The rebellion ln the southern provinces, which has been attracting so much atten tion Is really only one of several symptoms of grave disturbances that haave made their appearance during the last half year. The revolutionary party, which alms at overthrowing the present Manchu ruling family and putting a purely Chinese em- nsror on the throne, has recently shown renewed life.

UNIQUE POSITION OF THIS EDITOR Did Not Fear to Criticise Emperor in Early Writings. BROUGHT TO BISMARCK'S NOTICE Led to Friendship in Which Con fidences Were Exchanged. MORE STATE SECRETS REVEALED With Knowledge of Inside Cabals of German Government, He I. aid Foundation for Von Moltke' Libel Suit. BERLIN, June 29. (Special.) The Ger man capital has a cause celebre which promises to be unusually rich In sensations. This Is the criminal libel action brought by General Count von Moltke, ex-mllltary governor of Berlin, against Herr Maxi milian Harden, editor of the Zukunft. Herr Harden wields the most dreaded pen In the German empire and he has In the last few years conquered for himself a position which la unique In the position of German Journalism. He first came to the front about twelve or thirteen years ago. He wrote a series of articles under the ! f tata; wn,ch cted R en"a- tlon ") prl n' ln coun ry where the ! T" lB han1 "J" .1 ldrm a n f tantla wara 1 1 r-i a1inrrt vyi sari T r raHtl Germany people were unaccustomed to read such outspoken opinions. For Herr Harden did not even fear to criticise the kaiser himself. Borne eight or ten years ago he founded the Zukunft, a little weekly review of about thirty pages, ln which he con tinued his outspoken articles. There Is perhaps no Journalist to whom he can tjb compared, except perhaps to Henri Roche- fort, the great French pamphloteer, ln his prime when his I.anterne shook the Second empire with sledge hammer strokes. His outspokenneBS wag not ,onB ,n gettlng Herr Harden Into trouble. He was accused of lese majrste and did a term of Imprison ment In a German fortress. Confidence of Bismarck. But his writings attracted the attention also of Prince Bismarck, then growling at Frledrlehsrhue and pouring out the bitter ness of his heart about the way the kaiser had treated him. He sent for Herr Harden and a sort of an alliance was formed be tween them. The Journalist was a frequent visitor to Frledrlehsrhue and he soon be came to be regarded as an active ex- ponent of tmJ v,pw of the ex.chancollor. ,s no douht that prlnca Bl8marck conn(Ied to hlm many things that gave him the key to-much that wa going on behind the BCenea )n Q,rman jovernment circles. I Bit by bit .Herr Harden became Identified wfth the Blsmarcklan, standpoint and even today he is looked Upon as the best ex ponent of Blsmarcklan traditions, both at home anil abroad. But what the ex-crfan-cellor undoubtedly Initiated him Into among other things was the Intrigue and cabal of th Berlin eourt.

The extent to which these intrigues aro spun was clearly proved some yeara ayo when Baron von Marschal von Blebersteln, secretary of state for foreign affairs, found that the only way that he could sweep away the network that was being drawn around him was to indulge ln what he de scribed as a "flight Into publicity." He had a few obscure newspaper man arrested and put on trial for libeling him and proved that the man who Inspired them, and to whom they went dally for their Instruc tions, was Herr Tausch, the head of a political section of the Berlin police. For ! whom he was working never transpired, at least In open court. The criminal author j Itles did not dare to probe the thing too far. For whom he was never transpired at least In open court.

TOKIO, June 2.-At a Joint meeting of seven chambers of commerce here It was resolved to address the principal chambers of commerce In America as follows: It has always been a matter of profound satisfaction to the people of Japan to wit ness the constant growth of cordial rela tions between our two countries and of our community Interests In the fields of trade and commerce. But since last year the people ln a section of your country have unfortunately acted ln a manner calculated to prejudice the legitimate rights of Japa nese people who have been frequently sub jected to unjust and humiliating treatment at the hands of a lawless element prevail ing there. The right of education has been denied them, their houses have repeatedly been attacked and their property destroyed without the least cause or provocation, Wt, the result that not only have the treaty rights of the Japanese been wan tonly disregarded, but their persons and property also have been exposed to serious dangers. it Is to be regretted that such unfortu nate Incidents should be allowed to occur so frequently, as It Is feared that unless they are speedily stopped the Ill-feeling which our countrymen are now constrained to harbor against the people of s clnglo section In America may eventually have ai unhappy erfeit upon tne development ..i the commercial relations between the two na tions, for while the flitted States is a good customer for our natural products, Japan Is also Increasing Its demand for American exnress our views upon the situation, eon fident In the hope that they will he shared by you and that you will, considering the matter noon the right principles of na- tlonal Intercourse and the mutual adyan- speedily eliminate the present causes or discord and Insure our common prosperity .

The government today promulgated the wine fraud bill which wa passed by the senate last evening and which 1 designed to correct a number of the abuse, complained of by the discon tented wine growers of the south of France. The bill. It Is hoped, will go a long way towards removing the feeling of dl-s content In the recently disturbed districts. The measure requires that all growers make n annual declaration at the mayor alty of their commune of the acreage under cultivation and total quantity of wine produced and ln stock and whether 1 14 Intended for sale or otherwise, the government being of the opinion that when tn possession of this Information It will be possible to keep track of the wine from the grower to the dealer and thus prevent watering or sugaring. Tli measure restricts the market for alcohol produced from grape, and beets, which resulted In the Introduction of a bill providing for an Increase In the duties on petroleum, with, the object of stimulating the use of alcohol for Illuminating pur poses. The finance minister Is also prepared, as an Inducement for the win growers to abandon grape growing In favor of other crops, to remit th land taxes In such cases for five years, The government advises the organization of wine growers to regulate the output and discontinue the manufacture of poor I wine, and urges the growers to assist the government to suppress outside frauds by themselves exposing wholesale buyers who refuse to purchase products unless adulter ated to suit their market.

At the opening of court today In the trial of Former Judge Loving for murder, the arguments of the attor neys began yesterday afternoon, were continued. When Former State Senator W. F. Borksdale arose to speak for tho defense,, every available seat was occupied. Miss Elizabeth Loving has not been ln the court room since she appeared on the wit ness stand. Mr. Barksdale said In part: I know that there Is a simpleton about the plea of Insanity, but the court hod di rected you not to look at It with that view. The evidence In this case Is that the de fendant was on a continuous drunk for eight year, and his brnln had been so Im paired that It suddenly gave way under grat stress. No wonder the light of reasnn fled from hi mind. We are not appesllng to you on the "unwritten." but the law that Is written on your hearts and on the hearts of your forefathers. The plea of Mr. Barksdale was based almost entirely on the preservation of the sanctity of the home. He was followed by Attorney Moore of the defense.

Friedman we a confidential stenographer under Detective McPartland, and, so he testified. It wa part of his duty to recopy the reports of the opeartlves a. they reached the office. Friedman swore that tn several Instanoea the detectives sent out by the agency In behalf ef the mine owners, managed to get themselves elected to high office tn the unions and In a couple ot Instance they carried their daring roles to th ex tent of sharing all the hardships of real strikers and being finally deported from the country with real strikers who went out before tho mllltla.
