GEFFCKEN' s CASE.
Nature of the Documents Withheld
for State Reasons.

Nature of the Documents Withheld
for State Reasons.
BERLIN, Jan. 22.-The dark alIusion of
the Cologne Gazette to certain documents
in the Geffcken case, which the paper said
were not published bscarise political and
dynastic interests mir safer, refers to
letters written by Sir Morier while he was
at Darmstadt in which Princess Alice aid
several E gliSh royalties are involved. Ac-
cording to statements current in official
circles if Prince Bismarck is forced by
political exigencies to publisl these letters
they will prove that E nperor Frederick
and his wife we're indiscreet and divulged
the plans of Prussia, and that eve1 before
the opening of the campaign of 1870 Darn
stadt was the focus of intrigues against the
unifcation Of Germany.
MAY JUSTIFY BISMARCK.
The documents that are withheld may
afford ample justification # Prince Bis
marck's accusatio against Emperor Fred
erick in his report to the present emperor,
but the strenrth of the public feeling against
further scandal has become SO extreme that
the semi-official pres, has received hints to
cease discussing tho subject. The pub
lica ion by the North German
Gazette of statements which appeared
in the Cologne Gazette relative to
Count Solms Sonnenwalde is the first
notice taken of the Morier incident by On
official paper. 1t is coupled with state
ment calculated to modify the Cologne
Gdzette's allegations regarding Prof. Gef
cken. The North German Gazette says
that Prof. Geffcken's examination before
tho Hamburg am ssgericht showed that he
is simply suffering from nervous excite
ment which is easily remedial with rest and
hygenie and that his mental powers are un-
impaired.

bers Of the Reichstag and Prussian diet to-

Charleston Figures Out that It Nay

CHARLESTON, Jan. 22.-The Nevs and
Courier says ditorially that day by day
the cotton crop of 1888 and 1889 assumes
more generous prop irtion, and there are
few who now dispute the fact that it will
be tie largest crop ever made. Tho cou-
ditions have been unusually favora le for
maturing the crop, and 10 rnany OF the
most fruitful sections pickers are still
actively at work in the field. The
result Of the prolongaJion of the

cotton bel, must be an addition TO the yield,
whica is as gratifying as IL was unex-
pected. 10 seems not extravagant 10 hope.
