Prince Hohenlohe is supported by the
Cologne Gazette, which urges that exist
ing means will suffice to keep socialism
under.
The leading liberal newspapers express
themselves similarly. Prince Bismarck,
however in the Hamburger Nachrchten,
recommends new anti-socialism laws. and
says that IF the present cabinet is too
timid to undertake to carry out the i'm
perial will it ought to be replaced by
more courageous men,"
Tie Prussian minister for the interior
is resolved to take one step against So
cialism. lie intends to dismiss from Of
flee any university professor or state
school officer or teacher persistently adj
vocating socialist measures or views. This
wGs decided upon at the cabinet council
held on Wednesday, at which the EN-
peror was present.
Professor Adolph Wagner of the Ber-
lin university. with score. of other pro-
fessors, are thereby threatened.
The gigantic naval proposals of the
secretary of the navy, Vice Admiral Won
Holman, are the sensation of the day.
The verbal explanation was purposely de-
fcient. it is understood, by direct in
struction from the emperor. The indica-
ton is that the reichstag will reject it
ton.
A memorandum submitted to the bud
get committee places the normal expend-
lures for new vessels at 45,500,000
marks, but as the estimates for 1897
have not exceeded the 26,500,O00 marks
of the preceding year, Prince Hohenlohe
has found il necessary to Overstep the
normal sum for the next three years in
order to fill the deficiency in the navy,

Prince Bismarck was suffering from a
slight attack of influenza early in the
week and has been forbidden to leave
his house for another week. Count Her.
bert is also suffering from influenza.
At the last court ball at the Schloss
on Tuesday there were 1900 guests. The
emperor was dressed in the gala uniform
of the body guard hussars and the en-
press wore pink satin with oak leaves
and displayed an enormous quantity of
diamonds.
Princess Linear, nee Parsons. was
robed in helotrOpe satin with crepe, and
Mrs. Edwin II. Uhl, wife of the United
States ambassador, wore gown of white
satin.
There have been a number of sensa-
tional suicides among German soldiers
during the past week. A recruit at Mu-
mich committed suicide owing to the. bru-
tai treatment of sergeant, and at Span
dau an artilleryman blew out his brains

ment he had been subjected to-

OUR BERLIN CABLE LETTER
EMPEROR WILLIAM SEEMS DE-
TERAIINED TO STAMP OUT
SOCIALISM.
NOT COMPLIMENTARY 70 BISMARCK
In a Speech the Emperor Said Bismarck
and Won Moltke Had Been Mere
Tools of His August Grand
father-Naval Proposals.

Berlin, March 6.-(Copyrighted, 1897,
the week the latest ant-socialist speech
of the emperor at the Brandenberg ban
quet has echoed and re-echoed all over
Germany. 1t appears the speech was
much more violent than the official re-
port showed. His majesty said that So
cialism must be uprOoted to the last trace.
He referred to his grandfather's will
lam I's) co-workers, Bismarck and Won
Moltke as ''mere tools of his august will,'
and concluded with remarking:
II shall be glad to know that every
ones hand is in mine-that of the noble
and the serf."
The socialist press has replied TO the
challenge. The Vorwaerts, in a defiant
article, says:
German socialism will know how to
defeat projected attempts, hidden under
the cloud of loyalty and patriotism, to
undermine the sacred rights of the peo-
pie. Down with the revolution from
above"
The Vorwaerts adds that the centenary
celebrations are intended to be made the
occasion for fresh persecution of social
ism, ''the liberty OF the press and the
election franchise"
In another instance the VOrwaerts fur
nshes historical proof in William rs
own letters that William | was tool of
Bismarck and Won Moltke, instead of
they being his, and says he was the push
ed on and not the Dusher.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press learns on the best of authority that
the emperor is fully determined to act
on his words and uproot socialism. I'm
fortunately, government circles are d.
vided as TO how the aim can be accom-
plshed. The imperial chancellor. Prince
Hohenlohe, is backed up by. DIR. Won
Boetticher the minister of the interior,
and Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein,
the minister for foreign affairs, against
attempting anti-socialist legislation in the
reichstag or to repress the present liberty
of the press or the franchise. On the
other hand, the Prussian minister of the
interior, Freiherr Won der Berbeck. Won
Horst and DIR. MIGUEL. minister OF
finance, support the emperor in his con-
viction to neutralize the socialist agita-
ton. -gr a ..--

RECEIVED IN LONDON.

London, March S.-The reply of Greece
to the identical notes of the powers, de-
livered ut Athens on Tuesday last and
insisting upon the withdrawal Of The
Greek troops from Crete and of the Greek
fleet from Cretan waters, was received
here ut noon. Ii conforms to the fore
cast cabled exclusively to the Associated
Press. A cabinet council was immediate
ly held. after which the Marquis of Sails
bury went to Windsor in order to consult
the queen.
There was scene of great animation
ut the foreign office. Nearly every am
bassador called during the day.
The reply to the identical notes of the
powers is regarded IN official circles here
rs being of Il most favorable nature, and
it is believed that the crisis will now soon
be ended rs the Greek note, at least fur
nishes a basis upon which a compromise
satisfactory to all concerned can be speed
lily reached.
The stock exchange here and the
bourses of the continent reflect the conf
dent feeling and continue buoyant.

LONDON PRESS COMMENTS.

London, March 9.-The Times this
morning in an editorial commenting OF
the reply of Greece to the identical notes
of the powers, says that she advances
good reasons why they should not carry
out their threats of coercion.
The Daily News thinks that the reply
will be the base of further negotiations
1t is said that Admiral Carnarvo ltal
ian commander, in command of the allied
fleets. proposed as first step that all
powers should recall their ministers from
Athens.
Probably it will be decided to enforce
a peaceful blockade. applying only to
vessels under the Greek flag. These
would not be confscated, but detained
only until the blockade is raised.
Much is hoped in the way of a settle,
ment of the difficulty from the result OF
Lord Salisbury's visit to the queen.

CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLING.

CHARGED With EN- BEIILlNG.
Newport, X. l., March 7.-PaymasteI
John COrwine, who is charged with the
embezzlement of funds of the navy de-
after cashing $4,000 check at the First
National bank of Newport, arrived in
this city today from Chicago in charge of
police officers. Corwine was immediate
ly taken before Judge Baker and pleaded
not guilty to the charge of enlightenment
of $1,000 from the bank, and was held in
$4,000 bail for examination on Friday.
Bail was furnished and Corwine is now
at home with his wife.
At the close of the arrangement today
Lieut.. Clark. acting in behalf of Com
modore MCGOWAN, attempted to take
COrwine to the naval station to answer
charges of embezzlement from the United
States government. Corwines counsel
objected on the ground that he might be
held until after Friday, thereby forfeit
ing his bail in the state court. COmmo-
dOre MCGOWAN was then consulted and
agreed not to press the claim until the
state case had been settled. 1t appears
likely that such settlement will actually
take place. Corwine has already, through
his wife, returned to the First National
bank 1920 of the $1,000 which he is
charged with taking unlawfully, and it is
charge, proceeding which is permitted
under the laws of this state. While on
his way back from Chicago Corwine re-
lated to Detective Richards the circum-
stances which led up to his last act. He
said that three years ago, while on board
the Nopsic. his clerk absconded with
nearly $4,000. Corwines father-in-law,
who was on his bond. made good the
amount, as the clerk was a relative of
the family. Ever since then Corwine
has been endeavoring to pay back the
ment funds. When he heard that the
pay inspector had arrived he knew the
shortage would be found, and rather than
face the charge he left the station after
cashing the check and started for Cripple
Creek ~ III

GREECE'S REPLY TO POWERS.

1t Is Conciliatory in Tone but Sticks Up
for Cretan Rights.
/ Athens. March S.-'rhe reply of Greece
TO the powers is concliatory in tone, fully
recognizing the important object the pow
ers have in view and offering to with
draw her fleet from Cretan waters.
Greece, however, Joints to the fact that
it is impossible for her to withdraw her
troops from that island in view of the
danger of further massacres. On the
other hand. Greece offers to place her
troops in Crete under the control of the
powers in order that they may be availa-
bic for the restoration of order.
Referring to the statements made tC
the effect that the Cretans prefer autonO-
my to annexation to Greece, the govern
ment of Greece suggests that the Cretan>
be allowed to choose their own govern
ment.
Greece. the reply adds, is convinced
that autonomy will not pacify Crete, and
another chapter in the horrors of Mussul-
man fanaticism will be added to the
periods of anarchy which have already
decimated the island.
Continuing, the reply says it is impossi-
BILE. in view of the past. to advise the
Cretans to lay down their arms, holding
that this advice would not be obeyed even
if rendered.
The Greek reply also says that since
the foreign representatives preserve or
der in Cretan waters and prevent the
landing of Turkish troops, the presence
of the Greek ships is unnecessary. but
it is explained the Greek army can not
leave the Christians to the risk of Mus
sulman fanaticism and the Turkish
troops.
The Greek government holds that or
der in Crete could be Immediately restor-
ed if the powers would have confidence
ioin in the work of 6aoifying the island
1t is understood that foreign admirals
have recommended the occupation of the
Cretan ports by one battalion of infantry
from each of the powers.
