KAISER NOT COMING.
Prince of Sch1eswig-Holst Will Rep
resent the Emperor

Washington, July 15.-"We know
nothing of the reported coming of the
German emperor to this country. We
do not believe he is coming" So said
an attache of the German legation to
the Evening Post correspondent this
morning. And he added: 1--WE have
received no official inquiries regarding
proposed trip. In fact, no word that
would lead us to believe that he has
amy intention of coming has been
received here"
The correspondent met a gentleman
a little later who had just arrived
from Germany and who is engaged in
making preparations for the transporta-
ton and accommodation of the prince
Of Schleswig-Holstein, the emperor's
brother-in-law, who will come in Sep
tember to visit the fair as the emperor's
| personal representative. This gentle
man said, aprOpOs of the report that
the emperor will visit Chicago: HE
would like very much to come. He has
so expressed himself within the past
month. He said he should like nothing
better. His coming would not be so
much to honor America as to honor
the Germans who have come here and
! who have made this country their home.
He does not like them to leave Ger
many, but he remembers how gener-
ously they assisted in the fatherland
during the Franco-German war and he
is grateful. Were he king of Prussia
only 1 think he would come, but he is
emperor of Germany and 1 do not be-
lieyr that the council of federation
would like him to come. He is eul-
peror by their good will. Were he to go
so far away it would be necessary
for the council t. elect a regent IL
reign during his absence, and that
would involve much trouble and an.
nOyance. 1t is for that reason that ]
co not believe that he will come. AT
the same time the. emperor is a self
willed man, and should he decide to
come he will do so whether the council
likes it Or not. That is, if he gets

will come. He will be here in Septem-

FALL OF THE BASTIIE.
Its Anniversary Celebrated Tamely in
France

Paris, July 14-TOday is the 1O4th
anniversary of the fall of the bastile
The anniversary Of this event in
French history is usually celebrated
with much rejoicing, the people gener-
ally observing the day as one of mer-
r:ment
Today, however, the fetes in Paris
have been marked with tameness and
the usual celebrations are conspicuous
by their absence.
This is due entirely to the feeling
engendered by the recent riots. The
municipal council, upon which hereto
fore much of the expense of the cele-
bratiOnS has fallen, has taken no part
in the observance Of the anniversary
this year
The members of the council, many
of whom, if not actually known as
socialists, have leanings in the direc
ton Of socialism, are still sulky because
the governments action in regard to
the labor exchange and at the threat
to dissolve their body.
In view of these conflicts the council
left the celebration in the hands of
others, with the result that the decOra-
lions of the city are scarce and hardly
worthy of notice. The night illumina-
ton Of the city has been abandoned.
The anarchists have taken advant-
age of the day to post incendiary pla-
cards on dead walls and other places
about the city. The police are busy
in searching out an destroying these
! flaming posters.
! A number of open air balls were held
last night, but there were no disor-
! derby scenes. Anarchists have made
many threats of what they intend to
do today, going SO far as to say that
they would destroy the city by fire.
! The authorities are prepared for
! whatever overt acts they may attempt.
The fire brigade and two regiments of
! troops are held in readiness to fight the
! fire or the anarchists themselves.
/ President Carnot, who has been
away on account of his health, has
returned to the city. 1t is customary
on the anniversary of the fall Of the
bastile for the president to extend
clemency to certain prisoners. In ac-
cordance with this custom, President
| Carnot today pardoned $40 cOnvicts.

Berlin, July 1.-THE army bill passed
its second reading in the reichstag to
day All the articles of the bill will
pass their third reading tomorrow.
During the debate today Count Her
bert Bismarck made a speech that
aroused general interest. He declared
he is satisfied with the adoption of
the bill, though he was opposed to the
two years service system because the
socialists, Through a short term of
service, might corrupt the army.
The third year Of service would act
as a reformatory school.
This remark caused a great uprOar
which for a time the president was
unable to quell Herr Won Kardoff ap-
pealed to the house to sustain the
chair against such a scanda1ous viola
ton of the right of debate. The uproar
finally ceased and Caprivi followed
Bismarck. He said the two years sys-
tenn could be carried through without
the dangers Count Herbert feared.
Count Herbert frequently interrupted

was called to order.
Herr Babel, the leader of the social
democrats, said that in listening to
Count Herbert the house had heard
the father speaking through his son.
The great father had been unable to kill
the social democracy and still less able
was the son to do so. He concluded
by saying: 1--WE exist. You will not
be able to get rid of us except by
killing" His remarks caused a most
decided sensation.
Latter in the Gay Count Herbert
Bismarck planted himself before the
chancellor and said he desired to cor
rect the Statement made by Caprivi
This gave rise to another uploar and
the president reminded the count that
the article on which he wished to COM
ment had already passed the house.
The count retired to his seat amid
bowls. Later he apO1ogized to the
chancellor for irritating him by inter-
ruptions. Caprivi bowed his accept
ance of the apology.

INQUEST.

The formal testimony in the inquest
of the fire at the worlds fair cold stor-
age warehouse began today at Hyde
Park police station at 1870 o'clock.
A new development in relation to
the identity of the bodies was brought
about today when Coroner McHale
learned from the postmaster at Mar
quette, Mich, that Robt. Blomheuber,
who was supposed to have been lost
in the ruins was alive.
This now leaves one body to whose
identity there is not the slightest trace,
and for whom no one has yet inquired.
TOday's session of the inquest was de-
voted to hearing testimony showing
the life and history and establishing the
identity of the men into the cause of
whose death the coroner was inquiring.
Among those present during the pro-
ceedings were President Mcdonald, of
the warehouse company: f. B. Burn
ham, architect of the building; Marshal
Murphy; Director of Works D. H.
Burnham, and other exposition officials,
who followed the testimony carefully
and endeavored to comfort some Of the
women witnesses who were in tears.
