'1'he German dreams ef a Teu ' ton-ruled Heiland are actively revived by Queen WiWielmlna's misfortune, bera'uao probability once more becomes strong- that a German prluoe will succeed to the heirless Dutch throne unless the people of HollunJ alter the succession by special legislation. Its legal claimants are all German royal ties, rirst In the line Is the widowed young Grand Duke Wllhelm Ernst of Baxe 'Welmar, but aa It would be necessary for him to renounce bis own throne to become kin of Holland he Is considered out of the race. Next are the three sons of Prince Albraobt, the recent of Brunswick, aged respectively 8s, SO and . They are th. kaiser's cousins and aie members of the Prussian royal family. Third In line are the hereditary prince and prlnceee of Wled. The oooupatloa of a foreign throne by a German prince would not, of course, place the land In question, under the suzeranlty of the fatherland, any more than RoumanU or Bulgaria; but in the case of Holland, whose Incorporation with the German em pire has long been forecasted by certain militant elements, a German ruler would undoubtedly ' be regarded aa a first-class guarantee for elOse relationship. Closer Colon Desired. During the last li months there have been specially active efforts on the part of German chambers Of commerce and others to bring about the long-dcslred customs and postal union with Holland aa the first step in the direction of political amalgamation. These efforts have not been discouraged by numerous Indications that the Dutch are not anxious to enter Into partnership with their powerful eastern neighbor. ' There Is, however, a well organised re publican movement In Holland which would . manifest Itself conspicuously the moment the Oraxge dynasty disappeared. Htrr Maximilian Harden suggests that Herr Ballln, the managing director of the Hamburg-American line, may be Prince DueloW'r successor as German chancellor. The writer, relntea an anecdote Illustrating "tlerr Ballln's 'Intimacy with th emperor. Herr Ballln was the emperor's guest at the 'Imperial hunting, lodge" at Hubertustoek. and, after a walk together, the emperor, 'Prlr.ce Duclow and Herr Dallln' entered a r room of the lodge set aside for Herr T'-Illn. The room contained 'a bed, a chest of drawers and one chair. The emperor swur.g himself on the chest of drawers and Prlrce Buelow eat on the bed, while Herr BaUIn occupied the only chair between them. . A long, serious conversation ensued, and then Prince Buelow suddenly remarked: "If any reporter saw us like this we should read tomorrow that Hr Ballln is shortly to have a seat In the cabinet.' The emperor added: "Or that he will be charcellor, my dear Buelow." Herr Harden auggests that Herr Wlegand, the managing director of the North Ger man Lloyd, Is also - a candidate .for the post ef chancellor. . socialist Are Bold. . The boldness of the socialist newspapers la treating of the eltuation In Russia Is striking. One of the most daring recently appeared in' the Vorwarta. Ita tone and tenor may be guessed from the title "On the road to the scaffold." It Is an elabo rate description of the occurrences which Immediately preceded the guillotining of I-ouls XVI, and an equally elaborate at tempt to ahow the affinity, of those In cidents with the events now happening In Russia. "The csar's act can only re sults." says the Vorwarta, ''in unchaining the - revolutionary powers of the people He tins signed the order for hie own de struction, on 'Bloody Sunday" he began to tread the way . to the scaffold; he now proceeds, step by etep, as the successor of Charles Stuart and Louis Capet. HlsTur ther existence burdens not only Russia, tut alt civilised humanity; his existence Is a mockery of all human dignity; he tnust fall." WAR ON CANCER PROGRESSES British Scleatlst's Experience with Mtee Leads Hla K Hee for Care. I .ON DON'. Aug. 11 (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) There la a possibility of the mystery of the terrible disease of cancer being solved at no very remote date. . TMs was hinted at when the res lit of the experiments made during the year by the Imperial cancer research fund were described at the annual meeting by Dr. Bashford, the general superintendent of the fund's laboratory, lie dealt chiefly with the results of the inoculation of 100, 4X4 mice The scientists, he said, are now able to repiotliua ut will In mice all tho features of spontaneous cancer, and to protect asallhy mice from all the eonae j ien oe f Iniculailrt; '.hem with exper -i.ental cancer. "This having been achieved It Is pot too much to hope that the further de velopment of the experimental study of cancer will yield results having a direct bearing on the nature and treatment of the disease," says Dr. Push ford.

A number of Americans re maklns a business to'.tr of freland. Their object Is to lesrn by actual observation nhnt opportunities Ireland offers for 1h Investment of American capital, the belief being that Irlsh-Amerlrnns might share In the Industrial revival. The visit hae been In response to Dr. Douglas Hyde'e Invita tion when he' wne In America. Prof Thomas Taylor, musical director of ' Irish Choral Society of America. Is n. here to study the possibilities of Irlh musi for choral use In America. The psrty com prises over eighty persons, and Is a very representative gstherlng of Irlsh-Amer-lcnns. It Is headed by the Rev. J. K. Field ing of Chicago, who has given the Gaelic league and Industrial movements In Ire land spirited and practical support. Father Fielding originally came from Moonooln, County Kilkenny. Mr. fi. Lahlffe, former city collector of Chicago, also accompanies the party on Its tour through Ireland. Amongst the eighteen votes In the ma jority which constitutes that brilliant young Irish Nationalist, Mr. Thomas Kettle, mem ber of Parliament, Is one registered under circumstances which are probsbly with out precedent. The Rev. Father Toner, Pittsburg, felted States, came all the way from that distant city to register his rote for the nationalist candidate. ' He promptly embarked on the return voyage when that duty was performed without even waiting for the result. He first heard the news of the victory by wlreles telegram far out on the Atlantic. It adds to the stir ring romance of the Incident that Father Toner, Mr. Andrew Kettle (father of the member for East Tyronel. and Canon Mc Cartan. his most Influential supporter In the contest, formed in the old days, when the agrarian agitation had Just begun, a brilliant triumvirate who did battle for the tenants. The Incident Illustrates the en thusiasm and the determination with which this latent election was fought. Up to the last the Orange unionist party fought with desperate tenacity and the leadere of the organization were confident of aucuess. Amongst the, recent visitors to the na tional gallery of Ireland have been M. Du-rand-fltwel, of Paris, and Mr. Roger Fry the newly appointed director of-the New Tork Metropolitan museum. Both these gentlemen are Included emongst the best living Judges of pictures and both expressed themselves as delighted and surprised at the filgh level of excellence attained by the Dublin collection. COMMENT ON BRYAN'S PLAN Glasgow Editor Bays Peace Sugge tlen Was First Made Under Cleveland's Administration. OLA8QOW, Aug. 11. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) The Glasgow Herald, which appeara to take an especial Interest In things American at present, perhaps be cause thousands of Americans are now traveling In Scotland, after expressly stat ing tha.t It has no business to Interfere In the domestic politics of America, saye that Mr., Bryan's actionem; connection' with the International arbitration , or"" mediation In all causes of quarrel whatsoever as pro posed before "the Interparliamentary union will go a long ways towards preventing the revival in the next presi dential election of that prejudice egalnat him which his "Cross of1 Gold" and other speeches excited In 189 and 1900. The Herald then adds that It appears to have . escaped notice everywhere that In fathering the idea of international arbi tration or mediation In this way Mr. Bryan has revived a proposal which but for the Intervention of the United States senate would be binding st the present moment on Great Britain and the United States. Concludes the Here Id: "During Mr. Cleveland's administration nnd Lord 'Salisbury's second premiership. Secretary Plney and the late Lord Pnunce fote had an arhltrntlon treaty arranged which provided for mediation In the case of practically all' kinds of differences be tween Grest Prltsln and the United States. The treaty Just failed to secure the re quisite majority In the senate, partly for the same reason that the senate hung up all Mr. Hay's arbitration treaties, psrtly, no doubt, for Irish reasons. But It ex pressed the disposition of the governing classes of the two nations, and It will he recalled that the Alaska boundsry was set tled by a tribunal similar to that con templated In the Olney-Pauncefote treaty. It ie hopeful, to say the least, to find a democratic nominee for the presidentship serving himself heir to the Mess of Mr. Olney sod Mr. Cleveland, widely as his politics differs from theirs.

These merchants spent a month In investigation of trade condi tions throughout ths sone of Japanese In fluence in Manchuria and In Peking. They made a report to Sir Robert Hart upon their Investigations, and suggested to him that certain 1 trade conditions there be called to the attention of Great Britain. Memorial to Geverameat. It should be understood in England and America that the Toklo Commercial eo clety has memorialized the governor gen eral of Llao Tung, General Baron Osh Ima, on the subject of South Manchurlan trade. The association wants to know Im mediately the full carrying capacity of the East China railroad and has aaked that a large area of land in the vicinity of Dalny wharf be appropriated as quickly as possible to the building of warehouses and other shipping facilities. This sctlvlty on tfie part of the Toklo Commercial eo clety has Inspired the German association of Shanghai to forward to the German minister at Poking an urgent appeal that he put pressure upon the imperial customs of China to establish Its service In Man churlan open towns as soon as possible. Americana and English capitalists are als complaining ' that their Investments are not safe and the following Incident Is cited to show that the rush of foreign money ' will not last long. A very large corporation sought to protect the eastern side of Its business by promoting an el lied Japanese company. It very carefully Invested .000,COO yen, and In 'order to cover the transections it had everything dene In the name of Its .Japanese lawyer- - Then one of the leadere of . the enterprise be came a Japanese subject, a Japanese com pany was formed and the lawyer wae re quested to' draw up the necessary deeds transferring all ths properties from his own -name to that of the new body.

The report on the foreiim trade, of China In 1106 as Issued from the statistical de partment of the Inspectorate general of customs at Shanghai Is out. Mr. H. B. Morse, the statistical secretary, devotee an Interesting paragraph of his report to the question of the boycott against American goods. There hae been a c6nelderable dis location of trade, which appears to have been' more marked In, the minor distribut ing centers, and from time to time a re crudesoence of the agitation Is still re ported from one place or another. Much suspicion has been created, and much hos tility engendered, but the general verdict la that not . much - Injury hae yet been caused to the American manufacturer and American merchant, while another proof has been given of the eoltdarlty of Inter national trade, and the truth of the ob serve tlon that Injury to the trade of one nation or ef one commercial body le certain to reaot on other In relations with them. The final effect of the boycott, however, Mr. Morse conclude cannot yet be seen and the verdict on the movement will have to be deferred till the close of another year, or till an even later date.

His latest letter was in the form of a direct appeal to the pope, and It was printed In all the Eumpeen lan guages St. Peter la supposed te have been burled in Rome, and the great main altar In St. Peters has always been supposed to be over the tomb. The tomb, so far as history tells, tins never been disturbed. "Marceriue" hints, .however, thet at some time It was desecrated and the bones re moved. In a way Interest In the topic has been stimulated by the opening of the tomb of the Etnperor Charlemagne by the eonent of the Germen emperor end the.ChthoIlo authorities and the photographing of rich brocades found there.

One French newspaper maae a canvass and discovered that the members of the party had already received over 1,000 offers of marriage.
