from Cbaul arrive at the British post,
on the Afghanistan frontier twic,
each week regularly. In the last re
port brought to the British agents nj
these posts there was no news of an,
actual disorder in Afghanistan but
the general situation in the ameor,
dominion has been described in all
recent reports as one dangerous
to Abdnrrhman's authority. This
has been attributed to the discomfort
among tribal chiefs over the amcer's
failure to distribute among them the
sums of money which the chiefs be.

at the recent durbar at Rawal Pindi,
with which to subsidize the Afghan
tribes. The chiefs have all along felt
certain that Abdurrhman was in
trusted with a large snm of money
for their benefit and that of their
tribesmen and they have chaied I'M
der the failure to get what they have
expected as their shares. II would
not be surprising If some of these dis
appointed chiefs should have resolved
to adopt murder as revenge upon
the amcer.

From Berlin il Is stated that Prince
bismarck In reply to an all address
sent to him by the peasant congress
at present in session at koesteriz ask
ing him to use his influence in securing
the adoption among nations of "metai-
ism, said he could at present give no
personal opinion upon the subject as
the entire question of metalism had
been submitted TO the examination of
competent authorities.
The Berliners and Germans Vener-
ally, are still greatly puzzled over the
mysterious death of Herr Interbock,
an eminent journalist. His death,
although at first regarded as some
what singular, was deemed natural.
Herr lnterbock was found insensible
on the pavement in front OF his resi-
dence at a late hour of the night and
was carried into the house and placed
under the care of physicians. They
found him unconscious from hemho-
rage of the lungs, and when he bled 10
death the doctors certified that he
died from hemorhage of dis
cased lungs. The corpse was
duly composed. the death
mourned, and the funeral arranged,
but, after the hearse had reached the
grave, and when the cofiiu was about
TO be lowered into the ground, some
policemen galloped up, stopped the
burial proceedings, and claimed the
body for an autopsy, on the charge
that Interbook had been murdered.
The scene was sensational In the ex-
tremo, and many women swooned,
but tho officers ofth law removed the
coffin and the remains, and post
mortem was held. This confirmed in
every respect the allegations OF the
police. They said that lnterbock had
died from injuries inflicted during a
| fight in restaurant which he was ac-
customod TO visit, and that on the
night proceeding his death he was
there, became involved in dispute,
and his opponent beat him until he
was inscnsible, then called cab and
had the unconsciousIma placed with
in aud dumped on the sidewalk in
front of his residence. 1t is rcgarcd
As very strange that none of the many
personal friends of the dead
man ever suspected that his
death was unnatural, and the
entire case has been worked out
voluntarily by tho police who, every
one interested Is low sure, will prove
the murder aud undoubtedly obtain
success in arrcaing and convicting
the slayer.
Princess Ida Dalghourki, daughter
of the late Czirs widow, has caused
quite social sensation in Berlin by
appearing asa public performer on
the violin in garden concerts and eX-
hibitions. Her conduct has disguised
her familyhnd society friends. The
princess las however proved an i'm
mcnse capi for her manager and she
never fails TO draw crowded houses.
She seems to be charmed with the
energy And excitement of her new
life aud declares that she plays III
public simply to exhibit her disdain
prejuHces of aristocratic life.
| Apropos of the German dispute
over the right of the Duke of Cum
bertrand to succeed to the government
of the grand Duchey OF Brunswick,
the Vossische Zeitung demands the
passage of law excluding all foreign
Princes from succeeding to the
throne in any of the German states.
In an elaborate argument for the
passage of such law. The Nossischc
Leitung points with especial force to
the Coburg-G otha cass i'll which the
Duke of Edinburg, il says, must be
excluded for the reason among 9th
r ers, that the succession in German
states cannot any longer be regulated
BY inviolable family laws but must b'
harmonized with the higher politica
aims of the German Empire.
