him the existence of this occult government
behind the official government, this round
table, at which the affairs of state were
settled by group of courtiers. 1t is the
existence of just this state of affairs that
Herr Harden has been denouncing for
months past in the Zukunft. Up to even
this year the references were none too
chaste. but finally he made a series of
charges affecting the morality and the
honor of the military governor Of Berlin,
Gen. Count Won Moltke.
These charges were too clear for there to
be a possibility of a mistake. Count Won
Monke at once sent his seconds to Herr
Harden. but the latter declined to fight
duel, pointing out that he had nothing per-
sonal against the military governor of Ber-
lin and that If he received a bullet through
his body it would neither prove nor dis
prove the charges made in his publications.
The matter became such a public scandal
that the crown prince finally brought it to
the attention of the kaiser. The later or
dered inquiries to be made, with the result
that Gen. Count Won Moltke has been re-
neVed of his command as military governor
or Berlin, and the beginning of the end of
the reign Of Zu Eulenburg family is also
at hand. 1t is true that Gen. Won Moltke
has brought an action for criminal libel
against Herr Harden and the matter will
be fought out in the open courts, but 1t is
altogether unlikely that verdict against
Won Moltke will ever restore these men to
the royal favor.

THE WHOLESALE GRoCERS
Rights of Shippers and Common Car
riers Discussed at BANQUET.

CHICAGO, June 29.-Federal supremacy
In all judicial matters affecting rights OF
shippers and common carriers was strong
ly advocated last night by Levy Mayer at
the banquet of the National Wholesale
Grocers Association.
What I would like to see," he said, "is
the wiping out of these imaginary boun-
daries called state lines, SO far as the con-
troll Of shipments over the common car
riers is concerned. There are now in this
country something like 100000 freight
cars, owned by 1000 railroads and handling
1,O90OOO,O0O shipments each year, each hav-
ing its separate bill of lading.
In the forty-five states and the ter
ritories through which these pass there are
13S federal judges. PA judges of the high
est state courts and more than 1000 judges
Of the lower courts Of record, who daily
are making conflicting railroad decisions,
depending upon inconsistent local and
state laws. The situation almost terriies,
especially when we take into consideration
the possible legislation in the separate leg.
islatures and Congress.
II deny that 1t is a question of centraliza-
ton of government or of that poetic fiction,
state rights. In trade and commerce these
lines are arbitrary, imaginary and should
not exist. They must be wiped out or COM
plications will arise worse than the plotting
out Of mere pet theory which has no
place In the trade and commerce Of the
nation" .,
He described the law recently passed by
Congress, according to which the carrier
receiving the property becomes liable for
this initial carrier in turn may recover
from the carrier on whose line the damage
occurred. He declared the consttutionality
OF this act to be of utmost Importance and
by examples of conflicting laws showed
the clarifying effect it would have on the
present situation.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
LONDON, June 29-Former Justice Nor
gan J. O'Brien Of New York, who is AZ tho
savoy preparatory to a trip TO Carlsbad
In speaking of his efforts TO bring about
peace in the warning factions of the New
York democracy, said to a CORRESPONDENT
OF The Star today:
Feace conferences generally induce war
Inc last peace conference at The Hague
was soon followd by one of tho most Tor
rlnc struggles that mankind has known.
When Andrew Carnegie Instituted the peace
conference i'm New York the delegates came
near breaking out in war in trying to de-
Hhe what peace meant. But | am more
sanguine OF the efforts at Cancellation which
are now in progress between the various
parties of the New York democracy
There are three very strong clements
al war with each other and the efforts to
ma some common ground on which all
three could meet have somewhat of the
elements OF Diogenes search for an honest
man. But l think that progress has been
niade. feel that matters nre in better
shape toward reconciliation and adjust
ment than they were some months ago
sun when three strong wiled and power
ful factions disagree reconciliation is a diff
ncult task. My interest has been purely
that of desire to see democracy present
united front to republicanism.
Should Unite on One Issue.
1.-THE democracy, to my mind should
unite upon one issue, tariff reform In
other words, We should get back to Cleve-
lands program. which tariff reform,
and l believe that in this We would have
the people and public sentiment with us.
ITO my mind the evils of trusts have
simply beenbrought by unfair tariffs With
out these protecting tariffs the giant trusts
could not have sprung into existence and
obtained their hold upon the industries
of the country with the incidental evils OF
unjust rebates. Therefore adjust the tariff,
make 1t equitable and you naturally curb
the trust in a rational and safe manner.
There may be other issues wherein the
democracy could take a stand, but personal
ly tariff revision is the one to my mind which
is paramount, the one which will appeal
to the people, the one they understand.
A united democracy is what / wish to see
and democracy with a platform with tariff
revision"

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LISBON, June Unpopular discomfort
with the government and the king is
acute. Every municipal council in the
country is preparing to send messages
of protest to the king and demand re-
forms at the hands of the parliament and
cabinet.
The newspapers are urging the people
to refuse to pay the taxes which, in the
popular opinion, are being unlawfully
levied since they have not been approved
by parliament.
Three times recently has the queen been
the object of popular demonstrations of
disapproval The king rarely leaves his
palace and has ceased to attend the bull
fights. knowing that his appearance in
public would be greeted with Kisses from
his subjects.
The government is still obstinate Edu-
cation is at a Standstill, and a popular
agitation is being conducted among the
students which gives promise of produc-
ing almost, if not quite, anarchy at no
distant date.

WOULD INVITE ATTACK
PROPOSED CoALING STATION ON
KIsKA ISLAND.
Difficult to Defend Such an Outpost in
Case of War With an Eastern
Nation.

For many months the Navy Department
has been planning to establish great coal
ing station and naval base at kiska Island,
In the Aleutian chain, which extends into
the Pacific ocean southwest of Alaska. 1t
is learned now that the project has been
abandoned, due, 1t is said, TO the difficulty
of defending such station in the event of
war with Japan.
The kiska Island project was proposed
by the general board of the navy in 1903,
but did not become publicly known for
some time. In the summer of 1904 a naval
expedition was sent to the Aleutian Islands
and with the assistance of two vessels OF
the coast and geodetic survey, soundings
were made of the good natural harbor of
kiska, storehouse for tools was estab-
!lshed on shore. a careful estimate Of cost
Tor the coaling station was made and other
Investigations were carried on by the Of
ncers in charge, all Of which were en-
podled IN most favorable report to the
department In Washington.
View of the General Board,
The officers of the general board were as
appeared at the time, greatly impressed
with the proposition to establish on the is
land coaling station having a capacity
OF at least 10000 tons of coal, with COM
plete modern facilities for coalng ships of
W.. i>ishd is ABOUT JoO miles west of
Dutch Harbor, and although popularity re-
sarueu as far-northern point, is only a
snort distance north of the regular track of
merchant vessels plying between ports on
the northern Pacific coast and Yokohama.
ne location was considered as Offering
valuable strategic qualities from a naval
standpoint, and it was thought that in case
VI war involving the far-eastern posses-
SONS or the United States, the Kiska sta
tion would prove a valuable outpost for
vessels of the American navy
When Congress last winter largely in
creased the annual appropriation for the
navy coal and coaling stations, il was
understood that a generous share of the
FUNDS would be used for pushing the work
OF construction at kiska: and 1t was even
suggested that the station would be sup
piled with wireless telegraphy facilities
which could be used in connection with tho
system already installed in Alaska and in
progress of extension
Opinion Has Changed.
1t now appears that the opinion of men,
bers of the general board has changed, and
no secret Is made Of the fact that the
kiska Island coaling-station project has
been abandoned.
Although officers of the department will
not discuss the strategy problems involved
IN the kiska site, it is believed that the
problem of rendering the station defensible
IN time of war was one of the considera-
tons which led to change of front in re-
gard to this project. The island is remote
from every other fortified station of the
army or navy, and it would in case of a
far-eastern war, be the object of prompt
be a matter Of the utmost necessity as its
possession by the enemy would afford him
valuable base from which to conduct an
attack on the Pacific coast cities.
