girls whom they had lured to their
den near the city, under the idea that
they had obtained place of employ
ment. Schneider strangled them

The Emperor of Germany wanted
to have Archbishop Kopp made Car
dinal at the December Consistory,

the Propaganda would please neither
France, Germany, Russia nor Italy.

Emperor William of Germany has
at last been brought face to face
with his Parliament on the Educa-
ton bill. 1t is his first check, and

servie Ministers who echo his every
wish but can give him but little help.

stirred by the prolonged debate in
the Diet, and Liberal Berlin in parti-
cular, being close witness of these
scenes, is wrought up to a pitch of
intense excitement. The breakup
of the parties which has followed up
the pushing of the bill by the En-
peror's supporters has produced a
political convulsion. Caprivi, who did
not desire a split in the union of
Conservatives and National Liberals,
1 made speech in the Diet last Satur-
day, and during its delivery the
scenes were unprecedented in the
history of that body. The whole
house was turned into bear garden
and the speaker was baited from
every side.

bidding the demonstration to take
place.

grace in the army.

spector- 6 General of the German Army
and Commander of the Twelfth Army
corps has issued an order calling
upon the officers of that corps to
stop the inhuman treatment practiced
upon privates by Don-commissoned
officers twill likely free the privates
of The whole army from the brutal
tyranny Of law-grade officers. The
matter was discussed by the Budget
Committee of the Reichstag and it
was resolved to favor greater publ
city in the proct edings of military
tribunals and the puAishments order

Sir William Vernon Harcourt in
his address at Southampton, Feb. s,

hatred was not only shameful hut
