GERMAN EDITOR ANSWERS.
Admits He Was Asked TO Fight Duel
with Count.

Berlin, June 21.-In regard 10 the dis
closures regarding the court scandal by
Herr Harden, editor of the zukunft to-
DAYS issue of that paper confirms the
story that Herr Harden was challenged
by Count Kuno Won Moltke, and that the
editor refused to accept IT. as a duel
would debar him afterward from reveal
ing the true state of affairs. The con-
firmation is Of some Importance on aC-
count OF the statement that Count Won
Moltke would not dare to lower his dig
nifty by fighting a duel with plain cit
izen.
Harden further states that he has been
approached by relatives of Count Won
Moltke with the view TO dropping the
disclosures.

Correspondence Of The Washington Herald
London, June lS.-The native East In
dian newspaper Bande Mataram, many
copies Of which have been circulated
throughout England. gives prominence to
the picture Of "DeseCrated Goddess,
which has now become famous through
out King Edwards Indian Empire. and
which was used with effect, TO incite the
HindOos TO attack the Mohammedans
and. incidentally, to recon against Eng
land.
The newspaper describes the picture as
"the wreck of the image Of Durga at Ja-
malpur." II claims to represent a group
Of Hindoo idols broken in riot by Mo
hammedans. This picture has been pa
raded in professions In all parts Of India,
and excited Hindoo orators have been
pointing to it as a reason for breaking
the heads Of every one who is not Of their
faith. be he European or Indian.
The images in question are merely
roughly made mud figures. decked in tin
sci. which the Hindoos carry in process
sion at their festivals and throw away
afterward. In this particular case the

SULTAN IN DILEMMA

LOYAL TRIBES ARE WAvERING
MuIai-eI-Maad, Viceroy of Maria

Campaign to "Save Country"

Taugier, June 22-The rumOrs that
Mulai-el-Hafid. the viceroy Of MaTrakesh.
and half-brother Of the Sultan. has taken
up arms. are quite false. he has not
risen against the authority Of Abd-el-
Aziz. he has even maintained reasonable
order in the southern capital
But It is significant that d message has
been sent 10 the heads Of some Of the
most important clans In the south sum
moning them TO meet as soon as harvest
operations are over and 10 decide upon a
plan OF campaign Ito save the country
from the intdel" If this movement as
sumes the proportions that are expected
Mulai-el-Hafd may find himself forced
20 take a place at the head OF II.
The Sultan knows all about these de-
velopments. and is making a strenuous ef-
fort 20 leave Fez. He has applied 20 the
French government for a loan in order
that he may pay his way. and move at
least as far as Rabat. His waZeers, are
reasons that can only be surmsed, are
doing their best to persuade him to stay
where he is.
Some say they are IN league with the
southern malcOnteuts. Unless a loan is
forthcoming 1t will be impossible for the
Sultan TO move. because he can neither
pay hts soldiers nor bribe the powerful
tribes, through whose territory he must
pass, to allow him free passage. If his
wazeers prevail. and he stays where hC
| is. the great meeting Of the tribes. which
| is timed to take place about the first weei

and the situation will be perhaps the
most serious that has arisen in recent

Berlin, June 22-The German Emperor

is Herr Erler, a South German artist Of
distinction.
His majesty was inspecting the New
Kurhaus at Wiesbaden. when his atten-

painted on the interior walls Of the build

Paris, June 1.-TWO young burglars in
Paris had a ghastly experience lately and
a narrow escape from being held for a
crime that they did not commit They
were both new 10 the house-breaking

years. butchers apprentices, out Of work

Apache gangs now terrorlzing Paris,
which led them TO turn naturally to crime
as a means of getting on their feet.
They chose as the scene Of their first

/ their way into the house at night after
the lights had been put out, but as they

twenty years. This seems hardly
