FEAR KA|SERS
HEALTH IS
FAILING
FAMOUS THROAT DOCTOR
SUMMONED TO PALACE
Official Assurances That No
Cause for Alarm Exists Not
Entirely Satisfactory to the
German PopuIace.
(By Walter Dunkirk.)

MEtkh III the lSldIlu III nlknlt at a
time when his presence at home is of
great Importance in view of the COM
ing opening of the reichstag, has ere
ated considerable anxiety here, as 1t is
feared that the health of the emperor
is not at all as satisfactory as the of
fetal press makes 1t appear to be.
Since the Harden trial Emperor
William has been seen in public but
very little, and those who have seen
him agree that he looks pallid and
and that he frequently car
ries his hand to his throat, as he did
before he was forced to submit to an
operation for the removal of a growth
which threatened to deprive him of
his voice.
Even the kaiser's own physicians
admit that their patients throat is af-
fected. but declare that it is nothing
more than a slight catarrh People
here refuse to believe that, and as the
climate of England Is anything but
favorable to persons suffering with
catarrh. 1t is said that the kaiser goes
10 England because he refused to post
pone his trip, and that his Few
weeks" on the island of Wight are a
f%orerunner of a longer s%ojourn on the
island of Corfu or a Mediterranean
cruise.
The fact that the famous specialist
in throa diseases, Professor Fraenkel,
of the University Of Berlin, was hur-
riedly called to the imperial palace
about a week ago, Is cited to show
hat everything is not as well with the
kaiser as might be wished.
The German press in general is very
unfavorable I'm its upon the
recent financial panic in the United
states, and declares that the worst is
yet to come.

be that a currency reform taking
away from the national banks the
power to issue paper money and vest
ing hat power in the government
alone, is the only way out Of the diff
flculty and there are even those who
predict a revolution unless this is
done.
The papers described the American,
bank quagmire," and sharply con-
denim the reckless speculation OF
American financiers.
1t is to be the same old story when
the ~reichstaR opens-new objects OF
taxation must be found and Ormou
amounts must be raised as the ex-
penses of the government have greatly
increased. and the new taxes imposed
by the last reichstag have failed to
produce the expected revenue. This Is
especially true OF the tax on railroad
tickets which has proved a great dis
appointment. The railroad budget
alone shows a deficit of more than
forty million marks.
1t is almost certain that a heavy
tax will be put upon alcohol n
cigars. 1t is even considered to make
the production of alcohol a govern
ment monopoly which would give in
crease of government revenues of at
least seventy-five million marks a
year.
Although the supreme court Of the
German empire has decided that no
American dentist is to be allowed TO
practice his profession in Germany
unless he has passed the regular Ger
man examination for dentists after
attending a German dental college for
two years, the kaiser has taken no
steps to change his dentist, whose po-
sition for years has been filled by an
American. who does not fulfill the
conditions imposed by the court. Gu
riously enough. the American dentist
was called to the kaiser and spent
more than an hour chatting with him
on the very day the decision had been
rendered.
A rumor comes from st. Petersburg
that a party OF r~eactionaries at court
are trying to bring about a war with
Turkey. in the hope that victories
abroad might put an end to the unrest
al home and make the present regime
popular.
Whether This rumor be true or not.
IL is a fact that there is considerable
friction between the cars ambassa-
dor at -Constantinople n the Turk
ish government.
For weeks the Russian ambassador,
S%inowjen. has made certain proposals
concerning the Persian question to the
Turkish grand vizier, but no
has been paid him beyond the rather
undiplomatic reply given him the 9TH
er day. that Turkey was better in
formed as to what is going on in Per-
STA than Is Russia.
The car seems to think that the
friction il due TO a less important
cause. but the will of the "autocrat'
does not carry much weight in Rus
STA nowadays.

Tobolsk n Tiumen in siberia, TWEEN
