THE TROUBLE IN MS EAR ExCITES
FRESH ANXIETY


ing Intense Pain and sieepiessness-H,s
Recent vnearies Of Speech Attributed
to Disense-He was Unable 20 Keep nm
Appointment with Caprivi Yesterday.
LONDON. March 15-It is said the malady Of
the Kaiser's ear is getting worse. and is at
tended by frequent paroxysms Of excruciat-
ing pain. The disease Is incurable. and the
most serious results may be expected. The
Kaisers recent extravagances and aberra-
tions are attributed to tn effect OF the disease
on his brain. The Kaiser is said to have
ordered the discontinuance OF the imperial
subscription to the London Punch because 1t
contained several illusions OF a dlstasteful
character to his recent actions.
Rumors OF the progress OF tho disease OF
the Emperor's ear have had a disauietine
effect in official circles. To-day the Emperor
was to have a special consultation with Ca
privi on tho passing OF the School bill before
the recess OF tho Landtug. The Chan
cellor. aftor waiting in the anto chamber
q half hour. was informed that tho
Emperor could not see him to-day. Tho in
fammation which heretofore has been internal
is said to have caused painful swelling in
the side Of his neck and to have extended
toward the base Of the brain. Tho result is
that the Emperor suffers from insomnia and
is exceedingly irritable. Nevertheless he
attends to his duties as usual. although
against the advice of his physicians.
1t is thought that the excitement OF the last
two weeks. including the riots and the storm
Of opposition against the School bill. have ag-
gravatel his case. The Emperor makes every
effort to quiet the apprehension which his
condition eXcites among his family and Minis
tiers. His frequent appearance on horseback
in the streets is said to be due to his desire to
disrrove tho dis1uieting reports alloat as re-
cards his health.

THE CRITICS LAST RESORT
A Minnesota Banker Accuses Edwin Arnold
OF Plnriarism

ofPlagiarism.
ST.. PAUL. MINI, April so-Charlel
N. Chadbourn, Minnesota banker,
who is now in Japan, says in q letter
eceived here: Another idol which
has been rudely shattered since my
arrival in Japan is Sir Edwin Arnold.
l find tho estimate of him here quite
different from tho occidental one. He
resided in Japan during the year in
of the World, and wrote letterN con.
cerning Japan to the English press,
which have since been collected and
published under the title of Seas and
Lands He has also published
in America a book called
'Japonica,' originally a series OF
articles in Scribner's, l believe He is
accused OF being guilty in these letters
OF the most fragrant plagiarism, both
from standard works on Japan, from
the contemporary columns of the Japan
Mail, and from the published transac-
tions of the Asiatic society. His full.
some and indiscriminate praise OF
everything japanese is greatly re-
sented by residents here, who claim
that the Japanese are by no means the
perfect beings he makes them out to
pc, but that he has grossly nisstated
the facts in order to curry favor. AS
to his unstinted. tlattery of that angelic
crenture, the Japanese woman. any
discussion of the subject is dismissed
by the statement of the residents that
he, an old man OF 60 years, was only
dissuaded from marrying one of them
by the determined Intervention of his
daughter Both his actions and his
speeches are most severely criticised
