Verge of Insanity.

BERLIN. July IA man high in au-
thortty in the foreign department de-
ciared that the discovery Of an anar-
chfst plot against the life OF the Kaiser
at Seattle Wash, did not come as
surprise 10 the German authorities. who
have long been aware OF the fact that
there were various groups Of anarchists
IN the Western American States. who are
planning 10 ussassinate the ruler OF the
German Empire. and that It is now be-
ing discussed among the high govern
ment officials whether It would not be
advisable to use part of the German Sc
cret funds 20 send out men to the Unit
ed states who could keep an eye upon
the various anarchist colonies.
The United States Secret Service seems

chists which for years have been exist
ing at HObOken and Paterson, and

the German police are aware, In a gen

Should the plans OF the government TO
send German spies TO America 70 watch
ygouId-be assassins be indorsed by the
Kaiser, it Will, of course, not be made
public in Germany, as it would surely
raise a general ouJcry on the part OF the
socialists In the reiChstag. AS the eN-
penses would be borne by the secret
funds. it would not be necessary 20 ask
the German parliament for any appro-
priation. and the whole matter IS 70 be
kept secret as possible,

said to be so serious that his physicians
do not leave his side for a moment.
Cars Nerves Shattered.
The Car has really shown much more
courage. physical and moral, than any
one thought he had. but now his nerves
are completely shattered. and il IS ow-
ing TO the entreaJies OF the Czarina ne
has. at last. consented TO go TO her old
home ar Darmstadr this fall for COM

There are many now, both here and
ia Russia, who believe that when the
Car leaves Russia for the little Ger
man principally, he win have ruled
his last day as autocrat. for it is an
omen secret that the grand dukes have
made all preparations 20 form regency
and either to send Nicholas TO some dis
tant palace or to a monastery where he
will probably end his days.
The reason for this IS that Nicholas
. has become convinced that nothing can
save Russia but the granting OF a lib
eraI constitution and this the grand
dukes are going TO prevent, no matter
what IL may cost.
King Peter OF Servia. who is almost
out Of his wits because Of ths many
threats against his life which are daily
coming 20 his knowledge, has decided 10
adopt the tactics of the Kaiser, by send
ing 10 jail anyone OF his subjects who

another who said that Peter was in
ferior TO any of the men at the royal
court must go TO jail for four years.
Wireless on Railroads.
Ravarian trains will soon be equipped
with wireless telegTaphy, like battle
ships or Atlantic liners. The ministry
of state railways has decided to install
. Marconigraphy OF some Of it's trains to
transmit signals and orders. The sys-

Germany is shocked by the newspa-
per. revelations as to how her colonial
empire is administered The governor
o. the Camerons. Herr Won Puttkamer.
has been exposed as a tyrant and loose
liver using his official power 10 crafty
his unholy passions.
This scandal has brought with il g
regular political ferment. The colonial
office denounces as traitors those who
have revealed official secrets; while the
newspapers deny that the revelations
came from within the department. Herr
Won Puttkamer, Of course. is being
shielded by the bureaucracy from a too
abrupt letting-down, and Will quietly
vacate his post when the storm has
blown over.
The Kaiser as a Matchmaker.
A pleasing story of the Kaiser as a
matchmaker is being retold aprOpo5 OF
the eightieth birthday OF General Won
Lucadou.
When Wilhelm II was crown prince
his aide-de-camp, Count Dietrich Won
HuIsen, was in love with General Won
I.ucadou's daughter. a pretty girl Of six

ing the spirits Of his aide. so what does
he do but call on General and Frau

otIet. lie announced that he had come
to congratulate them on the betrothal
of their daughter 20 Count Won Hulson

moved all opposition, and F'raulein Won
