Germany's New Chancellor.

Prince Won Observation-Disclosures urstt,
Governor of Alsace-Lorraine, finally ac
cepted the Chanceliorship. though at first
he declined that honor. Ee also accepted
the Premiership of Prussia.
Herr Won Koeller, Under Secretary Of the
Interior for the Province of Alsace-Lorraine,
succeeds Count Botho zu Eulenburg, as
Prussian Minister of the Interior.
The final cause of Count Won Caprvi's
fall is this:
Count Won Caprivi had an audience with
the Emperor to discuss the ministerial
situation and the outlines of the proposed
anti-Socialist measures. He referred to the
opposition which he had encountered in tho
conference of federal ENJOYS, and asked tho
Emperor te give binding pledge that the
whole Government support uniformly the
programme of the chancellery.
The Emperor declined to promise. Some
temper was displayed on both sides, al
though there was no quarrel. Eventually
Caprivi stated the alternative between the
promise and his immediate resignation, and
tie Emperor accepted the resignation.

GERMANY STRIKES BACK.
Retaliation FOR the Discrimination
Against Beet Sugar.


Against Beet Sugar.
A despatch from Hamburg, Germany,
says 1.-THE Senate has published a decree
prohibiting the importation of American
live cattle AMI fresh beef on the ground that
iwo cargoes which had Just arrived con-
aimed several animals suffering from Texas
lever"
The German Ambassador at Washington
mas informed the Secretary of State that
Germany will prohibit tho importation of
beef and cattle from this country on the
ground that cattle imported from this coun-
ry have been found to be infected by Texas
lever, While this IS tho Ostensible ground,
here Is little GOubt that Germany is seeking
20 retaliate for the imposition by the Tariff
law Of n discriminating duty upon German
oeet sugar. It is well know that the
agrarian population of Germany, which is
both large and influential. is much angered
against this Government for the dis
eliminating duty placed upon their beet
.ugar.
Assistant Secretary Dabney, acting rs Sec
'etary OfAgricuIture during the absence O Nh.
Morton, lost no time in entering a vigorous
protest against the action Of Germany He
sent the following telegram to tho Secretary
Of State
"ReferrinG to your telegram in regard 20
the prohibition of American cattle and fresh
beef by Germany, please represent to the
German Ambassador that Texas fever is
not communicated by diseased cattle. and
that even If tho reported discovery
Of this disease is correct there ig no danger
to German cattle: also that the meat o.
cattle affected with this disease has mover
been shown to be dangerous to the con-
sumner. This Government inspocta all meat
exported and cCrtIfies that the cattle were
tree from disease when slaughtered. Wig
orous protest should therefore be entered
against the proposed action"
Speaking Of the subject, Mr.. Dabney said
tie Department would maintain its position
and he believed thai the German people, u.s.
ually reasonable in all things, would see that
they were mistaken in this matter and re-
move their objections to our meat.
The Bremen Sen ate has acted with that Of
Hamburg in prohibiting the importation OF
i've cattle or fresh meat from this country.

A HINT TO FRUIT GROWERS.

The lesson for fruit growers to learn
is that quality, not quantity, is want
ed. The markets, in their season,
are generally glutted with second
class fruit, but the supply of first
class article never equals the demand.
Stand in any good commission house
and watch the sales. The best goes
first and speedily-the last to go is
the poorest stock, which buyers who
cannot do better, or who have a cheap
trade, must use. AS in everything
else, there is room at the top. -Ameri-

Pneumatic BurSies.

An early revolution in the matter Of con.
struction and locomotion of carriages is
more than limited at in the exhibits and
proceedings of the twenty-second annual
convention of the Chicago Builders National
Association in Industrial Hall, Phila-
delphia. Most noticeable were several en-
tirely new styles of running gear in which
the pneumatic tire and ball bearings which
have proven so speedy for bicycles and
sulkies are employed. Many OF the car
riage builders, and notably the progressive
men from the West, predict that In few
years scarcely any other style of carriage
gear will be used. They say they can see
in the not very dim distance of the future
noiseless carriages speeding around through
the avenues of great cities with motormen
on the drivers seat and the ''horses" con.
cealed in little dynamo or storage battery
under the seat.

SHOT HIS WIFE.
Frederick Merit, Baker, Then
Ended His Own Life.

Frederick Merit, n baker, thirty-seven
years old, murdered his wife, Marie, in New
York City and then killed himself. The
tragedy occurred about 4 p. m. on the third
floor of No. 227 East Forty-second street
The woman was shot in the side, and died
while being removed in an ambulance
to Bellevue Hospital. Mertx sent
a bullet inio his own head and
died instantly. The motive for the erin
seems to have been insane jealousy on the
part of the husband. The place where the
murder and suicide occurred is a barroom
aud boarding house kept by George Wiser.
Mrs. Mertz is said to have had an interest in
the business
Mertz and his wife came to this country in
August, 1891, from Germany. On August
Is, 1881, they were married. The woman
had a little money which she invested in a
small barrOOm in Fourteenth street Mertz
worked at his trade as baker while his wife
managed the barroom.

good of John B. Wilson's pocket. He
refused to sell gentlemen stock in the
road, thinking there was a big for

wanted to exclude everybody else

Still, according to the Democratic
theory Mr.. Wilson is not a good bus

whom has Mr.. Matthaei been working
for the past forty years? For himself
and family, or for charity If Mr.. VIII
son owned street railway stock and
had faith in the ultimate success of the
enterprise, by what code OF morals or
business ethics was he obliged to dis
pose of his property? On the theory
suggested by the Statesman. Mr.. Mat

his brick houses, because, perchance,
someone needed or wanted a brick

points, and yet the encampment is
four months away. There will be
1000 mounted mel in the procession,
which is expected to consume over
eight hours in passing a given point

be on a scale OF niaguificence eve be-
fore known in Western Pennsylvania.
Letters received indicate that there
will be a remarkable reunion of veter-
ans who have gone out into the world

Republican League Convention !

Inc OlXJn n state convention
of the State Republican League of Clubs,
for the election of officers for the ensu-
ing year and the selection of delegates to
the National Convention, which meets in
Denver, Colorado, June 26, will meet at
Fairmont, June 10, and it is important
that there should be as full a representa-
ton of the clubs of the State as possible.
Never in the history of the country has
the incompetency of the Democratic par
ty, which rode into power under the hal
fluctuations of 1899, been so marked and
impressive. The Republican party hand
ed over to Grover Cleveland and his
Congress of incompetents a prosperous
and happy country, and in N years
time they put out the fires in furnaces,
stopped the wheels of the mills, closed
the doors of the factory, and scattered
widespread distress and financial disas-
ter over the land.
The people who voted for a change
see their mistake, and in the emergency
turn again to the Grand Old Party for
relief. The hypocrisy of the Democratic
party now stands clearly revealed to the
country, and in the coming struggle for
the rehabilitation of the American work
ingman, the preservation of our indus
tries, and the integrity Of the purchasing
and debt-paying power of the dollar, the
return of prosperity and plenty, the Re-
publican party is called on to rise to the
occasion. 1t has never failed in any cri-
sis in the country's history, and ON this
occasion its mission is of equal grandeur
and patriotism with its past glorious
achievements.
The convention at Fairmont means
more than a coming together of the rep
resentatiyes of the Republican clubs in
love feast. The Democratic party is
lican party is armed and aggressive and
intends to force the fighting. The larger
the attendance on this meeting the great
er will be the moral effect. 1t therefore
behooves the Republicans in every dis
tilCb III tHC ptdlt W olSdulLC duu ScHu
to the convention delegates who can give
reasonable assurance of being present.
Each club IS entitled to a representation
of five delegates.
The selection of Fairmont as the place
of meeting was a happy one. The people
are warm-hearted and hospitable, and
there will be ample accommodations for
all who may attend. Those two cham
pions of Protection, Governor Mckinley
and Hon. Thomas b. Reed, have been
invited to be present, and there is every
reason to believe that they will be in at
tendance and explode the follies and fall
lacies of the Wilson bill at the very door
step of the father of that destructive, de-
moralizing, un- American measure. Let
US rally and send forth the cry, No more

pauper wages, no more ruin for capi=
