SUICIDE SEQUEL TO PACT.
Hungarian Merchants Death Due to
Long Time Agreement.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BUDAPEST, July 6.-Samuel Zeisler.
the manager of a large factory here, has
owing to an American duel arranged
twenty years ago.
When Zeisler was serving his time in
the army in the sos he quarreled with
Geza Vjlaky. his sergeant. and as the
army rules forbade an ordinary duel they
agreed to draw lots as to which OF them
should commit suicide within five years.
Zeisler drew the black lot, but soon
afterward the sergeant emigrated to
America and Zeisler failed to take his
life.
A few days ago Vjlaky met him on the
street with, What, are you alive still ?"
and insisted that he should keep his word
by committing suicide
Zeisler begged his old comrade to over
look the matter on the ground that he
was about to be married. He offered him
practically his entire fortune o., 500 as
ransom, but the sergeant said that he
had made fortune in the United States
and that he wanted the other mans life,
and not his money. He added that If
Zeisler did not kill himself within the
next thirty days he would shoot him him
self.
Zeisler then committed suicide with a
revolver. after writing a number Of let
tiers explaining the circumstances
The police are now searching for the
sergeant, and they say that If ne is cap
tured he can be punished with ten years

FRICTION OVER cooL1E LABOR.
Gen. Botha's Decision to Repatriate
Chinese Disturbs South Africa.

Special Cahlegram to The Star.
JOHANNESBURG, July 6.-The decision
of the government of Gen. Botha to re-
patriate the Chinese is everywhere here
regarded as a disaster for the colony.
Its import can hardly be overestimated,
but its effect will be quickly understood by
the British investors In the Rand whose
interests represent probably more than
$500, 600 600.
The mining houses are at their wits end
to know how to minimize the danger. 1t Is
understood that they have decided to take
Joint action, but in the face of the strength
and resolution of the Boer majority they
can have little to hope for.
Gen. Botha's statement that the coolies
can speedily be replaced by the natives
Is at variance with all evidence which has
been obtained upon this subject. Every
commission appointed. has declared that
the contrary is the fact.
Sir George Farrar, who Is leading the
opposition to the policy of Gen. Botha.
urges that the credit of the colony will be
the decision of the Botha government as
the result of a deal with the imperial gov
eminent to obtain a S25,OOO,OO0 loan. That
bait had been offered, he said. to obtain
repatriation of the Chinese, by which
means the government hoped to justify
the success of its anti-Chnese agitation
at the recent general elections.
He said that people would not invest
money on the strength of pious hopes and
anticipations that plenty OF labor would
be Forthcoming.
Chinese labor is finished Sir George
declared ut is finished, even though the
imperial government should attempt to
repair the disaster and reconsider its de-
cision; the Chinese themselves would
have to be reckoned WITH we'll as the
disillusioned investor"

Michael of Russia and bears the name Of
Countess Torby.
Morganatic Offspring.

AS children of morganatic marriage by
continental usage cannot succeed to the
title of their father, it will be curious to see
on what the Count of Meyrenburg bases his
claim to the throne of Luxembourg. He Will
probably have a strong backing from Ger
many, which would like to see a German
prince on the throne. and he may probably
count on a certain amount of Russian sup
port. This will not, however, help MN
much, unless perhaps it could be used TO
diminish the opposition in France 10 the
succession of a German prince. Time was
when the question of the succession OF Lux
emburg might have been considered as al
most certain to bring about an interna tional
war.
One potent reason why little in the way of
permanent results is to be expected Is the
failure to invite the representatives OF the
pope of Rome. AS factor for peace the
holy father is undoubtedly the most power
full in the world. OF course the theory Is
that only sovereigns representing temporal
possessions are to take part in the worlds
peace-making. but no peace can be lasting
which does not take into consideration the
great power possessed by the Catholic
Church.
No ruler living at this moment wishes to
provoke a war for wars own sake. But all
agree that certain questions can be sub
mitted only to the arbitrament of the sword
The conference of The Hague can say no
more and need say no less. Admirable
sentiments will be expressed in phrases OF
exaggerated emotion. but Europe will be
fortunate If some of these peace confer
ences do not end with long and bloody
war.

COLONIAL TRAINING COLLEGE.
Berlin officials Favor the New Inst1-

BERLIN, July 6.-Herr Dernberg recently
visited Hamburg in order to inspect the
Institute for Tropical Diseases, the Botani-
cal Museum, the Museum for Ethnology
and AnthropoloSy and other local institu-
lions of a similar character with view to
ascertainng whether the city possessed
sufficient facilities for the study of colonial
and tropical questions to Justify the foun-
dation of a colonial training college there.
AS the result of his visit the German CO.
the establishment of an institution of this
kind and the courses at the new college are
to be open to those who desire to engage
in private commercial or industrial enter
prise in the German colonies, as well as ID
government officials.
The situation of the city Of Hamburg and
the universal character of the trade OF the
port were considered to be peculiarly well
adapted to furnish the proper atmosphere
for a training ground of this KIND. Ihe
new institute will be modelled on the exist
ing technical colleges In this country ana
will have the advantage of the services or
the staff of distinguished political econo-
msts whom the educational authorities OF
Hamburg have attracted to the city.
Apart from the technical training which
the students will enjoy, the promoters OF
the scheme hold that the intercourse be-
tween the intending officials and young
business men will rebound to the ultimate
benefit of the German colonists The state

and if the results prove satisfactory the In
stitution will receive wider official recoGnl-
ton in the form of an imperial subsidy.

THE STORY OF JOHN ORTIZ.
Mystery of Austrian Archduke Johann
| Revived at Vienna by Book.

Special Cabfegram to The Star.
VIENNA. July 6.-The report Of the re-
appearance of the Austrian Archduke Jo-
ham is entirely discredited at the Austrian
court. This in reply to the positive state
ments in the French newspapers that after
disappearance of sixteen years John
Ortiz the former Austrian Archduke Ho-
ham Salvador of the Tuscan branch of
the Hapshurgs, is alive and we'll and at the
present moment in England. One story

great law firm of Kraus. Meyer & Stein Of
Chicago, which years ago handled impor-
tant business matters for many Of the
leading Austrians in the United States.
knew positively of the whereabouts OF
John Orth" in South America. but even
this Is denied by persons high in authority
in Vienna who ought to know.
It will be remembered that the archduke
quarreled with the Emperor Francis Jo-
seph and with his family in 1880, renowned
his rank. his claim to tne Austrian throne
and all of his military titles and morgan
atically married the Fraulein Mizzi Stuebel,
a well-known operate performer.
He fitted out a sailing ship and set out
for South America, accompanied by his
wife. AT the close Of 1880 the vessel was
reported lost with all Of her crew, but
rumor some months later said that John
Orth had escaped. Tales of his reappear-

have followed ever since. but have all been
discredited In Vienna.
Now. however. a wealthy South Ameri-
can gentleman, NJ. Eugenio Gazon, who Is
we'll known in Paris. has published a book
which is being widely circulated in Austria
entitled John Ortiz" In this book 1t Is
claimed that circumstantial evidence has
been produced to prove that the archduke
was alive as late as 1900. when he was
working on the estate of Senior Villa Rey
at Chaco. Paraguay. And incredible as It
may appear this book has been having a
wide circulation throughout Austria, and 1t
is believed by many Of the former friends
of the archduke.

they were accomplices in the murder. The
murdered mans father similarly called on
Pluharz to speak, but to these appeals, as
well as to the commands of the judge
Pluharz replied merely by utterng an

Counsel for the defense declared that the
symptoms of Pluharz were genuine and
said that had his client been an American
millionaire instead OF a poor gardener he
would have been able to retain specialists
as strong as those retained by the prosecu-
ton to prove this. The jury, however,
found Pluharz guilty of the deliberate
murder of Muhlberger and he was there
upon sentenced to be hanged.
Pluharz paid not the least attention TO
the verdict or the sentence and was taken
out of court still playing with the warder' $
buttons and giggling to himself. The mem
tai specialists who appeared for the state
say that they are certain that Pluharz was
shamming, but that the skill and OBJ
stinacy with which he plays the role Of
idiot is unprecedented.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
VIENNA. July GA six days murder
trial at Salisbury, which has just been con-
cluded with the verdict Of guilty, is re-
markable for the obstinate and consistent
stimulation of idiocy by the accused, a
gardener of the grand duke of Tuscany
named Pluharz, who claimed to be the nat
ural son of the Archduke Rainer.
To obtain money for the marriage with
the daughter of the innkeeper with whom
he lived Pluharz enticed a young official
Of the post office named Muhlberger to
his rooms in the inn, stunned him with a
hammer, strangled him with a cord and
concealed his body in a wardrobe He
afterward carried the body to a distant
field. where It was ultimately found.
He was disappointed at not finding the
keys to the post Office on the body and
gained nothing from the murder When
arrested few days after the finding of the
body Pluharz at first endeavored to throw
suspicious on the innkeeper's family and
then during the preliminary examination

Nor has the disintegration of the socialist
and republican parties in parliament been
due to Signor Giolitti's craftsmanship. but
rather to their own internal dissensions.
These dissensions among the enemies Of
the throne should have made the task OF
the ministry more easy and helped greatly
to restore confidence in constitutional gov
eminent. Nevertheless, whatever progress
has been made in this direction has UNI
doubtedly been due in large measure to
the king himself. The country will not soon
forget the unselish devotion he displayed at
Calabria and Vesuvius, nor is it blind to his
untiring industry in Its service. and his
sympathy with all of its aspirations as well
as sorrows. But his efforts have met with
little assistance from the government.
