THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1906. PLAIN LANGUAGE USED TO KAISER Organ of German Government Criticises Him With out Stint. SHOULD GRANT AMNESTY National Discontent Because Birth of Grandson Was Not Occasion of Clemency Losing Touch With His People. BERLIN, July 13. (Special.) All Germany is discussing the remarkably bold personal attack upon the Kaiser published in the National Zeltung of Berlin, apropos ot William's disap pointing failure to declare a general amnesty on the occasion of the birth of his grandson. Such plain speaking regarding the person of the Emperor Is unprecedented, and is all the more astonishing because the Journal in question is commonly regarded as the mouthpiece of the government. The Kaiser is grilled for granting the band on the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern "gracious permission" to play a certain parade march on festive occasions in honor of. the Prince's birth, which up to date is the only sign of imperial recognition that "this truly national event" has called forth. The article charges that Emperor William is losing touch with the people through surrounding himself with fawning courtiers, who are afraid to speak their minds and who keep him miserably misinformed as to the real state of public opinion. It is intimated that this practice is becoming a danger to the welfare of the state and must . be stopped. Notwithstanding the well-known dif ficulties which the Kaiser's nature put in the way of persons who attempt to advise him. William Is informed in plain words that the German nation feels affronted because of King Ed ward's ostentatious refusal to meet him, the recent attempt of the Duke of Connaught to steal by German shores without paying his respects to his imperial nephew, the refusal of King Edward's daughter, the Queen of Norway, to accept the Kaiser's invita tion to supper in Trondhjem and the rek of enthusiasm on the part of King Victor Emanuel of Italy as to meeting him. The Kaiser is told that Germans ex pect other recompense for their un yielding loyalty than permission for a yacht band to play a march, which, it is intimated, borders closely on intol erable flouting of the people. AMERICAN GRAIN IN BAD ODOR Germans Ready to Unite With Scan dinavians Against It. BERLIN, July 13. Much interest at taches in the announcement that a depu tation of Danish, Swedish and Norwegian grain Importers is coming to Germany to discuss measures for common action regarding American grain alleged to be Improperly graded. The Scandinavian importers recently adopted the policy recommended by the Congress of Ger man Chambers of Commerce in 1905 of buying American corn only according to the so-called rye terms contract, which makes the American seller responsible for delivery In merchantable condition at the European port. It is said that the Scandinavian deputation will be every where received with open arms. German grain-dealers say Argentine Is rapidly displacing American corn in the German market, because It arrived In merchantable condition, while American corn Is so bad that buyers have lost mil lions of marks thereby.

REVOLUTION" BEGINS IX PERSIA Riot at Teheran Caused by Demand for Parliament. TEHERAN, Persia. July 13. There is a recrudescence of the political unrest among the mullahs and divinity students noticed earlier in the year, and it is caus ing great uneasiness in Government cir cles. The divinity students broke out into active opposition to the authorities yes terday and forcibly released a professor who had been imprisoned on the charge of using seditious language. In an af fray a student was killed and two were wounded. The heads of clergy immedi ately assembled In the great Mosque and Issued insistent demands for the immedi ate granting of the reforms previously promised in January. All the shops except the butchers' and bakers' are closed, the city is patrolled by troops and the Grand Vizier and other Ministers, who were in the country, have hastily returned to their posts. Constant conferences of the authorities are taking place, but the situation remains strained and nothing thus far has been done to satisfy the demands of the malcontents. In January a movement was on foot in Persia to obtain a constitutional govern ment. A thousand merchants and mul lahs suddenly left Teheran, the capital, as a protest against the government of the Shah, and In a neighboring village took steps to establish a representative body known as the "House of Justice," over which the Shah was to preside. The members of this assembly were to be elected by the mullah, tnerchants and landowners, it was to exercise adminis trative and legislative powers and the equality of all before the law was to be proclaimed. Early in February the revolutionary upheaval in Persia had begun to assume a more acute character. The Shah, in alarm, summoned his most trusted ad visers in Europe, in order to consult with them on the best methods to meet the popular movement, and while a constitu tion had not been granted, even on paper. the powerful mullahs were pressing .the advantage they had already gained and were hopeful of attaining their ends. It is understood that the advisors whom the Shah summoned from Europe urged a progressive policy, and the Bablsts, a strong sect of Mohammedans,- exerted strong pressure in the same direction. The question of the official establishment of a representative assembly was thor oughly discussed, and the Grand Vizier was charged with the task ot formulating the plans. The Shah, in a rescript address to the Grand Vizier, laid down as a cardinal principle under the new Ideals of gov ernment the equality of all persons before the law, regardless of rank or Influence. It was also contemplated to establish representative assemblies or "houses of Justice," of a local charac ter in the larger cities of Persia with a view to checking the venality and rapaclousness of the local officials.

NEW YORK, July 13. Melville E. In galls, chairman of the commission which the National Civio Federation sent to Eu rope last Spring to study the operation of municipal ownership passed through New York yesterday, en route to his home In Cincinnati. "All talk," he said, "that all members of the commission are at sea, and that several conflicting reports are to be made are untrue. There will not be the slight est disagreement upon any vital point involved. When I started on this work I was both for and against municipal own ership. When I considered some cities and their conditions, I was against it, but every time I came across a misman aged, greedy corporation I was Inclined to think favorably of it. To say what ray views are now would not be fair to the other members of the Commission." The Commission will make its report in October. Colorado Prohibition Ticket. DENVER, July 13.
