BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE Emperor's speech
at the opening OF the Reichstag on Thurs
day IL awaited with an exciting interest
arising from the revival OF the war alarm.
The official opinion is that, although no
unusual pomp will attend the ceremony,
the Emperor will open the Reichstag in
person. II the tone Of the semi-oillcial
press were the guide, the speech would
plainly remind the Germans that they
should be on tho alert, menaced as they
are by powerful military neighbors on
both sides. But the semi-oiicial press do
not this time represent the official opinion.
There certainly il some rcsilcssness in
high circles and uneasiness in financial
quarters, but it will surprise both II the
Emperor's speech does not tend to reas-
sure them in regard 10 his pacific inten-
tions. II will allude TO the results OF
the imperial policy in ccmenting the
Tripartitc alliance, aud will probably be
sufIused throughout With spirit Of
optimism, which ought 30 cxtinguish the
new war scare. II will otherwise be
rather barren Of interest. illusions will
be made to tho army and navy admins
TRITON, colonial development and the Bis
marck- Salisbury agreement in regard TO
the suppression OF the slave trade. Some
projects OF important internal bearing will
iill up the measure of imperial references.
Tho Reichsiag will first appoint Prcsi-
dent 10 succeed Baron Wedell-PicsdoTf,
who will be made Minister OF the ROYAL
Household ON the advent Of the Emperor.
Herr Won Leyeizow, who filed the Office
from 1881 10 1884, will probably be his
successor. Herr Won Leyetzow il now
Landes director OF the province Of Bran
| denburg lilo isa Conservative and left
fine record for capacity rs President dur
ing the years he filled the Office.
The prospects are that the session will
be pacific and unevcntiul. Brisk partye
counters are likely 10 occur over the colon
ial policy.
The Progrcssisis and Socialists combine
In hostile criticism. The center will Join
with the Nationalist and Conservatives in
support OF the Government, especially in
relation TO the slave trade blockade
