WHAT WILL HE SAY?
Emperor Williams Speech at the
Opening of the Reichstag
Awaited With Anxiety.

BERLIN, Nov. 17.-The emperOr'S
speech at the opening Of the reichstag
Thursday is awaited with an exciting in
terest arising from the revival of the war
alarm. The official opinion is that, al
though no unusual pomp will attend the
ceremony, the emperor will open the
eiclistag IN person. If the tone of the
semi-offcial press were the guide, the
S peech would plainly remind the Ger
mans that they should be on the alert,
men ssss.. God as they are by powerful mill
tary neighborS on pss. pos.,- sides. But the
seml-official press do not tilr, time tine
represent the official opinion.
There certainly Is some restless
ness in high circles, and uneasiness in
financial quarters, but it will surprise
then both if the emperor's speech does
not tend to reassure them in regard to
his pacific intentions. 1t will allude to
the results of the imperial policy in ce-
menting the tripartite alliance, and will
probably be suffused throughout with a
spirit of optimism, which ought to ex-
tinguish the new war scare. 1t will
otherwise be rather barren of interest.
Allusions will be made to the army and
navy administration, colonial develop
ment and the Bismarck Salisbury agree
ment in regard to the suppression of
the slave trade. Some projects of i'm
portant internal bearing will fill up
the measure of imperial references.
The reichstag will first appoint presi-
dent to succeed Baron Wedell-Piesdorf.
who will be made minister of the royal
household on the advent of the en-
perOr. Herr Won Levetzow, who filled
the office from 1881 to 1884, will proba-
bly, be his successor. Herr Won Levet-
zow is now lands director Of the prov
ince of Bran0enburg. He is a COnserva-
tive. and left a fine record for capacity
as president during the years he filled
the office. The prospects are that the
session will be pacific and uneyentful.
Brisk party encounters are likely to
occur over the colonial policy. the Pro-
gressists and Socialists combining in
hostile criticism. The Center will join
with the Nationalists and Conservatives
in support of the government, especially
in relation to the slave trade blockade.

AN INEXCUsABLE BAUNDER.
Lord Randolph Churchiil's Opin-
ion Of the Sackville Episode.

Lord Randolph @Churchiil's Dpin.
ion of the Sackville Episode.
LONDON, Nov. 17.-LOrd Randolph
Churchill in speech at Paddington to-
day expressed the hope that the post of
minister at Washington would soon be
filled. He said there was no doubt that
Lord Sackville had been primarily in
discreet and had made an ineXcusable
blunder. No fault could be found with
the action of the United States cover n
ment towards the minister. The Amer
lean people were essentially just and
proud in their relations with other
countries. He deprecated the insulting
and menacing articles which had ap-
peared in the English press since Lord
SackviIle's dismissal, and said that
Englishmen ought to inform the Ames-
leans that they cherish no i'll feelings
toward item. Cheers. 80
Lord Randolph attached the greatest
Importance to the maintenance by
England of an imperturbable and
friendly attitude towards the United
States. He regarded the attitude taken
by Cleveland after the rejection of the
fisheries treaty by the senate as an un-
fortunate one. The utmost allowance
ought to be made for the American po-
sition on the Sackville affair in view of
! the time at which it occurred. Mr..
| Cleveland's action had been rather
| sharp. but itdid not justify the menaces,
| sneers and sulks in which the newspa-
pers of England had INDUCED. A war
between England and America, he
| declared, would be more atrocious and
| dangerous than any war since God ere

governments policy towards the new
| Washington administration would be
conceived with view to making the
American people our best allies ON all
questions and to producing durable
friendship between the English-speak
ing races. thus guaranteeing to human-
ity in turn the blessings of liberty and
peace. Lord Randolph approved of the
government taking measures to repress
crime in Ireland, and strongly advocated
the restriction of the traficin lntoxicat-
| ing drink

Special Cable to the Globe.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Parnellites.
who have been gradually losing conf
dence in the commission of inquiry, be-
fore which they hoped at first to make
fair showing for Ireland and her
cause. have now almost abandoned any
idea of doing more than proving the al
legged Parnell letters as fOrgerieS. The
commission began lis sttings with ap-
parent freedom from bias and with the
intention of giving an equal OppOrtu-
nifty for fair hearing to the Times and
to the accused commoners. For time
| this promise was good, but little incl
dents have arisen III the proceedings
tending to Stifle the hope once enter
tanned. The ParnelliteS are simply dis
gusted at the latitude given the Times
in its attempts to prove its case. The
production of evidence that has no
bearing whatever on the real issue, ana
the rehearsal Of crimes .s Il WHICH the
National league has no kind of connec-
ton, the enrolment Of moUnlightcTs
and all the rascals of Ireland as menl-
bers of the league. will have distinct
place III the popular summing up OF the
case, and will cause bad impression to
remain in the popular mind. This is
what the Times is working for. 1t can
not prove the letters alleged to be Par
nelFs genuine, and the only way out of
bad fix is to condemn the whole busi-
ness of Parnellism. OF course Mr.. Par
nell and his associates can disproYe
many of the charges now being
brought against them by the Times.
but though they win their case,
prove the utter falseness of the
letters and charges. yet the impression
that the Times is slowly but surely con-
veying to the minds of the people can
never be effaced. 1t is much easier to
impute crime to the members of the Ma
tional league when crime is general In
Ireland, than it will be for the accused
to refute the imputation. The charges
are more general than specific, and con
sequently it will be impossible for the
Parnellites to meet them. 1t is upon
this ground that the defendants protest
against the course pursued by the com
mission, and can only hope to refute the
principal charge. that regarding the
forged letters.

BERLIN. Nov. 17.-German aristocrats
are deeply stirred by an incident which
will probably result in change in an
old law. The famous Bertha Rother,
who posed as the model for Graf's
picture, ''The Fairy Tale" was for
maliy inducted last month as the owner,
by purchase, of an allodial estate in he
Duchy of Mecklenburg. Under the
local feudal laws the ownership of the
estate carries with it the privilege of a
peerage and judicial and executive
rights for its tenants. So. if the fair
Bertha marries, no matter who her hus-
Gand may be, under these laws the priv
ileges pertaining to the estate must be
granted. German society is raging,
especially as the woman was associated
with Graf in his scandalous trial at
Berlin, and since then she has been
virtually woman of the world and an
