BERLIN, September 1.-The testament
tary notes of the late Kaiser William, alb
stracts of which have just been made
public by the present Emperor, although
of merely historical value, have bee
scanned with the deepest interest as re-
vealing the light in which he desired to
be viewed by posterity. Each was writ
ten at critical point in his career, and
all are penned with the deep piety
which characterized his public dis
patches. In the first, written shortly be-
fore he was made regent, after quoting
passage from the Scriptures. he says
"When this writing falls into the hands
of my friends, 1 shall have departed tn is
life; may it be vouchsafed to me in my
last moments to commend my spirits into
the hands of God. Should sudden death
overtake me, my while life has been a
preparation for the world to come. 1.-THE
second note, written after the war with
Austria, commences with the words
"Since, in 1867, I wrote to my surviving
friends my last farewell, fate has deeply
affected my life." 1t contains touching
allusion to the death of his brother, and ex-
presses heartfelt thanks to the people of
Prussia for the sentiments displayed
towards him in his prayer that God will
allow his successor to preserve to Prussia
the position plainly assigned her by
Providence. The note concludes: "May
God in His grace will it 80. Midnight
1886 1887, Wilhelm" The third note
commences in 1S7O-1S71, with the words:
"God was with us; to Him be the pow
er, the honor and the glory forever"
The passage runs: eff ever the finger
of God was clearly manifested in history
it was in the years 1866, 1870 and
1871" This and the fourth document
contain briefs of the events which marked
each year, leaving references to the kind
ness OF his people. Both end with the
prayer, "Lord, Thy will be done ON earth
as it is in Heaven! Amen" The last,
referring to Nibiling's attempt to assas-
sinate him, says: "My bodily sufferings
are small in comparison with the grief
that son of Prussia should have per-
petrated the deed, which will be doubly
hard to bear until the close of my life.
and which will cast gloom over my
heart and spirits for the remainder OF
my days." With meek submission to
God, he perceives in it design to prove
him before appearing at the great judg-
ment seat He offers the warmesG thanks
to his consort and family and the people
for the sympathy which they had given
him.
The appointment of Herr Won Bennig-
sen to the Governorship of Hanover, has
deeply annoyed the ultra Conservative
party and pleased the Liberals, who are
hopeful that it is the first step toward
place in the Cabinet. At the last elect
ion in the Sixth District of Berlin, Herr
Hazenclever received 80 900 votes, but
there was no Anti-Semitic candidate.
The Socialists therefore consider that
Herr Fiedkenechts election proves that,
although there is numerical decrease OF
4 900 votes, there is no actual decrease,
but rather slight increase, only half OF
the electors having voted.
Hopenburg, who was arrested at Nice
when about to mail package containing
a Lebel cartridge, was a classmate OF
Herbert Bismarck in the cadets military
school. He has been a correspondent Of
the Kolnische Zeitung. He has followed
closely the French and Italian maneuvers
in the Alps, and is reported to have sent
"a detailed report to Paris. 1t Is doubt
full, however, whether anything can be
proved against him.
Several Berlin papers and Berlin COR
respondents of Austrian journals are
making ill-natured remarks about the
Prince of Wales. The Vienna Deutsche
Zeitung, which is generally we'll informed
by the German Ambassador and Berlin
inspirations, publishes a story Of alleged
misunderstanding between Emperor
William and the Prince of Wales. The
latter is reported to have declared that it
was the late Emperor Frederick's inten-
ton to restore the Duke Of Cumberland to
the kingdom Of which his father was de-
prived, and to retrocede Schleswig-
Holstein to Denmark. The journal
further pretends that Emperor William
had the Prince of Wales in view when in
his Frankfort speech he said that EN-
peror Frederick's policy had been ira
duced, and proceeds gravely to assert
that the meeting between the Princess OF
Wales and her sisters was brought about
by this affair. Little credence is at
tached to the story,
