BERLIN, October 20.-Emperor William
is expected to arrive at Drewitz, near
Potsdam, tomorrow, on his return from
Italy. He will drive Immediately to the
Marble palace, where he will pass the
day in retirement with his family. He
will visit Berlin in the afternoon,
where he will receive the congratula-
tions of the municipal authorities on his
return. On Wednesday he will resume his
itinerary, going to Blankenburg, where
he will meet the Regent OF Brunswick.
He will then visit Prince Bismarck, who
will probably accompany him to Ham
burg, where the Emperor is expected to
arrived on October 30, and where he
will preside over the celebration of the
entry of the Hansa city into the Zoil-
verein. After leaving Hamburg, the
Emperor will visit Leipsic, and on the
3lst inst. he will lay the corner stone
Of the Imperial palace OF justice.
He will return to Berlin early in
November, and will be present at the
opening of the new Landtag. 1t is also
stated that he will receive the Gear on
November 10th. The Russian Imperial
family will pass through Berlin on that
date, and the Czar will then repay EN-
peror Williams recent visit. The Czar
and his family are going to visit Copen-
hagen, where they will join in the cele-
bration of the silver anniversary of the
accession of King Christian to the throne
of Denmark.
Berliners anticipate dull winter. The
Court is still in mourning and the lead
ing families are absentees. 1t is settled
that King Humbert will visit Berlin in
the spring.
The result of the Emperor's visit to
Rome beyond doubt has been blow
to the hopes Of the Vatican. The semi
official press here has been instructed
to maintain iudicious silence, and it
ignores the Vatican. The dissatisfaction
anger and discomfort of the clericals
breaks out in the German and other
Catholic organs. 1t is admitted that the
Emperor used the utmost tact in his in
terview with the Pope and Cardinal
Rampolli, the papal Secretary of State,
but authentic advices from Rome, which
are accepted as accurate by official and
Catholic circles, state that the
Pope forced from Emperor William
the declaration that Germany could
not encourage the papal aspirations
without endangering the present entente
with the Italian Government. From
member of the Imperial attendants it
became known that Emperor William,
while telling King Humbert how the
ton of Rome, said: 81 had to destroy

The Vatican does not rest submissive
or inactive. Cardinal Rampolli besides
instructing the Bishops to renew the agi-
tation for sympathy with the Pope, has
prepared a statement explaining that
His Holiness only consented TO receive
the Emperor after receiving formal
declaration that his visit did not imply
any recognition of the incorporation Of
Rome with Italy.
At a meeting of the medical society
here on Thursday last, the members de-
bated and approved report the effect Of
which will amount to accusing DIR. Mac
kenzie of distorting the facts disclosed by
the post mortem examination, and of
general divergence from the truth.
The ex-Empress is implicated in
both of Mackenzie's statements
and in Geffeken's. line OF defense.
the friends of the late Emperor are hope
ful that the high character of the ex-
Empress will find vindication in the
developments of Geffeken's trial. The
group surrounding DR.. Freidburg is
gaining so much strength that it
may soon have the power to influence
the abandonment of the prosecution
of Professor Geffeken. The charge against
him as now defined is the treasonous di-
vulging of documents. The least sentence
it would be possible to impose on the
conviction of a person of this charge, is
two years penal servitude. EN-
peror William is much less de-
sirous that his trial shonld be
proceeded with than is Prince Bismarck,
whom the Emperor persuaded to direct
the abandonment Of the prosecution
when his vindictive action appeared
likely to recoil upon himself.
The Landtag electoral excitement is on
the increase, as is also the activity of the
police in suppressing meetings hostile to
the Government.
