NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The Herald's special
cable dispatch from Berlin says:
The German press is still at loggerheads,
snarling and growing over the remains OF
the late Emperor Frederick.
The Berliner Tageblatt and other Freisin-
nige organs have tried hard to prove that the
young emperor's sharp rebuke to them for
meddling with his family affairs was In
tended for the National Liberal newspapers.
Alone of all the Democratic newspapers
The Frankfurter Zeitung has had the manli-
ness to own that the rebuke was meant "for
them ALL
'We must admit this or be silent" IL adds
II is not unlikely, therefore, that the Ger
ram Democratic newspapers will, for a time
at least, cease to turn the revered memory
of Frederick the Noble into n political
weapon, and, as the Kolnische Zeitung re-
marks, pose as executors of his political
testament
That the emperor was cut to the heart by
it ell is evidenced by the fact that so proud
man should have overcome his reserve to the
point of using the language he employed to
Herr Forckenback, the Oberburgermeister.
"My feelings as a son have been most deeply
hurt said the emperor.
This unpleasant incident has probably been
effaced by the splendid receptions given to
the young monarch at Hamburg and Leipsig
This imperial business is trade, like any
other, after all, and it must be admitted that
the kaiser does his work very WELL and
moreover very cheaply, rs such work goes.
His actual reward from the empire for his
services is nothing His adjutants receive
$500 marks, with certain allowances for
lodging forage, etc, and sum of 100000
marks on the imperial budget. ostensibly to
be disposed of according to the emperor's
will, can only be.laid out upon certain speci-
fed objects.
There are no frais de representation Be
yond Prince Bismarck's well earned 1900
marks and the 1000 marks allowed the
secretary for foreign affairs, the expenses OF
the costly visits to St. Petersburg, Vienna
and Rome came out of the emperor's private
means and apanage as king of Prussia. SO
The Kolnische Zeitung is justified in asking
that sum of money to pay the emperors
expenses in business connected with the en-
pire shall be included in the imperial budget
Two great meetings for the suppression OF
The African slave trade, held at Hamburg
and Cologne, have had an echo-a "nachk-
lang" as they say herein German hearts,
intensified possibly lty the fact that the pro-
posal to take England in as a partner was
coldly received by the islanders

work, made two or three unpleasant illusions
TO England in his Introductory remarks at
Cologne.
He said that England, who had withdrawn
thoroughly equipped army from before
Khartoum, could scarcely be induced to ft
out an expedition TO the Congo.
How jealous of any outside, unsolicited in
reference i'll Eastern Africa Germans are
may be gathered from The Kolnsche Zei-
tung's comments on the rumor that Italy
was seeking a slice of territory ON the coast
of Kismayu. In view Of the excellent rela-
tions existing between Italy and Germany, it
observes, it would seem impossible that the
Italian government should, in order to oblige
an obscure Italian trading company, encroach
on the rights and interests of Germany, when
the German East African company earnestly
desires the establishment of colonial empire
and is petting and encouraging German 2ri-
yaso enterprise in that direction.
All national elections have a feature in
common. Both sides always claim the va
tory, and SO it is in Germany.
