prove that the Kladderdatch has
asserted and much more concern
ing the conspiracy of Holstein, Kidderln,
tulenburg < Co, TO haSass the old chancel-
lor. The Frankfurter Zeitung urges upon
the three accused officials the necessity of
prosecuting the Zukunft and Kladder-
jatsch as the latest charges against them
mean nothing less than corruption and
mlsmanagement in the foreign Office, and
affect uufavOrably even the diplomat
corps and court officials.
GERMAN-ANIERICAN RESCUED,
The United States embassy has inter-
vened successfully to rescue Siegerfried
Apt, an American citizen, from the
clutches of German militarism. Apt en-
igrated from Germany to the United
States when he was IA years of age.
He was naturallzed and eight
years later return to Berlin. He had
hardly set foot in the city before he was
summoned to a recruiting depot, from
which he was taken to the barracks and
drilled. He protested repeatedly against t
the right of the military authoritiestoim-
press him into the service, but for some
time his protests Were not needed. Even
tually he was allowed to draw up a state
ment and send it to the United States
embassy. Ambassador Runyon at once
lodged a demand at the foreign office for
his immediate release. The next morn
ing Apt was a free man in citizens
clothes.
TRIP OF THE EMPRESS.
The true reason for the trip of the en-
press to A Dazzia has been obscured, but
in the last two days it has become an
open secret. Her majesty has enfeebled
her health by unwlse efforts to reduce
her weight. Last year she gained flesh
rapidly, although her physical strength
showed no corresponding increase. She
became annoyed as well as alarmed,
and began taking a heroic treat
ment at the beginning of the winter
Her weight was brought down, but her
constitution was not strong enough to
withstand the severity Of the methods
employed. The imperial physicians think
that six weeks or two months in Abazzia
will suffice to restore her health
Emperor William will attend on Tues
day DR. Miquel's official dinner.
WREATus ON THE GREAT WILLIAMS TOMB.
The emperor. empress and the crown
prince drove to CharlOtten burg on Fri
day and placed wreaths on the sarcopha-
gus Of Emperor William 1. They did
this in observance of the sixth anniver-
sary OF the old emperOrs death.
Berlin newspapers agree that the Aus
trian project of electoral reform is impOs-
sible, mainly because il is so reactionary
1t would leave intact the parliamentary
representation of the land owners, and
would reduce the deputies of the towns
from III TO sixty, and those of the coun-
ties from 130 to eighty. Part of the seats
thus left free would be given to depu-
ties elected by the chambers of
industry. A Reichrath constituted
after this plan would be controlled by
the land owners and capitalists. The
project was prepared by Count Hohen-
wart, leader of the feudal clericals and
has not yet been accepted by the govern
ment- If the conservatives should insist
upon its acceptance, the government Goa
lition would go to pieces.
RUSSIA RESTRICTING PRIVILEGES.
The car has decreed that all the privi-
leges now enjoyed by the German colo
nists in Southern Russia be gradually re-
pealed, that the primary schools in
the German districts be brought
under the supervision of the min
istry of education, and that all
instruction in German be suppressed.
Deep significance is ascribed to a new
government coalition in Wurtemburg. The
old coalition of the Catholics and Lu-
thePan democrats has been ruptured, and
the Catholics will form an Independent
clerical party in the Stuttgart parliament.
The coalition was formed originally to
break the power of the national
The Catholics say that at the last
reichstag election their allies tried to win
seats at the expense of the clericals, and
therefore must be treated as traitors.
This is regarded merely as a makesbift
excuse. The true reason for the rupture
is that the heir TO the Wurtemburg throne
is Catholic
