Astounding State of Corruption Dis covered in Navy Yards. Uerlin, June 13. How many million ha the (ierman government been swindled out of by the recently di covered embezzlements iu the imperial hhipyard at Kielf No one dares even guess. How many of the vessels built and equipped in the yards are to bo found to belong to the same class us the battleships built in Russia with wooden pegs instead of steel rivets No one knows yet, mid no one prob ably ever will. The discovery that two high ollicinU of the imperial shipyards, and possibly a number of others, have systematical ly been robbing the government for year ha come us a terrible shock to the (ierman people, who are psiud of the proverbial honesty of their gov ernment ofliciala, and who have always contended that while fraud might be found in America and b'tissia, all Ger man government ollicers would always be found to come up to the lioosevelt standard, anil be aide to show a record a clean a a hound's tooth. It .is impossible to find out at thin time how mauy official are implicated or suspected; the government even re fuse to let it be miif known how many people are under arrest besides the leaders, Ileinrich mid Prankciithal.

He has given orders that the whole a flair is to be sifted to the bottom, nnd that all the guilty ones are to be punished, no matter how high their standing. Humors to the effect that certain high officials in the navy department have received their share of the stolen funds have so far been found to bo unfounded, and are not generally be lieved.

The mortality of children in Eng land is appalling when compared with that of America but thanks to the splendid example set by the two Amer ican, Nathan Strauss nnd Mrs. Rus sell, whose experiment have aroused widespread interest and caused many men and women of wealth .to come forward with offer of kelp, the death rate among children 'less than 18 months of age will undoubtedly go down.

NO NEW TREATIES. Announced in Connection With King Edward's Visit to Russia. London, June 10. Foreign Secre tary Grey s announcement in the house of commons that no negotia tions lor new treaties would be in itiated during the king's visit put an end to talk of a probable triple alli ance between France, Russia and Great Prit iin, but it did not atTcct the dope of those Fnglishmen who arc lesirous for closer relation between these three now ers that important diplomatic consequences will result frotn the meeting in Russia yesterday of King F.dward and l.mpcror Nich olas and their respective foreign ad viser. No secret i made of the fact that the presence of Sir Charles Hardinuc and M. Oswolsky at Revul is for the uirpose of discussing question that i.ive arisen out of the convention which put an end tot he recrimina tions between Russia and Great Rritain over Persia and Tibet anJ Afghanistan, more particularly the present unsatisfactory state of affairs in i ersia. I lit good effect of thi agreement already have been shown in the speedy ending of the threatening frontier war on the Indian border, a situation which in the old days of suspicion and enmity between Great llritain and Kum.i might have led to an Afghan ir. Following- so soon upon the visit to Fngland of President Fallicres of France it is hard to disabuse the pub. lie mind of the feeling that King Ftl- ward s trip to Reval ha also some re lation to Furopcan affairs and as an actual 'alliance is considered impos- ible at present, serious though! i be ing given the suggestion that thi ex change of ivisit signifies that Great Hritam's policy in F.urope in the fu ture will follow closely that of the dual alliance between France and Russia. The foreign office say that too much significance must not be at tached to this visit, but thi is the usual ofiicial policy during such ncgo ti.itioiis. ST. PAUL NOT BADLY HURT.
