william Already Spoken OF as a Guar
dian of Peace.

BERLIN, June 24.-INew York Herald
Cable-Special to THE BEE. William II. is
already spoken of as the "Schirmer des Erie
dens'-Guardian of Pcace-and lam enabled
to assure YOU that the conviction not only of
those behind the scenes but also Of the Prus-
sian people in general is that the chances of
q European war are the same today as they
were under William l. On Monday the new
emperor makes his debut before the German
reichstag. The address that he will pro-
nounce on that occasion will mark a white
day in the annals of Germany. The emperor,
after a long conversation on Wednesday
with Prince Bismarck, at Potsdam, went
to his library in the Marmot palace and
wrote with his own hand a rough
draft of the address that he intends
to make on Monday. This draft of the adj
dress covers eight pages of closely written
letter paper. 1t will be submitted to Prince
Bismarck for any suggestions or amend
ments
Though / am, of course, ignorant of its en-
tire contents, ! am in q position to state that
its two most important features will be:
First, that great emphasis will be LAID upon
the fact that the most perfect accord exists
between the emperor and his chancellor,
who will be spoken of in terms almost bor-
dering on admiration, and second, that as re-
CARDS the policy of peace "inaugurated by
my grandfather and continued by my father,
t will be maintained in its fullest extent"
The address, it is believed, will be one of the
most reassuring and peaceful messages ever
uttered by a Hohenzollern prince. 1t is
firmly believed in official circles here that a
complete understanding has been arrived at
with Russia and it is probable that in
,lN n,,,, 90 thn N,,Hpp ,rntt,n q
meeting will take place between the
German emperor, the car and the emperor
of Austria. The Berlin bourse is a pretty
good barometer and for three days the Rms
sian, German and Austrian bonds have been
steadily rising. Russian railroad stocks
have advanced from 1 to 3 points.
Austrians have risen l and Germans IL.
The weather continues hot and damp and
the mosquitoes and gnats are beginning to be
unbearable. Prince Bismarck will bolt from
Berlin as soon as possible after the meeting
of the reichstag. He is by no means in good
health at present. The rheumatism and
neuralgia has taken possession of his legs
again and it is almost impossible for him to
remain standing for any greatlength of time.
All the principal theaters remain closed. On
Sunday all the churches throughout Ger

BY the special order of William II. the text

Erduldet, dem nachdem err bewaehret list,
wird err die Krone des Lebens empfangen,
welche Colt verheissen hat, denen die ihn
lieb haben.

The forced exodus of the French

garded here as a message of doubtful
utility but fully justified by the scandalous

rather hard up for abusive matter, One such
paper mentions the new Empress Hildrom
