Store on Bond St., Astoria Bella at Clog VlgorM Berlin, Oct. 22. The assassination of the king and queeiof Servla has Indi rectly come up before the Berlin courts; In a recently published article Colonel GA'Klke, military editor of the Berliner Tagrblittt tisserted that the Servian of-ll.-eii concerned In the murijer of King Alexander hml seriously fulled In their duty toward their klnpr, the commander-in-chief of the army; but at the same time, there existed a hlsher duty of every citizen to the state which even the oath to the monarch could not dis solve, These words were taken up by the Kreus Zeltung- and In the contro veisy which followed Dr. Kropatscheck editor of this paper said an officer like Colonel Oaedke was unworthy of be. long-Ins to the officers' corps, while hold InK such views. Following this statement Col one! Oaedke entered suit against Pr Kropatschek and now the court has rendered a decision In favor of the de. fendint on the ground that Colonel Gaedke's article made a comparison of the conditions existing at the German and Servian courts. The court said "If t Is said that an officer's oath to his monarch Is not above, that of his country such a condition would lead to serious consequences, and , the same rights would then be accorded to a ser geant and a common soldier." ' Interest has been added to the case by a reference published by the Kreus Zeltung to Emperor William's remarks that under certain conditions ' soldiers should shoot their relatives.

New York, Oct. 22 The condition of the Iron trade shows no improvements. says the Iron Age. Old orders are be ing worked off and the gap Is only parl ally filled by Incoming new work. Af fairs are mixed In pig Iron, the baslsj of the whole Industry. The manufac turers of the central west are now dis cussing the question of lestrlctlng the product further to about 40 per cent. The eastern producers have not formal ly voted the restrlctlcn proposed by them, although the leading interests have signed. A number of stacks have ceasid their operations, irrespective of future obligations. Reports are cur rent that there la a chance, with low freight on cotton laden ships, some pig Iron from the iBlrmingham district may be marketed In Europe. But even under most favorable of cireumtsances this could only be done at a sacrifice which a single Interest might not be willing to face. On its merits an export move' ment in foundry pig Iron is impossible under prevailing prices on both sides of the Atlantic. The trade is watching for develop ments In the rail Industry with a good deal of Interest, since it is Understood some of the railroads are conferring concerning the future of prices.
