Repetition of the Caprivi Attacks
That Preceded the Ex-Chan-

man p0lltlcS this week. one was the
commencement of a serious cam
paign against the chancellor, Prince
Hohenlche, and the other was the
affront offered the latter by the Aus
TRAN premier, Count Goluchowsky,
and the consequent estrangement OF
the leading statesmen of the allied
powers. The tGoluchowsky-Hoh
lohe affair is being carefully cloaked
officially in Berlin, as well as in
Vienna, and as a result the Austrian
premier's motives for offending the
German chancellor have not been
learned. But it appears that Prince
Hohenlohe, soon after arriving at
Ausse, had an audience with En-
peror Francis Joseph, and, accord
ing to an understanding arrived at
with the emperor, he wrote a friend
ly letter to Count Goluchowsky,
who was at Ischl, near by, asking
for a long and confidential confer
ence and inviting him to his estate
at AusSe. The Austrian premier re-
piled that he would be glad to see
Prince Hohenlohe later at Vienna,
hundreds of miles off. The chancel-
lor felt that Count GoluchoWSky'S
response was an insult, and did not
make any reply. The conference,
therefore, did not occur, as when
Count Goluchowsky, after an inter-
view with the Austrian emperor,
tried to make amends for his rude
ness by sending a courier to Ausse
announcing his coming, Prince Ho-
henlohe replied that he was going
| hunting and could not see the count.
| There is much conjecture in polit-
| zeal circles as to whether this I'M
| pleasant incident will have the eff
| feet of disturbing the cordial rela-
| tionS between the two cabinets At
tacks on Prince Hohenlohe, after
series of innuendoes and reproaches,
especially from the agrarian and
radical press, have been simultan-
eously inaugurated in earnest by the
Conservative organ Kreuz Zeitnug
| and by the Freissinnige party
mouthpiece, the Vossische Zeitung
The latter has devoted several col
umns to showing that Prince Ho-
henlohe is not reliable in his prom
ises, unstable in his policy and con-
| victionS, and therefore quite untitled
for the post which he occupies. The
! Kreuz Zeitung has bluntly blamed
Prince Hohenlohe for the desperate
condition Of husbandry in Germany
and for the fact that the govern
ment could not, without giving guar
antees for fulfilling its promises,
| have made a count of a majority
in either the diet or the reichstag.
These attacks are construed as be-
ing the beginning of a bitter war on
the chancellor. The situation is SIM
liar to that of year ago, when Won
Caprivi was hunted down.
LOUIS STERN'S SCRAPE.
A petition signed by William
Waldorf Aston, United States Con-
sui Carpenter, MI. Simonster, of New
York, Louis Stern and others, has
been presented to the Bavarian gov
eminent at Munich, asking that
| justice be granted in the case of
Louis Stern, who has been charged
with undertaking his sons age in
order to avoid the payment of a tax,
and that the court at kissingen ex-
pedite a hearing of the charge. In
the absence of the United States am
bassador at Berlin, Hon. Theodore
Runyon, John B. Jackson, secretary
of the United States legation, has
obtained the active cooperation of
| Count Won Leechenfeld, Bavarian
minister at Berlin. Mr.. Stern, who
has been bailed in the sum of $4,000
marks, is now travelling elsewhere
with his family, pending his ap-
! pearance before the court at Kis-
singer.
The German exports for the past
six months show an increase of
165, 100000 marks, compared with the
same period of 1894. The increase in
sugar alone is 45,3OO,OOO marks.
During the early part of the week
severe thunder storms and cloud
bursts did much damage throughout
Germany. Hail storms destroyed
| the crops around Metz, in the Moselle
district, in the Chine valley and in
| the district Of Bautzen, SaXony, and
moliShed houses about Heidelberg.
The greatest damage, however, was
caused in the valley of the Danube
In Bavaria the village of Geiselhere-
| ing was entirely destroyed. There
was much loss of life also. Six per-
sons We're killed in the Chine pro-
vinces alone.
HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS.
The emperor has spent a week at his
| favorite pastime, reviewing and ex-
| erciSing troops on the Doberitz field,
the new maneuvering ground for the
| guards, which cost 7,000,0 900 marks. His
majesty is negotiating for the purchase
of the castle of Dwasiben, on the
Island of Rugen, in the Baltic, where
the imperial children are spending the
summer. On the way home from Lake
Constance the crown prince and his
brother 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 acrons.' The
empress has not yet completely recov-
cred her health, and is still unable to
join her children. But her condition
is not very serious. On his way to
England, where he will attend the
Cowes regatta, Emperor William will
touch at Heligoland, in order to see
what measures are necessary to keep
that tiny rock from crumbling away
His majesty has caused to be con-
structed for the imperial yacht re-
production of the imperial standard
formed of electric lights, which will
be displayed from the Hohenzollern
during the emperor's visit to Cowes.
Prince Bismarck is in excellent
health just now. He takes daily walks
and drives, but DR.. Schweninger in.
