BERLIN, March 24.-The situation
between the central allies and Russia
remains unchanged, the only altera-
tons being those arising from the
visit Of the King of Roumania to
Vienna, which has resulted in a
definite treaty, under which Austria
pledges herself to resist any violation
of Roumanian territory
The Emperor's decree of March
21st, authorizing the Grown Prince
William to represent him in the trans
action of State business is now recog-
nized as tantamount to a creation of a
co-regency. Besides the published
decree another exists which gives
the Crown Prince William fuller pow
ers in the event Of the Emperor's
suddenly growing worse.
Regarding the real state of the EN-
peror's health it is difficult to obtain
any authentic information of his pri-
vate life. What is known is that he
is able to take daily exercise, and in
the orangery and heated conservatory
at Charlottenberg he receives family
visits and listens to the reading Of
official reports.
A medical consultation has been
held regarding the condition of Prince
William, who is suffering from gen.
eral ill-health.
Empress Victoria gave a court
reception to-day at which it was an
nounced that Emperor Frederick con-
tinued to improve and that he ie
stronger. His throat affection is be-
ing relieved.

A NIerciless Mother PoisOns Her
Three Children.

New YORK, March "a. - Mrs.
Minnie Lebkuenchaner is locked up
at the police station for poisoning her
three children. Two are dead, and
the other dying. The mother is also
suffering from the effects of poison
taken at the same time. She tel
pitiful story. Her husband died two
years ago. She had struggled to keep
her children together but failed, and
and they were taken from her and
sent to the Juvenile Asylum only re-
Gently. She got them back with in
finite trouble, opposed by pow
erty on one side and per-
secution of her husbands relatives
on the other. Work was failing, and
food getting scarce and she foresaw
that she must lose them soon, so she
decided to kill them. On Wednesday
she sent Anthony, the eldest of the
boys to q drug store with quarter to
buy rat poison. The boy brought home
ten cents worth of rough on rats.
Mrs. Lebkuenchaner stirred it in the
tea and dividing the draught into
three equal parts and gave it to he
boys to drink. Very soon afterwards
ALL THREE WE'RE TAKEN ILL.

stayed With them all day going about
the house without exciting the atten-
ton of the tenants. On Wednesday
night and all Thursday the little suf-
ferers lay in their dying agonies with
the mother lowering about seeing
their little lives ebbing out slowly
and surely. They begged for water,
and with the merciless cruelty of a
fiend, the mother gave them whisky
to drink. The two eldest drank and
cried that they were on fire. They
begged to be taken out in the back
yard and have the hydrant turned on
them, but their feeble cries found a
deaf ear. On Thursday afternoon
Charles died. Three hours later his
eldest brother breai he'd bis last and a
still younger, baby OF three, was left
with tho two victims of her awful
crime. The mother still held steadily
TO HER FIENDIsH PURPOSE.
She sat by her dying child until Sat-
urday morning when the little ones
grip OH life still refusing to yield, she
wearied Of waiting and went out to
tell tho police. his morning the
mother was committed to the Tomhs.
Before being taken to prison she
drew phot graphs OF her children
from her pocket and asked if she
would be permitted to keep them.
When told that she could, she shouted
excitedly, "They wanted to take my
children from me, but they can't do
it noW."
