ENGLISH LAD WILL
COME TO AMERICA
Young AriStocrat Decides to
Leave British Shores.

London, Dec. 3O.-Lord Francis Archi-
bald Kennead Douglas, of Harwick, a
lad of sixteen, who is now attending a
fashionable English boys school at Har-
row. expects shortly to go to America,
where he will enter an ordinary high
school and lead the turbulent life of
Americas democratic youth. Lord Doug
las is facing the departure with con-
siderable trepidation, and has been
spending the Yuletide holidays gather
ing voluminous information as TO what
he will be up against" but in the light
of his ancestry his friends here antici-
pate he will enjoy the experience.
The Douglas family is one of the old
est and most famous in Scotland. Lord
Douglass father is the premier peer of
that realm, being the ninth Marquis of
Queensberry. His grandfather wrote the
rules Of pugilism, and his grandson is
proud of it. The Marquis of Queens
berry, who is now returning to America
to take a permanent residence there, has
persuaded the boy to join him in Chi
cago next spring. The marquis said:
'I didn't urge him, but let him decide.
I am glad, however. he is coming, as
it vol keep him from becoming snob.
People here are already beginning to
make him understand who he is, and
a couple of years more might spoil him.
1 hope he will eventually decide to do
what I intend to do, renounce the title
and become an American citizen, but 1
shall not urge, for when I die he be-
comes a marquis anyway. But titles
are all buncombe, and America has given
me squarer deal than I ever got here;
so want to get the entire family there
as soon as possible"

YANDALS DESPOIL
ROYAL SBPULCHRE
ReVOlutiOniSts Desecrate the
Tomb of Prince.

Vienna, Dec. 3O-From the fresh facts
which are coming to light concerning the
dissertation of the tomb of Prince Alex
ander Karageorgvich in Vienna 1t is
evident the grim deed was the work OF
Servian revolutionaries who knew OF
King Peters intention to remove next
year his parents remains to a tomb he
has prepared in Servia.
Apparently the revolutionists wished.
by stealing the princes head, to revenge
themselves upon the King and royal
family. During the early hours of the
morning, ghoulS entered the tomb by the
grating of the vault. which lies in the
remote graveyard of st. Marx, outside
Vienna. and wrenched open the lid of
the coffin containing the remains of the
prince. His wife's coffin, lying by the
side of the prince, was not touched.
A further proof that revenge was the
motive is afforded by the fact that they
did not steal the valuable jewels which
were buried with the prince, but con-
tented themselves with the removal of
the head of the corpse. Their escape
must have been made hurriedly, because
the princes jawbone was Shaken loose,
being found afterward on the graveyard
path.

PANIC FROM SPIES
IN GERMAN ARMY
Death Penalty May Be In
f1icted for Offense.
Special Cable to The Washington Herald.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Berlin, Dec. 3O-The latest espionage
scare has resulted in high officials Sc
riously considering drastic methods to
combat the work of spies, and in order
to terrorize any German subject who
may contemplate treason against his
fatherland special legislation is likely to
be introduced empowering the infection
OF extremely heavy punishment.
In fact, so serious do the authorities
regard the epidemic OF spying that a
motion will be introduced in the first
session of the new Reichstag for altera-
ton of paragraph 80 of the espionage
and treason law. which it is proposed
shall run as follows:
I'm cases of violation of this law by
any subject of the German Empire, and
in cases where the offense is of a par
ticularly grave nature, the death penalty
shall be inflicted"

CROWN PRINCE NOW
CHANCELLOR'S FOE
lingo Creates Rupture Be-
tween the Two.

Berlin, Dec. 3O.-It is now openly as
serted here that certain members of the
Rechstag, led by the well-known jingo,
Herr Elard Won Oldenburg, have for a
long time systematically poisoned the
young German crown princes mind
against the chancellor of the empire
until the crown prince was at last firmly
conk inced that it was his duty as pa
triOt to demonstrate in the Reichstag
against the head of the government and,
if possible, bring about his downfall
Three years ago, so goes the story, the
crown prince was dissatisfied with Prince
Buelow and was advised to consult Herr
Won Oldenburg on the situation. This
was done, with the result that the crown
prince thereafter treated the then chan
cellor with marked frigidity.
few days before the recent demon
stration the crown prince spent several
days hunting with Herr Won Oldenburg,
who. along vita his wife, dined with the
crown prince in the Villa Dippe at Dan
zig, forty-eignt hours before the demon
stration. Herr Won OIdenburg denies that
he had anything to do with the crown
princes action, but it does not matter
much whether he had or not What Is
interesting is the fact that in Germany
crown prince is almost inevitably
driven into opposition either against the
rCigning father or against the latter's
CHEZ executive and grand vizier, the
chancellor

FRANCE TO BE POWERFUL
IF SHE STAYS REPUBLICAN
Tendency Toward Imperialism Must Be Quenched if
Nation Is to Grow.

engaged her in very risky undertakings.
History tells us how Louis XIV. not salts
fed with his absolute power, had per-
sonal foreign policy which very often
was opposed to that of his official gov
eminent, and We know how disastrous
were the effects of this. Much more
recently we have reason to remember
with sorrow and regret the events or
1870. which proved how fatal 1t is TO
nation to give a single individual the
power to lead it into disaster. The
strongest of all reasons which led up to
the birth of French republic, and which
makes the people remain loyal to 1t to-
day, is the confident belief that we are
masters of our own destines.-
Therefore. il has surprised me. and
good many French people with me, to
have discovered how a number of men
who are neither Of royal nor imperial
blood have mysteriously decided the
course of our foreign politics and re-
peatedly led us to the brink of war to
satisfy their own individual ambitions.
The revelation of the French-Spanish
treaty was decisive on this point. That
in France a minister, informing only two
or three high official personages, has been
able. in the name of the country, and
in face of the absolute certainty Of con-
tinued disorders in Morocco. to under
take the conquest a deux of a part OF
Africa and the people of France hear
nothing of this until seven years later.
after this mysterious engagement has
twice come near setting all Europe afame,
is surprising. The personal policy Of
Louis XIV. apart from that of his govern
ment. was called lie secret du roi," and
now 1t looks to me as If we were to have
a secret du roi'' in the French republic.
The "Secret du ROi."
You ask me what I think of our pros
poets during the coming year and my
answer to this is: The French republic
is stronger and more powerful than ever,
We are far better able to take care Of our
national interests than at any time dur
ing the last thirty years, and the only
power which we are likely to get into
conflict with, Germany. knows this and
will hesitate long before challenging US
to a fight, but If We are to have a
secret du rolf ambitious politicians
are to be sole masters OF our foreign
politics. then nobody can tell what may
happen. and I hope the people OF France
will realize this while the year we are
about to enter is still young. The peO-
pie OF France want peace and the des-
TIMES of France are safe in the hands OF
her own people. With the nation govern
ing its own affairs political prospects for
1872 are exceedingly bright"

NEW SYMPOSIUM ON HUMOR
INTERESTING TO PARISIANS
Bernard Shaw, Jerome K Jerome, and Others Join in
Discussion
--BAA

Paris, Dec. Ca writer in La Revue.
Maurice Dekobra, has been inviting rep
resentative humorists in various coun-
| tries to define 'humor," and publishes
the results Of his inquiry in the current
number of that periodical Many of his
correspondents declare the task TO be an
impossible one, while others bring much
learning and ingenuity TO bear on the
required definition.
Eight well-known English writer's con-
tribute their ideas on the subject G. B.
Shaw. whose own humOr. NJ. Dekobra
says, is saturated with ferocious irony"
tersely dismsses the question in these
words: ''IIumOr cannot be defined. 1t is
a primary substance which makes us
laugh You might as well try to prove
a dogma"
An "IdIe Fellow" Idea.
Jerome X. Jerome writes: II do not
think humor can be explained. I would
define it as that which strikes US by
its drollery"
This. NJ. Dekobra remarks. is evidently
the Idle fellow"
Owen Seaman, editor OF Punch, takes
the matter much more seriously, and de-
votes two and a half pages OF print TO
his conceptions of humor. pointing out
that it depends largely on contrast, in
congruity, and 4 subjective sense of su-
periority. In America one of its leading
characteristics is exaggeration, while in
England it finds expression in implca-
tons (sous-entendus), equivalent TO the
reserve strength of an athlete. 1t en-
braces irony n the largest sense, and
the art of delicate suggestion.
The pun, Mr.. Seaman reminds us, is
now out Of fashion in England, but
humorously pedantic effects are often OBJ
tanned by the employment of literally
translated French words or words Of
Greek and Latin origin. An English
