This Baron Won Roeder. by the bye,
is an elder brother Of that Baron Max
Won Roeder, who, for a time, was cele-
brated as the best non-professional
steeplechase rider on the German turf,
but who was subsequently forced TO
leave the army on the startling dis
covery being made that instead OF cour-
ageously having put to flight the rob
bers who had entered the German enl-
bassy at Berne, Of which his father was
the chief, it was he, himself, who had
rified the chancellerie and who had
merely organized the mise en- scene OF
the cieverly imagined burglary in order
to divert attention and suspicion from
himself So thoroughly did he succeed
in getting his story believed that the
late emperor was on the point OF con-
ferring upon him the order Of the Red
Eagle for his gallantry when his guilt
was established.
Prince Radolin, now ambassador at
Constantinople, was formerly one OF
these masters of the cerlmonies, but
was clever enough to obtain by mems
of intrigue promotion first to the cham
berlaincy, and subsequently, to the
comptrollership of the household Of the
late Emperor Frederick, then crown
prince. Raving once established him
self there, he proposed to make himself
solid with the present emperor, and
during Frederick's last illness acted In
such manner that he was openly ac-
cused by Empress Frederick Of treacn-
cry to her husband and herself. Prince
Radolin kept young William and Prince
Bismarck day by day informed Of the
condlvion of his masters health, which
the empress was in vain endeavorlng
to conceal. Both she and her husband
would have been glad to dismiss him,
but were prevented from doing so by
the old emperor, who exercised a strict
control over the appointments OF his
sons establishment. AS soon, howe or,
as Frederick became emperor, Radolin's
services as grand master of the house,
hold were dispensed, and he was dis
missed with purely honorary appoint-
ment, belng promoted from the rank Of
count to that Of prince by way Of con-
ISOLATION,
Prince Radolln has now the lucrative
post of German ambassador at Con-
stantinople, where he has succeeded In
rendering himself most unpopular with
his countrymen, making point Of be-
having with -especisa diaoourtesy and
aggressiveness toward all the friends
Of his predecessor, the universally liked
Baron Won Radowitz, whose transfer
to the minor mission Of Madrid was due
to the fact that not only had he Russ
sian Wife, but also that his sister was
the wife of the czar's envoy in the
Turkish capital, Russian and German
interests being now diametrically OPP
posed in that quarter. One of the most
intimate friends of Baron Won Radowitz
was Gen. Won Hope, Of the German
army, who has been lent to the Ottoman
government for the purpose OF reorgan-
lzlng its army, and who had won the
good win and confidence not alone Of
the sultan who appointed him his AIDE
de-camp, but also that of his Turkish
fellow-oflicers. Gen. Won Hope resented
the dlscourteous behavior OF Prince
Radolin, as not only sighting to himself
but also to his two imperial masters,
the sultan of Turkey and the emperor
Of Germany, and accordingly he wrote
to both, complaining Of Prince Radolin.
Emperor William at once took up the
cudgels In the princess behalf, and im-
mediately wrote an autograph letter
to the sultan demanding the immediate
dismissal from the Turkish service Of
the general, and at the same time he
caused Won Hope TO be notified that
never, under any circumstances, would
he permit the resumption Of his place
under the German flag. The sultan had
no alternative and dismissed him
though with great regret and manifest
reluctance.
| | need scarcely say that Prince Rad
olin and the emperor as well are mosi
severely condemned for their treatment
Of General Won Hope, not only in th'
army, which sympathizes to mar
with the general, but also among thu
aristocracy, who regard the general al
one Of themselves. whereas they do no
accord any such consideration to Prince
RadoIIn, Notwithstanding the fact tina
he Is undoubtedly the favorite Of thu
present emperor -Marquise de Fonte
noy.
