LESE MAJESTE IN GERMANY

from the London Times.
 The mischief of the continual prosecu- tons for lese maGeste, and of the whole system of espionage and talebearing con- nected with them, often recalling the ab- surdest stories of the historians of impe- rial Rome, is we'll illustrated by case which occurred here a few days ago. A respectable elderly tradesman met two musicians in restaurant, and, being al- ready in a somewhat hilarious frame of mind, offered to treat them to refresh ments. At the same time he began to tell them various stories. Among these he re- lated the well known anecdote about Alex ander the Great and Diogenes, adding to it some general remarks. One of the mu- sicians asked if his criticisms applied even to his majesty, the German emperor, and, on receiving an affirmative reply, at once went off and denounced his host to the police. At the trial abundant evidence was brought to show that the old gentleman was most patriotic, law-abidng citizen, and one who never failed to attend pa triotic dinners. Nevertheless, sentence of two months imprisonment was passed. 1t Is significant that the press hardly passes any comments on the conduct of the man who laid the information against one whose hospitality he was enjoying.
 In another recent case the informer was less successful. workman had bought himself a plaster bust of the emperor, as Is the duty of every good citizen. Unfor-

A student who overheard him at one felt impelled to call in the police to arrest the delinquent. The police off, cer, however took the very sensible and natural view that the laborer was railing at the fact that the bust of the emperor had been broken and not at the emperor while pubic-spirited bystander subse- quently administered corporal punishment to the over-zealous champion of monarch ial sacro-sanctity.

MISS FAVRE'S CLAIM FOR $1O,OOO DENIED Secretary of State Decides Gov-
 ernment is Not Liable. ATTORNEY GENERAL GRIGGS Concurs in the Opinion The Lady Was Passenger on French Steamer
 oIinde Rodriguez, Captured
 by Cruiser New Orleans
ATTORNEY GENERAL GRIGGS

Washingt ton, July 1.-The secretary of state has sent the ambassador of France an answer to the latter's recent letter sub s1O,000 damages attending the capture of the French steamer Olinde Rodriguez, on which she was a passenger, by the cruiser New Orleans during the blockade of San Juan. The secretary reviews the facts in much detail and states the conclusion that the government is not liable on this claim. The answer is likely to establish a prece- dent on a large number of similar claims.
 The secretary says the French steamer was first observed by the cruiser Yosemite on July and that an officer of the Yosem- ite went on board and noted in the log of the Rodriguez that a blockade of San Juan was in progress Miss F'avre subsequently, took passage at Port au Prince on July 13. On the 17th of July the Rodriguez again put in an appearance off San Juan where upon she was captured by the New Orleans.
 The prize was taken to Charleston on July 22, and on August all the passengers were released by court order and turned over to the French company. Miss Favre,s claim recited that she had suffered from an attack of fever while at Charleston and that the damages were for this and the indigni- ties of detention.
 From facts cited the secretary states that the United States naval authorities could not be charged with any negligence in the circumstances attending the capture. Sec retary Hays letter is accompanied by one from Attorney General Griggs in his deci- sion upon the case, bearing out in detail the points made in the secretary's letter.

 Heavy Weight Jeffrods

San Francisco, Cal, July IA telegram has been received in this city from Billy Delaney, Jim Jeffries trainer, which seems to indicate that the champion backed out of his proposed four round go with Jef- frods, the husky heavyweight from An gels Camp. Jeffries proposed to knock his man out in four rounds or forfeit $500. The National club made a match for next week and Jefrods arrived here today to sign articles.
