BERLIN, Nov. 11.-Copyrighted by the
Associated Press.-The Tageblatt pub
fishes the alleged circumstances of the
emperor's recent boar hunting expedi-
ton in Huberstock. The story told is
evidently intended to turn the emperors
idea of sport into ridicule The ST.
Hubert's day hunt, the Tageblatt de-
clares, was mere court display which
in no way reflected credit upon the royal
sportsman. The boar, it is aid, was de-
prived of its tusks and was otherwise
handicapped in order to remove any
possibility of it's hurting the hunters,
! by its mouth being muzzled. The boar
was taken to the scene OF the hunt in
closed in a box, and when he was re-
/ leased, the Tageblatt adds, the unfor-
tunate animal trOtted peacefully away
until the emperor easily overlook and
transfixed the wild boar with his
spear.
1t has been reported here some time
that President Peixoto of Brazil was
endeavoring to purchase war ships i'm
Germany, and it was also recently
stated that Brazilian agent was upon
the point of concluding negotiations with
a firm in England. which was willing
to contract TO supply cruisers, provis-
ions and war material. These reports
received partial confirmation today
when it was announced that President
PeiXoto had succeeded in purchasing
five war ships from the well-known
Schiehau ship building yard near Dant-
zig.
The German expedition to Greenland
was dispatched last year by the Gesell-
schaft Erdkunde of Berlin, under the
IL ion, Of TNr ,1-l-s
was accompanied by the other two ex-
plOrers mentioned. The German party
recently returned to Denmark in the brig
Constance after having spent year
studying the inland ice of Greenland.
The expedition left Copenhagen on Nav
l, 1892, in the bark Peru, and in the fol-
lowing June reached the Umomak river
on the west coast of Greenland, in lati-
tude 20 2-3 north. At this point a
scientific station was constructed on the
edge of the inland ice and at the begin
ming of August, the station being ready,
systematic work was commenced Dr.
Stade had charge of the meteorological
researches and DR.. Won HOeffen con-
Quoted the geological studies. The ex-
petition has returned bearing a mass
of valuable material which is now be-
ing sifted and classed in this city.
The statement made by the Asso-
ciated Press to the effect that it was
probable that there would be another
sensational trial In which the parties
implicated are charged with gambling
frauds similar to those disclosed during
the recent trial and conviction of Lieut..
Meyerick and his associates, turns out
to be correct in every point. The newly
unearthed gambling frauds will shortly
occupy the attention of the criminal
tribunal of Hanover. The first hearing
is fixed for Nov. 10, but the case will
be adjourned in order to enable the
authorities to complete their inquiries
into the alleged frauds. The chief de-
PENDANTS are Herr Suezman and
Julia s. and Max Rosenberg. The re-
mainder of the persons comprised are
five in number and include two women.
A novel feature Of the coming trial
will be the charge against a man who
now living in retirement upon good
income, and who is accused of con-
spring with one of the women, since
dead, to eXtort excessive usury, under
the veil Of the sale Of horses to officers
of the army.
In connection with the recent trial a
man named Stamer, who was frequently
mentioned during the proceedings, has
just surrendered to the police Stamer
was a commercial traveller employed by
a wine merchant Of Mayence. He was
abroad at the time of the trial and so
managed to escape arrest.
The liberal and democratic press con-
tinues its endeavor to make political
capital out of the trial by directing it's
remarks more against the agrarians
and junkers than against the actual de-
PENDANTS.
salient feature of the Prussian
elections is the great number Of ad-
ministrative councillors returned.
