cisms Of Mackepzie's conduct OF the case
form the sole topic Of conversation. Tie
Ercuz Zeitsmg, In It's comments on tbs re-
port, overwbslsss Mackenzie With invec-
lives. To the question: way the German
doctors did not attempt TO save the royel
patient ffom Mackenzie, the National
ZcitknJ responds that according 70 Prusslan
principles their official position In The
trfgedy prevented them from making an ar-
peal 10 tue public; but they did appeal to
Emperor William while the sick man was at
san Reno, and one OF their number stated
the case 10 him without reserve. His Majesty
was deeply distressed by the recital OF the
circumstances, but answered my son IS
ffty-six years OF age, aud the night OF final
decision regarding bis medical treatment
cannot be taken from him."
Progressist journals, which are inclined
10 defend Mackenzie, point TO the fact that
there were eight doctors concerned In the
case who did not sign the reports criticising
Msckenzie.
The Bundesrath has prepared a reply TO
the proclamation issued by the Emperor at
the time Of his accession 10 the throne. Toe
reply expresses the fullest sympathy with
the principles epuncisted by the Emperor,
and promises TO give bis policy The heartiest
support.

MonOpga hela and the waters OF its tributaries
for the last sixty hours are again falling into
their natural channels. They leave in their
track scenes OF desolstion and ruin that have
never had their counterpart in the same To-
caliiies. From Pittsburgh to the mountain
IN Randolph county, w. Va, the towns have
been ravaged, manufactures inundated,
boats sunk, houses ard lumber footed
of. Fields with their wheat ia shock and
growing crops have been devastated, fami-
lies driven 10 the hills for shelter, and in
many instances the accumulations Of years

losses entailed by the flood will not fall short
Of $4,000, 600. large proportion OF which
falls with crushing effect upon the people OF
the thriving counties Of Mongolia. Marion,

xOBBED THE MAILS FOs YEARS
a Trusted Post-OGice Employee
Turns out TO be Thief.

A Detroit (Mich.) special says: A sensa
| ton was created here to-day when II became
known that late last evening Charles III.
Wight, assistant superintendent in the city
| department OF the pOst-O1ice and for thir.
| teen years employed there, had been arrest
| ed for opening and steslng letters contain
| ing money, and that he had broken down
and confessed. His stealings probably run
| back over the entire thirteen years Of his
service. lie began az lotter-carrler and was
RAPIDLY advanced, being general iavorite
in ana out OF the Office. He Il about forty,
married, and has daughter IN her teens.
The arrest was made by Post-Oliice-ID
spector Angus NJ. Smith. Late last evening
be walked to the rear door OF the pOst>oiiice
and called 10 Wight, who was there.
"Hullo, smith; what do you wantf" said
Wight, as he appeared at the door.
"Oh. nothing much. Postmaster COPELAND
wants TO see you"
Wight evidently saw which way the wind
was blowing and pleaded an engagement.
"Oh, but this is most impoItant," said
Smith.
"Well, suppose I'll have TO 60 then"
rejoined Wight.
As they got around TO the front there was
considerable excitement caused by a police
man chasing a plckpOcket. During 1t Wight
started TO run down the street, but didn't
getiar. Wight broke down completely, and
made a clean breast OF IT," But what :" II "
Is nobody will say. further than that ii is a
written confession OF theft.
Detective Smith SAYS that although the
amount taken from letters by Wight has not
been ascertained it must run up into the
thousands. He believes that Wight has been
Differing for years. The amounts taken were
always small, as wight never touched regis
tered letters. For the past ten years he has
thrown the department detectives OF the
track Of bis populations by advancing the.
ories and aiding them in sending decoy let
ters.
Last week the idea OF trying that game on
Wight himself occurred to Detective Smith.
