residence was searched. 1t is probable
that he will remain abroad and decline
to place himself within the reach of the
Russian military authorities. The de-
nutv chief of the general staff, General
IIarta,mann. one of the most distin-
ruished officers of the army, has been
suspended from duty and lodged, like
Colonel Grimm, in the citadel, and there
are about eight other generals and col
onels implicated in the affair and under
strict arrest.
That they have not yet been tried by
courtmartial, in spite of all that Is said
10 the contrary, is known for a fact;
and it is quite untrue. or, at any rate,
premature, to state that either Colonel
Grimm or any of his confederate5 have
been shot. But it has become known
that not only has the Berlin War De-
partment been kept posted for 10 years
past about all the changes and modlii-
cations of the Russian project of mobil-
izstion. but that the German govern
ment has likewise been placed in posses
sion of the most complete series or
plans and designs of the defenses of War
saw. Modlin. Debbin, BrZesc, and, in
fact, of all the Russian strongholds
along the German frontier. many of
them being of new and intricate de-
signs.
Colonel Grimm alone Is known to
have received half a million dollars
during the past 10 years from the Ger
man War Department in payment for
the secrets which he betrayed. and he
probably got a good deal more, as he
was Use enough to bank much of his
property abroad. 1t is certain to go
very hard with him and with those
generals and colonies who are impli-
Gated in this disgraceful case; for, aside
from the question Of treachery itself,
the Russian government will now be
compelled in sheer Self-defence, to de-
wise some rev scheme of mobilization
of the troops in the event of war, and to
likeWic alter very considerably the
system Of its dcfenSeS at the strong
holls above mentioned. 1t is hardly
necessary to point cut how intensely all
this HIS sc.Nel to increase the bitter
ness entertained throughout Russia
against Germany and how much it in
creases the prospects of war between
the two countries.

regent by large majority.
1t is just as well that this should be
placed on record. since there are rcia-
lively few people who understand the
condition of affairs in Brunswick, the
general impression being that the Prus-
sian government and the German en-
peror, by a mere exercise of arbitrary
power and of might in preference to right
have imposed a Prussian prince upon the
people Of Brunswick, and have Illegally
barred the Duke of Cumberland from his
ducal throne. 1t is the people Of Bruins

ceptance Of the regency. Of Brunswick;
with the necessity which 1t Involves OF
spending a large portion of the year in
that very picturesque but terribly dreary
little town Of Brunswick, must be re-

faction to himself.
