BERLIN, Oct. 6.-The czsr's health ia
the topic uppermost in the public mind,
and the possibility OF the demise of the
Russian emperor is widely discussed.
The alarming reports received here, al
though not entirely credible, cause the
liveliest interest, as it ia known the
czar's condition is extremely grave.
The cautious Cologne Gazette pub
lished telegram from St. Petersburg to
the effect that the regency which will
be appointed during the czar's absence
from Russia, will consist OF the czare-
witch, Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand
Duke Vladimir, who will be assisted by
a specially appointed council OF min
listers.
Nothing, however. according to the
Cologne Gazette correspondent, has
transpired at St. Petersburg which
would tend to confirm the reports in
circulation regarding changes for the
gorse in the condition of the cgar.
Much depends upon tha weather
prevailing at Livadia during the
czar's stay there. If the conditions
are favorable his sojourn there may be
prolonged. If the weather turns out bad
his majesty will proceed to Corova.
where the chateau of the king Of Greece
has been placed at the czar's disposal.
The Berlin correspondent OF the Asso-
ciated Press had an interview with Prof.
Leyden, the distinguished German
specialist. who with Prof Zscharin, the
noted Russian physician, has been in at
tendance upon the czar. He was asked
in view of the important political bear
ing of the question, TO give the Asso-
ciated Press a definite statement as to
the real nature of the czar's illness, in
order that the actual state of affairs
might be clearly judged. In reply the
professor said:
His MAJESTY is suffering from
Brignt's disease" He added, however,
"But the disease is yet in mild form.
complicated with diabetes. The latter
is caueing difficulty in breathing"
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. Cit was an
nounced today the state OF the czar's
health 10 not such as to give ground for
anxiety. He has been better since leav-
ing Spala and is able to sleep we'll.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Can evening
paper states that weevils are playing
havoc with the stored wheat in this part
of the country. and if something is not
done soon there will be no grain left
with which to load the disengaged ships
now in port. Some days ago it was
publicly stated that 6700 tons OF wheat
at Port Costa was weevily, and now it is
announced that IL, 100 tons ct the Ne
vada dock and 4400 tons more at Port
Costa are infected and will have to be
removed. That makes 22,20O tons unfit
for shipment, and will have to be used
for pig or chicken feed. If the wheat
had been shipped at the low rates of
freight in existence few months ago. a
small profit might have been made.
Now it will be almost total loss.

1t is also strongly questioned whether
the rate OF interest on the new general

AFFAIRS IN THE FATHEkLAND.
Social Demo Unhinges the Brain
of Serious Politicians.


of Serious Politicians.
BERLIN, Oct. 6.-Much attention has
been attracted to q pamphlet written by
Privy Councillor Rossler, at one
time Prince Bismarck's confden-
tial adviser. entitled Social
Democracy. This pamphlet declares
the suspension of the constitutional
dictatorship 10 the only solution for
Germany's domestic troubles, caused by
socialistic and agrarian questions. The
emperor should not be an absolute die
tator, but the writer recommends die
tatorship federal council. In other
words that parliament be dissolved and
the emperor and federal council have all
the legislative powers.
The scheme has been classed as a
mad one and is said only to show how
the fear OF social democracy begina to
unhinge the brain OF serious politicians.
Such proposals., however, are grist to the
Socialist mill.
A pamphlet lately issued here en-
titled Usury and Its Financiers, by Herr
Krause, well-known Socialist in na-
tional economy, has attracted the atten-
ton OF the =. emperor, on account
of the many we'll authenticated sem
sational caees cited in its pages.
Several arrests of local usurers have been
made or evidence furnished by this
pamphlet. The author is preparing an
enlarged edition containing many new
cases.
The suicide OF Albrecht Won Hofen, q
captain in regiment of the guard, was
due to the fact that his financial ruin
was accomplished within few years by
q well known usurer, who will face a
court trial. The captains family has
directly applied to the emperor for JUS
tice.
Another book, likewise exposing men
and methods and dealing, with tbs
same theme, is now in prese.
The emperor has devoted the sum OF
1901 900 marks to the building OF new
church in Potsdam. 1t is to be called
the Friedens (peace) church and will be
erected ia the suburbs OF Potsdam.
Herr Breier, the German minister to
Central America, against whom num-
Der OF serious complaints were made by
German residents in that region,
has been asked to reply to the
charges. In connection with this
case, foreign officers in Berlin are max
ing a series of Investigations into the
complaints against two German repre-.
sentatives in South America.
As an outcome OF the enormous de-
crease in German emigration, the North
Gern Lloyd Steamship company has
declared no dividend this fall and the
price for steerage passage to the United
States has been considerably lower.
Leonora Moltke, the fayorite grand
niece Of the late Field Marshal Won
Molike, was married recently to Cap
tain Neulaon, who is iavorite with the
emperor.

Only One of Its Kiud.

A club which bears the proud distinc-
tion of being the only one of its kind has
just been established in Washington.
Eligibility to membership is ability to do
independent work of some sort-a defini-
tion which does not apply to women
merely holding clerkships.
The title of the organization is the
Business Woman's club, and its inaugu-
ration has been attended with a success
that has far outstripped the most san
guine expectations of it's founders. 1t
was thought that 80 members could be
had, and that number would warrant the
clubs existence, but it is found that there
are close upon 200 women eligible to
membership, and this Notwithstanding
its restrictions.
And how successful the commercial
woman of Washington is may be gath
cred from the fact that of the present
membership there are eight or ten who
make every year out of their own occu-
patton more than acongressman's salary
and few twice as much.
The organization has suit of rooms
down town at COG Eleventh street, N.
W., tastefully fitted, much of the decora-
tions being done by the members, the
water colors and artistic photographs
being the work of club artists. Here it
is designed members may drop in for a
gossip and cup of tea between business
appointments.
The officers of the club are: President,
Mrs. E. S. Mussey; first vice president,
DR.. Clara Bliss Kinds; second vice presi-
dent, Miss Edith Wescott; secretary, Miss
c. M. Flemming; treasurer, Miss Grace
