The reason of the contemplated visit of
the German Emperor to the Vatican does
not lie in the fact that King Edward re-
Gently visited the Pope, nor in any other
e~xtraneous matter, but rather In the in
ternal politics of the German Empire. The
Roman Catholic party, known In German
politics as the Center" is the strongest
in the Empire, having 102 seats In the
Reichstag as against fifty-eight controlled
by the Socialists. the next strongest party.
And it is the only party supporting the
government that seems likely to increase
its representation in the coming elections.
for the general drift is toward the Social
lists and their allies. the Liberals.
The three great points in Emperor Will

strongest army in the world; a great navy,
merchant marine and foreign
and a great colonial empire. To practical
ly every point of this policy the Social
lists and the more moderate Liberals are
unalterably opposed. The Conservatives

policies through thick and thin, but the

Like the other parties. it has cross divi-

THE HOME OF FANATICIsM.

permanent OF Russian Haters Of Jews.
New York Mail and Express.
The Russian journals have lately told
a strange story of fanaticism. which IL
illustrative of the temperament OF many
of the class of people who now deem IL
a holy duty to prosecute the Jews. Ivan
Aslamazof, a Russian peasant OF Bay
andour. in the Caucasus. was very I'll. and
believed that he must die. In this state or
mind he fell asleep. and IN a dream ST.
John appeared TO him and led him 10 a

the divine apparition, Il will restore you
to health. But you have a son. When that
son shall have reached the age OF seven
years. you shall sacrifice him 10 me at the
door Of the church" Aslamazor recovered
and lately carried out the terms OF the
horrible command that he believed he had
received, cutting his sons throat before
the church door
II appeared from the statement which
the man made that he had struggled
against the performance of this deed. He
declared that he had prayed long and
desperately to be released from the sup
posed divine requirement. but in vain. The
command once issued, the heavens re-
mained sealed. Aslamazoff was not in
sane in the ordinary sense. and IL was
shown that he dearly loved his child. He
was simply fanatical TO an extent quite
beyond the comprehension.
A family or people or the Jewish faith,
now resident I'm this city. tell a story OF
Russian fanaticism which Is of a different
sort, but not much less extraordinary. The
father OF the family was well-to-do In
Russia. and employed a Russian peasant
nurse TO take care OF his children. One
day the children were left alone with this
nurse, who at once seized the occasion to
heat a fiatiron red hot, with which she
branded a cross on the bare back of each
of the children. When called upon TO tell
why she committed this outrage. she de-
clared that, as their ancestors had cruel
fed the Saviour, * was only right and
proper that the children should be punished
in this wayi
Such instances OF Russian fanaticism az
this are illustrative. The Russian lower
classes are naturally a kindly people. and,
by their essential nature, inclined to be
tolerant. But their religious notions are
Of the medieval type. They believe firm
ly that every person who is not a member
O: the Orthodox Greek Church is lost
eternally, and there Is no extent Of perse-
cution to which an acceptance of the notion
of exclusive salvation will not drive those
who hold 1t. provided they have the power
to prosecute.

ANOTHER BLooD-sTA1NED THRONE.

A brief special from Sofia. the capital of
Bulgaria, says that the news Of the assas-
sination of King Alexander, of Servia, has
caused great alarm there lest Prince Ferdi-
nand, the ruler Of Bulgaria, may be the
next victim. Bulgaria is another of those
governments which the Pope referred to a
few days ago when he exclaimed. when
will people learn that blood-stained thrones
are not worth having!' Bulgaria adjoins
Servia on the east and Is somewhat larger,
having 24.ssO square miles to 1850 in Servia.
1t is the most uneasy and iniammatory of
the Balkan states. and it has been thought
for some years past that it would be the
starting point of European war If one
should come. 1t Is worse of than Servia
in one respect, viz. hat it is a suzerainty
of Turkey. while Servia has nominal in
dependence. Wherever the hand of the
Sultan is laid there is sure to be trouble.
Prince Ferdinand is not nearly as bad a
man as was King Alexander, but he is
mated by the Bulgarians. His throne has
long been considered tte shakiest one in
Europe. and for years past he has feared
assassination. An attempt on his life was
made in 1896. and as a result four men
were hanged and an officer of the army was
shot. When he took his seat on the throne
in July, 1SS7, his chief adviser was SIAM
bouloff. a very able man and strongly anti
Russian. Prince F~erdinand's wife brought
about a quarrel between him and Stam-
bouloff. which resulted in the latter's dis
missal. and shortly afterward in his as
sassination. This act was traced near to
Prince Ferdinand's door. though Russian

complished by a bullet wound and fifteen
or twenty stabs. Prince Ferdinand made
a pretense of regretting his death, but
Madame Stambouloff refused to admit to

the government. accept any of the wreaths
sent by Prince Ferdinand or allow the
funeral expenses to be paid by the gov

was so unrelenting that his death became

For many years the great gold fields OF
the famous Coolgardie mining district OF
western Australia have been suffering seri-
ously from the lack of an adequate water
supply. 1t was by no means an
occurrence to pay as much as rs cents for
a gallon of drinking water. Hotel keepers
in many towns and villages were won't to
guard more jealousy the manner In which
the customer helped himself to the water
than to the whisky bottle. Even the rich

able to take a bath. This necessity for
procuring an adequate and permanent wa
ter supply had forced itself so strongly
upon the attention Of the government that

Greek Letter Reunion mt Fair.

The idea of having q great reunion CT

ceiving much attention among college men.

els. of the Worlds Fair. at a dinner given
in his honor by the Beta Theta Pi Club
OF this city, made up largely of the alum
nj Of Washington University. OF which
President Francis is a graduate. The
speaker recalled that twenty-eight Greek
letter fraternities of the American colleges
boosted a membership of about 10000. He
believed IL would be an admirable thing
TO bring them together at the fair. 1t
was suggested that certain rooms IN the
temple of fraternity might be secured for
the use of the visiting Greek letter men and
their families and friends and that special
days al the exposition could with propriety
be set aside for such programme as a
committee OF the Greek letter societies
might determine. A committee was ap-
