JEALOUSY IN THE DREIBUND
I Austria Piqued at the Mutual Admiration
Displayed by Germany and Italy.
A Scheme to Bring Eng-
land to Her Senses.
BERLIN, April .20.—-—In well informed
circles there is an impression that the vis-
it of Emperor William to Vienna was not
such a success in strengthening the friend-
ship between Austria and Germany as ex-
pected. It is asserted that Emperor Francis
Joseph and his cabinet are piqued at the
length of Emperor William’s stay in Italy
and the mutual effusion displayed there
during the pourparlers.
The question of the future German sup-
port or the Austrian-Balkan policy was
repeatedly broached without eliciting sat-
isfactory German assurances, and a thor-
ough understanding on the subject he.
twaen Count Badeni and Prince Hohen-
lobe was thus unaffected. The Austrian
minister for foreign affairs, Count Golu-
chowski, .and all the minor Austrian oili-
cials received a “German decoration, but
Count Badeni, the premier, did not. An-
other question left unadjusted is that of
the British-German relations.
The German press has had an outburst
of temper. owing to an article in The
Morning Post of London, which is consid-
ered offensive to Germany, and the govern-
ment. it is said, in spite of Austria’s Wishes,
is determined to pursue a policy in
South Africa dictated by its own interests
entirely until Great Britain is brought to
her senses. Herr Herff, the German rep-
resentative, has received minute instruc-
tions in view of the latest developments
in South Africa.
The immense sensation which resulted
from the pistol duel between Count von
Kotze and Baron von Schrader, resulting
in the death of the latter, and anumber of
other recent encounters seems to promise
an early abolition of the duel in Germany.
In both the reichstag and the Prussian
diet the matter will be breached, and a de-
mand will be made for new and stringent
antiduel laws. Herren Richter and Bebel
and other Radicals ‘will lead the debate in
the reichstag. Public opinion is over-
whelmingly in favor of the abolition of
the duel, and it is understood that the em-
peror will shortly modify the prerogatives
and duties of the military courts of hon-
or, giving them full power to peaceably
adjust quarrels and differences of opinion
instead of merely advising.
The visit of Emperor William to Dres-
den on Thursday next, on the occasion of
the king of Saxony’s birthday, will be sig-
naled by a great gala fete, a military parade
and a monster street procession, in which
the Dresden art students will take part.
On' Tuesday next the imperial court
will remove to Potsdam for the summer,
and the empress will shortly conduct her
two eldest sons to the cadet school at
Ploen, where they will remain for three
years and only return home for the usual
holidays. Near the little Schloss, where
the princes will live, a small railway stw
tion, in log hut'stvle, has been specially
built, but they will be taught, in company
with the other pupils, in the schoolroom
of their private residence.
How Royalty Dines.
Oscar Kaufmann’s book makes public
some curious details regarding the ,pri-
vate life of the imperial family. It ap-
pears that the emperor contracts for meals
at so much per head with his chief but-
ler. An ordinary dinner costs under a
couple of dollars, exclusive of wine, and
on’ festive occasions a-dinner varies from
$5 to $10. The emperor usually has three
meals daily—a meat breakfast, a hot lunch
and a six course dinner, the latter being
always disposed of under an hour. There
are French and German chefs, but the
French are never Used for the imperial
family’s service. On the menu are Hock,
Bordeaux and champagne daily as table
wines, and the cellars of the Schloss hold
2,000 bottles of fine wines and 4,000 casks
of other wines and liquors. '
The government bill to prevent unfair
competition in trade was considered by the
imperial diet on Friday. The bill pro-
vides for the punishment of persons re-
vealing trade secrets, which the govern-
ment has divided into two categories—
first, those learned by workmen during
the ordinary course of service, and, sec-
ondly, those for which employers have ex-
acted promises of secrecy. The diet re-
fused to pass the measure in this shape
and adopted a modified form by which a
penalty is only applied to the betrayal of
business secrets during time of service
and with intent to injure their employers
or compete with them. The diet also de-
clined to accept the paragraph by which
editors of newspapers "were to, be held re-
sponsible for fraudulent or deceptive ad-
vertisements and passed the clause ex-
empting editors from penalty unless it.is
proved that they were aware that the ad-
vertisements were deceptive.
A government edict just published great.

During the week there were violent
snow and hailstormslin the German high-
lands, the mercury registering 22 degrees
in the Hartz mountains, with deep snow.
Hail fell to the depth of six inches in the
Taunus region, and frost has been much
injury to the young vegitation in the
northwest. The deep snow prevented the
emperor from hunting at‘; Kaltenbronn
and Badenr
Major Leutwein, the German governor
of Southwest Africa, reports that he fears
there will be a rising of the Hereros, who
number 60,000 and who are giving a great
deal of trouble. The German forces only
number 600 and are quite inadequate to
cope with them. If war breaks out. it
will be the biggest colonial trouble Ger-
many has yet had.
Beggars Accommodated.
NEWARK, N. J., April 20.—Four men,
who were arrested for begging in Harriéon,
were arraigned before Justice Lawless yes-
terday. ’l'he quartet told the justice that
nothing would please them more than
work, and they were not at all particular,
they said, as a what kind of labor it was.
Justice Lawless, who is an accommodat-
ing man, put them to work scrubbing the
floors and collect the prison. The prison
ers thanked him in sarcastic tones.
Bermuda Men Are Held.

FATAL MINE EXPLOSION.
Seven Men “'ere Blown Into Eternity and
Several Others Badly Injured.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 20.-—A Special to
The Journal from Nichart, Mon., says:
An explosion occurred in the Broadwater
mine at 1:15 yesterday morning by which
seven men lost their lives, and six others
seriously hurt.
The dead are: Frank Dorau, W. J. Mor-
rison, Hugh McKenzie, Dan O’Leary, D.
H. Rose, John Cairnes and James T. Gal-
lagher.
The seriously wounded are Joseph Do-
roen, James Connolly, George Doran, a
brother of Frank Doran; Charles Smith,
Mike Tobin and S. M. Brown. Several
others are badly bruised and out.
The accident occurred in the magazine
used for thawing powder. Prank Doran
was looking after the powder and had just
commenced loading the magazine when
the explosion occurred. It is supposed
that his candle must have ignited some
powder. He was found 20 feet from the
magazine in another draft and must have
seen the danger and tried to escape. The
men had just finished eating their mid-
night lunoh and were on their way back
to work. Thirty of them had to pass this
magazine, and it exploded as about half
were past. Those in the center are the
dead and seriously wounded. The mine
is badly caved in. Superintendent Coo«
' ney says there could not have been over
84 pounds of powder in the magazine at
the time, as it was not customary to keep
more than enough for one round of shots
there. Doran leaves a wife and two chil-
dren. The others are single men, most of
them having resided hpre but a short time.

If All That Is Claimed For the Roentgen
Rays' Effects Be True.
CHICAGO, April 20.—-Consumption is
dead. Diphtheria was killed outright.
Typhoid was annihilated. Cholera has
been stunned for 14 days. Pneumonia
was ‘barely able to resume work. An-
thrax and glanders escaped with serious
injury. Influenza missed slaughter by
its position under the tube.
This is the bulletin from the laboratory
of Professors Pratt and Wightman, who
announced to the world that the Roent-
gen ray is the cure for these diseases. The
last and final efforts to revive the exposed
colonies of germs have left four stone
dead. The investigators make this posi-
tive declaration. They claim that every
possible scientific precaution was taken
that there might be no possible reason for
their deception. They are convinced of
the success of the first experiment with
the bacilli in test tubes. '
They started in the laboratory a new
series of trials, which, they insist,will prove
or disprove the possible use of the discov-
ery in actual practice.
CARDINAL GIBBONS AS POPE.
A Possibility of the Future, According to
a. Home Correspondent.
LONlJON, April 20.—The Chronicle pub-
lishes an interesting letter from Rome, in
which the writer states that the pope still
governs his great household with order
and diligence, though there are stories of
the occasional failure of his physical pow-
er. But neither his diplomacy nor ecclesi-
astical policy have lost their old keenness
of perception. .
Referring to the pope’s pro-French di-
plomacy, the correspondent remarks that
he does not believe there is aquestion of a
pope ever making his headquarters at
Avignson, though “at an undated future
there might be a pope at Baltimore.”
His holiness, it appears, is now absorb-
ed in the idea of a reunion of the Roman
and Anglican church.
Elder Blair Dead.

dition on the train, and, on being removed

expired.

Stag and Snake. ' ~
' There is no beast in the world to
which more legendary virtues are at-
tributed than to the stag; partly owing
to the tale of St. Hubert, partly to a
supposed antipathy of stags towards
serpents, partly to a peculiar mass of
gristle in the shape of a cross which
is found in the animal’s heart. Awholc
book might be written on the miracu-
lous power of the hart, and the office.-
cy of different parts of him, against the
troubles of this evil world. Fouilloux,
in the 16th century, gives a long list,
and Master Robert Topsel fills page
upon page with them; but our author
in his solid English fashion is chary
about accepting such stories. Men say,
he admits, that when a stag is right
old he beateth a serpent withhis foot
till she be wroth, and then cafeth her,
and then goeth to drink, and then run-
r-cth hither and thither until the water
and venom be meddled together, and
maketh him cast all his evil humors
that he had in his body, and makcth his
flesh come all new, but, he adds, with
the solemnity of Herodotus himself,
“thereof make I none affirmation.”
And this phrase occurs again and
again, for the count of Fo-ix is too great
and noble a‘ hunter that any ascert'ion
of his should he laughed at.—Macmil-
lan’s Magazine.

dying, she would tell him how her
funeral was to be conducted, what he
