BERLIN , Nov. 17. That the advent of
Prlnco Hohenlohe as chancellor means an
end , at any rate for a time , of the submissive
chancellor regime as It existed during Ca
prlvl's tenure of ofilce , Is now a generally
accepted fact. Every indication Is that Ho-
Iicnloho la determined to have things his
own way , and the emperor apparently Is
'IX inclined to give him a frco hand. In fact
there Is a strong reminder of Blsmarcklan
times , Hohenlohe , and not the emperor , la
regarded UB the man who will pull the stringa
In Germany's domestic and foreign policy
Newspapers of all shades of opinion do no
tire of occupying themselves with everything
connected with the new chancellor , and every
fact , even the moat trifling. Is read with avid
ity throughout Germany. Ono article read by
Prof. Gemckcn , and bearing upon the nev
chancellor , has attracted a great deal o
attention. He adduces evidence to show thai
Dlsmarck , and not Hohenlohe , was rcsponsl
bio for the vexatious passport regulations In
Alsace-Lorraine , and that It was due to
personal Intervention of Hohcnloho that after
the elections there In 1887 , which were so
unfavorable to the government , that the con
stitution was not suspended , and the Relsch-
land again governed from Berlin direct. This
testimony from Prof. Ccfflcken that Hohcn-
loho's past Is not as black as It has been
painted comes very opportunely , In view of
the striking manner In which the prince
lias been received on his return to Strasburg
for a short stay , In order to set the affairs
of his administration completely In order
for his successor. Hohcnloho has been the
recipient of many manifestations of regret
at his leaving his post from various parts of
the two provinces. The prince tomorrow will
be presented a farewell address from Stras-
burg university , and at the same time an !
honorary diploma will ba conferred upon
him. Theo ceremonies will bo followed by
a torchlight procession arrangedby the In
habitants of b.rasburg. The demonstrations
of the people of Strtsburg and of Alsace-
Lorraine , in general afford clear testimony
of the esteem and respect In which Hohen-
loho Is hold by the Inhabitants ot the two
provinces ho has governed , and disprove the
assertions that his rule has been unduly
severe.

PROTESTANTS ARE AQRIEVEn.
Hohenloho will not return to Berlin until
Wednesday next , and until then several
weighty question remain In abeyance. In
Prussia much talk continues concerning the
composition of the Prussian ministry , of
which It Is remarked In many quarters with
n deal of truth contains only three native
Prussians , four of the ministers being Han
overians and the remaining monitors being
a Badcncse and a Mccklenberger , a Bavarian
and a Hes&lan. The new minister of Justice
Dr. Schoenstedt , like Prlnco Hohenlohe , Is a
Catholic , and thls > has aroused anger among
the strict Protestants of the Kreuz Zeltung
Btrlpe.
It Is stated that Emperor William Is workIng
Ing on a one-act opera , the libretto of which
la based upon German mythology. The
work is described as being In the Wagnerlan
style , and Is said to bo almost completed.
Itill be performed for the ilrst time at the
royal palace.
In connection with this newest evidence ot
the emperor's predellctlon for northern
mythology , It Is announced , the Icelanders
encouraged by his majesty's musical efforts
In this direction , are preparing an address
and Invitation to the emperor to visit Iceland 1.
which Is eo rich In mythological traditions.
The emperor's acceptance of this Invitation
however , Is extremely Improbable , owing tc
the absence of telegraphic communication
between Iceland nnd this rest ot the world.

Some stir hai been created by the nrrei
of Ilcrr L u i , a member ut the llelchttai
by order of the court ot Hanover , on the
strength of evidence presented which ap
parently showed the deputy had been guilty
ot perjury during a recent 'divorce trial , In
which he was co-respondent. Leuss was
Stoccker'a partner In founding the Volks
Zeltung , and ho Is now editor tit the Post
of Hanover ,
According to advices received here from
Vienna , the feeling there Is distinctly against
any disposition of the Drclbund to enter
Into an entente with England , as has been
suggested In some circles , of which the the
ory Is advanced that Germany has nothing
to gain by an entente with England , who , It
is claimed , endeavors to thuart her In every
direction where Germany's policy clashes
with the British Interests. The advocates
of this theory also advise the cultivation of
closer relations between Germany and
France. An Interview with a lending Aus
trian politician has been published , which
gives the Austrian view of this matter , and
It is distinctly favorable to the best possl
blo .elation between the Drelbmul and Eng
land. Ho points out that on the Balkan
question Great Britain has always supported
the Drclbund , wblle Italy has received val
uable assistance from Great Britain , whose
action on the Italian question has certainly
been to the advantage of the Drelbund. The
Austrian politician also asserts the colonial
policy of Germany has profited by the
friendly attitude of Great Britain , and the
ti fitly with Zanzibar Is cited as an Instance.
The Interview concludes with a warning
against driving Great Britain from the arms
of the Drelbund , which the German po.lcy In
the recent Congo aftatr was well calculated
to do.
A case having unusually sensational fea
tures Is pending before the criminal court

TAKING HAWAII TO TASK.

SAN 'FRANCISCO , Nov. 17. The steame
Australia , which arrived today from Honolulu
lulu , brings news of diplomatic correspond
ence Indicating somewhat strained relation
between the governments of Hawaii an
Japan. It Is reported that Fuji , the Japanes
consul general at Honolulu , sent a commun !
cation to Foreign Minister Hatch complalnln
of a statement reported to have been mad
byMr. . Thurston , minister to the United
States , In an Interview published in an Ameri
can newspaper. Mr. Thurston Is charged
with having said that It waa the Intention
of his government to root out the Japanese
and Chinese In Hawaii. The Japanese
sul general demands to know whether the
Hawaiian government endorsed the words of
Minister Thurston. In his reply , Foreign
Minister Hatch politely declined to recognize
the authenticity of a reported newspaper
Interview and stated that he did not believe
Minister Thurston had made the assertion
' attributed to lilm. Minister Hatch Is said to
have Intimated , however , that his govern
ment did desire to see European laborers
substituted for the largo number cf Japanese
and Chlneso laborers who are flocking to the
Islands , He also declared that there was
no desire to annoy Japanese laborers now In
Hawaii and that their rights would be fully
protected. The Hawaiian government Is said
to be much worried over the largo number
of needy Americans who are flocking to Hono-
lulu In search of remunerative employment ,
which Is not to be had , and who threaten
to become a public charge. Over 200 of this
class are reported to have arrived during one
week.
, During the voyage of the steamship
Naushan , conveying 600 Japanese from their
native country to Hawaii , for eight days the
vessel was worked by the olllcera only. A
quartermaster started the row. He was not
- steering property and Captain King called
his attention to the bad service. The man
ordered Commander King away from the
wheel. Captain King was thunderstruck at
. the audacity of the petty officer and repri
manded him sharply. At this the quarter
master struck. Captain King. The scuffle
forward soon attracted the attention of allen
on board and there was a wild rush In that
, direction. Several ofllcers turned their at-
3 tcntlon to the COO passengers , doing all pos
sible to prevent a panic. Tie ) crew to a man
came to the aid of the quartermaster. Two
.
. or three had hatchets for arms , others knives
and the remainder bars and clubs. Captain
,
' King and the Britishers who came to his
°
. aid recognized that the odds were to6 great

to think of entering Into combat. No effort
was made to enforce discipline. They crew |

mixed In with the passengers. The Immi
grants were In sympathy entirely with the
mutinous body , nnd leaders among the trav
elers threatened to take up the quarrel
the crew and stood ready at all times to
help the sailors. Upon the vessel's arrival at
Honolulu the mutineers were arrested.

ROME , Nov. 17. The earthquake yesterday
extended over a large area of southern Italy
and Sicily. The shocks were felt sharply
from the provinces of Messina nnd Regglo ill
Calabria. Much damage was done In the
towns of Messina , and a number wore In
jured. The Inmates of the prisons were
panic stricken , mutinied and tried to es-
escape. The prison guards had the greatest
difficulty In preventing the prisoners from
getting away.
Six earthquake shocks were felt at Regglo
during the night , and a number of houses
suffered badly. Several shocks were espe
cially felt at Palse , Semlnara San Procollo
and other towns In the provinces of Regglo.
In this province a great .damage has been
done to propsrty and a number of people
have been killed and Injured , In addition to
those who are known to 'have been burned.
A land slide caused by the earthquake on the
railroad near Bngnara In the province of
Regglo , stopped railroad traffic In that dis
trict. The earthquake shocks were felt here
and on the Island of Ischla.
The earthquake shocks continued all night.
At Messina the first quake lasted several sec
onds. It was accompanied by loud rumblings.
The terror on the part of the people was uni
versal. The author.ties soon perfected an
organization , and , assisted by the militia
succeeded In restoring quiet for the time be
ing. The people remained on the streets dur
ing the night. There were many shocks , the
most severe being about 2 o'clock In the
morning. The populace fled panic sir cken
rushing wildly In all directions , hoping to
escape from danger , and1 offered prayers for
deliverance. In the morning another shock
occurred and the people fled to the ships In
the harbor.
At Reglo tlx shocks were distinctly ob
served. Large sized cracks In the bu'ldlngs
of the town were caused by the earthquake.
The people still remain In the open places
fearing to return to their homes. Military
patrols guard 4Jie town. Six persons were
kill'ed by falling walls.
At Bagnarla many of the Inhabitants were
Injured. The damage reported at Tacchlnl Is
very heavy.
The chief official of the observatory at
Rome says the earthquake was confined tc
the Llparla Islands and the provinces of Mes
sina and Reglo In Calabria. He Is of the
opinion that the entire phenomenon Is closely
connected w.th the volcanic system of Aetna

LONDON , Nov. 17. ( New York World
Cable Special Telegram. ) The terrible mas
sacre of the Armenians by the Turkish soldiers
and Kurdish tribesmen horrified the Eng
lish public , but there has been no such In
dignant outburst from the liberal press as
followed the discovery of the Bulgarian atro
cities , which these butcheries equal by
enormity and magnitude. The World repre
sentative talked with Mr. Hagoplan , an
Armenian and president of the Armenian
Patriotic association , through whom the ac
count of the massacre reached the press.
He complained that , whereas the Dally News
would , not even publish full descriptions from
Dltlla , the Times sought to minimize and
discredit the particulars because the letter
was anonymous and undated. He declared
it would be equivalent to a sentence of death
on the writer It his name were divulged , as
the Turkish authorities would mark him
down. He told the World exclusively that
the account proceeded not from any Armenian
but from an American missionary stationed
near the scene of the massacre , The letter
had not been entrusted to the Turkish post
where It would be certain of stoppage , as
after outrages of this description the Turkish
- officials devoted all their energies to pre
. venting communication with Europe. But for
the courage of the American missionary , who
had at considerable risk sent this account
bsyond the frontier by hand , aided by
friendly merchants , nothing would have been
heard of these atrocities for months.
INQUIRY MAY BE USELESS.
From his personal experience of Turkish
savagery In Armenia , and from confidence
. In the/ source from which the account came
he absolutely relied on Its accuracy. As to
the proposed issue 6f a commission of Inquiry
by the sultan , ho placedno reliance on Its
utility unless conducted uniler International
supervision * and accompanied by-full guaran
tees' that the witnesses should not bo murdered
,
dered afterward by Turkish officials. Other
wise , no one dared give evidence unless at
the peril of his own life and those of re
latives.
Speaking with passionate earnestness , he
asserted words could not picture the indig
. nities and persecution Armenians suffered un
der Turkish governors. They * had sunk to
" despair , because Turkey was permitted for
twelve years to Ignore her pledges to Intro
duce reforms , though these pledges were
. guaranteed by European powers , and by
England most strongly of all. As to the
probability of getting further Information
now that Turkish officials have been placed
on the alert , It would bo more difficult than
ever , as no correspondents would be per
- mitted to enter Armenia. Even the consuls
, were powerless , as when they attempted tc
Intervene , the persons on whoso complalnl
they acted were doomed by their tyrannical
rulers.
GREAT BRITAIN IS PASSIVE.
' The correspondent called at the forelgr

DENVER , Nov. 17. The murderer of Lena
Tapper , the German girl who lived nt 1911
Mniket street ; Marie Contassolt , French , nt
1923 , nnil the Japanese nt 1955 , still roams
nhout the city , unshadowed , and , except by
a tew , unsuspected. That It Is the woik of
a fiend who has a mania and an Insane dc
sire to kill women Is held by most people ns
the correct theory. The police are Inclined to
the theory that the society of Frenchmen ,
known as the Mncquercaux , Is at the bottom
of It , but this Is laughed nt by the French
women , who say that almost every cent
they make Is turned over to the Macqucr
eaux and that they are not going to cut olt
their source of revenue by murdering these
, people on the row who support them.
With the theory that It Is the work of a
fiend , the Investigation was continued In
search for anything like a tangible clue
,
that would aid In the capture of the man
who Is murdering these women , after first
carefully sifting the evidence that sur
rounded each of the murdered girls to see
whether the theory that they were nil
killed by the same person or not.
Some startling facts were learned and
some more pointers , which either show that
the police have been negligent or are so
wrapped up In the theory that the Btncqupr-
cnux caused the deeds to be committed that
they would not listen to anything else.
That there Is no evidence against Demadey ,
who Is charged with the murder of Lena
, Tapper , the district attorney's assistant
seems to admit. In the case of Challoup
the same Is the cuse , while with the Jap
anese murder the police are wholly at scji
for a clue that -wquld be of aid./ . . ; i < B.
A woman on the henceforth "StrnriBier'fl
How. " living only a short distance from the
place where these murders -have toeen , com
mitted , let drop a hint that may lead to
the arrest of the right man. In the room dt
the little Japanese was found a chrysanthe
mum. At the time the question was asked
who gave her that flower. No attention was
paid to the matter and the woman relapsed
Into silence , being afraid to say anything
further for fear that she would bring the
perpetrator of the murders down upon her
next by aiding In giving some clue. No
one ever seemed to think or care who gave
the Japanese , Klku Oynma , those flowers.
If the police ever considered that a cluu
lay behind the little Incident they dropped
It for some unknown reason.
, Armed with a determination to probe the
matter to the bottom , If possible , and see
whether there was absolutely anything that
could be used , a visit was paid to the row
and the women from Nineteenth to Twenti
eth street Interviewed. At first they would
say nothing , except to hoot at the theory
that It was the Macquereaux. The Cali
fornia women , In a way , backed up that
theory , but not a French nor an American
woman on the row believes anything of the
kind and loudly sa > s so.
One woman was found .who started the
reporter on a clue Ihat had been hinted at
iy heretofore , but nolhlng further than hear
say could be hiul to work on , and but a very
poor description , of the man could be ob-
of obtatned. This woman ngaln Inquired about
that flower anil a. = ked why they did not run
down the glvcrof that token. Closer Inquiry
followed to llnd out what she knew about
It , and a. tangible clue waa obtained that
seemed to start a thread of circumstances
to unravel. Whether there Is enough to
convict a man behind that remains to he
seen , but It Is quite probable that there Is
' enough to atari on , and beyond a doubt o
stronger chain than that upon which Illch-
: and Demadey and Charles Challoup were
held.
For the past two years there has been n
German living In Denver who Rooms to have
a mania for women. This man formerly
worked ut one ot the hotels and Is described
ry ; ai being of medium height , sandy hair anil
a sandy moustache. He is a peculiar person
and Is heavy set. Among the women of th
row he Is described as queer. During the
the past two years he has paid the Market
street district regular periodical visits anil
nearly every time has cnirlod flowers tc
some Inmates of HIP row. 1I was some
times well dressed and again he was In his
working clothes. Nearly evtry person or
the row knows this peculiar person and In
most Instances consider him hnimlcpn , bul
there are n few who refused to have nny
thing to do with him. b lng , ns they say
afraid of him. This German left the hole
and has been more or less engaged In florl.

1'AUIS , Nov. 17. ( New York World Cabl
Special Telegram. ) Humors about n prob
able divorce suit in the highest olllchil circles
nro circulated here. As they emanate from
a suspicious source , It Is not fair to more- than
hint that tlio co-respondent Is one ot the leadIng -
Ing ofllclala of tlio country and the Injured
husband a prominent member of the Chamber
of Deputies to whom I'errler owes his election
as much ns to any one else. It is posslblo
that the- scandal may bo hushed up. Th
injured husband said today to your corre
spondent that he feared assassination , In tlio
event of which It Is possible the scandal may
bo burled with him , although enemies of the
co-respondent might rake up the story lator.
A prince , the brother of a reigning1 king ,
and a minister to Trance fell captlvo to tha
charms of Miss St. Cyr , an English dancer.
Ho established her In a magnificent flat. The
prince went to Russia to attend the czar'a
funeral. Defore leaving he forgot to pay the
rent for the flat. Bailiffs sold the dancer
out.
OERMAN AGENTS ACTIVE.
Franco Is suffering from an epidemic of
spies. One of the papers points out the fact
that a similar state of affairs existed before
tha war of 1S70. We have now besides tha
Dreyfus case the arrest of two German ofll-
cers , In addition to many minor cases. Tholr
names are von Kcsscl and von Achoencbreck ,
and although apparently convicted of spy
ing , and found In possession of compromising
documents , protest their Innocence. They
pretend to bo men of wealth and pleasure ,
who arc spending their time here for amuse
ment. Formerly they lived In n ImndsOmo
flat , but were expelled because they could
not pay the rent. During the time they
lived there , It Is reported , that they asso
ciated much with the female companions * of
, JPrcnch officers , probably to got Information' ,
:0h tjtliowhole , - ( hey seem to have enjoyed
themselves n great deal. JV War official
was also arrested In connection with this
case. The government obtaliled valimblo
testimony , but will not expel the officers , but
Intends to continue the case and sift It to tht
bottom.
bottom.HOW
HOW DREYFUS WAS CAUGHT.
The Dreyfus case Is still shrouded In my -
tery : He , after claiming innocence , at last
confessed his guilt , after assorted copies of
valuable documents were found. Minister of
War Mercler , In an Interview , toys Dreyfus
held a subordinate post , and could not hnvo
seen or betrayed very Important documents ,
still it Is generally believed that ho betrayed
all tlio government plans. The denial at
the German embassy to the effect that ho
did not deliver any papers there Is ridiculed ,
because It Is believed he delivered tlicm
directly through an intermediary hero to
the Berlin general staff. An Interesting story
Is told of how ho was suspected. In Parla
there Is a club where dancing and drinking
arc done , a place where spies are soon. This
place being well known , Is watched by staff
officers from the War office. A year ago
one of these officers was surprised to meet
Dreyfus there , and iisked him whether ho
knew the character of the place , and. he re
- plied that ho know very well , but wont
there to practice German so ho would' not
forget It. From that tllno he was watched
until trapped.
Another strangely mixed up affair Is that
of the flrm of Allez , army contractors , who
are accused of furnishing kettles of an In
ferior quality. They maintain that they
sublet the contract and were themselves
deceived. It Is
reported that leading paper
- representatives called on them and extorted
$20,000 to hush up the affair. Of course tha
press Is Indignant. A syndicate of journalists
Intends to Investigate the affair fully.

KANSAS CITY , Nov. 17. Continuing Its
exposure of election frauds , the Star today
published fac-slmlles of a set of figuresori

Four and precinct Twenty-seven of ward

, It Is claimed
the election returns were

the second day following. The Star claims
: the published figures plainly Indicate forgery
- and points out the apparent fijpt that the
: figures four and one which It Is claimed
were reversed In the Twenty-fifth precinct ;
returns were not written by the snmo hand
that wrote the complete returns from thai
precinct. In this precinct the total vote , ac
cording to the Star , was : Ilrcmmefmann ,
democrat. 211 ; Jamlcton , republican , 243.
The center figures being transposed by plain
erasures made the vote read : Ilrcinincrman.
241 ; Jamleson , 213 , A similar system of
alterations , It Is shown , was carried out la
the other precincts whose vote Is questioned !
! The recapitulation sheets , the paper affirms ,
were also altered to correspond and show
plainly having been tampered with. Th
