BERLIN, April 22. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee) What Is probably the most sig
nificant game of diplomacy In recent years
is gradually coming to light as a result o
the German emperor's movements In regard
to Morocco and Count von Buelow'a recent
speeches upon the same subject In tha
Keichstag. Were ft not for the war going
on between Russia and Japan and diplo
matic problems growing out ot the same, it
Is certain that the action of the German
government In reference to Morocco would
have attracted more attention than It has
long ere this It begins to appear as
though Uie kulser had taken advantage of
the troubles In the Orient to push to the
front one of his favorite policies, if not his
favorite policy.
The German policy In Morocco still pos
sesses rauny obscure features, and It Is
only when It Is studied In the light of a
' . neral forward movement that It be
. files even halt way Intelligible.
Peter the Great of Hussia, when dying,
loft one command which has been fol
lowed by his successors up to recent years.
It was, "Never take your eyes oft Con
stantinople." Railroad building In Siberia
and the development of Russian Interests
In the Orient made a Kussla seaport on
the Aslatlo coast appear of supreme Im
portance, "manifest destiny," as the Araer
r ans would say, just as the building of the
iclflo railroads In the United States must
Ultimately have resulted In the territory
west of the Rocky mountains posting Into
the control of the government at Washing
ton by policies of commerce If not of con
quest. For the time being, at least, the
Kusslan government appears to have taken
Its eyes off Constantinople and turned to
ward Manchuria, seeking an outlet to the
sea in the far east rather than attempting
the southerly route by way of he Bos
phorus. And the German emperor appears
to be taking advantage of this lapse in
the traditional policy of Russia by fixing
Ms eyes on Turkey and thje Mohammedan
world.
Many Eyes on Africa.
Much as Peter the Great, when dying,
warned the ruling .powers ot Kussla to
make the Constantinople route to the sea
the traditional policy of the empire, the
latt Cecil Rhodes, the most powerful force
in Africa, warned the statesmen ot Eng
land, saying that the future history of the
world could be studied only by a study of
the map ot Africa, lie saw that the other
grand divisions of the world had largely
passed Into the handa of the various fixed
governments of the earth and that the only
vast domain to be parceled out was In
Africa Itself. Hence It Is that tha English
government is finding many features In
connection with the German emperor's pol
icy in North Africa which tends to com
plicate matters and puzsle the most astute
diplomats. '
If the logic of the situation Indicates
that the German emperor has decided to
become the practical protector of the Mo
hammedan world, then Indeed does the
situation become one ot world-wide Im
portance. In the first place, it would op
Senear to settle for a long time to come all
0Z tnose prooiems growing out 01 luraey
In Europe. We have heard little In recent
years of what was once a favorite theme
of prime ministers, diplomats, writers for
the press, namely, "the sick man." There
still remains a (Jeep-seated feeling among
the Catholics and Protestants ot Europe
that "the unspeakable lurk" ought not to
be allowed to remain on European soil;
that the sultan's followers ought to be
driven back to Asia unci Africa, but this
ellng no longer manifests itself In gov-
mental circles. For this reason It Is
SV- ilu fulp t it t ii f u , thut A 1 u r ot. nrnniirlinn
the popular prejudice against the sultan
making Constantinople his seat of govern
ment are wearing away. It may be taken
for granted that the present generation at
least has not inherited the old crusade,
spirit, and a war against the kaiser as the
protector of the sultan, unless precipitated
by atrocities equalling the Armenian and
Bulgarian massacres of former years, would
not be likely to be popular in any quarter
of Europe.
Umperor Warns Saltan.
The German emperor, well aware that
the Turkish government must be conducted
slung lint: at least seml-civllUed, has un
doubtedly warned the sultan that he must
keep peace and order within his domains.
Bo long as till U accomplished all ot the
Kurupeur. governments cun iind little fault
with the maintenance of the status quo In
ngurd to Turkey in Europe.
The present spectacular performance of
the German emperor In regurd to Morocco,
und a movement as unexpected us It Is
brilliant, is not the flrst Indication of an
entente between the government at Con
stantinople and the government at Berlin.
. Up to the present time the extreme friendli
ness manifested Itself more in terms ot
commerce than in terms of diplomacy.
Gorman traders are favored above the
representative ot other nations wherever
the Turkish flag floats. The railroad con
cessions granted the Germans in the Holy
Land and other sections ot Asia Minor are
only snothor Indication of tha regard of
the Turk for the Teuton. It works out In
a thousand and one different ways. For
Instance, the German lines of shipping are
favored everywhere in the Levant for the
express purpose of fostering German trade.

u n of Turkev. becomes the director and

CONDITION OF PRUSSIAN LABOR
Chancellor Von Boelow Refers to
Change In Relations Retire-en
Employer and Workmen.
BERLIN, April 2:. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) Count von Buelow, the Im
perial chancellor, referring to the bill re
cently Introduced in the Diet for the re
form of. the conditions of labor in Prus
sia, in the course of an Interview this week
referred to the Increasingly Impersonal
character which under modern Industrial
conditions the relations of master and
man, or rather, of cnplt.il and labor.
tended to assume. It was a difficult task,
he said, to restrain the combination of
syndicates of owners on the one hand and
the expansion of trade unionism on the
other within the bounds required by con
sideration for the welfare of the com
munity. But the problem became lnsolu
able If the state was eliminated altogether.
An attempt In this direction, he added,
had recently been mndc by the great banks
and mine owners In the case of the nego
tiations for the purchase of the HlbernU
colliery by the Prussian government. In
his opinion It was the function of the state
to promote order and to extend protect!
In the sphere of the relations between cap
ital and labor as much ns in any other
field.
With regard to the bill. Count von Bue
low objected to Its being described us an
emergency bill, althotiKh the government
announced the Intention of remedying the
miners' grievances under pressure of pub
lic opinion, and although this announce
men was to all Intents und purposes the
condition and the cause of the resumption
of work by those who took part In the
recent great coal strike In Rhenish West
phalia. The imperial chancellor preferred
to assign a more political origin to the
bill -and to ascribe the Interference of the
government to the desire to repress so
cial democratic agitation by putting an
Immediate end to the strike.

TREATING FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Italian Professor Well Pleased with
Experiments In lae of Local
Applications.
MILAN, April 22. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Prof. Levi Is much gratified
with the results obtained from his new
treatment for tuberculosis. The treatment,
which consists of repeated subcutaneous In
jections of Iodine, modified In a particu
lar manner, is said to be almost Infailnble
in curing Incipient cases of consumption.
Hitherto the disinfecting power of Iodine
has never been successfully utilized in
curing Infectious Internal diseases In hu
man beings for the reason that when Iodine
comes In contact with human blood it Im
mediately combines with the alkaline ele
ments to form alkaline lodures, the disin
fecting properties of which are very small.
Prof. Levi has recently succeeded In pre
paring Iodine In such a manner as to de
prive It of this property and to cause It,
In circulation unmixed through the tissues
of the human frame, to come in contact
with the tubercular mlscrobes and bring
to bear all Its curative power against
them.
The professor state that after obtaining
satisfactory results with animals suffering
from tuberculosis he applied his method
to human patients with great success, es
elally In the cicatrisation of spreading
lesions and the formation of new and
healthy tissues. These results were proved
by the examination of many patients and
by autopsies made by a commission of
doctors on animals experimented upon.
The professor has already rerfelved sev
eral offers from foreign countries for his
secret remedy, which he will probably ne
cept In order to make his discovery more
widely known.

was that the Shorthorn breed, which used

taking a prize. Nearly all the awards
being in favor of the Charolals breed,
which will, In art, always be associated

tionably been Improved by crossing with
the Shorthorn, has rarely dnno so well

for the best lot of four oxen. They have
also won first prize In Ave other classes,
and all of their winners have been pure

STOCKHOLM, April 22. (Special Cable
gram to The Bee.) The contrast In the trend
of opinion In Sweden and Norway with re
gard to the question at issue between the
two countries Is becoming more and more
marked. The Norwegian piess now luya
less stress on Norway's claim to perfect
equality within the union, and mure on Its
aspirations towards absolute Independence,
admitting more openly thut the consular
question Is a means to this end. On the
other hand, In the Swedish press and the
public meetings which have been held re
garding tho matter all over the country,
eniphuHirt is laid on the necessity of main
taining the union in the interest of both
countries, and It Is urged that every con
cession should lie made to Norway which
is compatible with a common dynasty and
unity in foreign policy. The dangers of a
rupture seem more keenly felt here, while
they are minimized in Norway, where the
warnings of the foreign press are attributed
to a misconception of Norwegian aspira
tions. The agitation In tho matter of separate
foreign consuls and the relations existing
between Norway and Sweden continues
without abatement. In a recent Interview
Sven Hedin attacks the position assumed
by Dr. Nansen. He claims that Dr. Nan
sen has given public, expression to the very
narrow view by the Norwegian left, not
adopted by the nation at large. Mr. Hedln
complains especially that Dr. Nansen has
not taken Into consideration the Swedish
view point.
"In proof of the validity of Dr. Nansen's
claim," said Mr. Hedin, "an appeal is made
to the HrBt paragraph of the grundlov
which establishes thut Norway is 'a free,
Independent, undlvldable. Inalienable king
dom,' whlcl. Is an undlsputable fact, but
In regard to which the Immediate following
sentence must not be lost sight of 'that
this kingdom is united with Sweden under
one king.' This exactly defines the posi
tion of Norway within the union, and ,
shows, that this union is a real and po
litical one, not a merely personal union in
the usual sense ot the word. ' Admitting
that the 'rlksacf . captains . na special i
clause In regard to separate consuls for
either ot the two kingdoms, and therefore
constitutes no direct and legal obstacle to
Norway's establishing a separate consular
organization, it must, however, be borne
in mind that tho Storthing of 1814, In fram
ing tho charges In the Norwegian 'grund
lov' rendered necessary by the union with
Sweden according to the words of highest
authority on Norwegian constitutional law,
Professor Aschehoug started from the pre
sumption 'that legations as well as con
suls should be common to both countries.'
This same authority declares. 'The cir
cumstance that paragraph 22 and paragraph
92 ot the Norwegian constitution, where
consuls are mentioned, were left unaltered
could hardly be due to any other reason
than a simple omission,'
Foreign Minister Must Control.
"Still less mus,t one lose sight of the fact
that the very conditions and ralson d'etre
of the union Imply as an axiomatic and In
evitable consequence a common manage
ment of foreign affairs, for, unless this
binding unity exists, all control over sep
arate Swedish and Norwegian consuls, to
prevent their exceeding their competence,
would be rendered Impossible. Sweden has
by no means refused to allow Norway to
establish separate consuls, but It has
throughout, energetically maintained that
the foreign minister should be in a posi
tion to control their acts from the political
and diplomatic point of view.
"In alleging ihat practical Inconveniences
have been experienced by Norway from
this common consular service, especially
since Sweden adopted a pronounced tariff
policy, while Norway adhered steadfastly
to the free trade principles. Dr. Nansen
should have confirmed his words by citing
some example of these practical Incon
veniences to Norwegian trade, resulting
from community of the consular service.
Here in Sweden we have never heard of
any such as having actually taken place.
Dr. Nansen's allegation that 'competition
and strife often arose between the two
governments over consular appointments,
especially In filling more Important posi
tions,' is best answered by the fact that
the minister for foreign affairs has In
variably followed tha principle ot basing
these appointments on the competence and
merits of candidates to a post. Irrespect

HUNGARIAN SITUATION WORSE
King Will Not Recede from Position
and Alliance of People
Is Firm.
VIENNA. April 22.-(Spoclul Telegram to
The Bee.) All possibilities of solving the
Hungarian crisis according to the wishes
of the crown appear now to have been ex
hausted, but no solution is yet in sight.
The king stands more firmly than ever
upon the principle that unity of leading
In the Austro-Hungarlan army shall be
neither sacrificed nor undermined, and that
the extreme limits of compliance with
Hungarian national demands Is marked by
concessions already made. . The ci-alltlon,
on the other hand, though anxious to be

M. de Pzell. wlwls--reported to' have ap

formula of compromise, has left Buda Pest
without achieving his purpose, since his
formula is said t presuppose a certain
elasticity In the royal standpoint. M. do
Szogyany's audiences have as yet brought
no result, and It may be doubted whether
the Hungarians are at present in a mood
to listen to ominous hints of the displeasure
that will be felt In Berlin if the allied

if the commercial treaty Is wrecked
"Roumanla. Bulgaria nnd

Gates Comes Out Whole.
General opinion tonight Is to the effect
that Gates and his friends emerge from the
battle with but little. If any. actual finan
cial loss. Gossip Insists that they effected
an alliance with Armour nnd other leading
traders whereby the Gates party, while
obliged summarily to liquidate May wheat
on an enormous scale today, were neverthe
less fully protected through prior and con
current operations of the allies In both May
and later options. Another view of the situ
ation, according to some observers, Is that
the new grouping of astute speculators, In
cluding the redoubtable Gatos himself, has
merely cleared the decks for a still more
gigantic corner In wheat for delivery during
July. The idea Is thnt the high price here
tofore prevailing for May has Induced a
scouring of the country by grain tradera to
dropping the price 10 cents a bushol today
the speculators, assumed to be In control,
have made It clear that If the country Is
raked over for wheat to bring here, they
mean to buy It at a figure of their own
making. The rushing of the price aown
today. It Is argued, was more drastic ac
tion than was, for months at least required
by the Gates and Armour interests, the re
sult being that they accordingly Jumped
the price back to $1 a bushel.
The Gates party, it is said, had figured
that the movement of wheat to market
Would, bo .practically exhausted before tha

sentative In London and the grant of a
strip of Baluchistan territory, terminating
on the Arabian sea, for the construction of
an Afghan railway and the creation of an
Afghan seaport.
Russia has made repeated overtures to
establish direct relations -with the ameer,
but has on each occasion been given to
understand that Afghanistan was outside
the sphere of Its Influence. The conclusion
of an agreement with Great Britain is a
severe 'blow to Russian diplomacy.

"Dr. Nansen attributes a conflict prac
tically in existence for the last twenty
years to a supposed 'Swedish coup against
which the crown In person, vested with
the care of Norwegian foreign affairs, stood
practically defenceless;' the equilibrium
in the council being disturbed. I may re
mind him, in this respect that, when this
change In our fundamental law was made
In lv5 the Swedish cabinet proposed that
two Norwegian councillors should be pres
ent In the council whenever foreign powers
had to be dealt with, but this proposal
regarding a question which evidently must
be said to concern both countries fell
through In consequence of the Insistence
of the Norwegian government that It
should be decided In an exclusively Nor
wegian council.
"If, as Dr. Nansen seems to consider it
by no means Impossible, a rupture of the
union, which has existed for nearly a
century to the great advantage of both
countries, is to be the ultimate result' of
a failure to come to an understanding In
regard to a control In certain respects of
the separate consuls. It is perfectly clear
where respunsibillty must lie In view of
the eventualities that may follow, the
cons .juences of which are incalculable. 1

Although the report docs not so say It
It believed that Rear Admiral Rojestvensky
Is using tho harbor to clean his ships, to
coal, adjust his torpedoes, clean his guns,
prepare ammunition and receive fresh
stores.
Japanese newspapers continue their un
friendly comment of the French govern
ment over the Kamrnnh bay Incident, de
spite the efforts of the conservatives toward
repression ponding the result of negotia
tions. Poptilnr feeling Is growing more Intense.
The government continues to withhold
the correspondence with France regarding
the affair.
Csar Orders Rnjeatvenaky to Leave.
PARIS. April 221:85 p. m.-The Foreign
office received advices from St. Petersburg
this rnornlmr showing that the Instructions
sent to. Admiral Rojestvensky are positive
and explicit and thut he must keep out
aide of French waters. The nature of tha
Instructions is t-ald to be such that Rojest
vensky must observe them by fully respect
ing French neutrality or else subject him
self to punishment from his government.
Therefore tho officials here feel that France
has succeeded In securing the limit of
what Japan can reasonably ask. The gov
ernment still awaits tho reply of M. Beau,
governor general of Indo-Chlna, upon tha
exact locality of tha Russian squadron
and whether It is within or without French
waters. His absence from his headquar
ters at Saigon may, delay the governor
general's reply, his last telcgrnm showing
that he was at a smnll point south of
Hanoi, the capital of Tonquln.
As to Cruiaer Diana.
Further official advices show that radical
steps have been taken to prevent the Rus
sian protected crusler Diana, enterned at
San Francisco after the naval battle of
August 10, from putting to sea and resum
ing Its active operations. The Diana Is
understood to have been lying recently at
Hnlfong, where its repairs were sufficiently
advanced to permit It to rejoin Admiral
Rojestvensky's squadron and thus add
another powirful cruiser to his strength.
But the French authorities peremptorily
j required tho cruiser to be placed In a condi
tion mHKing ii impossible for it to go to
sea. Therefore such parts of Its machinery,
as are indispt-nslble to Its moving such a
Its shnft and propeller have been removed
thus rendering the Diana Inaffectlve. Tha
officials hire desire to direct attention to
this case as clearly showing the determ
ination with which France's neutrality
requirements are being enforced.
It is officially confirmed that Emperor
Nicholas has personally sent an order to
Admiral Rojestvensky to leave French
waters. This led to reports In the Chamber
of Deputies today that the Russian
squadron bad actually departed from
Kamranh bay. The departure of tha
squadron, however. Is considered Imminent,
but no official dispatches have yet an
nounced that Rojestvensky has left Kam
ranh bay.
Vladivostok Ships Active.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 22. Privata
dispatches say the Russian armored cruisers
RoHsla and Gromobol and the protected

Admiral Ilojcstvensky's vessels In rate ho
achieves a victory. Over Cj men lift St.
Petersburg for Vladivostok by special train
