Suspicious

Borlln. May 6.—German conserva

At home they suspect every liberal-
minded politician, to say nothing about
th* socialists, of course, of conspir
ing again»i the welfare of the empire,
ajid abroad they are equally determin
ed In suspecting all other nations
of trying to gain political and terri
torial ad\antages at the expense of
Germany. At iweeent their eyes have
for some time been turned towards
Mexico, whld: they suspect the
Tnited States t« tr>in> to annex, when
a PuiiaLle opportunity shall arise, but
as they hare had to admit ihem-
eelves that they would be unable
to interfere even should their suspi
cions come true, they have turned
ilieir atteniion to Morocco, which they

JtOHOS
Only a few days ago the leading
newspaper of this antiquated and
reactionary party, “Die Krouz Zei-
tung,” In an editorial headed “The be
ginning of French intervention." made
the hold assertion that the situation
at Fei. was» really by no means as
rrltical as French and Spanish news
papers state, and that rhere was good
reapon to bf^lie\e that the revolt
among the tribe« was maintained
artiflciallv by I'ronch agrnts. just as
the Mexican rebels
report thereon to the gov«rnmect, so
that their observations may be )ised
for the advantage of trade and industry
in Germany. One of the most impor'^nt
features of this work w'ill be to inves
tigate and report on new Inventions.
It is intended to start by appointing
technical attaches at London and
Washington. It is also proposed to add
technical advisors to the staffs of a
number of German consulates In
towns w'here useful observations can
be made.
Vandals Destroy
Prized Collection
London, May 6.—Burglars, who dur
ing ihe holidays broke into Lenton
Hall, a mansion on the outskirts of
Nottingham, did a great amount of
damage, with the aid of battleaxes
taken from a collection of arms and
armotn’.
Lenton Hall was formerly occupied
by Mr. Powell, manager of the Hum
ber Motor Works. For several months
past it has not been occupied, but a
good deal of furniture as well as old
suits of arnious jand other valuables
had been left in the house.

Boy Selected By
English King
London, May 6.—A smart little lad
who had come all alone from Newcas
tle walked down the gangway of a
steamer and proudly set foot for the
first time in London. He was Francis
Campbell, eight years old, chosen by
the king from hundreds of other En
glish boys to be the '‘King’s scholar”
at the Royal Merchant Seaman’s Or
phanage at Snaresbrook. He was met
by an official and arrived last night
at the Essex home, where, to use the
formal phraze, “the King has provided
for his maintenance and education.”
The arrival of the King’s small pro
tege at the Merchant Seamen’s Or
phanage is the sequel to a tragedy of
poverty that often darkens the lives
of seafaring families. Young Camp
bell’s father was chief engineer of the
S. S. Weybridge. Before he had oppor
tunity to make any provision for his
wife and five children he died from
pneumonia, due to exposure to hard
weather. The widow reduced to the
utmost poverty, struggled bravely in
a hack street of Gates-head-on-Tyne.
The last boy nominated by the King to
the Orphanage had gone out into the
world to make his own living. There
was a royal vacancy, and after going
carefully into the particulars of many
sad cases the King commanded that
little Francis Campbell should be
brought from Cates-head-on-Tyne to
be given, at the King’s own expense,
a fair chance in life.
an intervention, for which that coun
try possessed ro valid mandate either
by virtue of the .Act of Algeciras or any
other agreement.
To sui port irs accusations it pub
lished a ener from an anonymous
German resident, at Tangier, in whi^-h
it was stated that France can at
any moment air up an insurrec-1
tion among the tribes with the help i
of her agents and thus produce a|
situation in which Europeans are aj.*-
parontly and have a reason for int?r-
v#»nfion. This correspondent declar?d

Recognizes His Son.
Rome, May 6.—Count Mastai Ferrett,
nephew of Pope Pius IX. has formally
declared at a registry office in Vicenza
that Fortinato Asconzio, who two
months ago was a arrested in Naples
on suspicion of being a much wanted
criminal, is his illegitimate son and
that he now legally recognizes him as
such.
It is probable, therefore, that the
joker will succeed to a title and es
tates..

Professor Has
Adventure
Newquay, May 6.-Mr. Swinstain a
professor of music at the Royal Acad

Newquay, where he is spending a hol

With a party of friends he visited

« cliffs, which forms a fortune of the
North Cornwall coastline.
Swinstain had ascended the
cliff to a considerable height when his
nerve apparently failed him, and he
was unable to proceed either up or
down . His friends endeavored to as-
sist him, but, finding that portions of
the cliff fell away as they were trying
to reach him, they were compelled to
abandon the attempt.
A message was sent to the nearest
house asking for assistance, and from
there a telephone message was sent
to the Neyquay coast guards asking
for aid. Chief Officer Hunt and coast
guard A. Noad hurried off In a taxicab
in response to the message, carrying
with them cliff ropes and appliances
for rescue.

A large number of performers have

May 12th; special arrangements will
be made for their entertainment and

will present to each lady and gentle

of honor during the run of the Pageant.
The prices of the costumes range

had to be resorted to before he could

The rescue was witnessed by a large
