Berlin. —The Duchess of Saxe-Co burg and Gotha aro being torn today by a serious coinstitutional strife over the right of the. inhabitants to walk along the roads of the ducal forests. The young Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a first cousin of King George of England, reigns over about a quar ter of a million people. The Thuringian Forest covers a considerable portion of his duchies, and most of the timber forms part of the ducal demesnes. The question of rights of way through the woods is an important one In all the forest duchies of Thuringia, and in Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the rights of the Duke’s sub jects are safeguarded by an agreement between the Diet of the combined duchies, (Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) and the Crown. Roads Closed. Lately the sylvan peace of Saxe-Co burg and Gotha has been disturbed by the sudden appearance of notice boards on certain of the forest roads and paths, informing all whom it may concern that these roads are closed to the public by order of the Chamber of the Ducal Demesnes. The forest Hampdens of the Thuringian woods protested as one man against these new rules. They claim that the public have rights of way on the closed roads by virtue of established usage, and the Diet emphatically took the view that the closing of the forest ways was a breach of the agreement between the Diet and Crown. What is more surprising Is that the BABIES L»l A A t CALL 236 and ask the Contest Manager. 639 Broad St. Duke's principal Minister of State, Dr. Von Richter, took the popular aide, and gave orders that the offending no tice-hoards should be removed in one of the forest districts. The Ministry of State consists of four members, of whom two suport Dr. Von Richter. The fourth, Herr Von Bassovvit*. Pres ident of the Chamber of Ducal Demes nes, who is responsible for the closing of the roads* held that in any case tint Duke would close them if he were pre pared to provide other ways through the forests for his lieges, and went off privately to luy his views before the Duke, who was staying at Sansu mano, near Florence. The Duke took his side, anl demonstrated his sym pathies by sending him back to Gotha with a new and brilliant, decoration. Whereupon Dr. Von Rlchte, sent in his resignation. The Duke postponed acceptance un til his return. When he arrives ho will find awaiting him addresses from both his Diets, energetically recom mending him not to accept the resig nation of Dr. Von Richter, and prais ing that Mintster. Meanwhile Herr Von BassowiLz has also sent In his resignation, and It is understood that Dr. Von Richter will withdraw his if the Duke will part with Herr Von Rassowttz, and of cotirse, remove the notice-boards.
