Emperor William Receives the
French MEinister--ClamOr Against
the United States Consul at Chem
nitZ.
BERLIN, Oct 24.-Emperor William re-
ceived M. Herbett, the new French am
bassadOr, in formal audience at 2 o'clock
to-day. Count Herbert Bismarck was
present. M. Herbett, being unable to
speak German. read an address in French
expressing desire to take his stand on the
ground of the common interests of both
nations. Emperor William said that he
hoped that NJ. Herbett's experience of
affairs would ass iSt HIM to accomplish his
mission, and that the ambassador might
fully rely upon his support in serving the
interests of France and Germany. The audi
ence was of friendly character, and lasted
about twenty-five minutes. The
CLAMOR AGAINST MR.. TANNER,
the United States consul at Chemntz, con-
tinues daily in the newspapers. MI Tanner
is preparing an answer to the resolution
adopted by the chamber of commerce in that
town. He will explain that he did not pass
an isolated Judgment of his own in his re-
port to the government at Washington re-
speeding the practice of manufacturers at
Chemnitz. but embodied in it the views of
large American buyers, who have been
dealing for many years with ChemnitZ
houses. The press throughout the country
has warmly criticised the project of the
French government to suppress the sales of
foreign goods marked as French fabrics.
The contention Of NJ. Lockroy, the minister
of commerce, that the sale of goods with
forged trademarks ought to be suppressed.
is admitted to be excellent in principle but
it is predicted that the law in question
will result in the absolute prohibition of the
sale of German merchandise, for no French
house will dare to sell German goods which
are known to be German. The nianufac-
turers of Germany, say the papers. if BAN
ished from France, may borrow italian,
Belgian and Russian trademarks, in order
to obtain entry into the French markets.
Further. under the treaty of Frankfort
France is forbidden to levy prohibitive
tariff against Germany, and
PRINCE BISMARCK MUST ACT
if that treaty becomes practically abrogated
The ProgressiSt members of the reichstag
and a number of National Liberals are pre-
pairing an appeal to the government to
suspend the execution, during the session of
the rechstag, of the decree of imprlson-
ment against Bebel and five other socialist
members. They fear that if they asked the
government for an absolute pardon it wonld
be refused. A scandal has been caused in
the highest circles by the arrest of Baron
Otto Won Schleinitz nephew of the de-
ceased minister of that name and member
of the emperOr's household. He is charged
with acting as an agent of a band Of men
leagued together for the purpose of eXtort-
ing money from wealthy and high-born
persons, and with selling forged titles and
the decorations. Schleinitz was captain
in the Prussian guards. He gambled and
ran through a fortune. On the discovery
of his crimes the police favored
his escape to France, out of re-
gard for his uncle, who was then
alive. Since the latter's death SchleinitZ
has been traced to England where
he is charged with the forgery of bill of
exchange for 2,400 marks. He has just
been eXtradited An accomplish named
Lange, who was concerned in the forgery,
committed suicide upon hearing of
Schleinitzs arrest. Emperor William has
given so 900 marks to erect monument to
Martin Luther in Berlin, and 10000 marks
to restore to its original form the choir of
ST. Mary'S church at Goettingen. Herr
Freytag writes to publisher promising to
arrange complete edition of his works in
chronological order, beginning with his
poems and pretaced with his autobiography.
