CHOLERA IN GERMAN CITY
Four Gases at Spandau Cause Alarm
in the Great Teutonic
Empire.

Berlin.-It is officially gazetted
that four cases of Asiatic cholera had
developed at Spandau. Precaution-
airy notices to the public were is
sued
The authorities isolated a woman
who had nursed her mother through
a fatal illness determined to be due
to cholera The public is warned
that the use of sO-called cholera
drops and tones is futile and urged
to Immediately summon physician
if the digestive organs are disturbed.
The cooperation of the people with
the health officers is asked.
According to the medical men it is
not necessary to depart from the or
binary habits of life except to avoid
vegetable salads as possible transmit
tiers of bacilli.
Far reaching measures are being
taken to prevent a spread of the dis
ease. The association for first aid
and the Red Cross society have pre-
pared for a possible epidemic by
large enrolment of physicians and
nurses and improvised ambulances.
Physicians have been assigned to duty
at all the railway stations along the
frontier so that they may give imme-
date attention to arrivals showing
symptoms of illness.

Three newsboys, Abraham Tinkhoff,

lads espied three huge carp topping
about one of the boys jumped into
the ditch and seized the largest fish
The carp. nearly as big as the boy
had the advantage Of being in its ma

water and mud, until the boys or
shore thought their companion would
surely be drowned. But at last the
fish grew so weak from its great eff

upon the bank, and there held it until

lugged their trophy home, put 1t or

THEkA|sER'SSPEECH
NOT MEANT TO SHOW LACK OF
ESTEEM FOR RIGHTS OF
THE PEOPLE.
ONLY PERSONAL CONVICTION
The Chancellor Will Defend His Maj
esty From What Is Called the
Evil of Misrepresentation. Gave
Expression to Same Ideas Before.

Berlin,-The semi-ofIical Nord-
deutsche Ailgemeine Zeitung explains
the governments view of the emper-
or's Koenigsberg speech, which has
been construed by a part Of the press
as declaration of dissolution and an
underestimation of the PEOPLE and
the peoples representatives. The
speech in which Emperor William in
timated his belief that he ruled by
divine right was not, it is set forth &.
an act of government, but the eX-
preston of the personal convictions
of the monarch. and as such was the
breath and spirit of his sense of duty,
resting upon religious grounds which
his majesty had repeatedly pro-
claimed and had made actual in his
conduct as ruler
The basis of the criticism of the
emperor was his affirmation that he
went his way without considering the
opinions of the day, says the Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Ieitung, which
adds
"He would be a bad king who took
current views as the chalk line for
his conduct. The imperial speaker
is declared to have put himself in OPP
position to the constitution. This
conclusion can be drawn only by
those who hold to the fiction that an
independent parliamentary system is
dependent upon calculating opinion
or the absolutism of the masses
whereof the constitution knows moth
ing"
The emperor, the paper adds, mem
toned the historical fact that the
kings of Prussia did not receive the
crown from parliament, and says that
the statement was not an expression
showing any lack of esteem of the
rights of the people or the decisions
of the people.
The chancellor, it says, knew how
far the emperor was removed from
the actual strife of political parties
and those who endeavor to interpret
the speech as a conviction of abso-
lutism artfully used their interpreta-
ton as fuel for an agitation.
The chancellor, the paper con-
cludes, will defend his majesty from
the evil of misrepresentation and will
continue to direct the business of
state in full agreement with the
crown and maintain all constitutional
| rights
