Berlin, Aug. 3.-The Tageblatt publishes
an editorial article to-day upon the case Of
Louis Stern of New York, who was ar
rested at Kissingen a short time ago for
insulting Freiherr Vonthuengen, deputy
commissioner Of the Spa. In its express
sion of opinion concerning the case, the
paper is rather severe upon Mr.. Stern,
who. through the later developments of
the matter has lost much Of the sympathy
which was at first bestowed upon him.
THE Stern case" the Tageblatt says,
sis beginning to assume a political color
ing. The fact that the Americans sojourn-
ing at Kissingen, who were not acqualnt-
ed with the circumstances, espoused Mr..
| Stern's cause does honor to the esprit du
corps among them, but we shall be sur
plised if the American embassy identities
itself with Mr.. Sterns case. Mir. Stern did
not act properly, and Americans cannot
expect to be treated differently from
Germans at German watering places"
Upon reading this article the correspon-
dent Of the United Press sought an inter
view with Count Won Lerchenfeld-Kofer-
ing, the Bavarian minister to Prussia,
who said that the case had no political
! Importance whatever, adding THE
| American charge daffares recognizes this
fact and has very properly refrained from
troubling the German foreign Office with
representations, but relying upon his per-
] sonal and friendly relations with The Ba-
| varian legation he has obtained that oih-
! cial support which was alone given him
| from motives Of courtesy towards the
| embassy of the United States Neither
| the Bavarian minister nor the BaVarlan
l government can interfere with the ordi-
nary course of law courts, but the Bava-
/ rian government on Aug. l addressed
/ letter To- the United States consul at Bam-
/ berg informing him that the government
had used its good offices to cause Baron
! Nonthuengen TO withdraw the libel suit
/ he had instituted against Mr.. Stern, or
| plead for the imposition upon Mr.. Stern
| of the smallest possible fine. But the
| criminal court at Schweinturst has begun
| proceedings against Mr.. Stern on the
/ charge of resisting an officer under para
/ graph 1l3 OF the criminal law, and punish
| ment upon conviction of this oIense must
follow. Mr.. Stern had obtained the ad-
vantage, however, that the case Will be
| tried in the minor court at Kissingen,
| where the punishment will be much
lighter than if the case were tried in the
| higher courts.
The commissioner of the Spa at Kissin-
gan has forbidden the sale on the street
of the Neue Bayerische Landes Zeitung,

The empress and her two Oldest sons,
/ Crown Prince William and Prince Etel
| Frederick started this afternoon for Stet-
tin, where they will proceed TO Sassnitz
on board the German dispatch boat Kaiser

take a special train for Brunsbuettel,'

| lern for Helogland, making brief stop

Prince Hohenlohe's delayed meeting
with Count Goluchowsl<i, the Austrian
| minister of foreign affairs, will take
place at Aussee tomorrow. It was stated
/ by the official press that Count Golu-
! chowski and Prince Hohenlohe had an
| interview on Friday last, but the Deutsche
| Tage Zeitung has an entirely
! different account of the affair.
According to this paper, Prince
fIohenlohe invited the Austrian
! minister to visit him at Aussee, but Count
| Goluchowsld replied that he would prefer
! to receive the prince in Vienna. Prince
| Hohenlohe felt hurt at this answer and
made no reply, and when Count Golu-
| chowsId obeying the orders of the Aus
| trian emperor, presented himself at Aus
see, Prince HohenlOhe sent word to him
that he had gone hunting.

| Economic problems latterly are driving
purely political questions into the back
ground The organization of handicrafts
occupies the chief place. The conserva-
tives and a majority Of the centrists de-
mand the introduction Of the compulsory
guilds for the organization of the handi-
| crafts. only those who have passed an
examination and proved proficient being
allowed TO conduct an Independent busi-
ness. The radicals, socialists and national
liberals oppose this scheme and
champion industrial freedom. The gov
ernment summoned an artisans confer
! ance. to which was submitted a draft of
measures for the organization Of the
trades. The government assented to the
| suggestion Of the conference that large
nanufacturers should contribute to defray
the expenses which the guilds may incur
for the beautiful emblems, but stated that
II could not under any conditions at pres
ent fulfill the wishes of the conference in
/ regard 10 the certificates Of proficiency.
