The Aged Emperor’s Health too Pre carious to Pormit of the Fatigue— The Meeting Would not Have Had Political Significance—Collapse of the Spirit Monopoly. Oyjiyright IRB7 by the .Yen; York Associated Press.) Berlin. Sept, 3. Much diverse specula tion over the meeting of Emperor William and the Czar will be excite*! by the an nouncement that the Emperor has aban doned his intention to go to Konigsburg. It was determine*! to day, after a long con sultation of his phyysicians, that instead of venturing to attend the army manoeuvres, it was urgent that the Emperor should return to Babelshurg. In accordance with this decision the Emperor and Empress and imperial court will go to Babelsberg on Monday. The abandonment of the Konigsburg pro gramme by the Kaiser has already created exaggerated pessimistic reports in France as to his condition. But the facts are that he is in his usual health, although he was some what shaken by his fall of Thursday. He rose this morning at his accustomed hour and devoted several hours to business,, CAUSE OF THE CHANGE. * The alteration of the Emperor’s plans is due entirely to representations of his medi cal advisers, who have all along been opposed to his venturing to attend the Konigsburg manoeuvres, which would involve great fatigue under the best possible conditions, and they well kuow that the Emperor, once in the field, passes beyond the guidance of his physicians, and exposes himself with little thought of the results. This hap pened at Kiel and caused a physical crisis. The most recent instance of the Emperor’s imprudence was at the review of the Guards, when he remained three hours standing and exposed to the sun and wind, but without appearing to feel any evil ef fects. Afterward, however, he was hardly able to be present at the banquet in the Schloss, and his fall after the banquet was undoubtedly due to increased feebleness arising from over exertion. When he re covered his feet, without assistance, he expressed fear that his doctors would take advantage of the mishap and make it a pretext to dis suade him from going to the manoeuvres. A communication from the Crown Prince urgently supported the opinion of the doc tors, and their advice was also furthered by representations from Count Von Moltke and Prince Bismarck. It was only after Count Von Moitke's visit to the Emperor to-day that it became known that the journey to Konigsburg was off. NOT SIGNIFICANT POLITICALLY. The political aspect of affairs will not be changed by the abandonment of the meet ing with the Czar. The official press has rightly insisted on a purely personal and family diameter attaching to the intendod meeting and that beyond indicating a tem porary relaxation of Russo-German jealous ies it had no political significance. This view was expressed in yesterday evening’s semi official Post , which supports the Cologne Gazette in declaring thatthe meeting would lie simply of personal importance, and that the furthest going concessions on the part of Germany would produce no lasting friend ship with Russia. THF. SPIRIT MONOPOLY. The collapse of the spirit monopoly ring gives intense gratification to the public, and 5 especially pleasing to the Progressists, who alone among the political parties de nounced the enterprise. The projectors of the scheme fought till the last moment to obtain subscriptions, which were first definitely fixed to be closed Monday, but the time was extended daily till Thurs day. During this period negotiations were resumed with the Bleicbroders and Mendel t solans, projectors, urging them to support the scheme if it was shown that the dis tillers were unanimously joining the spirit band, and the success of the project appeared probable, till it was known that besides Nordhausen, the Silesian distillers held aloof. W hen the project was withdrawn the 609 necessary adhesions were still awaited. The shares of the distillers companies have re sumed their normal value and there has been a concurrent and heavy fall in the price of spirits The discussion*of the spirit monopoly has led to a disclosure of the fact that Prince Bismarck is concerned In distilling on a large scale. He owns distilleries at Vargiue, Misdor and Wendisch Puddiger, the annual output ,of which is estimated at 600,000 litres. His interest in the monopoly led its projectors to ask him to join the directors, which he declined to do on account of his official position. The Progressists consider the fail ure of the scheme an Indirect check on the economic plans of Prince Bismarck. CONGRESS OF THE SOCIALISTS. The circular convoking the coming So cialistic Congress first appeared in the Korth German Gazette. Its publication was of great surprise to the leaders of the party, who intended that the circular should Le kept secret. The Volks Zeitung explains this miscarriage of the .Socialistic plans by ■lying thnl a copy of the circular, which imssl its destination, fell into the hands of the police of Leijisie, At a pri vate cons-ultation of tlio chiefs of the party held in Berlin it was arranged to plan the Congress so as to avoid prosecu tion under the .Socialist laws and escape the fate of the delegates who assisted at the previous congress at Leyden and Copen hagen, and who were prosecuted on tneir return to Germany as representatives of illegal societies. To the coming congress no special delegates for associations are necessary, as the congress is ostensibly open to the world, but the assem bly will express its right to exclude objec tionable persons. Official paper* recognise the skill of the speculations but ask wiiv, if the Socialists are so attentive to legality, they do not. head the congress in Germany. In reply to this question Herr. Rebel has written a letter in which he asks: “(.'an it bo supposed likely that the Socialists would ask the Ger man government to authorise a reunion where Socialist leaders will lie the sole speakers. when the presence of one of them suffices for the police to dissolved meeting.'' Here Rebel states that lie hop's to put the congress lieyond the reach of spies, besides shielding sharers in Its deliberations from the vengeance of the laws against Bocial lats, THE CATHOLIC COKOHJCM. The Catholic congress at Treves was closed with a discourse by Dr. Wind thorp, who declared thnt the Centre party was united in its convictions and aims os much os cv*r, and would renew all ita claims hitherto formulate*! in behalf of Catbo •hk.

MONOPOLISTS IN CHINA. The State Department Advised of the Concessions Made. Washington, Sept. 3.—Advices received at the Department of State from Tientsin, China, containing some information regard ing the concession reported to have been made recently by the Chinese government to certain Americans. It is stated that Li Hung Chang, the Viceroy, has signed the de cree granting to Wharton Barker, of Phila delphia, imd Eugene Demitkiexwicz, of New York city, sole and exclusive right to construct and operate telephone lilies at treaty ports of China for a period of tifty years. In their original memorial the grantors sought to obtain the privilege of connecting the interior cities with the treaty ports, but this was strongly objected to by the director of the Chinese telegraph, and the grant was refused. It is understood, however, that a proposition to unite the two companies has been made, and received the sanction of the Viceroy. ALREADY ON THE ROAD. The department is informed of the depar ture of Mr. Demitkiexwicz with the Chinese embassy for Washington, where they are expected to arrive during the present month. Their mission is regarded as of the greatest importance. M. Tai, the senior envoy, is an uncle of the present Chinese Minister to the United States. Ma Chien Chang;, his colleague, has been connected with the Chi nese government as the Viceroy’s gamen for many years, and afterward with steam ship conipanias running between China and Europe. He is highly educated, speaking English and French, and has resided in Europe for several years. The embassy bears a letter from the Viceroy to Secretary Bayard alluding to the long-existing friend ship between China and the United States, aud expressing a desire for an extension of the commercial relations between the two countries. Mr. Demitkiexwicz also brings with him, according to official reports, a form of charter for the Chinese National Bank, which has received the sanction of the Viceroy, and will be submitted to the Phil adelphia syndicate for approval. The en voys have fnll power to ratify any agree ment or charter negotiated. The party re ferred to in the State department advices has reached Chicago on its way eastward. DOCTORS OF ALL NATIONS.

Phil Armour Fought by the Under writers’ Association. Chicago, Sept. 3. —Formal notice boy cotting the Northwestern National In surance Company was issued bv the Chicago Underwriters’ Association yesterday. The boycott is the result of the Northwestern’s withdrawal from the Under writers’ Asso ciation. This withdrawal was at the dicta tion of P. D. Armour, who is a director of the company.

The pa rade of Sept. 27 will, he said, exceed in numbers and imposing effects any that has been seen since the war, and he character ized the reports which have been set afloat that obstacles will lie thrown in the way to make unpleasant scenes as simply false and got up by irresponsible persons for unworthy ends. "Every respect able citizen of St. Louis will, he asserted, appoint himself a committee of one to see that each comrade is not only made warmly welcome, but that during his stay here he will be treated as an honored guest of the city. This foeling, he added, is not only entertained by the people generally, but by all the city officials from the Mayor down. UNITED LABOR’S FOES. The Socialists Try in Vain to Break Up a Meeting. New York, Sept. B.—The United Labor party scored a point against the Socialists to-night. The Socialists of the Tenth dis trict, the Socialistic stronghold, got up a meeting at the Cooper Union and the big hall was filled. A good many Socialists were present, apparently with the intention of disturbing the proceedings, but Police Capt. McCullough, with fifty jiatrolmen, was on hand to preserve order. The Ger man flag was placed in the centre of the stage, and an American flag at either side. August W. Meyer was announced.as chair man, and he came forward and was greeted with cheers, aud a few cries of “Give us Bebevitcb.” Capt. McCullough there upon informed the audience that there 'should be order. He was interrupted by a man at the rear of the hall who was put out. Meyer was making a speech of con gratulation to his hearers on the largo num ber assembled, when I)r. McGlynn and Henry George appeared on the platform. They were cheered for several minutes. When Henry George came forward to speak the Socialists present did what they could to drown the applause. LABOR ON PARADE. 15,000 Toilers Show Their Strength at Pittsburg.

The Pigrht Between the Liberals and Clericals Growing' Bitter. City of Mexico, Sept. B.—The political tight between the Liberal and Clerical parties is becoming animated, the Maxi milian incident serving as additional provocation to the bitter attacks and coun ter-attacks in the press of the capital and interior. The Monitor (Rep.) had a remarkable leading article this morning devoted to the alleged plots of the clergy against Republi can Institutions. It says there appears to be a well formed plan to destroy in Mexico preaching of religions liberty, and charges that the higher, as well as the lower classes of the clergy, is constantly preaching a crusade against, religious tolerance as enjoined by the constitution of the country. The Monitor charges that ecclesiastical penalties are inflicted for reading the Liberal party newspapers, and tlxat recent acts of some of the bishops tend to revive the institutions of the middle ages. KEEPING OUT FOREIGNERS. It also charges that this intolerance dis- { day ml in the persecution of the people who lold liberal views is the chief cause of there being no influx of foreign immigration into the country, and says: "It is feared, with reason, that the clergy contemplate repent ing on Mexican soil the horrible atrocities of Saint Bartholomew’s day in France.” An anti-Clerical league has been i>stub lished in this city. It declares undying hos tility to the Jesuits, ail'd states its purpose to lie the emancipation of the Indians of the country from the slavery of Ecclesiastical rule, and compelling observance of reform laws. The religious controversy is likely to enter into the next Presidential elec tion. The Clericals seem bound to oppose the development of intercourse with the United States as favored by President Diaz’s administration, and tho clorical or gans all over the country show marked hostility to the United States and American institutions. leading Liberals sav that Ren. Diaz will be triumphantly re-elected, in order to show the American people that Mexico is opposed to a reaction and desires the continued friendship of her powerful and enterprising neighbor BUCKET SHOPS CUT OFF. No Chicago Quotations Over the Regu lar Wire to St. Louis. St. Louis, Sept, B.—No Chicago quota tions were receivod at the Merchants’ Ex change here on the opening of business t his morning, and when it was ascertained that the telegraph wires were not at fault, much comment and inquiry was excited. Later a dispatch came from A. M. Wright, of the Chicago board, to President Gaiennie, saying: ■ “We temporarily suspend your quotations to observe the results on Western and Southwestern bucket shops.” This was regarded as say ing that the St. Louis Exchange was furnishing those bucket shops with Cilia go quota tions, and it aroused -a deal of indignation and caused much hard talk. The suspension had very little effect on the business of the board, however, as private messages immediately took the place of public dispatches, and there was scarcely a lull in the trade. It is said that tho Exchange will take no action in tiie matter, but maintain dignified silence, and will neither ask for an explanation nor for a renewal of the quotations. CORPSES SPIRITED AWAY. Ugly Allegations Concerning the Chataworth Affair. Chicago, Sept. 3. —An Indianapolis, Ind., special says: “A railroad man in this city says that from statements made by one of the Toledo, Peorlda and Western Company employee*, who worked at the Cliatsworth wreck night and day until it was cleared away, he is convinced that 126 per sons lost their lives at that place. This railroad employe says he personally knew of that number of bodies being taken out dead, which were shipped away to various parts of the country os rapidly as possible. This evidence is corroborated by the state ments of residents of Peoria visiting here. They say that a number of young men went out to the scene of the wreck on the first relief train and remained all day. They stated on their return that they bad counted 110 bodies taken out up to the time they left, and that it was believed that several more had been entirely consumed in the wreck.

Later in the Day t e Bulls Take a Sober Second Thougrht and the Ad vance Brous-ht to a Stop- It May be Months Before Gould Gets Control, if Ever. New York, Sept. 8. —The news in regard to the Baltimore and Ohio deal, which be came known last night, prevented a great many brokers and operators from leaving the city last evening, and the attendance at the board this morning was unusually large for Saturday. The lirst sales were inaile amid intense excitement and some very tall climbing for stocks was indulged in, the result being that unusually sharp advances were made in the lirst few minutes. The temper of the room was in tensely bullish, and traders, commission people and foreigners all bought stocks along the entire line. There was some lit tle resistance from the but it was not until heavy realizations induced by the high figures began to take effect that any im pression was ma le upon the market. The excitement gradually subsided, and after a reaction, a firm tone, which lasted until the close, was imparted to the dealings. TUB SPECIAL FEATURES. Reading, Manhattan and Western Union were special features of trading, the ad vance in the lirst two being somewhat phenomenal. The oiienlng was very strong, the advances over yesterday's final figures rnuging up to 1% per cent, in Richmond and West Point The market was extremely active and prices jumped up very sharply, Manhattan rising 5 Read ing Jersey Central 3, and others In proportion. The reaction was equally as sudden, but the greater part of the advance was retained, and before 10:30 o’clock the market had settled down to eom parative steadiness, although it remained rather feverish throughout. Notwithstanding heavy realizations buy ing slowly advanced quotations all along the line, and the dose was active and strong at material advances over yesterday’s fig ures. The bank statement hat no apprecia ble effect whatever. The active list is invariably higher, and Manhattan gained 4Vt 2 , Reading 3%, Isicka wanna SV, Jersey Central 2W, Missouri Pacific and Western Union 3?/, New Eng land 3V£, Richmond and West Point 2(-j, Wheeling and Lake Erie 2%, and others smaller amounts. THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT. Toward the end of business the excitement, subsided, and the impression begun to grow that the lioiioHt to accrue from tlie contract was overestimated. Oue of the heaviest oiierators on the street said, after the close, that there was no benefit to be gained from the settlement except that which might accrue to tlie creditors of the Bal timore and Ohio. They are es sentially the same parties who have taken the preferred stock and bonds, aud it is simply a m&ttarof bonding the float ing debt. This may iiave saved the Balti more and Ohio from going into a receiver’s hands on account of the flouting debt, but that is all thut lias been done. As faros the telegraph settlement is concerned tlmt is further away now than ever. The Balti more and Ohio is now in strong hands, and will lie run in conjunction with the Penn sylvania and Reading for the benefit of the latter, and il' Mr. Gould buys the telegraph system it will ho on the syndicate’s terms, and there may ho a fight of years before a consolidation is mode. THE CONTRACT. J. Prcrrepont Morgan said to-day that the pieliminary contract signed yesterday was the only one necessary and that no otner would be drawn up. He refused to answer any questions regarding the stories that Mr. Gould had already nrrunged for the sale of the Baltimore aud Ohio system, but said that it was the intention to sell both the telegraph and sleeping car plants and franchises us soon ok it could be favor ably accomplished. GEORGE W. CHILDS’ TIPS. Philadelphia, Hept. 3.—The Public Ledger of Monday, Kept. 5, will contain the following editorial in its money article; “Ho great has been the apprehension for several months about everything relating to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad man agement that, ‘the street’ and newspapers have been almost constantly occupied with rumors of all descriptions, and so great was the Uistnist that it was not surprising that even some very patent improbabilities and absurdities gained a considerable share <>l belief.
