LATER KEYSTONE STAT[lTEMS
A COSTLY CITY HALL.
The Philadelphia Building Has Cost s1o.'
oo0. 1000, and Is Still Unfinished.

Philadelphia City Councils have resolved
that no money whatever for the construc-
tion Of the public buildings shall be appro.
pritted out Of the proceeds Of the annual
tax levy for 1893. unless the commission
shal within ten days furnish Councils with
a statement exhibiting item by item the
manner in which the appropriation request
ed Is TO be expended, and also an approxi-
mate statement of the sum necessary TO COM
plete and furnish the buildings in accord
ance with existing plans and specifications.
This action has long been looked for. The
Public Building Commission, which has sole
charge OF the ere tion Of fhiladelphia's big
city hall. was created by the Legislature
over 20 years ago. and has so far dehed all
attempts Of the city officials TO inquire into
It's affairs. IL has demanded certain sums
each year. and the money has been grudg.
ingly handed over. The amount asked for
this year Is slightly over s2. 100000. When
the erection OF the building was begun It
was 10 be finished in few years at an esti
mated cost of s5,0O0,O00. over 5000 coo
have been spent on It. Nobody knows how
much more viii, be require ed, and no one be-

GREAT GERMAN SCANDAL.
The Great Army OF the Kaiser Provided
With Worthless Loewe Rifles.

The Great Army oil the Kaiser Provlded
With Worthless Loewe Rifles.
Germany has sensational scandal con-
cerning the equipment of its great army. II
appears that the Loewe Rifles, with which
her 425, 900 soldiers are armed. are worthless
for actual service, and that some officer or
officers high In rank have betrayed the Sc
cret. The emperor and his staff are agi.
,ated There is likely to be All upheaval.
The whole thing came out in the trial
Saturday Of Rector Ahlwardt ut Berlin. an
anti.Semite member OF the Reichstag,
who was arraigned in the Moabil criminal
court on charge Of slandering Mr.. Loewe
After having been taunted for the lack Of
yeracity, Ahlwardt produced five official
documents which proved to be reports made
by coIonels to their generals adverse to the
Loewe guns. These must have been stolen
probably by an officer, who, If found out, is
liable to 10 years penal servitude.
Ahlwardt had just expressed regret that
army officers, on their oaths, should have
been mistaken in saying no official reports
adverse TO the Lowe guns had been made.
who are you" thundered the Judge
who dare talk thus of officers who have
taken an oath TO tell the tTuth?"
Here are my proofs" replied ALL lwardt
taking the papers from his pocket and hold
ing them up.
The public prose ecutor suggested they
should be read at once. Rector Ahlwardt, in
q low, clear voice. said: IL have been accus
ed of being unpairioiic without reason. The
documents hold. II read publicly, would
b- damaging TO my country. therefore ak
that the court be cleared and the reading be
private. IL the president will glance over
them am confident he will agree with me-
Amid dead silence the papers were
handed TO the president AS he read them
his face became very serious. Finally he
SAID THE papers laid before me are very
important TO the State. They should not be
read in open court" The room was then
cleared.
The documents show that out Of 9GU
Loewe guns used at WeSel $50 We're unser.
uceab.e. Twenty of the chambers burst
and 10 broke entirely.
IL must be remembered that there are 425
900 Loewe guns in the German army. This
Is terribly awkward for the government,
which IL bound by necessity 10 do every.
thing TO hush up the scandal The Ahlwsrdi
trial will raise doubts in the mind Of large
section OF the German nation. not particu.
larly as regards the Loewe guns, but about
all guns manufactured for the army. Ahl.

enormous machinery OF the law is brought
