BERLIN Gilli LITTER.

Germany Stood on Her Dignity In the
Louis Stern Incident,

A POLITE SNUB FOR OLNEY.

.l‘he Foreign Office Ignored His Protest

and Declined to Present It to the
Bavarian Government—A Vic-
tory For the Socialists.

 

BERLIN, May 25.—0fficials of the for-
eign office here say that they consider‘the
publication of the correspondence relating
to Louis Stern of New York in the Unit.
ed States as being contrary to diplomatic
usage. -

The Reichsanzieger publishes the letters
which passed between the minister for
foreign affairs. Baron Marschall von Bie«
berstein. and Baron von Thlelmann, the
German ambassador to the United States,
when the sentence of imprisonment pass-
ed upon Mr. Stern on a charge of insult-
ing Baron von Thuengen, deputy com-
missioner of the Spa at Kissengen, was
under discussion. The letters include Bar-
on Marschail von Bieberstein’s instruc-
tions.

The "minister for foreign aflairs tele-
graphed Barcn von Thielmann, the Ger~
man embassador to the United States, on
Oct. 13 instructing him to reply to the
statements of Secretary of State Olney in
reference to the Sentence of imprisonment
'passed upon Mr. Stern. In this note of
reply Baron Marschall‘ vcn Bieberstein
again declared that the imperial govern.
ment. in accordance with the generally
recognized custom, on principle could ac-
cept" proposals and cémplaints from for-
eign governments only through the prop-
erly accredited representatives of those
governments. ,

Criticism Not Permitted.

The German minister for foreign affairs
insisted that the embassador from the
court of Berlin, Baron vcn Thielmann,
must reject from the outset any attempt
at official representations regarding the
exercise of the prerogative of mercy by
the German sovereign or any criticism of
the judicial procedure of the German au-
thorities.

Baron Marschall von Bieberstein then
reverted to a conversation which he had
with Theodore Runyon, then United
States ambassador, in which the embassa-
dor called attention to the harsh treat-
ment accorded Mr. Stern, which. he said,
had produced a painful impression in
America. In reply, Baron Marschall vcn
Bieberstein saidthat he was compelled to
reject any attempt to make the German
sovereign’s prerogative of mercy a subject
of complaint. He also declined to accept
any criticism of the German court which
the American officials might make. Any
statement of fact, Baron Marschall von
Bieberstein explained, that Embassador
Buhyon desired to submit in the interest
of the convicted man obtained from Amer-
ica he would. of course, be willing to sub-
mit for the consideration of the proper au-

V thorities: also he would gladly correct any

erroneous assertions which might have

been made for the purpose of influencing

public opinion against a friendly country.
A Snub For Olney.

Continuing, he explained that the heavy
fine imposed upon Mr. Stern had been
levied as a matter of precaution. It had
been based upon a free estimate of the
wealth of the defendant and had been jus-
tified by the ordinary judicial prosecution
of criminal cases. The term of imprison-
ment adjudged was that prescribed by the
penal code of Germany, in which every
one was equal in the eyes of the law.
Americans, he asserted, were treated ex-
actly as Germans. '

Baron Marsohall von Bieberstein then
proceeded to explain the methods adopted
by the German government for the pro-
tection of officials on duty. They had a
right to claim this protection against
threats and insults. In this connection,
he added, milder views appeared to pre-
vail in the United States of America than
are entertained in Germany. In cases
where German laws were involved, he as-
serted, only German views should have
weight, He cited the case of the present
law concerning Sunday rest now being
vigorously enforced in New York city.
Various Germans had been sentenced to
pay disproportionately heavy fines. How-
ever, it was never thought that the Berlin
government should interfere in their be
half. Germany, he said, expected a simi-
lar attitude on the part of the United
States.

' He, therefore, must decline to comma.
nicato the critical remarks of Secretary
Oéney to the Bavarian government, whose
O cials had imposed the sentence upon
Mr, Stern, or in any other way give
Weight to those criticisms.

A Socialist Victory.

One of the first matters for discussion
in the r'eichstag after the vacation will be
the question introduced by the Socialists
and Radicals regarding the advisability
of thoroughly changing the law of asso-
ciation, which dates from 1851. It is
generally admitted that the government
made a serious blunder in prosecuting the
Socialist leaders for doing precisely what
allpolitical societies have- done without
interference. The Vorwaerts says:

. “All parties must now have their eyes
opened to the fact that it is in their own
interest to wipe out this obnoxious law. ”

The Vcsslsohe Zeitung remarks: “This
trial, begun with so much noise, ends
with fining the Socialists 800 marks. It
was well worth this sum, to the Socialists
to have the trial brought into discussion
in the reichstag.” .

Herr Bebei’s opinion, expressed after
the trial, was: “While the antisocialist
laws were in force I attended a great
many political trials, sometimes as the
accused and sometimes asawitness. But
never in my experience have the political
police suffered such a crushing moral de-

eat. ’ '

Johns Hopkins University Prevails Upon
Him to Retain Its Presidency.

BALTIMORE, May 25.—The board of
trustees of the Johns Hopkins university
held a meeting yesterday and adopted
resolutions to the effect that Mr. Gilman
could not be permitted to relinquish the
presidency of the university. Mr. Gilman
was asked what action he would take in
view of these_resclutions, and he replied:
“There is no action to be taken. The 8.0-.
tion of the board is conclusive.” This
means that Mr. Gilman will remain as
president of the university.

Before the meeting of the board of trus—
tees a meeting of the faculty was held, at
which 77 members Were present. A num-
ber of addresses were made, and resolutions
were unanimously adopted to the effect
that President Gilman’s departure at this
time Would be a calamity from which the
institution could with difficulty recover.

In’ the meantime the board of trustees
had been gathering in the boardroom. A
majority of the members were present.
Mr. Gilman, taking some papers, went
in before them and remained about 15
minutes. He then came out, and the
board was in session for about an hour
after that. Mr. Gilman said that he had

explained the matter to the board and-

had then withdgawn. At the conclusion
of the meeting Mr. James L. McLane
gave out for publication the following
resolution, which had been adopted:
“Resolved, That it is the unanimous
sense of this board that the withdrawal of
Dr. Gilman from the university would be
an immeasureable calamity to it and a
great blow to the cause of. education in
this country. Having organized the uni.
varsity and brought it to its present high

standard of usefulness by 20 years of la-.

bor, Dr. Gilman cannot be permitted to
relinquish its presidency.”

While the board was in session Mr. Gil-
man was in the outer office. It was evi-
dent that he was much perturbed. and he
walked anxiously to and fro. When shown
the petition to the trustees from the fac-
ulty, Mr. Gilman was visibly affected.

“It is very evident,” said he, “that I
will not be permitted to go. I cannot
go in the face of anything like that,”
pointing to the petition, with its 77
signatures. “That. I think, is the key to
the situation.” When he was called in to
the boardroom and the resolution ex-
plained to him, he came very quietly back
to the front oifice. He acted as if he were
very glad that the matter had been de-
cided the way it had and accepted the
situation gracefully.

THE. GREAT BOAT RAGE.

Arrangements For the Big Event at
Poughkecpsie \Vell Under Way.

Poucnxnsrsm. N. Y., May 25.—The
published statement that Senator Hill’s
bill providing for the secretary of the
treasury to detail one or more revenue
cutters to attend yachting and boating re-
gattas and enforce rules for policing the
course has been lost in conference is un-
true.

The report came from the fact that the
measure had been dropped from the har-
bor and river appropriation bill, to which
it was attached as arider, because Sen-
ator Hill’s original and separate bill had
already passed both branches of congress.

Senator Hill telegraphed to friends in
this city that the bill has. been signed by
the president and is now a law.

The citizens’ committee of this city has
commenced making arrangements for the
big race. The boathouse for the Colum-
bia crew is completed, and the boathouses
for the other crews will be built this week.
The Columbia crew expects to go into
training here on June 20. The Penn-
sylvania crew is expected here on June
5, Harvard on or soon after the 4th and
the Cornell crew on June 12.

A.WORLD OF WORK.‘

It is stated that nearly 1,000,000
pounds of fur for hatters’ purposes is
produced in the United States.

An orange 16 inches in circumference
is a recent product of a tree in Pomona,
Cal. It is to be sent to Europe as a Speci-
men of the big fruit of California.

The most valuable railway property
in the world is that of the London. &
Northwestern Railway company, the
valuation of which is $595,000,000. The
receipts average $6,500 an hour.

The ice crop on the Kennebec river,
Maine, this winter was 732,000 term, and
on the Penobscot 150,000 tons. The ice-
men expect to get 80 or 90 cents aton
for ice this summer. -

In the lumber district tributary to
Minneapolis 585,000,000 feet of logs
were cut during the winter just closed.

- Coal mining is paying one party of
miners in the Yukon better than gold
mining paid them. A find of excellent
coal was made recently in the Forty-
Mile creek district, and with wood at
$12 to $14 a cord the coal vein- is an ex-
cellent pay streak.

THE CYCLING WORLD.

Queen Marghcrita, of Italy, when
staying at Monza,‘ sent for a. Milanese
professor, and after a few lessons she
rode the bicycle quite nicely. Now she
goes long distances accompanied. by
members of her suite.

An English trades unionhas refused
to work with men who ride to their
work on bicycles, on the ground that
they have an unfair advantage in being
able to work longer at the Shop and
yet get home at the same time as those
'who walk.

Ono curious effect of bicycling in
England is the elimination of chap-
erons out of doors. Young women,
who would not have dreamed of riding
horseback unattended by a groom, now
go wherever they please alone on their
bicycles. '

English bicycle thieves are in-
genious. A lady was riding- near
Sarbiton when a. gentlemanly-looking
person called out to her that her tire
was out of order and cifered to inflate
it for "her. She accepted his oiler, and
after remedying the fault he got on
the wheel to show her that it was all
right, and then rode off with the wheel.

DISTINGUISHED WARRIORS.

Sir Horatio Kitchener, sirdar of the

Now that the hot weather is here the problem is-
how to keep healthful. Our belief is that most
people are careless of how and when to dress. In
this very changeable climate some think that as
soon as the first warm days comes that they must
drop their outside garments, put on a lawn dress .
and keep it on until September. Hence so many
