MAD BILL GOT ANGRY

UP MORE TROUBLE
HIS ROW WITH BAVARIA
Will Not Push the Philippine Claims.
Agrarians Make a Violent At
tack on American Products


BERLIN, July 3O.-(Copyright. 1898, by
the Associated Press.) While the quarrel
between Emperor Bill and the regent of
Lippe-Detmold is only storm in teacup
| over miserable question of court etiquette,
1t has occupied the press to the exclusion
of almost everything else. A high official
OF the ministry of the interior has briefly
outlined the facts in the case to the CORE
spondent OF the Associated Press. They are
as follows
The regent was already offended on ac-
count of various alleged sights for which
he blamed the emperor, and when the gen.
| eral commanding the troops in he princi-
palty ordered his soldiers henceforth not
70 make the salute prescribed in the case
Of ruling soveregns, or to show the GUS
tomary marks of respect to the regents
family, the regent thereupon, deemlng his
rights under the military convention Of
1873, to have been sighted, appealed TO the
emperor in personal letter for redress.
This letter contained several passages
which were construed by his majesty to be
purposely offensive, so he sent the regent
telegram, which traversed dozen hands
and thence reached the newspapers sub
stantlally verbatim. Then followed the
deeply offended regents appeal to the SOW
eregns of Germany and to the bundesrath
The matter is expected to remain in statu
quo for some time. The correspondent of
the Associated Press learns from another
source that Emperor Williams anger was
particularly aroused by certain references
in the regents letter to the empress and
her family, a parallel being drawn on the
question of rank in both cases, and his
majesty's ire was increased by the fact that
the legislature of Lippe-Detmold at the
regents behest and without waiting the
direction of the bundesrath, passed law
in March prejudcing the chances of the
succession of Prince Adolph of Schaum-
berg-Lippe, Emperor williams brother-n-
law. The majority of the newspapers up
hold the regent. A Bavarian editor, Herr
Momminger, who first published the story,
publicly declares that he only refrains for
patriotic reasons from publishing further
details of the goings-on at Berlin"
AS a reason for the delay in pressing the
German merchants claims for damages
which are alleged to have arisen through
the war in the Philippines, it is explained
that the German government considers that
10 push the claims now, while the Amer
leans are more or less incensed against
Germany" would prejudice a favorable
settlement of the claims.
1t is also certain that at the next session
of the diet and reichstag the Agrariars
will vigorously assail American agricul-
tural products. The Agrarians are now
collecting a mass of evidence tending to
show the injury which has been caused to
the home market by the continued importa-
ton Of American products. Among their
arguments, they sllege that 90 per cent of
the trichinosis in Germany is due to Amer

MANY OPINIONS
WHAT WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
SAY ABOUT PEACE
Cabinet Officers Cannot Agree-Sen
ators and Congressman Discuss
the Situation

NEW YORK, July 30.-A special to the
Times from Washington says: 1t has been
said there were nine opinions touching the
| Philippines in the Cabinet-one for the
President, and one for each of his official
| family. When it came to the turn of the
members of the Cabinet to help the Presl-
dent out of the Philippine difficulty, Sec
| rotary Day was in favor of retaining only
! a coaling station, Secretary Gage was op-
posed to holding anything whatever Sec
rotary Wilson would hold everything and
defy the allied powers to object. Secretary
Smith preferred to hold Luzon and assert
a protectorate over the other islands to Sc
cure fair government to them from SPAIN
Secretary Bliss thought that coaling sta
ton and a zone of corporations at Subig or
some other port would answer, and there
were other notifications of these views, all
given to the President for what they were
worth.
One suggestion made to q member of the
Cabine; today, and perhaps by him men,
toned in the meeting this afternoon, was
that the Philippine question could be post
poned by stipulation in the agreement for
peace; that until the question of indemnity
is decided the United States will retain is
control of the islands. This might be ex-
acted as an assurance of good faith by
Spain in its promises to pay soon and to
provide good government for the Philip
pines later. II Is said that there was no

IINWOOD, Kas., July 30.-On the ques-

States and Spain, Senator w. A. Harris
says:
"The favorite game of the Spaniard is
diplomatic qubbling. We can tolerate no
temporizing policy. We must have free
Cuba recognized with no load of debt or
obligations for Spanish bonds; Porto Rico
for our own, and an absolutely free hand
in the Philippines. We would be generous as
prompt acceptance of these Is conceded.
Would not have the Philippines as Ameri-
can territory on any terms if it can be
avoided. Would afford them an apportun-
ity to govern themselves or might consider
some guaranteed form of autonomy urde,

with adequate naval station for ourselves:

been joined a certain number still re-

grounds.
'Sherman's umbrella" is the designa-
ton given to a mechanical device in
tended to rival the Ferris wheel, and
Mr. Pangelo has promised to notify the
inventor by cablegram as soon as the
concession is secured.
The name of the device inverted by
Mr.. Sherman was suggested by the re-
semblance which his model bore to the
frame of an umbrella. The actual
planning of the thing was intrusted to
practical mechanical engineer. H.
r. Hinchliff, who planned the Manu-
facturers' building at the Columbian
exposition.
The idea Of 1t IS to carry passengers
to great height overlooking the expo
sition grounds. The plans call for a
steel structure $50 feet high and $50
feet In diameter from car to car when
the cars are at. the top. Ten cars are
planned, each capable of accommodate
ing fifty passengers. Mr.. Sherman says
that the cars can make three trips
every hour, which will admit of their
carrying more passengers in that time
than the Ferris wheel did, because all
the cars can be loaded at one trip.
The cars are to be supported at the
ends of ten long steel cables, which are
to run over the ends of the arms or
slaves of the umbrella" The power
is to be applied from the platform
around the central column. The plat
form is intended to move up and down
the column and to carry $50 passen-
gers. The rover by which it is ex-
pected to move the platform and to
lower and raise the cars is hydraulic
pressure. Another motion is also pro-
vided for in the plans That is a ro-
tary motion of the platform, carrying
