Erkenst da roieh nieht?" the poor King began . to . cry, then gesiculatad wildly, - and presently ran away to hide. but without a sign of recognition. The mother returned disconsolate to Munich and will probably never again see ber son alivePrince Luitpold'e aon. who will succeed to the throne, is a striking contrast to the man whose death will matte him Kins. He is a manly young chap, not pretentious as are the younger members of the Hohenzollera family, and he Its just astonished Bavaria by hi aoilitr as a speaker, displayed in defending the project of law for the improvement of Bavarian agriculture, of which he is the author. Loitpold, the Prince Recent, is a man of unusual ability, and. by the way, a the heir of the Smarts, would be tne rightful King of England should that family by any accident be restored to the throne. ritlNCK 1VH.LIA3I.

The Young Man Who May Soon Rule Germany His Training and Inclinations. Berlin Letter in New York Tribune. Prince William, the eldest son of the Crown Prince, and the future heir to the German throne, received the title of major-general as a birthday present from the Emperor, on Jan. 27. The advanced age of the monarch, and the frail condition of the Crown Prince's health, have eertainly bad much to do with the grandson's rapid promotion. Two years ago he is now twenty-nine Prince William ranked only as a major, and people in general looked with surprise at the slowness with which he advanced, yet all praised the thoroughness of bis military education. Innumerable princelings were then above him, as well as untitled men of not much longer service, for a Prussian prince receives bis straps at the aire of tn. He was compelled to work like the rest of his comrades, equally subject to military discipline. Early and late he was with his regiment, ordered about as an ordinary major, saluting his superiors with little or no attention in a military way paid to his royal rank. But all this is changed, and he wears now the brilliant insignia of a Prussian major-general. The Emperor appointed him by telegraph, be being stationed at Potsdam, and a few hours later he presented himself to his grandsire in his new regimentals, beamingly happy at his increased importance. Any hour may make him Crown Prince yes, may make him King and Emperor and the proud old ruler has at last thought it best to recognize this possibility, and prepare the young man for its realization. Yet Prince William is a young-looking majorgeneral. He lacks the prominent rugged features of his father and the handsome lines of his grandsire. The Hohenzollerns have do hereditary physical characteristics. Even Professor Virchow failed to find any cranial ones in his scientific examination of the ancestral skulls. They hare never intermarried, having the purest blood of all royal families, a custom which tends to preserve and intensify peculiarities. Prince William has the appearance of a young man of twenty-five. His upper lip shows a sparse blonde mustacne, his nose is slightly Roman, with a medium forehead, and his hair standa back like Beethoven's. But despite the comparatively weak chin, his cold blue eye has a brave, daring expression, which reminds one a little of the great Frederick, whom he is fondly said to resemble in character. He is slender in build, and shorter in stature than his brother, the "Naval Hobenzollern.'' His right hand is badly crippled, and his rieht arm at least two inches shorter than his left, a defect which has caused as much annoyance and mental pain as ever Byron's deformity did. He tries upon every occasion to conceal it, but tries, of course, in vain. Yet, the skill he possesses is remarkable. He carries his sword upon parade as well as any officer, and has become a most excellent fencer, rides like a Cossack, and shoots with unerring aim. No officer in the army Is more popular than this royal scion, and none more clever. No wonder that his men are attached to him. . He has a pleasant word for all, and cracks his jokes with the common man as though he were of his number. His training has been very democratic He attended school at CasseL boarding with one of the teachers, and treated exactly as one of the other boy. Taking his lunch one day be noticed one of his comrades eating the black bread which the poorer classes use in Germany. Wishing to taste It he offered to "trade" with the boy the son, I believe, of a poor mechanic who, of course, was only too glad to do so. It pleased the Prince's palate so much that he made an agreement to exchange lunches with the boy every day, and thenceforward he always feasted upon the black bread baked in the boose of the mechanic He was graduated after several years at Casael among the first in his class, to the great satisfaction of his parents, who attended the commencement. He afterward as is tha nobenzollern custom attended the university at Bonn, and joined the famous Saxo-Borussen Corp, over hose annual meetings he presides, and is as eager as any in relating the pranks of his student davs, and to-day one meets him in the streets of Berlin in civilian's clothes, mingling with the people like the "citizen king." The malady and suffering of the Crown Prince in the far-off Italian town have roused the ympatnies of the whole population, but definite hi3 popularity, desDito the way they love bim, it is safe to say that the majority of the nation spend more enthusiasm upon his son, look upon Prince William as the wearer of the mantle of Frelerick the Great, and believe him destined to fulfill the cherished hopes of Germany, further the plans of a Bismarck and Moltke, and cement the union of the fatherland. IRELAND AND THE POPE. Irish Claims Cannot lie Ignored Representation of the Archbishop of Dublin. Borne Special to the New York lierald. England and Ireland are bard at work again struggling for ascendency at the Vatican. Great bitterness has been caused by the apparent success of the Duke of Norfolk's recent efforts, and by the suspicion that Mgr. Agliardi, the Archbishop of Cspsarea, and certain Roman prelates are in the pay of the British government and are' giving information to the London, press. The Archbishop of Dublin, who had an audience with Leo XIII, a few days ago, endeavored to convince tho Pope that a conspiracy existed in the English press, fostered and supported by the Duke of Norfolk. He added that Mgr. Stonor and other English prelates were trying to obtain the ear of the Pontiff and per cade him that the Irish cause was, from beginning to end, an effort to destroy the pri ncipl4 of authority by that of revolution. The home-rule propaganda, it was asserted, was the overture to a separation, and Catholic Ireland would fall into the hands of certain American adventurers, affiliated to the secret societies of the continent of Europe, whose ultimate end was not the freedom of Ireland, but the application of revolutionary Anarchist principles in their most pernicious sense. A dignitary at the Propaga nda gives the following resume of their controversy: 'At the Propaganda," he says, "the Irish question is known to be givine the Holy Father the gravest preoccupation. ' Catholic Ireland by which Pope Leo means not only Ireland, but Irishmen all over the world is providentially marked out as a missionary of the Christian idea. Wherever Irishmen go they build achurca and spread tne gospwl. Tney support Catholio interests in two hemispheres. Even in England the priests are mostly of Irish descent. In the colonies the church would have languished had not the Irish clergy come to the rescue. Such being the esse, it behooves the Vicar of Christ not to crush the nationalist movement. The other side of the question, as urged by the Duke of Norfolk, shows that home rule is only another word for separation. The fart that Tenal laws no longer exist, and that every Irishman enjoys the privileges of a British subject, proves that there is no inherent principle of r ersocution in England's dealings with Ireland. Moreover, a party ha arisen in England, headed by Gladstone, prepared to take up the Irish question in the largest senie. Such being the ruse, and Scotlanu being a much an integral part of the United Kingdom as IMaud. it would be fatal to the interests of the Holy See and its Catholio subjects all over the world to allow it to go forth that the Pope is on the side of the rebellious agitation. The English side further sets forth that the Irish clergy are gradually persuading their bishops that the laws Upon secret societies do not touch the leap-ties which at preseut exist in Ireland, seeing that their members are practical Catholics, who frequent the sacraments of confession and communion, and go on practicing their religion while doing their best to disseminate home rule and nationalist doctrines. An Irishman begins to believe that he may go to the kacrarnmts with a light heart, and yet belong to organizations which not only come under the category of secret societies, but are undoubtedly affiliated to the sects of the continent The discovery of this fact by Mgr. Peraico has had the effect of driving his Excellency into retirement, and causing him to communicate with Irish bishop individually, ureing them not to put the Pope in an invidious position, and, above all, to remember that their pastoral J u ties come before all political crusades. In conclusion, the English party at the Vatican draw a parallel between the action of the Holy See in Germany and the influence for good between Ireland and Eogland. No objection can or will ever be raised against constitutional agitation. Ireland has shown that she u make her voice hoard at Westminster, but

the time has now come when she must choose between brain-sick political theories and the rights possessed by every man calling himself a British subject. GENERAL FORKIG5 NK1YS. England Does Kot Contemplate Military Action Against Venezuela. Lokdon, Feb. 20. In the Commons, Sir James Fergason, Parliamentary Secretary for the Foreign Office, declared - there was so truth whatever in the report that any military or naval action was being taken or contemplated against Venezuela. Negotiations had been carried on, respecting doubtful territory, between British Guiana and Venezuela, and the latter proposed that the matter be submitted to arbitration. The British government was not averse to the principle of arbitration, but were unable to accept the basis that Venezuela proposed, and negotiations were temporarily stopped in consequence of a suspension of diplomatic relations by the late President Blaneo. Referring to the New Hebrides, he stated that the French troops would evacuate the islands within four months from Nov. 16 last, the date on whioh the agreement waa signed. Custody of Trafalgar Square. London, Feb. 20. In the House, to-night, Mr. Graham, M. P.. who has just been released from imprisonment for connection with the Trafalgar square meetings, asked the Home Secretary if the square was still under the government's proclamation. The Secretary said it was. Tne Liberals think their Southwark victory was largely due to the government's action about Trafalgar square meetings, and the object of Mr. Graham's question was to use the same lever in the Deptford election. Rig: Reduction In Rents. DtTBtiiK, Feb., 20. West Clare tenants have secured a reduction of 30 to 50 per cent, in rents.

Conclnded from First Page. passed on through the town in its work of destruction. Thus, you can see that our train had an almost miraculous escape." An Appeal from Governor Oglesby. Springfield, 111., Feb. 20. Governor Oglesby received notice to-day that a thousand persons are homeless at Mt. Vernon, and this evening issued the following proclamation: To the People of the State of Illinois. A great calamity has fallen upon the city cf Mt. Vernon, Jefferson county, in our State. On yestsrdar afternoon a cyclone swept over that city, leaving death, devastation, and ruin in its track. Advices up to this time state that more than thirty persons were killed, one hundred severely and some fatally wounded, and one thousand of its oiticens are left homeless and destitute. A calamity such as this, falling suddenly upon a peaceful people at this inclement season of the year, must of necessity inflict serious and distressing loss and misery. Such a misfortune cannot but appeal to the deepest sympathy ot a generous public, and to that public, in the name of the whole people of the State. I, without hesitation, at. peal for immediate aid and encouragement, it is well known that the General Assembly places'no appropriation at the disposal of the executive to be used on occasions like this. I therefore request Mayors of cities and all religious and charitable associations, societies and organizations to lend a helping hand in this hour of sorrow and distress by assisting in raising contributions for the relief of those people. All subscriptions in money or other supplies will be forwarded to G. W. Eva&s, chairman of the local finance committee, Mt. Vernon, Jefferson county, Illinois. Solar Disturbances. Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 20. The recurrence of a solar disturbance which first appeared on Dec 3 and 4. is reported by IL C Maine.

THE FIRE RECORD. Burning; of an Anderson Manufactory, Involving a Lost of S25.000. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Anderson, Ind,, Feb. 20. A disastrous fire occurred here last night which caused the destruction of the large manufacturing and mercantile establishment of I. C Fisher. The fire was discovered near midnight in an apartment adjoining the engine-room, and when first seen had gained considerable headway. It spread rapidly, owing to the inflammable nature of the material with which the buildings were filled, aud, notwithstanding the quick response of the fire department and their vigorous efforts, soon enveloped the entire structure, and by 1 o'clock had laid it in ruins. The buildings were in the central part of the city and covered an area of 72x216 feet. A room on the first floor, 3Gx80 feet, was occupied as a hardware and stove store. The balance of the building was used as a factory for the manufacture of grain cradles aod scythe snaths. The buildings were of brick, two stories in height, and covered with a tin roof. Tte factory had been running full all winter, and was filled with manufactured goods. The business has been prosperous for years and has always been regarded as one of Anderson's solid industries, and the factory was the largest of its kind in the world. About forty hands were employed in the different departments, and these are almost all skilled men. They will be thrown out of employment by the disaster. A valuation of the property taken a few days since showed the real estate and 6tock worth $37,000. The grounds with the wreck of the buildings are probably worth $12,000, leaving a loss of $25,000, partially covered by insurance as follows: Underwriters, on bu ildings. ... $3, OOO Niagara of New York, on tools and hardware. 2.oOO Niagara of New York, on stock. ... . 1,000 Queen of Liverpool, on stock 2, OOO America Fire of Philadelphia 2,500 Germania of New York 3, OOO Fireman's Fund of California 1,000 Fire Association of Philadelphia 2,000 Total.... $15,000 The net loss will be &t least $10,000. Mr. Fisher is an enterprising citizen and has a large and reliable trade in his goods. He will probably rebuild his factory in the outskirts of the cy. on the line of two or more railroads, as his business had already outgrown his location, and his lots so centrally located have becouie quite valuable on account of the rapid growth of the city and business enterprises here.

ANOTHER STBIKE PK0BABLE

The Reading Miners Resume Work in a Majority of the Company's Collieries, Bat Claim that the Corporation Has Already Violated Its Agreement, and the Strike May Ea Renewed Other News. Shenandoah, Pa., Feb. 20. There was a general resumption of work at the Reading collieries this morning. Indications point, however, to the men going on a strike again in a day or two, the company having already, as they claim, broken its agreement not to victimize the men. This, they say, was done in a general discharge of engineers and others who refused to hoist or handle coal during the late effort to "scab" the collieries. Five engineers, a boss loader and two top men were discharged at West Shenandoah, two miners at Shenandoah and two pitmen at Kochinoo, and two others are on the list. At Mahanoy City, over one hundred men were discharged to-day and the feeling there is in every sense bordering on riot. Philadelphia, Feb. 20. Master Workman Lewis, who is in charge of the Reading miners' strike, and who ordered a resumption of work this morning, has to-day received telegrams from the roaster workmen at Shenandoah and Middleport declaring that certain of the strikers are -being discriminated against, and are not allowed to return. Mr. Lewis says he will investigate the matter, and, if the facts are as 6tated, and he has no doubt they are, the strike will be resumed inside of three days, and will include not only every miner in the Schuylkill region, but engineers, firemen, pumpmen, and everybody else employed about the mines, both above and below ground. Split in a Trade and Labor Assembly. Chicago, Feb. 20. The Socialists and conservatives, under the respective leaderships of T. J. Morgan and Mark L. Crawford, succeeded in turning the trade and labor assembly into a bear garden last evening. The fight was precipitated by the committee on organization. P. H. McLogan, as chairman of the special committee, reported against the admission of the delegates from the Central Labor Union (socialistic.) He said that the union was antagonistic to the trades assembly, that it was a political organization, and that its delegates were not entitled to admission. The committee on organization took opposite grounds. Crawford made a bitter attack upon the Central Labor Union, and declared that the trades assembly had nothing in common with them. McLogan said the members of the Central Labor Union were nearly all Socialists and Anarchists, who desired to capture the trades assembly for political purposes. T. J. Morgan jumped on McLoeau, accused him of selling himself to the Democrats for $5 a day as an employe in the election commissioners' office,' and made other unpleasant charges. McLogan shouted that the Central Labor Union had insulted the American flag, and whs gr eted with a storm of hisses and groans. "I hate socialism." said Crawford; "it is opposed to the teachings of Christianity. Socialism will ruia the trades assembly." Richard Powers, of the Seamen's Union, said: "I'll tell you, gentlemen, when men hiss and groan at tne mention of the American flag it's time something was done. Hisses and cheers. A man who will do that is a traitor yelU, and should be treated as such." Great excitement ensued for about five minutes, during which the delegates yelled, hissed, stormed, waved bats, umbrellas, or whatever else was convenient. The chairman in vain kept up an incessant rapping for order. Powers continued, and said that if the Central Labor Union was admitted tha conservatives would withdraw. Finally, after much tumult, "the question of admitting the delegates was put, and the Socialists won by a large majority. A split in the Trades and Labor Assembly is now inevitable. The Strikers' Side of the Inquiry. Pottsville, Pa., Feb. 20. The congressional committee engaged in investigating the Reading railroaders' and miners' strike began its hearing here this morning. The first witness was Joseph Cahiil, secretary of the executive committee of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad employes' joint convention. He testified at great length, detailing the grievances which led up to the strike, etc., going over the ground substantially as covered by the Knights of Labor witnesses at the hearing in Philadelphia. The only new point of interest brought out was to the effect that the Reading company had agreed not to do anything to prejudice the interests of the men in the Lehigh region who were striking for an advance of wages. The witness had traced shipments of coal from the Reading mines, shipped in such an unusual way that he became conyined that it was intended to be supplied to the customers of the Lehigh operators, in order to enable them to stand out against the strikers. The coal which the men refused to load on Eckley Bros.' barges was, he believed, intended for the Lebiph operators. In this and other ways the Reading company had forced the men to strike and had broken faith with them. The Demand for a 15 Per Cent. Advance. Scranton, Pa., Feb. 20. District Assembly 16, K. of L.. assembled in this city this afternoon to hear the answers of the coal operators of a demand for an advance of 15 per cent, in the wases of the miners in the Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys.

After an extended discussion the whole matter was referred to the district executive board to "strike or not strike." The action of the employes at several of the collieries of the Delaware, Lackawanna &Western, who have passed resolutions deprecating the demand of an advance in wage, war -nounced in a number of speeshes made bj delegates.
