by the Associated Preas. THE crisis in
the affairs of Europe caused by the
death OF Sultan Muley Hassen, and the
strong feeling aroused in certain quar-
ters in regard to the succession of his
son, Abdul Aziz, has served to focus the
feeling of sntagonism towards England
which has been specially noticeable and
which has grown in strength ever since
the announcement of the Anglo-Congo
treaty. As an evidence OF this feeling
against England it is believed it is the
determination of the German govern
ment not to take part in any naval
demonstration which the other powers
may contemplate making upon the
coast OF Morocco.
OF course, should German interests
be msnaced by any outcome OF the dis
putes which have arisen since the death
OF the sultan, the emperor may be COM
PEELED to send feet to Morocco; but,
according to present Indications, there
will be no necessity for such q step. as
the German diplomats are confident
that the rival intsresta of the western
powers will insure their neutrality.
In this connection the Cologne Ga
zette semi-officially remarks: cal
though Germany does not banker alter
territorial aggrandizement, she has i'm
portant commercial interests and the
security of numerous German subjects
to defend"
Then, referring to the eventuality of
the transfer of Morocco TO European
power, the Gazette adds Significantly j:
after our recent experiences with
English and Spanish diplomacy in con-
nection with the Congo agreement and
commercial treaty, neither OF the coun-
tries can expect the same friendly CO.
operation and good will as might conf
deHtly have been hoped for otherwise.
1t fB time that Germany should show
that she is determined not to be treated
as a quantite negligeable in African
questions"
FETINd THE BRITISH.
AS though to show that political afs
fairs do not affect the personal relations
of the two courts, Emperor William dur
ing the week has been feting the dslega-
tion from the First (royaD dragons, the
British regiment to which Queen Vic
toria during her stay at Coburg ap-
pointed him honorary colonel. The
British dragons were treated in a most
hospitable manner, and left Berlin de-
lighted with the emperor's hospitality.
THAT HORSE CASE.
r. F. Kneebes, the American horse
owner who was accused of fraudulent
practices on the turf in connection with
trotting horses, is still in prison. DR..
Hall, who came from the United States
for the purpose OF trying 10 be of service
to the prisoner, has failed to induce the
authorities to accept bail. Kneebes ia
confined in decent room and is allowed
to buy his own meals. His friends say
new and conclusive evidence is on its
way from the United States, and the
prisoner will soon be able to prove his
innocence.
A CLEVER CAPTURE.
The discovery of the Wholesale for
gsries of United States bills and Bank
of England notes at Hamburg was di-
rectly due to the smartnees of Edward
Sch W alb, second officer of the Hamburg
American steamship Russia Schwab,
before his appointment to the Russia,
became acquainted with man named
Thies, partner in the bankrupt Ham,
burg firm of Thies & Meyerheim. Thles
made mysterious propositions to Schwab,
limiting at ths possibility of the easy
acq uisition of large income. Schwab
became interested in Theis and visited
the iatter's dOmicile at Hamburg, when
he noticed printing press. Schwab
thought very little about the matter for
a long time afterward, probably having
allowed it to escape his mind entirely,
had it not been for the fact that
brother officer on the Russia happened
to mention to him that Theis had made
proposals to him to circulate forged
United States bills in America. This
proposition was Indignantly rejected.
Schwab thereupon decided to investigate
,he matter thoroughly, and the arrest
