GUARD DRUCE'S GRAVE
GREAT PRECAUTIONS IN THE
NOTED PORTLAND SUIT.

LONDON, December 24.-Extraordinary
precautions are being taken to prevent
tampering with the grave Of T. C. Druce,
which will be opened in the course of the
next few days to prove whether or not it
contains the body of Druce or a roll of
lead. A large force OF pa,icc. was sent to
HighSate cemetery this morning and took
up positions on all the approaches to the
grave. A special Gordon was drawn UP
around the vault. which is being rapidly
shut in with a high board fence.
This structure will be rooted in, so that
unauthorized persons will have no chance
of witnessing the exhumation. Only off,
cials and those directly concerned in the
litigation involving the question of the
identity of Druce with the Duke of Port
land will be permitted to see the opening
of the coffin.

tian w. Stengel. president Of the Feigen-
span brewery interests in Newark, ". j.,
died in the German Hospital here early

had been married to Mrs. Marie Louise
Feigenspan. the widow of the man who
once employed him. Mr.. Stengel was the
confidential assistant of Christian Feigen-
span, and shortly before the latter died.

BARLEY HELPS THE "DRYs."
Short Crop Seriously. Affecting tn,
$ Breweries.

CHICAGO. December 24.-"One thousand
saloons will have locked their doors and
gone out of business in this city by May
next" said Adam Ortseifen, president of
the McAvoy Brewing Company, during a
talk last night on the scarcity of barley,
which is seriously crippling the large
breweries and the malt houses, and may
mean probable raise in the price per
barrel Of beer within few weeks. Per-
haps'one-third of the breweries. the larg-
est ones in this city, do their own malt
ing. The smaller ones buy Of the malt
houses. Both breweries and maltsters for
several weeks have been bidding almost
to the point Of wiping out the margin of
profit in order to get the few carloads
of barley that arrive in this market each
day.
Beer is now selling at from $3.50 to 81
barrel, according to quality. The
quality depends upon many conditions,
but chiefly on the mailing expense, in
which barley figures as the chief factor.
I'VE are not making dollar under the
present conditions said Mr.. Ortseifen.
LAS a business man I can foresee only an
increase In the price. AS for the other
brewers. 1 do not see how they either can
avoid a raise.
'It is a fact we'll known to the trade
that hundreds Of the smaller saloons are
not making much If any money now, and
I predict that 1000 saloons will have
closed their doors and gone out Of busi-
ness by May next

SENATE READING CLERK.
Contest Causing No End Of Trouble
for Secretary Bennett.

That contest for a new reading clerk
for the Senate. which was begun about
two weeks ago and in which some seventy
aspirants have taken part, is causing no
end of trouble for Secretary Bennett CT the
Senate. Mr.. Bennett went to New York
last week, and the rumor around the Cap
itol was that he went to get a much
needed rest from the labor Of listening to
the sound of many voices reading the
Presidents message.
At first 1t was intended that Mr.. Bennett
select about four OF the applicants who
pleased him best and try them out before
the Senate, and that he then make his
final selection. The responsibility of such
a thing, however, would weigh too heav-
lily upon him. he fears. 50 he has asked
a committee of three senators who have
not indorsed anybody for the place to hear
the reading Of nine applicants he has
chosen.
These senator's will choose two or three,
who will 60 before the Senate, after
which that body will itself elect its new

imperial family, she cannot be forced to
testify In court. but her statement can
be taken by commission and read as evil
dence. Harden claims also to have a
trump card in reserve, which he will play
II he Is forced. What 1t is has not been
diyulged. Ese
While Princess Charlotte was living in
Bres,au, where her husband, Bernard.
hereditary prince of Saxe-Meiningen. was
commanding general of an army corps
with headquarters there. she knew Count
Cuno Won Moltke we'll. He was serving in
the cuirassiers then. She took great
dislike to him and spoke of him as 'dandi-
fed both in Breslau and in Berlin.
She often met the counts niece. Countess
Won Motke, who married Prof. Schwenin-
GER Bismarck's physician. The princess
often talked about Moltke to his niece and
nothing extremely severe. On the other
hand, her husband, Prince Bernard, al
ways had high opinion of Moltke.
Harden never learned directly from the
emperors sister her opinion of Moltke,
but was informed Of it by the latter's
niece after her marriage. Prof Schwenin-
ger and Harden are intimate friends, and
both are Bismarck worshipers."
Doors Still Closed.
Schweninger is ill in Munich, and .
member of the court started for that city
pected, of course, that Schweninger will
quote Bismarck as having expressed the
belief that both Moltke and Prince Philip
zu Eulenburg practiced abnormalisms.
Again today it seemed that Harden holds
the weaker hand in this dangerous game.
The trial is behind closed doors still,
but it can be stated positively that great
sensation was caused when DR.. Hirsch-
field, a specialist in the treatment of dec
adent tendencies arose and asked the
court to be permitted to make state
ment.
At the first trial Hirschfeld said that
Motke showed signs of being a man OF
perverse inclinations. Such testimony from
a source so learned did much to win the
verdict for Harden. Yesterday Hirschfeldr re-
canted and said his first opinion was erro"
neous; he had been led to give 1t by piac-
ing too much faith in the evidence OF
Frau Won Elbe, Moltke's divorced wife.
Harden Is Indignant.
Hearing Hirschfeld. Harden became In.
tensely indignant The public prosecutor
laughed at the turn affairs were taking.
1t was then that Harden turned on him
with his threat about last trump"
The court was reopened to the public at
the afternoon session after Frau Won Elbe
had been witness again.
She greatly modified some Of her testt-
mony Of the first trial She withdrew some
of her statements derogatory to Moltke's
character and gave to other statements
she had made an entirely different mean
ing.
Her physicians being called to the stand
testified that she suffered from neuras-
thenia, and it was then that DR.. Hirsch-
field withdrew his expert opinion.
Detectives swore that they knew noth-
ing positively against Moltke about any
abnormality.

captain, will be transferred to the re-
tired list Of the navy next Tuesday on ac-

IMPORTANT WITNESSES.
Two Give Damaging Testimony to
Youtsey Today.

GEORGETOWN, KY, December "a
Two important witnesses were put on the
stand today. These were N. P. McGlove
and ]. NJ Hardgrove. McGlove testified
that Youtsey after his arrest and while in
the Frankfort Jail, admitted to him that
he had filed off key to Powers private
office the day Goebel was killed and that
Powers and Capt. John Davis ought not
to have accepted pardon and left Frank
fort, as somebody would think them
guilty of the crime.
Hardg-ove stated he saw Youtsey
emerge from Powers private Office, di-
rectly after the shooting. hatless and
coatless. with a pistol in his hand. and
apparently very much excited. Hard
grove said he put the commonwealth in
possession Of these facts before Powers
third trial. but that he was not called to
testify as a witness.
