Berlin, March 21.-Rector Ahlwardt In the Reichsiss

honestly by OF these contracts from the Golfers

These statements were made by Ahlwardt amid
growing confusion among the Radicals. National
Liberals and Social Democrats. He wns interrupted b'
calls for names, but he did not give them After the
President had quieted the House, Ahlwardt said that
the Deputies Obliged TO depend upon bis wore
for proof that these frauds had existed as the doc

THE NEW COMPLICATION OF APPENDIClTI,
WORRYING THE DOCTORS.
San Francisco. March 81 (SpfcaD.-The new
complications in John w Mackay's case are
worrying his doctors far more than they VIII
admit, and though the patient is better to-1ay
than for several days. there is still the danger
Of an operation for appendicitis which, IN Mr..
Mackay's weakened condition. will be dangerous.
Last Wednesday, as he was dressing to 90 out
for the first time since he was shot by old wesley
Rippey on February a. Mr.. MacLay suddenly felt
"a pain in his lower stomach. He recoG-
nized it at once. for he had suffered from
appendicitis in New-Yorl: only year ago. This
time the complaint was caused by the lodge
ment of a pea in the vermiform appendix. The
SICK mans wound was nearly healed and he was
about to be allowed to go ont doors. Last Tues
day the strict regimen upon which he had been
kept was relaxed, and in the dinner served was
a dish Of green peas, Of which he is very fond
He ate heartily of the peas and it is assumed that
some were not thoroughly cooked, for next day
the severe pains in the abdomen set in.
Every effort was made TO reduce the pain, but
without avail, and the patient was IN continual
agony. except when under the influence of opiates.
The inflammation was excessive and on Saturaay
the climax of inflammation was reached The pa
tents condition was very dangerous, and 1t re-
maincd so until late last night, when improve
ment set in.
To-day Mr.. Mackay was much better, but the
danger of an operation still ln2ers DIR. Morse
Que of the most expert surgeons on this coast, mas
treated Mr. AIackays wound from the start, al
though Dr. Keeney is tho attending physician.

rage Of the kind within the city proper in less than

the fact that the efforts of the dynamters in

entrance OF the Marquis Saccheti's palace. and the
noise Of the explosion was heard for great dis
tsnce. Fortunately, tie only material damage
done was the smashing Of many windows In the
ualace though the walls in places bore traces
Of the explosion.
This affair caused the police to be more than
usually vlglant, and during the night another bomb
was found the staircase of house In the Ma
Dele Quattro Fontane. a lighted fuse was at
,sched to this bomb. and IL was discovered just In
time to prevent explosion that In all probability
would have resulted disasrously to the building and

is not generally accepted. however, as The 0u'raees

TO prevent a repetition of the outrages.
