Brannon LETTER
The Kaiser Deposes General Schellen-V
doff, Minister For War.
GOSSLER‘ TAKES HIS . PLACE.
The Chancellor’s Head Will Be Next to
Fall, and. wa Seen Depends Upon
the Emperor‘s Temper—Cause of
the Ministerial Quarrel.
BERLIN, Aug. 17.—-The Official an-
nouncement that Generala Bronsart von
Schellendorf, the minister for war, had
been relieved from Office and that he
would he succeeded by General von Goss-
'ler, startled the political world yesterday.
The war minister’s difference with the
emperor regarding the long planned mili-
tary trial reform has been a topic for dis-
cussion for a long time past, and it was
known that unless his majesty acquiescd
to General von Schellendcrf’s view in the
matter, which was also .the view of the
emperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe,
that both intended to resign. .
But it was thought that 'the crisis
would be tided over until after the czar’s
visit to Berlin, and it appears that the
true reason which induced the emperor to
labandon his projected trip to the Rhine
' provinces was not physical indisposition,
but the fact that Prince Hohenlohe and
General von Schellendorf had intimated
to his majesty that they would resign un-
less he agreed to the military trial reform,
to which both ministers were publicly
pledged and which, owing to the influence
of the emperor’s private military cabinet,
especially that Of General' von‘ Hahnke,
the aid-de—camp general, has been de-
ferred repeatedly. jg
Hohenlohe Wm Wait Awhile. -&
The interviews between Emperor Wil-
liam and Prince Hohenlohe .on the ”sub-
ject were not satisfactory, as the chancel-
lor insisted upon his point, also alleging
that the burdens of Office were more oner-
ous than his age and health could bear.
NO definite understanding was reached,
but it is understood that the matter. was
postponed, so far as Prince Hohenlohe is
concerned, for the time being, and he will
remain in office unless new and sudden
complications arise, until the fall at least.
The case of General von Schellendorf was
different. He has been anxious to retire
for some time and insisted upon resigning
forthwith, unless his majesty agreed that
the trial bill should be introduced in the
reichstag during the autumn. The an-
nouncement that the general has been re-
lieved from the office is the emperor’s re-
ply.
The‘Reichsanzeiger publishes an auto-
graph letter from Emperor William to
General von Schellendorf, who has been
appointed an aid-de-camp to the emperor,
pensioned and placed upon the reserve
list. In the letter his majesty expresses
his warm appreciation of the general’s
services during the past three years. ’
The,emperor’s reason for objecting to
the reform of military trials is that he
fears that publicity in the trials would
weaken army discipline. But General vcn
Schellendorf was also nettled on account
of the recent removal of General von Ha-
berling from the head of the central sec-
tion of the general staff to ordinary serv-
ice without his consent or advice.
Prince Hohenlohe has left Berlin for
Werki, Russia. -
The Czar’s Visit.
The prospective visit of the czar to
Breslau and Goeiitz in order to witness
the big fall maneuvers is considered Of
prime political importance. German poli-
ticians claim that the czar’s presence at
these maneuvers and the attendant fetes
means a guarantee Of peace and a check to
the ambition Of France. '
The Vossische Zeitung says: “We may
greet the visit under its peculiar circum-
stances as a- good omen. When the first
visit paid by the czar to the emperor is
timed so as to include an illustration of
' Germany’s readiness and capacity. for war,
it will respond to the fundamental idea
that the present policy of the European
powers is to ensure peace by preparing for
War.” 2
A big colonial scandal, involving the
reputation Of Von Puttkamer, the govern-
‘01' of the Cameroons, is now in full blast, .
and You Puttkamer has been ordered to
Berlin to stand trial.’ Captain Stet-ten,
his accuser, who was commander Of the
Cameroon troops, is prepared to sustain
his charges, and the Radical leader, Dr.
Beckh, also intends to produce evidence
against him. The charges, in brief, are
receiving bribes, habitual inebriety and
debauchery. ‘
The Emigration Bill.
The emigration bill,’ which will be in-
troduced in the reichstag at the opening
Of the session, is now drafted. A pan-
German federation and a colonial council
have been determining factors in its fram-
ing. A central emigration bureau, assist-
ed by an emigration council, will be creat-
ed, emigration agents will be specially
licensed, false informatiion to emigrants
as to their prospects will be made pun-
ishable by imprisonment and a fine.
The agrarian press points with great
satisfaction to the recent reports in the
Americafi newspapers of the existence of
tubercolosis among cattle in Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana, New York and other states and
refers to the alleged lack of systematic in-
noculatlon of cows. Finally, they ask the
government, in view Of these statements,
to consider the exclusion of American
meat, dairy products, etc., from Germany.
The Hamburg Correspondent, in an
article inspired by the foreign office, re-
marks that the negotiations between Ger-
many and Denmark for the purpose Of in-
ducing the latter to sell her Antilles is-
lands will‘soon be resumed. The 'article
adds: _ ' g
“As for the Monroe. doctrine, there is
no question of new European acquisitions,
and the doctrine, moreover, is nowhere
recognizedoutside of the United States.”

win F. Uhl, received the Chinese ambassa-
dor on Tuesday last.

THE O‘BBTAN INSURRBOTION.
Ibrahim Pasha May Inaugurate an Era
of Savage RepressiOn.
' LONDON, Aug. 17.-—Advices received
here from Crete point to the fact that the
island is fast drifting into anarchy. Arms,
ammunitions and volunteers are being
landed in remote parts Of Crete from
Greece, and even Officers; and men from
the Grecian army have joined the i‘nsur-
gent ranks. Turkish troops are also ar-
riving on the island, but hitherto the lat-
ter have made but a poor showing against
the Cretans in actual fighting. '
The appointment of Ibrahim Pasha as
military governor of Crete has created a
most unfavorable impression in Europe.
He made himself notorious by his cruel
fanaticism in 1889, when he was removed
on the urgent representations of the for-
eign consuls. ’His advent in Crete at the
present moment seems to herald an era
of savage repression, unless the entente be-
tween Russia, Great Britain and France,
which promises soon to become, if it is not
already, an accomplished fact, enables the
powers to put the screw upon Turkey and
compel her to grant drastic reformsto the
Cretans. " '

General Greely’s Views on the Results of
' the Explorer’s Trip. '
EXETER, N. H, Aug. 17.—Brigadier
General A. W. Greely, in an interview
with your correspuzdent iast night in re-
gard to the Nansen expedition, said that
the reports thus far published were as yet
too meager to form an opinion. General
Greely said:
”Nansen apparently wintered -cn- Franz
Josef Land, and he says'he saw no land
north of 82 degrees.
of extreme danger, and it is most remark-
able that he returned alive. According to
the reports the land reached by my expe-
dition is the most northerly land yet at-
tained, as Nansen’s most northern point
is at sea. He went just-2 degrees and 52
minutes farther north than did Lockwood
and Brainard of my expedition in 1882.
When ~Nansen’s Observations are worked
out they will prove his explorations and
will also make interesting reading. Every
explorer should be given credit for'having-
made a truthful report.”
General Greely said that notwithstand-
ing Nansen’s reports Of an ocean 'to the
pole, recent deductions show that there is
land near that point, but that it is north
Of North America rather than Siberia.
“Apparently Nansen ' traveled only 120
miles from where he abandoned his ship.
This is less than ' half the distance that
Lockwood and Brainard traveled from the
fiéadqduarters Of my expedition at Lady
Franklin buy, but I want to say right here
that Nansen’s perseverance is worthy of
the old Scandinavian race. I think that
the expedition will disappoint those who
believe that Franz Josef Land extends to
the pole. My predictions of six months
ago that Nansen’s safe return lay in the
possibility that he would make and winter
in Franz Josef Land seems to have been
verified” ’ .
As to the possibility Of ‘the Fram drift-
ing to Spitzbergen, General Greely said
that the sea drift was in that direction,
but that the Jeannette and Tegethopp
were both lost in this sea by the action Of
the ice. General Greely placed little de-
pendence upon the reported discovery of
great depth and much warmer water. ~In
conclusion General Greely said that he
was convinced that if Nansen had not
met Jackson he would never have returned.

Have “'e Designs o}. CanadaT- ,-,
MONTREAL, Aug. 17. —The New .York
correspondent of Patric, the French Cana-
dian newspaper published here, say sthat
Americansare busy building fortifications
. and making warlike. preparations against
Canada. He adds: “The necessity for this
expenditure is causing much hostile senti-
ment toward Canada among Americans,
who really entertain no bad feeling; to-
ward the Canadian' people; whom they-a1-
wayswish to regard as friends. They have
no desire to waste money on ' frontiersar-
maments, but they say if Canada begins to
spend money by appropriating. several
millions for cannon and fortifications
along our frontiers and will allow her
country to be made the base of' military
operations by .England against the United
States, then We are compelled to prepare
for our own defense, and perhaps if the
provocation becomes too great we may be
compelled to adopt measures that will on-
tirely abolish the frontier. These are senti-
ments that have been cXpressed to me not
by Chauvinists, but by serious and intelli—.
gent persons. ” _
A Marriage That Failed.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J ., Aug. 17.-—Rev.
Joseph S. Van Dyck, pastor Of the Second
Presbyterian church of Cranberry, and his
wife have separated. They were married
on May 13 last. She was Mrs. Celia I.
Plumley. The couple lived together less
than two months when Mrs. Van Dyck
went to the residence of her sister, Mrs.
Thomas W. Schenck, in Dayton. It is al-
leged that the reason they parted was that
the minister would not drive his wife to
the home of her sister on Sunday. After
that she packed her belongings and went
herself. The elders of the church of which
Rev. Van Dyck is pastor tried to effect a
reconciliation. Mrs. Van Dycktold them
she had made a mistake in marrying the
minister, but that there was no trouble
and that she had decided .to live apart.
Rev. Van Dyck has been pastor of the
Cranberry church for 27 years. ' '
