| Whatever may be the case in-the Bal | kans, it is probable that the immediate | future will see Germany. display in creased interest in events in the far east The question of greater intimacy between her and China has, l understand, recently been discussed here. and the first definite step toward it will very likely be the dispatch of a German military commis- sion to Pekin to assist in the reorganiza- ton of the Chinese army. Mention has also been made of the possibility of an understanding between Germany, the United States and China. At the present
 moment, however, the temperature of the relations between the two countries first
 named seems more likely to go down than up. The heads of all the great
 American fertilizer companies are now in
 Europe for the express purpose of secur-
 ing a modification of the potash monopoly law passed by the reichstag last session. That measure was aimed directly against the United States and annulled the con- tracts entered into by the American buy CTS to the amount of many millions of dollars.
 The German government declares it's inability to recede from the position 1t has taken up, but it is reported that should the law remain as it is the United States will probably treat 1t as
 
 applying its conventional tariff to German imports
 To check undue yelling and shrieking at the "sensatons' of Luna park, Berin's Coney Island the austere influence of the police is to be brought to bear The park is situated in the fashionable suburb of Grunewald, and the aristocratic owners |of villas in the neighborhood, including ex-C Colonial Secretary Dernburg, have bit terly complained against the .'demoniac" laughter that issued therefrom. Accord ingly, riders on the "switchback railway" are to be supervised by stern policemen with swords at their sides, who are to be stationed at the railway switchback, and their mere presence Is calculated to sup press any tendency to undue mirth or hysteria. Policemen are also to take oc- casional trips on the railway to overawe pa ssengers Thus the mailed fist Is to stretch forth over the pleasures of the masses.
 The 6-year-old Czarewitch has been making himself popular while staying with his parents at .Friedberg castle. near Bad -Nauheim. Walking out one day with his bodyguard, a gigantic Cossack officer, the small heir to all the Russas saw a farmer gathering apples in an orchard He went up to the farmer and offered to help him in his work. as he was man of advanced years. The old man delight edly accepted the offer and the Czare- witch became very busy. When the little prince was tired the old man begged to be allowed to offer him some of the best of the apples, which the Czarewitch took home in great glee.

BARNES STATEMENT
On the Position Of Roosevelt and New
York Republicans.

New York. Aug. 2S.-William Barnes
Jr.. Republican leader Of Albany. and
one Of the old Guard" who selected
Vice President Sherman for temporary
chairman of the state convention over
the head OF Theodore Roosevelt. came
IL New York today and gave out a
statement, in part as follows:
All citizens viii rejoice at the state
nent Of Mr.. Roosevelt that he will GO
TO the Saratoga convention. if Nassau
county will send him. and that there
will be no compromise on his part be
cause the people are entitled to know
where the Republican party stands on
all public matters.
When Mr.. Griscom interjected MI
Roosevelt's name as a candidate for thu
temporary craftsmanship without tn
members of the state committee know
ing where Mr. Roosevelt stood on the
issues now before the people in this stats
and after the Vice President had
been placed in nomination before
that committee. thereby forcing
the issue which it was not the
intention of the committee to create. he
simply threw firebrand in the Repuh.
lican situation entirely unwarranted. an
for what purpose il is not for me to say
So unwise was his action that President
Taft has been called upon to disclaim the
absurd charge that he was responsible
Tor the selection of Mr.. Sherman. @,
course ne was not responsible. nor was
he consulted
It is, therefore. highly sensible on the
part Of Mr.. Roosevelt, if he hopes to con
troll the policies Of the Republican party
IN this state. that he should 60 to the
state convention a delegate and there
thresh out what he thinks ought to be
the policy of the party with those WIN
