KAISER RESENTS EA SLIGHT. Hamburg Didn’t Toast Him, So Hamburg Must Get Along Without Him—An- other Batch of Fifteen Generals Retired From the Army. Berlin, June 28.-—-The reichstag has adjourned for the summer, but the Prussian diet will remain in session un- til late in July. The association reform committee of the upper house of the diet passed the association bill on Friday in the muti- lated form adopted by the lower house, but with an addition to the effect that associations “in which there are an- archist or social democrat movements or movements aiming to overthrow the existing organization of the state or so- ciety or movements preparatory to a separation of part of the territory of ,the state from the whole come to light in a manner dangerous to public securi- ty, especially to the security of the state, may be dissolved by the police." The diet is almost certain to pass the bill in this form, which is more con- sonant with the wishes of the govern~ ment, which desires in a measure re- pressing all Opposition meetings and all Opposition agitation, but there is no chance of the reichstag agreeing to the measure in its amended form. It was interesting to note the crop- ping out of the deep seated animosity between the two bodies, the i‘eichstag and the diet. In the diet Baron von Zedlitz, the Conservative leader, re— ferred, amid applause, to the “misguid- ed, blinded majority of the reichstag,” and speakers in the reichstag repaid the attack in kind. Herr Richter, the Radical leader in both bodies, spoke in scathing terms of the “almost perma— nent cabinet crisis.” He said Dr. Miquel is to be virtually the new chancellor, adding: “What does he believe in? We ought to invite him to appear before us and divulge his programme. It is not enough for us to know the ideas of the June government. We ought to know also those of the July government. As to the autumn government, nobody knows anything about them.” This sally was received with great applause from the members of the Left. Tired of Office. In private conversationPrinceHohen~ lohe, the imperial 'chancellor, has ex- pressed himself as being tired of office, adding that he counted upon retiring in the fall. The middle of June report for Prus- sia. shows that unusually good crops may be expected, especially of rye. Some of the provinces, Silesia and Pos- en for instance, are expecting to sur. _ pass anything seen in 20 years. The meeting of Emperor William and King Leopold of Belgium. at Kiel is not entirely devoid of political significance. They will discuss the Kongo and other African problems touching both Ger- many and Belgium, such as the slave question. King Leopold will invite the emperor to personally attend the Brus- sels exposition. By rejecting the invitation of the Hamburg senate to attend the horticul- tural show and by avoiding touching Hamburg territory on his present trip, Emperor William wanted to testify his displeasure at the recent failure to toast him at the banquet tendered to the members of the reichstag at Ham- burg. A comical mistake of the emperor in a recent speech has been discovered. Speaking at the unveiling of the mon- ument to his grandfather, at Cologne, his majesty referred to “Neptune with the trident,” to which he tacked his re- marks in agitating for an increase in the strength of the German navy. ..The symbolical figure “on the monument, however, was meant by the sculptor to represent Father Rhine, and it has not a. trident, but garlanded vines and grapes where the trident might be. Prince Henry of Prussia, after the summer naval maneuvers, will resign command of the second division of the First squadron of the German fleet and will take the position of rear-admii‘al, with naval commands ashore and head- quarters at Kiel. More Generals Retired. Another batch of 15 generals has been retired from the army by the emperor, making 30 generals retired by his maj- esty in three months. The oldest of the retired officers is only 56 years of age. At the War academy of Potsdam two of the older pupils have fought a saber duel with the knowledge and approval of their superiors. Both were severely wounded about the head, and one of them will probably die. The sessions of the court’ of arbitra- tion, of which the King of Saxony is president, to determine the successor- ship to the throne of Lippe-Detmold, have concluded, and the finding will be published within three weeks. It is re- ported that‘the emperor’s brother-in- law, Prince Adolph of Schaumburg— Lippe, has been defeated in his preten- sions. , ' Much amusement has been aroused by the fact that the jubilee portrait of the queen, issued by the London Times, was “made in Germany.” Sergeant Raith of the Bavarian artil— lery, stationed at Metz, recently stab— bed to death ‘a soldier who refused to obey an order which that noncommis- stoned officer had given him. Raith has been officially praised for his act. ~The’ Kreuzzeitung warns German farmers against the invitations of em- igrant agents to settle in the southern states of America, and calls upon the government to issue a. strict prohibi- tive decree against such emigration, “since German farmers are too good to compete with black labor in the cotton and rice fields.” The Duty on Hides. Washington, June 28.——The senate finance committee has changed the pro- vision for a duty on hides so as to make it ad valorem instead of specific, fixing the rate at 20 per cent, instead of 11/2 cents per pound. The leather paragraph is also? altered so as to provide compen- satOry duties for the duty on hides.- The Grindstone Burst.

That was but natural, for people had been disap-‘ pointed many times. But first a. man in Norwalk spoke, then a woman in South\Norwalk, and soon from all over both places arose the chorus of praises for C. C. C., California Catarrh Cure. And now people buy and use it in per- fect confidence that it will do what it claims; that it will cure every form, every trace of catarrh. Read what Mrs. I. F. Williamson, 24 Spring street, South Nor-walk, says: “ I got a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, for my daughter Kitty, who has been troubled quite badly with ca- tarrh, and she finds that it has helped her very much. My sister has also used the medicine with most satisfac- tory results and joins me in saying that it- is a. fine medicine.” Catarrh in its fully developed forms isahideous disease, involving decay, filth and actual rottenness, with most ofi'ensive odors in the very seat of the organs of taste and smell; firmly fixed there, it begins to attack the membrane lining of the' passages leading to the lungs or the stomach; resulting either in consumption, or what is often called dyspepsia. It is really catarrh of the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys and various internal passages. California Catarrh Cure will cure all forms of ca- tarrh, and will check even incipient consumption.

EVENTS FOR THIS WEEK Courtney’s Cautious Statement About Cor- nell —— Columbia and Pennsylvania Crews In Good Shape—Harvard -Will Have Lehmann Next Year., Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 28.——Coach Charles Courtney of the successful Cor- nell crew was asked last evening whether because his crew had defeat- ed Yale and Harvard he believed that it could be possible for Pennsylvania or Columbia to outrow them the com- ing week. His answer, made carefully, was full of suggestion. He said; “I have seen the Pennsylvania crgws on the water. They are rowing fast. I have not seen Columbia, but Columbia. has won races and smashed records. There is every possibility open to good crews.” Mr. Courtney’s answer opens the door of a curious situatioh in American aquatics still wider than did the defeat of Yale and Harvard Friday last. Yale concluded before Friday’s race was scheduled to again adopt exclu— siveness as her programme and row only with Harvard hereafter. It is con- ceded on all hands that Cornell must now be recognized, but just how is the question that vexes. Professor Wheel- er, the mentor of Cornell in athletics, says that Yale and Harvard must ap— ply to Cornell to come in the contest and that Cornell should not have to re . quest admission. He believes that any attempt upon the part of Yale and Harvard to be exclusive will be con- demned by the public as not being a fair test. Cornell will not at Yale or Harvard’s suggestion enter an agree— ment to confine her rowing competition with those two colleges. It is an important matter of fact tha' next year not only will she row Colum- bia and Pennsylvania, but also the University of Wisconsin and probably a crew from. the Naval academy at An- can all BACINGI napolis. This reaches a five cornered contest that will undoubtedly be the most interesting acquatic event in the country, and the question is, “Can Yale and Harvard afford to refuse to come into it?” The contests of this week, especially the varsity race on Friday, are there— fore of the highest importance. If Co- lumbia or Pennsylvania wins the race, Yale and Harvard will have a harder nut to crack in the line of exclusive ness than the one that now confronts them. Some of the Yale graduates who are here say that the time is ripe for beginning in this country of a general aquatic annual contest, in which all reputable colleges shall be privileged to enter. Harvard graduates here today are highly indignant at Coach Lehmann’s explanation of why Harvard was de~ feated. They say that if the crew was stale it was certainly Mr. Lehmann's fault and not that of the members of the crew. They also say that the state- ment that the crew did not row the Lehmann stroke all through is hardly an excuse, as the race was lost in the first mile, where they did, according to Lehmann, row his stroke. The condition of the Columbia crews is most satisfactory, and the men are improving all the time. Coach Cowles thinks the Ithacans will have gone stale before another week rolls around. He feels that no crew of eight can go through a muscle straining, wrenching pull, as was exhibited by all three con- testants, and be feared by a fresh, hard muscled eight. If another crew or a mixture be their opponents, the Colum- bia. men agree that Courtney cannot work up such another eight for Cornell to place on'the water next Friday. The University of Pennsylvania crew are full of hope, and Coach Ward says the men are in good shape. Although they have not up to this time been look- ed upon as serious rivals of Cornell, there is no discouragement apparent among them. They feel that they have a fighting chance with the Ithacans, and they are going to make the most of it. The programme for the week’s races is as follows: Wednesday, June 30.—Cornell, Colum- bia and Pennsylvania freshman race, at 5:30 p. m. . Friday, July 2.—Co_rnell,Columbia and Pennsylvania varsity race, at 5:30 p. m. Harvard Retains Lehmnnn. Cambridge, Mass, June 28.—Mr. R. C. Lehmann, who coached the Harvard university crew for the big race at Poughkcepsie, will coach again next year. He has been invited by Captain Goodrich to do so, and has accepted the invitation. Mr. Lehmann goes to Eng- land .next Thursday from New York. He will attend the Henley regatta on July 14,_and in the fall will return to America to try his fortune with the crew once more. He has good faith in the crew still. W'hen Mr. Lehmann was asked in re- gard to an interview in which he was quoted as stating that the Harvard crew gave up the stroke he had taught them in the race on Friday, Mr. Leh- mann stated that he had been misquot— ed. The defeat of the crew Mr. Leh- mann explained by other things. He thought the change of climate had a good deal to do with it. He said that in his opinion the crew remained too long in Poughkeepsie to do its best work. Furthermore, Mr. Lehmann emphatic- ally took to himself the entire respon— sibility. He still thinks his stroke is a winning one and is confident that Har— vard can master it and bring victory to itself. Anyhow, he proposes to try again. He says: ' , “I believe the American specimen of manhood is as capable as the English to row the stroke. and whenever I have seen a crew in good Condition row that 'stroke it has’ never failed to win." Mr. Lehmann, in his remarks about the Yale crew, said: “I consider that Langford,”Yale’s stroke, rowed an ideal race. He rowed as near what I consid- er to be the true stroke as any other man, and showed by his spurts in the last mile that the stroke had not af— fected his remarkable powers of en- durance.” ' Show In the Adirondacks.
