LONDON, Aug. 14.-The Pail Mall Gazette
announces upon what 1t regards as excellent
authority that Empress Frederick, OF Ger
many, has finally conceded 20 the German
authorities the right TO her late husbands
papers, and assured Prince Bismarck Of their
immediate delivery into the hands Of the
proper persons. The reason OF her majesty's
yielding is stated 70 be a threat made 10y
Prince Bismarck to delay the opening Of the
late emperorls will until the papers should
be returned As the royal lady depends
solely upon the provisions OF the viii FOR her
future allowances, the statement possesses
elements Of truth which cannot be ignored,
since il is In the power OF the chancellor 10
postpone the opening and reading OF the win
indefinitely in the absence OF positive order
from the emperor 10 the contrury-nn order
the kaiser would be very unlikely to issue

Mr.. Michael Davitt has written a long
letter to The Dublin Freeman in regard 70
the fund for the relief Of the distressed in
habitants Of the Arran Islands He severely
condemns the present administration Of the
fund, which he eharacterizes as a Continuous
spoon feeding and declares that it has
sapped the moral fibre Of the people and re-
duced the majority Of them to a state OF
semi-mendcancy. Instead Of doling out as
sistance Ia such insignificant quantities as to
merely prolong the distress il is intended to
relieve, Mr. Davltt advises the necessity OF
increasing the facilities for employment, to
the end or allowing the people 70 earn the
bread they need, rather than TO accept in
charity only a sufficient quantity to keep
/ body and soul together.
