BERLIN IS IN UPROAR Fearless Editor of Zukunft Says Em peror's Policies Often Have Been Dictated by Voices of Bead. BERLIN, July 11. (Special.) That the Kaiser, as at one time was Czar Nich olas of Russia, is a firm believer in spir itualism and that his policies, at least at times, have largely been dictated by spirits, is the amazing statement made by Maximilian Harden, the famous ed itor of the Zukunft, whose revelations started the Prince Eulenburg scandal. Harden, who is absolutely fearless and who has never retracted anything he has said, was interviewed the other day, and it was then that he made the statement which now, since it has been published, has aroused such a tre mendous sensation here that people talk of little else. Speaking of the spiritistic atmos phere of the Llebenberg "Tafelrunde," of the numerous seances in which even the late Kaiser Wilhelm took part, Harden declares that these had a very harmfui influence upon the present Kaiser, who has always been Inclined towards mysticism. For a long time the Kaiser always consulted the spirits about matters of state and wore his watch in a piece of cloth which a spirit had left after a seance at Prince Eulenburg's house. Bo far no official notice has been taken of Harden's astonishing state ment, but with the sensation it has stirred up it is almost impossible to suppose the Kaiser could afford not to deny the allegations made. No one, however, believes that the daring edit or will be arrested, as it. is known that he possesses knowledge of certain af fairs which, if revealed, would scan dalize certain high personages at court. Trajan, bound for Constantza, intending to proceed trom that port to Iassy and to travel thence with his wife to Russia. The news of his departure having been telegraphed by spies straight to Yllolz -Kiosk strict orders were issued fhat he was to be put ashore at any coast either at Smyrna or at .Constantinople. A dep utation met the colonel at Smyrna as suring him that the Sultan had pardoned htm, but he refused to leave the boat. At Constantinople the colonel was met by a lieutenant of the Imperial Guard who again assured him that he had been pardoned and at the same time promoted to the rank of a general. Zaur Ahmed Bey, however, rejected the Sultan's gen erosity and refused to speak to the Im perial envoy. After this failure the Turkish govern ment in embarrassment applied to the Roumanian government, asking that the colonel as a political refugee should not be allowed to leave Constantinople on a Roumanian boat. After an agitated stay of seven hours at Constantinople the Trajan was released at 9 o'clock in the evening at the receipt of the following telegram from Bucharest: "By order of His Majesty King Charles the Trajan is to leave, immediately with the political refugee." Indescribable enthusiasm was aroused among the passengers at the receipt of the order vhich undoubtedly saved the officer's life. ROMAN WITCH ARRESTED GAINED GREAT WEALTH BY PRACTICE OP BLACK ART. Police Gain Access to House or Mys tery Through Strategy Make Queer Discoveries. ROME. July 11. (SpeclaJ.) In a modest house hidden in a maze of alleys in a suburb of Perugia strange ceremonies, it is reported, take place and mysterious rites are celebrated. The house was frequented by women of the town and now and again some damsel who had been crossed in love or some wife who was jealous of her husband. The police heard vague rumors of the proceedings, but had not until now succeeded la prob ing the mystery. . A chauffeur, who was accompanied by a groom carrying under his arm a bundle of papers, one day this week stopped his car opposite the mysterious house, the doors of which were closed. The car had apparently broken down. The chauffeur and the groom, who were really police agents in disguise, left their machine and knocked at the door to ask for a pair of pliers. The door was opened by a woman who, suspecting nothing, was going in search of the"de slred implement, when the two men held her back, entered the house and slammed the door in her face. Strange and terrible was the aspect of the Interior. The walls were hung with mysterious symbols, human skulls and crosy bones, bottles, large and small, swords of strange shapes, heads of dogs, cats and other animals, in fact, all the traditional implements of mediaeval witchcraft. A thorough search was made and several books were found containing a quantity of invocations to the evil one. The sorceress, a woman of about 50, who possesses a vast property purchased with the money she had wheedled from her credulous customers, was arrested and carried away in the automobile. Her trial will reveal many Interesting facts about witchcraft in Perugia. KING EDWARD GROWS OLD "o Longer Able to Bear Hardships of Travel. LONDON. July 11. (Special.) That King Edward is no longer as young as he has been was painfully evident judging frrfm the condition in which he returned to London the night before last after a three days' journey to Leeds and Bristol. While Queen Alexandra who accompanied the- King was as fresh end bright as ever, and did not seem to have minded the trip at all. King Edward was barely able to walk from the railroad-car to his carriage and it will be necessary for him to take several weeks complete rest which he will probably spend at Brighton where the air is very beneficial to him.

SAVES LIFE BY FLIGHT Turkish Army Officer Barely Eludes Sultan's Vengeance. BERLIN, July 11. (Special.) Colonel Zaur Ahmed Bey, a Turkish officer who had Incurred the displeasure of the Turkish government, or rather of the Sultan, has lust had a remarkable escape from that country. He embarked at Alexandria on the Roumanian steamboat CARUSO'S LOT NOT HAPPY FAMOUS TENOR BEWAILS PEN"' ALTIES OF HIS GREATNESS. Looks Back Sadly to Days When He Was Care-Free on $2 Per Week. PARIS, July 11. (Special.) Enrico Caruso, who is performing at the opera in his first Parisian season, has been explaining to an interviewer the pen alties be pays for being the most ex pensive tenor on earth and how he sighs for the days when he was less famous. "The man who has paid his money to hear me, the management which pays me J2000 a night," he said "would not forgive me if I were not always In the best of form. Trusted by some, watched by others, I am a ma chine which must never be out of order. But the machine is human and subject to external influences, people forget that. &o tne thought that I may not come up to the mark haunts me continually and tortures me when I am about to walk on the stage. I tell you frankly I was happier when I was earning ten francs a night., I spent seven francs, kept three and knew that my reputation was not ruined If I happened to give a creak. I am always hungry. Before sintrine 1 smoke like a chimney, but I take noth ing but a cup of tea on account of my voice. When I am taking parts which keep hie on the stage the whole time I do not think of it. but when I have lone intervals 1 reel the terrible pangs of nunger gnawing within. "My peculiar form of stage fright makes me the unhappiest man in the world when I am about to sing. In my present position at ne point at which I have arrived I am forbidden to have the least weakness. I am in the case of a man who must, cost what It may. be continually at tne pitch of his reputa tion. FEAR KITCHENER'S RETURN Persons High in Authority Would , Keep Him In Exile. LONDON, July 11. (Special.) There is a lot of intrigues going on Just now with the object of keeping Lord Kitchener away from this country and sending him on another tour of foreign service when his term In India expires in November next. The reason that Lord Kitchener is not wanted here is partly the stern un compromising way he acted in South Af rica during the Boer war which made him very unpopular with many officers of aristocratic families who wanted to treat the war as a picnic and who were made to toe the mark by the commander-in-chief. Another even more serious reason is that there is not the slightest doubt that it Lord Kitchener joined the army coun cil at headquarters as he desires to he would bring to light many things that there is the greatest desire of keeping secret and some high officials would have a very uncomfortable time of it. The influence of several society ladles of the first importance has been invoked in ortler to keep Kitchener abroad and it is now being suggested that he should be offered the governorship of one of the Australian colonies, but it is almost cer tain that he would refuse to accept an of- nce wnere ne would be unable to keep in touch with army affairs.. He is too much of a soldier for that. L OF E OF. TRAGIC CLIMAX Italian Romances Lead to Ap peal to Firearms With Fatal Results. MEANS CHEAPER STEEL Foreigners Forced to Establish Plants in England. LONDON, July 11. (Special.) The es tablishment nf mamr Idpcu .1..! -.1 i Great Britain in order to comply with the new patents act win be one of the Imme diate outcomes of the formation of the International Steel Trust. American and German steel magnates who have been ac tive in forming this immense concern have been interviewed and all agree that it will be only a few weeks before the scheme will be carried into execution. The trust which has its headquarters in this city has already had applications from practically every steel 'manufacturing center in the world and is now actively engaged In deciding upon a plan by which it can arrange an output serviceable for both export and import purposes. The additional capital of the combine will amount to J750.000.000 and the "Iron and Steel Trades Journal" states authori tatively that several of the Russian and German syndicates allied with the com bine are negotiating for the construction of plants In Great Britain which will give employment to many, thousands of men, and will have the effect of cheapening steel generally. INJURED HUSBAND KILLED Shot by Wife's Paramour While In Act of Forgiving Her for In fidelity Marquis An other Victim. ROME, July 11. (Special.) Two beau tiful women of title figure as principal In two sensational love dramas which have occurred in Northern Italy. Count ess Ginevra Bentivoglio. who belongs to a very old . and once powerful Bologna family and is barely 21 years of age. lias been involved in one of these. She was taken straight from a convent three years ago and married to a Masala wine dealer named Lapaglia. The couple uvea in a small flat In Bologna, quite happily, but kept no servant, taking their meals in a nearby restaurant. Their only child had been put out to be raised by peasants in the mountains. A young Venetian magistrate, named Paternoster, came to Bologna, was struck by the Countess' beauty and laid siege to her heart, finally persuading her to elope with him. The Countess, making tne pretense of a trip to Sicily for a pro longed stay with a relative, joined Pat ernoster in Rome, whence, after despatching a batch of letters bearing the Naples and Palermo postmarks, the runaway couple took a train for Paris. They stayed here about two weeks and, as their funds were giving out. they moved to Lugano. When they had no more money the Countess became peni tent and telegraphed her husband that she was ready to come home to beg his forgiveness, and also appealed to a local lawyerfrlend to intervene in her behalf. The distressed hupband. who mean' while had been traveling day and night, scouring Sicily, Rome, Paris, London and Switzerland In search of her, telegraphed that he was willing to forgive and for get. The lawyer friend met the Count ess at Lugano and, despite the delirious demeanor of Paternoster, who threatened to kill her and commit suicide, succeeded in escorting her to Milan, where he tele graphed to the husband to meet her the same evening. Paternoster followed them and lay In wait. No sooner had he caught sight of the unfortunate husband than he assailed him furiously and then mortally wounded him with two shots He was Immediately arrested. The Marchese Corradi, who has been shot dead by the husband of a beautiful society lady, Is the victim of the other tragedy. On rising one morning the hus band caught his wife in an adjoining room in the act of writing a passionate love letter to the Marquis. The wife threw the unfinished missive out of th window to prevent her husband from seizing it, but he rushed downstairs in the street and picked It up. After reading it he went with a loaded revolver to a neighboring hotel and killed the marquis in the lobby. He then fled to the woods, but was caught the next morning, while creeping back to his home. There followed a startling de velopment of the case. Signora Fanny Zaccaria heiself (this was the name of the unfaithful wife) though seriously ill in bed, was haled to prison accused of being an accomplice In the murder of the marquis. The police hint that there is a further mystery in the affair which they cannot yet divulge. A curious feature of the case Is the fact that Mme. Zaccaria was due to ap pear In court at Leece next week in con nection with proceedings she had started against a woman in whose fcompany she had surprised her husband some time ago. It is stated that when Mme. Zaccara confessed her infidelity to her husband he presented her with a small revolver and told her to shoot herself. Mustering her resolution she kissed her husband, closed her eyes, and exclaiming "All is over," fired a shot through the ceiling. Fire Drives 200 Into Street. SEATTLE, Wash., July 11. Two hun dred persons rendered homeless and eight buildings burned and contents destroyed, causing a loss estimated at J60.000, is the result of a fire starting in a vacant frame house this morning. For more than an hour seven fire companies, aided by 67 men with a hydraulic giant engaged in sluicing operations on Beacon Hill, worked to save buildings In the neighbor hood before the flames were under con trol. The occupants made homeless are mostly Japanese, although a few negroes and white persons lived in the burned district. TROUBLE NOT IMPOSSIBLE Followers of Arias Will Be at Polls in Panama. PANAMA, July 11. The electoral situa tion has been much cleared by the with drawal of Rlcardo Arias, the constitu tional candidate for the Presidency, but in spite of this the adherents of Domingo de Obaldia, the independent candidate, have relaxed their efforts but very little and it is planned to elect Senor Obaldia as conclusively as possible. Since the withdrawal of Arias the possibility of American intervention is much more re mote, but even so, the condition of af fairs is critical. The followers of Arias will be at the polls and trouble and dis order are not by any means out of the question. The Governor of the Canal Zone has sent to every town of the Re public Commissioners to watch the elec tions and take note of everything that oc curred. Among these men are 13 Amer ican army officers and as many more employes of the Canal Commission. The sentiment of the country is undoubtedly with Obaldia, who Is supported by the Liberal . party, which counts at least 60 per cent of the population of Panama and half of the constitutionals. Obaldia Is a wealthy cattle owner of Chlrique, son of an ex-President of Colombia and he has in the past been Governor of the State of Panama and Acting President of tha Republic. If the people see that their right to vote as they please is not respected there are bound to be serious disorders, because there are many who would prefer Amer ican occupation. The American authorities are fully pre pared to see that the elections are fair and to put down any serious trouble with energy. ' Two hundred and seventy-six Presiden tial electors are to be chosen and out of this total it is predicted no less than 20? will be out for Obaldia. The electors will meet on August 1 to elect a President." Dallas Ready for Elks. DALLAS. Texas, July 11.
