EMPEROR FREDERICKS DIARY
CASTING DOUBT on THE PUBLICATION

PRINCE BISMARCK DENIES ITS AUTHENTICITY
EMPEROR WILLIAMS CONSENT NOT ASKED.
Berlin, Sept. 9I-Prncc bismarck has expressed
the opinion that the alleged abstract Of the diary OF the
late Emperor Frederick published in the Deutsche
Rundschau, last week is spocryphal. This view oi
the Chancellor given after he had carefully eA-
smined the matter published and was In re-
sponse TO definite question as to his idea OF inc
authenticity of the alleged abstract
The North German Gazette prince BismarcRs
organ) states that It Is authorized to declare that inc
abstract from Emperor Frcderick's diary was pub
ished without Emperor Williams knowledge. The
Gazette says: Judging from the rccolectons OF
the persons concerned the work contains such great
chronological mistakes and OF fact that Its
genhnencss must be doubted. 1t is impossible that
It's whole contents could have emanatod from En-
peror Frederick, have been noted by him while the
facts were f1csh in his memory"
Tho " POST argues that the extracts from Fred
erck's diary genuine, does also Professor Del
brucck. the late Prince Waldemars tutor The " POST
says that the North German Gazette must prove
the inaccurscy before its view can be adopted The
POST further declares that the theory that Empress
Frederick IS responsible for the publication OF the ex
tracts Is untenable.

IT MAY BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE SENATE ON

Washington Sept "a (special-The substitute
proposed by the subcommittee Finance for
the Dark BILL will be reported the full
committee this week. probably tomorrow. and 1t Is
expected that the bill and substitute will reach tho
senate early next week, probably on Monday or Tues.
day If there shall be longer delay, IL will be because
Of the inability of the Democratic minority of the
Finance Committee TO get its views" ready for sub
mission. 1t is understood that Senator Bech's advice
will be influential in the preparation of that docu
ment, although he not active member Of tho
subcommittee to which he assigned. BY his adj
mrers Mr Beck is supposed to be able TO sit down and
prepare tariff bill before breakfast any morning lie

day practicable. and proceed with 1t TO the exclusion
OF other general business How long the discussion
will last it is impossible to foresee but the Rcpubli
hope TO reach final the bill and substI-

Gratis. OF course, the previous question IS

By the consent OF the minority. and II they choose
