PETTY POLITICS LEAD TO MUCH HARM German Minister Considers Oonntj Oonnoil a Good Idea. SPENDS SOME TIME INVESTIGATING IT ISapreaee Belief Body Would Aaperltlea Good Central GoTfmlog Soften Present and Produce Results. 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. FISH PUTS UPA HOT FIGHT Monater Specimen of Rare Variety Captured In Harbor of , Prnaauce. 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 mens ever captured of the rare blue suck ing dogfish. It la thirteen feet long, seven feet In girth, and weighs more thsn half a ton. Its mouth ia two feet across and It la devoid of teeth. In place of which the (lab haa fringe of come prickly sub stance.

The government 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 regarded as sympathetic VALE THE STENOGRAPHER Hew Machine Which Automatically Transcribes Any Dicta, tlon. 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 strument, and messages can be transmitted 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 Brltlkh Regiment Uemoiitratei Their Value in' Actual Field Service. 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. OLD KING OBDURATE Puts a Damper on Proposed Reconciliation of Crown Prince and Former Wife. PL"' R MEETING ARE ALL ARRANGED v,.. ky NA' jY i'oot Down on the Proposition at the Last Minute, THREATENS PRINCESS WITH ARREST Can Come to Rendezvous and Look at Scenery if She Wishes. MUST NOT ATTEMPT TO SEE CHILDREN Crown Prince of f.rentlr Desire Tilth Ills Saxony fcald Rcconcl lnt Ion Former Wife. 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. STUDENTS GO OUT ON STRIKE Kow Examination Regulation Cause Trouble In Argentina Republic, BUENOS ATRES, Aug. 27. (Special Ca blegram to The Bee.) The student of all 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, instruction. The new regulation greatly Increase the difficulty of tho examination and the tu dent refuse to enter the classes until new rules are repealed. Here and In other town attempt on th part of the police to induce the pupil to attend the achool have led to riots, atone and other missies being used. Several constable and boy have been aarloualy Injured. 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.

PROPOSAL FOR PEACE Chicago Striking Batchers Agree to Modify Their Original Demands. WILL RETURN TO WORK UNPREJUDICED Questions of Wages and Working Condi tions to Be Left to Arbitration. PRESIDENT DONNELLY MAKES A STATEMENT If Offer is Not Accepted Another Appeal Will Be Made to Council. 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.
