German Diet Defeats the Govern

WILLIAM MUCH NoENsED
Regards Il as Personal Insult and WIN
Deal Punishment to Offenders
cahIast Called to Berlin.

BERLIN. Aug. 2s-The political sit
uation this week has been highly m
teresting. The unexampIed defeat Of
the government in the diet, which was
a personal defeat for Emperor william,
has engrossed attention. The absence
Of his majesty complicated the sltua-
ton for the cabinet and the emperor
not having expected a rejection OF
the canal bill. no provision was made
az 10 what steps the government would
take In such an event.
For several days political chaos
reigned. Detailed reports were wired
to the emperor. and every member Of
the cabinet participating in the debates
and his majesty wrote and wired re-
plies in which 1t was apparent he felt
a keen sense Of the personal outrage
and meant to deal punishment to the
worst blund=reFs and offenders.
II was only on Wednesday that the
nation and the cabinet began to know
precisely how the emperor stood and
what we're his intentions regarding the
unprecedented situation. 1t appeared
that Emperor William had concluded
not to dissolve the diet and not to
accept the resignation Of the cabinet
Being resolved on this. the present
outcome Of the crisis amounts to next
to nothing.
The emperor and the cabinet win con-
tinue to govern with the same party
which brought on the crisis. The crisis
is so serious. however that every
member of the cabinet has been re-
called to Berlin.

Expected to Take Place September s.
New Improvements VIII Make Her
Greatest Ship Afloat.

NEWPORT NEWS. Aug. 2s.-The
trial trip OF the battleship Kearsarge
viii take place between September 5
and Is. The ship is now within about
four per cent Of completion and is suf-
fidently advanced to warrant the
statement that she will be sent away
from the ship yard on her irst trial
trip. the early part Of next month.
Reports have been sent out from
washington to .he effect that owing
to the delay caused Dy shortage Of
men during the yellow fever scare the
Kearsarge could not go out until the
latter part OF October and the Ken
lucky not until December, but these
had no foundation. 81
The trial trip OF the Kearsarge Is
being looked forward to with great deal
Of interest. She WIN be the first war
ship ever built embodying the super
poised turret idea, that is with the
eight inch turrets over the thirteen
inch turrets. enabling the ship, as well
as the Kentucky. to concentrate on
one point far heavier fire in less
time then any other ship afoat. Cap
tain William Folgsr. who win COM
mand the Kearsarge. has been here
for some time experimenting the work
on the vessel and he will go out on
her when the trial trip between the
ship yard and the Atlantic ocean takes
place.
Captain Folger is one of the high
authorities in the navy on ordnance
and his opinion OF the success Of the
superpoised turret idea after the trial.
will be worth something.
The Kearsarge has just received a
coat OF white paint which she will
wear on her trial trip.
The speep of the Kersarge will also
he watched with interest by naval
men. The contract speed is only 16
knots. but the Newport News Ship
building 4 Dry Dock Company has
thus far managed to exceed contract
speed in all of its merchant and gov
ernmeat contracts, and it is believed
the Kersarge and the Kentucky win
not be exceptions.
The three little gunboats, the Nash
vile. the Helena and the Wilmington.
the hest and speediest boats Of their
class in the world, all far exceeded the
contract speed. If the Kearsarg makes
in the neighborhood of II knots an
hour on her official trial, many naval
men will not be surprised.

Flagship Produces Heart Trouble.
WASHINGTON. Aug 26,--The Army
and Navy Register says:
Recent letters from Manila mention
the Illness OF Admiral Watson as the
source Of great anxiety to his officers.
The illness is an effect OF an accident
which occurred to his launch while he
was on board on the 18th of July. The
Baltimore, his flagship, has been for
some time at Cavite. leaving Manila so
as to escape the fun force Of the ty-
phoons, Requiring to make trip up
the river, the admiral started in his
launch A strong wind was blowing
and as the launch. the Undine, went
under the bridge over the river, known
as the bridge OF Spain. the strong cur
rent, aided by the wind, set against
the little boat and she was taken ou
OF her course and thrown against
hawser from a sailing vessel, This
rope carried away the awning and,
striking the smokestack took that also.
Admiral Watson, sitting in the for
ward part of the launch, and Witness
ing the full danger of the accident
showed no sonselous appearance Of
having been startled excessively by
the occurrence or In any way of having
suffered by It. Later, however, In fact
before his return to the flagship, SER
ious heart trouble developed and In
consequence he was regarded as ex-
tremely Ill up TO the date of the let
ters of the 18th. No one but his ply
siclan is allowed access to him and all

The libraries in the front room possessed
