
which is insufficiently fattened for the
butcher. He remits them in small
droves to the freezing establishments
and takes every care that they shall ar
rive in perfect order. The Argentine
-breeder, on the other hand, makes a
contract with the representative of the
freezer to sell a given number, and the
latter binds himself to rejnove them
within a certain date. New York
Ledger.
The Mother of Seven Soldiers.
When Colonel Knox of, the Duke of
Cornwall’s light infantry acquainted
the queen with the fact that Mrs. Ke
veth of Garrow, St. Bernard, Cornwall,
was the mother of seven sons, all in the
army, her majesty caused the following
letter to be written-to Colonel Knox:
‘‘Her majesty considers that the fact of
seven sons of one family serving in the
army, all with exemplary characters,
reflects infinite credit on themselves and
on the parents who have brought them
up. The queen desires that you will
congratulate Mrs. Keveth, give her the
£lO and framed print of her majesty,
which I send herewith, and tell her how
glad the queen is to think of this fine
example of good and honorable service
to their sovereign aiyl country from the
sons of a single Cornish family. Her
majesty has kept the photograph of
Mrs. Keveth which you sent me and
would be glad to have one of the seven
brothers in a group, but if this cannot
be obtained, of each separately. ” The
photographs have been framed together
in an oval frame, that of Mrs. Keveth
being in the middle, and sent to the
queen.—London Graphic.

Unpublished Calhoun Letters.
A kinsman of John C. Calhoun, who
has recently visited the old homestead
in South Carolina, says he found thero
nearly 3,000 unpublished letters of the
South Carolina statesman. He quotes
one written to Mrs. Clemson, his daugh
ter, March 7, 1848, she being in Belgium
at the time in which Calhoun wrote:"
“I hold the duties of life to bo greater
than life itself, and in performing them
manfully and against hope our labor is
not lost, but will be productive of good
in after time. Indeed, I regard this life
very much as n struggle against evil
and that_io him who acts on proper
principle the reward is in the stiugglo
more than in the victory itself, although
that greatly enhances it. So stiong is
my faith in this l.+lwf, my dour daugh
ter, that no appu i-iation either Ly the
present or after time is necessary to sus
tain mo in struggling to do my duty in
resisting wrong, especially where my
countiy is concerned, although I put
high value on renown. ”
