SCOFF AT THE ROBERTS ''PIOT''
GERMANS RIDICULE ALLEGED
ATTEMPT AT ASSASSINATION.
Declare It Scheme to Exclude Beers
From Pretoria-Courtesy Shown
French ex-Minister.

Copyright 1900. by the Associated Press.)
Berlin, Aug. 1.-THE British news
about the Pretoria conspiracy to seize
the person of Lord Roberts and shoot
all the British officers possible is dis
credited here.
The Vossiche Zeitung ridicules the
alleged fact that foreign conspirators
should plan such an elaborate scheme.
and the Deutsche Tages Zeitung re-
calls the previous johannesburg con-
spiracy, whose purpose it adds, like the
present pilot, was merely a British
desire to expel all foreigners and
others considered obnoxious.
The Vossiehe Zeitung prints a pri-
vate letter from Pretoria, dated July
10, in which ii is related how the Brit
ism issued orders expelling forthwith
a number of peaceful German residents
of Pretoria and elsewhere. giving them
but a few hours in which to regulate
their private affairs But finally, on
the strenuous objections of the German
consul, the expulsion orders were re-
scinded.
Courtesy to Frenchman.
NJ Lockroy, the former French min
lister of marine, has been accorded an
unusual mark Of imperial favor, re-
ceiving permission to visit Germany
and investigate its navy organization
and especially the manner in which
the navy increase is carried out.

errors may have crcpt into the list,

careful. The office will again bc

desired to do 30 not even being al
lowed to place his name in nomina
tion for mayor. Mayor Barnes ha.
many friends who greatly respect
