Roumanian courts, to the King or Rouma-

The enthusiastic reception given to the
| emperor in Italy is largely due TO his own
tact. Previous to his arriving in Genoa, his
| majesty ordered the band of marines on
| board the Hohenzollern, which was wait
| ing him at Genoa, to give a concert for
| the benefit of the Italian soldiers who
| were wounded at the battle of AdoWa in
/ Abyssinia, the entertainment realizing a
| large sum. The kaiser also directed Prince
| Henry of Prussia to visit the wounded,
| who were being treated in the hospital
in Naples, the day before he himself, ar

the emperor's popularity has reached

The story associated with the duel
| fought last Thursday between Lieut.. Won
| Ketteltshodt, an officer attached to the
| imperial yacht Hohenzollern and Herr
| Zenker, prominent Berlin lawyer ana
| anu-Semite leader, in which the latter
| was killed, is of absorbing interest IN
| social circles, where the affair is being
| discussed in detail. Lieut.. Won Kettelt-
shodt obtained permission to remain in
| Germany when the Hohenzollern started
| for Genoa, and it was known among his
| friends that his remaining behind was for
| the purpose of fighting the duel. Herr
| Zenker was a lawyer OF large practice
| and very wealthy. He married a charm
| ing woman, by whom he had two chii-
| dren. In the summer of 1884 Frau Zen
| ker met Lieut.. Won Ketteltshodt at La
| Doe, a seaside resort near keil, and their
| ensuing unconcealed friendship aroused
| Herr Zenker's jealousy to so great an
extent that his wife left him in August
last, went to Detwold taking her two
children with her. Herr Zenker then
set to work to find proofs of her undue
intimacy with Won Ketteltshodt and il
is believed obtained enough evidence TO
justify him in challenging Lieut. Won Ket-
teltshodt. AS Herr Zenker was a lieuten-
ant in the landwehr he was entitled to
demand a duel. The challenge was ac-
cepted by Lieut.. Won ketteltshodt, who,
according to his right, chose the weapons
and the terms of their use The chai-
| lenged officer named pistols, both princi-
pals to fire until one should be disabled.
Several naval officers accompanied
| Lieut.. Won Ketteltshodt from Kiel to Pots
dam, near which place the duel was
| fought Herr Zenker wore the uniform of
! a lieutenant in the landwehr, and his
| brother, a physician, watched the fight
| Shots were exchanged four times, Lieut.
| Won Kettletshodts fourth shot piercing
| Herr Zenker's heart Lieut. Won Kettelt-
| shOdt Immediately surrendered himself to
| a usperior officer, and will stand trial The
episode has greatly touched public feel
| ing, there being even in army and navy
circles a feeling of sorrow at Herr Zen
| ker,s fate, and the affair will undoubtedly
| lead to a widespread agitation against
| dueling too strong for the devotees Of the
code to withstand.

liam Liebknecht, the socialist leader, was
| celebrated to-day, with unusual ceremony,
the celebration being participated in by all
| of the socialist deputies in the Reichstag
the socialist members of the Berlin munic-
| ipality and the officials of the socialist
party A grand banquet was held, at
| which $50 covers were laid, and the chair
| in which Herr Leibknecht sat was gar
| landed with roses. The socialist group in
| the Reichstag presented their venerable
| leader with a bronze tablet inscribed: :
| ''To their senior, William Liebknecht, on
/ his SEVENTEEN birthday, from the social
| democrats in the German Reichstag.'
| Herr Singer toasted Herr Liebknecht as
"a soldier in the struggle for the liberia
| tion of humanity" and compared their
| dignfied celebration of his natal day with
| the war jubilee and the drunkenness of
! the German bourgeoise.
The Vorwaerts, the leading socfalis,
| newspaper, urges the socialists and the
| working people generally to celebrate May
| day prudently and calmly and only to
cease work on that day where it is possl-
| BILE to do so without danger of collision
