Germany's Ruler improving IN hea1n
But Suffering from a Stiff Knee.
BERLIN, Aug. l4.-Aside from the in
convenience of moving about with his
leg held stiff by bandages, Emperor
William is enjoying excellent health.
DR.. Won Bntticher, secretary of the
imperial home Office and repre-
sentative of the chancellor, visited
Kiel and held quite lengthy
conference with His Majesty upon ques-
tons pertaining to the welfare of the
state. The fact that the Emperor is
able to devote great part of his time
to attending to the business of the en-
pire is regarded as pretty good evil
dence that the alarming reports
circulated in regard to his physical and
mental condition are unfounded and is
taken to confirm the statements that
these rumors are the work of specu-
bringing about a depression in
prices on the bourse. Upon the con-
clusion of His Majesty's conference
with DR.. Won Bntticher he started on
trip to sea on the imperial yacht Ho-
henzollern. He will be gone for a day.

Drouth in Mexico.

Advices from many points in the
states of Coahuila and Durango, Mex,
are condensed into water scarce, poor
crops and no money. In all of that
portion of the republic a good cotton
crop has been made in but one settle
ment, and this is the colony of Tia
hualilo, in which President Diaz
and one of his ex-ministers are
personally interested. These people
have obtained water from the River
Nazas, thereby depriving the planters
of the laguna district and their hum
dreds of dependents. A riot has been
narrowly averted. Corn in Durango is
selling at $3.50 per venega of 16S
pounds. A deputation of citizens re-
Gently visited the city of Mexico to IL
duee the government to remove the
duty on American corn, but met with
no success. Many of the poorer classes
of Durango are destitute and their
needs have converted them into very
dangerous characters.

DEATH OF A WRESTLER.
Consumptinn Carries Away Matsada
Sorakichi. .sthe JAP

Sorakichi, ''the JAP"
Matsada Sorakichi, the noted Japa-
nese wrestler, died suddenly in the
parlor of the Nippon Club, New York,
at 4 o'clock on the 10Th. For the past
three months, the Jap" as he was
known all over the country, has been
suffering from consumption. For
while he was patient at
St. Vincent's hospital. Recently
he has lived in a Japanese
boarding house in West Twenty fifth
Street The Japanese Club, the Nip
pom, is directly opposite, at 221 West
Twenty ffth Street. Of late Matsada
has been without money, but his friends
at the club saw that he did not want
for anything. He has been in the habit
of strolling about West Twenty fifth
Street. Saturday afternoon he walked
out, but was too weak to 60 far.
He crossed over to the club
rooms and sat down in a chair in the
parlor. In few moments he tainted
and did not recover. A doctor was
summoned, but the wrestler died be-
fore his arrival. Saturday night the
body was removed to the undertaking
establishment of John Roth at No. 524
Sixth Avenue The funeral will take
place tomorrow afternoon, and the re
mains will be inferred in Woodlawn
Cemetery.
The "Jap" came to this country about
eight years ago. He was 80 years old at
the time of his death. His birthplace
was Shinano, Japan. In appearance he
was of medium height, but powerful
build; his chest and shoulders were
magnifcently developed. He was intel
ligent in manners, and did not dlsslpate
in any way. A few years ago the Jap"
married young woman ofthis city, with
whom he did not live happily. They
did not live together very long. When
Matsada was youth be had as teach
er the famous Japanese wrestler Isesa-
geha. In Japan Matsada was considered
a third-class wrestler, but in this coun-
try he stood in the front ranks. He
wrestled with all the irst-class men
throughout the country. His friends
say he failed in strength ever since
Evan Lewis, ''the strangler," wrestled
with him and broke his ankle.

also by reason of the publicity gwen to
the affair by the French friends of the

A Substitute for Wheat.

Mixed rye and wheat flour was offered
for the first time on the Berlin Produce
Exchange on the 18th in large quanti-
ties. The mixture is much cheaper
than pure rye -four. The recent ad-
vance in cereals was lost on the news that
the government would purchase wheat
meal for the army, and that immense
contracts had been concluded with
American grain dealers. Feversh ac-
tivitv prevails in the shipping of rye
to all Russian ports. Eight thousand
tons have left st. Petersburg in eight
days. 1t is reported that further large
shipments will be made on orders from
the German government. The German
reichsbank has resolved to loan money
upon corn to two-thirds instead of one
half of its value In order to facilitate
purchases by small dealers.
