(OopvTigbted, 1887. by the Associated Press.) Berlin. Aug. 28. The visit of President Faure to Russia haa been very calmly commented upon in (Berlin, though there la a distinct undercurrent of uneaalnest, which tends to show that the newspapers do not believe what they are printing on the subject.

The opinion is expressed, however, that uhe czar has again made it plain to France that Ruas'-a cannot be dragged Into following a policy of revanche, and the conviction become aU the more widespread, as It Is Industriously pressed in every quarter, that France w'll relinquish the idea of revenge upon Germany and the reoonqnest of Alsace-Lorraine, euid will gradually become more friendly to Germany. Doubtless, however, the wlafa father to the ttiought in this case. An unpleasant surprise haa been created by the naval correspondents of the Kreus Zeltung and other conservative newspapers, as well as the correspondent of the Deutsche Zeltung Rundschau report ing the naval maneuvers near Dantzlc during the paat fortnight. They describe Uuo evolutions the German warships as tiarjjg been total failures, so far as quickness and maneuvering ability to resist torpedo attacks are concerned. The government will argue from thla that more cruisers are needed for the German fleet, and will urge the necessity of forming a division of cruisers.

The new chief of the navy department. Admiral von Tirpltz, pa.d a to Prince Bismarck during the week, and consulted the ex-ctiancellor on naval matters, espe-ciaily as to the need of a larger German navy. Prince Bismarck conceded the necessity of strengthening the fleet, but he etrohgly dissuaded ttie admiral from making mat the principal issue In tne reichstag dur-ng tne coming seaslon of that body. On the following day Admiral Tiroltx went to Wllhelmshohe to report the result of his visit to ttie emperor. It Is said on high authority oh at his majesty still clings to his lntent.on to force the reicheteg to grant much larger appropriations than have heretofore been made for naval construction.

But Hie center and other factions stubbornly oppose the prop osltlon, and the newspaper organs of those parties never miss an opportunity of ex pressing their opposition to ttie emperor's pet project. There a decided coolnees between the emperor aud the king of Saxony. The emperor blames King Albert for the latter's decision in the Schomburg-Llppe succession case, aa calculated -to destroy belief in the divine right theory. Because of tills coolness. King Albert has refused to be present at the army maneuvers next month, and has accepted nbe invitation of Kmperor Francis Joseph of Austr.a to witness the army maneuaers in Hungary.

The Investigation kito the recent derailment of the Hamburg express near Celle, which led to loss of life and the destruction of considerable property, has vlelded sensational results. The Ber.n detectives have asserted that the accident was due to a criminal plot In which at least five persons, evidently" fore gners. were concerned. Dynamite cartridges were placed near the tracks and lighted fuses were attached to them. The political police of Berlin have further learned that five anarchists, evidently the same five persons, left Paris for Germany a week before together and they were seen at Celle the night before the accident.

They made Inquiries regarding Emperor William's travel over the Toad. It Is now believed the plot was an attempt upon the emperor's life.

Stories of Ks Condition Have Been Confirmed. Late Comers Have No Hope Reaching Klondike This Year. of San Francisco, Aug. 28. Thomas Magee, who-Is en route to the Klondyke gold fields with a party of San Francisco citizens, writes the Associated Press from Lake Bennett, B.

under date of Aug. lo, confirming previous report of the terrible condition of the White pass trail from Skaguay, and relating the almost Insurmountable dirliculiles to be encountered by the gold hunters, who prefer that route to the more formidable Chllcoot pass route. He and his party left Skaguay on Aug. 10, with nine burros, and during the four and one-half days consumed In making the trip of forty miles to Lake Bennett, met with innumerable adventurt-s. Twenty-flve of their pack animals were bogged up, necessitating not only the unpacking of each load, but also tne lifting of the animals bodily, as the burros refused to make any attempt to extricate themselves when their small hoofs stuck In marshy ground.

Another trouble was the narrowness of the trail In places, which necessitated the unpacking of the burros and transportation of supplies by hand over the pass. The Magee party took a boat up from San Francisco In sections, but were compelled to leave It at the beach at Skaguay, as it was utterly impossible to carry it over the trail. At the he-ad of lake Bennett, however, they found a Arm of boat builders, who charged no more for good boats than would be paid In San Francisco They had orders ahead for forty-five boats, which would occupy them until Sept. 20, at least. Mr.

Magee thinks that the majority of the crowd now at Skaguay and Dyea will have to abandon all hupe of getting into the Yukon country this year, and is certain that late comers have no chance of doing eo. He also deplores the fact that so many would be prospectors seem to overlook the fact that once started from Dyea or Bka-guay food and other supplies are not to be purchased for love or money, as no one has any more than Is absolutely needed for their own purposes. He thinks that 5U pounds is about the right amount for each man, but eays that hundreds are starting out with less than one-half that amount, and predicts disaster for them.

President Mc-Klnley epent a very quiet morning at Windomere, Senator Manna's summer home. He said it was one of the quietest which he has had since his -vacation began. He did not leave the house at all and only a few of the neighbors called. During the latter part of the morning Colonel Richard C. Parsons, Ex-Secretary of State Taylor, Congressman Kerr, of Mansheld, and Frank Mason, United States consul to Frenkfort-on-the-Maln, called upon the president.

When the Hollenden Hotel was reached, the presidential carriages halted and the parade passed in review in front of the president. The president then entered the Hollenden and held a public reception in the ordinary. Thousands of citizens met him and trhook hands with him and every one believed that the disappointment of the preceding day was due to a misunderstanding.

In a few moments excited men and women, awakened from their slumbers, were pouring through the streets going In the direction of the Marine Dry Docks, which was found to be sinking, with the handsome steamer Albert Dumola on her ways.

Those who first reached the scene of what appeared imminent wreck were apparently appalled at the sight of the large white ship rapidly careening towards the land aide. In a few moments more the engineer of the dock, Mr. Frank Bach, was seen to rush through the crowd and down the long narrow bridge way extending from the levee to the engine room. Mr. Bach, with an energy greatly accelerated by the unusual excitement under which he was laboring, in a few moments had a sufficient head of steam up to enable him to start the big pump going.

By this time tne news uad oecome general and- Qries for -the superintendent of the dock were heard on all s.des, but as Superintendent Hymel was over in the city, there seemed to be no one to assume control or direct matters until Mr. Dan Tumey, a mere lad, appeared on the scene and in a moment mote was by tne side of the faithful engineer. Mr. Tumey, who is a practical dockman, real.xing that If something was not done immediately the dock and ship would go down, or be broken to pieces, and seeing that the sinking valves on the outer side had bteu completely pushed up out of the water by the ship's careening to the shore ward, gave Instructions- to tne tugs Corsair, Ei iioio and W. G.

Wilmot to begin pumping water Into the dock In order to counterbalance It and reduce the uneven welg it of the ship by affording an additional buoyancy. With the tugs pumping water in on one side and the g.gantlc suction pump ejecting it out on the other, the ship began to slowly right herself, and settle down on the blocks. As soon as the four sinking valves on the outer side were again submerged they too were opened and In a moment enough water was In the dock to straighten her up, and then It was only some ten minutes work to pump the water out again. Mr. O.

I. McLellan, who was telephoned for, when seen, said he could not say whet caused the dock to begin sinking, but it could have been the result of a tug rimning by and throwing a swell into ber, or that it could have been the result of a leak. "All I can say," remarked Mr. McLellan, "ie that Dan Tumey saved the The Dumols is Norwegian fruiter of about 1100 tons, and worth between and $50,000.

The beneficial effects of the removal by the recent extra session of congress of the discriminating duty levied cn Mexican vessels loading cargoes of coal at American ports is already being felt by Alabama coal operators, wbo have set about to build up a big coal trade in Mexico. The first step in this direction haa just been taken by Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company, who have forwarded to a special cargo of 500 tons of coal, which will be shipped early next week to Vera Crux for the Mexican Central Kall-ro-n I. An expert will accompany the cargo to introduce it and to arrange for the establishment of a permanent trade in Alabama coal in Mexico.

The existence of tine discriminating duty against Mexican vessels Imposed ny the United States gave English coal a decided advantage over the American product In Mexico. The removal of this duty makes Alabama coal cheaper In Mexico than the English article. The Alabama operatcrs expect soon to hare a big trade In Mexico.

Edmunds was known to have been wearing when he wss last seen In this city few days prior to the murder.
