WILLIAM IS KING NOW.
LONDON, May 26.-Baron Stumm, the
king" of the st. Johanne mines and
factories in the Saar districts has re-
Gently been having long conferences
with Baron Berlepsch. the new German
Minister of Trade and Commerce.
Baron Stumm, in his own interest and
in the interest of his class, is seeking to
interest the Minister of Commerce in a
reactionary sense. He is, in common
with many other mine owners greatly
dissatisfied with the new social reform
plans of the government. ard is bring
ing all the pressure in hls. rover upon
Berlepsch to change
| THE CONTEMPLATED ORDER OF THINGS.
Stumm has the support of the notorious
mine director Barre at Essen, and both
these men have had until recently some
little influence with those in power.
The present government, however, in
spired directly, as it is, by the young
and enthusiastic Emperor, will hardly
be at the bidding of these men, and the
working classes seem at least to be
near emancipation from this most repel
ant type of factory and mine barons.
A FINIsHER FOR THE FINS.
General Won der Roop, formerly Gov
ernor-General of Odessa, has been
designated as successor to Count Holden
in the governorship of Finland. Roop
is brutally severe, hyper-orthodox and
thoroughly Russian. The poor Fin
landers have not delightful prospect
before them, as doubtless, under their
new Governors rule, they will be de-
prived of many of their constitutional
privileges.
AN IMPERIAL HUNT.
| The Gar proposes to hold large
hunting party in Poland during Septem-
| Der. The hunt will extend over four
weeks and great preparations have been
made for it. The imperial master Of

tains 450 deer, 260 e1ks, 26f stays, $40
aurocks and $50 boars. .A2

works, and designs, it is said, to use his
| influence to secure the succession of
laureateship to him. Noel is fifty y-one
years of age, a man of nervous tempera-
ment and nearly as great recluse as
! TennYson.
WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Herr Noll, living at Berlingen, in the
| Black Forest has constructed a won
derful clock, which he considers sur
| passes in marvelness all clocks of an
cient or modern times. This time
piece is warranted to go without
stopping and without winding till
midnight of the year 9999, prac-
tically ten-thousand-year clock. On
/ it's dial, besides the time of day, it
shows years, seasons, months, weeks,
days, festivals and sun and moon
| changes. 1t is not known what guaran-
tee its maker gives of the works sus-
tanning the wear and tear Of so long a
period, but he evidently has full faith in
his product, and demands $4,000 marks
for it. The clock is now on exhibition
at Berlingen.
