of CumberlandD severed the rela-
tons between them, and Bismarck
resigned, his son Count Herbert
Bismarck and all the Ministry going
with him. Bismarck and The En-.
peror have not been on the best OF
terms since the Emperor's accession,
and the resignation was not entirely
unexpected. William has made him
a Duke and given him place in the
army as well as publicly thanking
him.
The utmost fears are felt in
Europe over the change, and the
money centers have been violently
agitated in consequence. The
French hourse tumbled at sur
prising rate, and on all continental
capitals the same uneasiness was APP
parent. The French journals speak
guardedly of the situation while the
Russian and Hungarian boldly say
that the chief support to European
peace has been withdrawn.
Increase of Leprosy.
The San Francisco Board of
Health is paying heed to the I'M
easiness felt in many quarters re-
garding the increase of leprosy. The
number of patients at the Twenty
Sixth Street Hospital having the
disease is constantly augmenting.
On the evening of the Doth inst, the
Board held a special meeting at
which DR.. Fiske referred briefly to
the number of cases now existing in
the city, the contagious character of
the disease and the constant inroads
which it is making upon the white
population.
4 dispatch from Milwaukee, dated
the Doth inst, says Miss Flavln,
recently from the Sandwich Islands,
and an authority on leprosy, asserts
that in Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa there are 100 cases of leprosy.
This statement, coupled with the
knowledge that the State Board was
making an investigation, has caused
CONSERVATION in several localities
where leprosy was rumored to have
existed. The State Board admits
that there are few cases in Wiscon-
sin, but denies that there are as
many as she says. The cases all
came from Scandinavian immigrants.
a New Record.
The steamship Alameda, Captain
II. G.. Morse, established new re-
cord from Honolulu on her last trip.
She arrived on the 18th inst in 6
days and 80 minutes, beating by
several hours all previous records
from Honolulu. She discharged the
Honolulu pilot March 9th at 1915
P. NJ. and stopped for the San Fran
cisco pilot March 18th at 1 is P NJ,
the time being taken from the time
she crossed the bar at Honolulu,
however, and not from when she
dropped the Honolulu pilot. Cap
tain Morse is in an unusually happy
mood over the record. The fast run
was made to make connection with
the overland trains of the 18th inst
Personal Mention.

A Raid on Honolulu.
San Francisco Music and Drama
of March I'D las the following:
Lewis ]. Levey, manager of the
Hawaiian Opera House at Honolulu,
who arrived by the last mail steamer
in search OF talent, is reported as
having engaged a notorious barn
stOrmer named Ewing, with other
factors" of similar calibre, for a sea
son at his theatre. If such Is the
case Mr.. Levey has been egregiously
imposed upon. as he viii soon dis
cover The crowd he is reported as
having engaged as specimens of San
Francisco actors are an insult to the
intelligence of the people of the Ha-
waiian capitol, who have too much
good sense to be imposed upon by a
lot of incompetents. 1t must not be
supposed because Honolulu is stu
ated in mid-ocean that its citizens
are ignorant of what is taking place
in the world and do not know what
good acting is. On the contrary.
they have, in their time, had the
best; but it now looks as if they will
certainly get the worst. Ewing and
his crowd of transformers stand a
very good chance of regretting the
day that they concluded to force
themselves upon the Honolulu pub
