nv wALTEn DUNKIRK.

Berlin, July ll--That the Kaiser, like former Czar Nicholas of Russia, Is . firm believer in spiritualism and that his policies at least at times have largely been dictated by spirits is the amazing statement made by Maximil- Ian Harden. the famous editor of The zukunft whose revelations started the Prince Euienburg scandal.
 Harden. who Is absolutely fearless, and who has never retracted anything he has said, was interviewed the other day and 1t was then that he made the statement which now, since it has been published, has aroused such a tremen- dons sensation here that people talk of little else
 Speaking of the spiritistic atmos- phere of the Llebenberg Tafelrunde. of the numerous seances in which even the late Kaiser wilhelm took part. Har- den declares that these had very harmful influence upon the present Kaiser, who has always been inclined towards mysticism.
 For long time the Kaiser always consulted the spirits about matters of state and wore his watch in a piece of cloth which a spirit had left after a seance at Prince Eulenburg's house.
 So far no official notice has been ta- ken of Harden's astonishing statement but with the sensation 1t has stirred up 1t Is almost impossible to suppose the Kaiser could afford not to deny the al- legations made. No one, however. be- iieves that the daring editor will be arrested as it is known that he pos- sesses knowledge of certain affairs which if revealed would scandalize certain high percentages at court.

A few days ago a special commission of architects was sent to Cologne to examine the condition of the famous cathedral of that city which 1t was feared was crumbling. The commis- sion has now Issued a preliminary re- port which confirms the worst fears of the people of Cologne.
 There is. however. not the slightest evidence that the structure itself Is in any danger or that its foundations have given way. The Cathedral will stand for centuries to come but the beautiful works of sculpture with which 1t Is decorated. are crumbling into dust and probably cannot be saved although the citizens of Cologne are ready to spend millions on repairs and to pay fortune to anyone who can invent a process to harden the soft hrownstone.
