Although the people of Paris are lways to ae royal . persons in their jnldst, and although the csar as the bead of France's most powerful ally , will be specially welcome, there - are many who fear that it would be-too dangerous to let the Russian autocrat enter Paris proper, where It would be tiext to - impossible to protect him against an anarchist or nihilist attack, and it Is likely that Nicholas will do as he did when he was in France last time no was received Dy the president at Complegrne, but this will be a terrible disappointment to Parisians, who look at him more in the light of curiosity ruier or a, civinxea country.

Accompanied by a fellow-countryman and a Scotchman, Adler left Johannes-' buIUtwn Jre,lr tor tn Zambesi and Nyassaland. Ills companions quick ly gave up the projected Journey, but Adler resolved to go on. He soon found himself in the midst of a hostile popu lation, but after great exertions reached Ukengla, where he engaged porters, in tending to make for Lake Tanganyika and the Belgian Congo. On resuming his journey a band of natives attached themselves to him on the pretext of protecting him, but as they had to be fed the provisions were soon exhausted and the men began to grumble. They demanded meat, threat ening that they would eat Adler if he did not supply them.

Professor Brandl's repeated statement that English Eng lish is not English Is amply confirmed if one listens to the average cockney murdering his mother tongue. The cock ney atrocities have lately come up for discussion In the newspapers, apropos of the foundation- at Hornsey, a North London suburb, of a "Pure Speech ioague."1 deore-e Bernard Bhaw is one of the most strenueus opponents of cockney speech, which he has attempted to trans late into print as it is really spoken.

ENGLAND TO Wi OHCOCKriEYTALK Address the House 'of Commons on Suffrage. j " SUFFRAGETTES PROUD OF HER Mrs. Fawcett's Request to Be Heard at the Bar of Commons. By Lady Jlenry Somerset. (Hearst News by Longest Lused Wire.) London, June II. What we constitu tional agitators for woman's suffrage are most proud of la the request from Mrs. Fawcett, LL. D., and others to be heard at the bar of the house of com mons in support of a petition to remove the electoral disabilities of their sex. We regard it is a triumph in tactics, for it is legal, constitutional and dis tinctly original. We are somewhat weary of petitions, for we have signed and presented exactly 1,684. This may d wen aoing. out it mo we nave grown weary. In 190s we tried a monster deputation to the late premier, Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman. ine deputation, numbering about 150 persons and representing several hun dreds of thousands of women of - all classes and every political creed, was courteously received: indeed the late Sir Henry wss a paatmaater of that -sort answer which turneth away (even feminine) wrath." Xdis Petition. The petition of five ladies to be heard at the bar of the house of commons, the signatories belonging to every political party, was therefore all the more inter esting. In support of their request they had found two Precedents where women had been summoned to the bar mat or Anne Fitznarrts, whose hus- oana wa executed lor treason in lssi, and the ease of Mrs. Clarke, mlntrui of the Duke of York, who. In 1809, waa ummonea " im Dmr or. tne nouse to give evidence touching charges of mal versation brought against the duke. If the house of commons can summon women to the bar for its own purposes, it might very well receive women who are suppliants. Some of the ladles Mrs. Eva McLaren, Lady Knightley, Miss I. O. Ford. Mrs. Fawcett and Mrs. Cooper are known to ma Their lan- fuage was becoming to the occasion, hey ventured to remind the prime minister that they were loyal subjects, good and dutiful cltisens and that their criminal record was less than one eighth that of men. Needless to ssy, the prime minister again refused, gravely adding there was no precedent for women ap- r earing at the bar in support of a petl ion. l . ; The nttmpls) Tratjbt . It Is the simple truth to say that both constitutionalists and the physical force party are all . on the outlook for fresh methods and untried tactics in the great struggle to get a hearing. The present prime minister, Mr. As qulth, is well known to be openly hos tile to woman's suffrage, Mrs. Asqulth Is a woman well filled to play her part as a leader of society and premier's wife. There are several little stories going the round of the press at present dealing with her great personal charm. ..

In conversation with one of the latter she asked, "Are you married?" 'Tes, miss," was Jack's reply, looking her full In the face, "I'm sorry to y I am." .

Downfall and Flight of Count Edgar von Wedel, Personal Friend of Im perial Family Court Chamberlain. By Malcolm Clarke. (Hearst Mews by Longest Leased Wire.) Berlin, June II. Another court fa vorite has gone down into disgrace as a result of the Maximilian Harden rev elations and It looks more as if the whole court society Is honeycombed with degeneracy and moral corruption. The secret Investigation of the private lives of prominent courtiers ordered by the kaiser have resulted in the down fall and flight of Count Edgar von We del, a personal friend of the Imperial family. Count von Wedel, court cham berlain and master of ceremonies at the court of one of the imperial princes, had his apartments in one of the palaces, and it has been found that here under the very eyes of the kaiser orgies of the most scandalous character were held almost every night du-'lng the last two years. As soon as the kaiser received positive proof of the degeneracy of the count he ordered him to move out of the palace and deprived him of all his court dignities. Count von Wedel, who was recently operated upon for appendicitis, gays sickness as a reason for not appearing In court when Prince su Eulenburg's affairs were looked into. He has now suddenly left for Italy and will un doubtedly never return to Germany, al though he Is the owner of several splen did estates. ' That the Judicial Investigation of the affairs of the disgraced Prince xu Eu lenburg's past life is no sham and that there is to be no whitewashing of the kaiser's former friend is proven by the fact that a large number of Austrian noblemen were ordered to appear before a Vienna judge cooperating with the German courts to testify as to certain incidents said to have taken place at the German embassy during the years of 1896-1902, when Prince Eulenburg waa German ambassador to Austria. The testimony, which has not betfn made public, la said to be most damaging to ti he prince and certain high personages at the court of Francic Joseph. The findlna-a of the SDe ecial court of honor trying Count von Hohenau, lieu tenant-general in the German army, are now in tne nanos oi tne Kaiser ana nis removal from the army is looked upon as almost certain. An - article in tha Deutsche Tages seltung. chief organ of the German Agrarian party, has aroused great In dlcnation among Americans here. The paper accuses the American gov. ernment of alvinar out false reports con corning the feats performed by United States battleships to crests the lmpres slon that the American navy is superior to any in 'the world and adds that no sensible person wno Knows anyimng about matters of this kind will believe that the battleship Connecticut, with foul bottom, made a speed of almost 19 knots. It is also Insinuated that the records of the tareet Dractlce of the battleship Pennsylvania were doctored to make it appear that the gunners of that vessel hold the championship of tha world. Americans Know tne vaiue or adver tising, and not even tne government is above using the methods of fakirs," the paper concludes. That ths kaiser desires to make Ger many a first class naval power Is made more plain than ever by the seml-of- Iiciai report oi tne government s pian tor a new naval nort "at Aoenrade: i small town in Schfeswig. at the mouth of the Apenrade firth. The firth forms an excellent natural harbor and Is deep enough to admit sven the largest vessels without dredging. The decision of the German government is based upon the lessons of the com bined naval and military maneuvers of last fall, coupled wltrt tne appeal oi mo municipal authorities, who have offered to pay part of-the expenses, very much against the wishes of the people of the town, wno are mostly in sympainy wnn Denmark, to which country they for merly belonged, and heartily hats any- .

The new naval station, which will be of Immense value to Germany in case of a war with Russia, and which will be known as Prince Helnrlch haven, in honor of the kaiser's seafaring brother, is situated on the Baltic but is only a snort distance rrom tns en trance to the Firth or Kiel ana tne canal which connects the Baltic and the North sea. At Brunsbuttel. at the other end of tne Kaiser Wllhelm canal, a new ana extensive dockyard is being built, with two gigantic docks large enough to ac commodate the largest battleships of the German navy, and the work on these is being pushed with so much energy that the dockyard will probably be fin ished in 1910 or 1911, seven years be fore the date originally set by the navy department, and at the same tints the canal, which is of little or no value to mercnant vessels, is being widened and maoe iwo reel aeeper at a cost or sou, 000.000. Also at the other German naval sta tion tnere is great activity and import ant Improvements are being made, no- taDiy at wnneimsnaven, where two im mense drvdocks are to be finished be fore the end of the year, and at Emden, where a first class torpedo station is being established.

"Wind Is fatal to a successful mili tary review. I therefore study my leeches before ordering one. When the leech swims quickly through the wa ter there will be a wind storm. My leeches also prophesy thunder storms.
