BERLIN, Oct, 20.--Emperor William is
expected TO arrive at Dremtz station, near
Potsdam, to. o.morrow, on his return from
italy. H. will drive at once to the marble
palace, where he will pass the day in re-
tirement with his family Emperor Will
liam will visit Berlin in the afternoon,
where he will receive the congratulations
of the municipal authorities. Upon his
return Oh Wednesday he will resume his
journey, going to Blankenburg, where he
will meet the regent OF Brunswick. ne
will then visit Prince Bismarck, who will
probably accompany him to Hamburg,
where the emperor is expected to arrive
October 20, and where he will preside over
the celebration of the entry Of Hansacity
into Seollv-rin. After leaving Hamburg
the emperor will visit Leipsic, and on the
3lst he will lay the oorner.stone of the
imperial palace of justice. He will return
to Berlin early in November, and be pres
ent at the opening of the new land tag. IL
is also said he will receive the czar on Mo-
vember 10.
The Prussian imperial family will pass
through Berlin on that date and the czar
will then repay the emperor's recent visit.
The czar and his family are going to visit
Copenhagen, where they will join the sill
Yer anniversary of the accession of King
Christian to the throne of Denmark. The
Berliners anticipate O dull winter. The
court is still morning and the leading fam
lilies 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 vati-
can. The semi official press here has been
instructed to maintain judicious silence
and ignore the vatican dissatisfaction.
The anger and discomfort Of the clericals
break out in the German and other Cath
olic organs. II is admitted the emperor
used the utmost tact in his interview with
the pope and Cardinal RamPella. the
papal secretary of state. but authentic adj
vices from Rome. which are accepted by
Catholics, state that the pope forced from
Emperor William the declaration that
Germany could not encourage papal aspir-
ations without endangering the present
interests with the Italian government.
From member Of the imperial attendants
it is learned that Emperor William, while
telling King Humbert how the pope had
insisted on talking on the question, said:
VI had to destroy, his allusion and 1T was
done, effectually."
The vatican does not rest submissively
and the active Cardinal Rampello, besides
instructing the bishops to review the agi-
tation for sympathy with the pope, has
prepared a statement explaining that his
holiness only consented to receive the en-
peror after obtaining formal declaration
that the visit did not imply any recogniza-
tion of the incorporation of Rome with
Italy.
At meeting of the medical society on
Thursday ast the members debated and
approved the report the effect Of which
will amount to accusing Dr. Mackenzie of
distorting facts disclosed by the post NOR
tenn examination of General Amergence
from the truth. The ex.empress is impli-
Gated in both Mackenzie's statements and
IN Geffecker's line OF defense. The friends
of the late emperor are hopeful that the
high character of the ex.empress will find
vindication in the developments of Gef-
fecker's trial. The group surround
ing Or. Friedberg is gaining
so much strength that it may
soon have power to influence the
abandonment of the prosecution of Prof.
Geffecken. The charge against him. as
now defined, is the treasonious divulging
of documents. The least sentence it would
be possible to impose on conviction upon
this charge is two years of penal servi-
tude. Emperor William Is much less de-
sirous that his trial should be proceeded
with than is Prince Bismarck, whom the
emperor persuaded to direct the abandon
ment of prosecution when his vindictiye
action appeared likely to recoil upon him
self.
The Landtag electoral excitement is on
the increase, and is also the activity of the
police in suppressing meetings hostile to
the government.
