GERMANY FEARS
TO AROUSE CZAR
Disapproval of Russian Ulti-
matum Not Censured.


Berlin, June 16-Conditions in the Bal
kans have been exceedingly interesting,
politically, since Russia sent her now IA
NOUS note, which had every appearance
of being an ultimatum to the Turkish
government, warning it to keep its hands
OF the little kingdom of Montenegro.
The sympathy of Germany, both the
government and the people, was ,abso-
lutely with the Turks, fact which. per-
haps,, more than anything else. helped
to make the Cars government recognize
that it had committed blunder. And
still Germany did not openly express its
disapproval of the note.
The government does not want to lose
at once the results of the famous Pots
dam agreement, which have not yet ma
terialized by an open breach with Russia,
though it is certain the chancellor would
have to resist very strong pressure from
people here IL he failed to use every
means of trying TO prevent Russia from
browbeating Turkey in favor of the
Balkan Slavs.

KINGS INSANITY
GROWING WORSE
Otto of Bavaria Losing ALI
Control of Brain.

Berlin, June 1I-Though physically as
robust as ever, the mental condition OF
the unhappy King Otto of Bavaria,
whose twenty-fifth anniversary as King
occurs this month, is declared to be
growing worse.
Excluded from the outside world in his
castle of Fursteinreid, the Kings only
visitors are the court doctors, who visit
him at intervals, in order to report to the
Regent and government. No one else
enters the monarch's presence. even his
own mother is prevented from seeing
him, as any communication from the out
side maddens him.
He spends hours daily in dreadful
melancholy, his eyes fixed on the floor,
and very seldom uttering a word. On one
recent and rare occasion he displayed IN
telligence, and appeared to be searching.
for something.
When a keeper inquired the cause, the
King replied slowly and impressively, II
am looking for the past" Then he re-
lapsed into his customary dependency.
Formerly some show Of court etiquette
was observed, but the Kings indifference
to all his surroundings rendered this a
CHASTITY farce, and 1t was abandoned.

Quite large proportion of Prof Burch-

PRINCE OBJECTS TO
LIFE In The ARMY
Command of Black Hussars
Has No Attraction. +

Berlin, June 17.-In spite Of all pre-
cautions, it has leaked out that the
crown prince is still complaining against
the imperial edict of his father which
banishes him from Berlin to Danzig
where he is to take command of the
famour BLACK Hussars.''
1t is now said that neither the crown
prince nor his young wife, who are an
unusually well mated couple, have the
slightest objection to leaving the Berlin
court, where the Empress objects to
nearly everything that her daughter-in-
law does, but the crown prince objects
TO being made regimental commander,
as he hates all military routine, and
when he returned from his far Eastern
trip he told the Kaiser so in very plain
words.
This stand has made the future Kaiser
even more popular than ever among the
masses of the people, who loathe any
thing connected with the army, and who
cheer him as no member Of the Kaiser's
family has ever been cheered, whenever
he walks through the streets of the city.

CZAR'S PROTECTOR
MAY Be RECALLED
Durnoyo Has Friends in Rus
sia Despite Exile.

st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE man to
whom the Czar of Russia owes If not
his life, at least his crown, is Durnovo,
former Russian minister of the interior,
who is living quietly in Berlin, virtually
banished from his own country to satisfy
Stolypin,. who feared his presence at
home. :
Nobody there believes that Durnovo's
residence in Berlin will last very long.
He has a very powerful following in
Russia, and2should Stolypin prove unable
to carry through his political plans,
which are opposed by practically every
party. in the iDuma, it is almost certain
that Durnovo will be recalled.
1t was Durnovo who trampled out the
revolution, and, but for him, Russia
would to-day probably be republic and
Stolypin an obscure official.
Durnovo risked his life for the Car
and the dynasty, not once, but often, and
in return for this he is now a political
exile.
