BERLIN. Nov. 19. Emperor Wllllam'i
udden abandonment of his Intention t <
Visit one or more Spanish ports on his re
turn to Germany by sea and his determlna
tlon to go homo by way ot the Adriatic sea
landing at Pola and taking the train to :
Potsdam via Innsbruck , has given rise ti
considerable speculation as tu the real mo
live of his change ot plan. The ofnclal ex
planation gives the health of the emprcs :
as the sole reason for his majesty's raplc
returning , but Is partially accepted here
although It Is well known that the empres ;
Buffers considerable from seasickness am
dreaded the passage across the bay of Dls
cay , especially In view of the change ti
temperature and the prospects of storm ;
weather.
The Impression among leading politicians
however , Is that the slate of home pollllc
and the inapproprlateness of his propoaei
visit to Spain at the present Junctun
mainly Influenced the emperor's decision
The Imperial chancellor , Prince Hohenlohe
represented to his majesty the ncccsslt ;
for an early opening of the Reichstag li
view of the mass of wtirk that body has t
get through and suggested Novnmber 2
or December 1 for fine opening ceremonies
Bmporer William , who Intends to open th
cession In person , thereupon decided to re
turn directly. The ministers have all re
turned suddenly to Berlin and the greatcs
activity Is observable In political circles.
The discussion of the government's antl
ptrlko measure promises to make the sea
rlons of the Reichstag extremely lively.
Emperor Take * No Chance * .
fIt IB suggested In come quarters that Em
jieror Vllllajn'a roundabout detour from Pelt

the Austrian Tyrol , was dictated by a pla
Which , since the assassination of the em
presj of Austria and the discovery of a pla

m * of hls"departure from any place and th
exact route 'to be kept secret until the lac
moment.
The municipality ot Potsdam , where th
Imperial family will reside until the ne' '
year , Is preparing a warm reception fc
their majesties. The burgomaster will rea
an address and the guilds and corporation
will line the route from the station to th
palace and afterward file post the emperoi
The absorbing topic In the German pros
during the last week has been the Llppe
Detmold case. The verbatim publication (
the ' documents which first appeared In
Vienna paper and which were afterwar
copied by the entire German press , enable
the nation generally to form an inlelllget
Idea of Ihe whole niatler. In the verballi
reprint the regent's original letter of cca
plulnt Is shown to have been couched 1
Tory respectful , calm language and that at
parently the cmprror had no reason whai
over to reply by the curt , Insulting tel <
gram forbidding the regent over to addrei
blm In a ulmllar manner again. The cli
cular letter sent by the regent to tt
reigning princess also set forth bU grount
for complaint In a very dignified manne
None ot the answers received to the clrct
lar teller have thus far been divulged , bi
It Is said In diplomatic circles that sever
of the replies received by the regent ai
conciliatory and sympathetic , especially tl
one 'from the prince regent of Bavarl
while the replies of the king of Saxony ar
the grand duke ot Baden counselled moi
moderation.
According to reports from those who a :
near to the emperor his majesty has latel
changed his opinion of the whole case ar
now regrels treating the recent of Llppi
Detmold so haughtily and allowing the ca :
do go trV far oa It has and becoming a m
tlonal scandal. It Is too late , however ,
e top the matter and the Bundcsrath wl
take up the. case at an early opportunl'y.
must deal with two points the regent's fo
tnal complaint against the emperor and tl
protest ot the emperor's brother-ln-la'
Schaumburg-Llppe , against the Diet's adoi
tlon of the law of succession , which di
clnred the regents' lawful Issue entitled
ucceed to < be throne of Llppe.
ltemontrance Aicnlnit BxpaUlon * .
The wholesale expulsions from northei
Schleiwlg , Silesia and Posen are In coi
sonance with the resolutions adopted by tl
Prussian cabinet In spite ot the opposltli
of the Imperial chancellor last summer. Tl
Austrian government has thus far not pr.
tested against the expulsions of Austria'
from.Sllorla and Posen , but the Danish ' go
ernment has , although no reply of any'kli
has been made to Its remonstrances. Tl
Danish press has taken up the matter and
urging the Danes to stop buying Germ :
goods. The Prussian government , neverth
less. Intends to continue the expulsions f
national reasons. The trial of a French sp
Isldor Decoq , for betraying Important mil
tary secrets to France , was opened befo
the imperial court at Lelpslc today. Decoq
accomplices have not been traced , but t !
evidence points to German military , men
being Inculpated. The spy was sentenced
elx years' Imprisonment , to ten 'years' lo
of civil rights and to police up ervl lon. T
public prosecutor said : "Decoq was an age
for a French Intelligence department. "

ST. PAUL , Nov. 19. Late this afternoon
after being out twenty-four hours , the Jur ;
n the case of j ! II. Soutlmll , on trla
charged with selling forged governmen
.trae chocks , returned a verdict of guilty
The swindle Is said to have amounted ti
about $700,000.
James H. Southall wa3 until about eight
een months ago chief clerk in the Unltui
States engineer's office here. In that post
tlon he formerly had charge of Issuing tlm
checks to laborers on the government works
From discounting a tow of those himself , h <
came to handling them for outsiders. Th
profit was largo and the demand great , R
: hat ho took to Issuing bogus time checks
selling them among his friends. New Is
sues of time checks could always be eoli
In time for him lo cash such as came due
so that ho was able to evade discovery to
several years , even though no such tlm
checks had been Issued by the governmen
lor the last six or more years. The Southal
time checks wcro sought not only In thi
city but were handled all over this coun
try and as far east as Hartford , Conn. Wit !
the money he realized from Ihe time check
3outhall was speculating In the wheat mar
( tet and backing a local commission house
Last winter ho lost considerable money li
wheat , and finally , In February , came th
exposure. The amount of bogus time check
In the market was unknown , but the mos
conservative estimate was $500,000 , whll
others placed It at over $1,000 ,
000. It developed during the In
vesMgailon after Southall's arres
that the government officials hod ds !
covered the Irregularities In April , 1897 , nni
bad discharged Southall , but did not revea
his operations on his promise to make goo <
what was outstanding. On this holders o
the bogus paper have claimed that the gov
ernment waa liable and ehould make goo
their losses.

LONDON , Nov. 19. A curious report In
regard to Spain's future government Is cur
rent In diplomatic circles which , from Its
ource , Is entitled to weight. It Is that there
wouM be a change of dynasty but a peace-
ul change. The queen regent la Bald to
bo convinced of the hopelessness of her BOB
ever reigning and has , upon the advice ol
ho emperor of Austria , decided , soon aftei
ho peace treaty IB signed at Paris and
every one now regards this as only a ques-
Ion of dajs to quit Spain with her family ,
aud Don Carlds will bo proclaimed king.
Everything is reported to be already ar-
angcd and the army and clergy are al-
eged to be eager for the change. Accord-
ng to the program Don Carlos , so soon at
hlngs arc running smoothly , win abdicate
n favor of his son , Don Jamie.

It Is learned that on Wednesday last hi
called a meeting of all the Filipinos In ParU
and London to meet him In Paris , when t
committee was formed with the object ol
doing everything posslbfo to Induce France
to recognize the so-called Filipino repub

A telegram was lent to Agulnaldo ask-
ng for Instructions and the following replj
s said to have been received : "Insist upoi
absolute Independence. Otherwise flght u

' The Liberal cartoonist pictures Mr. Jo
seph Chamberlain , secretary of state foi
the colonies , Sloan-like , bestride a gallop
Ing lion and catching up to other patrlotli
orators , with the remark : "I must burr ]
up with my lion. I am a little late. "
In fulfillment of this sentiment thi
colonial secretary has made three speeches
handling the whole field of Great Drltaln'i
forefgn and domestic policies In his custo
mary ungloved and Breezy fashion , whlcl
has brought upon his head a storm of angr ;
retorts from continental politicians.
Their organs remarks that no Englithmai
speaks nowadays without throwing compll
raentfi at the United States and one pape
charges Mr. Chamberlain with becoming re
markably bold , "since Great Britain baa In
duccd America to promise to fight her bat
ties , " to which the Spectator replies :
Wo trust the American public wll
clearly understand that we are not seeklni
n. hard and fast political alliance. We d
not desire to go beyond the acknowledg
mcnt that If we or the United States ge
our backs to the wall the other Anglo
Saxon will be at his side. "
See Nothing bnt Good In America ,
The English newspapers are unable to fin
anything but good in the trend of affair
in the United States. They even discuss th
Dlngley bill in a friendly tone , the Stalls
finding In the acquisition of colonial terri
tory a hope of relaxation of the high tarll
In the United States themselves. It eon
serves that it would be a startling anomal
if the Dlngley tariff was maintained In al
Its prohlbitlveness In the United State
while the new possessions were open to th
trade of the world.
The Statist does not doubt the Unite
States fully recognizes this and adds :
"International cordiality has obtatne
such warmth that the foreboding is otte
heard from the man-ln-the-street that I
may be impossible to maintain It wlthou
cooling. As a politician put It , antagonist !
Interests may be developed which may lea
tna Americans to discover that we hav
always been arrogant , land-grabbln
Drltons and we may remember that we hav
always considered them blatant , offenslv
Yankees. The United Stales-Canadian con
fercnee Is watched with some nervousnes ;
owing to fear that it may put the frlendshi

of York and the czar and tsartta. It hi

this Is a mlsdcscrlptlon of his pos.tlon I
relation to that Institution. Ho was famoi

Barry O'Brien's "Life ofParnell" hi
occasioned considerable stir , for. althout
Mrs. O'Shea-Parnell refused him access
the Irish leader's papers , he got highly li
teresllng statements from Gladstone , Chan
berlaln and various other prominent pe
sons , of their relations with Parnell. Oi
fact brought out by Chamberlain It th
Mrs. O'Shea was personally the Intermedia :
between Parnell and Gladstone during tl
negotiations that led to the Kllmalnha
treaty in 1881 , while his declaration In dea
Ing with Parncll'B career that "all gre
men are unscrupulous , " Is very strong
criticised. T. P. O'Connor has entered st
for libel against Barry O'Brien for a
Irlbutlng Interested motives to him in h
action at the time of the Galway electli
In 1SS5 , when the Irish party was almo
split because Parnell insisted on forcli
Captain 6'Shea forward as a candidate. Tl
general result of Barry 0'Brlon'n blograpl
Is to exalt Parnell at the expense of i
those associated with him , and consequent
has not been too well received by any Irli
section.

PARIS , Nov. 19. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Each suc
ceeding step toward the vindication of Drey
fus provokes the antl-Droyfus press lo frosli
efforts of unscrupulous calumny. Le Solr
publishes a statement by a former woman
servant of Maltro La Borl. Zola's counsel ,
that she heard him say once : " 1 am con
vinced that Dreyfus Is guilty , bui money
can do anything and Iho Jews have It. "
La B rl's contemptuous refusal to notice
this fabrication Solr Impudently Interprets
Into an admission of the truth. Meanwhile
showers of threatening letters are received
by the court of cassation , especially by
President Loew , a Judge of Ihe very highest.
Integrity. They are nil under special police
protection.
For the same reason Madame Dreyfus
llvca In strict seclusion close to Paris ami
Mathleu Dreyfus , acting on the advice of
the profecl of police , never vcnlures out
unaccompanied aflcr dusk. The precautions
taken by the police show clearly that they
have knowledge of the exlsience of a con
spiracy to murder those prominently Idenll-
fled with the Dreyfus agitation , but an
afraid to arrest the conspirators.
Kntcrhasy' * net elation * .
The first monthly Inslallmcnt of Ester-
hazy's revelations Is promised this week
and the commandant atlerapis lo whet the
public appetite by stating in the profaca
the reasons actuating him .for making the
threatened disclosures. He now denies hav
ing confessed to forging the bordereau and
asserts ;
"I have no Intention of trading In state
secrets. This I leave to Dreyfus and Pic-
quart. 1 shall say In this book only what
will be Btrlclly useful for my defense and
shall not Intentionally compromise anyone ,
but have made up my mind to exculpata
myself completely from the unmerited
shame Inflicted upon m-s by politicians ami
their servile magistrates. I shall tell their
Intrigues , .unroll thclc. maneuvers thcli-
abuse of authority. * their turpitude and
prove that I would be better Judged by Iho
scum of our prisons than by many of our
French Judges of today. "
His animus Is specially directed against '
Cavalgnac and General Uoget , "who broke
me and flung me as a living prey to the
pack. "
Esterhazy' motive In Issuing the book In
parts Is perfectly appreciated. Ho hopcu
. frighten the Individuals compromised Into
buying him off , but Esterhazy Is so thor
oughly dlHcrcdlted now that no unsupported
allegation from him could Injure anybody.
Dreyfna Will Iletnru.
The order for the repatriation of Dreyfus
Is certain to bo Issued within a tow days ,
The court of cassation directed nn Inquiry to
bo opened with him by cable with a full
knowledge that such means of communica
tion would prove Impracticable and his re-
turj would become Imperative. That fact
Is now recognized and Judge Loew Is de
clared , with the assent of all his colleagues ,
to have already drawn up a peremptory de
mand on the minister of Ihe colonies for the
personal production of the prisoner. The
court is anxious to a\old any action calcu
lated to embarrass the government , so the
presentation of this demand will bo made
at the most favrrable possible moment ,
probably when Plcquart's Innocence is
proved and the popular anti-Dreyfus preju
dice momentarily checked. The whole situ
ation , however , Is still full of possibilities of
trouble and the conviction ' remains universal
that the acquittal'of Droyfus will bo fol
lowed by a revolution.
