ATTITUDE OF GERMANY
Baron Won Bulow Explains Rela-
tiOnS With America.
DEMAND FOR TARIFF WAR
BASIS UPON WHICH GERMANY
ASKS CONCESSIONS.
Is Willing to Grant Corresponding
Favors to the United States
Friendly Relations Over the Phil
ippine Question = Germans Are
Safe Under American Protection.

Berlin, Feb. lin the reichstag to-
leader, interpellated the government on
the question of the commercial rela-
tons between the United States and
Germany. The minister of foreign af-
fairs, Baron Won Bulow, intimated
his readiness to reply forthwith
In introducing the Interpolation
Count Won kanitz referred to the pro-
hibitive effects of the Dingley bill and
contrasted the decrease of German eX-
ports with the increase in American eX-
ports. He said that to denounce the
treaties containing the favored nation
clause was now scarcely necessary, as
the Americans no longer fully observed
their treaty. The Americans, he added,
must be made to understand that the
Germans had no need whatever to OBJ
tain their whole list of necessaries
from them alone. If one country closed
its markets TO another, good CONNER
cial relations could not permanently
continue. In this connection it was in
the interest of German agriculture to
uphold the purchasing power of the
country against American measures.
A tariff war was certainly undesir-
able, but in the event of such g. strug-
gle, owing to the greater volume of
her imports, America had much more
to lose than Germany. The count con-
cluded with expressing the hope that
the federal government would act both
cautiously and energetically. His re-
marks were applauded by the Right
lists.
Baron Won Bulow replied that it
was impossible, in view of the pend
ing negotiations, to make an exhaus-
tive explanation of the position taken
by the German and American govern
ments. In the specific question, Ger
manys differences with America were
mainly attributable to conflicting in
terpretations of the favored nation
treatment assured by the treaty of
1925 Cloud Conservative interruption)

RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS
IMPORTANT DECISION BY JUDGE
TULEY AT CHICAGO.
Minority Stockholders Have Right
to Examine the Books of the Com
pany-Their Only Safeguard.

Chicago, Feb. ia decision which
experienced lawyers say is Of far
reaching importance in fixing the
rights of minority stockholders in their
relations with corporation officials has
been handed down by Judge TuIey OF
the circuit court, in dissOIving the in
junction issued in January restraining
Lewis 3. Perrin, a stakeholder in the
Rodger Ballast Car company, from
bringing mandamuS proceedings
against the company to compel the di-
rectOrs to allow him to examine the
corporation records.
The suit, which is unprecedented in
the records of American jurisprudence,
was begun on the car company on Jan.
Is, when an eX-parte injunction was is
sued by Judge Tuthill. The Injunction
was sought on the assertion that Perrin
would reveal the price paid by the COM
pany for manufacturing its patented
cars, and the amount at which they
were sold to the railroad COMPANIES,
which is regarded by the company as u
trade secret which, if divulged to the
purchasers. would ruin the business Of
the company.
In his decision Judge Tuley held that
under the law d single stakeholder has
the right to examine the books and rec
ords of the corporation of which he was
officials have no right in a. court OF
equity to attempt to restrain such eX-
animation BY injunction
In conclusion, Judge Tuley said: In
these days of gigantic combinations of
corporations in the shape of trusts tor
the purpose of secretly carrying on and
exercising franchises granted by state
governments-and this in defiance of
prohibitory statutes-it is of the ut
most Importance that this right of
stakeholder to examine the workings
and methods of such combinations be
given a liberal construction. If not his
only, it is the greatest safeguard which
the law provides against miSmanage-
ment or treachery on the part of those
in control
1.-The underlying claim of equity in
this bill is the right of directors to con-
ceal from stockholders the information
as to the manner in which they are
using the property, the remedy sought
in injunction being to prevent him from
enforcing a legal right to obtain that
information. The court will not enjOin
a feared or threatened lawsuit The
contention of the complainant is not
based on good law nor good equity. The
injunction must be dissolved"

Tragic End Of Alfred of Saxe-COburg
and GOtha.
GRANDSON OF VICTORIA
RUINED BY DISSIPATION AND
DIED A MANIAC.
Duke Of Connaught May Succeed to
the Coburg Dukedom, But Must
Renounce His Native Land-Bril-
liant Social Events at London
Promoter HooIey's Brides.

Copyright, 1899. by the Associated Press.)
London, Feb. 11.-There is a dark
tragedy lying behind the death of
young Prince Alfred of Saxe-Coburg
and Gotha, the only son of the Duke of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, second son of
Queen Victoria This adds greatly to
the grief of his relatives. He was
handsome. tall and of manly bearing
and his slight boyish figure in a bril-
liant hussar uniform was conspicuous
during the jubilee festivities in Eng
land. Soon after the jubilee the prince
returned TO his regiment in Berlin, one
OF the crack guards regiment; but he
soon fell into bad hands, became en-
tangled III gambling scandals and fin
ally this resulted in his cousin, En-
peror William. disInissing him from the
guards and. under the guise of promo
ton, transferring him to a line regi-
ment at Coburg Two officers who were
mixed up in the gambling scandal were
cashiered
But gambling was not the worst fea-
ture of the young princes miSdeeds.
He INDUCED in other designations which
undermined his health and brought
about his untimely death as it did with
Alfonso XIII of Spain. Early in Janu-
airy specialists pronounced Prince Al
fred's state to be hopeless and his ac-
cession to the throne of Coburg out of
the question. The prince, however, had
to participate in the silver wedding fes-
tivitieS of his parents and was carried
to the gala performance at the Coburg
theatre in a sedan chair Four days
before the princes death the disease
from which he was suffering caused in
flammation Of the brain, bringing an
agonizing end. He died without any
of his relatives near him, in a delirium,
IN the sanitarium in the Austrian Ty-
Tol TO which he was taken. Only two
doctors were at his bedside when he
expired.

ANDREE STORY DISCREDITED.
Unlikely That Explorers Body Has
Been Found.

Malmo, Sweden. Feb. 1.-THE brother
of Prof Andree, the missing balloonist
who attempted to cross the Arctic re-
gions, has informed a local newspaper
that he does not believe the report re-
ceived by way of Krasnoyaruk, Siberia,
that the remains of Andree and his
companions and the car of the balloon
in which he left Danes island, of the
Spitzbergen group, on July l. 1897, have
been found between Keno and Pit. in
the province of YeniZik. He says that
locality is cultivated and that it APP
pears incredible that the cOrpseS and
the car of the balloon could have been
there a year and a half without having
been seen before this. Furthermore,
Andree's brother points out, in stormy
weather the bodies would almost Ger
tainly have been separated from the
wreck

OF Saxe-Coburg and Gotha will bring
into prominence the question of the
succession Of the throne of Coburg,
which deyolves upon the Duke of Con-
naught, brother of the Duke of Edin-
burgh and third son of Queen Victoria.
Before long the Duke of Connaught
may have to decide whether he will
leave his native land and take up the
sovereignty of Saxe-C oburg. If he
chooses the latter, he will have to aban-
don his career in the British army, in
which he is the most popular general
and has the prospect of becoming COM
nander- in chief. The Duchess of Con-
naught will have an important voice in
the question. She is a patriotic Ger
man and a princess of Prussia and will
probably throw her weight in favor of
Saxe-Coburg.
The general belief, however, is that
the Duke of Connaught will renounce
the title and succession in favor of his
son, Prince Arthur, who was born Jan.
10, 1883.
SOCIAL GAYETIES.
The death of Prince Alfred has been
a heavy blow to the London season,
as black will have to be worn up to
Easter. The season began with the
opening of the parliamentary session.
The Duke of Devonshire's political re-
ception on Tuesday evening was a
brilliant function. The Duchess of
Marlborough was magnificently gowned
and Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain wore
Mrs. Ronalds was dressed in black tulle
and jet. Prominent among the guests
was Mrs. Henry White, wife of the
United States charge d'affaires, who
is at present chaperoning Lord Rose
bery's daughters.
The most gorgeous festivity of the
week. however, was the ball at the Ho-
tel Cecil in aid of the Gordon memorial
college at Khartoum. There was a
dazzling display of jewelry and en-
broidery and the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough was again the center of attraction
in white muslin with rich pink en-
broidery. She wore her famous pearls,
of which she had fifteen or sixteen rows
around her neck, besides a necklace of
diamonds and a double tiara in her
hair Lady Randolph Churchtll's pearls
were almost as splendid.
London is to have another great ba-
gar, which is expected to eclipse the
successful press baZar of last year. 1t
will be held at the Niagara skating
rink, in June in aid of the Charing
Cross hospital. The arrangements are
on a grandioSe scale. Practically every
duchess and every woman Of note in
London society will aid in some way
or other. Mrs. John w. Mackay will
take the American stall, assisted by her
daughter. Princess Colonna, and Mes
danes Clarence Mackay, Bradley Mar
tin and Ronalds. y rich American has
presented the whole American Bar out
fit, which will be in the hands of Mrs.
Brown Potter. The latter was present
at the Devonshire reception on Tuesday,
and it is whispered that the invitation
was sent at the instance Of the Prince
of Wales.

odically criticising the manner of the
present day young man, is again agi-

general lack of manners and breeding.
LORDS WILL DISGORGE.
One of the fruits of the Hooley ex-
posures is that Lords de la War; and
Albemarle announced this week their
intention of returning the e27, 900 which
Hooley claims they received for becom-
ing directors of the French Dunlop
Pneumatic Tire company. Both, how
ever, repudiated Hooley's accounts of
the matter.
The Rev. John Watson Gan Mac
laren) and Mrs. Watson are passen-
gers on board the White Star line
steamer Teutonic, which left Liverpool
for New York on Wednesday. They
will spend three months in the United
States.
Advices from Stockholm are that the
health of King Oscar is far from salts
factory. He will go to BiarritZ, if he
is able to do so, at the end of the month.
Thence he will take a trip to North
America The queen of Sweden and
Norway is still very feeble. She will
go to Honnef Prussia, after King Os-
cars departure for BiarritZ.
Washington's birthday will be bril-
liantly celebrated at the United States
legation at Stockholm by a ball, which
the crown prince has promised to at
tend.
The well known polar explorer, Pro-
fessor Nathorst, has issued an appeal
to the Swedish people for funds to
equip an expedition to East Greenland
during the coming summer to search
for Professor Andree, the missing bal
loonist, and to engage in scientific eX-
plorations. The party will consist of
twenty-five persons. They will be alb
sent four months and the cost of the
expedition is estimated at 20, 900 crowns.
The bright cold snap of January has
been succeeded by one of the mug
giest Februaries on record, the Their
mometer during the past week standing
at So degrees. Similar unusual mildness
is reported from the continent. There
have been severe storms over the south
and southwest portions of the British
isles and floods in many parts. The
river Thames has risen seriously, and
many residents of Windsor have been
removing their furniture as q result of
the foundations. Influenza has resumed
its sway, but it is not of a deadly type

are aware that such a war hurts both
parties. and industries would suffer.
But Americans, by their total diSre-
gard of treaties have already injured our
exports so seriously that it seems neces-

worse, and injure US more than a tariff

The foregoing article from the organ of
the dominant faction in the reichstag is
certainly significant The Kreuz Zeitung
Guiding:
AS pressure upon our own government,
which has always shown weakness to-
to be used automatically against those
gentlemen at Washington, this interpella-
ton is certainly desirable and welcome"
The entire liberal press takes the oppo-
site view.
