Berlin Sept. 2-The army maneuvers,
which will begin tomorrow and end Sept
Is. will be of more than usual interest and
importance. The operations VIII be con-
Quoted on the same ground and will be
largely patterned after the Napoleonic
campaign of 1906.
Half the troops engaged, the Fifteenth
Corps, will approach the opposing forces,
the Sixteenth Corps, by forced marches
through the Black Forest passes After
striking the plains the corps will operate
along both sides of the Enz river. The
decisive action viii probably occur in
Wurtemberg, between Stuttgart and Lud-
wigsburg Big reviews at Carlsruhe,
strasburg and elsewhere will precede the
maneuvers. Emperor William strongly
hopes to see some strategic surprises.
The United States military attache at
Berlin, Maj. II. L. Allen, received an n
vitation to attend the Russian maneuvers,
but he viii be unable to go, as he viii at

being also accredited to the government of
Austria-Hungary. Thence he will 90 di-
rect to the German maneuvers.
An act of unusual courtesy is the per-
mission given to Col Samuel S. Sumner
the military attache of the United States
embassy at London, to participate in the
German maneuvers. This is rather con-
trary to strict etiquette, as he is accredited
TO another government, but Emperor
William, remembering the attention shown
by Col Sumner during the Cuban cam
paign to the Count Won Goetzen the for
ner military attache of the German en-
bassy at Washington and other German
officers, who accompanied the United
States army during the late war. quickly
granted the desired permission.
Agrarians Are Pulled Up.
The complete surrender of the govern
ment to the agrarlans has had the ef-
feet of increasing the confidence and ra-
paciousness of the latter The agrarian
mouthpiece, the Deutsche Tages Zeitung,
commenting jubilantly on the fact that
the government in closing the Diet went
so far as to thank the delegates who had
just insolenty rejected the Emperor's pet
measure, says:
1.-THE longed-expected, hoped-for, beg
ged-for sop for the friends of the canal
has not been given. In spite of all in
triguing. lying and crushing. the word
has not been spoken"
How their victory has pulled up the
Prussian agrarians was frequently mani
fected in the newspapers this week. The
Deutsche agrarian correspondent advo-
Gates the extension of the provisions of
the anti-strike bill to agricultural labor
ers, forbiddIng the latter to strike under
any circumstances under penalty of i'm
prlsonment In Jail and corporal punish
nent. Another agrarian paper attributes
the trouble with farm hands to too high
pay, leading to drunkenness and opposi-
ton and advises the restoration of the
whip as a remedy.
Think War Is Certain.
The general opinion expressed here is
that war between Great Britain and the
Transvaal is almost unavoidable. There
Is no doubt that the government, If not
exactly friendly to Great Britain. in this
quarrel has resolved TO abstain from ac-
tive interference. This fact the CORE
epondent here of the Associated Press, has
repeatedly had from an authentic source
The Cologne Gazette's presumably Of
fetal article of Aug. 80, warning the Trans
vaal against placing itself In an unfavor-
able position, and adding that in the event
of war nobody will lift a finger to prevent
the destruction of the republic, has been
with few exceptions, unfavorably com
mented upon by the whole uninspired
press.

has spoiled, and that the outcome will be

The Kreuz Zeitung in sober editorial

of war victory will finally be on the side

May Be Permanently Lame.
The Empress will not be able to at
tend any ceremonies requiring standing
exertion for some time to come. as her
foot has not completely healed. II gives
her much pain and she needs complete
rest for considerable time.

Press learns that the Empress may be
