2 THE DAILY RECORD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1908. W. 761. BERLIN ■ ■ I J H i The Emperor and the Empress will arrive in Strasburg from Metz on the 28th of this month, and will be received with military honours at the Central Railway Station. The reception of the civil authorities will take place at the Imperial Palace. On the following day, at ten o’clock, the review of the troops to take part in the manoeuvres will be held. Great preparations have been made to decorate the streets, and the municipal council has voted the sum of 40,000 marks for this purpose. The Emperor will be accompanied by Prince Bulow, who will be the guest of Dr. Schwander, the Burgomaster of Strasburg. It is currently reported that important resolutions will be taken in regard to the future position of Alsace-Lorraine in the German Confederation. A new operetta, “Vera Violetta,” by the popular composer Edmund Eyssler, has been produced at the Apollo theatre. The libretto, by Leo Stein, is weak, to say the least, and its weakness may ac count for the want of inspiration in the music. However that may be, the work is not one of the composer’s best. It is a one act piece, which opens promisingly, but soon falls flat. The music for the most part sounds familiar, and only in the orchestra tion is the composer’s talent revealed. The per formance appeared to give pleasure to a large portion of the audience, who applauded vigorously. Director Schier had provided very pretty scenery, and his stage management was excellent.—M. O. The winter season in the Gebriider Herrn- feld-Theater has commenced with a great “hit,” viz. a performance of “Das kommt davon,” by the two managers of the above theatre, who appeared in the principal parts. The whole piece is so full of fun and humour and the two brothers, Anton and Donath, played their parts so well that the audience never ceased laughing. Parts of the dialogue are objectionable, but they were toned down by the actors. It is impossible to describe the plot, as scene follows scene in quick succession, each more comical than the preceding one. The brothers Herrnfeld are clever dramatists whose quick inventive wit and smart acting command success, and has done so for years. Both the audience and the company were in good spirits, as was evident by the fine performance of the latter and the enthusiastic applause of the former. THE ATLANTIC CABLE. According to the Tagliche Rundschau, Count Zeppelin received an offer from America some time ago of twenty million marks for his whole under taking, but declined the offer. Professor Trojan was run over by a train at the Storkow station yesterday morning and severely hurt. After receiving first aid on the spot, he was brought to the Charite, where it was found neces sary to amputate part of his left foot. The Pro fessor bore the operation well, and will probably make a good recovery in a few weeks. Geheimer Regierungsrat Wahnschaffe, who is act ing as Under Secretary of the Imperial Chancellory, was on Thursday thrown out of a droschke owing to its coming into collision with a tram-car. He sustained only slight injuries and walked on to the Chancellory. The droschke was badly damaged. A London contemporary comments on the cir cumstance that last Wednesday was the fiftieth anniversary of the completion of the first Atlantic cable between England and America, which was laid by H.M.S. “Agamemnon,” with the help of the U.S.S. “Niagara.” Mr. Brett, Mr. Cirus Field, and Mr. (afterwards Sir Charles) Bright were the three projectors, and Bright was also the engineer, and they had unheard of obstacles to overcome. Not only were there natural and engineering diffi culties, but the Atlantic cable was considered in 1857 to be a wild freak of people who were to be pitied. Scientific men said that it would be im possible to deposit the cable at all at so great a depth, and that even if it were laid it would be a mathematical impossibility to transmit electric sig nals through such a length. Cables had already been laid between England and Ireland, between England and France, and in the Mediterranean, so the three persevered with their task, and at last, on August 5, 1858, England and America spoke electrically to one another for the first time, Queen Victoria and the President exchanging greetings. The line did useful work for some two months, but it suffered from mistaken electrical views, and though in that way it proved a failure, it was a complete engineering success. We have not mastered electricity yet, but fifty years ago even the greatest scientists misunderstood the conditions of the electric force. Mr. Bright by his practical inventions made" the final triumph possible, and was only twenty- two when he took out his famous patent. It seems incredible in these Marconi days that though the first cable proved that electrical communication between England and America was possible, nothing further was done until 1865. Nowadays there are sixteen cables to North America, and wireless tele graphy already threatens to make them out of date. CHURCH SERVICES: BERLIN. NEWSPAPERS AND TREES. A Paris contemporary gives some interesting particulars of the consumption of paper in the United States for the production of newspapers. One alarming feature is brought out, viz., that the time has come when the people of the great Re public will have to choose between their newspapers and their forests, for the destruction of forests is three times as great as the afforestation. In 1905 there were ten and a-half milliard copies of news papers printed in the United States, a milliard being one thousand millions. The stupendous number given represents 125 copies of papers and reviews for every person in the United States, or three times the number in 1880. American Sunday papers and weeklies make the greatest demands on the paper supply. In 1905 there were 456 American Sunday papers, the printings totalling 11,539,021 copies, the average size of the papers being 32 pages. For the edition of one Sunday alone sufficient paper is required to print a library of 5,900,000 volumes each of 400 pages. BRITISH AND AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVES.

According to a telegram published in a local paper from its Rome correspondent, Cardinal Gibbons, who has been in Rome for some little time past on a visit, has confirmed the statement that Miss Katherine Elkins, the affianced bride of the Duke of the Abruzzi, will formally abjure the Protestant Faith and become a Roman Catholic before the marriage takes place. The Pope questioned Cardinal Gibbons closely regarding the future Duchess and her relatives, and appeared to be perfectly satisfied by the Car dinal’s replies. His Holiness expressed his pleasure in the fact that an American lady was about to become an Italian Catholic Princess. NEWS FROM FRANCE. ENGLISH LADY LIBELLED IN PARIS JOURNALS. Paris, August 5. In the Seine Assize Court, Mrs. Clarke, a member of a wealthy English family, brought an action against the Matin newspaper, and against the humorous journal Le Rire. The allegations were that the Matin published. a defamatory statement concerning Mrs. Clarke, following on which an of fensive picture appeared in the other paper. In the case of the Matin an adjournment was granted, but the Court ordered the proprietors of Le Rire to pay 100,000 francs damages. RUMOURED ATTEMPT ON SULTAN’S LIFE. Geneva, August 6. One of the leaders of the young Turkish party here received a telegram yesterday morning from Constantinople, stating that on Monday night a minor official of the Palace rushed past the Guards and entered the private apartments of the Sultan, whom he stabbed in the breast. The blow was deflected by the coat of mail which the Sultan wears, and a severe bruise was the only consequence of the attempt. The man was promptly arrested by the Guards. He had evidently been heavily bribed to assassinate the Sultan, as a very large sum in gold and notes was found in his luggage, which was ready packed for flight. HYDROPHOBIA IN ITALY. Rome, August 6. Great alarm prevails at Milan in consequence of the large number of persons who are daily bitten by mad dogs. In a single day forty persons were removed to hospitals for treatment, as the result of dog-bites; while it is stated that one dog alone bit fifteen children. Hydrophobia has recently claimed an alarmingly large number of victims in Rome and Naples, and the municipal authorities are blamed for their lack of precaution in the matter. The citizens, however) are not by any means free from blame. It is remarked that during the hours when the municipal official whose duty it is to seize wander ing dogs passes along the street, there is scarcely a dog to be seen not on a lead; but as soon as the agent and his van have passed, the dogs are in many cases allowed to run loose. MOROCCAN AFFAIRS. Tangier, August 6. The British Embassy has invited Raisuli to take up his residence at Tangier. The Angheras and Uleddron tribes, after a conference with the Basha^ of Tangier, have sent delegates to Abdul Asiz to represent to him that the lack of power on the part of Mulai Hafid will be evident in the futuie- Mulai Hafid’s departure from Fez, which had been postponed from time to time, was still delayed ° D August 2.
