The most important point in connec-

German commander in China, is that
he has an American wife. She was n
Miss Lee of New York, the daughter of
a wealthy merchant. She first married
Prince Frederick Of Schleswig- HOlStein,
who, in order to we'd her, had to re
nounce his title, though he was after
ward created, by the emperor, Prince
Frederick Won NOer. She married
Count Won Wa1deTsee in 1874, two years
after the death of the prince.
Count Won Waldersee is IS years of
sge, and although he has frequently
been in battles, including the fierce
struggles of Metz and Sedan, and at
the siege of Paris, he has never been
wounded.
Owing to the influence of his wife
who is a fascinating woman Of great
tact and Of a remarkable personality,
General Waldersee began some years
ago to take an active part in politics.
1T is believed by many in Germany.
and, in fact. it has been so stated in
some of the German papers, that the
ambition Of the American wife was 20

before the accession of the present en-

Bismarck held his own, however, in
spite Of the strong friendship of the
new emperor for both the general and
mis- wife. and even since the death of
Bismarck the emperor has not allowed
the political ambitions of the couple to

PiIfering is not confined to the City
of Mexico, however, if the testimony
Of men who have had much experience
in various parts of the republic is to be
believed. A gentleman who has had
much to do with building railroads
here, says the thieves are numerous and
bold.
"They will sell you a lot of ties one
day, and if you are not careful they
will steal them in the night and sell
them over to you the next day. If the
wood is marked on the ends they will
saw off just enough to obliterate the
marks and still leave the ties of Tegu-
lation length. In fact. it has sometimes
seemed to me that these fellows will
work harder to swindle a railroad COM
pany than they will to earn honest
wages"
This same gentleman told a story
which went to show that size and
weight are not serious obstacles in the
! way of these determined robbers.
ON a certain section where we were
doing some work we put up a large
iron tank for the storage of water.

To cap the climax, the railroad man

1t must not be inferred from these
tales told to travellers that Mexico is a
paradise of thieves. On the contrary
when robbers are caught in the act
they are severely punished-often, I am
told, with death. Sometimes they are
placed in the army for life and this
they dread almost as much as being
shot. As a matter of fact the Ameri-
can visitor to this republic is about as
safe in person and property as if he
were at home, provided he exercises
ordinary prudence.
