THE CASE OF MIR. STERN
LOOKS LESS FAVORABLE AT PRESENT
No Doubt He Was Guilty of Impropriety American Sympathy Subsding General

| case or MT. Louis Stern or New 1ork, who was arrested at Kissengen short time ago for insulting Freeher Von Thu | enger. deputy commissioner of the Spa. | In its expression of opinion concerning the case the paper is rather severe upon MT. Stern, who throughout the latter de- velopments of the matter has lost much
 of the sympathy which was at first be- slowed upon him.
 "The Stern case.' the Tageblatt says, lis beginning to assume a political col
 oring The fact that the Americans so- iourning at KiSSengen who were not ac- quainted with the circumstances es- poused Sterns cause is an honor to the esprit du corps among them, but we snail | be surprised if the American embassy identifies itself with MT. Sterns case. 1 Stern did not act properly, and AmerI- | cans cannot expect to be treated differ ently from Germans at German watering places"
 Upon reading this article the core | spondent of the United Press sought an | interview with count Non Lerchenfeiden- | Kofering, the Barvarian minister to | Prussia who said that the case had no present importar D. adding: The Amer l ican charge d'ailaires recognizes thls ] fact and had very properly refralned | from troubling the German foreign of- | flee with representations, but relying 1 upon his personal and friendly relations with the Bavarian legation he has ob- | tained that officials support, which was
 alone given him from motives of courte- l sy towards the embassy of the united | States. Neither the Bavarian minister l nor the Bavarian government can inter 1 fere with the ordinary course of law | courts, but the Bayarian government on l August 1 addressed a letter to the United 1 States consul at Bamburg informing him | that the government had used its good | offices to cause Baron Won Thuengen to l withdraw the libel suit he had instituted l against Stern or plead for the imposition l upon Stern of the smallest possible fine. | But the criminal court of SShweinturst | has begun proceedings against Stern on l the charge of resisting an officer, under l paragraph 113 of the criminal law and l punishment upon conviction of this of- | fense must follow. Stern has obtained l the advantage. however, that the case l will be tried in the minor court at Kis- sengen, where the punishment will be | much lighter than if the case was tried | in the court.''
 The commissioner of the Spa at Kis- | sengen has forbidden the sale on the | streets of the Neu Bayerische Zeitung in | consequence of the violent language that paper has used in treating the case l The empress and her two eldest sons, l Grown Prince William and Prince Eitel | Frederick, started this evening for Stet- l ton. where they will proceed to Sassnitz | on board the German dispatch boat, Kai- l ser Adler. The emperor at the same time l will take special train for Brunsbuttel | where he will embark on the HohenZol- | Tern for Heligoland making brief stop l page there before proceeding for Cowes Emperor William on August 16 will lay | here the foundation stone of the Vaiser | Wilhelm national memorial. Prince Ho- 1 henlohe will be present at the ceremony.
 The emperor on the same day will cele-
 l brate the battle around Metz on the l Templehoff, surrounded by all the regi- l ments of the guards.
 l On the 18th the emperor will attend the | great anniversary celebration of the
 | veterans of the war of 1870, which will
 l. also be held on the Templehoff. Fifteen
 l thousand veterans will be present with
 bands and banners. On all these occa-
 | sions the emperor will make speeches. | Prince Hohenlohes delayed meeting
 | with Count Coluchowshi the Austrian
 | minister of foreign affairs, will take place
 | at Assue tomorrow. It was stated by the
 | official press that Count Coluchowski and | Prince Hohenlohe had an interview on
 l Friday last, but the Deutsche Tage Zei-
 l tung has an entirely different account of l the affair According to this paper
 l Prince Hohenlohe invited the Austrian | minister to visit him at Ausze but the | count replied that he would prefer to
 | receive the prize in Vienna. Prince IIo-
 l henlohe felt hurt at this and made no re-
 ply, and when Coluchowski, obeying the | orders of the Austrian government,
 l
 him word that he had gone hunting
 | Emperor Francis Joseph's guests at
 | Ischel, near by, include Count Von Eu-
 l lenberg. German ambassador to Aus
 trla; Count Francis Deim, Austrian ann
 | bassador to Great Britain, and M Sim
 itch, the Servian prime minister. It Is
 | understood that a conference has been
 | held in connection with events in Bull
 | gara and Macedonia Baron Banffy, the | Hungarian prime minister. Count Kiel- l ha minister
 | and Count Coluchowski will join the | Austrian emperor's party in a few days. Economic problems latterly are driving l pure politics into the background. The l organizations of handicrafts occupies. l the chief place. The conservative and
 l majority of the oentrists demand the in-
 l troduction ofsoompulsory guilds for the l organiZat tion of the handcraftS, only those | who have passed an examination and
 l proved proficient being allowed to con
 l duct an independent business The radi- 1 calls, socialists and national liberals op-
 | pose this scheme as the champions of in- l dustrial freedom. The government sum- l moned an artisans conference, to which
 l was submitted a draft of measures for
 | the organization of the trades. The gov
 | ernment assented to the suggestion of the i conference that large measures be made 1 to defray the expenses which the guilds l may incur for the benefit of the members | but stated that it could under any condi- !! tions at present fulfill the wishes of the l conference in regard to the proficiency. l A new German political party has been 1 formed at Colmar. entitled the demo- l cratic party of Alsace-Lorraine. It de- l mands complete political equity for | Alsace-Lorraine with other federal states, 1 instruction in French in the national l schools, the right to post notices in l French and to produce plays, also free l education, the separation of church and 1 state and a reduction of military burdens. 
 Positively DenIed.
