Je Ft. 7:21" r. m. I Bismarck Sees Danger to the State in the Center Party Hope in tho Pope. Attempt to Blow Up French Canadian Salvationists at Quebec With Dynamite.

Gladstone and Parnell Thank Their Sympathizers in America Queen Victoria Visits Birmingham. Berlin, March 24. TheOberhaus yesterday, iu plenary session, began the discussion of the Ecclesiastical bill. Prince Bismarck made a long speech in defense of the measure. He said that, as regarded the question of religious orders, tho chief point to Ik determined was whether Catholic citizens needed the orders.

It was certain that Catholics believed in the value of the orders, and their sentiments should be satisfied in harmony with the legislation of the country. The State naturally had an interest in the good training of priests. Such training they could acquire as well at sem-inarius as at universities. The bitterest enemies of the Government came from universities, not from seminaries. Itef erring to tho law requiring ecclesiastics to give notice to the State of appointments, Prince Bismarck declared that ho had not attached special importance to this provision, especially in view of his experience that ecclesiastics who for years had exercised their functions under the verj' eyes of the Gov ernment changed their disposition as soon us they became Bishops.

The Government had not made too large concessions to the Catholics, nor had it given up any of its sovereign rights. Ho had neyerdesired a lasting struggle with the Curia. As early as 1875 ho had called Cardinal Antonelh's attention to the danger presented by the formation of a special Catholic political party, and ever since the Curia had manifested a peaceful disposition. He had prepared a programme of peace; to realize which he had now worked for ten years. Through tho pi-oposals before the House he hoped to obtain a last ing peace.

If that expectation should not be fulfilled, the measure now proposed could easily be rescinded. It was necessary that the Center party, which entered into relations with all the elements that were hostile to the State and Empire, be deprived of all pretext for opposition. It was out of regard for the unity of the nation and because of the dangers threatening that unity that he initiated the present Ecclesiastical bll, doing so with a full recognition of his responsibility. Whether or not the bill would lead to the establishment of a religious peace could not yet be known, as the leaders of the Center had placed themselves iu opposition to the Pope. No less dangerous than the Progressionists were the subversive tendencies of the lower clergy in whose removal the Popo and Emperor have an equal interest.

If tho Pontiff and Emperor were at one. the opposition of Windthorst. and the Center would have no further significance. In conclusion he urged the whole House to adopt the biil with the commission's amendment. Minister Vou tSorjsler then -spoke, after which the House adjourned.

livsTAum.r ovtkage. (jfEnEC, March 21. The city is all excitement over a dastardly outrage committed here last night. While the French portion tho Salvation Army were at worship at the Jeffrey Hale School Hall, an explosion occurred in front of the building and under a window from which pane of glass was missiug. The explosion completely wrecked the front of the build-in sr.

filled it with suicke and extinguished gas. leaving the place in utter darkness The inmates were nearly frightened to death, the women fainting and screaming and men rushing to and fro in tho greatest excitement, unable to realizo what had re- nliv When an investigation could bo made it was discovered that no person tiad been killed, but that two or three had been seriously injured. It seems almost a miracle that the building was not entirely blown to pieces and all the inmates killed. It is conjectured that the intention was to have the bomb explode inside the building and that it was droptM by the villain while ho was attempting to get it through the broken pane. The conspirators are believed to be young men belonging to the higher class.

GLADSTONE TO DANA. London, Mareti 24. Mr. Gladstone hns cabled the following to Mr. Charles A.

The Railroad Magnate Expresses Himself as Beta? Satisfied With the Appointment on tlie Interstate Commerce Commission Lawyers Wanted. Views of Other Prominent Bail road OfficialsOpposition to the Interstate Law Working Up. New York, March 24. Jay Oould was asked what ho thought of the Interstate Commerce Commission appointed by President Cleveland yesterday. He readily responded: 1 only know Judge Cooley and Mr.

Schoonmaker of those who have been appointed. Tho former I regard as in every way eminently fitted for the position. Ho is an admiral jurist, and i not without thorough understanding of our railroad systems. His selection is an excellent one. Mr.

Schoonmaker is also a good choice. Morrison, I believe, i an honest man. and will doubtless do his duty' -Do you object to the appointment of so many lawyers asked the reporter. 'Certainly not. I have perused that bill a dozen times and have not been able to gra.p its meaning.

Lawyers arc just tho men for the place. They will be able to get at tho meaning of the law and will sec that it is justly enforced. 1 think, on the whole, the President has done as well as he could for us under tho circumstances, and I Hin sure the railroad companies will be content. As for mvsclf, I am perfectly satisfied." What do you think of the President's appointment of Interstate Commissioners (M said the reiKjrter to Chauncey M. Depcw yesterday morning.

'They arc excellent, replied the president of tho New York Central Kailroad Company, without hesitation. "I consider that altogether hi choice is good. Judge Cooley I know is a capable man, eminent lv fitted to justly administer tho Interstate Commerce law. His connection with the Wabash road has also given him a practical idea of the management of railroads. Morrison is well chosen, too.

He represent the elements which demanded the passage of the bill, and which thinks that ail roads ore bad and should bo wiied out or stopped. At the same time he is a just man. and will. I lieltevc, do all in his tower to secure the proper administration of the new luw. Schoonmaker.

of our own State, is well lilted for bis duties. His experience as Attorney Oenerat will prove valuable to the Commission, and working of railroads are by no means unknown to him. Of Walker and Bragg I have little personal kuowledge, but from the character of the Commissioners that I do know I have reason to believe that in each case the President Las chosen well. tn the whole I don't see how Mr. Cleveland could have made better selections.

He was hampered by the fact that all tho leading railroad men are already employi-d. The growth of tneu capable of controlling great corporation has not oeen commensurate with the development of our great railroad system and gcod men are hard to find. I do not object to having lawyers on the commission. They are needed to cxplaiu the law and sco that it is properly and fairly administered. I know that the President tried to get some practical rccognixed authority in railroad matters." The general verdh of railroad mcu in this city seem to be that the appointments are excellent.

All agree that the appointment of Judge Cooley could not be Improved uoii. The fact that no practical railroad men wa chosen is not wondered at. It is well known that men well equipped for the control of railway already occupy lucrative and lite position iu the management of the leading companies. The fact that lawyers have been chosen is not adversely com muted upon. It is, on the contrary, the gen cral opinion that noue but men of legal training are capable of justly interpreting the law.

President Harris, of the Northern Pacific: What the people wanted was a commission made up of unbiased and able men whose opinions will be at once accepted as con clusive. Such men the President has ap pointed. The President ha done eminently well." President Huntington, of the Southern Pacific: The President has been fortunate in getting such men to serve upon the commission. It is a matter for congratulation all around th.t not one of the thieves and vampires who have been besetting the President has got on the President K. It.

Cable, of the Chicago, Keck Island Pacific, who is in the city for a few days, remarked that from what he knew of the commissioners by personal intercourse or hearsay, he was fully satis-lied that the board would look carefully after the interests of the people and at the same time be just in its treatment of the railroad. II. A. Porter, of Chicago, president of the Chicago Indiana Coal railway, saiti "We do not want an impulsive commission, and I regard tho appointments, a safe and wise." The Tithl prints a number of interviews with various persons showing opposition to the Interstate Commerce bill, and a disposition In some quarter to test the constitutionality of the law. It is stated that the opponents of the bill propose war and will fight the matter in tho courts.

The llrrnhl says: opinion on the street is that several great systems of railroads will consolidate and mtke such tariffs as will crush all lesser lines. It is said that the Pennsylvania and St. Paul systems, practically in alliance now, will consolidate, and these will consolidate with the Northern Pacific, giving them a continental line. It is rumored that the Vandorbilt system will also bo put under one management. It is now known that the Baltimore Ohio deal is the first outcome of the Interstate bill, and that the near future will see vast system Commissioner Fink, in an interview, gave it as his opinion that the effect on business would be that it will either drive the producers of tho far West to the wall or to the slow exports via the lakes.

"1 think the through lines will thrivo ou it, as they can make rates to the detriment of their local I raffle without material damage to themselves, if not to the ruination of shorter competitors. Mr. Fink's attention was called to a statement in a Chicago paper that Pool Commissioners Midgely, Fink, Blanchard, Richard-sou and a score of others would bo thrown out of a job and their places abolished. Mr. Fink said this was not true.

'-On the contrary, none of the commissioners are going out. There will be more work for us than ever. The object of the pool was not mcre-Iv poolinff-but the establishment of rates. Wo will have to make all the through rates under the new law and the commission will enforce them." Kidnaped Havaxa, March 24.
