Berlin, Nov. 19.-That the promotion
of Prince Hchenlohe to chancellor
means the end, at any rate for i time,
Of the SubmisSiveness Of the chancel-
Ier TO the regime as
it existed during Caprivi's tenure of
office, is now a generally accepted fact.
Every indication is that HOhenlohe is
determined to have things his own
way, and Emperor William is appar
emily inclined to give him free hand.
In fact there is a strong reminder Of
Bismarckian times, and HOhenlOhe,
not the emperor, is regarded as the
man who will pull the strings in Ger
manys domestic and foreign policy
and be the exposure of all eyes. The
newspapers all share the opinion and
do not tire of occupying themselves
with everything connected with the
new chancellor and every fact, even
the most trifiing, is read with avidity
throughout Germany. HOhenlohe, on
his return to StraSburg for "A short
stay, in order to set the affairs of his
administration completely in order for
his successor, was the recipient of null
tifarious manifestations Of regret at
his leaving. In Prussian political cir
>cles much heart-burning continues con-
cerning the composition Of the prus-
sian ministry, which, it is remarked
In many quarters with deal Of feel
ing, contains only three native Prus-
slams. The new minister of justice
DR.. Schoenstedt, like Prince Hohen'
lobe, is Catholic and this has aroused
anger among the strict PrOtestantS OF
the Kreuz-Zeitung stripe.
It is stated that Emperor William is
working on Il one-act-opera liberetto
which is based upon German mythOl
ogy. The work is described as being
in the Wagnerian style and is said tt
be almost completed. / will be per
formed for the first time at the roya
palace.
The leading merchants of BerliI
have addressed long communication
to the chancellor protesting agains
some of the main paragraphs in thu
Beerse reform bill, drafted by the gov
eminent, which is to be introduced il
the reichstag. The bill aims particu
larry at the virtual extinction of trans
actions in futures on the German
boerse. Great preparations are beins
made for national celebration O
Prince Bismarck'S eightieth birthda,
which occurs April i, next.

ORDER ISSUED BARRING AMER

Danish Minister at Wash
ingtOn.

Copenhagen, Nov. 20.-Minister OF
the Interior Hoerring has issued de-
cree to take effect Immediately. forbid
ding the import of live cattle and
fresh meat from the United States.
Washington, Nov. 2O.-COunt Rev
entlow, the Danish minister, first
heard of the action of Denmark III ex-
Guiding American beef and meats,
through the associated press cable
from Copenhagen. The count ex-
pressed surprise at the action. He
said that the action probably was due
to a request from Germany, as beef
received at Danish ports frequently
would find it's way into Germany and
thus overcome German restrictions.
Count Reventlow says Denmark uses
very little American beef or meat pro-
ducts He feels that the action of Den
mark is not so much aimed against
the United States as it is to make Den
marks neighbor, Germany, effective in
her exclusions.

the death of Riordan, Fitzsimmons'
partner, said: Il am sorry to hear of
the accident, because such occurrences
hurt boxing. 1t makes it look as if
the sport is really dangerous and
brutal, when it is not at all. Riordan
was weak from disease and drinking
and in no condition to participate in
such an exhibition. He was without

on the jaw he was knocked senseless
and never came to. If this accident to
FitZsimmonS delays our match, l will
wait for him as long as necessary and
then give him fight, or, if any one
else wants to step in in the meantime,

for Riordan and sorry Fitzsimmons
has got into trouble, but I know it to
be of no serious consequence and it
need not have any effect on our
match"

FOR A SILVER TRUST.
Scheme TO Control the Entire White
Metal Market

Denver, Nov. IA syndicate is
scheming to obtain control of the sill
yer market with a view to debating
the price of the white metal to all
the silver-using countries. A confer
ence to that end will be held this
week between representatives Of the
shelters of the country and the lead
ing silver-producing mines at Pueblo
Two reports are current as to the de-
tails of the proposed plan. One is
that a syndicate, backed by J. d.
Rockefeller and the RothchildS. will
obtain control Of all shelters in the
United States and Mexico and arbi-
trarily fix the price of silver, regard
less of supply and demand. According
to another report the proposition is to
have the silver of all smelters handled
through a single agency, effecting a
saving of IA cent per ounce. 1t is
understood there is a hitch in details.

chance to pick up the ball she gath

against the fence at one end of the
grounds for goal, for there were no

they were piled five deep. They
played real football and punted the
