He has held several conferences with
Prince Henry of Reuss, German en-
bassador at Vienna, in regard to the
interview with Count Won Taafe. the
Austrian prime minister. He also gave
private interview to a deputation OF
officers on the matter of religious serv-
ices for the soldiers. He saw Herr
Maybach. minister of public works. on
the railway extensions in AlSace and
Lorraine. The emperor has ordered
the prosecution of several papers for
publishing that part of the late EN-
peror Frederick's diary which related
to the Austro-Russian war besides the

especially irritated by the state

effect that the Empress Victoria ex-

journals of the Emperor Frederick, in

posted in the royal archives. After
business the emperor has made the
evenings festive. There was a family
dinner on Wednesday, at which were
present Prince Leopold, the Duke and
Duchess of Mecklenburg-Sc and
officers and ladies of the court. On
Thursday banquet was given i'll honor
of Grand Duke and Grand Duchess

told the reichstag that the memorandum

Ing on the estimates, showed that 49,,
100000 marks could not possibly cover
the cost of the building of twentyeight

is OIL the increase. The debate brought
oft the reminder that last year Gen.
Won Caprivi, the predecessor of Vice
Admiral Count de MONTE as chief of the
admiralty, presented memorandum to
the effect that the navy, although small,
was in the best of condition and able to
meet any demand that might be made
upon it in case of war. The members
of the reichstag now ask for what rea-

single ship is equal to modern require
