HEAVY DAMAGE TO TOBACCO.
The Loss From Frost Much Greater

Than First Reported.
Louisville, KY, Sept 20 The extento OF

HE LATER KILLED HIMSELF
The Piece of Personal Gossip That
is Interesting the Court Circles
Of Europe Is Emperor Williams
DInck Eve and the Tragedy Which
Followed 1t

Lcndcn, Sept. 25. 1t is piece Of per
sonal gossip, more than the serious af
fairs Of state, which is being most dis
cussed just Low in circles usually inter
ested ia international politics. Ever since
the German enlperorreceiVedh his m ysterious
black eye during his summer yachting
cruise a variety Of stories have been afloat
about the circumstances of the so-called
accident. Ii has beer known III well
Informed oiIcles. ever since the week fol-
lowing that the death of Lieut.. Y on
Hahnke shortly after the incident was u
direct sequel TO the affair. He unques-
tionably committed suicide despite the
semi-ofsicial assertion that he was killed
by accident.
The first version circulated was that
he was technically responsible for the
mtshsp which made it possible for dis
loyal blCcR "a swing from aloft and floor
his imperial master; that the enlperor had
denounced him Eefore the crew in un-
measured languag ge, and that the young
officer had taken his disgrace to much to
heart, that h. rode off on his bicycle next
day and killed himself.
But another and more serious version
OF the affair is now accepted as the truth
by persons in Berlin and elsewhere whose
sources Of information are the very best.
One OF the Kaiser's peculiauties is a GER
tain contempt for women, which he often
makes no attempt TO conceal, and even
seems 20 be rather proud of. His dis
paragement OF women as an inferior race
has been the cause OF more than one
unpleasant incident. The Emperor was

10 an unusually supercilhous mood on the
day or this Incident. He was talking
with group Of officers on the deck of
the yacht Among them was Won Hahnke,
who was son of Gen. Won Hahnke, one
OF the most prominent officers in the
German army.
The Emperor, without the slightest re-
gard Tor the young mans feelings, pos
sibly forgetting his presence, made a
brutal remark about his mother, the wife
OF the general. The young man was ter.
ribly incensed, and without moments
hesitation confronted his sovereign and

except that there was no attempt to punish
the young officer.
1t was speedily realized that it would
be impossible to deal with him by the
ordinary legal or military methods without
the result that Europe would ring with
the scandal, in which her synpathies wouId

ruined, and he soon learned that his father
and his family would also be involved I'm
the imperial vengeance. 1t is not surpris-
ing, then, under the circumstances, that
he decided to take his own life, as he
undoubtedly did.
This sensa tional story will, of course, be
deniedif attempts are made to osubstantiate
ii. In the highest quarters it is accepted,
however, with full credence by those who
have the means Of knowing the facts, and
considering the many minor points of CON
firmat ton which are current there is strong
probability that it is substantially true.

MONEY TO MOVE CROPS
The Withdrawal, Mr.. Coffin Says,
Affects Banks.
VALUE OF THE COTTON YIELD
Must Be Moved Within IA Short

Required for This Purpose Which
Cnuses Rates Of Interest to Raise
Cash Furnished by New York

Deputy Comptroller Coffin furnishes an
interesting statement III connection with
recent advances IN money rates in New
York: Some of the recent sharp advances
ia rates Of interest on demand loans in
New Yorl," said Mr.. Coffin, are no doubt
due to speculative manipulation of the stock
markes, bat l think the impulse TO this
upward turn has been given by the heavy
withdra wal from New York OF funds for
the legitimate purpose Of moving the cot
ton crop now comiug to market. Asa resi-
dent OF South Carolina, familiar with the
movement Of this crop, l have for years
Observed its effect upon national bank

advance about this time, and ia SOME
years have approached the danger line.
and while the movement of the wheat and
other great crops has contributed to this
effect still | tHnk the movement of the
cotton crop has been the main factor for
this reason.
The average value Of the cotton yie!d
is about S300, 000 900, and it is practic-
ally marketed between October 1 and
March / Gr within period OF five months,
but it is peculiar III this respect that only
about one-ninth Ct the entire crop, when
TINS is S,G00,00O bales, remains in the
section where it IS grown. Ofthe remain.

special meeting of the veStry of st
Paul's Episcopal Church, Rock Creek, was
held yesterday afternoon in the vestry
room of the chapel Those present were
Mr.. John Miller, who, III the absence of
Warden Brown, was called to the chair,
Mr.. A D. Vanervcer, VINO asGed as register,
and Messrs. ]. A. Wineburger, Redford W.
Walker, Thomas L. Wiltberger, Bernard
F. Joy and August Lamond.
1t was generally supposed that the meet
ing was called to consider the selection
of a successor to the Rev. Or. james Buck,
who recently died Exactly why this i'm
preston found credence is not known, for
none of the gentlemen who were present,
at tie meeting knew anything of it. As
maj tier of fact IL was stated that in tie
absence CT Mr.. Brown, the reason for call
Ing the meeting was not known.
So far as the selection of a successor
to tie late nr. Buck, the former pastor of
st. Pauis, is concerned, it is not prob
able that the vestry will supply his place
for some time. The pastorate OF the as
sistant rector, the Rev. DR.. Barr, win not
expire until next year and it was stated
by prominent member of the vestry
that in all probability the board would not
take any action in the matter until that
time.
Mr., Brown. the senior warden, who was
in New York for the last few days, ex-
pected to return in time to attend the
meeting yesterday, but was unable to do
so. 1t is very probable that another
meeting will be called at an early date
to consider matters relative to st. Pauls
parish.
