by the Berlin Press.

in the reichstag of Count Won Buelow,
imperial chancellor, in reply to ques-
ton on the subject of Mr.. Kruger 5 fail
ure to be received by Emperor William,
but they complain that he did not indi-
cate his internal policy.
The National Zeitung. despite it's
sympathy for the Beers, says thu Ger
man people will approve Buelow's out
lined Boer policy. The Tageblatt says
Count Buelow did not answer the ques-
ton why it was necessary to affront Mr..
Kruger, even admitting that Germany
could not help him. The Vossiche Zeit-
ung says the chancellor furnished docu-
mentary proof that Germany, with Hol-
land, has repeatedly warned ana ad-
vised Mr.. Kruger, who had paid no heed
to them.

MESSAGE No lie ASSEMBLY,
Acting Governor JeIks Calls Halt on
Appropriations.


ApprOpria tiOns.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. lin view
of the fact that there are some $500, 900
of proposed new appropriations by the
legislature, Acting Governor Jelks has
sent the following message to the gen.
eral assembly:
"After considering the state of the
treasury in reference to the many large
appropriations already made, thought
it right to advise the general assembly
to pass no further appropriation beyond
the general appropriation bill now in
the senate, holding that bill substan-
TALLY to amounts which have been al
lowed before, at least until after the re-
cess, which would give Governor Sam
ford ample opportunity to advise the
legislature suggesting the bounds at
which a liberal minded body of lawmak
ers necessarily pause. In the meantime
the revenue bill will be ready, allowing
the members of the general assembly
and the executive to arrive at more &C.
curate figures as to the resources of the
treasury than they now possess. | hope
that the general assembly will observe
these suggestions. Tt seems tome only
fair to the new administration and not
unfair to any interest"

Alleged EmbezzIer Makes AppIica-
cation For Bond, and Same
Is Fixed at $4,000.

EX-Auditor Thomas J. Hunter,
charged with embezzlement by the At
lanta and Wet Point railroad, arrived
in Atlanta early Friday morning.
With him were William P. Hill, spec
ial legal representative of the road,
and John W. Rodgers, Pinkerton de-
tective. The three men were direct
from Tsugier, Morocco. Shortly after
their arrival in the city, they went to
the Office of Mr.. Hill.
At 8 O'Clock Hunter appeared in the
superior court room before Judge
Lumpkin and made application
through his attorney for a bond to
avert the only other alternative of 60
ing to prison on the three indictments
found by the Fulton county grand
jury charging him with conspiracy and
embezzlement in the sum of $40, 900
from the Atlanta and West Point rail-
road during his term Of Office as audi
tor.
Judge Lumpkin fixed his bond at an
aggregate of $4,000.
Ten thousand dollars Of this bond
was to insure his presence at the trial
on the first indictment charging him
with conspiracy jointly with former
Ticket Agent Albert Howell, ST., to
defraud the road Of S21, 900.
Fifteen thousand dollars of the
bond was to insure his presence at the
trial on the second indictment charging
him with embeZzlement of $4,000
Five thousand dollars was to InsuI e
his presence at the trial on the third
indictment charging him with embez-
element of $3.50 from the agent of the
road 2t West Point.
Hunter did not make the bond in
court. He was carried to the Office of
Sheriff Nelms in the building and al
lowed to consult with his attorney
in reference to the bond.
Hunter remained in the office OF
Sheriff helms until las o'clock, at
which time he was taken to the Tower.

eve had a pleasant voyage over,
and l have been we'll treated by every
body since We left Tangiers."
After inquiring about several friends
Hunter lapsed into silence, except fol
an occasional word with his attorney.
Hunter had but five cents on lis
person when he was taken into custody
: by the order of the American consul
i'll Morocco, and this was in coppers oil
the American coinage. Ho had been
travelling under the name Of Stevens,
the detective says, and had assumed

The prisoner sat quietly through the
hearing for O bond. He did not appear
at all nervous, but shook hands cordi
