tics this week. One was the COM
mencement of a serious campaign
against the Chancellor, Prince Hohen-
lohe, and the other was the affront Of
fered the latter by the Austrian Pre-
mier, Count Goluchowsky, and the con-
sequent estrangement of the two lead
ing statesmen of the allied powers.
The Goluchowsky- -Hohenlobe affair is
being carefully cloaked officially in
Belin as well as in Vienna, and, as
result, the Austrian Premier's motives
for offending the German Chancellor
have not been learned But Ii appears
that Prince Hohenlohe, soon after
driving at Ausseo, had an audience
with Emperor Francis Joseph, and, ac-
cording to an understanding arrived at
with the Emperor, Prince Hohenlohe
wrote a friendly letter to his new col
league GoluchOwsky, who was at lsohl,
nearby, asking for long and confiden-
tial conference and inviting him to
his estate at Ausseo. The Austrian
Premier replied telling Prince Hohen-
lohe that he would be glad to see him
later on at Vienna, hundreds of miles
off. The Chancellor felt THAT Count
Goluchowsky's response was an insult
and did not make any reply. The con-
ference, therefore, did not occur, as
when Count GoluchOwsky, after an in
| tervew with the Austrian Emperor,
tried to make amends for his rudeness,
by sending a courier to AusseO, an
|
lohe replied that he was going hunting
and could
NOT SEE THE COUNT.
There is much conjecture in political
circles as to whether the unpleasant
incident will have the effect of disturb
ing the cordial relations between the
two cabinets.
The attacks upon Prince Hohenlohe,
after a series of innuendoes and re-
| proaches, especially from the Agrarian
and Radical press, have been stimuli
taneously inaugurated in earnest by the
aiding Conservative organ, the Kreuz
Zeitung and by the Freinsinnige party
mouthpiece, the Vossische Zeitung.
The latter has devoted several columns
| to showing that Prince HOhenlohe is
not reliable in his promises, unstable
in his policy and convictions, and there
fore quite untitled for the post which
he now occupies.
The Kreuz Zeitung, on the other
hand has bluntly blamed Prince Hoh-
enlohe for the desperate condition of
husbandry in Normandy and for the
fact that the government could not,
without giving guarantees for fulfill
ing its promises, have made a count of
the majority in either the Diet or the
Reichstag
These attacks are construed as being
the beginning of a bitter war on the
Chancellor. The situation is similar
to that of year ago, when General
Won Caprivi was hunted down.
A PETITION SIGNED
by Mr.. William Waldorf Astor, United
States Consul Carpenter, Mr. Simon
ster, of New York, Mr. Louis Stern and
others, has been presented to the Ba-
varian government at Munich, asking
that justice be presented in the case
| of Mr.. Louis Stern, who has been
charged with under-stating his sons
age in order to avoid the payment of a
| tax.
Mr. Stern, who has been bailed in
the sum of $4,000 marks, is now travel
ing elsewhere with his family, pend
ing his appearance before the court at
Kissingen.
The German exports for the past six
months show an Increase of 100000 600
marks compared with the same period
of 1894.
During the early part of the week
| severe thunder storms and cloudbursts
did much damage throughout Germany,
hail stones destroyed the crops around
Metz, in the Mozelle district, in the
Rhine Valley, and hurricanes devas-
tated the fields and demolished houses
about Heidelberg. The greatest dam
age, however, was caused in the valley
of the Danube In Bavaria, the viii
lage of Geiselhering was entirely de-
stroyed. There was much loss of life
also. Six persons were killed in the
Rhine Provinces alone.
The Emperor has spent a week at his
favorite pastime, reviewing and exer-
cising troops on the Doeberitz field, the
new manouevering grounds for the
guards, which cost 100000 marks.
His Majesty is negotiating for the
purchase of
THE CASTLE OF DWASIBEN,

where the Imperial children are spend
ing the summer.
On their way home from Lake Con-
stance the Crown Prince and his broth
er visited the cradle of their race, the
castle of Hohenzollern, and were shown
over it by Prince Hohenzollern.
The Crown Prince is reported to have
said, after looking at the castle: How
tall oaks grow from acorns."
The Empress has not yet completely
recovered her health and is still unable
to Join her children. But her condi-
tion is not very serious.
On his way to England, where he
will attend the Cowes regatta. Emperor
William will touch at Heligoaland in
order to see what measures are neces-

Previous to his departure His Majesty
caused to be constructed for the Impe-
rial yacht a reproduction of the lmpe-
rial standard, formed of electric lamps,
which will be displayed from the Ho-
henzollern during the Emperor's visit
