PARIS, Aug. iz.-Information from q
source entitled to full credenoe says that at
the recent meeting Of the Russian and
German Emperors the Kaiser spoke openly
to the Gear against taking the reactionary
road, but advised him TO be firm against TIE
Socialists. The Gar before his meeting
with the Kaiser had gone so far toward
reaction as 20 send Price Vladimir Orloff
and Prince Alexis Obolensky, the two mod
erately liberal members of his household,
on a long leave abroad, at h instance OF
| the Grand Duke Nicholas. who had secured
almost the power Of q regency.
The court is now wondering whether
the moderate views Of the Kaiser and King
Edward will weaken the Grand Duke Nicho-
lass influence with the Gar and his policy
during he coming autumn.
News reaches Paris from a Trustworthy
Russian source that a plot was recently
discovered among the Poles to assassinate
the German Emperor. Letters n ciphers
seized by the Russian police at Warsaw
first gave a clue. The plot was traced into
Austrian Poland to some Of the revolution
aries in Cracow and Lemberg.
The international competition Of police
dogs has interested all Paris this week.
These new allies OF the law perform marvels
in proof Of their skill and intelligence. The
Belgian dogs won all honors, fully estab-
fishing their right to rank with the "
footed guardians Of public safety. They
have been trained to capture a thief and
hold him till the police arrive.
When a prisoner is being aiken to the
station house the dog drops behind ready
to attack would be resouers. He Is also
trained not to run from a shot but to keep
at his duty under fire. Athos, the prize
Belgian dog, gave a marvellous evidence Of
quickness. He rushed to attack an amateur
apache" When within a foot Of his VIC
tim the dogs master gay a signal Of recall,
and the dog turned instantly.
The Brussels dog Due was h smartest
in finding hidden objects. After allowing
him to smell an article it was hidden some
where in a great building, but the dog always
found it in an incredibly short time. Rio,
a Paris dog, performed marvellous feats in
high jumping; in fact. all the dogs showed
skill in leaping chasms and jumping walls.
proving their value in hunting criminals.

dogs, unuB tncIH d kTcdJci NdtuC Jhuhi

in mortal terror Of the animals.
There is nothing so exasperating to
Americans in Paris as the slow business
methods. especially in all the financial
and Government offices. Foreigners who
wish to cash money orders or checks at
the post Office wait an interminable time
while a series Of officials make many entries
in various ledgers and turn over many
rolls Of bills. So many people are await
ing their turn hat the impatient Ameri-
can usually leaves and returns several
times before accomplishing his mission.
An American woman who wanted yester-
day 10 cash a draft Of a New York bank
on the Societe Generate for only SIS went
first to a desk where the draft was stamped
n a number handed to her so that she
could receive her money in her turn. She
waited nearly two hours before she re-
oeived the small amount. This annoyance
has grown into a small national scandal,
and it would be we'll IL Americans in send
ing remittances to friends in France should
transmit them through institutions having
their own branches in Paris.
On tho unanimous demands OF tourists
and commercial travellers, when the law of
seventh day reposc went into effect all the
post Offices where there is also a telegraph
station remained open on Sunday. Those
waiting for important letters could get
them by going to the post Office. Now the
law extends to the post Office also, the Ad-
ministration having decided that a post
Office ia frequented on Sunday only by
thoee who are travelling for pleasure, and
that they can wait for their letters until
Monday.
Another grievance which Parisians have
against the postal service is that the new
American machines used for postmarkIng
envelopes spell the name of the month
English fashion. The long suffering Paris
ian is hardened to receiving letters long
after they are due, but he rebels against the
Government mark being written in English.
When the Eiffel Tower was constructed
artists objected to it for aesthetic reasons
and practical people on the ground that it
could be put to no use. For seventeen
years il has only served as an observatory
for casual sightseers who wish to get a birds
eye view OF Paris. II has also attracted
meagre crowds to its restaurant and the
atre. 1t has justified its existence since
wireless Geographic communication has
been established with Morocco. By this
means French officers receive messages
rom home by electric thai no human
power can stop or turn aside.
II Is known that the various bands Of
"Apaches' here have a remarkable o~rganiza-
ton, which includes Judges and juries, and
even ~executioners. Any member Of the
band suspected of being a traitor 10 speedily
tried. He is confronted by his accusers
and allowed to plead his case before a
jury and is then released or executed. 1t
would seem that this organization is better
equipped than the police force. which
openly admits that the outer boulevards
are unsafe and seem to be unable to rid
the Bots de Bologne Of countless tramps
and -Apaches" who are found there at
nightfall.
