It VIII be seen that the increase IN cash
was 50, 7s9, 400. The increase in deposits
made the necessary reserve larger by

A NEVADA DIVORCE STIRS
UP BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS

NEW YORK, July 6.-The London cor
respondent of the Tribune writing of the
Russell case says:
The case of Earl Russell, involving the
trial of a peer by the House of Lords
after the suspension of functions of this
kind for sixty years, may offer an object
lesson in the form of a majority verdict
which will tend to dignity the traditional
rights and dignities of twelve ordinary
men in the box. New precedents may be
created by fresh committee empowered
to examine the journals of the House Of
Lords.
The essential facts will be that a rad
ical peer will be exposed to a majority
verdict from a house representing tie
old toryism of the privileged classes and
that any member answering the roll call
of the lord high steward will be both an
unsworn juryman respecting issues of
fact and a judge regarding complex
questions of divorce law in England, and
in America. The results of SO remark
able an experiment in criminal procedure
cannot be safely forecasted. An abandon
ment, or at least a reconstruction of the
antiquated procedure of trial by privi-
legged jury would seem more likely than
the substitution of a majority for an

unanimous verdict in ordinary criminal
practice.
The Nevada Judge who granted the
divorce decree to Eard Russell has in
deed been instrumental in raising a Sc
ries of questions of exceptional interest.
This is the first issue of the validity of
the divorce under the laws of Nevada
andfthe decisions of the United States
Supreme Court. There is the funda-
mental question of the power of any for
eign tribunal to release an Englishman
from the obligations of marriage con-
tracted in his own country and to enable
him to return to England with another
wife. There Is the issue of privilege,
with the anomalous procedure of trial
by the House of Lords when there is a
charge of felony against peer and this
| is the traditional inheritance of social
conditions which have been transformed
| by the normal development of political
! institutions. The Nevada judge has
opened a pandora's box for the confusion
of the privileged order and for the be-
wilderment of hair-splitting lawyers.
The best consolation which the stern
| moralist can find Is the hope that the
Russell case may lead to the enactment
of uniform divorce laws in the States of
American Union and may open the way
for a closer approach between England
and America in legislation for the de-
fense or the sanctity of marriage.

PASSES AWAY
Death Of Former
Chancellor of
/. Germany.
"A GOOD FRIEND
OF AMERICANS
The Man Whom the Kaiser Al.
ways Called Uncle
ChIodwig."

BERLIN. July 6.-Prince Won Hohenlo-
he, formerly German Imperial Chancel-
lor. died at Ragatz, Switzerland, last
evening.
BERLIN, July 6.-Prince Won HohenA>
lohes death was generally unexpected
here, as he left Berlin several weeks ago
apparently in good health, although his
increasing weakness was evident. The
Prince arrived at Ragatz extremely ex-
hausted. His death is attributed to the
weakness of old age. The arrangements
for the transportation of the body to
Germany and for the obsequies are not
| yet definitely determined upon, but 1t
| is expected that the remains will be
| conveyed to the Hohenlohe ancestral
home at Schillingfurst, Bavaria, where
| the family vault is situated and where
| the body of Prince Won Hohenlohe's
wife is inferred. 1t is also expected that
Chancellor Won Buelow will break his
seaside rest and attend the funeral.
Although Emperor William has fixed
his departure on his trip to Norway for
Monday next, It is deemed likely that
His Majesty will once more postpone
1.-The date of his starting on this trip, IN
order to enable him to attend the oh6e-
quies. Owing to Emperor Williams re-
lationship to Prince Won Hohenlohe. His
Majesty always called the Prince I'm
Gle Chlodwig."
| 1t is not believed here that the body
of Prince Won Hohenlohe will be brought
| to Berlin before being taken to Sehii-
lingsfurst.
| The officials of the United States EN-
bassy Informed the correspondent here
of the Associated Press that the death
| of the former Chancellor was much re-
gretted because of his uniform kindli-
ness toward Americans and American
interests. Prince Won Hohenlohe's at
| titude through his ChancellorShip was
always fair and conciliatory in regard
to German-American relations. AL
though he was an extensive estate own
er he did not share the Agrarian hostil-
ity towards the United States. 1t was
owing in large measure to his friend
ly spirit during several trying years
that Germany's relations with the
United States never deviated from cor
diality. He received many Americans
and was always friendly to them. AT
the time of the death of United States
, ambassador Theodore B. Runyan In
1896, which occurred in the middle of
the night, Secretary Jackson went early
; in the morning to inform the Cabinet
Ministers Of Mr. Runyan's demise, but
: only found Minister Hohenlohe ready
; to receive him.
