AGRARIANS OF GERMANY
MISCARRIAGE OF GOVERNMENTS
ATTEMPT TO COMPROMISE.
Emperor DispIeased over Treatment
of His BrOther-in-Layv, whose
Wife's DoinGs Are a Scandal.


BERLIN, July 1.-THE government, the
agrarians and the producers are all placed
in very embarrassing predcament
through a miscarriage of the governments
attempts TO effect a compromise with the
striking produce exchanges in the leading
German cities, so as to enable the agra
rians to have representatives in the boards
of directors and yet have traders in futures
attend the exchanges regularly as hereto
fore. The farmers no longer know what
prices to ask or expect for grains, no
market quotations being published. This
condition of things is seriously felt in con-
nection with new crops, especially in the
rural districts where small farmers are
powerless and in the hands of INSCRIPTIONS
spectators. Cereals have declined in price
since May, instead of rising or 10 marks
per ton as Count Won Kanitz. the father of
the obnoxious new bourse law, proclaimed
in the Reichstag would be the case; where
as, in Paris and Buda-Pesth cereals have
increased in price.
Eight out of the forty-eight Socialists in
the Rechstag, including Herr Liebknecht,
Herr Luetgomau and Herr Stadthagen, are
serving terms of Imprisonment for the of
Tense of lese-majesty For a similar Of
Tense a number of Russo-Polish students of
the Technical High School at Charlotten-
burg were arrested yesterday and taken to
the Russian frontier where they were
handed over to the Russian police. Among
them was the noted Nihilist Wilscherwin,
who will be Immediately sent to Siberia.
There have been several other arrests on
suspicion. AS a result of the close es-
pionage of the artillery barracks at Ulm,
the son of prominent citizen named Wag-
in custody. Upon the latter were found
special maps and charts with plans of
Notifications and number of letters writ
ten in cipher. *l%
The Empress and her children are keenly
enjoying their stay at Tegerussee. Her
Majesty has abandoned her projected visit
to Emperor William at Kiel, owing to the
more favorable reports as to the condition
of the Emperors eye.
Emperor William is greatly displeased
with the decisions of the court of arbitra-
ton which deprives his brother-in-law,
Prince Adolf of -Lippe, of the
right of succession to the regency in Lippe
Detmod The regency is worth 100000
marks a year. Prince Adolf, who is COM
paratvey poor, has gone back to Bonn to
resume his military duties.
The EmperorS telegram to the prince
after the decision by the King of SaXony
in favor of Count Lippe Biestenfeld has
caused a great sensation among the Ger
man partcularists 1t contains the follow
ing sentence: "Detmold could never have
a better and worthier master and mistress
than you" Special offense has been given
by this reference to the princess, whose
eScapades form a familiar topic of court
circle gossip. But the tenure OF the whole
telegram and the fact that the Emperor adj
dressed his brother-in-law with the ia
miliarity of private correspondence shows
that he did not intend his dispatch for pub
lication.
Dr. Reimbold, of Wiesbaden, the newly
appointed professor of social science at the
University of Berlin, took occasion at a
farewell banquet rendered him to make a
sensational speech ridiculing the govern
ments fear of socialism. He said that the
method of governing now in vogue irf Prus-
STA was a danger for Prussia and for the
whole of Germany, ana predicted that the
German people in the coming elections
would show plainly that they intended to be
ruled no longer as at present; he con-
cluded "Monarchism is powerless to ac-
complish radical reformatory measures.
Only free people, though one with q
strong government, can accomplish radical
reforms.
ambassador White has been spending the
week at Heringsdorf, where he intends to
pass most of the summer, only coming to

ner performances

Baron Won Muench, a member of the
