During a debate in the city assembly at Tokio, Japan, Hoshi Toru, the eminent diplomat, who was minister of communication in the last, Ito cabinet, was stabbed to death by an unknown assassin. Prof. Robert Koch publishes in the German Medical Weekly a declaration that Dr. Goet'sch of the Slawentzitz hospital has used for ten years tuberculin against tuberculosis with unvarying success. An unexploded bomb hasTieen found in a railroad carriage in which two princes of the house of Montenegro have been traveling in Italy. The Italian authorities have refused to Impart the details of the discovery. While the Crown Prince Frederick William was on his way from Minden to Bonn a drunken individual approached his carriage at Bochum, Westphalia, and aimed a blow with a stick at the window at which the crown prince was seated. The phenomenally cold weather has the worst effect on crops everywhere Europe, and especially in France, where the wheat crop has been ruined. Hence the importation of the American commodity will be a record one. Two French firms alone are credited with having already ordered more than the entire importation from the United States in the year 1909.
