(Copyright, 1901, by Trctr Publishing Co.) BERLIN, May 25. (New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) Almost the cntlro private fortunes of emperor William nnd empress and other members of tho royal family of Ocrmany have been swept oway In tho swindles perpetrated by Com mercial Councillor Sandon. Tho opera tions of Sandon suggest tho C20 per cent n year scheme. Ho Is under arrest, and, while tho emperor's legal advisors aro en doavorlng to iletcrmlno tho extent of his tnaJcsty'B losses, court circles anil cafes ring with expressions of admiration at the audacity of tho man who duped tho em peror by tho flimsiest sort ot chicanery. As nearly oh can bo learned, Sandon got away with something like $4,750,000 belong ing to members ut tho court. His liabil ities, including claims of tho royal family, will easily foot up that amount. Ills via Iblo nesctB In money do not exceed $100,000. Ills houses, yachts and stables will prob , ably realize $100,000. So that tho royal per- eonages who huvu bocn mulcted ot their prtvntu fortunes stand very llttlo show of getting oven as much ob ono per cent of tholr loss. His maJeBty Ib bollcved to havo lost 13.750.000 through tho operations of Eanden. Tho empress, whoso private for timo Ih small, Is said to have bocn swln died out of $625,000. Tho emperor, who Is heavily in dobt, has already abandoned eomo of his projects for upending money, at which ho Is an adopt. Ills solo prlvuto fortune now amounts to about $1,000,000 n f year. A largo part of this, however, will bo dovotcd for somo years to como to repaying tho family trust funds swept nway by tho Sandcn failure His brothor-ln-law, tho duko of Schles- Wlg-Holsteln, has bcon Irretrievably ruined, and unless ho can raise n great deal of money, which now seems Improb able, tho duko will bo compelled to con less bankruptcy.

According to tho gossips In court circles, tho omperor, who was u great admirer of tha brilliant Sandcn, wanted to turn over tho entlro Iron Stock fund, amounting to 125,000,000, to Sandcn In tho hopo of In crenslng It twenty-fold. Tho Iron Stock, which In the family fund of tho roynl fam ily, 1b now Invested In Gtltedgocd secur ities and In London nnd New York real estate. If Sandcn had secured control ot this fund ho would undoubtedly havo been nblo to carry on his operations for years without difficulty.

Tho governor ot Potsdam took tho broker to his library nnd for two hours questioned him regarding his affairs. Ho first declnrod ho was entirely solvent and nblo to return to his clients, Including tho royal family, all tho monoy entrusted to him with exorbitant Interest earned by tho money. At tho ond of two hours Sandcn confessed that ho wns bankrupt nnd that tho royal funds had gono with tho money tntruated to him by tho common people. "So you dnred to sprculato with tho sav ings of ray august mistress?" shouted tho governor. Kitiire AVnnteil Twenty Per Cent. "How could I help It?" protested Sandon, 'when uho wnnted from 10 to 20 per cent ton hor money?" "Uut hl majesty said ho never empow ered you to put tho royal funds to any hut legltlmato uses," thundered tho governor. "Woll," said Snnden, "If tho kaiser was tatlsfled with 3 per cent why did ho not buy Prussian consols?

This precaution Is deemed preposterous Inas- much as slnco she was deposed to Algeria sho has never made nn nttwnipt to escape. Seemingly tho queen Is perfectly resigned to her fate. In Algiers Ranavalona's sunny and childish nature made her the greatest favorite among tho population.
