Berlin, Dec 22-The committee of the Emn
Relief Association give more credence TO inc
reported arrival of Henry NJ. Stanley on the
Aruwhimi than they did to Osman Digna's story
Of Emin Pacha's capture, but they have decided
TO continue the preparations for sending our the
wissman Expedition for Emin's relief until the
news is verified Some Of the members oil the
committee In discussing the contradictions De
tween the dispatch received from Zanzibar,
which reports that Stanley had reached the
Aruwhimi, and the one that came from the Congo,
reporting the arrival the Aruwhim OF both
Stanley and Emin, conclude that Stanley had
reached the Aruwhimi, intending 70 return 70
Emin Pacha, but hold that the safety OF the
latter remains in doubt The departure OF Lieu
tenant Wissman will now be retarded until early
in February This delay is partly due to the
impossibilty Of obtaining the passage OF the East
African bill by the Reichstag before
February. Although the release of Emin Pscha
will be one object of the expedi-
ton. it will also act in support
Of the anti-slave operations on Lieutenant Wiss
mans return from the interior. 1t will be pro-
posed in the Reichstag that part of the money
voted by the bill shall be used for raising
force of colonial troops, even if it happens that
Emin Pacha is safe Lieutenant Wissman's plans
already formed will be the probable basis OF the
expedition into the interior. Wissman expects,
whatever happens 70 lead the colonizng force
Wissman's brother officers IN the I'd Regiment
of the Guards will give him farewell dinner at
the end of January.
In the discussion Of the route to be taken and
the number of men composing the expedition,
a letter from Cardinal Lavigerie to the German
Minister at Brussels attracts attention Cardinal
Iavigerie uses his knowledge OF the interior OF
Africa TO support the statement that BOO TROOPS,
marching through the German territory by way OF
Unyanyembe to Uji on Lake Tanganyli1a, could
crush the slave trade and disarm and forever dis
able the Arab slave merchants
The East Africa bill is understood to demand
sum of money sufficient for q larger scheme IN
volving permanent coast garrisons and several
inland garrisons.
THE GERMAN PRESS on THE sUAKIM AFFAIR
The newspapers here in their criticisms Of recent
occurrences at Suakim concur in associatng Eng
hsh action there with the German policy on
the Zanzibar coast. The North German Ga
zette" says the victory at Suakm viii have
direct effect upon the anti-shve movement ana
will probably help TO hberate Emn Bey The
paper recommends that a force OF Egyptians com
manded by British officers. prosecute operations in
the Soudan The National Gazette" holds that
i,ermanv's energetic policy on the Zanzibar coast
has determined highlands action In the Red Sea
and it hopes that the Salisbury Cabinet Will now
take strong measures regarding the Soudan Inc
Vienna papers looking at the business side OF tho
subject, expect a reopehing OF the Soudan trade
Austria having had, prior TO the Mahdi's trl-
umphs profitable dealings with the Soudanese,
chiefly in cutlery.
Lord Salisbury's declarations that the British
will not 90 further than Suakim receive little
attention official circles having reason to expect
a large development of the English policy on the
Red Sea coast simultaneously with German action
in Zanzibar.
EMPEROR WILLIAM REsUMING HIS JOURNEYS.
Emperor William has fairly recruited his health,
and has resumed his Journeys. To-day he went
to Stettin to inspect the Frederick William
Grenadier Regiment. The people of Stettin gave
him hearty reception He went directly from
the railway station to the koenig's Platz, where
he tied four ribbons 10 the colors OF
the regiment Aftflward, IN snort speech, , ne
maintain tho high character OF their
order for bravery. He neat visited the
Vulcan Shipbuilding Works, at Bredow ms
at their club His weeks work has displayed
the same expenditure OF nervous energy as be-
fore his Illness and 1t has been IN the SANE
direction-toward militarism. The Emperor has
been arranging for some grand military ma
noeuvres in Silesia in 1889 lie has held CON
fcrences with the Commission on the defence
of CuXhaven and the North Sea Canal lie
spent several hours on Thursday at the artillery
range outside Berlin, where he reviewed two bat
Ia lions Of the Guards in going through series OF
manoeuvres under the new drill regulations
Dr-rNEss IN THE BERLIN CHRISTMAS TRADE
A perpleAed interest has been created by the
Empcrors order summoning home at the same
time Baron Plessen, the military attache at
St. Petersburg, and Baron Won Huene, the mill
tarv attache at Paris Both arrived Thurs
day. and had an interview with the Emperor
without delay. Beriners would like TO see some
Of this energy used in encouraging trade. There
is a general complaint Of duiness, Christmas buy
ing is limited, and the festal spirit is under
gloom
THE ATTACKS UPON SIR R. D. MoRIER.
The semi-offical press continues It's attacks
on the character of Sir K. ID. Morier, the British
Ambassador at st. Petersburg. The apparent OBJ
ject is to prevent the acceptance of Morier at
Vienna under the pending changes OF English
Ambassadors Morer asks, through the British
Minister here. for an official CONTRADICTION OF
" The Cologne Gazette's' assertion that he held
communicat ons with Marshal Bazaine during the
war Of $40. and was seeking 10 betray the yer
man army Though heartily dishlted by Bis
Inarck. he win get the contradiction he desires
Bismarck knows him as holding views on Ger
man notifies similar 10 those Of the Emperor
Frederick He was a close friend Of Baron Won
Beust during his long period OF diplomatic
service at various German courts. The Eng
lish Government proposed him as an ambassador
dt this place four years ago, but bismarck
promptly rejected him. The Chancellor probably
has cause TO suspect him OF lntrIgues against
German interests since the time OF his recc-
fion but the charge Of acting " a spy for Mar

Germans and received the confidence and respect
of German officials But he has now acquired
the cordial dislike Of official circles at Berlin as
a supposed enemy of German unity.
