intended to send member of the Hohen-

was instructed to lay a wreath upon the
casket containing the remains of the late
President. Then umbrage was taken in
some quarters at the fact that the town
council of Berlin went out of is way in
order to express sympathy with France In
her bereavement. The fault-fnders es-
pecially referred in their complaints at
this action upon the part of the municipal
authorities to the neglect of the municipal
authorities of Paris to take any action
when the deaths of the late Emporors Will
liam and Frederick were announced.
The report that the Government had
drawn the attention Of the Government of
France to the fact that the safety of Ger
mans in France was imperiled by the anti

The conservative press is agitating the
reviv Of exceptional anti-socisllst laws,

pension, and in addition he would deprive
socialists of all political rights. Such
drastic measures are impossible now, he
says, but the publication of this letter
shows the drift of opinion in certain quar-

Russians" The Gar also found upon the
dressing-table in his dressing-room a skull
with the word Alexander" inscribed upon

persons connected with this attempt TO

AS time passes. the mysterious story
said to be at the bottom of the arrest of
Count Won KotZ. the master Of ceremonies,
who was suspected of writing the long
series of anonymous letters which have
caused so much disturbance and annoy
ance in the most aristocratic circles fol the
past four years, increases in interest Since

nature similar TO those which caused sus-
picon to fall upon him have been received
by members of the court circles The re-
ceipt of these venomous communications
has been increased. and it is beginning to
be believed Won KotZ is the victim of
mean intrigue. He has rejected the offer
of liberation which was made him, aud
insists upon remaining under arrest until
the scandal Is completely cleared up.
