MEMOIRS OF BISMARCK
 MAY YET SEE HE LIGHT

Zurich, Switzerland, May 16.-The' last volume of Prince Mismarck's memoirs, suppressed by Emperor William, may yet see the light. A copy of the manu- script is in, the hands of an attorney here and negotiations with French and English publishers are pending. The owp- CT of the manuscript wants 100000 francs cash ($2O, ,000) besides unusually high royalties.
 The book rights of Bismarck's memoirs all of them-originally belonged to the famous publishing house of Gotta. When the Kaiser forbade publication of the last volume and the Cottas offered to submit their case to the courts, Kaiser Wilhelm sent for the head of the house and asked him as a personal favor to suppress the book This request was granted.
 The manuscript now in this city is a transcript of the original entrusted to the Cottas by Prince Bismarck himself. Whether the original has been destroyed by the Kaiser's request is uncertain.

Henry, who lent her house in Porchester Gate for the afternoon.
 Mrs Henry is a clever American, who has acquired an interest in British politics because her husband is the liberal member for Wellington. She is the daughter or the late Leonard Lewisohn of New York and among other charitable works in which she is actively interested is the hospital or home which she has built with in the precincts of the park of her home near Henley.

 Every man or woman within reachable distance of MT. Hammerstein, who thought he or she had a grand opera voice, pursued the impressaro at every turn and corner of his European tour
 Without a valet or a secretary, MT. Hammerstein has been obliged to give personal attention to all the aspirants. His brisk methods of doing businesss and his instant decision have made him not only the marvel of European managers, but in several instances have brought him within the danger zone of pspsonal vio- lence at the hands of disappointed as- pirants
 Yes" he said to the American corre- spondent, T have had many amusing ex periences in Europe-the most amusing, as l think upon it now, at a safe dis tance, happened in Berlin.
 A big, strapping Dutch girl asked me to hear her voice. The hearing took place in the corridors of one of the hotels. She had a magnificent voice. resonant and technically fine, but the woman herself lacked personal magnetism and dramatic sense.

Simply this: 'I see everybody I wish to see and make up my mind instantly whether l wish to engage them or not then announce my decision. 1 don't need a sec retary, because I don't answer any let ters but those that interest me A tre- mendous amount of time is lost in what may be termed jolying people along.

MARTIAL LAW IN FORCE

London, May 16.-Humanitarian radicals are indignant with the government for it's .supneness and timdity in it's dealings with the scandalous abuses which are be- ing perpetrated against the native Zulu population by the British colony at Natal. They are almost as bad as the Congo.
 Two years ago martial law, which, strictly speaking, is not recognized by the British constitution was proclaimed in Zululand as an instrument of repression against the colored population, and it has not only remained in force ever since, but it is being administered with a se- verity and contempt for legality ab- solutely without precedent
 Shooting, hanging, flogging and impris- onment have been going on wholesale, and every attempt of the natives to get redress has been treated contemptuously by the government of Natal.
 The British government made feeble attempt to induce Natal to abolish mar tial law, but met with contemptuous re- buff, and has since done nothing. How necessary Is some decisive action may be judged from the fact that under mar tal law 20 natives were executed, 1000 fogged and 22,0O0 cast into jail.
