Berlin, Aug. 3.-There have been two
sensational facts Ia German politics
this week One was the commence
ment of a serious campaign against
the chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, and
the other was the afFront offered the
latter by the Austrian premier, Count
Goluchowsky, and the consequent es-
arrangement Of the elading statesmen
Of the allied powers. The Gclushows-
ky-HohenIohe AFFAIR Is being carefully
cloaked officially in Berlin as well as in
Vienna and as the result, the Austrian
premier's motive for offending the Ger
man chancellor has not been learned.
But it appears that Prince Hohenlohe
soon after arriving at Ausse, had an
audience with Emperor Franz Josef
and according TO an understanding ar
rived at with the emperor, Prince Ho-1
henlohe wrote a friendly letter TO his
new colleague, Count Goluchowsky.
who was at Ischl, near by, asking for
a long and confidential conference and
inviting him to his estate at Ausse. The
Austrian premier replied, telling Prince
see him later in Vienna hundreds OF
miles of. The chancellor felt that
Count Goluchowsky' response was an
insult and did not make any reply. The
conference therefore did not occur, as
when Count Goluchowsty, after an In
terview with the Austrian emperor.
tried to make amends for his rudeness
by sending a courier to Ausse announc-
ing his coming, Prince Hohenlohe re-
piled that he was going hunting and
could not see the count. There Is much
conjecture In political circles as TO
whether this unpleasant incident viii
have the effect Of disturbing the cordial
relations of the two cabinets.
PRESS ATTACKS HOHENLOHE.
The attack upon Prince Hohenlohe
after series Of innuendoes and re-
proaches, especially from the Agrarian
and Radical press, have been stimuli
taneously inaugurated in earnest by
the leading Conservative organ, the
KreuZe Zeitung and by the Freisinnige
party mouthpieces, the Vossich Zeit-
Jung. The latter has devoted several
columns to showing that Prince Ho-
henlohe is not reliable In his promises,
unstable in his policy and convictions,
and therefore quite unfit for that post
which he occupies. The Kreuze Zeit-
ung on the other hand has bluntly
blamed Prince Hohenlohe for the des-
perate condition OF husbandry in Ger
many and for the fact that the govern
ment could not. without giving guar
antees for fulfilling its promises, have
made count Of 8. majority in either
the diet or the reichstag. The attacks
are construed as being the beginning OF
a bitter war on the chancellor. The
situation Is similar TO that Of a year
ago when Won Caprivi was hunted
down.
A petition signed by Mr.. william
Waldorf Aston. United States Consul
Carpenter, Mr.. Simon Sterne Of New

derstating his sons age in order to

lin, the Hon. Theodore Runyons Mr.

DESTRUCTIVE CLOUDBURSTS.
During the early part OF the week
severe thunderstorms and cloudbursts
did much damage throughout Germa-
ny. Hailstorms destroyed the crops
around Metz, In the Moselle district,
In the Rhine valley and In the district
OF Bautzen, Saxony, and hurricanes
devastated the fields and demolished
houses about Heidelberg. The greatest
damage, however, was caused in the
valley of the Danube. In Bavaria the
village OF GeiseIhering was entirely des
| troyed. There was much loss OF life
also. Six persons were killed In the
Rhine province alone.
