directing the agitation against the closing

ance in Finisterre. declares that the
movement is entirely spontaneous on the
part of the people themselves and that
not an act nor a shout has occurred In
Brittany to justify the allegation that a
Royalist conspiracy exists. Count Albert
De Nun SAYS the Marseillaise has been
sung everywhere, and that it is evident.
the government is embarrassed by the
situation. and has invented the Roya'isr
scare in order to create diversion.

LONDON, August l6.-Quite diplo-

His Majesty therefore suggested to the

Australia. Neither the Duke nor MS
young American Duchess, however, cares
10 so SO far from home.
The situation is further complicated by
the fact that the sending of Lord PEN
trtke to Ireland would involve an irnpor-
tant change in the royal household. of
which Pembroke is now Lord Steward.
Pembroke would be the Kings favorte
for Irish vice-royalty, but for His Ma

improbable that the Irish post will go to

seem to be chiefly that there is no one else

Scientific circles. especially gentlemen
Of the medical profession, have received
quite a severe shock In the kaiser's re-
fusal to mitigate the punishment of one
of their number whose passion for ana
tomical research recently overcame mis-
discretion.
The municipal institution for epileptics
received a girl sixteen years old suffering
from an advanced form of the disease.
When the girl died in the institution DR..
Hebold, the house surgeon, severed the
head from the body and took possession
of it for anatomical purposes. The girls
relatives, caring nothing about the inter-
ests of science, preferred charges against
the surgeon, who, in spite of his high
standing, was sentenced to three days
imprisonment
Thereupon the entire medical and sur
gical profession Of Berlin rallied about
the distinguished cuIprit. Such a prece-
dent, they argued, would strike blow at
the very heart of medical science They
carried their appeal to the Kaiser, and
now the Emperor has proved his title as
q paternal monarch by taking the side of
public sentiment. DIR. Hebold will have to
serve his sentence, and hereafter peo-
pie may go to the Berlin hospitals with
greater certainty that they will be per-
mitted to leave them, perhaps not alive
but at least with their bodies and limbs
intact.
There has been a. great deal said this
season about casualties among mountain
climbers in the Alps. DR.. Kursteiner. of

was a total of 275 such accidents which
resulted fatally.

surprisingly low when the expeditions
