round the world trip should include the United States 1t may be put down as a moral certainty that the heir to the Ger man throne will do the same. It will be a matter of politics which the Kaiser may be depended upon not to neglect His royal highness will start in Novem- Der and will be gone for several months
 Field Marshall Lord Roberts will be re- ceived by his majesty, the Kaiser. to- morrow in special audience, to receive the formal notice of the accession to the British throne. After the formal recep- ton Lord Roberts will be received by the Kaiser and family.
 The great English soldier Is greatly ad- mired by the Kaiser, who has warm personal friendship for him.
 There has been a great deal of myste- rious spying on German military estab- lishments of late and the government is worried.
 Recently men undiscovered, but known to have been foreign spies, at night, en- deavored to penetrate the sentry lines of two isolated powder magazines in the neighborhood of Potsdam, Germany's Al | dershot.
 bombardier sentry was pacing the distance between the two magazines when three dusky figures emerged from the blackness of an orchard that skirted his beat, and a voice cried Halt! Who goes there?" and raised his rife.
 There was at once a flash and report and a bullet whizzed past the sentry s ear He promptly replied with his rife hut fIA oato hod Aot nr, the ground, and in the darkness he could no longer see where they were.
 The sentry gave the alarm, and cor poral with another bombardier helped him SCOUT the vicinity, but the assailants had no difficulty in concealing themselves from observation in the obscurity of the woods.
 As the corporal feared a renewal of the attack. he left both his bombardiers at the post where they remained together till the first glimmerings of sunrise were vis- ible in the sky. Then. assuming the danger to be past, the second bombardier withdrew
 | A quarter of an hour later three men once more suddenly loomed up through the dusk before the sentry's eyes. He | called upon them and then fired. The shot was returned, and a revolver bullet struck him in the forearm and forced him to drop his carbine.
 The other two members of the guard were alarmed by the firing and came run ming up. The mysterious trio, however, took to flight, and desperate efforts by the police and military authorities have since failed to throw light on the singular affair.
 | This Is one of a number of small cases. | pr. Berger. an Oriental traveller makes a remarkable statement on the alleged insecurity of British rule in Egypt. He asserts that in the case of an insurrec- ton in Egypt the natives would be armed with plenty of the most modern weapons, there being over 10000 English repeating rifles, with ammunition, buried In a cer- tain neighborhood despite the watchful- ness of the British cruisers. The British authorities, Dr. Berger declares, have made most strenuous efforts to locate the hidden spot, but no native has been found willing to betray the insurrectionist cause. He adds, facts have been con- | firmed to him by British officers. The Kaiser's latest activity Is in the di- | rection of the feminist movement which he is said to be following with the closest attention. He has expressed the opinion that new fields of activity ought to be opened up for women, and he Is in favor of removing all obstacles which stand in the way of women earning their daily bread. His majesty, however, is very doubtful on the subject of giving women the vote believing they are not qualified to participate in the political arena. | Despite the many calls on his attention the Kaiser does not relax watchful care he exercises over the aesthetic develop ment of his capital
 fto< ua intended fn In the Exchange quarter of the city a new 'Kaufhaus''-one of the great retail es- | tablishments which are now @ feature of Berlin-he has ordered that the design of the facade of the building be submitted to him. The architect and his employers are now anxiously awaiting the imperial verdict.
 Hypnotism Is being successfully used to restore to sanity Frau Won Schone- beck Weber, the notable figure of the Allenstein garrison tragedy. During her long drawn-out trial on a charge of com plicity in the murder of her first husband, Major von Schonebeck, by her lover | Captain Von Goben, she became de- mented.
 | She has been living in a private nurs- i ing home during the last month, and un- der the supervision of leading German nerve physician. Professor Buenburg, says she has been daily hypnotised. The result of the ''suggestion," to which she has been subjected Is remarkable, and the physicians state that after 12 months complete rest they have no doubt but that the formerly demented woman will be completely cured. Her present husband, Herr Weber, is well known author, to whom she was married in London. The German military authorities are considerably perturbed tat the statement that a suicide club is in existence among the soldiers of the Nuremberg garrison. Recently a private shot himself for ap- parently no reason at all His death has been followed by that of a lance-cor- poral.
 The second tragedy seemed as myste- rious as the first until among the dead mans effects letter was found stating that he and the previous suicide belonged to a club, each member of which was bound by an oath to die by his own hand. l rigorous search by the military au- thorities has failed to reveal the identity of the remaining members of this society. Whilst 40 years ago Germany and France were equal in population with 40 Oc0 GOO, official statistics now show that France has dwindled to 39.000,o 900 and Ger. many numbers 6,0o0,000.
