SALUTING THE GERMAN FLAG. FORTRESS :MOSIIOK, Va., April 19.— Germany came in %vith smoke and glory. 11 was just. dusk. The warships had remained quiet for several hours. The crowd on the wharf and floating1 around in the double-decked steamers were wiving that the day would end without any more foreign arrivals. They did not see the great white ironclad bearing toward the Point, with another stanch warship following slowly iu her wake. The big Kaiseririf Augusta, with her two towering mksts,' three yellow smokestacks and long tapering ends, was not observed through the forest of inasts and penants until she

The Kaiserin Augusta •has nothing but big guns, and her salute of twenty-one guns to the stars and stripes over the fort simply shook the Old Point and jolted the water into choppy waves.
Boomed and Koared.
They boomed and roared until only the masts showed above the masses of smoke, and the Seeadler coming behind was forgotten and lost to view. Then the fort began to answer with twenty-one guns to the German flag, and as it concluded the Kaiserin, which 'had -come to a point opposite the Bl»ke, turned loose fifteen thunderbolts for the English vice admiral, and the'Blake Tetur'ncd seven to Capt. Buchsel of the German cruiser, who was standing on the bridge in full uniform [scanning :ithe roads and directing the fire. The Kaiserin fired starboard and port, fore and aft. She turned loose nil her guns, and in her tribute to the two admirals raised such a glorious rumpus that the disturbance made by theBlake

BUSINESS TROUBLES AT T.ANKINO. LANSING, Mich., April ifl.—The Lansing Lumber .company and the Lansing Iron fc Engine works, the former with a capital Of $200,000 and the latter capitalized at (100,000, and both tinder praotlcally the same management, of which Orlando F. Barnes is president, executed mortgages covering all their real estate and chattels Tuesday to O. M. Barnes. The mortgagee is the father of the head of the CQmpanies and has indorsed their paper to the extent of 8505,000. In addition to this ho is their creditor in the sum of 1136,000, and it is to secure this aggregate of 1701,000 that the mortgages are given.
Will Meet All Liabilities.
About two-thirds of the paper is held by the local banks, the Central Michigan savings bank, of which 0. F. Barnes is president, currying the largest amount. About half is secured by gilt-edged collateral in add'tion to the senior Barnes' indorsement. Having thus .assumed the practical control of both institutions, the mortgagee will, continue the business of both concerns, which he Will personally manage. The assets of the company, although not definitely ascertained, are estimated at fS00,000. To this Mr. liarues will add his private fortune of 11,000,000, and expresses entire confidence in his ability to meet the liabilities, which foot up #900,000.
SaTlngs Bank Closed.
The news of the execution of the mortgages caused a run to be made on the Central Michigan savings bank. This was met until o'clock, an hour before the regular time for suspending business, when, although a large amount of cash remained on hand, the doors were closed on the advice of State -Bank Commissioner Sherwood, who took immediate possession of the institution and commenced an examination of its affairs. This examination cannot be completed for several duYS, but the commissioners thinks the bank officials justified in asserting the solvency of the bank, and its ability to pay all depositors in full. He anticipates a resumption of business when the examination is completed.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., April 19.—The business community was surprised Monday to receive the news of the failure of II. II. Warner and A. G. Yates. Mr. Warner is the famous kidney cure man and Mr. Yates is a prominent coal man. He was one of the dealers recently tried for conspiracy. Two mortgages were filed in the county clerk's office both are held by the Bank of Monroe. The first covers the house of H. H. Warner on East avenue to the amouut of $100,000. The second is a blanket mortgage on the estate of A. G. Yates to the same amount. Warner and Yates have indorsed eauh other's paper heavily. Mr. Yates withdrew from the firm of Bell, Lewis & Yates, of Buffalo, Saturday, and his failure does not involve that firm. The major portion of the paper held against the two men is by New York and Boston banks.
Owes Nearly a Million.
The amount of Mr. Yates' paper ll nearly $1,000,000, of which $400,000 is due to Rochester banks. Saturday Yates retired from the firm of Bell, Lewis & Yates. It is understood the firm is no way liable for the individual liabilities of Mr. Yates. It Is said his retirement was taken so that the credit of the great firm of which lie had been a member might in no way be affected. Mr. Yates made a general assignment late Monday afternoon. Walter B. Duffy, the distiller, is the assignee. The cause of the embarrassment of either Yates or Warner ls"not known. Mr. Warner haa telegraphed: from Now York that he oan pay every dollar he owes.
CoSee Brokers Fall.
NEW YORK, April 19.—Thomas M. Barr fc Co., of No. 107 Front street wholesale dealers and brokers in coffee, announced suspension of payment Tuesday. There was much excitement on the coffee exchange when the notification was received and a panicky market followed. The liabilities may aggre* gate $800,000, but 'this amount tfill be considerably reduced if the principal foreign customers of the house make good their margins. The failure is^the result of the attempt to corner toffee by a syndicate organited about a year ago by George Kaltenbach, a rich speculator of Paris. Barr & Co. were the American agents and brokers for the bull pool. Kaltenbach, .after making a big profit on his earlier operation*, was at last being forced to sell out. 11 is associates in the pool had turned bears, and the price of coffee, after reaching high fig-ures-in both the European and American markets, began to decline. The bears have had control for some time, and for the last few days the price of coffec has been falling rapidly amid excited nnd heavy trading.

Downtrodden Worklnffineti. HlirsHKi.fi, April 19.-—The people have won their desperate figlil for universal suffrage. Several lives have been sacrificed and the country is still in a condition of riot, but it is hoped further bloodshed will be avoided. The greatest enthusiasm was displayed everywhere aud the people joined in a jubilee in honor of the great triumph which they had achieved. The. chamber of deputies, by a vote of 119 to 14, adopted universal suffrage, with a provision for plural voting by the classes owning propertv, according to the amount and situation of the property. Cheers within the chamber were followed liy prodigious acclamations from the enormous crowd that waited the result of the voting outside the chamber.
Disturbances occurred in several places during the night, but there was no concerted attempt to rebel against the king. The movement was directed entirely against the chamber of deputies and the ministers who opposed the workingmen's demands for the right to vote when thev reach legal age.without any properly qualification whatever. The king is in favor of a wide extension of the suVrage.
It is expected that the decision in favor of universal suffrage will have an allaying effect upon the popular excitement and agitation, which had been rapidly assuming the dimensions of a general insurrection. The dread1' of a terrible uprising of the people similar to that of the French revolution in its resistless rage against privilege and power had the effect of bringing the chamber of representatives around to the popular side. There is no doubt in inuny minds that had the chamber not acted pioniptly there would have been a revolution in Brussels.
In view of the action of the deputies, the labor leaders resolved at a meeting hold Tuesday evening to advise the abandonment of the general strike. At the same time they decided to issue to the people a manifesto against the Nyssen bill, which proposes the combination of plural voting and universal1 suffrage. The leaders will urge the people to follow up their victory by agitating unceasingly for universal suffrage pure and simple.
Police and workingmen had several encounters yesterday and six rioters have been seriously injured. Nevertheless, the end of the riots is believed to. be near. The decision of the labor lenders to abandon the strike has produced-' a general feeling of relief.
The most serious disturbance occurred at Hourgerhout. where the troops called upon a mob to disperse. Their demand was not obeyed and lie soldiers charged upon the crowd with, fixed bayonets. Four strikers were killed and fifteen others received inure or less serious injuries by bayonet thrusts.
