DR.. Arthur Kortegan, head master of
the celebrated school at Frankfort, died
suddenly at Interlaken last Monday. He
was 50 years of age, and until within
few years was head master of the we'll
known school at Bonn, where many prom
inent Americans and Englfshmen have
been educated. He was a leading author
ity on educational matters throughout
Germany.
The empress has varied the monotony
of her stay at Tegernsee by a visit to
Munich. She was accompanied by the
five princes, visited all the sights and
lunched with the prince regent, who pro-
posed her majestys health. Prince oscar
celebrated his ninth birthday Tuesday at
Tegernsee, from which place the empress
and her children will return to Berlin.
The rumors rife in London concerning
the possible retirement of Secretary Sher-
man are echoed here, even in official Ger
man and American circles, but with this
difference, that Mr.. Sherman is to be sue
ceeded, not by Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, but by
Ambassador White Gossip even goes so
far as to attribute Mr.. Whites hesitation
to leave the KaiserhOf hotel for perma-
nent quarters to the possibility of his hav
ing soon to return to Washington.
The comments of the German press
upon the Dingley tariff are extremely
acrid, but great satisfaction is expressed
at the fact that large quantities of Ger
man goods were sent to the United States
in anticipation of the event While wish
ing to revenge themselves upon the Amer
leans the most ChauVenistic journals are
not blind to the fact that reprsals on the
part of Germany would surely prove a
boomerang
Gen. Count Won Blumenthal, the only
surviving commander of the army OF 1870
II, completed to-day a term of seventy

Owing to the financial failure of the Ber-
lin exposition of 1895, the committee re-
Gently announced tnaI tnS 0J per cent
guarantee fund would have to be sacri-
feed. This resulted in a large meeting of
signers Of the guarantee on Monday The
meeting declared unanimously that il did
not recognize the right of the committee
TO adopt such a measure and a desperate
effort will be made to place the RESPONSE
bilities upon the shoulders Of the COM
mittee.
The supposed Internal machine, which
exploded in a mail bag during the transfer
Of mails at the Potsdam railway station
early in the week, turned out to be only
a package Of large torpedoes Of the kind
used by cyclists to frighten dogs.
The whole liberal press is in arms
against the act of a sentry who killed an
escaping soldier under peculiarly atrocious
circumstances. TIE man, Seremba, had
overstepped the boundaries of the forti-
fications at Dantzig and was being taken
to the guard house, when he broke away
and ran. The sentry fired and the bullet
passed through Seremba's head and two
walls Of an iron kiosk, burying itself in a
brick wall. This certainly proves the ef-
ficacy of. the German guns, but the incl
dents adds fuel to the flames Of popular
resent tment against military severity.
United States Consul General Charles
DeKay will return to New York in Sep
