Berlin, Dec. 1.-LCopyright, 1894, by
the Associated Press. Since his re
turn from visiting the south German
states, Prince Hohenlohe has familiar
lied himself with the duties of his new
Office, and he has done this with such
rapidity and entire absence of fuss
and noise as to fully justify all INK
expectations built on him. One of his
first duties was to listen to a number
of reports made to him by the chiefs
Of the various departments and he
showed a surprising grasp of all ques-
tons of Importance awaiting promp4
solution.
Thus far the most radical difference
between Won Hohenloh.e and Won Cap
I'lvi is that the former does not fight
his battles nor declare his intentions
in what is known as the official
press
Hohenlohe expects to see the anti
revolutionary measure adopted Within
a few weeks after the opening of the
Refchstag; but it is extremely proba-
Bile the bill will be somewhat modified
in committee. The leaders of the OPP
pel's, point out THAT in it's present
shape two paragraphs could easily he
employed against them instead OF
against the destructionists
War in the Socialist Camp.
The war within THE socialist Camp
continues to claim the attention of all
politicians. The apparent struggle for
supremacy between Bebel ana Voll-
mer, with their respective following, is
going ON with undiminished fervor.
The quarrel, it is said, will be sub
mitted to the extraordinary meeting Of
the socialists of the Re3chstag on
Tuesday.
Apart from this big duel there are
other disputes, genuine and otherwise.
IN the socialist party which would
point to its impending disruption. In
Brunswick, for example. which dis one
Of the socialist strongholds, the social
lists are split in two factions.
Emperor William has ordered that
$50 marks be given s. a Christmas
present, out of his own private funds,
widows whose husbands persisted by
the explosion of a steam pipe on
board the German iTonclad Branden-
burg early in the year.
On the return OF dowager Empress
Frederick TO this city. the emperor and
empress, accompanied by Prince Freder-
lex William, the heir apparent, paid
her a long visit at her palace on Unter
den Linden. The dowager empress is
showing her accustomed interest in the
affairs of art, and one Of her first
visits was to the studies of Ascau Let
teroth and Ismail GeutZ, two of the
leading painters in water-colors.
The agrarian societies continued send
ing kilograms to the emperor during the
past week, expressing loyalty and ask
ing for his sympathy and aid in their
efforts to promote the interests of home
husbandry A dispatch from East
Prussians was received and the emperor
replied to it very kindly.
An interesting fact may here be men
toned. His majesty's racing stud at
Graditz has been most successful this
year. The horses trained there won
about $4,000 in stakes, the three owners
coming next to his majesty being Baron
Munchusen, whose wife is an Ameri-
can lady; Herr Won Langpunchoff and
Prince Furs tenberg, their winnings be-
ing about $4,000, $4,000 and $4,000
respectively.
The German newspapers are making
merry over a curious result of the
emperor's production of Song of
Aegir." 1t is apparently causing the
registrar of births a deal Of embarrass-
ment, as it transpires nearly every
father desires to have his baby, if boy,
named Aegir. According to law, how
ever, children cannot be registered by
pagan names and the officials are en-
quiring whether they are TO make an
exception in this case. The court cham
berlain is now considering this momen-
tous question.
The fact that Princess Hohenlohe,
wife of the chancellor, has gone to
Paris for a time has caused much COM
ment here.
Behring's Diphtheria Serum.
A reaction against the unmeasured
claims advanced for the curative eff
fects of Prof Behring's diphtheria Sc
rum is setting in rather seriously. The
most significant utterance in this re-
spect was made at a meeting on We'd
nesday last, OF the Berlin Medical So
ciety, when DR.. Hansemann, assistant
in Prof. Virchow's pathological insti-
tute, a mouthpiece of Prof. Virchow
himself, sharply criticized in detail
Prof Behring's serum therapeutics He
denied the serum immunizes the human
being, and declared no sufficient proof
had been produced respecting its cur
ative properties Furthermore, DR..
serum treatment in many cases was
dangerous to health, even to life. The
statistics thus far obtainable of the re-
suit of the serum trea tmeDt. he pro-
nounced TO be unreliable and mislead-
ing. The lecture was received with
great applause from one part of the
audience, and with Kisses from the
other part. The extension of the serum
treatment to other cities at home and
abroad have been reported to be going
on steadily, and the chemical works at
Hoeshst, near Frankfort where the
serum is manufactured. have been en-
larged this week in order to meet the
demands for the serum. DR.. G. H r.
Nutal. a young American physician
who is now assistant professor of the
hygenic institute of Berlin, in view Of
the fact that his share OF the discovery
Of the serum treatment has not appar-
emily been clearly understood has
made the following statement to the
Associated Press: He studied in 1887
and 1888 under Prof. Fluegge, at Bres-
lau and at Gottingen, and while pur-
suing experiments in the laboratories,
he made certain discoveries which en-
abled him to demonstrate, for the first
time, that blood possesses bacteriologi-
cal properties. He published the re-
suits of these researches, among which
