that as chancellor he was responsible for
the official utterances of the emperor,
which he was required to countersign, and
that beyond these limits the emperor had
full liberty, like every other Prussian to

Herr Schadler having intimated that his

He cited numerous legal authorities
tending to show that an allegation on
"information and belief" met with all re-

tended that the statutes necessarily the
result OF joint action by both houses and
senate were not absolutely binding upon
the house, for the reason that the const-
tuition especially made the house alone
sole Judge Of the qualifications, elections
and returns Of its own members.

the personal effects of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles l.. Fair arrived from Paris
few days ago. The magnificent Russian
sable coat, valued at $4,000, which Mrs.
Fair bequcathed in her will to Mrs. Joe
Harvey was gone and a cheap imitation

Mrs. Fairs famous pearl necklace of five
strings, valued at $I5 5000 had been tam
pored with. and instead of real pearls in
the necklace, cheap imitation gems had
been set in their places.
Numbers of articles of jewelry which
the Fairs were known to have taken to
Europe were missing, and their only ef
fects which were returned through the
American consulate in Paris intact were
Mrs. Fairs chinchlla and mink coats and
Charles Fairs scarf pins. The changes
were made, it is believed, before the yalu-
ables were turned over to the American
consulate. Steps have been taken TO at
tempt to locate the stolen articles.
