GERMAN POLITICS
Coalition to Give the Government
Majority.
SECRETS SOLD TO FRANCE
Emperor William Is Having His Jsua
Sporting Luck. killing 20 Stays
Himself.

Berlin. Sept. 2S.-Prince Won Hohen
lobe. the German imperial chancellor.
mas abandoned the attempt to secure
a majority in the reichstag through
the aid of the centrist votes. The CEN
trist party furnished ample proof last
winter Of being both irreconcilable and
unreliable and Prince Bismarck's ad-
vice on this point is said to have chang
ed the opinion that Prince Won HON.
enlohe formerly held. Negotiations are
now ON foot between the factions Of The
conservative party and the national
liberals and moderates to secure con-
certed action throughout the next ses-
sion OF the reichstag on the most vital
or government measures. The move
ment which is almost certain to sue
coed will give the government a more
stable majority than ever Won Caprivi
had.
Among the principal government
measures which will be introduced at
the coming session of the reichstag are:
For the reform of the bourse, for the
protection of mechanical trades against
dishonest competition, for the relief of
agricultural toilers and for the fedora
ton of husbandry.
Among those who have been arrested
in connection with the discovery that
secrets regarding the national defense
were being sold to the French, is a for
mer Bavarian army officer, Ludwig
Pfeiffer, in whose rooms in Berlin were
found models and drawings of German
defense works and letters from the
French military bureau. Altogether Is
accused will be tried at Leipsic.
Emperor William has been having bis
usual sporting luck at Rominten. He
killed 25 stays with his own hand on
Thursday. He has ordered that st.
Hilberts Day, which occures on No
vember 3, shall be kept by a great chase
in Grunewald, near Berlin, to which
King Albert of Saxony is invited.
The relations between Emperor Will
liam and Prince Won Hohenlohe are SO
strained that it would not be surpris-
| ing If there should be a new incumbent
of the imperial chancellorship before
| the expiration of year from the date
| on which the prince was appointed,
which was on October 20. 1894.
| The traffic of the Baltic canal has not
| developed in way to meet the expec-
tatIons of it's promoters. Owing to
the numerous accidents and high tolls
charged, only 700 vessels passed
| through the canal during August. The
fact that a scale of higher charges goes
into effect October i, is likely to further
reduce the traffic through the canal
The government, however, appears to
be confident of the ultimate success Of
the canal.
Prince Henry of Prussia has been ap-
pointed a rear admiral of the Austrian

Results of n Test at baltimore or an
Electric Locomotive.
Baltimore, Sept. 2S.-Tests have been
made by Baltimore and Ohio officials
with view to determining the extent of
the pulling capacity of the electric loco
motives. At recent test made in the
tunnel, where the grade Is ~ feet to the
mile, one was attached to a train of q
loaded cars and two dead steam locomo-
tives. The weight was 1922 tons, and
there was no slack. In one minute. ac-
tual time, the electric locomotive had the
whole train moving at the rate of l0Ib
miles an hour. from which point the
speed increased to the usual figure. The
train resistance was 20 pounds per ton
of which 16 pounds was due to the grade
pull. Railroad men declared the trial re-
