military trials in Germany promises
to cause the most serious friction be-
tween the emperor and the cabinet
and may possibly bring out a cabinet
crisis later The minister for war,
General Bronsart Won Schellenberg,
publicly declared in the reichstag last
winter that unless he Won the majority
over to his views of the propriety of
publicity in all military trials for
ordinary offenses. he would resign, and
the chancellor, Prince Hehenlohe, has
made similar declaration in public.
Emperor William, however, will not
hear of public trials for such cases,
fearing that they will often furnish
the Socialists facts and arguments
which win 'be unscrupulously used,
and which will be a serious detriment
to military discipline and the general
efficiency of the army. In this view,
the emperor is upheld by Herr Won
koeller, PruSSian minister of the in
terror, and other influential men of his
encourage. Hence friction is certain
to arise, especially as the minister for
war insists upon introducing a bill to
reform military trials at the coming
session of the reichstag. The matter
has been discussed several times at
past fortnight
Another bill, which will be introduced
shortly after the reichstag meets, pro-
vides for an increase of the sugar ex-
port bountieS from one-and-a-quarter
marks to four marks, which is a sop
to the agrarians.
Anti-OIeomargarin
The new oleomargarine bill increases
the stringency of the regulations to
render the import into Germany of all
artificial substances for butter and
lard virtually impossible and the large
increase of the sugar bounty is in
tended to facilitate the export of Ger
man sugar to America and to put the
German exporters in a better position
to compete with the French, Belgian
and Austrian exporters. 1t also means
a new move on the part of the Ger
man government, as the bounties will
stop entirely in 1897 and Germany will
have to pay 4S000,0 900 marks bounties
instead of $4,000 900.
The emperor has ordered the imperial
yacht HohenZoflern to be ready for
his reception in the middle of Febru-
airy, and it is reported in court circles
that he will make a series of visits to
friendly countries early in the year,
visiting Cronstadt and st. Petersburg,
the car, and then going to Copenha-
gen, England, Portugal and Spain.
Served Them Right.
Recently the punishment of officers
for abusing soldiers under their COM
mand has been much more severe, two
non-commissioned officers of the Alex
ander guards infantry having been
sentenced, one to eight and the other
to four weeks imprisonment for cru
ely i'll treating privates.
Herr Won Koeller has instructed the
local authorities to draft into the army
wherever feasible all men up to 80
years of age, who after emigrating be-
fore the age of II, and thus avoiding
try and apply for German naturaliza-
ton. Such cases are numbering into
thousands yearly.
Two granite tablets with inscriptions
have arrived here from German-Ameri-
cans in New York and San Francisco
to be placed on the Bismarck tower at
Gottingen.
DR.. Ahlwardt, the notorious anti-Se-
mite, has announced his intention of
accepting the invitation extended to
him by a number of German-Ameri-
cans to visit America and lecture in
the chief cities of the United States
this winter.
Are Advancing.
DR.. julius Bosse, the minister of ed
ucation, has granted permission to
sixty-seven American women to attend
the winter lectures of the Berlin uni
verSity. AS a result the German Wo-
men, many of whom have been refus-
ed permission to attend these courses
of instruction, have formally complain
ed of this alleged favoritism. There
is no doubt that German women still
have the greatest obstacles thrown in
their way. The professors of the Ger
man universities are especially opposed
to women. One of the renowned pro-
fessors of German literature recently
requested the minister of education to
prohibit the attendance of ladies at
his lectures, and the historian, TTeit-
scke, suddenly suspended his lecture on
seeing a lady in the audience, and led
her out of the hall. Altogether 317
American students are entered at Ber-
lin university for this winter, and
about TAP students are studying there.
A young American student named
Swayne, who recently arrived at
HeideIburg, has committed suicide by
jumping from the third story window
of the hotel where he was stopping
The motive for his self-destruction is
not known.
The Stern Case.
The stay of execution of sentence
granted Louis Stern of New York, in
which to return to Kissengen to under

onment and pay the fine of 500 marks
inflicted upon him for insulting a pub
lie official at that place, has expired
and the court has declared Mr.. Stern's
bail, $4,000 marks, $4,000, to be for
feited Mr. Stern is liable to arrest and
imprisonment if he returns to Ger
many.
