BERLIN, Jan. 3l.-The resignation Of
Count Won Waldersee from his position as
chief of the general staff is not associated,
as was reported, with his appointment as
commander of the Ninth army corps, which
was made vacant by the withdrawal of
Gen. Leczynski Like the latter, Count
Won Waldersee retires from his position as
chief of staff through his inability
to agree with the emperor. The members
Of the court and official circles are past be-
ing surprised at anything that may happen
in the emperor's administration. Gen.
LeczynskY, six months ago, was favorite
of the emperor. He was almost appointed
minister of war. He was openly
spoken of by the emperor as
among the most able OF the German
generals.
HAD DTNED WITH BISMARCK.
Gen. Leczynski short time ago dined
with Prince Bismarck. The next time he
had to attend the emperor was upon the
occasion of his majesty's recent visit TO
Cuxhaven. He was then treated with
studious GOODNESS, the emperor affecting to
be exclusively occupied with the attentions
OF the Hamburg officials, and according
Gen. Leczynski only the curtest necessary
notice. The causes of Count Won
Waldersees retirement are repeated differ
ences with the emperor ana Chancellor Won
Caprivi in regard to army questions. His
unftnching adhesion to the set of ex-oourt
Chaplain Stoecker has, however, irritatsd
the imerial temper more than any military
dispute. Count Won Waldersee was present
Thursday at the annual meeting of the
Young Mems Christian Association, In
which DR.. Stoecker is a shining light.
OTHER CHANGES.
Besides these changes, Minister Maybach
has offered his resignation to the emperor,
but the imperial acceptance has been de-
layed. Gen. Albsdyn will retire from the
command Of the Eighth army corps April
/, after he celebrates the jubilee of his
entrance into the army. Baron Meer-
scheidt will also retire from the command
| Of the Guards. and win be placed
| upon the superannuated list. The baron's
retirement is the genuine result of old age.
| Gen. AIbedyl, however, is still fit for good
work The emperor's restless nature, spells
Of irritability and uncertain moods are due
TO physical causes, which make him diff
| cult master to serve.
Won wALDERsEE's SUCCESSOR.
The Post states thst Count Won Waldersee
desired to command an army corps. The
| emperor in the meantime has given to him
| tha 0husn Ssf nv.1a ~
| His successor as chief of staff will probably
| be Gen. Won Haesler, who has tie highest
| reputation as o strategist. He was for O
| long time member of the general staff be-
| fore he went to Metz to command the corps
garrisenfng Alsace-Lorraine. He is devoted
to the work, and occupies the isolated dis
| tinction in the army of never taking wine
and as very rarely smoking.
| THE KAISER SMOKES TOO MUCH.
| The emperor's encourage concur in the
| opinion that it would be better for his mai
esty il he smoked less Those in intimate
contact with him find, without his being
really ill. plain signs OF recurring nervous
| suffering. The court physicians have
strongly advised him to cease the use of to-
bacco The emperor persists in smoking a
dozen huge cigars daily.
KOCH UNDER FIRE.
| The Koch method of treatment has re-
ceived some damaging criticisms during the
week. Prof. Virohow has written to the
National Zeitung denying that he has re-
| tracted the expression OF his opinion that
pneumonia might develop as a result of in
| jections with lymph. He adheres to the
report he made to the medical
society, In which he demonstrated that
severe inhammatory diseases of the lungs
might arise from injections. Dr. Hankin,
the British medical delegate, partially sup
1 ~
| observations prove that patients, under cer-
tain conditions, are apt to develop new
tubercles after receiving injections Of
| lymph.
EXCITES INFLAMmAToRY SYMPTOMS.
DR.. Hutchinson, one Of the most eminent
| British surgeons, reports the case of pa
tient who received injections here and who
seemingly improved, but who has since suf-
| fered a marked relapse. DR.. Hutchinson
| says that the lymph excites local infiamma-
tory symptoms, similar to those arising from
| The use of other known remedies when
| applied In the treatment of lupus The
| lymph, he says, possesses remarkable powers
| of rapid action. He advises the suspension
| of Judgment on the exact value of the rem
| edy. Other physicians, including Drs.
| Hand, Gutman and Prof. Erich, in
| formed a meeting of the medical
| society that microscopic examinations
| had received injections of lymph disproved
the theory that the lymph caused the forma-
ton OF tubercle bacilli in the blood, no
baoilli being discovered in any case
Though attacks upon the method of treat
ment have lessened public confidence,
the congress of the socialistic
| relief societies sent an address of
congratulation to Prof. Koch, to which the
professor responded, saying that be specially
appreciated the testimony in recognition Of
his work from classes suffering the most
from tuberculosis, and that he hoped they
will profit most from the advantages of the
new treatment.
The Prussian budget allots los, 900 marks
for the Koch institute. Only 10000 marks
are allotted as Prof. Kochis salary as direc-
tor The other heads Of the departments
will receive 5000 marks each.
