PRISON FOR EDITOR.
If two persons are carrying on a con-
versation alone in a private room and
one of them should make a remark dis-
respectful to the Kaiser, the other may
denounce him to the police, and tee
would probably be convicted and sen-
tenced to imprisonment. It will be
uriclerstood that under this laWe and
with the exceSsive zeal of the German
police officials, lite authorities find plen-
ty Of Work to do ,in the -direction of se-
curing convictions for this offence.
'The latest case occurred. a few days
ago, when a Berlin butcher • was sen-
tenced • to. six.months'- imprisonment tor
having spoken ,disre.spectfully of the
Kaiser three years ago. Notlong ago
the editor of a German newspaper re-
ceived a sentertee of three months for
„remarking in his journarthat the Kaiset
received ' $10,00,0 daily; for appending 1 is
signature.to rt*feW State documents. .
The 1av o "fese majeate' is no . re-
epector of persons; schoolboys or, old
women are equally visited with thefull
penalties. An old,avorn'an of 73 living
hi Dresden, was sentenced . to six
months' ithprisonmerit for remarking
that the fate of King Alexandra of Ser.
via ought to befall King George of Sax-
°nye, and a baker's boy, of fifteen, in
Silesie, had three week.s' imprisonment
for insultingthe inajesty of the Kaiser.
If the culprit isa soldier, his minish-
ment for "lese anajeste" is excessively
severe. A private was drummed out of
he army and sentenced to seven years'
mprisonment for saying, to a comrade
hat the Kaiser might have slowed

• "It was mainly on account of the ex-
istence of this concession that Earl
Fitzwilliam's expedition failed, Admir-
al Palliser told -me that the Earl's party
found it impossible to interfere with 'the
syndicate, and could only work by its
consent in certain parts of the island.
• 'There is absolutely no doubt that
two groat treasure hoards are hidden in.
the island. e, One, a pirate treasure,. is
:Valued at between six and twelve ,mil-
lions sterling—and the other—known
as' Keating's TreasureIeLis said to be
worth three millions.
• "The former coffaisted of masses of
masses of gold and silver ornaments
and gold ingota. They were originally
seized by °(he Spanish in Mexico and
Peru, and were being carried away in
Spanish galleons when a notorious
pirate, Capt., Don Pedro Benne., at-
tacked. and captured the vessels,: and,
concealettestbeir freight in a 'secret cave
in Cocos Brand. '
• HIDING TIIE TREASURE.
• "Keatiog's treasure was -obtained in.
much the same way. The Spaniards,
Who.. were being driven out of Peru,
collected all their valuables in LiMa,
and placed them for , safety on the .:13ri-
lish, steamer Mary Dier. The captain
and Crew, being overcome at the sight
of so much gold and silver, murdered
those in - charge, and sailed to Cocos
Island, where they also .hid their v4a
treasure. Retribution followed swiftly,
however, for a Spanish 'warship went in
Pureult, end findlog them at ilte island,
executed seventeen of the crew.
• "The Spaniards' nev,er found the trea-
sure, and the captain of the Mary Dier,
escaping'. to Canada. handed over the
secret of the hiding place before his
death to Captain „ICeating, of Nova
Scotia. Keating twice visited the island,
arid on, each occasion returned home
with £2,000 worth of gold. , t
• "This treasure was also seen by a 1.
Man who was afterwards killed in the 1
Chilien War.„
• ense search ter these two treasures 1
has now .been going on for between 5
seventy and eighty yeers, and the only
hope for- their. recovery is in the work
of an expedition fitted out with all
necessary appliances and men, such as
Lord Fitzwilliam's expedition, and
guided byethose who have some actual
knowledge of the hiding -places.”
THIS WOMAN;SEFIS GHOSTS.
She Has a School for Than Which
They Appreciate.
Mrs. Endicott has a school for 'ghosts.
They come to her to learn the. things
appertaining to the higher- life. Most
of them When they "passed over" were
Politipians and men of affairs, who had
no time to devote to matters concerning
the occult world.
• The, foregoing statement was made by
Mrs. 'Endicott at one of the series of
occult ealons organized by Mts. Walkee
and Miss, O'Reilly at tho,Wasttninster
Palace Ilotel, London, England, and the
gathering there the other night was a
large one. Mrs.' Endicott was giving
some explanations of personal expeee
-Ione°, and why houses Were haunted.
On the latter point She takeserthe view
that it is because .the ghosts are con-
sumed with a burning love of thoee
they haunt and de not know that Ailey
frighten. people.
A 8e110115 warning was addressed
her tonthose who go huntieg through
pedigrees. It -is a praotice which twinge_
all manner of, ghosts about one; and
site mentioned the case aft woman who
was attended' by "a big, soldier -looking
man called, Robert,' who would insist
upofl his name being put in a particular
plaee in the tree. With the aseistance
of Mree EndiCott this %vas done, and he
then "made, a Courtly )bow Arid left."
Another warning was • agairiat minting
passages out of books,and placfng thenr
under pillowe. She did so, and was
Wakened in the nighr by a girl with red
eyes, who refused to go away. Mrs.
Endicott declares that around eters'

ritenL
The correspondent, although weiting
anonymously, is known as an able
publicist, who is intiznateitt acquainted
with the politics of the Empire. , The
gist of Ills „eaccusatiens Isettlatt...f.ot'dt
Cotiterriptiieniet- -tree te
ment of the native army, is Breatitig
that. body the same" spirit of 'soreness
and discontent which was one of the
main causes of ,the Mutiny of 1857.
After dwelling at length on the admin-
ietrative steps • and tither measures
which have led to thia state of affairs,
he continues ' • ••
• MASTE'BFUL AND INTOLERANT.
"Lord ••Kitchener's masterfulness
gr,OW$ with increasing power', arid
oraers he so often hastily issues he as
hastily withdraws. He no longer -shows
the same industry or applleation to de-
tail or the same devotion to economy
which characterized his -work in Egypt.
Ile has no personal knowledge of the
Indian character and his constitutional
intolerance of all opposition unftts him
to learn-lrom those who have had the
experience he lacks," •
In conclusion the writer touches on
a matter that has been notorious 1n
inner circles, but has hitherto„ not been
commented unon .in the press, namely,
that the reconquest of the Soudan was
nearly wrecked in tt- disaster due to the
same disregard for the ictiosYncraeles of
the native troops which resulted in an
incipient mutiny. Lord Kiteheneta had
then already started for South Afriea,
but the conditions were ascribed as due
directly to his policy. It is pointed out
that any trouble resulting in India' may
in the same way be deferred until Lord
Kitchener's term of office expireeigh-
leen months hence. •
• Naturally this letter has produced a
defence from, the Commanderein-Chief's
apologists, but those which have
hitherto appeared have been too personal
in tone to carry conviction'.
