THE HAGUE. June 4.-Prince Eber
vein of Bentholm-Steinfurt, who some
time ago forfeited his rights of in
heritance and his position in the Ger
man army by marrying the daughter of
a burgomaster, is bankrupt. After the
wedding he rented a castle near The
Hague and sought recognition by his
aunt, the queen dowager of the Neither

helnina nor the aristocracy would
notice him. His failure to pay rent for
the castle has led 10 its seizure by
bailiffs, whose presence, however. did
not disconcert the prince and princess
They merrily played tennis. ignoring

The pair have gone to Germany, leaving

GOVERNMENT UNEASY
President and Cabinet Give Much At
tention to Japanese Matters

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The presi-
dent and the members of his cabinet
are giving a great deal Of personal at
tention to matters affecting the rela-
tions between the United States and
Japan. 1t is realized that the situation
has elements of danger to the peace OF
both nations and must be handled with
extreme delicacy.
If clash is to be avoided It will re-
quire forbearance on the part Of both
governments. The allegations by Con-
sui Matsubara that San Francisco's
"hoodlums" repeatedly mobbed Jap
anese has been accepted in Japan as
evidence of race hatred. Governor Gil
lett's statement to Secretary Root that
the disturbances were incidental to the
strike does not seem to have had any
weight with the Japanese, Members
of the diplomatic corps in Washington
do not hesitate to say that the next
war this country has will be with
Japan.
Secretary Cortelyou has detailed to
the Bering sea all the revenue cutters
that can be spared from home duty.
The patrol fleet in those waters is now
the largest this government ever had
there. The sealing season will open
soon and there will be likelihood of a
repetition of last years row with
poachers. in which several Japanese
were killed. Every effort will be made
to prevent clash. Secretary Straus Of
the department of commerce and labor
has authorized Commissioners General
Sargent to employ many additional
special agents may be needed to
enforce the law against Japanese
coolies.

GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
Dislike ITALY's PLAN
Triple Alliance Referred To
in Connection With the
Hague Conference
POWERS WANT UNITY
Won Bulow Complains That
Italy Does Not Stand
With Her Allies
POWERS WANT UNITY

ROME, June 4.-The situation of
Italy at the second Hague conference
and especially her attitude in connec-
ton with the limitation of armament
has d peculiar Importance because no
other country is so directly affected by
the struggle for supremacy which is
going on among the leading European
powers.
Germany and Austria exact the sup
port of Italy because she is their ally
under the triple alliance, England be-
cause or the affinity of, heir views and
their traditional friendship and France
because of the commercial and COM
merce interests binding them.
The people and government here have
always followed with interest and ap-
proval every move tending to abolish
or at least render more difficult the
international conflicts. The Italian
minister of foreign affairs, Signor Tit
toni, was strongly Influenced by his
service as Italian ambassador at Lon
don. When he was recalled to become
minister of foreign affairs he an
nounced to the chamber of deputies
that as foreign minister he adhered 10
the humanitarian British ideas which
as embassador he had previously ap-
proved in London. He added:
The government will give it's repre-
sentatives to The Hague the mission to
support and second the English initia-
tive"
This declaration awakened consider
able apprehension at Berlin, where 1t
was pointed out that Italy, although a
member Of the triple alliance, was pur-
suing a policy which the other mem
bers of the triple alliance, Germany
and Austria, opposed.
The situation suddenly changed at a
meeting between Signor Tittoni and the
German chancellor, Prince Won Bulow,
at Rappallo. From what has leaked
out 1t seems that Prince Won Bulow
although acknowledging that the sit
uation of Italy was delicate and diff
cult and that Signor Tittoni was able
in stirring the shoals, complained that
the Italian government, whenever a
question of international character
arose. did not think it necessary to
show front with the other members Of
the triple alliance.

cial attorney for California to conduct

tion he gave valuable service to the

city Judge Schell entered into part
nership with John j. Scrfvner, which
