Test the Relative Strength OF the
Powers Not Far Of.

BERLIN, Oct 6-Emperor Williams re-
ception at Vienna has sent thrill of graft
fication throughout the empire. Apart
from the popular demonstration, the en-
thusiasm shown, and the scenes at the
banquets given him, the visit has been of
immense value in displaying the Emperor's
latent qualities. His social tact
and personal genislity have hitherto
been known only in limited
circles. The current notions investing
him with cold, unsympathetic person
ality have been erased by the smiling
serenity with which he passed through the
tiring ceremonies associated with his recep-
ton. Talk at the embassies and in official
circles at Vienna is unceasing as to what
the emperor said to this one and how he re-
ceived another Every incident is related,
testifying to the happy impression
left upon the people 1t is not
the least art of capable ruler
to continue, amid stream of wearisome
social duties, to please every ,hlgh-born per-
sonage, giving to each the pleasant impress
sion Of having received ample recognition
Emperor William has passed through the
ordeal of Austrian society in triumph, ac-
Quirlng new character as a man of cor
dial as we'll as kindly presence.
THE VISIT TO ITALY.
The emperor will remain in Vienna until
Wednesday, when he will start for italy
The interview of Cardinal Galimberti the
papal nunclo at Vienna, with his majesty
on Thursday lasted only ten minutes The
cardinal, 1t is said, has freely stated that the
emperor, after expressing the hope that
nothing would occur during his visit
to Rome to wound the suscepti-
discuss any question pending between
the vatican and Germany, simply referring
him to Count Herbert Bismarck. The
nuncio's subsequent conference with Count
Herbert Bismarck appears to have been
limited to the arranging of the formalities
Of Emperor Williams reception at the
vatican. Advices from Rome, received
here last evening, announce that the vati-
can is genuinely satisfied with the pro-
gramme arranged.
Herr Won Schloezer, the German ambassa-
dor at the vatican, as instructed by Count
Herbert Bismarck, assented to every for
mahty suggested by Cardinal Rampolla, the
papal secretary of state. But his social
triumph is trlfe beside the significance of
the exchange of imperial courtesies at the
Rittersaal and banquets. Official papers
here and at Vienna comment upon the en-
peror's speech as an assurance that the Ger
man and Austrian armies are practically
united, and ready for action against a COM
mon enemy. Any remote suspicion OF En-
peror Williams inclining toward the czar
has been dispelled.
DECISIVE ACTION IMMINENT.
On the contrary, several incidents have
occurred which impel the impress
sion that decisive action for the
testing of the strength Of the alliance
will not be long delayed. Emperor William
streneously bore himself graciously toward
the militant anti-Slavic element in Austria
Hungary. He decorated Premier Tisza and
Her Won Szogany, and graciously received
Count AndrasSy and the other Magyars,
while ignoring the slavic personages about
the Austrian courts.
To-day the emperor went chamois hunt
ing in the imperial reserves in the Sommer-
ing mountains.
Emperor William will call upon the
pope at the vatican before going to the
quirinal. Gaining this point has gladdened
the officials at the vatican. The pope will
hold private conference with the emperor
in the library, which is now decorated with
the tapestry presented TO him on the occa-
sion OF his recent jubilee. On the day of
the emperor's arrival Cardinal Rampolla
will wait on him, and on the following day
the emperor will return the visit of the
cardinal
EVERY DETAIL ARRANGED.
The smallest details of the reception OF
the emperor have been settled, even to how
many horses and what carriages shall form
the emperors cortege the number of per-
sons in his suit, and the place assigned to
each. The public reception ut the quirinal
and the fetes given in the emperor's honor
will be without any especial formality.
The Italian police, assisted by Berlin
officers, are taking precautions to prevent
any attempt upon the emperor's life, in
consequence of a warning received by them.
The German and italian anarchists mean
mischief. Letters from Zurich, which
have been intercepted, refer to some plot
against the emperor, and give rise to a be-
lief that he will be attac ked during his
tour Of Italy. The list Of the military per-
sonages accompanying Emperor william
includes Cons. Won Hahnke and yon
Brauchitsche, Millenz and Schultz, of the
military cabinet, and Won Kruger
AN oM1NoUs SION.
1t Is Of ominous import that as pendant
OF the imperial visit, conference will take
place at which Gen. Cosenz, the Italian
chief Of staff, will meet Gems Won Walderze
and Won Hahnke and two delegates of
the Austrian war Office The meeting will
virtually Be commission of inquiry as TO
the condition Of the army of Italy, and
what part IL will be able TO take in the
coming developments. On returning
from Naples the emperor will visit
Milan, and the Vienna Presse to-
night states that the emperor will
probably again go to Vienna, arriving there
on Oct 4. No news OF such an arrangement
has been received here, where he is timed
to return on Oct. %.
Tho Berlin municipals want 10 accord the
emperor more public demonstration of
welcome. His tour since leaving has been
a kind Of triumphal progress, raising kaiser
worship to white heat
THE DOUGLAS SPEECH.
Count Douglas election speech at
Aschersleben faithfully reflects the present
popular tendency toward inconsiderate ad-
miration of an untried ruler. Count
Douglas, as far as conservative with
liberal leanings could be, has been intimate
with the emperor since his majesty's boy
hood, and is good authority on his char
acter; but the portrait which he slsetched
for tho electorate was obviously an ideal,
combining the highest capabilities OF n
governing and military gonius. with
moral aspirations making him kindred
with the angels. Count Douglas effusion Is
about TO be published in pamphlet form
for distribution throughout the empire. It
opeps with declaration that ''never before
had our kaiser, the only Prussian prince,
scan ao r1,uch df uractfcal life
