KAISER'S CLAIM.

ONLY FIFTY MILLION POUNDS. (Electric Telegraph.—Copyright). LONDON, September 7. The “Daily Chronicle’s” Beilin correspondent states that the exKaiser is claiming £50,000,000, which he says represents the value of property formerly owned throughout Germany. The dispute has been proceeding for a long time. The Prussian Government rejected his claims, whereupon the ex-Kaiser resorted to law. The claim was upheld on the grounds that until 1018 the ex-Kaiser paid for the maintenance of the properties out of the privy purse. When the Prussian Parliament assembles in a few weeks it will lx l asked to sanction an agreement whereby the properties will be handed over to him. This is the biggest property claim in history and includes twenty palaces, castles, and other Rovai residences, fifty-one smaller castles and land attached thereto, twenty-four Palatial residences in the heart of Berlin, fifty-two large houses and villas in Potsdam, five opera houses in different parts of Prussia, and fourteen extensive building sites. —(A. & X.Z.)

This stack of sawn fuel is a monunie,,t to the ex-Emperor\s industry, ln which he takes keen pride. He considers it proof that he has for--Bw°rnw°rn politics and become a simple landowner. Throughout the winter the exrJPeror sawed wood. * The result is toorc cut wood than Doom House consume even in an English slimier.
