Strained Relations BetEeen HOhanlOle and Wilhelm
TIE CHANCELLOR'S TERMS
One is the Adoption of a Mill tary Trial Reform Measure
The Other That There Shall be no Increase Of Taxes for the Fur poses of Strengthening the Gov ernnent Navy.

Berlin, Oct 9.-In spite Of semi official denials the relations between the imperial chancellor, Prince Ho- henlohe, and Emperor William, are very straight. The prince has made his remaining in office for another brief spell contingent upon two things, the presentation to the reichstag of a mil itary trial reform bill and no new taxes for the purposes of larger naval appropriation.
 The bill for the un1fication of the military penal code is still hanging fire in spite Of the chancellor's decla- ration in the reichstag in 1895 that he would stand or fall with that measure, and in spite of the emperor's strong objection to publication in military trials. As to the new taxes for increasing the strength of the feet, the North German Gazette points out that it is significant that the gov ernment and all the conservative newspapers are dwelling upon the ab- solute necessity for such taxes. The Post afffrms that beer would be taxed higher and that the import duty on cereals will be raised fifty marks per ton, which, together would yield the government an extra revenue of at least 5O,O00, ,O0O marks.
 The Volks Zeitung says that the chancellor this week offered to re- sign for the fourth time and that the chancellorship crisis is now in an act i've state

 IRA P. SMITH, E. R. It is doubtful if any death in Phoe- nix ever before cast such widespread gloom over the community. Men as popular, useful and we'll beloved have died and were as sincerely mourned as he will be. But he was so we'll known in all classes, was so widely connected and there was an element of tragedy in his death that made it the more startling.
 One of his most intimate friends speaking of the manner of his taking off yesterday, said. Tt is given to few men to have their wish in the manner of leaving this world. I have heard him say many times that he hoped death would come suddenly without warming or pain.' No more impressive funeral has ever taken place in this territory than his will be- He will be buried in the uniform of his late military office, wrapped in the national colors. The floral offerings will be profuse and varied.
