Will Bhw xrelr KoslgnT The Cologne Gazette pahUthea the fob lowing: "Great excitement prevails in diplomatic circles in Berlin ever the possibility of the speedy resignation of Prince Bismarck because of the proposed marriage of Prince Alexander, of Battenberg, and the Princess Victoria, of Prussia. Until toe Bulgarian question shall have been settled by all the powers the projected marriage can only be judged from a political point of view, and on that account the marriage is on impossibility. "The German policy has its root in the endesvor to avoid anything that would be likely to arouse the slightest inducement for suspicion, and in the Bulgarian question Germany must, in accordance with the declaration made by Prince Bismarck in the Roichstag, remain a wholly disinterested paitj. As long as Bulgaria is in the question this course of action affords the only means of retaining the full confidence of the opposing governments. That eonndenca would be disturbed in an instant if the marriage should occur." Mnrrfeaae In A special from Faribault, Minn., dated the 6th inst., says: At 3:30 yesterday afternoon, this city, was visited by the most terrible wind and hail storm it has ever experienced. Hoofs were, torn oS from stone Wildings, signs were blown hither and thither, and dry goods boxes and empty barrels were sent flying up Main street like paper balls. There was nothing eye Ionia in the storm; it was mainly wind and hail. Coming from the southeast at the rate of sixty miles aa hour, it struck the center of the city at 3:S'2,- and continued in great violence for fifteen minutes. Tho first roof to go was that of lira. Hendrick's stone building on Main street, which was blown off to the rear. Others quickly followed, among them being that of Voltz Brother's stone budding, the three-story Union block, and the east portion of the roof of the church of the Immaculate Conception (Roman Catholic). The roof was also blown off the depot. A scuttle from one of the buildings struck a gentleman, name unknown, on the head, indicting serious, perhaps fatal injuries. This is the only casualty so far as is known. The plate glass front in the Union block and in li. J. Lieb's shoe store were blown out into the street. The new high-school and the new Rattan works buildings were alio injured, bat to what extent could net be learned. II any telegraph and telephone poles were broken off, snapping like reeds under the fury of the gale. It is estimated that the total loss will be $ 100,000, and possibly more. Crash on th St. PauL News baa been received at the genera! offices of the Chicago, kfilwankee and SL Paid Railway at Milwaukee, of an accident on the Iowa division of that road, three miles west of New Hampton, Iowa, by which an engineer and tvo passengers msn and child lost their lives. U he engine jumped the track and the first baggage-car and tender plunged ovei the engine into the water. About thirty people were in the smoker at the time, four of whom were killed, so far as known, besides the engineer, who was crushed between the cab and smoker. The fireman escaped unhurt. About twenty-live were wounded, none fatally. The belief is thai there are three more bodies under the wreck. A Peculiar Cremation. In the Delamater Iron Foundry, New York, six men were engaged in costing a large cylinder. The mold was about twenty feet in diameter and five feet deep. A board was laid across it and the workmen took up the enormous ladle of molten iron and walked ont upon the plank with it. The frail support broke and six men were precipitated into the mold together with the ladle and molten iron. Peter Barton and 3. B. Laurie were so fearfully burned that they cannot recover, and the other four wezs also burned, two of them verj seriously. Minor TutoKram. Jam A.

The boycott on Burlington freight came to an end at Chicago on Wednesday, says a special from thit ci.y. The strikes on the St. Paul, Fort Wayne, and Micnigan Central Railroads are ended, and toore will be no further spread ol the troublel which havo threatened for several Bays to demoralize the entire commercial interests of Chicago. This result was brought about through the mediation ot Chief Sargent, of the Firemen's Brotherhood. The awitenmen realized that the backbone of their strike was broken when the Michigan Central men returned to work. Another reason why they gave up the fight was the aueeeasful tnuufer ot trains msde by the St. Paul Boad. The s we of battle Was withdrawn and the strikers suod for peaee. Shortly after the close of the Michigan Central strike the switchmen, firemen, and engineers of the various roads decided at a crowded meeting that the employes of each road should use their own judgment about returning to work. The answer of the Burlington Company by General Manager Stone to the recent allegations of the Bock Island in connection with the suit for an injnnotion against the latter is a sweeping and comprehensive denial. Mr. Stone characterizes as false and reckless the charges that the Burlington inaugurated the recent rata war and precipitated the ensuing strike as a means of forcing its competitor into a general railway trust or close combination: F. A. Macy & Co., manufacturers of nmbnllaS New York, have failed. Their failure is atBibuted to overstocking and delays consequent on removal They were unnblo to get rid of the stock and meet maturing bills.

WAIfT THEIR OWN' WAT. - 11 1 1.- v - tha interoational , Woman's Council at Washing-tort City. -

Tbe Moat Ifatinguiihecl GatherLng of Woman Suffragists Ever Held, EalertalalBflr Addresses by Prominent Lenders of tho Mors neat' spBciAti wlitttiNOTON oonaEsroNDrnca.1 It InternittU&al Council of Women has boon in sesstai here during the week. It Was called by the National Woman Suffrage Association 1 of tbe United States to celebrate the fortieth Humirersary of to" first woman a -ricota convention. The cessions were held in Albaugb's Opera House, There were in attendanou about 2)0 delegates from National Woman's Bights Associations or kindred uocteties In this and other countries. About thirty associations of this obaBactsr wero represented in the council, which was probably the largest gathering of notable women in the history of this eon ti try, Susan B. Anthony called the council to order, EihabothCady Stanton delivered tbe address of welcome, and, after reviewing at some length tlie history of the auttrago -movement, she said : "In calling this connetl We anticipated many, desirable results. Aside from the pleasure from mutual acquaintance in meeting face to face so many of our countrywomen, as well as those from foreiim lands, we hoped to secure thorough national and international organh: it ion in all those reforms in which we are mutually interested. To come together lor a weok and part with tbe sami fragmentary societies and clubs would be the defeat of half tho purpose of our gathering." Mrs. Stanton made the startling announee. tnent tbat if tbe rights of women were liot to be obtained by just and fair moans the result would be that they would join hands with tha Anarohlsts, and the scones ot tbs French Devolution wonll be re enacted. This dread threat, when first uttered, was received in siSUSAM B. ANTHONI. lencsonthe part of the audience, instead cf being greeted, with applause, as were most of htr climaxes. But to the outside publio it would appear that the bomb has not been so quietiy received. J. D. Common ot Iowa, a prominent member ot tbe Grange, hail prepaid an urgent protest against tbe dissemination of such principles among the woman-suffragists. At the conclusion of Mrs. Stanton's address, which was oiten interrupted by appUuse, Miss Anthony introduced to the audience, in tho crJor named, delegates from Korwuy , Finland, Franco, India, Iroland, England, and Canada, liaeh was fleeted with hearly applause) to v, hich brief responses were made. The first paper of tha congress was read by Mary Wright ewall, of Indianapolis, on tho subject of "The Higher Education for Women in tho I'idtod Htutes." At tho conclusion of Mrs. Bewail' address Miaa Anthony introduced Pundits Ramnibai Sarnsvati, a Dative Indian woman, who was dro ieed in nstlvo costume. She spofco extompcrannocsly for half an hour upon the subject of -The Women of India," and rocoivrd the close attention of nhe audience. She said that- in tho olden times in her country women we completely under the control of their husbands and but low wero allowed to be educated,, and those of the Brahmans or priestly caste. Only a few were allowed any educational advantages. According totho teaching of thoir priest, an Indian woman could only reach heaven thrjugh comSlcte and perfect obedience to her husband, iuco 1078 at out half a dofea native women had graduated with honor from tho universities. Calcutta bad taken the highest ground in the education of women. A great chango is boiug wrought. iVliat India needed was women teachers. Mrs. Louisa Heed Stow 11 read a paper upon the subject of "The Typical Women of This Century." Sho sold that the typical woman of thto contnry was, in the earlier Kirtiou of it, seated on tho schoolbcuse steps listening to tbe reoitationa of the boys. She had left tho steps, ha 1 nearly finished her crusade against college dcors, and had not only entered tlie colleges and universities but had in many instances taken tho instructor's chair. "Tonipemnce" was one of the topics discussed by tlio council. Of course il iss Frances E. Willaru was the leading speaker on this suDjeor. one uau among her audience Senator and Mrs. Palmer, Sen ator and Mrs. Sahln, and a goodly number of other Congruasional peo ple, ami nor talk was warmly received. Miss Willard's hannieat sentonce was tliatln which she declared that tha arautina of woman's richts would in no wise raivrnr n-ir.nnn imneril tho baiminess ot ".he home circle, since woman carried with hoi wherever she went, under any and all conditions of Ufo, the essi noe of home, which was toheraGod-gtven dower which nothing ever cot-Id or wot.lil eradieote or oliiuinate.

Her Hiibject was Ccelucatitn," and ic the limited time at her disposal she only sou&ht to di tc-ss the social phase of it. The underlying vuuught, drawn from oxperlence of college life, was that tha j'irl umieh-r home wherever sho was, even amid books, and that no amount of educational training or culture would unroot theso home instincts. The women of tho West-were eulogized oven bcyon-1 their staters of the Kost. and a neighborly tribute' by Prof. Michaels to tho rsteem in which Frances E. Wilhu lis held met wtib u hearty response. LoonaM. Barry road a paper open "What the Knights of I.bor Are Doing for Women.

Mary F Eastman, President of the Association tor the Advancement of Women, began her able address by quoting from Oliver Wendoll Holnion, - messed are those who say good things for us." Bev. Amanda Deyo, of the Universal Peace Union, told of tbe movement which had given rise to that organisation. The society had, she said, twenty-fire branch circles Is tha United States. Airs. M. Louise Thoma i gave an account ot tbe famous Sorosis Club, its organization, object, and growth during the twenty years of its existence, Mrs. D. G. Croly (Junuio Juno) fo'lowed MM. Thomas, and gave a passing allnsfeil to the Sorosis, of which she was one of the original incorporators. Mrs. Croly sold that her first appearance aa a speaker was thirty years ago, whon by invitation tha attended a convention for the purpose ef diaouasing some contomplated change in the matter ot dress -a woman's hoopsklrt at that time measuring fonr yards in eireumference. Her own dress to-day was a braided rktrt of clay-colored broadcloth, with draperies of seal brown ottoman silk. One of Mrs, Croly's pt org animations is the Working Womau'a Guild of Philadelphia, whilh baa now a memberehlp ot 70 ). composed ot women engaged in manual labor Frances K. Willard spoke of the suffrage work, She illustrated her idea or organization at once in an object lessor. "Do you see tliat?" she said, holding up her open hand wita tha fingers spread wid-a apart. "And do yon see that?" and she closed her fingers and pnt her clenched fist Up in an attitude worthy ot John L. Sullivan. She went on to epoak of the power of taking hold of hands, the accumulating power of organisation. It took a great many years, she said, for women to come out in perspective far enough to have an International Conncil. Miss Anthony introduced Mrs. Marolla U. Hill, of Dover, N. H. Mrs. Hill is a little worn, an, 82 years old. She is bright, and her hair Is still black. Miss Anthony said that Mrs. 011 was one of tbe tint woznen to engage in organized efforts to elevate y ourrj women. Mrs, Bill represented the Free-will Baptists. Bhe spoke tor some minutes, telling of her denominational organizations, and especially those that helped young women, Tbe legal conditions ot Women were discussed at length by tha council, the ablest speaker being Mrs. Alloc Scateberd. whose address was on -The Legal Conditions ot Women in the Three Kingdoms." Mrs. Scatoherd is a delegate from Leeds. Knglau 1- Kho dividod her discourse under three heads "The Industrial Property Bights," "Itishts in tho Family." and "Personal Bights" and gave a fins address, which was listened t with interest by the andionoe, who were cecertiheleM Dot to the blush by her plain speaking, for Mrs. Scatcherd was mueh in earnest, and believed in calling s, spado a Bpade.. In. eniutteMtluu tha. different clauses of the English law relating to women, Mrs. Scutcher J said that previous to 1881, when the Married Women's Property act was passed, no married women could open or keep a bank account without the consent of her husband. Tbe address of Mrs. Lily Devoreux Blake, of New York, ou "The Legal Disabilities of Women" was an able one, treating of those things in America of which her successor spoke in regard to the English lawn. One point advocated was that when women transgressed the laws and were up before the tribunal to have justice meted out, thoy should be tried by a J udge and jury composed ot their paera women. Miss Alice Fletcher, who ia Speelal Indian .A goat under tho fioveri.lty bill, read a paper on the "Legal Conditions cf Indian Women,". hioh went to prove that tbo generally accepted ido regarding the Indian woman as a slave to be bought mid sold without rights or position in the tribe was a wrong ono. Miss Anthony Introduced a native woman, the Princess Viroqua, a Mohawk by birth, whose portly person was gorgeously appareled, and who rightly gauged her audience when brought forward bv saying that she knew they would rather look tb&n hear her apeak. Over a petticoat of black velvet, heavily incrnsted with crystal beading, was worn a short polonaise ot aoarlet satin glittering with a' border ot spangles atid dangling crystal fringe. Around her ne--k were ropos ot crystal beads. . whilo a giddy little yellow bow confined the loco of her corsage within its prescribed limits. Her head was innocent of ornament and with' its short, bristling, black hair looked like the broau sides of a globular doormat. "What Shall Bo Done with the Neglected Blch?" was the subject of an address by Frances E, W. Harpor, who wn proud to announce horself ot African parentage. Iu a idain worsted gown, without au attempt at fur-1 elow orornnmentationof any kind, th-i mulatto woman etood up beforo the crowded house and delivered her discourse with snoh telling effect that after the opening lines perfect alienee reigned. A clover view of her subject was stated whon she t&td that the chvs of persona to whoi:i her disc mrse had reference were those of -plethoric purse but attenuated souls."Another Interesting discourse was that on "Police Matrons," delivered by Mrs. Susan H Barney, National Superintendent prison, jail.

Among the eighteen dead wsro two women who were first gored la death by the bulls and their bodies afterward bnmod. The scenes in the neighborhood ot the bull-ring were sicke ning beyond description. Women and children, dbestiid pf their clothing, and coffering iom their burns, ran aimlessly through tlie streets and conld ncnrcolybo overtaken or collected by their friends. Several persons lost their reason from tbe severe mcatal shocks to which they were imbjected. The fire was incendiary. In tlie Clelaya' jail were a number of pr.soners army deserters, elc who bad obtains 3 permission from the authorities to nttend the ball fight They were accompanied by a stiong guard of soldiers to prevent escape, bat one of the deserters surreptitiously struck a match and lighted one of tbo diy mats, and in an instant tho side of the ring was ablaze In the confusion and excitement the prisoners succeeded in making good their escape, taking chances to eii'iot their ends.

On. every side is'! card the f-onn.-l of tbo wailing for the loved ones, mouri ing for those doomed to die ot s tillering, bj those whose wounds will not prove fatal.

Mrs. Mary D, Xowman Chosen for Mayor Five Women for Aldermen. Oskaloosa (Kansas) peelal.l Tha result of the election in this city, in which the Mayor and five members of (ho City Conncil, all consisting of women, were elected, seems to have attracted attention all over (he conn try, as telegrams are coming in from all quart!: asking for particulars. The reasons in the somewhat remarkable notion can to stated in a few words. There has been a vigorous kick from the law and older element in tha city on account of tbe lax manner in ?eb. former administrations have managed m 1nioipal affairs, oepeoially in regard is toe enforcement of lie prohibitory law. and so advantage was taken of the $twto law permitting women to vote aid hold-office in cities of the first, second, i nd thirdciass, and a ticket put in tbo field and triumphantly eleotod composed cf representatives ' of the gentler sex. Mrs. Mary D. Lowiaan wan chosen as Mayor, ai d the following radios were eleotod as members of the City Council: Hannah A. Morse, ' Sarah E. Batalsy, Emma Hamilton, Carrie I,, .lohcson, Millie Golden. As stated, these ar-a representative women, the wives of weU-kuuwn citizens who aie prominent Ux tuMness and professional circles.
