LONDON. Aug. 27. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) Berlin 1 to have a governing
body analogous to London's county council.
This Interesting announcement, which
carries with It a direct compliment to Lon
don, was made yesterday by Frelhcrr von
Hammersteln, the German minister of the
Interior.
For upwards of a week his excellency
has, by command of the kaiser, been hard
at work studying; every phase of municipal
life In London before submitting his schema
for the better government of greater Berlin.
In his rooms at the Carlton hotel the
kaiser's minister expressed the pleasure
and the profit that his visit had given him.
There is a general impression that Berlin
Is the best ordered city In the world, but
In his excellency' estimation It compares
unfavorably with London.
"As you doubtless know," he said, "Ber
lin Is divided Into municipalities in a sim
ilar manner to London. For Instance,
there is a Berlin proper, which Is on a par
with your city of London. Charlottenburg,
which Is much like Marylebonn. and Rlcks
dorf, which might be Bouthwark.
"Now, all these municipalities of ours
are at rivalry with ench other, and often
the warfare between them results In great
harm to Berlin as a whole. ,
"There is not one corimon Interest, even,
say. In the matter of lighting, between
them, and that is a very bad thing.
"I believe It Is the custom In Ixmdon to
abuse the county council, but In our eyes,
though it may not be perfect. It supplies
the common Interests which bind the mu
nicipalities of London together.
"Bo we propose to establish a board of a
similar kind. We hope by this means that
tho greater interests Involved may soften
the political rancor which prevails In our
own civic Institutions.
"I assure you that our municipal coun
cilors often spend hours wrangling over
the political atipcct of a question, and neg
lect the business before thorn.
"That Is not the case here. I hnvo at
tended meetings of the city council, the
London council council, and several of the
borough councils, and have been aston
iHh'jd at the expeditious and the practical
way 1n which the buainesi Is done.
'"I-have also-much admired the Impartial
spirit and tbe genuine desire for the com
mon good that mark the progress of affulrs.
We want more of that spirit and less of
politics In Berlin.
"You have many Institutions, too, which
are superior to ours. For Instance, your
system .of summary Jurisdiction is excel
lent. In London, If a man gets drunk or
Is sumpioned for furious driving, he Is
brought before a magistrate next morning
and dealt with promptly. In Berlin we
often keep a man In suspense for weeks.
"And lot me ask you as a favor," he
concluded, "to make public my thanks to
tho home secretary, the lord mayor, the
commissioner of police, and ono and all
the officials with whom I have coma in
contact. They have been charming. Noth
ing I could aak them to do was too much
trouble for them."
NEW FIELD GUN IS A WONDER
Daclah Invention Which Combines
Lightness vrlth Effective
Qualities.
LONDON, Aug. 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bce.)-The British War office Is be
lieved to be casting envious eyes at the
new deadly Hold gun which Interested the
king during his visit to Denmark.
Both Ida majesty and the prince of Wales,
as well as Lord Roberts, have been Im
pressed with the possibilities of the Danish
Invention, and now that the gun which
the" king saw hus been acquired by the
Rexer Small Arms company, a British
firm, experiments are likely to be curried
on in this country.
The features which commend the gun are
Its extreme mobility, Its rate of fire, Its
lightness for use In the roughest country
and the fact that It can be adopted by any
arm of the service. Cavalry tactics in
Danlah army are being revolutionized by
tbe adoption of the gun. The rate of tire
la joo rounds per minute, and the Weapon
Is so light that can be tulien anywhere,
over a man's shoulder or across a horse.
It Is a multiple single-barreled gun. with
an outer rifle tube encased in a Jacket.
Its weight Is under fifteen pounds and 6u0
rounds can be fired before the barrel be
comes heated.
The Danish cavalry has a gun detachment
of three men to every squadron. One
horseman carries the gun In a, leather
socket attached to the saddle. Knch man
of the gun detachment carries ammunition
and leads a horse loaded with a reserve
supply. Wherever a horse can go, the
gun can go.

LONDON, Aug. n. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) A strange fiah was seen
swimming In the floating dock at Penzance
this week. An attempt waa made to har
poon It with a boat hook, but it broke
away with the hook. After an exciting
hunt it waa hooked in the gills, but it
waa not until It became exhausted that It
could be landed. It took half a dozen
strong men to haul It on shore.
It proved to be one of the finest speci

endeavors to conceal this state of things,
but almost every week occur strange dis
appearances of persons believed to belong
to secret societies which are attributed to
the action of the police
The ill Id laborer In the stati work
shops at 8t. Petersburg are the object of
a particularly active propaganda. A re
volt is feared which might have the most
serious of consequences. Fresh legislation
Is now being prepared at the ministry of
the Interior with the object of preventing
the return of the workmen to their homes
during the harvest and thus averting the
dissemination of their advanced Ideas
among the peasantry.
The Finnish troubles are not over and
yet the government, owing to the lack of
Russian sailors, have been obliged to em
bark Finns on board their men of war.
"It la easy to imagine the feelings of these
men,' who consider Russia to be the enemy
of their country. It Is, doubtless, to this
circumstance that we attribute at least
some of the recent accidents on board the
Russian ships."
It Is well known that the population of
Odessa, which is strongly Imbued with a
revolutionary spirit?- Is greatly excited.
The last strike, by which the town was
aimost reduced to famine for a week, has
made a profound Impression and it Is
feared that there may be a revolt at any
moment. The town of Riga is already In
a state of revolt. On the 4th ult. the gov
ernment of Livonia was obliged tn issue
a proclamation forbidding all public meet
ings in the streets, squares and gardens
of Riga, as well as In places of public re
sort and even In private houses.
In Poland the domestic situation Is
equally disquieting. The prisons are over
crowded with political prisoners and sus
pects. Several persons have been secretly
executed. It Is said here that Russia has
been defeated and that coup d'etat Is cer
tain among the upper classes, as Is a revo
lution among tho masses.
Without, expressing any opinion on the
merits pf the above statement and fore
casts, It Is obvious that their publication
In a well known French Journal must be

VALE THE STENOGRAPHER

Transcribes Any Dicta,

LONDON, Aug. 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) By an Inatrument for which the
claim, is made that it will automatically
record messages and take down letters from
dictation, the occupation of many a com
mercial clerk Is threatened. Tbe "Tele
gruphone"" Invrltes them to contemplate a
lost occupation.
Although the Instrument looks simple
and seems to work easily, the mechanism Is
Intricate, There is a box, on top of which
are mounted two brums. These contain
recording wires, and are driven by a small
motor through suitable gearing and belts.
The box la an electrical engineer's estab
lishment tn miniature, with recording and
obliterating- magnets, switches, batteries,
transmitters and other fittings.
The commercial value of tho Instrument
will, of course, depend upon practical re
sults, which will be far-reaching if the
claim be Justified. Most Interesting Is the
claim that by its use the shorthand clerk
can be dispensed with. Inasmuch ns letters
can be dictated to the Instrument, which
will record and reproduce them. It Is
stated by the Electrical Magazine that the
sounds reproduced are exceptionally clear
and free from "scrape."
When connection Is made with the or
dinary telephone, conversations can, it Is
said, be automatically recorded by the in

to any number of receiving stations that
are in communication with it.
WHITE BREADCRAZE A MENACE
Authority on Diet Sonnda Alarm Over
Sew Prooeja of Bleaching
Flonr.
LONDON. Aug. 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) White bread Is declared to be a
danger to the community. Many millers,
according to a writer in Times, are Intro
ducing expensive machinery for the pur
rose of bleachlnrj flour by ozone and nitrous
acid In order to make an artificially white
bread and enable grain to be used which
would otherwise give a darker color to the
flour.
"It Is an extremely serious mntter," said
Mr. T. R. Allison, the well known authority
on diet. "The stamina of the nation
Is
certainly threatened by the croze of whit
bread. If you take awuy the offal that is,
the 'seconds' and the bran In order to
make white bread, you lose the lime salts
and the phosphates which are absolutely
essential to bone-making."
The new process for bleaching flour waa
well known to Mr. Finch of the Baker's
Record. He differs from the view ex
pressed by Mr. Allinson.
"It is nonsense to say that tbe process
rlestroys the nutritive quality of the
bread." tie said. "The very thing claimed
for the process Is that certain nutritive
parts hitherto lost are actually recovered."
MCTCR CARS FOR USE IN WAR

LONDON. Aug. 27.-(8peelal Cablegram
to The Bee.) A novel experiment waa tried
at Sway Camp, Hampahlro, by the Second
.oiidon rifle volunteers. During fleld day
operations a Maxim gun and tripod, to
gether with sufficient men to work the gun,
were placed In a motor car and were driven
to tho scene of action.
Traveling at the rute of twenty miles an
hour, they were able to tuke part In the
action at various points. On one occasion,
having arrived at a railway bridge, the men
carried parta of the gun to the top of the
I nk thirty feet high, put the gun together
and were In action In one and a half
minutes.
Determined attempt made to capture th
gun was fulled by the gunners dismantling
It, placing it In the motor car, ruahlng at
a lightning rat to a fresh poaltlon and
turning the gun on the enemy' rear. o
putting them out of action.

PARIS, August 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) A pathetic story of how an in
tended reconciliation between the crown
prince of Saxony nnd his divorced wife,
Princess Louise, was frustrated at the lust
moment by the sudden whim of tho old
king of Saxony. Is told by the special cor
respondent in Hungary of the Petit Tnrl
slen. The account comes from Tatrafured,
a pretty summer resort In the district of
Kassa.
For a long time past the crown prince
has ardently desired a reconciliation with
his divorced wife and as n result of ne-
l gntiations carried, on last spring It had been
arranged that the pair should meet. The
prince and his five children were to spend
a month at Tatrafured and the prlncesR,
traveling as the countess of Montlgnnsn.
was to visit the sme district, staying at
a hotel In the adjoining watering place.
The meeting was to -take place as though
by accident during nh excursion In the
mountains.
A luxurious suite of fourteen rooms for
the crown prlnje and his children was
taken at Tatrafured for four weeks , and
all arrangements had been made.
Suddenly, at the end of June, the king
of Saxony, for reasons which have not
transpired, but Influenced no doubt by
enemies of the ex-crown princess at court,
refused to consent to the plan. As all
arrangements had been made for the trip,
however, the crown prince decided to take
his children to Tatrafured and pass ot
least a portion of tho stipulated tlmo there.
Old King- la Obdurate.
But In order to prevent any meeting
taking place between the crown prince and
his former wife the king of Saxony ar
ranged for the entire length of railway
between Oderberg nnd Kassa to be closely
watched by lnrge numbers of police agents
well acquainted with the ex-crown princess'
appearance. If she is seen she will be ad
vised to confine her attention to the beau
ties of the scenery, and will not be al
lowed to approach her children under pnin
of being arrested nnd expellod from Hun
gary. Under these circumstances and to
avoid such a rebuff, it Is thought probable
that the princess, who was recently In
Vienna, will remain away.
The correspondent was able to visit the
apartments at the Grand hotel occupied
by the crown prince and his children. On
the table In the prince's bed room was a
large photograph of the erring but re
pentant princess, and In each of the chil
dren's rooms Is a photograph of their
mother on which have been written tho
words, "Meine llebe mamma" (My dear
mamma).
From one of tho prlnces dependants
the correspondent learned that every even
ing the crown prince and his children kneel
together before the princess' photograph
and the little ones repeat after him the
following prayer: "Lleber Oott, gleb uns
unsere mamma zuruck" (Dear God give us
back our mamma).
The crown prince, who was Rtnylng under
the title of the Baron von Rrchwltz. left
for Dresden on Saturday with an officer
of his suite, his children being left be
hind at Tatrafured.
SMALLER SHIPS ARF IN FAVOR
British Naval Men Tin Not Like the
Battleships of Kxtraor-dlnm-y
Size.
LONDON, Aug. 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Dockyard and naval circles at
Plymouth have received with astonishment
tbe announcement of tho secretary to the
admiralty In the house of commons that
the new Lord Nelson battleships are to be
of 1H 600 tons displacement.
"Too big," is the general criticism.
So long ago as September, after the tor
pedo trials In connection with II. M. 8.
Belllsle at Portsmouth, it waa predicted In
high naval circles that the Important les
sons taught by these experiments would
lead to the production of smaller battle
ships. When the latest leviathan plans
were voted. It was known that Mr. Philip
Watts, the director of naval construstlon,
had received Instruction to keep down
naval displacement as low as possible con
sistent with the attainment of the standard
of fighting value he was called upon to
realise.
Among the members of the construction
staff lt is considered that Mr. Philip Watt
haa not Justified Increased size by increased
fighting value. He has sacrificed half a
knot speed against the King Edward class,
and although he mounted six more 9.2-Inch
guns, this has been accomplished by sup
pressing the useful battery of ten-Inch and
ix-lnch quick-firer "which the Edward
carry.
The armor distribution upon the broad
side Is about the same In both classes, but
the present war has taught ua that armor
la futile against torpedo attack.
The be!ef In Devonport dockyard Is that
the design of luc ships will be modified to
reduce their displacement before they are
laid town.

BUENOS ATRES, Aug. 27. (Special Ca

th universities and colleges in the repub
lic of Argentine have gone on a strike In
a body, owing to the new examination reg
ulations Issued by the minister of public,

The new regulation greatly Increase the
difficulty of tho examination and the tu
dent refuse to enter the classes until new

led to riots, atone and other missies being
used. Several constable and boy have

GERMANY MENACES ENGLAND
Command of North Sen May Be tbe
Point Over Which Clash
Cornea.
LONDON, Aug. 27. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Much concern is felt in service
circle at the development of Germany's
naval policy, and It has leaked out that
the admiralty regarded with entire dis
favor the recent visit of the German active
fleet at Larwitk.
The call which this fleet payed to Ply
mouth earlier In July was quite another
matter. It was a visit of International
courtesy and was welcomed accordingly.
There was no ouch explanation, however,
for the Shetland's cruise.
"That," said one naval expert yesterday,
"was a voluntary Invasion by the German
warships, and cur admiralty is quite cog
nizant of the fact that It was prompted
by the naval Intelligence department at
Berlin." -
Letters which have been received from
the Slietlands bear testimony to the ex
treme activity of tho' German offlcrs In
exploring the district. Camera and pencil
were plied with a diligence too zealous to
be wholly artistic.
An ofllcr associated with the British
naval intelligence department said this
week: "We need not be either alarmists or
sensational in realizing the truth. This
country is the real objective of German
naval development. At present it Is only
a silent, strenuousvcompetitlon of sea arma
ments. The glove of velvet Is very plea3
ant, but let us never forget the hand of
iron under 1t. To my mind, and I speak
quIH dispassionately, the Germany navy
will be the greatest menace to this country
in the near future.
"In order to appreciate the true signifi
cance of this Shetland cruise of inspec
tion, it Is necessary to look closely "into
German naval policy. Just as the keynote
to British sovereignty of the sea lies In
the command of the channel, so the ele
me itary principle of German naval policy
la to secure the command of the North sea.
"There are comparatively few bases on
the German side from which a force could
maintain dominant operations. Heligoland
is the best of these, strategetically. On
our own side, owing to a policy which has
so far failed to realize that naval suprem
acy demands operating bases as well as
ships, the whole stretch of our eastern sea
board Is without any efficient rendezvoHS
for the fleet. This, of course, will be reme
died when the new works of St. Mary's
Hope are carried through.
"Larwlck would form an Ideal Btatcglc
base for a force seeking to establish or
maintain command of the North sea. Ger
many may not, Indeed, seriously consider
the possibility of being able to take and
hold the position. But it may reasonably
desire to assure itself as to how far it
would be a practicable point of support for
our own warships, In face of its own pre
arranged movements in the North sea, in
the event of war."
AUSTRALIA FOR RECIPROCITY
England's Bin; Colony Falls In vrlth
the Idea of Joseph Cham
berlain. MELBOURNE, Aug. 27.-(Special Cable
gram to The Bee.) Mr. Wataoa,. tha com
monwealth premier, In tho course of an In
terview with reference to Mr. Chamber
lain's proposed colonial conference, said:
"As regards Australia, I think a confer
ence is not needed until Great Britain de
cides to adopt the principle of preference.
The last federal elections made it clear that
Aostralla favors the principle. When Great
Britain agrees I hope for valuable results
from a conference laying down the general
lines of mutual preferential tariffs before
the separate legislatures discuss details.
For the present, Australia awaits the
mother country's decision."
Mr. Deakin thinks a conference an ad
mirable means of familiarizing the parts of
the 9mpire with each other's standpoints.
He hopes that ono will be summoned soon,
as the sentiment of imperial unity and the
princlplo of preference are so Interwoven
with the business questions, and the whole
matter Is so complex, that It Is necessary
to begin the discussion at the earliest possi
ble date, in order to enable Great Britain
to arrive at a correct conclusion with full
knowledge of the facts.
Mr. Knox, president of the Victoria
Chamber of Commerce, says that, speaking
personally, he Is strongly In favor of a
conference. lie believes that Australln
will send men who nre firm supporters of
tho principle, though unpledged as to de
tails. He considers, therefore, that a con
ference is likely to reach a satisfactory re
sult through free discussion and mutual
concession.

TEAMSTERS MAY ABANDON THE STRIKE
President Shea Ordrra n Meeting; Held
Monday Night for the Purpose
of Voting on Condi
tion. CHICAOO, Aug. M. The conference board
of the allied packing trades held a secret
meeting last night at which a peace pro
posal was formulated. It will be submitted
to tho executive committee and then for
warded to the packers direct.
While its details have been guarded with
the utmost secrecy, It is understood that
It Is simply a proposition to return to work
without prejudice, as the demand for labor
at the plants warrants, and to leave all
questions of wages and working conditions
to arbitration.
In the face of many discouragements,
what the strike leaders regard as gratifying
reports were received from other strike I
centers.
In a signed statement Issued today Pies
ldent Donnelly says: "Our national execu
tive committee convenes here for the pur
pose of framing another proposition of
peace to the packers. If this is refused we
shall meet the committee of the city coun
cil on Monday to demand that a thorough
investigation be made Into the Immoral
and sanitary conditions now existing in
the stock yards. We ore preparing evi
dence to present before the aldermanie
committee" to verify our statements."
Batchers' Council Meets Tonight.
The meeting of the executive council of
the butchers' union has been set for to
morrow night. It was at first intended to
hold the meeting on Monday, but the local
labor leaders have been advised that all
members of the council will be in the city
by Sunday afternoon, and it was decided
to hold the meeting at as early an hour
as possible. It is denied strenuously by
ail officials of the local unions that the
striko will be called off.
Alderman Carey, in whose ward a large
part of the stock yurds are located, tried
tonight to arrange a meeting but failed.
He was Informed by the packers that they
had no lntentloi of holding conferences i
with the strikers at any time. He said
Hint in I-.!- nnlninn thfl Rutrhprs' union I
could do nothing but call the strike off.
He suld he had Intended to tell Mr. Don
nelly this, but apparently changed his
mind, for up to late tonight he hud not
called on Mr. Donnelly.
Tennistera May Abnndon Strike.
"Meet Monday night and take a tote on
conditions," is the substanco of ,a tele
gram which Cornelius P. Shea, chief of
the packing house teamsters, today Bent
to his men in Chicago. This is construed
by some to mean that Mr. Shea desires
his followers to elect whether or not they
shall continue on strike at the stock yards.
Today the teamsters abandoned their pick
eting. Tho members of the national executive
board of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen began to arrive to
day preparatory to holding a meeting
which was called by President Donnelly,
and which it Is generally believed will re
sult In some step looking toward a termi
nation of the strike. Stephen Vail of South
Omaha was the first to arrive.
"No important step of any kind will bo
taken until formal action la taken by tho
board," said President Donnelly.
Serious Riot on Ada Streetj
A serious riot occurred tonight in front
of a saloon on Ada street, kept by Ignatz
Hornatsky. Several men, who wero
claimed by a crowd of strikers to be non
union men, wero pursued along Ada street,
and In order to escape the mob, which
numbered several hundred and was pelting
them with stones, they ran into the saloon.
The saloonkeeper burred the door after
they had entered and refused to admit the
crowd. They at once smashed all the
windows in the place and rushed in and
demanded that the saloonkeeper give up
to them the nonunion men. These men
raid mude their escape by the buck door,
and while the saloonkeeper barricaded him
self behind the bar his wife, Mrs. Stella
Hornatsky, went upstairs and returned
with a shotgun. She commenced to fire a
soon as she re-entered the room, and her
first shot took effect In the shoulder of
Peter Wlsor. The crowd at once fled from
the place, carrying Wlsor with them.
Horratsky then barricaded the doors and
windows to the best of his ability and
the mob, after retreating a short distance,
left two men to care for Wlsor and re
turned to the attack.
Mrs. Hornatsky, with her shotgun re
loaded, took post In the doorway and stood
waiting for the mob, when a wagon load
of police came tearing around the corner
In response to a riot call. The officers
at once charged the crowd and dispersed
It, capturing nine men, who were taken
to the police station. Wisor is seriously
hurt, but not fatally.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 27. (New York
Herald Cablegram Special to The Be )
The pivot of Interest Is changed from
Kwaiig Tung to l.lao Yang.
The military authorities In this city con
slder the Japanese have failed to fulfill
tliclr . boastful promise to accomplish a
"sensational military, acrobatic perform
ance," to show Europe that &' modern
fortress can he taken by assault. Tha
Japanese ure now sarcastically reminded
that Port Arthur Is not a Saragossa, and
that the methods of 1S09 do not apply to a
modern fortress. Tho military authorities
me satisfied that the fortress can hold out
fo ni long time, and If taken it will be
only after terrlblo sacriflco and fighting
Inch by inch.
But a grand military spectacle 1 pro
ceeding around Lluo Yang. The curtain
hus been raised for the last three day
on what is believed will gradually but
surely develop into a gigantic strategical
contest on a vast scale. This spectacle ,
excites overwhelming interest. General 1
Kouropatkln, In an oMlclal dispatch de- '
scribing eventu up to Thursday, seem to
iiidicato that hus onc more renewed his
tactics of lighting and then retiring, which
is not what wus promised, but a lotar
dispatch, dated Berlin, says that after
severo lighting tho Russians aro advancing
and have dismantled thirty-two Japanese
guns. '
vint-ry opinion here holds that all that
has taken placo hitherto ha been lnslg
nlllcant engagements, leading to tbe grand
conflict which may not come for a week
or more. w
General Kurokl, who la to th ot, la
kiiutwi 10 hu.e iou.uiw men. Getierui xsodzu,
w.ho is in the south, has 70,000 men; Gen
erul Oku, lu tho southwest, has 40,000, white
two extra divisions, estimated to number
from 30,000 to 311,000 men, aro making their
way rapidly to tho Liuo Hel river to at
tempt to turn tho Russian right. If th
latter force renders it necessary. General
Kouropatkln will make a big stand.
The departure 1s believed imminent of
six battleships, three cruisers and alz tor
ped'i bout destroyers from Cronstadt for
the purpose of extended maneuver and
trials before sailing for the east.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 27.-The general

Tolunchut and llunchuanpu, repulsing th
Russian advance post. Towards noon tha
attack in that quarter ceased. Before dawn
the Japanese were concentrated against tha

shunshan position. The Japanese force con
sisted of a division and a half with artil
lery. The Russian advance guard retired

there was not obstinate.
The Russlun losnes on the southern front

sians, according to this report, lost about
1,000 killed or wounded. Since noon heavy
rain hud been falling and the stream
