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.

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 wife Just led from the court room hysterically crying "No, no," E. A. 8. 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. For Thirty Years Was Regarded as Social Leader of New York.

CONVICT MONTGOMERY AGAIN 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.
