2 C. M. DEPEW AT HOME. LONDON IS A GREAT TOWN, BUT NEW YORK IS GOOD ENOUGH. He Fo-nd the Prince of Wales a Good Fellow, with a Respect for the Good Opinion of Americans, and Mr. Blaine in Robust Health and Having a Fine Time -Politics and Railroads at Home •nri Abroad. From the Sew York Sun. President ChaunoevM. Dopew, of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad, arrived home yesterday in the German steamship Elbe, from a four months’ study of royalty and civilisation in the old coun try. Hr. Depew went at once with Mr. Cor nelius Vanderbilt, who met him at the pier, to his office in the Grand Central depot and remained until 6 p. m., buckling to business and entertaining friends who called with equal ease. The first thing to meet Ills eye on his desk was a cartoon in /*uc/.', printed in his ab sence, and representing the Prince of Wales ami in arm with Mr. Depew on one side and Mr. Blaine on the other side, drinking champagne ami singing “For lie’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” Mr. Depew laughs as easily as he used to, and lie laughed at the cartoon, and then sai 1 seriously: “Why shouldn’t an American going to Europe see the members of royalty ? He wouldn't naturally go to see Americans, would he, especially such Americans as he usually runs across over there? Where one is admitted to the hospitalities of social life in the Old World it is an exceedingly de lightful experience. Then* is no hospitality more charming than that which is extended to a guest in the house of an English, Scotch, or Irish gentleman. Besides all that, it is interesting, to me at least, to study the kind of a man that grows up under the best conditions of social and political existence in the Old World. Justus i met and studied the old Kaiser a year ago, I met this year and studied the Prince of Wales. The!'' rince is witty in conversation, wherein be differs from many other Englishmen; he has tact, wherein he also differs from them, and he likes to stand well with America. He has never forgotten the re ception he received here as a young man, and he told me it was the finest ho ever iiad. He never forgets that he may become the head of the British nation, and he is anxious to be well thought of by 60,000,000 Ameri cans. He is a man of the world, and he lias many American characteristics. He can make an effective speech on any occasion, and he studies to say what will take with the audiences. The Prince is well informed, too, as to American affairs, while not one Englishman in a thousand has a chance to know anything about America from the English newspapers. He gains this knowl edge by seeking the society of intelligent Americans. All these things 1 learned and much more at Homburg while sitting with him over apollinaris and cigars in the moon , light on the terrace.” “How is the problem of home rule in Ire land looked upon in England?” “It is the sole topic talked about, where politics are talked git all. I was a guest at a great many tables in England, and almost without exception 1 was called upon to make an after-dinner sjieech and explain to those present the American conception of the meaning of home rule, and, most of all, to explain why Americans to a man are in favor of giving home rule to Ireland. 1 had to tell my English friends that wo are a cos mopolitan nation, and that we take deep interest in the home affairs of all who come to us from abroad lor lilicrty and in the pursuit of happiness. “Political feeling in England,” continued Mr. Depew, “is exceedingly bitter, more bitter than at any time since the repeal of the corn laws. Tories are kept in power Only by the Liberal-Unionists, while the re markable spectacle is exhibited of Irish and Libera! leaders speaking from the same platform. The Irish and the English dem ocracy have united. In many districts the Tories have lost three-fourths of their power, and anew election will six* a triumph lor the Liberals and bmne rule.” “What is the outlook for a war between France and Germany?” "France and Germany are shaking their fists at each other. Each nation has all the force in the army that can be gathered, and,they are prepared to go to war to-mor row, but neither nation dares to make the first onset. The truth is, they are afraid of each other.” Mr. Depew visited Paris, but he didn’t speak withenth iasm of the French capital. “Paris has ceased to be a centre of inter est,” he said. “London attracts the atten tion of the world at present. Paris attracts the fashionable people. I Jul ies go there to get dresses, but London is a cosmopolitan city, and at the tables and in the draiving rooms of the metropolis you are sure to meet representatives of all the civilized nations of the world.” “You met Mr. Blaine in Europe!” “Yes, in Homburg. Mr. Blaine is per fectly well, but, like everybody else who goes to Homburg, lie takes the water cure, and like most healthy people, he takes it to fet cured of the desire to get cured. Mr. ilaine, let me assure you, is not laying any pijies for the Presidency of fixing conven tions or arranging delegates. He is per fectly satisfied with the situation, us it takes care of itself. However, 1 presume lie feels as every good American feels, that lie could Bwt refuse so honorable a nomination if it should be tendered to him.” “And that reminds me.” added Mr. De pew. “that I have been mentioned, or ratio r there lias tieen some talk about me. in rela tion to the Presidency, apparently during the vacation term, but I have never had an aspiration in that direction. lam entirely satisfied with the presidencies wh oh I have held, and with the results already obtained in regard to both profit and pleasure.” Mr. Depew was inclined to laugh at the idea of leaving his present very comforta ble life forthe White House, and preferred to talk of other matters. He was asked about the Continental railway system, as compared with the American, and said: “No one can study the railway system on the Continent without seeing the vices and defects of governmental direction. Leaving out the enormous factor of political power, which hundreds and thousands of railroad employes give to a party in control of gov ernment, the governmental railway once finished is always the same railway. Under our free railway system n railroad is never finished. The railway which is owned by a government is managed by a Cabinet Min ister, whose sole object is to extract enough service from it to meet the obligations in curred in its purchase or its construction, and then at the expiration of his term of office to pass it over in good order to his suc cessor. He can’t afford to try experiments, <0 test, and finally to adopt or reject new inventions, or to build branch lines or side tracks for the development of new to oalities or mines. The enormous develop ment which is going on all along the lines of American railways has certainly no coun terpart in the French, German, or Belgian railways. With us, lietween proper laws for regulating railways and proper comtnis rions to see that the laws are obeyed, the railway corporation* are held to the exer cise of their legitimate functions, and ex tortion and unjust discrimination are made impossible. Rivalry lietween competing lines compels each railway company to offer superior inducements to secure traffic. Even if railway comjiaines combine and agree Upon a rate they are couqieded to secure their business by bettering their accommodations and their equipment. The result is that the best inventive genius of the world is constantly utilized in Ameri can railways, while on the Continent the railroads are 100 years behind us. You still find everywhere on the Continent the com partment, the light railway carriage, in which you are tossed about like a pea in a hot skillet, and a plentiful lack of toilet rooms. At railway stations accommoda tions can be lmd only for a fee. II you llave a complaint against an American railway you have recourse to the courts and the Railway Commission, while fear of traffic being diverted to a rival line com pels a railway company to listen respect ably. On the Continent you have a claim against the government, and any man who has had a claim against our Federal govern inent for twenty years knows what that means.” The subject of newspapers was suggested by the reporter. “They don’t have newspapers over there,” i said Mr. Dojiew. “Not such newspapers as we have in America. Englishmen know comparatively nothing ot America, or of i our representative men. In this country 1 you can't find a car driver or a laborer, if lie | has lived here long enough to become Americanized, who will not be able to tell | von pretty accurately what the row is in I English politics, and who their leaders are, with something of their histories, but in England you find even in their leaders the densest ignorance of what is going on over here, and who are our representative politicians. They know Mr. Blaine only as a jsjlitician who has hoen credited with tin* intention of twisting the British lion’s tail when he gets a chance, and he is looked at as a curiosity on that account. Mr. Blaine, Simon Cam cron, Senator Joseph It. Hawley, Gov. Alger, of Michigan, and other men were in London this summer, hilt they wen* scarcely mentioned by the London n* wspajwrs lie cause the pajiers didn't know what, to say about them. The biggest paper in London prints toil lines daily about America. An other prints twenty lines. I can learn more of London happenings in a New York news paper than in a I guidon journal. “Finally,” said Mr. Depew, “any Ameri can who goes abroad with his eyes open comes home knowing that in every element which makes life worth living, save one, America has infinitely better advantages than any country on the globe. That one exception is in the enjoyment which always comes from the treasure*,s of antiquity. A plndh which can’t produce on the other side plenty of objects, either artistic or histori cal, MO years old, lias no interest for a tine American.*’ MACON IN HARD LUCK. I3pn. Jefferson Davis Will Not Attend the Georgia State Fair. Atlanta has sent out the following social. When the managers of the Piedmont Fair secured thq presence of President Cleveland as the leading attraction they caught the managers of the State Fair, which takes place in Macon a week later, by the ears. Macon had to get up some counter attrac tion in order to draw a crowd to that point. President Northen, of the State Fair, was dispatched to Beauvoir to prevail upon Mr. Jeliereon Davis to make the offset. A Con federate memorial day was announced, when Mr. Davis would review the veterans. Other points in the South began pressing Mr. Davis to extend his visit. The Biloxi Her aid, however, throws cold water upon the statement that Mr. Davis will even visit Macon. As Biloxi is Mr. Davis’ postoffice town, and as the editor of the Herald is in a position to know, his statement is signifi cant. The Herald says: The following item regarding the Hon. Jefferson Davis circulated all over the United States, and has attracted a great deal of comment from the newspapers in every section: The Hon. Jefferson Davis has accepted an in vitation to attend the State Fair of Georgia, to beheld iu Macon on Oct. 29. A reunion of ex Confederate soldiers will be an interesting feature of the occasion. Some two weeks since, in referring to this assertion, Mr. Davis said to the writer of this: One of the greatest of my annoyances is the various announcements that l will appear in public here and there, made by unserupulous persons to serve their own ends. In addition to the opportunity this gives my enemies to make a pretence for partisan criticism, they mislead my friends all over the country. It is hopeless to attempt the denial of a newspaper paragraph when once It gets afloat. Now, this gentleman from Macon who called on me used most strenuous arguments to induce me to attend, and if my health was better nothing could give me more pleasure than the opportunity tnus afforded me to greet our Southern people. I told him plainly, however, that it was not prob able that my physical condition would per mit of this journey, but his insistence was so great that I finally said that if my health was such at the time of the fair to safely permit of it, and no uuforseeu circumstance should arise, 1 would endeavor to attend, and that we would advise with each other later upon the subject . From this very qualified answer has grown this positive announcement of my intentions, and given the partisan press of the North another opportunity to make invidious comment and manufacture political material for the ignorant and unthinking. Mr. Davis' health is, we regret to announce, not very good at present. While he suffers from no severe illness, his physical condi tion is not as good as it was two weeks ago. AN ALLEGED PRAYER CURE. The Case of Fourteen-Year-Old Flor ence Fishblatt. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 28.-—A case of prayer cure came to light here recently, which, if later reports bear out all that is claimed for it at present, is one of the most remarkable yet claimed in this city. The case is that of Florence Fishblatt, the 14- v ear-old daughter of Dr. E. N. Fishblatt. The daughter has been ill for over a year, and has been, her father says, partially par alyzed daring that time. In addition to paralysis she Ims lx*en a sufferer from spasms, which have reduced her to a pitiable state of weakness. It is stated by Dr. Fish blatt that his daughter had LcOO of these spasms in the last year, and some of them were so severe that blood-vessels burst in her body. Dr. Fishblatt has tried physi cians ali over the country, and es|>ccially in Chicago, where the case is known to*the papers on account of her having been treated at the Palmer House bv the profes sor of nervous disease from flush Medical College. Dr. Fishblatt came to Minneapolis nearly two years ago and tried many physicians or this city without success. Five months ago a council of physicians ad vised him that t he girl would live but a few' months and that medicine could do nothing for her. Dr. Fishblatt says; “My wife had at tended some of the faith-cure meetings and was acquainted with the facts in the case of the girl said tv) have? been brought to life in Northeast Minneapolis, and I resolved to try it. We have had prayers after tea at my house every night. Last night, we had pray ere as usual, and 1 prayed very earn estly for my daughter, and several others of the family did tin* sime. Then we were all surprised to see Florry get up and walk across the room. My daughter laughed and walked into the dining room. After a little conversation over the wonderful cure, I could contain invsclf no longer, and started off to see my friends. It was the happiest hour I have known for a long time. It is nothing but special providence.” The case has poitus of interest, and will, no doubt, be watched closely by those in terested for and against the faith-cure the ory. Mr. Hanson Will Get It.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. OCTOBER 1, 1887. TOLD BEFORE HE DIED. i THE REMARKABLE STORY OF AN AWFUL CRIME. The Confession of Convict James Young Made at Joliet How Mr. Allen, of Sandwich, Was Brutally Murdered. From the Chicago Daily Sens. Joliet, 111., Sept. 27. - James Young, lmi'glar and self-confessed murderer, rliod in the prison hospital lost night. He was serv ing a ten-year sentence for a lmrglary com mitted in Carroll county. Yojmg was one of the most remarkable men ever sent to ; Joliet-, and his confession of the Allen niur ; der at Hand wit *h, 111., in 1880, is a literary gem. The murder of Mr. Allen was a most, brutal affair, and for it William Thomas, a resident of Sandwich, was tri *d and sen tenced to seventeen years in Joliet. Thornes always maintained his innocence, and it is said his conviction was procured on doubt fill evidence for the reward offered. Young was taken from the prison to Sycamore, ar raigned for the Allen murder, pleaded guil ty, and was sentenced for life. The con fession of Young, as given below in his own words, is certainly a remarkable produc tion : “The plain truth is the most, mystifying thing in the world. It will fool the shrewdest men, and when they cannot find a reasonable motive for it they imagine the most ridiculous ones. It, has been suggested that my motive in doing what 1 have was because Thomas, or some or his friends, were known to me, and I counted on their help incase 1 got the man out and was convicted myself. Now, there is nothing more senseless than this. How in the world could they help me when they can't help Thomas himself? “Up to the time of killing Mr Allen I had never even won ruled anylsxly. I had very little regard for the rights of property, but to shoot a man dead at night in his own house was a oli max of villainy 1 hud never counted on. A pro fossional thiel is not so bloodthirsty a wretch as he is thought to l>e. To take life is the very last thing he thinks of. Then? is a door or a window left oi>en for a clean run, an 1, although he may threaten or strike a man. if lie gets a chance to run at all he will go through a third story window head first lie fore he will fire a shot. And again, even some very brave men, when they awake at night and find a burglar in the house, feel a little nervous. The burglar, it he is intelligent at all. knows this feeling well enough, and if any one should awake while he is in the house he feels greater security in this terror, which his presence may in spire, and in his legs, than in any intention to use a weapon. “I am setting up no defense for the crime of murder or burglary it is all horrible enough. What 1 have said is only to show that ev**n the worst may not be* as bad as they are painted. It was a miserable combination of circum stances that caused the shoot ing that night. 1 was not feeling well, and so went into Allen s house with my overcoat on something I had never done before. It was buttoned to the throat. I was standing with my back to Mr. Allen. I had looked at him just a moment be fore, and he was sound asleep. I had then turned and taken down the clothes pants and vest, I think with a watch chain hanging from tire vest. I had a candle in one hand and had taken the clothes in the other, without making any noise. 1 would have left in a second of time when, suddenly and before 1 could turn, Mr. Allen spoke in quick words—‘Ah, you are there,' 1 think is what he said. As quick as the word he had his arm thrown around me; the candle went out and we were in the dark. We fell over on the bed he on his back and me with my back on his stomach and his arms clasped iirmly around me. “Now. I could hardly remember afterward how it all occurred. As I have sud, 1 was not feeling well, the room was small and close, a handkerchief was tied across my mouth that was suffocating me and which 1 could not remove. “There was no time to think. I was helpless as a baby in tire position I was held. My part ner did not come to help me at first when he heard the scuffle, as he should have done, and I did not know but he bad left me. Then? is no time for reflection in a struggle like this. He was holding me and I was struggling to get away. I told him several times to let go or I’d shoot. I was nearly crazy with exeitein *nt, and it was simply the animal feeling of self-preser vation that caused me to fire the shots. “I was so weak when I got outside that in run ning I fell down two or three times. What fol lowed after this has been told already. That, Sunday night in Chicago I was in hopes the man was only wounded, and if such was the case I had determined that I was going to quit the business. We had to go to the ’Ames- office to gef a paper, and when l opened it and saw the head line, *A (lory Record,' and read the ac count underneath, all 1 can say is. that, although 1 was in the city and pertVctly safe, with as little chance of ever being discovered as if I were m another planet, I would have taken my chances whether it would have been five or twenty years for the burglary- if it were only in my power to do the thing over again. I did not care much what I did after this. I thought I could be no worse than I was. “In a few months I was arrested and got five years for a burglary in Wisconsin. That was in June, 1880. In the fall of that year I read of the arrest of Thomas for the Allen murder. I think his trial began in February. I read what 1 could of it from what papers I could get, and for the first time I saw what a deadly web circumstances and the conceit of human shrewdness may weave around an innocent man. “The trial went on. 1 did not open my mouth, because I knew there was a common course of reasoning which arrived at the strange conclu sion that the citizen of a peaceful town, where the incentive to crime must be small, who, not withstanding. will plan the robbery and perhaps murder of his neighbor, or maybe friend, is less a criminal and more f’©serving of lenity than the thief from the city, who perhaps never hoard anything but crime talked of in bis whole life, and who still may tire a shot in extremity. 1 knew if I said a word and went into court fresh trovn the penitentiary I would most cer tainly be hanged—and I laid not yet reached a point at which I was ready to sacrifice my life tor ast ranger. Still, I was glad when I read of the light sentence Thomas had received. I was surprised, also, for l read of how it was thought he had done the killing becau.se, leing recog nize Iby Mr. Allen, be feared identification. If such were the case I cannot see how it could be regarded in any other light than a mostdiabolic act to kill a man in order to save one's self the inconvenience of leaving town. Thieves never do this when they have the wide world to hide in from the comparatively simple crime of burglary. “in the feverish life 1 led the short time I was out of pr.son I completely forgot all about this. Then I was sentenced to Joliet for ten years. It was hard and I did not like it, although r had pleaded guilty and certainly deserved it. And 1 then thought: There is a man in this big prison <loing hard work, eating roars** focal, deprived of everything that makes life worth having, and suffering for a crime of which he knows as much as the dust that is yet to be created to till these miserable cells. I thought what a hell the place must Im* to him. "No one has worked this confession out of me; It has been voluntary. I wish to implicate* no one but myself, and that ought to serve every purpose. If you will not believe what 1 say now. and Thomas stays in prison, it is very likely the truth will never be known. But if, in the future, such a'thing should occur as the man who was with me ou that ni.-ht coming to the front, whether I am alive or dead, you will find that what 1 have told you is as true as the law of gravitation. I was never in the town of Sandwich before that night or since. I did not know whom I had killed till I reed of it. I do not know Thomas or any of kis friends. But I do know that he is perfectly innocent of the crime that he is in prison for. I know better than any one in the world, because I committed tlie crime myself. Very respectfully, “James Young.” BLAINE TAKEN ABACK. The Knightly Tourist Flies Into a Rage and Loses His Wits. Special Cable to the Chicago Daily Xews. Geneva, Sept. 27. — Mr. Blaine has reached here too late to meet any of the transcontinental Americans. I think the plan outlined in Scotland is being carefully carried out. The ex-Senator is at present neither meeting nor seeking anybody. His next rest will be in Paris. There Messrs. Hale and Garrett and many other friends are awaiting his arrival. ILs trip through the south has been very quiet. In Bavaria, Austria and {Switzer land be is unknown, and consequently he has received neither sdcial nor political at tention. He gdded along through one after another of the cities of the ancient s without greeting a single foreign admirer or meet ing so much as a welcoming paragraph in the press. The entire circuit was made with a rush which permitted of little re search and less reflection. Doing Nurem lierg in one day, Muuich in two, Vienna in two, and flying through Saalzburg. Inn spruck. nndYhe curious communities of the Tyrol a enquiries with only nightly pauses is a very expeditious way of seeing Europe; but such activity can be of no ma terial benefit either to Laxly or mind The truth is, and it is pathetic truth, Mr. Blaine wilts completely under quiet. Ex citement is his panacea for both physical and mental ills, and in no place does his dis temper become more apparent than while traveling; for he is forever bobbing in and out of the trains, changing compartments and fussing to his own scan dal and the dis gust of the guards. Going from Innspniek to Zurich Friday he was particularly unfor tunate. First, he was directed to the coach in which 1 had secured a compartment to gether with a German tourist All the other compartments were occupied in part and ho in sisted on having one exclusively for himself and family. lie was led to another, but presently the crush of travelers exposed him to intrusion, and ho besieged the guard again. Three extra cars were then coupled on. Of the rear one Mr. Blaine took pos session. Unluckily these coaches were des tined lor detachment at a station only a short distance up the mountain. Upon be ing compelled to vacate his quarters. Mr. Blaine once more remonstrated with the guard, but to no avail. Finally he re-entered the coach ho had been originally assigned to. I was getting a eup of coffee m the station. The German was exercising on the platform. Our com partment was peculiarly comfortable. It was advantageously located for si 'tit-seeing, at the head of the coach, and furnished with an angled observatory window. Mr. Blaine and the family walked in and complacently settled down. When I returned and found myself displaced I was really gratified to be of service to the party, for I would have long before offered it to Mr. Blaine were I not fearful less my motives might be mis appreheude I. The German, less inclined to make a sacrifice, was hanging around the compartment door angry and indetermin ate. “Senator,” I suggested, “if you will per mit me I will remove nty satchels so that you may have more room.” “Ah,” exclaimed lie, his face instantly aglow: “are you an American?” The pantomime pleased me. “I am,” said I. “And your name sir!” “Cowen.” • “()-o-h!” and his face became oblong with affected surprise. Mr. Blaine’s pretended discovery of my identity after three months of frowning ac qaintanee, after having pointed me out to his friends at Homburg. and after the Sav age club meeting when he thought to estab lish my relationship with the deceased Sen ator Cowan of Pennsylvania, was decidedly refreshing. While I was lifting my traps into the passage he said: "I am sorry to crowd you out.” “It is a pleasure to accomodate you. Sena tor,” returned I; and, after having made good my own capitulation, I induced the German to remove his things also. At the noon lunching station Mr. Blaine was pacing the platform, when I accosted him and asked: “Would you mind informing me, Sena tor, what your plans are for to-morrow?” Drawing himself up belligerently he re plied: “Mr. Cowen, I don’t know that you have any right to speak to me.” Inasmuch as Mr. Blaine had only a few moments previously accepted a favor at my hands I failed /to see the implied imperti nence. Though I offered no response his own words enraged him so that he lost his bearings and wandered about the train in a helplessly bewildered way. Two cars had been detached and the locomotive had cut off for water, changing the appearance of the train slightly, but not sufficiently to puzzle anyone. His coach was on the end. After having boarded a second-class car and gone through it he alighted and walked down to his own coach; but, decid ing that it was not the right one, hurried back the entire length of the train, crossed behind it, and paced down the other side, returned, and was vainly trying to explain to a German loiterer that he had lost his car, when, overhearing his words, I pointed out his coach to him. Uttering a half grateful “Oh!” he hastened aboard. There was something deeply touching in this incident. It sufficed to show me, as no other circumstance of my three months’ observing had done, the really enfeebled condition of Mr. Blaine's mind as well as body. He is a Madly shattered man. It is what. 1 have written about his health that lias especially embittered him. Nothing but his prominence as a public character could justify the discussion of Ins physical ills, and, mindful of the consideration due sensi tive sufferers, I would be one of the last persons in the world to maintain that Mr. Blaine was in a decline unless what I saw and heard from reliable sources convinced me that such was the fact.
