GERMANY HAS CRAFT.
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.

bottom, nnd that all the guilty ones
are to be punished, no matter how
high their standing.

Mr. Bertrand Russell Conducts Pub
lic School for Mothers.
London, June 13 Hundreds of poor
mother in London are deeply grateful
to the Hon. Mr. Itertriind Russell,
who was formerly Mr. A. l'enrsall
.Smith, of Philadelphia, whose school
for mother in this city has proved a
great success. Mrs. Russell com
menced Jier ambition scheme in a
very small way first there wero
nightly classes for mothers who were
allowed to bring their children and
who were instructed by Ir. Dora Hun
ting how to properly feed and clothe
their little ones. These classes imme
diately became very popular, but Mrs.
Russell, who wa often present in per
son, soon discovered that the mothers
themselves were a poorly fed as their
babies and to remedy this she changed
the night classes to day classes and
provided' a substantial dinner at a
price of .'I eeuts to those who could
afford to pay, while those who could
not were fed free of charge.
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.

faithfulness and planned a terrible, re
venire.
While his -wife was performing her
langeroti acts in the flying trapeze

faelii suddenly cut the rope which held

and while he wa holding her head on
hi lap kneeling at her side, Rafaelli

anil then calmly surrendered to the
police.

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.

trouble with rock slide in the moun

Tokio, June 10. A dispatch from

that from June 3 to June 7 the gov
ernment troops hid twenty-six en
gigenient with the insurgent. In
these cnnngrtnent 113 insurgents were
killed and twenty-five taken prisoners
The recent transfer of Corean cab
inet ministers were due to the fact
that during 3 conference of provincial
governor a number of case of negli
gence of the -ovemors to present the
actual fact concerning the attitude of
the Corean government towards the
insurgent were overlooked, also
neglect in failing to correct false nnd
malicious report concerning Japanese
poliry, thus tacitly encouraging the
insurrection. In consequence the
minister of agriculture was trans
ferred to fl'e home department, and
yesterday the new home minister an
nounced the removal of seven provin
cial governors, showing a determina
tion to elT'ct many Sweeping changes
in local officials.
