BERLIN CABLE LETTER.
Berlin, Nov. 23-(Copyrighted, 1895, by
the Associated Press)-The proposed re-
| form in the procedure of military trials
in Germany promises to cause serious
| friction between the emperor and the
cabinet, and may possibly bring about
| cabinet crisis The minister for war,
| General Bronsart Won Schomberg, pub
! licly declared in the reichstag last winter
that unless he won his majesty over to his
! view of the propriety of publicity in all
would resign, and the chancellor, Prince
| Hohenlohe has made similar declara-
ton in public. Emperor William, how
| ever will not hear of public trials for
such cases, fearing that they will often
| furnish the Socialists with facts and ar
guments which will be used as a detri-
ment to military discipline and the gen
| eral efficiency of the army. In this view
the emperor is upheld by Herr Won Keel
| ler Prussian minister for the interior,
and other influential men of his entour-
age. Hence friction is certain to arise,
and especially as the minister for war in
sists upon introducing a bill to reform
military trials at the coming session of
the reichstag. The matter has been dis
cussed several times at the cabinet coun-
ellis held during the past fortnight.
Another bill which will be introduced
shortly after the reichstag meets pro-
vides for an increase of the sugar export
bounties from one and quarter marks
to four marks, which is as sop to the
agrarians.
The new oleomargarinc bill increases
the stringency of the regulations to rem
der the import into Germany of all arti-
fetal substitution for butter and lard vir-
tually impossible and the large increase
of the sugar bounty is intended to facili-
tate the export of German sugar to
America and to put the German export
ers in better position to compete with
the French, Belgian and Austrian ex-
porters. 1t also means new move on
the part of the German government as to
bounties that were to stop i'll 1897 and
Germany will have to pay 4S,000,O00
marks bounties instead of 100000
marks.
The emperor has ordered the imperial
yacht HohenZollern to be ready for his re-
ception in the middle of February, and it
is rumored in court circles that he will
make series of visits to friendly courts
early in the year, visiting Cronstadt and
St. Petersburg in response to the verbal
invitation of the car, and then going to
Copenhagen, England, Portugal and
Spain.
Recently the punishment of officers for
abusing soldiers under their command
has been much more severe, two non
commissioned officers of the Alexander
| guard infantry regiment regiment having
been sentenced, one to eight and the other
to four weeks Imprisonment for cruelty
| to privates.
| Herr Won Koeller has instructed the
local authorities to draft into the army
wherever possible all men up to 30 years
| of age, who, after emigrating before the
| age of IL and thus avoiding military SER
| vice, return to this country and apply for
German naturalization. Such cases are
numbering into the thousands yearly.
Two granite tablets with appropriate
| inscriptions have arrived here from Ger
man-Americans in New York and San
| Francisco, to be placed on Bismarck tow
er at Goettingen.
DR.. Ahlwardt the notorious anti-sem-
tie, has announced his intention of ac-
cepting the invitation extended him by a

America and lecture in the chief cities of
the States this winter.
DR.. julius Bosse, the minister of edu-
cation, has granted to 81 American wom
en- permission to attend the winter lee
lures of the Berlin university. AS a
result, the German women, many of
whom have been refused permission to
| attend this course of instruction, have
formally complained of this alleged fav-
oritism. There is no doubt the German
women desiring to matriculate still have
great obstacles thrown in their way.
The professors of the German UNIVERSE
ties are especially opposed to women,
one of the renowned professors of Ger
man literature recently requesting the
minister of education to prohibit the at
tendance of ladies at his lectures, and
the historian suddenly suspended his lee
turc on seeing lady in the audience and
led her out of the hall. Altogether 81
students are entered at the Berlin uni

clared Mr. Stern's bail, 10000 marks
$4,000 TO be forfeited.
