BERLIN CABIN LETTER
The Emperor In a Temper With His
Minister For Foreign Affairs.
OFFERED HIS RESIGNATION.
It Was Refused For the "Present, but: a
Break In the Ministry Is Inevitable.
The Trouble Occurred Over
the Police spy Scandal.
BERLIN, Dec. 14.—The revelations of
the Luetzow trial and the arrest of Baron
von Tausch, the commissioner of detect-
ives, are having unimagined consequences,
and the whole police spy system as organ-
ized uhder Von Puttkamer and perfected
under Eulenberg and Von Koeller will be
either modified or abolished. The cabinet
has held daily sessions elaborating a plan
for so doing;
The emperor, since his return from
Hanover and Bucks'berg, has conferred
with Count 211 Eulenberg, police chief of
Windheim, Prince von Hohenlohe and
Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, and it
is reported in court circles that his maj-
esty is in no way satisfied with the bold
public way in which Hohenlohe and Baron
Marschall unearthed in court the police
espionage whereof they have been the vic-
tims for years, believing that the exposure
will prejudice the home authority and
German influence abroad. ‘
A scene between the emperor and Baron
Marschall at the new palace is reported to
have been very animated. It is even claim-
ed by ‘some of the emperor’s entourage
that the minister for foreign affairs tandem
ed his resignation, which was refused for
the time being. It is certain, however,
that the court clique hostile to Baron
Marschall and .Prince Hohenlohe, with
Count zu Eulenberg at its head, is again
in the ascendant, and unexpected develop-
ments may be looked for at any moment.
It is significant that his majesty con-
ferred with everybody on the recent events
before he conferred with Prince Hohenlohe
_,and Baron Marschall. The emperor, how-
ever, is convinced of the necessity of over-
hauling the detective serVice. It appears
that Von Tausch has powerful and influ-
ential backers. His trial has been fixed
for three weeks hence, and it is not doubt-
ed that it will develop new and sensation-
al facts.
Bismarck’s Hand.
It is interesting to note that Count Her-
bert Bismarck visited his father last week,
and the next day the Hamburger Nach-
richten came out with an urgent demand
that the hackers and patrons of Von
Tausch be unearthed and punished.
Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, has
announced that at a mass meeting on
Tuesday he is going to make interesting
revelations regarding the supporters of
Von Tausch, and the Socialists intend to
move in the reichstag to eliminate from
the criminal code the so called spy para-
graphs.
One of the most sensational articles of
the week appeared in.The Vorwaerts the
Socialist organ. It was entitled “Signs
of the Times,” and in it the rottenness of
German political life was exposed and
compared with revolutionary life in
France. The Eulenbergs, Count Von Wal-
dersee and the Bismarcks are openly charg-
ed with having prompted \Von Tausch in
his past doings.
Five thousand copies of The Vorwaerts
were sold in the streets before Vandorsc
was arrested, and the remaining copies
were confiscated. The Vorwaerts will be
prosecuted for slander.
Nearly all the German papers, however,
strongly condemn the police spy system
and agree that further disclosures are im-
minent. .
An Exchange of Grudgos.
President Cleveland’s tonnage dues de-
crees have caused a. great stir in overn-
ment circles, where they are violen y con-
demned. But it is supposed that Ger-
many‘s rcmonstranoe will lead to their
withdrawal. The Kruez Zeituns says:
“As a matter of fact, we have many
more grudges against the Americans than
they have against us, for it is an establish-
ed fact that German sugar pays America
more than the treaty regulations fix. This
.is not even denied by the Americans, and
that alone would enable us to retaliate by
some such measure. In fact, it is indis-
pensable if the United States loads our
ships with extra burdens such as are not
imposed by European countries. Cereals,
cotton, petroleum, butter, apples and es-
pecially meats are all Open to retaliatory
treatment on our side. Americans need
us. more than we need them, though We
do not deny that they are good customers
of our manufactures. But if what is said
of McKinley’s intentions proves true the
Yankees themselves will rid us d any re—
maining scruples. As McKinley is only
the tool of the great monopolists, we may
know what to expect.”
The other Agrarian and Conservative
newspapers, such as The Tagllche Rund-
schan and Deutsche Zcitung, print 'sim-
ilar editorials.
The Big Strike.
Big collections have been made here in
behalf of the Hamburg strikers. The sum
of 163,000 marks was collected in one day
for their use. The Socialists have called-
six huge mass meetings for Tuesday in or-_
der to express sympathy with the strikers,
and the audiences will be addressed-by the
Socialist members of the rolchstag.
There have been a number of excesses
during the strike at Hamburg, and nu-
merous arrests have been made. Thestrik-
ers, however, are now weakening, and at
their meetings today there was a strong
feeling in favor of peace negotiations.
They appear inclined to patch up their dis-
putes, as it is stated that in spite of the
huge sums of money collected for them
their funds are running out.
The meetings today adopted resolutions
in favor of coming to an arrangement
with the employers, and a conference be-
tween the latter and their employees will
decide upon the composition of a board of
. conciliation. The strikers insist that they
do not desire the supremacy and claim
that they only wish to settle the questions
of wages and the conditions of labor. They
deny also that they intend, if peace is con-
cluded, to start a new strike as soon as
possible.
County Clerk Butler Dead.
SYRACUSE, Dec. '14. — James Butler,
clerk of Onondaga county, died yesterday
of Bright’s disease. He was elected in
1894 and had one year more to serve. He
was a veteran of the war. Governor Mor-
ton will appoint his successor.

much excitement here over rumors of
charges against officials and employees of

Inca-Iced" at Olney.
LONDON, Dec. 12. — A dispatch from
Constantinople to The Chronicle says:
“Americans here are incensed at Secretary
Olney’s quibbling statements about the
friendly attitude of the authorities here.
They defy Mr. Terrell, the United States
minister, to disprove the fact that the
American mission house in a. Hasskeul
suburb was looted, the caretaker killed
and the American flag torn down. It is
regretted that the United States is repre-
sented by so unpractical a tyro in diplo-
macy as Mr. Terrell, whose recall is angel'-
ly awaited.” .

A woman’s physical
life is wrapped up in

and strength the whole
" woman becomes
healthy and strong. Dr. R. V. Pierce of
Bufl'alo, N. Y., has made a life-study of this
problem of restoring health and strength
to women. His “Favorite Prescription”
is the most successful remedy that has ever
been known for women’s peculiar ailments.
Its sale exceeds the combined sales of all
other medicines for women. It cures the
most obstinate uterine diseases. It goes
directly to the intemal'or anism which is
the real seat of all the trou les. It imparts '
vigor and health where ‘they are most
needed; heals ulceration; stops the weak-
ening drains ; promotes regularity; restores
muscular power to the ligaments, thusrcor-
recting displacements of special organs In
the only natural way.

have used it, are embodied in

BAD MULBERRY BEND. , ‘ '-
One of New York’s Oldest and Worst
Landmarks Transformed. ’
Several blocks of ramshackle buildo
the city authorities of New York last
year, have been torn down, and the
grOund they occupied turned into a
park, which has just been opened.
Every morning, from 6 to 10, there
eastern boundary of the park. There
is not a more picturesque scene to be
found on Manhattan Island. The buy-
ers and sellers both are chiefly Italian
women, wearing bright colors and
dealing, so it alvvay's seems, in the
most brilliant carrots and cabbages
and tomatoes. and peppers that the
vegetable kingdom ever produced.
purchases they turn their dark eyes to
the broad greensward across the
street.
that way as well. Basket on one arm
and a baby on the other, they take a
slow and solemn promenade along the
broad asphalt walks. Then they go
away, and that’s the end of the consti-
tutional for the day. Most of them,
however, do not have even that much.
They look curiously at the green
spaces. They blink their big eyes.
There is such a lot of sky, and it
seems so bright and big to people who
are accustomed to having the firma—
ment only in patches. After they have
looked at it‘ a while theyturn around
and make their stolid ways back to
their own particular rookeries.
That is what the women do. The
feminine element is in the minority in
Mulberry Bend. They have too much
to do at home. Sitting around on park
benches is a masculine prerogative
just as lying on a stone wall in the
sunshine is the man‘s peculiar right in
Italy. There are 150 benches in the
little park, and they are always pretty
Well filled. On week days there are
from 300 to 500 persons there all day
long. On Sunday his number is dou-
bled and trebled. Saturday is another
big day. The children own the walks
then. Sometimes they think they own
the whole place, grass and all. The
little brown boards bearing our na-
tional motto, “Keep Off the Grass,”
appeal to the youthful Mulberry mind,
if they appeal at all, as simply ornap
mental. And those big places covered
with funny green stud are so allurinO‘.
The green stuff impresses the chil-
dren as funny because most ofvthem
have never seen it before. This fact
is one which writers about the tene-
ments districts never tire of recording.
They generally honor it with an excla-
mation point, and even, in some cases,
with italics. People get rather. tired of
hearing it, and sometimes skeptical.
But the truth is a perennial one down
there, where the children arrive in
yearly platoons. No matter how in-
dustriously the fresh air charities may
carry the children to the country or
the parks-to exhibit to them the won-
ders of the grass and trees and flow-
ers, there are always advancing hosts
of babies too young to be fresh—aired,
and tree-shaded, and grass—stained. It
Is hackneyed, yet it is pitiful.
HOW PERFUMES ARE MADE.
A. Simple Process that Even a. Child Can
Understand.
I wonder if my lady of fashion, as
she puts the drops of perfume here and
there upon her clothing, ever thinks of
the humble substance that is used to
extract this perfume from the flowers?
Does she know of the great sheets of
coarse white fat that have been torn
from the entrails of animals to draw
for her these precious drops of fra-
grance from the little flowers. ‘
The town of Grasse. in the beauti-
fulRiviera of France, a few miles
back of Cannes, is the center of the
richest perfume products in the world.
ern land, fields of flowers/surround the
high mountain village to which they
are finally brOught, that they may yield
their fragrant lives in the dark per-
fume factories with which Grasse
abounds.
All is not quiet in the dark, fragrant
rooms of the factories. Men and wo-
men move quietly about. bearing great
tin cans of steeping flower petals or
huge cylinders of rosy-scented porn~
tides, and the process of perfume-mak-
ing is so simple that a child can under-
stand it.
In a long underground chamber were
rows of tables entirely covered by
”layers of fresh fat taken from beef or
pork. Into this, women with deft
fingers stick the starry flowers f Om
the jasmine, or extract those whose
lives have already been absorbed by
the grease. Here and there the fat
is serrated by sharp knives, to aid in
:horougnly immersing the flowers in
their greasy bath.
For several days this simple process,
called “enfleurage,” is gone through
with, after which the ”fat, now thor-
oughly impregnated with the breath of
thousands of sweet flowers, is chopped
fine, like suet, and placed into spirits
of alcohol, where it is left to infuse
for about a month. The alcohol, ex-
tracting all the odor from the fat, be
comes itself “perfume,” and the greaSe
once more odorless, can be used again
to suck the life from more flowers—-
