KAISER'S

Chancellor Von Buelow's Author
ity and Prestige Weakened.
How the Emperor's Recent Interview
Escaped Scrutiny of Foreign Office
Officials Radical, Liberal and So
cialist Journals Utilize the Event
to Urge a Demand For a Ministry
Responsible to Parliament Instead ol
to the Crown Alone.
Chancellor von Buelow's position
at Berlin appears to be almost un
tenable. Far and wide through
out the empire the newspapers of all
parties discuss with varying degrees
of mockery, amazement and regret
the government's explanation of how
what purported to be enormously im
portant utterances of the emperor, af
fecting three great powers, passed
through the hands of the chancellor
and a long line of foreign ollice offl
cinls seemingly without having been
considered by any of them or even
read by most of those responsible for
the delicate foreign relations.
The emperor fully condones Prince
von Buelow's part In the affair, but
tha chancellor's authority and pres
tlge with the country hav been so
shaken that he may again ask the
emperor to relieve him.
All the Radical, Liberal and Social
ist Journals utilize the event to urge
upon the country a demand for a mln
lstry responsible to the parliament
and the peoplo, instead of the continu
ance of ministerial responsibility to
tne crown alone.
In addition to the semi-official ac
counts already published, it is learned
that tho emperor handed the manu
script of the Interview which appear
ed In the London Dally Telegraph and
the nuthorshlp of which is still undis
closed, to Baron von Jenisch, who was
attached to his entourage while the
emperor was absent from the capital
a short time ago, as the representa
tive of the foreign office, with the di
rection to send it to Prince von Bue
low. The chancellor described the note
from Von Jenisch, which accompanied
the manuscript, as referring to the
enclosure as an article, not as an in
terview, so that the chancellor did not
consider It necessary to give it his
personal attention. The manuscript
consisted of a number of small flimsy-like
sheets, the handwriting being
difficult to decipher, and the chancel
lor referred It to Herr von Mueller,
the minister at The Hague, who was
acting as the chancellor's private sec
retary. The latter, In his turn and without
examining the document, sent it to
the foreign office, where in the ab
seence of Herr von Schoen, the secre
tary of foreign affairs, it was read by
the subordinate ofliclals, who did not
attach Importance to its contents, and
it was returned through the proper
channels without further examination
until transmitted by one of the Im
perlnl secretaries to England, where,
as tho Tagllcho Rundschau, one of the
newspapers that Is read In court, ar
istocratic and military circles, de
scribed it, "it emerged gayly into the
world, Infuriating the French, Rus
sians. Dutch and Japanese, chilling
the British, exciting bitterness and
nervous Irritation on the part of our
own people, and undermining our
neighbors' belief in our reliability."
The whole subject is likely to come
up for debate In the rek-hstag, which
will assemble on Wednesday.
BAER SOLE MONARCH OF COAL
Head of Reading System Decrees
What Consumers Must Pay.
George F. Baer, president of the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
lion Co. and the Reading system,
is the man who fixes coal prices, ac
cording to testimony adduced at the
resumed hearing of the government
suits against the so-called anthracite
combination In the federal building at
Philadelphia.
Robert J. Montgomery, general
sales agent of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company, and
other railroad officials, wore examined
by MacReynolds and Todd, special as
sistants to the attorney general. Mr.
Montgomery denied that he had any
thing to do with fixing the price of
anthracite coal.
"Who does fix it?" Mr. MacRey-
nolds asked.
After a moment's pause Mr. Mont
gomery answered: George F. Baer,
president of tho Reading Railway
company, always fixes the price him
self, when he wants to make a
"hange he sends a schedule of rates
to his sales agent. He sent- them to
my predecessor, and when he wants
to make another change I presume he
will send one to mo. I have nothing
to do with the rates."
$10,000 For Two Days In Jail.
Five thousand dollars a day was
the -remuneration allowed Harry
Hughes by a Jury in Judge Brcntano's
court in Chicago for the time
he spent in the county Jail on what the
Jury decided was a false charge of
embezzlement. The decision is
against the Interstate Shirt and Col
lar company and J. O. Eaton, its pres
ident. Eaton swore out a warrant for
Hughes and the latter was placed In
Jail Dec. 15, 1'JOfi. He remained In
Jail two days in default of bonds, and
ultimately was acquitted of the charge
in Municipal Judge Newcomer's court.
He sued for $25,000, but the Jury do
cided that $10,000 was sufficient recompense.
CONVICTED OF BRIBERY.
Contractor Blake Hired Juror to Vote
to Acquit Ruef.
Standing in the shadow of the peni
tentiary at San Francisco, last week,
with sentence about to be passed
upon him and having Been his young

Blake, a contractor, convicted of at
tempting to bribe John M. Kelly to
qualify on the Jury to try Abraham
Ruef, and vote for Ruef's acquittal,
made a full confession In court.
Blake said that after he was arrest
ed on a charge of bribery, Frank J.
Murphy, Ruef's associate counsel,
came to him and promised him $10,
000 and provision for his wife, and
that notes for $10,000 purporting to
be signed by Ruef were delivered to a
third party, to be paid to Blake im
mediately after he was sentenced If
he were convicted of bribery. Be
sides this amount, Blake declared; his
wife was to receive $100 a month
while ho was In the penitentiary.
When Blake was called on to rise
and receive sentence his wife cried
"No, not that," and began to cry hys
terically. She was led from the
room. After motions for a new trial
and arrest of Judgment had been de
nied, Blake said that he had a state
ment as a reason why sentence should
not be pronounced. This came as a
surprise to his attorneys, who were
permitted to withdraw their case.
After he had been sworn and had
stated that he had not been promised
Immunity. Blake said he had been
offered $1,000 by Attorney A. C. New
burgh and F. J. Murphy of Ruef's
counsel to influence J. M. Kelly, a
prospective Juror, to vote for the ac
quittal of Ruef. He at first offered
Kelly $noo. which was refused, he
said, but an offer of $1,000 was ac
cepted. MRS. WILLIAM ASTOR DEAD.

His Peculations In the Two Cases Said
to Amount to $613,000.
William Montgomery, cashier of the
Allegheny National bank at Pitts
burg until the discovery of a short
age In its funds of over $1,250,
000, early last summer, necessitated
closing the institution, was for the
second time last week found guilty of
embezzlement and abstraction of
funds, his peculations In the two
cases amounting to $613,000.
The case Just concluded Involved
the abstraction of $144,000 worth of
the bank's bonds, and as in the first
case Montgomery offered no testimony
in defense.
Every effort has been made by the
prosecution and the. bank's directors
to learn from Montgomery what be
came of the money abstracted or who
besides himself received the money,
but the cashier has steadfastly re
fused to involve, others, and It Is gen
erally believed that It was to prevent
the possibility of others being dragged
into the case that no defense was of
fered In the two cases.

more than a body of what they call

political battles of the future will be
waged over this question, and that
this liquor Issue will be the great issue
until the day when the saloon Is abol
