BERLIN EAELE LETTER
Dr. Miguel, Likely to Succeed Prince
Hohcnlohe as Chancellor.
A ROTTEN POLICE SERVICE.
The Government Spy System a NetWork
of Corruption—Moral Depravity Dis-
closed by the V on Tausch Trial.
Military secrets Betrayed.
Berlin, May 31,—The government’s
virtual defeat in the diet on the law of
association bill has roused considerable
interest in parliamentary circles as to
whether Prince Hohenlohe and the
cabinet will survive it. The resigna—
tionsof Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial
chancelllor; Baron von Bieberstein, the
minister for foreign affairs, and Dr.
von Boetticher,. the imperial secretary
of state for the interior, are still in the
emperor’s hands, and just now it is
said that Dr..Miquel, the minister of
finance, may become the successor of
Prince Hohenlohe, the emperor feeling
great confidence in Dr. Miquel’s skill
and energy. Dr. Miq-uel, however, is in
poor health. ’
As an important outcome of the agi-
tation due to the law of association
bill the Socialists of Prussia have re—
solved to take part in the future in the
diet elections, even though the prevail-
ing electoral system does not give‘them
a. chance of electing their own candi-
dates, but it will enable them to throw
victory in many districts to the Liber—
al candidates instead of to the Con—
servatives. This change of tactics up-
on the part of the Socialists is, aimed—
ed to gain for them another 250,000
.Prussian votes, which could also be
used in the reichstag elections.
The "on Tausch Trial.
The trial of Herr von Tausch, the
former chief of the secret political po-
lice, charged with perjury, treason and
forgery, which began on Monday last,
monopolizes public attention. The pro-
ceedings will last for at least another
week. Though a number of revela-
tions have been made showmg the rot-
tenness and moral turpitude of the
Berlin secret police, there is a general
impression that much interesting iri-
formation has been withheld by Von
Tausch and by Baron von Luetzow,
the chief witness against him, espe-
cially regarding the intrigues of high
dignitaries, to “queer" a. number of
past and present ministers.
The presiding judge repeatedly ex-
pressed indignation at the network of
corruption and baseness into which the
depositions of the defendants threw
light. Von Luetzow admitted that the
names of well known citizens were fre-
quently forged to receipts for money
received as recompense'for spy service.
Von Tausch said that the police com-
missioners necessarily had to shield the
criminal acts of their subordinate
agents against the law, otherwise, he
added, no police commissioner could
accomplish anything, as usually the
most clever agents were the worst men
from a moral standpoint.
Corrupt Newspapers. ,
The prisoner revealed a number of
damaging incidents against the owners
and editors of Berlin newspapers. Herr
Schweinburg, the owner of two Berlin
newspapers, was charged with receiv-
ing an annual bribe of 30,000 marks
from the Disconto society. It was also
elicited that Normann Schumann, who
was implicated in the scandal which re-
sulted in Von Luetzow being sentenc—
ed to 16 months’ imprisonment in De-
cember last, while writing at Von
Tausch’s behest scurrilous articles
against members of the present cabi-
net and the emperor, was paid by Von
Tausch for instituting make believe
inquiries into the authorship of these
articles and foreharging wholly inno~.
cent persons with writing them. Nor-
mann Schumann escaped from Berlin
previous to the arrest of Von Luetzow.
The testimony this week of the min-
ister for foreign affairs, Baron Mar-
schall von Bieberstein, and of the Ger-
man embassador to Austria; Count
Philip von Eulenburg, is awaited with
curiosity. ’
There was another sensational" trial
last week, the prisoners being charged
with treasonable acts in favor of Rus-
sia and committed at Thorn, the most
important Russian fortress on the Rus-
sian border. Fahnin, a fortification mas-
ter, and a court official named Al-
brecht were the principal defendants.
Several Russian go betweens fled the
country in time to escape. arrest.
Military Secrets Betrayed.
The evidence showed that important
military secrets, especially regarding
the nature of the equipments of the
Prussian frontier fortifications, had
been betrayed. Fahrin was sentenced
to four years’ imprisonment.
The fiscal year just closing shows the
surplus of the imperial budget to be
190,000,000 marks and the surplus of the
Prussian budget. to be nearly 100,000,-
000 marks. \
Much astonishment is expreSSed at
the refusal of the emperor to attend
the gorgeous banquet offered him in
connection with the fall maneuvers by
the' City of VVeisbaden. As the sole
reason for this refusal his majesty cit—
ed the large expense and the luxury of
a feast costing 25,000 marks. Hitherto
the emperor has favored large expendi-
tures on similar occasions.
According to 'an official report, 23;»
foreigners have been expelled from Ger-
many this year up to the month of
May. Of this number 46 were Anteri-
cans. ' ,
Mrs. Richard Olney, wife of the for—
mer secretary of state, is on a visit
here to her daughter.

Senator Hanna Denies It.
Washington, May 31.—Senator Han-
na is quite concerned over the publica-
tion of a report to the effect that he
has promised the railroads that a pool-
ing bill should be enacted out of con
sideration for the, alleged assistance
rendered the rRepublican party by the
railroad companies in the recent cam—
paign. The report, he said, "is prepos-
terous,‘and I indignantly deny it."

LBOPOLD on A LARK.
The King of the Belgians 011‘ on a. Mys-
‘ tel-ions Jaunt. ,
London, May 31.—T‘here is- a good
deal of mystery about the recent move-
ments of the king of 'the Belgians. This
state of things cannot be regarded as
unusual, for Leopold II has long been
the mosit unconventional of monarchs.
In the middle of last week the official
court chronicler in Brussels gave to the
press the customary paragraphs that
the king breakfasted so and so, dined
at such an hour, went Tto walk in the
park, etc., while all the time his majes-
ty was strolling about London seeing
the jubilee preparations and enjoying
himself generally in a quiet sort of
way.
Some say that he perpetrated a little
joke by proceeding to Sheffield last
week when Queen Victoria paid a visit
to that city, and the old lady was
scared to see her royal kinsman on foot
in thei‘front line of the.big crowd of en-
thusiastic Yorkshiremen.
Whether the story is true or not, it is
certain that KingLeopold might have
seen the queen at any moment before
her departure for Scotland on Friday
evening and did not take advantage of
the opportunity. But on Sunday last
he suddenly started off after her aj-
esty and traveled to Balmoral as an
ordinary passenger.
After seeing the queen the king made
tracks for Glasgow, where his yacht
was opportunely anchored, and aboard
that vessel he sailed on Wednesday
‘ If the list
of people aboard the yacht could have
been obtained, light might have been
thrown upon the mystery, but the ves—
sel was jealously guarded while in port,
and the king selected the Witching hour
of midnight for joining her.
The natural impulse of those unac—
quainted with King Leopold’s ways
would be to connect such a journey as
that to Balmoral with affairs of state.
But those whO'know the man would
scout suchan explanation. Five years
ago, during a similar mysterious jaunt,
an enterprising Belgian journalist had
the king watched for 24 hours in Lon-
don. The result was poor reading in-
deed, for the king rose at 11 o’clock in
the morning, lunched at a. cafe in Re-
gent street, walked in the park most of
the afternoon, dined at the same cafe,
visited a fashionable music hall, return-
ed to his hotel at 11 p. m and presuma—
bly went to bed.
,THE EMERGENCY RATION.
A Test That Fully Pgoves Its Efficiency
In Military Movements.
Fort Sill, I. T., May 31.——Troop E,
First cavalry, has just returned from a.
ten days’ march on five days’ emer-
gency rations. The trip was made as a
test. The troop was commanded by
Captain W. S. Brown, and he was fol-
lowed by Lieutenant W. H. Osborne,
one day behind, with a relief detach-
ment in case of trouble. The troop
was accompanied by Colonel Charles
Smart, surgeon, detailed from Wash-
ington to make a. report upon the
trial.
. The troop as it came into the post
looked well and hearty for the usual
wear and tear of field service. The
horses suffered some, as they were de-
prived of grain. Captain Brown ex—
pressed himself as well pleased with
the results, and except for some minor
changes in equipments suggests no im-
provements upon the ration as adopted.
Colonel Smart says it is now fully
demonstrated that a body of men can
march ten days on the prepared half
rations and be as well equipped physi-
cally at the end of the trip to meet the
enemy as when they started. The men
lost about four pounds each, none of
them were sick, and Colonel Smart
says the results of the trip are satis-
factory in every reSpect, fully establish-
ing the emergency ration as a perma—
nent and tried institution in every
equipment.
Township Records Missing.
Atlantic Highlands, N. J., May 31.—
The‘: books and records of Middletown
township, Monmouth county, have dis-
appeared. The officials are about to be—
gin an investigation into the affairs of
the town, and _it was while preparing
for the work that the books were miss—
ing. The news led to the report that
there was a shortage in the accounts of
some of the township officials, and that
the books had been stolen to hide the
matter. This is denied, but no one can
account for the disappearance of the
books. ‘
Nellie Bly's Latest.
Chicago, May 31.—Nellie Bly, who
achieved notoriety a few years ago by
a lightning chase around the world and
later married an aged millionaire, Rob-
ert Seaman, now wants to be detective.
With that end in view, she now is in
this city. She believes Chief Kipley is
in need of a woman of her attainments
to dO'fine police work, but as yet she
has not succeeded in convincing the
head of the police department.
Knights of Pythias Lose.
Lansing, Mich, May 31.——The Im-
proved Order Knights of Pythias has
won a victory in its controversy with
the supreme lodge, Knights of Pythias.
The latter sought to enjoin the former
from using therltual and jewels of the
Order of Knights of Pythias and from
using the name Improved Order Knights
of Pythias.‘ The supreme court sustains
the circuit court in Detroit in dismiss-
ing the bill for an injunction.
Delaware’s Legislature.
Dover, Del., May 31.—The Delaware
legislature has adjourned until Jan. 11,
1898, when it will again meet to enact
the legislation necessary to enforce the
new constitution soon to be promulgat—
ed by the constitutional convention.
Philadelphia Gets Dowd.
Philadelphia, May 31.-—‘A baseball
trade by which the Philadelphia club
secures the services of Dowd of the St.
Louis club-in exchange for Hallman,
Grady and Harley has been consum-
mated. . .

Washington, May 31.——The comptrol-
ler of \the currency has given authority

National bank of Saranac Lake, N. Y.,
to begin business; capital, $50,000.
