BERLIN, Oct. 6.-The cars health is tn,
topic uppermost in the public mind and
the possibility of the demise of the Rus
sian emperor is widely discussed. Tht
alarming reports received here, although
not entirely credited, caused the livelies
interest, as it Is known the czar's condi
ton is extremely grave.
The cautions Cologne Gazette published
telegram from st. Petersburg TO th,
effect that the regency. which Will be ap
pointed during the absence of the czal
from Russia, will consist OF the czare
witch, Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand
Duke Vladimir. who will be assisted by
specially appointed council OF ministers
CZAR'S CONDITION EXAGGERATED.
Nothing, however, according to the
Cologne Gazette correspondent has trans
pired at St. Petersburg which would tend
to confirm the reports i'll circulation re-
garding changes for the worse in the con.
ton of the czar. Much depends upon the
weather prevailing at Livadia during the
czar's stay there. If the conditions are
favorable his soJourn there may be pro-
Ionged. Ii the weather is bad his majesty
will proceed to Corfu, where the chateau
of the king of Greece has been placed at
CZar's disposal.
The Berlin correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press had an interview TODAY with
Professor Leyden. the distinguished Ger-
man specialist, who with Prof Zaccharin,
the noted Russian physician, has been
in attendance upon the Car aL Spala. The
professor was asked, in view of the i'm
portant political bearing of the question,
to give the Associated Press q definite
statement as to the real nature or the
cZar's illness in order that the state of af-
fairs might be clearly judged La reply

added, however, but the disease is yet 10

GERMANY OBJECTS TO THE SUGAR DUTY
The news that the German ambassador
at Washington has entered protest
against the sugar duty clause of the Will
son tariff bill, has excited general atten-
ton here.
The Associated Press correspondent
called upon Councillor Hammer, of the
foreign Office, who has the full confidence
of Chancellor Won Capriyi. The council
ior explained the German view of the mat
Ter, saying: Germany pays outright ex-
port premiums 10 sugar producers. France,
Austria and Russia pay higher premiums,
but they do not pay them outrIgbts The
German product is nevertheless outstrip.

Wilson ball clsuse discriminates against
Germany to her serious injury, as the
margin is so close, tenth of a cent a
pound. that it makes great difference.
This discrimination certainly is not in ac-
cord with the existing trade between Ger
many and America, since we are entitled
TO the most favored nation treatment
VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT CLAIMED.
Besides. while the Mckinley law was
in force, our representative at Washing
ton and the resident minister made an
agreement that the treatment of sugar
imports from Germany should not be
changed. We, therefore, contend that
the clause imposes an extra burden upon
Germany alone, which infringes the ex-
isIing agreement. This is the serious one,
as it concerns not only sugar manufactur-
ers of Germany, but also the agricultur-
lists of large districts of Germany, es-
pecially those of Saxony, Brunswick, and
ABhalt, and to some extent those of East
Prussia, Posen and Silesia, whose best
crops are affected"
Councilman Hsmman continues: 1.-THE
government still has hopes TO come to an
amicable entente aud there is nothing
menacing in our minister's protest. But,
naturally, we may adopt retsliatory Meas
ures in the event Of he protest being un-
Needed. Such retail alton would especially
please our big AgrarIan party, as 1t would

Much attention has been attracted to a

Agrarian questions. The emperor would
