"This letter" says Dr. Andrew, "am?

not seen, he said, but he expressed
utmost confidence that they "do not,
deny a single statement of mine as to
Secretary MacVeagh's temperamental I
iniirmtlives and as to the consequent
, difficulty In carrying on properly the
business of the treasury department."!
It la significant" he said, "that tho
most Important olliclals of the treasury
deparment, Lawrence O. Murray. Comp- .
troller of the Currency, and Lee Mc- j
Clung. Treasurer of the United States
still remain silent. This Is signitiant,
not only of their opinions but also of I
their character and courage.
"I note that Mr. Balph, director of
the Bureau of Engraving and Print?
ing, is quoted as having professed al?
legiance to Secretary MacVeagh. It '
. should be said that Mr. Ralph had )
; carefully read and affirmed both of ;
1 my letters In the exact form in which i
they were issued, Including the |
statement that Mr. Halph on several
occasions had been with difficulty dis?
suaded from his intention to resign
i his office, due to no other reason than
j his lamentably unsatisfactory rels
i Hons with Mr. MacVeagh.
I "Mr. Kram, auditor "Of the Post? |
; OHice Department, Is also cited as
' having written "f ids cordial rela

! likewise be said In tills connection
that Mr. Kram had read and approved
my letters In their linal form, Includ?
ing this parngraph: 'I recall instances
of great discouragement on the part
of Mr. Kram and on the part of hi?
predecessor. Mr. Chance, not only bo
cause of lack of huppott and encour
t agemcnt on tho part of Sfr. Mac
Vcagh,. In bjieir efforts ?toward In?
creasing the efficiency of the service,
but also because " of his continual
? postponement of decisions about re

[EMPEROR WILLIAM TO
VISIT SWITZERLAND
Will Witness Annual Man?
oeuvres of Militia Army of
Helvetian Republic.
II *? I \ MMMUI-l. DH POSTBSOY,
MPBROR WILLIAM'S projected
Evisit to Switzerland In Septem
bcr, to witness tne annual ma?
noeuvres of the militia army or .
the Helvetian republic, la likely to Del
abandoned, tor the same reason that
Etriporor Nicholas some years ago gave
Up at the last moment his state visit |
to Koine, for which the moat elaborate
arrangements had been made by the
Italian Government.
II the Russian ruler remained away
from the Kterna.1 City on that occasion,
It was because the Chief "t th? Roman ?
Police and the principal oflleialK of the ;
detective service of tho Italian Depart?
ment of the Interior del lured It im?
possible to accept responsibility for j
the Imperial visitor's safety from any j
and every sort of harm.
fro It Is now In the' case of S.wltser- I
land, wher.; Marc Ruchet, tho Chief of
tiiM Department of the interior, has rb-I
signed his ofilco, us well us bis member-I
ship In the Federal Council, sooner than]
accept any responsibility lor iho se-j
curlty of the- Kaiser on his proposed I
visit; Marc Ruchet, whose membership |
in the Federal Couhell gave him a posi?
tion equal almost with that of tin |
president at t!" republic (now; M.
Foi Or), the sovereignty" of which la
vested jointly in the seven members of
the council, declares that while laws
exist for tlue supervision or exclusion
from Switzerland of aliens of stormy
antecedents and evil repute, the means,
are lacking for their enforcement. Ho]
might have added that th. r. was also I
a disinclination on the part of the I
Cantonal governments to co-operate I
with the Federal authorities In the!
r. MoreoVcr, he laid stress upon
the fact that all attempts to secure tho
necessary funds for such an undertak?
ing had failed, as not in keeping with]
Swiss Ideas.
It Is this inability to enforce the laws'
relating to foreigners that has made |
Switzerland more than any other coun?
try the haven of revolutionists. Nihil?
ists and Anarchists: in a word, of the!
foes of society and of the existing
systems of government. In England, I
which shares with Switzerland the In-1
ternatlonai opprobrium of harboring!
dangerous people, they are ,,t least |
subjected to a most elaborate und re- '
lentless supervision on the par. of the
police. This alone makj>s them prefoi
the territory of the republic, wh< rO,
moreover, the means of existence at'O
m?ch cheaper than In England, while
the absence of capital punishment from
the legal code or most of the Cantons,
Where murder Is usually considered us
sufficiently punished by' a more or less
long prison sentence, renders a sojourn
In that republic particularly rlskv for
monarchal.
No one can forpot that It was In
Switzerland that Empress Elizabeth of
Austria was assassinated in iS'.-c. by
an Italian Anarohlts, and, alas! it is
a fact that ihany of tae regleldul out- i
rages In other countries, have been |
plotted In Switzerland by "undesirable!
aliens:" notably, the blowing Up of1
tiu> dining-room of the Winter Palace
at St. Petersburg. as the Imperial party1
was about to cross the threshold; the
[assassination of Alexander II. a year
later, and the wreck of the Imperial
train at ?orkl. when Alexander ill..!
; with his court and children, including
i the present Czar, so narrowly escaped
I a hideous death..
As the Swiss resent the presence of
\ foreign detectives and police agents.
I even though employed exclusively to
watch alien suspects and criminals,
and place all sorts of obstacles In
their way. It is probable that tho
Kaiser will yield to the requests of

that such visits entailed heavy expen?

was dlillcult to secure wltiiout oppo

It is not, however, the question of
money, as much as that of safety,
which caused the Issue of this CUmmuil.
i Hon. Kor, although Prince Henry

was a constant coiitllct of authority
between the Federal Secret Service

and the two are sometimes confused. 1
Just how the prince came to lend any
Lug,- sum to a man so hopelessly In?
volved In debt as bom Miguel of Bru,
gunza is a curious story. 1'rlnco Alex?
ander had secured from the Emperoi
of Russia a goid-mliiing concession in
the Altai-Nerchinsk district of the
crown domain In Siberia, on the
strength of which a company was form?

of his difficulties. Prince Alexander ac
cordlngly helped Dom Miguel to obtain
from a Bohemian bank a loan of $100.

the amount.
it was generally understood by Dom
