his practice in the Supreme Court of the
United Strtes Fuller has frequently
come in contact with Edmunds, Thur

greatest of them. He is familiar with
the decisions of the Court, and especially
on all constitutional questions.
The German Emperor
A dispatch from Berlin, May 4th, says
the Emperor was less feverish this even
ing. His present favorable symptoms
give grounds to hope that he will over
come the weakness remaining from the
recent crisis. The weakness especially
affects his lungs. The weather still pre-
vents his taking outdoor exercise. The
"Vossische Zeitung" says it has learned
from reliable source that the local
disease in the Emperor's throat has in
creased but little since the Emperor left
San Reno. The Emperor dined this
evening with the Crown Prince and
Princess, the Empress, and his three
daughters. No further bulletins will be

Ireland have warned their priests that
if the Pope's rescript against the Ma
tional League is read In the chapels

The "Freeman's journal says Par

ment at the Eighty Club dinner on the

agrarian movement in Ireland may be
conducted with sufficient effect without
collision with the religious feeling of
Irishmen.
British Army and Navy
In the House of Commons May 4th
Smith, Government leader, replying to
a question by Lord Charles Bereford re-

condition was desired; therefore a COM
mission would be appointed, with Lord
Harrington as president, to report upon
the civil and professional administration
of both services and their relations to
each other and to the Treasury, and
economy and proficiency.
