THE EMPRESS VICTORIA. Iko Is Sverpwhr. Grseat Witk Eahuasam ou Rer IyanpatheoM IUmloa. Banmjr, April 9.-Emperor Frederick pssed a good night last night. He arose early this morning and bade arewell to the Empress previous to her departure for , with Princesses Victoria, Sophie and Marg t, to Inquire as to the condition of the suferers by the floods. The Empress arrived at Posen this after noon. She stopped at other places besides Landuberg, where she was received by the uunicipal and other officials, and was every where greeted with enthusiasm. The Polish leaders have issued a manifesto asking the inhabitants of Posen to sink their national disputes and unite in welcoming the Em press. In reply to the deputation which set her at the station in Posen Empress Victoria said that the Emperor, regretting his inability to come himself, had sent her to examine as to the condition of affairs and to report to him. The pessons who have been prominent in helping the sufferers by the floods were presented to the Empress, who thanked them for their efforts to alleviate the distress among the people. The Governor of Posen met the Empress at Kreuz. Burgomaster Mueller received the Empress at the Posen station and pre sented to her the leading oilcials of the dep utation and the relief committee, composed of officers of the Second Hussars. Arch bishop Dinder and a number of Protestant and Catholic clergy were also present. The road from the station to the town was lined with trade guilds, carrying flags and em blems, the Landwekr associations and school children. The Empress drove slowly and was incessantly cheered by the people. She first visited the asylum, a large school house where the homeless are temporarilry lodged, and thence went to the Governor a house, where she took lunch. Addressing Councillor Jacobs, the (Empress said: "I commission you to express to all taking a helpful part in the present danger the thanks of the Empror and myself. The calamity that has befallen you arouses our deepest sympathy and we hope to alleviate the suffering as far as human help can allieviate them." Speaking of Kitsing, the Empress said: "The old steadfastness of the people of the Mark has once more been tried and proved. The Emperor is especially thankful for their conduct." It is stated today that Prince Bismarck has abandoned his opposition to the mar miage of Prip e Alexander, of Battenberg, and th Princess Victoria, having gained certain other concessions, and 1hat all the differences between the Emperor and Prince Bismark are now settled. The Emperor today conferred decorations on Drs. Howell and Mackenzie. Prince Bismarck and IIerr von Bennigsen, leader of the National Liberals, had a con ference today which lasted two hours. THE EMPRESS WINS. After a Long Conference with Dimark bhe Retiree Smiling. BERLIN, April 11.-In regard to the crisis there is only one important event. The Empress had a two hours' conference with Bismarck today. The high spirits displayed by the Empress after her return from the interview were hardly compatible with a rumor that the projected marriage is to be deferred to some remote future time. The whole affair is mysterious, an(d one is tempted to believe that some great surprise is pending. The rumor is still circulated that Bismarck intends to resign. While the name of Count Munster, Ger man Ambassador at Paris, is mentioned as his successor, it is stated that the Emperor's choice is Baron Von Rogrenbach, a long and Intimate friend of the Emperor. The Baron is 68 years of age. There now seems no longer any doubt that the betrothal incident was only a pre text employed by Bismiarck to bring mat '. ters to a crisis today. The Emperor, 'who is somewhat better a gain and took an hour's drive today, had a long conference with Bismarck. Roggenbach is said to have attempted to arrange matters between the Empress and the Chancellor. Trhe Post, the National Zeitung and other pa per's publish this evening, probably on a hint from the Government, articles advis lng people to give up sending addresses to Prince Bi smarck-Special to the Philadlel phia Times. SI,000 REWARD FOR A BABY. Stolen fronm the eideiwalk in Front of a Store in New York. NEW YORKx April 10,-Seigel & Co. run a dry goods store at Seventy-seventh street and Third avenue. Yesterday afternoon a stylishly dressed woman left her fifteen months' old baby in its carriage on the sidewalk for a few minutes while she wvent into the store to make a purchase. When she returned to the sidewalk, baby and car riage had disappeared. Detectives were at once engaged, and the following advertise ment appeared In the morning~ papers: "One thousand dollars rewardi and no questions asked for return of baby stolen from in front of Siegel's diry goodis store Apil 9. SIEGEL & Co., "Seventy-svnhStreet, Third Avenue." A strange feature of the case is that the names of the parents are not made public. A representative of the firm of Siegel & Co. was asked today If he knew who they were. His reply was: "Oh, yes, of course; but that is a matter that cannot comec cut yet." "Why ?" "Well, they are people of wealth. They have put the matter In the hands of pri vate detectives and have authorized us to offer $1,000 reward. The detectives, how ever, have advised that all names be sup pressed for the time." "Is it not rather strange that the parents do not want the newspapers to be placed naosition to assist them In finding their "Well, I don't know. All I can tell you is that they live between Seventy-fifth and Eighty-sixth streets and are wealthy. Further, if the baby is not found, a still larger reward will be offered."--Special to the Philadelphia Times. The Fetive Knight of the Orip.1 Do you know that there are about 80,000 oommercial travelers in the United States? Burprised to hear it? Yes, most people are when they are told of it, but it's a fact, nevertheless. You may also be surprised to learn that every one of them spends on an average $3,000 a year, or a total of $240,000,000. If you add to this their salaries, averaging at least $1,000, you have a total expendi ture by commercial travelers of $320, 000,000 a year. This is naturally spent in all p?arts of the country, but the hotels and rairoads get the lion's share of it. During the last ten years there has been a great chang in te character of the commercial traveler. The old Bohemian type has almost entirely disappeared from the road, and drinking men are snucoh more rarely met with there than formerly.-Jewelers' Weekly. "I UAVE UP TO DIE."

He Compels His Master, the Doctor, to (a11 Upon a Patient. (From the aridley, Cal., Herald.) Dr. Harris, of this city is the owner of a d whose remarkable intelli ce is wo recording in the histori an nals of marvels peculiar to this age. "Don" is a thorough-bred bird-dog, spaniel and pointer combined, and al ways at his master's heels when that gen tleman is at home. About six weeks ao the doctor was called to Blskiyou county and did not return until last lsaturday. "Don" was compelled to stay at home, and stuck very close to the house. When parties would call and inquire for the physician the dog would invariably in terrupt the conversation, and, taking hold of the caller's coat or dress, en deavor to lead them to the depot, at the same time barking vigorously. He would also be at the depot regularly every morning when the train arrived from the north, apparently looking for his master. The last week of the gen tleman's absence "Don" was at the depot upon the arrival of every train from the north, hence when the doctor got off he was met by a geiftleman who seemed too much astonished to speak. "How in the world did you know that I wanted you? Did you come purposely to see me?" he said as he greeted the physi cian. "Yes," replied Harris; "but I shouldn't have come here if the dog hadn't almost forced me to." Harris then ascertained that the gentleman had been at his house the previous night and left word for him to call as soon as he arrived home. In as much as Dr. Har ris had not seen any person and acted as he only to please the dog, the logical conclusion is that "Don" heard and un derstood the conversation the previous night and did that which his dog sense dictated. That the canine has pretty near as much sense as a great many human beings is further evidenced by the fact that he will, at his master a command, traverse the town in search little Joe Harris (aged 7 years) and com pel him to come home. "1'11E DYING ChIAMPIONS." The Augusta Chronicle is impelled to re mark thus upon the (lying condition of Roscoe Conkling and the filling strength of James U. Illaine: "The illness of lRoscoe Conkling in New York recalls t lie fact that another conspi cuous figure in national politics is fast fail ing, and that before the year is closed James U. Baine will be no more. Latest advices from Europe, through medical sources, leave no doubt that the Maine statesman is dying from liabetes. lie has lost flesh heavily of late, and looks old and Infirm. It is said that Mr. ilaine is i pressed with the belief tlint he is going to die, and his friends adnit that he has failed very rapidly this winter. In the past twenty years no men have had greater part in moulling public affairs. Each was elected to Congress during the war, and both made distinguished records in the up per and lower houses of Coigress. Conk ling was haughty and imperious, but learned, logical and cogent. llaine has been affable, popular, clouqent and mag netic. Naturally, they have been rivals and are now enemies, Blane contriving always to humiliate anl nettle Conk bing, while the great New Yorker has twice managed to block his rival's nomination to the Presidency In his party, and, when vic tory was almost within his grasp, threw New York State to Cleveland by the solid vote of Oneida. "Both are now out of polities. Blaine forced Conkling from the Senate, and Conkling knifed Blaine in the laust national race. Neither will ever resume hIs pla1ce in the councils of the party-where each has fought with giant-like abilities. It may be said of Blaine that no p)arty ever worshipped a man so closely or continu ously since the days of IIenry Clay. It may be said of C .nkling that no breath o'f (dis honesty ever attaintedl his nam'.e or clogg(ad his career. A statesman with Islaine's tem peramnent and Conkling's character might revive (een the dlrooping destinies of thle Republican party, which seems nowv ab1oult to lose the ab)ilities ot tboth and to be near its own hour of dlissolution. "'Whalt a leveller, w~hat power of peace making hais i mnpendming death! 'The two gladliatoirs have dIropiped theiir weapons and1( (easedl their hostile designs.
