Dragons.

BERLIN. June 16.-The crisis in the af-
fairs of Europe caused by the death of
Sultan Muiay Hassen and the strong feel
ing aroused in certain quarters in regard to
the suspicion of his son, Abdul Azz. has
served to focus the feeling of antagonism
toward England, which has been specially
noticeable and which has grown in
strength ever since the announcement of
the conclusion of the Anglo Congo treaty.
AS evidence of this feeling against Eng
land it is believed it is the determination
OF the German Government not to take
part in any naval demonstration which
the other powers may contemplate making
upon the coast of Morocco. But, accord
ing to present indications, there will be no
necessity for such a step, as the German
diplomats are confident that the rival in
terests of the Western powers will insure
their neutrality.
In this connection the Cologne Gazette
semi-officially remarks: although Ger
many does not banker after territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, she has important COM
mercial interests and the security of
numerous German subjects to defend"

The discovery of the wholesale forgeries
of United States bills and Bank of Eng
land notes at Hamburg was directly due
to the smartness of Edward Schwab, sec
ond officer of the Hsmburg-American
steamship Russia. Schwab, before his
appointment to the Russia, became &C
quained with a man named Thies, part
ner in the bankrupt firm of Thies & Mey-
erheim.
Thies made mysterious proposals to
Schwab, limiting at the possibility of the
easy acquisition of handsome income.
Schwab became interested in Thies and
visited the latter's demicile at Hamburg
when he noticed printing press. Schwab
thought little about the matter for long
time afteTward, and probably would have
allowed it to escape his mind entirely had
it not been for the fact that brother
officer on the Russia happened to mention
20 him that Thies had made proposals to
