beyond her dominion in the struggle for

take place upon the Pacific.

 Reicbstdg. Kaiser William Threatens to Adopt Drastic Measures to Re-
 press Socialism.

BERLIN, June 25.-For the United States the most interesting result of the elections just held inGermany is the wholesale defeat of agrarianism. The only single agrarian candidate elected Is, while the successful Conservatives, National Liberals and Centrists pledged to agrarianism only totaled 66 So including yesterdays and to- days successes, the agrarian strength in the new Reichstag will certainly not exceed 100.
 Emperor William was very indignant at the early Socialist gains and ex- pressed himself strongly. He remarked:
 Tt is time to stop persuasion and try more drastic measures, or these fel- lows will destroy all"
 But the later returns will probably mollify the powers that be. Neverthe- less, the Government, and particularly the Emperor, is not disposed to offer any compromise to socialism. There is already talk of oppressive legislation but the officials are deaf to all sug- gestions for removing the causes of socialism by means of social reforms.
 Among the curious facts developed by the recent election is the discovery by a department chief of the Ministry of the Interior that most of the sub ordinates voted for the socialistic can didates, the ringleader being favor ite copyist Seven of these employees were immediately discharged when this fact became known.
 The highest personages in the land participated in the electioneering. At Leipsic a high Government official stood at the polls and buttonholed voters, urging them not to support the Socialist candidate, Herr Scmidt.
 Herr August Hintze, the socialist leader of this city, who denounced the election letter of Count von Posadow- ski Wehner, the Minister of the h. terior and representative of the Chan cellor, was arrested on election day on the charge of slandering a Government officer Another socialist leader, who dubbed the Counts letter as mean" was sentenced to fortnight's impris- onment in jail.
 It is whispered that Emperor William is the real author of Count von Posa- dowski- Wehner's manifesto.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Hamilton Fish Jr. was a member of one of the oldest and most distinguished families in New York. Members of the family have held high positions in the State and nation, and they have always been prominent in the society of this city. His grandfather, the late Hamilton Fish. after whom he was named, was Secretary of State in President Grants Cabinet and was a force in local and national ~o1itics of the time. His un- cle, Hamilton Fish, was formerly sneaker of the Assembly. a-S her uncle. Stuyvesant Fish, is president of the Illinois Central Railroad. Nicholas Fish, the young mans father, is prominent banker. He has rendered service to his country in a different way. He was second secretary of the legation under Bancroft in Berlin from 1871 to 1874; first secretary from 1874 to 1877; minister to Switzerland Tor four years and minister to Brussels for four years. Young Fish was 26 years old. feet inches tall. powerfully built. an athlete every inch of him. He rowed at No. on the winning Colum- bia crew of 1895 and was clever boxer. After leaving college he roughed 1t in Utah at railnoading and came back to New York in 1896. He was tangled up with all the night life of the city, fight ing with coachmen and policemen and running into extravaganza which often brought his name before the public. He joined Roosevelt's regiment while 1t was being organized and at San Anto-
 T ofcy sion. In this city he was member of the Union League Club and belonged to the Delta Psi college fraternity
 Fish had a presentiment of his death in battle before he left San Antonio for the front While chatting with a party of friends at the San Antonio Club a few days before he departed he expressed the belief that he would be killed in his first fight.

peror William are much commented upon. The Tageblatt says:
 "The address to the garrison at Pots dam will re-echo throughout the army, but the general public will be sur prised at the tone of bitterness toward themselves prevailing the speech. His complaint at being misunderstood and suspected is something new.
 The Frankfort Zeitung is very angry at the Emperor's remark that the theater. like the schools and universl- ties, should be a weapon Of the mon arch" It says:
 "The Emperor may be permitted to be the master of theaters enjoying royal subsidies, but we protest against the analogy being drawn with educa- tional institutions. which we think are being reduced to poWerlesS inStru- ments of one-sided political views"
 The fact that Germany deems it nee essary to keep such a large fleet at Manila continues to occasion surprise, and the press frequently comments on the subject. The Deutsche Zeitung, referring to the renewed declaration of the Foreign Office that the sole purpose of the fleet is to protect the interests of German residents, says:
 '"This contains, of course, to us, a promise or obligations in case Spain relinquishes her hold on the islands and new grouping or interests becomes necessary"
 On the other hand, the Post of this city, which is often inspired by the For eign Office, warns the 'jingoes" to beware of alarming and threatening a friendly nation needlessly."
 The Tageblatt says it finds no diff culty in discovering how closely the fleets movements are connected with Germany's steps to acquire a coaling station in the Philippine Islands
