KNAAK'S ABUSE Of WILHELM
Sighting Remarks About the Kaiser
Get One Into Trouble in
Berlin.

Copyright 1898. by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON. Dec. 5.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram)-"If had
the kaiser here would ten him
he Is a schaffskopf," literally sheepshead, but
colloquially synonymous with donkey, is one
OF the offensive remarks for which Paul
knaak, an American citizen, Is confined in
Moabit prison at Berlin on the charge Of
lese majcste, so writes Berlin correspond
ent, the rigorous press censorship rendering
1t impossible to send the full details by
telegraph.
Knaak was in restaurant with q girl
named Loewe. In a loud voice he drew a
contrast between the German and Amer
lean governments, greatly to the advantage
Of the latter. When warned by his neigh
bors that sighting remarks about the kaiser
were dangerous he replied as stated above
and continued: For the old kaiser I had
every respect, but would box the present
kaiser's ears just as would any one else's.
The kaiser lis a lehmann," a term OF Pc
culiar opprobium in Berlin, meaning vulgar
and low. Thereupon the police were called
and Knaak was taken to the station.
Dr. Schwindt, an able and painstaking
lawyer, says Knaak's defense is an abso-
Lutte denial Of all knowledge OF the re-
marks ascribed to him, as he was drunk
His first consciousness Of his position was
when he found himself at the police sta
tion. On the testimony forthcoming his
conviction is tolerably certain, but the plea
Of drunkenness may be held as an extern
uation. He Is liable to punishment Of
from two months to flve years. 1t Is ex-
pected he will get six months and be ban
ished on his release from prison.

ANDREWS HOLDS THE FORT

Appointments and Peace New
ReiEns Supreme.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-The report was cur
rent today that Superintendent Andrews Of
the public school system. who recently came
here from Brown university. had offered
his resignation. but tonight the story was
denied. For some time there has been
trouble between Superintendent Andrews
and the Board of Education over the mat
ter of appointments, each desiring TO pos
sess the power of making them. There
seems to be no doubt that a letter Of res
ignation was actually written by the su-
perintendent, but that 1t was intercepted
by friends before reaching the board ON
cially and the matter amicably adjusted
Both sides have at least signed the pro-
tocol giving the coveted power to Super

the Message OF Pfesident
Mckinley.

Copyright, 1898, by Press Publishing Col
LONDON, Dec. 5.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram. m.)-Comment in
political circles on the presi-
Dental message is distinctly friendly,
especially on the passage de-
claring Americas active interest in the
development of the far eastern question
The only point on which there is a disposi-
tion to reserve judgment Is in relation to
the Nicaraguan canal. feeling here finding
expression that the construction should be
jointly guaranteed by the United States and
Great Britain.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-Much having been ex-
pected, there is tone OF disappointment In
the morning papers on President McKinley'l
message. It's noncommittal character Is at
tributed to the fact that the negotiations OF
the peace, commissioners at Paris are no,
yet finished. Considerable satisfaction ID
expressed at the references to Anglo Amer
lean relations and at the coldness displayed
toward Russia.
The Daily News complains Of the ambigu-
ity OF the message on Commercial and cur
rency matters"
The Times says: 1T Is creditable to
both the dignity and good sense Of the
American people that a message announc-
Ing the victorious ending OF the great war,
the acquisition Of territory and the initia-
tion Of the imperialistic policy is sober in
tone and moderate in Recommendation. Not
since England recognized the United States
governments power has an American pres
ldent spoken Of the mother country In lam
guage 50 cordial as Mr.. Mckinney"
The Daily Chronicle pays tribute to the
sober. sound common sense and straight
forward language Of the message" pointing
out that President McKinley's reference to
the military occupation Of Cuba virtually
outlines policy precisely the same as that
Of Great Britain in Egypt and likely to
have the same effect"
The Standard says: Few could have
foretold that the war would work so rapid
and drastic a change. How absolute the
metamorphosis Is may best be gathered
from comparison with previous messages.
1t is not rash to predict that the United
States will advance in the path upon which
their feet are now firmly SET"
The Standard construes Mr.. McKinleys
references to China as a declaration that.
had the open door been closed or obstructed,
America would have interfered actively.

themselves who can), amid stihed screams
OF "Dieu que t'ai peur' (Lord, but I'm

what Representatives Say.
Following are some Of the opinions ex-
pressed by members of the house upon the

house committee on foreign Affairs, said
THE presidents simple proposition to lei

Of their permanent government"
Representative Walker, chairman Of the
committee on banking and currency: II
am asked what think OF the currency and
banking features. l do not see that 1t has
any such features. l have not been able to
detect any. 1t contains only recommenda-
tions for the currency, repeating that Of a
former message to change the United States
legal tender notes into gold certificates,
which would have no effect on the banking
and currency situation but to add to the
burden of taxation without in any degree
favorably affecting the general banking and
currency situation"
Mr.. Grosvenor Of Ohio: "The message IL
not on a beaten path. 1t Is not encountered
with platitudes and Is written in a very
attractive style. The contribution to his
tory in the elaborate recitation of the events
Of the war is in good taste and devoid ol
boasting or vanity"
General Wheeler, democrat of Alabama:
"It is a clear and comprehensive resume Of
events which transpired during an eventful
period Of our country's history. 1t will be
referred to as one OF the noted state papers.

Its marble pedestal, the spreading folds Of

brilliant and picturesque.
The members began arriving shortly be-

congratulations or condolences. For those
who had gone down at the November elec-
