Suffering From Attack of Bronchial
Catarrh.

Catarrh.
Berlin, Feb. 10. - Intense curiosity
is being displayed by the German
people concerning Sir Charles Har-
dinge's conference with Chancellor
Won Buelow Wednesday night. The
authorities, however, maintain the
strictest reticence except to state that
every subject was touched upon in
which the policy of both nations is
interested, and that the result of the
discussion was most satisfactory to
both sides.
The indisposition of the king, who
was suffering yesterday from mild at
tack of bronchial catarrh, is SO slight
that he was able to carry out the
greater part Of the pre-arranged pro-
gram without Inconvenience.
