Why the Kaiser Is Angry.

HE RESENrS UNAVOIDABLE COMPARISON OF HIM
SELF WITH EMPEROR FREDERICK.
In reply to request Of the Berlin municipal
council for an explanation Of the emperor's
speech of Saturday, the following, which is the
revised and most explicit text of the conclud-
ing passages of the speech was sent to Mayor
FOrckenbeck:
II cannot but give expression to a very pain
full "Reminiscences of my journey. While have
devoted health and strength to securing the
peace and welfare Of the Fatherland, and thus
to the capital also, by creating ties of friend
ship, the daily press Of the capital has given
publicity to and spoken about the affairs of nv
family in manner which a private individual
would never tolerate. am not only painfully
impressed by this, but my displeasure has been
aroused. wish, above all, that the continu-
GUS citing of the name of my departed father
shall cease. It most deeply Injuries nv feelings
as his son, and it is in the highest degree un-
becoming. l trust that when choose Ber-
lin as my principal residence-and as a
will avoid making the private relations of my
family the subject Of press discussion. The
duties uniting prince with his people for the
purpose of making the Fatherland great and
happy are numerous and important enough for
them to devote their whole attention to It in a
thoroughly patriotic manner; allowing all other
affairs, such a. have already mentioned to
rest without giving them publicity. They
should combine to use their strength in faith
full devotion to these high and noble acts.
trust the representatives Of Berlin, to receive
whom gives me a special pleasure, will en-
deavor in this matter to perform their part"
The passage in which the emperor rebukes
the press for quoting the Emperor Frederick
in unfavorable comparison with himself elicits
special interest. The first semi-oficial copy
contained no explicit reference to the Emperor
Frederick.
THE EMPEROR VISITS HAMBURG.
Emperor William arrived in Hamburg yester-
day. He was received by the senator's in a
body. The people greeted the emperor with
great enthusiasm. The emperor drove through
the city in carriage drawn by four black
horses. Gen. Won Moltke and Count Herbert
Bismarck followed in a second carriage. At in
tervals along the route children presented the
emperor with flowers. The senator's conducted
the emperor to the site of the structure which
is to commemorate the inclusion of the city in
the customs union. The emperor took a trowel
and .mallet spread mortar over the stone,
| tapped the stone and said: "For Gods honor,
for the good Of the Fatherland and for the well
fare Of Hamburg" After Gen. Won Moltke,
Herr Petersen and Herr Won Boetticher had
made speeches the emperor steamed through
the customs canal to the new Elbe bridge and
inspected the forts. He stood on the bridge of
the steamer, smoking cigar and chatting gaily
with those around him. When Prof. Del6rich
approached his majesty and was about to kiss
his hand the emperor, with a deprecatory ges-
ture, grasped the professors hand and shook it
heartily. During the trip he conversed for o
long time with Mr.. Carl Schurz.
